Long Podcast Playlist, updated nightly

Since ~2007, at about 8:20pm Chicago time, from my podcast RSS feeds, I post my ~8 hour audio playlist; there is no music, it's a progressive mix of politics, finance/banking/economy, environment, foreign policy, software development, history, general news, labor news, law, science, health/diet ...

As said above, nightly I make a ~8 hour play list as a PLS file from the results of a 'goldenpod' podcatcher search of my RSS feed list. Several previous play lists are combined w/the recent one, so playing the entire list should take days. The file format is PLS format which should be understood by VLC, In firefox, if VLC is installed, you may be able to right click on the playlist and 'add url to vlc playlist'; on my Android phone after click on this link, the playlist is downloaded, and I can tap on the downloaded list and it will play in VLC.

Peter Hudis Intro

Heard Hudis 1st on this podcast: https://archives.kpfa.org/data/20170508-Mon1200.mp3

They focus on "Life After Capitalism" and his book https://www.internationalmarxisthumanist.org/books/south-asian-edition-marxs-concept-alternative-capitalism.

The first section I started re-listening to starts at 18:24.

Key section 26:55 - 28:00

• 26:58 A rank and file workplace democracy, self organizing leadership

• 27:30 If workers are ruled by a government elite, within nationalized companies it is not communism, it's State-Capitalism

He introduces the concept of 'State-Capitalism', where industries are nationalized but workers have only swapped capitalist elitist rulers for state ones.

M825A1 artillery shell; WP/White Phosphorus "quiet shell"; air burst at altitude by dial-in fuse delay

If used at high altitude the danger is less, and the argument that the M825 WP shells are "safe" is closer to true.

https://www.defense-update.com/newscast/0109/analysis/analysis_080109_phosphorous.html

Accrding to IHS Jane’s Weapons Technology Analyst commenting on the discussions surrounding the Israeli use of white phosherous agents in Gaza, “The round so far specified as being fired are the M825A1 which is purely an air-burst white phosherous smoke projectile." the analyst said. 'It’s construction and function is highly elaborate and I would say deliberately so to make it inappropriate for anti-personnel use'. M825A1 shell is not defined as an incendiary weapon by the Third Protocol to the Convention on Conventional Weapons because its principal use is to produce smoke to protect troops. White Phosphorous weapons banned by theprotocol are ground or low level burst weapons designed primarily for anti-personnel use. The primary function of the M825A1 is for the rapid creation of a highly effective, but short lived visible and infrared smoke screen.

During the opening stages of Cast Lead land campaign, these munitions were employed at relatively low altitude,

Outside the house lay evidence of the shelling Mrs Halima described. Two white phosphorus shell cases, originally painted light green but burnt by detonations with the metal bent back like tulip petals, were on the ground.

One still had the four tell-tale angle-irons inside to indicate a 155mm white phosphorus shell and was packed with unburned chemical. A poke with a stick to expose the chemical to oxygen was enough to set it burning again, sending out white smoke.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4442988.stm

"The boom kicked the dust around the pit as they ran through the drill again and again, sending a mixture of burning white phosphorus and high explosives they call 'shake 'n bake' into a cluster of buildings where insurgents have been spotted all week."

https://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/smoke.htm

M825 white phosphorus. The M825 WP projectile is an FA-delivered 155-mm base-ejection projectile designed to produce a smoke screen on the ground for a duration of 5 to 15 minutes. It consists of two major components--the projectile carrier and the payload. The projectile carrier delivers the payload to the target. The payload consists of 116 WP-saturated felt wedges. The smoke screen is produced when a predetermined fuze action causes ejection of the payload from the projectile. After ejection, the WP-saturated felt wedges in the payload fall to the ground in an elliptical pattern. Each wedge then becomes a point or source of smoke. The M825 is ballistically similar to the M483A1 (DPICM) family of projectiles.

M110A1 White Phosphorus (WP) projectiles are available for 105mm and 155mm howitzers.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/m110.htm

The M110 / M110A1 White Phosphorus (WP) projectiles are available for 105mm and 155mm howitzers. Used for screening, spotting and signaling purposes, they have an additional incendiary effect on a target and processes casualty producing effects. This burster-tube type projectile is ballistically similar to the M107 HE (155mm)and M1(105mm) projectiles. It can be fitted with a mechanical time Super Quick fuze M582 or M557/M739 PD fuze.

... the M825A1 is not a weapon

The American 155mm M110A1 artillery shell is a white phosphorus MUNITION. It’s full to the brim with solid white phosphorus. THIS is what will burn you.

I lean away from above article, but will try keep an open mind.

The author claims the felt pads covered in WP burn out quickly. Her own video shows that the bright glow abruptly stops soon after hitting the ground; but I noticed a dim glow on the ground persists, and that smoke continues - so her own video (the first one shown) does not seem to support her. Another link below suggests they burn continuing to make smoke for about 10 min.

Below I follow up below with related links:

• Element Series: White Phosphorus

• http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/munitions/m825.htm

• https://rainbowwarrior2005.wordpress.com/tag/m825a1/

Neil Gibson, technical adviser to Jane’s Missiles and Rockets, insisted that the M825A1 was a WP round. “The M825A1 is an improved model. The WP does not fill the shell but is impregnated into 116 felt wedges which, once dispersed [by a high-explosive charge], start to burn within four to five seconds. They then burn for five to ten minutes. The smoke screen produced is extremely effective,” he said.

• https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/checkpoint/wp/2016/09/23/u-s-forces-are-using-white-phosphorus-munitions-in-iraq-but-its-unclear-exactly-how/?utm_term=.e1f4b252645d

The M825A1 shell can create a smokescreen that lasts about 10 minutes and contains 116 felt wedges impregnated with white phosphorus that jettison and automatically ignite when they come in contact with the air.

“Coalition forces use these rounds with caution and always in accordance with the Law of Armed Conflict. When M825A1 rounds are employed, they are done so in areas free of civilians and never against enemy forces,” Scrocca said

Have We Been Deceived Over Syrian Sarin Attack? by Gareth Porter 9/13/17

http://www.alternet.org/grayzone-project/what-really-happened-khan-sheikhoun

a conventional weapon dropped by a Syrian plane struck barrels of a pesticide that created deadly phosphine gas that caused symptoms paralleling those of sarin and capable of causing mass casualties.

--snip

Chemical weapons have only very small amounts of explosives in the “burster mechanism”—enough to open up the bomb to disperse the chemical, but not enough to cause a crater in the pavement. If a chemical munition had contained enough high explosives to create a large hole in the pavement, it would have burned up the chemical to be dispensed and could not have caused the mass casualties seen in Khan Sheikhoun.

--snip

less than two hours after the alleged explosion at the site, showing (at 1.12) the road near the crater completely clear of pieces of asphalt and other debris.

--snip

It was not the first time that those working under al Qaeda authority had arranged a falsified bomb crater scene to shape international opinion. After an attack on a Syrian Red Crescent aid convoy west of Aleppo last September, the White Helmets photographed the crumpled tailfin of a Russian OFAB-250 bomb in a crater in a warehouse.

--snip

the known characteristics of aluminum phosphide and the symptoms of the victims all indicate a very different explanation: A Syrian high explosive bomb hit supplies of aluminum phosphide stored in a building in the northeast area of Khan Sheikhoun, releasing a cloud of deadly phosphine gas, which caused the deaths and injuries.

--snip

accounts from a number of eyewitnesses indicate that an airstrike hit a two-story building about 240 meters southwest of the crater the local authorities and activists claim had been left by the strike, as well as a second building another 100 meters southwest. Photographs in a report by activists belonging to NGOs who support the armed opposition show (pp. 34-35) what had been a two-story cinderblock building that was completely destroyed by the airstrike.

--snip

The initial Russian-Syrian account of the event also distracted attention from the real Syrian airstrike in Khan Sheikhoun and the question of what they anticipated would be the consequences of bombing supplies of aluminum phosphide.

The article continues, but I stopped here.

6/25/17 S Hersh: Apr 4 Khan Sheikhoun bombing/Apr 6 US Missile Strike

https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/more-reasons-have-emerged-to-doubt-the-official-narrative-about-syria-54cdb584511f

The highly decorated Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh is back again, throwing yet another monkey wrench in the propaganda narratives of the US war machine.

Hersh’s latest piece, titled “Trump’s Red Line”, was published in the German publication Welt am Sonntag, reportedly after London Review of Books backed out for fear that it would make them “vulnerable to criticism for seeming to take the view of the Syrian and Russian governments”.

Below I quote from where I first found the article this morning (6/26): https://riseuptimes.org/2017/06/25/seymour-hersh-syria-trumps-red-line/

Russian intelligence, which is shared when necessary with Syria and the U.S. as part of their joint fight against jihadist groups, had established that a high-level meeting of jihadist leaders was to take place in the building, including representatives of Ahrar al-Sham and the al-Qaida-affiliated group formerly known as Jabhat al-Nusra. The two groups had recently joined forces, and controlled the town and surrounding area. Russian intelligence depicted the cinder-block building as a command and control center that housed a grocery and other commercial premises on its ground floor with other essential shops nearby, including a fabric shop and an electronics store.

--snip

“It was an established meeting place,” the senior adviser said. “A long-time facility that would have had security, weapons, communications, files and a map center.” The Russians were intent on confirming their intelligence and deployed a drone for days above the site to monitor communications and develop what is known in the intelligence community as a POL – a pattern of life.

--snip

“It was a red-hot change. The mission was out of the ordinary – scrub the sked,” the senior adviser told me. “Every operations officer in the region” – in the Army, Marine Corps, Air Force, CIA and NSA – “had to know there was something going on. The Russians gave the Syrian Air Force a guided bomb and that was a rarity. They’re skimpy with their guided bombs and rarely share them with the Syrian Air Force. And the Syrians assigned their best pilot to the mission, with the best wingman.” The advance intelligence on the target, as supplied by the Russians, was given the highest possible score inside the American community.

--snip

“This was not a chemical weapons strike,” the adviser said. “That’s a fairy tale. If so, everyone involved in transferring, loading and arming the weapon – you’ve got to make it appear like a regular 500-pound conventional bomb – would be wearing Hazmat protective clothing in case of a leak. There would be very little chance of survival without such gear. Military grade sarin includes additives designed to increase toxicity and lethality. Every batch that comes out is maximized for death. That is why it is made. It is odorless and invisible and death can come within a minute.

--snip

evidence suggested that there was more than one chemical responsible for the symptoms observed, which would not have been the case if the Syrian Air Force – as opposition activists insisted – had dropped a sarin bomb, which has no percussive or ignition power to trigger secondary explosions. The range of symptoms is, however, consistent with the release of a mixture of chemicals, including chlorine and the organophosphates used in many fertilizers, which can cause neurotoxic effects similar to those of sarin.

--snip

“Did the Syrians plan the attack on Khan Sheikhoun? Absolutely. Do we have intercepts to prove it? Absolutely. Did they plan to use sarin? No.

--snip

“What doesn’t occur to most Americans” the adviser said, “is if there had been a Syrian nerve gas attack authorized by Bashar, the Russians would be 10 times as upset as anyone in the West. Russia’s strategy against ISIS, which involves getting American cooperation, would have been destroyed and Bashar would be responsible for pissing off Russia, with unknown consequences for him. Bashar would do that? When he’s on the verge of winning the war? Are you kidding me?”

--snip

Within hours of viewing the photos, the adviser said, Trump instructed the national defense apparatus to plan for retaliation against Syria. “He did this before he talked to anybody about it. The planners then asked the CIA and DIA if there was any evidence that Syria had sarin stored at a nearby airport or somewhere in the area. Their military had to have it somewhere in the area in order to bomb with it.” “The answer was, ‘We have no evidence that Syria had sarin or used it,’” the adviser said. “The CIA also told them that there was no residual delivery for sarin at Sheyrat [the airfield from which the Syrian SU-24 bombers had taken off on April 4] and Assad had no motive to commit political suicide.”

--snip

Sarin actually is very easy to detect because it penetrates paint, and all one would have to do is get a paint sample.

--snip

The intelligence made clear that a Syrian Air Force SU-24 fighter bomber had used a conventional weapon to hit its target: There had been no chemical warhead. And yet it was impossible for the experts to persuade the president of this once he had made up his mind.

--snip

“Everyone close to him knows his proclivity for acting precipitously when he does not know the facts,” the adviser said. “He doesn’t read anything and has no real historical knowledge. He wants verbal briefings and photographs. He’s a risk-taker. He can accept the consequences of a bad decision in the business world; he will just lose money.

--snip

Option two was a slap on the wrist: to bomb an airfield in Syria, but only after alerting the Russians and, through them, the Syrians, to avoid too many casualties. A few of the planners called this the “gorilla option”: America would glower and beat its chest to provoke fear and demonstrate resolve, but cause little significant damage.

I find it interesting that the pdf contains no fonts, it is an image; I find that annoying - makes it harder to quote.

The report discredit's itself in the last paragraph reasserting that Assad used CW in Aug 2013 - this has been proven wrong by Seymour Hersh.

The data provided in these photographs make it clear that the WHR made no serious attempt to collect data that would support its “confident assessment” that there was data to unambiguously support a conclusion that the Syrian government executed a sarin attack as indicated by the location and characteristics of the crater.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/40222-new-revelations-belie-trump-claims-on-syria-chemical-attack

The airstrike she saw appears to be the one that was the objective of the Syrian operation in Khan Sheikhoun. The mushroom cloud she saw seems to be the widest of the three mushroom clouds shown in a video taken sometime after the explosion.

Dr. Theodore Postol of MIT, who debunked the original official claims of the location of rockets that hit Syria's Ghouta area with what appeared to be sarin on August 21, 2013, has come to a different conclusion. Postol says that the carcass of the delivery vehicle -- shown in last week's video and in still photos of the small crater -- indicates that the chemical attack was not delivered via airstrike but from the spot on the road where it was found.

Russia's military insisted that the chemicals were dispersed when Syrian warplanes bombed a facility where militants stored chemical weapons (CW). Russian Deputy Ambassador Vladimir Safronkov told the UN Security Council that neither Moscow nor Damascus bore any responsibility for the attack, adding that the video footage was «staged». «All of this is being done to create the necessary information and propaganda environment», said Maria Zakharova, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman.

Indeed, the exposure to sarin begins to target the muscle and nervous system almost immediately but the pictures show White Helmets handling the corpses of people without sufficient safety gear. Only masks are used, they don’t bother about the exposed skin! It strikes an eye.

http://www.veteranstoday.com/2017/04/06/putin-rebukes-netanyahu-over-groundless-accusations-on-suspected-chemical-incident-in-syria/

The Russian Defense Ministry said the Syrian military carried out airstrikes in Khan Sheikhoun on April 4, hitting production facilities where terrorists stored chemicals, which were previously used in Iraq and the Syrian city of Aleppo.

Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem has dismissed any accusations that the Syrian Army deployed chemical weapons in Idlib.

http://www.veteranstoday.com/2017/04/06/moscow-insists-chemical-weapons-were-not-used-in-syrias-idlib/

Russia’s Defense Ministry later said that on April 4, the Syrian air force had delivered an airstrike on the eastern outskirts of Khan Shaykhun to destroy militant facilities used to produce chemical bombs. These bombs were sent to Iraq and were previously used in Aleppo.

the gas used didn’t match the batches known to exist in the Syrian army’s chemical weapons arsenal

--snip

The joint chiefs also knew that the Obama administration’s public claims that only the Syrian army had access to sarin were wrong. The American and British intelligence communities had been aware since the spring of 2013 that some rebel units in Syria were developing chemical weapons.

--snip

The UK defence staff who relayed the Porton Down findings to the joint chiefs were sending the Americans a message, the former intelligence official said: ‘We’re being set up here.’ (This account made sense of a terse message a senior official in the CIA sent in late August: ‘It was not the result of the current regime. UK & US know this.’)

--snip

Dempsey’s initial view after 21 August was that a US strike on Syria – under the assumption that the Assad government was responsible for the sarin attack – would be a military blunder, the former intelligence official said. The Porton Down report caused the joint chiefs to go to the president with a more serious worry: that the attack sought by the White House would be an unjustified act of aggression.

--snip

The Obama administration has never publicly admitted to its role in creating what the CIA calls a ‘rat line', a back channel highway into Syria. The rat line, authorised in early 2012, was used to funnel weapons and ammunition from Libya via southern Turkey and across the Syrian border to the opposition. Many of those in Syria who ultimately received the weapons were jihadists, some of them affiliated with al-Qaida.

--snip

A highly classified annex to the report, not made public, described a secret agreement reached in early 2012 between the Obama and Erdoğan administrations. It pertained to the rat line. By the terms of the agreement, funding came from Turkey, as well as Saudi Arabia and Qatar; the CIA, with the support of MI6, was responsible for getting arms from Gaddafi’s arsenals into Syria. A number of front companies were set up in Libya, some under the cover of Australian entities. Retired American soldiers, who didn’t always know who was really employing them, were hired to manage procurement and shipping. The operation was run by David Petraeus, the CIA director --snip

The operation had not been disclosed at the time it was set up to the congressional intelligence committees and the congressional leadership, as required by law since the 1970s. The involvement of MI6 enabled the CIA to evade the law by classifying the mission as a liaison operation.

--snip

‘The consulate's only mission was to provide cover for the moving of arms,' the former intelligence official, who has read the annex, said. ‘It had no real political role.'

--snip

Washington abruptly ended the CIA's role in the transfer of arms from Libya after the attack on the consulate, but the rat line kept going. ‘The United States was no longer in control of what the Turks were relaying to the jihadists,' the former intelligence official said. Within weeks, as many as forty portable surface-to-air missile launchers, commonly known as manpads, were in the hands of Syrian rebels.

Economic Motive for America’s Current Wars by Eric Zuesse

http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-economic-motive-for-americas-current-wars/5597226

Russia has long been the chief seller of energy — mainly gas and oil — in the world’s largest energy-market: the EU, or Europe.

Zuesse says the Obama administration

started, by no later than 2011, its preparations for a coup in Ukraine, which occurred in February 2014, to overthrow the democratically elected President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, who, as had been planned and expected by the U.S. government, turned down the EU’s offer of membership because the highly uneconomic arrangement that the EU was offering would have cost Ukraine an estimated $160 billion. The U.S. government knew he’d turn it down, which is why, when he did say no, on 21 November 2013, the Obama regime had everything prepared to launch

The EU nations weren’t eager to take that $160B burden onto themselves, it was laid entirely upon Ukraine, take-it-or-leave-it, and Ukraine rejected it — and so rejected the rest of the U.S. team’s offer. But Obama’s agent who handled Ukraine continued to run into resistance from the EU, because EU leaders weren’t as fascist as today’s U.S. leaders are. On 4 February 2014, in a phone call to the U.S. Ambassador in Kiev, Obama’s agent on Ukraine said “F—k the EU!” about Europe’s concerns, and to impose atop the post-coup government “Yats” or Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who would do what the U.S. government wanted and would ignore the needs of either Ukrainians or Europeans.

What makes her an authority on Syrian politics when she doesn’t appear to have any experience at all outside of that independent research? Did her father’s stature give her entry to the inner circles of Assad? How can she claim there was no 2011 popular uprising against Assad when Syrians & Palestinians who were there testify otherwise?

Centre for Counter Hegemonic Studies (CCHS)

https://counter-hegemonic-studies.net/cchs-about/

The Centre for Counter Hegemonic Studies (CCHS) was formed in early 2016 after concern that many western academic bodies constrain, censor and marginalise counter-hegemonic or anti-imperial research and discussion, due to their close ties with government and corporate sponsors.

This conditioning of debate over imperialism, neo-colonialism and struggles for self-determination limits research and debate. It places an effective gag on academic discussion of important contemporary matters.

Don Debar CPR intro

Senior Producer at Community Public Radio in NYC. Don seems to be an older seasoned (reporter?) http://cprmetro.blogspot.com/ , w/smokers voice, is cynical about Dems; possibly Marxist–Leninist.

I have listened to him on and off over several years, and he is gradually making a better and better impression. A bit old fashioned "in a good way", focuses on real news, and is not afraid to use bulk on the 30 min on a verbatim recording of a press conference for example. He has a set of interesting correspondents - he interviews each of them repeatedly on a particular weekday, including one in Moscow.

I think I'm getting the RSS feed indirectly through http://radio4all.net/podcast.xml (yes you have to weed through a bunch, but I automate that). You can get the shows direct from: http://www.radio4all.net/index.php/contributor/4910

My List of RSS Feeds

Here's the list: http://zq3q.org/pcolab/bookmarks_rss.html

This list is automatically built from my firefox book marks. Not updated unless I exit firefox; I might do that 6 times per month?

To keep it simple, it's sorted, flat, w/no folders.

I think that using RSS feeds is an effective, convenient way to gather news from a greater breadth of websites and an easier way of evaluating websites for quality and "freshness/update rate". This list has grown and been pruned over years.

My hunch is over 50% of these RSS feeds are political. There are a significant number of wonderful progressive sites. I include sites that are new/unknown/just trying; and some that I have mixed feelings about.

political, economic or environmental sites; most w/RSS feeds

See also my list of leaders.

Most of these come out of the above list. This list is manual, ie not automated - last updated on Fri 22 Sep 2017.

Included are a few ( less than 10 ) sites run by intelligent/knowledgeable/prolific, hyperbolic, egotistical, and occasionally "dead wrong" personalities. I try to watch myself, to not get trapped by these types; nonetheless, I like to think of myself as tolerant. If the value they provide out weighs their (sometimes significant) faults, they stay on list.

Thot Exp -- Fed gov builds $1M Hwy; Transactions: Treasury/Fed/Taxes

Assume a Congress budgeted for a new Federal HWY which costs 1 Million dollars ($1M).

Pls edit/correct my assumptions below. This relatively simple case ends up being quite complex. I want to understand each step. Also, if we can just stick reasonably close to the flow I outline in this example, with minimal deviations, I think it may help me understand.

Caveats on my Confusion

Treasury has power to "spend money into existence" (FED can not do this). Warren Mosler says the Treasury spends first, borrows later; I do not understand this. The fact that I'm missing the significance/meaning of this may be a key to my confusion.

I suspect my lack of understanding for the special powers of a Central Bank may also be an issue.

The process "walk through" step by step

Treasury spends the 1M first, then borrows

From R Wray, I understand the way US treasury spends money is by writing checks against it's account with the Central Bank (the Fed), right? Treasury can not bounce checks. So when it spends the $1M, it's account w/the Fed is debited $1M, right? This seems to contradict the idea that Treasury is spending $ into existence.

T-bills worth $1M are created/sold by Treasury to private banks

If Treasury does not have the money in CB (ie the Fed), then I understand one way to go is to create/issue new T-bills to raise this cash. These T-bills obligate the bond issuer (the Treasury) to pay principal and interest. These new issue T-Bills are sold to private banks and the dollars received go into the Treasury's Fed account so Treasury can now spend to build the Fed Hwy.

Fed buys T-bills from private banks, Treasury now owes Fed T-bill principal & interest

I think that Randall Wray also said that the above T-Bills are then sold by the private banks to the Fed. Why? Is this step critical/needed?

Where does that Fed get money to buy these T-bills? Why do they do this? This step is confusing, how does the Fed have the power to do this? Into which "account" do these Fed purchased T-bills go; is there a label or name for this account?

assume these T-bills finally are paid in full, transaction complete

Now the Treasury's obligation w/r to those T-bills is "to the Fed" - this confuses me, since as I understand it, annually the Fed will return the interest paid by the treasury on these bonds back to the treasury - does that mean interest on these bonds is moot/don't care/effectively zero? Is this a magical side effect or power of the Cental bank?

The treasury is still obligated to pay off the principal on above T-bills. The Treasury dollars received for the sale of the T-bills have been spent by the Treasury on Fed HWY X. I do not see how dollars can simply be "shifted" from one account to another to pay off the principal as W. Mosler seems to sketch out.

Let's assume the treasury raises enough funds through taxes in it's acct w/the Fed to to pay off the principal on the T-bills when they mature. At this point then I assume the treasury's account w/the Fed is debited the value of the T-Bill principal, and then the T-bills are marked as paid in full, right?

What major points did I miss? Pls correct my mistakes.

Thanks for your help. I'm excited about MMT, but clearly have much to learn.

Intro/Promo/Wrapper for MMT

This work should position you to counter aguments that 'we do not have enough money' to address healthcare, ecology, education etc; that we must sell off and privatize to eliminate public debt.

Per Modern Money Theory - Public/Federal debt is necessary if you have a sovereign currency and a high foreign demand for your currency, as USA does.

I'm very excited about MMT/Modern Money theory. It has ground breaking theories and concepts that may positively change your understanding:

• sovereign money / trusted - institutional-powerful currency issuer/ fiat currency / history of money
• Federal budget deficits,
• the purpose of Federal taxes
• the fake USA debt ceiling
• the limits to sovereign gov 'just printing money'
• sectoral balance identity - proves need for Fed deficit in USA

It discredits main stream (Krugman for ex) economics; the Milton Friedmen/Chicago School; as will as Hayek /Austrian School of economics.

Related quote from Michael Hudson:

So we’re classical economists. Hyman Minsky was the main modern monetary theorist. Heterodox meant that he got his ideas largely from Marx. You can say classical political economy reached its logical conclusion with Marx. Capital was the last great work of classical economics, and showed where its logic was leading.

Paraphrasing L. Randall Wray:

In general every sovereign gov has had it's own money. Taxes are not required for Federal spending. Federal deficits do not lead to bankruptcy. The fundamental purpose for Federal taxes is to create a demand for currency

https://youtu.be/-7StbLkjBQk?t=204

Despite what all the libertarians say, the Fed is not private:

https://youtu.be/-7StbLkjBQk?t=535

If taxes do not fund spending, what does?

https://youtu.be/-7StbLkjBQk?t=780

• Congress authorizes the spending
• Gov agency budgets are adjusted

• The treasury on the 1st of each month tell the Fed to credit the respective agencies bank accounts w/the budgeted amount.

• Fed/Treasury operating procedures evolved since 1913, but it's mostly housekeeping. Congressionally imposed debt limits can constrain treasury spending and break everything.

• Anyone can create money (IOUs), but generally only State or Bank money is widely accepted.

Printing money; hyperinflation; resource constraints

https://youtu.be/-7StbLkjBQk?t=1156

No financial constraint to printing money, only resource constraints

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7StbLkjBQk&feature=youtu.be&t=1475

Do you have enough workers, enough engineers, enough raw materials, if so, just print money, and start the project!

There are some parallels with a farmers barn raising operation. People collectively agree to work on a neighbor's barn contruction project. The debt transfer is intangible, but surely debt in created "out of nothing", and real collectively agreed upon work is done.

The government fiscal balance is one of three major financial sectoral balances in the national economy, the others being the foreign financial sector and the private financial sector. The sum of the surpluses or deficits across these three sectors must be zero by definition.

2016 Election Process Integrity

Will keep collecting links on: voter suppression, and computerized election rigging.

http://markcrispinmiller.com/2016/11/exit-polls/

If I read above, right Clinton fraud is suggested by the chart (col 4 less than 0) in 3 states: MN, WA, and NY. The fraud in MN may have flipped the state to Clinton.

Five states had a discrepancy of under 1%, so no obvious fraud - OR, NH, MI, CA, and TX.

The remaining 20 states on the chart all (col 4 greater than positive 1%) had more than 1% discrepancy suggesting fraud in Trump's favor.

all you have to do is go to one of the small towns carrying the sign-in log as required by Wisconsin law and look for the dozen or so people that never existed – how hard can that be?

Wisconsin’s GOP is one of the most corrupt organizations on earth, same issue we had in Ohio. This is why Sheldon Adelson spent the millions to get Walker and Synder into governorships along with John Kasich and so many others.

Trump bldings as money laundering mechanism

In USA, laws allow shadow companies with obfuscated owners to make huge real estate purchases. This is a favored money laundering mechanism used by the mob. One Russian mobster bought a mansion from trump for $100M. Trump may not be doing anything illegal, but his seems comfortable dealing w/organized crime.

I'm not decided either way, but I lean towards the theory that Snowden is still working for USA intelligence.

It is also interesting to note that these limited hangout actors have themselves participated in the attacking of 9/11 truth activists. Assange has provided the most scolding attack stating ‘I’m constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11’ (Bell, 2010). Glenn Greenwald, who brought Snowden forward, is not interested in veering from the official 9/11 story and instead focuses on ‘blowback’ being the cause of terrorism (Greenwald, 2013).

Naomi Wolf (2013) has stated that during his interview he looked like ‘someone who had learned his talking points’ and his message promoted fears that an oppressive government would want to instil in other would-be whistle-blowers; such as the idea that you will lose everything by standing up against it,

Before shooting into mainstream fame, Wikileaks received an endorsement from Cass Sunstein suggesting that ‘they have immense potential’ (Sunstein, 2007). This should be of immediate concern to anyone looking for legitimacy in leaked information, as Sunstein is the author of a 2008 paper where he advocated the ‘main policy idea’ and ‘promising tactic’ of using ‘cognitive infiltration’ to disrupt and break up ‘ideological and epistemological complexes’ that investigate and promote anti-government conspiracy theories.

the founder of Cryptome and mentor of Assange, John Young, denounced Wikileaks in 2007 as a CIA front (Tarpley, 2013).

• R Tice: Snowden Never Had Access to the JUICIEST Documents … Far More Damning

http://tarpley.net/2011/01/20/wikileaks-cognitive-infiltration-operation/

If the CIA had wanted to silence Assange, they could have subjected him to the classic kidnapping aka rendition, meaning that he would have been beaten, drugged, and carted off to wake up in a black site prison in Egypt, Poland, or Guantanamo Bay. Otherwise, the CIA could have had recourse to the usual extralegal wetwork. We must also assume that the new US Cybercommand with its vast resources would have little trouble shutting down the Wikileaks mirror sites, no matter how numerous they might be. --snip The Pentagon papers had been carefully selected by the CIA itself to cover up CIA war crimes in Vietnam, blaming these on the US Army wherever possible, while also obscuring the CIA’s massive program of drug production and narcotics smuggling. The Pentagon Papers systematically hid the salient political fact of the entire Vietnam era, which is that President John F. Kennedy before he was assassinated was preparing to end the de facto US combat role in that country. Instead, Kennedy was systematically demonized and smeared, emerging as the villain of the piece.

http://independentpoliticalreport.com/2015/06/tax-wall-street-party-accuses-julian-assange-edward-snowden-of-working-for-the-cia/

even before the document dumps had begun, Wikileaks had received a preemptive endorsement from none other than the notorious totalitarian Cass Sunstein, later an official of the Obama White House, and today married to Samantha Power, the author of the military coup that overthrew Mubarak --snip Sunstein’s article entitled “Brave New WikiWorld” was published in the Washington Post of February 24, 2007, and touted the capabilities of Wikileaks for the destabilization of China. --snip Upon examination, we find that the Pentagon papers tend to cover up such CIA crimes as the mass murder mandated under Operation Phoenix, and the massive CIA drug running associated with the proprietary airline Air America.

Mort Sahl

http://www.rogerebert.com/interviews/interview-with-mort-sahl

And then we got onto the Pentagon Papers. Sahl had claimed during his act that The New York Times hadn't reprinted the Pentagon Paper for October 2, 1963, in which, he said, President Kennedy ordered all American troops out of Viet Nam, an order later withdrawn.

https://kennedysandking.com/videos-and-interviews/mort-sahl-1970-interview

The lawyers furnished Carson with cue cards as to how to question Garrison. But still, Garrison did fairly well and Carson came off like the hatchet man he was prepped to be. The host was very angry with Sahl for getting him into this sticky situation. Afterwards, he yelled at him: “You will never be on my show again.”

On Snowden

• Very long article 'signed' by Sachs

the US government apparatus, was long ago captured by a 'Deep State - shadow government' apparatus of America's top wealthy political families, who 'own' (control) all 3 branches of the US government plus all US major media, and who use the CIA as their instrument.

those previous NSA whistleblowers, were not part of the CIA scheme being currently enacted in 'Operation Fake Dissident' with Edward Snowden. Those previous whistleblowers, without the intense promotion of the CIA media companies, have long languished little-known, with their statements mostly obscured in the archives of 'conspiracy' websites, hidden under Google's 5 levels of internet suppression

Less wealthy but still among the top 125 billionaires in the world, is Pierre Omidyar, whose CIA-tied funding helped set the stage to spill blood in Ukraine, and who has rewarded the fake 'Snowden journalist' Glenn Greenwald, with US $50 million CIA-backed dollars, to create a company of so-called 'brave journalism', 'FirstLook', a hollow and empty fraud.

• How to identify CIA limited hangout op?

  Limited hangout artists are instant media darlings The most obvious characteristic of the limited hangout operative is that he or she immediately becomes the darling of the controlled corporate media. --snip Needless to say, surviving critics of the Warren Commission, and more recent veterans of the 9/11 truth movement, and know very well that this is emphatically not the treatment reserved for messengers whose revelations are genuinely unwelcome to the Wall Street centered US ruling class. These latter are more likely to be slandered, vilified and dragged through the mud, or, even more likely, passed over in complete silence and blacked out. In extreme cases, they can be kidnapped, renditioned or liquidated. --snip It would appear that Snowden’s whistleblowing has been co-opted by private corporate interests. Are those involved with privatization of the stolen documents also colluding with government agencies to frame and direct national discussions on domestic spying and other serious matters? --snip This was the Assange media cartel, made up of papers previously specialized in discrediting 9/11 critics and doubters. But even before the document dumps had begun, Wikileaks had received a preemptive endorsement from none other than the notorious totalitarian Cass Sunstein, later an official of the Obama White House, and today married to Samantha Power, the author of the military coup that overthrew Mubarak and currently Obama’s pick for US ambassador to the United Nations. Sunstein is infamous for his thesis that government agencies should conduct covert operations using pseudo-independent agents of influence for the “cognitive infiltration of extremist groups” -

What Happens at the Treasury and the Fed When Congress Spends

Randall Wray https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzw8AO4vTqc

Spending: Fed credits creditors' bank reserves. Taxing: Fed debits tax payers' banks reserves.

3:18 What is the Fed? Fed is the USA central bank; the treasury's bank and fiscal agent. Fed makes all the treasury payments. To pay a contractor the Fed credits the contractor's bank reserves. Next the contractor's bank credits their checking account. 4:26 Paying taxes: tax payer writes check to treasury, treasury presents it to the Fed, the Fed debits tax payer's bank's reserves, tax payer's bank then debits tax payers checking account. Up until 1913, US gov had no central bank; it spent budget dollars (printing the money if required), and burned up ( destroyed ) the equivalent amount of incoming tax dollars.

You will have to work a bit and scroll down/look -- the video is dated 'July 13 at 11:18pm', and is annotated with "Abrupt Climate Change by Dr. Guy McPherson".

http://uumilwaukee.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/August-2017-web.pdf

August 2017 Page 7 Dr. Guy McPherson Challenged, Angered and Cheered Audience                        By T$_rerry Wiggins On July 12, First Church hosted nearly 150 people to listen to Dr. Guy McPherson talk about Abrupt Climate Change. His fundamental points were that: * Humans have been given a terminal diagnosis * What shall any of us do and how shall we live, given that     diagnosis. He thinks most climate scientists are guilty of malpractice for not giving the diagnosis that self-reinforcing cycles of climate change are making our planet uninhabitable for humans. Due to technical difficulties, he was not able to present his slides with scientific data. He orally presented studies with names of authors, dates, and journal titles. Dr. McPherson is accused of not promoting hope, which he defined as wishing for an outcome over which one has no agency. Though he is "hope-free," he does not suggest inac- tion, but rather, live in the present. His three bits of advice: 1. Remain calm. Nothing is under your control. It doesn't     matter what's going on around you. It matters how you     respond to it. Act but do not be attached to the outcome. 2. Pursue excellence because at the end of the day you only     report to you. 3. Pursue love. Do what you love. Get off the treadmill of     just making a living. After the presentation, several of the attendees commented and sent emails about the "goofy science" he proffered. Yet others see him as their hero. Is he a "goofy professor" (New York Times), "Doomist cult hero" (Michael Mann in Washington Post that day) or a solid scientist? You may judge for yourself at https://www.facebook.com/daniel.folkman.31 where his talk was live -streamed.

On Nov 8 2014, I met w/some WI state green party people, several of which knew more than I about Pinkney, one of which has known of him for about 10 years, and strongly vouched for his integrity, calling him a "political prisoner".

Pinkney needs our support.

Classic, old school T-posts provide the strong support and adjustable height- compensates for hills, sign can be level w/posts at uneven height.

The horizontal support for the sign was the toughest step to solve. The solution involves specialized "wedgeloc" brand t-post brackets - let me know if you come up w/a cheaper, yet convenient solution.

The sign copy, printing, and lamination.

This was my first time laminating. Not sure if I bought the right stuff, but it worked- the sign survived a few rain storms. > School Smart Laminating Film, 1-1/2 mil, 1 inch Core, 25 inch X 200 feet Roll

Fedex charges about $3/square foot to laminate; this approach saves money.

One side of the laminate film is less shiny, that is the side that should contact the paper.

I went to an office store and got a large piece of paper-foam board, to put down on the floor as a worksurface ('Royal Eco Brites 30" x 40" White Foam Board'). This cost about $7, and is not ideal, since the foam 'gives' a bit too much; your pressing down with a hot household iron, so you need a flat surface, and you have to protect it from the heat. A desk blotter might have been better, but they are over $25.

Having done just 3 signs, I have not perfected the lamination process, I get some uneveness or "rippling/cupping". I set the iron to slightly under the "cotton setting". I use blue painters tape to put the sign down on the floor on top of the paper-foam board.

To apply the heat, I placed an 8.5 x 11 piece of blank printer paper between the iron and the film. That worked OK, but a larger sheet of paper would have been better. I started near the center of the sign, working outward.

Some ideas to minimize "ripples" I have not tried, so they may help or hurt:

• Pre-heat the sign paper first ?

• Try putting the film on the back side (blank side) first?

getting sign printed

I use Latex for type setting software to create a pdf. Just email the pdf to kinkos, giving them the border dimensions. The sign pictured cost about $4 to print.

canvassing alone tips

I'm not an expert, but thought this was worth sharing. Grateful for constructive additions and comments.

some challenges: Your hands and fingers are writing, knocking on doors, shuffling papers. Your doing desk work outside in the wind, standing up in unfamiliar territory. You have a list, map, lit to hand out, and lit just to present. You're dealing w/ households that have multiple roommates, with duplexes, backyard or side "A" suffix apts, single families, and locked apt blgs.

• Spend some time in the office, or in your car organizing your turf (street by street contacts).
• get an "over the shoulder bag" for the literature
• consider buying one of those aluminum box/clip boards.
• take along some blue tape use it to affix to your clip board's back:
  • phone number of organization sending you out (for questions)
  • key URLs you want to share
  • a sheet of paper w/your main talking points
• take 3 file folders with offset tabs so you can organize a your turf a bit
• plan your walk, and order the sheets accordingly
  • get streets in order, using the printed map, and possibly your cell phone map
  • Although obvious, it did not click for me - addresses on a given block are all at the same hundred level (eg 2400, 2500, 2600...); take advantage of this fact when looking at map and ording sheets.
  • with in a given street order those sheets in walking order
• pre-bend / mangle the corners of the print outs slightly so you can easily flip through the pages. Often a list of people in a household spans from one page to another. Cold fingers are challenged.
• on cold days, your right hand glove need to be cut for thumb, and adjacent 2 or 3 fingers, so you can write
• When done w/a page of turf I put the clip board down on the sidewalk, kneel down, remove the done sheet, and move it "face up" so it is the absolute bottom sheet on the clipboard. That way, when done you have a nice ordered list. Doing this standing up in the wind is risky.

Park your car in the middle of your turf - advantage: it's never that far away - disadvantage: your turf paperwork ordering is a bit more challenging

Consider picking the next address from the list without looking at the name, keep that address in your head, walk up w/eyes on the residence, not on your clipboard, knock and ring door bell; then in the wait time, look at the clip board at your address, for completion - look carefully for the next new address; finally read all the names of voters you need to ask about. If you do not look for the next new address, you might find the next page contains a person you did not ask about it the current address.

If no one is home do not make yourself suspect, do not twist your neck to look through another window "to see if they're really home"; put the literature in the door, before marking them not home.

Some people are concerned about, and guard their privacy. Introduce yourself, tell them who paid for the database (your turf list). Explain that voting tendencies are modeled from public voting records; ie either you did or did not vote. Closed primaries, where you vote all republican or all democrat help "clue in" the behavioral model. I emphasize that I'm just a volunteer, that I have no direct connection w/the org that owns the database. I could use some help dealing respectively w/these people - they may not want to disclose their position.

Walk all the way to the neutral ground, ie the public sidewalk before writing your notes.

common mistakes:

• page break hides an additional person in household you just talked with
• you just walked back to the sidewalk, but your next household is back up the stairs , eg. the neighboring apt in a duplex

In a dense residential neighborhood, I think you can hit about 50 doors in 3 hours. Typically more than half do not answer, and perhaps 40-50% of the time when they answer the door, none of your target voters are home - so you need a speech/strategy for people not on your list.

Neoliberalism

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoliberalism

When the term was reintroduced in the 1980s in connection with Augusto Pinochet's economic reforms in Chile, the usage of the term had shifted. It had not only become a term with negative connotations employed principally by critics of market reform, but it also had shifted in meaning from a moderate form of liberalism to a more radical and laissez-faire capitalist set of ideas. Scholars now tended to associate it with the theories of economists Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman,4 along with politicians and policy-makers such as Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan and Alan Greenspan

http://inthesetimes.com/article/20360/Jonathan-Chait-Neoliberalism-Capitalism-Austerity

Neoliberals believe that society functions best when corporations are publicly furnished with what they need to survive and thrive. Socialists feel this way about the public, not corporations.

--snip

Socialists’ proposed healthcare solution, Medicare for All, would wipe out the private health insurance industry. This is clearly not a neoliberal proposition, as it results in less capitalism, not more. Socialists’ ideal healthcare solution, nationalized medicine, is entirely anathema to neoliberals, who only make allowances for the welfare state when it runs parallel to and supports, rather than supplants, private industry.

RSS overview. Why Your Website Needs a RSS feed

Also an argument - you should find a good/free RSS reader, and start mining Internet through your list of RSS feeds.

RSS

(Rich Site Summary; originally RDF Site Summary; often called Really Simple Syndication)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS

http://www.whatisrss.com/

It's pretty simple - if you do not have an RSS feed your missing the sector of tech savvy / news junkie RSS users, many of which have been using RSS since roughly year 2000! I'm willing to check your RSS feed maybe 6 times a day, each time getting a quick time sorted summary of your latest articles. I visit the feeds of several dozen RSS feeds daily; the mental cost of visiting each site directly is too much/I will not do that. Visiting a site directly requires a wait for it to load, and then additional effort to see if anything is new. Visiting an RSS feed is fast (can be automated, ie to reload/cache periodically), and all the new article summaries show up at the top, with on the order of one line per article.

Analogy: Checking RSS is like looking at your new email sorted by date and time, with latest at the top; in RSS you select among the top 10 (10 is a site by site setting, some are 100+) latest articles by their 1 line headlines or titles (analgous to email 'Subject' lines).

Now Is the Perfect Time for an RSS Renaissance (Apr 2018)

The Case for RSS

RSS: there's nothing better

It's time to head back to RSS? (wired.com)

Good News: RSS is "built in" to some blog software

I understand from a Wordpress savy friend that RSS feeds are automatically made by and built in to Wordpress; I assume this is case for other blog sw packages. So, blog authors may have RSS feeds but not be aware of nor promote them (feed links may not be displayed) which leads to next topic - finding feeds.

How to find RSS feeds

Links may literally say something like 'RSS Feed', or they may signal that a link is an RSS feed via the a smaller version of this orange symbol.

Tools exist to search a page for RSS feeds in the html header of a given web page; often the home page. RSS feed Links only in this header, do not show up visibly on the page; so a tool to list them is imp.

Firefox 52 provides a button to feed RSS feeds ( feeds placed in html header) on a web page:

• select the menu button (3 parallel lines)
• select customize
• look for the RSS icon, It has text label "Subscribe". Drag that to your toolbar
• exit customize

Podcasts should have a dedicated RSS feed

As a rule, if your podcast does not have an RSS feed, I will not listen to it - my podcatching software will not find it.

When your podcast is in an RSS feed, then with podcatcher software you can manually or automatically generate a playlist, from the list of RSS feeds you have subscribed to. I listen to such a playlist daily. I'm liable to automatically hear your show more often this way, since I do not have to click-click-click my way to your website to listen to the show.

Here is an overview of sites with podcast RSS feeds that I subscribe to.

History of podcasts

https://www.wired.com/2009/08/dayintech_0813/

Actual credit for the invention of the podcasting model goes to Dave Winer. Software developer Winer helped create Really Simple Syndication (RSS) — a basic web feed simplifying the process of subscribing to websites and other online media. He used RSS to deliver his audio program, Morning Coffee Notes, just a day before Curry’s program debuted.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_podcasting

Winer included the new functionality in RSS 0.92[10] by defining a new element11 called "enclosure",12 which would simply pass the address to a media aggregator. On January 11, 2001, Winer demonstrated the RSS enclosure feature by enclosing a Grateful Dead song in his Scripting News weblog.13

Group Emailing Best Practices

Summary:

• To: header should only have a single group email address or the special empty group address:

Undisclosed recipients:;

• If you are going to piece together a list of personal email addresses, they belong in the BCC header. The group email address is better assuming the group admin keeps it current.

Exposing email addresses in To: and Cc: can lead to spam

All it takes is for one person on the list to have their mail account or computer compromised; or for someone to post the email with all the email addresses visible in the To: field to a web server which does not obfuscate email addresses, then every one on the list may get spam.

Viruses can break into address books and harvest email addresses. I assume some mail clients offer to auto build address books from incoming email; or cache these addresses somewhere that they may be scraped. I just received raunchy spam from w/a "From" address matching an old tenant; clearly they did not send it.

Another scenario - someone in the group forwards the email to a friend, it gets forwarded again ... eventually the list is in hands of someone with a business interest in the group so the spam starts.

If email addresses are shared less, we all get less spam.

Keeping To: and Cc: free of personal email addresses

It's possible that someone may want to be a member of the mailing group but still not want to share out their email address; the group admin could honor this.

The general rule for a "subject area" mailing list, for example a group about "electric scooters" is that no ones' email address is exposed unless they post to the group.

Example header for posting to yaml "subject area" mailing list:

To:      yaml-core@lists.sourceforge.net
From:    "Martin Eisengardt" <MEP_Eisen@example.com>
Subject: [Yaml-core] yaml spec on comments

For an activist group there is a need and an enthusiasm to work together and coordinate; still pls be mindful about explicit email addresses, privacy, and spam.

http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/11/30/the-cia-and-the-press-when-the-washington-post-ran-the-cias-propaganda-network/

here is a brief historical note on how at the height of the Cold War the CIA developed it’s very own stable of writers, editors and publishers (swelling to as many as 3000 individuals) that it paid to scribble Agency propaganda under a program called Operation Mockingbird. The disinformation network was supervised by the late Philip Graham, former publisher of Timberg’s very own paper, the Washington Post.

http://www.carlbernstein.com/magazine_cia_and_media.php

Alsop is one of more than 400 American journalists who in the past twenty‑five years have secretly carried out assignments for the Central Intelligence Agency, according to documents on file at CIA headquarters. Some of these journalists’ relationships with the Agency were tacit; some were explicit. There was cooperation, accommodation and overlap. Journalists provided a full range of clandestine services—from simple intelligence gathering to serving as go‑betweens with spies in Communist countries.

Robert Parry Intro

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Parry_(journalist)

Active on Consortiumnews, IMHO he is a prolific writer of long/challenging, in depth political investigative stories.

Not without a few faults or blind spots:

https://markbruzonsky.wordpress.com/2016/04/25/why-is-robert-parry-so-afraid/

when it comes to 9/11 Parry refuses to publicly debate David Ray Griffin or any other major 9/11 personality, plus he likes to point the finger at the Saudis but refuses to do so when it comes to the Israelis and their powerful Israeli/Jewish lobby

Neocons' History

The History of the Neocon Takeover of the USA

Here is an interview by Kevin Barrett of the authors of the article: 'The History of the Neocon Takeover of the USA'.

Paul Fitzgerald and Elizabeth Gould claim that the first Neocons were Trotskyites.

• @31m08s: Trotskyites as revolutionary opposition.

• @31m45s: They immigrated to USA and "did not fit in". ( i.g. Sidney Hooks, Irvining Crystal. )

• @31m50s: Trotskyites as "culture of opposition"; first anti Zar, then anti Stalin.

• @32m21s: 1920s/30s Fights between, Trotskyites and Stalinists in NY Pub Library. Still clashes up to 1970. [ I would be interested in these discussions, not clear what content was.]

• @33m00s: Philosopher James Burnham became a Trotskyite in 1934-1940, and then later under the influence of Spengler's 'The Decline of the West' ...

• @36m18s: Israel & Pakistan both "religious states" created by British. British impact on US thinking.

• @40m50s Inenvitable 1 world government is coming. Who is going to run it? Geography is all important here.

• @41m40s Who ever controls EurAsia, Ukraine, the resources of Central Asia will rule the World. "The Great Game"

Ran out of time but hope to dig into this more.

thesaker.is website

Stumbled over this website, theSaker - example article. Not endorsing it, but I will keep checking back there; I like their tag line "Stop the Empire's war against Russia".

https://solari.com/blog/book-review-the-essential-saker-from-the-trenches-of-the-emerging-multipolar-world/

Born and raised in Switzerland by Russian parents who were refugees from the Bolshevik Revolution, “the Saker” studied in the United States and lived and worked in Europe as a military analyst. Opposed to the destruction of successive countries in Eastern Europe (aka the US/NATO wars), he reinvented himself as a software engineer who now lives in the United States (as he puts it, “the Imperial Homeland”). Frustrated by the ongoing destruction in Europe, he started to blog.

The rest is history. When war in the Ukraine splashed its way across Western headlines, readership at The Vineyard of the Saker exploded.

Orwell restating Burnham:

Power can sometimes be won or maintained without violence, but never without fraud, because it is necessary to make use of the masses, and the masses would not co-operate if they knew that they were simply serving the purposes of a minority.

PGP Crypto Overview

Intro

If the term 'key' is used alone, think of it as the entire public/private (secret) key pair, and any subkeys.

If I understand correctly, the collection of a key and the sub keys bound to it are called a 'key block'; so for example when you exchange public keys, they are really 'public key blocks'.

Expect to be confused, this is complicated, and it inevitably is explained in a way that over simplifies it. Feel free though to interrupt with questions. Fortunately the #gnupg IRC group, and mailing list are active and responsive.

Carefully Choose "Real Name String" and email addr for your key

You will create a public/private key pair which represents you w/a 'uid': "Real Name String", like "John R Doe", coupled w/a current, stable email address. Sub strings of either of these may be used at the commandline or in a key server search to select the key. Ideally the Real Name String or email will uniquely identify you and your key.

Ways of getting public keys of each other

• Download the other's key from a PGP keyserver, or a crypto party shared keyring.

• Share out via email or thumb drive w/o any encryption.

• bob emails alice bob's public key w/o encryption. Then alice signs bob's public key itself to vouch for bob's key validity. alice sends bob two separate signed encrypted emails:

  • An email with alice's public key.
  • An email with bobs's public key, which now has a signature on it by alice.

gnupg setup; suggest installing the 2.1.x branch

Much of the informal help on the web is for the 1.4 branch, you have been warned. The #gnupg IRC group steered me to the 2.1.x branch; I seem to have fewer issues with it. The 2.1.x branch makes it simpler to move your secret key offline, and works well with the gpg-agent.

$GPGHOME dir and gpg.conf

gpg2 will create $GPGHOME/ and gpg.conf when you first use it.

I spent time trying to optimize my gpg.conf; this is the template I settled on.

At a minimum I suggest these additions to gpg.conf:

    default-key YOUR_DEFAULT_KEY_EMAIL

    default-recipient-self

    # When outputting certificates, view user IDs distinctly from keys:
    fixed-list-mode

    # Display long key IDs
    keyid-format 0xlong

    # List all keys (or the specified ones) along with their fingerprints
    with-fingerprint

    # You should always know at a glance which User IDs gpg thinks are legitimately
    # bound to the keys in your keyring:
    verify-options show-uid-validity
    list-options show-uid-validity

    # prevent version string from appearing in your signatures/public keys
    no-emit-version

    ask-cert-level
        # For --sign-key

gpg-agent cache-ttl

The time interval that the agent will cache your password is configurable. I find the defaults too short; hence the changes below:

bob@epjdn:~/.gnupg $ ls -log gpg-agent.conf; cat gpg-agent.conf
-rw-------. 1 561 May 22 06:49 gpg-agent.conf
# `--default-cache-ttl N'
#      Set the time a cache entry is valid to N seconds.  The default is
#      600 seconds.

default-cache-ttl 1800

# `--max-cache-ttl N'
#      Set the maximum time a cache entry is valid to N seconds.  After
#      this time a cache entry will be expired even if it has been
#      accessed recently.  The default is 2 hours (7200 seconds).

diceware for passphrases

This 1 line perl script, wrapped in a bash function is used to create passphrases:

}

we're assuming your name is Bob Covert

create your identity, your keypair

Ideally do this step on an air-gapped computer or one that can be temporally disconnected from Internet, so your secret (private master) key is never exposed to Internet; after creation, move secret key to thumb drive. This computer need only be offline for the time it takes to create the key and move it to backup thumb drives.

You might be tempted to publish this new public key to Internet. Suggest you consider this a test run, and that you delete and start over a time or two; even practice a dry run key exchange first before you publish to a keyserver. Once published you can revoke, but not delete; revoked key is there forever.

Walk though Key Creation & Exchange

This is the bulk of this post, and is long. ": #*" (bash NOPs) are used like markdown headers to document current focus or purpose.

We're assuming your name is Bob Covert, and you want to exchange public keys with Alice Terminello where both of you meet face to face at a crypto party.

For this example on fedora 24, gpg2 was already installed by root on host "epjdn", but bob, and alice have never touched it.

Exchange these paper slips with each other.

When "gpg signing", the two of you, meeting in person at the crypto party, will provide each other with this paper slip, and also present another suitable printed proof of identity.

After pub key is imported to your key ring, and before you sign it, run 'gpg2 -k' and validate that it's uid and fingerprint agrees w/the paper slip.

We need to generate a lot of random bytes. It is a good idea to perform
some other action (type on the keyboard, move the mouse, utilize the
disks) during the prime generation; this gives the random number
generator a better chance to gain enough entropy.

How carefully have you verified the key you are about to sign actually belongs
to the person named above?  If you don't know what to answer, enter "0".

   (0) I will not answer. (default)
   (1) I have not checked at all.
   (2) I have done casual checking.
   (3) I have done very careful checking.

Your selection? (enter '?' for more information): 2
Are you sure that you want to sign this key with your
key "Alice Terminello <alice@zq3q.org>" (0xCAFCD0074F93BB48)

I have checked this key casually.

Really sign? (y/N) y

How carefully have you verified the key you are about to sign actually belongs
to the person named above?  If you don't know what to answer, enter "0".

   (0) I will not answer. (default)
   (1) I have not checked at all.
   (2) I have done casual checking.
   (3) I have done very careful checking.

Your selection? (enter '?' for more information): 2
Are you sure that you want to sign this key with your
key "Bob Covert <bob@zq3q.org>" (0x42874D18E36EC84D)

I have checked this key casually.

Really sign? (y/N) y

McMaster University CFMU http://cfmu.ca/about

CFMU started out as McMaster Radio in 1963 and was run by the BSB (Board of Student Broadcasting.) The studios were in the basement of Wentworth House and as Bruce Beghamer ’67 recalls, ’We originally piped broadcasting to the residences. It was quite the adventure back then. We had a very small budget from the MSU, but we had huge heart and enthusiasm from our radio members.’

local activist Brendan Stone Intro

https://zeroanthropology.net/brendan-stone/

Brendan Stone is a graduate student at York University in Toronto, and an activist in Hamilton, Ontario.

He became involved in anti-war activism after taking part in the movements that coalesced against NATO’s war on Yugoslavia in 1999, and the build-up to war in Iraq in 2003. Since that time, he has drawn inspiration from the Haitian people’s grassroots resistance to neo-liberal colonialism, and the popular politics emerging in South America.

Centre for Research on Globalization (CRG) Intro ; www.globalresearch.ca

http://www.globalresearch.ca/about

Since September 2001, we have established an extensive archive of news articles, in-depth reports and analysis on issues which are barely covered by the mainstream media.

In an era of media disinformation, our focus has essentially been to center on the “unspoken truth”.

During the invasion of Iraq (March-April 2003), Global Research published, on a daily basis, independent reports from the Middle East, which provided an alternative to the news emanating from the “embedded” journalists reporting from the war theater.

Dr. Gary Null

An internationally renowned expert in the field of health and nutrition, Gary Null, Ph.D is the author of over 70 best-selling books on healthy living and the director of over 100 critically acclaimed full-feature documentary films on natural health, self-empowerment and the environment. He is the host of ‘The Progressive Commentary Hour” and “The Gary Null Show”, the country’s longest running nationally syndicated health radio talk show which can be heard daily on here on the Progressive Radio Network.

Throughout his career, Gary Null has made hundreds of radio and television broadcasts throughout the country as an environmentalist, consumer advocate, investigative reporter and nutrition educator. More than 28 different Gary Null television specials have appeared on PBS stations throughout the nation, inspiring and motivating millions of viewers. He originated and completed more than one hundred major investigations on health issues resulting in the use of material by 20/20 and 60 Minutes.

Tireless, has his own unique "take"; an interesting interview style - he asks 3 and up to 5 questions in one shot. Egotistical, eccentric, and driven - yes, but as far as I know he is principled, fair; puts effort into connecting with many types/classes of people.

He does a daily weekday (often a monologue) show that combines: review of current research on diet, health/exercise; and his take on politics/often foreign policy. One day per week he does "The Progressive Commentary Hour" ;usually intense 1:1 interview of a political expert.

from www.tucradio.org:

Ralph Nader called him the 'historian of corporations' and a new, inspiring reading of history was his special gift. Richard said that the American revolution was fought less against the crown but against the crown corporations. And he believed that it's time to remember that fight and assert sovereignty of the people over the corporate state and ask: Why should the many be governed by the few?" In the last 15 years he had been an important member of POCLAD, the Project on Corporations, Law and Democracy and CELDF, the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund. His lasting legacy are the Democracy Schools that continue to be taught across the country, and a pamphlet: Taking Care of Business describes the process of de-chartering corporations.

Human Rights Watch

http://www.ngo-monitor.org/ngos/human_rights_watch_hrw_/

Human Rights Watch is a powerful NGO, with a massive budget, close links to Western governments, and significant influence in international institutions. Its publications reflect the absence of professional standards, research methodologies, and military and legal expertise, as well as a deep-seated ideological bias against Israel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Human_Rights_Watch

https://www.counterpunch.org/2013/03/14/the-bias-of-human-rights-watch/

http://observer.com/2016/06/human-rights-watch-and-amnesty-internationals-little-bias-problem/

when it comes to the Arab world’s conflict with Israel, the non-governmental behemoths whose public relations machines match that of the UN—Humans Rights Watch and Amnesty International—have a slant that is every bit as biased, and every bit as eye-rolling, as the UN’s. For years the two organizations could consistently distribute Israel’s sworn enemies’ version of the facts with complete impunity.

Make No Mistake: There is a media blockade against Venezuela

https://venezuelanalysis.com/analysis/13070

Since April 4th, opposition militants have been carrying out targeted acts of violence, vandalism and arson, as well as deliberately clashing with security forces in an attempt to plunge the country into total chaos and forcefully remove the elected socialist government. It is the continuation of an 18 year effort to topple the Bolivarian revolution by any means necessary — although you may have seen it miraculously recast in the mainstream media as “promoting a return to democracy” in the country.

an 18 year effort to topple the Bolivarian revolution by any means necessary — although you may have seen it miraculously recast in the mainstream media as “promoting a return to democracy” in the country.

This narrative cannot be described as even a remotely accurate interpretation of the facts, and so it is important to set the record straight.

but failed to acknowledge that a pro-government march of similar size, if not greater, was also held the same day. They simply erased the actions of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people. Whichever news agency you check, be it the BBC, the Washington Post, CNN, or any other corporate outlet, you will find the same, uniform consensus in their Venezuela coverage. There are no words to describe this state of affairs other than a total media blockade.

I spent 30 min this morning in early July trying to find articles and bloggers in support of the current gov in Venezuela. There appears to be an usually strong bias on twitter, and in general web searches for Venezuela in favor of the "failure of socialism", and the over throw of Maduro.

plan

• [x] First contact w/Marina Dimitrijevic Spoke today w/Arkesia who works for Marina. She suggests this is an issue that "the parks dept" is focusing on. No date for chop down is set. There is a consensus that a plan must be made for "what to do with the wood". I mentioned the idea of a tree related event in front of the tree before chop down.

• [x] Wait or followup with "the parks dept" - Arkesia said they will get back to me. Arkesia got back to me saying thta the plan is to cut down tree by "end of summer"; that they are coordinating w/several groups for plans to use the wood; that director of parks John Daryle(sp?!) is the person to contact.

WI Recount “Reform” Bills Worsen Already Opaque Elections, Critics Warn

https://whowhatwhy.org/2017/07/11/wi-recount-reform-bills-worsen-already-opaque-elections-critics-warn/

July 11, 2017 | Sean Steinberg

Snips from the article:

Under Assembly Bill 153 and Senate Bill 102, candidates cannot request recounts unless they finish within one percent of the winner. The proposal would also reduce the time available for candidates to petition for recounts.

---

Tusler appeared to dismiss Stein's justification for initiating the recount, when he noted that “the skeptical viewer” could easily believe she was using the recount to raise funds for her Green Party.

---

Despite the court ruling out a manual recount, FairVote credits the Wisconsin process with shedding light on “more than 11,000 errors in how ballots were counted on election night.” Among those errors, according to McKim, were “massive issues with counting and reporting the write-in votes,” “widespread problems processing early and absentee ballots,” and “scattered electronic miscounts.”

---

“Ideally all states would have robust post-election audits that would hand-recount a statistically significant random sample of the ballots cast to ensure that the election results are accurate. In practice, few states do this,” Wilson told WhoWhatWhy via email. “Whether the canvass boards are equipped to do it does not mean that they DO do it.”

McKim agreed. “You also need to be aware that election officials (municipal clerks and county clerks) generally are NOT professional managers of the sort you see in other IT-dependent operations, such as banking, retail uses of computer technology, or other government functions,” she wrote. “DO NOT assume that basic, common-sense quality-assurance practices taken for granted outside elections are used when counting votes.”

Though she described them as “absolutely inefficient,” McKim said that “in the absence of routine audits, recounts are necessary.” The good news, she added, is that “recounts are expensive, but routine audits need not be.”

In fact, the routine-audit solution proposed by SAVEOurVotes' Wilson receives widespread support among election integrity activists, including Pam Smith, a consultant to the advocacy group Verified Voting.

“That should be the primary focus going forward: better audits can deter fraud and tampering, can uncover it if sufficiently robust, and can provide evidence of what the correct outcome should be, if actual voter intent is examined. If a robust audit is conducted after each election, the need for recounts should be reduced significantly,” Smith told WhoWhatWhy. “Right now, the state's audit law needs work before it can be said to be an essential safeguard for the security of Wisconsin's elections.”

While some may consider such safeguards too expensive, advocates believe they are vital to support healthy elections.

“When you consider what is at stake --- the legitimacy of our democracy --- it seems valuable to invest the time and effort to confirm that election results are fair and accurate. People quickly lose interest in participating in a process that they feel is rigged,” Wilson said.

Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch are, essentially, weapons in the imperial arsenal. Their value to the empire increased exponentially when Barack Obama adopted humanitarian intervention as a pillar of American war doctrine. Who better than self-styled human rights activists to justify humanitarian wars?

---

Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch denounce Russia and China as enemies of human rights in Syria, because they have resisted a catastrophic western military assault on that country. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch actively campaign for wars – and they always turn out to be the same wars that Washington is planning to wage. They provided much of the propaganda ammunition for the U.S. and European war against Libya, giving credibility to lies about an imminent massacre in Benghazi. Both organizations are imposters on the world scene, pretending to care for human rights while advocating that the U.S. and its friends trample on the national sovereignty of weaker states – as if human rights can exist outside the framework of international law.

On page 11:

the Canadian government announced that it would settle with Ethyl, paying $13 million in damages and legal fees. Unusually, the Canadian government simultaneously announced it would reverse the ban on MMT – only recently passed to protect its citizens – allowing the toxin to reenter Canada’s gasoline supply .

Moslem Brotherhood

official website http://www.ikhwanweb.com/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_Brotherhood

the Qur'an is the Constitution

---

a transnational Sunni Islamist organization founded in Egypt by Islamic scholar and schoolteacher Hassan al-Banna in 1928.[1][2][3][4] The organisation gained supporters throughout the Arab world and influenced other Islamist groups such as Hamas[5] with its "model of political activism combined with Islamic charity work",[6] and in 2012 sponsored the elected political party in Egypt after the January Revolution in 2011. However, it faced periodic government crackdowns for alleged terrorist activities, and as of 2015 is considered a terrorist organization by the governments of Bahrain,[7][8] Egypt, Russia, Syria, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates.

---

The Muslim Brotherhood's goal, as stated by its founder al-Banna was to drive out British colonial and other Western influences, reclaim Islam's manifest destiny—an empire, stretching from Spain to Indonesia.

---

after the revolution Gamal Abdel Nasser, the leader of the 'free officers' cell, after deposing the first President of Egypt, Muhammad Neguib, in a coup, quickly moved against the Brotherhood, blaming them for an attempt on his life. The Brotherhood was again banned and this time thousands of its members were imprisoned, many being tortured and held for years in prisons and concentration camps. In the 1950s and 1960s many Brotherhood members sought sanctuary in Saudi Arabia.

---

the Muslim Brotherhood has never attempted to create a branch for Shia,

---

Brotherhood members fought alongside the Arab armies during the 1948 Arab–Israeli war, and, after Israel's creation, the ensuing Palestinian refugee crisis encouraged more Palestinian Muslims to join the group.

http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/features/2017/06/muslim-brotherhood-explained-170608091709865.html

https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Document:Britain_and_the_Muslim_Brotherhood

During the early years of the Second World War, British strategy towards the Brotherhood in Egypt mainly involved attempts to suppress it. Yet at this time the Brotherhood, which was allied to the political right, also enjoyed the patronage of the pro-British Egyptian monarchy, which had begun to fund the Brotherhood in 1940. King Farouk saw the Brothers as a useful counter to the power of the major political party in the country – the secular, nationalist Wafd Party – and the communists. A British intelligence report of 1942 noted that ‘the Palace had begun to find the Ikhwan useful and has thrown its aegis over them.’ During this time, many Islamic societies in Egypt were sponsored by the authorities to oppose rivals or enhance the interests of the British, the palace or other influential groups.

It is also likely that Trump’s gaggle of White House generals, led by Secretary of Defense James “Mad Dog” Mattis and national security advisor H.R. McMaster, have kept the Pentagon in check, preventing a reprise of the mutiny that sabotaged President Obama’s cease-fire and intelligence-sharing agreement with Russian forces in Syria, on September 17 of last year. In a blatant rebellion against civilian authority, U.S. warplanes killed 100 Syrian soldiers at Deir Ez-Zor, allowing ISIS to overrun half the city. The next week, with Secretary of Defense Ash Carter at his side, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford told the Senate Armed Services Committee, “The U.S. military role will not include intelligence sharing with the Russians." The Pentagon had “punked” lame duck President Barack Obama and his secretary of state, John Kerry.

---

Trump this summer defied the War Party and its corporate media mouthpieces, negotiating a cease-fire with the Russians in several regions of Syria, to be followed by additional truces, and ending the CIA’s not-so-covert role as Grandmaster of Islamic Jihad. It seemed...unreal.

---

Trump could not resist a Twitter retort. “The Amazon Washington Post fabricated the facts on my ending massive, dangerous, and wasteful payments to Syrian rebels fighting Assad,” he wrote, effectively declassifying the now-defunct (are we sure?) CIA terror campaign.

Anti Assad Evidence; Syrian repression

https://www.hrw.org/report/2010/07/16/wasted-decade/human-rights-syria-during-bashar-al-asads-first-ten-years-power

in May 2007, Syrian courts sentenced leading dissident Kamal Labwani and prominent political writer Michel Kilo to long jail terms for their peaceful activities, only weeks after jailing human rights lawyer Anwar al-Bunni.

--snip

On July 28, 2009, the government detained Muhanad al-Hasani, a human rights lawyer and the foremost monitor of the State Security Court. Three months later, on October 14, 2009, it detained Haytham al-Maleh, 78, a human rights lawyer who criticized the regime’s policies

--snip

The crackdown began in August 2001. On August 9 the security services detained Ma’mun al-Homsi, a deputy in the People’s Assembly known for his criticism of the regime. Subsequent arrests of prominent political and rights activists soon followed, and within a month, Syrian authorities had arrested 10 opposition leaders, including two members of parliament, and cracked down on civil society advocacy groups. The two lawmakers, al-Homsi and Seif, were convicted of “attempting to change the constitution by illegal means” and “inciting racial and sectarian strife,” and sentenced by the Damascus Criminal Court to five years in jail. The other eight activists, Riad al-Turk, Aref Dalilah, Walid al-Bunni, Kamal al-Labwani, Habib Salih, Hasan Sadun, Habib `Isa, and Fawwaz Tello, were referred to the Supreme State Security Court, which issued prison sentences of between two to ten years.

--snip

Dr. Kamal al-Labwani, a physician and founder of the Democratic Liberal Gathering, was sentenced in May 2007 to 12 years in prison for “communicating with a foreign country and inciting it to initiate aggression against Syria” after he visited the United States and Europe in the fall of 2005,

--snip

As one human rights lawyer told Human Rights Watch recently, “I cannot go on like this. I keep getting called in for interrogation. Every time I go, I don’t know if I will be detained or not.”

--snip

After Bashar al-Asad assumed power, he removed the outright ban on independent publications, but introduced a new Press Law (Decree No. 50/2001), promulgated on September 22, 2001, which provided the government with sweeping control over newspapers, magazines, and other periodicals,

Charlottesville Police Inaction: Part of a Nationwide Development

I respect the author Peter Dale Scott

Here is the article: https://whowhatwhy.org/2017/08/14/charlottesville-police-inaction-part-nationwide-development/

The Charlottesville PD was inactive against right-wing violence; the Berkeley police department was inactive against left-wing violence. Question: were both instances cases of police just not wanting to get involved, or were they tacitly approving violence by actors they approved of?

After a labor of Hercules, the heavy cages were unloaded from the trucks and the 13 new residents were gently introduced into their new enclosures. The animals were of course confused, exhausted and testy, but we were thrilled that our wards were finally safe in their new homes.

We humans were also exhausted, but elated. I had slept no more than a few hours for days and was groggy from jet lag and fatigue. But Four Paws had achieved the impossible and shone a beacon of humanity into the boiling darkness of Syria’s civil war.

Eva Bartlett intro

@EvaKBartlett

Her blog: https://ingaza.wordpress.com/

Eva Bartlett is an independent writer and rights activist with extensive experience in Syria and in the Gaza Strip, where she lived a cumulative three years (from late 2008 to early 2013). She documented the 2008/9 and 2012 Israeli war crimes and attacks on Gaza while riding in ambulances and reporting from hospitals.

/Afghanistan/ As US Empire Fails, Trump Enters a Quagmire

https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/08/29/as-us-empire-fails-trump-enters-a-quagmire/

Afghanistan is of geopolitical importance. It is a place where the US can impact China’s ‘One Belt One Road’ to Europe where China can take the place of Russia and the United States in providing wealthy Europeans with key commodities like oil and gas. Just as the United States has stayed in Germany, Italy and other European states and Japan after WW II, and in Korea after the Korean war, the empire sees a need to be in Afghanistan to be well positioned for the future of the empire. Terrorism is not the issue, economic competition with China, which is quickly becoming the leading global economic power, is the real issue.

Of course, the war also ensures immense profits for the war industry. St. Clair emphasizes that “in 2016, the Pentagon spent $3.6 million for each US soldier stationed in Afghanistan.

2017 Jun 14 Interview

Talking Racine (Ken Yorgan) interviews members of the Racine Green Party. The Racine Green Party is grassroots activists, advocates for social justice, environmentalist, nonviolent resisters and regular citizens who’ve had enough of corporate dominated politics. The Green Party is calling for a citizen referendum to all but eliminate the consequences of casual marijuana use. Another of the major initiatives of the Racine Green Party is to halt the taxpayer funded construction of the so called “arena project.”

A new voice FOR Racine

We are strong only when we stand together. Our goal will be to not only bring our diverse communities together, but to build a strong and thriving Racine. It’s time to lead the charge! Please vote for me September 19th.

As a long-term resident of Racine, I will bring the citizens' views to the mayor's office. With low voter turnout, it is apparent our electoral process and the responsibility of voicing everyday citizens' concerns is no longer a high priority to our current elected officials. There are about 78,000 people here in Racine and only 8,000 to 14,000 vote. Why would we expect otherwise when the city council silences our voices on critical infrastructure spends like the arena? Or turning off street lights instead of installing renewable energy in neighborhoods to save on electricity? I will work to end this disconnect.

While I wear my progressive values like a badge at all times, I also respect the traditions of our government. I have the skill set to read through lengthy and often times dry legislation. I have no problem turning government communications into common everyday concepts so the citizens are aware of what we are doing and, most importantly, how it impacts them and future generations. I will do this once elected to office.

I have chosen to build a progressive coalition in Racine. We need people who are willing to sacrifice for this beautiful city and there are many opportunities to fulfill your civic duties. Racine has water quality and preservation concerns that need more citizen input. We have infrastructure issues that need forward thinking solutions. I welcome you to join me in engaging these committees and organizations. It’s time the everyday people take on representing ourselves.

Thoughts On Charlottesville by Art Heitzer

original source

From Turner Board President Art Heitzer:

[NOTE: this summary & analysis by our president is being shared for educational & discussion purposes, and has not been voted on by the Milwaukee Turners Board as a statement of policy or formal position.]

A FEW FACTS ABOUT THE RECENT EVENTS IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA

The day after a “white nationalist” gathering led to violent attacks directly killing one and wounding many others in Charlottesville, VA last month, President Donald Trump observed that there was“hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides.” He later asserted that there were “very fine people” and bad people on both the “Alt-right” and the “alt-left.”[1]

Many have criticized him for these and his other related remarks.[2] [So what are the facts?]

1.  About 1,000 mostly white males came to Charlottesville, VA on August 11-12, 2017 to participate in a “Unite the Right” rally, also stated to be in defense of a monument to Confederate General Robert E. Lee, in what the city government had renamed as Emancipation Park.  This gathering included “white nationalists,” neo-nazis, supporters of the KKK, and a variety of newer groups, and included prominent white supremacists who were scheduled to speak.  They have been called  the “alt-right,” a term coined by one of their leaders, Richard Spencer, and also used by Steve Bannon, who as head of Breitbart News declared it was “the platform for the alt-right.”[3] Bannon was the “Chief Strategist” to President Donald Trump at the time of the violence in Charlottesville.  He has since given up his position in the White House and returned to head Breitbart.

1A. Many of them marched in a (tiki) torchlight parade on Friday night August 11th,    surrounding a church where Black clergy and others gathered to express their opposition to racism and hatred.  The marchers chanted the nazi slogan “Blood and soil” (from “Blut und Boden”),[4] “You will not replace us,” and “Jews will not replace us!”[5] They confronted and attacked a group of University of Virginia students and staff who were by a monument to UVA founder Thomas Jefferson.  Friends of UVA library employee Tyler Magill, reported that he was hit in the neck by a torch during that attack; he later suffered a stroke which his doctors attributed to recent trauma to his neck. He is 46 years old and white.[6]

1B. As seen live on national cable news on Saturday morning, the white nationalists included many in black uniforms dressed much like riot police, carrying shields and clubs, and wearing helmets.  Some were armed with pepper spray; others openly carried assault rifles which is evidently allowed in Virginia, an open carry state. With them were others carrying flags with the nazi swastika,  neo-nazi symbols, and confederate flags.

2.  On Friday evening in a church, and on Saturday at Emancipation Park, many more thousands of mostly Charlottesville people gathered to show their opposition to white supremacy.  While Donald Trump called them the “alt-left,” there is no such entity.  These local residents and students were of many colors and ethnicities.  Among them were some people called Antifa (short for Anti-fascists), who are decentralized, autonomous and sometimes anarchists (who are against authority).  Antifa believe that white racist groups are a threat when they take the public space and intimidate people of color and others, and that to prevent this they should be physically confronted if necessary.[7]

3.  Absent an imminent threat to violence, mainstream U.S. law interpretations hold that expressing racial hatred and supremacy is protected free speech, and the same for advocating violence or genocide if such action is not imminent (a “clear and present danger”). This is not true in many other nations where “group defamation” is recognized and is not considered protected.  In Germany, based on 12 years of nazi rule and the the Holocaust, it has been illegal since the nazi defeat in 1945 to publicly display the  swastika , and nazi parties are banned. This was true under the U.S. occupation of Germany, and has continued since.  In the U.S., millions of persons were forcibly imported, killed, enslaved and sold over a period of some 250 years; this was justified by an ideology of white supremacy based on skin color. That ideology was then also used to justify denying African Americans equal rights for most of another century. This legacy has not been recognized as justification for similar measures here which  the U.S. had mandated against the nazis in Europe, and which are still in force today. There is some irony in this, as the London Economist noted, “indeed, the Nazis were inspired by Jim Crow laws and studied segregation as a possible model for German society.”[8]

4. On Saturday August 12, Charlottesville and Virginia police corralled the armed “white nationalists” together with thousands of anti-racists, and for approximately one hour stood on the perimeter with little or no intervention, as members of the “alt-right” kicked and clubbed people of color and protesters. Some of the anti-racists fought back at times, but without similar weaponry.

4A. DeAndre Harris, a local African American teacher and DJ, was brutally beaten on the ground right across from the police station, breaking his wrist and a tooth, among many injuries, and requiring eight staples to his head. This took place without any prompt police intervention. Afterwards he and other witnesses reported little interest from the police or FBI. After two weeks, single charges each of “malicious wounding” have been brought against two white males: an admirer of Hitler from Ohio and a second man in Georgia for being a part of this attack, which included at least six people repeatedly punching, kicking and beating Harris with metal poles as seen and video recorded by a journalist who was interviewed on Democracy Now.[9]

4B. Another white supremacist from Maryland who claims to be a KKK Imperial Wizard pointed a pistol and evidently shot a round into the crowd, towards an anti-racist with an aerosol can used to burn a white supremacist flag; the alleged shooter has been charged, including with discharging a firearm within 1,000 feet of a school.[10]

5.  The City of Charlottesville had tried to locate the “alt-right” demonstration to a different location but in response to a lawsuit by the ACLU, a judge upheld their “right” to rally at the park. After watching rather than trying to stop the violence, city authorities declared an “unlawful assembly.” In responding to attempts by Virginia's governor to blame the ACLU for the violence, its VA Executive Director replied, “In fact, law enforcement was standing passively by, seeming to be waiting for violence to take place, so that they would have grounds to declare an emergency, declare an ‘unlawful assembly' and clear the area.”[11] The ACLU later said they were misled by the white nationalist rally leaders who promised to be nonviolent, and the ACLU also said it would consider whether not to intervene on behalf of armed groups or where there was a potential for violence.[12]

6.   All of the incidents and attacks described above were well before a nazi sympathizer from Ohio drove his car into and then back over innocent protesters, killing a white Charlottesville paralegal, Heather Heyer and seriously wounding 19 others.

7.  Some people who oppose racism believe that the best approach is to ignore rather than confront such organized racist manifestations, even if that means to allow them to take the public space. This includes the Southern Poverty Law Center, which has litigated, researched, and done much education regarding what it considers to be hate groups, and argues that counter-demonstrating against racist extremists gives them publicity they would not get otherwise. Some  liken the antifa to being similar to the racist right, in tactics if not in ideology. Some suggest creative alternatives to confrontations.[13]

8.  The current controversy has been linked to the attempts to remove from the public space monuments to leaders of the confederacy, who took up arms against the United States in order to defend the institution of slavery.  The vast majority of these monuments were not erected shortly after the war, but were established at the height of the Jim Crow period, in which Blacks were denied equals rights, including the right to vote.  From about 1880 through the 1920's, this followed the violent destruction of reconstruction governments throughout the South, in which poor whites and poor blacks had united to establish governments which provided for equal rights, established free public schools for the first time, and many other reforms.  These fusion governments were protected by federal troops until 1877, when violence and terror tactics were used to disfranchise African Americans and intimidate or their white allies. The KKK was the primary organization used to reverse Reconstruction and re-establish white racial rule. As late as 1898 the duly elected government of Wilmington NC had persisted, only to be overthrown in what has been called the only coup d'état in U.S. history, accompanied by killing many Blacks and forcing over 2,000 to flee. This was a history that these monuments do not tell.  Rather they were erected, according Univ. of North Carolina History Prof. Karen L. Cox “as part of a campaign to paint the Southern cause in the Civil War as just and slavery as a benevolent institution, and their installation came against a backdrop of Jim Crow and oppression of African Americans. The monuments were put up as explicit symbols of white supremacy.”[14]

9.  The Milwaukee Turners was founded by German immigrants and refugees from the failed democratic revolution from 1848-49.  They were strong abolitionists.  The founder of the Milwaukee Turners and at least six American Turners served as Generals in the Union army.  After President Lincoln agreed with the appeals by Frederick Douglass, and many others (including Karl Marx) that it was necessary to arm African Americans to fight for the Union cause, the Civil war took a decisive turn.  While the troops  were generally segregated, and only whites could be officers, it was a Turner general who was honored to command the African American troops which then seized and occupied the capital of the confederacy, Richmond Virginia, near the end of the Civil War.  In 1911, as Jim Crow was being strengthened in the South --- accompanied by monuments which are now being challenged and removed --- the Milwaukee Turners established their Civil War monument to honor 26 members who gave their lives for the Union cause and to abolish slavery.

Community Brainstorming: FOXCONN - WHAT IS IT AND HOW DO WE GET INVOLVED?

jsonline coverage

meeting youtube video Sat 9/22

Other than Louis Butler, everyone that spoke seemed to think the deal was certain -- "the train has left the station".

Foxconn is a Tawain co. This factory will be the largest in USA - 20 million sq feet.

• Sen Lena C Taylor

Lena repeatedly complained about inadequate funding and planning for job training, thta would prepare her constituents for the Foxconn positions.

• Jamaal Smith

• Dr Eve Hall

• Gerard Randall

One third engineers ( R&D facility ); 1/3 jobs requiring 2 yr degrees - factory/assy work; 1/3 facility management, warehouse work and transport.

We already have $22 round trip service Milwaukee to Sturtevant WI.

Expecting need for new housing, for nationwide, and international influx of engineering talent.

• Louis Butler

Implied April 2018 Supreme Ct election could result in Foxconn law being over turned.

Any appeal of amendment 808.055 (Electronic Manufacturing Zone), goes immediately to the (stacked) Supreme Ct. This is legislation that restructures Judiciary process. "Automatic Stays pending appeals ... reviewable by Supreme Ct ... removing digression from trial court judges"

1:07:38 Marbarry vs Madison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbury_v._Madison

"The court determines what the law is... The law is what we (the court) say it is."

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_review_in_the_United_States]

Wisconsin has executive, judicial, and legislative branches, but unlike other states where these are fairly clearly separated realms, Wisconsin has instituted a juristition class refered to as a "zone of shared powers". For a given law or rule in the "shared power" class, which ever branch "speaks last" on that topic 'controls'!

• Timothy R. Sheehy

Notable people at mtg

As usual, there were politicians in the audience: Judge Rebecca Dallet (running for WI Supreme ct), State Rep Fred Kessler, and Tony Evers running for governor.

William Colby on CIA assets in press

https://consortiumnews.com/2016/09/16/us-media-ignores-cia-cover-up-on-torture/

The late William Colby, CIA director from 1973 to 1976, has been quoted as saying: “The CIA owns everyone of any significance in the major media.” Whether or not Colby was quoted correctly, the experience of the past several decades suggests it is largely true. Better sourced is a quote from William Casey, CIA director from 1981 to 1987: “We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”

the-legacy-of-reagans-civilian-psyops

https://consortiumnews.com/2017/10/13/the-legacy-of-reagans-civilian-psyops/

Leading mainstream media outlets and establishment-approved Web sites are now teaming up with Google, Facebook and other technology companies to develop algorithms to bury or remove content from the Internet that doesn’t march in lockstep with what is deemed to be true, which often simply follows what U.S. government agencies say is true.

Yet, the documentary evidence is now clear that the U.S. government undertook a well-defined strategy of waging psyops around the world with regular blowback of this propaganda and disinformation onto the American people via Western news agencies covering events in the affected countries.

During more recent administrations, euphemisms have been used to cloak the more pejorative phrase, “psychological operations” – such as “public diplomacy,” “strategic communications,” “perception management,” and “smart power.” But the serious push to expand this propaganda capability of the U.S. government can be traced back to the Reagan presidency.

Biphasic sleep -- "first sleep/second sleep"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biphasic_and_polyphasic_sleep

Ekirch has found that the two periods of night sleep were called "first sleep" (occasionally "dead sleep") and "second sleep" (or "morning sleep") in medieval England.

They would sleep for about four hours, wake up for two to three hours, then go back to bed for another four hours. They also took about two hours to fall asleep.

https://www.theguardian.com/small-business-network/2015/oct/09/awake-3am-entrepreneurs-biphasic-sleep-insomnia

It appears it was common for humans to go to bed two hours after dusk, wake in the middle of the night for a couple of hours to smoke, talk, pray or even have sex, then go back to sleep until morning. It wasn’t until the 19th century that people began sleeping in one block.

https://www.marksdailyapple.com/biphasic-sleep/

http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/sleep-disorders/acknowledging-preindustrial-patterns-sleep-may-revolutionize-approach-sleep-dysfunction

Within an hour or so after sunset, persons retired to bed, slept for about 4 hours and then woke up. They remained awake for a few hours and then returned to sleep at about 2 am for another 4 hours or so. Written records from before the first century onward indicate that the period between first and second sleep afforded persons a chance for quiet contemplation, but persons also rose from bed during this interval and did household chores or visited with family and friends.

• Appreciate what Muammar Gaddafi did for Libya from 1969-2011.

Lessons from Libya: How Not to Intervene

http://mrzine.monthlyreview.org/2016/allday131216.html

In September 2013, a Harvard University study stated that Gaddafi had not in fact targeted civilians or used indiscriminate force, that Islamists were indeed dominant in the ranks of rebel forces and that the intervention had not only dramatically increased the number of casualties in the conflict, but also exacerbated "human rights abuses, humanitarian suffering, Islamic radicalism, and weapons proliferation in Libya and its neighbors".

Julian Assange

Libya, more than anyone else’s war, was Hillary Clinton’s war. Barak Obama initially opposed it. Who was the person championing it? Hillary Clinton. That’s documented throughout her emails. She had put her favoured agent, Sidney Blumenthal, on to that; there’s more than 1700 emails out of the thirty three thousand Hillary Clinton emails that we’ve published, just about Libya. It’s not that Libya has cheap oil. She perceived the removal of Gaddafi and the overthrow of the Libyan state — something that she would use in her run-up to the general election for President.

Skip in 20:04: https://archives.kpfa.org/data/20171128-Tue1530.mp3 At 23:25 Strom Engineering scabs discussed.

https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/11/26/18804887.php

Eight four Henkel Aerospace IAM 1584 workers went on strike on October 16, 2017 at Henkel's Bay Point plant in California to protect their health and safety conditions at the plant that manufactures adhesives for Boeing and other airline companies. The company has prevented proper health and safety conditions which directly led to the death in 2013 of a temporary worker 26-year-old David Eleidjian who was also an ex-Marine.

Click here for mp3 audio of presentation

Speakers or Gov Office Holders

Judge Joseph Donald

Milwaukee County Circuit Court, Branch 2.

https://ballotpedia.org/Martin_Joseph_Donald

His talk: 01:40 - 16:40.

Test he took shown he (a black) is biased against blacks: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takeatest.html.

His mother carefully taught him as young child how to behave in rich white peoples homes around white adults and children his age, as she worked as a housekeeper in Patrick Cudahy's house. The freeway project forced a move as he grew up, causing a black migration - he describes the reaction of whites to new black neighbors. He thinks it can be strategic to use the word 'biased' instead of racist when appropriate. Yes there is "implicit bias".

https://urbanmilwaukee.com/people/nichole-yunk-todd/

http://www.aclu-wi.org/nichole-yunk-todd

Her talk starts 17:24, through 31:10

Topics: "automatic vs controlled thought processing"; "association tests"; "blackness associated w/fear, crime and poverty"; "sub dominate group"; "social cognition measurements", 'shooter bias': association of black face with "shooter/gun holder"; "authority/decision makers"; "critical race theory"; judging "sub dominate group" group by it's worst members, dominate group by it's best.

Remedy: Decrease social distance. Increase high quality social interactions.

Dr. Harry Oden

Starts 31:56, ends 53:18

Former basketball player - 1 of 3 blacks at Univ MN/ Duluth; 60+ but still athletic. Very 'big on public schools'. Was discriminated against in MPS after college. MPS delayed hiring, once hire he was given "bad assignments". Found his niche in MPS as teacher, and honored administrator; did much to mediate/reduce conflict among students, and between student factions, black and white. Judge a person by what is coming from their heart, not your first auto-impressions. Racism in education is as rampant as ever. Unfortunately education about profit now.

Alan W Moore

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_W._Moore

He is now focused on the Municipalist Movement. Prior to that he was involved or watching the 'squatters' in NYC.

With photo: https://about.me/alanwmoore

http://creativetime.org/summit/author/alan-w-moore/

Alan W. Moore is an art historian and activist whose work addresses cultural economies and groups and the politics of collectivity. Moore helped to found ABC No Rio after participating in Colab's Real Estate Show (1979), one of the best-known artist squat actions in New York history. He is the author of Art Gangs: Protest & Counterculture in New York City (2011), which explores the work of artist groups formed after 1968, such as the Art Workers Coalition and Group Material, collectives that greatly informed today's international art world. He is also the co-editor of the book ABC No Rio Dinero: The Story of a Lower East Side Art Gallery (1985). Moore earned a PhD in art history from the City University of New York and his writings have appeared in such publications as Julie Ault's "Alternative Art NY" and Blake Stimson and Gregory Sholette "Collectivism After Modernism."

google HANGOUTS setup for video or voice calls, sms texting

Purpose: introduce HANGOUTS for desktop or phone.

Scope: setup of HANGOUTS on laptop/desktop or phone via google's chrome browser for chats, or google video calls.

HANGOUTS features:

• Nothing to download for desktop/laptop use, runs in chrome browser: https://hangouts.google.com.
• Linux friendly - I use it w/the Fedora linux distro.
• Chat histories are saved online - forever. HANGOUTS histories saved, can restart old HANGOUT weeks later.
• Google voice incoming/outgoing calls, (SMS) texting to any phone number, google chat w/other HANGOUTS members.
• Google video calls, which allow desktop sharing (desktop-desktop or phone-phone)
• Multi-column display of sms/texting chats, easy to manage several texting sessions at a time on one screen.
• Supports group sms/texts, group video or voice calls.
• Record a HANGOUT session for youtube later or share it live.
• Invite new party to a HANGOUT via a URL.
• Can determine if a fellow hangouts member is online or active.
• Integrated w/youtube - shows youtube player for each youtube URL you type into chat.
• Call or text any phone from your desktop or laptop.
• emoji
• Drag and drop images into conversation.
• Broadcast a youtube to all in conversation.
• Integration with google docs.
• Bypass call-minutes restrictions in your call plan. Convert all calls to data; use "HANGOUTs dialer" phone app to make calls; "HANGOUTS app" to receive calls.
• Integration w/audio/phone teleconference app: https://www.uberconference.com/.
  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UberConference

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=google+HANGOUTS+features&ia=web

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Hangouts

skype comparison: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=skype+vs+hangouts&ia=web HANGOUTS is integrated w/google business apps, and youtube. Skype is less Linux friendly.

FACETIME comparison: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=facetime+vs+hangouts&ia=web facetime only runs on Apple/IOS.

First step is to create a google account.

load the HANGOUTS app on your phone

google HANGOUTS is a free phone app available for Android and IOS.

These web search may help you find the app for an Apple iphone/IOS.

In Feb 2018 this was a good link to the HANGOUTS app of your iphone.

google HANGOUTS is also available as a URL in your desktop/laptop chrome browser:

https://hangouts.google.com (be sure to bookmark this)

The HANGOUTS app icon is a green double-quotes symbol, as in: ". The phone app can do almost every thing the desktop version can. It's fun to walk around w/your phone in a video call.

install google's chrome browser on laptop or desktop

Best support on the desktop/pc for HANGOUTS is w/ the google chrome browser.

make a favorite or bookmark for https://hangouts.google.com

google undersells HANGOUTS on the desktop; so if you do not make a bookmark, and put it somewhere so you can find it your liable to forget how to start it up. Once it's up I just leave there 24/7 as one of my first pinned tabs in chrome.

sound headphones/mic hardware for laptop/desktop

For a google video or desktop/laptop audio phone call - you can get a set of ear buds with a tiny microphone for about $20. These ear bud/microphone combos work fine. They have a 3.5mm plug with 4 conductors (ground, left, right, and mic). They typically plug into your laptop (you may need a mic/earphone splitter adaptor for your PC).

Also if you buy ear buds w/mic, 'skullcandy' brand has a 2 year warranty, so save the receipt; typically they go bad after less then 2 years of moderate to heavy use, since the wires get flexed so much.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phone_connector_(audio)

sound and camera settings setup for laptop/desktop

These steps vary depending on your OS, so I leave the details to you.

To prepare for a audio or video call take some time to review how to check your

• input selection settings - so your mic is enabled
• learn how to mute your mic -- very imp for conference calls
• mic input level settings
• audio out settings so sound is going to your headphones
• enable web camera / test web camera

Muting your mic or blocking your webcam

Once the google video call is in progress, within the main window that shows the video, move your mouse to the lower center, and a mic and webcam icon should show up. These are on/off (mute) toggles.

finding people for a HANGOUT or chat; establishing access; invites

As a rule the google people finder may not find valid gmail addresses or google account names (Fname Lname for ex); do not be discouraged by this - not sure what allows accounts to be found - possibly these settings. The safest approach for a new/1st time HANGOUTS connection is either to connect through their fulling specified (ie do not expect in auto completion) email address or the phone number they gave to google.

To start a chat or a HANGOUT with a new person:

Click on '+ New Conversation', enter their email or phone number, then the default is you "invite them" and you wait until they accept - could take days. The exception is that you connect w/them right away - this happens when the your you are connected to has adjusted their settings.

• '+ New Conversation' add by:
  • EMAIL ADDRESS. Google will not auto complete the address, you must know full address.
  • PHONE NUMBER if email not known
  • this fails: invite by NAME (as in FirstName LastName ) may not work. Once they the have accepted however 'FirstName LastName' is they way you add them into a conversation - yes it is confusing. See making yourself easy to connect to.

If you do not connect right away, but the "invite goes through", and you have to wait for their response, you should take the time to make a note of the FIRSTNAME LASTNAME that is displayed in the banner line of the window within which the invite is made.

Once they accept, they will show up in your hangouts list as "FIRSTNAME LASTNAME" which may or may not be consistent with their email; so it's best to "take notes" of the respective email / "FIRSTNAME LASTNAME" values.

It seems accounts may be visible in a HANGOUT you're part of, but "unfindable". Last night I was in a HANGOUT and I carefully copied two names of people listed in the hangout (one a gmail address, the other a FIRSTNAME LASTNAME) , I was unable to 'find' those people searching by FIRSTNAME LASTNAME via:

https://plus.google.com/people

after the hangout was closed.

How to share out your desktop in a video call

In the initial chat window from which you started the call, ie the one that has avatars of the participants in the call:

• Click on the avatar that represents the person you want to share out your desktop to ... A window should pop up, showing this person's webcam/video view.

• Ensure that this window is not full screen. Suggest you resize it so it takes up about 25% of your screen area. If it is full screen size you may end up with 'video feedback'.

• Move your mouse to upper right of this window, then there should be a vertical column of three dots -- click on those 'three dots' and follow the prompt to "Share screen".

My goal was to find websites, mailing lists, IRC channels, or meetup groups; ie find the free/open community of users that uses Nationbuilder. After about 45 min I punt, at least for now - Tue 23 Jan 2018. It appears to be a "somewhat closed" disjointed set of users -- perhaps they mostly pay consultants to setup their Nationbuilder sites?

Pretty straightforward, just go to https://accounts.google.com. In the normal case a gmail address is created for you as part of the process.

In Jan 2018, they still allow dormant accounts to persist for years. I find this a plus.

new google account without gmail address

You make a new google account w/o creating a gmail email, but you still have to register a new google account -- using your non google email address in the process. Watch carefully, early on they give you the option of using a non gmail email address.

Feb 2018/ongoing, Russiagate; reactions to Nunes Memo; to Mueller indictment

Trying to collect thoughtful/in depth viewpoints on both sides. Undoubtably propaganda on both sides; I'm not pro Trump, nor am I a Russiaphobe.

This is an on going collection of articles - new ones will be prepended.

https://consortiumnews.com/2018/05/18/making-excuses-for-russiagate/

He (Putin) was merely at a table at which Putin happened to sit down for “maybe five minutes, maybe twenty, tops,” according to Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein who was just a few chairs away. No words were exchanged, Stein says, and “[n]obody introduced anybody to anybody. There was no translator. The Russians spoke Russian. The four people who spoke English spoke English.”

Stephen F Cohen on origins of Russiagate: Started by Brennan/CIA in 2015, later hands off to Clapper/FBI.

Russiagate or Intelgate? by Cohen 2/7/2018

Down to earth, audio interview of Cohen audio part 1 part 2

Steele's dossier... was the foundational document of the Russiagate narrative...from the time its installments began to be leaked to the American media in the summer of 2016, to the US ‘Intelligence Community Assessment' of January 2017....the dossier and subsequent ICA report remain the underlying sources for proponents of the Russiagate narrative of “Trump-Putin collision.

....when, and by whom, was this Intel operation against Trump started?

In testimony to the House Intelligence Committee in May 2017, John Brennan, formerly Obama's head of the CIA, strongly suggested that he and his agency were the first, as The Washington Post put it at the time, ‘in triggering an FBI probe.' Certainly both the Post and The New York Times interpreted his remarks in this way. Equally certain, Brennan played a central role in promoting the Russiagate narrative thereafter, briefing members of Congress privately and giving President Obama himself a top-secret envelope in early August 2016 that almost certainly contained Steele's dossier. Early on, Brennan presumably would have shared his ‘suspicions' and initiatives with James Clapper, director of national intelligence. FBI Director Comey... may have joined them actively somewhat later....

When did Brennan begin his ‘investigation' of Trump? His House testimony leaves this somewhat unclear, but, according to a subsequent Guardian article, by late 2015 or early 2016 he was receiving, or soliciting, reports from foreign intelligence agencies regarding ‘suspicious “interactions” between figures connected to Trump and known or suspected Russian agents.' In short, if these reports and Brennan's own testimony are to be believed, he, not the FBI, was the instigator and godfather of Russiagate.

By Mike whitney on 2/14: http://www.eurasiareview.com/14022018-is-john-brennan-the-mastermind-behind-russiagate-oped/

we don't really know the extent to which the dossier was used in the creation of the Intelligence Community Assessment. (The ICA was the IC's flagship analysis that was supposed to provide ironclad proof of Russian meddling in the 2016 elections.) According to some reports, the contribution was significant. Check out this excerpt from an article at Business Insider:

Intelligence officials purposefully omitted the dossier from the public intelligence report they released in January about Russia's election interference because they didn't want to reveal which details they had corroborated, according to CNN.

Bottom line: Despite the denials of former-CIA Director John Brennan, the dossier may have been used in the ICA.

Regular readers of this column know that we have always believed that the Russiagate psyops originated with Brennan. Just as the CIA launched its disinformation campaigns against Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gadhafi, so too, Russia has emerged as Washington's foremost rival requiring a massive propaganda campaign to persuade the public that America faces a serious external threat. In any event, the demonizing of Russia had already begun by the time Hillary and Co. decided to hop on the bandwagon by blaming Moscow for hacking John Podesta's emails. The allegations were never persuasive, but they did provide Brennan with some cover for the massive Information Operation (IO) that began with him

It all started with Brennan. After Putin blocked Brennan's operations in both Ukraine and Syria, Brennan had every reason to retaliate and to use the tools at his disposal to demonize Putin and try to isolate Russia. The “election meddling” charges (promoted by the Hillary people) fit perfectly with Brennan's overall strategy to manipulate perceptions and prepare the country for an eventual confrontation. It provided him the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, to deliver a withering blow to Putin and Trump at the very same time. The temptation must have been irresistible.

Ray McGovern. : https://consortiumnews.com/2018/02/19/nunes-fbi-and-doj-perps-could-be-put-on-trial/

One glaring sign of the media’s unwillingness to displease corporate masters and Official Washington is the harsh reality that Hersh’s most recent explosive investigations, using his large array of government sources to explore front-burner issues, have not been able to find a home in any English-speaking newspaper or journal.

Nunes covered a number of other significant issues:     The committee is closing down its investigation into possible     collusion between Moscow and the Trump campaign; no evidence of     collusion was found.     The apparently widespread practice of “unmasking” the     identities of Americans under surveillance. On this point, Nunes     said, “In the last administration they were unmasking hundreds,     and hundreds, and hundreds of Americans’ names. They were     unmasking for what I would say, for lack of a better definition,     were for political purposes.”

I'm weary of Larouchepac, but I think this article is worth vetting/reading: https://larouchepac.com/20180219/robert-mueller-indicts-some-russian-trolls-indictment-scams-american-people

The U.S. has no extradition treaty with Russia, and the Russian Constitution bars extradition of Russian citizens.

Russiagate's initial narrative, that Russians hacked the DNC and John Podesta's email accounts to damage the Clinton campaign and elect Trump, has been discredited by the work of the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. William Binney, a former technical director of the NSA, states that if such Russian hacking occurred, the NSA would have the evidence of it and would have found a way to produce it. The VIPS also conducted a scientific experiment demonstrating that the source of the WikiLeaks DNC emails was a leak, not a hack.

The United States has intervened in elections all over the world, repeatedly, and, as James Woolsey recently said on Fox News, for the "good of those nations." When someone is elected who we don't like, like Viktor Yanukovych in Ukraine, we simply launch a coup using such native assets as neo-Nazi shock troops (Ukraine) or Al-Qaeda and other Islamic terrorists (Syria).

At the beginning of 2014, an anti-Russian group of hackers, initially called "The Anonymous International," and later, "Shaltay-Boltay" claimed that the building at St. Petersburg, Savushkina 55, housed a troll farm run by the Kremlin. Since then, this building has been photographed and highlighted endlessly by MI6, all of the British press and tabloids, the CIA, the FBI, NATO, the BBC, the State Department's propaganda departments and NGOs, CNN and most of the rest of the mainstream American media. Infiltration operations have been run and publicized by the same people. Actions against the alleged IRA have been filed by infiltrators in the Russian courts. Any intelligent observer would ask the first obvious question: Why, if this building and the alleged company occupying it has been so repeatedly targeted by Western intelligence, would Putin be stupid enough to run an influence operation from that location targeting the 2016 elections? The answer should be obvious; he did not.

The St. Petersburg social media troll farm, at the center of Mueller's indictment, has been a staple, endlessly photographed, infiltrated, and written about by Western Information Warriors from 2014 forward.

A huge and well-funded anti-Putin "information warfare" industry now operates in Washington, D.C., featuring the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, where none other than Dmitri Alperovitch (author of the "Russia hacked the DNC" hoax) is a fellow; the Alliance for the Defense of Democracy; the German Marshall Fund; the Information Warfare Initiative of the Washington-based Center for European Policy Analysis; the National Endowment for Democracy; and the State Department's propaganda arms, Radio Free Liberty and Radio Free Europe. Generous funding has been provided by the likes of Khodorkovsky and George Soros. As the result of the National Defense Authorization Act, signed by Obama in 2016, millions of dollars are now flowing into this U.S. information warfare initiative.

To understand next quote the Russian Federal Security Service has the acronym FSB.

According to the Saker blog's Russian account of the IRA, the company itself does not exist. It is a fiction created by Shaltay-Boltay, the successor to "Anonymous International" in conjunction with Western intelligence agencies. Shaltay-Boltay, Russian for "Humpty-Dumpty," conducted a systematic campaign of hacking, leaking, and extortion against Russian officials, according to accounts of its own activities published in the Guardian. Members of Shaltay-Boltay were arrested in November 2016 together with rogue Russian FSB officers said to control their activities. All were charged with treason by the Russian government, specifically some form of collaboration with the CIA.

According to a November 2017, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty article, the FSB "cyber" division where the arrested officers worked had been in collaboration with U.S. law enforcement agencies for years.

The Revolutionary Distemper in Syria That Wasn’t by Stephen Gowans 10/2016

Economic Motive for America’s Current Wars by Eric Zuesse

http://handsoffsyria.blogspot.com/2018/02/syrian-war-for-dummies-three-versions.html

https://medium.com/@caityjohnstone/the-us-empire-has-been-trying-to-regime-change-syria-since-long-before-2011-40d4e6648d54

https://www.rt.com/op-ed/157412-syria-hidden-massacre-2011/

What we do know for certain is that on April 25, 2011, nineteen Syrian soldiers were gunned down in Daraa by unknown assailants. The names, ages, dates of birth and death, place of birth and death and marital/parental status of these 19 soldiers are documented in a list of military casualties obtained from Syria’s Defense Ministry.

The list was corroborated by another document – given to me by a non-government acquaintance involved in peace efforts – that details 2011 security casualties. All 19 names were verified by this second list.

April 10 was also the day when we learned of the first massacre of Syrian soldiers – in Banyas, Tartous – when nine troops were ambushed and gunned down on a passing bus.

Ashton disclosed suspicions that pro-west snipers had killed both Ukranian security forces and civilians during the Euromaidan protests.

Says Paet: “All the evidence shows that people who were killed by snipers from both sides, among policemen and people from the streets, that they were the same snipers killing people from both sides...and it's really disturbing that now the new (pro-western) coalition, they don't want to investigate what exactly happened.”

A recent German TV investigation the sniper shootings confirms much about these allegations, and has opened the door to contesting versions of events in Ukraine that did not exist for most of the Syrian conflict --

Since early 2011 alone, we have heard allegations of “unknown” snipers targeting crowds and security forces in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria and Ukraine. What could be more effective at turning populations against authority than the unprovoked killing of unarmed innocents? By the same token, what could better ensure a reaction from the security forces of any nation than the gunning down of one or more of their own?

2011

In early 2011, U.S./UK special forces used Jordan’s military base to organize protests against Assad in a border town called Daraa. With Muslim Brotherhood’s organizational skills and Saudi Arabia’s deep pockets, the protests spread thru Syria. Soon, an organized and armed militia known as Free Syrian Army (FSA) was created by the outsiders.

http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_globalupraising06.htm

The demonstrations started in Daraa, a small border town of 75,000 inhabitants, on the Syrian Jordanian border, rather than in Damascus or Aleppo, where the mainstay of organized political opposition and social movements are located. (Daraa is a small border town comparable e.g. to Plattsburgh, NY on the US-Canadian border).

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/48152.htm

Here are the simple facts: Libya and Syria were a tad bit too independent and successful, and thus have been targeted by globalists for a long time. Ukraine, which borders Russia, is a treasured piece on the geopolitical chessboard – get Ukraine and Crimea, you weaken Russia immensely.

The fundamental ploy in Libya, Syria and Ukraine was the same: rile up the population and then stage a coup in the midst of chaos, while claiming to liberate the people.

In "Water In Plain Sight: Hope for a Thirsty World", she shows how appreciating the way water moves across the landscape offers new routes to water security, with implications for climate change, biodiversity, poverty and conflict.

Tribalism is best understood in terms of the creation of teams through the dehumanization of an ‘other.’ Tribalism is mentally categorizing someone who is somehow different (however shallow that difference may be) and turning their value into less than that of your team or “community.”

Calm Cloudy Winter Days over Entire Continents

Mar 2018 interview of Dr Ken Caldeira of Carnegie Institution for Science: https://www.ecoshock.net/downloads/ES_180314_LoFi.mp3

Skip in 4 min 40 sec discussion of continental wide "troublesome weather".

Other key parts of the interview:

From the journal Energy & Environmental Science is the paper: Geophysical constraints on the reliability of solar and wind power in the United States

We analyze 36 years of global, hourly weather data (1980–2015) to quantify the covariability of solar and wind resources as a function of time and location, over multi-decadal time scales and up to continental length scales. Assuming minimal excess generation, lossless transmission, and no other generation sources, the analysis indicates that wind-heavy or solar-heavy U.S.-scale power generation portfolios could in principle provide ∼80% of recent total annual U.S. electricity demand. However, to reliably meet 100% of total annual electricity demand, seasonal cycles and unpredictable weather events require several weeks’ worth of energy storage and/or the installation of much more capacity of solar and wind power than is routinely necessary to meet peak demand.

Per Caldeira batteries need to come down in cost by a factor of 100 before we could afford "several weeks’ worth of energy storage".

Voter Activation Network software

http://wiki.wellstone.org/Voter+Activation+Network

The Voter Activation Network (VAN) is proprietary voter file management software for Democratic or progressive identified organizations and campaigns owned by NGP VAN. An enterprise software built specifically for campaigns, it has supported the efforts of Barack Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaigns, as well as Hillary Clinton's 2016 race.

Unique to VAN is their data enrichment mechanism - when campaigns identify wrong numbers, deceased voters, bad addresses, etc,... it updates the voter file of other Democratic campaigns as well.

William F Pepper intro

https://consortiumnews.com/2018/04/10/the-washington-posts-breakthrough-on-the-mlk-murder/

The bold, top-of-the-front-page treatment on April 2 of reporter Tom Jackman's in-depth piece ---“The Past Rediscovered: Who killed Martin Luther King Jr.?”  --- represents a major turning point in the treatment of the case for the past five decades by mainstream media. Print, broadcast and all too many film makers and academics have consistently soft-pedaled ballistic, eye-witness and other evidence that undermines the official story of King's death.

... “Conspiracy Theories” is a smear. It's used by reporters and academics to discredit alternative researchers ever since the CIA secretly distributed to its operatives in April 1967 the now-declassified “CIA Dispatch 1035-960.” The 53-page CIA memo urged agency personnel to persuade their establishment contacts to use the term “conspiracy theorist” to undermine critics of the 1964 Warren Report on the JFK assassination, thereby helping to discredit New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison's grand jury investigation of a fatal plot alleged to include CIA personnel scheming against the president.

Authorities have long pinned all blame for King's murder on the ill-educated petty thief James Earl Ray, who was supposedly motivated by racism. The evidence Pepper uncovered shows that Ray's movements were manipulated by a handler so that he would be at the scene when a professional team undertook the hit.

Assad rejects Qatari natural gas pipeline in 2009

https://www.counterpunch.org/2016/09/15/assads-death-warrant/

trying to overthrow a democratically-elected secular regime that refuses to bow to Washington’s demands to provide access to pipeline corridors that will further strengthen US dominance in the region. That’s what’s really going on behind the ISIS distraction and the “Assad is a brutal dictator” distraction and the “war-weary civilians in Aleppo” distraction. Washington doesn’t care about any of those things. What Washington cares about is oil, power and money. How can anyone be confused about that by now? Kennedy (RF Jr) summed it up like this:

We must recognize the Syrian conflict is a war over control of resources indistinguishable from the myriad clandestine and undeclared oil wars we have been fighting in the Mid-East for 65 years. And only when we see this conflict as a proxy war over a pipeline do events become comprehensible.

Robert F Kennedy Jr, 2/2016: https://www.politico.eu/article/why-the-arabs-dont-want-us-in-syria-mideast-conflict-oil-intervention/

Secret cables and reports by the U.S., Saudi and Israeli intelligence agencies indicate that the moment Assad rejected the Qatari pipeline, military and intelligence planners quickly arrived at the consensus that fomenting a Sunni uprising in Syria to overthrow the uncooperative Bashar Assad was a feasible path to achieving the shared objective of completing the Qatar/Turkey gas link. In 2009, according to WikiLeaks, soon after Bashar Assad rejected the Qatar pipeline, the CIA began funding opposition groups in Syria.

Danny Haiphong intro

Very young reporter.

https://dissidentvoice.org/2013/11/social-work-under-us-capitalist-empire/

I am a graduate of Skidmore College. I majored in social work. I chose to major in social work because there was little else offered that I could relate to personally and politically. Most courses and majors prepared students ideologically and professionally to manage the affairs of US imperialism. By the time I had to declare a major, I was more interested in plotting and planning how to destroy this system rather then learning how to manage its affairs. It did not take very long in the social work program for me to realize social work’s historical and political function within the US imperialist system.

Rank Choice Voting and alternatives

https://whowhatwhy.org/2018/05/29/dont-throw-away-your-vote-ranked-choice-elections-gather-momentum/

ranked-choice voting can also save cities money by doing away with costly primary and runoff elections. Bringing people to the polls two, if not three, times in a given election cycle draws heavily on taxpayer dollars, and few people show up three times. Ranked-choice voting can consolidate the whole process into a single vote, lowering the cost of running elections. --snip Ranked choice could also serve as the basis for “instant runoff” elections, consolidating the primary and runoff process into a single ballot.
