The Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City was established in 1954 or 1955 as refuge of many blacklisted scientists, many of them Jews, who were victims of McCarthy era. Now there is new twist to the blacklisting. Maybe a new higher education institution needs to be established to give those people who value Palestinian lives and who speak out (against Israel atrocities and are blacklisted for speaking out, labelled 'anti-semites') a new chance to pursue their academic careers.
Nathanael - your assertion about NOBODY respected women than can be challenged - e.g. the wife of Otto I, Adelheid, was made a co-regent and crowned with him in 960's A.D., so women wielded power and were respected...
I wonder aloud , if the Murdoch empire and the computer "specialists" who were entrusted with US phone and internet supervision - are not one and the same? The scandal of illegal wiretaps which was publicised a few years ago by a whistleblower - "blew over" and nobody talks about it anymore. I read somewhere that some of the computer firms are Israeli owned. Is any truth to that? If my suspicion is correct, the bribing of police officers like the one alleged in GB, would not be necessary and is possibly a red herring in order to deflect from the much wider scandal higher up in the electronic system.
Thank you Sir for this blog - it helps to understand what is being played in the mass media. I hope dearly that your blog is read by more and more people. I am doing my part to popularize it in my circles.
Germans are also very involved in solar power, one can see the roofs of homes and even farmers barns are covered with solar panels; what a different attitude there - and consider that geographic latitude of Germany is at the level of southern Canada and the number of sunny days is less than in the USA. One could wish that the US govt will finally do something about the renewable energy and not just talk. Now, after another environmental disaster off the coast of Louisiana, the idea of renewable sources should be more palatable to the "repucrats". The Green party in the US may get some boost because of that disaster.

definition of chutzpah: bomb Gaza into stone age and then ask the "international community - especially Germany - for massive aid in reconstruction"
Excellent Comment, Sir. I could not agree more. I start my days by reading your blog. Thank you for the service to us all.

The video above cannot be played; I saw it on the first day and than it magically disappeared... How curious!!
I will join you -
