Waiting for disaster

There will never again be a unified America so long as Congress does not take out its trash and do its job right.

We don’t need all this intelligence bureaucracy if there is transparency in government and government and its contractors live by the same rules, laws and policies as citizens.

Congress had better get it done before the credit bubble crashes, unless their purpose is another civil war. And that includes ending the ability to create money and credit out of thin air. What family doesn’t have to manage their budget? Their banker and lawyer buddies could shut it down if Congress doesn’t get a budget done on time. “It” is the credit bubble, not just the government.

How is Congress going to get the country out from under this banking extortion and government corruption? So long as the political establishment in Washington, D.C. including Congress, the representatives of the people, live by different rules than the people who employ them, there will be division in America. That division will last until all of them are replaced.

Our Speakers of the House all go down in flames. Let’s start with that. But there is also the sordid history of the Clintons, and more. Take this example of corruption: Dennis Hastert “is the longest-serving Republican Speaker of the House in history.”

“In May 2015, Hastert was indicted on federal charges of structuring bank withdrawals to evade bank reporting requirements and making false statements to federal investigators.[4][5] Federal prosecutors said that the money was to compensate for and conceal deliberately-unspecified misconduct by Hastert against an unnamed individual years earlier.[6][7][8][9][10] Soon afterward, public accusations emerged that Hastert had sexually abused three male students (including the aforementioned unnamed individual) when he was a teacher more than three decades earlier.[11][12][13][14][15][16]”

“In October 2015, Hastert entered into a plea agreement with prosecutors. Under the agreement, Hastert pleaded guilty to the “structuring” charge (a felony), and the charge of making false statements was dropped.[17] In court submissions on sentencing considerations filed in April 2016, federal prosecutors made allegations of sexual misconduct against Hastert, saying that he had molested at least four boys as young as 14 while he worked as a high school wrestling coach decades earlier.[18] At the sentencing hearing later that month, Hastert admitted that he had sexually abused boys whom he coached.[19] The judge in the case referred to Hastert as a “serial child molester” and imposed a sentence of fifteen months in prison, two years’ supervised release, and a $250,000 fine.[20][3] He entered the Federal Medical Center prison in Rochester, Minnesota on June 22, 2016.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Hastert

Perguntas a fazer sobre a Palestina (ou qualquer país) feição da soberania

Excellent. You could have stopped the bullet list at “When was it founded and by whom?” and “What were its borders?” It’s a great piece but perhaps there is a bit too much at once, so it feels a bit too much of the eye for an eye. But does it get us to peace? I wonder. Every one of your sentences could be another paragraph or a separate blog post. Try to get MEMRI to post it.

Waiting for control

You have to imagine
a waiting that is not impatient
because it is timeless.

Or, when software is installed, will you be in control?

The end of EPA’s regulation of CO2

PETITION FOR RULEMAKING ON THE ISSUE OF GREENHOUSE GASES AND PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE

“Petitioners Competitive Enterprise Institute, the Science and Environmental Policy Project, and four individual members of the latter’s Board of Directors hereby petition EPA to initiate a rulemaking proceeding on the subject of greenhouse gases and their impact on public health and welfare.”

“EPA addressed this matter in 2009 in its “Endangerment Finding.” EPA, Final Rule, Endangerment and Cause or Contribute Findings for Greenhouse Gases Under Section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act, 74 FR 66,496 (Dec. 15, 2009). However, as explained below, since that finding was issued, evidence has continued to mount that directly contradicts it. For these reasons, we request that EPA commence a new proceeding on this matter.”

Defiance for science?

“A total of seven shots were fired into our National Space Science and Technology Center (NSSTC) building here at UAH over the weekend.”
 
“All bullets hit the 4th floor, which is where John Christy’s office is (my office is in another part of the building).”
 
“Given that this was Earth Day weekend, with a March for Science passing right past our building on Saturday afternoon, I think this is more than coincidence.”…”Local news reports that UAH police have classified this as a “random shooting”. So, the seven Belgian 5.7 millimeter bullets which hit windows and bricks around John Christy’s office from 70 yards away were apparently deemed to be “random” occurrence. (Despite my personal defense training, I probably would have struggled to get that tight a “random” cluster with a semi-automatic pistol.) Nothing to see here, move along.”

How to think about Putin

“Let me stress at the outset that this is not going to be a talk about what to think about Putin, which is something you are all capable of making up your minds on, but rather how to think about him. And on this, there is one basic truth to remember, although it is often forgotten. Our globalist leaders may have deprecated sovereignty since the end of the Cold War, but that does not mean it has ceased for an instant to be the primary subject of politics.”
