sure but both ad blockers and non-web email clients exist. you can block ads on facebook but they still decide what posts you see, in what order, etc

As for Wikileaks, there has clearly been a coordinated effort in recent times to dismiss it as nothing more than a Russian propaganda operation, which is obviously ridiculous, and a sign that the US intelligence community still bears a grudge against Assange. Regardless, I find him an untrustworthy person and hold him in very low esteem.
tears posted:so that russian guy and his daughter whom was nerve agent poisoned in britain were fortunatly for him right next door to the UKs main biochemical weapons research facility, good job some jolly ol british scientists were so close by to lend a hand, what a colossaly fortunate coincidence
I knew the Pentagon pays for a lot of Hollywood propaganda but I had no idea how active a role they played in script writing
When Bond is about to HALO jump out of a military transport plane they realise he’s going to land in Vietnamese waters. In the original script Bond’s CIA sidekick jokes ‘You know what will happen. It will be war, and maybe this time we’ll win.’
This line was removed at the request of the DOD.
So, it was even shadier than the killary email made it look, which was already a monstrous crime against humanity.
I've noticed there has been an accelerated 'rising damp' of ruling class conspiracies promulgating in recent years.
Anything has been permissible to say about Kim Jong Un since he was elected president of the workers party of Korea (since he is a crazy and sneaky Asian).
But since 2013 Ruling Class commentators scrambling for explanations why the Syrian government would use chemical weapons in Damascus the day after un inspectors arrived having lobbied them for months.
The Theory that they settled on then and again in 2017 is that Assad Conspires to gas Syrian civilians at the worst possible time and place for himself as a deliberate snub and show of strength to the international community, like a peacock showing off feathers.
Now with the UK thing, I see esteemed BBC journos floating theories that Putin is deliberately killing nobodies in London ahead of his re-election to drive up voting numbers
I don't know where all this is going, but with the Western world now fully besieged by Oriental Dictators that need to be brought to heel, I'd guess nowhere good

-Cooper was born in Manhattan, New York City, the younger son of the writer Wyatt Emory Cooper and the artist, fashion designer, writer, and heiress Gloria Vanderbilt. His maternal grandparents were millionaire equestrian Reginald Claypoole Vanderbilt and socialite Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, and his maternal great-great-great-grandfather was business magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt, who founded the prominent Vanderbilt shipping and railroad fortune.
-During college, Cooper spent two summers as an intern at the Central Intelligence Agency. Although he has no formal journalistic education, he opted to pursue a career in journalism rather than stay with the agency after school, having been a self-proclaimed "news junkie since was in utero."
-Finding it hard to get his foot in the door of on-air reporting, Cooper decided to enlist the help of a friend in making a fake press pass. At the time, Cooper was working as a fact checker for the small news agency Channel One, which produces a youth-oriented news program that is broadcast to many junior high and high schools in the United States. Cooper then entered Myanmar on his own with his forged press pass and met with students fighting the Burmese government. He was ultimately able to sell his home-made news segments to Channel One.
-After reporting from Burma, Cooper lived in Vietnam for a year to study the Vietnamese language at the University of Hanoi. Persuading Channel One to allow him to bring a Hi-8 camera with him, Cooper soon began filming and assembling reports of Vietnamese life and culture that aired on Channel One. He later returned to filming stories from a variety of war-torn regions around the globe, including Somalia, Bosnia, and Rwanda.
