Dr. Gerald Young Of Auckland, NZ “Known Genital Mutilator”

By : Dr. Gerald Young [right] of Auckland, New Zealand has been placed on the “Known Genital Mutilators” directory at neonatalcutting.org.
From the CityMed website we read about the doctor:
“Dr Gerald Young
BHB, MBChB (Auckland), FRNZCGP

I have been a medical practitioner in the city since 1988. I have been working from CityMed since it was started in 2000. I am one of the directors of CityMed.
I have a special interest in surgical procedures done under local anaesthetic in our specially designed outpatient theatres in CityMed. This allows us to perform surgical procedures very cost effectively, for example a hernia can be repaired for under $2500 which is one of the cheapest rates for this procedure in New Zealand. Prior to my general practice training I was a surgical registrar for 3 years in the Auckland Surgical Training Programme.
Procedures offered include:
Skin lumps and skin cancer surgery
Ingrown Toenails
Vasectomy – no scalpel keyhole technique
Umbilical Hernia Mesh Repair
Inguinal Hernia Repair – Open Mesh technique
Circumcision

German Intel Clears Russia On Interference

Mainstream U.S. media only wants stories of Russian perfidy, so when German intelligence cleared Moscow of suspected subversion of German democracy, the silence was deafening, says ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.
By Ray McGovern: After a multi-month, politically charged investigation, German intelligence agencies could find no good evidence of Moscow-directed cyber-attacks or a disinformation campaign aimed at subverting the democratic process in Germany. Undaunted, Chancellor Angela Merkel has commissioned a new investigation.
Last year, Berlin’s two main intelligence agencies, the BND and BfV (counterparts of the CIA and FBI) launched a joint investigation to substantiate allegations that Russia was meddling in German political affairs and attempting to shape the outcome of Germany’s elections next September.
Like the vast majority of Americans malnourished on “mainstream media,” most Germans have been led to believe that, by hacking and “propaganda,” the Kremlin interfered in the recent U.S. election and helped Donald Trump become president.
German intelligence agencies rarely bite the hand that feeds them and realize that the most bountiful part of the trough is at the CIA station in Berlin with ultimate guidance coming from CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia. But this time, in an unusual departure from past practice, analysts at the BND and BfV decided to act like responsible adults.

Israel’s Vision For The Future Is Terrifying

By Ramzy Baroud: Empirical historical evidence combined with little common-sense are enough to tell us the type of future options that Israel has in store for the Palestinian people: perpetual apartheid or ethnic cleansing, or a mix of both.
The passing of the “Regularisation Bill” on 6 February is all we need to imagine the Israeli-envisaged future. The new law allows the Israeli government to retroactively recognise Jewish outposts built without official permission on privately-owned Palestinian land.

All settlements – officially recognised settlements and unauthorised outposts – are illegal under international law. The verdict has been passed numerous times by the United Nations and, more recently, pronounced with unmistakable clarity in UN Security Council Resolution 2334.

Israel’s response was the announcement of the construction of over 6,000 new housing units to be built throughout the Occupied Palestinian territories, the construction of a brand new settlement (the first in 20 years), and the new law that paves the way for the annexation of large swathes of the occupied West Bank.

The Road To Hell Was Paved With College Safe Spaces

That isn’t what this resistance is now doing. What they’re doing instead is trying to take maybe the only faction worse than Donald Trump, which is the deep state, like the CIA with its history of atrocities, and say they ought to almost engage in like a soft coup where they take the elected President and prevent him from enacting his policy. And I think it is extremely dangerous to do that.– From Glenn Greenwald’s recent interview with Democracy Now

Trump Starts War On Lame-Stream Media - Press Conference

The US President said. "Reporters and folks will not tell you the truth and will not treat the wonderful people of our country with the respect that they deserve. ...Much of the media speaks not for the people but for the special interests and for those profiting off a very very obviously broken system. The press has become so dishonest that if we don't talk about it we are doing a tremendous disservice to the American people. ...the press honestly is out of control, the level of dishonesty is out of control."

Exactly Who Is It That Is In ‘Denial’?

A somewhat biased film review
By Gilad Atzmon: In her book Denying the Holocaust (1993), Deborah Lipstadt confessed that it was David Irving's considerable reputation as an historian that made him "one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial." "Familiar with historical evidence," she wrote, "he bends it until it conforms with his ideological leanings and political agenda." Irving responded by claiming that Lipstadt’s words were libellous and filed a legal case against her and her publisher Penguin Books.
Was Irving brave or naïve in putting the Holocaust on trial? Probably both. Back in 1996, was Irving a hero or just grossly miscalculating in believing he stood a chance in taking on the Holocaust, still the most popular Jewish religion? Again, probably both.
The other day, I watched Mick Jackson’s ‘Denial’. The film tells the story of Irving’s 2000 defeat in court - a disaster he voluntarily brought upon himself and indeed, Irving has clearly made some mistakes in his life. Yet, in 2017 it is impossible to deny that, back in 2000, Irving was well ahead of most of us.

While Elites Played Empire, America Fell Apart

Dear Imperial America: the lifestyle you ordered is permanently out of stock.
By Charles Hugh Smith: Our extraordinary misallocation of national treasure and political power has set a banquet of consequences that few are willing to face, much less address head-on. If we had to sum up this vast misallocation, we might start by characterizing it as the result of a multitude of elites playing Empire with money borrowed from future generations.

We can start the list of extraordinary misallocations of national treasure with the Neocon's endless wars of choice. Ten years ago, estimates of the total cost of the Iraq misadventure were $3 trillion: Cost of Iraq War: $3 Trillion; Cost of Solar Plants to Power all 105 million U.S Households: $500 Billion (April 10, 2008)

(Yes, I know solar energy is not "the solution" due to intermittency, lack of storage, fossil fuels are needed to build and maintain the solar infrastructure, etc.--but the point is: would we be better off if we'd invested 20% of the money squandered on the Iraq misadventure on alternative energy, even with all its limitations?)

UK MP Philip Davies Determined To Block ‘Women-Only’ Bills

By Vivien Mason: Being very thick-skinned is a prerequisite to being an MP and it helps you tackle criticism, particularly when you believe it is not justified, Tory MP for Shipley Philip Davies has said.
Speaking with the Telegraph & Argus, Mr Davies said he was “at a loss” to understand why he was attacked for sticking up for equal rights and trying to knock-back Bills that were, he claims, a dog’s dinner.
But he says the views of those who point a finger at him give him no sleepless nights and he vows to continue standing up for his constituency and for what he feels is right for the country. 
He refers to attacks by other MPs and other organisations over his attempt to block Bills aimed at protecting women only.
Just before Christmas he tried to “filibuster” a Bill in Parliament to tackle violence against women because the Bill did not make any attempt to protect men.
