OF THE
TIMES
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well... You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect...
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.
I doubt Putin would use tactical nuclear weapons in EASTERN Europe but I don't think he would hesitate to use them in WESTERN Europe. If push...
Too good 👍 +1 👍 Pen out of ink? I say US stop pussying around. Let's get the show on the road. Tonight? Can be a hefty trigger point. But early...
Well, that was a rather poorly written piece of propaganda.

"We are deeply concerned about this legislation - what it could do in terms of stifling dissent and free speech.'" Wow. Hypocritical, or what?

Now we have the President of France and his ratings have escalated to such an extent that he has achieved a high popularity rating for his handling of the situation. The mind boggles. How easily the public is fooled.
Does nobody ask, why France was involved in the Syrian conflict in the first place,
does nobody ask why the French President Kow Tow.to the demands of the US at the drop of a hat. Why the Mistral was suddenly cancelled. at the cost of millions if not billions of compensation to Russia.
For a president of any country to accept that they can achieve political credibility on the backs of innocents, not just in his own country but in another sovereign country to my mind is unconscionable.
I am reminded of the Chinese Mandate of Heaven,
The Mandate of Heaven (Chinese: 天命; pinyin: tiānmìng; literally: "heaven decree") is an ancient Chinese belief and philosophical idea that tiān (heaven or universe) granted emperors the right to rule based on their ability to govern well and fairly. According to this belief, heaven bestows its mandate to a just ruler, the Son of Heaven. The Mandate of Heaven determines whether an emperor of China is sufficiently virtuous to rule; if he does not fulfill his obligations as emperor, then he loses the Mandate and thus the right to be emperor. The Mandate of Heaven would then transfer to those who would rule best. The fact that a ruler was overthrown was taken by itself as an indication that the ruler had lost the Mandate of Heaven. In addition, it was also common belief that natural disasters such as famine and flood were other signs of heaven’s displeasure with the current ruler, so there would often be revolts following major environmental events as citizens saw these as signs of heaven's displeasure.[1]
I don't think that a man that speaks from both sides of his mouth qualifies for such mandate.
Am I angry, you bet I am I am angry, angry that the whole damn mess that these sycophants from hell are doing with the world and the humanity that resides on it and few will stand up for the people of the world that are sucked dry from the games of power, resource grab.
They are not leaders, they are nothing more than the hand held puppets some call them marionettes that dangle on a string.
