9. Why does DU give free rein to RW Putin supporters? I don't get it.

If someone started posting FOX news videos, would DU leave them up?

11. They would probably be pulled right away...

But RT does a LOT of America Bad videos, so for some reason, they get to stay... Because American news is all propaganda, donchaknow... RT is not, even though it's Putin's mouthpiece...

Some posters here are bassackwards when it comes to RT. You'll notice that The Daily Mail (a British tabloid) is another one that's posted a lot. But if one were to post from The National Enquirer, it would most likely be removed (or ridiculed), but for some reason The Daily Mail is accepted here... In a few years, I predict we'll start seeing Korean Central News Agency articles and videos posted here as well...

3. Always love maps...A Picture is worth a Thousand Words.......

How long can we taxpayers keep supporting this? We are more extended than Rome...although looking at that map...we kind of followed in footsteps of conglomeration of Ottoman Empire and then back to Roman Empire...with other occupations in between here and there.. But, our Military defintitly has got to feel good about that Map. SUCCESS!

Well that's a bit of an exaggeration. It's not like we are fighting wars in each of the "dots" on the map. We are just "peace keeping presence."

...Military Cancer looks like when laid out on paper. Here's a 48-state continental version:

Here's a photo of similar looking human disease:

We've gotten so used to the constant numbing dull-pains of the military-state, and the loss of our strength constantly being sapped away, having to work three times as hard for less pay and then fall into bed and take pills just to keep it going.

- All the while $1 Trillion dollars is frittered away on bombs, radiation, death, destruction and golf courses for the brass. This is what the Hopi meant by the word ''Koyaannisqatsi.''

6. And that military cancer is spreading to other organs.

Like the police, homeland security, FBI, and will do what cancer does to it's host body.

And BTW, Koyaannisqatsi is a great movie for those that have never seen it.

''All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.'' ~George Orwell

- And I believe that Koyaanisqatsi: Life Out of Balance is a great movie. One that I think should be seen by everyone at least once. As are the companion movies: Powaqqatsi: Life in Transformation (1988) and Naqoyqatsi: Life as War (2002)

But many are afraid to see it...because they know what it means...

And I have seen the trilogy and completely agree.

10. Are you paid to shill for RT? It looks like it from all the "subscribe" and "Like us on FB" links

12. The true face of the paid shills...

The same ones who would call an Obama supporter a paid shill are the one's ACTUALLY doing the shilling. Projection.

I usually try to remove it but, sometimes it comes through on the transfer.

Thanks for pointing out it's there. Will edit to remove. It definitely isn't intentional.
