Fighting Back Against Fake News

  1. Why do you name so many countries (Israel, USA) that you have issues with yet you refuse to name which country you are from? Why are you so afraid to share this? Why is it such a big deal to you if someone asks you where you are from?

    Can you share why you decided to learn English? What motivated you? Do you feel that English is the language of the oppressor?

    Can you answer this simple question, what do you think is the best run nation on Earth right now? Sure, no place is perfect but what is an example of a good country in your opinion????

  2. Actually, much of the crime in Japan is caused by Nigerian nationals who are foreigners to Japan. They mainly center around Roppongi/Kabukicho area of Tokyo.

    There have been multiple issues with Muslims in Switzerland and elsewhere through out Europe.

    So "missappropriated oil" is an excuse for Muslims in Germany to rape people? You are a lousy Muslim apologist obviously. What did Sweden do to deserve all of the problems that Muslims created there? Even Merkel is having buyers remorse from allowing so many in.

    Sure blame the USA if you want for being so big and bad and stealing oil but what did hell did Sweden do to deserve all of the Islamic created problems?

    Zzzz1 is a Paki or Turk or Armenian. If you are Iranian then go shave your mother's hairy upper lip and your sister's back! hahahahhaha

    Germany.

    Every country has its fair share of issues, nothing is perfect. Germany seems to have invited too many refugees, more than it can handle. But in the grand scheme of things when you look at all other metrics, it seems to be a pretty well run country. I don't know a place on earth, other than developing nations, where consumer products are cheaper, and I talk about it broadly, from cars, through utilities, to food items. Educational standards are very high, health care tops most any other country, the country is mostly united rather than utterly split as the US, there are a few right wingers but their number is so small that Merkel has nothing to fear even after having committed a pretty grave mistake. The country has a top infrastructure which tops almost anything in the US, efficient airports and harbors, roads, hospitals, schools,... Then it's a pretty safe country. Yes there are incidences these days and they involve immigrants and foreigners more than not. As said, there are problems in Germany too. But nobody walks around shooting others. You can't look at the past 2 years and say Germany is dangerous because a few Muslims commit crimes. Yes I agree they pose a problem but again, in the grand scheme of things it's a pretty darn safe place to live and raise kids. Quality of jobs is overall very good, very good pay all the way down to the janitor. A tax system that assures society is pretty evened out, the contrast between rich and poor is not as pronounced as in most other developed nations. The list goes on but I guess you get the drift.

    Of course i expect some dumb Hitler or nazi comments re Germany's past but hey, what do I care. You must say what you must say. You asked me and Germany would be my top pick. Don't worry. In case this was your lame attempt at getting out of me where i am from, this ain't it

    Donors Flock to Liberal Journalism Nonprofits After Trump Victory
    By Alatheia Nielsen | December 14, 2016 | 4:13 PM EST
    [​IMG]Since comedian John Oliver recommended people donate to the liberal journalism site ProPublica, donations have been pouring in, according to The New York Times.

    The Times also reported that nonprofit journalism in general has seen a spike in donations (especially small ones) since Donald Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States. But The Times failed to note that every outlet they mentioned in their Dec. 7 report were funded by left-wing organizations.

    In fact, the nearest The Times came to revealing the nonprofits’ liberal ties was simply saying the donors and audience “tend to lean to the left.”

    All The Times stated was that nonprofit executives didn’t know whether their donors were motivated by a “partisan response to the election” or a “broader concern over the viability of a troubled industry.” The report also cited that Laura Walker, President of New York Public Radio, and “others” said it was “not their role to be partisan” despite their donors’ views.

    But three of the four outlets named by The Times — the Center for Public Integrity, The Marshall Project (which focuses on criminal justice), and ProPublica —are liberal. The fourth, WNYC Radio (the flagship station for New York Public Radio), has received millions from liberal organizations.

    All four groups share liberal donors like the Ford Foundation, the Park Foundation, Open Society Foundations (run by George Soros), and various Rockefeller groups.

    DONATE
    Since the election, The Times revealed, donations to these liberal nonprofits have increased significantly. Individual donations to Center for Public Integrity are “up about 70 percent compared to the same time last year,” while the Marshall Project donor pool is “up 20 percent since the election.”

    ProPublica likewise hauled in $750,000 from small donors since the election, surpassing the $500,000 “raised from small-dollar donors in all of 2015,” and at one point, “ProPublica was receiving as many as four donations a minute.”

    WNYC, meanwhile, brought in $3.25 million in its October fundraising campaign — “the largest in public radio history,” and since the election, donations have come “at two or three times the normal rate,” The Times reported.

    Right, because I dared to criticize Israel? Give us a break. Whenever anyone speaks out the truth that Israel acts/acted illegally at times, counter many United Nations and The Hague conventions such person is attacked and called a Nazi?

    MORE FAKE NEWS FROM THE LEFT
    About 90 percent of the time that you hear about a “hate crime” on a college campus, it is later discovered to have been a hoax. And the other 10 percent of the time the culprit is not some vagabond Klan member or genuine Nazi, but a psychologically troubled kid seeking attention. As David Burge (“Iowahawk”) observed on Twitter, it’s odd that so many expressions of “hate speech” are showing up as graffiti in Brooklyn rather than in Alabama and Mississippi.

    But where would the left be without hate crimes to validate its prejudices about what it sees as hopelessly retrograde America (especially those “flyover” parts)? The demagogic Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) would be out of business. And a nice business it is, too. According to the SPLC’s 2014 IRS Form 990, total revenues that year were $54 million, and the two top executives were each paid nearly $400,000 in total compensation.

    And what about acts of violence against Trump supporters, which have happened on a wide scale since the election? Turns out the SPLC left out all of those in its recent report on post-election hate crimes. The New York Post reported last week:

    At least 2,000 educators around the country reported racist slurs and other derogatory language leveled against white students in the first days after Donald Trump was elected president. But the group that surveyed the teachers didn’t publish the results in its report on Trump-related “hate crimes.”

    The Southern Poverty Law Center partnered with the American Federation of Teachers, which formally endorsed Hillary Clinton, to circulate the questionnaire among its 1.6 million mostly Democratic members. The survey was sent out to K-12 teachers and administrators who subscribe to its “Teaching Tolerance” newsletter.

    The SPLC’s widely cited report — “The Trump Effect: The Impact of the 2016 Presidential Election on Our Nation’s Schools” — reported that 40 percent of the more than 10,000 educators who responded to the survey “have heard derogatory language directed at students of color, Muslims, immigrants and people based on gender or sexual orientation.”

    Meanwhile, remember the story of the Muslim woman who claimed she was attacked on the New York subway by three Trump-chanting white men? I was pretty certain at the time that this would turn out to be a hoax, and wish I had predicted it here. And guess what?

    MANHATTAN — An 18-year-old Muslim college student who claimed three men screaming “Donald Trump!” attacked her on a Manhattan subway platform is being charged with filing a false report after admitting she made up the incident, sources told DNAinfo New York.

    Yasmin Seweid, a Baruch College student, told police that she boarded a uptown No. 6 train at East 23rd St. on Dec. 1 and was called a “terrorist” by three drunken young white men.

    She also claimed that when she moved to the other end of the train, one of the men followed her and tried to pull off her hajib before she fled.

    But investigators who spent significant NYPD resources trying to verify her story were unable to find any witnesses to the incident or video that could corroborate her story, sources said.

    Seweid finally recanted Tuesday, saying she misguidedly made up the tale to get attention because she was having issues with her family at home.

    What was that again about “fake news”?

  10. I won't attack you and say you are a "Nazi" because you listed Germany. Thank you for naming a country.

    I read a few comments that said you are "volpunter". I don't know who that is but I did some research and it appears that person got banned for trolling and for being a registered sex offender a.k.a. a convicted pedophile. "volpunter" is a Brit who loves going to Thailand and other Asian countries. The ladyboys and young boys appear to really love volpunter.

    Do you agree that volpunter was a terrible asshole who is into children? Give me your opinion on "volpunter" to prove that you are not this person. You already said that this is your only alias ever on elite trader.

    I have no reason to doubt you, please confirm that you are a person of honor and denounce the terrible racist pedophile known as "volpunter".
