The following debate originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, Brooke M…
Brooke N.: A number of people I know, and even more FB friends I’ve never met have, since Ferguson, argued that White Privilege doesn’t exist. The past month or so has presented a perfect example of how it does exist and how it is expressed. Kenya experienced an act of terrorism in which a school was bombed and many children died. I believe there were 149 dead. 2 days before Paris there was a bombing in Lebanon. Then Paris. Then yesterday or the day before (international time zones) terrorists struck in Nigeria. Je suis Kenya? Not much. Je suis Lebanon? Not much. Je suis Paris? Oh yes! Change your profile picture with the French flag, calls to go to war, wall to wall coverage. Je suis Nigeria? Al Jazeera reported it, but certainly not much coverage. And that, my friends, is white privilege. Of course I care about Paris. But it is only when white people die that we get the full bore floodlight of the media, the pull on every heart string, because that’s what sells us burgers.
Bobby C.: True Brooke
Ahmed A.: Respect Ma’am!
Steven S.: Very valid. My only issue is, (if you can call it that), that there is no way to defend white people without seeming racist. Just gotta stand there and get slapped. (Click Here to Continue Reading This Post)

Now the Truth Emerges: How the US Fueled the Rise of ISIS in Syria and Iraq:

(Seumas Milne, Guardian) The war on terror, that campaign without end launched 14 years ago by George Bush, is tying itself up in ever more grotesque contortions. On Monday the trial in London of a Swedish man, Bherlin Gildo, accused of terrorism in Syria, collapsed after it became clear British intelligence had been arming the same rebel groups the defendant was charged with supporting.
The prosecution abandoned the case, apparently to avoid embarrassing the intelligence services. The defence argued that going ahead withthe trial would have been an “affront to justice” when there was plenty of evidence the British state was itself providing “extensive support” to the armed Syrian opposition.
That didn’t only include the “non-lethal assistance” boasted of by the government (including body armour and military vehicles), but training, logistical support and the secret supply of “arms on a massive scale”. Reports were cited that MI6 had cooperated with the CIA on a “rat line” of arms transfers from Libyan stockpiles to the Syrian rebels in 2012 after the fall of the Gaddafi regime.
My Commentary: The Truth only “now” emerges in the mainstream media monopoly, after almost an entire year of being reported by independent news sources, while the American public sleepwalks their way into another war adventure!
I shared the following article on Facebook in September of 2014:

But, who’s really worried about inconvenient little facts like these when “educating” (brainwashing) one’s self about current events using only establishment-endorsed sources?
Is it finally time to stop being spoon-fed serving after serving of deception by the same professional liars that sold the American public WMDs and the war in Iraq? Hmm…

Gallup Poll Finds American Trust in Corporate Media at All-Time Low:
http://theantimedia.org/gallup-poll-finds-american-trust-in-corporate-media-at-all-time-low/
(Carey Wedler, TheAntiMedia) A Gallup poll released on Wednesday indicated that Americans are increasingly distrustful of mainstream news, classified as newspaper, radio, and television. Of those polled, only 40% indicated they had a “great deal” or “a fair amount” of trust in the mass media to report the news “fully, accurately, and fairly.” The other response options were “not very much” and “not at all.”
