    From May 30 thread:

    Nassim et al,

    Google has these deals with many new organizations, where you can read full articles if you go through Google News for access to FT, WSJ and many more. Type in URL or first few words of headline. I do it all the time, have done for years. Sorry if people didn’t catch on to that yet, I wrote about it many times.

    Dead elephants in Tanzania, and dead bears in my neck of the woods. Read last night where three bears were butchered in the last week. Why? For their paws and their internal organs. The rest of the bears’ bodies were left for the four-legged scavengers. The two-legged criminals are selling to two-legged Asians for lots of money. Never thought I’d see that here. Since this practice appears to be just getting started (but has probably been ongoing, just not reported; don’t want to incite “racism”), I guess I can expect to hear of many bear kills in the next few months.

    Fines and jail are too good for these people.

    Gaddafi of Libya said shortly before the NATO intervention and his death:

    “If one seeks to destabilize [Libya], there will be chaos, Bin Laden, armed factions. That is what will happen. You will have immigration, thousands of people will invade Europe from Libya. And there will no longer be anyone to stop them. Bin Laden will base himself in North Africa […]. You will have Bin Laden at your doorstep. This catastrophe will extend out of Pakistan and Afghanistan and reach all the way to North Africa.”

    Libya: How to Bring Down a Nation

    Well, there you go. How prophetic is that? Exactly what happened: “You will have immigration, thousands of people will invade Europe from Libya.”

    And chaos? Read the article. Don’t forget, the day after Gaddafi was taken out, amid the devastation, something very important was set up: a central bank. Priorities! And the rebels appear to be selling very cheap oil. I wonder, who are the buyers?

    I guess Gaddafi was the wall that kept them from coming.

    That comment of mine about the deals various news organizations have with Google apparently triggers reactions that would seem to indicate they don’t really want those deals to get overly known. So I got this mail from FT, and I’ll leave it up to my readers to make up their minds. I’ll write a reaction mañana:

    Wow, Ilargi, you’re getting popular. Facebook and Financial Times all in one week. The elite must be getting worried.

    Sounds like Financial Times might have a problem with Google News, not you. If their news is accessible through Google News, perhaps Richard Pigden should be on the phone to them. They are the transmission line.

    Anyway, whenever I read a newspaper article, I am sickened by the one-sidedness of them. Facts? What are those things? Investigative journalists? They lost their jobs long ago. I mean, if we actually had investigative journalists, people would actually be informed.

    Rags of half-truths, omissions, and propaganda.

    I must have missed this yesterday.

    “Snowden, who has spent the last few years in exile in Russia, should return to the U.S. to deal with the consequences, Holder noted. “I think that he’s got to make a decision. He’s broken the law in my view. He needs to get lawyers, come on back, and decide, see what he wants to do: Go to trial, try to cut a deal. I think there has to be a consequence for what he has done.”

    Eric Holder said Snowden “harmed American interests”. I’d say what Snowden did pales in comparison to what Holder did (no banker jailed). Mr. Revolving Door started out in government, went to Covington and Burling (white collar defense attorneys in Washington, D.C.), then back to government, and now back with Covington and Burling.

    His stint as Attorney-General was laughable. Imagine the gall of this man, who is supposed to stand for justice, telling Snowden that he should come home and face the music when he never faced any music at all for his outrageous do-nothing behavior. This whole world is upside down.
