The first episode of the 4th season of Sherlock depicts events taking place in Tbilisi, Georgia. British embassy in Tbilisi is captured by terrorists. British hostages (the good guys) are saved by special freelancer semi-criminal squad of agents (the only member of the group we've met in previous seasons is British). The terrorists on the other hand, have no names, look like dangerous criminals who enjoy killing and torturing people for fun. Oh, and they speak Russian!!!
To begin with the events occurring in Tbilisi, Georgia, are completely fictitious and absolutely do not represent the reality of Georgia. We don`t speak Russian here! (Some of us can speak it, but it is not a language you are required to know or are forced to speak). The portrayal of Georgia as a Russian-speaking...

Do not submit any leaks or sensitive information to Wikileaks which was taken over by the CIA on October 16th and is now being operated as a honeypot trap to find previous government sources and future whistle blowers.
Likewise do not trust either the Wikileaks nor WhereIsAssange sub reddits at Reddit who have had a massive change of moderators and now block posting of any and all videos from Anonymous, Scott Binsack, InfoWars, and Esoteric Detective and delete/ban users who insist that verifiable proof of life in the form of DNA samples and fingerprints be taken from the Julian Assange body double now in the Ecuadorean embassy in London by an ICIJ onvestigative reporter.
Oh, but you say Julian was seen by his lawyer Ms. Robinson and the Swedish prosecutor last month? Not so. Both...

My name is Mary Hancock. You don’t know me now. In an hour, you’ll have forgotten my name. Thus, I’m not only writing this letter for you. I’m writing it in desperation because silence is killing me. My tenth grade classmates ask me why Donald Trump’s vulgar “locker room banter” offends me so greatly. Otherwise intelligent adults keep telling me that “it’ll be okay” and that “it’s only four years”. However, this isn’t “only four years” and anybody who tells you that is being incredibly naive. The effects of a Trump presidency could be being seen for several decades, even centuries, after this term is over. Thereby, we must unite. Non-political crowd, this is your time. It’s not about stopping Trump anymore. It’s about stopping the dangerous movement that elected him. Let this be another...

Most people will be aware of the comments made by Lena Dunham on her podcast this week. Whilst discussing reproductive rights in America Dunham described her reaction when she was asked if she wanted to take part in a project were women discuss their experience of abortion. Her comments can be seen below:
I sort of jumped. "I haven't had an abortion," I told her. I wanted to make it really clear to her that as much as I was going out and fighting for other women's options, I myself had never had an abortion.
'And I realised then that even I was carrying within myself stigma around this issue. Even I, the woman who cares as much as anybody about a woman's right to choose, felt it was important that people know that I was unblemished in this department,'
'So many people I love - my...

A series of events that took place during past few days inspired me to write this to Mr. Rahul Gandhi. Let's start with your words that you were not being allowed to speak in parliament as you had some information about "PM's personal corruption". You made a rhetoric that if you will speak there will be an 'Earthquake'.
First of all, it's clear to everyone that opposition disrupted parliament throughout winter session, so you mean to say your party members didn't allow you to speak in parliament (probably they know it well that the less you speak the better it is)? You were invited by media to reveal information in press conference but you denied as you wanted to speak in parliament. You kept it secret until winter session was over and even your party members became suspicious whether...

I'm a proud Filipino by blood and by heart. Nevertheless, I'm not the most patriotic person alive to brag about my comment on your insights about the administration. It is not my intention to prove you wrong nor prove myself a well-inclined politics person, if that's how you'd call it.
You asked why we make things complicated despite the fact that the main key to peace would be righteous reasons and silence. Technically, in the world we live in, there will only be black and white. The fine line in between would never be gray. It is a clear distinction of differences. I know that the intention of your letter was to spread awareness that Filipinos should unite to be able to make our country a much better place to live in. That we shouldn't just base our opinions on what the media says...

Okay this is getting to be high school all over again.
The election is over.
Hillary may not have won the Electoral College but won the popular vote with the help of states with large populations.
Trump won the Electoral College but not the popular vote.
The United States is a Republic not a true Democracy because our forefathers thought a true democracy wouldn't represent all the people.
These are the facts.
We have two opposing opinions on how we should be governed and both sides are acting like teenagers that aren't getting their way. We now have adults who should be rational human beings calling those with a different view in life names and other insulting phrases. When did the United States revert back to high school?
Do any of you think it would be fair for...

On October 17th, 2016, the real Julian Assange was removed from the Ecuador Embassy in London and traffic camera photos posted at http://reddit.com/r/whereisassange prove it. The world has seen these CIA kidnappings before. They are called renditions. details provided in below links). At the same time Julian was cut off from the internet and Wikileaks was compromised. Since then, Wikileaks has been operated jointly by the CIA/NSA as part of their Operation Mockingbird project - to be a honeypot trap to identify government leakers and potential whistle blowers. (About Project Mockingbird: http://spartacus-educational.com/JFKmockingbird.htm)
But scrutiny from 1.2 million Twitter accounts and 17,000 redditors at Where is Assange forced them to create the Pamela Anderson ruse and most...

For lack of a better way to write this and so much to say I'm just going to bullet point what I want to say. First I am a 54 year old woman who votes, is aware of what is going on. I was born and raised in Chicago and spent the last 16 years across the street from O'Hare.
Section 1 The Elector job as I see it is to use some of these, and more I assume, guidelines to see who best fits those. These are ones I am always going back to in my arguing.
1. If one possesses at least one of the following criteria they are unfit. He fits all three: Unfit, Demagogue and holds an enormous amount of Conflicts of Interest.
2. You are supposed to elect the most qualified.
3. While I understand this is a daunting decision, I strongly believe that personal feelings, religion and politics should be...

A hero is a great man or woman of distinguished bravery whose lifetime impacted positively on his or her immediate environment,while inspiring hope and positivity on its people.I never quite understood the full demographics of this concept and least of all I didn't expect that a woman will exemplify and bring home this reality as passionately and explicitly as you did.
Women all around the world and men alike have discarded their cloak of low self esteem because of the audacity and impetus you displayed, by challenging the status quo, one that relegates the gender and people of colour to the confines of no importance.Your legacy is one that inspires hope and confidence in the hearts of the low and downtrodden,you may not have returned with a victory from the polls but you have won an...
