On the night war exploded over Baghdad, CNN was the only news organization that was able to broadcast from the city under siege as the U.S. onslaught began, all courtesy of the CNN team’s ability to convince the Iraqi government to grant them a line out of the city to broadcast​, one that the competition could not secure.

ok....that’s the official line.

here is what i think. the CIA was embedded in CNN in Baghdad. they got married there. CNN is CIA propaganda outlet....and personnel rotator.

to this day.

DECLERATION OF DR. NAVID KESHAVARZ-NIA

oops....what is a decleration?

after that, it was ok....

Brian Cates.....look up Stealth Jeff....twitter....this guy built an entire fantasy that Jeff Sessions was going to take down the dirty Democrats....every time Jeff did nothing Brian would explain that the AG was gathering the evidence and that he would soon slam the hammer down. This nonsense went on for years until Sessions finally quit and it was revealed for all to see that he had done NOTHING....Stealth Jeff was Brian’s dream.

Brian connects the dots....right.

Monica? hello? you should know this. Maybe Brian is right this time. it would be the first.

recently saw a bio of Bill Gates

Inside Bill’s Brain: Decoding Bill Gates; Season 1 Episode 1

He was a mess. Difficult. horrible. his mind is all over the place. turned out just fine. a lot of trouble for his parents. therapy for all. still difficult for people to comprehend. jumps around. combative. arrogant.

but has a stable marriage, good family life....and lots of money....and now....honorable purpose for humanity. he is determined to eradicate polio from this planet....and he has spent lots of time and money on it and has it about 99% licked. not satisified with that, he is redirecting his focus to improving sanitation in the 3rd world through new waste treatment technologies....and thereby eliminating cholera. what’s not to like?

Michelle Obama will be the Democratic nominee.

She will not have any of the recent outrageous ultra left proposals the current candidates have made to get primary votes. She will be seen as a safe moderate. There will be nothing for Trump to attack.

Biden was put in to take out Sanders by splitting the old white vote (men in particular). He did his job...but he will have to hang on for a few more months....that’s why Trump wants to take him out now.

Michelle is a black woman. That’s a 2-fer as far as democrats are concerned.

Democrats loved the Obama presidency the way they loved the Kennedys.

No one will get to the convention with enough delegates to win it on the first ballot....it will be a “brokered convention.”

Michelle is the most dangerous candidate that Trump could have to run against.

Its obvious. Michelle will be the nominee.

“We don’t know what we don’t know”

Yes I think things have improved since 1956.

“Settled science?” NO.

My wife was raised Christian Science. She was not “all in” to their beliefs, and became a nurse. Our oldest son was diagnosed with ADHD and a regime of Ritalin was prescribed. We considered it, and said NO. The reason? It would mean years of ingestion of this chemical cocktail with UNKNOWN future results. Turns out, there were a lot of “side effects” that would not be apparent for years.

We realized that our son was part of a grand experiment. We had a difficult choice. He had a lot of difficulty and barely managed to graduate from high school. He just could not focus on school work....but....now he is a big success. He is a networking computer professional....self taught....has his own company building a maintaining intranets for small and medium size businesses.

I think we made the right choice....but it looked bad, very bad, for a while.

I don’t think the competent authorities have evil motives in their determination to vaccinate. But I respect the parents who want to say no.

I have gotten the Shingles vaccine...the first one. Now, they say we need a better one. I am going to get that one too. And it requires 2 doses, two shots, some months apart. Its my decision. If you don’t want it, you should have the option. Its different because it does not threaten the larger group of all adults?

Maybe.

But remember, the ones recommending the inoculations are reading literature and studies and promotions. They might have missed something. If I was 5 years old, or 20...maybe I would say no. I should have a choice.

I was 6 years old living at Ft Walton Beach, FL. (Eglin AFB) We lived at 608 Bay St. I remember it well. My next door neighbor, the lady of the house, was in an iron lung. She would see us in her mirror above her head as she lay on her back, and we would talk to her.

It was terrifying. Kids would get the “flu” or a cold, and then paralysis set in. Some young adults, like my neighbor were also stricken.

We got the shot. And then another sometime later. My sister and I never got polio, thanks to Dr Salk.

Years later, a genetic engineer of some repute, explained that when they put the dead virus in the egg to make the vaccine, they would centrifuge it and thus created the first genetic accident. He said that SV40 was the same size as the desired polio virus, and was included with the now harmless polio (that we would create antibodies for) and we all got a dose of it as well.

from wikipedia:

SV40 has been widely studied as a model eukaryotic virus, leading to many early discoveries in eukaryotic DNA replication and transcription. The discovery of SV40 revealed that between 1955 and 1963 around 90% of children and 60% of adults in the U.S. were inoculated with SV40-contaminated polio vaccines.

the problem is that it is a latent virus....plants itself in the spinal column and can be activated (why?) many years later....he said....about the time we are all 70....right about now....there is/was no way to know if what he said is true.

So, I don’t know if its true....but this is why so many are afraid of vaccines. we don’t know what we don’t know.

and we may not find out until its too late.

people can approach this issue from their own understanding and beliefs. the children are not making the decision. as a parent, its your job to weigh the risks and say yes or no....

now, apparently, only “yes” is allowed.

Thanks for posting.

On the sidebar of that interview was this one w Steve Bannon

not zotted yet....

keep your typewriter on lock down

public discussions cannot include threats

on FR or Facebotch

elementary

if someone on this board issued such a threat I hope that it would not go without being reported to police.

2nd Amendment rights need to be protected, and part of that program should include revoking them for individuals who are upset and stupid enough to post threats on social media. If someone who has made such threats gets past the moderators (all who read social media are moderators) and then carries out the actions threatened, it will be a big problem.

I know. I know. The power to take the guns will be abused. This person will never get them back. Sorry.

I have my flame suit on. Fire away.

Two replies so far to thank you for posting

so triple that

great article

BTTT

and join up, I DID

very disturbing that our current attorney general Bill Barr was deep into this mess....

Duncan was instructed “to remove all files concerning the Mena investigation from the attorney general’s office.” The attorney general, serving under George H. W. Bush, at that time was William Barr, who is currently attorney general under Trump.

nothing will come from the current investigations of the “Deep State”

very, very sad.

Starting next year, the California Building Standards Commission will require every new home to have solar panels. This will add $8,400 to the average cost of the state’s already expensive homes

/////

$8,400 right, in your dreams....that’s the number the legislators and their bureaucrats pushed out....

/////

but let’s not forget that this comes after the State required every new home or extensive remodel to have fire sprinkler systems installed

how much does that cost? well, first, if you have a regular water meter (5/8”) it will not deliver the necessary flow, and you must upgrade it to 1”. Then, if you have a normal water supply pipe (1/2” or 3/4”) you will need to upgrade it to .... wait .... 1 1/4” sch 40 pvc to get the necessary flow ... but wait .... there’s more

this comes along shortly after the decision was made to change the required proximity to a fire hydrant from 750 feet to 300 feet. so about 1/2 of all the properties need to upgrade their proximity to a fire hydrant.... but, you get to choose....a) install a new fire hydrant, or, b) a 3500 gallon tank, within 10 feet of the street, with anti-siphon valves, level indicators, automatic filling devices, and a yearly inspection, and of course a certified fire hose bib...and the best part, that water is not yours....you cannot use it....it must remain in that tank....

or, you can go with a new fire hydrant, installed by the local water company using their crews or subcontracted ones.

what does it cost? I am building a 672 square foot studio on a one acre lot. the fire sprinkler contractor bid 1700 about a year ago for this (probably will be more now that i am ready for the install) to pipe the interior and put the required bells and whistles on it, and I chose the hydrant option which was $12,753 ..(for hydrant and new meter).. so its about $14,500 for the package....divided by 672 square feet....$21.58 per square foot

if i had chosen to have the 3500 gallon tank in my front yard...it might have cost about $8,000 installed and hooked up.

to put this in some perspective, the roof will be $4,000

the fire system compliance is by far the most expensive element of the construction

i wanted to build a small place, that i could afford

if i cannot get it done in a timely manner, and lose this permit, i can get another one for about $800, but it would now require the new solar electric mandate, as the permit process would push me past Jan 1, 2020

how can you argue with this. fire safety is a worthy goal. but it makes low income housing even more impossible.

btw the solar requirement is something like this (if i get it correct) the house must be energy neutral. it will require electric generating capacity and energy conservation methods which, when combined, will prove on paper that the house is “energy neutral.” the house will have to generate and save energy to satisfy the bureaucrats that it will not require the electric grid to add or use capacity to service the house.

so, you will need to hire special engineers, who have special software, to determine exactly how to do this. It will be a lot easier if you don’t want windows, or have 4 feet of dirt on your roof. but you will have to pay for this determination. and that is another expense.

no one of low or middle class will be able to have a house, or a condo, not that they can now anyway....

i can’t understand why California is losing the middle class, can you?

I really enjoyed reading Brian Cates on Twitter and “stealth jeff”” but, when Sessions was out and it was apparent that he had done nothing....Brian lost his luster with me. I do not discredit anything he writes in this article....and I hope it will all happen....but Brian has an ability to project too far with the little information that he/we have. I hope it will be different this time, but it is discouraging considering his history of assuming too much.

wow...great read....thanks

i read 70 comments and no one said anything about this:

However, the Oregon Institute of Science and Medicine and its Petition Project stands by Frederick Seitz, an American physicist, and his stance that “there is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of carbon dioxide, methane or other greenhouse gases is causing or will, in the foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.”

The petition also takes the stance that, in fact, there is “substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.”

About 31,000 American scientists have signed the petition.

////

the above was right there after the graph .... what’s so interesting is that it appeared at all. after dishing out the usual BS about 97%, anthropromorphic horse sh*t....and the graphs using doctored data....this bit of opposition information was included....why?

and then, again....another paragraph with links to the major Warmist Alarmist sites....

why did we get that bit of truth sandwiched in between the lies?....in an article claiming we’ve killed a species???

do they know? its all coming apart....time to cover your arse?

i went to High School in NY State

so i took the Regents exams.....they counted for 50% of your grade for the entire year of the class.....and they were tough....but fair....you had to know what was taught.

you took these exams for all High School classes....from Freshman to Senior....

so what to do?

of course....even then...the Regents were “on a curve”

if no one got above 90% correct, then 89% got you a 99th percentile rating. you took that 99 and added it to the (for example) 89 you got for the classroom work and tests and quizzes....and your grade was 95....and that was what you saw on your report card....95....not A, B C D or F....you got 95

with this system my GPA for 4 years of HS was 95.39....of course i still remember it....it placed me 3rd in my class of 540 or so. Columbia and Cornell said....Ain’t good enough....can you believe that? but how stupid was i??? not realizing that i was a NY state graduate applying to NY state located schools that had quotas.....only so many from NY can be admitted....and we got lots of alumnai kids w big money parents in NY state that get those spots....

95.39 was useless in that system for a Air Force kid who just happened to be moved to NY for the last 2 years of high school....

(the test introduced 4 years ago....that’s the latest version of the Regents....they get revised periodically to keep up with the march of knowlege and information and techniques....

time to write the CEO and explain it

i am about 50 years w USAA

they will listen....

they signed up for this long before the protests began

we need to tell them not to renew their sponsorship

and see what they choose to do

USAA is all military and military families

not a good place for anti-American protests
