If you share this you might get sued - EU's new copyright law could kill the free internet

It's basically a battle between billionaires Axel Springer SE and Google. But it is ordinary internet users who will fall victim to the EU's new copyright law, which urgently needs modification.

It's good to share. But the European Parliament clearly doesn't think so. Its new copyright legislation, passed last week, clamps down quite severely on sharing things online. The dynamism of the internet is at threat. When Tim Berners-Lee, the creator of the World Wide Web, warns us of the dangers the new law poses, we should all sit up straight and pay attention.

For a start, the legislation shifts the responsibility for the uploading of copyright material to the internet platforms themselves. Beforehand it was the job of the companies who thought their copyright was infringed to do this. Many don't bother, and are happy to see their material uploaded to sites like YouTube as they know it promotes an artist's work and boosts sales. But all that is likely to change.

China's 'Peace Ark' medical ship makes maiden visit to Venezuela - Meanwhile US vows to increase pressure on country

RT
Sun, 23 Sep 2018 15:29 UTC

A Chinese hospital vessel has moored at a port near Caracas, where its staff will be providing free medical care to Venezuelans. Recently, a similar-class ship was sent by the US to Colombia to treat refugees fleeing Venezuela.

The 'Peace Ark,' a 300-bed Chinese Navy hospital ship, has moored on Saturday at the port of La Guaira lying close to Venezuelan capital. The vessel, which was commissioned back in 2008, is said to have eight surgery rooms and a medevac helicopter.

According to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, the 'Peace Ark' will stay in Venezuela for about a week. During the stay, the Chinese commander of the ship will meet with military and political officials and inspect Venezuelan and medical facilities.

China is one of Venezuela's key allies, and the vessel's visit was seen there as a sign of Beijing's support for the crisis-hit country. Maduro himself only recently came back from a trip to China, where he sought to attract investment and new loans. Though Beijing leaders pledged to help Caracas, it made no reference to pumping more money in Venezuela's economy.

Best of the Web: America's history of chemical weapons use and complicity in war crimes

Before pointing the finger at Russia and Syria, the U.S. should answer for its own record

The world is once again witnessing the height of U.S. hypocrisy as members of the U.S. State Department ratchet up anti-Russian and anti-Syrian rhetoric surrounding the use of chemical weapons in Syria and the UK. Ambassador Nikki Haley has warned Syria, Iran and Russia that they will be held accountable for their pre-determined use of chemical weapons in Idlib on innocent civilians. No evidence was provided to support her threats. The United States carried out cruise missile strikes on two previous occasions, and each time provided no evidence to prove their assertion that the Syrian government used chemical weapons in attacking civilians, nor was any rational reason given for such an obviously irrational decision on the part of the Syrian state. No evidence has ever been provided to justify the clear international crime of aggression committed by the United States on these two earlier occasions. Now, the UK and the U.S. are both attempting to accuse the Russian government of using chemical weapons in an alleged attempted assassination of a Russian national on UK soil. Once again, no real evidence has been presented, only assertions and hearsay.

On Thursday September 13^th, Assistant Secretary of State Manisha Singh declared before the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee that the United States would level the most severe of sanctions against Russia, including breaking all diplomatic ties, if Russia refused to admit its guilt in perpetrating the Skripal assassination fiasco and refused to submit to International inspections by the OPCW of its alleged chemical weapons and biological weapons programs. She stated that Russia would have to meet this requirement by an arbitrary November 4^th deadline, set by the United States in accordance with a U.S. law, not an international law. H.R. 1724 - Chemical and Biological Weapons Control and Warfare Elimination Act of 1991 specifies in part:

Recalcitrant Israeli defense minister says Israel will continue to attack Syria after setting up Russian jet to be destroyed - because Iran

Sputnik
Sun, 23 Sep 2018 09:44 UTC

Russia blames Israel for the destruction of the Il-20, which cost the lives of 15 servicemen, after it emerged that around the time if its demise, Israeli fighter jets were in immediate proximity to the Russian plane.

The Russian Ministry of Defense accused the Israeli Air Force of providing misleading information about the area where planned air strikes on Syrian targets were to take place, violating an agreement with Russia, and shortly afterwards Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman stated Israel won't ditch conducting operations in Syria to thwart Iran's military presence there, despite the tragic Il-20 incident.

"We have been operating prudently and responsibly and only in cases where we've had no other choice. So nothing has changed or will change. This is our policy," Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman told the local radio station Kan in an interview published Sunday morning.

"We won't let Syria be turned into a main Iranian military facility against the Israeli state. We continue to act... and we have all the necessary means and opportunities to this end," he noted.

Comment: Translation: "we have lots of weapons and we will kill anyone we don't like, regardless of morality or international law."

Schmuel Rosner: Full-time NYT propagandist for Israel

Donald Johnson and Philip Weiss

Sun, 23 Sep 2018 09:00 UTC

Jewish supremacist Shmuel Rosner

The New York Times just ran a column by Shmuel Rosner calling for Palestine to become part of Jordan in order for Palestinians to obtain political rights. The column includes several swipes at Palestinians as lesser to Israeli Jews, and needing to be separated from Israel:

Since 1967, Israel hasn't been able to identify a Palestinian leadership that can be trusted to keep the peace and maintain order.... And so it has always hoped that Israel's eventual separation from Palestinians will include a guarantee of - to put it bluntly - adult supervision.

Comment: If anyone needs supervision it is the Jewish State, which is seemingly stuck at the developmental level of a three-year-old: selfish, no regard for telling the truth, and a total lack of responsibility for one's actions.

Why does the Times have this guy in its stable? The anti-Palestinian racist viewpoint is adequately represented by Bret Stephens and Thomas Friedman, but they also write about other things - Stephens wants a war with Iran, for instance and doesn't like Trump. He and Gail Collins have adorable Resistance lovefests sometimes. Thomas Friedman loves CEO's and austerity and war and occasionally even says something sensible about global warming.

But all Rosner does is talk about Israel from a far right perspective.

Comment: Better yet, people like Rosner don't just need adult supervision, they need to be institutionalized, for their own good and the good of those around them.

Second woman accuses Kavanaugh of sex abuse - claims are even weaker than Ford's

Matt Margolis

As Christine Blasey Ford's accusation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh lost all credibility, it was reasonable to assume there was a reason for all the stalling. Many believed that somewhere, somehow, leftists would find someone else to come forward with accusations of sexual misconduct against Judge Kavanaugh.

Earlier this evening The New Yorker published a story written by Ronan Farrow and Jane Meyer proving that theory correct. This story centers on Deborah Ramirez, who has come forward (or was pushed to come forward) with a claim that while she and Kavanaugh were both students at Yale, they were both at a drunken dorm party where Kavanaugh allegedly exposed himself to her.

Judge Kavanaugh has already released a statement denying the allegation. "This alleged event from 35 years ago did not happen. The people who knew me then know that this did not happen, and have said so. This is a smear, plain and simple. I look forward to testifying on Thursday about the truth, and defending my good name - and the reputation for character and integrity I have spent a lifetime - against these last-minute allegations."

Comment: The sad thing is, accusations like Ramirez's work. As in geopolitics, the new normal is "highly likely, therefore guilty" - no evidence, no trial, just guilt by accusation (e.g., the Skripals, Assad "gassing his own people", Russia "downing MH17", etc.). For example:

A pattern of accusations does not equal a pattern of conduct, you idiot.

On what possible basis is an accusation from a woman who was drunk and doesn't even remember if Kavanaugh was the 'guilty' party, "credible"? Another idiot. And another:

This kind of hyper puritan moralizing has gone over the top. On what planet is a drunken, uncertain memory of a man's genitals "deeply disturbing"? And since when is it the FBI's job to investigate every instance of drunken college students exposing themselves in the '80s?

Israel thinks apologies and high level personnel will absolve it of Russian jet tragedy

Sputnik
Sun, 23 Sep 2018 14:39 UTC

Israel is guided solely by its military interests in the region, and this factor along with the lack of coordination with the Russian side led to the crash of Russia's Il-20 military plane in Syria, Egyptian military expert Adil Suleiman told Sputnik.

The Egyptian analyst noted that the tragedy was the result of a lack of coordination at the operational and tactical levels. "It was not taken seriously in full, especially by the Israeli side," Suleiman said.

"Israel does not care about anything apart from its interests, especially with regard to military operations. It is not ready to bear military losses and look weak... Israel is not interested in who is on the other side, whether it is the Syrian side, which is armed with Russian advanced weapons, or any other," he noted.

Please God, no: Trade tensions between US and China could drag on for decades

Pepe Escobar

Alibaba's Jack Ma has warned that the ongoing US-China trade war could last at least 20 years. As we'll see, it's actually more like 30 - up to 2049, the 100^th anniversary of the foundation of the People's Republic of China (PRC).

Steve Bannon always boasted that President Trump was bound to conduct a "sophisticated form of economic warfare" to confront China.

The logic underpinning the warfare is that if you squeeze the Chinese economy hard enough Beijing will submit and "play by the rules."

The Trump administration plan - which is, in fact, trade deficit hawk Peter Navarro's plan - has three basic targets:

Displace China from the heart of global supply chains.
Force companies to source elsewhere in the Global South all the components necessary for manufacturing their products.
Force multinational corporations to stop doing business in China.

The overarching concept is that unending confrontation with China is bound to scare companies/investors away.

There's no evidence South Korean or German conglomerates, for instance, would withdraw from the vast Chinese market and/or production facilities.

And even if the Flight Away from China actually happened, arguably the American economy would suffer as much, if not more, than China's.

The latest US tariff volley may lower China's GDP by only 0.9 percentage points, according to Bloomberg Economics. But China may still grow a healthy 6.3% in 2019.

UK has "grave concerns" over Steele involvement in Russiagate, pleads with Trump not to declassify docs

Tyler Durden
ZeroHedge

Donald Trump and Theresa May

The British government "expressed grave concerns" to the US government over the declassification and release of material related to the Trump-Russia investigation, according to the New York Times. President Trump ordered a wide swath of materials "immediately" declassified "without redaction" on Monday, only to change his mind later in the week by allowing the DOJ Inspector General to review the materials first.

The Times reports that the UK's concern was over material which "includes direct references to conversations between American law enforcement officials and Christopher Steele," the former MI6 agent who compiled the infamous "Steele Dossier." The UK's objection, according to former US and British officials, was over revealing Steele's identity in an official document, "regardless of whether he had been named in press reports."

We would note, however, that Steele's name was contained within the Nunes Memo - the House Intelligence Committee's majority opinion in the Trump-Russia case.

Comment: Steele is small fry compared to Stefan Halper. How much will the documents reveal about him, and about Alexander Downer for that matter?

Pure hubris: The New York Times as judge and jury

Joe Lauria
Consortium News
Fri, 21 Sep 2018 00:00 UTC

Seeking to maintain its credibility, The New York Times dispenses with the criminal justice system and basic principles of journalism to weigh in again on Russia-gate, reports Joe Lauria.

We've seen it before: a newspaper and individual reporters get a story horribly wrong but instead of correcting it they double down to protect their reputations and credibility - which is all journalists have to go on - and the public suffers.

Sometimes this maneuver can contribute to a massive loss of life. The most egregious example was the reporting in the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq. Like nearly all Establishment media, The New York Times got the story of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction - the major casus belli for the invasion - dead wrong. But the Times, like the others, continued publishing stories without challenging their sources in authority, mostly unnamed, who were pushing for war.

The result was a disastrous intervention that led to hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths and continued instability in Iraq, including the formation of the Islamic State.

In a massive Times article published on Thursday, entitled, "A Plot to Subvert an Election: Unravelling the Russia Story So Far," it seems that reporters Scott Shane and Mark Mazzetti have succumbed to the same thinking that doubled down on Iraq. They claim to have a "mountain of evidence" but what they offer would be invisible on the Great Plains.

Comment: By 'doubling down on its mistakes', the NYT risks exposure for distortion, hearsay, false accusations, lack of source identification and the stigma of yellow journalism. The power of any story is its truth supported by facts.
