Owen Jones 15 Dec 2015, "I’m an opinion writer: my opinions appear in the opinion section. But the media is swollen with opinion writers, and in too many cases their work ends up in the news section."
Now, he can say that a billionaire who refuses to unlock an iPhone to aid in the fight against terrorism on American soil, the House Speaker, Elon Musk, and none other than Karl Rove himself are secretly commiserating on an island at a lavish, neocon-hosted conference to stop America from exercising their right to choose the next President!

This year the City of Helsinki is rethinking its approach to citizen participation and bottom-up citizen empowerment. The D-CENT project has impacted the roadmap of current e-participation tools in Helsinki by creating open processes, tools, code, and standards.

In addition to an emphasis on competitive sports, the making of the American voter continues with biased curricula affirming his country can do no wrong. The historical claim that the United States is ‘exceptional’ is newly buttressed by the assertion that it is ‘the indispensable nation’. Politicians warn ominously that “If we don’t ‘step up to the plate’ no one else will”, in a harmless-sounding reference to baseball, where each pitcher in turn steps up to the ‘plate’ marking the spot from which he must throw the ball.
The Panthers' Capitol 'invasion' all came about as a result of an American racial divide that existed 50 years ago and in some measure continues today.

In this essay, journalist Leonid Ragozin argues that calls for “decolonizing” Russia play into the hands of the Kremlin’s anti-Western propaganda by evoking the fear of civil war – the same fear that makes Russians tacitly support Putin’s aggression in Ukraine.
