Is Huma Really Stumped, Or Just Scared Shitless ???

Anyone out there feel sorry for Huma Abedin? I don't.

With the FBI having obtained a warrant to begin poring over the 650,000 reported emails found on Anthony Weiner's computer, attention shifts to just what the FBI may find, with Democrats alleging that much of the thousands of emails allegedly sent from Huma Abedin's computer are duplicates or otherwise innocuous, while critics alleging more deleted and/or confidential emails may emerge. On her, behalf, however, long-time Hillary aide Huma Abedin has told the FBI she was not aware any of her emails were on the laptop investigators seized as part of its probe info Anthony Weiner's investigation.

According to Politico, the FBI engaged in a back and forth over the weekend with Abedin or her attorney, when Abedin explained the situation.

"She says she didn't know they were there," a source familiar with the investigation said. This is a sensitive topic for Abedin and the Clinton campaign, because on previous occasions, Huma - under oath - disclosed that all the emails in her possession had been accounted for and handed over to the FBI.

650,000 emails don't just "magically" show up on a personal computer. If Huma didn't put them there, then Weiner or someone else did; once again clearly demonstrating that Hillary and her crew were grossly negligent in their handling of classified and/or official government emails.

And there is another pattern here. Can you see it, too?

• Hillary commits crimes while her "husband" assaults and rapes women.
• Huma commits crimes while her "husband" sends nude pictures to women.
• And it's not limited to the Clinton family. Remember that Barney Frank claimed he did not know his roommate was running a gay prostitution ring out of their apartment.

Washington DC is rotten to the core. It's time for Trump (or someone else) to clean up the mess. And I can't see how it could be done without jail time for all the criminals. Can you?

It Is EASY To Hack A Voting Machine

Here is an eye-opening revelation:

Since the “Help America Vote Act” in 2002, tallying votes in our elections has become dependent on machines that sometimes  leave no paper trail. Manufacturers have “proprietary” programs and will not let any public officials or independent experts examine them.

On a cold winter day in 2007, Andrew Appel, a Princeton computer professor and election specialist, changed the outcome on one of these machines in seven minutes. He proved something that should alarm everyone: in effect, it took seven minutes per machine to steal an election.

I am 100% in favor of returning to the old voting machines which produced a verifiable record of the votes.

Computers suck! They have enriched the few, while more or less screwing the many.

The Astounding Hypocrisy Of Harry Reid

Harry Reid is mad about the "email" scandal:

The FBI has acquired a warrant to investigate emails found on a laptop used by an aide to Hillary Clinton as part of its investigation into the Democratic presidential nominee’s use of a private email server.

The move came as senior Senate Democrats made an extraordinary attack on the head of the FBI, James Comey, on Sunday over the new investigation, with the Senate minority leader, Harry Reid, warning he may have broken the law.

In a scathing letter, Reid wrote: “Your actions in recent months have demonstrated a disturbing double standard for the treatment of sensitive information, with what appears to be a clear intent to aid one political party over another.

“My office has determined that these actions may violate the Hatch Act, which bars FBI officials from using their official authority to influence an election. Through your partisan action, you may have broken the law.”

Dear Harry - Obviously you do not care that HILLARY is our generation's chief violator of the Hatch Act, as well as our national security, financial, and racketeering laws.

You can find the text of the Hatch Act @
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/5/7323

Read it closely and then decide - did Director Comey violate the law, or was he just going his job?

And when the AG met with Bill Clinton and decided to stifle the FBI's investigations of Hillary's violations of our espionage laws, securities laws, and racketeering laws, didn't she (the AG) also violate the Hatch Act? Why aren't you mad about that?

Harry, like most of the Democrats I can think of, you are a vile swine.

China Building Stealth Fighters

Just in time for World War III ???

China’s J-20 twin-engine stealth fighter will make its first public appearance when it is featured at the 11th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition at the Zhuhai Airshow Center in Guangdong province on Tuesday.

The Chengdu J-20, likely to be the main showcase of the air show, is a fifth-generation fighter jet which uses stealth technology to mask its appearance from radar systems. While the US is the only country with fifth-generation fighter craft in use – the F-22 Raptor, China, India, Japan, Russia and Turkey are producing their own.

Fifth-generation technologies include stealth, advanced avionics and radar systems, and superior computing.

The 20-meter jet, with a 13-meter wingspan, has a top speed of 2,100 kilometers an hour.

Is TVA About To Get Scammed ???

Not long ago I wrote about TVA's planned auction of the Bellefonte Nuclear Power Plant. You can read my blog post here:

http://sainthoward.blogspot.com/2016/09/us-nuclear-power-plant-for-sale-cheap.html

Apparently there has been an initial round of bidding, and a final round is planned:

After fielding preliminary bids, the Tennessee Valley Authority has set a date for the final round of public auction on its unfinished, 1,400-acre Bellefonte nuclear site.

Qualified bidders are eligible to participate in the final live auction, set for Nov. 14 at 9 a.m. Qualified bidders are required to submit a comprehensive plan for the site.

The TVA earlier this year set a minimum price of $36.4 million. Phoenix Energy, a Nevada-company that's been targeting the site for months, in September submitted a preliminary $38 million bid for the site.

The company originally offered to buy the plant outright for the same amount as its bid for the site, but the TVA insisted the plant sell at auction instead. The company intends to use the facility for a new type of magnetic inductive power generation known as induction energy fuel conversion after investing a few hundred million dollars.

You can read the rest @
http://www.bizjournals.com/birmingham/news/2016/10/18/tva-sets-date-for-final-round-of-bellefonte.html

Here is a description of the Phoenix Energy conversion system:

http://peswiki.com/directory:induction-fueled-power-plant-design-by-phoenix-energy-of-nevada-penv-llc

The astute reader will note some astounding problems with the above description of the Phoenix Energy system:

1. First, and most obvious, the Bellefonte plant is NOT a boiling water reactor plant; it was designed and constructed to be a PRESSURIZED water reactor plant. It's more or less impossible to convert the one into the other.

2. But more fundamentally, the Phoenix design apparently uses electricity to generate steam, and that steam is then used to generate MORE electricity. Since its overall efficiency will be far less than 100% (i.e., it will generate less electricity than it uses), it will NOT be a net generator. It will be a net USER of electricity. How can this be called a "power plant"?

Someone is getting scammed BIG TIME on this deal.

My guess is that if the Phoenix bid wins, the plant will be used to generate distilled water (or some other product), but ultimately will be cut up for scrap.

And that's a shame for what appears to have been a well-constructed nuclear power plant.

Should Hillary Step Aside ???

Here is a timely piece from the Chicago Tribune:

It's obvious the American political system is breaking down. It's been crumbling for some time now, and the establishment elite know it and they're properly frightened. Donald Trump, the vulgarian at their gates, is a symptom, not a cause. Hillary Clinton and husband Bill are both cause and effect.

# # # # # # # #

If ruling Democrats hold themselves to the high moral standards they impose on the people they govern, they would follow a simple process:

They would demand that Mrs. Clinton step down, immediately, and let her vice presidential nominee, Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia, stand in her place.

Democrats should say, honestly, that with a new criminal investigation going on into events around her home-brew email server from the time she was secretary of state, having Clinton anywhere near the White House is just not a good idea.

Democrats holding themselves to a high moral standard? He's joking, right?

I thought Chicago was Democrat territory run by the likes of the Daley family and The Godfather (Rahm Emanuel). How did such blasphemy creep into the city's flagship newspaper?

By the way, the FBI investigation should not be about her email server, but about espionage, treason, racketeering, securities violations, destruction of evidence, obstruction of justice, etc. By all appearances, the Clintons are world class serial criminals. The server issue is merely a minor symptom of their utter lawlessness.

China Building Egypt's New Capital City

Following months of speculation that the whole project had been scrapped, construction on Egypt’s New capital city by two of China’s biggest developers could begin as early as next year.

The Egyptian government is targeting up to $45 billion in investments, and the agreements set to be finalized before the year’s end will bring the country closer to that target.

Earlier this month, heads from China Fortune Land Development Company (CFLD) met with Egyptian President Abdelfattah Al-Sisi and agreed to provide $20 billion over the coming 10 years for the currently unnamed city mega project which is expected to break ground some 47 kilometers east of the current capital Cairo.

Hesham Sheta, chairman of Income – a partner in the project, said at the Reuters Middle East Investment Summit that CFLD is likely to develop an area that will include factories, shopping malls, hospitals and universities in an area covering 70 sq km of the 750 sq km area devoted to the new capital.

In contrast, what has the US done for Egypt? Supported their authoritarian rulers and helped them crush the Palestinians.

And what is Hillary likely to do to counter this? Nothing, other than giving carte blanche to the Israels and bombing the Syrians and the Iranians, moves which will pour more gasoline onto the Middle Eastern fire.

Ultimately, China will be the greatest power in the region and the world. The fall of the US will have been our own doing.

Our Authoritarian President

We are very likely to get an authoritarian president next year. Here is why:

Nearly the entire media (including most conservative commentators), all of academia, and most corporate leaders would resist Trump's efforts to curb the freedom of the press, circumvent due process and revive "Operation Wetback." Trump probably wouldn't have the follow-through, the knowledge or the institutional support even to get these initiatives off the ground.

Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, may well have the skills, the dedication and the elite support in her efforts to crack down on the free exercise of religion, the right to bear arms, the freedom to join with other citizens in criticizing politicians and due process of the law.

Although Trump has been called a fascist, the REAL fascist in this campaign is Hillary Clinton:

"Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of State and corporate power."

Benito Mussolini

In case you had not noticed, Hillary is the darling of global corporations. Her reign at the State Department, during which she mingled the activities of governments, corporations, banks, sheiks and kings, NGOs, and various and sundry racketeers was a veritable textbook exercise on how to built and operate an all-encompassing fascist organization.

As to the claim that she will have a mandate to crack down on dissent, that is right on the money. And do not forget the German people chose and supported Hitler for the very reason that he promised to throw troublemakers and dissenters in jail.

People choose a dictator because they LOVE him or her at first and YEARN for him or her to crack down on THEIR enemies. It's only later when he or she comes after THEM that they change their minds:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— 
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— 
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Martin Niemöller

By that point, as Niemöller observed, it's always too late.

We are on the brink of an authoritarian abyss. Please don't drag the rest of us into it.

Demand Higher Minimum Wage, And Lose Your Job

Here is some bad news on the jobs front:

While proponents of these measures hope they will improve the welfare of low-wage workers, American Action Forum (AAF) research has consistently shown that proposals to raise the minimum wage often hurt those they intend to help by increasing joblessness among low-skilled workers and failing to deliver income gains to those who actually need assistance. So, what would happen in these states [AZ, CO, ME, and WA] if each measure were approved? These minimum wage increases would come at a total cost of 290,000 jobs.

In addition, they probably would hasten the move to replace human workers with robots, which would cause even MORE jobs to be lost.

Maybe this is one of the reasons why President Evo Morales of Bolivia once made the following claim:

"The greatest objective of mankind in this century should be to eradicate imperialism and capitalism as models for society."

You don't want to believe him? Fine; suffer the consequences.

Throwing Huma Under The Bus ???

US Border Belongs To Drug Cartels

Here is one of many reports suggesting the US is losing the so-called war on drugs:

To many, Donald Trump's pledge to build a wall along the US-Mexico border is unrealistic. But for Jim Chilton, it's the only way he'll get a good night's sleep.

The 77-year-old, a fifth-generation rancher on the Arizona border with Mexico, says he has grown weary of seeing drug smugglers -- rather than just cattle -- on his ranch and a wall is the answer to his troubles.

"I really admire Trump for having the insight and the knowledge to know what's wrong with the current border system," he said, as he surveyed the sprawling desert plains of his 75-square-mile ranch that stretches to the Mexican border.

"We need a wall. I've been saying that for 10 years ... and we need roads along the boundary and the border patrol to be deployed there and not let anybody in," he added. "It would make my life so much better and I'd feel more secure."

We cannot defeat the Taliban, we cannot (and apparently don't want to) stop the flow of drugs from Afghanistan, and we certainly aren't really trying to stop the drug cartels from flooding our nation with their poison.

Q: Why is it illegal for the little people to traffic in drugs, but apparently not illegal for TBTF banks to launder the cartels' drug money?

A: You don't think the US political system could survive without continual injections of dirty money, do you? Wasn't ATF's "Fast and Furious" operation just another quid pro quo of the Obama ad-Dajjal administration?

Battle Of The Ten Armies

LTC Danny Davis has written an incisive essay about the battle for Mosul, and he recently was interviewed by Scott Horton:

Retired US Army colonel Daniel L. Davis discusses his article “Why the Battle for Mosul Could Become a Total Disaster;” and how US military intervention is paving the way for Al Qaeda/ISIS control of an actual state - not the pseudo state currently held in Iraq.

And you can find the essay itself @
http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-skeptics/why-the-battle-mosul-could-become-total-disaster-18087

Mention of "the ten armies" appears to be incidental, but does it not remind you of the following scripture:

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

Revelation 17:12 KJV

One really cannot be a king unless one has an army. Do these ten armies represent ten kings? And might that mean "the beast" is the US/NATO entity which is behind the battle for Mosul?

It's only about 700 miles from Mosul to Megiddo:

Is all this a prelude to Armageddon? If the Whore of Babylon wins the election on November 8, you better believe it.

Banker's Coup In Italy ???

If Hillary is elected, a similar thing will happen here.

This is the century of the banks and corporations, at least in the West. Ironically, it is Russia and China which are the only sovereign nations left that could possibly save us from what is to come.

But why would they bother after all we have done to them?

Our Urban Future

Please watch this video from the Pentagon about the rise and growth of megacities:

Conclusion? The US considers megacities to be a threat, pure and simple. We won't be helping; we'll only be reacting to the threat.

An Epidemic On College Campuses ???

Now this is downright creepy:

It is a painful disease that normally affects children, but in recent months, it has popped up at U.S. universities outside of the Bay Area.

It is called hand, foot, and mouth disease, and two Florida universities and the University of Illinois have reported up to three dozen cases in the last couple of months.

KRON4 spoke with an infectious disease expert at UC Berkeley who says he is not surprised.

Hand, foot, and mouth disease looks like this–blisters so painful you can’t walk or pick up anything. It also can come with a fever.

According to the National Institutes of Health, about 200,000 people in the U.S. get the disease each year, but Dr. Fenyong Liu, an infectious disease expert at UC Berkeley, says a lot more than that carry the viruses associated with the disease.

When I was in college, I fell victim to shigellosis spread by contamination in the dining hall. I was sick as a dog for several days.

One possible factor in the spread of hand, foot, and mouth disease is the toxic brew of vaccines given to our kids. Their immune systems are quite different from those of their grandparents.

Is it possible that the "tailored immunity" the vaccines create for them is leaving holes through which formerly controlled infectious organisms can pass? I would not be surprised.

And the more people there are, the more hosts viruses and bacteria can inhabit. They gotta eat, too.

Are We Dying Sooner ???

Didn't Obama ad-Dajjal promise us hope? It looks like he was wrong about that, too:

Death awaits all of us, but how patiently? To unlock the mystery of when we’re going to die, start with an actuary.

Specializing in the study of risk and uncertainty, members of this 200-year-old profession pore over the data of death to estimate the length of life. Putting aside the spiritual, that’s crucial information for insurance companies and pension plans, and it’s also helpful for planning retirement, since we need our money to last as long we do.

The latest, best guesses for U.S. lifespans come from a study released this month by the Society of Actuaries: The average 65-year-old American man should die a few months short of his 86th birthday, while the average 65-year-old woman gets an additional two years, barely missing age 88.

This new data turns out to be a disappointment. Over the past several years, the health of Americans has deteriorated - particularly that of middle-aged non-Hispanic whites. Among the culprits are drug overdoses, suicide, alcohol poisoning, and liver disease, according to a Princeton University study issued in December.

If you recall, something similar happened to Russians following the collapse of the USSR, only their decline was far more dramatic:

Between 1976 and 1991, the last sixteen years of Soviet power, the country recorded 36 million births. In the sixteen post-Communist years of 1992–2007, there were just 22.3 million, a drop in childbearing of nearly 40 percent from one era to the next. On the other side of the life cycle, a total of 24.6 million deaths were recorded between 1976 and 1991, while in the first sixteen years of the post-Communist period the Russian Federation tallied 34.7 million deaths, a rise of just over 40 percent. The symmetry is striking: in the last sixteen years of the Communist era, births exceeded deaths in Russia by 11.4 million; in the first sixteen years of the post-Soviet era, deaths exceeded births by 12.4 million.

If one looks behind the numbers, the US is in a better position than post-Soviet Russia. There are LOTS of new people streaming into the US, and they should easily make up for what would otherwise be a die-off.

By the way, the common factor in post-Soviet and post-USA demographics seems to be that so-called Caucasians are the ones who are dying out. Was this change intentional? It sure looks that way to me.

But, of course, that would be genocide, and such a thing is illegal (except in the region once known as Palestine).

Grifters-In-Chief

The Wall Street Journal finally is telling us the truth about the Clintons:

In an election season that has been full of surprises, let’s hope the electorate understands that there is at least one thing of which it can be certain: A Hillary Clinton presidency will be built, from the ground up, on self-dealing, crony favors, and an utter disregard for the law.

This isn’t a guess. It is spelled out, in black and white, in the latest bombshell revelation from WikiLeaks. It comes in the form of a memo written in 2011 by longtime Clinton errand boy Doug Band, who for years worked simultaneously at the Clinton Foundation and at the head of his lucrative consulting business, Teneo.

It is astonishingly detailed proof that the Clintons do not draw any lines between their “charitable” work, their political activity, their government jobs or (and most important) their personal enrichment. Every other American is expected to keep these pursuits separate, as required by tax law, anticorruption law and campaign-finance law. For the Clintons, it is all one and the same - the rules be damned.

Could You Survive On Two Hours A Week Of Water ???

Ramallah, occupied West Bank - Enas Taha, a resident of the Palestinian village of Kafr al-Deek in the occupied West Bank, has become desperate.

“Since the [water] crisis started in June, the municipality has been able to supply water for only one hour twice a week,” Taha told Al Jazeera. “I am checking the weather forecast every day; they announced rain three weeks ago, but it has not come yet. The only thing I can do is to pray to God.”

Many West Bank communities are facing similar problems, amid an acute water shortage that has lasted for months. In the Salfit, Jenin and Hebron governorates, some villages have gone as long as 40 days in a row without running water.

Your Own Country Thinks You Are The Enemy

The "civil rights movement" has gone from absurdity to the point of insurrection:

Student protesters at the University of California-Berkeley gathered in front of a bridge on campus and forcibly prevented white people from crossing it. Students of color were allowed to pass.

The massive human wall was conceived as a pro-safe space demonstration. Activists wanted the university administration to designate additional safe spaces for trans students, gay students, and students of color. They were apparently incensed that one of their official safe spaces had been moved from the fifth floor of a building to the basement.

Are Superbugs Taking Over ???

The growth in superbugs - infections which are resistant to antibiotics - is one of the biggest public health crises facing the world today, and pollution in drug companies’ supply chains is one of its causes. Yet the Bureau of Investigative Journalism has established that firms with a history of bad practice and pollution are supplying the NHS, and environmental standards do not feature in NHS procurement protocols.

New tests on water samples taken outside pharmaceutical factories in India which sell to the NHS found they contained bacteria which were resistant to the antibiotics made inside the plants.

This suggests industrial waste containing active antibiotic ingredients is being leaked into the surrounding environment. Studies have shown how this causes nearby bacteria to develop immunity to the drugs - creating “superbugs” - and that those resistant bacteria then spread around the world.

Mass Consumption = Mass Extinction

Populations of wild animals have plummeted 58 percent in the past four decades as humans have pushed them into ever-smaller habitats or killed them for food and financial gain, according to a new report from a leading environmental group.

World Wildlife Fund researchers said the losses could be reversed over the 21st century by systematically factoring the value of nature into how we produce and consume goods and services, as well as adopting farming methods that work with ecosystems rather than against or in spite of them.

WWF compiled data on more than 14,000 populations of 3,706 vertebrate species for the latest edition of its biennial Living Planet Report and found that global populations of amphibians, birds, fishes, mammals, and reptiles sank by an average of 58 percent between 1970 and 2012. These populations could drop another 9 percent by 2020 based on current trends, the report stated.

Who "Owns" Jerusalem ???

While the UNESCO resolution which recognized the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem as a “Muslim holy site of worship” was barely reported around the world, and considered fairly non-controversial, Israeli officials have been expressing fury over the matter for two solid weeks.

And the Muslims may have a huge, ancient mosque that has been a key part of Islam for 1,300 years, but Israel has a small strip of papyrus they found in a cave, which they’re pretty sure is a far more conclusive document, since it mentioned the word Jerusalem and was written in Hebrew.

Israeli officials have claimed that the UNESCO resolution, in recognizing the mosque as important to Islam, was tantamount to denying Israel’s absolute and eternal control over the entire city of Jerusalem. Israeli Culture Minister Miri Regev said the papyrus strip proved Jerusalem “was and will remain the eternal capital of the Jewish people.”

Here is a link to a report about the papyrus mentioned above:

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-israel-archaeology-idUSKCN12Q1SO

If Israel "owns" Jerusalem, then native Americans "own" North America. And with a far more believable provenance.

Jerusalem belongs to G-d. And since all life on this earth was created by G-d, all life has an equal claim to the city. Except for those whom G-d decides to exclude.

Does the nation of Israel have the sole right to speak for G-d? I'm certain their papyrus doesn't say that.

Some day soon the Israelis will tear down those mosques and attempt to rebuild their temple. On that day we shall learn who "owns" Jerusalem.

Wacky Cure For Autism ???

Here is a report about a "wacky" church which claims to have a cure for autism:

http://abcnews.go.com/US/wacky-church-fire-miracle-cure-autism/story?id=43054429

I have no idea whether or not this stuff "cures" autism. I strongly doubt that it does. I do NOT recommend that you give it to anyone.

But I'd like to point out a few things about the report which are worth discussing:

1. Just about every church has ideas which nonbelievers consider to be "wacky". But to call them that prejudices the audience, doesn't it?

2. Many chemicals are harmful in concentrated form but therapeutic when given in controlled doses. For example, mercury (a poison) once was used by licensed MDs to "treat" syphilis, and horrible poisons still are used to "treat" cancer. The issue isn't whether they are "poisons", but rather if they work or not.

3. The report does not evaluate the status of anyone who got this "treatment". Did they improve or not? Were they harmed or not? It doesn't say.

4. But it does claim without proof that there is no cure for autism, therefore this stuff couldn't possibly be effective.

So, the report implies that you may continue to subject your children to potentially harmful vaccines (some of which contain the poison mercury), but please don't do anything which is not approved by Big Med and Big Pharma.

Doesn't that in itself sound "wacky" to you?

Paul Wellstone - The Last Honorable US Senator ???

Although it has never been proven, I suspect Senator Paul Wellstone was assassinated because of his opposition to the official fairy tale of 9/11 and to the wars started by Dick Cheney and his coterie:

On October 25th, 2002 the last great hero of the common people in the US Senate was very likely murdered by agents of the shadow US crime cabal government otherwise known as the Bush-Cheney regime. His wife and daughter and two pilots also died in the air crash. Paul Wellstone’s story deserves to be retold and Americans need to be reminded that criminals in and out of our government still need to be punished for their unindicted crimes. This article was written as both a tribute to an outstanding American patriot and a reexamination of his probable assassination by criminals still on the loose.

Minnesota Democratic Senator Paul Wellstone was a man of integrity who was among the few politicians openly and adamantly opposing the Iraq invasion as well as the creation of the US version of Gestapo-land Security. As a fearless populist leader he’d been a constant thorn in the side ever since then President George H. W. Bush responding to the junior senator’s uncomfortable questions at a reception asked, “Who is this chickenshit?”

Years later as the only senator up for reelection who voted against the Iraq War when Democrats held just a one seat edge over the Republicans in the Senate (with one independent caucusing with Democrats), his thorny side made him the #1 GOP target. With the Karl Rove led Republican Party just one seat away from gaining Republican control over the US Senate, Wellstone’s death gave his Republican challenger Norm Coleman the 49-49 split and, as the President of the Senate, Cheney’s tie breaking vote would deliver the GOP 50-49 advantage needed to steamroll yet more tax cuts through for the rich, unending bankers’ wars and a never seen before boom for the military-security industrial complex. Again, motive and means tilt heavily towards assassination. The facts make it more than probable.

I did not know you, Paul; but I admire your courage.

I suspect that members of Congress no longer rock the boat because of the assassinations of people like Wellstone, JFK, RFK, MLK, etc.

Note well the FBI has played a key role in covering up all such political crimes.

But We The People share their guilt for allowing the murderers to get away scot-free time after time after time.

Shame on us !!!

Big AG Threatens World's Food Diversity

Here is a fact I bet most of us did not know (I didn't before reading this report):

The UN Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) notes that 75% of the world’s food is generated from only 12 plants and five animal species. Out of 30,000 known edible plant species, three (rice, maize and wheat) provide almost 60% of calories and proteins.

Living systems which lose diversity usually die out. That's the path big AG has placed us on.

And TPP, TTIP, TISA, and the other "trade deals" are likely to drive us right over a cliff.

Are you happy now? No one who is hungry can be happy for very long.

US Is Bombing Seven Countries

The only candidate consistently addressing the real issues of this campaign cycle appears to be Dr. Jill Stein:

Jill Stein, the Green Party presidential nominee, charged the major-party hopefuls with failing to tell Americans how they’d tackle challenges including foreign conflicts.

Stein, speaking at Huston-Tillotson University in Austin, said of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump a couple of nights before the last 2016 presidential debate: "They are very busy talking about grabbing women’s genitalia so that they don’t have to reveal that they cannot tell you what are we going to do about this crashing economy, what are we going to do about the climate that is barreling down on us, this catastrophe of the climate."

Stein drew our curiosity when she went on: "They don’t have a solution to the expanding wars except more wars. We are already bombing seven countries and now we do appear to be engaging in this war crime in Yemen where we have been partnering with the Saudis in this war crime for the past year. They do not want to talk about that."

Saudi Arabia, a U.S. ally, has sided with Yemen’s government against Houthi rebels in a continuing war.

For this fact check, we wondered if the U.S. is bombing seven countries.

That at least has been so: In September 2014, PunditFact rated True a bombed-countries claim by Ryan Lizza of The New Yorker. Lizza referred to President George W. Bush and his successor, Barack Obama, in a tweet that said: "Countries bombed: Obama 7, Bush 4."

At the time, the U.S. on Obama’s watch had bombed Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya and Syria.

Since all seven are MUSLIM countries, it appears that women voters in the US are putting them in the Trump column - as misogynist morons who must be stopped at any cost, even if it means starving and bombing women and children.

Sounds bizarre to me.

By the way, these bombings amount to WAR. Where are the Congressional declarations of war on these nations?

We don't need any, you say? Will Hillary need a declaration of war to attack Russia, or will she just push the button?

AT&T Gets Paid To Spy On US

AT&T now brings new meaing to their slogan "mobilizing your world":

Hemisphere is a secretive program run by AT&T that searches trillions of call records and analyzes cellular data to determine where a target is located, with whom he speaks, and potentially why.

Like Yahoo, it appears AT&T is a law abiding company which complies with the laws of the United States.

But why do "our" laws allow everyone to spy on us when we cannot legally spy on anyone?

That's AFU, no?

Hillary Channels The 1964 Daisy TV Ad

Yesterday I watched a Hillary TV ad which showed an alleged former nuclear weapons launch officer and which suggested that it would be unwise to have Trump's "finger on the button".

It reminded me of the famous 1964 "Daisy" TV ad which suggested the same thing about Barry Goldwater:

https://youtu.be/dDTBnsqxZ3k

In reality, it was LBJ who was the warmonger, not Goldwater. The Vietnam War proved that.

And in today's reality, it is Hillary who is the warmonger. Her history in the Senate and as Secretary of State proves that.

But you're still going to believe her ads, aren't you? You shall reap what she is sowing.

MAD Thought For The Day

Today, there is no instrument in international law that prevents the possibility of mutually assured destruction. Putin has been sending out warnings for over 10 years – all of which fell on deaf ears.

Who will push the button first?

I don't know who will push the button first, but when it happens it will be because We The People of the United States did not prevent it.

Dilbert Says "Resist The Bullies"

Here is some great analysis and advice from Scott Adams, the creator of "Dilbert":

I’ve been trying to figure out what common trait binds Clinton supporters together. As far as I can tell, the most unifying characteristic is a willingness to bully in all its forms.

If you have a Trump sign in your lawn, they will steal it.

If you have a Trump bumper sticker, they will deface your car.

if you speak of Trump at work you could get fired.

On social media, almost every message I get from a Clinton supporter is a bullying type of message. They insult. They try to shame. They label. And obviously they threaten my livelihood.

We know from Project Veritas that Clinton supporters tried to incite violence at Trump rallies. The media downplays it.

We also know Clinton’s side hired paid trolls to bully online. You don’t hear much about that.

Yesterday, by no coincidence, Huffington Post, Salon, and Daily Kos all published similar-sounding hit pieces on me, presumably to lower my influence. (That reason, plus jealousy, are the only reasons writers write about other writers.)

Joe Biden said he wanted to take Trump behind the bleachers and beat him up. No one on Clinton’s side disavowed that call to violence because, I assume, they consider it justified hyperbole. 

Team Clinton has succeeded in perpetuating one of the greatest evils I have seen in my lifetime.

$ $ $ $ $ $ $ $

Yes, yes, I realize Trump supporters say bad things about Clinton supporters too. I don’t defend the bad apples on either side. I’ll just point out that Trump’s message is about uniting all Americans under one flag. The Clinton message is that some Americans are good people and the other 40% are some form of deplorables, deserving of shame, vandalism, punishing taxation, and violence. She has literally turned Americans on each other. It is hard for me to imagine a worse thing for a presidential candidate to do.

I’ll say that again. 


As far as I can tell, the worst thing a presidential candidate can do is turn Americans against each other. Clinton is doing that, intentionally.

Intentionally.

& & & & & & & &

I don’t defend Trump’s personal life. Neither Trump nor Clinton are role models for our children. Let’s call that a tie, at worst.

And we can expect a LOT more bullying if she wins.

Hillary intends to rip the US apart and hand the remains over to her corporate supporters. If you think otherwise, you are a fool ... or a Clinton supporter.

Executive Orders For Sale ???

Now THIS is something which should put Hillary in jail:

A new revelation buried in the Wikileaks trove of tens of thousands of Hillary campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails shows him discussing executive orders in relation to an “idea” a wealthy donor has.

In a leaked email thread between Podesta and Mary Pat Bonner, a “donor adviser” who  gets millions for her elite connections in bringing in donors and for being what The New York Times describes as a “master of making donors happy,” it’s all but admitted that Executive Orders are another pay-for-play item on the corrupt American political menu.

Thank you, Julian.

If this is true, then isn't it likely Obama ad-Dajjal either ran a similar scheme or somehow benefited from the one Hillary was running?

Trump is right again - Hillary appears to be the most corrupt politician in US history.

Even worse than that, she appears to have almost single-handedly destroyed what used to be a fairly decent, honest system of governance.

PUT HER AND HER MINIONS IN JAIL !!!
