Pictures posted by people at the scene show crowds walking through Budapest, some carrying European Union flags and messages of solidarity for the university.

RT reporter: Iraqi Army keeps press coverage of Mosul operation "censored and suppressed"

The Iraqi Army keeps press coverage of its operation in Mosul "censored and suppressed," only allowing access to certain locations, RT's Murad Gazdiev, reporting from the scene, says, as the UN warns of soaring civilian casualties.

When Murad Gazdiev arrived in the embattled city to cover the latest events, Iraqi officers warned his crew not to film what is being done to the city.

Gazdiev gave as an example an operation to dismantle a bomb, apparently left behind by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) militants in one of the houses.

Iraqi troops made the decision to blow up the building rather than demine it. They also did not allow the media to cover the event.

The Alexandrov Song and Dance Ensemble of the Russian Army is ready to go on any tour under instructions issued by the Russian Defense Ministry, the ensemble's new Artistic Director, Colonel Gennady Sachenyuk, told TASS.

"Despite the fact that we have folk musical instruments - the button accordions and balalaikas - in our hands, we are still military servicemen, and we obey all orders issued by the Defense Ministry unquestionably. We will fulfill our duty wherever we are sent," said Sachenyuk, when asked about the possibility of a trip to Syria.

Nigeria's water bill could criminalize drinking water for millions

Lagos, Nigeria, is surrounded by an abundance of water that millions of people, in Africa's most populous city, don't have access to. And now, it may become criminal to try and access it because the coastal city is in the middle of a water crisis.

Only 1 in 10 people have access to the water that the state utility provides. Everyone else is on their own; either by drilling their own boreholes or fetching water from lakes or rivers. If you can afford to pay local water vendors (and you'll PAY), you do that. But buyer beware- water is often sold in unsanitary jerry cans, bottles, and cellophane sachets.

In all of my years remarking on interesting stats, none has shocked people more than the one in the headline. But it's true! In fact, it's obviously true. It would be wild if it weren't true.

The Numbers

The main source for how various demographic groups voted is the Edison exit poll. This poll is relied upon by every major media outlet: NY Times, Washington Post, Fox, CNN, Wall Street Journal, etc. All of their exit poll reporting comes from this singular source.

Here is how the Edison exit poll reported the race and gender breakdown of support in the 2016 election:

Wallstreet Journal may have faked Youtube screenshots showing advertisements

A recent video made by well known youtube creator H3H3 seems to show some damning evidence that the Wall Street Journal faked screenshots of prime advertiser Coca Cola's promotional content being shown on a video whose title included the 'N-Word.'

Comment: The jury is still out, but the evidence so far looks compelling. WSJ has some splainin' to do.

Note: H3H3 has taken the video down when the author of the "racist" video in question revealed that it had a Copyright Claim against it, meaning all revenues would have been forwarded to the claimant, and not the video's uploader. In a subsequent video, H3H3 apologize, and provide additional evidence which is just as compelling, i.e. that the claimant only made $12 on the video which the WSJ reporter is claiming showed premium advertisement.

American healthcare - A racket of rackets

american healthcare
If you thought banking in our time was a miserable racket - which it is, of course, and by 'racket' I mean a criminal enterprise - then so-called health care has it beat by a country mile, with an added layer of sadism and cruelty built into its operations.

Lots of people willingly sign onto mortgages and car loans they wouldn't qualify for in an ethically sound society, but the interest rates and payments are generally spelled out on paper.They know what they're signing on for, even if the contract is reckless and stupid on the parts of both borrower and lender. Pension funds and insurance companies foolishly bought bundled mortgage bonds of this crap concocted in the housing bubble. They did it out of greed and desperation, but a little due diligence would have clued them into the fraud being served up by the likes of Goldman Sachs.
