@ bernard ross:
Why are the Feds dithering about whether to press charges and make arrests? Conspiracy to commit a crime is a crime, too.
So, according to the video, the penalty for breaking anti-terrorist laws is up to 5 years in prison? If you ever ride the Bus or subway or take a cab in NY, there are signs everywhere that assaulting a driver or operator can get you up to 25 years in prison. Post Office, too. But conspiracy to disrupt the Presidential inauguration by creating a mass panic through contaminating the air supply — people get trampled in mass panics, many people died that way at Stalin’s funeral, not to mention those with ashthma — possibly even endangering the safety of the President — gets 5 years? Come on.
It”s like my recent discovery at the McDonalds around the corner from me that the Egg McMuffin without Bacon was nearly twice the price of the Egg McMuffin without sausage. Is President Trump’s safety not as important as that of a bus driver, a cab driver, a postal worker, a token booth clerk, or a subway conductor? Not that cab drivers don’t deserve respect or anything. Somethin’ screwy in the state of Denmark, you ask me.

I want to point out to israpundits how things really work:
It is almost hilarious, a case of hide in plain sight… I have been following Hifter/Hafter for a few years… he is without a doubt the CIA’s man… and now we see he has the support of russia… read the details closely and then read this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalifa_Haftar
😛 😛 😛
and now, knowing that read this:
Once one understands that every sunni jihad group is a proxy of sunni nations it becomes obvious that Turkey’s proxies are now being directed according to Russian Turkey agreements
These arab springs were always proxy wars… the sunnis, Turkey, Egypt, Gulf arabs, western nations…. against the Russian, Iran, Syrian, shia nations… the jihadis are cannon fodder who are morphed from theatre to theatre.. now that we see crossover occuring I beleive it is the sign of the dividing up of interests and agreement. As this progresses and their wars are resolved, Israel must beware that they return to Israel as their scapegoat… as their understandings with Israel are based on their war with Iran. War among the enemies has been a blessing to Israel.

I once played a wedding on the water at an elite country club in the Hamptons. The sky was the most beautiful, clear blue and white horizon you ever saw — a Zionist sky, I might say, in retrospective. Stunning.

I googled the Rabbis listed in this mess. One is Reconstructionist, two are ordained in Conservative Judaism. Two Jewish Theological Seminary students (Conservative) once screamed at me threateningly and one asked if I was threatening him when I calmly said that I supported Jewish sovereignty over all of Eretz Israel in a restaurant. I need no more than this to be in favor of denying these radical clowns access to the Kotel. Let them commune in their living rooms. They always have the option of a wall size Kotel screen saver, maybe with a projector if not a huge screen. If making Aliya is “goin’ up,” I say to these buffoons, “Come on down!” The water’s fine.

@ Edgar G.:
“Daughter of Time” is one of my favorites from my childhood. A society to vindicate Richard III was created because of it. He was actually, one of England’s best Kings, maybe the best. Historical research in the form of a novel. He was responsible for Habeus Corpus, giving quarter in war in cases of surrender, actually in the context of conquering Ireland. Very popular. Overthrown by French mercenaries because his allies were late to the battle. Henry, Elizabeth’s grandfather was the father of the star chamber and fake news/history. And Shakespeare lived under Elizabeth. The book he used for his model was by one of the chief conspirators, copied by Sir Thomas More who grew up in his house. Actually, More’ s Utopia might be the earliest example of Soft Sci-fi..
Margaret Cavendish married one of Charles I’s generals who was very supportive of her writing career. Became a Duchess. Famously, outrageously flamboyant. Should be a movie about her. She was the only woman to be invited as a guest to the Royal Scientific Society, the first woman to publish under her own name in the West. (In another post, I mentioned Tan Yunxian, who published a recently republished medical treatise under her own name two hundred years earlier* in China.) One of the earliest science fiction writers. I believe her and de Bergerac’s novels are the earliest works of Hard Sci-fi.

Unrelated: Did actually just finish the second season of a terrific contemporary series from here.

Won two Emmy’s in 2016.

@ bernard ross:
Very smart. We’ve seen how sensitive companies can be to public opinion. Look at Walmart. That’s why paradoxically, I found that non-profits are the most oppressive to their employees and the least accountable to the public because their funding is guaranteed. No accident that people who staff union offices always belong to other unions.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
Interesting to note there is no mention of Israel in the article about the Gaza comedian being arrested for satirizing the power shortages. Just Hamas and Egypt. They know over there whose bed they’ve made and are forced to lie in, even if they fool people over here.
@ Sebastien Zorn:
I remember when King was shot. I didn’t know who he was as My bedtime was before the news came on, as I was in second grade, but I was a devoted fan of this other King https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_King
whose comedy variety show (oddly excluded from this article) I watched faithfully, every week. I’ll never forget that “shot heard ’round the world” when I was straining to hear the tv at my parent’s bedroom door — I was supposed to be asleep — and I heard those fateful words: “King’s been shot.”
I said to myself, “damn, they even shot the comic?”

Interesting article showing that trump rhetoric is actually effective on the boardroom level even before any action is taken or he takes office
I recently read an article talking about how Hillary lost an election, as if she should have won. Folks still dont understand what happened with Trump, bernie sander is starting to get it:
1-Trump vanquished 17 estb gop competitors and whole gop machine and donor network
2-Trump vanquished the corrupt USA security services and their dem party controllers, wiping out the dem candidate
3-Trump vanquished the whole hostile estab bought media…
Trump used social media to go directly to US public…
4-Trump completely understood the election as a marketing campaign by weekly asking his supporters their priority issues and marketing to those issues rather than touting his own platforms. He understands the american masses, probably from the years of his TV shows.
There is something much more to trump than his simplistic tweets suggest. I think we are going to watch and learn. The only MO I can identify so far is that he identifies his goals, identifies the problems, then tailors his actions to deal with the specific targeted goals.
trump should re open this
“South African President: Don’t visit Israel

I regret helping to organize protests against Apartheid in the ’80s. If I had it to do over, I would just stay home. Why should I bother to care what happens to peoples who oppress my people, whether directly or indirectly. What makes them so special? To hell with them. They can all go drown themselves for all I care.
“How Israel helped the apartheid-era blacks of South Africa”
“One of the supreme ironies of those who claim Israel is “an apartheid state” can be seen from this 1997 article, by David Kaplan, recently rediscovered, which describes Israel’s involvement in helping the blacks of South Africa during the apartheid era.”

Not that I can take any credit for contributions cited in above article of which I was ignorant, in any case. I was active in coalitions as a pro-pal idiot.
But, then again, maybe I was too hasty. I remember a history course with a famous professor who said that whenever you came across lots of laws repeatedly banning or discouraging something, you could take that as a sign that it was popular. I will reserve judgement. For now.

@ honeybee:
Aaah. I understand. This is about those dramas. I think you misunderstand the plots. “I married for a Job” is a contemporary Japanese re-working of the ’70s American sitcom, “Three’s Company”. They are just room-mates, in the Japanese one, she is his housekeeper, he her employer. But they need a place to stay and society will not condone unmarried men and women living together or believe it to be platonic when it is. So, in “Three’s Company” he pretends to be gay and in “We Married for a Job” they pretend to be married when they are just room-mates and he is paying her a salary with benefits. They are both sexless, workaholic nerds (which is common in Japan today, no accident “Vulcans” are based on the Japanese, there have been articles about it, not the Vulcans, the Japanese) But people around them are getting suspicious and they have to throw their suspicions off. In so, doing, they gradually fall in love, in spite of themselves and everybody’s terror at the possibility of being accused of sexual or power harassment. It’s also the opposite of a recent American movie about two casually recreational sex partners who find themselves falling in love.
In “Secret Spy Erika”, she was a top spy who got sick of it and longed for the simple life of a housewife and mother so concealing her background she marries a gentle widowed salary man with a small child. But, her old boss who was mysteriously fired, has started his own agency and blackmails her into working part-time as an agent by threatening to reveal who she really is to her family. She almost refuses but each time a client shows up who is a woman who is being wronged and wants justice, mission-impossible style, and she can’t bring herself to say no out of a sense of outraged justice, though she’s still pissed off at being in this situation. Plus there is the question of why her boss was fired, Russian spies, and treason in the agency to be resolved. Meanwhile, her five-year-old step-son doesn’t trust her yet, her saintly husband is starting to get suspicious, and she is as much of a klutz as a housewife and mother as she is a master of spycraft, disguise, and martial arts. Lots of martial arts and great music. We don’t make fun, clever, complicated, mind-bending, role, moree, and envelope challenging movies or dramas like this anymore, for the most part. One of the American Studios as going to do an American remake of the S. Korean hit, “MY Love From the Stars” shortly, though I just read it has been shelved. Netflix and Amazon Video are doing joint productions with Japanese companies and showing them. We’ve passed them the ball and they’re running with it.

@ bernard ross:
There is a Republican majority in both houses so good luck with this try…. Not sure their contention that an elector can be considered a government office holder either for purpose of rejecting their votes and they all have republican alternates if any are disqualified for any reason. It’s bullshit in any-case and if true for republicans I am sure the democrats are as guilty if not more all it could do at best is to delay but it won’t come to that tomorrow it will all be certified. I tend to agree with you that there is too much agitating against the Trump victory to be normal reaction so there must be serious fear of what Trump might do or find out…. political parties do lose and after 8 years almost to be expected to lose. Something is up and even Trump has for him gone silent suddenly except for a few tweets he is off the visible radar. As for Generals? Obama fired a whole passel of generals…TOP GENERALS: OBAMA IS ‘PURGING THE MILITARY’

@ yamit82:
It is also possible that huge truths about obama, and th eothers, may be coming out. Lets remember that all the black mobs are controlled by the dems and soros.. they used them in the election and I expect them, like a cornered cat, to activate them now.
Trumps approach seems very measured and economical.. no big noise… but he directly debunks their false narratives about the hacking directly on twitter unfiltered still by MSM. If Trump is correct about the hacking, and I beleive he is, then it is a direct confrontation with those running the intelligence and security agencies. it is possible that Trump expects confrontations and appointing military men is to establish a stronger chain of command in the event of confrontation.
That weird link I sent you avered that the CIA is powerless and a red herring… that the real intelligence and power is in the military intelligence sector.
yamit82 Said:
I think he is trying to create disorder, destablization along with the rest of the cabal…
I doubt its revenge… I think it is very similar to the orchestrated uprisings of arab spring… they are activating all their assets… shumer says the dems must obstruct and not cooperate, same with most dem members.. big protests planned.. I have never seen big protests here after elections.. it usually subsides. I have never seen a lame duck pres create so many problems intentionally on his way out. It could be to obstruct investigations into all their crimes and more. It could be a swan song of the globalists and their leftist muslim useful idiots…. unwilling to step back and afraid of being deposed and exposed.. all over europe too. Perhaps Piczenik was right and there was a soft coup going on and perhaps they are flexing their muscles now to threaten trump with repercussions if he threatens them. i was hoping that Rudy did not take a position because he is being brought back as special counsel.
the whole thing is very unusual
Perhaps this is the real reason that Trump appointed all the military men.. perhaps he realizes the enormity of the problem and intends to purge them… I hope so
I stumbled on this very strange video by accident and normally I blow these things off but this one though long and even with its obvious offputting items, drew me in. A number of facts coincided with things I knew
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8ly0c0_Rnk
I am worried that they are going to create the same kind of disorder they did in the arab spring nations… perhaps thats why they were bringing in all these muslims too. The whole vibe is very weird… I feel like Mr JOnes
