Russia blocks Facebook

  Russia blocks Facebook by aletho The ban comes in retaliation to the platform’s efforts “to restrict access to Russian media” RT | March 4, 2022 Russian media regulator Roskomnadzor imposed a blanket ban on Meta’s Facebook social media platform on Friday. The decision was taken in response to Facebook blocking access to Russian media outlets, the watchdog said in a statement. “Since October 2020, we have reordered 26 cases of discrimination against Russian media and information resources by Facebook,” the statement reads. “In recent days, the social network has limited access to the accounts of the Zvezda TV channel, the RIA Novosti news agency, Sputnik, Russia Today, Lenta.ru, and the Gazeta.ru news outlets.” Meta blocked access to accounts belonging to RT and Sputnik in the EU earlier this week, accusing the outlets of serving as a “propaganda arm.” Over the past week, Western private-owned tech giants and multiple government entities took action against Russian state-funded an...

What Will We Tell Our Children?

  What Will We Tell Our Children? by aletho BY SARABETH MATILSKY | BROWNSTONE INSTITUTE | FEBRUARY 14, 2022 When I try to answer my children’s questions, I am so furious that I can barely speak. I choose my words slowly. “Many grownups around you have failed.” Never have I wished so strongly to be wrong than when I remember predictions I made back in March of 2020. And instead, for almost two years and counting, we have collectively failed and keep failing at the primary goal of any society: protecting our children. The sum total of youth Covid policy comes down to this: millions of kids wearing masks in school, being told to stay away from each other and obsessively avoid germs, and receiving vaccines en masse that they likely do not need. Why are so few of us speaking up for the children? “Always be skeptical,” I tell my children, “of anyone who wants you to be scared. Thoughtless fear is dangerous, and one should always try to make decisions when calm. Grownups haven’t been doin...

♫ I Saw Her Again ♫ by jilldennison

  ♫ I Saw Her Again ♫ by jilldennison When I played ♫ Dedicated To The One I Love ♫ a couple of nights ago, I mentioned that in my search for a Mamas & Papas song that I hadn't already played here, I found not one, but two songs that fit that bill.  This one, I Saw Her Again, is the other one! An interesting, and kind of sad story behind the origins of this song.  Turns out that John Phillips wife and fellow band member, Michelle, had been having an affair with the other 'Papa', Denny Doherty.  This affair, combined with an affair between Michelle Phillips and Gene Clark of The Byrds, resulted in the brief expulsion of Michelle from the group for about two months.  Denny Doherty is given credit for co-writing the song, but some say that the song was John’s retribution against Doherty for the affair. The group broke up in 1967, and John & Michelle divorced two years later.  Tragically, Mama Cass, who was doing well with her solo singing career, died ...

Press in His Pocket: Bill Gates Buys Media to Control the Messaging

  Press in His Pocket: Bill Gates Buys Media to Control the Messaging by aletho Editorial by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Board Chair, Children’s Health Defense | September 3, 2020 A Columbia Journalism Review expose reveals that, to control global journalism, Bill Gates has steered over $250 million to the BBC, NPR, NBC, Al Jazeera, ProPublica, National Journal, The Guardian, the New York Times, Univision, Medium, the Financial Times, The Atlantic, the Texas Tribune, Gannett, Washington Monthly, Le Monde, Center for Investigative Reporting, Pulitzer Center, National Press Foundation, International Center for Journalists, and a host of other groups. To conceal his influence, Gates also funneled unknown sums via subgrants for contracts to other press outlets. His press bribes have paid off. During the pandemic, bought and brain-dead news outlets have treated Bill Gates as a public health expert—despite his lack of medical training or regulatory experience. Gates also funds an army of ind...

Toni Morrison, Nobel-Winning Author of ‘Beloved,’ Dies at 88 By BRENT LANG  U.S. novelist Tony Morrison applauds as she attends the America Festival at the U.S. embassy, in ParisFrance Toni Morrison, Paris, France CREDIT: THIBAULT CAMUS/AP/SHUTTERSTOCK Toni Morrison, who wrote about race, gender, and history with great urgency and tremendous narrative power, died Aug. 5. The author was 88 years old and her family said she died “following a short illness.” Morrison’s work includes classics such as “Beloved,” “The Bluest Eye,” and “Song of Solomon,” novels that excavated painful chapters of America’s past. She examined the scars left by slavery and Jim Crow, and the ways that a culture of systemic racism warps the country’s moral values, sending out currents of pain across the generations. Her modernist writing style, both lyrical and evocative, drew comparisons to James Joyce and William Faulkner. “I am interested in the complexity, the vulnerability of an idea,” Morrison to...

This Canadian Model Is a Comedy Sensation in Israel

In the past several months, Renny Grinshpan has become famous in this country for her comedic commentary on Israeli culture. Millions watch her Facebook videos — and she is recognized on the street. Renny Grinshpan is a Canadian Israeli with shaky Hebrew Yet in the past several months, she has become famous in this country for her comedic commentary on Israeli culture. Millions watch her Facebook videos — and she is recognized on the street. “Renny, can I get you something?” a star struck waiter at a local café asks her in English on Thursday. “Your videos are the best.” Most of the subjects Grinshpan, 26, jokes about are old hat to her audience. Recent videos have dealt with Israelis’ love of weddings, marijuana and indignation about the existence of winter. But when she makes the observations in English — with her over-the-top charisma and model good looks — Israelis laugh and click “Share.” “I’m just telling Israelis what they know already about their own thing,” she says aft...
