Two Clintons -41 years - $3 Billion

https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/clinton-money/??noredirect=on

A Washington Post investigation reveals how Bill and Hillary Clinton have methodically cultivated donors over 40 years, from Little Rock to Washington and then across the globe. Their fundraising methods have created a new blueprint for politicians and their donors.

The Clintons have raised $3 billion in support of their political and philanthropic efforts over four decades. Nearly all the funds went to support six federal campaigns and their family foundation.

By Matea Gold, Tom Hamburger and Anu Narayanswamy - Published on Nov. 19, 2015

LITTLE ROCK — Over four decades of public life, Bill and Hillary Clinton have built an unrivaled global network of donors while pioneering fundraising techniques that have transformed modern politics and paved the way for them to potentially become the first husband and wife to win the White House.
The grand total raised for all of their political campaigns and their family’s charitable foundation reaches at least $3 billion, according to a Washington Post investigation.
Their fundraising haul, which began with $178,000 that Bill Clinton raised for his long-shot 1974 congressional bid, is on track to expand substantially with Hillary Clinton’s 2016 White House run, which has already drawn $110 million in support.

The Post identified donations from roughly 336,000 individuals, corporations, unions and foreign governments in support of their political or philanthropic endeavors — a list that includes top patrons such as Steven Spielberg and George Soros, as well as lesser-known backers who have given smaller amounts dozens of times. Not included in the count are an untold number of small donors whose names are not identified in campaign finance reports but together have given millions to the Clintons over the years.

The majority of the money — $2 billion — has gone to the Clinton Foundation, one of the world’s fastest-growing charities, which supports health, education and economic development initiatives around the globe. A handful of elite givers have contributed more than $25 million to the foundation, including Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra,who is among the wealthy foreign donors who have given tens of millions.
Separately, donors have given $1 billion to support the Clintons’ political races and legal defense fund, making capped contributions to their campaigns and writing six-figure checks to the Democratic National Committee and allied super PACs.
The Post investigation found that many top Clinton patrons supported them in multiple ways, helping finance their political causes, their legal needs, their philanthropy and their personal bank accounts. In some cases, companies connected to their donors hired the Clintons as paid speakers, helping them collect more than $150 million on the lecture circuit in the past 15 years.

The couple’s biggest individual political benefactors are Univision chairman Haim Saban and his wife, Cheryl, who have made 39 contributions totaling $2.4 million to support the Clintons’ races since 1992. The Sabans have also donated at least $10 million to the foundation.
The Clintons kept big contributors in their orbit for decades by methodically wooing competing interest groups — toggling between their liberal base and powerful constituencies, according to donors, friends and aides who have known the couple since their Arkansas days.
They made historic inroads on Wall Street, pulling in at least $69 million in political contributions from the employees and PACs of banks, insurance companies, and securities and investment firms. Wealthy hedge fund managers S. Donald Sussman and David E. Shaware among their top campaign supporters, having given more than $1 million each.
The Clintons’ ties to the financial sector strained their bonds with the left, particularly organized labor. But unions repeatedly shook off their disappointment, giving at least $21 million to support their races. The public employees union AFSCME has been their top labor backer, giving nearly $1.7 million for their campaigns.
The Clintons’ fundraising operation — $3 billion amassed by one couple, working in tandem for more than four decades — has no equal.
By comparison, three generations of the Bush family, America’s other contemporaneous political dynasty, have raised about $2.4 billion for their state and federal campaigns and half a dozen charitable foundations, according to a Post tally of their fundraising from 1988 through 2015 — even though the family has collectively held the presidency longer than the Clintons.

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."..".. Wikipedia is meant to function with unpaid volunteers who become create and edit Wikipedia web pages about different subjects and  people ...over the years the editor user base built up to a peak of around 100,000 volunteer unpaid editors in around 2007 and then gradually started to decline ... the  volunteer unpaid editors would then create a Wikipedia Web Page and all put their input into editing a Wikipedia Web Page until there was a general  consensus   reality as to what the facts of the person or subject matter was on the particular topic of the Wikipedia Web Page was ... then as these things start to calcify ... the hierarchy of Wikipedia takes place and control ... so now Wikipedia is not completely egalitarian ... there are administrators ...a sort of Wikipedia Supreme Court ... the Arbitration committee which  obviously ends up with various factions vying for power ...by 2007 Wikipedia become the Utopia of Rules ...to use a phrase...".. 

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges..." ... Wikipedia say they have around 100,000 volunteer editors ...congressmen ... business people become extremely concerned about what is on their Wikipedia page…”

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges..." A report on Wikipedia stated stated that editors found hundreds of what you call "Sock Puppets"  linked to one company... Wiki PR which explained that it employed not only of the garden variety by also professional administrative editors capable of deleting and freezing pages  .. Wiki PR claimed over 12,000 clients from household names Viocom to Priceline to minor firms .. whose pages were repeatedly deleted for not meeting Wikipedia's notability standards ... "

Sock Puppets

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.... " Sock Puppets are basically fake accounts that are all run by one person but pretend to be multiple people ... in Wikipedia if there is a disagreement you want to have other people to come in and take your side ... because in that way there is some sort of democratic element to it... but the Wiki Pr Scandal was because they were openly advertising there services on this website and finally it emerged that they were advertising on their website but they were not advertising who they were on Wikipedia ...so ... the fact that they had corralled admin people in Wikipedia to help them edit and delete websites ... the admin people in Wikipedia are meant to be more trust worthy ... these business es are concerned because when you Google their business name and their Wikipedia entry turns up and nobody wants to look bad.. "

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges..... "you were right about the USA Government interfered  in Wikipedia ...  a tracing program called Wiki Scanner discovered that computers at CIA headquarters did edits to entries on the US invasion of Iraq and the biographies on the former CIA Head William Colby and former US Presidents Ronald Regan and Richard Nixon .. also an FBI computer was also used the edit the Wikipedia page on Guantanamo Bay  Detention Facility....  e-voting machine-vendor Diebold deleted 15 paragraphs from a Wikipedia article on e-voting machine-vendor Diebold, excising an entire section critical of the company's machines....  while the Vatican and the British Labour Party were also prolific in editing Wikipedia pages ... since the intelligence agencies have had to try and  camouflage  their edits or outsource their edits or outsource them to third parties"...
 
Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.." it was pretty easy to do that ...just get some guy to front for them ... they were being so obvious about it.. well as its  anonymous   ... anyone can do it... lets just edit from our work computer .... that's like really bad upset  …”

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges..... "... so you have a huge network of entities outside Wikipedia ... constantly revising and editing Wikipedia and one of the things that you point out in your article is that often the prime target of these edits are those critical of capitalism, imperialism, such as George Galloway ...and there have been all sorts of fake entities as somebody presenting themselves as Philip Cross who made 14 edits to my own Wikipedia page ... but goes after figures such as George Galloway and Jeremy Corbyn ... if it is a single person ... who knows... made hundreds of thousands of edits ... 130,000 edits to more than 30,000 pages and all of them ... are about defaming critics ... "

George Galloway is a British politician, broadcaster and writer. Between 1987 and 2015, with a gap in 2010–12, he represented four constituencies as a Member of Parliament, elected as a candidate for the Labour Party and later the Respect Party. 

Jeremy Bernard Corbyn is a British politician serving as Leader of the Labour Party and Leader of the Opposition since 2015. Corbyn was first elected Member of Parliament for Islington North in 1983. Ideologically, he identifies himself as a democratic socialist. 

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.." ... this is one of these obsessive types ... he will make a tiny little change and if it is left alone he will  edit it a little bit more ... this is obviously the sign on an extremely obsessive person ...or a team that is working in concern ... I mean .... if you look at the amount of time editing .. it is the equivalent of a full time job and then some ... so I find it difficult to believe it is a single person ... but there is definitely a political double standard ..I mean people like Philip Cross are allowed to go after the left wing... the progressives ... the anti capitalists ...anti imperialists ..."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. "... so as you point out while they are defaming those figures ... there's very clear intent ... on he part of the managers of Wikipedia to prop up other figures such as Hillary Clinton ... "

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.." ... yes Hillary Clinton was the beneficiary of the most obvious  Wikipedia PR Campaign that was coming straight from the top .. they hired the Clinton Foundation's PR Firm .. the Manasion Group ... yeh ... Wiki Media the non profit arm of the Wikipedia ... they made around $75 million last year on revenue .. in the form of donations .. it used to be donations form users ,.. now its donations from users and large corporations and governments ... like the government of Kasistan ... they'll take money form anybody ... you pay the money and you get the right desired coverage ... its no surprise if you look at the list of companies that have donated to Wikipedia ..they have pretty nice Wikipedia pages .. you are not going to find any Philip Cross us there mucking up their nice material up on their Wikipedia Pages .."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. "... what about the Hilary Clinton page compared with the Donald Trump page..."

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."...  well if you look at the Hillary Clinton Wikipedia Page compared to the Donald Trump Wikipedia Page .. there will be all sorts of unsighted and unsourced allegations against Donald Trump that he said something racist about this and that ... yo will see a whole page devoted to the Russiangate Conspiracy .... whereas with Hillary Clinton... her Wikipedia Page is so sanitised ... i think its much shorter ..."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. "... you as an outsider cannot make any changes..."

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."...  yes it is protected ... there are varying levels it is protected .. ... otherwise there would be users coming into regularly trying to set the record straight and  edit the Hillary Clinton Wikipedia Page ... there was definitely a user who regularly came in and changed any edits made on the Hillary Clinton Wikipedia Page .. such as edits stating that the Clinton Foundation had taken off with a lot of money from Haiti ... non of these edits were allowed to remain  on Wikipedia during election season ... nothing negative such as the emails scandal surrounding Hillary Clinton .... was allowed to remain during election season ... I don't know the full level of protection .... there seems to be varying levels of protection .... there are protected pages and ever more highly protected pages .. there is no doubt that Hillary Clinton has definitely got Secret Service Protection of her Wikipedia Page ..."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... "..The New York Police Department white wash dozens of Wikipedia entries in March 2015 when Wiki Scanner Technology linked hundreds of edits to computers at the NYPD... what were they doing?..."

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."...    oh they were all covering up all sorts of NYPD scandals ... of which there are many ..."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... " .... including the death of Eric Garner .. the Satan Island man that was cocked to death.."

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."...  yeh ... for supposedly selling untaxed cigarettes ... he wasn't even selling untaxed cigarettes ...which was left out of most accounts of the story ... that they they tried to make out other victims of the NYPD were much more threatening than they are ... "

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... "... Sean Bell ..."

Sean Bell was shot in the New York City borough of Queens, New York, United States, on November 25, 2006

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."...  yeh... they tried to remove the entry on Shawn Bell.. .. Paul Cello .. he's not notable ... it has to be noteable if is going to be in Wikipedia ...I think a guy leaving his bachelor party riddled with 50 bullets if pretty notable .. but ... I don;t know ... I'm not the NYPD .... they modified the entry to make it sound like a much more reasonable procedure than it really was ... the other ones are allowed ti make the changes until somebody catches them ... then there is a big scandal.."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges ... "... look at Jeremy Corbin... describe Jeremy Corbin's  and the Labour Party ..."

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."..  this is one of the insidious ones ... it is not like they are outright lying about the guy ... but there is a question of the undue weight they give to different materials..... part is about his political party and his political achievements ..ans then the bottom half is all the allegations of his comments of anti-semitism and the labour party .. it just like making this guy out to be Adolf Hitler .... you know ... you guys need to write about something else .... "

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... " from you conclusion Wikipedia is pretty amicable to these kinds of changes... "

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."...  oh yeh ... there is definitely a double standard ...   as you said ... they go after the anti capitalists ... the anti imperialist ones... 

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges ... "... I want to talk about Wales ... the head of Wikipedia .. tell me a little bit about him.."

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."..   well Jimmy Wales got his start on the Internet running a Porn Search Engine...Bomis or Bommis? .. I'm not sure how to pronounce  it .. then there was this side project of an encyclopedia  .. but it was too expensive and took too long to create the information to put onto the website... as it was not making any money .. then they came up with the idea of outsourcing the edits... but then he realised that he could not run adds on it and thus did not want to work for him ...if he was going to put adds on there which was meant to be an depository of knowledge ...he quickly turned Wikipedia into a non profit ... and since found a way to cash in that way ...."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges ... ".. well the people writing the pages .... number one they are anonymous ...  number two ... they often have no background of the subjects they are writing about ... "

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski "..   there is actually an antipathy against experts ... which is one of the reasons why the two co-founders split ... Jimmy Wales tried to white wash the other co-founder out of history ..this guy Larry Sanger who ... Wikipedia really was his pet project ... who didn't like the whole anti-elitism of the thing ... he said the trolls came in and took over and this is what the story of Wikipedia has been ever since ...the trolls came in and took over ... so its like ..."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges .... " .. you quote ... is it ..'Kings Indian'..the user name  ... this person writes ... 'would anyone accept a newsroom where anonymous contributions with undisclosed conflicts of interest argue about things? Where expertise is irrelevant? Where contributors' work is unpaid? There is no editor or copy editor, and no one takes responsibility for the final product?'  ....   "

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."..  and that's what you've got with Wikipedia ...  it's treated with this sacred information source .. Google uses it as a fact check .. so does YouTube and ... FaceBook was going to use it for a while and know their using snopes.com (The definitive Internet reference source for urban legends, folklore, myths, rumors, and misinformation) ... which is just as bad ... yeh its the first thing you see when you Google you're name ... if you're a notable person .. if you Google a company ... or you Google anything ...so ... Wikipedia are the Sacred arbiter of knowledge ... its terrifying when you look at who's doing the editing ... "

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... " you argue that those who have close personal relationships with Jimmy Wales ... such as Tony Blair ... or one can assume Hillary Clinton ... from her Wikipedia Page ... are edited in such a way to take out anything that is remotely negative against them .... talk about Tony Blair for instance ... I didn't know this but Tony Blair's financial wealth is 37 homes, ten houses an 27 flats ... worth £27 million pound plus millions of pounds distributed through a network  ... I don't know this ... I suppose that is what you get for selling out the Labour Party ... and shoving the Iraq War down our throat ... working as public relations on behalf of dictators in Kuwait ... in Egypt and everywhere else ..."

 Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."..   yep .. and Jimmy Wales doesn't really want anybody to know about that ... so Jimmy Wales will through temper tantrums if someone mentions that when the Kazakhstan Scandal broke that Wikipedia had ..."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... "... please explain as this is a kind of window of how it works... "

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."... also Wiki Media ... the non profit arm of Wikipedia was funding someone affiliated with the government  of  Kazakhstan   to basically to basically beef up and expand the  Kazakhstan   the Wikipedia page ... because they have Wikipedia for most of the world's languages at this point .. and they tried to make out that this was an independent Wikipedia Organisation in  Kazakhstan   ... when the guy used to work for the  State TV Station ... the guy that runs  Kazakhstan   Wikipedia ... Wiki- Billiom ... I believe its called ... and its funded by the Kazakhstan Sovereign Wealth Fund ... so this guy is so tied in with the dictators of Kasistan ...its not even funny ... but Jimmy Wales goes ... 'no its independent ... I have nothing to do with  Kazakhstan   ... this is an outrage ... and of course this was the same time that Tony Blair was consulting .. made  $13 million dollars consulting PR for  Kazakhstan   and so its very incestuous ... and the fact that Jimmy Wales tries to pretend that this is not in any way objectionable morally is hard to swallow .."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... " ... what do the pages look like? ..."
 .. investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."... its basically the official line of everything from the Government of  Kazakhstan and they basically took entries from the Kazakhstan  State Encyclopaedia  and put them into Wikipedia ... well why would you want people to write their own? ....."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... " in 2011 ... this was the year that Wikipedia's founder was named Wikipedian of the Year ... being the same year 14 police massacred 14 protesters during an Oil Field Strike that turned into a riot ... and the government declares a state of emergency and restricts access to journalists ...."

 Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."...   yep... so the only information you are going to get out of Kazakhstan is by reading the Wikipedia page on Kazakhstan ... something tells me that this massace wasn't going to be on the Kazakhstan Wikipedia page ... "

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... " ...what has this done to our system of information ... I'm surprised as somebody who has watched ... i do not go onto my Wikipedia site too much ... but when I go on there ... there are always trolls that have written in garbage ... often falsehoods ... or an you say ... it maybe nominally sourced falsehoods ...what is this doing to our system of information...?.."

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski  ..." well its just ...its the fact that people take this as value is really degrading the meaning of the concept of truth ... for one thing ... because it has become this  consensus   thing ... where anybody who has an axe to grind and get in there and ruin somebody's reputation .. and sometimes you try to fix that  lie they have told about you and it is impossible and you can't get your page taken down ... they pride themselves in not taking people's pages down ... "

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... " also it is about which publications they consider credible and those which they don't...

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."...  that too ...."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... " ... so Mother Jones of the Nation are not considered credible sources ... basically any source outside of the mainstream ... "

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."..  so any alternative media are not allowed ... so..." 

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... " ... what about Fox News?.."

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."..   Fox News was only made 10 years ago  which is primarily  an advertising network... and now its pretending to be respectable...but this is now considered to be mainstream media  ...so..."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... " ... how effective do you think its been in terms of altering public perception .."

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."..   I unfortunately think its been quite effective ... because if somebody isn't very well versed in this topic ... like say progressive and leftist politics ... and they go to Google somebody's name ...or they look them up on Wikipedia ... and that is what they will see .. and they don't really know ... because they are only interested in these things on a surface level ... they don't know to question .. I mean .."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... "... they also don't know the biases of the people editing the Wikipededia Page .... because they are anonymous ... we don't know who they are .... "

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."... you can see there is a page for edit history where you can at least see the editor's username and you can at least see the editor/user's other edits are but ... most people do not have time or the inclination to do that  ... there are obviously some ideology motivated actors ...  which only just work on a certain thing... which is supposed to be against the rules ... but one again the rules only apply to some people ... "

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... " you say there is not way to tell whether the editor is an editor or malicious actor ... in 2007 a prolific Wikipedia editor who claimed to be a graduate professor with degrees in theology and in Canon Law ... is revealed to be a 24 year old college drop out ... Ryan Jordan who contributed 16,000 Wikipedia  entries during his time on the site rose to become a member of the Wikipedia Arbitration Committee ... Wikipedia's Supreme Court before he was unmasked .... it is a simple matter for powerful groups like pharmaceutical Industry and the CIA to infiltrate Wikipedia and liable their enemies ... people like Gary Null, John Pilger ... Seymour Hersh and Glen Greenwald who have a history of shinning the spotlight on the corruption and criminality of our institutions ... how better to silence them than to assassinate their Character ..."

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."...  yep .. just try and get your page taken down ..  there's a function so you can have an alert set ..so that even if they do succeed in sending in other editors to change their pages or try to remove their pages to eradicate the libels against them on Wikipedia .. they can just have their Ruling Class representatives come right back in and change it back .. so its a losing game until it becomes much more obvious to the world at large that Wikipedia is a website that should have any credibility at all ... then ... I mean ... it would be one thing if Wikipedia was just considered to be a bias source ... like sort of a trash rag ... like the bathroom wall .... I like to call it ... but Wikipedia is not ... Wikipedia is considered the holy oracle of truth, and its really anything but ... "

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... " ... well ... as many writers will tell you ... I do events where people get up and read to my horror... will just get up as an introduction and read a section of my Wikipedia Page ... "

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."... .. its intellectual laziness basically ... well you don't want to dig to find the real information so you just go to this sort of feeding trowel of lazy trolls ... and dreg up what you get there and then I mean..."

RT America’s Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Chris Hedges.. ... " ... well its part of the whole salt on scholarship ... on research ... on verifiable fact ... its just one more mechanism by which ... public discourse is contaminated ..."

Investigative journalist Helen Buyniski.."..  very much so ...  there's the whole thing about if  you're not paying for something in the Internet ... then your the product ... so this just creates this replicable sort of brainwashed entity ... its not even brainwash .. there is not even that much work that goes into it ... but its just like empty ... your need for a higher level of knowledge is not there ..."

Helen of Destroy: Published on Apr 15, 2019

Talking with INN World Report's Tom Kiely about the future (or lack thereof) of the free internet post-Article 13, the ignominious demise of Russiagate, the weaponization of climate change, & the perils of attempting to defy the Second Law of Thermodynamics. (go to www.helenofdestroy.com for more)

PRISM has been largely forgotten in the wake of more recent NSA/CIA scandals

PRISM has been largely forgotten in the wake of more recent NSA/CIA scandals, but at the time of its exposure, Facebook and Google were in the process of creating secure portals to allow the NSA to more easily access their data, and it’s absurd to think they halted that project because of a silly leak. The Snowden revelations managed to change precisely nothing about how Americans interact with the security state, except to erode the expectation of privacy we once had. A browser plugin, back doored to the NSA, tracking one’s un-American activities, is the setup for the worst kind of Minority-Report-esque pre-crime detention. And thanks to the same National Defense Authorization Act that allowed the Pentagon to turn its venerable propaganda apparatus on American citizens, the security state can detain us indefinitely without a warrant should the mood strike - even mow us down like dogs in our homes if it doesn’t like our web history.
NewsGuard itself is supposedly staffed by “real journalists” as opposed to the algorithm that protects us from conspiracy theories on YouTube, and it has already been exposed as hopelessly corrupt. Those in the mainstream media who’ve heard of NewsGuard were perplexed by its rating of Fox News as “trustworthy,” believing a right-leaning network could not possibly rate the coveted green checkmark. All was made clear when Fox broadcast a puff piece hailing NewsGuard as the “killer app” that would save journalism - a clip NewsGuard immediately added to the list of "endorsements" on their website. You scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours.
This corruption became even clearer when NewsGuard was persuaded to change its “untrustworthy” rating of the Daily Mail, the British tabloid which was also the first mainstream news source to be declared untrustworthy by just a handful of editors on Wikipedia. The Mail, for all its flaws - and there are many - has more traffic than any other online news outlet (not counting aggregators like Drudge). When an anonymous Mail editor wrote a polite point by point refutation and sent it to NewsGuard, their rating was changed to green, ensuring the Mail would not publish a scathing attack on the noble censor - which could have smothered it in its cradle - while also making the plugin look eminently reasonable (see, they do change their ratings if they’re wrong!). Everybody wins! MintPress, of course, tried the same thing months ago, only to be ignored and vilified.
Breitbart, miffed after being slighted by the NewsGuard team despite their diligent cheerleading for every neocon regime-change operation, compiled a telling list of proven hoaxes the extension has approved. More than anything else, the list highlights the obvious perils of a blacklist - scare stories like the Washington Post’s infamous “Russia hacked Vermont utilities” are never properly retracted because they’re designed to percolate in the reader’s subconscious so the next time they read about Russian malfeasance they’re more favorably inclined toward the idea. Facts are stupid things that merely get in the way of a good narrative. In the same way, a story published on Breitbart or RT - even if it came from ur-Reliable Source the Associated Press - gets the scarlet shield of shame through guilt by association. NewsGuard is laughably, irredeemably flawed, and no intelligent person would ever download it.

Karl Marx HD

DarthMarston

Published on Jan 30, 2016

Stephanie Flanders examines one of the most revolutionary and controversial thinkers of all.

Karl Marx's ideas left an indelible stamp on the lives of billions of people and the world we live in today.

As the global financial crisis continues on its destructive path, some are starting to wonder if he was right.

Marx argued that capitalism is inherently unfair and therefore doomed to collapse, so it should be got rid of altogether.

Today as the gap between rich and poor continues to cause tension, his ideas are once again being taken seriously at the heart of global business. Stephanie travels from Marx's birthplace to a former communist regime detention centre in Berlin and separates his economic analysis from what was carried out in his name.

She asks what answers does Marx provide to the mess we are all in today.

Can money and power ever make us happy? How much is enough?

 Our constant desire for more is part of our human nature.

Some call it a useful dowry of evolution, others a fault in the human genetic make-up:

The old mortal sin Greed seems to be more ubiquitous than ever.

Why can't people ever get enough, where is this self-indulgence leading - and are there any ways out of this vicious circle of gratification?

 "People like to have a lot of stuff because it makes them the feeling of living forever,"

says American social psychologist Sheldon Solomon, who believes today's materialism and consumerism will have disastrous consequences.

 "The Greed Program," which has made us crave possessions, status and power, is coming to an end?
