Friday Humor: Entire Facebook Staff Laughs As Man Tightens Privacy Settings
‘According to internal sources, the entire staff of Facebook was left gasping for air minutes later when the “hilarious” Herrick believed he had actually blocked third-party ads.’
PALO ALTO, CA
All 1,472 employees of Facebook, Inc. reportedly burst out in uncontrollable laughter Wednesday following Albuquerque resident Jason Herrick’s attempts to protect his personal information from exploitation on the social-networking site.
“Look, he’s clicking ‘Friends Only’ for his e-mail address. Like that’s going to make a difference!” howled infrastructure manager Evan Hollingsworth, tears streaming down his face, to several of his doubled-over coworkers.
“Oh, sure, by all means, Jason, ‘delete’ that photo. Man, this is so rich.”
According to internal sources, the entire staff of Facebook was left gasping for air minutes later when the “hilarious” Herrick believed he had actually blocked third-party ads.

U.S. Still Evacuating ISIS Leaders In Syria
According to some experts, Washington is going to use the evacuated ISIS commanders to create various “security threats” across Central Asia, which would then justify a continued US military presence in the region.
According to Syrian state media three US helicopters evacuated ISIS commanders from eastern Syria on Monday.
Civilian sources told SANA that the military helicopters landed in an area between the villages of al-Jissi and Kalu around 2 km south of the Tal Hamis township in the Qamishli countryside.
Sputnik news reports: From there, servicemen accompanied four persons from a house believed to contain Daesh* leaders of Iraqi nationality to the helicopters, which then evacuated them from the area to an unknown destination.
Damascus, Tehran and the Russian military have repeatedly charged the US military of sketchy dealings with the terrorist group.
In late February, Syrian media reported that US helicopters had transported Daesh commanders and their family members to Sabah al-Khair, about 20 km south of al-Hasakah, where US forces have been accused of establishing a terrorist training base.
Earlier this month, a senior Iranian commander provided the Iranian foreign ministry with what he said was proof of US…

“Don’t Surrender, Don’t Sell Out:” The Zapatistas’ First International Gathering of Women Who Struggle
The Mayan indigenous Zapatistas and their fight to build alternatives to capitalism from the bottom up have inspired anti-establishment social movements around the globe for more than two decades.

Women insurgents wearing the Zapatista’s iconic black balaclavas greeted thousands of women from over four dozen countries at the entrance to the Zapatista Caracol in the highlands of Chiapas under a vibrant banner reading “Welcome women of the world.” The insurgents ushered visitors through gates emblazoned with red stars and the letters EZLN into what would be a women-only space for more than 72 hours.

Hong Kong: Aged and Abandoned
Hong Kong: Aged and Abandoned
Al Jazeera (2016)
Film Review
This shocking Al Jazeera documentary concerns Hong Kong’s 500,000 elderly residents who live in abject poverty in a city with 65 billionaires.
At present, Hong Kong seniors can’t qualify to receive a pension unless their adult children sign a document affirming their inability to look after them. Many refuse to sign out of shame for their failure to provide for their parents.
Hong Kong elders who qualify for pensions find $100 a month totally inadequate to meet their basic needs. Thus they supplement their income by scavenging rubbish bins for cardboard and items they can hawk at street markets.
Many live in so-called “coffin homes” – in warehouses of large beds stacked on top of one another.

“It Wasn’t Russia,” It Was Obama-Based Social Media Mining That Beat Hillary
Facebook, not Russia, helped Trump win the election.
Authored by Trent Lapinski via Hackernoon.com,
Just over a year ago I wrote, “Did Donald Trump Use Artificial Intelligence To Win The Election?”, which was an article about Cambridge Analytica.
If you haven’t been paying attention lately, Facebook just banned Cambridge Analytica from their platform, including the whistleblower that blew the whistle on how Cambridge Analytica was potentially misusing data. Meanwhile, the mainstream media has gone into a frenzy, crashing Facebook’s stock, forcing executives out of the company, and calling for social media reform.
This story is seriously a year old, and although I was not the first journalist to write about this, I did bring it to the attention of about 6,300+ readers. While it is new that we have a whistleblower, and the number “50 million accounts”, what the media isn’t telling you is how Cambridge Analytica actually pulled this off.

Although the US sought to deprive its geopolitical rivals of free access to Iraqi oil as one of the objectives of Operation Iraqi Freedom, China has managed to turn the challenges of the war to its own advantage, analysts told Sputnik, adding that Beijing may adopt a similar strategy towards Syria.
Washington’s plans to commandeer Baghdad’s oil exports in the aftermath of its 2003 invasion Operation Iraqi Freedom failed, as China has emerged as the largest purchaser of Iraqi crude.
“The Chinese are conducting a quiet economic expansion in Iraq and many other countries, particularly in Africa and the Middle East,” Igor Shatrov, deputy director of the National Institute of Modern Ideology Development, told Sputnik China. “China’s influence in the world is increasing with no muscle-flexing [on the part of Beijing] and the US cannot do anything about it, because Western companies can’t offer the same favorable conditions Chinese companies provide…

HIGH COST SPYING AND BETRAYAL: FACEBOOK DOWN $60 BILLION!
Establishment duplicity: When Facebook ‘allowed’ Obama campaign to mine data in 2012, mainstream media, stock market cheered
TRUTH IN MEDIA: TRUTH TRUMPS POWER EVERY TIME!
Facebook, Twitter shares tank in light of Cambridge Analytica exposé
Establishment duplicity: When Facebook ‘allowed’ Obama campaign to mine data in 2012, mainstream media, stock market cheered
Facebook and Twitter both took a beating on the stock market today. By early afternoon, Facebook had lost about $60 billion, or over 11% since its closing price on Friday. Twitter dropped by over 10% or $2.4 billion.
Why?
I would like to think it was because I quit Facebook on Feb 3, and Twitter in mid-2017.

Shielding EMFs found to reduce 90% of symptoms in people with autoimmune disease
Both our consciousness and the functioning of our cellular systems are largely dependent upon electromagnetism, which may be susceptible to distortion by electrosmog. According to research, repetitive exposures result in health risks of electrosmog, as “current evidence indicates that chronic exposure to electromagnetic radiation, at levels that are found in the environment, may particularly affect the immune, nervous, cardiovascular, and reproductive systems”
Revolutionary research has shown that hindering exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) produces significant symptom changes in 90 percent of patients with autoimmune disease. This provides proof that radiation poses innumerable health risks to humans.
A recent study that was published in the peer-reviewed journal Immunologic Research titled “Electrosmog and Autoimmune Disease” enlightens people regarding the validity of concerns regarding this so-called electrosmog.
We encounter electromagnetic radiation on a daily basis in the form of radiation from outer space, the aurora borealis, and thunderstorms. However, most electromagnetic radiation is man-made. Unfortunately, these forms of radiation are also higher in radio frequencies, especially now with the advent of television, cellular phones, and WiFi, all of which use microwave frequency bands.
“The recent release of WiGig and anti-collision vehicle radars in the 60 gigahertz (GHz) region embody a 1,000-fold increase in frequency, and photon energy, over the exposures mankind experienced up until…

Fluorides, the atomic bomb, and fake news
Much of the original “proof” that fluoride is safe for humans in low doses was generated by A-bomb program scientists, who were secretly ordered to provide ‘evidence useful in litigation’ [by persons who had been poisoned by fluoride and would sue for damages]. The first lawsuits against the US A-bomb program were not over radiation, but over fluoride damage.
Fluorides, the atomic bomb, and fake news
Faced with toxic fluorides destroying food crops, animal and human life, and with law suits piling up, atomic scientists decided they could distract the nation by promoting fluorides as a beneficial tooth treatment…

Occasionally, I reprint this article. I wrote it some years ago, during research on toxic chemicals pervading the landscape. I used to send the piece to mainstream reporters, but I eventually gave that up as a bad bet.
They’re dedicated to fake news…and now they’re losing control over public consciousness. Losing badly. Independent media are in the ascendance, and rightly so.
In 1997, Joel Griffiths and Chris Bryson, two respected mainstream journalists, peered into an abyss. They found a story about fluorides that was so chilling it had to be told.
The Christian Science Monitor, who had assigned the story, never published it.
Their…

Vietnam War: Why Johnson Sacked McNamara in 1967
This is What We Do
The Vietnam War
Directed by Ken Burn and Lyn Novick
Film Review
This week, Maori TV showed Episode 5 of the Vietnam War series, which covers 1967. By the end of 1967, over 20,000 Americans had died in Vietnam. In addition to raising taxes, Johnson was forced to gut his war on poverty to help pay for the war.
This episode explains the strategy pursued by US military leadership as well as replaying media footage of key ambushes and interviewing surviving veterans from both the US and Vietnam.Vietnamese veterans talk about the ease of tracking US GIs due to the trail of cigarette butts they left behind.
Many US fatalities stemmed from the use of the M16, viewed by one military analyst as a “piece of shit.” It frequently jammed under jungle conditions and was no match for the Soviet-made AK47 the North Vietnamese Army and the Viet Cong used.
1967 was the year that university students across the US held their first mass anti-Vietnam War protests in New York and Washington DC. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara sent Johnson a private memo advising him the US couldn’t win the Vietnam war. It recommended the President freeze troop levels and cease carpet bombing North Vietnam to bring them to the negotiating table. Johnson promptly appointed him to head the World Bank and installed Clark Clifford as Secretary of Defense. McNamara would remain silent about his reservations about Vietnam for over 20 years.
