The Anti-Defamation League has added the Echo symbol --
a series of three brackets placed before and after a Jewish name -- to
its database of hate speech. The symbol has emerged on social media on
sites used by white supremacist and other anti-Semitic groups who aim to
identify and target Jews, particularly journalists, politicians and
celebrities.
The
move by the ADL comes a week after Google’s popular Chrome browser
removed a plug-in that could create the symbol in a single keystroke.
The written symbol seems to have been created after a 2014 podcast
broadcast a literal echo sound when speaking Jewish names.
The story gained public attention following an article by New York Times editor Jonathan Weisman, who then became a target of the symbol. Here & Now's Robin Young talks to ADL CEO (((Jonathan Greenblatt))) about the symbol and its significance.
Charles Ortel discusses the 'charity fraud' of the Clintoon Foundation and the Clintoon Global initiative. He has dug deep into their books and has uncovered illegal filings and a plethora of dodgy 'pay to play' operations that occurred while Hilldog was in office.
Zaid Hamid: "I spent four months in a Saudi political prison"
Zaid Hamid, a
leading Pakistani Defense analyst, journalist and television
commentator, helped prevent Pakistan from joining Saudi Arabia's
quagmire war on Yemen. How? By simply telling the truth: that this war
was a grave mistake on the part of the Saudis and anyone stupid enough
to join them. Then one year ago (June 2015) he traveled to Mecca to
perform Umruh, the lesser pilgrimage...and the Saudi authorities were
waiting for him at the airport. Arrested, locked in a political prison
with no legal process whatsoever, facing the daily possibility of
arbitrary beheading, Zaid survived until, through what can only be
termed a miracle, he was released in October. (Most of the 40,000 or so
political prisoners and "disappeared" people in Saudi Arabia aren't so
lucky.)
In this interview we discuss Zaid's experience in the Saudi dungeon; the
impending fall of the House of Saud; the New World Order's 4th
generation warfare destabilization campaigns against such governments as
Syria, Libya, Iraq, Venezuela, and Pakistan; the NWO's use of ISIS,
al-Qaeda and the so-called "Pakistani Taliban" as proxy mercenary
armies; and much more.
Charles talks more about his mother, gets into some more catastrophism

I met Rabbi
Michael Lerner twice in 2012. The rabbi kindly invited me into his home,
we dined together, I met with members of his congregation and discussed
my thoughts with them. However, I was recently troubled by Rabbi
Lerner's speech at Muhammad Ali’s funeral. Unlike many other peace
loving people I was not impressed at all.

It
takes some balls for a rabbi to stand in front of the American people
and sing 4 bars of Kadish, the Hebrew prayer for the dead. But it takes
more than balls for a rabbi to stand in front of the nation and fib for
eight minutes. Rabbi Michael Lerner has accomplished both.
Nick talks to Frederick Blackburn of Blackbird 9’s Trading Posts about
how to apply game theory principles to how our world is being ruled by a
small cabal and how we can cooperate to counteract the plans of our
opponents and enact our own.
