Pour la plupart des ados, le monde dans lequel ils vivent ne leurs donne pas vraiment l’envie de “grandir” !
C’est très compliqué, surtout dans un monde où plus personne ne croit dans le progrès ni dans un monde meilleur …
C’est un peu inquiétant car ça ne donne pas vraiment envie de grandir !!!
Les ados sont par ailleurs en quête de sens dans un monde dominé par les “fake news”…

For most teenagers, the world they live in does not really make them want to “grow up”!
It's very complicated, especially in a world where no one believes in progress or in a better world...
It's a bit worrying because it doesn't really make you want to grow!!!
Teens are also searching for meaning in a world dominated by “fake news”…
No sorry - I cant think of simple explanation -
Sky News has spoken to Sally Gainsbury, a senior policy analyst at the Nuffield Trust, a health thinktank.
It comes after the Trust released a report criticising the lack of detailed plans for NHS spending from any of the main parties - Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat.
The visual handhold is in the bottom left-hand side of this distorted photo. You can see the ends of two tubes of paint which I placed inside a crystal, art deco, fruit bowl. Reflections are all around us but in general, I think that we ignore them instinctively because they can be often far from the reality. However reflections in words,particularly in the press, are much more difficult to distinguish and can be very very dangerous.
La poignée visuelle se trouve en bas à gauche de cette photo déformée. Vous pouvez voir les extrémités de deux tubes de peinture que j'ai placés à l'intérieur d'une coupe à fruits en cristal, art déco. Les réflexions sont tout autour de nous mais en général, je pense que nous les ignorons instinctivement car elles peuvent être souvent éloignées de la réalité. Cependant les réflexions dans les mots, notamment dans la presse, sont beaucoup plus difficiles à distinguer et peuvent être très très dangereuses.
Not really but it is how I feel when I watch the news sometimes. The recent riots in England, sparked by nefarious, anti-immigration, bad actors of Right-Wing parties have shown how widespread Disinformation is on social media platforms like X (twitter). Watch Media Watch for the full discussion on the crap that was broadcast there as well as the rubbish shown on Channel 7 here in Melbourne.

Spreading disinformation is rife but there are people who act on this crap, causing real societal problems. We ignore it at our peril.
For those interested in the photo it was taken underneath a bridge where the waters reflected the pillars and concrete. A little bit of overlay manipulation to give a more interesting effect.

Last Monday was such a nice day before the changing of the weather and all the bad news that followed. Watching the daily news, it’s nye on impossible to determine good factual information or a balanced viewpoint, especially the BBC, which is terrified of shocking or offending its audience these days.
I’ll go out on a limb here and say I actually prefer Piers Morgan in the morning when Kevin Maguire (Daily Mirror) and Andrew Pierce (Daily Mail) are commenting... at least they provide a fiery debate as neither agrees with each other on any issue, but you at least you get to ponder the different opinions. I only mention this as the two ladies in the picture are reading those respective newspapers and look content in each other's company.
Piers... on the right must be checking his Twitter followers.
Plenty of titles to go with this picture, included these title tracks from R.E.M.

Once thought to be extinct the milliplover has recently been located on a remote beach in New Jersey. The beach is so remote, in fact, that there is no Parkway exit for the location (a concept once considered impossible). The major reasons for its demise were thought not to be related to human incursion but rather to presence of multiple legs all facing different directions. This bird never knew where to go! It shifted one moment to the right and another to the left, really never getting anywhere unless it took to the air. At one point, there was a concerted effort to replace the bald eagle with this bird as a symbol of America. It is a title that might be quite befitting. #PipingPlover #Brooding #FakeNews

Fake News - Fake Kompromat !

La menace que je vois se dessiner ce n’est donc pas celle des Fake news, mais celle de l’autoritarisme de l’État et son autonomisation en tant qu’agent de contrôle de l’opinion(Emmanuel Todd, historien et anthropologue)
Le déni de la réalité est devenu le cadre de vie de nos dirigeants (Jan Theuninck, 17.01.2017)
The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve to know. * We are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy. That relies on primarily on covet means for expanding its fear of influence. On infiltration instead of invasion. On subversion instead of elections. On intimidation instead of free choice, on guerillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted, vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly nit highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific, and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. * It requires a change in outlook, a change in tactics, a change in missions--by the government, by the people, by every businessman or labor leader, and by every newspaper. For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence--on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. * Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match. * Nevertheless, every democracy recognizes the necessary restraints of national security--and the question remains whether those restraints need to be more strictly observed if we are to oppose this kind of attack as well as outright invasion. * And so it is to the printing press--to the recorder of man's deeds, the keeper of his conscience, the courier of his news--that we look for strength and assistance, confident that with your help man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.

Is er een enorm verschil tussen wat de burger in het dagdagelijkse leven ervaart en wat er in de "vrije" pers wordt meegedeeld? Zijn de journalisten hondjes die aan een korte ketting liggen en alleen blaffen op bevel van hun baasje: zijn zij de promotors van het politieke "correct" denken? Is dit een symptoom van wat men een geleide democratie (of zachte dictatuur) noemt? Dient de pers om de aandacht van de burgers af te leiden van nog erger? (Jan Theuninck in Poetrylifeandtimes, begin 21ste eeuw)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Equal enslavement is also evident in the media: journalists have accepted – without any scruple of conscience – prostituting themselves to the powerful, going so far as to censor the truth and spread shameless lies without even trying to give them the appearance of credibility. Up until last year journalists counted the numbers of the “victims” of Covid by presenting anyone who tested positive as terminally ill; today those who die after being vaccinated are always and only taken by a vague “illness,” and even before the post mortem examinations they officially decide that there is no correlation between a person’s death and the administration of the gene serum. They twist the truth with impunity when it does not confirm their narrative, bending it to fit their purposes. Mgr Vigano, 28.08.21

he propagation of fake news has taken a chokehold on Western society, often making it difficult to differentiate fact from fiction. With hundreds of fake news sites and articles to contend with, one can easily fall victim to one. Are you one of millions of people who have clicked, liked, shared, or believed a fake news story? Check the facts carefully and challenge fake news!
It may look like South America but this is Derwent Water in the Lake District with Skiddaw mointain covered in April snow. Keswick sits at the foot of the mountain but unless you look closely it can be missed.
In the Post Truth era of MSM things are now always what the seem and much remains hidden. Perception is Power. The truth its casualty for now

Just for Fun, British Railways Class 5XP Jubilee 45562 " Alberta" passes British Railways Bulleid West Country Pacific 34046 "Braunton" at Long Preston on 26/05/2021 (Note: This Image is Fictitious,Trains did not pass here)
And yet it just keeps on spinning out of control and comin' at ya! Enough to make your head spin...and spin....and spin......and... uggghhhh! And I don't even live in the US!
Spotted in passing on a boarded-up shop window on West Broadway/Granville St. in Vancouver. Snapped on iPhone 6.
Quick little Vignette to show the new figure I recently got. Thought I'd add my CB Marines too as they are one of my favourite figures that I never seem to have out. Apologies but I couldn't get all the states in a flag this size but clearly you can use your imagination.
Love him or hate him he is a character.
Is that fake news?
Less then a day after the storming of the Capitol, President Trump of the USA presented three golfers with the Presidential Medal of Freedom (?).
This is the same person, in possession of the nuclear codes, who is considered in competent to have a Twitter account!
Let this sink in a moment..............................
I am suddenly for The Wall !!

Donald Trump's list of "fake news" stories he has started or promoted is long and well-known. From claiming Barack Obama was not an American citizen, to his statement he saw Muslims cheering after the attacks on 9/11, each has provoked outrage from those who believed him as well as those who thought they were out-and-out lies.
The resilience of these stories has caused many to believe we are now living in a Post-Truth era, where truth is meaningless. For years, the American people have had to deal with political "spin" —ferreting out the truth from statements delivered by politicians and their operatives. Donald Trump has taken this to new heights.
Is this what we will have to look forward to for the next four years? When will the fulcrum return to a place where the veracity of a politician's word has some currency?

ONLY PERSONAL COMMENT. EVERY COMMENT CODE OR AWARD WILL BE REMOVED. THANKS
Will Be A Lot of Small Things...
Here's some small (though actually significant) things you can do today to help democracy:
1. The Senate Committee on Homeland Security is taking calls about Bannon's appointment to the NSC. You can call: 202-224-4751. Tell them you don't want a racist and fascist running our security.
2. Call and/or email your congress person. Here's a quick lookup if you don't know who that is:
Email or call them to oppose Bannon, DeVos, Sessions (those are the big ones) and the Muslim ban. When you call, you will be talking to a Congressional aide and it will take less than 5 minutes. They will jot down your name and occasionally you can leave contact info. for them to get back to you. Most of the time, if you mention you are an active voter and are paying attention to how your congress person votes on an issue, that is enough to do the trick to get the information passed along.
3. The Army is actually taking feedback about the Dakota Access Pipeline. This is an environmental nightmare and opposed by all of the indigenous groups in the area for good reason. Leave your feedback:
actionnetwork.org/letters/submit-your-eis-comment-to-the-...;
4. Grab Your Wallet! We're in an era where profits are more important than people so check out this listing of Trump supporter-businesses and email them telling them you will boycott their product because of it. I sent out about 10 emails last night after I found both Uber and Nordstrom were disassociating themselves from Trump (that's huge!)
5. Take a poll from Fox News! No, seriously. Take the poll. Our government has decided to censor and not allow in most media at this point as they are textbook fascists performing an experiment of modern horror on America. So, the prized baby media of our celebrated Fascist in chief is Fox News. So, for one, tell Fox News you disagree with his policies. And, additionally, it's a relief to see the results on many of these questions. Is Trump right about firing Sally Yates? 65% say no. Is he correct about immigrant restrictions? 77% say no. This is Fox news viewers people....
nation.foxnews.com/poll/index.html
6. Sign some petitions. If you're too tired from protesting or just too fearful at the moment, the very basic thing you can do is to sign petitions. There's been a lot of talk about how petitions might not mean anything and, while I agree it's more meaningful to call your congress person, relate that you are a voter and are paying attention, it is still a fun and easy way to express your voice and, after you fill out your info. once, it auto populates for the rest and you can sign about 20 petitions in less than five minutes. Done and done...invigorating when you see how many other hundreds of thousands of Americans agree with you.
7. Have conversations with people...start with your coworkers and family....including (gasp) your republican family members. Appeal to the goodness of them and their sense of nationalism. They want a strong America...well, selling guns to people who are mentally ill without background checks while deporting highly qualified individuals does not make for a strong America. Reference the Constitution which they are supposed to hold dear themselves. Appeal to them as Christians, women, human beings-whatever. Just find that common ground of conscience that would alert them that what is happening is woefully wrong. If you can't talk about politics in person because you don't feel comfortable, talk about politics on social media-destroy lies like the so called Bowling Green Massacre that never happened Kellyanne Conway made up last night. Make sure that for every lie they spout, you spout the truth. Twitter and Facebook are excellent references for that...most people get their news from social media these days anyway (can't blame them when all of the good news sources have been censored and Trump won't allow a recording to be made when he calls Putin) The other funny thing that happened last night is the Trump memo got out that women should dress like women so everyone started tweeting and uploading photos of famous women and how they dressed, the best being this one: pbs.twimg.com/media/CdCLAAsWoAEEP16.jpg
8. Protest. It's easy to say Resist! Resist! But, really mean it. Get out there on the streets...I am a regular protestor in Chicago and, yes, I would probably be protesting some of Hillary's policies too just in case you're wondering. Some people concerned about protesting ask me things like, "Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?" or "Aren't you afraid of getting arrested?"
Right now, by and large, the public agrees with us. Trust me...40% of people want impeachment...60% disapprove of his presidency so far according to recent polls done in America. Most of the police officers agree with you even though they might not say it. You don't have to break the law...protesting is your democratic right and fascist Trump WILL take it away from us if you don't exercise it. These protests are peaceful and passionate. Add to that energy. Plus, it's a great way to connect with other people in your community. The street is the new bar. Meet people, congregate, fall in love. Just voice your democratic freedom.
Another question people ask me about protesting is where to find out the information. Here's a great website with specific information: mashable.com/2017/02/01/how-to-find-protests-online-trump...
Last, you might live in a place that is not by a major city...well, then organize a protest in your town. Why does that make a difference? Trust me, it DOES. Chicago residents were recently very impressed when three suburbs, Oak Park, Morton Grove, and Evanston (not near to each other) organized three separate protests on different days. The reason why these protests are especially important is that it goes against the idea that it's only those city folk who are against Trump. No, it's not...and proving that in every small suburb, town, and city there will be people who are willing to be a light in the darkness is extremely important.
The next huge protest might be the March For Science on April 22cnd. Visit marchforscience.org for more information on participating and/or starting one in your own city!
9. I put this one at the end not because of lack of importance but because I have tried several times and cannot get through.
House Speaker Paul Ryan's Washington D.C. office is allowing callers to express their opinion regarding the Affordable Care Act, often called the ACA or, more simply, Obamacare.
The survey can be accessed by calling either (202) 225-3031 or (202) 225-0600. In each case, there is a period of silence before callers are asked to press "2" if they want to "express [their] opinion on President [Barack] Obama's healthcare law"; for example, it took two minutes and 30 seconds before being able to begin the process while calling the latter number.
10. Donate $$$ The ACLU has received a ton of donations and that's great. Let's not forget also about Planned Parenthood: www.plannedparenthood.org/ and Refugees in America: www.rescue.org/topic/refugees-america
Have a nice day being politically active and standing up against tyranny! Make sure you take your vitamins and caffeine! Don't forget, a little bit of self care is important too in order to help you stay healthy and active.
Btw, this photo is actually from Ghent, Belgium but I liked the message so much, I felt it fit.
