Why Is Assad An Insane Suicidal Monster? – #PropagandaWatch

As we know from the political puppets and their mouthpieces in the controlled corporate media, Syrian President Basher al-Assad is a bloodthirsty monster responsible for the wanton slaughter of (fill in the number) of his own citizens, and he particularly enjoys dropping chemical weapons on women and children despite knowing that this is the one thing that will bring him universal condemnation and
McCartney sings from inside the bubble — grab the keys and lock climate denier Trump up?

Poor McCartney tries to write a rebel saviour song. Instead he captures the blind mystification of a protected class living in a bubble who have no idea that millions of people are rebelling against the bully thought police and their demands for hero-status and money. Half the population of the West see through the modern witchdoctors who get every prediction wrong. McCartney’s genius solution? “

Brett Kavanaugh and the Revealing Logic of ‘Boys Will Be Boys’
There’s been a lot of talk , over the weekend, about youthful indiscretion—about kids being kids , about boys being boys , about the liminal space that separates adulthood and its stark accountabilities from the heady years that precede them. The discussion’s most recent round has come because, on Sunday, a research psychologist and professor named Christine Blasey Ford revealed that she was the
Kavanaugh Accuser Willing To Testify If Asked
Senate Democrats want to delay Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation vote, after a woman went public to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual assault at a high school party decades ago. (Image credit: Drew Angerer/Getty Images)
The allegations against Brett Kavanaugh are about the present, not just the past
Kavanaugh’s denial raises a question that must be answered. The story Christine Blasey Ford tells of her assault at the hands of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and his classmate Mark Judge is chilling. They “physically pushed me into a bedroom,” Ford recalls. The boys “locked the door and played loud music” to drown out her cries for help. When that didn’t work, Ford says Kavanaugh clapped

You cannot have unlimited growth of anything on a finite planet. Obvious, right? Not to the geniuses in charge of the world's political-economic system. Or to humanity in general.

Change the Narrative, Create an Alternative Narrative, and Destroy
George Orwell's 1984 describes how a totalitarian government can manipulate people into believing the most grotesque, inhuman absurdities.

It robs them of the words, the capabilities, to even understand what is wrong, to explain it to themselves. To a great degree WE live in
