MEDIA MANIPULATION - FROM GLOBAL WARMING TO ISRAELI APARTHEID - Hiding the threats of the nuclear industry and overpopulation, and covering up the real Apartheid, the one by Arabs against Jews.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are being manipulated.  We don't always know how, but we sense that political and financial interests have mastered the art of pushing our emotional buttons while exploiting our ignorance in order to advance their agendas.
 
The list of current issues that are - if not completely manufactured - at least significantly distorted is long.  
 
Here is a small sample:
 
1)  Elect Hillary just because she's a woman.
Until scandals exploded in her face, Hillary Clinton was being pushed as the most logical Democrat candidate to the presidency because she is a woman.  In other words, her gender was her leading attribute for the presidency. 

Having a woman president trumped all other concerns about her disturbing track record dating back to her years as a lawyer in Arkansas. Feminist propaganda and political correctness has that numbing effect on us.
 
2)  Climate change as the biggest threat ever
It has been defined by top world leaders as the biggest threat to humans and to the planet.  It used to be called global warming, but that got discredited very quickly, so the threat was redefined as climate change, which covers all possibilities.
 
However, world climate is in constant flux.  That shouldn't be "news".  The history of planet Earth has been dramatic:  continents have shifted again and again; there were times when our atmosphere was toxic to life; and we have had "snowball Earth" periods when our entire planet was covered with ice, although volcanos eventually took care of that.

Illustration of terror nuclear
explosion in the atmosphere
What is a real threat to humans and to life on this planet is nuclear power in its many forms.  Nuclear power plants can go into complete meltdown if our power grid is ever destroyed.  And what could do that? 

A nuclear device exploded in the atmosphere could cause an EMP effect - an electromagnetic pulse that would fry the power grid and all electronics, unleashing the meltdown of dozens of nuclear power plants in the affected area, which could be the entire United States and Canada.  A major solar flare coming in our direction could do the same thing.   

The radioactive plume from
Fukushima to our W. coast
That could happen tomorrow.   And yet, we are not prepared for that, and the media rarely mentions it. 

The destruction of the power grid would plunge Canada and the US  into the stone age.  Anything that needs computers to function, including transportation, would come to a halt.
 
Nuclear power -  and not climate change - is the real nightmare.  But we don't hear much about that because those who manipulate us don't want us to turn against nuclear power and the ticking bombs called nuclear power plants.  There is too much money invested in them. 
 
Canada, my country, just made a terrific deal to sell tons of uranium to India for their nuclear industry.
 
3)  SHHH -  Don't mention OVERPOPULATION
The subject of overpopulation has become taboo, perhaps because it is most prominent among people of color.  Although Western women are having fewer babies than ever, people from other cultures continue to reproduce at an alarming rate.   Their babies will demand more natural resources, and will originate more waste.  They will cut down the remaining trees; continue to poison rivers, lakes, and oceans with their pollution; raise, torture and slaughter billions of animals for consumption, and drive wildlife to extinction. 
 
Activists who claim to love planet Earth should spend their time advocating for zero population growth instead of the myriad of little projects to make the world "greener".   
 
The fact is that all their so-called green solutions have backfired.  Solar panels and wind turbines kill millions of birds.   
 
The problem is not fossil fuels as much as the out-of-control reproductive growth of humans on this planet.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Those are big manipulative projects, and not hard to understand once we have the facts.

But there are other more historical manipulations that have propagated like a virus, covering up or distorting well documented facts and logical thinking.

One of them is calling Israelis "Nazis" while obscuring the enthusiastic participation by the Mufti of Jerusalem, the Palestinian Arab leader at the time,  in the design and implementation of the Holocaust. 

The genocidal Nazi ideology is still very much alive in the Muslim world, and very particularly among Palestinians, who demonize Jews and plan the eventual destruction of the Jewish people.

The other blatant propaganda manipulation is accusing Israel of Apartheid, while covering up the historical and ongoing discrimination and apartheid against Jews by Muslim societies.

Israeli Apartheid?
 
Critics like to use the word Apartheid to demonize Israel.  This in spite of unquestionable historical facts, which have been paved over with relentless propaganda.
 
There is no separation between Israeli Arabs and Israeli Jews.  Israeli Arabs participate fully in Israeli society, except that they don't take part in the defense of the country.

But there is separation between Arabs living in the Palestinian Authority - who used to have Jordanian citizenship until Jordan revoked it - and the rest of Israelis.

GREAT SELFIES OF GERMAN TOURIST WITH A SMILING FRIENDLY ZEBRA POKING ITS HEAD INSIDE HIS CAR

Just horsing around! German tourist snaps hilarious selfies with friendly zebra that poked its head inside car at safari park 


The zebra stuck its entire head inside the 24-year-old student's car after he offered it a carrot


  • Malte Woestefeld snapped the pictures at Zoo Safaripark in Germany 
  • The zebra stuck its tongue out and nuzzled against the surprised visitor
  • Malte said the animal was 'super cuddly' and he offered it a carrot
  • One of the photos has gone viral after the 24-year-old posted it on Reddit

    WHEN OBAMA CALLS FOR DEMOCRACY IN THE MIDEAST, HE DOES NOT MEAN ISRAEL - Obama pressuring the PM to form coalition with the pro-Obama left, although the majority of Israelis voted for non-leftist parties - The State Department routinely interferes and micromanages Israeli politics and policies with disastrous results

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Key points:
    • The natural political partner for the leading party Likud is the right wing Jewish Home party.
    • Likud and Jewish Home agree on almost everything, but the PM is reluctant to invite Jewish Home to join the coalition. 
    • The Obama administration continues to exert relentless pressure on the PM to betray the voters' mandate and invite the near-treasonous fake-Zionist "Zionist Union".
    • The "Zionist Union" made headlines in the last election for working alongside a White House team of advisors who, it is alleged, used US government money and resources to try to influence Israeli voters.
    • Some deemed Zionist Union's collaboration with a foreign government - the US - to be akin to treason.
    • White House interference with Israeli elections was investigated at the time by Congressmen, at the instance of Senator Ted Cruz.
    • US Undersecretary of State Wendy Sherman recently renewed US threats to withdraw US support for Israel at the UN unless it agrees to partition the land for the creation of another Arab terror state.
    • The US administration has shown a pathological obsession with humiliating the Israeli government while demanding the partitioning of Jerusalem, as well as the rest of Israel along the 1967 lines, or "Auschwitz borders".
    • UPDATE - Jewish Home may become part of the coalition after all.  Its chairman, Naftali Bennett, to be in charge of the influential Education Ministry.  (Israeli secular education has been in the hands of leftists for many years.)  Nothing is certain until all the process is finalized.  The PM could still discard Jewish Home in favor of other political partners.  See details further on this page.

    OBAMA PRESSURING NETANYAHU
    IN HIS SELECTION OF COALITION PARTNERS
     
    By Gil Ronen

    A senior source in the Jewish Home (right wing) estimated Tuesday that White House pressure against a nationalist government is the real reason for the delay in the signing of a coalition deal between Likud and the religious Zionist party.

  • Mrs T had her two front legs gnawed off by a rat while she was hibernating
  • Vet saved the tortoise but feared it would not survive without being mobile
  • So her owners glued the wheels from a model aircraft onto her shell
  • Jude Ryder, 56, said: 'It was like fitting her with a turbo charger'

  • Saved: A rat gnawed off the two front legs of Mrs T the tortoise (pictured) while she was hibernating. The 100-year-old tortoise was saved by a vet but feared she would not survive without being mobile

    A 100-year-old tortoise is going twice its normal speed after being fitted with a set of wheels when a rat gnawed off its two front legs.
     
    The tortoise called Mrs T was facing a grim future after the rat attacked her while she was hibernating.
     
    But her owners glued the wheels from a model aircraft onto her shell and Mrs T is said to be enjoying being able to get around much faster than she used to.

    BALTIMORE ON FIRE - Photos - Mayor gives rioters "space to destroy" - Daniel Greenfield on how black community leaders incite violence and exploit it to advance their own interests - Chloe Valdary on the liberal racism of expecting less responsibility from black lawbreakers.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Black leaders and white progressives blame the black community's shortcomings, lawlessness, and violence on white racism. 
     
    However, Africa - which is ruled by blacks - is a hotbed of violence, terror, tribal and religious conflicts, racism, oppression, corruption, poverty, low levels of education and health care, and many other ailments. 
     
    If whites are to blame for American blacks' problems, how can we explain the fact that  societies with a black majority and black governments are so severely dysfunctional?

    Devastating: This is the scene of a fire which burned down a $16 million nursing home which a baptist church spent eight years building

    Key Points on Daniel Greenfield's column
    (read it in full below)
    • If black lives really mattered, then black violence would matter. But that would mean taking responsibility for a broken culture which few leaders in the black community are ready to do.
    • If the black community leaders involved in these protests really cared about black lives, they would be leading marches through the crack houses and gang run territories that take hundreds of black lives in Baltimore every year.
    • They don’t. The protests are just another shakedown letting small-time Sharptons squeeze more money and influence out of the violence even while driving away the few sources of revenue the city still has.
    • The black community is dominated by thoroughly corrupt leaders who exploit violence to advance their own private interests. They’re willing to destroy their own city and community just to cash in.
    • Black leaders are no different than the thugs smashing windows and faces at their protests. They’re just playing the same game at a bigger level.
    • The organizers direct the protests toward police and/or white people to create a confrontation that will radicalize the marchers.  
    • The looters exploit the chaos to smash everything in sight while the media bemoans the “marring” of the peaceful protest. 
    • The protests don’t degrade into violence. They aren’t marred by violence. Violence is the whole point.
    • The police tried to stay out of it giving the protesters and their supporters what they really wanted; the opportunity to commit crimes without being held accountable. 
    • Crime without accountability is the real cause that the protesters are there for. Their violence isn’t a reaction to anything except the permissive atmosphere created by their false accusations of racism.
    • This isn't about racism. Baltimore has a black mayor and police are mostly black. 
    • For black lives to start really mattering, black violence has to matter.
    Police van ablaze: Television images showed mobs of rioters jumping on top of a police car, destroying a taxi and setting two other patrol cars on fire after teenaged crowds ignored calls to disperse and clashed with lines of hundreds of police
     
    In the news:

    During a Saturday briefing, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said her city government “gave those who wished to destroy space to do that,” seemingly approving of the rioters who smashed the city’s police vehicles in the wake of the death of Freddie Gray.
     
    The mayor of Baltimore's words:  I’ve made it very clear that I work with the police, and instructed them to do everything that they could to make sure that the protesters could exercise their right to free speech. It’s a very delicate balancing act because while we tried to make sure they were protected from the cars and the other things that were going on, we gave those who wished to destroy space to do that, as wellAnd we worked very hard to keep that balance and to put ourselves in the best position to deescalate. And that’s what you saw.

    BLACK VIOLENCE MATTERS

    Image result for daniel greenfieldBy Daniel Greenfield
    Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam. He is completing a book on the international challenges America faces in the 21st century.

    Baltimore has the fifth highest big city murder rate in the country. The four cities ahead of it are Detroit, New Orleans, Newark and St. Louis. All these cities have something in common. Not racism, but race.  The killers and the dead are black.
     
    The murder rate in Baltimore stood at 37.4 to 100,000 people. There have already been 63 murders this year. Fifty-six of the victims were black. Of the 16 murders in the last 30 days, 14 of the victims were black.

    No slaughter of animals anywhere is free from cruelty. 
    But the Muslim Halal method is particularly sadistic, as Islam dictates that the animal be fully conscious during the procedure.  The West is now certifying this method as perfectly legal, and Halal meat is now being sold in your supermarket.

    BOOK BITS - William L. Shirer's THE NIGHTMARE YEARS - 1930-1940 - The day in 1936 when French and British cowardice made them miss the last chance to stop Hitler and NAZISM without bloodshed, when Hitler remilitarized the Rhineland.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The Nightmare Years 1930-1940 A book worth re-reading every few years because it holds so many lessons for contemporary politics.  Written in a conversational style, the writer's voice is a delight in contrast to many other heavy volumes on World War II.

    William L. Shirer was a US news correspondent in Berlin during the Nazi years.  He subsequently wrote several highly regarded books on that era.
     
    This Book Bit will focus on two important issues:
     
    1)  The fateful decision made by Britain and France not to stop Hitler's 1936 remilitarization of the Rhineland. 
     
    This reminds us of the West's years of reluctance to stop Iran from developing a nuclear bomb, and the White House severe warnings to Israel not to dare destroy Iran's nuclear sites. 
     
    2)  How the world chose to ignore Hitler's own written plan for the expansion of Germany and the genocide of the Jews and other peoples, while believing in Hitler's speeches where he reassured his adversaries that all he and Germany wanted was "peace".
     
    Reminiscent of today's willful blindness to what Islam really is and pursues - all in black and white on the Koran and the Hadith, and in the documented history of 1300 years of Islamic oppression, enslavement, and conquest - while choosing instead to believe the hoax of Islam as "the religion of peace".

    THE FEMINIST CULTURE ALLOWS WOMEN TO GET AWAY WITH DENIGRATING MEN - The new inequality victimizes boys and men - British author debunks many myths about male privilege - AND IN THE US THE ARMY HUMILIATES SOLDIERS by making them wear red high heel shoes in a demonstration of solidarity with women

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    How did we get to this point where Hillary Clinton, with a disastrous record as Secretary of State, and with disturbing issues in her career prior to her husband reaching the White House, is being regarded as deserving to be president of the United States - just because she is a woman?
     
    Facts show that women in power can be just as incompetent, ruthless, corrupt, and dangerous  as men.   
     
    It is a myth that women's nurturing disposition will make them more compassionate leaders or CEOs.  Any woman who has to jump the necessary hoops to reach an executive position must have  a heart of steel.
     
    Males have a reputation for having an aggressive nature.  They have to.  They are often the defenders of the herd and the family across the animal kingdom.  Nature does not like wimpy, sensitive males, and they don't get to mate very often. 
     
    Hormones make men more prone to solve matters using violence.  But women's violence is hidden.  Women abuse their children and even abuse their spouses.  But whenever they have to face justice, women are turned into victims, and their crimes are blamed on men and society. 
     
    Many accusations of rape and child molestation against men are made up with the intent of destroying  a man's life not with a bullet but with a lie.

    In a dangerous situation it is men who will risk their lives to protect women, even at the cost of their own lives. 

    It is men who build our homes in all kinds of weather.  They fix the plumbing.  They defend the country against enemies. 
     
    The following article is based on a book by British author Peter Lloyd, and presents observations that apply to Britain in particular, but the principles are the same all over the West. 
     
    Women are indeed allowed to get away with the denigration and disempowering of men.  If men were to regard women in similar ways, they would be called misogynist and shunned from polite society, (unless they are Muslims, and in that case we look the other way). 
     
     Feminism' s social destructiveness and hypocrisy
     
  • Men are responsible for many great achievements but getting a raw deal
  • New book claims men have been unfairly undermined by modern feminism
  • Men are doing more, working harder and getting none of the credit, it says 
  • And while Western men are being denigrated, our authorities and feminists look the other way, and even excuse the epidemic of rape of very young girls and women by Muslim men, particularly in the UK and Scandinavia. (See articles at the bottom of this page.)
  • Ridiculed, abused, exploited - the triumph of feminism has made today's men second class citizens, argues a deliciously provocative new book.   And it's time the chaps fought back.


  • The denigration of men

    By Peter Lloyd
     
    In our anxiety to support women’s emancipation — which men agree with, by the way — we have allowed our intellectual ability, our emotional intelligence and our capacity for commitment to be endlessly ridiculed.
     
    Rubbishing the male of the species and everything he stands for is a disturbing  21st century phenomenon
    Men are brilliant. Seriously, we are. We invented philosophy, medicine, architecture, cars, trains, helicopters, submarines and the internet. Not to mention the jet engine, IVF, electricity and modern medicine.
     
    We’ve led all the industrial revolutions and sent rockets into Space. We’ve fought wars with tin hats and bayonets and won them.
     
    The world we live in would be nothing without Alexander Graham Bell, Sigmund Freud, Horatio Nelson, Winston Churchill, William Shakespeare and Albert Einstein.
     
    The geniuses Leonardo da Vinci, Stephen Hawking, Michelangelo, Beethoven, Charles Darwin and Michael Faraday have all contributed immeasurably to our modern lives.
     
    So why is it that, today, there has there never been a worse time to be a man? Rubbishing the male of the species and everything he stands for is a disturbing — and growing — 21st century phenomenon.
     
    It is the fashionable fascism of millions of women — and many, many men, too.
     
    Instead of feeling proud of our achievements, we men are forced to spend our time apologising for them.
     
    When people chide us for not being able to multi-task or use a washing machine we join in the mocking laughter — even though we invented the damned thing in the first place.
