Apparently, there’s a Protocols of the Elders of Zion app for Android.
Here’s the full description:
The document known now as The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is one of the most important documents ever to come to light in the world. In fact, it can be described as the blueprint for the domination of the world by a secret brotherhood …
There’s been a public outcry over a similar app in the iTunes store … but it’s in Arabic and only available in the European iTunes store. I searched for it here in the U.S. and the only thing that comes up is an eBook with the following description:
“The Protocols of the Elders of Zion is one of the world’s most famous conspiracy theories. It is a statement of prejudice and paranoia, a fake historical record and a grand hoax all rolled into one. The Protocols claim to prove that there is a Jewish plot to take over the world and purport to show that socialism, liberalism and every other reformist idea or activity are just tools of a Jewish secret cabal. The Protocols have been discredited many times over their 110-year-old history and would be laughable, except for the tragic role they played in the Twentieth Century.”

Should we expect an On the Jews and Their Lies app any time soon? This stuff probably isn’t that dangerous, right? It’s not like anti-Semitism is on the rise again or anything….
can someone with an android phone report this please?

The 21st Century version of "blood diamonds" are in our electronics →
The 21st Century version of “blood diamonds” are in our electronics Most people are familiar with the illicit trade of “blood diamonds”, but few are aware of the “other” blood trade: illegally sold minerals. These minerals are crucial to the aerospace, electronics, and manufacturing industries, and their illegal sales are used to finance political militias that murder civilians in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Until now, there’s been no way to “fingerprint” these materials to determine their origin. But now scientists may have found a way… using lasers. Back in 2010, Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act to prevent companies from inadvertently funding wars through the purchase of what are called “conflict minerals.” The Act requires firms to verify that their products contain no cassiterite, columbite-tantalite, wolframite, or gold obtained from the DRC and its neighbors. This has proven easier said than done, because legitimate mining operations are often located near militia-controlled ones.
