MESOP NEWS : WOMEN’S MARCH 2017 – „THE PROTEST OF THE HIGH CLASS BABIES“ – FUCK UP !
A LETTER TO MESOP FROM NORTH IRAQ
Thousands protest because of trumps supposed anti women misogyny for women’s rights. Yet no one protested when ISIS killed women and children in palmyria Syria or Mosul or sinjar with the yazidis or during the culling in Aleppo by Nusra. Apparently it only matters if its perceived against you. Yeah fuck the foreign women ya know, trump might outlaw abortion or birth control here in the US, but fuck those getting executed, raped, tortured in the ME on a daily basis due to them being females. though… forgettaboutit
And yeah I hope this is offensive because while you bitch and moan about percieved misogyny in the US, THOUSANDS of women were killed in 2016 without a word from you feminists but again it affects you not at all when its not within your country or hemisphere. Fucking sheeps & fucking hypocrites & snowflakes.
So here is what I am offering, to those so appalled by trump. I will pay round trip ticket, to house and to feed you if you come here to iraq/kurdistan and put your money where your mouth is for 6 months and truly help those less fortunate and those who are actually being persecuted. So will you stand up and take the offer or continue to ignore those in real danger and under real persecution. Will you drop everything in your comfy fucking life to help the cause or is what you are saying nothing but words.

MESOP CULTURE “Identity politics” – GEORGE SOROS’ WOMEN’S MARCH 2017 / MOSTLY WHITE UPPER CLASS WOMEN
Billionaire George Soros has ties to more than 50 ‘partners’ of the Women’s March on Washington – What is the link between one of Hillary Clinton’s largest donors and the Women’s March? Turns out, it’s quite significant
By Asra Q. Nomani – 22 Jan 2017 – New York Times live
In the pre-dawn darkness of today’s presidential inauguration day, I faced a choice, as a lifelong liberal feminist who voted for Donald Trump for president: lace up my pink Nike sneakers to step forward and take the DC Metro into the nation’s capital for the inauguration of America’s new president, or wait and go tomorrow to the after-party, dubbed the “Women’s March on Washington”?
The Guardian has touted the “Women’s March on Washington” as a “spontaneous” action for women’s rights. Another liberal media outlet, Vox, talks about the “huge, spontaneous groundswell” behind the march. On its website, organizers of the march are promoting their work as “a grassroots effort” with “independent” organizers. Even my local yoga studio, Beloved Yoga, is renting a bus and offering seats for $35. The march’s manifesto says magnificently, “The Rise of the Woman = The Rise of the Nation.” Read all http://www.mesop.de/?p=82252

MESOP NEWS INTEL ISRAELI DEBKA FILES : Moscow acts to oust Iran from Syria, bombs ISIS
22 Jan 2017 – Although Vladimir Putin’s spokesman spoke reservedly Saturday, Jan. 21, about Donald Trump’s inauguration as US president the day before – It would be “an illusion” to expect Russian-US ties to be “free of disagreement” – Moscow’s actions in Syria were clearly designed to meet the new US president more than half way.Trump in his inauguration speech pledged to wipe radical Islamist terrorism “off the face of the earth.”His words were still reverberating when Russian long-range Tu-22M3 bombers flying in from bases in Russia smashed Islamic State targets in the eastern Syrian province of Deir ez-Zour the next day. The bombers hit ISIS base camps, weapons stockpiles and armored vehicles, covered overhead by Russian fighter jets from their Syrian air base at Hmeimim. After the sortie, the Tupolev bombers flew home.debkafile’s military and intelligence sources interpret the heavy Russian bombardment of ISIS as one of several signals Putin is sending out of his willingness to go the extra mile for a common effort with Trump to root ISIS and all its works out of the Middle East.

MESOP CULTURE SPECIAL : Is Judith Butler the New Edward Said?
by A.J. Caschetta – MIDDLE EAST FORUM 20 Jan 2017
Of all the non-MiddLe East specialists writing on the Middle East, few have been as prolific or as indecipherable as Judith Butler. More than an academic, she has become a pop culture figure. In an age of identity politics, Butler’s identity as a Marxist, feminist, lesbian practitioner of critical theory who writes prolifically about gender and transgenderism have made her among the most-interviewed active college professors. But her anti-Israel advocacy has made her a star, and a possible successor to the late Edward Said, another academic whose fame rests more on tendentious scholarship and agitprop than rigorous, objective research.

Also sagt Pretzell: „Wir haben ein Problem mit dem politischen Islam, in Deutschland, in Europa, vor allem in Westeuropa. Es gibt ein Land, was schon Jahrzehnte längere Erfahrungen in dieser Frage hat.“ Pretzell meint Israel. „Ein Land, was sich mit einer Politik der Europäischen Union konfrontiert sieht, die feindlicher kaum sein könnte.“ Die EU finanziere „letztlich über Umwege Terrororganisationen gegen Israel“, sagt Pretzell, ohne diese Unterstellung weiter auszuführen. „Israel ist unsere Zukunft, meine Damen und Herren!“, ruft Pretzell

Der Nanny-Staat ist grün. Und links. Und weiblich.
Von Hans Peter Dietz – Hans Peter Dietz ist Arzt und lebt seit 1997 in Australien.
Ich habe seit etwa 20 Jahren ein professionelles Interesse an Risikoabschätzungen und der Art, wie Staat und Individuen mit (primär gesundheitlichen) Risiken umgehen. Es ist eine Debatte, die überall in der westlichen Welt stattfindet, auch in Australien, wo ich seit fast 20 Jahren lebe. Die Achse hat vor kurzem einen Beitrag veröffentlicht, der einen meiner akademischen Interessenbereiche berührt. Peter Heller beschreibt in „Vorzeitige Todesfälle“: Evergreen der Öko-Angstmacher“ die Schnittmenge zwischen ökologischer Politik und „nanny state“-Bürokratie.
