"People would have you believe that to make a change you only need to sign a document or petition. The real cure is to stop offering your signature so freely. Stop signing W-2's and 1040's. Stop signing checks made to 'US Treasury'. If you work for someone else who witholds your income to give to the banking cartel, then grow a spine and free yourself."

Hey, just talked to a friend of mine about this. He had posted a lot about it on his personal Facebook page last night. He just checked his posts, every post he made about OAS had been deleted. All his friends posts on their Facebook pages have been deleted as well. Wtf!?

Its "war correspondent" Graham Phillips' twitter page is an exercise of the theater of the absurd. Geraldo Rivera never looked so professional in comparision.

(3,746 posts)RTs freelance reporter, Graham Phillips, claimed to have been shot at by Ukrainian soldiers as he approached them to engage in dialogue near the town of Kramatorsk. However, the video he was shooting at the time reveals he triggered a tripwire flare.

Tommy_Carcetti
(43,199 posts)The videos are hilarious in a sad, pathetic way, given that a flare looks nothing like a gunshot and yet he insists it was a gunshot. And then the subsequent video of him jogging back from the supposed gunfire incident.
His Twitter feed is quite the spectacle. Half of his tweets are him attempting to pick fights with actual journalists who he feels disrespected him. Their somewhat amused reactions are priceless.

Jefferson23
(30,099 posts)on RT, the dissenters in Russia do not appreciate it, not at all. For one, Russians don't see it
and two, they're lending legitimacy to RT and that makes it even harder for Russians who are
making efforts to push back against their government.
Their voices do not get a shot at it on RT.

(32,102 posts)I couldn't figure out how they had that picture unless it was this afternoon - but there was no labeling on it.
I like to look at English versions of newspapers from all over the world but RT has dropped substantially in my eyes with this "story". I know RT is run out of the Kremlin but I'd like to know who runs the English version.
