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.

In Defense of...Cecil Rhodes?!

You all know Cecil Rhodes, right?  He was a British Imperialist (living from 1853-1902) who founded the De Beers diamond mining and trading company.  Just this morning, I came upon a post comparing him to Adolf Hitler, and claiming that Cecil Rhodes killed at least 60 million Africans.  It has been shared 99 times.  Here is the post: https://plus.google.com/+TonyJefferson/posts/CZ6HW3AxDo6 Unlike many, I decided to do some research on it.  That is my nature.  I don't accept things without evidence given, and even when no evidence is provided, I search for evidence.  If after looking, no evidence is forthcoming, then I discount the claim unless compelling evidence does surface.  After my research on this topic (taking up about an hour of my day and 28 open tabs on my browser...but still an enjoyable time because this is what I like to do), I found that my initial skepticism was well justified and that this comparison is incorrect.  Adolph H...

The Sixth Great Mass Extinction and Human Survival

Recently, there have been numerous articles about a study showing that we are in the midst of the Earth's sixth great mass extinction.  Below are some quotes, and then I will give my thoughts. "Miami (AFP) - The world is embarking on its sixth mass extinction with animals disappearing about 100 times faster than they used to, scientists warned Friday, and humans could be among the first victims." "Not since the age of the dinosaurs ended 66 million years ago has the planet been losing species at this rapid a rate, said a study led by experts at Stanford University, Princeton University and the University of California, Berkeley." "The study "shows without any significant doubt that we are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event," said co-author Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford University professor of biology." http://news.yahoo.com/sixth-mass-extinction-us-study-210749359.html This is sad, although it's not news.  I ...

Muslims consistently play the West like a fiddle, and we never learn.

I even kind of fell for it. But it turns out that the clock Ahmed Mohamed brought to school was not his creation, and it was more than likely meaningfully provocative in order to get a reaction. And a reaction he got (both negative from the police, and then extremely positive from much of the populace who heard about the first reaction). Ahmed Mohamed was most likely the pawn (being told what to do and fed lines to say in at least one phone interview) , but someone behind this kid is a very smart fellow, at least when it comes to getting money and attention.  Name one other person who got handcuffed and went to the police station for a few hours before being sent home with no charges filed and within a day or so got invitations to visit from people such as President Obama and Mark Zuckerberg, an internship offer from Twitter, and a campaign started to raise $100,000 for tuition.  And ironically, this charade gave people the opinion that the US is the most bigoted country in t...
