Good O’l Amy on Democracy Now still quotes the White Helmets
I have heard her use White Helmets on at least 2 occations
I can’t think of any better name for this than the William Randolph Hearst awards, or the Hearsties for short. Maybe the Duranty’s would be a close second?
Or if we’re giving out dinosaurs why not call it the fake Archaeoraptors?
Spot on selections. Great nominations. Very funny. Very sad. Very scary. In some ways very hopeful. I for one am grateful, James. Yes. May these awards continue.
As chance would have it, an angry, bearded man-in-a-suit, waiving a bloodthirsty carnivorous dinosaur and threatening specific violent acts, just happens to be one of my Monarch Programming triggers.
I have switched to the appropriate alter and am carrying out the operation now. I will report back anything I am allowed to remember.
Still, I think it’s “The Dino” and must stay “The Dino” forever.
The REAL Fake News Awards would have to be The Most Entertaining/Alarming/Sobering/Enraging/Enlightening awards show ever! Many thanks James, and to all who contributed.
Looking forward to your critique of The Dino-Guardian’s Fakey-fakety-fake WH article… with every cloud, a silver lining 🙂
I’m really looking forward to the White Helmets expose, James. Keep up the great work!
Yep White Helmets collated evidence (nightmare) very much welcomed. Have not thought it through, sure you will, but could it morph into a “conspiracy theory” video? Just a thought. Thanks for the golden dino’s 🙂
So…the Nunes memo is released, and the most interesting part for me is the role that the Yahoo News played in the legitimization of the Steele Dossier.
So…in an effort to get to the bottom of why Yahoo News would use the author of the Dossier as a source to vouch for its legitimacy, I called them: (Yahoo is now Altaba):
This telephone number says the company has been sold to Verizon and Altaba:
https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0001426140&owner=exclude&count=40
Here’s the current Investor relations page:
https://about.yahoo.co.jp/ir/en/
Here’s the info from the SEC regarding their ownership, registration and current number:
http://www.secinfo.com/$/SEC/Registrant.asp?CIK=1011006&View=Registrant
“Altaba Inc.
(Exact name of registrant as specified in its charter)
Delaware 811-23264 77-0398689
(State or other jurisdiction
of incorporation)
(Commission
File Number)
(IRS Employer
Identification No.)
140 East 45th Street, 15th Floor, New York, New York 10017
(Address of principal executive offices) (Zip Code)
Registrants telephone number, including area code (646) 679-2000”
The nice lady who answered at the “investor relations line” told me that I would have to call their outside PR firm for their response at this number: 212 3781 5999. The name of the executive that handles that “client” is a guy named Alan, for whom I left a message and am waiting his reply.
I’m just posting this in case anyone else wants to try to get an answer about why Yahoo took part in this deception and what they have to say for themselves:
From the NUNES memo:
—-BTW, whats REALLY interesting is the propaganda that Yahoo News CONTINUES to pump out EVEN in light of these revelations…WOW:
https://www.startpage.com/do/search?q=yahoo+news+nunes —-
Anyway…here’s the text of the memo that describes Yahoo News role:
From the second page of the now unclassified memo:
https://www.vox.com/2018/2/2/16957588/nunes-memo-released-full-text-read-pdf-declassified
“The Carter Page FISA application also cited extensively a September 23, 2016 YAHOO NEWS article
by Michael Isikoff, which focuses on Page’s July 2016 trip to Moscow. (bold and underlined:) This article does not corroborate the Steele dossier because it is derived from information leaked by Steele himself to Yahoo News. The FISA application incorrectly assess that Steele did not directly provide information to Yahoo News. Steele has admitted in british court filings that he met with Yahoo News –and several other outlets in September 2016 at the direction of Fusion GPS. Perkins Coie was aware of Steele’s initial media contacts because they hosted at least one meeting in Washington D.C. in 2016 with Steele and Fusion GPS where this matter was discussed.”
If that’s not fake news, I”m not sure what is. Maybe someone else already suggested this as a candidate for the award, but if not there ya go. Maybe next go-round it will be considered.
The FAKE NEWS AWARD maybe could be given to the very foundation of the worst political disaster the country has experienced even before Watergate. Maybe that’s an exaggeration, maybe not….but in any case, someone should call Yahoo News on their bullshit. It’s still spewing as we speak.
If anyone gets in touch with Yahoo News or Isikoff for a comment I’d appreciate hearing about it. Otherwise if anyone has Isikoff’s telephone number..I’ll call him myself and let you know what he has to say.
Thanks for all this community does.
The reason no one was crying over the great number of mother/baby polar bear deaths in 1974 was because there were no carbon credits to trade and from which to profit. Therefore, no MSM marketing BS.
Woah James, you got really red in the face about the Bana Alabed story/award. Agree–psyop BS from the usual suspects. I, too, was disgusted by the use of the child as a pawn.
The ridiculous UFO lie, shaky images and all? No one is paying attention because that story was too stupid for anyone’s attention. All those involved, including the To The Stars Academy and the insiders, were just another psyop befitting the entire stupid lot of them.
I suppose I won’t get to be afeared of the Russia boogieman truths as stated by the usual suspects as I don’t use social media.
And, thank the gods for Eva Bartlett, et al when it came to the White Helmet story BS. At least Eva was able to lay that ugly bag of snakes out in a straight line.
James, I hope you actually ship these awards to the corporate heads of each corporation winner. (Glad to see the bug didn’t get you for long.)
So no surprise we see the first Bing result for Eva Bartlett giving us this: https://www.channel4.com/news/factcheck/factcheck-eva-bartletts-claims-about-syrian-children .
What is sad, but great though is the top current comment:
“The white helmets have been widely debunked, set up by PMC’s, widely filmed ‘staging’ rescues, mostly unknown by those coming out of Aleppo into the West. Funded and collaborating with the rebels – ie Al Nusra Daesh. The same men can be seen in the staged picture of the boy in the Ambulance as well as the unfortunately NOT staged video of the 12yr old boy being beheaded, Filmed at the execution of captured Syrian soldiers and execution of civilians. The truth is coming out. Shame on channel 4 for not doing their homework, whatever happened to investigative journalism? My husband was in Aleppo last week interviewing refugees from E to W Aleppo – the few who had heard of them said the White helmets worked mostly with the terrorists. BTW, he offered to film and be interviewed by you on the ground in E Aleppo and will still if you actually want to know the truth…..You have no reporters on the ground!”
A bit wow. But also so sad.
Good post.
un honourable mention to the PM of of Canada for attending a false flag against a young Islam girl.

Update on Isikoff response to the Nunes memo release and his “secret meeting” with Steele:
The head of Yahoo News as well as his Chief Investigative Reporter, Isikoff do 45 minutes on their response to the memo release and cover ass non-stop:

Listening now..”I didn’t know” that the Hillary Clinton campaign paid for the research….., etc, etc…
Here’s an actual link to the September 23, 2016 article that Isikoff wrote for Yahoo News that is central to the newly released Nunes Memo…read it for yourself: (I haven’t found this anywhere else):

Thank you, James, for the great selections, nominations, support-videos and the engaging-narration of sombre content within Corbett humour. Encourages year-round critical-thinking and research instead of being passive-receptors. I look forward to the 2018 Awards.
I wholeheartedly second those comments from Philomen and will add that JC is bang right to feel so angry that it has become ‘acceptable’ to pimp out a child as a means of adding fuel to a corrupt proganda machine. It’s utterly heartbreaking.
Here is a piece of fake news that may have won Mr. Corbett’s dino for 2003….. It involves the capture of Sadamm. It was reported that he was caught in December 2003. However, the fig tree in the background had yellow fruit on it in a photo of 2 US Soldiers looking at the hole. The fruit on those trees had yellow fruit which turn that color in August or September. Here is a link if interested….http://www.spiritofmaat.com/announce/ann_spiderhole.htm
Very interesting observation.
Damn it James, now my 3D printer is going to have to be really busy churning out fake golden dinos to award the local media with!
Woah James, the flu bug has manifested into “The Corbett Report” . And I share your total disgust at the child abuse. There is no funny to be found there. The expression on the mothers face is in itself the telltale signs of abuse . This is not a poster child and burning bed abused wife of a religion of tolerance and mercy.
What has happened to the Guardian? Go for it, they shall too suffer the manifestion of the Koyoto flu.
Hope you get well soon.
You had an emotional quality, Mr Corbett, in this video, that made me think of Dan Ackroyd’s character at his very lowest moment in that silly movie ‘Trading Places’… When he takes a bite out of a dirty synthetic fur-covered smoked salmon tucked into his Santa suit and then growls at bystanders…
Exquisitely cathartic but one can never do commensurate injustice to such colossal cynicism.
Love watching you try though! Keep up your ever-inspiring efforts and my heartfelt thanks to you yet again!!
“…he takes a bite out of a dirty synthetic fur-covered smoked salmon tucked into his Santa suit and then growls at bystanders…Exquisitely cathartic…”
Yes! Sometimes you just have to turn around and let them have it!

James,
Tell your son “Thankyou” for his contribution towards the “Dino Awards”.
I bet he got them back. Or another set.
Every time I turned on the light for years, a very similar T-Rex and Friends leered at me from a prime high alcove in the garage, before I was finally given permission to donate them to a younger cultist idolator.
wow…..you are different and more powerful since your flu. Keep up your fight against fake news. Thank you.
Can’t wait for the report on the White Helmets. Great episode as always. Thanks.
This article was just sent to me today and I just had to post it as a fake news candidate for 2018: Bloomberg article.
