CETA

dimanche 16 octobre 2016 à 02:00

Two regions of Belgium have declared that they veto CETA.

Europeans must mobilize to support them against dishonest pressure from banksters.

Sexism

dimanche 16 octobre 2016 à 02:00

In one scientific field, women PhDs get (in general) less enthusiastic recommendations for jobs than men PhDs get.

This doesn't prove that sexism is responsible, but one has to suspect that, given that sexism has been proved on so many other questions.

Nation Health Service

dimanche 16 octobre 2016 à 02:00

The Tories are going to make the National Health Service collapse under the pressures they have imposed for 6 years.

Criticizing the banks

dimanche 16 octobre 2016 à 02:00

A Clinton speechwriter put a line criticizing the banks into a speech for Deutsche Bank, in case it ever got leaked.

I wouldn't call this dishonest -- provided she really said that line in her private speech. However, it doesn't mean that she really will do anything against the will of the banksters.

Trump sexual assault

dimanche 16 octobre 2016 à 02:00

A contestant on The Apprentice describes how she resisted Trump when he grabbed her.

Trump did not say that he could "grope and kiss women without their consent". What he said was that, due to his fame, all women would "let him do it". If that were really true, it would not be "sexual assault". It would be consensual sex.

However, his claim is apparently false. Lots of women are saying that they did not consent at all, and that they fought him off.
