The most significant geopolitical event of the day is the east Ukraine independence referendum taking place in various cities across the region, less than two months after the Crimean case study which saw the region split away from Ukraine and join Russia, despite the fervent warnings by Kiev and the west that the result of the “rigged election” would not be accepted by anyone. As it turned out then, it only needed to be accepted by Russia which promptly took over the Black Sea territory.

Despite popular belief, very few things in our world are exactly what they seem. That which is painted as righteous is often evil. That which is painted as kind is often malicious.

Regardless, if a person is willing to look only at the immediate surface of a thing, he will never understand the content of the thing.

A number of Sandy Hook skeptics recently traveled to Newtown Connecticut to question the school board about the many issues surrounding the official story of the alleged 2012 mass shooting. The CT Post wrote an incredibly biased article about the event claiming the audience was largely disgusted with the skeptics which didn’t seem to be the case if you watch the video. Only one guy spoke denouncing the skeptics and he had no real facts or information to provide. He just whined about a circus coming to town causing only a few people to loudly clap.

While the average U.S. consumer may be unfamiliar with Alibaba and its operations, Tuesday’s F-1 filing gives a clearer look into a business that accounts for 80% off all Chinese e-commerce and will rank among the world’s largest technology firms–among them IBM IBM -0.34% and Oracle ORCL -0.98%–once it goes public. Analysts recently polled by Bloomberg News valued the company at nearly $170 billion, while some expect that valuation to surpass $250 billion, once it starts trading.
