    Never been to the site before but found this. I don't know much about Venezuela, though the report seems to be nonsense, but I know quite a bit about Nicaragua, the phony elections, the stacking of the courts, ignoring and changing the Constitution, and the many murders of Nicaraguan people.

    "The US Secretary of State is instructed by the act to submit a report to congressional committees within six months as to whether the Nicaraguan government is complying with a range of US demands including a demand for early elections. The US demand for an early election is outrageous given that Nicaragua’s elected president Daniel Ortega is less than halfway through his constitutional term of office, having won the last presidential election in 2016 with 72 percent of the vote on a turnout of around 65 percent".


    However that may be unusual propaganda for the site.

    We're all hardwired to have an enemy and to hate them. Makes us feel like we are engaging in self defense .

    Oh no I'm not, and you know it! Don't feel the need to apologise though.

    ( . . . none who do so much harm as those obsessed with doing good - and they're usually of a religious persuasion! :roll: )

    You've even capitalized 'Cross' - you religiosos really are something else. It's alright for you, sleeping soundly every night while the person you 'care' so much about is laying awake thinking about their personal isolation and societal exclusion for the rest of their life???

    @Jeannette :blowkiss:

    Capital "C" is correct.
    Not any cross. The Cross and its' weight one has to carry.
    Proper noun, not common noun.



    When the lady is right, she is correct too.

    indeed, more will be needed if women are going to be moved by pleas.

    BTW, a fetus isn't a baby, fer crissake.
    Except when the fetus has serious defects.

    Good question. Certainly, birth defects that would make surviving outside the womb impossible or extremely unlikely, and defects that would leave the child with a lifelong mental age of a toddler. Where to draw the line? I can't say.

    The article is quite positive about Noriega and the completion of his term - except for US involvement which I'd personally like to see - when the truth is the opposite. I've spent more than 25 years in the area, have been to Nicaragua countless times, have had numerous Nicaraguan employees and one Nicaraguan woman is still working for me after 20 years. I know exactly where the protesters were gunned down in Masaya and still have a Nicaraguan friend living there near where i happened. I did more homework when the Chinese were first considering investment in a water/rail line to compete with the Panama Canal but decided against it.

    Trust me on this. The article is left wing crap.

    Another little joke gone nowhere.

    Are any of these birth defects in France related to familial intermarriage?

    They occurred in different areas, so it's doubtful.

    You can't draw the line, it's not up to you.

    Thanks for your idiotic, obnoxious comment. Do you have anything else stupid to add? Maybe a little Russian propaganda?

    You're taking a NYTimes propaganda report against RT as fact. The MSM denigrates opposing viewpoints to maintain control. Why do you think 6 corporations bought up all the major media outlets in the world. It's a brainwashing technique.

    Giving positive spin where some may be it is not deserved
    is not unique to RT!

    Certainly Western Media, Inc. does it well.
    Example, the reason for troop deployments.

    How about the positive spin on the economy under
    Clinton - Bush the second - Obama.
    Those recoveries never trickled down.
    The numbers lie because Job Quality is not considered.
    Like chefs working at McDonald's and the loss of livable wage
    still counts as employment.

    One of those Figures Don't Lie but Liars Can Figure episodes. Bipartisan.
    No I cannot offer references because I only remember the times
    and the people suffering and such was never counted.

    Similar to you remembering the times there.
    I still wonder how much of their hard times were manufactured by :flagus: and the IMO and such - - -

    If we call RT Propaganda
    Than CBS, ABC, NBC, Fox, PBS, BBC do the same.
    So RT uses Propaganda
    The West uses "spin". ;)


    Too Much Western News Media is owned by too few.
    Just like Russia.

    I can understand a fetus not being able to survive, and allowing it to die if there is no hope, but being mentally challenged is another story. As an example there are children that are born healthy and then through some accident or quirk of fate they become mentally stunted. Does the mother have the right to kill them then? If she doesn't, then why doesn't she since they will be an equal burden as a mentally retarded infant?

    No way! Corporations and the free market have our best interests in mind. I vote NO for gov't overreach. If we get some babies without arms so be it. Those kids will grow up to be great soccer players.

    I believe in Russia most news outlets and medias are owned by foreign companies. I remember back a few years when Moscow decided to limit shares in foreign companies down to the same percentage as in the West. Of course the MSM freaked, never mentioning that they had the same restrictions against foreign ownership for decades. Oh well, what else is new.

    I have another thread going about keeping corporation money out of politics. You should chime in.

    Nor did I say it was. I looked for some propaganda and found it, albeit from the left.

    Yes, it's just like Russia. Okay.

    Are you prepared to have society look after a person with the mental age of a one-year-old after you forced a woman to give birth knowing the result? As it is, there are more than a few parents who will disown a child they don't have the resources to manage.
