Beirbart has always been shit. They always leave key details out.

> A description of the Trump Filter extension says it's part of the "antidote" for Trump's "toxic candidacy."

It's ironic that these people harp on Trump for 'closing parts of the internet', yet champion a personal form of censorship of the internet themselves.

https://www.algemeiner.com/2015/12/29/iran-receives-large-delivery-of-yellow-cake-uranium-powder-from-russia/
> Ali Akbar Salehi, the head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, said that Tehran had received nearly 197 tons of of uranium concentrate powder needed for the enrichment process, in exchange for 11 tons of low enriched uranium (LEU).
> Salehi said that Iran had carried out the exchange with Russia in accordance with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s letter regarding compliance with the Joint Comprehensive Protocol of Action (JCPOA), which instructed that Iran first take delivery of the yellow cake before exporting the LEU.
>>12742
This is really good news. Basically, yellow cake is "raw" uranium that takes months to turn into the enriched stuff they sent to Russia. While still classified as LEU, some of what they had was enriched to a higher grade than necessary for fuel use, indicating that it was likely intended for possible weapons use in the future. That's now gone.
Also importantly, this was one of the terms of the deal that some experts worried Iran would refuse to comply with.

I've been extremely surprised how well the Iranians have managed to accomplish their goals. Not only did the sanctions get lifted, they still have the ability to develop nuclear weapons within a short amount of time. That's basically having a soft nuclear deterrent on you.
Take that along with the massive amount of influence they've been developing in Iraq (not sure how much they've gained in Syria), and Iran is sitting mighty happy as far as middle eastern geopolitics is concerned.

Why would they even care?
Why don't they complain about the wiretapping at the UN (i.e., the entire reason the UN building is located in New York)?
This has literally been happening for like 70 years now. Who cares.
>>12746
There's a school of thought that holds that it's a basic human right not to be wiretapped unless you're officially being investigated for a crime.
I'm not a subscriber, but there it is.

Poland's parliament on Wednesday approved new legislation that gives the government control of state radio and television stations in a move that has raised EU concern.
Following a heated debate, the lower chamber voted 232-152 with 34 abstentions to adopt amendments to the media law that were proposed by the ruling conservative Law and Justice party.
If it takes effect, the legislation would give the Treasury Minister the authority to appoint heads of the state-run radio and TV, would limit the number of members in the supervisory boards and the boards of managers and would terminate the terms of the current management, appointed by the previous establishment.
The Law and Justice argues that under current leadership state radio and TV fail to fulfill their role of uniting and educating the nation and serve as means of propaganda for the previous ruling team, now in the opposition.
Opponents say that the new legislation would threaten media independence and freedom of expression, by putting them under direct government control.
The amendments need approval from the Senate and the president, who are also controlled by the ruling party and are expected to grant their consent.
Deputy head of the European Commission, Frans Timmermans wrote to Poland's foreign and justice ministers on Wednesday to express concern for Poland's media freedom and to seek assurance that the new legislation respects EU principles concerning the rights of the media.
Poland's Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski said late Wednesday he has not yet received "any such letter."
The fast pace and the nature of the reforms undertaken by the government since it took power last month have led to large street protests in Warsaw and some other Polish cities and have alarmed some EU leaders.

>>Microsoft Corp experts concluded several years ago that Chinese authorities had hacked into more than a thousand Hotmail email accounts, targeting international leaders of China’s Tibetan and Uighur minorities in particular – but it decided not to tell the victims, allowing the hackers to continue their campaign, according to former employees of the company.
>>The program took advantage of a previously undetected flaw in Microsoft’s own web pages to direct Hotmail and other free Microsoft email services to secretly forward copies of all of a recipient’s incoming mail to an account controlled by the attacker.
>>After a vigorous internal debate in 2011 that reached Microsoft’s top security official, Scott Charney, and its then-general counsel and now president, Brad Smith, the company decided not to alert the users clearly that anything was amiss, the former employees said.
>>One of the reasons Microsoft executives gave internally in 2011 for not issuing explicit warnings was their fear of angering the Chinese government, two people familiar with the discussions said.
Funny how this story, when it first broke, spun it as outlook beginning to take steps against government encroachment. And not what it really is; whistleblowing by former employees and microsoft trying to run damage control.

I don't understand why Paramount hates Star Trek so much. Just sell it to some party who cares about it already and stop ruining it.
Different regimes at Paramount have been fucking with the time honored formula of what Roddenberry intended ever since he died in the early 90s. Except every time there is a management turnaround at the top of the company it gets worse because they all think they are going to 'fix' what the last management regime broke. This is how people like Braga and Berman were allowed to drag the TV shows into oblivion and how JarJar Abrams was trusted with the keys to the kingdom, only to polarize the audience even more by turning it into a lens-flare addled action franchise instead of the science fiction technobabble filled morality play it was intended to be.
>>12771
I was looking forward to Axanar, too. It's too bad.
>>12777
You do know Paramount has very little control over the TV side of Star Trek right?
TV rights lay with CBS
