Pro-Israel groups reportedly break law, media & Congress look the other way
Documents obtained from the Israeli government show U.S. pro-Israel organizations secretly used Israeli money to influence US policies. Such behavior is illegal under US law. Yet, mainstream US media so far are ignoring the information, and Congress shows no interest in investigating this evidence of foreign tampering. A bipartisan Congressional caucus with 80 members is connected to one of the groups... more »

Foreign Policy Elites Ignore Public Sentiment at Their Peril
*Christopher A. Preble, Mathew Burrows* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] Although Donald Trump has filled his administration with those committed to sustaining or expanding America’s foreign wars, his promise to focus attention at home was popular in 2016, and still is today. In his new book *America in the World*, Robert Zoellick observes that some of America’s most “tragic failures” occurred “when leaders lost sight of practical foreign policies,” and that public sentiment is a key factor separating the practical and achievable from the fanciful and reckless.

West Coast Fires: The Forests Are Dying Due to Geoengineering – If the Forests Die, We Will Die
We are currently seeing unprecedented numbers of forest fires along the West Coast of the United States. The sheer volume of fires and acreage involved is something that has never been seen before.

June Is Apparently Bustin' Out All Over
I've been reading John Smith's recent fascinating TCW piece about what he sees as 'the next BBC scandal', concerning the BBC’s first-ever Director of Creative Diversity, June Sarpong - a woman who, by John's account, puts even Naga Munchetty to shame when it comes to 'outside activities'. The particularly striking thing, as far as I'm concerned, is that her wage hasn't been made public: However, in a move that’s hard to imagine any other publicly-funded organisation agreeing to, her salary remains under wraps.

Of BBC Three, owls, and the BBC badly misreading their new youth target audience
According to research quoted by *The Daily Mail* from Enders Analysis (the latter often cited and invited for interview by the BBC), the decision made by the great strategic brains of half a dozen years or so ago at the BBC to move BBC Three online resulted in the station collapsing by 89% in terms of viewing minutes. Why? Because its target youth audience, whenever it deigns to watch such things, still prefers watching 'linear TV' to watching it online. The BBC assumed otherwise, and - as a result - the intended under-35 audience slumped into a great depression. I'm sure no... more »

Biden Amplifies Anti-Sandanista Propaganda
A clever trick of propaganda is to introduce false information as a precept to an argument with what seems like a valid conclusion.

It's been a big day today for the BBC in Scotland - and not just for the reasons mentioned in the previous post. The Corporation's Political Editor north of the border, Brian Taylor, is leaving his job after 29 years. That's a long time to be in just one BBC reporting post. To put the length of his career in context, he began the same year that the Soviet Union collapsed; Kim Il-sung, grandfather of Kim Jong-un, still had three years to live as supreme leader of North Korea; and the UK still had six years to wait for Tony Blair to become PM and for things to (allegedly) onl... more »
Nipping Wee Nippy
We hear today that Nicola Sturgeon's daily coronavirus press briefings are from now *not* going to be shown every day on BBC One Scotland and BBC Scotland. From now on the BBC will only broadcast them as and when "editorial merit" demands. Opposition parties in Scotland regularly accuse the First Minister of using the briefings to score partisan points. They have been furiously complaining to the BBC for months, calling on the Corporation to stop giving just one politician (from the governing party in Scotland) an hour or so's free range every day. It seems that the BBC has... more »
Cuties
My Twitter feed, looking back a couple of weeks or so, was full of people raging about a hyper-sexualised poster for Netflix's *Cuties - *a poster showing four 11-year-old girls posing in a hyper-sexualised fashion. They felt it verged on child pornography. Others defended it and said blamed Netflix for the 'out of context' poster. Among the director's defenders was the BBC News website. Its first online report (without a byline) clearly takes her side in its language, as does its second report (also without a byline). The anonymous BBC journalist behind the second piece asser... more »

Intro to My September 12, 2011 Speech at Western Kentucky University

Brexiters FOR State Aid?
Once upon a time, Newt Gingrich could say that Boris Johnson was “Margaret Thatcher with wild hair”. Now that would be difficult to argue. Matthew Lesh, Head of Research at the Adam Smith Institute, reports on CapX that “the UK could sacrifice a deal with the EU — which would in the short run seriously […] The post Brexiters FOR State Aid? appeared first on Econlib.

*Greencrow says:* As we say in the tinfoil hat world... "*What a coinkydynk*!" The *19th* anniversary of *9/11* comes in the midst of the *CovID-19 Plandemic/Scamdemic/HOAX/COUP*. As I posted yesterday from Amazing Polly, the circle of the *un*apprehended insurrection is about to be closed in this November's US election. The same Perp*Z* who "did" 9/11 are going to "finish the job" and attack the US nation once again...by removing the constitutionally elected President. Actually, they've never stopped attacking the US...just like cancer doesn't take a vacation from metastasizing ... more »

Earth in the very dim and distant past
Ian Webster has created a very interesting visualization of how the Earth - the entire planet - looked during various past ages and eras and epochs. One can select an era from a drop-down menu, and see what the globe would have looked like during that time. The continents move, vegetation patterns are shown, and other details provided. For example, here's our planet during the Ediacaran Period, about 600 million years ago. And here's Earth during the early Triassic era, about 240 million years ago. You can see how the continents are radically different in shape and layout ... more »

What Is the "Military Industrial Complex", and How Can It Be Defeated? Video of What Is the "Military Industrial Complex", and How Can It Be Defeated?
