About “Tips”:
While I’m mostly interested in things having to do with:
Making money, usually via trading
Weather and climate
Quakes, Volcanoes, and other Earth Sciences
Current economic and political events
(often as those last three have impact on the first one…)
And just about any ‘way cool’ interesting science or technology
If something else is interesting you put a “tip” here as you like.
You can also look at the list of “Categories” on the right hand side and get an idea of any other broad area of interest.
This ought not to be seen as a “limit” on what is “interesting”, more as a “focus list” with other things that are interesting being fair game as well.
The History:
Since WordPress has decided that comments on Pages, like the Tips pages, don’t show up in recent comments, it kind of breaks the value of it for me. In response, I’m shifting from a set of “pages” to a set of “postings”. As any given Tips Posting disappears or gets full, I’ll add a new one. That will restore the broken function.
I will be keeping the same general format, with the T page still pointing to both the archive of Tips Pages as well as the series of new Postings. With that, back to the Tips boiler plate:
This is an “overflow” posting from prior Tips pages as they had gotten so large it was taking a long time to load. Same idea, just a new set of space to put pointers to things of interest. The most immediately preceding Tips posting is: https://chiefio.wordpress.com/2016/08/17/tips-august-2016/.
The generic “T” parent page remains up top, where older copies of the various “Tips” pages can be found archived. I have also added a Tips category (see list at right) and will be marking Tips postings with that for easy location.
Musings from the Chiefio 
G’Day,
As a long time lurker and following your previous post, I wanted to say Thank you.
I have been constantly amazed at the breath of your knowledge and understanding, from bread making to nuclear physics. However, it is your ability to write about such topics in an entertaining and understandable way which I see as a gift.
As for a “dig here” what about the field of robotics and it’s application. Driverless vehicles seem a waste unless you have a much smaller and compliant population without any desire or need to visit “out of the way places”?
My interest was sparked by a small drone project I led looking at crop scouting, I’m a farmer and consultant.
The Southern Hemisphere exhibits no warming at all in the month of December over the last seven decades. I don’t think it plausible to suggest that the greenhouse effect takes a holiday in December and I can see no countervailing influence that could relate to the southern hemisphere bin December or any other time.
Here are three ways to look at the data to verify this assertion:
1. http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/tmp/climindex.101.177.92.161.264.15.27.21.png
2. https://reality348.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/hemisphere-surface-temp.jpg?w=612
3. https://reality348.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/sh-sst.jpg?w=612
Conclusion: Greenhouse effect is ‘unphysical’. Non operational. Other factors must be responsible for variations in surface temperature.
Interesting you should mention that I recall a TV program I stumbled on a year or so ago about potatoes. Seems one of the ways they have increased production on potato plantings is using GPS controlled tractors to do the tilling etc. No human can steer a row as straight at these automated tractors so over the width of a large field they were getting several “free rows” that hand driven tractors would not have had room to plant due to the human tendency to zig zag slightly during the process of working the field. (they also run over fewer plants since the spacing is uniform and rows straight). The tractors are almost autonomous a guy rides along to make sure it does not get confused and drive into a canal or something, and to handle odd situations the GPS automation can’t quite handle.

Interesting video on ISIS and jihad situation today.
And now we have state of emergency declared in NC for the riots @ 21:44 mdt
Fox News Alert @foxnewsalert 13 minutes ago
BREAKING NEWS: North Carolina governor declares state of emergency after unrest in Charlotte
@Larry:
True story: When I was about 9, the local gossip in my home (farm) town was about one of the local farmers (everybody knows everyone…) who had fallen asleep on his tractor, ploughed a long drifting “row” to the canal, up the bank, and then the tractor ‘fell right over’ (a Firesign Theatre gag). So I’m not so sure putting a person with nothing to do on the robot to keep it from wandering into a ditch is going to work out all that well… ;-)
BTW, farmer had only minor physical injury since the tractor stopped going forward once it fell over (usual tractor horrid injury is falling off and then run over by equipment…), though his pride was hurt for a year or two… The tractor was essentially fine, after pulled out of the (luckily mostly dry at the time) ditch and stood upright again. Though a goodly chunk of field needed to be dragged and then reploughed…
@Erl Happ:
Good stuff! I found something similar when I looked at the S.H. some years back. It’s just pretty stable all the time. I’ve been trying to work up the ambition to dive into the temp data again… but once I knew it was being cooked I kind of had trouble putting in hours on it…
Still, even with all the adjusting done (even to some of the “raw” data via editing out bits and station selection) they just can’t get the S.H. to play along ;-)
@The Quiet Farmer:
You are most welcome, and I ought to thank you for being here!
Robotic Cars: I’ve thought about it. A lot. Once autonomous, it is the start of a brave new world. I suspect Taxi Driver is a dying field. Add a security camera to assure the passenger isn’t coding out on you and / or tearing up the cab and a “stick your card in to book ride” and give it back at the end, you are pretty much good to go with 100% automated taxi service. I’m not so worried about Truckers, as you will need someone to service the truck (check air, fuel it, etc.) and handle the loading / unloading management. (Don’t want the customer taking more than his share of the load…) It would be a great boon for long haul guys in that they could sleep the mandatory hours in the sleeper cab while the Truck crossed Texas in the interstate… I think they will also be needed to prevent folks from just bracketing the truck with cars, slow to a halt, and stealing the cargo in the middle of nowhere.
But once we have accepted robots on the road, they will start showing up all over the place.
Per the drone: I hope you already know that the FAA is being VERY heavy handed about prosecuting folks for flying a Commercial Drone without a license… It’s a fairly new law. So fly your drone to take pictures of crop for fun, no license. Do it for commerce, $10,000 or so fine if no pilot license. (I hope the drone pilot license is different from the very expensive real pilot license…) Now it is unclear to me if “inspecting my own crops” is commercial, or not, since you didn’t get handed money for the flight, but then again, the purpose IS monetary gain… One guy got $50,000 of fines for filming some event for a charity and giving them the film for free. He’s trying to figure out how to ‘fight the ticket’…
Back on driverless cars:
My Florida Friend wants one for two reasons.
1) Bar Hopping without ticket risk.
2) When he and spouse can no longer drive. The spouse already “has issues’ making it a bad idea other than in an emergency.
There’s a huge number of folks end up ‘house bound’ due to loss of driving ability. It is a PITA to use “Outreach” or other community sponsored services, and expensive as hell to use a taxi.
Heck, I’d even like to have one from time to time. In addition to having the car be the designated driver, it would be great to point it at Florida, lay the seat out flat, and sleep through the desert… I’d need noise cancelling earphones though… The spouse would certainly benefit. There are days she doesn’t feel up to driving for health reasons ( nothing serious) but would like to go to work. At present, I play chauffer on those days. She would love to have the car do it and let here hands not need to grip anything vibrating… and not have to put the head on a swivel at corners…
One of the folks the spouse works with is blind. She is thrilled at the idea that she might be able to buy (and sort of ‘drive’) her own car someday. Now she is 100% dependent on others.
Then there’s the niece that just doesn’t like driving. Finds it a chore and tension inducing. I know she will be thrilled to just delegate that bother and read her books instead.
Heck, when I was commuting to San Francisco, it was just 2 dead hours every day. I’d have loved to be able to work on the laptop while commuting and billed 2 extra hours a day. Hoards of sales folks and consultants will buy this by the dozen.
Then there’s the convenience things you don’t think about much. Things like “send your car to the shop on its own” so “Hey car, drop me off at work then go get your oil changed!” ;-0 Or having the dealer send the loaner over to you when the car isn’t ready before work finishes… Or the spouse sending the car to the grocers (where they already have the grocery order via internet and know what car to put the bags into…) while she gets her hair done. Time saver.
So there’s lots of reasons why a robotic car is a big feature. Heck, I’d like to be able to load up some of the stuff the kid left here and have the wagon deliver it to Chicago, then wait while I flew in for the holiday week (so no rental car… $400 gas instead of $1600 rental fees… plus anything can be packed in the car, airline luggage not so much). Then have it drop me off at the airport and head home… (the wife’s car could come pick us up at the airport while we wait for mine to get home…) For that kind of thing to work, though, they will need some kind of fueling service; but I expect that will develop pretty darned quick. A special lane at truck stops for autonomous vehicles with an attendant and a 10 ¢ /gallon uplift on price… then eventually a robot to fuel the robot…
What’s clear is that a lot of folks will want them. What’s unclear is how much this will cost and how will it “go wrong”… What new crimes will sprout and what happens when your car hits another car. Is it you who gets the points and tickets? The maker? The seller? What if you forgot to do the required daily camera cleaning?… In parts of Texas, in summer, one hour on the road at sundown and you have a blinding bug smear on the windshield… I doubt Goggle Car has experienced that yet or that it will turn out well. When it stops in the middle of the road on an East Texas highway, who goes to clean the poor dear’s eyes? At what price? And with how long a wait? Who unsnarls all the traffic and robots behind it? And pays for their delay? So I expect ‘free roaming empty’ to be the last thing allowed or working well.
Interesting read here, a life long Democrats view of Trump and why he will vote for him.

That was a remarkably well written article.
A primer on Communist/Socialist economics in the real world
http://humanprogress.org/blog/a-beginners-guide-to-socialist-economics
Got this in the email last night…I’ve started verifying it, but thought having more eyes on would help:
Unproven: http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/brennan.asp
@Larry Ledwick – I have seen a lot of folks (usually liberals embarrassed by the fact that the democrats are the party of slavery and racism) try to say that if Lincoln were alive today, he would be a democrat (I do not think so as the 19th century America is not the 21st century one).
However, I truly believe that both Robert and Jack would not be democrats today – at least in what they stood for. JFK’s massive tax cut is an embarrassment to the democrats of today (they ignore it, hide it, or deny it). Yet that was central to his term. I am not saying they would be Republicans, but they are more conservative than most politicians today. Even George McGovern is more conservative than the democrat party of today! And he was a screaming liberal 44 years ago.
So it does not surprise me that Trump is picking up some old democrats who would never vote “Republican”, but will vote for him. Trump is a true RINO (I hate the term when applied to most republicans as I think it is a misnomer – they are republicans, they are just not conservative). He is hated by both parties.
Sundance suggests we should be prepared for the Progressives to stage violence and then pin it on Trump supporters in the hopes of proping up Hitlery’s failing campaign.
Major Tripwire Alert – Prepare For a Massive Racial Onslaught From The Professional Left…
In the comment explaining what he meant Sundance writes of a possible scenario.
Remember that is just an example of the sort of think the Progressive Globalists might do. There are TRILLIONS of dollars and more power than we can imagine at stake.
That was last night at September 21, 2016 at 1:22 am
And sure enough almost 24 hours later at 10:12 PM – 21 Sep 2016 we see this tweet.
Remember Hilary/Soros paid professional agitators in Bernie shirts were caught acting violently and trying to start fights with the MSM waiting to pounce near by. (Some were IDed by commenters at the TreeHouse.)
Vox Editor: ‘If Trump Comes to Your Town, Start a Riot’
Given what we have seen of the Progressives, I do not think Sundance is wearing a tinfoil hat unfortunately.
philjourdan says: “….So it does not surprise me that Trump is picking up some old democrats who would never vote “Republican”, but will vote for him.

……..
I think you are looking at it wrong. We no longer have ‘two parties’ we have the Uni-party who are Globalists.
Trump represents something entirely different A PATRIOT. And boy oh boy do the DC elite HATE patriots.

GLOBALISTS
The Rockefeller File by Gary Allen
Published June 28th 1976
This was validated by Pascal Lamy former World Trade Organization Director-General. He indicates that an European Union like super state has been the goal since the 1930s.
The world is headed toward greater degrees of globalization — deeper integration, wider cooperation and greater sharing of responsibilities. To govern this globalized world, writes World Trade Organization Director-General Pascal Lamy, existing institutions will need to be reformed to ensure they work together optimally.

YAHOO CONFIRMS MASSIVE DATA BREACH INVOLVING AT LEAST 500 MILLION ACCOUNTS; BELIEVES CULPRIT ‘STATE-SPONSORED ACTOR’
@Larry:
And people wonder why I have no “social networking” accounts, avoid email as much as possible, never make “accounts” or “sign ons” for websites if at all possible, and never click on popups or other click bait…
“For access, please create an account”? Just say no, and find another source…
IFF forced to make an account I put nothing in it…
Well, at least this will be fun to watch…
The same reason why I use one of many aliases for all online activity. Only one site – LinkedIn – has mostly correct info and I don’t link to any extended family on it (nor any other social media – that’s what a phone and end-to-end text encryption are for). Fake birthdays and phone numbers for any site that asks too. I have a password manager on my iPhone that tracks it all. Makes the summer birthday drink from Starbucks on an ordinary day brighter…
Won’t stop TLAs that can track/correlate IPs to aliases (I use a VPN always, but lazily use the same connect paths for aliases I don’t want tied to a region – one alias is specific to MN). But has stopped a tech-savvy stalker from my drug days in college over 30 years ago. He got as close as my wife’s sister’s youngest son’s Facebook account (and from there to my wife).
I realized back in ’87 during the CompuServe flame wars that would rage for days on their forums that having a real name on the internet is not usually a good thing…
E.M.
FYI
http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/2016/09/the-sound-of-se-549.html
(tinfoil hat on) Could the Yahoo thing be a sort of false flag, such that Obama sees the need to protect the elections from “foreign actors”? The breach supposedly happened in 2014; certainly, were it available on the darknet or elsewhere, it would have been “monetized” by now…
I also wonder why Hillary cancels events, such as fund-raisers, and then a real “event”, shooting or what-have-you, occurs in the city or near by where she was to have appeared. Very convenient for anti-second-amendment propaganda… (tinfoil hat off).
@Jeff:
We know Hillary get “requests” from Soros.
We know BLM is a Soros funded organization.
We know BLM riots are planned and coordinated.
By the transitive property of coordination we can assume Hillary was coordinated with BLM.
No tinfoil hat required….
Per Yahoo: only coming out 2 years later? What the… wonder who had stock options vest and sold last year…

It’s enough to make a Greenie turn…uh…green. A new study from the University of Edinburgh finds that electric and hybrid vehicles actually emit more harmful pollution running on streets and highways than conventional vehicles. It turns out that those “zero emissions” from the tailpipe are only part of the story of the pollution emitted by a vehicle as it travels. Chris White of the Daily Caller explains:
Electric vehicles tend to produce more pollutants from tire and brake wear, due in large part to their batteries, as well as the other parts needed to propel them, making them heavier.
These pollutants are emitted when electric vehicle tires and brakes deteriorate as they accelerate or slow down while driving. Timmers and Achten’s research suggests exhaust from traditional vehicles is only about one-third of the total emissions.
A large factor in this weighting of pollutants is the fact that internal combustion engine performance has improved so radically over the past several decades that they actually emit very few pollutants compared to engines of the past. The internal combustion engine is the most highly engineered product on the planet, having been worked on for well over a century by hundreds of thousands of engineers all over the planet. They set a very high bar for electric and hybrid vehicles to beat. The necessity for large, heavy batteries made of toxic materials does increase the weight, complexity, and cost compared to internal combustion vehicles.
And the Edinburgh study does not even consider the environmental impact of manufacturing the complex, heavy, and expensive vehicles, nor does it consider the emissions of the electric generating stations that supply the juice. Add in these factors, and that “zero pollution” claim becomes a joke.

Gee what a surprise, mail in ballots being misused here.
http://denver.cbslocal.com/2016/09/22/cbs4-investigation-finds-dead-voters-casting-ballots-in-colorado/
Just saw on Fox news that Ted Cruz endorsed Trump.
He’ll get some love out of people who were disappointed (P.O.d!) that he didn’t honor his pledge to support the nominee, whoever it turned out to be. Now that he’s come through on his pledge, it should help him in future political endeavors.
Now… about that Governor John ‘Sour Grapes’ Kasich…
Absentee ballots are a great place vote rigging, but take a lot of work.
A small town in Alaska got their politics taken over by a union/Democratic group. Their use of absentee votes overwhelmed the locals, so we did the only thing possible. We out recruited them!
40% more people casted votes then the total population of the town, including the dogs and cats! The mayor’s machine lost control, he and his council members were out.
Only then did the Feds look into the city administrations criminal activities. As long as the Mayor and his people were elected they were protected by the system. Once “voted” out the mayor and his number2 were prosecuted and went to prison for mail fraud, not vote fraud. The prosecutors insisted, “vote fraud does not exist!” …pg
These are not absentee ballots we have shifted to all mail in ballots, they get mailed to the homes of registered voters, and those who voted in prior elections, and you can mail them back or drop them off. I always physically hand deliver the ballot to the county clerks and elections office and put it in their drop box.
The scary thing is it is not illegal for some one to come in with a box of 100+ ballots and drop them off (they are assumed to be acting in good faith to collect and deliver ballots from old folks homes etc. but no reason to believe if someone died in the home in the prior year that someone in the office could intercept that ballot and then include it in a batch delivery.)
It is convenient but they need to run some ballot hygiene on the delivered ballots by screening out ballots from known deceased and those who have moved out of town and filed change of address with the post office.
There is also no way to prevent a son or daughter of a person who is incapable of voting due to mental illness or other incapacity from intercepting their ballot and submitting it for them.
You have to sign the ballot but without comparing to signature cards of some sort there is no control over those actually being the true voter.
with voter fraud laws so weak likely that the strongest way to deal with it is to file mail fraud charges if you can pin down who intercepted the ballot.
@Larry Ledwick; OMG! that means there is no chance of voting fraud crime as there is no controlling authority. No way to even limit it. A Democratic Dream come true! Only the amount of money available as a limit on the ballot stuffing effort.
In the old days you had to show up before people that knew who you were and everyone that vote did so on the same day. Hard to commit fraudulent voting while riding a horse. Back then the key to ballot stuffing was in recording the count…pg
Yes, p.g.sharrow, it seems hopeless. That may be required for the most powerful animals on Earth to discover and accept that a benevolent Higher Power is in total control.
Throughout recorded history, humans regarded that HP as a Diety, but it may be subconscious awareness of a force that created and sustains every atom and life in the solar system.
I know that I don’t know, but that I would be very frightened if politicians were actually in control of anything.
When Senator Cruz announced he would vote for Trump, I replied “Thank you, Senator Cruz, for making that decision.
I hope you will be able to help end eighty years of deceitful science that has isolated all humanity from the creator and sustainer of life, not only here, but worldwide”

https://ballotpedia.org/Voting_in_Colorado
And people actually ask why Colorado suddenly shifted from red to blue. Under this system students can register on line as soon as they have a Colorado drivers license, and get a mail in ballot while absentee voting in their home state. Chances of getting caught with no follow up voter comparisons between states —- nearly zero.
Plus after they finish college as active voters they will keep getting mail in ballots to their old address. Any guess how many new students living in the same dorm/apartment are voting for former residents along with their own vote?
@Oliver; I also said a thank you for Cruz doing the right thing and swallowing his pride and declaring for Trump. Besides, I think he has even less standing as a Natural Born American then Obama. That said He could make a great Supreme Court Justice.
GOD is the soul of the Universe :-) Not some Greek Dude sitting in a cloud LoL…pg
You can use multiple types of identification to register. I bet this group could come up with about a dozen ways these rules could be abused by an unethical person intent on stacking the vote..
Colorado voters must provide a valid form of identification if they choose to vote in person. The identification does not have to include a photo. For a full list of acceptable forms of identification,
http://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/vote/acceptableFormsOfID.html
However, since electors can register to vote until the polls close at 7 p.m. on Election Day, there are always some voters that cannot vote by mail ballot. Therefore, Colorado law requires county clerks to open and operate polling locations called Voter Service and Polling Centers (VSPCs) starting 15 days before the election through Election Day, excluding Sundays. Eligible voters can visit any VSPC in their county of residence to do any of the following:
void their mail ballot to vote in person, (what could possibly go wrong)
register to vote,
update an existing voter registration record,
obtain a mail ballot “over-the-counter,” or (what could possibly go wrong)
vote in person on paper ballots or accessible voting devices.
For online registration this is all you need provide.
https://www.sos.state.co.us/voter-classic/pages/pub/olvr/verifyNewVoter.xhtml
I especially like the idea that you can walk in and ask for a replacement mail in ballot over the counter, then print a thousand clones with anything you wanted on them.
Well according to this they are doing some checking on Colorado ballots.

From twitter:
John Schindler @20committee 12 minutes ago
BREAKING: There are serious indications from #CascadeMallShooting that more than 1 shooter was involved & they were not English speakers.
Another Ian, here you are:
Happy to help. I just hope the information is still there. If not I copied a lot of it to my private notes and would be happy to post it here.
(Thank you E.M. for letting us do that sort of thing.)
Interesting thing just popped up on twitter, some guy back tracing followers of the cascade mall shooting has found a guy (Sunil Bohara) that appears to match the pictures of the shooter, and has only 2 tweets and joined just this month. He is following only the cascade mall shooting the T-mobil cascade mall accounts and one other person named Nelson Barkett who has no tweets and joined in 1911 and has as his handle “cascade mall”.
Going back to the original guy, and checking his likes they include first an arabic language driving school then a tweet about the cascade mall which references that the shooter might be hispanic and one listing the death toll at cascade mall, hten liked his own picture then all the following likes are arabic tweets.
It will be interesting to see if this is a valid starting point for investigation. Also it might indicate a way that terrorists communicate. His first tweet was just jibbrish “Dhbgyh” right before the assault (was this and indication he was heading out to make the attack or just a cat walked across the keyboard test to see if his tweets worked? If someone knew to watch for that account it could be a “signal in the blind” that he was on his way to cascade mall, and his second was his picture after the attack occurred.
This is definitely tenuous circumstantial evidence but will have to watch how this case develops with this in mind.
Interesting video analysis of police shootings and racial bias by police. Showed up in facebook but found it at its source.

So it seems that technically HRC and Cheryl Mills never had a security clearence because they never signed their mandatory Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement forms.

@Gail:
I don’t delete anything for age and consider TIPS to be an open forum and archive for whatever interests a person. So, you are most welcome. I just wish comment search was better for readers. FWIW, I can do text searches in comments (all threads at once) but it is a minor pita, so please keep requests for me to do that “modest” ;-)
@Larry:
Cascade mall shooting? I’ve lost the plot… is this a new shooting?
The gibberish might need parsing into 3 letter grroups, vowels added, and Arabic translation…
SO , anyone who sent (c) info to them is guilty of violations too ?? :-)

Shooting at cascade mall Macy’s store at the makeup counter just the other day, killed 4 women and injured a man
http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/23/us/washington-mall-shooting/
They only have a picture of the suspect and are speculating he is hispanic but because there are not direct clues are discounting terrorism. The MO fits a jihad attack on “vain women” but no physical confirmation of it.
Bombing just happened in Budapest outside a club.

@Larry:
Damn! Nothing at all on the TV “news” channels. They seem to think nothing newsworthy happens on the weekends (or really after 5 PM EST) or outside the border of the USA (unless is impacts the election).
Well, looks like you scouped them!
Looks like it is going to be big, and folks are using the generic location #tags for now:
Strong explosion in the center of Budapest… Curly ( I think curved or circled) perimeter right now. Cause unknown. There would be injured [folks] (control) pic.twitter.com/xc1dH4xqLV
At least 2 people on the ground visibly injured after explosion of unknown origin in Budapest in Hungry.
Maybe after Trumps speech folks will think it news… ( CNN / MSNBC not so much) This is the kind of stuff I pick up from RT more than US sources.
Actually first showed up on twitter an hour ago, (http://www.alboenews.com/explosion-in-budapest/) drudge picked it up 37 minutes ago. That is why I monitor twitter now it seems to be the most reliable early reporter of “important stuff”.
E.M. I am now pretty good at doing searches. I notice recently that google is now making it harder to do searches for my comments here and at Tony Hellers. It used to be very easy.
And forget doing a search for a phrase from the comments at ConservativeTreeHouse. I can have the whole paragraph saved and still not find the URL via Google or any of the search engines.
If you follow the a large selection of news feeds you get stuff very quickly, every time I get a good lead like this I add that source to my follow list in this case just added the twitter link for http://www.alboenews.com
By the very nature of Twitter it lends itself to breaking news tips so you can chase down better info.
The UK newspapers seem to do a good job on European news good picture coverage and initial reports.
Gail do you use the advanced search option?
limit search to just the domain you are interested in and the “exact phrase” for your search key usually works very well for me.

Larry says “…. speculating he is hispanic.” Sorry Larry, that does not mean a darn thing. Islam is not a race it is a political ideology (some call it a religion)
A person, especially a person who is a former prison inmate could easily been a Hispanic muslim.
Radical Islam makes inroads among Latin America’s Native peoples – February 21, 2010
July 2010 Hezbollah Terrorists On Our Southern Border (The Drug cartel and muslim terrorist have become best buddies.)
Also islam specifically targets prison populations for conversion. They even wait outside of the prisons to scarf up released inmates according to an old article on Islamberg in New York state.
Here is a newer article.
Islam loves American Prisons
And other articles.
U.S. Prisons Churning Out Thousands Of Radicalized Inmates
Prisons are breeding grounds for jihadists
My take is that the shooter is Syrian, because he has more European features than one would find in a Mexican (not so much facial hair, sharper countours). Living in Germany we often see folks of Syrian descent (and the fake Syrians as well). It will be interesting to see where this fellow is from, as well as his weapon (F&F?). I just hope and pray they catch him soon.
Note “I did not say he was hispanic” that is what the official and media line is, probably to deflect suspicion from the possibility it was terrorist related.
Not sure where to put this so posting it here in tips.

Well, the SF guy had an airsoft “gun” i.e. a toy.
The “Hispanic” isn’t. But he’s been captured now.
Still not much on Budapest… I think I need to subscribe to some online European news channels. On weekends, the USA news just stops and turns into “reality” unreal TV dreck and happytalk with the occasional political rant interspersed with endless reruns of whatever was the last PC Coalition Push from Friday… Sigh.
I remember TV news…. It was pretty good once…
Yes I have noticed that the news only does working hours any more, 9 – 5 Mon – Fri with a bit of sports on the weekend.
I originally was very very reluctant to sign up for twitter, but finally bit the bullet. I think in all the time I have been on it I have only made 18 tweets but have deleted all but the first 2 I sent to be sure it was working, and only a couple friends follow me (serves as another back channel means to communicate with them if other paths like email are broken), all others are rejected.
You can setup with any alias screen name you want so except for the login profile info, it can be pretty anonymous.
As I said if you only follow feeds like major media, local law enforcement, local emergency management and a couple other “connected” people, you can get very prompt info on breaking stories. Every time I run across a feed that seems really good I first check out their home page on twitter and if I like what I see I follow for a while. If they start producing slanted crap or uninteresting stuff you can easily unfollow them.
By following the local law enforcement and fire authorities you often get heads up tweets from them even before the media has a clue about things like fires, bank robberies, streets closed for accidents or law enforcement activity. This morning I was seeing tweets from colorado state patrol on first snow fall on the passes etc.
I only follow a hand full of news commentators and political commentators but they often retweet sources I would never find otherwise, which leads me to continue following that source.
Most of the major media have twitter and often break a story on twitter tens of minutes before the “breaking story” shows up on their main online page.
@Larry:
I’d likely use Twitter too, except a ‘reliable source’ told me they put a beacon on your machine, even if you just read their site. I’d need to have a dedicated “twitter only” system, and that would defeat the speed advantage as I’d need to swap chips and boot it up every time I wanted to get Tweets… Or sped a day or so crafting a firewall filter to suppress their information mining…
That’s the problem with ALL “social media”. It exists for the purpose of profiling and tracking you and then selling your information. I just can’t “go there”. To many decades in the trenches…
Maybe I’ll get a new dedicated burner smart phone (about $25 last I looked) and set it up as the Twitter Box… Then again, I’m over subscribed already on time issues…. so maybe not.
I think maybe I just need to take the time to line up a few good online news sources that I can monitor as “pull” sources, and just forget about the TV news.
Remember that 9-5 M-F is Eastern Time… That’s 6-2 Pacific. Gives me about 6 or sometimes just 4 hours of “news” on the “news” channels. ( I rarely watch local news as it is abominably local. I don’t care At All what the Mayor of S.F. is doing, which streets will be closed tomorrow in Oakland, or what the BART delays are…
Oh well. I was thinking I needed to plan an orderly retreat from TV. THE major thing that has kept me on it was all the news channels. In the last decade it was an annoyance how it had changed, In the last year or two it has become non-news Opinion Shows and a load of crap on late evenings and weekends. Heck, Fox Business runs infomercials and half our long shows selling pots. Really? They can’t find enough business guys or traders willing to watch the business channel on the weekend? Selling pots is getting a bigger audience?
I think it’s the NYC mindset…
Frankly, I’ve started watching more of RFD for news. It’s on “way early” but they have really good long range weather and news that isn’t loaded up with political raw-raw… (besides, I like the tractor shows and the crop production reporting is stellar. Very good grain crop this year, so don’t expect high prices.)
Well, enough grousing from me… I’m going to go search for some online news channels so I can start ramping down my TV… Maybe I’ll dig out the Chromebox (now that I’ve proven I can live months without it on the Pi_M3…) and set it up as the media center. I’d threatened to do that… and I have already loaded it up with bookmarks for a load of foreign stations. (Irish News for several reasons and Portuguese when I was teaching the Brazilian kids…) Yeah, I like that idea…
Since I only have one HDMI display, I’m going “off line” for a while as I swap it in…
@EMSmith; My grandson and have been checking Goodwill and such for computer stuff and managed to pick up a nice LG Flatron wide for $10 so it looks like the cascade of used stuff has reached that level. Lots and lots of SVGA flat screens available. Now I need to get a RasPi- 3 and get with the change over as you have done the proof of concept. nice winter project 8-)…pg
Interesting read in Russian, need to translate the article
http://www.novayagazeta.ru/comments/74689.html
@P.G.:
Nice idea… but the problem is more the desk realestate… and the need to haul more “stuff” into the house. I’ve got a goal of “de junking”, and that means less stuff… We’ll see how long I can hold to that goal ;-)
@Larry:
Well, the ChromeBox had a few nice things and one not so nice. “Adblock” now pops a new begging window whenever you use a page with ads… Nothing like an Ad Blocker that shoves an ad in your face… So I’ve uninstalled it. (I think maybe my DNS blocking will be enough. I’d put the Adblock extension in when on the road and without my DNS blocker)
I also was happy to see the nice set of news shows I’d bookmarked when on the road.
I was unhappy at how they have changed.
Aljazeera America had a nice story on hydroponics and is now doing one on the iPhone locking. Now it’s back to the hydroponics story again.
http://www.euronews.com/live is happily covering the news about the Mall in Washington… nothing about Hungary…
I found a nice list of Hungarian stations… all in Hungarian… ++ for authenticity, but a demerit for not realizing the entire internet does not speak Hungarian… but as a ‘relay’ product for Hungarians on the road, hey, great.
I’ve got a half dozen Portuguese stations… Wonder if the little Portuguese I’d learned has evaporated in a year and a half… and if they care at all about Hungary…
I’ve got a half dozen Religious channels… from when the spouse sometimes wanted to ‘attend’ mass without leaving the house in Florida (some of those storms…) but while there is a Catholic News program, it is about 1/2 hour a day, and not now.
http://wwitv.com/news_tv_live/index.html
has a nice list of “live news” shows from around the world… Hey, lets search through 50 different languages trying to fine a show about Hungary…
France24 has news in French, English, and Arabic(!) on different channels, so I’m going to launch it for now: http://www.france24.com/en/livefeed but the commercial was in French… running a news program about… race and shootings in America…
Sigh.
Clearly the mix I’d selected while “on the road” in hotels and temp rental are quite different from what I want now.
OK, time to start directed searching…
Yes, I know, kind of silly to want TV over the Computer, but my work habits are set up to have a regular news show, with choices selected by the Editor, running in the background while I do something else. I’m not interested in clicking something every 2 minutes to say “yes, next story, that one, 4 down and 3 over…” Well, France In English is OK for now, and who knows, might even have some world news…
This is what CBS has. Pretty useless:
Something went boom. 2 down. No news in the news…
OK, I guess I’m going to let go of the Hungarian Bombardy for now and assume it isn’t all that important, it’s only 2 people, and it is far more important to endlessly obsess over a museum on the Washington Mall and one guy who got shot almost a week ago…
OTOH, the media playing ability of the Chromebox is better than the Pi (more reliable sound), so setting it up for media makes sense. Guess what I’ll be doing more of tonight… Under Arch, on the Pi, it mostly runs videos fine… but sometimes the sound garbles, then works on the same video later… I also suspect the Chromebox has more buffer… it doesn’t seem to ever have a pause.
OK, I’m going back to work…
Just a comment on the changes in the news. Last night a thought popped into my head that I think explains it. As the large newspapers have crashed in circulation and power as the internet took their major income stream (classified advertising) they closed down lots of news bureaus and cut news staff. At first it was streamlining and cutting excess, but as the cuts got deeper and deeper they started gutting their ability to handle fast breaking news in house and had to start depending on outside sources. One of these symptoms was the elimination of entire departments like the staff news photographers, who got fired so that some random reporter could use a smart phone to take a couple snap shots at a news event. At first they depended on UPI and AP, BBC and other large organizations (we don’t need to have a full news department, we can just pull stuff off the wire from the big guys in real time) but in time they also took the hit as news was no longer the viewer/reader draw that it used to be as younger generations not having grown up in the cold war period were not the news junkies that their parents were. Their focus shifted to All Kardashian all the time and similar celebrity coverage to get viewer interest. I think that shift began about the time that People Magazine first broke into the top of the heap and showed that well done gossip magazines had potential to draw revenue.
I think the fact that news organizations have recently shifted to the “you report” model of depending on consumers to feed them on the spot video and reports is sort of the last straw in this chain of events. The viewers are now seen as a resource to be used rather than the market to supply, and also to some extent useful fools that if we give them a by-line on their photo they will send us for free what we used to pay big bucks to procure. No longer need to employ staff photographers and street beat reporters, just need a few journalism majors and some folks to cruise the web and pull bits and pieces from other sources and glue them together to make a story.
The times they are a changing!
Something you won’t hear about in your local news cast.
https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2016/09/25/muslim-migrants-terrorise-entire-dutch-city-with-random-attacks-on-locals-for-months
Speaking of what you won’t hear in the news and our previous posts about Russia and their recent adventures in broad spectrum hacking of everything in sight, and their penchant for special warfare in the Ukraine. Then season with our discussions about intentional provocation operations by Soro’s affiliated groups, it is worth while to take a look back at history and what can be accomplished when someone completely controls the narrative and the opponent is led to believe something that differs substantially from the truth.
A brief summary of deception operations in WWII prior to Normandy and how they totally owned the German intelligence information flow.
Click to access tavares_fortitude.pdf
Now take that scenario and modernize it with Russian hackers having extensive background information on millions of people especially those with military connections, deep penetrations of multiple critical government data systems and their hacking expertise combined with intentional disinformation operations which exploit a compliant media.
What if our picture of Russia is like Germany’s picture of allied preparations in WWII?
What if our intelligence community is just as arrogant as the Germans were and is getting systematically played?

[Police investigating the explosion in Malmo
An explosion was heard in Malmö shortly after 20:30 on Sunday evening.
– It should have been a loud bang. We check it right now, says Johanna Persson of police in Skåne.
According to witness statements to Aftonbladet heard a powerful explosion in parts of Malmö on Sunday evening.
– It was an incredibly powerful explosion that spread across the town. I called the police, who then worked with the calling was there was någontstans through hints, says a witness.
According to police, has now managed to locate the hit to the south of the city.
– We have received it to have heard a loud bang in Fosie area, says Johanna Persson.
According to police, at least a patrol sent to the site to try to verify this information.]
It will be interesting to see if this makes the news in the US.

Via a simple “Yes” to the question to translate the page in Chrome on the Chromebox (so 100% Google / Alphabet all the way). Seems to match my limited Swedish (picked up while working at Ericsonn… not fluent).
Four people are cared for at the moment of SUS in Malmö after the shooting in Fosie in Malmö.
Still at 21.30 o’clock it is unclear how injured the four people are.
– The only thing I can confirm is that the emergency department received four people are under treatment, says Thomas Nilsson, press officer.
The shooting occurred at 19 o’clock in the Censor street in the southern parts of the city. A major police operation in progress in the area. According to SVT freelance reporter on the scene Mikael Nilsson has been prevented residents to move freely in the area to not disturb the work of the police inside the cordon.
– Many of the residents may not come out of the houses. I saw a constable to lead a family through the basement door, says Mikael Nilsson.
Four people confirmed injured
According to the police confirmed four people being injured by bullets. Three people, said to the unknown way taken to the hospital, and one has been transferred by ambulance.
– We get the alarm about the progress some sort of gunfire at 18:52 and we send resources there. When we arrive at the location is more than one person injured, says Ewa-Gun Westford police communicator.
Securing location
A good hour later, the police still no overview of the injury situation.
– We are working to secure the site, who have been there, we will keep the initial hearing and make a technical examination. We still have no hindsight this, says Ewa-Gun Westford.
No suspects are yet to be arrested.
– Data says that the perpetrators should have left on a moped, says Anna Göransson on police control.
Crowd outside the emergency room
Police have cordoned off outside the emergency room in Malmo. There, gathered just after the incident, a crowd of people who appreciate SVT Nyheter reporter reached around 100 people during the evening. Only the very closest relatives were admitted in the hospital.
A relative of one of the wounded said to SVT Nyheter’s reporter that he learned about what had happened and went directly to the hospital. Injured comes in both private vehicles and ambulances. A person SVT talking to on the spot said to be relative of one of the injured, a 23 year old man.
– We also need to shore up the SUS in Malmö, in the emergency room, in order to facilitate the flow when several patients come in, says Ewa-Gun Westford.
During the evening, the police had about ten police vans in place at the emergency room.
The notification regarding the attempted murder
Police have found shell casings at the scene. The crime scene cordoned off and technicians will carry out a technical examination. The police will set up a notification regarding the attempted murder.
Witnesses tell Sydsvenskan that several bangs were heard and that the two people then carried away to two cars left the scene.
– The feet sticking out the window of the car, said the witness told the newspaper.
Football Derby
There are many police officers in the city because there is an ongoing allsvenskt football derby between Malmö FF and Helsingborgs IF.
– We will of course let police officers from the commanding to help, says Ewa-Gun Westford.
The article is updated
So far only nbc news has anything on this and is just a link provided by “breaking news” one of the feeds I monitor on twitter to a swedish language page I already touched on above.
@Larry:
FWIW, Swedish isn’t a very hard language to learn. Structurally similar to English. Mostly a few strange verbs and pronouns and auxiliary words. Many of the rest are similar to English with a transliteration.
Det enda jag kan bekräfta är att akutmottagningen fått in fyra personer som är under behandling, säger Thomas Nilsson, pressinformatör.
The only thing I can confirm is that the emergency department received four people are under treatment, says Thomas Nilsson, press officer.
Jag is “i”, kan is can direct match, det the close enough, is ar like the conjugation in English, fyra four personer persons under=under behandling ~”being handled’ sager said press officer pressinformator… Then you get a few odd words that take a bit more work or a dictionary lookup, like “akutmottagningen”…
You can load up a basic grammar school ability in about a week.

Per Russian Hacking:
I’m not sure all of it is Russian. A significant part will be people bouncing off Russia, or posing. Were I going to do a high level hack, I’d try to make it look like the landing point was Russia just as that terminates most legal cooperation / hunting and warrants…
But, that said, the Russians and the Chinese have been on the wrong end of the US effort to assure most every significant electronic product we produce is open to the NSA. They’ve caught on to things like Microsoft have a “3 pass DES” that was really about a pass and a dodge… and NSA ‘advising’ on encryption such that a State Actor with enough computes can break it, but you not so much. They KNOW our TLAs were penetrating them for decades. So… “Turn about is fair play”… China made Kylin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kylin_%28operating_system%29 as a secure alternative and started inserting backdoors, viruses, and hacks into anything sent over for manufacture in China. (Those cute electronic picture frames? At least one brand was found to be pre-loaded with a MS PC hacking virus to phone home to China… Why I prefer NOT to use ANY China built gear for anything critical if at all possible.)
Russia took the approach of using those exploits built in to help the NSA, to help themselves. A Knight Fork of sorts. “You can take out the hacks, and make Russia safer, or leave them in and be an open book to us. Your choice.” Can’t blame them. It is the risk many of us, me included, were complaining about in the 1990s when the TLA games gained currency. You can make equipment and OSs secure, or YOU will be exposed.
Now once you know that the NSA / FBI / CIA are all in on “Total Information Awareness” (which they are), it is perfectly fine to play the Reciprocal Game… and exploit your adversaries tools for your own gain.
Oh, and the first rule of infowarfare is to gather ALL the information you can. Filter and select later. Now this is best done smartly. Sneak in with small probes. Suck out the very best most important bits without waking up the watchdogs… Then slowly ramp up the flow until cut off. If you get 100%, great… That is EXACTLY what the Russian TLAs do. It is what I would do running one of their agencies (or one of ours). Though I’d likely add the finesse that the first 10% is done with one set of tools, then those are erased, and the second tier tools used for the next 40%, then erased, and the final 50% done with third tier tools. Never expose your best tricks to the volume watchdogs…
In short, none of this is a surprise. It has been fully anticipated since at least 1990. It is largely avoidable. It is the fault of the deliberate pushing of weak security onto the American domestic market (and internationals buying America) for the benefit of American TLAs.
Want real security? Use hardware made in somewhere other than the USA and China. Run BSD on it. Add IDS Intrusion Detection Systems and packet sniffers and even things as simple as data volume reports by time of day and “blinkey lights” when logged in. Oh, and if it doesn’t absolutely positively NEED to be plugged into the computer and available, leave it unplugged, and if the computer does not absolutely positively NEED to be connected to the internet RIGHT NOW, disconnect it. Finally, have one machine NOT networked for your really private stuff and another connected for public stuff. ( I actually have about 8 major “images” is use for different purposes, and then rotate what they are with some regularity. Crap may sneak in to the Web Search system, but it just can’t make the leap to the Private Archive system… or the email system… or… The Media Player… or…)
I first started suspecting the buggering was deliberate when looking at MS being chosen for preferential use in Government… right after Apple declined to make security weak… Confirmed when Apple became “approved” right after joining PRISM…
Oh Well… those who do not 100% approve, endorse, and push security; will be the victims of their own insecurity… Yin, meet Yang coming right up your own back door…
Obviously the media cannot “cover everything” but the more of this sort of thing I notice and go digging to find the limits, the more interesting it is to me how different editorial selection regarding what qualifies as news.
So far the AP has not picked this up, and it is my impression that lots of the US major media are really just mirrors for AP stories, as most of them copy the AP release word for word with byline.
Perhaps the AP has become the “pool” news provider for the major American media, and they expend little effort to find news themselves.
The question of importance is how much of this selective coverage is just random variation in editorial choices or adherence to an approved list of topics?
The Mirror in UK has an item on it (of course being European it is more local to them)
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/gun-attack-malmo-leaves-multiple-8912762
The https://www.theguardian.com/uk does not yet have anything on it.
A look at how establishment folks tend to antagonize voters and drive them away during a time when there is a social revolt going on against the establishment. Interesting comments.

Here is the sterilized version of the shooting incident in Malmo by the AP, appearing word for word in several outlets. Example from Daily Herald so looks like UK timezone time stamp.
German media: Four people shot, one critical, one shot in the head (probably the one who’s critical).
Similar to Hamburg and Berlin, there are “families” of Moslems (mostly Lebanese- and Turks)
who fight with each other and anyone else in “fighting distance”.
They divvy up the various “establishments” much as the Mafia are said to do: prostitution, drugs, gambling, petty thefts, car “repurposing”, etc. We’ve had a problem here in north Germany for many years now; it’s getting worse (no) thanks to our new “guests”.
What Merkel and the “progressive” politicians don’t seem to understand is that these folks tend to be “tribal” as opposed to firstname.lastname (etc.). I know this for a fact as a close family member took a trip to Lebanon and was astonished that he was only identified as a member of the x family, as opposed to his real name. He was good and truly gobsmacked…
As long as we don’t understand the culture, and “our enemy”, as it may be, we have no chance of understanding the situation, let alone changing it…
Since we are talking about homicide rates in the other thread, here is the most dangerous animal in America.
The deer (mostly due to their kamikaze attacks on cars)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3806557/The-dangerous-animal-America-DEER.html
@Larry:
circa 1965 a deer took out the front of Dad’s car, whole family in it, but for being mid landing, so low, would have come through the windshield. As it was, we all walked away. It was at the end of a bridge, so no way to swerve much…
Then about 3 years ago, I had one jump in front of the SLC in Indiana at night. A very quick swerve kept me alive, but passenger side headlight and fender not so much. Car now gone to others for repair, maybe.
I worry more when I see a deer sign by the road than anything else. Twice in one lifetime is strong odds… and I’ve already won 2 out of 2…
E.M. My present truck took out one deer in MA, another in PA, a third in NC and the last in Tennessee. (I am due for another and you can not swerve easily hauling a trailer as I was each time.)
I really do like a nice solid old truck with a diesel. My truck is high enough the deer bounce of the bumper or the sides instead of coming through a window. With the last one we had to straighten the door some so it would open but other wise my Deer Slayer wears her scars proudly.
I am about to get out the sand paper and paint for the annual touch-up this week. The nice thing about a black truck is the paint color is not a problem.

My lady took on a BIG mule tail buck with her SEL Mersadies at 65mph in the middle of the day!
Talk about a kamikaze attack. I watched this deer run below the road for at least a half a mile then as the road slowly turned, he swerved, jumped the fence and landed in the road right in front me in the passenger seat BANG!! Deer went flying over the car and we drove nearly 20 miles to where we could park the car. Kind of mashed the right front and the radiator. Never did discover what happened to the deer. He wasn’t there that evening….pg

September 28, 2015 Americans’ Trust in Media Remains at Historical Low
Notice the two categories of “a great deal” or “a fair amount” had to be combined. This is new because the historic reporting of just “a great deal” formerly used is now below 10%. (More ‘Hide the Decline’ )
This year is worse:
September 14, 2016 Americans’ Trust in Mass Media Sinks to New Low
Given Gallop says Obummers approval rating is 54% and the Unemployment is 9.7% (Instead of the more realistic 23%) It makes you wonder just how far the ‘trust in media’ has really sunk.
Luckily an April 18, 2016 article tells you what Gallup is trying to hide. Only 6% of Americans trust the media – survey
I wonder how badly the trust has eroded since April.

I stumbled across this looking for information on the origin of Political Correctness as we know it. In thinking about it I realized that those who try to enforce political correctness on others are in fact self appointed political officers straight out of the old Soviet Union, and that periods totalitarian communist governments. I was pondering how effective that tack would be in calling them on their behavior by telling them I do not recognize their appointment to be my political officer or some other way to put that fact front and center. The only thing missing is that with rare exceptions most of them cannot send you to a gulag for not being PC (yet) although this paper above does point out that modern college campuses have crossed that line and are in effect little tiny self appointed North Koreas as far as political correctness is concerned.
You can’t eliminate Political Correctness until the average person realizes it is simply totalitarian thought control and the first stage toward the kind of oppressive totalitarian rule we saw in the old Soviet Union and other communist governments of the 20th century.

Larry says: “….I stumbled across this looking for information on the origin of Political Correctness as we know it…..”
In the book Willing Accomplices: How KGB Covert Influence Agents Created Political Correctness and Destroyed America by Kent Clizbe also goes into Political Correctness. Your article covered the think tank Clizbe covers how the infection was spread.
The covert influence operations that Clizbe details in his book, were what Khrushchev was referring to when he said:
“Your children will live under communism. “You Americans are so gullible. No, you won’t accept Communism outright; but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of Socialism until you will finally wake up and find that you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you; we’ll so weaken your economy, until you fall like overripe fruit into our hands.”
Khrushchev would have been well aware of the KGB’s activities in the USA.
This is a bunch of sliced and diced and mixed passages from his book:
It is interesting to read this from the point of view of a CIA operative.
Larry, if you are interested in that stuff (Frankfort School), I found this a very good article:

Yes Gail I am interested in that sort of thing although I don’t dig into the weeds deep enough to be able to quote what date who did what, but want to understand the over all topography.
I will have to pickup that book by Clizbe, it appears to be as interesting as the book I mentioned “Disinformation”.
Like you I for a long time thought a lot of these assertions about the source of some programs were really off the wall but over the years you slowly begin to see the pieces of the puzzle fit only one narrative. It is clear that the old Soviet/Communist influence is still a very important factor and has taken root in some elements of society to the point it is to use the health sciences phrase, has become endemic in higher education etc.
I think it is so deeply imprinted that for many of the unwitting accomplices, it will take a great shock to force them to step back from the dogma they have taken on board uncritically.
If not then we are talking about a 50+ year program of slowly pushing this back because we have a couple generations of students who have been indoctrinated in this mind set, and deprogramming any significant fraction of them will be a long slow slog.

That was so small a number of homes I doubted the calculation so I looked up household water usage in California.
This page pegs it at 190895 gallons/household/year if you do the math with the southern household number (ie LA etc.) or 108040 gallons per household per year if you use the northern number (which is apparently what they did because that works out to 2777 households use about 35 million gallons of water a year. Even amortized over a 10 year service life for the balls it does not make any economic sense to me.

Bill shock: Deutsche Bank bailout denials spark 2008 Lehman Brothers comparisons
AFP
September 28, 2016 7:40pm
THE German government and Deutsche Bank were at pains Wednesday to quash speculation of a rescue plan for the troubled lender, in an effort to reassure investors spooked by a potentially massive US fine.
The denials came after Deutsche’s share price sank to a record low this week on reports that Germany’s biggest bank had asked Berlin for help after US authorities demanded an unaffordable $US14 billion ($18.21 billion) fine over the subprime mortgage crisis.
State aid “is not on the table”, chief executive John Cryan told Germany’s biggest-selling newspaper Bild.
But investors were further rattled when news weekly Die Zeit on Wednesday reported that German and EU officials were working on an emergency plan for Deutsche “if the worst comes to the worst”.

Germany’s finance ministry swiftly shot down any talk of such a bailout. “The report is wrong. The government is not preparing rescue plans. There are no grounds for such speculation,” the ministry said in a statement.
Reacting to the flurry of news, Deutsche Bank’s shares gained 2.04 per cent by close of trade in Frankfurt, ending the session at 10.77 euros ($15.71), while the DAX 30 index of leading German shares gained 0.74 per cent.
Uncertainty over the bank’s financial health had seen shares hit a record low on Monday, dropping 7.54 per cent to close at 10.55 euros ($15.39) and ending at the same level on Tuesday.

OFFLOADING ASSETS
Deutsche has been dominating business headlines ever since the US Department of Justice (DoJ) made its demand for the eye-watering fine earlier this month.
If Deutsche is unable to negotiate the sum down to less than the $US5.5 billion ($7.15 billion) it has set aside for legal costs and fines, it could be forced to raise fresh capital on the markets, diluting the value of its shares, or weakening its balance sheet.
“We expect the DoJ will treat us just as fairly as the American banks” that have settled for much less in similar cases, Cryan insisted to Bild.
Eager to show investors it was working to clean up its balance sheet, Deutsche on Wednesday announced it had agreed to offload its British insurance company Abbey Life to life insurer Phoenix Group for 1.1 billion euros ($1.6 billion), which will provide a slight boost to its capital buffer.
‘AT NO POINT’ ASKED FOR HELP
Cryan insisted to Bild that he had “at no point” asked Chancellor Angela Merkel for a rescue.
But Die Zeit is to report on Thursday on plans by Berlin “if the worst comes to the worst” to sell off parts of Deutsche to other financial institutions, and possibly buy a 25 per cent stake.
Some voices in the government favour involving the European Single Resolution Mechanism, set up in the wake of the financial crisis to prevent taxpayer bailouts of failing banks, the newspaper said.

In that case, creditors and customers would bear a share of the rescue costs — potentially creating fresh chaos on the financial markets.
German officials believe attempting to intercede with the US authorities could be “potentially counter-productive”, Die Zeit said in an extract sent out on Wednesday.
Deutsche faces further looming problems in the shape of an investigation by New York regulators into alleged money laundering at its Russian branch.
The two cases are among the most pressing of some 8000 weighing on Deutsche, and CEO Cryan has promised to resolve them by the end of the year.
The lender’s woes come as European banks complain of a harsh business environment, confronting low interest rates cutting into their profit margins, anaemic economic growth, fierce competition and high requirements on the amount of capital they must hold as a buffer against future crises.
European Central Bank president Mario Draghi rejected attempts to blame him for Deutsche’s travails.
“If a bank represents a systemic threat for the eurozone, this cannot be because of low interest rates,” he told journalists in Berlin after meeting with German politicians.
In the boss’s chair at Deutsche Bank for a little over a year, Cryan has launched a massive restructuring of the Frankfurt institution and plans to slash almost 9000 jobs worldwide by 2020.
Shares in the bank have lost more than half of their value since January after it booked an almost 7 billion euro ($10.21 billion) loss in 2015.
Writing in The Telegraph, financial commentator Matthew Lynn said the Deutsche Bank crisis could take down Chancellor Merkel and the euro.
“Last October, the shares were at 27 euros. Back in 2007, they were over 100 euros, and even in the spring of 2009, when banks were crashing all across the world, they were still trading at close on 17 euros,” he wrote.
“For most of this year they have been sliding fast. On Monday, they crashed again, down another 6pc. Its bonds have slumped as well, while the cost of credit default swaps — essentially a way of hedging against a collapse — have jumped. It all has a very 2008 feel to it.”

@Larry:
I avoid all tylenol (acetaminophen) and ibuprofen products whenever possible. Tylenol is the leading cause of liver transplants (as just a little alcohol with it can blow out your liver) and I discovered that ibuprofen does the same (though was not warned by the doctor or the bottle) after washing some down with wine resulted in the spouse, next day, asking why my eyes were yellow… (recovered by the day after…)
Aspirin, BTW, protects against that metabolic pathway to liver damage AND the damage of just alcohol on the liver… So taking an aspirin WITH tylenol or WITH wine is a good idea…
Yes aware of the issue with Tylenol etc. have a former co-worker who was an EMT in California and he will not touch the stuff. He explained that the toxic dose is so low that people can destroy their liver without even knowing it with routine self medication. I know a guy who I went to school with who recently was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver who does not drink!
He did however take a pain killer every night before going to bed to get rid of aches and pains (over weight and probably some arthritis).
The good news is that the liver is one of the bodies most resilient organs, if given a chance to heal it can recover from a lot of damage, but chronic use and as you mentioned the synergistic effect of alcohol can cause severe damage with easily achieved over doses.
the following NyQuil preparations have alcohol in them as well as Acetaminophen
– NyQuil Cold and Flu Nighttime Relief Liquid
– NyQuil Severe Cold and Flu Nighttime Relief Liquid
– ZzzQuil brand Sleep-Aid from the makers of NyQuil)
I was not aware of the blocking effect of Aspirin. Aspirin is the only pain killer I use if it is available I occasionally have used one of the NSAIDs but do so very reluctantly and very rarely for exactly that reason. I could easily hold all the NSAIDs I have ever taken in the palm of one hand.

I’d also like to get the Vit C pathway working like it does in most other animals… Green skin with chlorophyll would be nice too. Goes with purple in an interesting way… and you could just lay by the pool when hungry… or hang from the gazebo by your tail while reading.
But I wouldn’t want to do anything drastic, like 4 arms or extra eyes looking backward, or a centaure body… but maybe adding bird cones (they have 4 to our 3 types) to the eyes would give a richer color palette and maybe UV vision… and I wouldn’t mind Vulcan ears with ultrasonic hearing to about 40,000 hz… and maybe olfactory abilities like a wolf…
Yeah, that’s about it. Not all that much, really… maybe…
It will happen. Just when is in doubt.

Went river-fishing for big catfish yesterday – Interstate highway for an hour an then 1.5 hours along the ‘river road’ until I met up with my fellow fishing deplorables, which by-the-by are a completely different set of deplorables from Hillary’s.
I saw more Trump pence yard signs (the small size and several of the 4′ x 6′) than I could count; 50? 75? No Hillary signs.
I have seen two Hillary bumper stickers to date and no yard signs.

I think Boron (Which raises DHT and turns you into a man!) is the cause of Autoimmune disease, as it appears that Boron is a cofactor for NAD+, and NAD+ low is causing autoimmune.
U can feel the energy of boron after a few days I find.
Iodine is critical for the thyroid, but the parathyroids require Boron, which controls the whole calcium metabolism, whereby Boron and Magnesium are more important then calcium.
Boron makes bones super hard, harder to cut in surgery, maybe has implications in Periodontal disease?
Raises DHT and phopharates sex hormones to active form.
Low Boron is the cause of Hillary voters in men :P! Low active Testo! :P

No, She is gaslighting you. Trump got the MOST VOTES for a GOP primary candidate DESPITE a field of 17!!! He won over 1/2 the delegates too, despite the cheating.
Right now the name of the game is to convince voters that although THEY voted Trump no one else did. It is also very important to convince the rest of the world that Hillary can win the election. The illusion of a functional democracy MUST be kept up at all costs especially after Brexit The Movie and Brexit the Vote.
The collusion among the entire MSM to present the fiction of Hillary as neck and neck is absolutely critical if the the globalists are to steal the election cleanly and give it to Clinton. This is why the MSM is busy using bogus polls and articles like you linked to showing Clinton is a viable candidate while online and other polls show she is losing by a wide margin. WHY? Because we out number them by a YUGE amount AND we have guns AND we have a pretty darn good idea of WHO ‘TPTB’ are and it ain’t the politicians they have been hiding behind.
……
The ‘Deplorable Movement’ started with the libertarians (1971) and then with the Tea Party.
Rasmussen Reports back in 2010 found the voters surveyed actually split to 1/3 (R) 1/3 (D) and 1/3 (Tea Party) This frightened the globalists so badly they moved to discredit (Blair-Rockefeller poll) and infiltrate the Tea Party. And it worked because there was no strong media savvy leader.
More recently Rasmussen finds just 11% of Likely U.S. Voters think Congress is doing a good or excellent job “…. Fifty-seven percent (57%) say Congress is doing a poor job, down slightly from 60% in February, but generally in line with previous surveys…. Just 24% think their representative in Congress is the best possible person for the job.” Only 28% Say U.S. [is] Heading in Right Direction and Sixty-one percent (61%) of all voters think most members of Congress are willing to sell their vote for either cash or a campaign contribution, and the same percentage (61%) thinks it’s likely their own representative has already done so.
These numbers, 1/3 OK with the present government and 2/3s disgusted with the US government align with the online Trump polls AND with Real Housewives of NYC impromptu poll.

Yes, the polls published by the media are AGENDA polls with the specific agenda of driving the Sheeple to vote a certain way. Everyone wants to be on the ‘Winning Team’. It is also used to cast doubt and demoralize the opposition. Companies are paid to produce the results desired. We have certainly learned that from CAGW.
If you use the ‘Social Media Poll’ from early August you get this:
Facebook Likes
Trump = 10,174,358 = 65.4%
Clinton = 5,385,959 = 34.6%
Facebook Live Stream
…………….. likes ………. shares ………… views
Trump = 165,000……….18,167 ……….1,500,000
Clinton = 11,000…..ZERO…….321,000
This shows just how much voters lack enthusiasm is for Hillary.
Youtube Live Stream
Trump = 30,000
Clinton = 500
Twitter Followers
Trump = 10.6 million =56.7%
Clinton = 8.1 million = 43.3%
Reddit Subscribers (the young voters)
Trump = 197,896 = 71.3 %
Clinton = 24,429 = 8.8 %
Hillary for Prison = 55,228 = 19.9 % (Jill Stein/not voting?)
More on dishonest polls:
After Reuters polling showed a 17 point swing in the last two weeks of July, to benefit Donald Trumplink There was panic.
So Reuters made changes to keep the narrative going that Hillary was leading Trump.
So independents just got tossed into the Hillary bucket…. I am sure the Bernie supporters and other third party voters would love to know that.
While early polls would show less support for Trump BEFORE THE CONVENTION, the exit of bernie voters from the democratic party is happening AFTER Wikileaks showed the corruption in the DNC.
So it was OK if Trump’s numbers were too low but when the shoe is on Hitler’s vote we have to change the polls.

Live video feed for Trump rally in Pueblo Colorado.
Very conversational tone with this rally, not the bombast everyone expects, he is talking to the crowd like they are sitting around the stove in the general store.
Live event is over, as he was walking off the stage had 3758 viewers watching the live feed.
Full speech should be available soon, so I can catch the very start of the event.
He directly addressed illegal immigration in front of a crowd in a city which have very high hispanic population and was well received. In that part of Colorado some hispanic families can trace their residence here back before Colorado was a state and even before the US was founded.
He also directly challenged the drug crime syndicates and told them we were going to shut them down and control the drug problem.
It will be interesting to see the media coverage on this speech but he used a more conversational style which I think worked very well, like he was talking to a small group.
Looks like this is the full speech. Big crowd

For background Loveland is a northern Colorado community, will draw a lot of rural folks from nearby. The town itself is an older community lots of retired. Not a college town, about halfway between Ft. Collins and Boulder college towns.
Trump is on the podium, 14,671 + viewers on the online feed.
Trump just said that they have set the all time attendance record for the building and people are still arriving. One guy arrived at 04:30 in the morning to get in.
@philjourdan – re Hillary stickers – Yup. I usually see stickers l-o-o-ng before this point in an election. I think I’ve seen a half-dozen Bernie stickers since the convention.
That drive along the river road and all those Trump signs was a real eye-opener. The MSM is really working the polls to support Hillary.
Just broke 23,000 online viewers.
Standing room only in the arena, good positive crowd.
Max viewers of the live feed about 25,900 just as he wrapped up the speech.
Pretty much the same speech he gave in Pueblo with local customizations.
They completely filled the arena. This arena is about 40 miles north of the Denver Metro area and about 45 miles south of Cheyenne Wyoming which has a large military population at F.E.Warren AFB and the missile wings which extend into north eastern Colorado.

live video link for the wikileaks dump.
Right now 18,972 folks are watching the link for things to start.
In the time it took to type this viewers have climbed to 21,000
Well so far a half hour of “Gee Wikileaks is wonderful” sales pitch. Obviously taking advantage of the draw of a possible release of HRC dirty laundry to get some free air time.
52,000 watching this video feed at this time. Some Italian Journalist is droning on about working with wiki as a partner.
The 3:00 am announcement was a bait and switch, basically an advertisement for wiki and announcing some changes they have planned such as increasing media partnerships to better handle the massive number of documents they have and now doing a sales pitch for some books.
A little bit ago he made a comment to folks in the US that if they were doing a dump on the US elections it would not occur at 3:00 am, of course this is after folks suffered through a pretty amateur PR presentation.
viewers peaked around 60,000 for this feed but viewers are dropping now that it is obvious they will not be doing the dump now. They are saying they will be doing drops on a weekly basis on several subjects.
The NY Times hit piece shows why the progressives have been after Trump’s taxes. It would be common knowledge among the globalists that he had losses carried forward and therefore was probably paying little or no taxes. However, except for the yuppies living in nothing but apartments and working for a salary, anyone who has owned more than one house or owned a small business would be familiar with losses carried forward.
This hit piece only works on the young brain dead SJ Warriors who have no friends in the crafts, music or other small business. And it only works on those not voting Trump in the first place. The Bernie Kids are NOT going to vote Hitlery because of this hit piece. They will vote Jill Stein (who also has probably used this or something similar with her schooling costs link ) OR they will not vote at all.
All the hit piece does is confirm that Trump is an outsider with the MSM and Congress gunning for him. It might even shift a few more voters in his direction.
Heck they are even floating a special bill just for Trump. Why didn’t they do the same for Ted Cruz and Obummer who refused to cough up passports, college records…. Things that as EMPLOYERS we would normally be able to see on new EMPLOYEES. (You do not get to see someone’s taxes as an employer.)

Everybody in for the VP debate tonight?
I’ll be watching for more subtle ‘baseball signals’ since the facial signal was outed. I’ll be counting how many times Kaine taps the podium, shifts feet. moves left or right of the podium, stares upwards as if thinking of an answer while Pence is talking, etc.
Pence, of course, will get no help from the moderator.
I’ve seen some of Pence’s stump speeches and he’s quite good. However, the traditional role of the VP candidates is to be the attack dogs that let us know what a lying, cheating, child-roasting, kitten-drowning, racist, stupid, person the other Presidential candidate is, and is also known to grease the steps of the Old Folks Home with Vaseline and yell, “FIRE!”
Pence would do well to blow off every attempt at this strategy with something like, “Well, that’s a nice traditional ad hom, but here’s what [policy/proposal] we should really be talking about.”
Mike Pence is a really nice guy and smart as a whip. He makes Kaine look like the sleaze he is. So I would expect the unexpected.
The attack dogs in this campaign are the WOLVERINES, the ‘Deplorable Vulgarians.’
Gail wrote:
“He makes Kaine look like the sleaze he is.”
Kaine, in public, reminds me of Eddie Haskell on Leave It to Beaver when he was interacting with Ward or June Cleaver; smarmy and obsequious to such an absurd degree that it was laughable.
I’ll be watching tonight to see if I still get that ‘Eddie Haskell’ vibe.
@Gail That’s an awesome wolverine pic.
On that note saw an hilarious meme on face book or twitter yesterday (can’t find it now) it was a split frame image of Kaine and a weasel. The subliminal association was priceless.

I now “snag a copy” of any article or pdf that is interesting to me or jpg that I link too. I’ll just use the online version in the article, but a copy of the original gets archived on MY disk…

Luckily a lot of people have been doing the same so copies are often all over the internet. Of course with google making it harder to use a phrase as a search clue that is not as useful as it used to be.
I find it incredible that I put in a phrase in “…” and google STILL pulls up all the disinfo they want to feed you instead of what you are actually searching for. GRRRRRrrrr

VP Debate note
OK, I’m not seeing Eddie Haskell in Kaine. I’m seeing a fast-talking used car salesman. He’s talking so fast and interrupting so much as going all over the place that I don’t think anyone is ‘hearing’ Kaine. Pence is measured and making his points, for better or worse, such that no one can remember what the %@#! Kaine said 3 minutes ago.
Kaine just took a sip of water and he has two glasses. Is the un-fluted glass a signal? I’ll have to check to see if the glasses are the same or not.
(Thanks for the pics, Gail. Great ones! Thanks for the yard sign update, Larry. It’s all anecdotal and area specific, but everyone drives and sees a lot of cars so the bumper sticker report says a lot.)
I am sure there are a lot of voters thinking: If Hitlery dies or is incapacitated during her first term this is the guy that will be President?!? WTF!!! YUCK!!!

Sidebar: Once, on a contract long long ago, I found out the client had NO offsite backups. I spun a set of 8mm helical scan tapes and stuck them in my (several hundred pound) safe at home. THEN wrote up an offsite storage plan, got “buy in” and implemented. First tapes to go in? “My” set from home. So was that unauthorized theft of data, or prudent defending of the client from extraordinary risk? Depends on if the lawyers show up before the fire or earthquake… (there were no policies against it… they didn’t have data policies either… lot of work at that one…)
BTW, on day two when getting ‘authorization’ to write the plan, I mea culpa-ed the home offsite to the V.P. who gave authorization to continue it until a new safe deposit box at the bank could be arranged for the offsite escrow…
I think this is called signalling.

@Larry:
The basic problem is that debt really just changes who gets what when in the present, vs the future. It doesn’t and cannot change how much is made in the present or really the future. So politicians and companies promise big increases in production via borrowed money, but ignore the reduced poduction from NOT using that money wherever it would have gone instead.
There is a maximum fixed production limit set by technology level and constructed physical capital. The only way to get more is improved technical methods or more constructed capital. Do it better or build a factory / mine / farm / ships & rail & roads-trucks. Everything else is supportive or consumption…
So borrowing money can change which of those you do, but not change total product unless you cut back consumption and increase physical capital stock. Politicians and financial manipulators forget or ignore that…

E.M.Smith says: “…. It doesn’t and cannot change how much is made in the present or really the future….”
Politicians forget that money is nothing but the medium of exchange, money especially fiat bank script, has no other value outside of that. (Toilet paper is actually worth more than bank script without government backing.)
“The function of money is to facilitate the business of the market by acting as a common medium of exchange” – Mises
Mises defined money as the most marketable commodity. “It is the most marketable good which people accept because they want to offer it in later acts of impersonal exchange” Anything can be money from obsidian arrow heads to Hudson Bay Blankets to gold, silver and copper.
However to me the most critical point is the economy at one point in time is a ‘fixed pie’ when you increase the supply of money you are not increasing that economic pie, instead you are DECREASING the value of money causing price inflation/wage devaluation. This is why politicians and the Elite LOVE fiat money. It allows wholesale theft from the entire economy with a minimum of effort.
Russia is playing an international chess match like it was a 5 card stud poker game. Lots of hard bluffs and intimidation tactics — so just where is the line that they will not cross and how much do they think they can get away with if they push hard enough.
The military analysis here fits my feelings very well except that the author clearly believes the Clinton poll numbers and thinks she has a lock on the election. How does this strategy calculus change if Trump wins the election and he refuses to be pushed?
It is very clear that who ever wins this election cycle, will get seriously tested by Russia in the opening months of their term.
Obama has allowed Russia to set up check mate moves in Syria and eastern European theater, there will be no easy way to reverse what Obama has given away because of his incompetence and ideological filters.

One more bit on Russia and Syria — wondering if they could be doing a stealth build up of arms/ammunition for a big offensive?
They seem to be preparing the battle field for something big (recently installed S-300 anti-aircraft missiles) heavily loaded ships might mean stockpiles of ordinance being assembled. In that part of the world military operations are easier outside the peak summer temperature months such as the Gulf war from August to February, when temperatures moderate. If they were going to do something big the last few months of the current administration would fit that time table perfectly. Since Russia must transport supplies through the Bosporus which can be choked off, they would want to pre-position enough munitions to accomplish the intended end result before they began a major push.

I am surprised California does not do this in the southern part of the state and the San Joaquin valley. – Or – maybe they do and it is not common knowledge.

That article Putin’s Activation of ‘Iskander-M’ Ballistic Missile Is a Message to Obama is just another Progressive hit piece on Putin (and Trump) to justify the war with Russia that the globalists want. Does Putin hold Obummer in contempt? Oh yes, but he also has a heck of a lot better understanding of Islam than the brain dead progressives. Given Putin was working in Germany, I am also sure he has very complete files on Angela Merkel instigator of the Rapeugee influx.

Both Kerry and Obama are stupid enough and ideology blinded enough that they probably actually believe their own spin that they are trying to create peace. What they are really doing is dangling red meat just within reach of a hungry junk yard dog (Putin). All the recent moves by Russia are like the preparing to spring moves of a cat or a wolf, you know he is going to move the only question is when and what the trigger will be.
He simply cannot pass up the opening. The real motivations of the current administration is debatable, Hillary’s are not she wants to pick a fight. Regardless we are entering a period like during the Cuban Missile crisis or the Berlin blockade where one small miscalculation could loose the dogs of war.
Putin is a predator ( a smart and cunning predator ) who thinks big and has the audacity to try things others would not. Enticing that sort of leader with a prize he can’t resist almost always ends badly for everyone.
The author of that Observer article actually has a lot of posts about how to prevent what is and has been happening and on the international strategic front has been almost 100% right, local US politics not so much. Having worked counter intelligence for years he has a much better perspective than most on what really happens vs what people want to happen or believe will happen.
We are seeing the exact same behavior from the Chinese, by their own statements they feel war with the US is inevitable. We are compelled by treaty and historical precedent to keep the sea lanes open in the south china sea, and they are compelled by their history and rising power both economic and military to take control of those sea lanes.
http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/05/china_warns_that_war_is_inevitable.html
Obama has always been too little too late and constantly trying to close the barn door long after the horses have gone.
This sort of open saber rattling has been rare until recently but both sides now see windows. The US knows we are much less capable than we were just a decade ago, and must put up a good bluff, and the Russians increasingly think they have enough military capability to run a good bluff on us and that Obama will back down if push comes to shove.
This is exactly how WWI started.

At this point I think the Elite are in a really tough position.
1. In Europe, despite all the censorship, the rape and terrorism brought about by the influx of barbaric muslims is evident to most citizens including those in the USA.
2. The blatant propaganda of the MSM has been outed and those who trust in the media is down to ~6%. Meanwhile viewers of Alt-media is skyrocketing esp with Hillary threatening Breitbart and Alex Jones.
3. Obama has DOUBLED the federal debt with ZERO to show for it except for losing wars and his buddies shovelling ‘stimulus $$$’ into their pockets, all the while crying crocodile tear as their ‘Clean Energy’ companies go bankrupt. Many of the Blacks who were hoping for a better life are P.O. Farrakhan to Obama: Let Trump Do Want He Wants, You Failed Inner City Blacks
4. You would have to be brain dead not to see that unemployment is up, wages are down, 14 factories a day are closing, the trade deficit is up and the elite in DC don’t give a flying F…. because they are invested in companies that have moved overseas.
5. The propaganda that the presidential race is a ‘tie’ or Hillary is leading is routinely debunked all over the internet. This means an election stolen for Hillary is NOT going to fly and WILL be contested in one manner… or another. (Remember Law Enforcement Unions now back Trump.)
6. Despite the Obama admin’s attempt to remove guns from US citizens —– “If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an out right [gun] ban, I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren’t here” ~ Diane Feinstein —– The number of guns held by Americans esp. democrats has gone up dramatically.
7. “If you look at studies of “fragile States” or the relationship between government repression, citizen tolerance of violence, and uprisings, we’re surprisingly far down the curve.” The problem for the elite is an intelligent, well prepared and targeted uprising instead of random violence like in Africa. The Norway Utoya Island camp killings, where the next generation of progressive up and coming politicians from all over the world were gathered, is the type of targeted vs random I am talking of. (and no I do not approve and I certainly hope it does not come to that..)
The last and biggest problem for the elite is the awakening of the Russian Bear and Chinese Dragon who are also NATIONALISTIC —- OOPS.
……
The Elites whole plan was based on weakening the USA militarily, monetarily and economically while using American resources to build up the economies of the 2nd and 3rd world. The globalists, with their eyes on their Socialist Utopia, forgot to make sure the countries they were helping were actually on board the Globalist Train and not smiling sweetly while readying the knifes for their backs.
And don’t forget Saudi Arabia in the Janus faced group. They are funding Hillary while their citizens were part of the 9/11 attack and are behind a lot of the unrest in the Middle East.
………..
What I am worried about is with Power being as addictive as cocaine and with Trillions of dollars and jail sentences at state, the Elite will go for broke. I think they hope to bull their way to victory (Hillary as president) or hope only the 2nd and 3rd tier suck-ups, the politicians, reporters, and CEOs get taken out while they continue to hide in the shadows.
At this point they are as dangerous as a pack of cornered rabid rats.

Re your presidential election proceedings.
Way back when I got my masters thesis back after about the fourth rewrite. The message from my supervisor that it was about ready to submit was on one of those tear-off calender leaves – with the quote for the day
“Conjure up no more spirits than you can conjure down”.*
In that spirit I suggest a reading of the item “Mussolini” in John Steinbeck’s “Once there was a War”
I can scan and email if you need it. Unless you have a copy It is likely to be just slightly more available than a copy of Ralph Nader’s attempt to demolish the Beetle – The R & T work over seems to be more available on that.
That will give an excuse to add to your Celtic collection from another item there-in.
* That quote has been a handy reminder ever since

Weather forecasting is as much an art as science.
A FLOP is a failure especially in artistic productions.
PENTA indicates the use of the multiplier of a thousand trillion.
Therefore this computer has a performance rating of a thousand trillion flops, or failures, before it gets a correct forecast. Thankfully it does the flops very fast, almost too fast to see.

Oops off by a few billion…
A PETA is the ability of a computer to do one quadrillion.
And scientifically a quadrillion is so many more than just a thousand trillion. In fact it’s lots more, so large in fact it can almost calculate the number of mistruths from the Obama/H. Clinton partnership.”
