ValJay is the MB’s puppet minder.
We say "hork" or "hork up" a loogie, but that may be a regional dialect. "Lung oyster" is also part of the vernacular.
But I digress from "All Things Q"
A great image - except: if only the artist had not misspelled 'overthrow'... sigh
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. National Security Agency collected 534 million records of phone calls and text messages of Americans last year, more than triple gathered in 2016, a U.S. intelligence agency report released on Friday said.
The sharp increase from 151 million occurred during the second full year of a new surveillance system established at the spy agency after U.S. lawmakers passed a law in 2015 that sought to limit its ability to collect such records in bulk.
The spike in collection of call records coincided with an increase reported on Friday across other surveillance methods, raising questions from some privacy advocates who are concerned about potential government overreach and intrusion into the lives of U.S. citizens.
The 2017 call records tally remained far less than an estimated billions of records collected per day under the NSAs old bulk surveillance system, which was exposed by former U.S. intelligence contractor Edward Snowden in 2013.
The records collected by the NSA include the numbers and time of a call or text message, but not their content.
Overall increases in surveillance hauls were both mystifying and alarming coming years after Snowdens leaks, privacy advocates said.
The intelligence communitys transparency has yet to extend to explaining dramatic increases in their collection, said Robyn Greene, policy counsel at the Washington-based Open Technology Institute that focuses on digital issues.
The government has not altered the manner in which it uses its authority to obtain call detail records, Timothy Barrett, a spokesman at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which released the annual report, said in a statement.
Food for thought on Lurch who married the Theresa Heinz, widow of U.S. Senator H. John Heinz, heir to the Heinz fortune, who died in a plane crash in 1991.
On April 4, 1991, Heinz and six other people, including two children, were killed when a Sun Co. Aviation Department Bell 412 helicopter and a Piper Aerostar with Heinz aboard collided in mid-air above Merion Elementary School in Lower Merion Township, Pennsylvania. All aboard both aircraft, as well as two children at the school, were killed. The helicopter had been dispatched to investigate a problem with the landing gear of Heinz's plane. While moving in for a closer look, the helicopter collided with the plane, causing both aircraft to lose control and crash. The subsequent NTSB investigation attributed the cause of the crash to poor judgment by the pilots of the two aircraft involved.
Hmmmm

This link is great - I may be odd but I like to read full transcripts as opposed to hearing snippets or highly edited versions on the news. THANKS!
When I said don’t follow those people I was referring to the people who make up stuff without paying attention to what is already known. I am not saying not to seek reasonable opinions. But most of all just pay special attention to the things that are setting Q up to fail in an unreasonable way. As you know there are people right here on FR who are just looking for any anti Q ammo they can find. No matter how unfair. They use these situations to make it sound like Q said something that Q did not say.
They really are pushing this DEEP FAKE crap aren’t they
Political world braces for the next generation of fake news
It’s easier than ever to make high-quality manipulations to audio and video and that has experts worried.
The issue was thrust into the national spotlight last month when Buzzfeed partnered with the filmmaker Jordan Peele to create a video of former President Barack Obama appearing to deliver a public service announcement about the potential impact of manipulated media. Only it wasnt Obama.
Instead it was Peeles impersonation of Obama, synced well enough with the former presidents lips to keep viewers open to the possibility it could be authentic until the message itself became a clear parody.
THANKS!
High Court Balance at Stake as Kennedy Retirement Talk Heats Up
After 30 years of pivotal decisions on the U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Anthony Kennedy is about to make his biggest one yet.
For the second straight year, Kennedy, 81, is the focus of retirement speculation as the court approaches the late-June end of its term. A retirement by the courts swing justice would give President Donald Trump his second Supreme Court vacancy to fill before Republicans Senate majority goes on the November election ballot. It also would drop a political bomb into what is already one of the countrys most divisive eras since the Civil War.
I yearn for the day POTUS invokes the ‘Presidential Full Powers Act’ and orders the US Marshall’s to arrest these DS players as they enter or try to leave the country.
It will only take one or two arrests to make the rest scramble for cover. Too late!
WWG1WGA!
Corsi’s claim of Q having been compromised from 4/28 - 5/4 conveniently makes Q’s post against profiteers illegitimate.
Ha, they’re worried.
If Kennedy retires and RBG’s health (does she have any left?) gets too bad, SCOTUS will be ironclad for a long time.
Yes, I’m tired of firings and resignations; I want some incarcerations!
Just remember that some of Reagan’s picks didn’t end as well as we’d hoped, so ‘ironclad’ may be a bit of an overstatement. Men by their nature are fallible.
Uh.....yeah!
[Comey said]: "[Secretary Clinton] is someone deeply enmeshed in the rule of law [insert laugh track here], respect for institutions [insert laugh track here], a lawyer [insert laugh track here]. So given that background, I am reasonably confident that even though she was unhappy with the decisions that the FBI made [insert laugh track here], she would not fire the FBI director as a result." [insert group tittering here.]
"But, again, I don't know that for sure," he added. (Based on his performances on various talk shows, what DOES he know for sure? Not much, apparently!)
Uh....didn't Hilldog add this this Seven-Feet-of-Leakage to her long and distinguished list found in her "Whah Hoppen?" book tour for her dismal performance in the 2016 election?
Enmeshed in the rule of law? More like mashed or smashed the rule of law, as in cellphones or smashed server drives.... If "rule of law" he means TWO rules of law, one which exempts the Clintons, then yeah...
A lawyer? Yeah, one who conveniently loses Rose Law Firm records until the statute of limitations runs out.
IMHO whoever is giving Trump lists of potential judges is doing a good job. Naturally men are fallible but in the last few decades since Reagan was in office, I think the climate of insanity has been so extreme that potential judges will have shown their true colors in their decisions, writings and opinions.

I disagree on Pencil Neck. He was up to his jughandle ears in the FISA/Dossier mess, and he's the one who refuses to un-redact the marching orders he gave the Mule.
And, now, the judge has caught Mueller replacing the Title 3 warrant he should have gotten on Manafort -- with RR's last fraudulent Title 1 FISA warrant. (Mueller's proven as dirty as McCabe/Strozk.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IMO, "in control" includes giving the DS actors (Rosenstein, Mueller, et al) sufficient rope to hang themselves on this treasonous coup failure.
Also IMO, Avoiding the least taint of the coup attempt was good and prudent reason for Sessions to recuse (detach) himself from any association with or responsibility for it.
Now that Mueller is demonstrably part of the coup -- and the judge is laying out the evidence thereof -- it is time to roll up the SC arm of the coup, and put the nooses around PencilNeck and the rest of the DOJ/FBI cabal....
~~~~~~~~
Smooth moves: let them run (hands-off by Sessions/Trump) until the Reagan judge nails them for treason. Checkmate!
I'd call that "Under Control". What did I miss?
