Breaking News: New Intelligence Shows Institutional Bias In Syria Towards Bashar al-Assad And Brings Up Questions As To The Legitimacy Of His Election Win

Despite claims of being "free, fair, and transparent", new intelligence has come to light showing that the 2014 Syrian election which Bashar al-Assad won had many issues. One bit of information obtained by US intelligence agencies shows that his party heavily favored him in the primary so that his much less hawkish Baathist competitor would not have a chance at defeating him. New intelligence also points to collusion between the Syrian media and Bashar al-Assad. For instance, a member at the largest Syrian news network, SANA, fed him questions that were to be asked at the debate. Other news agencies as well as major Syrian corporations also had extremely close relations with al-Assad. In fact, some of al-Assad's speeches to corporations have been uncovered, where he talks of colluding with them and having to have a public position (for Syrian commoners) and a private position (which is his true position that favors those he colludes with). Needless to say, all of this information being released may have a negative impact on the way Syrians perceive him. The Assad regime is currently considering actions to hurt the United States over their part in the leaking of these documents that hurt his legitimacy. However, the United States government (which has not admitted to the release of information) says rightly that the citizens of Syria need to know the truth about their leader, and that the aggression against the United States is just an empty gesture that Assad hopes will take the minds of his citizens off of the real problem, namely the accusations against him that have been proven to be true. Oh... Hold on a second! I meant Hillary Clinton, not Bashar al-Assad! I think I got my countries and elections confused! Well, I guess we've seen what those in power care about. Rather than apologizing for their shenanigans behind the veil of secrecy up to and including their attempted (and successful with Bernie) fixing of the election and collusion with others in doing it, they are more interested in blaming the whistleblower who let the American people know the truth. This is nothing new, as Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, and yes, Julian Assange will easily attest to...but it is particularly astonishing that they will go so far as blaming others for rigging the election when in fact it was they who were rigging the election the whole time. They merely got found out, so you can say that the election got un-rigged.

Sokal-style hoaxes work for religious postmodernists, but (post) modernism is the real hoax Modernism in art and architecture, and postmodernism in philosophy are, like religion, insults to human intelligence.  Unfortunately, many people fall for their hollow propaganda. The "Sokal Affair" was a hoax whereby a man called Alan Sokal submitted a postmodern-sounding article to a postmodern journal.  It turns out that the English you hear isn't just unintelligible to you, but it's unintelligible to the people at the journal as well.  But if it's unintelligible, it must be profound, right?  The journal quickly accepted it, not knowing that it was all fake B.S.  They then got embarrassed when they were told that it was pompous-sounding drivel. Religion has done the same thing.  When people can't understand something, they generally think it's much more profound than if they can understand it.  If a priest speaks Latin, wears some weird costume, and sp...

The Islamic State has beheaded at least 21 Christians in Libya.

Whenever a Muslim brings up the Crusades, I have to laugh to myself.  Christians have done horrible things, including in later crusades against Constantinople and the Cathars in particular.  However, get this.  The Islamic State militants said, "Safety for you crusaders is something you can only wish for" right before butchering Egyptian Christians. It seems that many Muslims haven't taken a single history class.  If they had, they would have known that Christians existed in Egypt for 400 years before Islam.  (Heck, they were even around to murder Hypatia, perhaps the last major ancient female philosopher.)  It was the Muslims who were the "Crusaders"...yet almost nobody will admit to this.  Muslims instigated a merciless war against Christian Egyptians until they were overcome and under Islamic domination.  They did this to people across the world, from Spain to India...massacring any who resisted.  They tried to destroy the Byzaintine Em...

Fighting Klanophobia I'm always hurt when I see bigots offend groups of people.  All too often, people paint a group, "the other" with a broad brush and stereotype them as being evil, even though the crimes that are associated with them are only committed by a tiny minority fringe element within the larger group. Such is the case with the Ku Klux Klan.  Most people don't like to associate with them.  There is a lot of prejudice directed towards that group, particularly among blacks and Jews, but this hate is widespread.  If you see a klansman wearing his cultural garb, how do you feel?  Do you become nervous?  Do you think that he'll do something violent?  If so, you're part of the problem. The KKK is an organization of peace.  Most of its members are peaceful and only want to go about their lives without being harmed...like most people in this world.  Sure, there are a few members who preach hate, but that's true in almost every grou...
