Not Real News: A look at what didn't happen this week. ASSOCIATED PRESS.



A roundup of some of the most popular but completely untrue stories and visuals of the week. None of these are legit, even though they were shared widely on social media.

Voluntary removal of popular cold-and-cough medications from store shelves fuels conspiracy theories.

No, the video doesn’t show a Palestinian ‘crisis actor’ admitting to his mother his injuries are fake.

NATO has not urged Ukraine to surrender, despite what social media posts claim.

The Associated Press checked them out. Here are the facts: https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-misinformation-27fd16a605dd2d2ef78b7ee1d6afcc36

THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION- SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG. PART 6.

 Presidential Election, Usa, Politics 

(BELOW REPRINTED FROM PART 5.)

THE REPUBLICAN TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES FROM 2012-2016 INCREASED +2,046,375.

MORE THAN HALF OF THAT INCREASE CAME FROM ONLY 4 STATES.

CARE TO GUESS WHICH ONES?

MICHIGAN. +164,287.

PENNSYLVANIA.  +290,299.

OHIO.  +179,568.

FLORIDA.  +454,439.

TOTAL: 1,088,593.
***************************************************************************************************************

To help put this in proper perspective, consider the following:

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY INCREASED THEIR NATIONAL VOTE COUNT BY +2,046,375. 
(2012- 2016).

THE ABOVE 4 STATES ACCOUNT FOR +1,088,593 OF THIS INCREASE.(53.2%)

THAT MEANS THAT THE REMAINING 46 STATES WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR 
THE OTHER 957,782 VOTES. (46.8%).

MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, OHIO, FLORIDA had a combined increase in REPUBLICAN
VOTES SO LARGE, THAT IT SURPASSED ALL OTHER STATES ADDED TOGETHER.

However, sometimes huge gains in number of votes weren't ENOUGH TO CLINCH A VICTORY. THAT, AND THE POSSIBILITY THAT SOMEONE MIGHT REALIZE THAT RUSSIAS HACKING, AND RELEASE OF DATA DETRIMENTAL TO HILLARY CLINTON, COULD NEVER BE QUANTIFIED INTO HOW MANY VOTES WOULD BE EITHER GAINED OR LOST. THIS MAY HAVE LED TO POSSIBLE VARIATIONS IN HOW THE FINAL VOTE COUNT COULD BE MANIPULATED.

(Which leads to the following: WHY IS THERE AN ASSUMPTION THAT RUSSIA, AND ONLY RUSSIA, COULD BE GUILTY OF TAMPERING WITH THE ELECTION RESULTS? THE RUSSIANS HACKING INTO COMPUTER FILES TO GATHER INFORMATION TO BE USED AGAINST HILLARY CLINTON IS A SEPARATE ISSUE FROM INTENTIONALLY ALTERING BALLOT COUNTS).

FOR THIS EXAMPLE, LET US BRING ANOTHER ONE OF THE 6 STATES THAT CHANGED SUPPORT FROM DEMOCRAT TO REPUBLICAN FOR THE 2016 ELECTION.

WISCONSIN.

In 2016 Wisconsin the REPUBLICAN PARTY WON THE STATE BY A VOTE OF:
1,405,284- 1,382,586. Another narrow victory.

Oddly enough, they did this while accumulating LESS VOTES THAN IT HAD IN 2012.
THE REDUCTION WAS ONLY -2682, BUT IT WAS A REDUCTION. I GUESS
WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS SAW NO GREAT NEED TO TURN OUT THE VOTE.

Well, they were right. THE DEMOCRATS, WHO HAD BEATEN THE REPUBLICANS
BY ABOUT 7% OF THE VOTE IN 2012, LOST NEARLY A QUARTER OF A MILLION
VOTES IN 2016. (-238,449.).

INTERESTING.

"A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS." WITH DONALD TRUMP, IT COULD BE WORTH THE FATE OF FREE PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. (UPDATE)

 When I first published this post, the gesture used by Trump reminded me of something from the history books. Well, further research has revealed the following:

The ADL, (ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE), LISTS THE SAME GESTURE AS THE "ARYAN FIST."  IT IS A WHITE SUPREMACIST SYMBOL USED TODAY.


So, is the Gesture used for Communist/Fascist Symbolism, White Supremacist Symbolism, or perhaps both? 

I'll take Door #3.

Below is the original post.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

These are just a few examples, but they represent a common gesture that Trump uses in public appearances. I kept asking myself: Where have I seen this before?

                                                                           CNBC
Julia Nikhinson/AP
                                                                  THE GUARDIAN.
                                                                  MOTHER JONES.

Here is what I found.





To make a long story short, I went to PIXABAY.COM and typed in the following Category:

COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA IMAGES.

There you have it. I assume this could be of value to those who can still think for themselves.

A SHORT DESCRIPTION OF CHRISTIAN FASCISM. PART 3.

 

The Battle plan of the CHRISTIAN FASCIST is relatively simple:

- Try to justify your position(s) by Ignoring or Misstating what is written in the 

U.S. CONSTITUTION, and make sure that any Judges appointed will do the same,

while at the same time tossing out Legal Precedent that doesn't promote their Fascist

Views of the Role that Religion should take in forming Public Policy/Law.

How is this done? 

Before we analyze what is written in the Document, let us consider the following:

- Jesus

- Christ, Christian, or Christianity.

- Disciples.

- Bible.

- Testamnent- Old or New.

- Pray or Prayer.

- Messiah.

- Sin.

- Heaven or Hell

Are Names, Words, and Terms NEVER MENTIONED ANYWHERE

IN THE CONSTITUTION. In fact, there is no way to ascertain what forms, if any,

of Religious Faith(s) the Founding Fathers adhered to by reading the Text contained

in the Final Draft of the Document that set Legal Guidelines for the foundation of the 

new Republic.

So I guess forming a Government based on a narrow set of Self-Centered Rules of Faith 

that are established by Majority Rule is best served by not writing or including them in 

a set of Legal Principles to guide the Judiciary or Future Lawmakers.

MAKES A LOT OF SENSE, DOESN'T IT?
