Tories used deceptive ads
9 June 2017
The Tories have used dishonest and deceptive ads to falsely criticize Corbyn.
Pollution in the Inland Empire of California
9 June 2017
With constantly growing warehouse space, the Inland Empire of California is getting more and more polluted with increasing truck traffic.
How about building a railroad to carry cargo to the Los Angeles area?
Big bully inspires young bullies
9 June 2017
The big bully is inspiring students all around the US to bully students from all sorts of minority groups.
Schools should tell students that Trump is a bully, that it's wrong to do what he does, and if he were a student he would be told to stop or else be sent home.
Provoking uprisings in England
9 June 2017
An armed rebellion in England 200 years ago was provoked by an undercover government agent sent by contemptuous Tories.
It's amazing how many things are still the same today.
Gianforte apologized for attack
9 June 2017
Gianforte apologized at length for attacking reporter Ben Jacobs.
It is chilling to realize that many Republicans today wouldn't apologize for attacking a reporter or a dissident.
Attack on Iran
9 June 2017
Just after Iran suffered an act of Islamist terrorism, the US plans to put more sanctions on it.
Iran supports terrorism through the fatwa against Salman Rushdie, but compared to what Salafi Arabia does, and has done, that's minuscule.
Teenage brides in South Sudan
9 June 2017
In South Sudan, teenage girls are sold by their families as brides in exchange for cows. Once married they are subject to violence.
Nothing will enable all the children to survive in a violent place where families have seven children. It's up to rich countries to provide women in South Sudan with the birth control they need to avoid that.
Printer tracking
9 June 2017
The tracking dots code that identifies printers gives the US government tremendous power to identify people for any reason. Since this power was established secretly, we have to worry that other kinds of devices have secretly been redesigned to spy on everyone.
Snowden and the Espionage Act
9 June 2017
Snowden explains how the Espionage Act unfairly stacks the deck against Reality Winner.
Pleading for Brazil
9 June 2017
Brazilian tribal leader tours Europe to plead for help to stop killings and land grabs.
Blackwhiting
9 June 2017
The troll's lawyer demands an investigation of Comey for "leaking" with his testimony.
The troll's overall response is a general campaign of blackwhiting. (See 1984 for the definition of "blackwhiting".)
Urgent: Fossil fuel tax
8 June 2017
US citizens: call on Congress to eliminate fossil fuel tax breaks.
Urgent: Campaign contributions
8 June 2017
US citizens: call on plutocratist Democrats to give away the campaign contributions they received from Kushner and anyone else connected with the troll.
Thugs robbing protesters in Venezuela
8 June 2017
Venezuela's opposition says that thugs are robbing protesters.
I believe the accusations, but they probably have nothing directly to do with President Maduro. Thugs in Venezuela have been crooked since long before Chavez. He was unable to make them stop, but neither could anyone else.
While Chavez was president, the head of a state agency I worked with told me he had been (in effect) held for ransom by thugs, who stopped him as he was driving and made up charges against him on the spot. The fact that he was the head of a state agency didn't help him to escape.
Troll causes trouble for US base in Qatar
8 June 2017
The infant caused a lot of trouble by insulting the ruler of Qatar while a major US base is located there.
Civilian casualties from US bombings
8 June 2017
Civilian casualties from US bombing in Syria and Iraq have gone way up due to the troll's changes in policies.
Indeed, we don't really know how many they are, only a lower bound for them.
Food charity faces prosecution
8 June 2017
A charity that feeds people with rejected food faces prosecution for using food that has past its sell-by date.
That's an absurd excuse: food does not become unsafe after that date, nor even unpalatable.
NSA made world vulnerable
8 June 2017
The NSA made the world vulnerable to WannaCry by saving up bugs to use for attack rather than getting them fixed.
Humans' need for nature
8 June 2017
Humans need nature both biologically and psychologically. But we are wiping it out.
"Conservatism"
8 June 2017
Stop Legitimizing 'Conservatism': It's Not an Ideology — It's a Goddamn Death Machine.
I have to point out that many of the Western ideas of human rights are not thousands of years old: they were formulated in the 1700s, or even later. However, that doesn't invalidate the point.
Bank fraud in the UK
8 June 2017
A scheme to compensate victims of bank fraud in the UK is so sloppy that one of the victims says it is a "sham".
US knew UN forces brought cholera to Haiti
8 June 2017
The US under Obama knew early on that cholera was introduced to Haiti by the UN coup-maintaining forces, and covered it up to shield the UN from criticism.
Photos published by US thug departments
8 June 2017
US thug departments photograph everyone they arrest, and often publish the photos directly to sites that use them for a sort of extortion.
The term "intellectual property"
8 June 2017
An example of the total confusion and nonsense that results if you suppose that the term "intellectual property" has a concrete meaning.
Here's why it doesn't have one.
Russian crackers plant false news story
8 June 2017
US agencies say that Russian crackers planted a false news story which led to economic warfare between Salafi Arabia and Qatar.
It seems that the US agencies want to avoid the economic warfare, while the troll desired it.
Malaysian state disappeared foreigners
8 June 2017
The Malaysian state has disappeared foreigners that were trying to preach second-class religions in Malaysia.
Malaysia is definitively opposed to religious freedom, in particular for anyone who was at one time a Muslim, or for anyone of Malay descent (since the state presumes they are all Muslims regardless of what they say).
Fast-track deportation
8 June 2017
The troll's fast-track deportation court, inside an immigration prison,speeds deportation by making it difficult for the prisoners to get legal representation or advice. Their families can't find them, let alone find them lawyers, and they don't know whether their relatives are alive or dead.
Fleeing to Mexico
8 June 2017
Many women in Central America flee to Mexico to escape husbands that want to kill them. They have no other place to look for safety.
Turkey arrests lawyers
8 June 2017
Erdoğan has arrested 23 lawyers, including the local head of Amnesty International, on the vague accusation that they have ties with Gülen.
The claim seems implausible in the case of someone who works for Amnesty International, but that's a side issue. Merely having some sort of relationship with Gülen's system of religious schools would not be valid grounds to arrest someone.
Untreated sewage in the Mediterranean
8 June 2017
Israel has blocked electricity for Gaza, so its wastewater treatment plants are shut down. The intense pollution of the Mediterranean by untreated sewage has spread to Israel's coast and is making desalination plants shut down, thus leaving Israel short of water.
Refusing Muslim terrorist funerals
8 June 2017
British Muslim clerics are showing their disgust for Muslim terrorists by refusing to carry out funerals for them.
US persecuting whistleblowers
8 June 2017
The US government persecutes even legal whistleblowers, because the laws against retaliation have gaps and are hard to enforce.
NSA investigated Russian election interference
8 June 2017
A leaked document shows that the NSA investigated apparent Russian attempts to take control of some US voting systems before the 2016 election.
Assuming this document was not intended as a red herring, it means that the NSA is sincere about suspecting Russian sabotage attempts.
The person who leaked the document is Reality Winner, who will probably be imprisoned for 10 years for it.
If it takes the knowledge and careful planning of a Snowden to leak documents to the public and not be imprisoned, we won't have enough whistleblowers, and that turns democracy into an empty shell.
Snowden: prosecution of an alleged source for journalism on a charge of "espionage" is a threat to the free press.
Maybe that's why the troll did it. He is against almost everything that protects Americans from his own power.
I think The Intercept showed bad practices in handling the letter it received. It should have shredded the envelope before reading what was inside.
UK face recognition
8 June 2017
UK thugs picked someone out of a crowd using automatic face recognition. We are one step closer to an irresistible tyranny.
Urgent: call on Congress to eliminate fossil fuel tax breaks
8 June 2017
US citizens: call on Congress to eliminate fossil fuel tax breaks.
Planet-roaster governments spending less on renewable energy
8 June 2017
Planet-roaster governments are spending less on renewable energy, but new capacity is increasing fast because the construction costs have dropped.
We now produce 24% of electricity using renewable methods, but we need to produce around 100% that way. That means an increase in capacity of 300% of the present total. And since electricity is only a part of our use of fossil fuels, we need to increase capacity even more to replace fossil fuels for trapsport.
That means we have a long way to go, and we don't have a long time to do it.
We need to smash the dominion of the fossil fools before they kill us.
Migrant workers put on trial
8 June 2017
Thailand has put Burmese migrant workers on trial for complaining about the horrible working conditions imposed on them.
By accusing them of theft of a timecard, which they presented as evidence, the Thai state shows it is a state of repression that has no shame.
I urge people not to visit Thailand except for important humanitarian reasons.

In the UK, 1/3 of workers have insecure working situations
8 June 2017
In the UK, 1/3 of workers have insecure working situations and don't know if they will be able to pay their bills the next week. This is what unethical eployers want.
I am looking for people to help webmasters of various sites (not related to me or GNU) make simple but substantial changes in their web sites — for instance, to use the GNU Project's recommended terminology.
Arms industry buying votes
7 June 2017
The US arms industry effectively buys the votes of senators deciding whether to approve an arms sale to a repressive theocratic regime such as Salafi Arabia.
Should we condemn individual senators for selling their votes, or the system that pressures them to do this?
Both! Of course, both!
We can forgive people who are in positions of weakness for yielding to the pressures of the system, except when they do something egregious. However, someone as powerful as a senator can never plead, "the system made me do it."
Marijuana tax venue
7 June 2017
Colorado is doing lots of good with the 100 million dollars of tax revenue from marijuana.
Emotional manipulation
7 June 2017
Tobin Smith, formerly on the O'Reilly program on Faux News, says that the "debates" were always rigged, and that the shows were calculated for emotional manipulation of the audience.
Oil extraction explosions
7 June 2017
The troll wants to authorize using explosions in the Atlantic Ocean (the sound from which will deafen whales at great distances) to find oil to extract, thus helping to wipe out most ocean life and replace it with plastic.
That's typical extractivist behavior -- use up the world as fast as possible and never mind what does or doesn't remain afterwards.
War against our children
7 June 2017
The troll, and Republicans, are waging war against our children. Even children can see this.
Tackling extremism
7 June 2017
Tariq Ramadan: We Will Not Tackle Extremism by Stigmatising Muslim Citizens.
Middle East studies professorship
7 June 2017
California State University was given an endowed chair of Middle East studies in the name of Edward Said, but decided not to appoint anyone due to pressure from supporters of Israel.
We know this from the dean that had the courage to resign in response.
Air traffic control
7 June 2017
The troll wants to privatize US air traffic control. The company will cut corners, such as using less skilled people as controllers, and the result will be fatal from time to time.

The troll's incompetence
7 June 2017
The troll's incompetence fits with his leanings toward autocracy.
The incompetence can ruin the US, and its political system, but won't stop him from getting what he wants most.
Imaginary legal strategy
7 June 2017
Barrett Brown reports how US government agencies habitually twist or disregard the laws they are supposed to follow.
Paris agreement
7 June 2017
As the US fails to carry out the Paris agreement, it makes climate action desperately urgent to avoid incredible heating.
Corbyn was and is right
7 June 2017
Corbyn, in 2003, warned that invading Iraq was unjustified and would provoke terrorism. Just recently he pointed out that we had better stop doing more of the same.
Deadly hurricane season
7 June 2017
Americans need NOAA to track hurricanes, and FEMA to help out when they hit. The troll has not bothered to nominate a saboteur to run them, and instead wants to cut their budget.
The states where hurricanes tend to hit usually vote Republican. If he causes a disaster there, he will alienate lots of Republicans. That would be a good outcome, but it's a shame if the path there goes through a disaster.
Democrat withdraws
7 June 2017
The Democrat running against Republican Stephen King has withdrawn due to death threats, as well as Republican budget cuts imposed on the state agency she works for.
Once Republicans see that this is effective, they will do it over and over, in effect stealing elections by threats. Surely there is a way to find funds for protecting her.
Bricked iThings
7 June 2017
Apple faces trial in Australia for bricking devices because they had had an "unauthorized" repair.
Lib Dems condemn surveillance
7 June 2017
The leader of UK's Liberal Democrats condemned massive surveillance as a foolish and dangerous response to occasional terrorism.
"Theresa May's 'enough is enough' risks making the extremist threat worse."
Salafi dispute with Qatar
7 June 2017
Salafi Arabia and some other Arab countries have cut off trade and relations with Qatar. The troll's regime seems to be pushing Salafi Arabia to do this.
Reportedly this is because Qatar supports the Muslim Brotherhood which Salafi Arabia' monarchy hates. The other countries involved are obeying Salafi Arabia, except perhaps for Egypt's military rulers that hate the Muslim Brotherhood for other reasons.
Maybe it is really about the campaign to demonize Iran.
Any form of Islamist rule shows contempt for human rights. All the regimes involved in this dispute are unjust, though the details vary. But is there any rational reason for Americans to consider the Muslim Brotherhood or Iran worse than Salafism? I don't see one.
The Six-Day War
7 June 2017
Israeli leaders in 1967 had no intention of ever letting go of the West Bank that Israel had just conquered. The first colony there was set up just months after the war.
In regard to launching the war, even though Israel did not know whether Egypt and Syria would attack, that danger was real. If Israel had waited to be attacked, by enemies with much larger armies, it could have lost. By attacking first, Israel took the benefit of surprise away from its enemies. Under the circumsances, that was justified.
Donations to rival parties
7 June 2017
A Chinese billionaire donates to at least two rival Australian political parties. One senator seems to take a friendly stance towards China in exchange for donations.

US insurance companies offer customers gratis "smart" security and economy devices, but you should not trust them.

Protecting a librarian

Evanston's library board wants to fire librarian Lesley Williams for criticizing the library's discriminatory practices. The community is rallying to protect her.
The price-gouging Epipen
7 June 2017
Mylan, maker of the price-gouging Epipen, cheated the US government by claiming it was a generic drug.
If we had a national health service and it negotiated the price with each company, we wouldn't get gouged on drugs. Americans, support the candidates that advocate this change.

Right-wing bigots are threatening lynching, by leaving nooses as tokens of their hatred.

A teenager who got rid of social networks is delighted to have time for other activities, and glad not to be bothered by "friends" that didn't really like him.
Very urgent: Pacte du Logiciel Libre
6 June 2017
Citizens of France: ask your candidates for elected office to sign the Pacte du Logiciel Libre.
Inequality in Indonesia
6 June 2017
A survey in Indonesia found that nearly everyone believed that per household was near the median income. They gravely underestimate the inequality that really exists.
This causes real harm because people don't demand that the state act to reduce the inequality.
They also overestimate their chances of getting wealthier than they are. However, social mobility means that some get wealthier and some get poorer. Increased social mobility is no excuse for leaving some people in poverty. What we need is not more reshuffling of people on the income scale, but to make the lives of the poorest better.
Floods in Missouri
6 June 2017
Floods in Missouri illustrate the damage that global heating is already doing.
Cancer in Louisiana
6 June 2017
Residents of Louisiana, near chemical plants, often get cancer. The troll will surely help companies make more generations sick.
Love for the second amendment

"Do you love your interpretation of the second amendment more than you love your kids?"
Circular economy
6 June 2017
The "circular economy" would mean systematically reusing products instead of turning them into waste.
Reproducibility crisis in science
6 June 2017
Tackling the reproducibility crisis in science.
It is of course an oversimplification to say that the state of science at any particular time gives us "the truth". What science does is provide a systematic method to correct errors over time. As an area becomes heavily studied, for example global heating and (even more so) evolution, the remaining errors get to be fewer and smaller.
I think we need universities to stop judging people by how often they publish in "high-impact" journals.
Sabotaging the EPA
6 June 2017
EPA staff says that the troll's saboteurs have effectively wrecked its efforts to curb global heating.

Selling the UK forests
5 June 2017
The Tories plan to sell all state-owned forests in the UK.
"This includes many royal forests, state-owned ancient woodlands, sites of special scientific interest, heathland, campsites, farms and sporting estates."
"Tories" and "trees" sound similar but are actually opposite.
Macedonia and Russian interference
5 June 2017
Leaked documents appear to say what Macedonia's intelligence agency has learned about Russia's efforts to interfere in its politics. The goal has been to keep Macedonia out of NATO and away from the West.
Global heating

Companies such as Dow and Corning try to have it both ways on global heating.
Ocean bottom mining
5 June 2017
Mining the ocean bottom could destroy ecosystems if we are not careful.
Trawling the bottom for seafood already destroys ecosystems, and we have not made much progress in stopping that practice.
Montana law
5 June 2017
A new Montana law is a step forward in limiting the state's access to people's digital messages stored in service providers.
However, it doesn't apply to metadata, and it won't protect whistleblowers. This approach is fundamentally inadequate. We need systems to be designed so they don't collect personal data.

Different prices for different customers
5 June 2017
Even supermarkets are starting to demand different prices from different customers, based on secret algorithms.
I wonder what they will do to people like me, that don't carry a portable tracking device.
I wonder what will happen when customer A sees price P on the price display on the shelf, because customer B is nearby at that moment, then gets charged a higher price.
Defamation
5 June 2017
Raimundos Oki, a journalist in East Timor, has been found not guilty of defamation.
It is an injustice to make defamation a crime, because that chills journalism. The prosecutors seem to be trying to achieve that very result.
Journalist imprisoned for asking question
5 June 2017
Journalist Mohamed Adan Dirir was imprisoned in Somaliland for asking an inconvenient question in a press conference.
Somaliland is a part of what was once Somalia. It avoids the Islamist terrorism that plagues most of Somalia, but that doesn't mean human rights are respected.
Possession of child porn
5 June 2017
In the US, people convicted for having copies of child pornography tend to get longer prison sentences than those convicted of having sex with children.
Mere possession of child pornography should not be a crime at all. To prosecute people for possessing something published, no matter what it may be, is a big threat to human rights.
US sanctions against Russia
5 June 2017
The troll tried to eliminate US sanctions against Russia as soon as he got into office. The effort was blocked by some employees at the State Department.
They were joined by SCROTUS, which supports the neocons that want too much hostility with Russia.
Senate report of CIA torture
5 June 2017
The troll told some federal agencies to return to the senate their copies of the secret Senate report on CIA torture. This is part of a plan to destroy it and make sure that its conclusions are forgotten.
This would be impossible if the report had been published, as it should have been.

The NHS
5 June 2017
A victim of a drive-into terrorist attack is suing the rental company from which the vehicle was rented.
The company cannot be held responsible for what the renter did with the vehicle. The victim does deserve help, but the right way to help such people is through the National Health Service, not through lawsuits.
After what the Tories have done to the NHS, I suppose that the needed help is not available there. The right way to deal with that is to make the NHS do its job again.

Bias of US politics
