Buffy Sainte Marie – “Disinformation” – YouTube

 

Coincidence and likely stories They dog your trail like a pack of lies They whine at night when the lights are out You toss and turn, you pitch and roll Disinformation, you spin it like a silkworm Just when I need another point of view Here you come from nowhere, from over the ways I stand amazed, I see your greatest hits They blow back down the chimney into everyone’s eyes Creative thinking in the first degree You’re a three-way mirror of a one-way world It’s a perverse company you work for They build the past, it just can’t last It’s obsolete by design They send you out rerouting history To make the same old mistakes in a brand new way Come out from under cover Ollie Ollie in free Come out, come out wherever you are And virgin places don’t mean a thing To people who never bring their hearts along And fools like them never fall at all They’re tough as sin, let nobody in They turn and spin your wheels and nobody wins Coincidence and likely stories They dog your trail like a pack of lies They whine at night when the lights are out You toss and turn, you pitch and roll Disinformation, you spin it like a silkworm

Trump Ally Farage BUSTED at Secret Meeting with Wikileaks’ Assange, White House Won’t Comment #TraitorTrump, #LoserTrump

Trump, Farage, Mercer, And Assange Sittin’ In A Tree?

Donald Trump’s mate Nigel Farage visited the Ecuadorian embassy in London, Thursday, Buzzfeed reported, publishing a photograph of the United Kingdom Independent Party politician leaving the building. Buzzfeed reporter Marie Le Conte apparently surprised Farage as he exited the embassy from what was supposed to be a secret meeting. Le Conte asked Farage why he had visited the Ecuadorian embassy where Wikileaks curator Julian Assange has dodged extradition for sexual assault charges in Sweden since 2012. Farage responded that “he couldn’t remember” what he had been doing in the building that he was exiting after being there for 40 minutes. So Farage’s trip to the embassy where a self-made pro-Russian international saboteur is hiding was like when you open the refrigerator and stare at all your food asking yourself why you opened the fridge.

Republican lawmaker says cancer patients can go to the ER for health care – Shareblue

Like many Republicans, DeSantis either does not know or does not care that 73 percent of Medicaid recipients do, in fact, work, or that the whole point of medical insurance is that even “able-bodied” people like Tiffany Koehler are only “able-bodied” until they are not.Neither the current GOP plan nor the potentially harsher options waiting in the wings recognize the fundamental fact that under repeal, millions of Americans will lose insurance — a life or death prospect for thousands of people.

E.P.A. Head Scott Pruitt Falsely Asserts That Carbon Dioxide Is Not A Primary Cause Of Climate Change: Gothamist – when your children and grandchildren gasp for air, make sure they gasp Pruitt You!

Environmental Protection Agency head Scott Pruitt said that there needs to be more debate about whether carbon dioxide is a primary driver of global warming and that “I would not agree that it’s a primary contributor to the global warming that we see.”

Humans of New York

“Rio was the biggest slave port in world history. Two million slaves arrived in this city—five times more than the entire American South. Favelas were built because the government didn’t want to provide basic services to the descendants of slaves. So these descendants were forced to build their own communities. Favelas are unregulated. They’re poorly serviced. But don’t call them ‘slums.’ That’s a lazy translation and it’s unfair to the people who live here. The word ‘slum’ implies that all favelas are the same. The word ‘slum’ ignores 120 years of improvement that these residents have made to their communities. And the word ‘slum’ makes it easier to ignore these communities. That’s exactly what the government wants. Because if favelas aren’t viewed as real neighborhoods, then their residents don’t deserve real services. So please don’t use the word ‘slum.’ Because it only helps to encourage that narrative.”(Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)

China grants Trump preliminary approval for 38 trademarks, including one for escort services: Shanghaiist “TraitorTrump” who’s he working for US or just himself?

After being awarded the rights to a 10-year “Trump” trademark for building construction services in China last month, the commander in chief has now been given the go ahead on 38 more trademark requests, the Associated Press reports. The trademark requests are for businesses like hotels, insurance, security, and, most intriguingly, escort services (more on that later).They consist of a sizable chunk of the Chinese trademark applications that Trump’s lawyers filed during his presidential campaign. As long as no one objects to them, they will be formally rubber-stamped in 90 days.Trump has been embroiled in trademark disputes with Chinese companies for more than a decade, finding it difficult to defend his precious surname in China where loose copyright laws mean that trademarks are essentially “first come, first serve.” However, winning the US presidential election seems to have granted Trump an extra degree of protection in the murky field of Chinese trademark law.

Donald and Ivanka Trump’s phony Baku Azerbaijan hotel was front for Iranian money laundering | 3CHICSPOLITICO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqMS4eJCjcY

 

the hotel deal had been struck with Ziya Mammadov, the corrupt Transportation Minister of Azerbaijan, who has a history of arranging shady real estate projects as money laundering fronts. Mammadov and his family have deep financial connections to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, making it almost certain that the Trumps were knowingly and illegally doing business with Iran. It also seems likely that Trump shuttered the project upon taking office in the hope it wouldn’t be investigated.

Ben Carson incorrectly suggests African slaves were ‘immigrants’ to US | US news | The Guardian “No words to explain his views or words.” #LoserTrump, #SillyTrump, #DumpsterTrump

Enslaved Africans were, of course, not immigrants, and were transported in the cramped, disease-infested holds of ships while shackled stationary as property of “new world” and European corporations. The enslaved had virtually no knowledge of where they were being taken, and less than 10% of the tens of millions of Africans transported wound up on the shores of the US, with a majority landing in South America and the Caribbean. Carson earned instant and biting ridicule for his remarks, with many online poking fun at the former neurosurgeon.

Police ‘told me to leave’ Rinkeby: US journalist Tim Pool – The Local – Not a journalist but a fake news producer!

Describing himself as a “conflict and crisis journalist”, Pool has been reporting in Sweden since last week. His visit included a trip to Malmö partially funded by Paul Joseph Watson, editor of conspiracy theory website Infowars, who promised to pay for a trip to the city for any journalist who claimed it was safe.
