I occasionally like to share videos made by Ben Swann as I think he does a pretty good job of acting as journalists should. I haven't shared anything for awhile, and I have several times sent messages trying to encourage him to come to steemit. That hasn't happened yet.
Today I was going to his youtube channel to see what the latest videos he has released might be. These are all news and current events related and I'll share them and comment on each of them here. I will show them in reverse chronological order. So the first one I show will be the most recent.

Reality Check: Nobel Peace Prize Winning President Obama Drops 26,171 Bombs in 2016
Published Date: January 13th, 2017
That is three bombs, every hour, for 24 hours a day if spread out over time. The Department of Defense severely under reports civilian deaths. I've written about my views on how collateral damage is viewed as acceptable and I believe it is an evil stance. Collateral Damage should be treated as an accident and everything done to avoid it again in the future. Today we do not do that, we simply consider it acceptable.
Reality Check: Why WaPo's Russia Hacking U.S. Power Grid Story is Epitome of "Fake News"
Published Date: January 6th, 2017
Ben covers why the penetration of Vermont Utilities is #fakenews. I also would like to point out a post I made last week on hacking and evidence. The public tends to believe it is easy to determine where a hacker comes from. In reality, unless the hacker is incredibly stupid it is not. An IP Address cannot prove who the hacker was unless they are stupid enough to connect directly from their location. If they are as good as would be required to pull off these supposed hacks, they will not be this stupid. This means the claims of proof of hacking are most likely the government and fake media playing upon the ignorance of most people on how the internet actually works.

Reality Check: Proof That Those "Moderate Rebels" in Syria are Really Jihadists

Reality Check: DEA Absolutely Wrong In Making CBD Oil Schedule 1 Drug
Published Date: December 23rd, 2016
This drug uses the non-psychoactive parts of Cannabis. It has no addictive properties. It shouldn't be scheduled as any kind of scheduled restricted drug, let alone the absolute worst SCHEDULE 1. So what is really going on? This Oil can often help with problems that expensive pharmaceutical drugs cannot. I've seen this with elderly patients who rub it on arthritic limbs and have it work better than expensive prescriptions drugs. I believe THAT is why it is schedule 1. Big Pharmaceutical companies benefit from this, and so does the Prison Industrial Complex.
Steem On!
