The White German Shepherd is a beautiful and often misunderstood breed. I am here to put a few things straight, and I think the best way to do that is by putting forward questions I often hear about this dog and giving you accurate answers!
So keep reading to find out more about this wonderfully white dog!
1. Is the White German Shepherd a separate breed to the standard German Shepherd?
2. White German Shepherd vs standard German Shepherd?
3. What makes the White German Shepherd white?
4. Can a White German Shepherd produce standard colored offspring?
5. Does the White German Shepherd have genetic disorders?
The recessive gene that causes this breed to be white has always been present in the original genetic structure of the German Shepherd – White German Shepherds descended directly from German Shepherds.
Since the 1930s, however, the White German Shepherd dog has been considered a fault and has yet to be recognized or accepted as a type of German Shepherd.
Supporters of the breed began forming their own breed clubs and registries for this dog in the 1970s, and eventually, in 1999 the United Kennel Club (UKC), the second largest dog breed registry in the US, recognized the White German Shepherd as a separate breed.
Like the Black German Shepherd, the White German Shepherd is the product of a recessive coat color gene. Unlike the Black German Shepherd, however, whose true color is solid black, the recessive white gene acts as a mask, blocking the dog's true color and pattern and causing it to appear white.
The only way to get 100% solid white offspring is to breed two White German Shepherds, but if a White German Shepherd is bred to a colored German Shepherd, they will throw colored puppies. What proportion depends on whether the non-white Shepherd also carries the recessive white gene.
If the non-white carries the recessive white gene, the puppies will have a 50/50 chance of being white or colored.
If the non-white doesn't carry the recessive white gene, all the pups will be colored.
Given that we cannot know what color or pattern a White German Shepherd is masking, it is not easy to determine what colors the pups will be when bred to a non-white German Shepherd.
Unfortunately, though, history has been unkind to this breed, and today people still have the idea that she is flawed genetically.
I've heard people refer to the White German Shepherd many times as an albino German Shepherd. While there are albino German Shepherds, the White German Shepherd is not an albino dog.
An albino is an organism that has deficient pigmentation, which causes pink eyes, pale skin, and colorless hair. The White German Shepherd has pink or black skin, gold or brown eyes, a dark nose and solid white fur.
Some people think that if you breed a White German Shepherd with a standard one, the white gene will cause the puppies to be born a lighter color. This is not the case, however.
The white gene is not a dilute gene, like liver and blue; it is a masking gene (meaning the recessive gene masks the dog's true color). The only way for diluting to happen is if the White Shepherd in question is masking a diluted color like liver or blue.
The recessive gene is only responsible for the dog's color; there are absolutely no links to poor health or temperament. The White German Shepherd is prone to the same health issues as the standard, the major concern being hip and elbow dysplasia.
Unfortunately, not unlike the case with the Black German Shepherd, some breeders are just in it for the money. As these dogs are relatively rare, breeders can charge more for a White German Shepherd puppy. While the average puppy price for a standard German Shepherd starts at about $300 and goes up to $900, White German Shepherd puppies cost between $750 – 1000.
It is very important to search for a responsible breeder and know how to recognize one. They should be able to provide you with full details on the puppy's parentage, any health issues and details of the puppy's vaccinations. They should want to meet with you to ask you questions about your experience as a dog owner and why you think you'd be a good match for the White German Shepherd puppy.
To find a trustworthy breeder, check out The American White Shepherd Association, the largest White Shepherd dog club in the US. They provide links to White German Shepherd breeders all over the US and Canada, all of whom are members of the club.
She is recognized as a separate breed to the standard.
Physical differences include: a white coat that is usually longer and may not be double.
Her white color is caused by a recessive 'masking' gene that hides her true color and pattern.
She is no different to the standard German Shepherds in terms of temperament, life span or health.
She can produce colored German Shepherd puppies.
Let's change people's minds about this beautiful dog – go and spread the word!
Got something to say about the White German Shepherd? Comment below!
Ill bet she is, we have a black male German Shepherd we always say best dogie in the world. White German Shepherds are great dogs. Enjoy.
we adopted a white german shepard is name is sam and what an awesome dog good watchdog ! this is our first white german shepard we always have had the black and tan took some adjustment to get use to the white i think sam is different and i like that. thanks for your info i learned alot.
We adopted a one year old-ish White German Shepherd from an animal shelter. He had lots of issues, obviously related to abuse and neglect. We have had him for 5 years now. We love him dearly. He still has some of the issues (very wary of strangers; goes crazy at loud sounds), but he is overall a wonderful pet.
I just adopted a white GSD (possibly mixed and around 2 years) recently and he unfortunately has some issues from abuse and neglect as well. But he also seems like a really sweet dog but he has some weird habits that I wonder what caused. You can rarely hear him barking, doesn't growl, rarely even whines unless it's in his sleep. I was just wondering if yours did that in any way.
Dan, I have had German shepherds my whole life, and 3 of them were whites. You mentioned your dog goes crazy at loud sounds , well I'll tell you that ALL 3 of my whites went crazy at loud noises, the worst being the garbage trucks, so that is something that will always be apart of him. I speak from 25 yrs of dog training, I have tried everything to stop or ease the fearfulness of loud noises. As for being wary of strangers, German shepherds are a naturally aloof towards strangers.
We have a beautiful white shepherd , he is very loyal and affectionate, he mumbles and grumbles and howls. loves the sea and beach and digging in the sand(and water!) He can say "I love you", eager and easy to train. He also loves catching bubbles! Hasn't always been good with other male dogs who have a high energy, a kind firm hand is needed because they will always test you! (so smart) I run with him , so lots energy required. he is my soul buddy =) , his shape looks like the original first German shepherds like Greif von Sparswasser , I love my white Kebla Khan.
Is it possible that a white German Shepard's weight could be 24 lbs? She has all the characteristics of the White GSD, sheds like crazy, howls, gold eyes, pink skin, she is just smaller sized. She is not perhaps as shaggy as some of the dogs pictured. Very obedient, affectionate, but not underfoot. I have not seen any comments that mention a smaller sized dog.
We just rescued a beautiful 2 yr old white dog that the shelter staff thinks is a German shepherd/husky cross because of his GSD look, but white coarse coat (some golden areas, especially his ears). I'm starting to wonder if this constantly shedding, sweet, good natured boy might be a white GSD.
We adopted our white shepherd from the animal shelter a couple of months ago. She's about 1 year old now, and is still very puppyish. Quite the STRONG chewer, I have given her the nickname "chainsaw". I can't believe how loving and smart she is. She is really friendly and extremely playful. We had a black Lab and a brown/black German shepherds and her personality seems to be a cross of the two. What an absolute joy this girl is to our family.
I have had Golden Retrievers in the past and wanted to try something different. I have had two White German Shepherds for about three years and will probably have them the rest of my life. They are very smart, loyal and loving.
I think white German Shepherds are very beautiful, however the one my family adopted was aggressive especially toward children. Not sure if she was abused before we had her or not but she was a bit wild. Anyone else experience this??
Daisy is a wonderful girl in her twilight years and we will miss her very much when she leaves us… it's been worth every minute.
I have a white German Shepherd, he's so beautiful. He's very intelligent and loves his family. I was reading about the "breed" and an article said that white shepherds are characterized by self-confidence, and that a timid or aggressive dog at maturity is uncommon. My dog is 2 years old and is friendly but also very timid. Around strangers, he can be extremely aggressive, growling and barking whenever we have guests in the house. He especially does not like strange men.
We looked around to various different breeders because we were interested in buying a white German shepherd we found a breeder which interview just before has buying our dog we could not be more happier with him he is such a loving so he loves all the attention of people you could not ask for a better companion and I would highly recommend the white GS as a household pet we have no regrets in having hours there is not a day goes by but he does not make you smile in some way or another.
I have two beautiful white German Shepherds. The first one acquired by accident. Someone was selling him and his siblings on the side of the road. I thought he was a white lab until I got closer. The mom dog was stunningly beautiful but most important, calm. I fell madly in love.
They are intelligent, loyal, affectionate, and full of personality. I would not have another breed, despite that they shed 365 days of the years. Warning – they are puppy-like until about age 2 +. You must walk, challenge, and play with them. They are the best companions and very intuitive.
Greetings. I own two cats and wish to get a year and a half old female white GS. I am a teacher and don't work from home. How can I give my three pets a healthy and happy life. For now I live in an apartment.
I have had these dogs since I was about 2yrs old. I have 2 now. They have their own loyalty, so make sure you socialize them, so they dont get too protective. Sensative and fun. You can teach by playing with them because they are so smart! Hand commands too! They are limitless with love and intelligence. Still the best dogs ever! (If you crate them remember it can stunt their growth if left for long periods) I never have but have seen it.. i have one that was left like that and was afraid of noises, wind, gunfire, stuff that im still working on after having her 4 yrs. they dont forget easily, so be patient.
I have a rescue white German Shepard Ike he is my second white one. He is an incredible dog. I could not ask for a better more loyal companion. I do take him everywhere. He is always the center of attention but at 105 lbs weight he is quite impressive.
I just love my big boy!! I inherited him from my ex, but I couldn't ask for a better dog. He has seen me through it all. He even drove cross country with me from Wisconsin/Illinois to Los Angeles. It sounds crazy but my big boy Taurus has been my rock always there to cheer me up or just hang out with his mom!! He has a gorgeous coat and his stance shows everyone that he is very much in charge. He doesn't have a slop in his back. He stands up and he's eye to eye with me and I'm 5'4 and his weight is about 110 lbs. his coat is long and thick with a big mane around his neck, and head with feathered hair down his legs. His tail is beautifully feathered and bushy but it can be watch out you don't want to get hit with it… it's actually quite painful.
My baby just turned 8 yrs old April 27 and I'm realizing that I may only have him for few more yrs if I'm lucky.
I grew up with white German Shepherds and that has been over 50 years. I currently have 3 white German Shepherds and love them dearly. That said I love all German Shepherds. I absolutely love all my white German Shepherds.
I have a white GSD who is the best dog I have ever had. very loyal the only problem I have is when I come in he starts crying, howling, jumping makes me feel bad I have to leave him. when I go to work. what can I do to help him get over his high anxiety while I'm gone.


The Emergency Department management of ankle fractures varies greatly between stable and unstable injuries.
Unstable Fractures: Fractures that compromise the stability of the MORTISE (formed by the medial and posterior malleolae of the tibia, the lateral malleolus of the fibula and associated ligaments) are considered unstable. They often involve fractures to two or more of the malleolae (Bi-malleolar or tri-malleolar fractures). These injuries generally require surgery, and non-weight-bearing status.
Stable Fractures: Fractures that do not affect the stability of the mortise, like some isolated distal fibular fractures, can often be treated non-operatively in a walking cast/boot and heal without surgery.
Some unstable fractures, are obvious on physical exam and radiology, but some can be indistinguishable from stable injuries on initial evaluation.
Bi-malleolar Equivalent: A fracture of the lateral malleolus can be associated with an injury to the deltoid ligament (which connects the talus and distal tibia and supports the medial aspect of the ankle joint) without a fracture of the medial malleolus itself. This injury pattern is unstable.
So if you see an isolated lateral malleolar fracture on x-ray, it could be a stable fracture (not much more than an ankle sprain) or an unstable injury that requires a cast and an orthopedist.
A 42 year old woman presents with left ankle pain after a fall. She has swelling and tenderness over the lateral malleolus of her ankle, no tenderness over the medial malleolus, and no other gross deformity or injuries. Her initial x-rays are below.
Ask yourself: What is the fracture? Is this a stable or unstable injury? Can she be discharged home in a walking boot?
Every ankle series includes a mortise view, a nearly AP radiograph that is rotated to show the mortise in its entirety. The mortise joint space should uniformly be < 4mm and the distal tibio-fibular joint should be < 5.5mm. Disruption or widening of the normal anatomy is evidence of an unstable injury pattern, and widening of the mortise at the medial malleolus in particular suggests injury to the deltoid ligament.
In our case the initial mortise view is normal (with the exception of the fibular fracture), but were not done.
No orthopedic discussion is complete without a fracture-classification system, and I'm going to give you two. The Lauge-Hansen system is based on the underlying forces that cause an individual pattern or injuries, and the order in which they occur. The system is a little complicated, and is probably beyond what most of us can memorize for use in everyday practice.
Luckily the Danis-Weber classification divides ankle fractures based on the location of the fibular injury compared to the level ankle mortise. Within these two systems most ankle fractures fall into three distinct categories.
A: In a Supination-Adduction injury the fibula breaks first, with a fracture below the level of the mortise (Danis-Webber A). In more severe cases the tibia also breaks through the medial malleolus, and once both malleoli are broken the joint becomes unstable and the talus can shift inside the mortise.
B: In Supination External Rotation injury the fibula breaks at the level of the mortise (Danis-Webber B). The fibula breaks first, the next injury (with increasing severity) is either a fracture of the medial malleolus OR a deltoid ligament is tear. Because a deltoid ligament injury is not seen on plain radiographs, an unstable injury can appear to be a stable one on a standard (i.e. non-stress) mortise view. The quick and easy way to differentiate these two are via stress view of the ankle.
C: In Danis-Webber C the fibula fracture is above the level of the mortise. These injuries are caused by pronation and external rotation. They are almost all unstable injuries. The fibula breaks after injury to the medial malleolus or deltoid ligament. Although you can safely assume that the injury is unstable, a stress view is still useful to document the degree instability.
You correctly classify this injury as a Dennis-Webber B (the fibular fracture is at the level of the mortise). As we just learned, there is no way to tell by looking at the above x-ray if the fracture is an isolated injury (ie an SER 2), or if it is associated with an occult deltoid ligament tear (SER 4). A stress view is indicated.
But her medial malleolus isn't tender to exam, How can she have a deltoid injury?
It makes intuitive sense that an injury to the deltoid ligament should cause tenderness over the medial ankle, and that absence of tenderness could rule out an unstable injury without additional radiographs.
Unfortunately, that's not the case. In a 2007 study of 55 patients with isolated Danis-Webber B fractures, DeAngelis et al. found that medial tenderness was only 57% sensitive and 59% specific for a deltoid ligament injury (identified on subsequent ankle stress radiograph) (DeAngelis 2007).
OK, but how do you do a stress view anyway?
Since you know how, you obtain the above stress view of the patient's ankle, seen here.
An ankle stress view should be interpreted using the same parameters as the mortise view (return to that section of the post if you need a refresher). You can see that the medial clear space has widened, and it is in fact >4mm. This represents the presence of a deltoid ligament injury in addition to the fibular fracture, a bi-malleolar equivalent, which is an an unstable injury.
Isolated lateral malleolar fractures at or above the level of the mortise (Danis-Webber B or C) can be associated with deltoid ligament injury (bi-malleolar equivalent) and should be evaluated with a stress view.

No opposition movement needed to topple PTI govt, says Maryam Nawaz
PML-N vice-president says PM Imran can't lie to the public any longer
File photo of Maryam Nawaz Sharif. PHOTO: RIAZ AHMED/EXPRESS
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice-President Maryam Nawaz on Monday hit out at the Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government, saying its days have been numbered with it to fall on its own.
According to Express News, the daughter of three-time prime minister Nawaz Sharif was speaking to the media outside the Parliament House in Islamabad where she had come to attend a PML-N parliamentary meeting.
"It [the government] is going to fall on its own, the opposition need not do anything," she added.
Maryam said democratic values must reign supreme in the country, adding that the sanctity of the National Assembly must also be guaranteed.
Opposition unites to pile pressure on government
"Honestly, this is the first time I've come here [parliament]," she said.
The government, the PML-N leader said, would fall without any opposition movement.
She then drew Prime Minister Imran Khan into her line of fire, saying: "He can't lie to the public anymore and it is high time he finally tell us this truth."
On Sunday, major opposition parties had announced that they would launch their individual anti-government campaigns after Eidul Fitr until a joint strategy was chalked out at an all-parties conference, the date for which would be decided later.

2. June 12, Reuters – (Texas) About 88,000 without power in Houston area after storm. A severe rain storm left about 88,000 homes and businesses without power in the Houston area June 12, according to utility Web sites. Houston-based CenterPoint Energy reported about 75,000 customers in the dark, mostly on the north side of the city, while Entergy Corp reported more than 13,000 outages, north and east of Houston. Earlier, the two companies had said nearly 170,000 homes and business were without power. A CenterPoint spokeswoman said the outages were being caused by high wind knocking tree limbs into power lines. No timetable for power restoration was available late June 12.

34. June 13, Associated Press – (New York) Police seek Buffalo surgeon in shooting death of woman. The early morning shooting death of a woman June 13 triggered the search for a trauma surgeon and forced the lockdown of a Buffalo, New York hospital as police combed the grounds for the gunman. A person familiar with the investigation told the Associated Press that police are looking for a former U.S. Army medic in connection with the shooting death of the woman in a stairwell at the Erie County Medical Center. The suspect, licensed to practice medicine in New York since 2002, treats patients at the medical center and other major hospitals in the area. A commando team was called in to search a building on the hospital grounds. As of the afternoon of June 13, that search ended but police were still collecting evidence at the hospital. Police said the woman was shot several times inside a building that houses outpatient services and offices.

11. June 12, Los Angeles Times – (New Mexico; Oklahoma; Texas; International) Mexico cartel accused of laundering money at U.S. racetracks. The unlikely marriage of a violent Mexican drug cartel and U.S. quarter horses has apparently ended with the arrest of one of the top suspected members of the Zetas gang. The cartel member, his wife, and five associates were charged June 12 in Austin, Texas, with using horses to launder millions of dollars in drug proceeds. They were taken into U.S. custody after scores of FBI agents raided stables and ranches near Ruidoso, New Mexico, and Lexington, Oklahoma. Working on a tip from more than 2 years ago, law enforcement officials learned the Zetas were allegedly laundering up to $1 million a month in the high circles of American-bred quarter horses. An additional 11 suspects were being sought. The two-State takedown marked the first known time a cartel has allegedly used such a tactic. The indictment alleges when drug-smuggling profits returned to the Zetas in Mexico in "bulk cash shipments," they were delivered to "plaza bosses for counting and distribution." To launder the profits, the cartel turned to "investments in racing quarter horses purchased via bulk currency payments, wire transfers, structured deposits, and bulk currency deposits." The cartel member and his wife allegedly handled things on the U.S. side, creating several corporations — Tremor Enterprises, 66 Land, and Zule Farms — to facilitate moving the money. Those arrested June 12 and those who remain at large, face up to 20 years in prison, as well as fines and other damages of $20 million and more.

12. June 12, Long Island Business News – (New York) Bethpage Federal Credit Union details data breach. Bethpage Federal Credit Union June 12 said personal information of 86,000 consumer VISA debit card accounts had been exposed on the Internet. The company said an employee May 3 posted data on a file transfer protocol site the employee believed to be secure. However, Bethpage Federal later found the data could be accessed through search engines. It removed the data June 3 once it became aware of the breach and sent e-mails June 11 informing those affected. Data posted on the site for consumer VISA debit cards included names, addresses, birth dates, and card expiration dates, as well as checking and savings account numbers. It did not include Social Security numbers, personal identification numbers, or CVV codes. The credit union said the breach came as it transitioned from VISA to MasterCard debit cards. It said it has accelerated the transition and plans to replace the VISA cards within several weeks.

A major payment processor suspects the fallout from a recent security breach may be worse than it initially believed. Global Payments Inc. raised the red flag June 12, more than 2 months after it first reported computer hackers may have stolen data from as many as 1.5 million credit and debit card accounts in North America. At that point, the company had concluded the crooks had not taken anyone's name, address, or Social Security numbers. However, after its investigators dug deeper into the intrusion, Global Payments discovered the bandits also may have pried into computers storing the personal information of various merchants applying to have their sales processed. Besides names, addresses, and Social Security numbers, Global Payments also stores drivers' license numbers and banking account numbers of merchants, according to regulatory filings. The company said it still does not believe any personal information was taken from the up to 1.5 million card accounts cited in its original report of the theft. The data taken from the cards is believed to be mostly account numbers, expiration dates, and security codes. Other key details remain murky because Global Payments still has not identified the merchants and banks entangled in the mess, nor estimated how many people may now be vulnerable to identify theft. Global Payments said it believes "this incident is contained." The company expects to have a better handle on how much the hacking will cost by July 26. So far, Global Payments said there have been no fraudulent charges tied to the breach. Source: http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2012-06/D9VBVDFO0.htm
14. June 12, Federal Bureau of Investigation – (New York; International) Advertising company owner pleads guilty to participating in $19.75M accounting fraud scheme. A U.S. attorney in New York announced the former president of the U.S.-division of an international outdoor advertising company pleaded guilty June 12 in connection with his participation in a 5-year, $19.75 million accounting fraud scheme designed to make it appear the company was meeting certain performance targets so he could receive higher salary increases and bonuses. "[The defendant] and his co-conspirator engaged in accounting sleight-of-hand for the sole purpose of self-enrichment, in violation of the securities laws, and his fiduciary and ethical duties to his company and its shareholders," the U.S. attorney said. From 2004 until 2009, the defendant, together with the company's finance director, directed the firm's controller to make fictitious accounting entries to give the appearance the company was meeting monthly performance targets. These false entries resulted in the preparation of financial statements that reflected artificially inflated monthly income amounts. The fake entries resulted in a total overstatement of the company's income by approximately $19.75 million. As a result, the president was paid about $1.1 million in salaries and bonuses. He also misused tens of thousands of dollars of company funds to pay expenses and fees unrelated to the company's legitimate business.

43. June 13, H Security – (International) Intel CPUs affected by VM privilege escalation exploit. A security vulnerability in the visualization software built into Intel's hardware allows an attacker to execute code in Ring 0 of the CPU. The problem affects 64-bit versions of Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and the Xen hypervisor. The flaw appears to only affect Intel hardware — AMD and ARM CPUs are not affected. To close the security hole, users should apply updates from their operating system supplier.

44. June 13, H Security – (International) Oracle update of Java closes critical holes. In the notes on the June 2012 Critical Patch Update for Java, Oracle recommends that Java SE users upgrade their JDK and JRE packages as soon as possible. The update fixes 14 vulnerabilities, 6 of which are classified as critical because they allow attacks over the network without authentication. Oracle provides little information about the bugs themselves. The six critical bugs appear to involve the Web Starting of applications and applets that are untrusted either because they were delivered without a certificate or because the certificate testing failed. One of the holes can also be exploited by accessing it through a Web service. Source: http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Oracle-update-of-Java-closes-critical-holes-1616681.html
45. June 13, Threatpost – (International) Microsoft warns of XML vulnerability being actively exploited. Microsoft warned of a vulnerability in its XML Core Services 3.0, 4.0, 5.0, and 6.0 that allows remote code to be executed if a victim is convinced to visit a malicious Web site using Internet Explorer. The actively exploited security hole affects all supported Windows releases and all supported editions of Office 2003 and 2007. The flaw was found by Google researchers and reported to Microsoft May 30. "Over the past 2 weeks, Microsoft has been responsive to the issue and has been working with us," a Google security engineer said. "These attacks are being distributed both via malicious Web pages intended for Internet Explorer users and through Office documents. Users running Windows XP up to and including Windows 7 are known to be vulnerable." Source: http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/microsoft-warns-xml-vulnerability-being-actively-exploited-061312
46. June 13, H Security – (International) Critical holes closed in Microsoft's June Patch Tuesday. Microsoft released 7 security bulletins fixing 27 security holes, 13 of them in Internet Explorer (IE). The rest of the patches affect all currently supported Windows versions, the .NET Framework, Remote Desktop, Lync, and Dynamics AX. A patch announced for Visual Basic for Applications has yet to be released. The most important updates are bundled in the cumulative IE patch (MS12-037), which includes fixes for the holes that were targeted by Pwn2Own exploits. According to Microsoft's chief security advisor in Germany, the IE patch also affects the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, and therefore Internet Explorer 10. Another urgent update is MS12-036, which concerns denial-of-service and remote code execution vulnerabilities in the Remote Desktop features built into all supported versions of Windows. The third critical update affects the .NET Framework (MS12-038). The remaining four updates are rated "important" by Microsoft and close code execution bugs in Lync and privilege escalation holes in Dynamics AX and Windows.

47. June 12, Threatpost – (International) Google fixes persistent XSS flaw in Gmail. A security researcher found a persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Gmail, a serious bug the Google security team fixed. The vulnerability is one of three XSS flaws the researcher discovered recently and reported to Google. The persistent XSS in Gmail would have given an attacker the ability to run malicious scripts on a victim's machine. The researcher discovered there was a way for an attacker to get access to several key pieces of information in the URLs that Gmail generates when it displays a message to a user. When a message is displayed directly, rather than as part of a user's inbox, it contains both a static user ID and an identifier for the individual message. Those values should not be available to an attacker, but the researcher found he could get them through referrer leaks.

48. June 12, Ars Technica – (International) Microsoft overhauls certificate management in response to Flame PKI hack. As part of its monthly "Patch Tuesday" security updates for June, Microsoft announced changes in how Windows manages certificates. These changes include a new automatic updater tool for Windows 7 and Windows Vista that will flag stolen or known forged certificates. This shift will have a huge impact on companies and software vendors who use Microsoft's implementation of public key infrastructure as part of their authentication and software distribution — especially if they have not followed best practices for certificates in the past. According to a post on the Microsoft Security Response Center blog by a Microsoft Trustworthy Computing spokesperson, the new certificate update tool will rely on a "Disallowed Certificate Trust List" maintained by Microsoft. The tool will check the list daily, moving certificates found on the list to an "untrusted" store.

We're all going on a bat hunt!
Last night we went on a Bat Walk with the Park Ranger from Leeds City Council. We wrapped up for the chillier evening, and packed our torch. We met some lovely people there, quite a few kids and it was a really nice community event. The Park Ranger gave us all a Bat Detector to use, which was a fantastic gadget to pick up the bat calls. We walked quite deep into the woods and as it got darker the bats came out to play! It was mesmerising. You could hear them calling on the Bat Detector before you saw them, so you knew they were coming. I tried to capture them on the camera, but they were too fast. However, i did get one slightly blurry image!
We went home when it got too dark, but we had a totally brilliant night.

Taharrush ~ Muslim Rape Game Now Available in Sweden
Every country and religion follows a cultural practice of their own. And the particular practise or belief would have an origin of its own with a preferred significance behind it. What sounds to be legal in some of the countries might not be the same in respect of all countries over the world. Well above all these, accepting a particular belief must be one's own choice and forced acceptance can never be legal.
By – postcard.news
Today I am talking about one such practice (game) followed in Islamic religion and that's"Taharrush". Now can you guess what this game is all about? A sport? Or a fun game? I am sorry to say this time you got it wrong. "Taharrush"- it is the sickening and terrifying "Arab Rape Game" that is spreading across Europe. Yes, I agree it's hard to digest but rape is followed as a game in Arab countries! It is also known as the 'rape game', it is believed to have originated in Arabic regions and involves women surrounded by groups of men in crowds and sexually assaulting them. Taharrush is basically an "Arab word which is a reference to flirting" but the meaning changed after the 2011 revolution in Egypt.
Assaulting women and harassing them sexually is a game to these brutal monsters. Shockingly, this game is played in a public place and open grounds and also has spectators to watch them!! Any girl can be a target for this game to be played. This practice has started spreading out of Arab countries and moved to Europe now. And also some sought of symptoms are seen in India as well.
Muslims and Islamists men claim women are respected and revered in their culture and in the "Quran" yet when they are in large groups and feel free of any restraints or personal responsibility their true colors shine through – a total disregard for the honor, dignity, or feelings of women. They are the lowest scum there is and devoid of any honor or morality. And "Taharrush is proof of that".
On one side there are Hindus, who are striving towards changing the immoral practices followed along with the changing modern times. And on the other hand there exist these butchers of Arab countries, to whom women are a toy to be played with.
If we talk about what happened some years back, this practise could be seen taking place in Misr, Egypt. And the public of Misr stood against the government there in huge numbers and it had become a major issue. At this crowd was present South Africa's TV reporter "Lara Logan" during her reporting.
Taking advantage of this crowd, a group of boys crowded around her and started teasing and assaulting her. Recalling the incident about what happened with her, Lara said, "before I could gain senses and realize what's happening, the men started touching me all over my body parts and I was helpless. They were not a few of them but huge in number".

What's frightening is that, this practice does not remain in Arab anymore and is seen spreading to other countries now as well. Europe has been witnessing such incidents in the past few months and evidence for this has been found. If we check out 31st December of last year, colon city of middle-east Asia in Germany had witnessed such an incident there. Some of the refugees had targeted some of the German girls during the New Year eve. And several of the German girls had reported about sexual assaults on them to the German police.
According to German police, it was all pre-planned and decided act committed. And they had a strong feeling and claimed that this was Taharrush for sure- which was slowly spreading to Europe now and other countries as well. The same incident was witnessed in Bangalore city of India last year. Again during the New Year eve, the same sought of cruelty was shown on girls.
What's horrible to watch in the Arabic countries is that the girls quietly accept this humiliation from the men in the name of religious practice. What sought of religious practice is this? Is assaulting a woman religious? Does your god allow this to be legal? I don't think such religions and law makers deserve to survive on earth.

Samsung's Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy Fold 2 Reportedly Launching Aug. 5
Photo: Sam Rutherford (Gizmodo)
With covid-19 having thrown a wrench practically every company's product launch timeline, it's impossible to predict when new gadgets might get announced. But according to multiple reports, Samsung is expected to announce the Galaxy Note 20 and the Galaxy Fold 2 in early August.
The latest rumors around Samsung's upcoming phones come from Korean news site Dong-A Ilbo and noted leaker Ice Universe on Weibo, who both claim Samsung will hold a virtual event on Aug. 5. Ice Universe predicts Samsung will announce a ton of new devices, including the Galaxy Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra, the Galaxy Fold 2, a 5G version of the Galaxy Z Flip, Galaxy Tab S7 and S7+, and the Galaxy Watch 2.
If the predictions prove true, this would be a blockbuster event that would combine all of Samsung's traditional late summer and fall announcements into one—due in part to the cancellation or postponement of a number of major tech tradeshows, like IFA, where Samsung traditionally launches new products.
Following lackluster sales of the Galaxy S20, Samsung may be under extra pressure to recoup lost revenue, especially in a year that has already seen phone sales plunge overall. While Samsung has yet to reveal any official details about the Galaxy Note 20, Ice Universe and Ross Young say the Galaxy Note 20 will come in two versions, with the base Galaxy Note 20 sporting a 6.42-inch, 3245 x 1084 screen and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra featuring a huge 6.87-inch, 3096 x 1444 display.
But more importantly, both phones will offer a 120HZ screen with a variable refresh rate, which means that, unlike the Galaxy S20, the Note 20 will be able to dynamically adjust its refresh rate depending on content to better balance performance and battery life.
Aside from an updated rear camera module and a smaller hole-punch selfie cam, based on product renders created from leaked by xleaks7 and Pigtou, not a ton appears to have changed about the Note 20's physical design.
The Galaxy Fold 2 will be the follow-up to last year's Galaxy Fold, and could show how far Samsung's flexible display technology has come since the company released its first foldable in late 2019. Then there are the Galaxy Tab S7 and Galaxy Watch 2, which should serve as timely updates to Samsung's previous flagship tablet and smartwatch—the original Galaxy Watch will be almost 2 years old in August, so we're curious to see what changes Samsung has in store for its wearables lineup.
If it happens, Samsung's August event could represent an almost complete overhaul of the electronics giant's mobile portfolio—even if some rumored devices don't make it on stage, we expect it to be a critical event for Samsung.

As a T-Mobile customer there is no where for me to physically test out the current Galaxy Fold.... I really want to see one in person.


There's a pre-close trading update out from Superdry this morning, reaffirming the situation given to the market almost a month ago. Global revenues are up 6.4% from a year earlier, but store sales are falling (online is more than compensating) and although last week's cold snap helped bolster some of those missing jumper and coat sales which have been dragging on performance, the company has added that it really needs a sustained spell of winter weather to kick start these lines.
Good news from satellite communications operator Inmarsat this morning with their Q3 update. Higher revenues and lower costs are creating something of the perfect tailwind for the business, allowing it to state that full year figures will at least be in line with market guidance. A strategic alliance with Panasonic in terms of in-flight communication for the aviation industry has seen stellar growth in this sector, helping reverse contraction in the maritime division.
Interim results out from J Sainsbury this morning look as if they're going to give shareholders something to cheer. The synergies off the back of the Argos acquisition are being realised faster than had been expected, like for like sales are increasing and pre-tax profits have jumped by 20%. Bank profits have fallen by over 50% although this was anticipated with previous guidance.
Will the retailer be left on the shelf following next week's results?

Kydd Selected for Vice Principal
By vikingsagapress 11 Sep 2019 13 Sep 2019
Leave a Comment on Kydd Selected for Vice Principal
DANIEL SINGER
For now vice principal Henry Kydd III, leaving behind teaching was one of the hardest decisions that he's ever had to make.
"There is a lot I'm going to miss about teaching….I'm going to miss the camaraderie that develops with a group of students in the classroom over the course of the year. I'm going to miss class discussion and seeing students light up when they are pushed to think about something in a new way. I'm going to miss my old classroom at lunch time – it was such a hub of activity with students, teachers, NHS [National Honors Society] kids, checkers club – all sorts of folks coming through to check in," said Mr. Kydd.
However, with this new job, Mr. Kydd does have a lot to look forward to when it comes to the interactions that he misses so dearly.
"I still plan on helping out with the Pep Rally, continuing to develop our Veterans Day Program, and doing whatever I can to promote positive vibes in our community – and I get to visit lots of classrooms and see teaching and learning from a new perspective," said Mr. Kydd.
As for applying for this position, the timing really couldn't have worked out better for Mr. Kydd. Just as former vice principal Laurie Zaneksi had announced her retirement, Mr. Kydd had just finished his 092 [administrative certification] from Sacred Heart University as his 6th year of education.
"…This seemed like a logical next move especially because the position was here at East Lyme which has been my home for 15 years. I wasn't looking to leave ELHS so the fact that there was a leadership position here was ideal," said Mr. Kydd.
As far as the rest of the building, everyone from teachers to students are extremely excited for this coming year with Mr. Kydd calling the shots.
"I'm so excited for Mr. Kydd becoming vice principal. I don't think they could have picked a better candidate for the job!" said Lori Singer, who worked with Mr. Kydd on the CIL (Curriculum Instructional Leaders) board.

Jim, really enjoyed your discussion on Red Ice Radio. Keep up the great work!
Pardon, my English is not good, so I use a machine.
I saw your book – The Mystery of the Universe – Resolved! – the univers – solved!
They portray theses that fit into the mainstream.
If you want, I can tell you about a completely different thesis that will surely interest you. From my point of view it is comprehensible for everyone without internal blockages.
If you prefer, I would like to give you more information.
I really enjoy the ideas you have espoused and find you share much in common with my own questions, ideas and conclusions regarding the bigger questions of reality.
For me it was simple to discover an entirely different perspective. The fact that "we" are not separate from nature or from the universe is evidence that the universe is also intelligent. I think that we are more like an algorithm within nature, simply doing what nature is already doing, namely, creating, evolving, affecting the environment (in good ways and "bad") all for the purpose of overall blance and evolution of the system as a whole. We are just one expression of the universe.
And as a pretty complex work of evolution as we are on this planet, our creations reflect nature. We create classical and quantum computers. For example, our Quantum computers simply exploit superposition in order to make faster calculations. In a quantum computer, the information is represented by physical states that are sufficiently microscopic and isolated so that they obey the laws of quantum mechanics. The spin of a single electron or the configuration of an individual ion, for example, are two among many possible candidates for storing such a quantum bit (or qubit) of information. So its not so much as "the universe is like a computer" but more like "our computers are like the universe". This is why digital physics is a great model for describing the universe.
We know that even if you take a materialistic worldview on, you cant escape the fact that our reality is nothing like we assume it to be. Our minds are like a virtual reality creating computer. Materialist science admits that we reconstruct reality from this supposed reality that exists "out there" and interprets the energy into a 3 dimensional full color, stereo sounding, touchy, feely, solid version of that reality. Its not really any of these things. There is no color as we experience it, there is no sound as we hear it and the meaning we infer from this environment is a result from how we evolved in order to navigate this world effectively. We obviously didnt evolve in order to perceive reality as it really is.
But by using the "language of the universe", mathematics, we are able to know that all isnt what it seems but underneath everything is a calculation!. Our tools of science only confirms this to be the case. And this blaring message of scientific progress only highlights what the mystics have been telling us all along. The deeper we are able to look into this reality, the more we realize that underneath it all is pure intelligence.
I really appreciate the thoughts and truth seeking that Jim is sharing with the world, based on what we know about the universe so far. And I love the perspective you shared that we are part of, as individual expressions of, this evolving universe of pure intelligence – as mystics and the faithfuls have believed for thousands of years, knowing much less science than we do today. As future generations learn much more about the universe, with the help of Quantum computers and technologies not yet invented, the truth has always been there, waiting for us to discover and apply.
The realization that we are not separate, we have choice, and we can make a positive impact to the universe is the start of manifesting a worthy purpose during our lifetime. If we further realize that we all can "tune in" to the infinite intelligence of the universe with our built in "emotional radio", then we can grow and live as we are meant to, perhaps even "fulfill our destiny". Conventional radios use electromagnetic waves to communicate, theorized by Maxwell in 1864, later developed by Marconi and others. The "emotional radio" I describe is something that can be universally felt by people of any race or country. One end of the spectrum we can feel are emotions like love, the positive energy, the other end are emotions like hate, anger… the negative energy. I sense the negative energy is based on us thinking we are separate from others and separate from the universe, hence based on the EGO, the self-identity of being separate, hence naturally selfish, greedy, jealous, fearful. Ego or negative energy with power is destructive. Love or positive energy with power is constructive and creative.
Once we realize we can control of our emotional radio (ER) rather than letting our circumstances, or people around us control it, we can practice consciously centering it on the channel love or positive energy, and tap into the intelligence and power of the universe to live a fulfilling life while we are here.

RED PILLS
A Century of Mainstream Media Lies
By James Perloff
As technology has advanced, so have weapons of mass deception
Newspapers were the first vehicle that mainstream media (MSM) used to manipulate Americans into war. The Spanish-American War (1898) was fought over Cuba, which had been a colony of Spain since 1511. By the 19th century, Cuba had become the world's wealthiest colony and largest sugar producer, and its assets were coveted by the Illuminist cabal, which also wanted Spain neutered as a world power. National City Bank, then America's preeminent bank, controlled the McKinley White House, loaned the government $200 million to fight the war, and took control of Cuba's sugar industry afterwards (see Ferdinand Lundberg's classic 1937 book, America's Sixty Families).
To get young men to fight and die in Cuba for the banksters, it was necessary to persuade Americans – for the first time – that the U.S. military's duty was not only self-defense, but "righting wrongs" overseas. It was before and during this war that the media honed a skill that would prove perennially useful: manufacturing fake atrocity stories.
The "Yellow Press," as it was then appropriately called, was spearheaded by William Randolph Hearst's New York Journal and Joseph Pulitzer's New York World. Together they fabricated outlandish atrocity tales about Cuba, such as Spaniards roasting Catholic priests. On October 6, 1896, Hearst's Journal carried this headline: "CUBANS FED TO SHARKS. Cries Heard at Night – They are Taken Outside the Harbor, and the Silent Ferryman Comes Back Alone." Pulitzer's World raved: "RAIDED A HOSPITAL– More than Forty Sick and Wounded Cubans Butchered." But no hospital even existed in the region the World described.
Hearst's reporters rarely ventured outside Havana's bars. Some never even traveled beyond Florida, where they forwarded tales spun by Cuban émigrés. And some stories Hearst invented himself in New York.
Hearst (above) discovered that atrocities against women struck a special chord with readers. In December 1896 his Journal blared: "BUTCHERED 300 CUBAN WOMEN – Defenseless Prisoners Shot Down by Spanish Soldiers."
Newspapers could not reproduce photographs then; they published drawings. In a primitive precursor to Photoshopping, Hearst "authenticated" stories with artists' fabrications. Having money to burn, he hired celebrated painter Frederic Remington. After Remington arrived in Havana in 1897, a famous exchange occurred. Reportedly, he cabled Hearst: "Everything is quiet. There is no trouble. There will be no war. I wish to return." Hearst replied: "Please remain. You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war." Although Hearst denied this exchange took place, the words embodied the reality.
Perhaps Remington's most infamous illustration: a naked girl surrounded by three Spanish ruffians, under Hearst's Journal headline: "REFINED YOUNG WOMEN STRIPPED AND SEARCHED BY BRUTAL SPANIARDS WHILE UNDER OUR FLAG." In reality, a Cuban woman, who had aided revolutionaries, had been searched on a ship by a Spanish matron, in privacy. Remington had not witnessed the event.
Depictions such as these built up the anti-Spain fervor which exploded along with the Maine in February 1898; America went to war.
The Illuminati follow the principle "stick with a winner." What worked to drive Americans into the Spanish-American War would work to embroil them in World War I. And so we went from the Maine to the Lusitania, and from Spaniards roasting Cubans to Germans cutting hands off Belgian children, and other contrived atrocities.
Poster propaganda reached its apex in World War I.
What Americans didn't know: the first $400 million from the "Liberty Bonds" they purchased went directly into J. P Morgan's pockets, to satisfy war debts owed him by Great Britain. (Lundberg, America's Sixty Families, p. 141)
Art was also used to depict the enemy as subhuman (animals are easier to kill).
C'mon, boys, look at that Spaniard trample Old Glory! You aren't going to let him get away with that, are you?
Boys, see that damsel in distress? Are you going to let the kraut get away with that?
Moving pictures had arrived by World War I, creating a new venue for propaganda, such as The Cry of Peace (1915), which depicted invading Huns molesting New York City's maidens:
C'mon, boys, are you going to let them get away with that?
Between the world wars, radio emerged as a new medium which, behind the bait of entertainment, could pump live propaganda directly into homes.
It is possible that Orson Welles' The War of the Worlds – perhaps the most famous radio broadcast of all time – was intended to gauge public response to fake news. In an eery foreshadowing of today's faux news and crisis actors, Welles simulated a newscast that "interrupted" a musical program to announce an invasion by Martians. Massive, horrific deaths from the aliens' weapons were vividly described. As the "news story" progressively unfolded, "newsmen," "witnesses," and government and military "officials" all gave accounts as if the events were real. The broadcast led to widespread panic.
Although the program began with a brief explanation that it was fictional, a second disclaimer was not aired until 40 minutes later. The wily Welles knew that many people flipped their radios from station to station (just as they do now with TV). Having missed the first disclaimer, many would assume the news was real.
The program aired just one month after the famous "Munich Agreement" of 1938; the pressure for war had accelerated in Illuminist circles, and Americans were about to be inundated with renewed "German invasion" hysteria.
If that connection seems a stretch, the original novel The War of the Worlds had been written by arch-Fabian socialist H. G. Wells, who in 1914 published The War that Will End War, which became World War I's propaganda slogan. And the radio script was written by Howard Koch, who later wrote the screenplay for the most flagrantly pro-Soviet film ever made, Mission to Moscow, which depicted the USSR as a bastion of freedom, and even justified Stalin's show trials and invasion of Finland. Koch also wrote the script for Sergeant York, the story of a World War I soldier who had been reluctant to enlist but ended up a hero; "coincidentally," that film was released six weeks before Pearl Harbor. Koch eventually served a stint on the Hollywood blacklist.
World War II used every propaganda venue: newspapers, radio, movies.
Newsprint had come far since the Spanish-American War. Photographs could now be printed, and the public too trustingly assumed that these, unlike Hearst's drawings and World War I posters, were fake-proof ("seeing is believing"). The "Shanghai baby" went viral in 1937, reportedly seen by 136 million people, and had profound impact on American sentiments favoring China and against Japan.
The Japanese, however, charged that the photo was staged, and a number of American journalists, such as Arthur Rothstein, eventually concurred. The photographer, H. S. "Newsreel" Hong, was employed by the Hearst Corporation ("You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war").
Radio fakery continued also. The war's most famous broadcast was Winston Churchill's "We Shall Fight Them on the Beaches" speech. However, this stirring oration, like many others credited to Churchill, was actually an impersonation by BBC actor Norman Shelley.
The ultimate opinion mover was, of course, movies. Our Enemy: The Japanese, narrated by Joseph Grew (CFR), described the Japanese as obsessed with world conquest (while the footage showed Japanese harmlessly eating with chopsticks and boarding subways).
Hollywood's vulgar racist stereotypes of the "enemy," now generally acknowledged, need not be recounted here.
The disastrous Vietnam War, which should not – repeat, not – be confused with other wars, commenced just as TV ownership surpassed 90 percent of American homes. Known as the "first television war," it was the only war in which the MSM turned its propaganda tools against the U.S. military. The coverage was instrumental in generating the chaotic divisiveness that launched the downward transformation of American culture and values.
Today's media is more consolidated than ever. Six giant corporations own 90 percent of MSM, a point underscored by this footage of newscasters from various stations reading identical lines:
Politicians are no less centrally controlled. Watch the prime ministers of Australia and Canada giving identical speeches on Iraq:
The Illuminati know a prewritten script is more reliable than unrehearsed remarks. That's why President Obama always reads from a teleprompter:
The President is similar to a movie actor, reading scripted lines as though "spontaneous." But just like Obama's teleprompter gaffs, the news media encounters its own scripting slipups. Many believe this happened on 9/11, when a BBC commentator reported the collapse of Building No. 7 twenty minutes before it happened:
Of course, the collapse of this 47-story steel frame structure, in 6.6 seconds, even though not hit by a plane, remains extremely controversial.
A script calls for actors. "Witnesses" can be quite effective, as when false testimony about Iraqi soldiers throwing Kuwaiti babies out of incubators spurred American support for the 1991 Gulf War. It was eventually proven that the "anonymous" Congressional witness was Nayirah al-Sabah, the daughter of Kuwait's ambassador to the U.S., and had been coached on her tearful testimony by the global public relations firm Hill & Knowlton:
The Kuwaiti incubator hoax demonstrated that, once again, the Illuminati were "sticking with a winner." The "Belgian children's hands cut off" and the "Shanghai baby" had proven that baby atrocity stories are a tried-and-true, proven winner in the propaganda marketplace.
When the Powers that Be geared up for war on Syria's Assad, the BBC and CNN used the same witness over and over: British-accented "Syria Danny," who traveled around reusing the same props and fake sound effects of "shellings." This video exposes Danny:
I am not suggesting that real atrocities do not occur. THEY DO, AND ON A MASSIVE SCALE. But the genuine atrocities are usually censored. If you want to see how a real bombing victim reacts, watch the Iraqi woman starting at 22:05 of this video.
Syria Danny's fake pre-recorded "explosions" were reminiscent of CNN's Charles Jaco's broadcasts during the 1991 Gulf War, which this footage, including embarrassing outtakes, has called into question:
Lest anyone thinks CNN wouldn't deliberately fool viewers, watch this clip exposing two newscasters pretending to converse via satellite when they're actually in the same parking lot:
"Green screens" give reporters another means of pretending to be elsewhere, as is suspected of this recent CNN "on the water" reporting on the Ukraine crisis:
Collusion between media and government should surprise no one. Operation Mockingbird, the CIA's program of media recruitment and control begun in the 1950s, was widely admitted even within MSM. It has recently been reported that CIA payments to journalists continue. Watch correspondent Ken Herman question President George Bush, Jr. on government-produced footage presented as television "news":
In George Orwell's 1984, televisions continually broadcast fake news in accordance with government wishes. The "death" of Bin Laden on May 2, 2011, marked a major step in this direction. Just 17 days earlier, a Gallup Poll had shown President Obama's approval ratings at an all-time low. Allegedly Bin Laden headed the world's largest terror network. If so, capturing him alive should have been top priority, since he would have been a goldmine of information. Instead Bin Laden was reportedly shot dead, and the government immediately proclaimed it had dumped his body into the ocean – guaranteeing the body could never be viewed and its identity verified. Although "leaked" photos of Bin Laden's bullet-ridden body quickly surfaced in the press, analysis demonstrated these were old pictures that had been Photoshopped.
The use of actors to fake reality is an emerging art. Politicians utilize them often, as shown in this compilation of people "fainting" during Obama's (and Hillary's) speeches, with Obama compassionately ensuring they are taken care of:
If those examples aren't enough, this clip includes more with some repeats.
Just as Hollywood casting departments screen-test actors for specific roles, so can the government, whose budget dwarfs Hollywood's. Most disturbing are allegations that actors are employed as witnesses and participants in false-flag events, a process satirized in the 1997 movie Wag the Dog:
CNN certainly appears to have interviewed the same woman as a witness to both the Boston Marathon bombing and the Watertown shootout with the suspects four days later:
Even more engaging is Betsy McGee's video on Steve Silva as "super witness" to both the Boston Marathon bombing and 9/11:
Betsy has also produced a long but insightful video on Boston Marathon bombing notable Carlos Arredondo.
Of course, now we have war with ISIS. And public sentiment has been swayed to support it through the usual means: highly publicized atrocities, in this case viral beheading videos, whose authenticity many have challenged.
It was only last year that a previous attempt was made to bomb Syria. That was based on a different atrocity claim – that Assad was using chemical weapons on his own people. But many believed it was the Western-backed insurgents themselves who wielded the weapons as a "false flag," a view thought credible by Ron Paul, Pat Buchanan, and many other responsible observers. The fake testimony of "Syria Danny" had proven unconvincing. Americans overwhelmingly opposed the air strikes Obama sought on Syria.
So it was back to the drawing board. Now we have ISIS beheadings, and Obama has air strikes on Syria. After the first video proved effective on public opinion, more kept appearing. "Stick with a winner"?
Question: If ISIS wants to consolidate its control in that sector of the Middle East, why would it upload viral videos showing beheadings of American and British victims, knowing this could only result in bringing the full might of the Anglo-American war machine against itself? Somewhere I hear William Randolph Hearst saying: "You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war."
The public needs to decide which media to listen to:
• corporate media, hired to produce propaganda that will advance geopolitical agendas; or
• unpaid alternative media, whose goal is to discover the truth.

The following is the eleventh and last article in the series "Marketing Like the Big Brands," in which marketing expert Jim Joseph shows entrepreneurs on a small-business budget how to apply marketing strategies used by big brands.
Setting goals is crucial to the success of your brand and as a small-business owner, the responsibility falls squarely on your shoulders. That said, your day is probably filled with important tasks like solving problems and fulfilling customers' needs real-time.
I can relate. Running my own agency, As hard as I try, I still find myself putting out day-to-day fires more often than I'm actually doing long-term strategic planning.
The big brands spend a lot of time planning, probably too much, to be honest. They have planning sessions to talk about how to plan. They hire teams of people whose job it is to plan.
And they are on to something. Without setting goals, we are just living moment-to-moment, crisis-to-crisis. You won't get ahead if you manage your business that way.
The good news is: a little bit of planning can go a long way, no matter how busy we are. It's important to get past the day-to-day and do a little planning, at least beyond the next few weeks or months where we tend to concentrate most of our effort. You can't have a plan without goals so let's start by setting some.
What do you want your business to look like five, ten or even fifteen years from now?
What's the finish line for your business?
Without setting these goals, your brand will be purposeless. On the other hand, clearly articulated goals can get you get beyond the current issues and complete long-term accomplishments.
It's never too early to start anticipating and planning what you want to accomplish in the next twelve months. I recommend you also plan for the year after as well, so you can see beyond the one year horizon. Some goals take a little longer to achieve, and we have to plan far ahead to make them happen.
Ideally, I recommend a three-year plan, which will give you concrete steps to make your long-term vision come to life.
Your marketing plan should be no more than five or six pages, nothing more complicated is required. If you make the planning too much work, you'll never get it done. A focused concise plan is so much better than a drawn-out one or none at all.
Your three-year plan should become a living, breathing document of what the business is all about, what needs to get accomplished over the short and long term. This three-year plan should also include all the lessons you've learned along the way, with revised thinking about your business as a result.
Do this exercise annually, and not only will you have an incredible brand experience for the customer, but a great growth surge for your business.
It's been incredibly rewarding putting together this series of branding articles for Entrepreneur.com. I invite you to engage in my next series focused on personal branding that kicks off next week. See you there!
