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...

It's Probably Time to Buy Silver

I believe that now is a good time to start buying silver (or to buy more if you already have some). From around 2000 to 2008, silver had a huge run up in price.  Then, in mid-2008, the price fell until the end of the year, when it started to rebound.  From late 2008 until 2011, it had a huge run up, going from around $10 to nearly $50.  But from May 2011 until the present, the price has fallen again to about $20. It seems like a silver bubble has burst.  However, there are reasons why silver should outperform other investments in the future. Right now, the price of silver is at a "support level".  This is a price which was hard to break through on the way up, and is also hard to break through on the way down.  I don't believe that it will go down (substantially) from here.  Instead, I think that it will be pretty much all up.  (This price increase may start next month or later, but it will occur.)  Why do I think so? Mining prices hav...

The Dark Side of the Women's March

The recent Women's March, which took place in Washington and numerous other cities one day after the inauguration of President Trump, may go down as the largest protest in American history. Millions showed up to these events to advocate for women's issues and to protest against Donald Trump. While very few would find fault in a women's march in and of itself, upon inspecting this women's march further, some disturbing information comes to light. The Women's March was thankfully quite peaceful, unlike Inauguration Day when the group Antifa (the "anti-fascists"), although stymied by the police, were ironically able to carry out their own mini "Kristallnacht" (or rather, "Kristalltag"), smashing windows and setting fires in broad daylight. The Women's March appears to have been non-violent and there were apparently no arrests. However, problems start to manifest themselves when we look at the people who set up and spoke at th...
