D'Souza's Sad, Pathetic Wingnut Desperation To Tear Down President Obama (crooksandliars)
On my weekly segment on the Nicole Sandler Show, Nicole jokes that I watch the Sunday shows so her listeners don't have to. One of our C&L regulars, Mugsy, watches them too and is a very visible presence on Sundays. He also took upon himself the unenviable task to watch wingnut toadie Dinesh D'Souza's cinematic claptrap "2016" so you don't have to. Mugsy methodically broke down all the manipulations, gross deceptions, and blatant lies. And there are so many.... > **T**he film starts out with D’Souza talking about himself and how different his life was growing up in his native India yet how differently he views the world today despite that. Then he proceeds to talk for the next 90 minutes about how life in Kenya… a country **D’Souza admits** Obama never lived in… must have shaped Obama’s attitudes about America. I find myself wondering, how is it that _D’Souza_ can imagine himself to be so radically different despite having been raised in India (a former British colony), but President Obama’s entire world view is the product of a culture in which _HE_ had never lived? Just one of the major inconsistencies in “Obama: 2016″. Oh ...Share With Friends: | '"Falkland Islands"' News, News Feeds and News via Feedzilla.

The Falklands of Asia (redstate)
It was 1982, Leopoldo Galtieri was doing a horrendous job of running Argentina
and hungry, disappointed people had begun to complain about it. Galtieri
decided to initiate a war with Great Britain over the Falkland Islands to
Rodeo-Clown the attention of the Argentinean public away from his own
inability to govern. Onwar.com describes Galtieri’s motivations for adding to
the sum total of human misery below.
> In early 1982 the Argentine military junta led by Lieutenant General
Leopoldo Galtieri gave up on long-running negotiations with Britain and
instead launched an invasion of the islands. The decision to invade was
chiefly political: the junta, which was being criticized for economic
mismanagement and human rights abuses, believed that the "recovery" of the
islands would unite Argentines behind the government in a patriotic fervour.
The plan, and Argentinean public opinion, both blew up in Galtieri’s face. He
lost his war, was driven from power, and is remembered more for his appearance
in the lyrics of an obscure Pink Floyd Song than for his impact on human
history. However, that hasn’t stopped others from following in his benighted
footsteps. As Redstate Front Page Contributor, Jeff Emanuel recently wrote,
China and Japan ...Share With Friends: | '"Falkland Islands"' Stories, News Feeds and News via Feedzilla.

The Ecuador/UK Standoff Over Asylum for Julian Assange (Latest Updates) (Firedoglake)
WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange was granted diplomatic asylum by
Ecuador yesterday. In the hours preceding the announced decision, the British
government issued a letter that contained a threat against the Ecuador embassy
in London, where Assange has been holed-up for nearly two months. The
government indicated it might be willing to invoke a law and revoke the
diplomatic immunity of the embassy so it could enter the premise and arrest
Assange. The UK has denied that it made any sort of threat. But, today, the
Organization of American States (OAS) met and voted on a resolution to convene
the Foreign Ministers of all OAS member countries to respond to this threat in
manner that defended the "inviolability" of diplomatic premises.
