In March 2017, Jean Pierre Misago reports for Al Jazeera that violence against immigrants has been on the rise in South Africa.

After bashing her personally and gratuitously all during the campaign last year-- benefactor Comrade Putin hates her-- Señor Trumpanzee welcomed German Chancellor Angela Merkel to the White House today. And that was the best part of American foreign relations this week. Less susceptible to a smiley face was what happened with Trump trying to worm his way out from under his Adderall-fueled tweet about Obama tapping his wires... by blaming the British.
Kellyanne Conway, Donald Trump’s head campaign manager, was the first female campaign manager for a Republican presidential candidate. Not only that, in November 2016, she became the first women ever to run a winning presidential campaign. Parker Lee of the Independent Journal Review writes, “[the] woman who did make history that [election] night seems to have had her […]

(MEE) The US military has admitted that jets from its coalition launched a devastating air attack that led to the deaths of at least 42 people in a mosque in Syria’s Aleppo province.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said missiles hit the mosque in the rebel-held village of al-Jina, south-west of Atarib in the western Aleppo countryside, on Thursday.
I recently came across a news story which struck me as a good example of how to mislead people, probably for political purposes, without saying anything that was not actually true. The title was "Watch out: Mammals shrink when Earth heats up, study says." The story reported evidence that, at a period when global temperatures were high, a number of ancient mammals became smaller—by fourteen percent in one case, by four percent in another.There were two things wrong with the story.
In today’s show originally broadcast on March 17 2017, TBR Radio’s Andrew Carrington Hitchcock interviews Lady Michéle Renouf to discuss her article in the November/December 2016 edition of The Barnes Review entitled, “The Revisionist Heresy.”
We discussed the cases of many different holocaust revisionists, who Lady Michéle has tirelessly supported for many years, along with many other topics.
Incidentally the transcript of Lady Michéle’s article was drafted by The Barnes Review’s editor, John Tiffany, from her YouTube below.
It is not acceptable that EU consumers can only call on a court in California to resolve a dispute. Nor can we accept that users are deprived of their right to withdraw from an online purchase. Social media companies also need to take more responsibility in addressing scams and fraud happening on their platforms.
During the Syrian army’s offensive to retake the eastern part of Aleppo from the insurgent opposition, the Western media portrayed the assault as if Russia and Syria were carrying out a campaign primarily aimed at killing and harming civilians.

Turkey vs European Union…
Turkey’s Hurriyet Daily News reports that Turkey’s Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu threatened to “blow the mind” of Europe by sending 15,000 refugees a month to EU territory.
The dispute between the EU bloc and Erdogan’s Turkey the bloc is intensifying.
The past year, there have been very mixed signals about Bitcoin and virtual currencies from the EU. They range from the opinion that it is too early to regulate, as we cannot tell how they will develop – to demands for mandatory registration of all players and all transactions.
This piece might give you a picture of the current state of the debate: EU Parliament states Virtual Currencies cannot be anonymous »
The diplomatic row between Germany and Turkey, Erdogan and Merkel, sees no sign of letting up.
In what started as a rift over the Germany’s cancellation of Turkish political rallies aimed at gaining support for Erdogan among the 1.5 million Turks living in Germany, has turned into a full blown game of chicken, complete with Hitler references and a pending migrant flood.

Earlier this year reports appeared in the Russian media of a series of arrests of Russian FSB officers and cyber specialists, including one Ruslan Stoyanov, an employee of Russia’s top cyber security company, the Kaspersky Lab.

Of course, we will initiate it, but everything should be […]
My thoughts are this is all related to the desired no fly/safe zone...
-The first phase of a series of multiphase campaigns should prioritize seizing and securing a base of operations in southeastern Syria to create a de facto safe zone in the region.
-Subsequent phases will require establishing a no-fly zone in southern Syria

The agrichemicals industry wallows like an overblown hog in a cesspool of corruption.

NEW YORK— It is run out of a quiet, unassuming office on a tree-lined avenue in Bethesda, Maryland. The rows of hip restaurants are offering young urban professionals all the grande-iced-sugar-free-vanilla-soy-lattes they could ever need. However, this serene suburban idyll belies the fact that serious work for the police state is taking place out of view.

The EU, NATO, and the western alliance have utterly failed the people of eastern Europe. The unrequited love of former Soviet bloc nations is slowly turning to scorn.

The government of Ghana has announced that a statue of Mahatma Gandhi will be removed from its position on the campus of the University of Ghana in Accra after it finally dawned on them that the Indian leader, far from being a “champion of harmony,” was in fact a virulent anti-black racist.
The statue will be removed from its prominent position to a “place of safety,” only a few months after it was unveiled by the Indian President, Shri Prenab Mukhereje, during his state visit to Ghana last year.
February is officially “Black History Month” in America, Britain, and Canada, and it is now commonplace during this month to recycle stories about past “great black civilizations” and “black inventions”—except, as demonstrated below, these claims are all mythical.
The most widely heard claim of a great “past black civilization” is that of ancient Egypt, because of the existence of a number of black, or “Nubian,” pharaohs.
The facts of the matter are as follows: ancient Egypt was founded in 3300 BC, and the Nubians ruled only for a short period between 732 and 664 BC.
