Gaza Woes Force Educated To Leave

By Mousa Tawfiq: When Egypt opened the Rafah crossing in February for three days, thousands of Palestinians in Gaza applied to leave.
Among them were 29-year-old Rani Humeid.
“I’m leaving Gaza to find the future that I dream of,” said Humeid as he was waiting in a makeshift departure hall at the crossing.
Humeid earned a master’s degree in media and public relations in Malaysia in 2012, and he continued studying when he returned.
“I received a research grant from the Media Development Center of Birzeit University in Gaza,” said Humeid.
But the young scholar also needed to earn money. He worked, he said, as a part-time lecturer at both Al-Aqsa and Palestine universities in Gaza and took on a job as a program coordinator at the Palestinian Association for Education and Environmental Protection.
“I’ve done a lot during the last three years in Gaza but I’m sure I would have accomplished more if I had been abroad,” he said.  
“Life here is difficult. I lost a lot of opportunities because of the closed crossings.”

One Day, 4/3/16

By William Collins aka mra-uk: It didn’t start well. Bleary eyed from sleep I switched on Radio 4. I tell myself I just want to know what the enemy is saying. In truth it’s some sort of compulsion, a masochism…..

No, no,….that’s surely not Alison Saunders….
Thankfully, I reached the off switch before the urge to impale myself on the nearest railings became overwhelming. 

I heard the word “internet”. I didn’t catch much else. That was enough. It would be her latest wheeze to criminalise men for writing stuff. I didn’t want to know.
[Sure enough, it was…see here for our beloved DPP’s latest swathe of new criminal offences. It’ll be strictly gender neutral, of course. How could you doubt it. Oh, but the HuffPo piece considers it worth mentioning that, “Legislation rolled out in December created the offence of “controlling or coercive behaviour” in intimate or family relationships. It means domestic abusers who control their victims through social media accounts or spy on them online could face up to five years in prison.” Monomania, at all, Ms Saunders? I suppose there’s nothing to be gained by pointing out that men are, if anything, subject to rather more internet trolling than women? No, I thought not.

What Dershowitz, Prince Andrew & Maxwell Have In Common

By Gilad Atzmon: The British socialite madam Ghislaine Maxwell (the daughter of) stands accused of recruiting Jeffrey Epstein’s “teen sex slaves.” Ms. Maxwell was ordered by a Manhattan judge to hand over any correspondence she has had with the Jewish billionaire pedophile.
The alleged madam will also have to produce any documents from between 1999 and 2016 that mention the sex-trafficking ring she and Epstein allegedly operated.
Victim Virginia Roberts has sued Maxwell in Manhattan federal court for defamation. Roberts, who is now 32, has also claimed Maxwell pimped her out to Epstein’s wealthy pals, including Prince Andrew. 
Roberts escaped from the sex ring in 2002 after fleeing to Australia when Epstein and Maxwell allegedly sent her to Thailand to study massage.

Ireland: Boy And Girl, Both 16, Have Consensual Sex. Only The Boy Faces Statutory Rape Charges - Bacause Penis

Community of the Wrongly Accused: A 16-year-old boy had consensual sex with a 16-year-old girl. She told her parents, who objected to the boy, and they had him taken into state custody and charged with statutory rape. He's out on bail, awaiting another court date. She was never taken into custody, because under the applicable law, she did not commit a crime.  
It happened in Ireland where the age of consent for both males and females is 17, and boys under that age can be prosecuted for statutory rape, girls can't. The applicable statute provides: "A female child under the age of 17 years shall not be guilty of an offence under this Act by reason only of her engaging in an act of sexual intercourse."
The judge said this about the young male "criminal": "Someone has to guide him and be firm, someone has to give him love. His parents have let him down."
Notice that no one has to "guide" the girl, or be "firm" with her - and her parents did not let her down. Only the boy requires such assistance, and he did exactly what she did. He is guilty by reason of penis.

How To Escape Minimum Wage / Part-Time Jobs Purgatory

By Charles Hugh Smith: Many young people are stuck in the purgatory of minimum wage and/or part-time jobs: that raises the question: how do you get out of minimum-wage purgatory?

The conventional answer is, “get another college degree.” Perhaps this once had some value, but this now yields rapidly diminishing returns due to supply and demand: everyone else seeking an escape from low-wage/part-time purgatory is pursuing the same strategy, so there is an oversupply of over-credentialed job seekers.
As I point out in my book on jobs and careers in the new economy, Get a Job, Build a Real Career and Defy a Bewildering Economy, issuing 500,000 MBAs does not automatically create jobs for all those graduates: credentials don’t create jobs.
What creates jobs are opportunities to earn high profits via developing profitable skills. Not all businesses are highly profitable; low-margin businesses don’t make enough profit to pay high wages.

Trump-Addicted America

Max and Stacy ask what’s the matter with Kansas? And Virginia? North Carolina? Florida? Alabama? Michigan and Massachusetts? Are voters flocking to Donald Trump because they’re racist? Or, is it the economy and so-called ‘free trade’ deals, stupid?

Fatherless Families Bring Chaos

Men Are Good!: I can think of a number of ways to use money to help dads. Insure 50% custody and pay off old onerous and questionable child support. (i.e. child support that accumulated while in jail etc) Fund research into fatherhood. Fund PSA's on the importance of fatherhood. Neutralize the bigots who have ruled this incredible family hostile takeover. Fund the education of therapists and the general public about Parental Alienation. Fund men's studies that are not feminist driven to start to bring back a sense of honor and pride in being a man and a father. Basically trying to undo the hatred that has been foisted on all males over the last 50 years. That's just a start! lol Oh, and starting sheds for men, only men. Yeah. Bring the devastation of relational violence to the forefront. Women have been protected by our ignorance feigned or otherwise. It's time we started calling out the relational hatred that has been swept under the rug while people scream about physical violence as if it exists in a vacuum.

One Nation Under Surveillance - U.S. Government Pushed Tech Companies To Hand Over Source Code

Our founding fathers studied power structures over the millennia and knew exactly what they were doing when solidifying the Bill of Rights into the U.S. Constitution. All it took was a couple hundred years, an extraordinarily ignorant and apathetic American public, and a major terror attack to roll back this multi-generational gift.

For many years, I and countless others have been screaming from the rooftops that a society should never trade civil liberties for security. Life on earth has always been dangerous for us humans, and what has historically separated free and noble civilizations from stunted tyrannies is a willingness to acknowledge such a precarious existence while at the same time demanding and defending one’s dignity and liberty. In the aftermath of the attacks of 9/11, the American public has demonstrated no such strength of character or historical maturity, thus allowing a corrupt, deceptive and lawless government to run roughshod over freedom with very little resistance.

Have British Women Become More Work-Centred In The Past 16 Years? Dr Catherine Hakim Reveals All

By Mike Buchanan: In the next few days I hope to publish an 18-minute-long interview with Kay Burley of Sky News, recorded on International Women’s Day, 8 March. In the course of the discussion I raised the issue of Preference Theory – a theory published by Dr Catherine Hakim, a world-renowned sociologist, in 2000 – and her response was one I’ve encountered on other occasions, scoffing at the original study having been published 16 years ago, implying that things had changed over the intervening years. The idea that British women’s preferences with respect to paid employment might have changed substantially in the course of the past 16 years struck me as ridiculous, and I said as much, in my trademark diplomatic style.
In an effort to obtain an informed up-to-date view on the matter, I contacted Dr Hakim, [top left] and she kindly responded with this, for which I thank her.

What You Don't See About The Anti-Christ!?

"The Orthodox Church says the anti-Christ will be a Jew. ...The Jewification of the world continues to grow. Israel's power increases; Hanukkah replaces Christmas; and the Holocaust religion makes martyrs out of Jewish corpses. With that shield of victimhood, the economic planners go untouched. Silently hidden from view, a "One World Governance" is forming of which Jews are the planners. ...The operatives of global finance: Rothschilds, The Fed, Goldman Sachs, revolve around what Christ called the Synagogue of Satan. ...What you don't see about the anti-Christ could end up in your wrist!" Said Brother Nathanael.
