Too depressing. There is only one solution to this problem. We need a leader who has the courage to do what needs to be done.

I HATE GOOGLE! I've lost count of how many comments I have attempted to post recently that google's sign feature has 'disappeared'. When attempting to preview or post a comment - the window transitions to a 'sign in' window then returns to a blank comment box. I fervently pray technology develops google's nemesis ASAP.

Back to topic. . .this short clip provides a useful study on the msm complicity in Western decline. Note how the host introduces Ferguson as an author of one current book and then goes on to introduce Ziad as one who writes extensively. Bias?

Equally frustrating is the hosts supposed astonishment at Ferguson's rebuttal bursting Ziad's continued defensive bubble (colonialsm) even after Ziad consistently accepts and admits time after time that Ferguson's characterizations are accurate- much to the hosts surprise.

Hat tip? Would be good. Would be correct.

I didn't get it from you, Mark.

But, I'll give you a hat tip anyway.
