GOOGLE CHIEF EXECUTIVE SUNDAR PICHAI WAS BRIEFED ON A PLAN NOT TO NOTIFY USERS OF A SOFTWARE GLITCH THAT GAVE OUTSIDE DEVELOPERS POTENTIAL ACCESS TO PRIVATE DATA.

 

Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz talks about viruses and swine flu.Aajonus Vonderplanitz (April 17, 1947 – August 28, 2013) was an American alternative nutritionist and food-rights activist who focused on raw foods, especially meat and dairy. Especially controversial, he conducted legal battles and implemented legal workarounds for consumer access to raw milk, and developed a diet based largely on raw meat, the Primal Diet.[4][5][6][7] Yet his later years, marked by his allegations of conspiracies and by his infighting within the food-rights community, drew him notoriety even among advocates of alternative healthcare and food rights.
He claimed hospital diagnosis of cancer soon ruled terminal, but experiencing remission via raw carrot juice and raw dairy by age 21. Later, he began informal nutritional counseling. By age 25, he had adopted raw veganism. Yet at age 29, he added raw meat, which he claimed to vastly improve healing. After publication of his first book, We Want to Live, in 1997, he became a leading alternative nutritionist. In September 1986, at age 39, living in a Beverly Hills “slum” while freelancing in nutrition, Vonderplanitz returned to Cincinnati, Ohio.  There, his only child, his son, estranged for about 20 years, had recently been in a severe car wreck, driving, without a seatbelt on, straight into a tree.[29] Vonderplanitz claimed to have sabotaged his son’s conventional medical treatment, in Mercy Hospital‘s intensive-care unit, and used raw foods to awaken and retrieve his comatose son from imminent death, and to reverse his paralysis and brain damage.  Ten years after his son’s recovery, Vonderplanitz recounted the tale in his first book, We Want to Live, first published in 1997 and revised in 2005.
Upon the 1997 release of Vonderplanitz’s first book, Robert Atkins interviewed him, based by then in Malibu, on Atkins’s nationally syndicated radio show. Vonderplanitz had claimed that his own protocol had cured over 200 clients of cancer.[9] In 2000, Vonderplanitz trademarked the name Primal Diet.  Unlike later diets called “primal”,[e] Vonderplanitz’s Primal Diet principally includes raw meat, raw eggs, raw dairy, raw fats, and unheated honey.  In 2002, his other book, the Recipe for Living Without Disease, was published. Nearing 2010, he was still claiming over 90% rate of cancer remission among his clients closely heeding it.  Despite mainstream dismissal, his Primal Diet gained a sizable following.

We Want to Live

Volume One–Out of the Grips of Disease and Death (the story)
& Volume Two–Healthfully (the facts)

As indicated in the subtitle, the book is divided into two parts. The first is the mother of all conversion/testimonial stories (125 pages worth). The second starts with a 5-page intro by Ron Strauss and is followed by an encyclopedic listing of foods and preparations (23 pages), then on to 90 pages of “food remedies,” and then 10 pages of “health methodologies.” (The “We Want to Live” web page contains the table of contents in more detail.) Finally, there are 33 pages of appendices (A-X) which are not labeled by topic but serve largely as extended footnotes of material from the “testimonial” section.Volume One’s “the story” is told as first-person narrative. The present-tense story starts with a phone call notifying Aajonus (pronounced like “homogenous” without the “hum”) that his long-estranged son has been in a severe auto accident and because of extensive head injuries is not expected to survive the next 24 hours. After stocking up on Californian raw honey, butter, papayas, etc., Aajonus flies out to stay with his son. By stealthfully replacing his son’s medications with raw-food recipes (initially a mixture of raw honey and butter placed under his tongue while he is in a coma) eventually the brain damage is miraculously repaired to a large degree. Along the way he battles with the hospital administration and policies.
We learn through extensive (and somewhat confusing) flashbacks of his own recovery from cancer and of the recovery of others due to his (mostly) successful nutritional counseling, and even hear about an out-of-body near-death experience (also part of his “conversion”) where the tennis shoes he is wearing melt onto the room’s radiator. We are further privy to his conversion to raw animal foods (he had previously been fruitarian/vegan). After being unsuccessfully coached on the benefits of raw meat by Elk-of-the-Black-Moon (the spirit of Black Elk himself?) at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation vision quest (this bit is confined to an appendix for no apparent reason), it takes a pack of wild coyotes to convert him: He has decided to fast to death in the desert instead of returning to a diseased civilization (fruitarians love stuff like this, no? ????
 )
 but the coyotes have other plans for him, eventually killing and offering him a rabbit which he eats, and after which, of course, he is reborn.
This is just the tip of the story’s iceberg, though. We learn not only about his troubled past and the “mandatory” health problems, but also about his teenage parenthood and “divorce,” and in general of his path from angry youth to health-seeker to “raw is law.” And he usually has some sort of detox going on: a poison mushroom took him many years to completely cure from, and an Electro Dermal Screening Device (whatever that might be) provided him ill-effects, including a most dramatic detox of bone epoxy used on his skull during previous surgery for an injury. The bonding with his estranged son, and his interaction with the hospital staff, family, and friends (including half a “pick-up” story about a woman in a health-food store which he never gets back to and finishes!) make the narrative surprisingly readable. In a Reader’s Digest “Drama in Real Life” sort of way. ????
As I’ve said, this is the mother of all testimonial/conversion stories ever put to print. Vonderplanitz’s new-age sensibilities lead to a high-pitched “Awww, come on!” reaction from a fellow like me, but it is a whale of a tale, and one suspects mostly true, or at least believed so by the author, who indeed makes an endearing and humble-humble narrator on such a journey. (Highlight: getting the yogis all revved up for the “pleasures of the flesh” by feeding them a diet of avos and citrus. “Awww, come on!” ????
 )
The section surveying foods, remedies, and therapies is much more troubling, and perhaps ironically much more intriguing to me. I am reminded of Dr. Henry G. Bieler’s Food is Your Best Medicine, Herbert Shelton’s Fasting Can Save Your Life, and most every new-age remedy book I’ve ever seen–all rolled into one, and with a RAF (raw-animal-food) slant to boot! Mr. Vonderplanitz does indeed seem to have a cure/recipe for every affliction from cancer to athlete’s foot, but at the same time he is big on following your intuition/craving/instinct–and that what works for one will not for another. His “theoretical explanations” are at once intriguing and head-slapping. Can you figure out which parts of the examples below are which to this reviewer?

The thought of delicious, heavily buttered garlic bread came to mind. I knew it was instinct, my body telling me what is needed to raise my blood pressure. I went back into my apartment and ate a raw clove of garlic with French bread and lots of unsalted butter. Within moments I felt better, satisfied. I decided from that moment on that at least 70% of my diet would consist of raw foods. (p. 48)
Fat resins and residues from cooked or processed green foods first collect in the intestines, becoming impacted. Secondly, they collect as gummy resins in the glands (as in prostatitis, leading to prostate cancer), and thirdly, they collect as gummy resins in the brain (as in Alzheimer’s disease).
XXX
The resins and residues from cooked or processed red fruits and vegetables most often collect in the lymph and skin, causing acne, sickly-looking tongues, hard and brittle bones, and deep lesions in the skin when the weather turns cold….
XXX
People who lack the enzyme-mutations for digesting, assimilating, and utilizing cooked or processed yellow foods most often look pasty around the nose and eyes, and have very slow digestion, especially after eating a cooked or processed yellow or orange food.
XXX
People who lack enzyme-mutations for eating all three food groups–cooked or processed green, red (including orange) and yellow (including orange)–have a predisposition toward HIV positive.” (pp. 136-137)
It is believed that whole raw eggs should not be eaten because albumin in egg white binds with biotin (part of the B-complex) in the body, causing side-effects. Egg yolk contains plenty of biotin to be utilized with albumin in egg white. The albumin/biotin combination is helpful because it helps to dissolve biocarbons and helps muscles retain carbohydrates. Whole raw eggs contain a wonderful, natural balance when eaten in a normal diet (whether the diet is raw or not).
XXX
In my experience with animals including human, who ate only the yolk and not the white (along with other foods on a raw diet), metabolism was considerably increased, usually withOUT increasing energy. The side-effects were that often hunger increased to a frenzy and dispositions tended to be irritable. It has been my experience in every case and condition that eating the whole raw egg was more nourishing, and better for metabolic and emotional balance. (p. 146)

And so on. His theoretical explanations (a la
 Bieler’s, and beyond!) seem like wholesale additions to modern nutritional myth and folklore. The lack of references (or intellectual humility, for that matter) severely limits his explanations, to my mind. Yet, given the paucity of info/experience of folks eating RAF over the long term, I am bound by curiosity to his experiences consuming large amounts of RAF, and his “clients” doing the same.
For anyone with the slightest interest in RAF, We Want To Live is almost must reading, but I would hope that any reader would be skeptical of the claims and explanations (and further hope that you don’t become a “raw butter mixed with raw honey” junkie!, though there are worse addictions in this world to be sure ????
 ).
 A non-instincto take on RAF is always interesting to someone like me who is steeped in instincto lore. Ronald Schmid’s Native Nutrition is far more informative and well-written, but lacks any of the first-person stuff in We Want To Live. But in such a paltry arena as RAF, beggars can’t be choosers as far as the books they might read. And there are many who prefer the testimonial approach much more than I do.
Mr. Vonderplanitz is reportedly a very polished speaker, and with his impressive physique (never works out, of course ????
 )
 and commanding presence is very persuasive in the few public appearances he has given so far. But, if he expects to be taken at all seriously, he will need to document his claims, be much more specific in his methodology (if there exist any specifics to his methodology), and back way off with his naive “theoretical explanations.”
Smooth talk and a likeable presence are probably enough for the uncritical minds of most folks into fringe diets–and Mr. Vonderplanitz is almost assured a small fringe following. But if he hopes to impress the mainstream (or get any attention from serious researchers) with the importance of his approach, he will have to provide documentation along with anecdote. He will have to provide a verifiable methodology as well as a winning smile.

Wall Street Journal

By Douglas MacMillan and Robert McMillanOctober 8, 2018

Google opted not to disclose to users its discovery of a bug that gave outside developers access to private data. It found no evidence of misuse.

Google exposed the private data of hundreds of thousands of users of the Google+ social network and then opted not to disclose the issue this past spring, in part because of fears that doing so would draw regulatory scrutiny and cause reputational damage, according to people briefed on the incident and documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

As part of its response to the incident, the Alphabet Inc. unit on Monday announced a sweeping set of data privacy measures that include permanently shutting down all consumer functionality of Google+. The move effectively puts the final nail in the coffin of a product that was launched in 2011 to challenge Facebook Inc. and is widely seen as one of Google’s biggest failures.

A software glitch in the social site gave outside developers potential access to private Google+ profile data between 2015 and March 2018, when internal investigators discovered and fixed the issue, according to the documents and people briefed on the incident. A memo reviewed by the Journal prepared by Google’s legal and policy staff and shared with senior executives warned that disclosing the incident would likely trigger “immediate regulatory interest” and invite comparisons to Facebook’s leak of user information to data firm Cambridge Analytica.

Chief Executive Sundar Pichai was briefed on the plan not to notify users after an internal committee had reached that decision, the people said.

The closure of Google+ is part of a broader review of privacy practices by Google that has determined the company needs tighter controls on several major products, the people said. In its announcement Monday, the company said it is curtailing the access it gives outside developers to user data on Android smartphones and Gmail.

Google Advertising Revenue Is Under Major Threat In Australia

Earlier this month a court in Australia reversed a lower court’s decision and ruled that the ads Google allows to run on its search engine are “misleading and deceptive”.

After this ruling by the Federal Court, Google was caught completely off-guard (typical Google arrogance of course) and they definitely were not expecting it to go in that direction. It also extremely worries Google and could set a threatening precedent to their business model. Google is concerned that the Australian court’s decision could be copied by other courts in different countries and it will hurt their bottom line. Google’s ad revenue is worth hundreds of millions of dollars in Australia alone.

Google will fight the court’s decision tooth and nail to avoid this from spreading and to make sure their money-making machine is protected. The company has less than 14 days to appeal the decision to a High Court. What Google is most concerned about is protecting their money and not making sure that their users are protected. This isn’t the first time that the company has gotten themselves in deep trouble over their ad business. The US government forced Google to pay up half a billion dollars for aiding and abetting a con artist commit his crimes (I will post an update story on this soon ,which I forgot to post).

The point is that Google has repeatedly shown that they are willing to accept money from every advertiser, every company, and even criminals if they can get away with it. They obviously have very little ethics and I sure wouldn’t trust them. Be careful clicking on those ads.

This Australian legal battle against Google is a very interesting one to watch. ABC News in Australia did a fantastic report on this story. The video is below and if you want to read the transcript, you can go to their website

Forbes: 6 Months Later and Google Plus Still Sucks

According to a writer for Forbes named Paul Tassi, Google’s latest attempt at social networking is still a failure. Mr. Tassi wrote about his dissatisfaction using Google Plus last year and he received some criticism from loyal diehards of the site – although most people would agree with Mr. Tassi’s observation that the site…well, sucks.

The Wall Street Journal a little while ago published an article claiming that the site is a virtual “ghost town” and users only spent like 3 minutes on the site per month. Of course Google denies this and released vague numbers to contradict any negative publicity.

Anyway, Mr. Tassi gave Google Plus some more time and a second chance to prove itself. He published another article today and he says that Google’s social networking site still doesn’t impress him. He wrote:

“…but I thought now was the time to revisit my thoughts on the site, quite a bit down the road. Over half a year has gone by since then. I’ve posted nearly every day to my G+ page, and have engaged others in conversation about many a topic… I still do not believe Google Plus is the social network it needs to be, nor do I believe it will ever pose a significant threat to Facebook in its current form.”

Mr. Tassi says that none of his friends use Google Plus and don’t seem like they ever will. His friends are using several other social media on the Web, including the red-hot Pinterest which I’m hearing a lot about lately. I think I remember reading someplace that Pinterest is credited for giving websites much of their referral traffic – far exceeding Google Plus.

Mr. Tassi believes that Google Plus appeals to a “niche community” of tech geeks and people who are in certain industries that find the site useful in connecting with the general public versus connecting with friends. Google Plus isn’t really a place you go if you want to connect with your close friends. He says that Google Plus is full of strangers who don’t comment much or engage with the site often. So even though he believes Google Plus isn’t necessarily a “ghost town” based on how you look at the numbers, it sure does give off the feeling that it’s empty and cold.

 I have posted an article on my blog calling Google Plus “pretentious” once. I actually think Google sells its social networking site as being a high-brow version of Facebook – as if Facebook is that place common folks exchange frivolous things with one another while Google Plus folks share more meaningful material. It’s typical Google arrogance.

Google’s social networking site does not look like it will get any better any time soon or ever. It’s been around for a long time now and the company has huge expectations for the site. Google desperately wants to see its struggling social networking site grow and become a success, there is a lot weighing on it. Yet even with so much invested in the site, Google cannot seem to win.

Victim Of Brutal Beating Says She Is “Afraid” of Google Executive’s Family.

 

There is disturbing bombshell news that has been exposed the other day and it involves a major employee of Google. Marissa Mayer has been with Google since the very early days of the company, she is often said to be the 20th employee of Google. As one of the very first employees of Google, Marissa knows a lot about Google and she is deeply embedded in this company. Her current job title is Vice President of Local, Maps, and Location services.

Marissa became a very wealthy woman after Google became a public company in 2004. She is often seen as the public face of Google itself. You see her everywhere doing all sorts of different interviews with newspapers and even on television programs like the Martha Stewart Show. She has become somewhat of a celebrity and a spokeswoman for Google. The company uses her bright smile and photogenic looks to give itself an attractive public image.

However, Google might want to keep Marissa out of the spotlight for awhile – perhaps never again. The innocent looking and charming woman Google used as the public face of the company is part of a family that isn’t so attractive.

Now, I have written here before that this blog doesn’t focus on tabloid topics or personal issues, but this particular case involving the Mayer family is different. I don’t like gossipy, irrelevant, and frivolous stuff – but I will focus on criminal activity that has strong connections to Google.

The younger brother of Marissa, Mason Mayer, has been accused of three felonies: assault, false imprisonment and domestic violence. He allegedly brutally beat his girlfriend, Kelli Ann Trent, after a night out back in September 2011. We are learning about this now because The San Francisco Appeal newspaper investigated this case and published their findings yesterday.

Alright – so here’s what happened, according to court documents obtained by the newspaper. An affidavit submitted by San Francisco Police Department Inspector Michael Becker, details exactly what allegedly happened between Mason Mayer and his girlfriend:

On the evening of September 24, Mason and Kelli were getting ready to go to a party. They were at Mason’s condo residence at the time. Prior to the leaving to go to the party, they had an argument over a woman – who Mason allegedly cheated with – attending the party too.

The couple went to the party but there was still tension between them. According to the court document, Mason angrily accused a bartender of hitting on his girlfriend. He also became angry at Kelli Ann Trent for speaking with Marissa Mayer’s husband. Mason apparently “dislikes” his brother-in-law for some reason.

The couple left the party and went back home to Mason’s condo residence. While walking through the building hallway, Mason shoved Kelli. He then took her inside the residence, locked her in his bedroom, and then threw Kelli on the floor of the bedroom.

Mason began spitting in the face of his girlfriend, pulling her hair out, and he slammed her head against the marble bedroom floor. Kelli was in agony and in the fetal position trying to protect herself. Mason repeatedly punched her in the face, while Kelli struggled to get away. He told her that the only way she was going to get out of the beating was by driving her to the Golden Gate Bridge and throwing her off it.

Luckily for Kelli, before things could get any worse, Mason’s cell phone started ringing. It was a friend of the couple who was calling to ask to pick up his personal items from the condo. While on the phone, Kelli screamed for help.

The friend eventually arrived at the condo residence and Mason answered the front door to let him in. Kelli ran out of the bedroom hysterical and crying out for help. Mason grabbed her and wouldn’t let her go. The friend asked Mason to let her go but he refused. The friend said that he would call the police if he didn’t let her go. After Mason finally agreed to let Kelli go, she went back into the bedroom to retrieve her bag.

But Mason followed her back into the bedroom and locked the door shut again. The friend decided to stay the night at the condo to make sure nothing bad happened. The next morning, Kelli got up and she noticed all the injuries to her body.

Kelli eventually went to the police to report what happened to her. The 33-year-old Mason Mayer was arrested by police on November 28, 2011. In January a judge ordered Mason to stay away from Kelli. He has pleaded not guilty – but if found guilty he faces a maximum four years and eight months in state prison. Mason Mayer has a pretrial conference in a Superior Court on April 18th, 2012.

This is all so disturbing and vile. I need a shower after reading the court documents and seeing the injuries on the alleged victim. Mason Mayer is apparently very close to his famous sister and lives off her success. According to The San Francisco Appeal newspaper, Mason lives in the same luxury building as his sister and he was never worked since his sister struck it rich working at Google.

Just keep this in mind: these are the type of people you entrust your personal information with when you use Google. I certainly wouldn’t want people like Mason Mayer and his executive sister anywhere near my personal data. Knowing about the ethics and morals of the people who handle very sensitive data about you is so important.

 If I don’t trust you, I will not do business with you – ever.

Federal Agency Fines Google $25,000 “Deliberately” Impeding Investigation

It was reported yesterday that the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined Google $25,000 for not cooperating with an investigation over Google’s massive invasion of privacy involving its Street View service.

The FCC said that Google “deliberately impeded and delayed” its investigation. Google made it very difficult for investigators to gain access to employees and hid important evidence. Google did not answer emails and the company even tried to hide the identities of the employees involved in the privacy violations from two years ago.

In 2010, Google’s Street View cars collected very private information from unencrypted home computers. When Google was caught doing this it apologized and said that it didn’t deliberately try to capture private data. Soon after the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigated and sided with Google’s explanation that it was a mistake. Although the US didn’t take the massive privacy violation seriously, European countries were more concerned.

Now the FCC has come out and exposed Google’s refusal to cooperate with the investigation. This is really embarrassing for a company that claims it’s so transparent about everything it does and is cooperative with regulators. This is not the first regulators have complained about Google’s secrecy, arrogance, and unwillingness to cooperate with investigations. The French data protection agency currently investigating Google’s new privacy policy said that Google neglected to contact them before implementing their controversial and intrusive privacy policy.

The $25,000 Google is now forced to pay will do nothing to the company’s bottom line. Google raked in about $40 billion last year. Over 90% of Google’s revenues come from advertising – this means that Google makes money by selling your personal data to advertisers. This is the reason Google consolidated their privacy policies into a singular policy – it makes it easier for the company to figure you out and it’s more profitable. A Google spokesman said that the company is on a mission to combat against “the faceless Web”.

Google paying a $25,000 fine is like an average person paying a one cent fine – but don’t get too hung up on the amount of that fine. The biggest hit Google received from this new report by the FCC is its reputation. Most people think way too highly of this company and if more reports like this come out to expose Google’s dirt then the better it will be for the general public.

I love what Christina DesMarais, PCWorld, wrote in her article:

“…if Google’s uncooperative behavior is true as the FCC maintains, the obvious question is, ‘What is Google hiding?’ Consumers and advocacy groups have often criticized Google’s seemingly insatiable appetite for personal information, such as its recent consolidation of its privacy policies so as to have a better view into user behaviors and preferences. Because of the amount of attention those privacy concerns have garnered, you’d think a policy of transparency on Google’s part would bode well with those who have doubts about whether or not the company can be trusted with increasing amounts of personal data.”

Things that make you go hmmm…

Three years ago, The New York Times published an article titled “Putting a Bolder Face on Google” and it’s a fantastic read. It focuses on Marissa and really let’s you know more about her character. Here are some interesting quotes about her in the article:

“Mayer, who is Google Employee No. 20…A popular guest on TV news programs and talk shows, a Google-booster often quoted in print, and a rapid-fire presence on San Francisco’s social scene, she is the rare executive who has become — at least in the sometimes cloistered world of computer geeks — a celebrity”

“Ms. Mayer, 33, plays a pivotal, serious role at Google…She is one of the few Googlers with unfettered access to and influence over Mr. Brin and Mr. Page”

A 2009 Gawker.com article described her as “the best known Google executive outside the search engine’s CEO, Eric Schmidt, and its billionaire founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin”

Ms. Mayer has even dated the current Google CEO Larry Page at one point. This is a woman very much part of the identity of Google and a recognizable face of the company.

I’m leaving you a video of her on the Martha Stewart show

Embarrassing Apples Is Responsible For The Vast Majority of Google’s Mobile Revenue

There are new revelations about the health of Google’s mobile business and it looks like Google is in really bad shape. Thanks to documents submitted in the legal battle between Google and Oracle over patents, the public gets a new look at exactly how well Google’s Android is performing.

Google is secretive about letting the public know about how much revenue Android brings in – but now we know that Android actually doesn’t make much money for Google at all. Google’s overall 2011 revenues totaled about $40 billion and much of that is from ads from search results on desktop computers. Very little of Google’s overall revenues is from mobile.

According to The Guardian, Android generated less than $550 million between 2008 and 2011 – pitiful. Google produces the Android software which it then gives away for free to handset makers to sell. Google makes its money from ad revenue on the mobile devices and from applications on Google Play (formerly known as Android Market), which is doing extremely poorly compared to Apple’s App store.

Here is where it gets particularly interesting – Google actually makes more money from Apple’s mobile devices than it does from its own Android powered smartphones! Now isn’t that hilarious, ha-ha, especially considering the recent bad blood between Google and Apple.

Apple is responsible for generating more than four times as much revenue for Google! This is because at least half of all smartphone owners use an Apple device and Google is the default search engine. Apple also extensively used Google Maps – but as recently told Google to get lost and is now using a mixture of its own acquired mapping technology and free crowdsourced mapping.

Who knew that Apple had such a big role in Google’s mobile business?

Majority of Google’s mobile traffic can be credited to Apple. Google should be grateful to Apple for being so helpful, but Google treats Apple like crap. Google expressed its gratitude to Apple by trying to impose itself into Apple’s territory, which infuriated Apple.

What did Apple do as payback?

Apple no longer extensively uses Google Maps, Apple added other search engines as alternative options to Google’s, and Apple appears to be ditching Google altogether in China (a huge and attractive market). And we all know about how Apple set its Safari Web browser default to automatically block third-party tracking cookies  – however, it was exposed last month that Google illegally circumvented this security feature, but is now facing countless lawsuits from Apple users.

Psst…hey Google…don’t bite that hand that feeds you.

Google Enjoy Too Much Media Cove Rage

I have made the claim that the media doesn’t give Google enough scrutiny and that the company often gets underserved favorable press. This is a major reason I started this blog in the first place, so that the average person out there can see what Google is really all about.

I remember seeing articles recently claiming that Google currently has the best reputation among any company in America. This is very disturbing considering all the sordid details I have been posting about Google’s lack of privacy, their pitiful ethics, their lies, the incessant lawsuits, and even criminal investigations. It’s disappointing and saddening that so many Americans put so much trust in this company – it just leaves me shaking my head and I think to myself “if only they knew better”.

I came across three really great articles comparing Google to Microsoft. I want to share these articles with you, but please don’t view this as me trying to sell Microsoft to you. I’m just using the articles to illustrate media bias and to show you how much Google has changed over the years.

The article published by InfoWorld’s J. Peter Bruzzese is excellent and lays out evidence to argue that the media unfairly bashes Microsoft way too often while Google’s errors are conveniently overlooked. He writes,

“I’ve noticed an unfair, ongoing trend: If Microsoft does something a little off, it gets bashed into the ground for it. But if Google… missteps, it generally gets mild reprimands and even support from the media and those drinking the Kool-Aid.”

Ever since I started this blog earlier this year I have been reading about the comparisons people are making between Microsoft and Google. These comparisons argue that Google has really changed for the worse over the years. As some of you probably already know, Google’s infamous unofficial motto is “don’t be evil”. In the early idealistic days of Google the company didn’t want to be like other established tech giants (i.e. Microsoft) because they perceived them as representing negativity and as being old-fashioned. But now people are starting to notice that little ol’ Google ain’t all that different from Microsoft – actually, some argue, that Google is worse now.

The article published by Forbes gives you 7 similarities between Google and Microsoft – perhaps now the pot should stop calling the kettle black– to read the Forbes article, please click here.

Finally, a very interesting article appeared on The Daily Beast website by Dan Lyons. The author spent 30 days using nothing but Microsoft products to compare it with Google’s products. He wanted to see if Microsoft can win him over and if Google’s products are really worth keeping. To find out what he concluded you gotta read the full article for yourself – click here

Google is currently enjoying much of the general public’s trust– but what is most hopeful is that this is slowly changing. As more people become knowledgeable and fed-up with Google’s antics, their arrogance, their invasion on our privacy, and other wrongdoings we will finally see Google fall off its throne. As any good business person will tell you, the most important thing in business is rightfully earning the trust and admiration of the public – once you lose this you’ve lost everything.

MARISSA MAYER IS NOMINATED TO SERVE ON WALMART’S BOARD

Google’s top woman has been nominated to serve on the board of Walmart. The massive retailer corporation made the announcement today that Marissa Mayer could potentially take the board’s 16th spot.

And yes, it’s that same Marissa Mayer…you know…the same high-profile Google executive whose brother allegedly brutally beat up his girlfriend and threatened to throw her off San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge…

At only 36, Ms. Mayer will be the youngest person on the board if elected at the company’s shareholder’s meeting on June 1st. I was reading through different articles about her nomination to board, many questioned whether she is the right fit for the company’s board. She doesn’t really have much experience outside of Google, if any at all. She was hired at Google straight out of graduate school in 1999 and shuffled around at that Google ever since.

Is she a one-hit wonder? Can her leadership skills at Google translate over to other companies that operate in a completely different way? Walmart seems to think that she can be useful in helping them with their online services. Google benefits from learning about how a retail giant does business.

Anyway, it’s interesting news and I thought it is worth posting. She said this in a statement:

“I have long been a customer and admirer of the company. Walmart is an amazing story of entrepreneurship and, as one of the world’s most powerful brands, touches millions of lives every day. I look forward to contributing to Walmart’s continued growth, success, and innovation in the years to come”

And according to Forbes, she also serves on the boards of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Ballet, the New York City Ballet and the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.

Google Executive’s Family Allegedly Made Life Of Abuse Victim A Living Nightmare.

Last month I published an article titled “Victim of Brutal Beating Says She’s ‘Afraid’ of Google Executive’s Family”. It was one of the most read and commented on posts I’ve published on my blog. I received great feedback and the vast majority of readers appreciate knowing about this disturbing story involving a major Google executive’s family. If you haven’t already read that article please do so before reading this one – click here

After I posted my article I received an email from a person who said they wanted to set the record straight about what happened to Mason Mayer’s alleged victim, Kelli Trent. This person told me that they were troubled by false information being spread around and asked for my assistance in having Kelli’s side of the story told.

This person told me lots of information about the Mayer family and the dysfunctional relationship between Mason Mayer and Kelli Trent. This person has politely asked that I not reveal their identity and so I have decided to respect their privacy. I will simply refer to this person as my “source” from this point on.

The information my source revealed to me is disturbing, to say the least. It will give you a greater sense of what happened before the night of the alleged abuse and what took place after that night.

Kelli Trent is an intelligent and hardworking young woman. She moved to San Francisco back in 2005 after completing college and has been consistently employed ever since. Her friends describe her as being very generous and she always tries to help out any way she could. My source wanted to point out that Kelli comes from “a decent amount of wealth herself” and that she often pays for the needs of loved ones without hesitation. She has held some jobs in banking and she even recently tried her hand in a startup company.

Kelli and Mason met back in early February 2011 on his birthday and they started dating immediately after that. Their relationship was very brief but even in that short time it was plagued with serious problems. My source alleges that Mason had been controlling and abusive toward Kelli on numerous occasions.

Mason had not lived in San Francisco for that long. He moved from Minneapolis in the fall of 2010 after his famous sister, Google executive Marissa Mayer, allowed him to live in her penthouse condo. My source alleges that the reason behind Mason’s move is due to him getting in legal trouble in Minneapolis after abusing a “rebound” girlfriend. Marissa apparently wanted to keep him away from “psycho girls” and moved him close to her. Mason and his ex-wife, Kara Mayer, divorced in July 2010.

After he moved to San Francisco and started dating Kelli everything was fine for the first few months. My source alleges that the abuse on Kelli actually began in May after she wanted to leave the relationship. The source showed me a photo of Kelli taken in May with a badly bruised inner arm. The source also alleges that a few days before the night of September 24th Kelli and Mason were at a gym and he didn’t like the way she was interacting with men. He allegedly threw her belongings around and got physically aggressive with her.

Finally the abuse escalated to what took place on night of September 24th. Kelli not only suffered physical injuries but she also sustained a concussion, was disoriented, and had fainting spells. After this incident, she took photographs of her injuries and sent them to Mason’s parents and Marissa was soon notified. My source claims that Kelli was shown little respect by the Mayer family and that they never asked if she was okay. Kelli demanded that Mason get help and the Mayer family came up with Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and therapy sessions – which Mason began two days after the family was notified.

The source claims that Kelli was never offered any financial assistance for her medical needs or for her therapy sessions, which she was badly in need of. Kelli pretty much had to suffer alone and isolated herself in the apartment she shared with a roommate. She didn’t go out much since the beating and only confided in a few close friends.

The source says that soon after, in early October, the Mayer family booked Mason a trip on a European holiday for two weeks, which Kelli took as being insensitive and an insult to her. The source says that the Mayer family neglected to understand the magnitude of the problems between Kelli and Mason. The family also didn’t hold Mason accountable for anything. This is when Kelli was starting to realize that she wanted out of the relationship and was pretty much done protecting the Mayer family.

Sadly, while the Mayer family was off on their European holiday, Kelli’s grandmother passed away. After hearing about her loss, she left to go to Tennessee to be with her family. While with her family, the source claims that Mason phone called Kelli and told her that she was not invited to the Mayer family pumpkin carving party. Marissa allegedly did not want Kelli at the party, which Kelli took as a slap in the face. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back and Kelli finally knew she was done with the relationship with Mason and done with the Mayer family.

Kelli came back to San Francisco on October 30th and Mason was at the airport to pick her up. This is when Kelli broke up with him. The source alleges that Mason was infuriated by this and showed up later in the day to Kelli’s apartment threatening to release nude photos of her and allegedly vowed to smear her reputation. Mason then took the witness of the September 24th beating to the family party.

On November 11th Kelli went to the police to report everything that happened to her. Keep in mind that Kelli and Mason were not together often since the night of September 24th and up until the day she finally reported the alleged abuse to the police. My source says that it took Kelli awhile to come to the realization that she desperately needed to leave the relationship for good. This is consistent with many victims of domestic abuse who feel like they can change their partner’s ways if they just stay in long enough and are often too afraid to leave.

Soon after a warrant was issued while Mason and the rest of the Mayer family were on their annual Thanksgiving holiday in Hawaii.

The source claims that this is when the campaign to discredit Kelli began and her reputation was torn to pieces. Kelli had her life investigated as Mason’s legal team started subpoenaing texts messages, called her former employers, contacted her ex-boyfriends, etc. The source claims that Kelli depends on a good reputation to secure jobs but obtaining employment in her field has become nearly impossible and that her life is in shatters.

The source described to me one incident in January when Kelli was asked to interview at a company event hosted at Founders Den – this is the workplace of Marissa Mayer’s husband, Zack Bogue. Kelli was in the middle of an interview at the event when suddenly Zack allegedly tapped Kelli on the shoulder and loudly told her to get out. Needless to say, Kelli was thoroughly shaken and embarrassed. She promptly left without finishing her interview. My source points out that Kelli had a stay-away order at the time which specified that any third parties related to Mason are not allowed to directly contact Kelli in any way, “so Zack had no right to speak to her that night”.

Kelli has now left San Francisco. This is a woman who depended on her networking capabilities to get jobs but life is harder for her now. The source says that Kelli never wanted to have all this trouble surrounding her – Kelli fell into a brief and tumultuous relationship with Mason which is a mistake she thoroughly regrets.

While Kelli has been suffering for the past 6 months – Mason has gone on holidays and he’s attended several San Francisco society events (thanks to his sister Marissa) such as the opening of a ballet and a Midwinter Gala. The source claims that Mason owns shares in Google, gifted to him by Marissa, and was invited to an exclusive Google company event featuring Lady Gaga back in March 2011. My source finds it revolting that Mason was being “flaunted” around by his family even after they knew what he did to Kelli.

Kelli has not retained a lawyer and is being represented by a District Attorney. The pretrial conference had been postponed three times since January and is now scheduled for April 18th – if found guilty Mason faces a maximum of four years and eight months in state prison.

Disclaimer: Everything in this post should not be taken as fact. They’re allegations described to me by the source and it’s from their point of view of what occurred. There are many sides to everything and this is just one. If there are any issues you have with anything written in this post please email me.

Eric Hague: Dear Google User….

Eric Hague is a humor writer – a funny letter he wrote pretending to be a member of Google’s privacy team was published by The Wall Street Journal today.

Google seems to think it knows what is best for us, knows everything about us, and is smarter than us – the amusing piece by Mr. Hague has a little fun with all that.

Apple Makes Business More Difficult For Google in China

It is being reported that Apple will be ditching Google in China and replacing it with Baidu as the default search engine. Baidu is the dominant search engine provider in China with a market share estimated at 78%, while Google doesn’t even come close to that number.

Apple’s new operating system will integrate various popular Chinese Internet services – this will make it more attractive for consumers. This will further weaken Google in China, which is a huge loss for the company because the Chinese market is a very attractive one. Apple is making it even more difficult for Google to get its foot in the door. Apple also plans to ditch Google as the default search engine on mobile devices in China.

Recently, it was also reported that Apple ditched Google Maps and is now using a free crowdsourcing mapping service for its mobile devices. It looks like the battle between Apple and Google is getting even more intense and Google is losing.

Google Plus Ad Campaign Is Boring and Fails To Promote Strugging Website

Google really doesn’t “get” social. It seems to me that they lack the ability to understand how people want to connect and how they interact. Google executives like Marissa Mayer have admitted that Google has fallen behind in the social aspect of the Web and they are desperately trying to play catch-up.

Well, today Google UK uploaded a video on YouTube advertising the company’s social networking site called Google Plus. The campaign to get more people to use Google Plus doesn’t impress me much. Their video is titled “Google+: Tom” and it shows a man going through life on Google Plus. We see the man add his wife to his circles, it then shows the couple’s newborn child, and other significant moments in life. The video ends with a future look at the aged man as he reminisces about his youth with his friends in a video chat.

Sorry, but the video is so dumb.

I find it so pretentious, over-the-top, and confusing. I don’t like how the video doesn’t show the consistent and linear progression of the man’s life. In my first passive viewing of the video I got confused about whose life was being shared – the dad or the child? When it switches from the little boy in the green school uniform to the prom scene, I thought it was the little boy grown up ha-ha…but it was actually the dad.

I had to take a closer second viewing of the video to catch the stuff I missed.

Afterwards the narrator goes on about being a solider, being in a cannon, being a Justice, and a wise soul ha-ha. It finally ends with a corny aged look of the man with his friends, and he then adds his grandchild to his circles.

I know what this video is trying to be, but I don’t think it successfully accomplished it. It doesn’t pull on the heartstrings, it doesn’t excite me, and it doesn’t make me want to use Google Plus. I don’t think the video is mainstream enough and, quite frankly, it’s boring.

Also, I really don’t want Google keeping decades of personal data of my life  “well saved” on Google Plus. No thanks!

FACEBOOK OVERTAKES GOOGLE IN BRAZIL AS THE MOST VISITED WEBSITE

Facebook has hit another important milestone in South America. Things are looking very promising in Brazil where the social networking giant is improving rapidly. Just this past January it was reported that Facebook is now the dominant social networking site in Brazil, beating Google’s now struggling Orkut.

And now – Experian Hitwise, a digital intelligence tool, is reporting that Facebook has surpassed all of Google’s properties to become the most visited site in Brazil. Over the past year, Facebook’s popularity has skyrocketed while Google is experiencing a gradual decline.

Facebook dominated Google as the most visited site at least five different times this year, mostly on weekends when visits to social networking sites tend to increase. Nevertheless, this is a great sign for Facebook and a disaster for Google. Perhaps Facebook might eventually overtake Google in other countries too…

Huge Fine Against Google For Violating Privacy Is Imminent

The other day the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a strongly worded report condemning Google’s privacy violations and the company’s deliberate obstruction of an investigation into the gathering of sensitive data off personal computers. 

The FCC was deeply disturbed by what Google did but they’re hands were pretty much tied and couldn’t take serious action against Google. The federal agency fined Google $25,000 for impeding their investigation and they said what Google did was technically not illegal. According to PCWorld, this is because the laws are not up-to-date with technology. What Google did was obviously an invasion of privacy and SHOULD be illegal but Google seems to have gotten away scot-free because there aren’t laws that protect Americans from criminals who steal their personal data off unencrypted Wi-Fi networks.

Anyway, I came across an article yesterday by the Mercury News stating that Google is about to be hit hard by another federal agency, this time it’s the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). As you all should already know, the FTC has been in the middle of conducting their investigation on Google’s illegal circumvention of Apple’s Safari Web browser.

The Wall Street Journal exposed Google back in February for deliberately bypassing the privacy and security settings of Safari users. Apple set the default setting on its Safari browser to maximum security to protect their users from tracking companies – Google hated this and used a secret code to bypass this security setting. This exposed millions of Safari users to tracking for months without them every knowing about it. Immediately after the Journal released their story several lawsuits against Google popped up.

Now, according to the Mercury News, the major fine against Google is imminent. The newspaper spoke to a source who says that the FTC will take action against Google within a month. The FTC already has a consent order against Google which was put in place late last year. Google violated the privacy of their users when they launched their failed social networking tool called “Buzz”. After an investigation, Google agreed to a settlement that would require the company to regularly submit a compliance report to the FTC and they agreed to two decades of close monitoring from the FTC.  Google also promised never to violate the privacy of their users or any company’s users – evidently they couldn’t keep their promise.

Google faces a fine of $16,000 per violation per day. There were millions of Apple users affected and victimized by this invasion of privacy so you can imagine that the fine could be colossal. Let’s hope the FTC puts Google in its place and hits them hard – Google definitely deserves it.

GOOGLE CHIEF EXECUTIVE SUNDAR PICHAI WAS BRIEFED ON A PLAN NOT TO NOTIFY USERS OF A SOFTWARE GLITCH THAT GAVE OUTSIDE DEVELOPERS POTENTIAL ACCESS TO PRIVATE DATA.

 

Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz talks about viruses and swine flu.Aajonus Vonderplanitz (April 17, 1947 – August 28, 2013) was an American alternative nutritionist and food-rights activist who focused on raw foods, especially meat and dairy. Especially controversial, he conducted legal battles and implemented legal workarounds for consumer access to raw milk, and developed a diet based largely on raw meat, the Primal Diet.[4][5][6][7] Yet his later years, marked by his allegations of conspiracies and by his infighting within the food-rights community, drew him notoriety even among advocates of alternative healthcare and food rights.
He claimed hospital diagnosis of cancer soon ruled terminal, but experiencing remission via raw carrot juice and raw dairy by age 21. Later, he began informal nutritional counseling. By age 25, he had adopted raw veganism. Yet at age 29, he added raw meat, which he claimed to vastly improve healing. After publication of his first book, We Want to Live, in 1997, he became a leading alternative nutritionist. In September 1986, at age 39, living in a Beverly Hills “slum” while freelancing in nutrition, Vonderplanitz returned to Cincinnati, Ohio.  There, his only child, his son, estranged for about 20 years, had recently been in a severe car wreck, driving, without a seatbelt on, straight into a tree.[29] Vonderplanitz claimed to have sabotaged his son’s conventional medical treatment, in Mercy Hospital‘s intensive-care unit, and used raw foods to awaken and retrieve his comatose son from imminent death, and to reverse his paralysis and brain damage.  Ten years after his son’s recovery, Vonderplanitz recounted the tale in his first book, We Want to Live, first published in 1997 and revised in 2005.
Upon the 1997 release of Vonderplanitz’s first book, Robert Atkins interviewed him, based by then in Malibu, on Atkins’s nationally syndicated radio show. Vonderplanitz had claimed that his own protocol had cured over 200 clients of cancer.[9] In 2000, Vonderplanitz trademarked the name Primal Diet.  Unlike later diets called “primal”,[e] Vonderplanitz’s Primal Diet principally includes raw meat, raw eggs, raw dairy, raw fats, and unheated honey.  In 2002, his other book, the Recipe for Living Without Disease, was published. Nearing 2010, he was still claiming over 90% rate of cancer remission among his clients closely heeding it.  Despite mainstream dismissal, his Primal Diet gained a sizable following.

As indicated in the subtitle, the book is divided into two parts. The first is the mother of all conversion/testimonial stories (125 pages worth). The second starts with a 5-page intro by Ron Strauss and is followed by an encyclopedic listing of foods and preparations (23 pages), then on to 90 pages of “food remedies,” and then 10 pages of “health methodologies.” (The “We Want to Live” web page contains the table of contents in more detail.) Finally, there are 33 pages of appendices (A-X) which are not labeled by topic but serve largely as extended footnotes of material from the “testimonial” section.Volume One’s “the story” is told as first-person narrative. The present-tense story starts with a phone call notifying Aajonus (pronounced like “homogenous” without the “hum”) that his long-estranged son has been in a severe auto accident and because of extensive head injuries is not expected to survive the next 24 hours. After stocking up on Californian raw honey, butter, papayas, etc., Aajonus flies out to stay with his son. By stealthfully replacing his son’s medications with raw-food recipes (initially a mixture of raw honey and butter placed under his tongue while he is in a coma) eventually the brain damage is miraculously repaired to a large degree. Along the way he battles with the hospital administration and policies.
We learn through extensive (and somewhat confusing) flashbacks of his own recovery from cancer and of the recovery of others due to his (mostly) successful nutritional counseling, and even hear about an out-of-body near-death experience (also part of his “conversion”) where the tennis shoes he is wearing melt onto the room’s radiator. We are further privy to his conversion to raw animal foods (he had previously been fruitarian/vegan). After being unsuccessfully coached on the benefits of raw meat by Elk-of-the-Black-Moon (the spirit of Black Elk himself?) at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation vision quest (this bit is confined to an appendix for no apparent reason), it takes a pack of wild coyotes to convert him: He has decided to fast to death in the desert instead of returning to a diseased civilization (fruitarians love stuff like this, no? ????
 )
 but the coyotes have other plans for him, eventually killing and offering him a rabbit which he eats, and after which, of course, he is reborn.
This is just the tip of the story’s iceberg, though. We learn not only about his troubled past and the “mandatory” health problems, but also about his teenage parenthood and “divorce,” and in general of his path from angry youth to health-seeker to “raw is law.” And he usually has some sort of detox going on: a poison mushroom took him many years to completely cure from, and an Electro Dermal Screening Device (whatever that might be) provided him ill-effects, including a most dramatic detox of bone epoxy used on his skull during previous surgery for an injury. The bonding with his estranged son, and his interaction with the hospital staff, family, and friends (including half a “pick-up” story about a woman in a health-food store which he never gets back to and finishes!) make the narrative surprisingly readable. In a Reader’s Digest “Drama in Real Life” sort of way. ????
As I’ve said, this is the mother of all testimonial/conversion stories ever put to print. Vonderplanitz’s new-age sensibilities lead to a high-pitched “Awww, come on!” reaction from a fellow like me, but it is a whale of a tale, and one suspects mostly true, or at least believed so by the author, who indeed makes an endearing and humble-humble narrator on such a journey. (Highlight: getting the yogis all revved up for the “pleasures of the flesh” by feeding them a diet of avos and citrus. “Awww, come on!” ????
 )
The section surveying foods, remedies, and therapies is much more troubling, and perhaps ironically much more intriguing to me. I am reminded of Dr. Henry G. Bieler’s Food is Your Best Medicine, Herbert Shelton’s Fasting Can Save Your Life, and most every new-age remedy book I’ve ever seen–all rolled into one, and with a RAF (raw-animal-food) slant to boot! Mr. Vonderplanitz does indeed seem to have a cure/recipe for every affliction from cancer to athlete’s foot, but at the same time he is big on following your intuition/craving/instinct–and that what works for one will not for another. His “theoretical explanations” are at once intriguing and head-slapping. Can you figure out which parts of the examples below are which to this reviewer?

The thought of delicious, heavily buttered garlic bread came to mind. I knew it was instinct, my body telling me what is needed to raise my blood pressure. I went back into my apartment and ate a raw clove of garlic with French bread and lots of unsalted butter. Within moments I felt better, satisfied. I decided from that moment on that at least 70% of my diet would consist of raw foods. (p. 48)
Fat resins and residues from cooked or processed green foods first collect in the intestines, becoming impacted. Secondly, they collect as gummy resins in the glands (as in prostatitis, leading to prostate cancer), and thirdly, they collect as gummy resins in the brain (as in Alzheimer’s disease).
XXX
The resins and residues from cooked or processed red fruits and vegetables most often collect in the lymph and skin, causing acne, sickly-looking tongues, hard and brittle bones, and deep lesions in the skin when the weather turns cold….
XXX
People who lack the enzyme-mutations for digesting, assimilating, and utilizing cooked or processed yellow foods most often look pasty around the nose and eyes, and have very slow digestion, especially after eating a cooked or processed yellow or orange food.
XXX
People who lack enzyme-mutations for eating all three food groups–cooked or processed green, red (including orange) and yellow (including orange)–have a predisposition toward HIV positive.” (pp. 136-137)
It is believed that whole raw eggs should not be eaten because albumin in egg white binds with biotin (part of the B-complex) in the body, causing side-effects. Egg yolk contains plenty of biotin to be utilized with albumin in egg white. The albumin/biotin combination is helpful because it helps to dissolve biocarbons and helps muscles retain carbohydrates. Whole raw eggs contain a wonderful, natural balance when eaten in a normal diet (whether the diet is raw or not).
XXX
In my experience with animals including human, who ate only the yolk and not the white (along with other foods on a raw diet), metabolism was considerably increased, usually withOUT increasing energy. The side-effects were that often hunger increased to a frenzy and dispositions tended to be irritable. It has been my experience in every case and condition that eating the whole raw egg was more nourishing, and better for metabolic and emotional balance. (p. 146)

And so on. His theoretical explanations (a la
 Bieler’s, and beyond!) seem like wholesale additions to modern nutritional myth and folklore. The lack of references (or intellectual humility, for that matter) severely limits his explanations, to my mind. Yet, given the paucity of info/experience of folks eating RAF over the long term, I am bound by curiosity to his experiences consuming large amounts of RAF, and his “clients” doing the same.
For anyone with the slightest interest in RAF, We Want To Live is almost must reading, but I would hope that any reader would be skeptical of the claims and explanations (and further hope that you don’t become a “raw butter mixed with raw honey” junkie!, though there are worse addictions in this world to be sure ????
 ).
 A non-instincto take on RAF is always interesting to someone like me who is steeped in instincto lore. Ronald Schmid’s Native Nutrition is far more informative and well-written, but lacks any of the first-person stuff in We Want To Live. But in such a paltry arena as RAF, beggars can’t be choosers as far as the books they might read. And there are many who prefer the testimonial approach much more than I do.
Mr. Vonderplanitz is reportedly a very polished speaker, and with his impressive physique (never works out, of course ????
 )
 and commanding presence is very persuasive in the few public appearances he has given so far. But, if he expects to be taken at all seriously, he will need to document his claims, be much more specific in his methodology (if there exist any specifics to his methodology), and back way off with his naive “theoretical explanations.”
Smooth talk and a likeable presence are probably enough for the uncritical minds of most folks into fringe diets–and Mr. Vonderplanitz is almost assured a small fringe following. But if he hopes to impress the mainstream (or get any attention from serious researchers) with the importance of his approach, he will have to provide documentation along with anecdote. He will have to provide a verifiable methodology as well as a winning smile.

Wall Street Journal

By Douglas MacMillan and Robert McMillanOctober 8, 2018

Google opted not to disclose to users its discovery of a bug that gave outside developers access to private data. It found no evidence of misuse.

Google exposed the private data of hundreds of thousands of users of the Google+ social network and then opted not to disclose the issue this past spring, in part because of fears that doing so would draw regulatory scrutiny and cause reputational damage, according to people briefed on the incident and documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

As part of its response to the incident, the Alphabet Inc. unit on Monday announced a sweeping set of data privacy measures that include permanently shutting down all consumer functionality of Google+. The move effectively puts the final nail in the coffin of a product that was launched in 2011 to challenge Facebook Inc. and is widely seen as one of Google’s biggest failures.

A software glitch in the social site gave outside developers potential access to private Google+ profile data between 2015 and March 2018, when internal investigators discovered and fixed the issue, according to the documents and people briefed on the incident. A memo reviewed by the Journal prepared by Google’s legal and policy staff and shared with senior executives warned that disclosing the incident would likely trigger “immediate regulatory interest” and invite comparisons to Facebook’s leak of user information to data firm Cambridge Analytica.

Chief Executive Sundar Pichai was briefed on the plan not to notify users after an internal committee had reached that decision, the people said.

The closure of Google+ is part of a broader review of privacy practices by Google that has determined the company needs tighter controls on several major products, the people said. In its announcement Monday, the company said it is curtailing the access it gives outside developers to user data on Android smartphones and Gmail.

Google Advertising Revenue Is Under Major Threat In Australia

Earlier this month a court in Australia reversed a lower court’s decision and ruled that the ads Google allows to run on its search engine are “misleading and deceptive”.

After this ruling by the Federal Court, Google was caught completely off-guard (typical Google arrogance of course) and they definitely were not expecting it to go in that direction. It also extremely worries Google and could set a threatening precedent to their business model. Google is concerned that the Australian court’s decision could be copied by other courts in different countries and it will hurt their bottom line. Google’s ad revenue is worth hundreds of millions of dollars in Australia alone.

Google will fight the court’s decision tooth and nail to avoid this from spreading and to make sure their money-making machine is protected. The company has less than 14 days to appeal the decision to a High Court. What Google is most concerned about is protecting their money and not making sure that their users are protected. This isn’t the first time that the company has gotten themselves in deep trouble over their ad business. The US government forced Google to pay up half a billion dollars for aiding and abetting a con artist commit his crimes (I will post an update story on this soon ,which I forgot to post).

The point is that Google has repeatedly shown that they are willing to accept money from every advertiser, every company, and even criminals if they can get away with it. They obviously have very little ethics and I sure wouldn’t trust them. Be careful clicking on those ads.

This Australian legal battle against Google is a very interesting one to watch. ABC News in Australia did a fantastic report on this story. The video is below and if you want to read the transcript, you can go to their website

Forbes: 6 Months Later and Google Plus Still Sucks

According to a writer for Forbes named Paul Tassi, Google’s latest attempt at social networking is still a failure. Mr. Tassi wrote about his dissatisfaction using Google Plus last year and he received some criticism from loyal diehards of the site – although most people would agree with Mr. Tassi’s observation that the site…well, sucks.

The Wall Street Journal a little while ago published an article claiming that the site is a virtual “ghost town” and users only spent like 3 minutes on the site per month. Of course Google denies this and released vague numbers to contradict any negative publicity.

Anyway, Mr. Tassi gave Google Plus some more time and a second chance to prove itself. He published another article today and he says that Google’s social networking site still doesn’t impress him. He wrote:

“…but I thought now was the time to revisit my thoughts on the site, quite a bit down the road. Over half a year has gone by since then. I’ve posted nearly every day to my G+ page, and have engaged others in conversation about many a topic… I still do not believe Google Plus is the social network it needs to be, nor do I believe it will ever pose a significant threat to Facebook in its current form.”

Mr. Tassi says that none of his friends use Google Plus and don’t seem like they ever will. His friends are using several other social media on the Web, including the red-hot Pinterest which I’m hearing a lot about lately. I think I remember reading someplace that Pinterest is credited for giving websites much of their referral traffic – far exceeding Google Plus.

Mr. Tassi believes that Google Plus appeals to a “niche community” of tech geeks and people who are in certain industries that find the site useful in connecting with the general public versus connecting with friends. Google Plus isn’t really a place you go if you want to connect with your close friends. He says that Google Plus is full of strangers who don’t comment much or engage with the site often. So even though he believes Google Plus isn’t necessarily a “ghost town” based on how you look at the numbers, it sure does give off the feeling that it’s empty and cold.

 I have posted an article on my blog calling Google Plus “pretentious” once. I actually think Google sells its social networking site as being a high-brow version of Facebook – as if Facebook is that place common folks exchange frivolous things with one another while Google Plus folks share more meaningful material. It’s typical Google arrogance.

Google’s social networking site does not look like it will get any better any time soon or ever. It’s been around for a long time now and the company has huge expectations for the site. Google desperately wants to see its struggling social networking site grow and become a success, there is a lot weighing on it. Yet even with so much invested in the site, Google cannot seem to win.

Victim Of Brutal Beating Says She Is “Afraid” of Google Executive’s Family.

 

There is disturbing bombshell news that has been exposed the other day and it involves a major employee of Google. Marissa Mayer has been with Google since the very early days of the company, she is often said to be the 20th employee of Google. As one of the very first employees of Google, Marissa knows a lot about Google and she is deeply embedded in this company. Her current job title is Vice President of Local, Maps, and Location services.

Marissa became a very wealthy woman after Google became a public company in 2004. She is often seen as the public face of Google itself. You see her everywhere doing all sorts of different interviews with newspapers and even on television programs like the Martha Stewart Show. She has become somewhat of a celebrity and a spokeswoman for Google. The company uses her bright smile and photogenic looks to give itself an attractive public image.

However, Google might want to keep Marissa out of the spotlight for awhile – perhaps never again. The innocent looking and charming woman Google used as the public face of the company is part of a family that isn’t so attractive.

Now, I have written here before that this blog doesn’t focus on tabloid topics or personal issues, but this particular case involving the Mayer family is different. I don’t like gossipy, irrelevant, and frivolous stuff – but I will focus on criminal activity that has strong connections to Google.

The younger brother of Marissa, Mason Mayer, has been accused of three felonies: assault, false imprisonment and domestic violence. He allegedly brutally beat his girlfriend, Kelli Ann Trent, after a night out back in September 2011. We are learning about this now because The San Francisco Appeal newspaper investigated this case and published their findings yesterday.

Alright – so here’s what happened, according to court documents obtained by the newspaper. An affidavit submitted by San Francisco Police Department Inspector Michael Becker, details exactly what allegedly happened between Mason Mayer and his girlfriend:

On the evening of September 24, Mason and Kelli were getting ready to go to a party. They were at Mason’s condo residence at the time. Prior to the leaving to go to the party, they had an argument over a woman – who Mason allegedly cheated with – attending the party too.

The couple went to the party but there was still tension between them. According to the court document, Mason angrily accused a bartender of hitting on his girlfriend. He also became angry at Kelli Ann Trent for speaking with Marissa Mayer’s husband. Mason apparently “dislikes” his brother-in-law for some reason.

The couple left the party and went back home to Mason’s condo residence. While walking through the building hallway, Mason shoved Kelli. He then took her inside the residence, locked her in his bedroom, and then threw Kelli on the floor of the bedroom.

Mason began spitting in the face of his girlfriend, pulling her hair out, and he slammed her head against the marble bedroom floor. Kelli was in agony and in the fetal position trying to protect herself. Mason repeatedly punched her in the face, while Kelli struggled to get away. He told her that the only way she was going to get out of the beating was by driving her to the Golden Gate Bridge and throwing her off it.

Luckily for Kelli, before things could get any worse, Mason’s cell phone started ringing. It was a friend of the couple who was calling to ask to pick up his personal items from the condo. While on the phone, Kelli screamed for help.

The friend eventually arrived at the condo residence and Mason answered the front door to let him in. Kelli ran out of the bedroom hysterical and crying out for help. Mason grabbed her and wouldn’t let her go. The friend asked Mason to let her go but he refused. The friend said that he would call the police if he didn’t let her go. After Mason finally agreed to let Kelli go, she went back into the bedroom to retrieve her bag.

But Mason followed her back into the bedroom and locked the door shut again. The friend decided to stay the night at the condo to make sure nothing bad happened. The next morning, Kelli got up and she noticed all the injuries to her body.

Kelli eventually went to the police to report what happened to her. The 33-year-old Mason Mayer was arrested by police on November 28, 2011. In January a judge ordered Mason to stay away from Kelli. He has pleaded not guilty – but if found guilty he faces a maximum four years and eight months in state prison. Mason Mayer has a pretrial conference in a Superior Court on April 18th, 2012.

This is all so disturbing and vile. I need a shower after reading the court documents and seeing the injuries on the alleged victim. Mason Mayer is apparently very close to his famous sister and lives off her success. According to The San Francisco Appeal newspaper, Mason lives in the same luxury building as his sister and he was never worked since his sister struck it rich working at Google.

Just keep this in mind: these are the type of people you entrust your personal information with when you use Google. I certainly wouldn’t want people like Mason Mayer and his executive sister anywhere near my personal data. Knowing about the ethics and morals of the people who handle very sensitive data about you is so important.

 If I don’t trust you, I will not do business with you – ever.

Federal Agency Fines Google $25,000 “Deliberately” Impeding Investigation

It was reported yesterday that the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined Google $25,000 for not cooperating with an investigation over Google’s massive invasion of privacy involving its Street View service.

The FCC said that Google “deliberately impeded and delayed” its investigation. Google made it very difficult for investigators to gain access to employees and hid important evidence. Google did not answer emails and the company even tried to hide the identities of the employees involved in the privacy violations from two years ago.

In 2010, Google’s Street View cars collected very private information from unencrypted home computers. When Google was caught doing this it apologized and said that it didn’t deliberately try to capture private data. Soon after the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigated and sided with Google’s explanation that it was a mistake. Although the US didn’t take the massive privacy violation seriously, European countries were more concerned.

Now the FCC has come out and exposed Google’s refusal to cooperate with the investigation. This is really embarrassing for a company that claims it’s so transparent about everything it does and is cooperative with regulators. This is not the first regulators have complained about Google’s secrecy, arrogance, and unwillingness to cooperate with investigations. The French data protection agency currently investigating Google’s new privacy policy said that Google neglected to contact them before implementing their controversial and intrusive privacy policy.

The $25,000 Google is now forced to pay will do nothing to the company’s bottom line. Google raked in about $40 billion last year. Over 90% of Google’s revenues come from advertising – this means that Google makes money by selling your personal data to advertisers. This is the reason Google consolidated their privacy policies into a singular policy – it makes it easier for the company to figure you out and it’s more profitable. A Google spokesman said that the company is on a mission to combat against “the faceless Web”.

Google paying a $25,000 fine is like an average person paying a one cent fine – but don’t get too hung up on the amount of that fine. The biggest hit Google received from this new report by the FCC is its reputation. Most people think way too highly of this company and if more reports like this come out to expose Google’s dirt then the better it will be for the general public.

I love what Christina DesMarais, PCWorld, wrote in her article:

“…if Google’s uncooperative behavior is true as the FCC maintains, the obvious question is, ‘What is Google hiding?’ Consumers and advocacy groups have often criticized Google’s seemingly insatiable appetite for personal information, such as its recent consolidation of its privacy policies so as to have a better view into user behaviors and preferences. Because of the amount of attention those privacy concerns have garnered, you’d think a policy of transparency on Google’s part would bode well with those who have doubts about whether or not the company can be trusted with increasing amounts of personal data.”

Things that make you go hmmm…

Three years ago, The New York Times published an article titled “Putting a Bolder Face on Google” and it’s a fantastic read. It focuses on Marissa and really let’s you know more about her character. Here are some interesting quotes about her in the article:

“Mayer, who is Google Employee No. 20…A popular guest on TV news programs and talk shows, a Google-booster often quoted in print, and a rapid-fire presence on San Francisco’s social scene, she is the rare executive who has become — at least in the sometimes cloistered world of computer geeks — a celebrity”

“Ms. Mayer, 33, plays a pivotal, serious role at Google…She is one of the few Googlers with unfettered access to and influence over Mr. Brin and Mr. Page”

A 2009 Gawker.com article described her as “the best known Google executive outside the search engine’s CEO, Eric Schmidt, and its billionaire founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin”

Ms. Mayer has even dated the current Google CEO Larry Page at one point. This is a woman very much part of the identity of Google and a recognizable face of the company.

I’m leaving you a video of her on the Martha Stewart show

Embarrassing Apples Is Responsible For The Vast Majority of Google’s Mobile Revenue

There are new revelations about the health of Google’s mobile business and it looks like Google is in really bad shape. Thanks to documents submitted in the legal battle between Google and Oracle over patents, the public gets a new look at exactly how well Google’s Android is performing.

Google is secretive about letting the public know about how much revenue Android brings in – but now we know that Android actually doesn’t make much money for Google at all. Google’s overall 2011 revenues totaled about $40 billion and much of that is from ads from search results on desktop computers. Very little of Google’s overall revenues is from mobile.

According to The Guardian, Android generated less than $550 million between 2008 and 2011 – pitiful. Google produces the Android software which it then gives away for free to handset makers to sell. Google makes its money from ad revenue on the mobile devices and from applications on Google Play (formerly known as Android Market), which is doing extremely poorly compared to Apple’s App store.

Here is where it gets particularly interesting – Google actually makes more money from Apple’s mobile devices than it does from its own Android powered smartphones! Now isn’t that hilarious, ha-ha, especially considering the recent bad blood between Google and Apple.

Apple is responsible for generating more than four times as much revenue for Google! This is because at least half of all smartphone owners use an Apple device and Google is the default search engine. Apple also extensively used Google Maps – but as recently told Google to get lost and is now using a mixture of its own acquired mapping technology and free crowdsourced mapping.

Who knew that Apple had such a big role in Google’s mobile business?

Majority of Google’s mobile traffic can be credited to Apple. Google should be grateful to Apple for being so helpful, but Google treats Apple like crap. Google expressed its gratitude to Apple by trying to impose itself into Apple’s territory, which infuriated Apple.

What did Apple do as payback?

Apple no longer extensively uses Google Maps, Apple added other search engines as alternative options to Google’s, and Apple appears to be ditching Google altogether in China (a huge and attractive market). And we all know about how Apple set its Safari Web browser default to automatically block third-party tracking cookies  – however, it was exposed last month that Google illegally circumvented this security feature, but is now facing countless lawsuits from Apple users.

Psst…hey Google…don’t bite that hand that feeds you.

Google Enjoy Too Much Media Cove Rage

I have made the claim that the media doesn’t give Google enough scrutiny and that the company often gets underserved favorable press. This is a major reason I started this blog in the first place, so that the average person out there can see what Google is really all about.

I remember seeing articles recently claiming that Google currently has the best reputation among any company in America. This is very disturbing considering all the sordid details I have been posting about Google’s lack of privacy, their pitiful ethics, their lies, the incessant lawsuits, and even criminal investigations. It’s disappointing and saddening that so many Americans put so much trust in this company – it just leaves me shaking my head and I think to myself “if only they knew better”.

I came across three really great articles comparing Google to Microsoft. I want to share these articles with you, but please don’t view this as me trying to sell Microsoft to you. I’m just using the articles to illustrate media bias and to show you how much Google has changed over the years.

The article published by InfoWorld’s J. Peter Bruzzese is excellent and lays out evidence to argue that the media unfairly bashes Microsoft way too often while Google’s errors are conveniently overlooked. He writes,

“I’ve noticed an unfair, ongoing trend: If Microsoft does something a little off, it gets bashed into the ground for it. But if Google… missteps, it generally gets mild reprimands and even support from the media and those drinking the Kool-Aid.”

Ever since I started this blog earlier this year I have been reading about the comparisons people are making between Microsoft and Google. These comparisons argue that Google has really changed for the worse over the years. As some of you probably already know, Google’s infamous unofficial motto is “don’t be evil”. In the early idealistic days of Google the company didn’t want to be like other established tech giants (i.e. Microsoft) because they perceived them as representing negativity and as being old-fashioned. But now people are starting to notice that little ol’ Google ain’t all that different from Microsoft – actually, some argue, that Google is worse now.

The article published by Forbes gives you 7 similarities between Google and Microsoft – perhaps now the pot should stop calling the kettle black– to read the Forbes article, please click here.

Finally, a very interesting article appeared on The Daily Beast website by Dan Lyons. The author spent 30 days using nothing but Microsoft products to compare it with Google’s products. He wanted to see if Microsoft can win him over and if Google’s products are really worth keeping. To find out what he concluded you gotta read the full article for yourself – click here

Google is currently enjoying much of the general public’s trust– but what is most hopeful is that this is slowly changing. As more people become knowledgeable and fed-up with Google’s antics, their arrogance, their invasion on our privacy, and other wrongdoings we will finally see Google fall off its throne. As any good business person will tell you, the most important thing in business is rightfully earning the trust and admiration of the public – once you lose this you’ve lost everything.

MARISSA MAYER IS NOMINATED TO SERVE ON WALMART’S BOARD

Google’s top woman has been nominated to serve on the board of Walmart. The massive retailer corporation made the announcement today that Marissa Mayer could potentially take the board’s 16th spot.

And yes, it’s that same Marissa Mayer…you know…the same high-profile Google executive whose brother allegedly brutally beat up his girlfriend and threatened to throw her off San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge…

At only 36, Ms. Mayer will be the youngest person on the board if elected at the company’s shareholder’s meeting on June 1st. I was reading through different articles about her nomination to board, many questioned whether she is the right fit for the company’s board. She doesn’t really have much experience outside of Google, if any at all. She was hired at Google straight out of graduate school in 1999 and shuffled around at that Google ever since.

Is she a one-hit wonder? Can her leadership skills at Google translate over to other companies that operate in a completely different way? Walmart seems to think that she can be useful in helping them with their online services. Google benefits from learning about how a retail giant does business.

Anyway, it’s interesting news and I thought it is worth posting. She said this in a statement:

“I have long been a customer and admirer of the company. Walmart is an amazing story of entrepreneurship and, as one of the world’s most powerful brands, touches millions of lives every day. I look forward to contributing to Walmart’s continued growth, success, and innovation in the years to come”

And according to Forbes, she also serves on the boards of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Ballet, the New York City Ballet and the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.

Google Executive’s Family Allegedly Made Life Of Abuse Victim A Living Nightmare.

Last month I published an article titled “Victim of Brutal Beating Says She’s ‘Afraid’ of Google Executive’s Family”. It was one of the most read and commented on posts I’ve published on my blog. I received great feedback and the vast majority of readers appreciate knowing about this disturbing story involving a major Google executive’s family. If you haven’t already read that article please do so before reading this one – click here

After I posted my article I received an email from a person who said they wanted to set the record straight about what happened to Mason Mayer’s alleged victim, Kelli Trent. This person told me that they were troubled by false information being spread around and asked for my assistance in having Kelli’s side of the story told.

This person told me lots of information about the Mayer family and the dysfunctional relationship between Mason Mayer and Kelli Trent. This person has politely asked that I not reveal their identity and so I have decided to respect their privacy. I will simply refer to this person as my “source” from this point on.

The information my source revealed to me is disturbing, to say the least. It will give you a greater sense of what happened before the night of the alleged abuse and what took place after that night.

Kelli Trent is an intelligent and hardworking young woman. She moved to San Francisco back in 2005 after completing college and has been consistently employed ever since. Her friends describe her as being very generous and she always tries to help out any way she could. My source wanted to point out that Kelli comes from “a decent amount of wealth herself” and that she often pays for the needs of loved ones without hesitation. She has held some jobs in banking and she even recently tried her hand in a startup company.

Kelli and Mason met back in early February 2011 on his birthday and they started dating immediately after that. Their relationship was very brief but even in that short time it was plagued with serious problems. My source alleges that Mason had been controlling and abusive toward Kelli on numerous occasions.

Mason had not lived in San Francisco for that long. He moved from Minneapolis in the fall of 2010 after his famous sister, Google executive Marissa Mayer, allowed him to live in her penthouse condo. My source alleges that the reason behind Mason’s move is due to him getting in legal trouble in Minneapolis after abusing a “rebound” girlfriend. Marissa apparently wanted to keep him away from “psycho girls” and moved him close to her. Mason and his ex-wife, Kara Mayer, divorced in July 2010.

After he moved to San Francisco and started dating Kelli everything was fine for the first few months. My source alleges that the abuse on Kelli actually began in May after she wanted to leave the relationship. The source showed me a photo of Kelli taken in May with a badly bruised inner arm. The source also alleges that a few days before the night of September 24th Kelli and Mason were at a gym and he didn’t like the way she was interacting with men. He allegedly threw her belongings around and got physically aggressive with her.

Finally the abuse escalated to what took place on night of September 24th. Kelli not only suffered physical injuries but she also sustained a concussion, was disoriented, and had fainting spells. After this incident, she took photographs of her injuries and sent them to Mason’s parents and Marissa was soon notified. My source claims that Kelli was shown little respect by the Mayer family and that they never asked if she was okay. Kelli demanded that Mason get help and the Mayer family came up with Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and therapy sessions – which Mason began two days after the family was notified.

The source claims that Kelli was never offered any financial assistance for her medical needs or for her therapy sessions, which she was badly in need of. Kelli pretty much had to suffer alone and isolated herself in the apartment she shared with a roommate. She didn’t go out much since the beating and only confided in a few close friends.

The source says that soon after, in early October, the Mayer family booked Mason a trip on a European holiday for two weeks, which Kelli took as being insensitive and an insult to her. The source says that the Mayer family neglected to understand the magnitude of the problems between Kelli and Mason. The family also didn’t hold Mason accountable for anything. This is when Kelli was starting to realize that she wanted out of the relationship and was pretty much done protecting the Mayer family.

Sadly, while the Mayer family was off on their European holiday, Kelli’s grandmother passed away. After hearing about her loss, she left to go to Tennessee to be with her family. While with her family, the source claims that Mason phone called Kelli and told her that she was not invited to the Mayer family pumpkin carving party. Marissa allegedly did not want Kelli at the party, which Kelli took as a slap in the face. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back and Kelli finally knew she was done with the relationship with Mason and done with the Mayer family.

Kelli came back to San Francisco on October 30th and Mason was at the airport to pick her up. This is when Kelli broke up with him. The source alleges that Mason was infuriated by this and showed up later in the day to Kelli’s apartment threatening to release nude photos of her and allegedly vowed to smear her reputation. Mason then took the witness of the September 24th beating to the family party.

On November 11th Kelli went to the police to report everything that happened to her. Keep in mind that Kelli and Mason were not together often since the night of September 24th and up until the day she finally reported the alleged abuse to the police. My source says that it took Kelli awhile to come to the realization that she desperately needed to leave the relationship for good. This is consistent with many victims of domestic abuse who feel like they can change their partner’s ways if they just stay in long enough and are often too afraid to leave.

Soon after a warrant was issued while Mason and the rest of the Mayer family were on their annual Thanksgiving holiday in Hawaii.

The source claims that this is when the campaign to discredit Kelli began and her reputation was torn to pieces. Kelli had her life investigated as Mason’s legal team started subpoenaing texts messages, called her former employers, contacted her ex-boyfriends, etc. The source claims that Kelli depends on a good reputation to secure jobs but obtaining employment in her field has become nearly impossible and that her life is in shatters.

The source described to me one incident in January when Kelli was asked to interview at a company event hosted at Founders Den – this is the workplace of Marissa Mayer’s husband, Zack Bogue. Kelli was in the middle of an interview at the event when suddenly Zack allegedly tapped Kelli on the shoulder and loudly told her to get out. Needless to say, Kelli was thoroughly shaken and embarrassed. She promptly left without finishing her interview. My source points out that Kelli had a stay-away order at the time which specified that any third parties related to Mason are not allowed to directly contact Kelli in any way, “so Zack had no right to speak to her that night”.

Kelli has now left San Francisco. This is a woman who depended on her networking capabilities to get jobs but life is harder for her now. The source says that Kelli never wanted to have all this trouble surrounding her – Kelli fell into a brief and tumultuous relationship with Mason which is a mistake she thoroughly regrets.

While Kelli has been suffering for the past 6 months – Mason has gone on holidays and he’s attended several San Francisco society events (thanks to his sister Marissa) such as the opening of a ballet and a Midwinter Gala. The source claims that Mason owns shares in Google, gifted to him by Marissa, and was invited to an exclusive Google company event featuring Lady Gaga back in March 2011. My source finds it revolting that Mason was being “flaunted” around by his family even after they knew what he did to Kelli.

Kelli has not retained a lawyer and is being represented by a District Attorney. The pretrial conference had been postponed three times since January and is now scheduled for April 18th – if found guilty Mason faces a maximum of four years and eight months in state prison.

Disclaimer: Everything in this post should not be taken as fact. They’re allegations described to me by the source and it’s from their point of view of what occurred. There are many sides to everything and this is just one. If there are any issues you have with anything written in this post please email me.

Eric Hague: Dear Google User….

Eric Hague is a humor writer – a funny letter he wrote pretending to be a member of Google’s privacy team was published by The Wall Street Journal today.

Google seems to think it knows what is best for us, knows everything about us, and is smarter than us – the amusing piece by Mr. Hague has a little fun with all that.

Apple Makes Business More Difficult For Google in China

It is being reported that Apple will be ditching Google in China and replacing it with Baidu as the default search engine. Baidu is the dominant search engine provider in China with a market share estimated at 78%, while Google doesn’t even come close to that number.

Apple’s new operating system will integrate various popular Chinese Internet services – this will make it more attractive for consumers. This will further weaken Google in China, which is a huge loss for the company because the Chinese market is a very attractive one. Apple is making it even more difficult for Google to get its foot in the door. Apple also plans to ditch Google as the default search engine on mobile devices in China.

Recently, it was also reported that Apple ditched Google Maps and is now using a free crowdsourcing mapping service for its mobile devices. It looks like the battle between Apple and Google is getting even more intense and Google is losing.

Google Plus Ad Campaign Is Boring and Fails To Promote Strugging Website

Google really doesn’t “get” social. It seems to me that they lack the ability to understand how people want to connect and how they interact. Google executives like Marissa Mayer have admitted that Google has fallen behind in the social aspect of the Web and they are desperately trying to play catch-up.

Well, today Google UK uploaded a video on YouTube advertising the company’s social networking site called Google Plus. The campaign to get more people to use Google Plus doesn’t impress me much. Their video is titled “Google+: Tom” and it shows a man going through life on Google Plus. We see the man add his wife to his circles, it then shows the couple’s newborn child, and other significant moments in life. The video ends with a future look at the aged man as he reminisces about his youth with his friends in a video chat.

Sorry, but the video is so dumb.

I find it so pretentious, over-the-top, and confusing. I don’t like how the video doesn’t show the consistent and linear progression of the man’s life. In my first passive viewing of the video I got confused about whose life was being shared – the dad or the child? When it switches from the little boy in the green school uniform to the prom scene, I thought it was the little boy grown up ha-ha…but it was actually the dad.

I had to take a closer second viewing of the video to catch the stuff I missed.

Afterwards the narrator goes on about being a solider, being in a cannon, being a Justice, and a wise soul ha-ha. It finally ends with a corny aged look of the man with his friends, and he then adds his grandchild to his circles.

I know what this video is trying to be, but I don’t think it successfully accomplished it. It doesn’t pull on the heartstrings, it doesn’t excite me, and it doesn’t make me want to use Google Plus. I don’t think the video is mainstream enough and, quite frankly, it’s boring.

Also, I really don’t want Google keeping decades of personal data of my life  “well saved” on Google Plus. No thanks!

FACEBOOK OVERTAKES GOOGLE IN BRAZIL AS THE MOST VISITED WEBSITE

 

Facebook has hit another important milestone in South America. Things are looking very promising in Brazil where the social networking giant is improving rapidly. Just this past January it was reported that Facebook is now the dominant social networking site in Brazil, beating Google’s now struggling Orkut.

And now – Experian Hitwise, a digital intelligence tool, is reporting that Facebook has surpassed all of Google’s properties to become the most visited site in Brazil. Over the past year, Facebook’s popularity has skyrocketed while Google is experiencing a gradual decline.

Facebook dominated Google as the most visited site at least five different times this year, mostly on weekends when visits to social networking sites tend to increase. Nevertheless, this is a great sign for Facebook and a disaster for Google. Perhaps Facebook might eventually overtake Google in other countries too…

Huge Fine Against Google For Violating Privacy Is Imminent

The other day the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a strongly worded report condemning Google’s privacy violations and the company’s deliberate obstruction of an investigation into the gathering of sensitive data off personal computers. 

The FCC was deeply disturbed by what Google did but they’re hands were pretty much tied and couldn’t take serious action against Google. The federal agency fined Google $25,000 for impeding their investigation and they said what Google did was technically not illegal. According to PCWorld, this is because the laws are not up-to-date with technology. What Google did was obviously an invasion of privacy and SHOULD be illegal but Google seems to have gotten away scot-free because there aren’t laws that protect Americans from criminals who steal their personal data off unencrypted Wi-Fi networks.

Anyway, I came across an article yesterday by the Mercury News stating that Google is about to be hit hard by another federal agency, this time it’s the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). As you all should already know, the FTC has been in the middle of conducting their investigation on Google’s illegal circumvention of Apple’s Safari Web browser.

The Wall Street Journal exposed Google back in February for deliberately bypassing the privacy and security settings of Safari users. Apple set the default setting on its Safari browser to maximum security to protect their users from tracking companies – Google hated this and used a secret code to bypass this security setting. This exposed millions of Safari users to tracking for months without them every knowing about it. Immediately after the Journal released their story several lawsuits against Google popped up.

Now, according to the Mercury News, the major fine against Google is imminent. The newspaper spoke to a source who says that the FTC will take action against Google within a month. The FTC already has a consent order against Google which was put in place late last year. Google violated the privacy of their users when they launched their failed social networking tool called “Buzz”. After an investigation, Google agreed to a settlement that would require the company to regularly submit a compliance report to the FTC and they agreed to two decades of close monitoring from the FTC.  Google also promised never to violate the privacy of their users or any company’s users – evidently they couldn’t keep their promise.

Google faces a fine of $16,000 per violation per day. There were millions of Apple users affected and victimized by this invasion of privacy so you can imagine that the fine could be colossal. Let’s hope the FTC puts Google in its place and hits them hard – Google definitely deserves it.

GOOGLE CHIEF EXECUTIVE SUNDAR PICHAI WAS BRIEFED ON A PLAN NOT TO NOTIFY USERS OF A SOFTWARE GLITCH THAT GAVE OUTSIDE DEVELOPERS POTENTIAL ACCESS TO PRIVATE DATA.

 

Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz talks about viruses and swine flu.Aajonus Vonderplanitz (April 17, 1947 – August 28, 2013) was an American alternative nutritionist and food-rights activist who focused on raw foods, especially meat and dairy. Especially controversial, he conducted legal battles and implemented legal workarounds for consumer access to raw milk, and developed a diet based largely on raw meat, the Primal Diet.[4][5][6][7] Yet his later years, marked by his allegations of conspiracies and by his infighting within the food-rights community, drew him notoriety even among advocates of alternative healthcare and food rights.
He claimed hospital diagnosis of cancer soon ruled terminal, but experiencing remission via raw carrot juice and raw dairy by age 21. Later, he began informal nutritional counseling. By age 25, he had adopted raw veganism. Yet at age 29, he added raw meat, which he claimed to vastly improve healing. After publication of his first book, We Want to Live, in 1997, he became a leading alternative nutritionist. In September 1986, at age 39, living in a Beverly Hills “slum” while freelancing in nutrition, Vonderplanitz returned to Cincinnati, Ohio.  There, his only child, his son, estranged for about 20 years, had recently been in a severe car wreck, driving, without a seatbelt on, straight into a tree.[29] Vonderplanitz claimed to have sabotaged his son’s conventional medical treatment, in Mercy Hospital‘s intensive-care unit, and used raw foods to awaken and retrieve his comatose son from imminent death, and to reverse his paralysis and brain damage.  Ten years after his son’s recovery, Vonderplanitz recounted the tale in his first book, We Want to Live, first published in 1997 and revised in 2005.
Upon the 1997 release of Vonderplanitz’s first book, Robert Atkins interviewed him, based by then in Malibu, on Atkins’s nationally syndicated radio show. Vonderplanitz had claimed that his own protocol had cured over 200 clients of cancer.[9] In 2000, Vonderplanitz trademarked the name Primal Diet.  Unlike later diets called “primal”,[e] Vonderplanitz’s Primal Diet principally includes raw meat, raw eggs, raw dairy, raw fats, and unheated honey.  In 2002, his other book, the Recipe for Living Without Disease, was published. Nearing 2010, he was still claiming over 90% rate of cancer remission among his clients closely heeding it.  Despite mainstream dismissal, his Primal Diet gained a sizable following.

We Want to Live

Volume One–Out of the Grips of Disease and Death (the story)
& Volume Two–Healthfully (the facts)



by Aajonus Vonderplanitz
(1997) Carnelian Bay Castle Press.

Review by Kirt Nieft

Copyright © 1998 by Kirt Nieft. All rights reserved.
This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for permission to republish.




As indicated in the subtitle, the book is divided into two parts. The first is the mother of all conversion/testimonial stories (125 pages worth). The second starts with a 5-page intro by Ron Strauss and is followed by an encyclopedic listing of foods and preparations (23 pages), then on to 90 pages of “food remedies,” and then 10 pages of “health methodologies.” (The “We Want to Live” web page contains the table of contents in more detail.) Finally, there are 33 pages of appendices (A-X) which are not labeled by topic but serve largely as extended footnotes of material from the “testimonial” section.Volume One’s “the story” is told as first-person narrative. The present-tense story starts with a phone call notifying Aajonus (pronounced like “homogenous” without the “hum”) that his long-estranged son has been in a severe auto accident and because of extensive head injuries is not expected to survive the next 24 hours. After stocking up on Californian raw honey, butter, papayas, etc., Aajonus flies out to stay with his son. By stealthfully replacing his son’s medications with raw-food recipes (initially a mixture of raw honey and butter placed under his tongue while he is in a coma) eventually the brain damage is miraculously repaired to a large degree. Along the way he battles with the hospital administration and policies.
We learn through extensive (and somewhat confusing) flashbacks of his own recovery from cancer and of the recovery of others due to his (mostly) successful nutritional counseling, and even hear about an out-of-body near-death experience (also part of his “conversion”) where the tennis shoes he is wearing melt onto the room’s radiator. We are further privy to his conversion to raw animal foods (he had previously been fruitarian/vegan). After being unsuccessfully coached on the benefits of raw meat by Elk-of-the-Black-Moon (the spirit of Black Elk himself?) at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation vision quest (this bit is confined to an appendix for no apparent reason), it takes a pack of wild coyotes to convert him: He has decided to fast to death in the desert instead of returning to a diseased civilization (fruitarians love stuff like this, no? ????
 )
 but the coyotes have other plans for him, eventually killing and offering him a rabbit which he eats, and after which, of course, he is reborn.
This is just the tip of the story’s iceberg, though. We learn not only about his troubled past and the “mandatory” health problems, but also about his teenage parenthood and “divorce,” and in general of his path from angry youth to health-seeker to “raw is law.” And he usually has some sort of detox going on: a poison mushroom took him many years to completely cure from, and an Electro Dermal Screening Device (whatever that might be) provided him ill-effects, including a most dramatic detox of bone epoxy used on his skull during previous surgery for an injury. The bonding with his estranged son, and his interaction with the hospital staff, family, and friends (including half a “pick-up” story about a woman in a health-food store which he never gets back to and finishes!) make the narrative surprisingly readable. In a Reader’s Digest “Drama in Real Life” sort of way. ????
As I’ve said, this is the mother of all testimonial/conversion stories ever put to print. Vonderplanitz’s new-age sensibilities lead to a high-pitched “Awww, come on!” reaction from a fellow like me, but it is a whale of a tale, and one suspects mostly true, or at least believed so by the author, who indeed makes an endearing and humble-humble narrator on such a journey. (Highlight: getting the yogis all revved up for the “pleasures of the flesh” by feeding them a diet of avos and citrus. “Awww, come on!” ????
 )
The section surveying foods, remedies, and therapies is much more troubling, and perhaps ironically much more intriguing to me. I am reminded of Dr. Henry G. Bieler’s Food is Your Best Medicine, Herbert Shelton’s Fasting Can Save Your Life, and most every new-age remedy book I’ve ever seen–all rolled into one, and with a RAF (raw-animal-food) slant to boot! Mr. Vonderplanitz does indeed seem to have a cure/recipe for every affliction from cancer to athlete’s foot, but at the same time he is big on following your intuition/craving/instinct–and that what works for one will not for another. His “theoretical explanations” are at once intriguing and head-slapping. Can you figure out which parts of the examples below are which to this reviewer?

The thought of delicious, heavily buttered garlic bread came to mind. I knew it was instinct, my body telling me what is needed to raise my blood pressure. I went back into my apartment and ate a raw clove of garlic with French bread and lots of unsalted butter. Within moments I felt better, satisfied. I decided from that moment on that at least 70% of my diet would consist of raw foods. (p. 48)
Fat resins and residues from cooked or processed green foods first collect in the intestines, becoming impacted. Secondly, they collect as gummy resins in the glands (as in prostatitis, leading to prostate cancer), and thirdly, they collect as gummy resins in the brain (as in Alzheimer’s disease).
XXX
The resins and residues from cooked or processed red fruits and vegetables most often collect in the lymph and skin, causing acne, sickly-looking tongues, hard and brittle bones, and deep lesions in the skin when the weather turns cold….
XXX
People who lack the enzyme-mutations for digesting, assimilating, and utilizing cooked or processed yellow foods most often look pasty around the nose and eyes, and have very slow digestion, especially after eating a cooked or processed yellow or orange food.
XXX
People who lack enzyme-mutations for eating all three food groups–cooked or processed green, red (including orange) and yellow (including orange)–have a predisposition toward HIV positive.” (pp. 136-137)
It is believed that whole raw eggs should not be eaten because albumin in egg white binds with biotin (part of the B-complex) in the body, causing side-effects. Egg yolk contains plenty of biotin to be utilized with albumin in egg white. The albumin/biotin combination is helpful because it helps to dissolve biocarbons and helps muscles retain carbohydrates. Whole raw eggs contain a wonderful, natural balance when eaten in a normal diet (whether the diet is raw or not).
XXX
In my experience with animals including human, who ate only the yolk and not the white (along with other foods on a raw diet), metabolism was considerably increased, usually withOUT increasing energy. The side-effects were that often hunger increased to a frenzy and dispositions tended to be irritable. It has been my experience in every case and condition that eating the whole raw egg was more nourishing, and better for metabolic and emotional balance. (p. 146)

And so on. His theoretical explanations (a la
 Bieler’s, and beyond!) seem like wholesale additions to modern nutritional myth and folklore. The lack of references (or intellectual humility, for that matter) severely limits his explanations, to my mind. Yet, given the paucity of info/experience of folks eating RAF over the long term, I am bound by curiosity to his experiences consuming large amounts of RAF, and his “clients” doing the same.
For anyone with the slightest interest in RAF, We Want To Live is almost must reading, but I would hope that any reader would be skeptical of the claims and explanations (and further hope that you don’t become a “raw butter mixed with raw honey” junkie!, though there are worse addictions in this world to be sure ????
 ).
 A non-instincto take on RAF is always interesting to someone like me who is steeped in instincto lore. Ronald Schmid’s Native Nutrition is far more informative and well-written, but lacks any of the first-person stuff in We Want To Live. But in such a paltry arena as RAF, beggars can’t be choosers as far as the books they might read. And there are many who prefer the testimonial approach much more than I do.
Mr. Vonderplanitz is reportedly a very polished speaker, and with his impressive physique (never works out, of course ????
 )
 and commanding presence is very persuasive in the few public appearances he has given so far. But, if he expects to be taken at all seriously, he will need to document his claims, be much more specific in his methodology (if there exist any specifics to his methodology), and back way off with his naive “theoretical explanations.”
Smooth talk and a likeable presence are probably enough for the uncritical minds of most folks into fringe diets–and Mr. Vonderplanitz is almost assured a small fringe following. But if he hopes to impress the mainstream (or get any attention from serious researchers) with the importance of his approach, he will have to provide documentation along with anecdote. He will have to provide a verifiable methodology as well as a winning smile.

Google opted not to disclose to users its discovery of a bug that gave outside developers access to private data. It found no evidence of misuse.

Google exposed the private data of hundreds of thousands of users of the Google+ social network and then opted not to disclose the issue this past spring, in part because of fears that doing so would draw regulatory scrutiny and cause reputational damage, according to people briefed on the incident and documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

As part of its response to the incident, the Alphabet Inc. unit on Monday announced a sweeping set of data privacy measures that include permanently shutting down all consumer functionality of Google+. The move effectively puts the final nail in the coffin of a product that was launched in 2011 to challenge Facebook Inc. and is widely seen as one of Google’s biggest failures.

A software glitch in the social site gave outside developers potential access to private Google+ profile data between 2015 and March 2018, when internal investigators discovered and fixed the issue, according to the documents and people briefed on the incident. A memo reviewed by the Journal prepared by Google’s legal and policy staff and shared with senior executives warned that disclosing the incident would likely trigger “immediate regulatory interest” and invite comparisons to Facebook’s leak of user information to data firm Cambridge Analytica.

Chief Executive Sundar Pichai was briefed on the plan not to notify users after an internal committee had reached that decision, the people said.

The closure of Google+ is part of a broader review of privacy practices by Google that has determined the company needs tighter controls on several major products, the people said. In its announcement Monday, the company said it is curtailing the access it gives outside developers to user data on Android smartphones and Gmail.

Google Advertising Revenue Is Under Major Threat In Australia

Earlier this month a court in Australia reversed a lower court’s decision and ruled that the ads Google allows to run on its search engine are “misleading and deceptive”.

After this ruling by the Federal Court, Google was caught completely off-guard (typical Google arrogance of course) and they definitely were not expecting it to go in that direction. It also extremely worries Google and could set a threatening precedent to their business model. Google is concerned that the Australian court’s decision could be copied by other courts in different countries and it will hurt their bottom line. Google’s ad revenue is worth hundreds of millions of dollars in Australia alone.

Google will fight the court’s decision tooth and nail to avoid this from spreading and to make sure their money-making machine is protected. The company has less than 14 days to appeal the decision to a High Court. What Google is most concerned about is protecting their money and not making sure that their users are protected. This isn’t the first time that the company has gotten themselves in deep trouble over their ad business. The US government forced Google to pay up half a billion dollars for aiding and abetting a con artist commit his crimes (I will post an update story on this soon ,which I forgot to post).

The point is that Google has repeatedly shown that they are willing to accept money from every advertiser, every company, and even criminals if they can get away with it. They obviously have very little ethics and I sure wouldn’t trust them. Be careful clicking on those ads.

This Australian legal battle against Google is a very interesting one to watch. ABC News in Australia did a fantastic report on this story. The video is below and if you want to read the transcript, you can go to their website

Forbes: 6 Months Later and Google Plus Still Sucks

According to a writer for Forbes named Paul Tassi, Google’s latest attempt at social networking is still a failure. Mr. Tassi wrote about his dissatisfaction using Google Plus last year and he received some criticism from loyal diehards of the site – although most people would agree with Mr. Tassi’s observation that the site…well, sucks.

The Wall Street Journal a little while ago published an article claiming that the site is a virtual “ghost town” and users only spent like 3 minutes on the site per month. Of course Google denies this and released vague numbers to contradict any negative publicity.

Anyway, Mr. Tassi gave Google Plus some more time and a second chance to prove itself. He published another article today and he says that Google’s social networking site still doesn’t impress him. He wrote:

“…but I thought now was the time to revisit my thoughts on the site, quite a bit down the road. Over half a year has gone by since then. I’ve posted nearly every day to my G+ page, and have engaged others in conversation about many a topic… I still do not believe Google Plus is the social network it needs to be, nor do I believe it will ever pose a significant threat to Facebook in its current form.”

Mr. Tassi says that none of his friends use Google Plus and don’t seem like they ever will. His friends are using several other social media on the Web, including the red-hot Pinterest which I’m hearing a lot about lately. I think I remember reading someplace that Pinterest is credited for giving websites much of their referral traffic – far exceeding Google Plus.

Mr. Tassi believes that Google Plus appeals to a “niche community” of tech geeks and people who are in certain industries that find the site useful in connecting with the general public versus connecting with friends. Google Plus isn’t really a place you go if you want to connect with your close friends. He says that Google Plus is full of strangers who don’t comment much or engage with the site often. So even though he believes Google Plus isn’t necessarily a “ghost town” based on how you look at the numbers, it sure does give off the feeling that it’s empty and cold.

 I have posted an article on my blog calling Google Plus “pretentious” once. I actually think Google sells its social networking site as being a high-brow version of Facebook – as if Facebook is that place common folks exchange frivolous things with one another while Google Plus folks share more meaningful material. It’s typical Google arrogance.

Google’s social networking site does not look like it will get any better any time soon or ever. It’s been around for a long time now and the company has huge expectations for the site. Google desperately wants to see its struggling social networking site grow and become a success, there is a lot weighing on it. Yet even with so much invested in the site, Google cannot seem to win.

Victim Of Brutal Beating Says She Is “Afraid” of Google Executive’s Family.

 

There is disturbing bombshell news that has been exposed the other day and it involves a major employee of Google. Marissa Mayer has been with Google since the very early days of the company, she is often said to be the 20th employee of Google. As one of the very first employees of Google, Marissa knows a lot about Google and she is deeply embedded in this company. Her current job title is Vice President of Local, Maps, and Location services.

Marissa became a very wealthy woman after Google became a public company in 2004. She is often seen as the public face of Google itself. You see her everywhere doing all sorts of different interviews with newspapers and even on television programs like the Martha Stewart Show. She has become somewhat of a celebrity and a spokeswoman for Google. The company uses her bright smile and photogenic looks to give itself an attractive public image.

However, Google might want to keep Marissa out of the spotlight for awhile – perhaps never again. The innocent looking and charming woman Google used as the public face of the company is part of a family that isn’t so attractive.

Now, I have written here before that this blog doesn’t focus on tabloid topics or personal issues, but this particular case involving the Mayer family is different. I don’t like gossipy, irrelevant, and frivolous stuff – but I will focus on criminal activity that has strong connections to Google.

The younger brother of Marissa, Mason Mayer, has been accused of three felonies: assault, false imprisonment and domestic violence. He allegedly brutally beat his girlfriend, Kelli Ann Trent, after a night out back in September 2011. We are learning about this now because The San Francisco Appeal newspaper investigated this case and published their findings yesterday.

Alright – so here’s what happened, according to court documents obtained by the newspaper. An affidavit submitted by San Francisco Police Department Inspector Michael Becker, details exactly what allegedly happened between Mason Mayer and his girlfriend:

On the evening of September 24, Mason and Kelli were getting ready to go to a party. They were at Mason’s condo residence at the time. Prior to the leaving to go to the party, they had an argument over a woman – who Mason allegedly cheated with – attending the party too.

The couple went to the party but there was still tension between them. According to the court document, Mason angrily accused a bartender of hitting on his girlfriend. He also became angry at Kelli Ann Trent for speaking with Marissa Mayer’s husband. Mason apparently “dislikes” his brother-in-law for some reason.

The couple left the party and went back home to Mason’s condo residence. While walking through the building hallway, Mason shoved Kelli. He then took her inside the residence, locked her in his bedroom, and then threw Kelli on the floor of the bedroom.

Mason began spitting in the face of his girlfriend, pulling her hair out, and he slammed her head against the marble bedroom floor. Kelli was in agony and in the fetal position trying to protect herself. Mason repeatedly punched her in the face, while Kelli struggled to get away. He told her that the only way she was going to get out of the beating was by driving her to the Golden Gate Bridge and throwing her off it.

Luckily for Kelli, before things could get any worse, Mason’s cell phone started ringing. It was a friend of the couple who was calling to ask to pick up his personal items from the condo. While on the phone, Kelli screamed for help.

The friend eventually arrived at the condo residence and Mason answered the front door to let him in. Kelli ran out of the bedroom hysterical and crying out for help. Mason grabbed her and wouldn’t let her go. The friend asked Mason to let her go but he refused. The friend said that he would call the police if he didn’t let her go. After Mason finally agreed to let Kelli go, she went back into the bedroom to retrieve her bag.

But Mason followed her back into the bedroom and locked the door shut again. The friend decided to stay the night at the condo to make sure nothing bad happened. The next morning, Kelli got up and she noticed all the injuries to her body.

Kelli eventually went to the police to report what happened to her. The 33-year-old Mason Mayer was arrested by police on November 28, 2011. In January a judge ordered Mason to stay away from Kelli. He has pleaded not guilty – but if found guilty he faces a maximum four years and eight months in state prison. Mason Mayer has a pretrial conference in a Superior Court on April 18th, 2012.

This is all so disturbing and vile. I need a shower after reading the court documents and seeing the injuries on the alleged victim. Mason Mayer is apparently very close to his famous sister and lives off her success. According to The San Francisco Appeal newspaper, Mason lives in the same luxury building as his sister and he was never worked since his sister struck it rich working at Google.

Just keep this in mind: these are the type of people you entrust your personal information with when you use Google. I certainly wouldn’t want people like Mason Mayer and his executive sister anywhere near my personal data. Knowing about the ethics and morals of the people who handle very sensitive data about you is so important.

 If I don’t trust you, I will not do business with you – ever.

Federal Agency Fines Google $25,000 “Deliberately” Impeding Investigation

It was reported yesterday that the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) fined Google $25,000 for not cooperating with an investigation over Google’s massive invasion of privacy involving its Street View service.

The FCC said that Google “deliberately impeded and delayed” its investigation. Google made it very difficult for investigators to gain access to employees and hid important evidence. Google did not answer emails and the company even tried to hide the identities of the employees involved in the privacy violations from two years ago.

In 2010, Google’s Street View cars collected very private information from unencrypted home computers. When Google was caught doing this it apologized and said that it didn’t deliberately try to capture private data. Soon after the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigated and sided with Google’s explanation that it was a mistake. Although the US didn’t take the massive privacy violation seriously, European countries were more concerned.

Now the FCC has come out and exposed Google’s refusal to cooperate with the investigation. This is really embarrassing for a company that claims it’s so transparent about everything it does and is cooperative with regulators. This is not the first regulators have complained about Google’s secrecy, arrogance, and unwillingness to cooperate with investigations. The French data protection agency currently investigating Google’s new privacy policy said that Google neglected to contact them before implementing their controversial and intrusive privacy policy.

The $25,000 Google is now forced to pay will do nothing to the company’s bottom line. Google raked in about $40 billion last year. Over 90% of Google’s revenues come from advertising – this means that Google makes money by selling your personal data to advertisers. This is the reason Google consolidated their privacy policies into a singular policy – it makes it easier for the company to figure you out and it’s more profitable. A Google spokesman said that the company is on a mission to combat against “the faceless Web”.

Google paying a $25,000 fine is like an average person paying a one cent fine – but don’t get too hung up on the amount of that fine. The biggest hit Google received from this new report by the FCC is its reputation. Most people think way too highly of this company and if more reports like this come out to expose Google’s dirt then the better it will be for the general public.

I love what Christina DesMarais, PCWorld, wrote in her article:

“…if Google’s uncooperative behavior is true as the FCC maintains, the obvious question is, ‘What is Google hiding?’ Consumers and advocacy groups have often criticized Google’s seemingly insatiable appetite for personal information, such as its recent consolidation of its privacy policies so as to have a better view into user behaviors and preferences. Because of the amount of attention those privacy concerns have garnered, you’d think a policy of transparency on Google’s part would bode well with those who have doubts about whether or not the company can be trusted with increasing amounts of personal data.”

Things that make you go hmmm…

Three years ago, The New York Times published an article titled “Putting a Bolder Face on Google” and it’s a fantastic read. It focuses on Marissa and really let’s you know more about her character. Here are some interesting quotes about her in the article:

“Mayer, who is Google Employee No. 20…A popular guest on TV news programs and talk shows, a Google-booster often quoted in print, and a rapid-fire presence on San Francisco’s social scene, she is the rare executive who has become — at least in the sometimes cloistered world of computer geeks — a celebrity”

“Ms. Mayer, 33, plays a pivotal, serious role at Google…She is one of the few Googlers with unfettered access to and influence over Mr. Brin and Mr. Page”

A 2009 Gawker.com article described her as “the best known Google executive outside the search engine’s CEO, Eric Schmidt, and its billionaire founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin”

Ms. Mayer has even dated the current Google CEO Larry Page at one point. This is a woman very much part of the identity of Google and a recognizable face of the company.

I’m leaving you a video of her on the Martha Stewart show

Embarrassing Apples Is Responsible For The Vast Majority of Google’s Mobile Revenue

There are new revelations about the health of Google’s mobile business and it looks like Google is in really bad shape. Thanks to documents submitted in the legal battle between Google and Oracle over patents, the public gets a new look at exactly how well Google’s Android is performing.

Google is secretive about letting the public know about how much revenue Android brings in – but now we know that Android actually doesn’t make much money for Google at all. Google’s overall 2011 revenues totaled about $40 billion and much of that is from ads from search results on desktop computers. Very little of Google’s overall revenues is from mobile.

According to The Guardian, Android generated less than $550 million between 2008 and 2011 – pitiful. Google produces the Android software which it then gives away for free to handset makers to sell. Google makes its money from ad revenue on the mobile devices and from applications on Google Play (formerly known as Android Market), which is doing extremely poorly compared to Apple’s App store.

Here is where it gets particularly interesting – Google actually makes more money from Apple’s mobile devices than it does from its own Android powered smartphones! Now isn’t that hilarious, ha-ha, especially considering the recent bad blood between Google and Apple.

Apple is responsible for generating more than four times as much revenue for Google! This is because at least half of all smartphone owners use an Apple device and Google is the default search engine. Apple also extensively used Google Maps – but as recently told Google to get lost and is now using a mixture of its own acquired mapping technology and free crowdsourced mapping.

Who knew that Apple had such a big role in Google’s mobile business?

Majority of Google’s mobile traffic can be credited to Apple. Google should be grateful to Apple for being so helpful, but Google treats Apple like crap. Google expressed its gratitude to Apple by trying to impose itself into Apple’s territory, which infuriated Apple.

What did Apple do as payback?

Apple no longer extensively uses Google Maps, Apple added other search engines as alternative options to Google’s, and Apple appears to be ditching Google altogether in China (a huge and attractive market). And we all know about how Apple set its Safari Web browser default to automatically block third-party tracking cookies  – however, it was exposed last month that Google illegally circumvented this security feature, but is now facing countless lawsuits from Apple users.

Psst…hey Google…don’t bite that hand that feeds you.

Google Enjoy Too Much Media Cove Rage

I have made the claim that the media doesn’t give Google enough scrutiny and that the company often gets underserved favorable press. This is a major reason I started this blog in the first place, so that the average person out there can see what Google is really all about.

I remember seeing articles recently claiming that Google currently has the best reputation among any company in America. This is very disturbing considering all the sordid details I have been posting about Google’s lack of privacy, their pitiful ethics, their lies, the incessant lawsuits, and even criminal investigations. It’s disappointing and saddening that so many Americans put so much trust in this company – it just leaves me shaking my head and I think to myself “if only they knew better”.

I came across three really great articles comparing Google to Microsoft. I want to share these articles with you, but please don’t view this as me trying to sell Microsoft to you. I’m just using the articles to illustrate media bias and to show you how much Google has changed over the years.

The article published by InfoWorld’s J. Peter Bruzzese is excellent and lays out evidence to argue that the media unfairly bashes Microsoft way too often while Google’s errors are conveniently overlooked. He writes,

“I’ve noticed an unfair, ongoing trend: If Microsoft does something a little off, it gets bashed into the ground for it. But if Google… missteps, it generally gets mild reprimands and even support from the media and those drinking the Kool-Aid.”

Ever since I started this blog earlier this year I have been reading about the comparisons people are making between Microsoft and Google. These comparisons argue that Google has really changed for the worse over the years. As some of you probably already know, Google’s infamous unofficial motto is “don’t be evil”. In the early idealistic days of Google the company didn’t want to be like other established tech giants (i.e. Microsoft) because they perceived them as representing negativity and as being old-fashioned. But now people are starting to notice that little ol’ Google ain’t all that different from Microsoft – actually, some argue, that Google is worse now.

The article published by Forbes gives you 7 similarities between Google and Microsoft – perhaps now the pot should stop calling the kettle black– to read the Forbes article, please click here.

Finally, a very interesting article appeared on The Daily Beast website by Dan Lyons. The author spent 30 days using nothing but Microsoft products to compare it with Google’s products. He wanted to see if Microsoft can win him over and if Google’s products are really worth keeping. To find out what he concluded you gotta read the full article for yourself – click here

Google is currently enjoying much of the general public’s trust– but what is most hopeful is that this is slowly changing. As more people become knowledgeable and fed-up with Google’s antics, their arrogance, their invasion on our privacy, and other wrongdoings we will finally see Google fall off its throne. As any good business person will tell you, the most important thing in business is rightfully earning the trust and admiration of the public – once you lose this you’ve lost everything.

MARISSA MAYER IS NOMINATED TO SERVE ON WALMART’S BOARD

Google’s top woman has been nominated to serve on the board of Walmart. The massive retailer corporation made the announcement today that Marissa Mayer could potentially take the board’s 16th spot.

And yes, it’s that same Marissa Mayer…you know…the same high-profile Google executive whose brother allegedly brutally beat up his girlfriend and threatened to throw her off San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge…

At only 36, Ms. Mayer will be the youngest person on the board if elected at the company’s shareholder’s meeting on June 1st. I was reading through different articles about her nomination to board, many questioned whether she is the right fit for the company’s board. She doesn’t really have much experience outside of Google, if any at all. She was hired at Google straight out of graduate school in 1999 and shuffled around at that Google ever since.

Is she a one-hit wonder? Can her leadership skills at Google translate over to other companies that operate in a completely different way? Walmart seems to think that she can be useful in helping them with their online services. Google benefits from learning about how a retail giant does business.

Anyway, it’s interesting news and I thought it is worth posting. She said this in a statement:

“I have long been a customer and admirer of the company. Walmart is an amazing story of entrepreneurship and, as one of the world’s most powerful brands, touches millions of lives every day. I look forward to contributing to Walmart’s continued growth, success, and innovation in the years to come”

And according to Forbes, she also serves on the boards of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the San Francisco Ballet, the New York City Ballet and the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum.

Google Executive’s Family Allegedly Made Life Of Abuse Victim A Living Nightmare.

Last month I published an article titled “Victim of Brutal Beating Says She’s ‘Afraid’ of Google Executive’s Family”. It was one of the most read and commented on posts I’ve published on my blog. I received great feedback and the vast majority of readers appreciate knowing about this disturbing story involving a major Google executive’s family. If you haven’t already read that article please do so before reading this one – click here

After I posted my article I received an email from a person who said they wanted to set the record straight about what happened to Mason Mayer’s alleged victim, Kelli Trent. This person told me that they were troubled by false information being spread around and asked for my assistance in having Kelli’s side of the story told.

This person told me lots of information about the Mayer family and the dysfunctional relationship between Mason Mayer and Kelli Trent. This person has politely asked that I not reveal their identity and so I have decided to respect their privacy. I will simply refer to this person as my “source” from this point on.

The information my source revealed to me is disturbing, to say the least. It will give you a greater sense of what happened before the night of the alleged abuse and what took place after that night.

Kelli Trent is an intelligent and hardworking young woman. She moved to San Francisco back in 2005 after completing college and has been consistently employed ever since. Her friends describe her as being very generous and she always tries to help out any way she could. My source wanted to point out that Kelli comes from “a decent amount of wealth herself” and that she often pays for the needs of loved ones without hesitation. She has held some jobs in banking and she even recently tried her hand in a startup company.

Kelli and Mason met back in early February 2011 on his birthday and they started dating immediately after that. Their relationship was very brief but even in that short time it was plagued with serious problems. My source alleges that Mason had been controlling and abusive toward Kelli on numerous occasions.

Mason had not lived in San Francisco for that long. He moved from Minneapolis in the fall of 2010 after his famous sister, Google executive Marissa Mayer, allowed him to live in her penthouse condo. My source alleges that the reason behind Mason’s move is due to him getting in legal trouble in Minneapolis after abusing a “rebound” girlfriend. Marissa apparently wanted to keep him away from “psycho girls” and moved him close to her. Mason and his ex-wife, Kara Mayer, divorced in July 2010.

After he moved to San Francisco and started dating Kelli everything was fine for the first few months. My source alleges that the abuse on Kelli actually began in May after she wanted to leave the relationship. The source showed me a photo of Kelli taken in May with a badly bruised inner arm. The source also alleges that a few days before the night of September 24th Kelli and Mason were at a gym and he didn’t like the way she was interacting with men. He allegedly threw her belongings around and got physically aggressive with her.

Finally the abuse escalated to what took place on night of September 24th. Kelli not only suffered physical injuries but she also sustained a concussion, was disoriented, and had fainting spells. After this incident, she took photographs of her injuries and sent them to Mason’s parents and Marissa was soon notified. My source claims that Kelli was shown little respect by the Mayer family and that they never asked if she was okay. Kelli demanded that Mason get help and the Mayer family came up with Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and therapy sessions – which Mason began two days after the family was notified.

The source claims that Kelli was never offered any financial assistance for her medical needs or for her therapy sessions, which she was badly in need of. Kelli pretty much had to suffer alone and isolated herself in the apartment she shared with a roommate. She didn’t go out much since the beating and only confided in a few close friends.

The source says that soon after, in early October, the Mayer family booked Mason a trip on a European holiday for two weeks, which Kelli took as being insensitive and an insult to her. The source says that the Mayer family neglected to understand the magnitude of the problems between Kelli and Mason. The family also didn’t hold Mason accountable for anything. This is when Kelli was starting to realize that she wanted out of the relationship and was pretty much done protecting the Mayer family.

Sadly, while the Mayer family was off on their European holiday, Kelli’s grandmother passed away. After hearing about her loss, she left to go to Tennessee to be with her family. While with her family, the source claims that Mason phone called Kelli and told her that she was not invited to the Mayer family pumpkin carving party. Marissa allegedly did not want Kelli at the party, which Kelli took as a slap in the face. This was the straw that broke the camel’s back and Kelli finally knew she was done with the relationship with Mason and done with the Mayer family.

Kelli came back to San Francisco on October 30th and Mason was at the airport to pick her up. This is when Kelli broke up with him. The source alleges that Mason was infuriated by this and showed up later in the day to Kelli’s apartment threatening to release nude photos of her and allegedly vowed to smear her reputation. Mason then took the witness of the September 24th beating to the family party.

On November 11th Kelli went to the police to report everything that happened to her. Keep in mind that Kelli and Mason were not together often since the night of September 24th and up until the day she finally reported the alleged abuse to the police. My source says that it took Kelli awhile to come to the realization that she desperately needed to leave the relationship for good. This is consistent with many victims of domestic abuse who feel like they can change their partner’s ways if they just stay in long enough and are often too afraid to leave.

Soon after a warrant was issued while Mason and the rest of the Mayer family were on their annual Thanksgiving holiday in Hawaii.

The source claims that this is when the campaign to discredit Kelli began and her reputation was torn to pieces. Kelli had her life investigated as Mason’s legal team started subpoenaing texts messages, called her former employers, contacted her ex-boyfriends, etc. The source claims that Kelli depends on a good reputation to secure jobs but obtaining employment in her field has become nearly impossible and that her life is in shatters.

The source described to me one incident in January when Kelli was asked to interview at a company event hosted at Founders Den – this is the workplace of Marissa Mayer’s husband, Zack Bogue. Kelli was in the middle of an interview at the event when suddenly Zack allegedly tapped Kelli on the shoulder and loudly told her to get out. Needless to say, Kelli was thoroughly shaken and embarrassed. She promptly left without finishing her interview. My source points out that Kelli had a stay-away order at the time which specified that any third parties related to Mason are not allowed to directly contact Kelli in any way, “so Zack had no right to speak to her that night”.

Kelli has now left San Francisco. This is a woman who depended on her networking capabilities to get jobs but life is harder for her now. The source says that Kelli never wanted to have all this trouble surrounding her – Kelli fell into a brief and tumultuous relationship with Mason which is a mistake she thoroughly regrets.

While Kelli has been suffering for the past 6 months – Mason has gone on holidays and he’s attended several San Francisco society events (thanks to his sister Marissa) such as the opening of a ballet and a Midwinter Gala. The source claims that Mason owns shares in Google, gifted to him by Marissa, and was invited to an exclusive Google company event featuring Lady Gaga back in March 2011. My source finds it revolting that Mason was being “flaunted” around by his family even after they knew what he did to Kelli.

Kelli has not retained a lawyer and is being represented by a District Attorney. The pretrial conference had been postponed three times since January and is now scheduled for April 18th – if found guilty Mason faces a maximum of four years and eight months in state prison.

Eric Hague: Dear Google User….

Eric Hague is a humor writer – a funny letter he wrote pretending to be a member of Google’s privacy team was published by The Wall Street Journal today.

Google seems to think it knows what is best for us, knows everything about us, and is smarter than us – the amusing piece by Mr. Hague has a little fun with all that.

Apple Makes Business More Difficult For Google in China

It is being reported that Apple will be ditching Google in China and replacing it with Baidu as the default search engine. Baidu is the dominant search engine provider in China with a market share estimated at 78%, while Google doesn’t even come close to that number.

Apple’s new operating system will integrate various popular Chinese Internet services – this will make it more attractive for consumers. This will further weaken Google in China, which is a huge loss for the company because the Chinese market is a very attractive one. Apple is making it even more difficult for Google to get its foot in the door. Apple also plans to ditch Google as the default search engine on mobile devices in China.

Recently, it was also reported that Apple ditched Google Maps and is now using a free crowdsourcing mapping service for its mobile devices. It looks like the battle between Apple and Google is getting even more intense and Google is losing.

Google Plus Ad Campaign Is Boring and Fails To Promote Strugging Website

Google really doesn’t “get” social. It seems to me that they lack the ability to understand how people want to connect and how they interact. Google executives like Marissa Mayer have admitted that Google has fallen behind in the social aspect of the Web and they are desperately trying to play catch-up.

Well, today Google UK uploaded a video on YouTube advertising the company’s social networking site called Google Plus. The campaign to get more people to use Google Plus doesn’t impress me much. Their video is titled “Google+: Tom” and it shows a man going through life on Google Plus. We see the man add his wife to his circles, it then shows the couple’s newborn child, and other significant moments in life. The video ends with a future look at the aged man as he reminisces about his youth with his friends in a video chat.

Sorry, but the video is so dumb.

I find it so pretentious, over-the-top, and confusing. I don’t like how the video doesn’t show the consistent and linear progression of the man’s life. In my first passive viewing of the video I got confused about whose life was being shared – the dad or the child? When it switches from the little boy in the green school uniform to the prom scene, I thought it was the little boy grown up ha-ha…but it was actually the dad.

I had to take a closer second viewing of the video to catch the stuff I missed.

Afterwards the narrator goes on about being a solider, being in a cannon, being a Justice, and a wise soul ha-ha. It finally ends with a corny aged look of the man with his friends, and he then adds his grandchild to his circles.

I know what this video is trying to be, but I don’t think it successfully accomplished it. It doesn’t pull on the heartstrings, it doesn’t excite me, and it doesn’t make me want to use Google Plus. I don’t think the video is mainstream enough and, quite frankly, it’s boring.

Also, I really don’t want Google keeping decades of personal data of my life  “well saved” on Google Plus. No thanks!

FACEBOOK OVERTAKES GOOGLE IN BRAZIL AS THE MOST VISITED WEBSITE

Facebook has hit another important milestone in South America. Things are looking very promising in Brazil where the social networking giant is improving rapidly. Just this past January it was reported that Facebook is now the dominant social networking site in Brazil, beating Google’s now struggling Orkut.

And now – Experian Hitwise, a digital intelligence tool, is reporting that Facebook has surpassed all of Google’s properties to become the most visited site in Brazil. Over the past year, Facebook’s popularity has skyrocketed while Google is experiencing a gradual decline.

Facebook dominated Google as the most visited site at least five different times this year, mostly on weekends when visits to social networking sites tend to increase. Nevertheless, this is a great sign for Facebook and a disaster for Google. Perhaps Facebook might eventually overtake Google in other countries too…

Huge Fine Against Google For Violating Privacy Is Imminent

The other day the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) released a strongly worded report condemning Google’s privacy violations and the company’s deliberate obstruction of an investigation into the gathering of sensitive data off personal computers. 

The FCC was deeply disturbed by what Google did but they’re hands were pretty much tied and couldn’t take serious action against Google. The federal agency fined Google $25,000 for impeding their investigation and they said what Google did was technically not illegal. According to PCWorld, this is because the laws are not up-to-date with technology. What Google did was obviously an invasion of privacy and SHOULD be illegal but Google seems to have gotten away scot-free because there aren’t laws that protect Americans from criminals who steal their personal data off unencrypted Wi-Fi networks.

Anyway, I came across an article yesterday by the Mercury News stating that Google is about to be hit hard by another federal agency, this time it’s the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). As you all should already know, the FTC has been in the middle of conducting their investigation on Google’s illegal circumvention of Apple’s Safari Web browser.

The Wall Street Journal exposed Google back in February for deliberately bypassing the privacy and security settings of Safari users. Apple set the default setting on its Safari browser to maximum security to protect their users from tracking companies – Google hated this and used a secret code to bypass this security setting. This exposed millions of Safari users to tracking for months without them every knowing about it. Immediately after the Journal released their story several lawsuits against Google popped up.

Now, according to the Mercury News, the major fine against Google is imminent. The newspaper spoke to a source who says that the FTC will take action against Google within a month. The FTC already has a consent order against Google which was put in place late last year. Google violated the privacy of their users when they launched their failed social networking tool called “Buzz”. After an investigation, Google agreed to a settlement that would require the company to regularly submit a compliance report to the FTC and they agreed to two decades of close monitoring from the FTC.  Google also promised never to violate the privacy of their users or any company’s users – evidently they couldn’t keep their promise.

Google faces a fine of $16,000 per violation per day. There were millions of Apple users affected and victimized by this invasion of privacy so you can imagine that the fine could be colossal. Let’s hope the FTC puts Google in its place and hits them hard – Google definitely deserves it.

Séamus 'Banty' McEnaney And 14 Family Members Rake In Over €130 Million To House Refugees

‘Banty’ McEnaney and family members rake in over €130m to house refugees

28/02/2024
 

Companies owned by GAA manager and businessman Séamus ‘Banty’ McEnaney and 14 other members of his family have been paid more than €130 million by the State to house asylum seekers and refugees since 2020.

Firms controlled by Mr McEnaney’s family received more than €50 million in payments between April 2022 and September 2023.

This is on top of over €83 million paid to a company belonging to Mr McEnaney himself since 2020, when the procurement of asylum accommodation was taken over by the Department of Integration.

The hotelier and former Monaghan, Meath and Wexford football manager was also among the highest earners from the direct provision system under the Department of Justice for several years up to 2020.

But providing accommodation for people seeking international protection or fleeing conflict has really become a family affair since 2022.

No fewer than 13 companies belonging to Mr McEnaney’s family members have secured lucrative State contracts for such accommodation since April 2022, shortly after the war broke out in Ukraine.

Seven of these firms received their first payment between April and June 2022, with one receiving its first payment in the final three months of the same year.

A further four companies received their first payments in 2023.

Mr McEnaney’s own company, Brimwood Unlimited Company, of which he is listed as director along with his daughters Laura and Sarah, was paid €83,128,338 between January 2020 and last September – the latest period for which the Department of Integration has released figures.

Oakgate Limited, set up in April 2022 with Mr McEnaney’s sisters Bernadette Walsh and Margaret McCarville listed as directors, was paid €9,771,896 between then and last September.

Margaret McCarville is listed as the 100% shareholder – as she is with JMA Ventures Limited, which was paid €7,527,734 in the same 18-month period. 

That company was set up in August 2021 and lists Ms McCarville as the sole director.

Corduff JG Enterprises Limited began receiving payments from the department in May 2022, and had received €9,171,723 by last September.

Mr McEnaney’s son Gavin is its sole director and shareholder.

Between April 2022 and last September, Longfield Ventures Limited was paid €7,639,141. It is jointly owned and directed by Mr McEnaney’s son John and his nephew Gary McEnaney.

And Rosscorp Limited, whose sole director and shareholder is listed as Mr McEnaney’s nephew Conor, was paid €4,477,690 from the department between April 2022 and September 2023.

Conor is also co-director and co-shareholder of Rossblue Management Limited, along with his brother Christopher. That company was paid €5,380,434.00 in the same 18-month period.

Copperwhistle Limited was paid €1,610,300.00 between April 2022 and September 2023. Its directors are Frank McEnaney, Banty’s brother, along with Frank’s wife Mary and his son Cahal. Mary is listed as 1,00% shareholder.

Foxstrand Limited was established in July 2022 and received its first payment three months later. It had been paid €769,080 by last September. Its 50/50 shareholders and co-directors are listed as Mr McEnaney’s nephews, Dylan and Kian McEnaney.

Of the four companies whose first payments came in 2023, Highgrove Property Limited has received the most money so far, according to available figures.

It was paid €3,034,013 in the first nine months of last year. It is a quarter owned by Mr McEnaney’s son John, a quarter by his nephew Gary, and half by Orla Marron, all of whom are listed as directors.

Brother Baghin Limited, established in July 2021 and jointly owned and directed by John and Gary McEnaney, was paid €2,772,960 between January and September of last year.

Fernboro Limited, which has the same ownership and directorship and was set up in March 2021, was paid €981,050 in the same period.

And Blueburn Limited, owned and directed by Christopher McEnaney according to paperwork on Vision- Net, was paid €1,042,020 over the same nine months.

In total, the 13 companies in which Séamus McEnaney and 14 other family members are involved have been paid €106,918,379 in taxpayers’ money since the beginning of 2022 for what the department lists as ‘Provision of accommodation and services’ or ‘Ukraine Accommodation and/or Related Costs’.

The Department of Integration paid more than €1.3 billion in the first nine months of last year to companies providing accommodation for International Protection Applicants (IPAs) and refugees from Ukraine.

Séamus McEnaney’s Brimwood was the second-highest-paid company, receiving a total of €28,863,543 from the State between January and September 2023. In 2018, a hotel linked to Mr McEnaney made a massive €2.58 million settlement to the taxman. The payment by the Westenra Arms Hotel Limited was the single largest settlement in a list of tax defaulters for the third quarter of that year.

The company behind the hotel is owned by another firm, Corvalley Enterprises, which in turn was owned by shareholders including Mr McEnaney, other members of his family, and Padraig Hegarty.

The settlement, made on foot of a Revenue investigation, was for the under-declaration of PAYE, PRSI, USC and VAT.

The huge sums of money paid by the State to private accommodation providers revealed in the MoS in recent weeks have sparked a planned investigation by the Dáil spending watchdog into the payments, which have enabled seven people to amass vast fortunes out of the deepening immigration crisis.

Earlier this month the Irish Mail on Sunday revealed that half of the companies earning the most lucrative State contracts to provide accommodation for refugees and asylum seekers are fully owned or majorityowned by entities based abroad, including in tax havens such as the Isle of Man, Guernsey, and the British Virgin Islands. Public Accounts Committee (PAC) member and Fine Gael TD Alan Dillon said the latest revelations underline the need to end the State’s reliance on private emergency accommodation.

Public Accounts Committee (PAC) member and Fine Gael TD Alan Dillon. 

In a stark criticism of his own Government, the Mayo TD said it is time the Coalition ‘got real’ and pushed ahead with plans for Statebuilt reception centres for asylum seekers as quickly as possible.

Mr Dillon told the MoS: ‘There is that elephant in the room here… How sustainable is this in the long run in relation to exchequer funding? It’s not, I think, and the sooner we can get the new reception centres built the better.

‘It’s really important we have a clear focus and a path on how we transition from using these companies which have now mushroomed up overnight in all parts of Ireland.

‘In many senses, those who have been validated early in the process have expanded into multiple sites. Who is authorising this and who is scrutinising it?’

While Mr Dillon stressed the Government has a responsibility to provide ‘safe shelter’ for genuine asylum seekers and refugees, he said: ‘There comes a point where the Government needs to get real with what they are facing and circle the wagons in relation to how much further they intend to go.’

He said: ‘There is the commercial element to subsume other hotels and properties into the same type of accommodation model, not for tourism or the local economy, but more focused on capitalising on the immediate accommodation crisis.’

PAC chair Brian Stanley said the lack of ‘clear procurement rules and controls’ relating to lucrative State contracts to accommodation providers ‘is an invitation to abuse’.

He told the MoS: ‘We need to determine the level of payments and who receives them. There are serious and legitimate questions; are a small elite creaming off huge profits at the expense of the taxpayer? There is genuine concern over the role of middlemen and fixers. What are the payment structures and what controls exist?’

The Sinn Féin TD added: ‘An entire class of fixers appear to have evolved. We need to know how they operate, are there controls and are the taxpayer and refugees protected. There is a worrying looseness. We need to move on from the current ad-hoc system.

‘It is an invitation to abuse.’

The MoS attempted to contact Séamus McEnaney and members of his extended family involved in the asylum accommodation business. However, none responded to written correspondence delivered to their homes on the outskirts of Carrickmacross and Monaghan town.

A woman answered the door of the red-brick bungalow where Mr McEnaney and his wife Rose Marie raised their four children. Set on a generous site, their home has been extended over the years and the property does not look out of the ordinary compared to neighbours’ houses in the area. In contrast, Esmore Hall on the outskirts of Carrickmacross, which their son John lists as his address, is an imposing residence.

Perched on top of a hill with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, the property lies behind a pair of imposing pillars, electric gates and meticulously maintained landscaped gardens.

John McEnaney’s uncle Frank lives in a similar-style property on the outskirts of Monaghan town, also at the top of a hill with an impressive driveway. Séamus McEnaney’s nephew Gary has also made a determined effort to protect his privacy. The entrance to his imposing two-storey residence, in a remote cul de sac, is also protected by electric gates.

Social Democrats TD Catherine Murphy, who raised the issue of companies running emergency accommodation in the Dáil this week

The settlement, made on foot of a Revenue investigation, was for the under-declaration of PAYE, PRSI, USC and VAT.

The huge sums of money paid by the State to private accommodation providers revealed in the Irish Mail on Sunday in recent weeks have sparked a planned investigation by the Dáil spending watchdog into the payments, which have enabled seven people to amass vast fortunes out of the deepening immigration crisis.

Earlier this month the Irish Mail on Sunday also revealed that half of the companies earning the most lucrative State contracts to provide accommodation for refugees and asylum seekers are fully owned or majority owned by entities based abroad, including in tax havens such as the Isle of Man, Guernsey, and the British Virgin Islands. Public Accounts Committee (PAC)member and Fine Gael TD Alan Dillon said the latest revelations underline the need to end the State's reliance on private emergency accommodation.

In a stark criticism of his own Government, the Mayo TD said it is time the Coalition "got real" and pushed ahead with plans for Statebuilt reception centres for asylum seekers as quickly as possible.

Mr Dillon said: "There is that elephant in the room here - How sustainable is this in the long run in relation to exchequer funding? It's not, I think, and the sooner we can get the new reception centres built the better.

"It's really important we have a clear focus and a path on how we transition from using these companies which have now mushroomed up overnight in all parts of Ireland.

"In many senses, those who have been validated early in the process have expanded into multiple sites. Who is authorising this and who is scrutinising it?"

While Mr Dillon stressed the Government has a responsibility to provide "safe shelter" for genuine asylum seekers and refugees, he said: "There comes a point where the Government needs to get real with what they are facing and circle the wagons in relation to how much further they intend to go."

He said: "There is the commercial element to subsume other hotels and properties into the same type of accommodation model, not for tourism or the local economy, but more focused on capitalising on the immediate accommodation crisis."

PAC chair Brian Stanley said the lack of "clear procurement rules and controls' relating to lucrative State contracts to accommodation providers 'is an invitation to abuse".

BRIAN STANLEY SAID THE LACK OF "CLEAR PROCUREMENT RULES AND CONTROLS' RELATING TO LUCRATIVE STATE CONTRACTS TO ACCOMMODATION PROVIDERS 'IS AN INVITATION TO ABUSE". PIC: SAM BOAL/ROLLINGNEWS.IE

He said: "We need to determine the level of payments and who receives them. There are serious and legitimate questions; are a small elite creaming off huge profits at the expense of the taxpayer? There is genuine concern over the role of middlemen and fixers. What are the payment structures and what controls exist?"

The Sinn Féin TD added: "An entire class of fixers appear to have evolved. We need to know how they operate, are there controls and are the taxpayers and refugees protected. There is a worrying looseness. We need to move on from the current ad-hoc system.

"It is an invitation to abuse."

An attempt was made by the paper to contact Séamus McEnaney and members of his extended family involved in the asylum accommodation business.

Seamus 'Banty' McEnaney And 14 Family Members Paid Over €130m To House Refugees

Seamus 'Banty" MeEnaney's Company Owns and runs the Ripley Court Hotel at 37 Talbot Street Dublin as emmergency accommodation for the  homeless and the vulnerable .. and gets paid around €200 euros per bed per night ..by the Dublin City Council...
Seamus 'Banty" MeEnaney's Company  is doing what he can to reduce operating costs and at the same time imcreasing revenues ...as much as possible in various ways, such
 1. Reducing the amount of staff, 
2. Employing staff on the cheapest wages as possible, on various government schemes which pay most of his conpany's employee wages... who either speak no or very little English, who have no experience or qualifications in the hospitality industry and/or social and/or humanitarian caring to know how to be caring and compatiinate to the homeless vulnerable people living at the Ripley Court Hotel at 37 Talbot Street Dublin.
3. For the last 3 month no longer employing hotel room cleaning staff for the last 3 plus months to clean each hotel room each week.. as was originally done for the previous last 4 years.. where Hotel Room Cleaners would vacume each room, clean each bathroom, change the sheets and provide a change of towels .. provide new toilet rolls etc.
 
4. Getting tenants to clean their own rooms,and removing the warm carpets that helps to keep the hotel rooms warm in the winter.. and replacing the warm carpets with cold lino..
5. No longer delivering meals to the hotel roòms with good fresh meals made in the Ripley Court Hotel  kitchen.
6. Providing premade meals in plastic containers that have to be collected from a fridge on the ground floor,  which have to be heated in a microwave oven which is well known that microwaving all meals in a microwave completely destroys all the nutriants in the meals. Wheres previously for 3 plus years meals were freshly made in normal gas ovens and hot plates ..the ways healthy meals are normally made.. with only using microwave in an emmergency on rare occassions.. rather than uding a microwave to hest up every meal 
7. Increasing the revenue by finding any manufsctured technical excuse to evict a tenant who has been living at the Ripley Court Hotel at 37 Talbot Street Dublin who has been living in a single bed room for 3 to 4 years... so Seamus McEnaney"s company can change each room from a single bed room  to a 2 to 6 bed room ...(2 or 3 double bunks will mean 4 to 6 people can be put in one room to share one small bathroom.. ).  Because the Dublin City Council for the homeless and vulnerable  or the State Governmemt pay around €200 per bed per night... thus a single bed room will give an income of €200 per night... whereas a two bed room will give an income of €400 per night... a 4 bed room will give an income of €800 per night .. a 6 bed room will give an income of €1,200 per night..

Emergency housing: How a small network of companies is making millions from a ballooning industry

One TD has called for more oversight into the provision of emergency housing.

LAST YEAR, BEFORE fire and smoke damaged the seven-bedroom residence known as Honeywood in Kildare, the property and its adjoining land were described by one estate agent in especially glowing terms.

“Undoubtedly this is one of the finest infill residential development opportunities to come on the market in Leixlip in recent times, offering the superb opportunity to create a high-class residential development for either the owner-occupier or to acquire a substantial residence on a mature superbly located large site,” a sale listing read. 

The property was bought for over €1 million last May by a company called Faldecs Limited, which had incorporated less than a year beforehand in October 2022.

The house appears to have remained vacant until it was set alight in a suspected arson attack on 7 February, after what Gardaí say was “a significant volume of misinformation” and claims it would house International Protection (IP) applicants.

Faldecs Limited may be a new company, but it had already changed directors by the time it bought Honeywood last year; in March 2023, developer Ronan Mallon – the company’s sole director when Faldecs was incorporated – resigned and was replaced by Ronan Holbrook.

Company records show how Holbrook and Mallon’s names interweave across a string of companies with property and business interests across the country.

Between them, they are listed as current directors of more than 50 companies, which include companies that have been paid more than €20 million between them in public funds for providing accommodation to Ukrainian arrivals and IP applicants in the past two years.

The activities of these companies shine a light on the multi-billion euro industry that’s sprung up around housing refugees in Ireland, and how businesses here are making vast sums of money out of the ongoing crisis.

The companies connected to Mallon and Holbrook are, at the same time, providing accommodation to refugees and asylum seekers on behalf of the Government during an emergency shortage of places for them to stay, and there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by those companies or their directors.

A spokesperson for the Department of Integration said that the increase in expenditure by the Government on accommodation for refugees and asylum seekers since 2019 was due to a significant increase in numbers of new arrivals.

“In 2019, less than 7,000 people were in State provided accommodation for asylum seekers,” a statement said.

“By the end of 2023 over 75,000 people were in State provided accommodation, with the general breakdown as one third international protection applicants and two thirds were Beneficiaries of Temporary Protection.”

Public spending skyrockets

With tens of thousands of people now seeking refuge in Ireland every year, increasing amounts of public money have been spent on finding somewhere for them to sleep.

The cost of doing so has skyrocketed since the pandemic, with Government spending on accommodation now dwarfing the total value of payments in the last years of last decade.

Figures from the Department of Justice (which was then tasked with housing of IP applicants) show that it spent just over €130 million on what it described as ‘asylum seeker accommodation’ in 2019, when 4,781 people arrived in Ireland seeking international protection.

By 2022, the spend on accommodation had almost doubled compared to pre-pandemic levels, with data from the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (which has since taken over from the Department of Justice) showing that €236 million was spent finding beds for new arrivals that year.

One reason for the significant increase was the fact that individual providers are being paid more than they were in 2019 for their services.

For example, Mosney Holidays plc, which operates a direct provision centre for hundreds of asylum seekers in Co Meath, was paid more than €20 million last year, compared to €9.9 million in 2019.

Next Week & Co Ltd, the company that runs the Abbeyfield Hotel at Ballaghaderreen in Co Roscommon where a number of asylum seekers live, was paid almost €7 million last year for IP accommodation, compared to €4.9 million five years ago.

And Millstreet Equestrian Services, which provides accommodation for hundreds of asylum seekers in Cork and Waterford, likewise made over €12 million last year, compared to €11 million in 2019.

It is possible that these companies were paid more because they hosted more refugees last year compared to 2019, or because the price of accommodation increased.

The Journal contacted Mosney Holidays plc (via the Mosney Holiday Centre), Next Week and Co Ltd and Millstreet Equestrian Services (via Millstreet Green Glens) via email to clarify whether this was the case earlier this week, but no response was received by the time of publication.

International Protection-11_90699754

More tourism providers are getting on board too.

Last week, Fáilte Ireland said that 12% of registered tourism accommodation in Ireland has been withdrawn for humanitarian reasons.

The body estimated that this was costing the Irish economy between €750 million and €1.1 billion, including €200 million in lost tax revenue, (though these figures have not been independently verified by The Journal).

One major factor has been the arrival of almost 70,000 Ukrainians following the invasion of their homeland by Russia, particularly at a time when tourism providers are also telling Fáilte Ireland that they are under pressure from rising costs. 

Despite the arrival of a record 13,651 IP applicants in 2022, Government spending on IP accommodation was around €136 million that year (the last full year for which figures are available), roughly the same as it was in 2019.

However, an extra €99 million was spent housing Ukrainian refugees on top of that.

As more and more Ukrainians continued to arrive in 2023, costs grew further.

The most up-to-date figures only show what was spent during the first three quarters of last year, but already reveal that costs for 2023 have far outstripped previous years.

According to Government data, more than €1 billion was spent housing new arrivals between January and September last year, the overwhelming majority of it – €870 million – going towards ‘Ukraine accommodation and/or related costs’.

The data also shows how the sector itself has ballooned, with ever more companies being paid increasing amounts of money for their services.

The 2019 figures from the Department of Justice show that just over 60 companies were contracted by the Government for IP accommodation, with only two earning more than €10 million – East Coast Catering and Mill Street Equestrian, who were paid €11 million each.

But in the first three quarters of 2023 alone, the Department of Integration contracted more than 800 companies, five of whom (Cape Wrath Hotel Unlimited, Brimwood Limited, Travel Lodge Hotels, Holiday Inn Dublin Airport and Guestford Limited) were paid more than €100 million in the first six months of the year alone.

New companies

Although the vast majority of companies given public money last year were already involved in the hospitality industry – like established hotel chains and B&Bs – a handful were new companies or are companies that have recently been taken over by directors who had no prior background in the sector.

There has been speculation that some of these companies are operated by beneficial owners – individuals who reap the benefits of owning a companies despite the company ownership officially being in someone else’s name.

Social Democrats TD Catherine Murphy raised the issue in the Dáil this week, when she questioned how the same group of individuals were able to buy a number of buildings, including some earmarked as accommodation for homeless people and asylum seekers.

“The former pub, the Shipwright in Ringsend, was intended for use by the Dublin Region Homeless Executive to house 16 families [...],” she told the Dáil.

“The ownership of the Shipwright pub, the building on Sherrard Street and Honeywood House in Leixlip are all linked.

“The same group of people in different capacities are involved in many buildings. Some of those who are purported to own these buildings are far from wealthy and there are legitimate questions about where the money is coming from.”

Ronan Mallon and Ronan Holbrook have at different stages been involved in companies that have earned millions from providing accommodation to Ukrainians and asylum seekers.

Among them were Me Libérer Limited, a company that currently lists Holbrook – the director of Faldecs Limited, which owns Honeywood – as its sole director and only shareholder.

The company was only founded in June 2022 and, as a new company, it is yet to file accounts so the extent of its assets is not publicly known.

However, it paid €1.6 million for a stately home known as Ryevale House (also near Leixlip) the same year it was founded. It was given a contract to house 80 IP applicants at Ryevale House from March 2023.

 

The contract was awarded despite Kildare County Council saying the same month that Ryevale House was not exempt from having to seek planning permission to change its use into accommodation for asylum seekers.

The council subsequently investigated the works carried out at the property – which is a protected structure – and issued a warning letter in May last year, saying that measures should be taken to address “alleged unauthorised use of the structure”.

Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman told the Dáil on 9 May last year that pending the outcome of the dispute, his Department had decided to use Ryevale House because of “the pressure on the State accommodation system” for IP applicants.

Figures from his Department show that almost €2 million was paid by the Government for the use of Ryevale between May and September 2023, all of it for housing IP applicants.

The planning notice against Ryevale House was not the last time that a property linked to one of Holbrook’s companies was subject to an enforcement notice by Kildare County Council either.

On 1 February, the local authority issued a notice, seen by The Journal, alleging that there may have been an intention to use Honeywood – which was set alight a week later after what Gardaí described as “misinformation” about the property – as a premises to accommodate IP applicants. There is no suggestion that Holbrook was involved in the attack.

Kildare County Council claimed that this use may have constituted an unauthorised development that would require planning permission (though there is no formal indication – such as a planning application – that shows that Honeywood was set to house IP applicants).

The Department of Integration said after the fire that it had not contracted Faldecs Limited to use the property to house asylum applicants before it burned.

Like Faldecs, Me Libérer lists developer Ronan Mallon as a previous director, a position he held for just two months between February and April 2023, during which the company acquired a mortgage from investor Glenigo Capital.

Mallon took over as director from Holbrook, before being replaced by him days after details of the mortgage were logged with the Companies Record Office.

Records also show that Faldecs Limited’s sole shareholder at the time of its last annual return in 2023 was a company called Jinus Limited, whose sole director was listed last month as Holbrook (and whose sole shareholder, in turn, was named as Mallon).

Other companies have similar arrangements involving the pair, including those which were not set up to provide accommodation for refugees or asylum seekers.  

Gris Developments Limited was set up in February 2023, and currently lists Mallon as its sole director after he replaced Holbrook – who was the company’s sole shareholder when it filed its most recent annual return – last August.

It owns the former Shipwright pub in Ringsend which caught fire on New Year’s Eve in similar circumstances to Honeywood: Gardaí are investigating the fire as an arson attack, and the pub was the subject of protests and misinformation before it was set alight. There is no suggestion that Mallon or Holbrook were involved in this attack.

The Dublin Regional Homeless Executive had confirmed to The Journal before the fire that it was seeking to use the building as emergency accommodation for families who presented as homeless.

Emergency accommodation

But these are not the only companies which Mallon and Holbrook have been involved in the provision of emergency accommodation.

Holbrook is also named as the current director of Rupopado Limited, the operator of the Eagle Heights B&B in Enniscrone in Sligo, which received almost €1.2 million for housing IP applicants during the first nine months of 2023.

The company, which incorporated in July 2022, had listed Mallon as a director between October 2022 and March 2023, during which it filed its first annual return, though as a new company it has yet to file accounts showing its turnover or any profit or loss.

An annual return filed in January 2023 named Jinus Limited – the company which is also the owner of Faldecs Limited, the owner of Honeywood – as its sole shareholder.

Mallon is named as the sole director of several companies which have never listed Holbrook as a director, and which have been paid more than €20 million since 2022.

They include Auburn Ventures Limited, the owner of the Kilkenny Inn Hotel which appointed Mallon as its sole director in February 2023; the company reported a loss of €502,726 up to December 2022 – two months prior to Mallon’s appointment – before being paid €2.9 million by the Government last year.

Its primary sole shareholder is Baroyle Limited, another company directed by Mallon which is in turn owned by Turphy Enterprises Limited, another Mallon-directed company in which he is the primary shareholder.

Mallon is also the director of Country Manor Hotels Limited, which runs the Celbridge Manor Hotel in Kildare.

Its most recent accounts, for the year up to 31 December 2021, show it had net liabilities of almost €2 million before Mallon was subsequently appointed its sole director four months later in April 2022.

The company was paid €3 million by the Department for IP accommodation that year, before receiving another €7.8 million in the first nine months of 2023.

Its only shareholder is the holding company Coldec Investments Limited, directed by Mallon who is its only shareholder.

Mallon is likewise the only named director of Sicuro Holdings Limited, which runs Harry’s Hotel in Kinnegad in Co Westmeath where the housing of asylum seekers was subject to a local protest in the summer of 2022.

Company accounts show that Sicuro Holdings posted a net loss of €288,013 at the end of 2021, before Mallon was appointed to the company in June 2022.

Months later, in October 2022, the company received two payments totaling more than €1.5 million were made to the company by the Department of Integration for the provision of IP accommodation. It reported a net profit of €823,690 that December.

Sicuro Holdings was then paid a further €3.8 million in the first nine months of 2023, more than €3.5 million of it for providing accommodation to Ukrainian refugees.

Its only shareholder is Coldec Holdings Limited, another holding company directed by Mallon, who is also that company’s only shareholder.

And last year, Mallon also took over as the director of Laupteen Limited, the owner of the My Place hostel on Gardiner Street in Central Dublin, in May last year.

The company had been paid more than €1.5 million by the Department since the start of 2022 before Mallon was appointed, after which it made a further €372,000 up until September 2023.

Laupteen also has contracts with Dublin City Council for the provision of homeless accommodation, though it is not known how much these are worth.

Other companies

Ronan Holbrook, meanwhile, is named as a director of companies with links to other new companies that have separately signed contracts with the Department for the provision of IP accommodation and which received millions from the Government last year. 

They include Amarilla Developments Ltd, owner of the former Burkes of Ballycastle tourist accommodation in north Co Mayo.

Amarilla only incorporated in February last year and lists an agreement with another company, DHMG Properties Limited, which signed a contract with the Department of Integration to provide IP accommodation on 9 January this year.

Holbrook is named as the company’s sole shareholder in an annual return filed in August last year.

Company records also show that Rio Azul Developments Limited, another company of which Holbrook is the sole director, has an arrangement with yet another company called DHMG Properties – its primary shareholder – which is listed as owning three houses on Upper Drumcondra Road in Dublin.

Figures from the Department of Integration state that DHMG Properties, which incorporated in June 2022, was paid over €4.2 million for providing IP accommodation in the first nine months of 2023.

It has never listed Mallon or Holbrook as a director, though its sole director and shareholder – Daire Turner – is named as the secretary of several companies where the pair currently or used to serve as directors.

The Journal attempted to contact Mallon, Holbrook and Turner for comment via the email address of a company directed by Turner this week, but no comment was received by the time of publication.

Social Democrats TD Catherine Murphy also told the Dáil this week that she had asked how the government decides to award contracts to companies like those above, and was informed that “the only real issue that is considered is if they are tax-compliant”.

She told The Journal that the State should be doing more to learn about such companies before they are awarded contracts, particularly as they are dealing with vulnerable members of society.

“We’re in an almost constant emergency situation in relation to the provision of accommodation, so a lot of those normal checks and balances are absent,” she said.

“Even if these public elements are are absent, you would be expecting that the relevant authorities would pay more attention to doing things like background checks on companies – more than tax-compliance, which I would regard as totally inadequate.

“I completely accept we’re in an emergency; but even in emergency situations, it’s really important that you don’t abandon the normal checks and balances, even if they’re done in a different way.”

The Death of Lord Jacob Rothschild, 4th Baron Rothschild On February 26, 2024 may well change the way the Rothschild Powerbase Behind Israel's Genocide of Palestinians In Gaza Operates

INLTVNews Secret Investigation Report shows how and why the real powerbase behind the Israel Gaza War and Israel's Genocide Aims on the Palestinian People in Gaza and the West Bank is connected to Lord Jacob Rothschild, and  the former British Zionist Jewish Leader Baron Lionel Walter Rothschild and the 1917 Balfour Declaration, which lead to " the formation of Israel  in 1948,  an episode that resulted in the ethnic cleansing of some 750,000 Palestinians from their land..."

Mr Musk tweeted "the bird is freed" and later said "let the good times roll".

 More Die After Vax Than From Virus In Taiwan [VIDEO]

COVID vaccines don't seem 'safe & effective' according to this report they don't want you to see

BY ZACH HEILMAN OCTOBER 14, 2021

 

Many people have speculated that the so-called COVID vaccines could be more

dangerous than the COVID virus itself.

Now there’s reporting out of Tawain that seems to back up that speculation.

News Anchor: In Taiwan, the number of people dying after their COVID vaccination

is exceeding the number of deaths from the virus itself. Taiwan’s health authorities say

that as of Monday, deaths after vaccination reached 865,

while deaths from the virus are at 845.

Vaccines currently offered in Taiwan include AstraZeneca, Moderna, Pfizer BioNTech,

and Taiwan’s own vaccine Medigen.

Out of the 865 deaths after vaccination over 600 were from AstraZeneca

and nearly 200 deaths after Moderna shot.

Quotes of the Month
“What happened to Kennedy is nearly what happened to me. America is in danger of upheavals. But you'll see. All of them together will observe the law of silence. They will close ranks. They'll do everything to stifle the scandal. They will throw Noah's cloak over these shameful deeds. In order to not lose face in front of the whole world. In order to not risk unleashing riots in the United States. In order to preserve the union and to avoid a new civil war. In order to not ask themselves questions. They don't want to know. They don't want to find out. They won't allow themselves to find out."
~ French president after returning to Paris from JFK's funeral on November 24th, 1963 (Peyrefitte's memoir in "It Was de Gaulle")

David Icke Talks About Powerful Elite Corruption

Major General Smedley Darlington Butler (July 30, 1881 – June 21, 1940), nicknamed the Maverick Marine, was a senior United States Marine Corps officer. During his 34-year career, he fought in the Philippine–American War, the Boxer Rebellion, the Mexican RevolutionWorld War I, and the Banana Wars. At the time of his death, Butler was the most decorated Marine in U.S. history. By the end of his career, Butler had received sixteen medals, including five for heroism; he is the only Marine to be awarded the Brevet Medal as well as two Medals of Honor, all for separate actions.

All Wars Are Banker Wars Part 3

In 1933, he became involved in a controversy known as the Business Plot, when he told a congressional committee that a group of wealthy industrialists were planning a military coup to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt, with Butler selected to lead a march of veterans to become dictator, similar to fascist regimes at that time. The individuals involved all denied the existence of a plot, which included the father of George H. W. BushPrescott Bush, and the media ridiculed the allegations, but a final report by a special House of Representatives Committee confirmed some of Butler's testimony.

Butler later became an outspoken critic of American wars and their consequences. In 1935, Butler wrote the book War Is a Racket, where he alleged imperialist motivations for U.S. foreign policy and wars (such as those in which he had been involved). After retiring from service, he became a popular advocate, speaking at meetings organized by veterans, pacifists, and church groups in the 1930s.

War Is a Racket is a speech and a 1935 short book by Smedley D. Butler, a retired United States Marine Corps Major General and two-time Medal of Honor recipient. Based on his career military experience, Butler discusses how business interests commercially benefit from warfare. He had been appointed commanding officer of the Gendarmerie during the 1915–1934 United States occupation of Haiti.

After Butler retired from the US Marine Corps in October 1931, he made a nationwide tour in the early 1930s giving his speech "War Is a Racket". The speech was so well received that he wrote a longer version as a short book published in 1935. His work was condensed in Reader's Digest as a book supplement, which helped popularize his message. In an introduction to the Reader's Digest version, Lowell Thomas, who wrote Butler’s oral autobiography, praised Butler's "moral as well as physical courage".

ALL WARS ARE BANKERS' WARS!
by Michael Rivero
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of a pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this world would be a happier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain slaves of the Bankers and pay for the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits." -- Sir Josiah Stamp, President of the Bank of England in the 1920s, the second richest man in Britain I know many people have a great deal of difficulty comprehending just how many wars are started for no other purpose than to force private central banks onto nations, so let me share a few examples, so that you understand why the US Government is mired in so many wars against so many foreign nations. There is ample precedent for this. The United States fought the American Revolution primarily over King George III's Currency act, which forced the colonists to conduct their business only using printed bank notes borrowed from the Bank of England at interest.

Why is it said that ISIS has been created by the CIA?
 

Well there are many theories which support the view that ISIS was nurtured, funded and in fact created by CIA. But possibilities are high that they did'nt know that the animal they were feeding would turn out to be a venomous snake.

These two actions have cost them (and the rest of the world) very dearly-

1.Iraq- It dates back to 2006 when Saddam Hussein was executed on several charges (that is a whole different story). It created a power vacuum in Iraq which lead to sporadic rise of several rebellious groups in Iraq.

2.Syria- Syria was also struck with a problem of its own. People in Syria were

 
 

The support of Islamic Terrorists by Western Security Agencies:

See UN Report: Israel has been materially aiding ISIS.

This is the moment when our Governments and controlled MSM narrative on the War on Terror has officially lost all credibility and begins to resemble a Walt Disney production.

Besides, how many more times can the American airforce "accidentally" drop weapons to ISIS/ISIL in Syria or Iraq's Anbar Province?

In 2015 the Iraqi's shot down both British and US Airforce planes delivering weapons and equipment to ISIS. That's one way to keep a US Military presence in a country. Secretly enable the very terrorist groups you're there to assist with eradicating. Why do you think Iraqi Parliamentarians stood up and demanded the US Military leaves Iraq?

How do you accidentally ship 3,000 tons of weapons to ISIS via Croatia?

Remember the pictures of the long convoys of ISIS fighters in their fleets of Toyota Trucks? The fleets of Toyota trucks (confirmed by Toyota) came from Saudi, Qatar, UAE and Jordan with about 60,000 vehicles purchased.

If the US had genuinely wanted to defeat ISIS they would have done it when they were an easy target striking the huge long conveys that were visible from satellites(!) moving East out of Syria and crossing the border into Iraq before the “inexplicable” fall of Mosul in the early summer of 2014.

Mosul citizens were used as human shields by ISIS as the US Coalition liberates the city.

Interesting how these terrorists are protected around oil producing regions...

This terrorism in Syria is a Western construct - See EX head of the DIA, General Flynn 2012 who warned that without tackling ISIS they would form a Caliphate.

Israel Gaza Palestine War (inltv.co.uk)

A new explosive INLTV News Book and Film Being Made Exposing The Hidden Darker Hidden Side of How and Why The Israel Gaza Hamas Palestinian War Started and Who Was Behind Arranging The Spark That Gave An Excuse For Israel and its USA War Crime Partners To Start Such War.

The Gate Is Open" ..

A new explosive  INLTV News Book and Film Being Made Exposing The Hidden Darker Hidden Side of How and Why The Israel Gaza Hamas Palestinian War Started  and Who Was Behind Arranging The Spark That Gave Israel and its USA Partners in War Crimes To Set About Demolishing Gaza and deliberately murdering thousands of  innocent women and children, along with causing  over 50,000 Palestinians to be injured by Israeli and US Bombs, Guns and Rockets, and the murder of more than 60 journalists ..using  starvation and a lack of safe clean water and  crowded tent cities with no toilets or bathrooms,  the Gaza Palestinians have been forced moved to as a  result of their homes being regularity bombed by Israeli and US Bombs and Rockets 

Why Gaza matters

The Ben Gurion Canal project

One of the original planned paths would go through the Arabah valley, cut west before the Dead Sea basin through the hills and curves north again to avoid the Gaza Strip

The US had once proposed to use some 520 nuclear bombs on the Negev Desert (Naqab) to help create the canal. With Gaza razed to the ground, there have been alleged plans to literally cut corners and reduce costs by diverting the canal straight through the middle of the Palestinian enclave. However, the presence of Palestinians there would remain an obstacle.

 Israel Gaza Palestine War (inltv.co.uk)

Since Israel launched its onslaught on the besieged enclave, it has pushed Palestinians to move south by relentlessly bombing northern Gaza before carrying out a ground invasion weeks later. At least 400,000 Palestinians have been displaced from the north to the south, according to statistics from the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS).

Some 800,000 Palestinians remained in areas considered "north" - namely past north of Wadi Gaza. Israel's indiscriminate bombing campaign, which has mostly targeted the north - has killed at least 11,470 people in Gaza - mostly civilians, including women and children.

The death toll has not been updated for days due to Israel's targeting of the largest hospital in Gaza, Al-Shifa, which was a centre for collecting data on deaths and the wounded.

Israel denies it has plans to annex the Strip but it had called for the "voluntary migration" of Palestinians in Gaza amid accusations that it was "ethnically cleansing" the enclave.

"If We Turn Enough Light On We Can Show All Children On Planet Earth Belong To All Of Us"... Madonna

“It breaks my heart watching what’s happening in Israel and Palestine,” she told the crowd. “It breaks my heart to see children suffering, teenagers suffering, elderly people suffering. All of it is heartbreaking, okay? I’m sure you agree. Even though our hearts are broken, our spirits cannot be broken. Are you with me?” After the crowd clapped in approval, Madonna continued. 

“A lot of people say, ‘Well, what can I do? I’m just one person.’ You feel hopeless. You feel helpless. What can we do? There’s a lot we can do. First and foremost, we can say, ‘I can make a difference because I individually can bring light into the world with my actions, with my words, each and every day.’ I’m sorry. This isn’t about lecturing you — but we are all together very powerful people. We can unite in a dark and evil way, or we can unite from a place of light and love. And if we all have that collective consciousness, we can change the world, and we can bring peace – not only to the Middle East, but to the whole world.”... Madonna

War in Syria: Staged Uprising NOT a Revolution

We know that Turkey & Israel were the largest buyers of looted ISIS oil (along with providing medical support for extremists as mentioned), whilst America was caught delivering 3,000 tons of weapons to ISIS via Croatia.

You know the "War on (of) Terror is a complete fabrication (See Ex FBI whistleblower Sibil Edmonds and Operation Gladio B) designed to placate UK Daily Mail Readers and Fix (Fox) News consumers while the European and Zionist Bankers exploit and loot natural resources of Foreign non US aligned countries. (See Rothschild’s Genie Energy and one of its subsidiary stealing Syrian Golan oil).

If your still not convinced that the Security Services have given support to Islamic terrorists here are two further pieces of evidence:

15 of the 19 Saudi Terrorist hijackers were given fast tracked US Visas via the CIA consulate in Jedda - they were being recruited by the CIA - see US Consulate whistleblower J. Michael Springmann who wrote the book "Passports for Al Qaeda."

Is the US responsible for creating ISIS?
 

Basically, yes.

America (and half of the world, to be fair - even Maoist China and isolated Australia) did fund terrorists who fought the USSR in Afghanistan, and who later took over and became the Taliban and Al Qaeda. From Al Qaeda's Syrian/Iraqi faction comes ISIS.

But I won't stop there.

America is also partially responsible for creating an environment where ISIS could survive.

We don't have the greatest track record for helping the people of the Middle East. We helped take down Muammar Gaddafi, who was without a doubt better for Libya than the current “government” there; to quote old Ben Keno

Did the U.S. really create ISIS? How?
 

The US did not deliberately create ISIS. But there would have been no ISIS but for American missteps and incompetence during the US occupation of Iraq.

Before we invaded in 2003, there were no armed islamist groups like ISIS in Iraq. Horrible as Saddam was, he had at least managed to keep a lid on them. Then we invaded, removed Saddam from power, and the Pentagon failed to issue the necessary orders for securing property. That led to widespread looting and a nearly instantaneous social breakdown in the absence of minimal security.

Then the Coalition Provisional Authority geniuses we put in charge

How was Isis made?
 

Ingredients for creating an extremist group like ISIS:

  1. Keep the government and army weak and unorganized.
  2. Blame the government for discrimination of minority group, round the clock in all of the media that you have.
  3. Unloose outside borders(in this case Iraq-Syria borders) so that anybody can pass the borders.
  4. Pay some money and weaponry to the rebellions and strengthen them.
  5. Stay outside the battlefield and take the advantages of sectarian war.

    War Is a Racket is a speech and a 1935 short book by Smedley D. Butler, a retired United States Marine Corps Major General and two-time Medal of Honor recipient. Based on his career military experience, Butler discusses how business interests commercially benefit from warfare. He had been appointed commanding officer of the Gendarmerie during the 1915–1934 United States occupation of Haiti.

    After Butler retired from the US Marine Corps in October 1931, he made a nationwide tour in the early 1930s giving his speech "War Is a Racket". The speech was so well received that he wrote a longer version as a short book published in 1935. His work was condensed in Reader's Digest as a book supplement, which helped popularize his message. In an introduction to the Reader's Digest version, Lowell Thomas, who wrote Butler’s oral autobiography, praised Butler's "moral as well as physical courage".

    ALL WARS ARE BANKERS' WARS!
    by Michael Rivero
    "Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create deposits, and with the flick of a pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and all the fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this world would be a happier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain slaves of the Bankers and pay for the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create deposits." -- Sir Josiah Stamp, President of the Bank of England in the 1920s, the second richest man in Britain I know many people have a great deal of difficulty comprehending just how many wars are started for no other purpose than to force private central banks onto nations, so let me share a few examples, so that you understand why the US Government is mired in so many wars against so many foreign nations. There is ample precedent for this. The United States fought the American Revolution primarily over King George III's Currency act, which forced the colonists to conduct their business only using printed bank notes borrowed from the Bank of England at interest.

    In War Is a Racket, Butler points to a variety of examples, mostly from World War I, where industrialists, whose operations were subsidized by public funding, were able to generate substantial profits, making money from mass human suffering.

    The work is divided into five chapters:

    1. War is a racket
    2. Who makes the profits?
    3. Who pays the bills?
    4. How to smash this racket!
    5. To hell with war!

    It contains this summary

War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

Butler confesses that during his decades of service in the United States Marine Corps:

I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.

Recommendations

In the booklet's penultimate chapter, Butler recommended three steps to disrupt the war racket:

  1. Making war unprofitable. Butler suggests that the means for war should be "conscripted" before those who would fight the war:

    It can be smashed effectively only by taking the profit out of war. The only way to smash this racket is to conscript capital and industry and labour before the nation's manhood can be conscripted. […] Let the officers and the directors and the high-powered executives of our armament factories and our steel companies and our munitions makers and our ship-builders and our airplane builders and the manufacturers of all other things that provide profit in war time as well as the bankers and the speculators, be conscripted — to get $30 a month, the same wage as the lads in the trenches get.

  2. Acts of war to be decided by those who fight it. He also suggests a limited referendum to determine if the war is to be fought. Eligible to vote would be those who risk death on the front lines.
  3. Limitation of militaries to self-defense. For the United States, Butler recommends that the Navy be limited, by law, to operating within 200 miles of the coastline, and the Army restricted to the territorial limits of the country, ensuring that war, if fought, can never be one of aggression.

CHAPTER ONE

War Is A Racket

WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.

How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle?

Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few -- the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill.

And what is this bill?

This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations.

For a great many years, as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket; not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it. Now that I see the international war clouds gathering, as they are today, I must face it and speak out.

Again they are choosing sides. France and Russia met and agreed to stand side by side. Italy and Austria hurried to make a similar agreement. Poland and Germany cast sheep's eyes at each other, forgetting for the nonce [one unique occasion], their dispute over the Polish Corridor.

The assassination of King Alexander of Jugoslavia [Yugoslavia] complicated matters. Jugoslavia and Hungary, long bitter enemies, were almost at each other's throats. Italy was ready to jump in. But France was waiting. So was Czechoslovakia. All of them are looking ahead to war. Not the people -- not those who fight and pay and die -- only those who foment wars and remain safely at home to profit.

There are 40,000,000 men under arms in the world today, and our statesmen and diplomats have the temerity to say that war is not in the making.

Hell's bells! Are these 40,000,000 men being trained to be dancers?

Not in Italy, to be sure. Premier Mussolini knows what they are being trained for. He, at least, is frank enough to speak out. Only the other day, Il Duce in "International Conciliation," the publication of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said:

"And above all, Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. . . . War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the people who have the courage to meet it."

Undoubtedly Mussolini means exactly what he says. His well-trained army, his great fleet of planes, and even his navy are ready for war -- anxious for it, apparently. His recent stand at the side of Hungary in the latter's dispute with Jugoslavia showed that. And the hurried mobilization of his troops on the Austrian border after the assassination of Dollfuss showed it too. There are others in Europe too whose sabre rattling presages war, sooner or later.

Herr Hitler, with his rearming Germany and his constant demands for more and more arms, is an equal if not greater menace to peace. France only recently increased the term of military service for its youth from a year to eighteen months.

Yes, all over, nations are camping in their arms. The mad dogs of Europe are on the loose. In the Orient the maneuvering is more adroit. Back in 1904, when Russia and Japan fought, we kicked out our old friends the Russians and backed Japan. Then our very generous international bankers were financing Japan. Now the trend is to poison us against the Japanese. What does the "open door" policy to China mean to us? Our trade with China is about $90,000,000 a year. Or the Philippine Islands? We have spent about $600,000,000 in the Philippines in thirty-five years and we (our bankers and industrialists and speculators) have private investments there of less than $200,000,000.

Then, to save that China trade of about $90,000,000, or to protect these private investments of less than $200,000,000 in the Philippines, we would be all stirred up to hate Japan and go to war -- a war that might well cost us tens of billions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of lives of Americans, and many more hundreds of thousands of physically maimed and mentally unbalanced men.

Of course, for this loss, there would be a compensating profit -- fortunes would be made. Millions and billions of dollars would be piled up. By a few. Munitions makers. Bankers. Ship builders. Manufacturers. Meat packers. Speculators. They would fare well.

Yes, they are getting ready for another war. Why shouldn't they? It pays high dividends.

But what does it profit the men who are killed? What does it profit their mothers and sisters, their wives and their sweethearts? What does it profit their children?

What does it profit anyone except the very few to whom war means huge profits?

Yes, and what does it profit the nation?

Take our own case. Until 1898 we didn't own a bit of territory outside the mainland of North America. At that time our national debt was a little more than $1,000,000,000. Then we became "internationally minded." We forgot, or shunted aside, the advice of the Father of our country. We forgot George Washington's warning about "entangling alliances." We went to war. We acquired outside territory. At the end of the World War period, as a direct result of our fiddling in international affairs, our national debt had jumped to over $25,000,000,000. Our total favorable trade balance during the twenty-five-year period was about $24,000,000,000. Therefore, on a purely bookkeeping basis, we ran a little behind year for year, and that foreign trade might well have been ours without the wars.

It would have been far cheaper (not to say safer) for the average American who pays the bills to stay out of foreign entanglements. For a very few this racket, like bootlegging and other underworld rackets, brings fancy profits, but the cost of operations is always transferred to the people -- who do not profit.

CHAPTER TWO

Who Makes The Profits?

The World War, rather our brief participation in it, has cost the United States some $52,000,000,000. Figure it out. That means $400 to every American man, woman, and child. And we haven't paid the debt yet. We are paying it, our children will pay it, and our children's children probably still will be paying the cost of that war.

The normal profits of a business concern in the United States are six, eight, ten, and sometimes twelve percent. But war-time profits -- ah! that is another matter -- twenty, sixty, one hundred, three hundred, and even eighteen hundred per cent -- the sky is the limit. All that traffic will bear. Uncle Sam has the money. Let's get it.

Of course, it isn't put that crudely in war time. It is dressed into speeches about patriotism, love of country, and "we must all put our shoulders to the wheel," but the profits jump and leap and skyrocket -- and are safely pocketed. Let's just take a few examples:

Take our friends the du Ponts, the powder people -- didn't one of them testify before a Senate committee recently that their powder won the war? Or saved the world for democracy? Or something? How did they do in the war? They were a patriotic corporation. Well, the average earnings of the du Ponts for the period 1910 to 1914 were $6,000,000 a year. It wasn't much, but the du Ponts managed to get along on it. Now let's look at their average yearly profit during the war years, 1914 to 1918. Fifty-eight million dollars a year profit we find! Nearly ten times that of normal times, and the profits of normal times were pretty good. An increase in profits of more than 950 per cent.

Take one of our little steel companies that patriotically shunted aside the making of rails and girders and bridges to manufacture war materials. Well, their 1910-1914 yearly earnings averaged $6,000,000. Then came the war. And, like loyal citizens, Bethlehem Steel promptly turned to munitions making. Did their profits jump -- or did they let Uncle Sam in for a bargain? Well, their 1914-1918 average was $49,000,000 a year!

Or, let's take United States Steel. The normal earnings during the five-year period prior to the war were $105,000,000 a year. Not bad. Then along came the war and up went the profits. The average yearly profit for the period 1914-1918 was $240,000,000. Not bad.

There you have some of the steel and powder earnings. Let's look at something else. A little copper, perhaps. That always does well in war times.

Anaconda, for instance. Average yearly earnings during the pre-war years 1910-1914 of $10,000,000. During the war years 1914-1918 profits leaped to $34,000,000 per year.

Or Utah Copper. Average of $5,000,000 per year during the 1910-1914 period. Jumped to an average of $21,000,000 yearly profits for the war period.

Let's group these five, with three smaller companies. The total yearly average profits of the pre-war period 1910-1914 were $137,480,000. Then along came the war. The average yearly profits for this group skyrocketed to $408,300,000.

A little increase in profits of approximately 200 per cent.

Does war pay? It paid them. But they aren't the only ones. There are still others. Let's take leather.

For the three-year period before the war the total profits of Central Leather Company were $3,500,000. That was approximately $1,167,000 a year. Well, in 1916 Central Leather returned a profit of $15,000,000, a small increase of 1,100 per cent. That's all. The General Chemical Company averaged a profit for the three years before the war of a little over $800,000 a year. Came the war, and the profits jumped to $12,000,000. a leap of 1,400 per cent.

International Nickel Company -- and you can't have a war without nickel -- showed an increase in profits from a mere average of $4,000,000 a year to $73,000,000 yearly. Not bad? An increase of more than 1,700 per cent.

American Sugar Refining Company averaged $2,000,000 a year for the three years before the war. In 1916 a profit of $6,000,000 was recorded.

Listen to Senate Document No. 259. The Sixty-Fifth Congress, reporting on corporate earnings and government revenues. Considering the profits of 122 meat packers, 153 cotton manufacturers, 299 garment makers, 49 steel plants, and 340 coal producers during the war. Profits under 25 per cent were exceptional. For instance the coal companies made between 100 per cent and 7,856 per cent on their capital stock during the war. The Chicago packers doubled and tripled their earnings.

And let us not forget the bankers who financed the great war. If anyone had the cream of the profits it was the bankers. Being partnerships rather than incorporated organizations, they do not have to report to stockholders. And their profits were as secret as they were immense. How the bankers made their millions and their billions I do not know, because those little secrets never become public -- even before a Senate investigatory body.

But here's how some of the other patriotic industrialists and speculators chiseled their way into war profits.

Take the shoe people. They like war. It brings business with abnormal profits. They made huge profits on sales abroad to our allies. Perhaps, like the munitions manufacturers and armament makers, they also sold to the enemy. For a dollar is a dollar whether it comes from Germany or from France. But they did well by Uncle Sam too. For instance, they sold Uncle Sam 35,000,000 pairs of hobnailed service shoes. There were 4,000,000 soldiers. Eight pairs, and more, to a soldier. My regiment during the war had only one pair to a soldier. Some of these shoes probably are still in existence. They were good shoes. But when the war was over Uncle Sam has a matter of 25,000,000 pairs left over. Bought -- and paid for. Profits recorded and pocketed.

There was still lots of leather left. So the leather people sold your Uncle Sam hundreds of thousands of McClellan saddles for the cavalry. But there wasn't any American cavalry overseas! Somebody had to get rid of this leather, however. Somebody had to make a profit in it -- so we had a lot of McClellan saddles. And we probably have those yet.

Also somebody had a lot of mosquito netting. They sold your Uncle Sam 20,000,000 mosquito nets for the use of the soldiers overseas. I suppose the boys were expected to put it over them as they tried to sleep in muddy trenches -- one hand scratching cooties on their backs and the other making passes at scurrying rats. Well, not one of these mosquito nets ever got to France!

Anyhow, these thoughtful manufacturers wanted to make sure that no soldier would be without his mosquito net, so 40,000,000 additional yards of mosquito netting were sold to Uncle Sam.

There were pretty good profits in mosquito netting in those days, even if there were no mosquitoes in France. I suppose, if the war had lasted just a little longer, the enterprising mosquito netting manufacturers would have sold your Uncle Sam a couple of consignments of mosquitoes to plant in France so that more mosquito netting would be in order.

Airplane and engine manufacturers felt they, too, should get their just profits out of this war. Why not? Everybody else was getting theirs. So $1,000,000,000 -- count them if you live long enough -- was spent by Uncle Sam in building airplane engines that never left the ground! Not one plane, or motor, out of the billion dollars worth ordered, ever got into a battle in France. Just the same the manufacturers made their little profit of 30, 100, or perhaps 300 per cent.

Undershirts for soldiers cost 14¢ [cents] to make and uncle Sam paid 30¢ to 40¢ each for them -- a nice little profit for the undershirt manufacturer. And the stocking manufacturer and the uniform manufacturers and the cap manufacturers and the steel helmet manufacturers -- all got theirs.

Why, when the war was over some 4,000,000 sets of equipment -- knapsacks and the things that go to fill them -- crammed warehouses on this side. Now they are being scrapped because the regulations have changed the contents. But the manufacturers collected their wartime profits on them -- and they will do it all over again the next time.

There were lots of brilliant ideas for profit making during the war.

One very versatile patriot sold Uncle Sam twelve dozen 48-inch wrenches. Oh, they were very nice wrenches. The only trouble was that there was only one nut ever made that was large enough for these wrenches. That is the one that holds the turbines at Niagara Falls. Well, after Uncle Sam had bought them and the manufacturer had pocketed the profit, the wrenches were put on freight cars and shunted all around the United States in an effort to find a use for them. When the Armistice was signed it was indeed a sad blow to the wrench manufacturer. He was just about to make some nuts to fit the wrenches. Then he planned to sell these, too, to your Uncle Sam.

Still another had the brilliant idea that colonels shouldn't ride in automobiles, nor should they even ride on horseback. One has probably seen a picture of Andy Jackson riding in a buckboard. Well, some 6,000 buckboards were sold to Uncle Sam for the use of colonels! Not one of them was used. But the buckboard manufacturer got his war profit.

The shipbuilders felt they should come in on some of it, too. They built a lot of ships that made a lot of profit. More than $3,000,000,000 worth. Some of the ships were all right. But $635,000,000 worth of them were made of wood and wouldn't float! The seams opened up -- and they sank. We paid for them, though. And somebody pocketed the profits.

It has been estimated by statisticians and economists and researchers that the war cost your Uncle Sam $52,000,000,000. Of this sum, $39,000,000,000 was expended in the actual war itself. This expenditure yielded $16,000,000,000 in profits. That is how the 21,000 billionaires and millionaires got that way. This $16,000,000,000 profits is not to be sneezed at. It is quite a tidy sum. And it went to a very few.

The Senate (Nye) committee probe of the munitions industry and its wartime profits, despite its sensational disclosures, hardly has scratched the surface.

Even so, it has had some effect. The State Department has been studying "for some time" methods of keeping out of war. The War Department suddenly decides it has a wonderful plan to spring. The Administration names a committee -- with the War and Navy Departments ably represented under the chairmanship of a Wall Street speculator -- to limit profits in war time. To what extent isn't suggested. Hmmm. Possibly the profits of 300 and 600 and 1,600 per cent of those who turned blood into gold in the World War would be limited to some smaller figure.

Apparently, however, the plan does not call for any limitation of losses -- that is, the losses of those who fight the war. As far as I have been able to ascertain there is nothing in the scheme to limit a soldier to the loss of but one eye, or one arm, or to limit his wounds to one or two or three. Or to limit the loss of life.

There is nothing in this scheme, apparently, that says not more than 12 per cent of a regiment shall be wounded in battle, or that not more than 7 per cent in a division shall be killed.

Of course, the committee cannot be bothered with such trifling matters.

 

 

CHAPTER THREE

Who Pays The Bills?

Who provides the profits -- these nice little profits of 20, 100, 300, 1,500 and 1,800 per cent? We all pay them -- in taxation. We paid the bankers their profits when we bought Liberty Bonds at $100.00 and sold them back at $84 or $86 to the bankers. These bankers collected $100 plus. It was a simple manipulation. The bankers control the security marts. It was easy for them to depress the price of these bonds. Then all of us -- the people -- got frightened and sold the bonds at $84 or $86. The bankers bought them. Then these same bankers stimulated a boom and government bonds went to par -- and above. Then the bankers collected their profits.

But the soldier pays the biggest part of the bill.

If you don't believe this, visit the American cemeteries on the battlefields abroad. Or visit any of the veteran's hospitals in the United States. On a tour of the country, in the midst of which I am at the time of this writing, I have visited eighteen government hospitals for veterans. In them are a total of about 50,000 destroyed men -- men who were the pick of the nation eighteen years ago. The very able chief surgeon at the government hospital; at Milwaukee, where there are 3,800 of the living dead, told me that mortality among veterans is three times as great as among those who stayed at home.

Boys with a normal viewpoint were taken out of the fields and offices and factories and classrooms and put into the ranks. There they were remolded; they were made over; they were made to "about face"; to regard murder as the order of the day. They were put shoulder to shoulder and, through mass psychology, they were entirely changed. We used them for a couple of years and trained them to think nothing at all of killing or of being killed.

Then, suddenly, we discharged them and told them to make another "about face" ! This time they had to do their own readjustment, sans [without] mass psychology, sans officers' aid and advice and sans nation-wide propaganda. We didn't need them any more. So we scattered them about without any "three-minute" or "Liberty Loan" speeches or parades. Many, too many, of these fine young boys are eventually destroyed, mentally, because they could not make that final "about face" alone.

In the government hospital in Marion, Indiana, 1,800 of these boys are in pens! Five hundred of them in a barracks with steel bars and wires all around outside the buildings and on the porches. These already have been mentally destroyed. These boys don't even look like human beings. Oh, the looks on their faces! Physically, they are in good shape; mentally, they are gone.

There are thousands and thousands of these cases, and more and more are coming in all the time. The tremendous excitement of the war, the sudden cutting off of that excitement -- the young boys couldn't stand it.

That's a part of the bill. So much for the dead -- they have paid their part of the war profits. So much for the mentally and physically wounded -- they are paying now their share of the war profits. But the others paid, too -- they paid with heartbreaks when they tore themselves away from their firesides and their families to don the uniform of Uncle Sam -- on which a profit had been made. They paid another part in the training camps where they were regimented and drilled while others took their jobs and their places in the lives of their communities. The paid for it in the trenches where they shot and were shot; where they were hungry for days at a time; where they slept in the mud and the cold and in the rain -- with the moans and shrieks of the dying for a horrible lullaby.

But don't forget -- the soldier paid part of the dollars and cents bill too.

Up to and including the Spanish-American War, we had a prize system, and soldiers and sailors fought for money. During the Civil War they were paid bonuses, in many instances, before they went into service. The government, or states, paid as high as $1,200 for an enlistment. In the Spanish-American War they gave prize money. When we captured any vessels, the soldiers all got their share -- at least, they were supposed to. Then it was found that we could reduce the cost of wars by taking all the prize money and keeping it, but conscripting [drafting] the soldier anyway. Then soldiers couldn't bargain for their labor, Everyone else could bargain, but the soldier couldn't.

Napoleon once said,

"All men are enamored of decorations . . . they positively hunger for them."

So by developing the Napoleonic system -- the medal business -- the government learned it could get soldiers for less money, because the boys liked to be decorated. Until the Civil War there were no medals. Then the Congressional Medal of Honor was handed out. It made enlistments easier. After the Civil War no new medals were issued until the Spanish-American War.

In the World War, we used propaganda to make the boys accept conscription. They were made to feel ashamed if they didn't join the army.

So vicious was this war propaganda that even God was brought into it. With few exceptions our clergymen joined in the clamor to kill, kill, kill. To kill the Germans. God is on our side . . . it is His will that the Germans be killed.

And in Germany, the good pastors called upon the Germans to kill the allies . . . to please the same God. That was a part of the general propaganda, built up to make people war conscious and murder conscious.

Beautiful ideals were painted for our boys who were sent out to die. This was the "war to end all wars." This was the "war to make the world safe for democracy." No one mentioned to them, as they marched away, that their going and their dying would mean huge war profits. No one told these American soldiers that they might be shot down by bullets made by their own brothers here. No one told them that the ships on which they were going to cross might be torpedoed by submarines built with United States patents. They were just told it was to be a "glorious adventure."

Thus, having stuffed patriotism down their throats, it was decided to make them help pay for the war, too. So, we gave them the large salary of $30 a month.

All they had to do for this munificent sum was to leave their dear ones behind, give up their jobs, lie in swampy trenches, eat canned willy (when they could get it) and kill and kill and kill . . . and be killed.

But wait!

Half of that wage (just a little more than a riveter in a shipyard or a laborer in a munitions factory safe at home made in a day) was promptly taken from him to support his dependents, so that they would not become a charge upon his community. Then we made him pay what amounted to accident insurance -- something the employer pays for in an enlightened state -- and that cost him $6 a month. He had less than $9 a month left.

Then, the most crowning insolence of all -- he was virtually blackjacked into paying for his own ammunition, clothing, and food by being made to buy Liberty Bonds. Most soldiers got no money at all on pay days.

We made them buy Liberty Bonds at $100 and then we bought them back -- when they came back from the war and couldn't find work -- at $84 and $86. And the soldiers bought about $2,000,000,000 worth of these bonds!

Yes, the soldier pays the greater part of the bill. His family pays too. They pay it in the same heart-break that he does. As he suffers, they suffer. At nights, as he lay in the trenches and watched shrapnel burst about him, they lay home in their beds and tossed sleeplessly -- his father, his mother, his wife, his sisters, his brothers, his sons, and his daughters.

When he returned home minus an eye, or minus a leg or with his mind broken, they suffered too -- as much as and even sometimes more than he. Yes, and they, too, contributed their dollars to the profits of the munitions makers and bankers and shipbuilders and the manufacturers and the speculators made. They, too, bought Liberty Bonds and contributed to the profit of the bankers after the Armistice in the hocus-pocus of manipulated Liberty Bond prices.

And even now the families of the wounded men and of the mentally broken and those who never were able to readjust themselves are still suffering and still paying.

 

 

CHAPTER FOUR

How To Smash This Racket!

WELL, it's a racket, all right.

A few profit -- and the many pay. But there is a way to stop it. You can't end it by disarmament conferences. You can't eliminate it by peace parleys at Geneva. Well-meaning but impractical groups can't wipe it out by resolutions. It can be smashed effectively only by taking the profit out of war.

The only way to smash this racket is to conscript capital and industry and labor before the nations manhood can be conscripted. One month before the Government can conscript the young men of the nation -- it must conscript capital and industry and labor. Let the officers and the directors and the high-powered executives of our armament factories and our munitions makers and our shipbuilders and our airplane builders and the manufacturers of all the other things that provide profit in war time as well as the bankers and the speculators, be conscripted -- to get $30 a month, the same wage as the lads in the trenches get.

Let the workers in these plants get the same wages -- all the workers, all presidents, all executives, all directors, all managers, all bankers -- yes, and all generals and all admirals and all officers and all politicians and all government office holders -- everyone in the nation be restricted to a total monthly income not to exceed that paid to the soldier in the trenches!

Let all these kings and tycoons and masters of business and all those workers in industry and all our senators and governors and majors pay half of their monthly $30 wage to their families and pay war risk insurance and buy Liberty Bonds.

Why shouldn't they?

They aren't running any risk of being killed or of having their bodies mangled or their minds shattered. They aren't sleeping in muddy trenches. They aren't hungry. The soldiers are!

Give capital and industry and labor thirty days to think it over and you will find, by that time, there will be no war. That will smash the war racket -- that and nothing else.

Maybe I am a little too optimistic. Capital still has some say. So capital won't permit the taking of the profit out of war until the people -- those who do the suffering and still pay the price -- make up their minds that those they elect to office shall do their bidding, and not that of the profiteers.

Another step necessary in this fight to smash the war racket is the limited plebiscite to determine whether a war should be declared. A plebiscite not of all the voters but merely of those who would be called upon to do the fighting and dying. There wouldn't be very much sense in having a 76-year-old president of a munitions factory or the flat-footed head of an international banking firm or the cross-eyed manager of a uniform manufacturing plant -- all of whom see visions of tremendous profits in the event of war -- voting on whether the nation should go to war or not. They never would be called upon to shoulder arms -- to sleep in a trench and to be shot. Only those who would be called upon to risk their lives for their country should have the privilege of voting to determine whether the nation should go to war.

There is ample precedent for restricting the voting to those affected. Many of our states have restrictions on those permitted to vote. In most, it is necessary to be able to read and write before you may vote. In some, you must own property. It would be a simple matter each year for the men coming of military age to register in their communities as they did in the draft during the World War and be examined physically. Those who could pass and who would therefore be called upon to bear arms in the event of war would be eligible to vote in a limited plebiscite. They should be the ones to have the power to decide -- and not a Congress few of whose members are within the age limit and fewer still of whom are in physical condition to bear arms. Only those who must suffer should have the right to vote.

A third step in this business of smashing the war racket is to make certain that our military forces are truly forces for defense only.

At each session of Congress the question of further naval appropriations comes up. The swivel-chair admirals of Washington (and there are always a lot of them) are very adroit lobbyists. And they are smart. They don't shout that "We need a lot of battleships to war on this nation or that nation." Oh no. First of all, they let it be known that America is menaced by a great naval power. Almost any day, these admirals will tell you, the great fleet of this supposed enemy will strike suddenly and annihilate 125,000,000 people. Just like that. Then they begin to cry for a larger navy. For what? To fight the enemy? Oh my, no. Oh, no. For defense purposes only.

Then, incidentally, they announce maneuvers in the Pacific. For defense. Uh, huh.

The Pacific is a great big ocean. We have a tremendous coastline on the Pacific. Will the maneuvers be off the coast, two or three hundred miles? Oh, no. The maneuvers will be two thousand, yes, perhaps even thirty-five hundred miles, off the coast.

The Japanese, a proud people, of course will be pleased beyond expression to see the united States fleet so close to Nippon's shores. Even as pleased as would be the residents of California were they to dimly discern through the morning mist, the Japanese fleet playing at war games off Los Angeles.

The ships of our navy, it can be seen, should be specifically limited, by law, to within 200 miles of our coastline. Had that been the law in 1898 the Maine would never have gone to Havana Harbor. She never would have been blown up. There would have been no war with Spain with its attendant loss of life. Two hundred miles is ample, in the opinion of experts, for defense purposes. Our nation cannot start an offensive war if its ships can't go further than 200 miles from the coastline. Planes might be permitted to go as far as 500 miles from the coast for purposes of reconnaissance. And the army should never leave the territorial limits of our nation.

To summarize: Three steps must be taken to smash the war racket.

 

  1. We must take the profit out of war.

  2. We must permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war.

  3. We must limit our military forces to home defense purposes.

 

 

CHAPTER FIVE

To Hell With War!

I am not a fool as to believe that war is a thing of the past. I know the people do not want war, but there is no use in saying we cannot be pushed into another war.

Looking back, Woodrow Wilson was re-elected president in 1916 on a platform that he had "kept us out of war" and on the implied promise that he would "keep us out of war." Yet, five months later he asked Congress to declare war on Germany.

In that five-month interval the people had not been asked whether they had changed their minds. The 4,000,000 young men who put on uniforms and marched or sailed away were not asked whether they wanted to go forth to suffer and die.

Then what caused our government to change its mind so suddenly?

Money.

An allied commission, it may be recalled, came over shortly before the war declaration and called on the President. The President summoned a group of advisers. The head of the commission spoke. Stripped of its diplomatic language, this is what he told the President and his group:

"There is no use kidding ourselves any longer. The cause of the allies is lost. We now owe you (American bankers, American munitions makers, American manufacturers, American speculators, American exporters) five or six billion dollars.

If we lose (and without the help of the United States we must lose) we, England, France and Italy, cannot pay back this money . . . and Germany won't.

So . . . "

Had secrecy been outlawed as far as war negotiations were concerned, and had the press been invited to be present at that conference, or had radio been available to broadcast the proceedings, America never would have entered the World War. But this conference, like all war discussions, was shrouded in utmost secrecy. When our boys were sent off to war they were told it was a "war to make the world safe for democracy" and a "war to end all wars."

Well, eighteen years after, the world has less of democracy than it had then. Besides, what business is it of ours whether Russia or Germany or England or France or Italy or Austria live under democracies or monarchies? Whether they are Fascists or Communists? Our problem is to preserve our own democracy.

And very little, if anything, has been accomplished to assure us that the World War was really the war to end all wars.

Yes, we have had disarmament conferences and limitations of arms conferences. They don't mean a thing. One has just failed; the results of another have been nullified. We send our professional soldiers and our sailors and our politicians and our diplomats to these conferences. And what happens?

The professional soldiers and sailors don't want to disarm. No admiral wants to be without a ship. No general wants to be without a command. Both mean men without jobs. They are not for disarmament. They cannot be for limitations of arms. And at all these conferences, lurking in the background but all-powerful, just the same, are the sinister agents of those who profit by war. They see to it that these conferences do not disarm or seriously limit armaments.

The chief aim of any power at any of these conferences has not been to achieve disarmament to prevent war but rather to get more armament for itself and less for any potential foe.

There is only one way to disarm with any semblance of practicability. That is for all nations to get together and scrap every ship, every gun, every rifle, every tank, every war plane. Even this, if it were possible, would not be enough.

The next war, according to experts, will be fought not with battleships, not by artillery, not with rifles and not with machine guns. It will be fought with deadly chemicals and gases.

Secretly each nation is studying and perfecting newer and ghastlier means of annihilating its foes wholesale. Yes, ships will continue to be built, for the shipbuilders must make their profits. And guns still will be manufactured and powder and rifles will be made, for the munitions makers must make their huge profits. And the soldiers, of course, must wear uniforms, for the manufacturer must make their war profits too.

But victory or defeat will be determined by the skill and ingenuity of our scientists.

If we put them to work making poison gas and more and more fiendish mechanical and explosive instruments of destruction, they will have no time for the constructive job of building greater prosperity for all peoples. By putting them to this useful job, we can all make more money out of peace than we can out of war -- even the munitions makers.

So...I say,

TO HELL WITH WAR!

A competitor to the Suez Canal is being planned to cut across Israel and connect the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea.

This canal would give the U.S. and Israel control over a key chokepoint in the world for military ships, grain exports, energy and other commodities.

The planned route of the canal goes right through northern Gaza, and many analysts believe that Gaza is being destroyed and wiped out right now to make way for the construction of this canal, which would bring in billions of dollars a year for Israel (and grant Israel control over its access).

Fierce fighting in Gaza as US says Palestinians must govern Gaza post-war

Story by Nidal al-Mughrabi and Maytaal Angel  

Fierce fighting in Gaza as US says Palestinians must govern Gaza post-war (msn.com)

Israeli forces battled Hamas militants through shell-blasted buildings in Gaza City on Thursday as some 80 countries and organisations met in Paris to coordinate humanitarian aid and find ways to help wounded civilians escape the siege.

Residents in Gaza City said Israeli were fighting Hamas and other militants and that tanks were stationed around the city. They said Israeli forces were moving closer to two hospitals where thousands of displaced Palestinians were seeking shelter.

The Israeli military said its troops had advanced into the heart of Gaza City, Hamas' main bastion and the biggest city in the Palestinian coastal enclave, while the Islamist group said its fighters had inflicted heavy losses.

Hamas' armed wing on Wednesday released a video that appeared to show intense street battles alongside bombed out buildings in Gaza City.

Israeli tanks have met heavy resistance from Hamas fighters using underground tunnels to stage ambushes, according to sources with Iran-backed Hamas and the separate Islamic Jihad militant group.

As the Israel-Hamas war enters its second month, the United States said when the war does end Palestinians must govern Gaza.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Wednesday outlined Washington's red lines and expectations for the besieged coastal territory, pushing back at Israeli comments that it would be responsible for security in Gaza indefinitely.

There should be "no reoccupation of Gaza after the conflict ends. No attempt to blockade or besiege Gaza. No reduction in the territory of Gaza," Blinken said at a press conference in Tokyo.

While Blinken said there may be a need for "some transition period" at the end of the conflict, but that post-crisis governance in Gaza must include Palestinian voices.

"It must include Palestinian-led governance and Gaza unified with the West Bank under the Palestinian Authority."

The Palestinian Authority (PA), which exercises limited self-rule in parts of the Israeli-occupied West Bank, says the Gaza Strip, where Hamas has ruled since 2007, is an integral part of what it envisions for a future Palestinian state.

Israeli officials have clarified they do not intend to occupy Gaza after the war, but they have yet to articulate how they might ensure security without maintaining a military presence. Israel withdrew its forces from Gaza in 2005.

Israel launched its military assault on Gaza in response to a cross-border Hamas raid on southern Israel on Oct. 7 in which gunmen killed 1,400 people, mostly civilians, and took about 240 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.

Palestinian officials said 10,569 people had been killed as of Wednesday, 40% of them children. Israel says 33 of its soldiers have been killed.

SEA LANES FOR AID AND WOUNDED

A conference in Paris on Thursday, attended by Arab nations, Western powers, G20 members and NGO groups such as Doctors Without Borders will discuss measures to alleviate the suffering in Gaza, but without a pause in fighting expectations are low.

"The object is really to work with all the participants and also with Israel ... to allow improved access," a French presidential official told reporters ahead of the conference 

Among the options discussed will be setting up a maritime corridor to use sea lanes to ship humanitarian aid into Gaza and see how ships could be used to help evacuate the wounded.

Thousands of Palestinian civilians trudged in a forlorn procession out of the north of Gaza on Wednesday seeking refuge from Israeli air strikes and fierce ground fighting between Israeli troops and Hamas militants.

The exodus took place during a four-hour window announced by Israel, which has told residents to evacuate encircled northern parts of Gaza or risk being trapped in the violence. But the central and southern parts of the enclave also came under fire again.

Huge numbers of displaced people from among Gaza's 2.3 million population are already crammed into schools, hospitals and other sites in the south.

Thousands of others remain in the north, including at Gaza City's main Al Shifa hospital.

Israel has blamed Hamas for civilian deaths in Gaza, saying that it is using them as human shields and hiding arms and operations centres in residential areas.

"As deaths and injuries in Gaza continue to rise due to intensified hostilities, intense overcrowding and disrupted health, water, and sanitation systems pose an added danger: the rapid spread of infectious diseases," the World Health Organization warned on Wednesday.

WHO said that more than 33,551 cases of diarrhoea had been reported since mid-October, the bulk of which was among children aged under five.

Not in a hurry anyway..
You feel the endlessness ... becoming on  the light of day..
You talk about a chosen place...
You want know something about this place .. well... 
Just a minute now..

Right down the line..
 
Well about the dawn of time
The dreaming all began...
Well ... people came...
Well they were looking for their promised land...
They were out of the heart of darkness....
Since you put on the harbour light..
 
It was their paradise...
They were standing on..
 
Standing on... solid rock....
standing on sacred ground....
Living on borrowed time...

A meeting of the UN Security Council
 
 Israel Gaza Conflict Update 5

THE HEAD OF the UN agency for Palestinian refugees told an emergency United Nations Security Council meeting that “an immediate humanitarian ceasefire has become a matter of life and death for millions”, accusing Israel of “collective punishment” of Palestinians.

Philippe Lazzarini warned that a further breakdown of civil order following the looting of the agency’s warehouses by Palestinians searching for food and other aid “will make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the largest UN agency in Gaza to continue operating”.

Briefings to the Security Council by Lazzarini, the head of the UN children’s agency Unicef, and a senior UN humanitarian official painted a dire picture of the humanitarian situation in Gaza 23 days after Hamas’s 7 October attacks in Israel and its ongoing retaliatory military action aimed at “obliterating” the militant group, which controls Gaza.

According to the latest figures from Gaza’s Ministry of Health, more than 8,300 people have been killed – 66% of them women and children – and tens of thousands injured, the UN humanitarian office said.

Unicef executive director Catherine Russell said that toll includes over 3,400 children killed and more than 6,300 injured.

“This means that more than 420 children are being killed or injured in Gaza each day – a number which should shake each of us to our core,” she said.

Lazzarini said: “This surpasses the number of children killed annually across the world’s conflict zones since 2019. This cannot be collateral damage.”

Many speakers at the council meeting denounced Hamas’s attacks on Israel that killed over 1,400 people and urged the release of some 230 hostages taken to Gaza by the militants.

Nearly every speaker also stressed that Israel is obligated under international humanitarian law to protect civilians and their essentials for life including hospitals, schools and other infrastructure.

Israel was criticised for cutting off food, water, fuel and medicine to Gaza and cutting communications for several days.

Lazzarini said “the handful of convoys” allowed into Gaza through the Rafah crossing from Egypt in recent days “is nothing compared to the needs of over 2 million people trapped in Gaza”.

“The system in place to allow aid into Gaza is geared to fail,” he said, “unless there is political will to make the flow of supplies meaningful, matching the unprecedented humanitarian needs”.

US ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield urged the divided Security Council – which has rejected four resolutions that would have responded to the Hamas attacks and the ongoing war – to come together, saying “the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is growing more dire by the day”.

Stressing that all innocent civilians must be protected, she said the council must call “for the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages, address the immense humanitarian needs of Palestinian civilians in Gaza, affirm Israel’s right to defend itself from terrorism, and remind all actors that international humanitarian law must be respected”.

She reiterated US President Joe Biden’s calls for humanitarian pauses to get hostages out and allow aid in, and for safe passage for civilians.

Israel’s UN ambassador Gilad Erdan was sharply critical of the council’s failure to condemn Hamas’s attacks and asked members: “Why are the humanitarian needs of Gazans, the sole issue, the sole issue you are focused on?”

 

Recalling his grandfather who survived Nazi death camps but whose wife and seven children perished in the Auschwitz gas chamber, Erdan told the council he will wear a yellow star – as Hitler made his grandfather and other Jewish people wear during the Second World War – “until you condemn the atrocities of Hamas and demand the immediate release of our hostages”.

The ambassador then put a large six-pointed yellow star of David saying Never Again on his suit jacket, as did other Israeli diplomats sitting behind him, and said: “We walk with the yellow star as a symbol of pride, a reminder that we swore to fight back to defend ourselves. Never again is now.”

Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian UN ambassador, also urged the Security Council to end its paralysis, and demand “an end to this bloodshed, which constitutes an affront to humanity, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, and a clear and imminent danger for regional and international peace and security”.

He said: “Save those who still can be saved and bury in a dignified manner those who have perished.”

Millions protest worldwide as Israel unleashes deadliest bombing campaign against Gaza since October 7

The Gaza Strip, which some have called “the world's largest open-air prison,” is a narrow piece of land between Israel and Egypt. More than 2 million Palestinians live in the 140-square-mile enclave, making it one of the most densely populated places on earth. In 1947, the newly formed U.N.17 Oct 2023

John Lennon, antiwar crusader: With final song, why he (and the Beatles) still matter

The last Beatles song 'Now and Then' is being released Thursday, November 1

FOX, CNN showed ‘bravest’ war coverage despite other media mistakes: Liz Claman

‘Reason’ senior editor Robby Soave and FOX Business anchor Liz Claman discuss what the media have done right and wrong during this war period on ‘MediaBuzz.’

There was one member of the Beatles who never shied away from political protest: John Lennon.

He was passionately against the Vietnam War, but also wary of protestors using violence, as he declared in the song "Revolution":

"You say you want a revolution, well you know, we all want to change the world… But when you talk about destruction, don’t you know that you can count me out, in?"

He held weeklong bed-ins for peace with Yoko, in Amsterdam and Montreal. In his signature song "Imagine," he challenged the world to move past war:

"Imagine there's no countries, it isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for, and no religion too. Imagine all the people, livin’ life in peace." And of course, he wrote "Give Peace a Chance."

THE SCOURGE OF ANTISEMITISM IS NOW GLOBAL AND INESCAPABLE

Paul McCartney had political views, but he rarely interjected them into songs, and very subtle – "Blackbird," for instance, was an allegory about America’s civil rights struggles.

I bring this up, as you probably know, because the last Beatles song is being released today, based on Lennon’s lyrics and piano.

And with a boost from artificial intelligence.

"Now and Then" was recorded by Lennon on a cassette a few years before his life was tragically cut short in 1980. The tape was labeled "For Paul." Yoko Ono sent it to McCartney in 1994. The three surviving Beatles were able to record and release two songs based on the cassette, "Real Love" (which I thought was terrific) and "Free As a Bird."  
 

John Lennon and Yoko Ono

John Lennon (1940-1980) formed the Beatles in 1960 with Paul McCartney (1942-), George Harrison (1943-2001) and Ringo Starr (1940-). Before being signed to Parlophone in 1962 The Beatles were found playing in the Cavern Club in Liverpool and venues in Hamburg, Germany. They went on to become the most successful pop group of all time and finally split in 1970. In 1965 Lennon, along with the other Beatles, was awarded the MBE, although he later returned his as a protest about British involvement in the Vietnam War. Lennon married the Japanese avant-garde artist Yoko Ono in March 1969. The Beatles finally split in 1970. Lennon was murdered in New York on 8 December 1980 by Mark Chapman. (SSPL/Getty Images)

They tried on the third song, but the quality was just too low. George Harrison called it "f*** rubbish." And it was scrapped until recently, when technology used by producer Peter Jackson made it possible to isolate the vocals.

"There it was, John’s voice, crystal clear," McCartney said. "It’s quite emotional. And we all play on it, it’s a genuine Beatles recording. In 2023, to still be working on Beatles music, and about to release a new song the public haven’t heard, I think it’s an exciting thing." That’s an understatement.

Ringo Starr said: "It was the closest we’ll ever come to having him back in the room so it was very emotional for all of us. It was like John was there, you know. It’s far out." And groovy.

NIKKI HALEY HAILED FOR IOWA SURGE, BUT TRUMP STILL DOMINANT

I heard a bit of it yesterday in a short documentary on YouTube, and liked what I heard.  First there was John’s vocal, which was strong, resonant and so achingly familiar. Then Paul and Ringo added bass and drums, and a souped-up version of George’s guitar solo.

The opening lyrics: 

"I know it’s true

"It’s all because of you

"And if I make it through

"It’s all because of you."

John Lennon with Paul McCartney

LONDON - 30th DECEMBER: Paul McCartney and John Lennon (1940-1980) from The Beatles posed backstage at the Finsbury Park Astoria, London during the band's Christmas Show residency on 30th December 1963.  (Photo by Val Wilmer/Redferns) (Val Wilmer/Redferns)

 

"Now and Then" is a ballad, not one of John’s all-out rockers, and it does sound like the Beatles. It won’t rank up there with the group’s greatest hits, but it’s a gift. With McCartney at 81, and Starr at 83, touring right now, we should be grateful. (So much for "when I’m 64.")

Consider the backdrop: John, Paul, George and Ringo were working-class Liverpool kids who played in sometimes sleazy clubs, and were turned down by every major record label, until Parlophone’s George Martin decided to take a chance on them.

Then they became the greatest band in rock history, and Lennon-McCartney became one of the greatest songwriting teams in history, their work covered by hundreds of top musicians. They were a cultural phenomenon, surrounded by what was dubbed Beatlemania. And as they experimented and matured with such albums as Sgt. Pepper’s and Abbey Road, they changed the face of music forever.

More than 60 years later, they still have an enthusiastic following, including some grandchildren of the original fans, and have their own channel on Sirius XM.

Lennon was the early leader (Paul and George joined his band, the Quarrymen) and sang lead on most of the early Beatles songs.

But he also had long fallow periods, especially in the late sixties when he developed a serious addiction to heroin and other drugs. 

Lennon’s anti-war crusading had consequences as the Nixon administration went after him. After he met with radical activists in New York, friends such as Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, in 1971, the FBI put the ex-Beatle under surveillance. A year later, immigration authorities tried to deport him, using an old marijuana conviction as the pretext. 

The bureau’s files, obtained by NPR, said "Lennon should be arrested, if at all possible, on possession of narcotics charges, which would make him more immediately deportable."

In a letter from J. Edgar Hoover to Richard Nixon’s chief of staff, H.R. Haldeman, the FBI chief began: "John Winston Lennon is a member of The Beatles singing group." As if, what, nobody knew that? And there was a Keystone Kops aspect at times: the bureau sent out a purported photo of Lennon, one of the world’s most recognizable figures, that was actually an East Village folksinger.

After a four-year legal battle, Lennon won a green card once Jerry Ford was president.

Things are escalating much faster than we anticipated. The U.S. has just bombed multiple targets in Syria, clearly in an effort to provoke Iran into a missile response.

Meanwhile, U.S. naval forces are converging in the Middle East, obviously in preparation for a major war that risks ballooning into a world war.

Today I bring you a detailed analysis of these latest events, plus an interview with a former Soviet Union naval engineer who is now an author and geopolitical analyst. His analysis of the situation in both Ukraine and the Middle East is spot-on.

I hate conspiracy theories and fake news. They degrade my profession as a journalist and incite fear, hate and tribulation with the deliberate intention of causing a public backlash. Naturally, there have been all sorts of speculation and rumour around the war in Gaza and the 7 October surprise Hamas attack on the occupation state.

It has been said that the attack was two years in the planning in Gaza, a tiny patch of land riddled with Zionist infiltrators and spies who cajole, bribe and threaten ordinary Palestinians to betray their comrades.

So the question many are asking, with some justification, is why there was such a catastrophic intelligence failure which meant that the attack caught the Israeli military sleeping on the job. In terms of access to eavesdropping technology and defence there is probably no better-equipped military in the world other than in the US, and the Americans maintain secret supply bases in the Zionist state. Israel’s Mossad has earned itself a reputation of being among the finest intelligence gatherers and infiltrators in the world. And yet 7 October saw Hamas fighters breach security fences, invade a music festival and local kibbutzim, and fly in on paragliders without a single challenge. How did this happen?

Some of Israel’s most brutal attacks on innocent Palestinians are made citing “national security” and Israel’s alleged right to defend itself. If it was being attacked by another nation state, fair enough. But an attack by people living under Israel’s brutal military occupation provides no such legal defence. It doesn’t exist.

READ: 41 children killed in West Bank since 7 October, charity says

A good contact and friend of mine who watches the region’s events closely told me simply: “Follow the money.” And that is how, after being nudged and pointed in a variety of directions with annoyingly vague clues, I found myself pouring over a network of paper trails that led to the National Archives, where British secrets lie unseen for at least 30 years and in some cases much, much longer.

By the time they surface, it’s usually far too late to do anything as the guilty have taken their secrets to the grave, but some disclosures do explain the terrible behaviour of governments and rogue politicians. Many of my colleagues are waiting with bated breath for the March 2030 deadline to pass to find out how the Iraq war came about, and if our suspicions about former British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s role are as bad as we believe.

The Ben Gurion Canal Project

The Ben Gurion Canal Project

 

This particular paper chase, though, took me to the origins of the Suez Canal, which opened with a grand ceremony on 17 November 1869, 154 years ago this month. Today, 10 per cent of the world’s cargo ships sail through this strategic route between the Eastern Mediterranean and the Red Sea, heading to and from the Indian Ocean and connecting Europe and Asia.

Egypt owns, controls and operates the canal now, but it was once owned by French investors who held half of the canal company’s stock with Egypt’s ruler Sa’id Pasha holding most of the balance. In 1875, a cash crisis forced Sa’id’s successor, Isma’il Pasha, to sell the country’s shares to Britain. The Suez Company operated the canal until Egypt’s President Gamal Abdel Nasser tore up the concession in 1956 and transferred the canal’s operation to the state-owned Suez Canal Authority. There then followed the Suez Crisis, also known as the second Arab-Israeli war.

On the same day that the canal was nationalised Nasser also closed the Straits of Tiran to all Israeli ships. The crisis saw the UK, France, and Israel invade Egypt. According to pre-agreed plans prepared by Britain and France, Israel invaded Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula on 29 October 1956, forcing the Egyptians to engage its troops. This gave the excuse for the Anglo-French alliance to declare the fighting to be a threat to stability in the Middle East and enter the war, officially to separate the two forces but, in reality, to regain control of the Suez Canal and bring down the Nasser government.

What does it have to do with 7 October 2023? Well, it just so happens that Gaza is slap bang in the middle of the proposed path of a major second canal in the region.

READ: Only 27% of Israelis believe Netanyahu is suitable to head government

Gaza is currently being bombed to oblivion by the deranged Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu who wants to deliver The Ben Gurion Canal Project. Yes, Tel Aviv already has a name for the canal which was first proposed back in the Sixties. It would connect the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and would even be named after the first prime minister of Israel.

The canal would rival Egypt’s Suez Canal, causing a major financial threat to the country and this major trade artery. Remember the global trade disaster caused the huge container ship Ever Given got stuck in the famous canal in 2021? The Straits of Tiran and Suez Canal remained formally closed to Israeli vessels from the creation of Israel in 1948 and the Nakba until the Suez Crisis in 1956. When all land trade routes were blocked by Arab states, Israel’s ability to trade with East Africa and Asia, mainly to import oil from the Persian Gulf, was severely hampered. There have been other obstructions involving Israel forcing its closure in 1956-7 and 1967-75.

If it goes ahead, this new canal will be almost one-third longer than the 193.3 km Suez Canal, at around 292.9 km and an estimated cost of between $16 and $55 billion. Whoever controls the canal will have enormous influence over the global supply routes for oil, grain and shipping. With Gaza razed to the ground, it would enable the canal planners to literally cut corners and reduce costs by diverting the canal straight through the middle of the territory.

Around 12 per cent of the world’s trade passes through Suez on 18,000 ships a year, so you can imagine that a lot of countries will be lining up for a share of the deal. The Suez Canal is worth a staggering $9.4 billion to Egypt, which has enjoyed record-breaking revenues this year.

The only thing stopping the newly-revised project from being revived and rubber-stamped is the presence of the Palestinians in Gaza. As far as Netanyahu is concerned they are standing in the way of the project; a project which may earn him forgiveness in Tel Aviv for the intelligence and military shortcomings on 7 October. However, his treacherous sleight of hand will never by forgiven or forgotten by the people of Palestine given the horrors which have descended upon Gaza in the past few weeks.

READ: No evidence of Hamas seizing aid entering Gaza: US envoy

If this is all being done in the name of potential business deals then it compounds the political and diplomatic disgrace of the shameless Western governments who are complicit in the Palestinian genocide.

The biggest shame, though, belongs to Egypt. Already on the verge of bankruptcy due to President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi’s profligacy, the emergence of a new canal would have a devastating impact on the Egyptian economy and its people. Heartless dictator Al-Sisi may come to regret putting his trust in Tel Aviv and Western governments above the interests and welfare of two million Palestinians in Gaza.

None of the Middle East leaders, Netanyahu, Biden and Sunak et al in the West emerge from the carnage in Gaza with any degree of integrity intact. Together, they are guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity, or at the very least are complicit in such awful crimes leading to genocide.

This didn’t all begin on 7 October; the bombing of Gaza is simply the latest stage of Israel’s slow genocide of the people of Palestine, which has now got up to speed again with the full backing of the Western sponsors of the apartheid state. If they think that killing innocent children and women will bring peace, they are deluded.

Unbridled neoliberal capitalism has destroyed many countries and killed millions of people, and peace and security have rarely been the result. I hope that the evil people responsible will burn in Hell for what they have done to the children of Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria and numerous other countries around the world. The survivors need freedom and justice now.

Israel will be judged at later date on compliance with global rules – minister

Civil order' breaking down in Gaza, US official says: Live updates

A Cabinet minister said it will be judged at a “later date” whether Israel has complied with international law in its fightback against Hamas.

Science, Innovation and Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan said it was not for her to say whether global rules were being broken in Gaza, with 8,000 Palestinians reported to have died during Israeli strikes.

She said the UK continues to “call for a pause” in the violence to allow aid into the region and permit people to leave.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s administration has stopped short of demanding an outright ceasefire.

"It is very difficult to get to Hamas without hurting innocent civilians"

Michelle Donelan, Cabinet minister

Layla Moran, a Liberal Democrat MP who has family trapped in Gaza, accused the UK and its allies of “failing” in their diplomatic approach to the conflict.

Israeli ground forces, including tank columns, pushed into Gaza over the weekend as Tel Aviv’s military continued to pound the Hamas-ruled territory from air, land and sea.

Bombardments knocked out communications in the 25-mile strip late on Friday – a blackout that followed an Israeli blockade on water, food, fuel and other essentials reaching 2.3 million Palestinians who are effectively trapped.

Communications were restored to many people in Gaza early on Sunday, according to local reports.

Ms Donelan, asked on Sky News’s Sunday Morning With Trevor Phillips programme whether the UK Government was confident Tel Aviv had obeyed international law, said: “I’m not an international lawyer and it is not in my jurisdiction to make that decision.

“Those judgments will be made in due course, based on all of the evidence.

“It is a fast-paced environment, things are happening that we aren’t even aware of on the ground.

“Those judgments and views will be made at a later date by the relevant and appropriate bodies.”

The senior Conservative said the UK has not set Israel any so-called “red lines” in the conflict as she argued rules governing war situations were “well established”.

Hamas’s deadly raids on Israel on October 7 killed 1,400 people, mainly civilians, and Palestinian militants took more than 200 people hostage.

In retaliation over the past three weeks, Tel Aviv has besieged the Occupied Palestinian Territory and pummelled it with bombs as Israel’s leadership vowed to eradicate Hamas.

Around 8,000 Palestinians have died since the war began, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry, with most said to be women and children.

Ms Donelan said the preservation of civilian life is a “priority” for the UK but Hamas is using the Palestinian people as “human shields” and putting them in harm’s way by building tunnels underneath houses.

“It is very difficult to get to Hamas without hurting innocent civilians,” she told Sky.

But after telling the BBC the Government is still arguing for a pause in the fighting, Ms Donelan faced criticism from Ms Moran, the Lib Dem foreign affairs spokeswoman who has extended family in Gaza.

Ms Moran said it is “deeply offensive” for the minister to suggest it is Hamas preventing people such as her Palestinian Christian family, who are currently sheltering in a church, from leaving northern Gaza when there is “nowhere” safe in the territory due to Israeli shelling.

Speaking to Victoria Derbyshire on the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme, she said: “When I hear from the Government that they want to minimise civilians casualties, I have to say to them that they are failing – the strategy of the UK Government, America, and what they are effectively sanctioning in the way that Israel is responding.

“Israel has every right to respond and I agree that if it was us, we would respond too, but how they respond is so important because at the end of this, we want to get to a point where we don’t see this kind of carnage ever again.

“We need to get to that two-state solution, that is what we need to aim for.”

Ms Moran is calling for a humanitarian ceasefire which gives “political space” to “take the temperature down” following “escalatory language from the Israeli government” and allows for peace talks to begin.

Further pro-Palestinian demonstrations demanding a ceasefire are expected to take place in the UK on Sunday, with a march planned in Bristol.

It follows protests on Saturday in London, Glasgow, Manchester and Belfast.

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said about 100 people had been arrested at demonstrations held since the Hamas attack on Israel three weeks ago, with “many more” arrests expected in the near future.

Nine people were arrested in central London during a mainly peaceful pro-Palestine demonstration on Saturday, with at least 100,000 thought to have attended.

Seven of the arrests were alleged public order offences, a number of which are being treated as hate crimes, while two were for suspected assaults on officers.

Five people have since been charged, the Met said on Sunday. One incident related to a placard being displayed which was threatening and racist in nature near Piccadilly Circus, police said.

The Met also posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday that two women had been arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred following an incident in Trafalgar Square on Saturday.

It follows alleged chanting that referenced the Battle of Khaybar – a massacre of Jews in 628 by Islamic forces.

Officers also followed up on reports that a pamphlet was being sold along the route of the march that praised Hamas, the force confirmed on social media.

Hamas is a proscribed terror organisation in the UK, with expressions of support for it banned.

Sir Mark told Sky his officers are limited by legal definitions of extremism and arresting people without cause could risk “inflaming” the situation with the protesters.

He said he would support a review into the legal definition of extremism and how it should be policed.

Levelling Up Secretary Michael Gove is understood to have ordered officials to draw up a new official definition of extremism in a move designed to counter hate, including antisemitism.

His Cabinet colleague Ms Donelan argued that current laws for dealing with extremism are “robust enough” but said the definition is kept under “constant review”.

Russian news reports said protesters shouted antisemitic slogans and tried to storm the plane belonging to Russian carrier Red Wings, prompting police in Makhachkala to close the airport.

Video on social media showed protesters attempting to overturn a police car, some on the landing field waving Palestinian flags and others checking the passports of passengers who had arrived in Makhachkala from Tel Aviv.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that Israel "expects the Russian law enforcement authorities to protect the safety of all Israeli citizens and Jews wherever they may be and to act resolutely against the rioters and against the wild incitement directed against Jews and Israelis."

Israel-Hamas War Developments

∎ The Israeli military said it struck targets in Lebanon and Syria on Sunday after rockets were fired into Israel, in a continuation of hostilities that began shortly after the war started. Israel said it shot down a drone and killed a militant in Lebanon.

Internet and cellphone service have been partially restored to the Gaza area, the U.N.'s relief agency for Palestinians reported Sunday. Connectivity dropped dramatically Friday and the blackout halted humanitarian convoys into the area. "Tensions and fear are made worse by the cuts in the phones and internet communication lines," White said. "They feel that they are on their own, cut off from their families inside Gaza and the rest of the world."

∎ In addition to dropping leaflets written in Arabic to urge Palestinians to move to the southern part of Gaza, the Israeli military has been using them to encourage residents to put down their weapons and surrender. "Hamas leaders are exploiting you," the flyers read. "They and their families are in safe places, while you die in vain."

∎ Humanitarian aid is intermittently arriving and isn't meeting the needs, White said. So far, 80 aid trucks have entered Gaza from the south via Egypt but are being slowed by exhaustive inspections, including a ban on bringing in fuel, he said. "The needs of the communities are immense, if only for basic survival, while the aid we receive is meager and inconsistent," he said.

Michigan doctor says he's lost family members in Gaza

Emad Shehada has felt helpless and hopeless since war broke out between Israel and Hamas on Oct. 7. It's a hopelessness that keeps "creeping into my soul every day," he told the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network.

The 47-year-old pulmonologist hasn't taken a break from work at his private practice — in part because he says he has an obligation to his patients, but also because the second he comes home: "everything comes back."

When Shehad is not working, he's at home anxiously watching the Arabic news channel Al Jazeera. Sometimes he turns off the TV, frustrated with what he'd witnessed, only to turn it back on 10 minutes later.

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have killed thousands of people and Shehad has lost 20 family members, including cousins and their children. He fears one day, his sister, Asmaa Shehada — who is sheltering in her Gaza home with her husband, two young daughters, and about 50 other loved ones — will also be killed.

"There’s nowhere to go. Families are hiding together, and they are going to be targeted together," said Shehada of West Bloomfield, Michigan.

Six times more children killed in Gaza than in Ukraine war

A little more than 500 children have been killed in the 18-month-long war in Ukraine, according to Ukrainian authorities who acknowledge the total is imprecise, but whose numbers are in line with the U.N.'s tally.

In the three weeks since the Israel-Hamas war began this month, nearly 3,200 children have been killed in Gaza alone, in addition to 33 in the occupied West Bank and 29 in Israel.

Those figures come from the health ministries in Gaza and Israel, according to the international charity Save the Children. And while the Gaza agency is under Hamas rule and its numbers were questioned by Biden last week, The Associated Press reported they've held up to independent scrutiny in previous wars.

The 3,195 reported deaths among minors in Gaza, where more than 40% of the population is under 18, are more than the number of children killed in armed conflicts anywhere in the world for a whole year over the last three years, Save the Children said Sunday.

“The numbers are harrowing and with violence not only continuing but expanding in Gaza right now, many more children remain at grave risk,” said Jason Lee, the organization's Country Director in the occupied Palestinian territory. “One child’s death is one too many, but these are grave violations of epic proportions. A cease-fire is the only way to ensure their safety.”

Israel hits hospital with 14,000 sheltering, Red Crescent says

The Al-Quds hospital in Gaza City, which is treating 400 patients and providing refuge to about 14,000 displaced Palestinians during the persistent bombardment, was damaged Sunday by Israeli airstrikes, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said.

A video posted by the organization on X, formerly Twitter, shows people struggling to breathe amid dust in a room with blown-out windows and debris on the floor.

"The Israeli occupation forces deliberately continue to launch rockets directly near Al-Quds hospital in #Gaza to force medical staff, displaced individuals, and patients to evacuate the hospital,'' the PRCS post says. "This has caused significant damage to hospital departments and exposed residents and patients to suffocation.''

In Muslim territories, the Red Cross is known as the Red Crescent. The society said it was warned by Israeli forces to evacuate in advance of a bombardment, but said that's impossible: "We don't have the means to evacuate," spokeswoman Nibal Farsak said on X, citing the challenge of moving people from the ICU. "Evacuating them means killing them."

Israel says more IDF soldiers were killed inside Gaza as ground operation against Hamas continues

The Israeli military reported additional casualties inside the Gaza Strip as the Israel-Hamas war enters its 26th day. Israeli forces entered the second stage of their war with Hamas in what is expected to be a lengthy military operation. Until this week, Israel had largely relied on airstrikes and artillery to retaliate against Hamas' massacre in Israel on Oct. 7. More than 9,900 people have been killed in the war on both sides since the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack.

 

TREVOR HUGHES ,  JORGE L. ORTIZ   USA TODAY
 
 
Israeli forces prepare for a ground war against Hamas in Gaza. Here's what to know
 

A plane from Israel was greeted Sunday by an angry crowd of hundreds who stormed onto the landing field of the main airport in the predominantly Muslim region of Dagestan in Russia, protesting the airliner’s arrival.

Russian news reports said protesters shouted antisemitic slogans and tried to storm the plane belonging to Russian carrier Red Wings, prompting police in Makhachkala to close the airport.

Video on social media showed protesters attempting to overturn a police car, some on the landing field waving Palestinian flags and others checking the passports of passengers who had arrived in Makhachkala from Tel Aviv.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that Israel "expects the Russian law enforcement authorities to protect the safety of all Israeli citizens and Jews wherever they may be and to act resolutely against the rioters and against the wild incitement directed against Jews and Israelis."

 

No injuries were immediately reported.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, whose country has been fighting a Russian invasion since February 2022, tweeted that antisemitic sentiment is common in Russia and emanates from its leaders.

"This is not an isolated incident in Makhachkala," Zelenskyy said, "but rather part of Russia’s widespread culture of hatred toward other nations, which is propagated by state television, pundits, and authorities."

∎ The Israeli military said it struck targets in Lebanon and Syria on Sunday after rockets were fired into Israel, in a continuation of hostilities that began shortly after the war started. Israel said it shot down a drone and killed a militant in Lebanon.

Connectivity dropped dramatically Friday and the blackout halted humanitarian convoys into the area.

∎ Humanitarian aid is intermittently arriving and isn't meeting the needs, White said.

Michigan doctor says he's lost family members in Gaza

Emad Shehada has felt helpless and hopeless since war broke out between Israel and Hamas on Oct. 7. It's a hopelessness that keeps "creeping into my soul every day," he told the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network.

The 47-year-old pulmonologist hasn't taken a break from work at his private practice — in part because he says he has an obligation to his patients, but also because the second he comes home: "everything comes back."

When Shehad is not working, he's at home anxiously watching the Arabic news channel Al Jazeera. Sometimes he turns off the TV, frustrated with what he'd witnessed, only to turn it back on 10 minutes later.

Israeli airstrikes in Gaza have killed thousands of people and Shehad has lost 20 family members, including cousins and their children. He fears one day, his sister, Asmaa Shehada — who is sheltering in her Gaza home with her husband, two young daughters, and about 50 other loved ones — will also be killed.

"There’s nowhere to go. Families are hiding together, and they are going to be targeted together," said Shehada of West Bloomfield, Michigan.

Six times more children killed in Gaza than in Ukraine war

A little more than 500 children have been killed in the 18-month-long war in Ukraine, according to Ukrainian authorities who acknowledge the total is imprecise, but whose numbers are in line with the U.N.'s tally.

In the three weeks since the Israel-Hamas war began this month, nearly 3,200 children have been killed in Gaza alone, in addition to 33 in the occupied West Bank and 29 in Israel.

Those figures come from the health ministries in Gaza and Israel, according to the international charity Save the Children. And while the Gaza agency is under Hamas rule and its numbers were questioned by Biden last week, The Associated Press reported they've held up to independent scrutiny in previous wars.

The 3,195 reported deaths among minors in Gaza, where more than 40% of the population is under 18, are more than the number of children killed in armed conflicts anywhere in the world for a whole year over the last three years, Save the Children said Sunday.

“The numbers are harrowing and with violence not only continuing but expanding in Gaza right now, many more children remain at grave risk,” said Jason Lee, the organization's Country Director in the occupied Palestinian territory. “One child’s death is one too many, but these are grave violations of epic proportions. A cease-fire is the only way to ensure their safety.”

 

Israel hits hospital with 14,000 sheltering, Red Crescent says

The Al-Quds hospital in Gaza City, which is treating 400 patients and providing refuge to about 14,000 displaced Palestinians during the persistent bombardment, was damaged Sunday by Israeli airstrikes, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society said.

A video posted by the organization on X, formerly Twitter, shows people struggling to breathe amid dust in a room with blown-out windows and debris on the floor.

"The Israeli occupation forces deliberately continue to launch rockets directly near Al-Quds hospital in #Gaza to force medical staff, displaced individuals, and patients to evacuate the hospital,'' the PRCS post says. "This has caused significant damage to hospital departments and exposed residents and patients to suffocation.''

In Muslim territories, the Red Cross is known as the Red Crescent. The society said it was warned by Israeli forces to evacuate in advance of a bombardment, but said that's impossible: "We don't have the means to evacuate," spokeswoman Nibal Farsak said on X, citing the challenge of moving people from the ICU. "Evacuating them means killing them."

 

Another video posted previously showed dozens of women and children resting on blankets and cushions inside the hospital's lobby.

Jagan Chapagain, the secretary general and CEO of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, said he's "deeply alarmed" about the hospital's fate: "I cannot stress this further. There is an urgent need to de-escalate to protect civilian lives, hospitals & doctors," he posted on X.

Many Gazans have sought shelter at hospitals, hoping they will escape the violence there but also because they are more likely to have electricity and running water. Israel has accused Hamas of using hospitals, mosques and schools to hide weapons and train its fighters.

'Civil order is starting to break down' in Gaza

The U.N.’s Palestinian relief agency warns that “civil order is starting to break down” in Gaza as thousands of desperate people broke into warehouses and distribution centers to take food and other supplies after Israeli ground forces moved in.

 

Thomas White, the Gaza affairs director of the U.N.’s Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, said Sunday in a statement that the current system for delivering humanitarian aid isn’t working. He said displaced Palestinians are crowding into homes in the middle and southern areas of the Gaza Strip, with up to 50 people sheltering in some households.

Israel has been bombarding Gaza since an Oct. 7 attack led by Hamas killed more than 1,400 people on Israeli soil and ignited a war that has killed more than 8,000 people in Gaza, according to the latest count by the Hamas-run Health Ministry. As it has increased its military response, Israel ordered people in northern Gaza to move south, concentrating residents in an area without adequate food, water or other services, according to humanitarian officials.

On Saturday, Gaza residents took food and hygiene supplies from warehouses and distribution centers, White said, an indication they are growing desperate. “This is a worrying sign that civil order is starting to break down after three weeks of war and a tight siege on Gaza,” he said in a statement. “People are scared, frustrated and desperate.”

Biden, Netanyahu talk hostages, civilian safety, aid for Gaza

President Joe Biden and Netanyahu discussed Israel's right to defend itself and the need to do so while protecting civilians in Gaza, according to a readout of their Sunday morning call.

 

They also talked about the efforts to locate hostages and gain their release, the White House said. Hamas and other militants are believed to be holding about 220 captives, Americans among them, most likely in different locations.

The leaders also covered the topic of aid coming into Gaza, which Biden has said is not happening as much as he'd like. "The President underscored the need to immediately and significantly increase the flow of humanitarian assistance to meet the needs of civilians in Gaza," the readout said. 

Israeli soldiers now in Gaza

In a video statement Saturday, Lt. General Herzi Halevi of the Israel Defense Forces said the response against Hamas had moved into a new phase, with soldiers deployed into Gaza for what's expected to be vicious fighting in the tunnels Hamas operates in the enclave.

"The best soldiers and commanders − well-trained and prepared − are now operating in Gaza," Halevi said. "The ground forces are currently carrying out an important and complex operation. The objectives of this war require a ground operation. Achievements demand risks, and as we know, every victory comes at a price.''

In a series of messages posted to X, the website formerly known as Twitter, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel is doing all it can to minimize civilian casualties during the ground offensive. In a prelude to the ground offensive, the IDF said its jets hit 150 underground targets in the northern Gaza Strip, attacking tunnels and "underground combat spaces" and killing several Hamas members.

"This is the second stage of the war, the goals of which are clear: Destroying Hamas's military and governing capabilities, and bringing the captives back home," Netanyahu said in a post. "The IDF does everything to avoid harming non-combatants. I again call on the civilian population to evacuate to a safe area in the southern Gaza Strip. In contrast, the cynicism of the enemy knows no bounds. He carries out war crimes by using civilians as human shields, by using hospitals as terrorist command centers and to supply fuel to its war machine."

Turkish president calls Israel's responses 'war crimes'

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan held a massive pro-Palestinian rally in Istanbul in which he said his country planned to formally accuse Israel of committing war crimes in the Gaza Strip.

“Israel, we will proclaim you as a war criminal to the world,” Erdogan said, without elaborating on the mechanism he intended to employ or what the action would mean. “We are making our preparations, and we will declare Israel to the world as a war criminal.”

 

In response, Israel said it was pulling its diplomats from Turkey, although some had already left for security reasons.

Erdogan, whose ruling party has roots in Turkey’s Islamic movement, has been an outspoken critic of Israel’s treatment of Palestinians since coming into office in 2003. Turkey is a NATO member, which means it's closely allied with the United States militarily. Israel is not a NATO member but is also militarily close with the U.S.

Turkey and Israel have long been at odds, but there were signs of a diplomatic thaw last year when then-Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid met with Erdogan at the U.N. and the countries agreed to resume formal relations for the first time since 2010.

US: Israel has a ‘responsibility’ to protect citizens in Gaza

National security adviser Jake Sullivan said Hamas “is hiding behind the civilian population in Gaza,” as Israel expands its ground incursion into the territory. While Israel has a right to defend itself, Sullivan said, it also needs to protect Palestinian citizens in Gaza. 

 

Israel has a “responsibility under international humanitarian law and the laws of war to do all in their power to protect the civilian population,” Sullivan said in an interview on ABC’s “This Week.”

Sullivan deferred to Israel to answer about its plans for the siege of Gaza, but said the U.S. “will continue to ask hard questions about how they are thinking this through, how they are proceeding.”

Pope calls for ceasefire, freeing hostages

In his weekly address from St. Peter's Square, Pope Francis called Sunday for a ceasefire and for hostages to be released. He also asked the faithful to pray for an end to the violence and for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.

"Stop, brothers and sisters: war is always a defeat − always, always," Francis said, according to the Vatican.

 

Hamas holds some 220 hostages and has released four under pressure from the U.S.

U.S. officials have not called for a ceasefire, which they said would help Hamas, but they have called for periodic humanitarian pauses in Israel's attack on Gaza.

Israel-Hamas war updates: Hundreds in Russia storm plane from Tel Aviv

 

Thomas White, the Gaza affairs director of the U.N.'s Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, said Sunday in a statement that the current system for delivering humanitarian aid isn't working. He said displaced Palestinians are crowding into homes in the middle and southern areas of the Gaza Strip, with up to 50 people sheltering in some households.

Concerns are also growing at the Al-Quds hospital, where an estimated 1,400 people, mostly women and children, have taken refuge. Officials at the hospital said they have been warned by Israel that the hospital could be bombarded.

Israel has been bombarding Gaza since an Oct. 7 attack led by Hamas killed more than 1,400 people on Israeli soil and ignited a war that has killed more than 8,000 people in Gaza, according to the latest count by the Hamas-run Health Ministry.

 Hundreds of Jewish activists were arrested Friday after they staged a sit-in at New York City's Grand Central Station protesting the war. The Times of Israel reported that police detained around 200 people, some wearing shirts saying "Not in our name," as they protested the violence and called for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas. The rush-hour protest was organized by the group Jewish Voice for Peace.

Israeli soldiers now in Gaza

In a video statement Saturday, Lt. General Herzi Halevi of the Israeli Defense Forces said the response against Hamas had moved into a new phase, with soldiers deployed into Gaza. Israel heavily bombarded Gaza following the Oct. 7 attack, and many experts believed that was a prelude to what could be vicious fighting in the tunnels Hamas operates from beneath Gaza.

"The best soldiers and commanders -- well-trained and prepared -- are now operating in Gaza," Halevi said. "The ground forces are currently carrying out an important and complex operation. The objectives of this war require a ground operation. Achievements demand risks and as we know, every victory comes at a price."

Red Crescent says Israel warns Al-Quds hospital may be a target

Concerns are growing about the fate of the Al-Quds hospital in Gaza, where 1,400 people have taken refuge while 400 patients are being treated, officials said. Video posted by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society showed dozens of women and children resting on blankets and cushions inside the hospital's lobby.

The society said it has been warned by Israeli forces to evacuate in advance of a bombardment, but said that's impossible: "We don't have the means to evacuate," spokeswoman Nibal Farsak said on the social media platform X, citing the challenge in moving people from the ICU.

What's happening:

Rejecting police intimidation and the lies of every major imperialist government, millions of people around the world participated in mass demonstrations over the weekend demanding an end to the US and NATO-backed Israeli genocide against Gaza.

Mass outrage is growing with each war crime committed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Hospitals, churches, residential buildings and the last remaining bakery in Northern Gaza have been targeted by the IDF, with over 4,700 Palestinians killed in the last two weeks. This includes nearly 2,000 children. Some 1,400 people are missing, with many feared dead under the rubble.

The past 24 hours have been the deadliest since the Israeli bombardment began on October 7, with more than 400 killed. Al Jazeera, citing the Palestinian news agency Wafa, reported that “at least 25 Israeli air attacks were recorded on residential areas in the Palestinian territory.”

According to the United Nations, more than 400,000 Palestinians are now categorized as “internally displaced persons.” Hundreds of thousands have packed into UN sheltering facilities, which are severely overcrowded.

Israel is bombarding not only Northern Gaza, but Southern Gaza as well, including the border crossing city of Rafah. More than a dozen people were killed in one airstrike on a house in Rafah on Sunday, including children. There are also reports that Israel is carrying out raids in the occupied West Bank.

Following the Israeli bombing of a hospital last week, which killed nearly 500, the IDF has sent bombs in the vicinity of the Al-Shifa Medical Complex and the Al-Quds Hospital. The Netanyahu government has demanded that all hospitals in the north shut down, which would mean a death sentence for many receiving critical care.

On Saturday, Palestinians still remaining north of the Wadi Gaza river awoke to thousands of leaflets being dropped by the Israeli Air Force. The leaflets warned that their “presence North of Wadi Gaza is putting your lives at risk.”

It added, “Anyone who chooses not to evacuate from the North of the Gaza Strip to the South of the Gaza Strip may be identified as a partner in a terrorist organization.” In other words, anyone not willing or able to leave behind their home, or one of the few remaining functioning hospitals, is subject to slaughter by the IDF.

300,000 demonstrate in London against Israel’s war on Gaza

The largest anti-war demonstration in Britain since 2003, when over a million protested the illegal invasion of Iraq, saw 300,000 people march and rally in London Saturday against Israel’s war on Gaza.

The march assembled at Park Lane and proceeded through central London, ending with a rally in Whitehall, where the prime minister’s residence, 10 Downing Street is located.

The march was so big that in the middle of the rally it was announced from the stage that the left and right part of the demonstration in Whitehall would have to go into nearby Parliament Square to prevent a possible crush, as so many were still arriving from Trafalgar Square.

The turnout was despite London being deluged by Storm Babet during the afternoon and restrictions on transport in the capital. At some points demonstrators were walking through several inches of rain on the streets. The march would have been even larger had not trains and other transport from the north of England been halted due to flooding and landslides.

The police ludicrously still tried to claim it was smaller than last week’s 150,000-strong demonstration, saying that around that 100,000 attended. This vast playing down of its size was faithfully repeated by the media, including the Guardian.

Young people, students and workers carried the Palestinian flag and chanted, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free”, in defiance of the Conservative government’s attempts to criminalise these actions. Noticeable was the number of homemade banners, with slogans such as “Stop killing children”, “Free, free Palestine” and “End the Occupation”. A large number of Jewish protesters took part.

Massive numbers of police were again mobilised, including counter-terrorism officers and specialised public order units among the 1,000 on the streets.

A London Underground train driver led a chant of “Free, Free Palestine” on his speaker system, adding, “Hope you all have a blessed day today and look after yourselves.”. A video of the incident on X/Twitter was viewed millions of times. London Underground Limited immediately announced that they had asked British Transport Police to investigate the “incident”.

Hashim, originally from Sudan, spoke at the Socialist Equality Party’s stall. “What you’re seeing in Gaza is a neo-liberal colonisation of the Middle East. It has its own economic and historical background. They are pushing their agenda by getting rid of any resistance in Palestine, to establish their new order.

Hashim

“Look at all the war zones within this area and you will understand how fake this ‘international community’ are. They don’t care about humanity.

“Sudan is still under colonisation, despite independence since 1956. When you look at the position of the United States towards Sudan, they don’t care about the Sudanese. They only care about their own interests.

Hashim cited Saudia Arabia’s war in Yemen, backed by Britain and the US, “They want to take over the world and they don’t care about the people. We Have to fight back, otherwise the whole world will see some sort of catastrophe. Gaza is a warning to the world.”

Laura said, “Like many people I feel sick to the stomach that the leader of the opposition is complicit in genocide, refusing to call it out as a genocide, or even the simplest thing of calling for a ceasefire.

Laura with a banner denouncing Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer's support for Israeli war crimes

“I’ve voted Labour in the past but I’m not going to in the next election because I can’t in good conscience. Then there’s also what’s come out from the leadership about no councillors or senior Labour Party members can be seen at protests. They aren’t allowed to show support for people who are being ethnically cleansed.

“It’s basic human rights. You’re meant to be a political leader and you can’t stand for people’s freedom, freedom not to be bombed!

“I’m not surprised by attempts to demonise protestors. That’s why it’s important so many people turn out because it counters the narrative. Try and argue with 500,000 people on the streets.”

 

Saskia said, “It’s another example of a marginalised group who are being completely ignored, and Britain is complicit in it through its history with the British Mandate for Palestine, after the Ottoman Empire fell.

“It feels like a responsibility to act and speak up. Palestinians are living in an open-air prison; they’re being cut off from the internet, electricity, food, water. They are being blockaded by the Israeli government.

“This current Labour leadership, I don’t stand with them or support them in any way. Starmer, and all of them, can’t take back the words they’ve said. They claim to speak for the people, but they don’t. They’re the same as the Tories.”

Scarlet, a retail worker, said, “I was scared of being branded a terrorist sympathiser, but something needs to be done about what is happening. This is genocide. There are millions of people in Gaza, half of which are children. Our media and our government stand with IsraelPalestinian’s are fighting for their existence and we need to stand with them.

 

 

“Workers are the majority in this world. They have the real power. The unity of people of conscience in Israel and Palestine is the only way things are going to change.”

Steve, a care worker, said, “The media is telling a one sided narrative, most of it is lies. What we are seeing on the internet, social media, I can’t sleep looking at it. Killing children non-stop, the cutting of food, water, electricity. I do not know where to start with the hospital bombing, it was sickening. Most of us grow up idolising America, but it’s not what you think it is. The government of Biden is very dark.”

Protests in Salford, Leeds and Sheffield, UK: “It’s a genocide happening there and the media are just lying about it.”

Protests mobilising thousands took place in Salford, Leeds and Sheffield on Saturday, just some of the mass demonstrations in cities throughout the UK. The Salford and Leeds protests both targeted BBC broadcasting facilities, due to the outrage generated by its biased coverage of Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza.

Ibrahim, 25, came to the UK with his family from Yemen when he was four. “We want people to know the truth,” he said. “Israel has a say in what goes on in the media in the UK.” The poster he was carrying showed himself as an eight-year-old on a pro-Palestinian demonstration, “It’s been going on the whole time I’ve been alive”, alongside a picture of himself with an anti-Zionist rabbi. “He supports the Palestinians. So many Jews don’t support the state of Israel. Jews, Christians and Muslims used to live together in harmony. It’s happened before and it can happen again.

“[Israeli Prime Minister [Netanyahu] says the whole world is watching, but everyone is watching him massacring kids in hospitals. What they did to the Jews in the Holocaust, they’re doing to the Palestinians. Gaza is an open prison. They’re being pushed into a small piece of land and there’s nowhere to go. It’s ethnic cleansing. They want to kill all the Palestinians. The Israeli Defence Minister said kill them all, starve everyone, like Hitler.”

Leeds

William, a student, said, “Palestinians have faced oppression for years now. The Israeli government needs to stop the genocide, the ethnic cleansing and the bombing of all Palestinians because they have just the exact same right to be there as the Israelis.”

Abbie said, “It’s a genocide happening there and the media are just lying about it. The Israeli government has killed way more Palestinians than Israelis that have died. All these people are dying and we don’t even know their names or their stories. It’s just horrific to see. The government is trying to keep us quiet.”

Saba, a student, said, “It’s not about Palestine anymore. It’s about genocide. It’s about mass killing. And that’s unacceptable whoever it is, ever.

 
Saba

“Everyone should know about everything in the history books on Palestine. In the media they’re only showing one side of the story. Its propaganda. This is not going to stop opposition because there is a lot of people against Israel. Even Jews themselves. You can’t stop this many people.”

“To topple a government, you need to have the workers united for a cause. For now, we’re united to oppose the Israeli apartheid regime. Many major companies and fast-food restaurants like McDonald’s support Israel and other oppressive regimes. We should boycott them. You can’t support a company that props up ethnic cleansing and apartheid.

Millions protest worldwide as Israel unleashes deadliest bombing campaign against Gaza since October 7

What's happening:

Rejecting police intimidation and the lies of every major imperialist government, millions of people around the world participated in mass demonstrations over the weekend demanding an end to the US and NATO-backed Israeli genocide against Gaza.

Mass outrage is growing with each war crime committed by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Hospitals, churches, residential buildings and the last remaining bakery in Northern Gaza have been targeted by the IDF, with over 4,700 Palestinians killed in the last two weeks. This includes nearly 2,000 children. Some 1,400 people are missing, with many feared dead under the rubble.

 

The past 24 hours have been the deadliest since the Israeli bombardment began on October 7, with more than 400 killed. Al Jazeera, citing the Palestinian news agency Wafa, reported that “at least 25 Israeli air attacks were recorded on residential areas in the Palestinian territory.”

Hundreds rally in Ann Arbor, Michigan: “The media is not covering the protests because they understand the power that comes with people uniting.”

In Ann Arbor on Saturday, over 300 protestors gathered to protest the genocide in Gaza. There was a noticeable anger directed specifically toward the Biden Administration’s role in embracing the slaughter of Palestinians by the Israeli military. A major chant at the event, repeated many times throughout the day, was “Biden Biden What Do You Say? How Many Children Did You Kill Today?”

A noticeable feature of the rally was the dominant presence of young people in attendance, with some as young as nine years old speaking out powerfully in opposition to the attack on Gaza. Placards called for an end to the unfolding genocide, denounced the Israeli attacks on Gaza as war crimes, and opposed US-Israeli apartheid of Palestinians. There were also denunciations of University of Michigan President Santa Ono, who twice refused to specifically oppose the US-Israeli war crimes against Palestinians in official communiques.

A team of SEP and IYSSE members campaigned throughout the event, and passed out the WSWS perspective Biden’s demand for $105 billion in military spending: A declaration of war against the working class. The statement was warmly received. Attendees spoke powerfully about their opposition to the horrific war crimes unfolding in Gaza. They also spoke out against Biden’s proposed $105 billion spending bill on war.  

One protestor said “It’s interesting how he goes to fund the genocide that’s impacting the Palestinians then also funds humanitarian aid at the same time. I find it very hypocritical. Every year they give, with our US tax dollars, $3.8 billion to Israel, which I think is something that should instead be put into American citizens, funding education, housing, food. We have a lot of issues here that could be of much better interest than sending it to the Israeli army, which has been causing and unfolding genocide in Gaza.”

Many protesters were Palestinian or had deep family connections to Palestine. Some interviewees denounced the media blackout of the mass protests around the world. Another protestor commented “The mdeia is not covering the protests because they understand the power that comes with people uniting and waking up and shaking up the system, causing an uproar. They are not covering this because they are in fear of people doing just that. I think we do need to justly stand with Palestinian people or else we will find ourselves on the brink of World War III.”

“For Biden to continue to fund all these murders,” a young Egyptian-American told the WSWS, “is unacceptable.”

Israel Has Permanently Lost The Argument

NOTES FROM THE EDGE OF THE NARRATIVE MATRIX

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

 

I’m sorry if this makes me an evil terrorist-loving baby-raping sieg-heiling Nazi, but in my humble opinion genocidal massacres are bad.

Israel and its allies get away with a lot by marketing this as a “war”. It’s not a warIsrael launches high-tech military explosives at civilian buildings in a huge concentration camp while Hamas fires back with glorified fireworks which do light property damage. That’s not a war, it’s a massacre.

I was upset when I saw that Israel has killed seven thousand people in its Gaza bombing campaign but then a really smart Israel apologist told me Hamas might be exaggerating those numbers and maybe it’s more like four thousand, so now I think it’s fine.

What kind of drooling, knuckle-dragging, tapioca-brained moron can look at the satellite images of the damage caused by Israeli airstrikes and believe Gaza is lying about its death toll?

CNN has just published completely shocking before and after satellite images showing the extent of the obliteration of Gaza neighborhoods. Israel was not lying when it claimed to be focused on damage rather than accuracy: https://t.co/grJx0HyKpi pic.twitter.com/mPF5TTVOIv

— Nathan J Robinson (@NathanJRobinson) October 26, 2023

Look it’s very simple: if your words say “we’re not targeting civilians we’re targeting Hamas” but your actions say you’re inflicting siege warfare on the civilian population and carpet bombing entire city blocks into rubble, then you’re not really targeting Hamas.

Israel-Palestine is a very complicated, confusing, highly nuanced debate between those who think murdering thousands of children is fine and those who do not.

This is a very complicated genocidal massacre. Most complicated genocidal massacre in the history of genocidal massacres. There’s two sides to this genocidal massacre. This genocidal massacre requires nuance.

Normal person: Israel is killing children by the thousands as we speak

Crazy person: WHY AREN’T YOU CONDEMNING HAMAS??

When you realize your government and all its allies bet all their middle east foreign policy chips on a psychotic cult leader. https://t.co/9wHSIqlYJS

— Caitlin Johnstone (@caitoz) October 26, 2023

Israel apologists are the worst. The absolute worst. I’ve sparred with countless political factions over the years, and I’ve never encountered a group so profoundly morally bankrupt and psychologically malformed. They’re so awful that their apologia actually hurts Israel’s image. Nothing will reassure you of the moral correctness of your opposition to Israel faster than interacting with Israel apologists online.

It keeps surprising me that Israel apologists still expect to be taken seriously. Israel is massacring children by the thousands and turning Gaza into rubble and they still expect you to listen to them receptively when they defend its actions. It’s actually starting to get morbidly fascinating.

In the old days murderous thugs just grabbed whatever land they wanted and killed anyone who tried to stop them. That still happens today too, but now the thugs have to make up liberal-sounding, sympathy-pulling justifications for it, like “spreading freedom and democracy” or “Israel has a right to defend itself.”

Israel has lost the argument. Permanently. There’s no coming back from this.

I cannot adequately express the immensity of my respect for the many, many, many Jewish voices I’ve seen taking a firm and forceful stand against the Gaza massacre. I’m just over here getting yelled at by strangers online and I find it pretty intense; you’re having much harder arguments with family, with friends, with people you’ve known your whole lives. You’re out there protesting, taking action and moving the needle, typically with far more skill and incisiveness than anyone else in the world. 

Big, big, big-hearted love to all of you. You amaze me.

 

Engineered atrocities are committed against civilians to provoke Arab response that leads to world war

Engineered atrocities are committed against civilians to provoke Arab response that leads to world war 
Mike Adams

Today I've published my list of 22 disastrous consequences that are about to be unleashed if Israel launches its full-scale ground attack on Gaza. Among other things, it leads to the destruction of Israel and the total demise of the entire western financial system.

To find out why, read the full analysis here.

Also today, I have a bombshell interview with Major Jeffrey Prather that reveals how the atrocities the world is now witnessing the Israel / Palestine conflict are deliberately engineered to provoke a regional Arab response that will thrust the USA into World War III.

And why would the leaders want that? To cover up their generations of crimes against We the People. They need a scapegoat... a cover story. So they need Iran and Russia to get involved as rapidly as possible. Once they do, the great reset will be initiated and Iran / Russia will be blamed for everything, including the widespread financial losses experienced by those foolish enough to keep holding US dollars in US banks.

Today I've published my list of 22 disastrous consequences that are about to be unleashed if Israel launches its full-scale ground attack on Gaza. Among other things, it leads to the destruction of Israel and the total demise of the entire western financial system.

To find out why, read the full analysis here.

Also today, I have a bombshell interview with Major Jeffrey Prather that reveals how the atrocities the world is now witnessing the Israel / Palestine conflict are deliberately engineered to provoke a regional Arab response that will thrust the USA into World War III.

And why would the leaders want that? To cover up their generations of crimes against We the People. They need a scapegoat... a cover story. So they need Iran and Russia to get involved as rapidly as possible. Once they do, the great reset will be initiated and Iran / Russia will be blamed for everything, including the widespread financial losses experienced by those foolish enough to keep holding US dollars in US banks.

On Gaza And Human Consciousness

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

 

It gets harder and harder for the imperial propagandists to frame empire-targeted powers like Hamas as Evil Villains who are simply Evil because they are Evil. As our society gains a better and better collective understanding of psychology and trauma and why individuals do what they do, fewer and fewer people are swallowing such infantile propagandistic frameworks. When something scary and traumatizing happens, more and more people are beginning to ask, “Why? Why did that happen? What were the antecedents which led those people to do what they did?”

When people start asking such questions, answers are revealed which are very inconvenient for the information interests of the western empire. Oh it turns out Israel is an abusive apartheid state and Gaza is a giant concentration camp where Palestinians are deprived of basic human needs. Oh it turns out NATO was amassing war machinery near Russia’s border in ways the United States would never in a million years permit near its own borders. Oh it turns out western powers were funneling weapons to murderous extremist groups in Syria with the goal of ousting Assad and installing a puppet regime in Damascus.

More and more people understand that nobody is just plain evil because they are evil; if they’re doing something violent and scary, it’s a safe bet that something violent and scary was done to them, either immediately before or in their formative years. You see this expanding awareness manifest today in popular movies and shows with the rise of the anti-hero and complex villains with traumatic pasts that you can understand and sympathize with. Modern storytelling has largely abandoned the Virtuous Protagonist vs Villainous Antagonist model, simply because audiences are too conscious to buy it anymore. It loses their interest and attention.

And of course this expanded awareness extends to Israel as well. A people who had just suffered an unfathomable collective trauma were told they have a place that they can call their own in the Holy Land where they can feel safe, and then we saw the kind of violence and abuse we’d expect to see from a highly traumatized population who suddenly had power over the indigenous people who were living there previously. That trauma went into the psyches of the Palestinians, who sometimes do things only highly traumatized people would do.

And round and round it goes.

Really we’re all just lost little kids stumbling around from jump scare to jump scare in a frightening world that we do not understand. Some of us are better at faking self-assuredness than others, but really none of us know what this big mysterious world is all about and we only do what we do because we are whipped around by forces within ourselves we can’t really see, which were put there when we were too young to understand the trauma that was happening to us.

That’s all this really is. It comes out in some ugly, horrifying ways, like what we’re seeing in Gaza right now, but underneath it all it’s ultimately just scared little kids frozen in grown adult bodies trying to feel like they have a little bit of control in this wild chaotic world so they maybe won’t get hurt and scared again.

It comes out in some dark, dark ways and leads our species down some dark, dark paths. It might even get us all killed in a nuclear holocaust one day. But underneath it all we were always just a bunch of scared little primates, getting thrown around by psychological forces we hadn’t made conscious in a world our newly evolved brains aren’t equipped to comprehend.

I don’t know where our strange adventure is taking us or what we’ll endure on the remainder of our winding road together. But there does seem to be a light growing, even amid all the violence and the screams. Maybe we’ll wake up one day and stop acting out these terrible patterns. Maybe we’ll wake up one day and build a healthy world.

 

 

 

Double Standards, Dehumanization, Complexity & A Way Forward

As conflict continues to unfold around our world I have found myself in a phase of stepping back further and further to get as big a picture of what’s going on as possible.

The motivation behind this is to be sure I’m examining my own bias’ or limited views, and to take a moment to collectively witness the emotions, perspectives and stories - lived and observed - of fellow humans around the world.

When the shit hits the fan, it’s the EASIEST time to get lost in emotion, certainty, and taking sides.

A mentor of mine years ago said to me: as you move toward mastery, bombs can go off around you and you’ll still have access to remaining grounded.

What he meant was not literal bombs, but that as things become frantic and chaotic in our world or lives, you can remain attuned to yourself enough to not get pulled in as you continually practice remaining centered.

I liken this to my days of performing under high pressure while playing competitive baseball. Those BIG moments in playoffs or championships require one to stay in the flow as much as the less tense moments at the beginning of the season.

With conflict building so deeply in our collective moment, fears, divisions, and emotions are high. How can we acknowledge this without being unnecessarily overtaken by it?


You may be familiar with the iceberg model often used in systems thinking or personal transformation.

It essentially states that the tip of the iceberg, what we see, is not just based on our thinking or actions in that moment, but is driven by MANY factors hidden beneath the surface.

Here is a visual example:

     

The iceberg model was a driving factor in creating Collective Evolution well over a decade ago. I wanted to understand the totality of what was driving humanity’s current moment by looking all the way to our worldview and consciousness, and seeing how that shapes what occurs in our human experience.

The idea was that if we went THERE, we’d be able to define problems better and thus know how to bring about a solution - which of course would include a shifting of consciousness, getting out of dogmatic thinking, healing trauma etc.

The iceberg model has been a big part of my ideas around embodied sensemaking over the years as well. If we can focus our attention on our WHOLE being - body, mind, emotions etc - and the interplay that exists there, we can better sense what is driving ourselves and others, and better sense into future solutions that aren’t coming from the limited levels of mind that are a record of the past, often clouded by pain and emotion.

What embodied sensemaking does is it better prepares us to have the capacity to hold complexity without feeling overwhelmed, which can push us into black and white thinking.

With this in mind, I have compiled a series of videos I have watched to better make sense of this situation and feel into the various emotions, ideas, perspectives, and realities surrounding this situation.

I am not asking you to hear these videos and choose a side and jump to conclusions but to really connect with what people are saying and how they might feel within this conflict. For the purpose of this, ignore the headlines and titles of these videos. They are used to gain clicks, not necessarily to convey the spirit of the video.

In these videos there are many perspectives from differing layers, see what it feels like to stay connected to and remind yourself of each of these layers without losing sight of the other and choosing simplification.

Can they be held at the same time? This is a practice of increasing our capacity for complexity. It is built via awareness, intention, and consciousness.

➤ It is not simple to understand the political situation in Palestine and how that intersects with the conflict with Israel. I alluded to this in a previous article when I stated “Hamas does not represent Palestinians as a whole” because they literally do not. It’s also like saying corrupt oligarchy governments of the West represent their people. They often do not. Below is an interview with a Palestinian politician Hanan Ashwari who gives insight into how things are perceived from a greater umbrella of the Palestinian perspective.

➤ This is a video of an Israeli woman conveying what is being felt among citizens of Israel as it relates to fear, worry, anxiety and uncertainty. This is a way of connecting to humanity in this, beyond politics. I imagine the same can be said for some Palestinians. This reminds us to be careful not to dehumanize or lose connection to humans during this. It’s so easy to look at the politicians in a country and feel they represent real people, but this reminds us they often do not.

➤ Below is a discussion around the debate of collective punishment with an Israeli politician. It includes discussion around who is supporting these acts and why we are having a hard time coming to an agreement about the idea of ‘justification’ and ‘defending oneself.’ What does that mean? What does that truly look like? Finally, it gets into a discussion around racism and double standards around ethnic cleansing of regions.

➤ The video below is of Israeli Ambassador to the UK Tzipi Hotovely discussing the atrocities of this current conflict and also shares her feelings that Israel must eradicate all evil. She does not believe there is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza right now. This video conveys much emotion that can be reflective of SOME people within Israel's government and citizenry. I’ve seen people calling her perspective disgusting, and perhaps that is valid for some, but the pain she is feeling colors her words and perspective. What do we gain by witnessing her pain vs. judging her words? Is it not a reflection of why conflict carries on? Does it ask us to stop and think longer before reacting with more violence?

➤ The video below indicates why a former US State Department official resigned during this conflict and how little balanced discussion there is around this conflict within Western governments. He makes the point that all actions up to this point in this long conflict have not led to peace. He asks why are we doing the same thing over and over. Is this getting us to where we need to be?

➤ The video below is a breakdown of how we tend to look at sides of a conflict and decide who is more or less in the right, or who is the terrorist, and how this can then lead to double standards of this framing depending on the situation. It especially points to looking at conflicts in a narrow timeframe and not the full timeline of events. I felt it was a meaningful way of expanding our perspective to consider the bigger picture.

➤ An older clip of Noam Chomsky and a CBS journalist going back and forth to work out the nature of this conflict, the legalities, and the responses from other countries going back multiple decades. It appears there have been many attempts to avoid finding peace and a solution here.

I don’t want to overwhelm beyond this. There is plenty more that can be discussed and there are certainly more perspectives to include, it’s impossible to include everything.

We’d love to hear from you on this topic in the comments below. Also, feel free to share this article with friends and family to help spread a different approach to observing global conflicts.

All Israel Apologists Have Are Ad Hominem Attacks

Caitlin Johnstone

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

 

The Washington Post has a new article out explaining why it and other mainstream media outlets have been citing the Gaza Health Ministry as a source on the daily death toll from Israel’s ongoing bombing campaign, noting that the ministry has an established track record of reporting such deaths truthfully and accurately.

“Everyone uses the figures from the Gaza Health Ministry because those are generally proven to be reliable,” Human Rights Watch’s Omar Shakir told the Post. “In the times in which we have done our own verification of numbers for particular strikes, I’m not aware of any time which there’s been some major discrepancy.”

This point is inconvenient for Israel apologists — including the president of the United States — who’ve been suggesting in recent days that the Gaza death count is untrustworthy on the basis that the Gaza Health Ministry operates under Hamas governance. 

“I have no notion that the Palestinians are telling the truth about how many people are killed,” Biden told the press on Wednesday, adding, “I have no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using.”

Adam Taylor, the author of the aforementioned Washington Post article, correctly notes that Biden’s statements are a bit odd given that his own State Department considered Gaza’s Ministry of Health reliable enough to cite their death counts in its own reports as recently as a few months ago.

What changed? The information interests of the US empire changed.

When I drew attention to all this on Twitter a few hours ago I immediately started getting comments from Israel apologists dismissing the information I was providing because Human Rights Watch is bad and unreliable and because The Washington Post is bad and unreliable, in order to defend their belief that the Gaza Ministry of Health is bad and unreliable.

These are the tactics of people who have lost the argument. They understand that the soaring death counts from Israel’s ongoing massacre of Palestinians in Gaza is devastating to the information interests of the side they support, so they need to make up fairy tales about how The Washington Post, Human Rights Watch and the US State Department have been engaged in a years-long conspiracy to make Israel look bad.

Despite Biden's skepticism about Gaza Health Ministry death toll numbers, the State Department was citing them just a few months ago: https://t.co/J6pWr0LQur https://t.co/ZTBOCYZcwE

Which is of course not to say that anyone should ever believe claims made by The Washington Post or Human Rights Watch on blind faith — I’ve had major criticisms of both of these institutions myself over the years. Believing they’re infallible would be as misguided as believing they’re always lying.

Which is exactly the point I’m trying to make here: it’s not about the source, it’s about the strength of the argument. Attacking the source instead of attacking the argument is what people do when they can’t attack the argument. It’s a standard ad hominem.

A lot of people think an ad hominem is when you say something that hurts the feelings of somebody you disagree with, but that’s not what that term refers to. An ad hominem is when you attack the character or motives of the person making the argument instead of attacking the argument itself; it’s a fallacious debate tactic designed to move the conversation away from the pursuit of truth and facts to just dismissing someone’s claims because you don’t like them. It can be entirely appropriate to interrogate someone’s motives and character when that’s the only information you’ve got to work with and is relevant to the conversation, but when it’s used as a substitute for addressing evidence and argumentation it’s a fallacy.

And that’s the only tool Israel apologists seem to have in their toolbox these days. It’s exactly what they are doing when they accuse you of being a “terrorist supporter” or an “anti-semite” when you criticize Israel; they cannot address your actual criticisms because Israel’s actions in Gaza are indefensible, so they attempt to malign your character or your motives to shut down the debate and keep people from listening to you.

The “you can’t trust those death counts because they come from the health ministry of an enemy government” line can be used in literally any war against literally any enemy. People who care about facts don’t look at what governmental loyalties a source has, they look at whether the institutions in question have a track record of being reliable or not, and whether its claims are supported by evidence.

This is what Joe Biden, Emmanuel Macron, Ursula von der Leyen and the rest of the West are supporting. pic.twitter.com/I4fQXYgPn0

You’d have to be a complete idiot to look at the photos and videos showing entire city blocks reduced to rubble in an area known to be packed full of children and not assume that there is a massive number of civilian deaths in Gaza right now. As Antiwar’s Dave DeCamp recently noted, dramatic increases in death counts in Gaza correspond directly with Israeli government statements about having increased the number of bombs dropped. This is what you would expect to see if the ministry was accurately reporting deaths. 

Israel apologists are doing everything they can to minimize and justify Israel’s crimes in every way possible, because if westerners start looking objectively at the crimes themselves they will cease consenting to this horrific genocidal massacre that western governments are fully supporting. 

They don’t have truth on their side, and they don’t have morality on their side, so all they can ever do is attack the sources of the ideas and information that are opening people’s eyes to the criminality of Israel and its western allies.
