So: Fake news: BBC and tech firms join forces to fight disinformation https://t.co/JCobUnTryW — BBC News (UK) (@BBCNews) September 6, 2019 Comments most certainly could be going better under that tweet, as hordes descend to mention black pots and kettles and to accuse the BBC of being one of the biggest purveyors of fake news out there.

Butt of the joke
As Arthur T notes on the open thread, there's a BBC News website article headlined *Why we need internet jokes and memes more than ever *that makes Jacob Rees-Mogg the butt of all but one of the jokes. And the exception is a joke about Brexit supporters in general. Why not feature a range of targets for recent internet jokes or memes, especially if you're meant to be seen as an impartial news source?

Why is billionaire George Soros a object of sympathy for the BBC?
The BBC seems to relish acting as St. George towards poor George Soros, with Mr Soros in the role of cruelly-used Princess and "the hard-right" as the nasty Dragon.

There’s a Dark Side to Meditation That No One Talks About
So let us talk about it. Meditation and all forms of self work can open up access to suppressed issues that should be at least disconcerting. Yet we also know that combining this self work with specific medication will cause the reprinting of these episodes to weaken greatly and thus lead to their welcome resolution. Fortunately, for most, there are no real issues to deal with and they simply gain real benfits from all self work. My take home is that developing meditation practice is super important, just as learning how to climb a set of stairs. You do it to expand your mind ... more »
Elites "Going Rogue" Suggests The Global Neoliberal Architecture Is Collapsing
The global NWO enterprise is very much on the rocks and the whole range of beneficiaries are literally desperate to resurrect any part of their plans.

Three million Uigurs in Concentration camps. Final solution Pending
It is astonishing just how quickly this has all been made to happen. There is even discussion regarding the advent of crematoriums worse, no one is leaving as well. The news now is bad and it represents ten percent of the population of Uighurs. Random violence has been used to justify this whole exercise. There is and was no terrorism here. There is a sympathy for independence, as is true also for Tibetans. Yet it has never been really organized.

This Was Germany's World War I Tank (And It Was A Real Killer)
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * An impact on history. *But combat wasn’t the point, as the design served as a prototype for the follow-up Leichter Kampfwagen II — or LK II. This upgraded version weighed nearly nine tons due to its additional armor, around two tons more than its predecessor. A rearward, four-cylinder, 60-horsepower engine allowed speeds of 10 miles per hour.* When the German army’s first domestically-built tanks rolled into combat in March 1918 at St. Quentin Canal, the armored beasts looked considerably different from British and French designs — and most post-w... more »

Just days after North Korea embarked on its steam-roller invasion of its larger but less heavily armed southern neighbor, the United Nations decided it needed to step in and save the besieged Republic of Korea.

During World War II, Germany had its armored giants, such as the seventy-ton King Tiger, the 188-ton Maus or the never-built P.1000, a thousand-ton behemoth that waddled across the line between ambition and insanity.

The Secret Reason America's Tanks Are So Lethal: Depleted Uranium "Silver Bullets"
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * The battlefield will never be the same.

Nobody knows how long the one-two combination of the M256 gun and DU ammunition will continue to overmatch enemy armor, but given DU’s superior armor piercing capability, it’s a fairly sure bet DU will arm the next generation of Army tanks as well.* A tank is a fast-moving, well-protected, heavily armed behemoth designed to dominate the land battlefield.

Midnight Meme of the Day!
*by Noah* Trump's mental collapse is here. I'm wondering how much longer the White House thinks they can cover up the on-going mental disintegration of dear leader.

Germany Ignores Bayer, Announces Complete Ban on “Probable Carcinogen” Glyphosate
The nation of Germany is home to a staunch population of citizens who are pro-healthy, natural foods and anti-GMO foods, but surprisingly enough the country is also home to one of the world’s largest players in the world of toxic pesticides and GMOs: Bayer. German scientists have been active in studying the ongoing environmental harm caused by these pesticides and lab-created foods, however, culminating in the release of a study in late 2017 which found that the world’s population of flying insects had decreased by a shocking 75% over the past 27 years.

Spending Extra on Cage Free Eggs is a Waste of Money (For These Six Reasons)
Everyone wants to buy responsibly and to make purchases that support a more ethical and environmentally friendly standard of living these days, and big food companies know it. Perhaps that’s why they’re happy to take advantage of well meaning consumers with labels that don’t tell the whole story, or spin a sort of “pastoral fantasy” as the blockbuster documentary ‘Food, Inc.’ put it, in order to rake in the dollars from unsuspecting shoppers. One of the most egregious offenders in this department are “cage-free” eggs, a term that could signify any number of living conditions for t... more »

The Worst Of All Possible Worlds For Joni Ernst
*2 politicians Ernst should never be near when a camera is around: white nationalists Trump and Steve King* Maybe she was making a play for a bipartisan conservative ticket with Biden-- or maybe she's crazy. But Iowa freshman Senator Joni Ernst (R) looks like she made a classic rookie error this week when she intimated that Social Security benefits had to be cut. First a little background on Iowa, a classic swing state. Despite why the imbecile pundits are all agreed on now-- that Iowa is so red Democrats should not even bother campaigning there, exactly what the abysmal hillary Cli... more »

*Matthew Gault* *Security, Europe* [image: By Charles Levy - U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=56719] Really, just why? *Scientists based the Blue Peacock’s design on Britain’s first atomic weapon — the Blue Danube. * Land mines and nukes are two of the most terrifying weapons of war — for two very different reasons. Nuclear weapons can wipe out entire cities, and land mines wait buried in the earth, ready to harm anyone who wanders too close. In the 1950s, Britain tried to combine the two into a nu... more »

Fake News Media: Marxist Mass-Murderer Mugabe Was “Liberator”
[image: fake-news-media-marxist-mass-murderer-mugabe-was-liberator] Zimbabwe's mass-murdering dictator Robert Mugabe was one of the most ruthless tyrants of the 21st century. Installed with direct support from the Deep State in the West and the Soviet Union, he died this week at 95 after having been deposed in 2017. In response, establishment media outlets around the world attempted to deceive their audiences, ludicrously proclaiming that Mugabe had “liberated” the former Rhodesia as he oversaw its economic implosion and enslavement. The reality is that Mugabe was no “liberator.” He... more »

"Cherish Your Scars..."
"Never shy away from opportunity and wholehearted living. Never be fearful of putting yourself out there. The courageous may encounter many disappointments, experience profound disillusionment, gather many wounds; but cherish your scars for they are the proud emblems of a truly phenomenal life. The fearful, cautious, cynical and self-repressed do not live at all. And that is simply no way to be in this world." - Anthony St. Maarten
"Screw the Way Things Are, I Want Out"
*"Screw the Way Things Are, I Want Out"* by Paul Rosenberg "This is a beautiful planet, filled, in the main, with decent, cooperative humans. And yet, I want out. Give me any kind of functional spaceship and any reasonable chance, and I’ll take it. This place is anti-human. It chokes the best that’s in us, aggressively and self-righteously. I was struck not long ago by a comment of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s, in which he expressed the same kind of feeling: "I ought to have… become a star in the sky. Instead of which I have remained stuck on earth…" All of us who’ve had a moment of trans... more »
