Paul Fussell is dead. This is the stuff he wrote about - the true war, the terrible things that happened to human beings in it, and the truth of that being whitewashed by the propaganda machinery on both sides.

"There was no comfort here. It was like being in a strange and terrible nightmare from which you longed to wake and could not."

An amendment that would legalize the use of propaganda on American audiences is being inserted into the latest defense authorization bill. The bi-partisan amendment is sponsored by Rep. Mark Thornberry from Texas and Rep. Adam Smith from Washington State. (buzzfeed.com)

Сегодня, отвечая на вопросы журналистов, начальник главного управления охраны общественного порядка МВД России Юрий Демидов заявил, что полиция не применяла электрошокеры при разгоне демонстрантов 6 мая на Болотной площади. По словам Демидова, «такие спецсредства даже не выдавались стражам порядка».
Юрий Николаевич, информирую Вас, что электрошокеры не только выдавались, но и применялись. Чему я лично был свидетелем.

The Ministry of Public Security is getting rid of foreign trash right now, arresting foreign scum and protecting innocent Chinese girls from them; but in order to do that, we need to focus on Sanlitun and Wudaokou, and target those who frequent the areas and its event organizers. Foreigners who can't find a job in their home country come to China and get involved in illegal business activities such as human trafficking and espionage; they also like to distribute lies which discredit China to persuade locals to move abroad. A lot of them  look for Chinese women to live with as a disguise to further their espionage efforts. They pretend to be tourists traveling around the country while actually helping Japan and Korea make maps and collect GPS data for military purposes. We need to take action, first kick that crazy foreign journalist from Al Jazeera out of the country and close their Beijing office, and then shut everybody up, all the members of the foreign press who demonize China.
