  1. Orwell sends his regards. Palestine is a test ground for the future. You want to control a large population? Partition it, institute checks at passing stations, require paperwork and surveil the population.

  2. Let the US leave the UN, they are the biggest provocateurs anyway.
    26
  3. Because fascists stick together?
    23
  4. In before all those Asians, Africans, Latinos, Indians and other are all racists. And dear Nikki, no one attacked you or America, give it a rest honey.

  5. How is this biased?

  6. The truth isn't bias, go away if you can't handle it.

  7. Every other trade deal has sucked so this will be no exception and I thought people said no to PIPA type legislation a bunch of times now...what gives there "representatives"?

  8. Holy crap Bill. I guess someone missed the encroaching police state, race baiting, political rhetoric appealing to the blind masses, a completely bought Congress/Senate and the news/media completely sold out...the reason for TRN's existence. The critique isn't even one of Democracy but those working within existing Democracies and their central planning policies. Anyway Chapter 10 can't really be looked at in a bubble as it is a result of the previous chapters but Bush and the Neocons fit the bill as does the scapegoat of terrorism. The rest is happening more or less though not with a single obvious dictator but there is no difference in policy.

  9. Why is it even illegal at this point? How are you going to curb demand on the oldest profession?

  10. Technically if you own a business for profit you are capitalist, it doesn't really matter what you are preaching.

  11. Dayton Ohio guy was not right wing. And judging by the GAO report that many go by, the term right wing is pretty loosely defined and does not even include being conservative as part of the criteria.

  12. This is about the most unbiased coverage you will find on the matter.
    12
  13. dangerouslytalented  Maybe because we are flooded by the OPPOSITE view here in the west we need an opposing view to put it into context. If you want to know what the west thinks, ask Wolf Blitzer. And if you really think the Russians are dominating the narrative you need to get your head checked.
    11
  14. More like: "acts in its own interests under false pretenses" lol.
    10
  15. There is a huge push to militarize everything.
    9
  16. Because you can't have austerity in a Keynesian/consumer based economy which requires spending as stimulus. That plus the fact that you are being robbed blind.

  17. leninstreet  Canadian. Never said it wasn't a "biggie" but an obvious consequence of events, one that would be played out by any major world power. This is not about taking sides since they are all in it for their own gain. It's about the Ukrainian people that are in the middle of a tug of war. And yeah ignore the precedent of a prior Ukrainian referendum, the Kosovo ruling and just about every other "sovereign" state in existence, ever, including the Vatican, The USA, Israel...As the international court ruled, there is no set precedent on secession or declaration of sovereignty. Anyway Russia was already there and part of the local economy and had a huge military presence, now it is a part of the local economy and has a huge military presence....

  18. What an understatement. Anyone involved in the 911 commission or has seen the redacted information is complicit in the crime that is 911 simply for the fact that they hide the people that funded the operation. For you and I, we would be accomplices to the crime but for those in office, they are also guilty of high treason. You don;t even need to declassify the evidence, any court in the land would convict any private citizen based on the evidence at hand.

  19. Saudi, USA and Israel actually with other smaller interests.

  20.  @bubblefroggy1  You have to be quite special to think Gaddafi was a USA puppet.

  21. Whiny babies crying because they want "fairness" and are prepared to"fight dirty" and to "be ruthless" in order to acquire this "fairness".

  22. Oh come on. He had prior convictions, one for unlawful possession of a firearm. He definitely put the police at risk when he fled as well as every person driving on the street that day. I don't pretend to know what happened after that and maybe the gun was planted but HOLY SHIT you guys, he wouldn't have taken off like that if he wasn't guilty. And maybe the judge seemed to be generalizing but he is probably correct. That situation is the perfect storm for ANYONE getting shot by a hot headed cop, you should not be surprised AT ALL.
    8
  23. How about an amendment to ban bribery, I mean lobbying.
    7
  24. Quite frankly, we have only the word, of the mostly unknown people that checked the treasury, that it is all but gone. This after the fact we already knew what dire straights the Ukraine economy was that spurred the protests to begin with. And why would people post videos of Nazi protestors to gain support? And would they have big signs saying: "Nazi's here"? Seriously.
    7
  25. This guy is missing the mark me thinks. The opposite of tyranny is not the ability to have mock elections of people provided for you as we do in the west. Or the ability to create the same micro system of fake democracy in the form of a union. This guy is selling the basic democratic rhetoric we are used to hearing but misses the influence of foreigners behind the military uprising who are by all accounts, the FARTHEST thing from democracy on this planet. If Assad falls, he will be replaced by the victor. And that means the most experienced and ruthless fighters will be in power. That means more Islamic extremism. Yay Demonocracy!

  26. No one should have that power yet we see it is a precedent already on the world stage and supported by powers against this situation in Crimea. And it's not really an annexation but more of guarantee of their autonomy. Russia was the primary force in Crimea before the revolution, both economically and militarily. Nothing has changed on that angle outside the Ukrainian influence from Kiev. Anyone that thought Russia would just give up their port and military bases is crazy or lying. Anyone that thought they would not mobilize their forces during a time of civil unrest is crazy or lying. If China invaded Japan, USA would mobilize its Okinawan forces to secure the immediate area regardless of law. It might be a slap to Kiev but Crimea don't care for the most part. If I remember, Ukraine left Russia via a referendum lol
    7
  27. Dean Counts  This is not RT and regardless of what percent of the protestors were composed of, the current parliament does contain the party mentioned in this video and their history is what the video is actually about so do you have a point? And passing laws and appointing oligarchs to generally elected positions before public referendum and elections is not at all what these people fought for, it's what caused this crisis to begin with, the new parliament is corrupt to start.
    7
  28. She means "address" as in "send them a bill".
    7
  29. You need some facts. Although there are more white people shot by police, the numbers are about 32% white and 20% black. Not really a "vast majority" by any stretch. http://killed-by-police.silk.co/
    7
  30. If by, "good ole boy culture" you mean "due process" then you have a point. Without that, I could just accuse you of anything without evidence and you could potentially be arrested.
    7
  31. Anti-bias training? lol they are the most biased people on the planet.
    7
  32. Sorry but putting innocent people in a prison, using them for target practice and preventing their departure is not "defending yourself".
    7
  33. Russiagate....no one is anxious about that non issue that literally did nothing and affected no one. Except that one lady that was interviewed and was harassed by the media. And voter ID laws....affect literally the homeless and illegals, everyone else has an ID. Ask any black dude if they walk down the street at night without ID...LOL.
    7
  34. To paraphrase: Inflation has rose steadily for decades while wages have remained stagnant. Prices rise, wages reduced and labor is cut to maximize profit. Now you have no consumer base to sell products to. Game, set, match, we all lose.

  35. Oh damn premeditated murder caught on tape and video...he'll get a paid vacation for sure.

  36. There are many agreements and Crimea is autonomous and mostly Russian. Let's see a democratic vote from Crimea if they want anything to do with the anti-Russian Kiev parliament. Frankly until they show me some evidence of "invasion", I am going to assume they were already there since they have a strong troop presence in Crimea. They also have a right to protect their "interests" just as the US does. And FFS let's talk about how the Okinawan just love US presence on their Island. What do you think the US would say if Russia asked it to just leave all of its military bases it has around the world? lol
    6
  37. Fafner888  How sure can you really be about the claims you just made? The Kiev parliament is quite anti Russian, meaning the majority of Crimea even without Russian presence is at risk of losing their autonomous status. Like it or not, the Russians have bases there and legal contracts with the autonomous Crimean government to keep them. If this was the US they would be "protecting their interests".
    6
  38. lol Go away until you can prove your allegations.

  39. This is exactly what they want, terrorism is the #1 political tool for control.

  40. Okay then, not sure if you have a point lol Perhaps you like things that have no utility, here's a stick, next time you want to get online to comment, just use it.
    6
  41. 0:29 yeah dude you took it too far and no we didn't find out much about that in this. Dear "The Real News" you used to be pretty awesome now you are filled with rhetoric, you have always been left leaning but now have joined Democracy now in a very biased viewpoint. Here you are saying how Trump distorts and contorts into a diatribe "against the rest" and then I see the title how you contort his statements with "the rest" of the republicans. And the obvious elephant here is immigrants vs illegal immigrants which are conflated all the time by not only you, all other media and the "squad" itself.

  42. If Assad falls, Syria will become worse than Libya. He is a necessary evil, a necessity brought forth by about 100 years of western meddling. And Syria is a customer and a port to the Russians as well as a buffer...duh?

  43. @0:54 Liar!

  44. Stolen from the people.

  45. The US military can literally move 100000 people anywhere on the globe complete with tons and tons of military hardware and logistical support in less than a week. A week after that, their established base has compounds built, perimeter fence and roads are being paved. In a month the officers club is getting 500 channels of crap from around the world while a comfort controlled environment helps the drinks flow smoothly. All for nothing really. A "just in case"..."to protect America". Meanwhile, in America, bridges are falling down, cities are bankrupt, debt is on such a level as to be imposed immediately on any citizen wanting to exist let alone get an education. Every military base in the world = a free university.

  46. What would you do if 10K + people were about to enter your country undeclared? How would you maintain order? It's not all "fascism" lol even if they intended to give them citizenship there would need to be a decided security force present. And btw...Where do 10K people get enough food for over a months journey?
    5
  47. So why isn't bribery considered free speech?

  48. EPA? Isn't that the Environmental Piracy Advocacy?

  49. Hilarious. Secret legislation that is being overall hailed as something positive...IDKWTI

  50. The US just cannot allow any unscripted democratic election so must paint this as separatists or a Russian insurgency/incitement since not only does it set a precedence of self rule, it allows for comparisons between regions and we have seen how Moldova turned out after their separation, they are worse off for it. Can't have competing freedoms.
    4
  51. Anyone that has ever worked a fast food/retail job will tell you that when you raise the min wage, the business raises prices to compensate. The problem is in the economic system that is based on usury.
    4
  52. Because the original event had their fingerprints interlaced with others, they are not shy about doing it again since government officials can be silenced with a little cash?

  53. What leftist doesn't talk about the "failures of capitalism"?
    4
  54. The fact that you even entertain the concept pf toxic masculinity makes me cringe. Social science is the only "science" based on emotion and utterly devoid of facts, logic and is completely biased to the point of extremeism

  56. Pretty sad if you have to vote for a crook to get rid of worse crooks lol

  57. Duh? This is the plan all along.

  58. Lawrence Sher  Yeah that imaginary concrete unavailable in Gaza must be acting as a foundation for the entire region since it seems there are tunnels everywhere if we go by the distribution of strikes.

  59. Neither case listed here used the stand you ground laws as part of their defense, it was the judge explaining the self defense laws to the jury. Not to mention both cases are quite different and really incomparable. The law itself isn't really that bad: "A person is justified in the use of deadly force and does not have a duty to retreat if: He or she reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself" Sure it sounds subject to interpretation because it is and HAS TO BE. There are so many possibilities they can't be bundled into a law. Imagine if you had to retreat by law yet the pursuer is faster and has a knife at your back...what then? You have a right to self defense. It is the interpretation/application of a law in certain instances that make any law good/bad. The criminal justice system is biased, it has nothing to do with particular laws. So harping on either the law or the decision is pointless. The root is the problem, you can't cut branches off and expect a change. But part of the problem is also public perception as Dayvon points out and it really does no good ignoring the huge role media plays in it and who is actually forming it. What does the "media" say about African Americans? Gangsta thug ho bitch gat A-K bling money money money. And who is perpetuating this stereotype? African Americans. So we have the original demonization of African Americans being played out by African Americans. So yeah let's have this conversation and realize ALL parties are to blame in one way or another while most of the actual cause is rooted in the past and outside the scope of blame.

  60. No, just no. Incredulous even.

  61. Why would they succeed when they benefit so much more from having a very convenient enemy supplied to them?
    3
  62. thatsnotagoodidea  The "Russian propaganda" is that a portion of the parties represented in the current house is "far right" and this is correct. What videos "show otherwise" as if you can show a negative lol

  63. *****  I would gather many of the inhabitants of the Smaller cities and towns served in the military just as they do in the USA. Considering the region it is more likely they saw actual combat.

  64. Realnews you guys should cover the mountaintop removal coal mining in the Adirondacks

  65. Calvin Miner  I don't think you have actually read the book as the first chapter dispels what you think his point is. The Scandinavian countries are based on the "Nordic model". It was written in 1944, long before said model and was concerning "present democracies" IE UK/USA. The USA has had a centrally planned economy for a long time via the Fed, they set policy, the market follows and those "Scandinavian countries" adhere to international free trade policies and are free market capitalists mixed with socialist policy. Norway in fact, in Hayek's day, was Keynesian so I am not sure what point the comparison is supposed to make. As far as those countries being "free/open/democratic" that is debatable. Norway still has a king who still retains ultimate power much as all commonwealth countries including "independent" Canada. Each has a major representative in parliament and a privy council that meets in secret. If you think that is coincidence, you don't understand the game very well. Canada is another supposed "social democracy" and I can tell you it is nothing of the sort at its heart. It is slowly becoming a corporate dictatorship much like the USA. He also takes into account business but separates the fact that once one is in the power structure and can influence policy, there is no ostensible difference. Funny how people blame corporations for lobbying but not the politicians that take the bribe when it is their JOB and DUTY to be "civil servants". His point is even a billionaire can't come close to the harm a central authority could cause unless he can directly influence them. Just because his critique/warning cannot be applied to every case does not make it invalid, particularly given these things take time. Economies are the same way. Sometimes they look great until they collapse unexpectedly. The USA/UK model he critiques proves him right. UK is Orwell 101 and USA is Orwell 2.0 both of which set economic policy of numerous nations via the use of their currency, loans and the markets. Sure you can "freely" invest but there is no "free market" as it is HIGHLY regulated. The thing is, people mistake this regulation as something that is put in place to help the populace but it is regulated to be the opposite. They have regulated the hell out of not only their own people but at least half of the worlds nations. Bretton woods/Marshall-Plan/Petro-dollar/IMF/BIS/etc = Centrally planned economic structure on a massive scale.

  66. 3:16 is this supposed to be a show of horrible conditions? In jail is the last place I would want to be right now but what is the option for these people? While people are getting evicted, losing their businesses and jobs in the outside world? And 100% infections with how many deaths/complications? argh

  67. lol climate justice....no one can even approach the needed aspect of stopping pollution and we are leaping into climate justice. Do you drive? You are guilty give me money.
    3
  68. Facebook and Youtube etc are the classic example of a business that "caters to the public at large". Their model of business is one that gives people a platform. Like a restaurant or theater, they should not be able to restrict or discriminate against the public as long as the patrons are utilizing the facility for the intended use and not breaking the law. The civil rights act just needs a digital update.

  69.  @Ray_More  Right so China is totally a pristine ecological heaven? The former USSR had no pollution?

  70. Actually a genocide is an intentional act.

  71. We actually live in a world where laws matter and so does complicity and innocence. Do those " few broken windows and burned buildings today" belong to an actually guilty party?
    3
  72. There are 17000 NG troops deployed over 23 States and somehow Trump is to blame? What world do you people live in?
    3
  73. Once you use the tactics of the side you are opposed too, you are no better than them. Also in the 30's the "Nazi's" were not killing anyone and were initially derived from a workers movement, a liberal one at that. It's when we think we are right and right alone that we become like Nazi's. Righteous indignation is a powerful form of self delusion.

  74. You don;t need moral authority to declare someone a terrorist, they just have to be a terrorist. Hypocrisy doesn't change the truth.

  75. This is a push against neoliberalsm and globalism as a whole, if you can't see that then you are probably an extremest

  78. shirehorse91  Research is easy, as easy as comprehension IE "accused". Anyway, you are welcome to point out just what you thought the bias was, although I think that is too much to ask.

  79. :O

  80. shirehorse91  Really? I doubt you could find a link outside a foreign development the Israelis are profiting from and are outside the hands of actual residents. What "new hospital" are you referring to? It must have a name.
    2
  81. shirehorse91  That is not an answer. Give me a name.

  82. shirehorse91  It's not that hard is it?

  83. shirehorse91   You "There's a hell of lot of supposedly unavailable concrete going into new homes, schools, hospitals, and other buildings." Me: "Really? I doubt you could find a link outside a foreign development the Israelis are profiting from and are outside the hands of actual residents. What "new hospital" are you referring to? It must have a name." You: "Dumbass, look up all the hospitals, schools and buildings. They are all made of concrete. So much for the for the lie that Gaza has no concrete. If Palestinians want open boarders the need to stop being such violent, blood thirsty, genocidal islamist assholes. The problem is Palestinians are assholes. Now, run along and go defend ISIS. You know anyone objecting to ISIS are just oppressing innocent ISIS members" Me: "That is not an answer. Give me a name." You: "wtf" Me: "It's not that hard is it?" TLDR: That hospital, what is its name.

  84. This has been the case for about 100 years lol before digital it was a ledger sheet. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

  85. Cuban missile crisis. President shows satellite imagery as proof of claims. If they say they don't have full HD coverage of the Russian border at the very least they are lying lol.

  86. I thought criminal negligence was the specialty of the IMF so why isn't she getting an award? Maybe these proceedings are an award ceremony in disguise, that's all I got lol
    2
  87. thatsnotagoodidea  You or I have no idea who is in the Ukraine parliament, these people were not elected yet are passing laws. Is there a referendum of the people yet? There is one scheduled in Crimea. If I was in Crimea or E Ukraine I would be suspicious at the very least. Suffice it to say their choices of governors so far has been along the lines of: "meet the new boss, same as the old boss".
    2
  88. thatsnotagoodidea  Ask the people in Quebec that question.

  89. Anyone can go out and acquire uniforms, local people that probably served together in the past might have an easier time looking in their closet. Russian arms in that area are plentiful, provisions is speculative since they are home based and well trained is really nowhere to be found. Seriously, what marvel of military feats are you referencing that any group of armed people couldn't do?
    2
  90. Because rich people buy slaves and have agendas?

  91. I have to agree. She is smart, well spoken and quite beautiful.

  92. I think this last time you can blame Brussels. Even though a member of the EU, they have bailed out countries a bunch of times now directly from their own economy. The EU policies are to blame here.
    2
  93. What proof? Is there a list of Russian special forces I can cross reference this somewhere?
    2
  94. So "don't report on us and we can be your sources"...lol That's sort of like saying: "Don't steal our money and we can give you money in return" lmao
    2
  95. Ridiculous. Stand your ground did not work for Dunn nor was it used in the Trayvon Martin case so what is this?
    2
  96. *****  Yeah I think you don't know what you are talking about lol
    2
  97. Why would you try and equate separatists with a workers movement as if one is more preferable or as if they are mutually exclusive of one another. Not to mention that most of these protestors are for federalization, not secession.
    2
  98. Ahhh police are protesting the policies that were put in place while they were cracking down on the people that were protesting G20 meetings...I think this is...irony? I bet they thought they would be protected in return...lol How fitting the police are now facing the same austerity as the rest of us even though they have been protecting the slimeballs that suck us and the world dry. You will be happy to know that those CEO's did buy those island paradises and can now afford to paint them any color they wish, like gold.
    2
  99. Because you can't clean an infection by rubbing dirt in it?

  101. dmike3507  There is no way to do an accurate comparison as all businesses are different and require different staffing. As with most changes, the larger corporations can adjust, the smaller businesses tend to fail. Thus Walmart.

  102. Let's just end this semantic game because that's all it is. These types of camps exist all over the world with similar or way worse conditions. So either all interment camps are concentration camps(areas where large populations are "concentrated") or all concentration camps are internment camps. It's just a label. Go ahead and choose one for all and leave your hypocrisy at the door. OR we can cut to the chase here and say exactly what AOC is suggesting, that these are death camps. Places where specific ethnic groups are being purged. Well go ahead and try to prove that. The conditions may not be pristine but with the amount of traffic, the fact that the Dems would not allow funding and the fact that it was the Obama admin that cut funding originally...what do you expect? Especially from people whose answer to this problem is to show "compassion". Whatever that entails. If it's anything like the way Clinton showed compassion when he withdrew US and UN forces prior to the Rwandan genocide to spare the USA any embarrassment like during the battle of Mogadishu....
    2
  103. What good does protesting do? It's definitely not as effective as voting or running for office. The Alabama bill was sponsored and signed into law by women and many of the men ran for office on a pro life platform, stop blaming anyone but yourselves at this point.
    2
  104. Okay let's see if the last few years of media painting Trump as a Russian asset or whatever they could spin will change the American psyche against him.

  105. Don't worry the Russians did it.

  106. Lowell has it right, you need to do a little brushing up on your political theory.

  107. They have been doing this since early 2000s, they did it for the G20 in Toronto as well etc. Oh and surprise....federal law enforcement has been in every major US city for decades!!!!

  108. Does she think that communism would be different? China is a mess, the former USSR the same. If we believe the rhetoric of "less than 12 years" and act accordingly, does anyone understand the implications of what will happen? Go ahead and follow the green new deal and shut down most carbon burning processes and with nothing to replace them the world will grind to a halt. There will be mass starvation, loss of power and industry and then the economy will collapse. The problem is humans, both economic models created the same problem.
    2
  109. uhhh is there some comparison ideology that doesn't include Cuba, China or N Korea? Is there a country that does not protect property rights? The only historical difference is property is not granted by a Monarch or held by personal force. And damage to property is damage to the individual, either by halting their means to provide a livelihood or as a means to protect against the elements.

  110. The cops were called because of him, he was the domestic dispute. En route the police were advised of a warrant for 3ed degree sexual assault so they arrested him. He resisted, fought back, pulled out a knife, at the point he put his hands in the vehicle he signed his death warrant, same as a white guy. So yeah go on defending a domestic abusing rapist that not only went to his Ex's home unwanted and left his children unattended but also put them in danger by leading men with guns to the car the were in. You might ask yourself...where was he going? Or what was he doing? Well he was under arrest so it was either to get a weapon or flee and both would have endangered the children further. Yeah so go on and admit your low IQ and keep supporting the racist narrative. It was his life or the cops and children, fuck that guy.
    2
  111. In what country are kits not scarce, medical teams not overworked? And benefits can't be compared between economies easily.
    2
  112. What does he mean by "being put on the front lines of climate change"? And how is climate change being kept to specific areas of New York? What? Let's dispel this. Rising sea levels is one of the major impacts of CC and guess who owns most beach front property? Wealthy people. Anyway, this suit will go nowhere even if they had grounds to base it on.

  113. No it will bring down the global economy only reducing emissions reduces emissions.

  114. Fafner888  Is there proof they are "occupying the whole of Crimea"? And if so, is it was they wish or is it at the behest of the Crimean Parliament? FWIW the situation in Crimea is quite different than the one in Okinawa. And Okinawa is not Japan as Crimea is not Ukraine.
    1
  115. Fafner888  Mention of them invading is all over the news as they gloss over the fact that there were already troops and bases in Crimea. No video of them crossing a border, nothing but troops obviously on alert because of a coup plus anti Russian sentiment. The photos of troops on bases is nothing. Talk of troops along the border of Russia is also ignoring every other countries border protections. And Crimea is not NYC nor is it Okinaawa FFS. Here is a hint for you. Cuban missile crisis. In order to obtain trust they showed the public proof via satellite imagery. Have you seen any nice present day Hi res photos of troops crossing borders or saturating Crimea? I bet they have 360º video coverage

  116. Fafner888  I asked for clear evidence and you can either provide it or not, saying there is evidence without it being available is a conspiracy theory. And again, according to our "unbiased" press, the autonomous parliament of Crimea has asked for their support so what is there left to say? Citing a known technology over 50 years in the past is not a theory.
    1
  117. Fafner888  Until you prove said claims they are only claims. There were many claims of secret police, rape troops and warehouses full of Viagra in Libya but they were just that, claims. And I don't need to claim the press is lying as they are telling half truths like occupying "bases" and "buildings" that are unspecified or are not properly explained. Seriously dude, if there are sooo many reporters and so much super tech to spy on us you might think they would have some juicy footage instead of a bunch of troops standing around. So far I have not made any claim outside I need something tangible, go figure this is conspiracy talk to some.

  122. Keepskatin  He was arrested and released on bail. There is no charge until the investigation in this case since it was inconclusive what happened  and the defense never used it. There is also the classic self defense law which prevented them from charging prior to investigation and is what the defense used. Stand your ground has been used by young black men as well.

  132. thatsnotagoodidea  A revolution is not a guarantee the people victories are in any way representative of the people. They also tried to pass a law restricting the use of Russian language. They also want Crimea which has it's own democratic parliament. And although Yanukovych is a jerk, I don't think any war crimes have occurred.
    1
  133. It all seems reasonable until you remember this whole thing started because they were broke.
    1
  134. thatsnotagoodidea   The reasons are multifold but include loans and the ever present Ukraine/Russian oligarch tug of war.  Of course every government is responsible for the economic woes of its country but that is the point here, it was already known. So they expected 0 money and found 70 billion of that 0 was missing...ergo bullshit
    1
  135. thatsnotagoodidea  But we really have no comparison here, just a country in economic ruin leading to a country in turmoil.
    1
  136. thatsnotagoodidea  What money? They were broke, that means 0. We have no ledger of the official accounts before and after since there was no audit until after. How does anyone steal 70 billion without a trace and why wait and make it obvious lol

  148. deathtokoalas  Wow do you people ever learn history? Most of Europe's historical woes are attributed elsewhere.
    1
  149. deathtokoalas  Dude it's like saying Europe is not Norway, Sweden, England, France, the Netherlands, Austria etc...all descendants of Germanic tribes. It's like saying Western Germany is Eastern France or vice versa. You are looking at an orgy and finding a few parts you don't like without recognizing the attaching parts. Meanwhile the Romans, the Turks, , The Brits, The Russians, THE GREAT GAME, the(insert name)....
    1
  150. deathtokoalas "Europe" is a relatively new concept, not one to be assigned 2000 years of existence. "Germany" was "Germania". the majority of what we call Europe today, the rest was Rome. So what is your point? That most of the original Germanic tribes that went on to become present day Europe because of a migration somehow tried to conquer itself? Technically the Visigoths would be attacking Rome not Europe. And technically Rome was the biggest aggressor. "Germania" was fairly consistent for about 1500 years regardless of it's name. The rest was Rome, or what was left of it after they fell and "other". The East is another matter. Anyway, you are still missing how everyone was trying to conquer everything..."everything" meaning what used to be Rome/Germania.
    1
  151. deathtokoalas  Prussian = Germanic, not sure where you are going with that lol. 1. Your vision of this "Europe" as a geological location does not take into account the artificial borders that exclude Russia/Asia etc. We are discussing pre civilized Europe during a time known as the great migration. A time when Europe did not exist as a set location and people came from all over. Sure, same rocks, but it's a whole lot bigger if you add all the stuff it is attached too without those convenient borders. 2. Germanic tribes, is there a point? And at what point are they not "Germanic" even though they hail from the same stock? You mention Goths as if they are not Germanic. 3. Yes they moved south as the Celts moved west, neither were "indigenous. And you quoted a 2000 year timeline, the Celts, what we know of them, predate that and were mainly affected by Rome. They were pushed, Germanic tribes were pushed, Slavic tribes were pushed... they all did pushing as well. 4. This is subject to a very long timeline, but it is pretty safe to say that regardless of who was ruling who, the lines have remained consistent for at least 1000 years give or take and were pretty much formed prior to that. 5. Funny we are communicating in German? No in English...why is that? Because there are other players in this you are not addressing. So the next language most likely for us to speak in would be German?...no it would be French. Although influenced by German, we consider many European languages to be "Latin" based. How could that be? You say this as if it is uniquely German. 6. Your point ignores everyone else, this makes you a bigot. In the same boat as Germany would be every tribe/culture you mention and some you have not. So is there a point? Besides being a bigot and pointing out one guilty party among many?
    1
  152. deathtokoalas  No, I follow you, you are a bigot. And "Prussian" ≠ "Old Prussian".

  163. The BLM has been absorbing the commons along with the fed for years. He was utilizing the "commons". His family has a precedent utilizing the commons. Grazing is beneficial when it is periodic and dispersed as it helps promote new growth, cuts down on fire hazard and fertilizes the land helping to lock in water and nutrients. There is no real argument this guy has stolen anything from the tax payer, in fact he provided a net benefit to the land. Boy if this guy represents a "poverty law center" we are all screwed. And those 3 people killed were not Jewish. 2 Methodists and one Catholic. Militias started increasing under Bush and have continued to increase. Man is it really hard to research?
    1
  164. Monpolism.
    1
  165. dmike3507  The point here is the ambiguous 10% increase as is the term "most effected" since fast food is generally large corporations. As I said the larger ones can absorb the cost, the small ones seldom can. It's not just about profits either, large businesses have a much easier time with tax loopholes or avoiding it all together via offshoring. n the end, a min wage would be unnecessary if the economic system wasn't based on usury and debt based vehicles.
    1
  166. dmike3507  Although I only skimmed that PDF there are numerous assumption based results thrown in the works as not all of the examples are real world ones and none are as all encompassing as a federally mandated living wage. That paper has vacuum written all over it. What happens when all federal employees get their new wages? A raise of taxes. What happens when the local coffee shop not only has to pay their employes more because of a wage increase, but they also have to deal with the rise in price of fuel, transport, raw materials that will rise because those companies as well will have to pay their employees more...plus new taxes? And FYI I didn't say small companies can't absorb costs, just much less effectively than the larger ones.
    1
  167. dmike3507  I understand about economic stimulus but it is no overall guarantee that sales will translate unilaterally across all sectors. Nowhere in your example do you take it out of the vacuum, you list one company. What about a company that relies on air freight, sea freight and raw materials, now all 5% more costly on top of their new employee wage burden... plus possible new taxes. All without the guarantee of increased business. Although in Seattle, short term stats show a decrease in unemployment, it is to early to tell. But small business with small profit margins have been also shown to be getting hit hard. If your margin is 4% and your overhead becomes 5% more... And fast food chains are not small businesses, they have a very low overhead and a central distribution system that makes their overall costs minimal, they can adjust.

  169. Wow this guy is a tool lol. Obamacare is way to new to be citing any research as fact. And at least she cites some data while he just puts out rhetoric. Wages wont rise. People won't be leaving the labor market because they can get cheap insurance lol they still have bills and rent to pay they couldn't afford before Obamacare. What will happen is a reduction in full time employees because for some reason working ten hours less a week makes you a second class worker in the eyes of legislation in place. It is now in the best interests of many companies to hire only part time employees even without the "ACA".

Perhaps you just open borders and who gives a crap until something bad happens because America has a LOT of enemies...plus there are thousands of unaccompanied children picked up every year, just let them die in the desert or allow them to be sold. Oddly enough there is little difference between this admin and the last one where this is concerned outside the hypocrisy of the people complaining lol

  180. He didn't just run, he hit their car, almost hit them if they didn't move and risked everyone on the street. And again we have no idea if it was planted or not. And that article would apply to any race, the problem here is he had a past record, two police saying he just did a drug deal, a high speed chase through traffic and the actual drugs on him at the end. Seriously, after all that, the driver could have just sneezed and a hot headed person would potentially fire. No need for a gun to be present at all, you know they could have just said "false move" and the cop would have got off after that chase.

You would have to be pretty fucking stupid to advertise some death camps and keep them at the border instead of hidden somewhere but then again you would have to be pretty fucking stupid to believe a border detention center is a death camp. Not like every country including ISRAEL has them. Come on people, grow a pair and call them DEATH CAMPS BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT TO CALL THEM!!!!! COME ON YOU CAN DO IT DEATH CAMPS CREATED BY NAZIS!!!!!!!

  185. How about some accountability on the guy that was the subject of not only a warrant but an open complaint? There is no way the cops could come out looking good on this one. Either they protect themselves and the children from potential harm, take a possible bullet or stabbing, or let him take his children on a high speed chase endangering not only the children but the public. Has TRN ever asked or wondered just were this guy was going? Nope, you people would lynch them no matter what...unless they took a bullet or were stabbed and then you wouldn't give a fuck.

  192. There was no time for a second thought once he reached in his vehicle. The cops had plenty of opportunity to "execute" him before he reached in his car, but they didn't because he wasn't fucking executed. Pro tip: Don't resist arrest, don't fight police, do not run and do not reach where a cop can't see if you are being arrested, it will get you killed. Also, wanted for sexual assault.

He was under arrest, where was he going? For a snack? Maybe he was going to take his kids on a high speed chase? Look in the mirror and see the real boot licker, someone who defends a rapist, who put their children in danger instead of just going with the police

  195. Just because democracy is not written into a document does not mean it is not part of the system, in fact the process is written without the word being present. And to just state "Republic" is a bit of a farce since the Chinese use it as do other despotic regimes so what does it really mean? Oh if you look it up....there are many types of "republics" haha go figure. So what part of the current process of government in the USA was not intended by this original republic you point out?

Yeah just come on in, no problem.

  203. And what is the name of this mysterious 5000 page book that defines one small portion of capitalism, you know the one communists don't like. "Capitalism is an economic theory where production is privately owned and controlled by the laws of supply and demand." Quite literally, the internet needs you to correct its mistake since that is the basic bit of nonsense being spouted by literally the entire thing....except communists that is. You will hopefully return here victorious one day to show mw it's all fixed, I await it with baited breath.

  208. People need to understand there is a line between personal opinion, politics and business. If Kaps conduct had brought with it a way to make money, the NFL would have no issue regardless of the context. The problem is that a large portion of its consumer base loves America and took issue with what they see as disrespect towards it. As with any private business, they do not need to provide anyone with a soapbox or hire anyone that could potentially "hurt their brand". The closed workout was a way to see if his potential outweighed the bad press because obviously, every team would have to have a meeting after to weigh the cost vs profit. Don't pretend like his case is like any other tryout. It's not.

  209. Technically anything that isn't extreme left is considered far right atm TBH just because there is a heavy nationalist pushback against mass immigration, globalism and lack of local self determination doesn't make everyone far right.

  216. @Tyler Zacher Just like all the memes floating around the internet, that video shows "comparisons" that are not equal. You can't compare an arrest with an arrest where someone is resisting. Jakob Blake was resisting arrest, Eric Garner resisted arrest, George Floyd resisted arrest, Rayshard Brooks resisted arrest. I am not going to stand here and say there are no cases of racism or brutality out there but on the other hand we need to be honest with ourselves

  218. @Tyler Zacher You need to watch the bodycam footage, he was "accused" by a store owner, he pointed to a vehicle. So there was no racial profiling, he didn't have a panic attack, he was overdosing on fentanyl. And if you watch the bodycam footage you will see he put himself in the position we saw him in in the famous video.

  219. @Tyler Zacher f you have a specific point from the video, bring it up, I am not going to try and fact check a 30 min video

  222. @Tyler Zacher Have you watched the body cams n the George Floyd case yet? Or how about Rayshard?
    1
  223. @Tyler Zacher That's not my point. The point is, George Floyd put himself in that position and would probably be alive today if he complied with the police. And both autopsies fail to show trauma to the neck or respiratory system as a result of his encounter, go ahead and read them. He was most likely overdosing. And if you are so inclined, get a friend and either have them apply a kneeling choke to you or you to them and see how long it takes before you are unconscious. If it takes ore than 5 secs you are not applying the choke properly. While I am uncertain as to the intent of the officer in question, the others had to pin him down as he was erratic and in the street and could easily have rolled into traffic. Now ask yourself, if you have actually watched the almost 30 mins of footage, what would you have done?????
    1
  224. @Tyler Zacher You aren't being honest with yourself man. He asked to be on the ground and put himself there. He was "hassled" because the shop owner reported him, if you have an issue it's with him. And once a cop says you are under arrest you have to go, that's it, even if he is 100% wrong. You can't argue wth a cop, that is what the courts are for.
    1
  225. @Tyler Zacher He died from an overdoes dude. Neither autopsy lists trauma to the neck or respiratory system.

  226. But it's not built on reality. Let's be clear, the green new deal if implemented would have a massive impact on humanity and how it exists on Earth and you can be sure the ones most affected would be "frontline communities". Do you think roads, food, housing and the like are good things? Well you need fossil fuels. Electric cars good? Well they use electricity and the batteries are not only toxic but the materials used are mined using fossil fuels, refined using fossil fuels and manufactured by fossil fuels. If enacted on a massive scale we would see a massive decline in human population. But that leaves the rest with a lot of "green"....soylent green

  230. Pay equity is akin to comparing the homeless guy playing guitar on the corner to Taylor Swift, should they be paid the same? Or the person working at Starbucks to the one working on high tension lines 100s of feet in the air. They do not deserve equal pay. Two people working the same position and starting at the same time, with the same qualifications should receive pay equity and that is where it should end since not all workers are equal.
