DO BRITS UNDERSTAND IRONY?
MASSIVE PROTESTS HIT ISRAEL
The people are finally getting wise as to how their money and wealth is being stolen and squandered on terrorism. Looks like they will not take it any longer. Iran is watching very closely for human rights violations! – Max Blumenthal
Gun-Controlled Chicago: Ten Shot at Memorial for Shooting Victim
Kind of ironic, don’t ya think?
If only Chicago had tough gun laws, this would never happen. Oh yeah, they have the toughest gun laws in the country.
Maybe they should ban shooting memorials.
Will Black Lives Matter be protesting this mass shooting? How about Jesse or Sharpton?
Maybe Obama can take time out from his $400k per speech tour to do some community organizing on the Southside and convince these rambunctious teens to stop shooting each other.
Ten people were shot–two fatally–on Sunday during a memorial for a Chicago man who had been shot and killed earlier in the day.
The shooting at the memorial occurred in Brighton Park around 5:20 pm.

Global Warming Expedition Stopped In Its Tracks By Arctic Sea Ice
The MV Akademik Shokalskiy is pictured stranded in ice in Antarctica, December 29, 2013.A group of adventurers, sailors, pilots and climate scientists that recently started a journey around the North Pole in an effort to show the lack of ice, has been blocked from further travels by ice.
The Polar Ocean Challenge is taking a two month journey that will see them go from Bristol, Alaska, to Norway, then to Russia through the North East passage, back to Alaska through the North West passage, to Greenland and then ultimately back to Bristol. Their objective, as laid out by their website, was to demonstrate “that the Arctic sea ice coverage shrinks back so far now in the summer months that sea that was permanently locked up now can allow passage through.”
There has been one small hiccup thus-far though: they are currently stuck in Murmansk, Russia because there is too much ice blocking the North East passage the team said didn’t exist in summer months, according to Real Climate Science.

BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU
“Big Brother is Watching You.” – George Orwell, 1984
“Now I will tell you the answer to my question. It is this. The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.” – George Orwell, 1984
