Arthur Rothstein President Roosevelt tours drought area, near Bismarck, North Dakota Aug 1936

Very nice; well done; sharp, good contrast, composition, spot on IMO…

As for the rest? What I find most disturbing, is specifically the internationally criminal treatment of Julian Assange; but what is far, far worse is the blatant apathy of the entire “free” world, towards Assange’s obvious torture and worse, for simply telling the truth; about a fascist killing machine’s war crimes…
I think most Usians just have no idea of what their apathy on this is going to bring them in their future; unspeakable crimes so bad that they’ll finally wake up and utter WTF?
But it will be too f*^#@g late to act…

Roosevelt…just before he ordered farmers to plow under crops while people starved. Brilliant! Experts!

Ah, but we care JUST SO MUCH about people imprisoned and dead 80 years, about statues and slaves happening 250 years ago…and absolutely nothing about concentration camps, executions, and slavery happening today. …In fact, people who oversaw the re-establishment of western slavery got the Nobel Peace Prize, I kid you not! That’s the #Helping and #Caring we have. And in our dudgeon, we wonder what THEY were thinking, those stupid people in 1939 and 1839. How dare they, immoral beasts! We are so, SO much better, enlightened. Practically perfect in every way. Ain’t none o’ that in St. Louis and San Antonio, Paris and Belmarsh, no sireee!

“Make no mistake: all roads lead to Putin” – Nancy Pelosi, Dec 5th, 2019

Great. One problem: HOW? So you’re now going to point to Mueller, who couldn’t find anything, and the three things he did sort of find are essentially reversed in court: Flynn, the click farm, and Popadopolous. Doesn’t matter. When you’re #AntiLogos religion, “We create reality now, and while you’re reacting to that, we’ll create it again, and again, and again…” Great plan, btw. However, it is paramount to madness, insanity, and despair. But when #AntiLogos is your god, madness, violence, and despair ARE your goals, QED, so everything is going perfectly.

What strikes me is the weakness of the fascist, authoritarian, #AntiLogos people: total lack of latitude and imagination, they’re like cartoon minions. “No! It can’t be! My master plan! It’s Impossible!!!” So just as if they get orders from some Dr. Evil who will kill them if they waver even slightly, when the original plan for “Russia Interference” – confirmed to have been established day after election with Podesta and other top-strategists – goes awry, they just go forward into Mueller. And when that goes awry, they haul Mueller before Congress. And when that goes awry, they do the same accusations and reports in Ukraine. And when that goes awry, they resurrect Mueller, which just went awry a month ago, and proceed as if what they planned and hoped actually happened. …And like every day since HRC catastrophically lost to Cheeto. As some wag said yesterday, “If they think trotting out legal ‘experts’ from Harvard and Yale is going to sway the American people, they’ve learned nothing about why they lost in 2016.” Word.

…So here we are again. Maddow’s dried off, Back in Baby’s Arms again, crying RussiaRussiaRussia! How can we NOT believe it? And myself, and every voter in PA, MI, WI, plus Nunes, Guiliani, McConnell, Tulsi Gabbard, Bernie Sanders, the media, the Vermont Electric Board, Jill Stein, and probably the Pope are all Russians too! People, I’m Serial here. Why won’t you believe me?

And as they say, we send 14k troops as mercenaries to Saudi, who are supporting the deaths of 30k civilians in an illegal war crime and embargo that extends to pirating oil tankers to Syria too, and THIS is what they impeach on. Well, history will remember if there are any books left after the war.

Okay, next thought: although they are mindless minions and zealots, they’re not stupid. An Impeachment goes to a Republican Senate and the bar is 2/3 vote. What are they up to? I know Pool for instance has deep frustrations with the do-nothing Republicans, but I think this is wanted and much desired. No one’s going to learn unless we have a Bright Red Mecha-McCarthy roaming free, smashing towns reporters and citizens with his illegal wiretapping AT&T subpoena-gun. The GOP has warned about this since before Reagan, that they would trample state customs, stop all speech, follow all reporters, confiscate all guns, cancel all Bill of Rights. No one cared, it was a joke. So…here ya go! Just like they said for 50 years! 100% totally correct. The public has their own problems at home, so they need to see that written large. Then these guys are establishing the best-possible, slam-dunk case for, say, Schiff to be indicted for doing exactly what he says Trump does, but McCabe, Nadler, Biden, Hillary, and even Obama too. Why stop them? And if they DON’T impeach, how are you going to have a trial in the Senate, with actual evidence, actual witnesses, and actual perjury, televised on a National TV that won’t report anything except its #OppositeLand? Please: carry on, you’re doing great. Transmute me unto that smilax genera patch hastily, at thine earliest convenience.

For the GOP, there is yet a chance someone can come to their senses. It’s not ALL the DNC that’s involved; it’s not ALL of any one. It’s only this layer of self-serving sellouts to China etc, who are a rogue state led by the CIA openly named as far back as Kennedy, and Eisenhower before him. They didn’t invent this, you know. So if the DNC chooses, left and center, they can stop this madness, take their medicine, and let the bad apples of “Chinese spy-hire” Pelosi, “Human-trafficking port” Schiff, “State headmaster” Brennan, and his installed agent Obama take the fall for the actions they provably did, and move on fairly and openly with the reformed, people’s party. They may or may not do that, but a house impeachment vote will reveal their loyalties. My party right or wrong, my tribe uber alles? Or to look to their voters in Colorado, Iowa, and Michigan and away from billionaires Bloomberg, Gates, Sandeep, Zucker…and J.J. Epstein. Spot-check. That’s also critical for Barr and the GOP to know how to proceed as everyone indicts everyone, as Talib said she would, marching into the floor of Congress and locking up the President and his Generals in Detroit County Jail. (I expect she hasn’t read a military history book.) So, so many chances to back out, like the two recent House members who flipped. Or Lisa Page, who it seemed might have a sort of DoJ deal, now wants to go public against it. Does that show who wants to split the country, and who wants to just drain it? Only time will tell.

“Ukraine Fires Prosecutor Investigating Burisma and Hunter Biden (CDMedia)”

Since overseas, I’d be absolutely sure they already have all the evidence – they’ve had 3 years for the NSA to B&E – but this can muddy the chain-of-evidence, if that’s all you have. Nice how it brings Soros in, though. Much desired. But it’s impossible for him to do wrong because it’s a ‘trope.’ No billionaire has ever used his money for political ends, never, nor has he ever coordinated with other billionaires and power-blocs to do so. It’s unheard of! And if you removed all those pages from the history books, you’d have…well, probably just the title page and glossary. But nobody reads “books,” so who can really tell?

“Fed Goes Hog-Wild with T-Bills, But Repos Drop and MBS Shrink by $22 Bn (WS)”

Not entirely. Like everyone else in ‘government’, they are lying weasels and put the continually-rising amounts in back-charts and footnotes. …Probably borrowed an expert from BLS on how to do it more weaselly. It’s $350B and still rising, and all the stated numbers are prefaced, with “At LEAST X” meaning $350B is a MINIMUM, with no drink maximum for Happy Hour. Timed perfectly to market-break if/when impeachment goes forward. Mnuchin is a villain but he’s not a dummy, he follows orders.

“a significant majority said it would chill their speech online.”

Well, that is the point. And I love how they keep saying, “If we don’t look out, we could end up in a dystopian 1984 state.” Could? Where have you been the last 10, 20, 30, 40 years? Ready to say “No” yet? Speaking of people opting out and going back to the woods to live in tents, I forget which mega-agency (U.N. related?) wants to make RV and Van life illegal now, since people were getting free, not making trouble, and not in debt. No citizen, you MUST live in a house, EXACTLY the size we say, and not a single foot bigger or smaller. If it doesn’t exactly match the system built by Google and deployed in China, EXACTLY, the SWAT teams will be over shortly.
…Or if you’re drinking milk from cows. Very bad.

“Leak Confirms Turkey’s “Gold-For-Gas” Scheme To Evade US Sanctions On Iran (ZH)”

Going on 5+ years and working pretty well. U.S. itself demanded it by politicizing Swift under Obama. Russia yesterday said cutting off Russia on SWIFT would be – and I quote – “a declaration of war.” Not that anybody here cares. They WANT that war, abroad and and home. They won’t love death enough until they are nuked. …Or us anyway, since they think they’ll be safe in their DUMB bunkers. (See History Channel) They won’t.

“BPA Chemical Levels In Humans Drastically Underestimated (G.)”

Like Monsanto, they’ve known about this for ever and never. They just don’t care, because they WANT us all sick and dead, just like the medieval peasants. Make less trouble that way, and too screwed up to avoid their wars.

That’s all the news, but I’m sure it’ll double even before 5:00EST! We been Drivin’ that Train, high on Cocaine, and Casey Jones ain’t slowin’ down now!

CHUCK ROSS
INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER
December 06, 2019
2:29 PM ET

The Republican chairmen of three Senate committees are seeking records from and interviews with a former DNC contractor and a former Ukrainian diplomatic official to determine whether there was any coordination between the Ukrainian government and Democrats in the 2016 election, an allegation Democrats have dismissed as a conspiracy theory.

Sens. Chuck Grassley, Ron Johnson and Lindsey Graham said Friday that they are requesting the records from Alexandra Chalupa, the former DNC contractor, and Andrii Telizkhenko, a former political officer who worked in the Ukrainian embassy.

The senators said the request is a continuation of Grassley’s inquiry in 2017 about possible coordination between the DNC and Ukrainian embassy to dig up dirt on the Trump campaign and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort.

Chalupa met throughout 2016 with Ukrainian embassy officials, and sought to trade information related to Manafort, who worked through 2014 for former Ukrainian President ViktorYanukovych, on Jan. 11, 2017, Politico reported. Telizhenko told Politico he was directed by his bosses to help Chalupa in the effort.

In addition to Chalupa’s efforts, multiple Ukrainian government officials spoke out against Trump during the 2016 campaign.

One official scrutinized by Republicans is Serhiy Leshchenko, a former Ukrainian parliamentarian who gained international attention in August 2016 for helping publicize the so-called “black ledger” that detailed payments that the Ukrainian Party of Regions allegedly made to Manafort.

Manafort denied receiving the payments, but was forced off the Trump team following reports of the “black ledger.” He was convicted in the special counsel’s investigation of financial crimes related to income from his Ukraine work.

Nellie Ohr, a former contractor for Fusion GPS, told lawmakers in an Oct. 18, 2018, interview that Leshchenko was a source of some kind for Fusion, which commissioned the infamous Steele dossier.

Leshchenko has told the Daily Caller News Foundation that he never knowingly met with anyone from Fusion GPS. He said he met Chalupa at least once during the 2016 campaign season at an event held for the Ukraine diaspora.

The DNC paid Chalupa $412,000 for consulting work from 2004 through June 2016. The DCNF has been unable to reach Chalupa for comment.

Democrats and numerous media pundits have downplayed allegations that Ukraine might have meddled in the 2016 election, calling the theory a distraction from Russia’s interference in the campaign.

In a statement announcing their requests, Johnson, the chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, criticized the press, which he said has dismissed the theory of Ukrainian meddling.

“Contrary to the popular narrative in the ‘main stream media’ that Ukrainian involvement in the 2016 election has been debunked, or ‘no evidence exists,’ there are many unanswered questions that have festered for years,” Johnson said.

Grassley, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, said the DNC-Ukraine link has not been fully explored.

“While there was no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, we know that Russia meddled in our democratic processes. However, certain reports of collusion and interference involving Ukrainian officials have not been sufficiently examined, and the few answers that have been given are inadequate,” the Iowa Republican said.
