‘Israel’ has conclusively lost the debate in Western popular culture By Robert Inlakesh | Al Mayadeen | April 10, 2024 As the Israeli regime pursues a policy of inflicting mass starvation inside the Gaza Strip, after having failed to defeat any of the Palestinian Resistance factions in battle, it can now be stated with confidence that they have lost the public relations battle decisively.

How Big a Factor is Iran in the War on Gaza?
How Big a Factor is Iran in the War on Gaza? By Ted Snider | The Libertarian Institute | April 10, 2024 In both Ukraine and Gaza, the Joe Biden administration has adopted the dangerous doctrine of war management in which, while not stopping a war diplomatically, it attempts to contain it and prevent it from becoming a wider war into which the United States might get drawn. This difficult to calibrate policy is being threatened in both theaters.
The CIA Wants More Power to Spy on Americans!
The CIA Wants More Power to Spy on Americans! By Judge Andrew Napolitano | April 11, 2024 Americans need to be aware of the unbridled propensity of federal intelligence agencies to spy on all of us without search warrants as required by the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. These agencies believe that the Fourth Amendment — which protects the individual right to privacy — only regulates law enforcement and does not apply to domestic spying.

#BizTrends2021: Creativity and technology, the best of both in 2021
Whenever it comes to discussions around digital media, I sometimes feel like I'm coming across as a bit of a Luddite. So, it's important to state at the outset that I think technology plays a significant role in advertising media and it has the potential to add exponential value. But I also feel it’s important to point out that some digital media has also failed us and it’s not the panacea for all our marketing ails.
Dems should make the GA runoffs a referendum on a specific dollar amount of Covid relief
Democrats can win by turning out voters for specific Covid relief funds they & their communities will get if Democrats have 51 votes in the Senate. Democrats can win by making the Georgia runoffs a referendum on a specific dollar amount of individual (or household) new Covid relief that the House passes in the next few weeks — and a referendum on its obstruction by GOP incumbents Loeffler and Perdue.
Laos After the Bombs
In April 2012, Nengyong Yang, a farmer in Laos, was cutting a tree in his field, preparing to plant corn. As Nengyong was hacking away, a bomb lodged in the trunk of the tree exploded in his face. Nengyong survived, but lost both his eyesight and his ability to provide for his wife and four children. Two months later, his wife found his lifeless body hanging from a tree.
Nixon and the Cambodian Genocide
On April 17, 1975, Khmer Rouge (KR) forces stormed Phnom Penh and reestablished Cambodia as Democratic Kampuchea — a supposedly self-sufficient, entirely agrarian society. Resetting the clock to “Year Zero,” the KR forced urban dwellers to the countryside, and began to “purify” Cambodia through a genocidal purge of intellectuals and minority groups.
South Africa: Creativity Is the Currency of the Future
Whether you're manufacturing widgets or building brands, the more technologically advanced we become, the more important creativity will become.

#BizTrends2019: Creativity is the currency of the future
I never like to weigh in on trends or predictions because, among many other reasons I've given before, human beings are generally awful at predicting the future. Brett Morris, group CEO of FCB Africa. Of course, there is never a shortage of soothsayers peddling portents of doom or glorious gain, but the future they espouse is generally filled with the thing that they happen to be selling.
Nixon and the Cambodian Genocide
But Pol Pot’s rise to power, the Cambodian genocide, and the absence of justice for the KR’s victims are inseparable from broader US intervention policies in Indochina from 1945–1991 — in particular, the US’s vicious bombing campaign waged against Cambodia. Pol Pot , the leader of the KR from 1963–1997 and prime minister of Democratic Kampuchea, fled to the jungle. He died in 1998 without ever having faced justice.

Al Qaeda’s Favorite President
Shortly after Donald Trump’s Election Day victory, many jihadists voiced their pleasure with the result: “Rejoice with support from Allah, and find glad tidings in the imminent demise of America at the hands of Trump,” said one. Trump “reveals the true mentality of the Americans, and their racism toward Muslims and Arabs and everything. He reveals what his predecessors used to conceal. So his victory further exposes America and its appendages,” said another.
Agent Orange and unexploded bombs: America's “human rights” record in Vietnam
During President Barack Obama's visit to Vietnam last month, he announced the end of Washington's longstanding arms embargo against the country. Officially, the United States has always maintained that ending the embargo would be contingent upon Vietnam improving its human rights record. But despite lifting the embargo, Obama told the Vietnamese people that the country's human rights record is "an area where we still have differences." This is all rather farcical.
Nixon and the Cambodian Genocide
The geopolitical map was in flux after the Vietnam War — North Vietnam installed a provisional government in South Vietnam until the country was reunified in 1976, and Washington was determined to isolate the communist government. At the same time, the United States sought closer relations with China as a way of redistributing global power away from the Soviet Union; it saw Cambodia as a potentially useful counterweight.
