Madness: Jeff Bezos' Wash Post full on neo-McCarthyite, fearmongering about YouTube's algorithm promoting an informative interview by award-winning journalists Chris Hedges & @AaronJMate because it's on RT.

YT should apparently only promote US propaganda
washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
I'm not exaggerating: Jeff Bezos' Wash Post treats only US corporate media outlets as "verified news sources"

The Post, owned by the richest capitalist on Earth (and Amazon has a big CIA contract), wants YouTube to further repress foreign media and act as a mouthpiece for the US
Jeff Bezos' Washington Post is now strongly implying that "Russians" should not be able to use YouTube the same way as everyone else.

Apparently only Americans can fully use YT.

(Also note how the US corporate media never distinguishes Russian civilians from their government.)

Shameful that @DemocracyNow/@NermeenDN gave a very sympathetic platform to supposed "left-wing" opponent of the Venezuelan gov. Edgardo Lander without disclosing that *he met with US-appointed coup leader Guaidó*.

DN failed to disclose this crucial fact!
democracynow.org/2019/5/2/a_deb…
Here is a photo of the leaders of Venezuela's tiny and irrelevant "leftist" opposition, including Edgardo Lander, having a friendly meeting with US-appointed right-wing coup leader Guaidó.

@DemocracyNow gave a very sympathetic platform to Lander without disclosing this meeting.
@DemocracyNow/@NermeenDN echoed false opposition talking points about Venezuela's elected government. Amy & Nermeen never mentioned the crippling, illegal US sanctions. And Nermeen even echoed Edgardo Lander's absurdly false claim that Guaidó is the "most popular leader." Insane!

Unfortunately @JeremyScahill's claim that @TheIntercept has published "a wide range of voices on" Syria is completely false. 99% of its reporting on Syria has been cartoonishly pro-opposition (sometimes even more so than mainstream corporate media).
An editor of @TheIntercept is a hardcore sectarian who called Shia Muslims "dogs," smears everyone as "Assadists," shared a Salafi rebel propaganda video calling Hezbollah "the party of Satan," cheered at the murder of Qadhafi, & called Chávez a "dictator"
The Intercept collaborates with NED-funded regime-changers at Bellingcat and Qatar's Al Jazeera, and its articles on Syria quote fake "experts" like Charles Lister & fake government-funded opposition "NGOs" like SNHR, while its Twitter account retweets neocons like Michael Weiss.

.@Amnesty has blatant double standards: The leading "human rights org" has not said a word about the re-imprisonment of Chelsea Manning, who is being held in solitary confinement (torture), but it is exaggerating the case of an imprisoned Iranian activist
medium.com/@delshademami/…
Leading "human rights organization" @Amnesty International has been completely silent as Chelsea Manning @xychelsea has been re-imprisoned and put into torturous solitary confinement.

Israeli spyware Pegasus, purchased by Saudi for $55M last year, "allows customers to secretly listen to calls, record keystrokes, read messages & track internet history on targeted phone; use phone’s microphone camera as surveillance devices." #Bezos

nyti.ms/2zF5KrF
"Because of those sweepingly invasive capabilities, Israel classifies the spyware as a weapon. The company must obtain approval from the Defense Ministry for its sale to foreign governments. Saudi Arabia paid $55 million last year for its use, according to Israeli news reports."
Who hated Khashoggi, threatening to "use a bullet" on him? Saudi prince MBS

In 1995, Jeff Bezos’ parents took a $250,000 gamble on his fledgling startup

One IPO and 3 splits later, his parents’ stake could be worth almost $30 billion today. That would make them wealthier than Microsoft Corp. co-founder Paul Allen

bloomberg.com/news/articles/… via @technology
[2] I am NOT saying #Bezos committed insider trading

But I AM saying that grandfather LP #Gise was a director at the AEC (Atomic Energy Commission) and key person to approve and fund ARPA , from which #ARPAnet evolved , and now #Amazon is the largest cloud provider on Earth
[3] Dont believe me? Search this for "Gise" (or LP Gise).
