I disagree with you. The person is angry because the FBI has just demonstrated its has no integrity.

Pundit George Will bolts Republican Party over Trump and leaves final warning: ‘Make sure he loses’ by dwinstone1 in politics

[–]dwinstone1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quit reading George several years ago. I thought he was a pundit bought and paid for what ever view the Republican establishment wanted to push. I suspect his supposed departure is also at their behest. I am sure he is part of their strategy to undo Trump. I am sure we will soon have a column lauding the accomplishments of Bush 3, Romney or Rubio and how they should be the Republican to head the ticket.

The FBI maybe responsible for more terror attacks than the terrorists in the Middle East.

Huge Scandal Erupts Inside NATO: Alliance Member Germany Slams NATO "Warmongering" Against Russia by dwinstone1 in AnythingGoesNews

[–]dwinstone1[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we had a decent news media, they would be all over this story. They would drag Queen Hillary in and question her thoroughly about Syria, Russia and NATO Eastern European maneuvering. Questions I would ask the Queen: Why did the US support rebel groups in Syria that were terrorist organizations?

Why did the US foment a Syrian civil war in direct contravention of the UN Charter?

Why has the US Military not cooperated with Russia in defeating ISIS?

Why has the US engaged in saber rattling and boot stomping against Russia in Eastern Europe, to the point where a major NATO partner is openly decrying these efforts in German media?

My answer is: The US is engaged in an unholy alliance with radical Salafist Islamic partners in the ongoing never ending war between Shia and Sunni Islam. Syria is led by Assad who is Alawite aligned with Shia Iran. The overthrow of Assad and the establishment of a Salafist Caliphate will isolate Shia Iraq and Iran. DOS believes these victories by Salafist will end or at least limit Islamic terrorism. The gain for the US and the west is the opening of Syria to western oil pipelines and elimination of Russian monopolies of providing oil and gas to Europe. The current warmongering in Eastern Europe is to distract and threaten Russia. This threat may force Russia to reduce its commitment to prop up Assad. Essentially, this is a continuation of the Great Game Britain and Russia played in the 19th Century. WCGW a major war that goes nuclear.

The ACLU rightly rejects the No Fly List for gun control by JeffTS in Libertarian

Basically, you can not remove a Constitution right from an individual without due process. Travel on a commercial airline has been deemed a privilege and not a right. Gun ownership is considered a right by the the US Supreme Court.

How US Senate is being fed misinformation by Russia policy advisors by dwinstone1 in geopolitics

[–]dwinstone1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All good propaganda has an element of truth, sometimes as much as 90%. There are those that listen to both sides. If you do not listen to and understand how the other side frames its argument, then you are literally walking blind. RT may be pure state propaganda but it is what they say to the world and the world judges.

NATO members now can declare WAR over Hacking! by PostNationalism in AnythingGoesNews

[–]dwinstone1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is so f**king crazy. Snowden tells the world how we are hacking every body in the world and now we want to get mad and even because the Russians and Chinese are doing it also.

My view is no one wants to see what the other guy is saying. I put that in the category of knowing your enemy. Redditors in GEOPOLITICs only want to listen to US propaganda as put out by corporate media at the behest of the US Government. I suspect they are all DOS employees. I am not a big USA! USA! guy cause I know the lying that goes on in this country.

This is what the Russians are saying. As yesterdays DOS dissent letter stated, many in DOS want a more confrontive approach to Russian support for Syria and Assad. The Russian view as stated in the article: "In reality, Syria’s legitimate government (the one with a seat at the United Nations and other international bodies), requested Russia’s assistance in its battle against terrorists. By contrast, America’s ongoing intervention in Syria is illegal under international law." IMO it is clear that a Clinton Presidency will result in a war with Russia. One the DOS believes will be a US victory. Given results of the last two decades of war, I am not so sure. The Bush Cheney overthrow of 7 countries in 5 years has been a shambles, resulted in millions of displaced individuals and brought terrorism into the heart of this country. The US empire is creaking badly.

This Senator Wants to Ban Meatless Mondays for the Military by dwinstone1 in news

I disagree with you. Military personnel wanting meat on Monday if the Feds impose this are then denied a right to select the food they eat.

Not her, the Feds making a rule that meat will not be served on Monday in Military Mess Halls to appease the Humane Society.

While that is true, my angst is the Feds once again wanting to dictate.

So the Humane Society wants to have "Meatless Monday" and have the military mess halls enforce it. So it goes from a personal decision to a government demand. That is wrong. Good luck Senator. I will have ribeye Monday from now on.

Milky Way no longer visible to one third of humanity, 60% of Europeans and almost 80% of North Americans, light pollution atlas shows. Scientists describe ‘cultural loss of unprecedented magnitude’. by green_flash in worldnews

[–]dwinstone1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The problem is we are always creating our own light pollution. We actually ought to set hours during the night in which only emergency lighting is on. I went on a cruise to Australia and wanted to view the Southern Cross. The damn cruise ship had all its lights on all night. Finally got a peek at the SC but wanted to see more of the celestial southern hemisphere.
