Obvious CIA signature behind current “fake news” fad

cultural-cold-war

It is well documented that the CIA heavily funded mainstream “American culture” throughout the 60s, 70s and 80s.

Billions, if not hundreds of billions of dollars have been taken from taxpayers to subsidize “mainstream” (i.e., pro-government) news and entertainment content.

Now, after the pro-government establishment was defeated in the 2016 elections, the government newspapers have been filled with false, nonsensical stories about how alternative news sources promote “false news” funded by the Russians.

Also, there is a movement among the pro-government “social media” outlets to ban alternative, “extremist” (meaning non-government-supporting) content. See here.

Montana “liberal” governor proposes cutting 27 state troopers; Montana “conservatives” oppose

confused

As Montana’s Democratic governor prepares to submit a budget to the Legislature, he is proposing small cuts to the Montana Highway Patrol, including a proposal to lay off 27 troopers.

The troopers are clearly unnecessary. Montana’s roadways are safer than ever, and Montana vehicles are traveling more miles more safely than ever before.

Now the State’s Republican leadership–who endlessly campaign (and get elected) upon promises to “limit government”–are seeking to block the cuts.

Thailand authorities arrest man for ‘sharing’ a news story about the king on Facebook

change4th_dees

Every government ultimately comes for all money, all property, all freedom, and to kill all who resist.

Now a man has been jailed in Thailand merely for ‘sharing’ a news story about the Thai king. The news story contained information about the king’s prior divorces. See here.

Government schools have underperformed despite spending massively on administration

untitled

The graph above shows that government spending on “education” has increased massively while all outcomes have been flat.

If this model were implemented by the private sector, everyone associated would be fired and the system would declare bankruptcy.

Even worse, the spending has been directed disproportionately toward “administration” rather than actual instructors. See here.

U.S. government agencies have been caught repeatedly altering arctic sea ice records

horror1

Once again, the courageous data analyst Tony Heller has caught U.S. government agencies altering ice history records to make the past seem colder than it was measured (and thereby make the present seem warmer in comparison).

Now, Heller and others have uncovered previous government reports showing arctic ice levels growing substantially in the 1970s. More recent government reports (often generated by the same agencies) have erased this record of sea ice growth in the 1970s–so that the government can promote its theory of manmade-global-warming-by-carbon-dioxide (which in turn, boosts the government’s demands for more power and money to ‘solve’ the alleged problem).

Trump has selected Myron Ebell, a gifted skeptical scientist, to run the EPA

myron

Government supporting journalists and professors are gnashing their teeth regarding Donald Trump’s selection of Myron Ebell as head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Ebell is a gifted scholar of climate science. Here he is debating a pro-government scientist about the 2008 Climategate emails.

Here he is speaking about the inconsistencies between government temperature models and actual temperatures,–and the insidious nature of the UN’s various climate agreements.

January 13-16, 2017: Join us for ‘mountain climbing inside the Grand Canyon’

grand-canyon

“Lose 15 pounds in 3 days hiking and climbing in the Grand Canyon!”

January 13-16, 2017 is a three-day weekend celebrating Martin Luther King.

For anyone planning on being in the greater Nevada/Utah/Arizona region in January, Lysander Spooner University will embark on a one-of-a-kind field trip in honor of Dr. King.

Few people are aware that there are ‘mountains’ inside the Grand Canyon. The mountains are rarely explored or climbed.

We will meet Friday evening, January 13 in the lobby and dining area of the El Tovar Hotel on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Over the next days we will journey into the abyss of the Grand Canyon and try to bag as many internal peaks as we can.

Everyone is welcome. The event is free!* Instruction on climbing and survival will be offered along the way.

Prepare for a winter outing as the Rim is above 8,000 feet.

Call Roger Roots at 406 * 224 * 3105 for details.

* There are costs, such as entry fees, food, gear, etc. (Bring your own!) We are planning on day-hikes and returning to the Rim each evening. Lodging is on you!

The reality of socialism: Fidel Castro lived in constant luxury as his subjects starved

silenced

Socialist politicians promise equality and free stuff but deliver impoverishment and tyranny.

Here is a New York Post article about the luxurious life of Cuban President Fidel Castro.

Castro lived a life of absolute luxury. He had dozens of mistresses and kept a dozen private palaces for himself. He even had pet dolphins.

Virtually anyone who offended or threatened Castro was executed. Castro’s victims number in the thousands.

Dissidents were jailed for as little as handing out books on democracy. “Even his closest aides faced execution if it suited [Castro’s] agenda.”

Even Castro’s daughter fled Cuba for her safety.

While his suffering subjects starved on the streets and lived like savages, Castro had access to the finest food and wine.

Washington Post’s “fake news” smear exposed as McCarthyite propaganda

pamphleteer

Days ago the Washington Post published (and energetically advertised) a “news story” alleging that the 2016 Trump election was produced by “hundreds” of “fake news” stories created by Russian propagandists. (Of course, the Washington Post itself has been identified as a government CIA propaganda mouthpiece by numerous whistleblowers.) (Senate hearing in the ’70s and ’80s showed that Post “reporters” have secretly received millions of dollars from U.S. government sources in exchange for pro-government news reporting.)

The November 2016 Washington Post story was widely circulated. Hundreds of other newspapers repeated the claims.

At the heart of the Post’s “reporting” was an appeal to authority: a group of “foreign policy experts” calling themselves “PropOrNot” who remain anonymous (but who clearly favored Hillary in the election).

Now the intrepid Glenn Greenwald has rebutted the Post story in a path-breaking article:

According to Greenwald, the Post claimed that “Basically, everyone who isn’t comfortably within the centrist Hillary-Clinton/Jeb-Bush spectrum is guilty” of spreading Russian propaganda.

The group eschews alternative media outlets like these and instead recommends that readers rely solely on establishment-friendly publications like NPR, the BBC, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Buzzfeed and VICE. That is because a big part of the group’s definition for “Russian propaganda outlet” is criticizing U.S. foreign policy.

“What happened here is the essence of fake news,” according to Greenwald. imagesU01CBR45
