The NRA’s Strange Silence On Their Collusion With Russia

The NRA’s Strange Silence On Their Collusion With Russia:

crooksandliars:

“‘The walls are closing in on the NRA.” From your lips to God’s ears, Shannon Watts.

The NRA has powerful bought-and-paid-for friends in Congress, for now. But they’re about to find out what selling out their country will cost once their membership finds out the full extent of what irresponsible leadership has done.

People like Dana Loesch are in for a reckoning.

With host Joy Reid introducing the segment by noting that NRA spokesperson Dana Loesch was recently revealed to have called Moms Demand Action members “dry-humping whores,” the MSNBC host asked founder Shannon Watts to weigh in on the NRA’s silence since the arrest of Butina.

“Why do you suppose they have been quiet about this unfolding scandal involving them?” Reid asked.

..

Ever since the story broke about Butina, they have been silent,” she continued. “Look, we know that the NRA leadership traveled to Moscow. We know they met with Kremlin officials. We know they hosted an alleged Russian agent at their annual meeting. They need to come clean and they need to talk about it and answer questions.”

“The walls are closing in on the NRA,” she warned. “It’s time to be honest with what their relationship is and not with just with Butina, but with Russia.”

In 1904, the Carnegie Institution established a laboratory complex at Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island that stockpiled millions of index cards on ordinary Americans, as researchers carefully plotted the removal of families, bloodlines and whole peoples. From Cold Spring Harbor, eugenics advocates agitated in the legislatures of America, as well as the nation’s social service agencies and associations.

The Harriman railroad fortune paid local charities, such as the New York Bureau of Industries and Immigration, to seek out Jewish, Italian and other immigrants in New York and other crowded cities and subject them to deportation, trumped up confinement or forced sterilization.

The Rockefeller Foundation helped found the German eugenics program and even funded the program that Josef Mengele worked in before he went to Auschwitz.

The Jewish Nationality Law is the best of Israel

 

The scene of the Arab Knesset members tearing the declaration of the approved law on Jewish national identity of the State of Israel seemed like the shocking surprise of school students who were mad for the result of the exams. Never realizing that writing too much on the exam paper does not mean that you are writing what is required. Writing does not reflect necessary comprehending … So seemed the scene in that mockery instant of another failure.

I am not trying to be sarcastic here, but what is surprising, or better stated what is new?

The PA officials were racing with their condemnation statements: The Law is a racist law!

Seriously?

What is Israel other than a racist existence?

Israel was created to be the home for the Jewish people. All good and okay ( not for us of course) .. well, a sentence from my grandmother passes my mind now: we thought they were coming and leaving!

Israel is a democratic state …for the Jewish people.

That is the best expression I have ever seen about Israel.

It is a democratic state for the jews… Arabs are the conquered species of that war. The only loser in this new law is the Arab who held tight to the tail of Israel and believed that he would get equality based on Justice. This same justice created Israel on the destruction of land and expulsion and massacring of people and an ethnic cleansing that continues until this instant.

Only fools believe that you can build equality through a system that does not see you but an unequal.. a goy… Arabs in the Israeli mentality of statehood are nothing but necessary ( temporarily) “slaves” for the masters that they become.

Is it another model of the Apartheid of SA? Well, it has been evident from the first moment.

Occupation and freedom do not mix. Freedom under injustice cannot exist.

It can only serve as a blurring notion for the fools. Moreover, for those “democratic” regimes who need such acts for propaganda.

In reality, we were always fools to seek justice through a system that existed in our lives and insist on surviving on our remains.

Israel plans a continuous ethnic cleansing that may realize itself at the end in the programmed state in Sinai on the Egyptian land. Sarcastic enough to think, that the JEWISH state of Israel easily gives up on Sinai… The place was Moses supposedly spoke to God!

Going back to the 21st state of the Jewish people, the model of the U.S is, by all means, the easy to adapt the model. In a world of racism, when white is distinguished from black. Where immigrants are treated like thugs, and radical views of fundamentalism are the winning seats on parliaments and governments across the world. Israel is priding itself, and its creating states about its status as a Jewish state only defines reality and put it in perspective. No state solution that includes a one or a two or three. It is just one apartheid state, and that is Israel.. being called Jewish or anything .. APARTHEID is what stands before this state.

Sri Lankan reform has ‘ground to a halt’ with torture used freely – UN

3151.jpg?w=300&q=55&auto=format&usm=12&f

Coalition government has failed on promise to repeal Prevention of Terrorism Act

Sri Lanka’s progress towards reform has “virtually ground to a halt” and brutal torture is used with impunity, the UN concludes in a scathing report on the country’s human rights record.

The report, which comes three years after the country appeared to have turned a corner in its history by electing a new coalition government, is published on Monday following a UN visit to Sri Lanka at the request of the government. “None of the measures so far adopted to fulfil Sri Lanka’s transitional justice commitments are adequate to ensure real progress,” it says.

The NRA’s attempt to deflect blame away from guns for the Parkland shooting just fell apart

The NRA’s attempt to deflect blame away from guns for the Parkland shooting just fell apart:

justinspoliticalcorner:

Cydney Hargis at MMFA: 

National Rifle Association spokesperson Dana Loesch dismissed new findings that a school-based discipline program called Promise was not responsible for the Parkland, FL, school shooting after pushing the allegation for months that the program allowed the shooting to happen.    

Parkland school shooter Nikolas Cruz had been referred to Broward County’s Promise program, an alternative option for students “who have committed a behavioral infraction that would normally lead to a juvenile delinquency arrest” in 2013 after he vandalized a bathroom in an area middle school. Despite claims that referring Cruz to the program contributed to the failures to report his behavior to law enforcement, a commission set up to investigate the mass shooting concluded the program was “irrelevant” to Cruz’s ability to obtain an assault weapon and carry out the massacre.

During the months following the February 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that left 17 people dead and 14 others injured, NRA spokesperson and NRATV host Dana Loesch repeatedly shredded the “Obama-era” Promise program during her show, Relentless. During the May 29 edition of her show, Loesch suggested people should protest outside the house of President Barack Obama’s secretary of education, Arne Duncan, because it was his “Promise program initiative that assisted this murderer.”

Loesch said “the real story” behind the Parkland shooting is Broward County Superintendent Robert Runcie “worrying about the appearance of complying with an Obama-era Promise program” which ultimately “guaranteed that this murderer’s red flags would being completely overlooked” during the June 1 edition of Relentless. Four days later, she insisted Duncan’s “policies that were implemented that coddled this murderer failed” Parkland students.      

One day after the Miami Herald reported the commission’s findings, Loesch did a segment on the commission’s work that discussed the Promise program but ignored the revelation that it was found to have no causal relationship to the shooting.

[…]

During the July 13 edition of NRATV’s Relentless, Loesch referenced a tweet Runcie wrote in which he echoed the commission’s finding and said she questioned “how much” she believes him. She went on to place blame squarely on the superintendent, saying if the findings are true, “wouldn’t that just mean that it was his own personal incompetency then that contributed to this instead of a bad program? I mean, that seems like it’s worse.”

Schiff: Surveillance warrant docs show that Nunes memo ‘misrepresented and distorted these applications’

Schiff: Surveillance warrant docs show that Nunes memo ‘misrepresented and distorted these applications’:

feelingbluepolitics:

“Schiff said Saturday that while the documents show the FBI’s “legitimate concern” about Page, he said the materials should not have been released during a pending investigation.

“These national security considerations were cast aside by President Trump, whose decision to declassify the Nunes Memo — which misrepresented and distorted these applications — over the fervent opposition of the Department of Justice, was nakedly political and self-interested, and designed to  to interfere with the Special Counsel’s investigation,” the lawmaker said.”

First, the yarn didn’t look like anything she’d seen in years of examining Norse fibres. Second, why would the people of the Arctic — highly skilled clothesmakers — need to learn such a basic technique from anyone else?

“The idea that you would have to learn to spin something from another culture was a bit ludicrous,” she said. “It’s a pretty intuitive thing to do.”

Why mobile phones are NOT a health hazard

If phones are linked to cancer, we’d expect to see a marked uptick in cancer with uptake. Yet we do not. American mobile phone penetration increased from almost nothing in 1992 to practically 100% by 2008 and there is zero indication glioma rates have increased, a finding replicated by numerous other studies.

An article we published last week about links between mobiles and cancer proved highly controversial. Here a cancer expert and physicist argues that it misrepresented the research and that fears are ill-founded

• Last week’s article: The inconvenient truth about cancer and mobile phones

Last week the Observer published an article by Mark Hertsgaard and Mark Dowie on a disturbing topic – the idea that telecoms giants might collude to suppress evidence that wireless technology causes cancer. The feature was well written, ostensibly well researched, and deeply concerning. Its powerful narrative tapped into rich themes; our deep-seated fears about cancer, corporate greed, and technology’s potentially noxious influence on our health. It spread rapidly across social media – facilitated by the very object on which it cast doubt.

Yet as enthralling as Hertsgaard and Dowie’s narrative might be, it is strewn with rudimentary errors and dubious inferences. As a physicist working in cancer research, I found the authors’ penchant for amplifying claims far beyond that which the evidence allows troubling. And as a scientist deeply invested in public understanding of science, I’ve seen first-hand the damage that scaremongering can do to societal health. While it is tempting to rage into the void, perhaps this episode can serve as a case study in how public understanding of science can be mangled, and what warning signs we might look out for.
