    “I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate,” Clinton said. Gabbard fired back with a venomous tweet. “Thank you @HillaryClinton,” she posted. “You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain.” Gabbard continued the retort during an appearance on Tucker Carlson Tonight: “The reason why she’s doing this is because ultimately she knows she can’t control me. I stand against everything that she represents.”

    Oh wow! Gabbard’s venomous tweet!
    Hilary the coward, who murders behind the curtin, dares to cast blame?
    We’ve reached a new low; which is remarkable, given we’re already at the bottom…

    Well, that should move Tulsi to the top of the polls, and much rejoicing by all.

    Trump Ditches Plan to Host G7 at Doral Resort: ‘Irrational Hostility’ (G.)”

    I need to keep up more. This: “Trump added that he had announced he would do it at no profit and at no cost to the US” followed by this: “The choice of the Trump National Doral was widely condemned as the most egregious example yet of the president abusing his position to enrich himself”

    And yet no irony. So not only do these guys not read, not ask, you know, sources, they don’t even read their OWN previous paragraphs. What about free don’t they like?

    This is similar to the ‘emoluments’ they’ve been on I’ve mentioned before. I don’t think that means if the new President owns a bagel shop, they are required to stop selling bagels to every one, every employee, influencer, every lobbyist, every voter, every foreigner, in Washington D.C. Certainly it never meant that in the past. But beyond that, they write an article that “Trump is losing billions”, correct, probably not as much as $1B/year, but it’s down, and he has no salary. Yet at the same time, “Trump only wanted to get in to enrich himself!” Wow, he’s REALLY bad at it then! And apparently still hasn’t noticed as he’s going again! I don’t care which one you report, but pick one and stick with it, will ya? Not back-to-back contradictions like above.

    Anyway, yeah, entertaining troll, handing the Democrats a ‘win’ so empty it draws a vacuum. Loved the “THUG” act though. That’s the way to do it.

    Brexit Delay and Election Better than Johnson’s Deal – Farage (R.)”

    They can’t have an election or the people would ‘win’ and Westminster would ‘lose.’ Otherwise, they’d have held it already. Which shows Westminster is the core enemy of democracy. But it’s a messy system. What was that article a few days back on how…suspicious…the Brexit setup and Farage is? Yeah. But if so, who’s running it? The Queen? Because the setup says, “leave, but I can in no way be responsible.” Politics.

    U.K. Ministers are probably making mint on jacking the Pound around and trading on it though. Probably pull the nation out of bankruptcy with that inside line.

    “Brexit isn’t going to happen.”

    Surrenders-R-us. Yeah, and what will you do when you finally have an election and the Brexit party dominates the field? Not Brexit again and again forever? Not saying it will happen, but note this is from a very narrow, Westminster, perspective, and damn-all-the-people.

    France is miserable, sick of austerity.”

    All quite so, but remember: the ‘austerity’ they actually revolted under is the save-the-earth, environmental, AGW, Green ‘Austerity.’ They think if they wrap up economic ruin in a green wrapper it will work. It won’t. The people have hit the wall. Meanwhile, what was it the G7 said? Like a $40 Million dollar party, each with their own Leer jet? “Ruin for thee but not for me.” You plant trees and save the earth, living in tents and huts, and I’ll put up another $100M 1,000 acre airport tarmac and cash in.

    I’m glad others are reporting how transparently anti-democratic, dictatorial even, the EU is, and not just me. Was I they only guy who saw them remove the PM of Italy? Of ITALY? You’re a threat to all life on earth.

    Libor Rigging Inquiry Shut Down by Serious Fraud Office (BBC)”

    I don’t find that suspicious at all. See how the BoE is the one doing the rigging, on inside Brexit info, above. But rigging markets is what makes them great, and therefore everyone will flock to London to lose their money forever, right? Not Singapore? And when the financial center finishes moving to Asia, we won’t be out of power for 1,000 years, right?

    Boeing Board To Meet In Texas As Scrutiny Intensifies (R.)”

    Well one thing is always sure in human nature: they’re not going to blame themselves. It’s either my fault as an employee for following orders, or even my fault as a customer because: reasons. (they literally said this yesterday.) So do they get $500B in bonuses for crashing like Wall St here, or is their payout smaller because they killed so many fewer people?

    The Not-Com Bubble Is Popping (Atl.)”

    Yes, and it is large enough to take things apart, but Herr Doktor is so slow: WeWork was a ground-up price-rigging operation. You take your one company, WeWork, and then rent buildings from your OTHER company, Empty Manhattan Real Estate, Inc, inflating your real estate prices. Then when things go wrong, one of the two companies goes bankrupt, yet the OTHER keeps the years of debt-fueled cash from the other company. Totally legal if removed far enough. Bagholder=shareholders, who honestly deserve it if they couldn’t read how pin-headed the WeWork ledgers are. It’s more plausible and legal to sell the Brooklyn Bridge, but this is what happens when you turn the monetary fire house to “11” and let it spray your golfing pals for 20 years.

    For Tulsi, they smear all army people and veterans as traitors, because they’re rednecks who own guns and wear red hats. Been doing it since, I dunno, Waco, I guess? Is really at a peak now though.

    Ain’t free speech great? Now we know what kind of person HRC is, and Ms. Gabbard is, from their own mouths. …And we know what kind of person the corporate media is, too.

    “Meanwhile, the press and the Democrats have provided Trump with first of all a big laugh”

    Pretending you are that we have been humiliated by a narc? What do you think this is, an episode of “Ghost Hunters?” Only those without a character of substance become a regular audience of behavior imitation programs or shallow politicians.

    A narc’s job with assistance from the flying monkeys is to turn others supply’ into mirrors of themselves.
    If cupcake was a Trump, it would be a thin coating of frosting, no cake underneath.

    Take your narcissism, gas-lighting, and lies elsewhere.

    You should really watch the Three Trees as large as possible. Click the pic and click again on the pic you see on the page there. There’s a town on the horizon, there are windmills, there’s a man fishing in the bottom left corner, with a woman beside him who’s perhaps making sandwiches(?). Behind the right tree, a man walks behind an ox cart (or horse cart). On top of the right hill sits a lone figure who people think is Rembrandt himself. And even in the bushes in the bottom right corner there’s an amorous couple, though they are hard to spot because it’s dark there.

    “NOTE: none of the people in the clip below have denied beating their wives.”

    NOTE (THE OBVIOUS):The question is enough to do the damage. The answer is irrelevant.

    Brexit: Parliament Tethers Britain to a Failing Experiment


    the Yellow Vests are nearing their fiftieth straight week of protests
    …. We hear about peace, but we don’t see it. We hear about prosperity, but we don’t feel it.,

    ——–

    My list of mass protests yesterday included Chili, Ecuador, Lebanon, Barcelona, France, London, Puerto Rico, Hong Kong. Today we can add Iraq.

    I want to add Venezuela and USA, Canada, Mexico, Central America.

    Its time to look up the definition of populism (pick your favorite definition)
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Populism

    Populism refers to a range of political stances that emphasise the idea of “the people” and often juxtapose this group against “the elite”.

    Thousands march in climate strike with activist Greta Thunberg

    Thousands of people marched through downtown Edmonton to the Alberta legislature Friday for a climate strike that included 16-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, while a counter-protest made its way from Red Deer in support of Alberta oil and gas.

    We are here: demonstrating because ….
    We hear about peace, but we don’t see it. We hear about prosperity, but we don’t feel it.

    I see a lot of inventory. Even the pallets are pilling up in the yards.
    Its all collateral owned by the banks.
    The banks have access to MMT
    Consumers have access to credit cards.
    Retiree and savers think that they have a pile of safe money/wealth somewhere.
    Collecting agencies know that they will not be able to collect on the loans without using force.
    To avoid the use of killing force, if they can, people are moving, migrating, escaping, prepping.

    You seem very emotional. Who’s winning when you’re upset? And it isn’t here that’s the issue: speak your mind! It’s that if it’s in your mind, you’re the one carrying it. Make what you carry, your living space, your consciousness, a good place. There are bad men in the world, what of it? Like the poor, they will always be with us. There’ll be more when I’m gone.

    “Once upon a time, if you voted against someone like Obama or Tony Blair in Britain, you simply accepted your loss and moved on. Those days are indeed properly for story books which begin – “Once Upon a Time.” This is not something which is unique to Britain. We are beginning to see the collapse of civilization which will only end in separatist movements and violence. People are no longer willing to accept democracy. If they lose, they are turning much more violent demanding their way or no way. Pro-BREXIT British MPs had to be escorted to Parliament by police to protect them from violence….” Etc. Cycles expert, Martin Armstrong

    BREXIT Vote Delayed – Democracy Has Fallen

    Question is, do you want to have war and fight endlessly or it is not worth it if we can agree to vote on power, and more importantly, relinquish power, as the price and compromise not to live an eye for an eye like the Hatfields and McCoys that makes the rest of the world blind. And more importantly, poor. Let’s not do that. Let’s agree to hold democracy, western values, sportsmanship, and with it, not telling people what to do, and letting go of power until your turn. When FC Liverpool tells Manchester United “Goal! Suck it, we punkd you, ha!” do we burn down Liverpool? Or their players even? Heavens no. It’s just a snipe, you got me, rubber chicken and the THUG Act, ha ha. Or else what kind of world have I constructed? If where I’m living is tense, where is that? In my mind?

    V Arnold, as for the trees you may like to see work of Safet Zec. There is rarely an artist who grasped soul of the tree, among other things, as he does. Google and have feast for the eyes.

    Quite the choreographed dance move, as I thought from the start.

    Pepe Escobar on Syria…

    “It’s a quadruple win. The U.S. performs a face saving withdrawal, which Trump can sell as avoiding a conflict with NATO ally Turkey. Turkey has the guarantee – by the Russians – that the Syrian Army will be in control of the Turkish-Syrian border. Russia prevents a war escalation and keeps the Russia-Iran-Turkey peace process alive. And Syria will eventually regain control of the entire northeast.”

    Civil Unrest Is Erupting All Over The World, But Just Wait Until The United States Joins The Party…



    All over the globe, the mood is turning sour. Anger and frustration are bubbling over, and protests are becoming violent in major cities all across the planet. In some cases economic pain is driving the protests and in other cases political matters are motivating the protesters, and it has been a very long time since we have seen so many angry protests happening all over the world simultaneously.

    I know it seems off-topic in this crazy world, but avocado trees convert sunlight, rain, CO2 and soil nutrients into GUACAMOLE. Mexican varieties are the most “cold tolerant”.
    Yoakum Avocado Orchard Planting, Dawn October 18, 2019
    http://www.johndayblog.com/2019/10/guacamole-fans-saturday-morning-at-600.html
    Saturday morning at 6:00 AM, having made coffee and had my first mug, I went out to start the final prep for getting the 12 Mexican avocado trees that I have been raising in pots this summer, into their permanent environment.
    Yetti the dog came out around dawn to check on my progress, and went back to wag at Holly and Tommy that something was afoot outside that they should go check out.
    They started planting avocados in the holes I had prepped, while I got another mug of coffee and Yetti stood guard.
    Then we all engaged the planting together, and I watered the babies in for an hour.
    Jenny composed these documentary images to share with you.

    Thanks. Safet Zec’s trees are beautiful. He also painted a woven basket which I found fascinating.
    I tried to post the image but, as usual, failed miserably… 😉
    Ah, the link works swell.
