EMMANUEL MACRON, PRESIDENT OF FRANCE, SAYS FACEBOOK AND GOOGLE ARE BECOMING TOO BIG.
BOVINE BEAUTY DAVID HOGG IMMEDIATELY CALLED ON ALL ADVERTISERS TO BOYCOTT FRANCE WHILE FORMER ACTRESS ALYSSA MILANO TWEETED, "DAMN RUSSIANS!"
FROM THE TCI WIRE:
From Gary, let's go to another whore of Babylon, Jane Arraf (NPR at this moment):
In 2014, tens of thousands of members of the Yazidi religious minority, facing genocide from ISIS, escaped to the mountain from the town of Sinjar and surrounding villages in northern Iraq.
The United States said it entered the war against ISIS partly to protect Yazidis trapped on the mountain with no food and water.
Four years later, several thousand of them remain there. Destitute and living in tents, they are still too afraid to come down.
True Barack story, in late 2015 as the Yazidis were still refusing attempts to 'rescue' them by getting them off the mountain, then-President Barack Obama wondered "what the f**k do they want?" A very good question. But not one that should have surprised him or anyone else.
In real time, in 2014, with this situation, we were quite clear. We said don't send in US troops. We said do air drops of packages so that they didn't starve.
That's what should have been done.
The US forces and the Kurds both provided every opportunity for the Yazidis to get off Mount Sinjar. Not for one day, not for one week, not for one month, not even for one year. Over and over they provided that opportunity. The Yazdis wouldn't -- and still won't -- leave.
"I'm trapped! I'm trapped! Rescue me!"
Save yourself.
Seriously.
Are you a kitten caught in a tree?
I am not a pretty girl
That is not what I do
I ain't no damsel in distress
And I don't need to be rescued, so
That is not what I do
I ain't no damsel in distress
And I don't need to be rescued, so
So put me down, punk
Wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair?
Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere?
[. . .]Wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair?
Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere?
And what if there are no damsels in distress?
What if I knew that, and I called your bluff?
Don't you think every kitten
Figures out how to get down
Whether or not you ever show up?
The Yazidis don't figure it out because they don't want anything but to start more wars. I don't know if that has to do with their worship or what.
But they have certainly been vocal about how the Kurds abandoned them! Left them on Mt. Sinjar! They are trapped!
No, you had you chances to come down but you refused to. That's on you. And everyone knows the Yazidis will use the same sentences to gripe about the US just as soon as they figure they've drained the US out of all the sympathy they can get.
The Yazidis are victims of their own making.
