Hillary Clinton went to a GMO convention and gave GMOs her full support, repeating the false talking points of the GMO companies.
Kerry called for a "global coalition" to fight ISIS.
Fighting ISIS in a way that is effective in the long term is not such a simple thing. Previous interventions backfired, and ISIS is the result.
Although fighting ISIS can hurt it tactically, in the long term military opposition that enrages foreign Sunnis is what ISIS thrives on.
The leaders of ISIS seem to want to encourage a big US intervention, and that is why they publish provocative videos of real or pretended beheadings.
They also want to encourage Shi'ite hatred that will frighten Iraqi Sunnis.
In 1950, the UK establishment confronted democracy to maintain its power. Nowadays, it has achieved such superiority over democracy that there is nothing to restrain its power.
In the US, the confrontation dated from 1932 to 1980, and some details of the establishment are different, but the result is the same.
This is why none of the major parties proposes measures that would give poor Britons decent housing.
A Brazilian court ordered Apple, Google and Microsoft to delete the Secret app (and a similar one) from their app stores.
Nobody should use that app; it is proprietary software, so the users don't control it and it may well be malware (as many proprietary programs are).
The Apple and Microsoft operating systems are proprietary and full of malware, too, as is Google Play which is part of Android.
Notwithstanding that, this court decision is oppression, pure and simple. But what makes the decision so damaging is that Apple and Microsoft have built censorship of apps into their operating systems. Now Brazil is using their censorship systems for its own purposes.
