But as the 2020 election draws closer there’s a more urgent lesson in the Pelosi video hoax: Russia doesn’t have a monopoly on disinformation. Fake news is the most egalitarian of fields, where even a hastily produced, low-budget fraud can fool millions if it lands just right. In the end the Speaker of the House didn’t have to look so far to find the people behind her viral hoax. One of them was just a few hours north, in the Bronx.

Before president’s visit, Woody Johnson says every area of UK economy up for discussion
The US will want business access to the NHS in any post-Brexit trade deal, the US ambassador has said, prompting anger from politicians and campaigners before Donald Trump’s state visit to the UK this week.
Woody Johnson, who is a close friend of the US president, said every area of the UK economy would be up for discussion when the two sides brokered a trade deal.
LMAO – what would he now about it? A Boeing exec? Patrick Shanahan said he was confident troops were well prepared despite the halt to large-scale war games in a concession to North Korea.
Big Brother not protecting but will bully whomever it wants to.
The State Department is now requiring nearly all applicants for US visas to submit their social media usernames, previous email addresses and phone numbers, in a move that could affect 15 million travellers.

Classic oxymoron – compulsory meditation – duh
Two Brisbane teachers say meditation is such an invaluable tool for helping kids cope with stress and anxiety that it should be included in the national curriculum.
The US president gives comfort to the far right. The prime minister should speak truth to power
Praising the “very fine people on both sides” when torch-wielding white supremacists and antisemites marched through the streets clashing with anti-racist campaigners. Threatening to veto a ban on the use of rape as a weapon of war. Setting an immigration policy that forcefully separates young children from their parents at the border. The deliberate use of xenophobia, racism and “otherness” as an electoral tactic. Introducing a travel ban to a number of predominately Muslim countries. Lying deliberately and repeatedly to the public.
No, these are not the actions of European dictators of the 1930s and 40s. Nor the military juntas of the 1970s and 80s. I’m not talking about Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong-un. These are the actions of the leader of our closest ally, the president of the United States of America. This is a man who tried to exploit Londoners’ fears following a horrific terrorist attack on our city, amplified the tweets of a British far-right racist group, denounced as fake news robust scientific evidence warning of the dangers of climate change, and is now trying to interfere shamelessly in the Conservative party leadership race by backing Boris Johnson because he believes it would enable him to gain an ally in Number 10 for his divisive agenda.
Nothing to do with food just power and profit and not evn for majority of small farmers! Duh?
