The small-scale alternative media refuses to yield and insists on publishing their own stories, and they have the advantage of the Internet’s social media and the US mainstream media’s nonstop blunders. The Russian government is threatening a proportional response if the US corporate-government bans, conducts extensive surveillance, or greatly restricts the activity of Russian media that operates inside the US: NGO publishes names of “2,300+ RT guests, labels them ‘useful idiots who undermine Western democracy’” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edmiws2_3P0).
For example, the US mainstream media is very pro-Zionist or very supportive of sovereignty for Jewish supremacists (e.g., sovereignty of Israel and its diaspora are more important than the sovereignty of any gentile community), but most of the world is not. The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recognizes Palestine as some type of community that deserves some rights, thus, the US government and Israel accused UNESCO of being horribly unfair toward Israel. The US corporate-government and Israel insist Israel has every right to wipe Palestine off the map, because Palestine does not actually exist. Palestine is actually an evil imagination of Nazis, bigots, racists, ignoramuses, criminals, terrorists, Islamic extremists, etc. Because UNESCO gave a modicum of respect to Palestine, the US government decided to leave and punish UNESCO:
* “US quits UNESCO, accuses organization of 'anti-Israel' bias” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kmWTU-BJ-Y)
* “Trump puts ‘Israel first’ agenda over American interests” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCmzN0VqGpk)
* Israel and its Zionist supporters around the world insist Israel is a world leader of justice and freedom, but Israel continues to use a pretext of anti-terrorism to justify the oppression of Palestine: “RT provider shut down amid Israeli raids & closure of Palestinian media” (https://www.rt.com/news/407055-israel-raids-palestinian-media/).
Notice how this politically incorrect news was reported by Russia Today (RT), which is why RT is being targeted by the US corporate-government for surveillance and censorship (and probably espionage). According to the US corporate-government, the commoners must be brainwashed by its cartel, which consists of ABCNNBCBS, Faux News, New York Slimes, BBC (British Boinking Children), AP (Associated Propagandists), Reuters’ rumors, Hollyweirdo agitprop, Facebook the CIA Facehugger, “Be secretly and hypocritically evil” Google, etc. If you disobey, then you will lose funding, better loans, debt forgiveness, and investments from the Federal Reserve central bank and its associated corporations. This attempt to control people’s beliefs and lifestyle is why the US corporate-government wants to expand its cartels all over the world. Obey, and you will be rewarded. Disobey, and you will be sanctioned and possibly face further punishments. We’re suppose to be this centralized economic system is a free market or capitalism.
Here is the sanitized news report by France24.com news: “US, Israel withdraw from ‘biased’ UNESCO” (http://www.france24.com/en/20171012-us-withdraws-unesco-amid-palestinian-tensions). This news article is typical of Zionist Western propaganda, which promotes certain perspectives, demotes specific viewpoints, and cherry-picks partial truths with lies. These techniques are all designed to brainwash people into thinking there are only one legitimate option: vote for the Zionist liberal Democrat Party or vote for the Zionist Christian Republican Party, because (relative) majority tyranny is the only good government.
Project Veritas sent at least one undercover reporter to expose biases and secret manipulations by the New York Times and YouTube.com to promote certain news stories and demote other news reports: “Media revelations: NYT editor admits YouTube content manipulations” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwNYyRBGKj0).
Harvey Weinstein (Jewish guy) used his top leadership position in Zionist liberal Hollyweirdo to buy the loyalty of many journalists and media corporations, thus, Harvey Weinstein got away with multiple decades of sexual harassment against many women and sexual assault against at leat 4 women: “Explosive Weinstein stories expose mogul's power over media” (https://www.local10.com/entertainment/explosive-weinstein-stories-expose-moguls-power-over-media). As expected, Harvey Weinstein’s Satanic morality was criticized by the Zionist Christian Repubican Party and its associates, but they are being hypocrites. Fox News is a strong supporter of the Zionist Christian Republican Party, and Faux News also had many years of sexual harassment problems that are were censored, misreported, and underreported.
The corruption runs deep. BBC spent many years promoting Jimmy Savile as a cool role-model and entertainment presenter for children and young adults, but, Jimmy Savile was actually part of a pedophile network that served Britain’s wealthy and upper class. At the same time, BBC boasted it was world leader of a free and factual press. These double standards and many other problems are major blows to the credibility of the US mainstream-media cartel and its international partners.
The US mainstream media claims it is the international leader of a free press, but the US mainstream media restricts Jesse Ventura’s access, because Jesse Ventura is very independent minded. Jesse Ventura has been a Vietnam War veteran, wrestler, actor, and governor. He got his own show on Russia Today: “WATJ 5: Paid Patriotism, the NFL & Dennis Kucinich” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMI-5vcYFy8). Russia Today also provided a platform for rock-and-roll legend Roger Waters who opposes Israel’s genocide and apartheid against Palestine: “EXCLUSIVE: ‘We’re living in 1984’ - Roger Waters” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NkJcbZ3Ph9Q). In the US, criticizing or rejecting Israel is illegal. The exact details depend on the state and city: “Texas City Tells People No Hurricane Harvey Aid Unless They Promise Not to Boycott Israel” (https://www.globalresearch.ca/texas-city-tells-people-no-hurricane-harvey-aid-unless-they-promise-not-to-boycott-israel/5614261). This mandatory pro-Israel regulation should be a violation of the US Constitution’s First Amendment, but rule by law is easier said than done.
The US mainstream media and its global partners dislike alternative media, because alternative media shows perspectives that challenge the moral pretexts and allegedly factual news of the US corporate-government and its associates.
Russia Today repeatedly showed the double-standards of NATO, which claims to be the world’s top defender of freedom and justice. For example, Spain is a member of NATO, and Spain’s central government used legal orders, police threats, police violence, economic sanctions, and imprisonment to suppress the Catalan independence movement. Catalan tried to use democracy to legitimize its secession, and NATO claims to be the international leader of democracy, because majority tyranny is the best suppose to be the best form of government, but Spain’s central government continues to suppress Catalan’s elections for secession: “‘First high-level political prisoners over referendum’: Catalan leaders jailed for possible sedition” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcjVbs6pSH0).
Many Catalan denizens were still able to vote, and the vast majority voted for independence, but this democratic choice was rejected by Spain’s central government. Thus, the Catalan denizens continue to protest against Spain’s central government. Here is a recent protest: “Catalonia pro-independence protesters march in Barcelona as movement leaders arrested” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxIkMQWZOBg). Notice how NATO does not provide military support to the Catalan separatists, but NATO provides military support to the Libyan terrorists, Syrian terrorists, Ukraine junta, and other proxy rebels. NATO's unofficial motto: Join us or die. Then comes the blowback (e.g., incompatible immigration of refugees and the poor, terrorism, insurrection, overpopulation plus unsustainable consumption and pollution, excessive military budgets, inadequate investments in peaceful technology, and more extreme and unstable politics).
In addition, Russia Today showcases the disastrous anti-terrorism of the Zionist US empire: “US troops allegedly fire at Afghan schoolchildren throwing stones at convoy” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0rx2vEySBA). The empire of the Zionist US kleptocracy has conducted a war against Islamic terrorism for multiple decades, but Islamic terrorism has increased. US imperialism creates lots of indignation that radicalizes into terrorism or rebellion. In addition, US imperialism supports proxy rebels and proxy regimes around the world, but today’s proxy rebels easily become tomorrow’s terrorists, and proxy regimes tend to be oppressive, which motivates rebels into becoming terrorists. Regarding the aforementioned news video, because Russia Today provides viewpoints that have been censored, slandered, understated, and misreported by the US mainstream media, Russia Today has been quickly gaining viewers, even though Russia Today’s budget is many times smaller than the US mainstream media (e.g., ABCNNBCBS, New York Slimes, Associated Propagandists, Reuters’ rumors, Faux News, and BBC (British Boinking Children)).
The US mainstream media is merely a propaganda cartel for the US oligarchy that’s obsessed with accumulating wealth and power for as long as possible, but, throughout history, any system eventually becomes outdated. Extinction or evolution are the only constants, and they are dynamic constants, not static constants. Thus, the US mainstream media has low approval ratings across America and throughout an increasing number of nations worldwide.
Trump and his supporters insist Trump is a radically new president, but he still floods the genocidal and apartheid state of Israel with a full range of direct, indirect, and qualitatively superior welfare, despite the fact that Israel is a very unpopular nation like North Korea and Iran. Israel satisfies the self-righteous claims of the liberal Democrat Party, the Biblical superstitions of the Zionist Christian Republican Party, and the mythological self-worship of Zionist Jews. Israel is also a major center of kickbacks for the US oligarchy. The US oligarchy sends lots of welfare to Israel, and Israel provides donations, investments, revolving doors, insider deals, lucrative speaking tours, vacations, and other kickbacks to the US oligarchy.
Trump is suppose to be master of politically incorrect facts, but he continues to support Saudi Arabia and antagonize Iran, despite the fact that Saudi Arabia is much more religiously extreme or medieval than Iran. Iran complied with international agreements regarding Iran’s nuclear technology, but the Trump presidency still slanders and uses every opportunity to punish Iran: “Pro-Israel billionaires dictate Trump’s aggressive Iran policy” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfZkHR6GztU).
The plutocracy and autocracy is America’s real government (a.k.a., the deep state), and their morality is based on self-serving double-standards that’s increasingly outdated and stubbornly in denial due to delusions of grandeur. Thus, Saudi Arabia is more backward, more extremist in its Islamic interpretation, and more bloodthirsty than Iran, but the US corporate-government pretends Saudi Arabia is a necessary evil, and Iran is huge threat that must be eliminated. The truth is that the Saudi regime uses its vast oil and gas reserves to support the US petrodollar’s global scams (inflation tax, cartels, sanctions, etc), but Iran values its economic sovereignty, cultural autonomy, and national independent.
Check out how the Reuters news agency misreported on the Saudi regime’s war crimes in Yemen: “In blocking arms to Yemen, Saudi Arabia squeezes a starving population” (https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/yemen-saudi-blockade/). The article said Saudi Arabia and its allies (satellite Middle Eastern states and Western nations) support the Saudi regime’s sanction against Yemen, because they want to block supplies from reaching illegal rebels who are fighting against the internationally recognized government. The problem with this argument is that NATO, Saudi Arabia and its nearby nations, and Israel support the terrorist-rebels in Syria (who came from various nations), even though the Syrian government is accepted by most nations’ governments worldwide. A similar argument could be said about the previous Ukraine government and the Gaddafi regime in Libya.
The Reuters article admitted the Saudi regime’s sanction of Yemen resulted in the starvation of millions of people in Yemen. Construction materials, medication, fuel, and other civilian supplies are also being denied entry into Yemen. Thus, Yemen is suffering widespread poverty plus hygiene and sanitation crises, such as a cholera outbreaks. The Reuters article claimed this brutal sanction toward innocent bystanders is necessary to deny supplies to Yemen’s illegal and/or dangerous rebels/terrorists. Reuters conveniently forgot to mention that international law forbids collective punishments and mass killings. In addition, NATO, Saudi Arabia, and Israel insisted the Assad regime must be overthrown by rebel terrorists, because the Assad regime kills, injures, and oppresses too many innocent bystanders when the Assad regime targets rebels/terrorists. In other words, Reuters is cherry-picking laws and moral concepts in order to (a) hypocritically justify war crimes by Saudi Arabia, NATO, and Israel, and (b) demonize independent governments in Syria, the former Libya, the former Ukraine, Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea.
The Reuters article also tried to justify the Saudi regime’s war crimes in Yemen by stating the Yemeni rebels are backed by the threatening regime in Iran, which is seeking extremely controversial nuclear technology. As usual, the Reuters article conveniently leaves out the fact that NATO secretly helped Israel acquire nuclear weapons, even though NATO members agreed to various international laws to prevent the proliferation of nukes. The Reuters article also censored Israel’s decades-long apartheid and genocide of Palestine, which is unpopular around the world, but Israel is suppose to be a regional champion of majority tyranny and human rights. The Reuters article also omitted how Saudi Arabia’s fighter jets, attack jets, satellite navigation and surveillance, missiles, tanks, artillery, warships, maintenance and repair supplies, and military training mostly come from NATO members. However, NATO will not sanction military equipment from Saudi Arabia, because the Saudi regime uses its massive oil and gas reserves to support the US petrodollar’s global scams (inflation tax, cartels, sanctions, etc).
Most importantly, Yemen’s modern history is one of contention. Yemen’s commoners have spent decades under the rule of European global colonialism, Saudi Arabia’s regional imperialism, and proxy regimes that have outdated ideas about politics, religion and philosophy, economics, and technology. The Saudi regime’s war in Yemen is NOT about anti-terrorism, defeating dangerous influence from Iran, enforcing international justice, or other moral pretexts. The war is really about cartels controlling global resources and labor, thus, an elite few could have a lot more wealth and power than everyone else.
The problem with today’s centralized economics is that it is failing to properly prevent or reverse overpopulation, consumerism gone wild, accumulation of pollution and waste, disputes and conflicts arising from diverse cultures, wasteful decadence by the ruling classes, hypocritical legal systems that favor the more wealthy and/or more socially connected, etc. Modern centralized economics is based on selling propaganda, agitprop, sales hype, marketing scams, and other types of lies to trick the masses into obeying the established systems.
Anyhow, the previously mentioned Reuters article is a good example of propaganda. Historically, the world typically has 3 types of propaganda: (1) censorship to keep people ignorant and easily manipulated, (2) promotion of certain perspectives and demotion of other viewpoints to misinform the people, and (3) cherry-picked partial truths mixed with lies to mislead the people. Propaganda could also be based on complete lies, but this type of propaganda tends to be ineffective. Some fraction of truth is needed to make the deception plausible. All propaganda types are based on the distortion of reality or training people to obey the oligarchy. China mostly relies on propaganda type 1. The US mostly relies on propaganda types 2 and 3, which is fitting, because a nation filled with super-sized junk food is also flooded with glamorized junk news and poisoned with overrated junk medication. Russia used to rely on propaganda type 1, but now depends on propaganda type 2 and 3. You could piece together various parts of propaganda to gain a more realistic understanding of the entire story, but you need to critically analyze the news with scientific standards: focus on the tangible evidence, be vigilant against deceptive editing and unproven opinions, reject any analysis that jumps to conclusions, ensure the details are actually connected to each other in order, remember to also look at the overall big picture and not get lost in the details, understand that incomplete proof depends on probability analysis, and look for consistently reliable cause-and-effect.
These aforementioned events are all very important modern dynamics, but President Trump wants us to believe the peaceful protests by black pro-athletes are major threats to the nation, even though the US Constitution permits peaceful protests for all persons. Trump downplayed the recent Las Vegas mass shooting, because it did not fit his narrative of blaming non-white people for America’s problems, and this hypocritical mentality is why he initially blamed Puerto Rico for suffering a devastating hurricane, but he consistently supported Texas for suffering a disastrous hurricane. He insists on justifying Israel’s and Saudi Arabia’s crimes against humanity, but these foreign policies will greatly restrict his options to be significantly different from the establishment, and the same could be said about his perpetuation of historical conflicts with Iran and North Korea. He constantly whines about fake news, while peddling faker news. He pretends the Federal Reserve is not a secretive central bank, and, yet, he claims to be promote revolutionary economics. The Trump movement is a desperate & clumsy attempt at restoring increasingly outdated systems.
Starting on 2017 Oct 17, Microsoft will release a new update for Windows 10. The update is called the Fluent Design, and it will make Windows 10 look like its predecessor Windows 7. The Fluent Design brings back the translucent or transparent appearance: “Microsoft shares video showing off Windows 10's beautiful new Fluent Design System” (https://www.notebookcheck.net/Microsoft-shares-video-showing-off-Windows-10-s-beautiful-new-Fluent-Design-System.258322.0.html). Microsoft has been unable to develop a good idea by itself. Microsoft still depends on hypocritically copying other people’s and other organizations’ ideas.
Microsoft started off by stealing ideas from various people and organizations, and Microsoft suffered zero to minimal punishments for this thievery. Then Microsoft worked with the US government to create an OS monopoly for laptops and desktops. Once Microsoft became the establishment, Microsoft used lots of frivolous lawsuits and hypocritical lawsuits to protect its invention rights. Before and after Windows 10 debuted, Microsoft said Windows 10 would be a lot faster, more user friendly, and more stable than Windows 7 in regard to general applications and video games. However, this is false. I recently had to disable a Windows service, because it was excessively hogging my RAM and hard drive access, and other people made the same complaints on the Internet. The overall speed and stability of Windows 10 seems very similar to Windows 7's capabilities. Windows 10 interface uses a simplistic design and oversized icons that are designed for smartphones and tablets, but Windows 10 is mostly used on larger screens with laptops and desktops. According to Snowden's leaks, Microsoft conspires with the US govenrment to spy on everyone. Based on various reports, Windows 10 will be necessary for future laptops and desktops, because Microsoft worked with Intel and AMD to make Windows 10 the required OS for modern and future CPUs from Intel and AMD. These are the actions of a cartel, which should be illegal under the US Constitution.
I have been experimenting with various Internet browsers for the past few weeks: Firefox (which was my preference for many years), Opera, Chrome, Maxthon, etc. I like Firefox a lot, because it still offers the side bookmarks or vertically organized bookmarks that are constantly displayed. This allows fast and easy creation and organization of bookmarks. However, I am greatly frustrated with Firefox, because it constantly suffers lag. A clean installation or getting rid of extensions does not completely solve the lag. Throughout years of usage, I have noticed that Firefox will release a sluggish update every once and awhile. Then I must wait for the next update to fix the lag. Anyhow, I’m sick and tired of this problem. Thus, I have used the past few weeks to experiment with various Internet browsers.
Opera, Chrome, and Maxthon are generally the better alternatives in terms of speed, stability, and features. All three are much faster than Firefox. All 3 lack the well-designed side bookmarks of Firefox. All 3 offer extensions for side bookmarks, but all extensions have clunky designs or various problems with fast and easy usage. All three Internet browsers are based on a horizontally oriented bookmarks bar. In my opinion, Maxthon has the best bookmarks bar. The bookmark bar’s font size packs in lots of websites on multiple columns with fast scrolling. Maxthon also offers 2 options to organize the bookmarks: the bookmarks bar or the MaxNote system. The bookmarks bar is the typical organization, and MaxNote allows you to create lots of notes about each saved website. In my opinion, MaxNote is excessive. Maxthon Internet browser also needs a lot more hot keys for the options that are opened with the mouse’s right click.
