Fantastic Lies: the Russia Ruse Runs out of Rope - Link
Editor's Note: it has recently come to my attention that a very small number of people are using an RSS feed that's tied to this blog to follow my website. Unfortunately, I have as of late stopped using Blogger b/c it's very clunky and largely extraneous to the work on ninaillingworth.com. Although I can't promise how long I'll keep it up, I'll post links to my last few articles here in bare-bones form for anyone still following on the RSS feed.

Wall of Shame: New Year’s Update Special
Editor's Note: well, I haven't exactly been good about keeping this site updated even though ninaillingworth.com has had many posts since I last put a teaser up here. I'm trying harder to make better use of my limited advertising resources in 2017 however - so I'm back; as before these will not be complete posts but rather excerpts and links back to my main site.
Hello and Happy New Year! As regular readers know, one of the most popular features here on ninaillingworth.com is our constantly expanding Wall of Shame; a humorous, no holds barred look at the simpering pack of mendacious liars, shills and sycophants that pass for the American free press in what is now clearly, one of the most corrupt times in history.
Over the past few months of compiling tweets and writing updates; I’ve often been asked why I didn’t include numerous, objectively hilarious tweets by accomplished Wall of Shame “honorees” and in most cases, it’s simply because the tweet was published after I’d already written-up a given entry – with so many “worthy” but unrecognized nominees still roaming the wilds of Twitter; it’s awful hard to justify going back to get “better” bad tweets from people we’ve already enshrined.
In light of the above, and in no small way influenced by the consumption of copious quantities of alcohol; I thought it might be fun to compile a mass Wall of Shame update composed of one stunningly obtuse or dishonest tweet from each of our current, inducted Wall of Shamers – a sort of “where are these dipshits now” shout out to celebrate the New Year by counting coup on craven, chunder-headed collaborators; I even included some bonus links and an official, ninaillingworth.com suggested New Year’s resolution for each honoree:

Info Meme of the Week: Statistically Speaking, Bill Clinton is a Rapist
Editor’s note: after a couple days off to hang out with my kitty and recharge my batteries, we’re back with another edition of our Info-Meme of the Week; a (semi) new weekly feature where we a look at one issue or scandal largely being misreported in the media in the form of a single, easy-to-share meme that’s backed up by a few verifiable sources underneath the photo. No rants, speeches or explanations required – just the facts, in one quick snapshot you can show revisionist historian media personalities to force them to stop repeating obvious deceptions.
This week’s Info-Meme takes a look at a chilling truth about former President and potential “Economy Czar” in a likely Hillary Clinton administration, Bill Clinton; who’s long history of sexual conquests have recently made the news as part of the 2016 election campaign. What is not making nearly enough headlines however is that philandering aside, it is in fact almost statistically impossible (based on the sheer number of accusations levied) that Bill Clinton is not an actual mutherfucking rapist.
Please note: you can find sources for all the information presented in this meme below and if you’re having trouble reading the image, left click on it and select “view image” to pop out a larger version – let’s examine the horrifying, but rarely discussed history of sexual assault allegations against Bill Clinton:

Tales from the American DMZ: It’s (Almost) All Economics
Editor’s Note: warning; this is going to be a long, rambling discussion and at the end of it, you may well be inclined to question my sanity; I’m not sure I’ve ever written a “thinkpiece” before and I’m only doing so now because of the tremendous weight on my conscience not discussing these issues has created.
I have never had any desire to be perceived as any sort of “pinko Alex Jones” style conspiracy theorist and I have no intention of doing so today; this article will be sourced quite heavily and I strongly encourage you to at least skim the links I’ve provided to back up what will no doubt appear to preposterous claims if you haven’t been following the news intently for several years.
This is new ground for me and frankly, I’m not really sure where the editor’s note ends and the article begins this time – so I ask that you bear with me while I try to get a handle on just what it is we’re doing here.
Surrendering My Silence
If the truth be known, I’ve avoided these topics for a number of reasons that are probably still valid today; not the least of which is that some parts of the story aren’t really mine to tell. This is in part a discussion about economics and I am not an economist; it’s also in part a discussion about systemic racism that signals who in our society the police are allowed to abuse for profit (and why) – as a white (albeit post-op trans) woman living abroad; there’s a legitimate question in my mind whether what I have to say on this subject would be, or even should be taken seriously.
Finally, I’ve avoided these discussions because quite frankly they are just so damn big and so damn heavy, it is utterly terrifying to imagine even starting such a conversation. A whole bunch of the things I want to say to you guys are going to sound too evil to even contemplate believing if you haven’t done the research; even discussing what it all means involves, by necessity, projecting into our collective future. I’m a smart girl, I can make educated guesses but I’m by no means exaggerating even slightly when I say we live in *the* most corrupt time in our nation’s (if not global) history and the problems we’re about to face simply have no direct historical reference; although there are similarities that we can and will examine over time.
So, I have continued on with my safe facts, catching easy lies and focusing on the utter farce that is the American political class; keeping my head down and actively avoiding the role of unwanted doomsayer. Yet continually over time, the truth has picked away at the corners of my consciousness as I read more about unpunished violations, the (perceived) stability of our economic systems and the dark history of policing in America.
Yesterday I finally hit my breaking point as I realized that I could no longer escape the simple reality I’d been too afraid to write down until this moment; although the rise of the American police state (and similar systems throughout the western world) is typically portrayed in the news as either an unfortunate consequence of “rising” crime, or the misguided behavior of “a few rotten apples” – there truthfully exists a great deal of evidence that violent, militarized police forces who don’t give a flying fuck about civil liberties are in fact a purposeful outcome of the modern corporate-capitalist state; hey, I warned you this was going to get heavy, didn’t I?
The truth is, I don’t rightly know where to start and the sheer size of what we’re talking about probably means I’ll never finish; but I do know that I can no longer remain silent as the world around me turns into a real time, live-action production of V for Vendetta right in front of my eyes. Therefore, because I don’t even know where the beginning of this discussion lies, I’ll start with a very simple question that we can hopefully build some future discussions on – “considering the obvious political consequences and blatant social negatives; why would anyone (even corrupt government officials and their greedy corporate masters) want to create and empower a police state in the western world?”
