Re: In today's news...

Also, since I remembered a lot of people here are American and don't actually get news except online(And what the heavily biased US media want to show), here's a whole load of articles on what's been going on in Europe lately
Yeah, the Guardian and RT are Russian-controlled media. Far be it from me to suggest that Western news sources are unbiased or accurate, but Eurasia's even worse, IMO, at actually reporting news and not propaganda.

Silly Hope, Guardian is British (Technically, I think)

RT is pretty much just Russia's propaganda though

That said, Cologne was pretty fucked

Looks like I made a mistake--it would seem I misread one of my books. Alexander Lebedev, a former lieutenant colonel in the KGB, acquired a dominating share in a number of British and French news publications, including the London Evening Standard, the Independent, and the France-Soir. The book discusses how the Guardian reported on the acquisition of the publications, but evidently the Guardian was NOT one of them.

With that said, I still maintain that no news source is completely unbiased--there's always going to be a certain level of bullshit to sift through.

The Guardian is somewhat leftist, but nothing out of bounds.

Besides - something that an absolutely baffling amount of people seem to ignore - the trend towards increased authoritarianism in Russia does not come from communism or even the left in general. United Russia has little official ideology, but has described itself as conservative (which doesn't necessarily mean right wing outside of the US, but there ya go). It's basically a "Russian Circlejerk" party, ideology be damned.

In some more positive news, New York Public Library just made a whole bunch of stuff available online:

Re: In today's news...

Some more retardation in the western world


Apparently Britain is a part of Africa now and natively African. Or at least it was before those evil British colonised it(???)
All this because the romans had a legion there that was recruited in Africa


German cops told to ignore refugees committing crime unless the media catches on to a case. Literally a protected class who are de facto allowed to commit crimes without punishment

And of course, since they couldn't do anything because 'they didn't have the manpower' at newyears, they certainly seem to have that manpower once it's about actual Germans protesting



And in more amusing news

Mumbai thief force-fed 48 bananas to excrete stolen gold chain

Not sure if this one is legit, but it amused me enough to post it

Edit: Economy is fucked

First time since the US was colonised, no transport ships in transit between Europe and America

Re: In today's news...

I wonder if air freight is more prevalent now, and it is probably simply cheaper on the US side of things to import from Asia than Europe.

GG Euros and your ridiculous VAT.

Man, David Bowie and Lemmy Kilmister within two weeks or so... This promises to be a shitty year.

And right before the end, 2015 had to get one last parting shot in when the actor who played Trapper John in M*A*S*H died...

ugh, this is awful ;_;

Re: In today's news...

Thought that there were people on the isle long before the Romans came?

Excuse me if I'm wrong as I haven't exactly been a student of British history.

Either way... the fuck does it matter? They were a part of the Roman army, making them Roman, who cares what skin color they had?

OH! THEY WERE BLACK? I see now, that's totally relevant. Because Caucasians should be ASHAMED and personally responsible for what people who had a similar shade of skin did to other people with a different shade of skin, how many years ago? Yes it was bad, and it is everyone's duty to make sure that it doesn't happen again, but unless you've felt the lash of a whip you shouldn't be bitching about slavery.

At this rate, in a hundred years or so, everyone that ever did anything good will be a rainbow, while those who suffered unjustly will be the newest prevailing minority that feels they're entitled to something.

I'm sorry but I'm getting tired of this whole song and dance that seems to be coming from a growing group of people that believe that feelings and appearance outweigh facts and reality. That is something I just cannot stomach, in all but the most extreme cases (feeling that your life is threatened, constant emotional/mental assault) feelings do not outweigh logic and reason.

Don't forget
That legion?
They left and moved on to serve somewhere else after they served at Hadrian's wall. Since it's literally an army and they moved around a whole lot to go to where they were needed

So it's not like they settled in Britain
Also, "Africa" in Roman times meant mostly Carthage, which are a semetic people. So no, they weren't black either. At the darkest maybe a light brown or dark olive.

Also, more on that German stuff

Nationalists giving out pepper spray for the safety of women, and at the same time spreading their message

And the same thing as happened in Cologne happened in Sweden, of course covered up by the cops as well

Or at least, they're accused of it. Which wouldn't surprise me with the massive amount of immigrants Sweden took in and them being the rape capital of the western world

World's fucked

Re: In today's news...

Haha, see? They've even gotten to me.

All I can say about this rape stuff is yay! It's coming to America! I can't wait to see the news about 'racists' going out an beating on poor Syrian refugees because they're Muslim. Not, ya know, defending the women that they're trying to rape. Or how EVEN women are joining the anti-muslim hate groups, stabbing Muslim men, who were just trying to help them in a dark alley in the middle of the night honest!

30 'neo-nazis' have vandalised a kebab shop

Of course, media immediately blames Pegida for it because they had a protest close by
It's fucked, I'd be surprised and kinda disappointed if this doesn't end in the arrest of a few pro-immigrant politicians and putting them on trial for this stuff. Or them being forcibly driven out of the country.

So you know, at least they're not rolling over and just lubing up for the immigrants

Also, biker gangs hunting immigrants

This could have been prevented, but cops thought it was best to try keeping things silent, and politicians thought it was a great idea to get mass immigration going

Edit: I keep finding fun stuff

American cops using a similar score system to calculate what citizens would be 'bad citizens' whenever they're called to something of a domestic incident or similar
In one way, this is just a faster way of doing it than telling some cops to look through someone's facebook.
In another, there is no oversight whatsoever and nobody has a clue how stuff like saying you hate someone on social media is weighed against actual recorded crimes

And Hillary investigated for official crimes that may(?) disqualify her from being president

If they want to get in a tissy about that, I'll just point out that I'm getting tired of seeing thing after thing where BBC is stuffed into my face on porn sites. There, now we're even.
