You Watch Podesta Will Be Indicted and Soon. Updated 11/1/17 and on 11/2/17. And again on 11/2

I think you will see Podesta getting arrested. Lets look at some simple facts. The Trump dossier did NOT accuse Trump of a crime. Here is another link to the actual document. Buzzfeed - "Trump Dossier". What the dossier claimed was that Trump paid hookers to piss on a bed, the Russians had a secret tape of it and could use it to blackmail him. It also claimed that when Trump was in Russia, they would get him hookers. In fact, the dossier said that even though the Russians offered Trump good real estate deals, he didn't take them and for your information he has no hotels in Russia.

This document had been passed around from media people and intelligence people by Fusion GPS and Steele, the author. After Trump was elected before taking office, he and Obama were briefed on it. Obama did not claim that Trump had broken any law and nobody could confirm that the claims made in it were true; but, if they were Trump would not be guilty a crime. In fact, hiring a prostitute is not illegal in Russia. It is actually legal all over Europe. The document did make claims of illegal activities on the part of Russians; but, did not claim he worked with them to hack the DNC, that is not in the report. Now here is where it gets interesting. The report was used to get a FISA court to issue a wiretapping order on Trump's associates to make sure that they were not being used to manipulate Trump for the Russians. Many were tapped and our intelligence agencies did not find anything showing collusion between Trump and Russia even though President Obama said he wanted a report by them by the time Trump was sworn in (people forget that little detail).

Mueller was given the job as special counsel to investigate Russia's attempts to influence the election. Here is the actual authority. Justice Department - Appointment of Special Counsel. The title of the document is, "Appointment of Special Counsel to investigate Russian interference with the 2016 Presidential Election and Related Matters." Now remember the claims that started all this and were used to get the Wiretaps was that some of Trump's people might be working for the Russians to influence Trump. While the corporate media does not portray it that way, read the documents for yourself.

I hate re-hashing all these things that I have written about before; but, for those who do not follow this blog regularly, I wanted to save them some time. Now, here is where the real fun begins and they don't see it coming. You are going to see the Podestas indicted by Mueller. The media will say that they should be pardoned and Trump will say he cannot, that they must face the same legal system as Manafort and Gates. When this happens it is going to blow people's minds, especially in the Clinton campaign. Now let me explain how I know this.

Mueller indicted Manafort and Gates for tax evasion from years ago. More importantly he talked about how Manafort skirted the law regarding registering as a foreign agent when he was working for the Ukranian government. Here is the actual indictment. Manafort Gates Indictment. One of the companies listed in the indictment is the Podesta Group. This is fascinating as the same day the indictment went down for Manafort, Tony Podesta resigned from his own company. Timing is everything kids.

Lets dig a little deeper, you are going to like this. On Tuesday, the day after the indictments were released, the General Counsel for Perkins-Coie (the law firm that hired Fusion GPS, the people that paid Steele and Russians for dirt on Trump, for the DNC and Hillary) issued the following letter to
the attorney for Fusion GPS. Perkins Coie Letter. The letter made it clear that Perkins-Coie did not represent Fusion GPS and was not under an obligation to them while retaining the right to not say who had hired Perkins Coie or paid them to hire Fusion GPS. Someone from the DNC and Hillary's campaign $9 million for the Trump dossier, someone had to approve those checks. Podesta was in charge of Hillary's campaign, you think he might have approved those payments?

It gets more amusing the longer it goes on. The Washington Post - Mueller got Manafort’s attorney to speak against him once. He may try the tactic again. The article claims that Mueller is not above forcing attorney's to testify to grand juries about their cliens. Now go back and read that Perkins Coie letter again and you'll see what I am saying. The indictment of Manafort said, "the last two counts of the indictment say that Manafort and Gates “knowingly and willfully caused to be made a false statement’’ in a government filing required under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA." The Podesta's also failed to file as foreign agents when working for the Ukranian government along with Manafort. Politico - Podesta Group files new disclosures in Manafort-linked Ukraine lobbying. Yep, Mueller has to indict Podesta and will. Mueller cannot claim that he is unaware that Podesta failed to file the exact same documents Manafort failed to file

UPDATE:

I just watched Trevor Noah interview Hillary Clinton. Nice to see the media still shilling for her.

YouTube - Hillary Clinton's FULL INTERVIEW with Trevor Noah.  

It made me want to puke. I think I have exposed my bias enough times, I detest the Bushes and Clintons insincerity, dishonesty and disrespect for democracy and the people of this country and their easy willingness to kill people in other countries. Now, I could rip apart everything she said; but, that would be getting trapped in the minutia and meaningless. Here is what is important. I would like to go over what makes Trevor Noah's piece pure propaganda and deconstruct how the interview was set up, prearranged and intended to manipulate you; but, I am going to discuss why they are trying to manipulate you.

At 3:35 in the video Trevor begins helping Hillary defend having paid $9 million for the Pee Pee Dossier which Noah says people are calling "The Clinton Dossier". Nobody calls it the Clinton Dossier, it only just came out that she hired the company and paid for it. Be honest, do you or anyone you know call it "The Clinton Dossier"? Noah begins this part by setting a straw man, by manipulating the truth so that it becomes a lie. The next thing he asks is if there is a difference between her paying foreign nationals, Russians, for dirt on him and him getting information from Russians. Not surprisingly, her answer is that there is a big difference. Now here is what is really interesting. She goes into the history of how she ended up funding the report and does not deny having paid for it or approved the payments. At the same time, she doesn't admit having known about it. Her talking point regarding her attorneys at Perkins-Coie is identical to the letter that Perkins-Coie issued in the post above. The whole purpose of this interview was to prepare for the coming indictments I talked about above.

Clinton's attorneys made it clear, they will burn anyone to protect Hillary. They made it clear they will testify against Fusion GPS to protect Hillary. When I originally wrote the first part of this post, I did not see this coming. I didn't see Hillary coming out. She is basically saying to Fusion GPS that if they say how this all went down, she will burn them.

When the election began just as I retired I thought it was going to be great to watch the show and it was; but, in my wildest dreams I never thought it would get this far. Hillary is actually scared of what is coming. It may turn out the Clintons were doing what Manafort did that got him indicted. Mueller is going to follow the money, he made that clear.

UPDATE 2:

After watching the Hillary Clinton interview, there are questions I would ask her as an investigator. The first question is did she know about the payments to Fusion GPS for the dossier? She claimed in the interview that they didn't use the information in it. That presumes that she made a decision on the information, that it was unverifiable. Hmm, then she knew about the payments for it. The second question is if she knew the information had no value, why did she pay out $9 million for the report? The final question is the real question. Why didn't Hillary come out and say that the DNC and her campaign had paid the report and that they didn't use it because it was garbage and unverifiable? Why didn't they say that a year ago?

Here is what I want you to notice, the report was published right after the election was accepted by congress; but, it had been floating around for months. Was Fusion GPS still getting paid after the election? That is a big question, were they being paid to shop that dossier around Washington by Hillary and the DNC or others? Based on the Perkins Coie letter, Fusion can say everyone who paid them and when. Perkins Coie is not a legal firm, there is no attorney client privilege that they are held.

Here are some other questions. Did she tell President Obama that she had paid for the pee pee gate dossier? Remember, Obama and Trump were both briefed on the dossier prior to Trump being sworn in. If Hillary told Obama that she had paid for it's creation, did he tell Trump? If she did not tell Obama, what would that say about her? So many beautiful questions. The Noah interview was a dumb idea and a public relations stunt; but, it was a dangerous one and she failed it. Believe me, Mueller cannot avoid asking these questions or he will prove himself to not being subjective.

How does Perkins Coie allow Hillary to say that she didn't know about the payments for the dossier before they were made? Does she say that Perkins Coie made the payments without her approval? I don't think so and they would have to prove they followed their Professional Responsibility. The moment Hillary takes the fifth before congress, this game is over and she loses.

If Hillary is indicted the media will say Trump should pardon her. He will say he cannot because he cannot pardon anyone who colluded with foreign nationals to effect the election. The smart move would be to let her spend a week or two in jail and then pardon her to show mercy even after all she has done. This story is not going where people think it is, it is going the way I am telling you and that is really bizarre.

Trump is the mirror President, he is a mirror to all the wrong we do. He exposes the hypocrisy of the left ant the right. Trump himself only wishes to be adored, money is not enough, fame is not enough, power is not enough, he seeks your adoration and he will get it from more and more and more, you just don't see it coming.

Hillary is dirty, she is crooked, that will be proven in court. As for Trump, I am more and more convinced that there is more that is seen by the eye here. Nobody is that smart or that lucky to have his opponents fall on the swords they attack him with every time. Pimpernel is not just a genius, my IQ is over 155. I spent over half my life in the political arena and I was damn good at it. Some of my readers know this. I wrote speeches for politicians and government officials. I dealt with them behind closed doors where the real action takes place. I out maneuvered them on more than one occasion. This ain't right.

Trump outmaneuvered 16 senators, congressmen and governors to get the nomination while the media incessantly ridiculed him and said he could not win. Trump beat the women called the most qualified in history. There is more than planning going on here, there is a type of good fortune only seen in the bible. Nobody is this lucky or this smart. People are exposing themselves to their own hypocrisy and everyone sees it.

I have never seen anything like this in my life and I have studied politics and government since I was 4 frickin years old and my brother and sister know this as do others. I studied this game, I lived this game and I taught this game. I have never seen anything go down like this or even heard of it. It is much easier for me to tell you what is coming in 10 years than it is to tell you what tomorrow may bring. My talk about tech is all about in a few years, just giving people a heads up. I am so much into today that I cannot see tomorrow as well. I cant tell you if it is going to rain or not; but, I see trends and patterns real well. The stuff about Hillary, that is about seeing a pattern and legal training.

How is it that everyone that goes after Trump ends up hurting themselves in the long run?

UPDATE 3:

Seems Donna Brazile, the ex head of the DNC, is busy protecting herself and burning Hillary and Debbie Wasserman Shultz. In an article Brazile claimed that, "The agreement—signed by Amy Dacey, the former CEO of the DNC, and Robby Mook with a copy to Marc Elias—specified that in exchange for raising money and investing in the DNC, Hillary would control the party’s finances, strategy, and all the money raised. Her campaign had the right of refusal of who would be the party communications director, and it would make final decisions on all the other staff. The DNC also was required to consult with the campaign about all other staffing, budgeting, data, analytics, and mailings."

Let me tell you why this is important and explain the timing. Brazile claims that Hillary controlled the finances of the DNC. What Brazile is basically saying is that the DNC payments to Fusion GPS were approved by Hillary and not by her. While most people want to focus on the part where Brazile says the primary was rigged to benefit Hillary at Sanders expense, that was unethical but probably not illegal. By the way, Marc Elias, one of the people that got a copy of the agreement, worked for Perkins-Coie and sat next to Podesta in a congressional hearing while Podesta claimed no knowledge of the agreement between Fusion GPS and the Clinton campaign. That is called perjury. This is only going to get weirder.

My Two Novels (stories) and a Relative

I received a comment from a relative on this blog's last post. Turns out that the stories I wrote are in the possession of a relative. I didn't know that, I thought I had them. I responded to the comment using the email provided (and no I am not going to post the comment as this blog is anonymous and always has been). I received no response so I must assume I did not get the email address correctly or mistyped it in my email back. I would hope that if I do not meet up with my relative that they would send my stories to my cousin in the Palm Springs area so that it can be sent back to me. Upon receipt, I will scan and print the stories for my readers. I don't know how long it will take.

Mueller Investigation and Indictments

The corporate media is praying for Monday to bring an indictment against people who were associated with Trump and that the indictment will show Russia collusion with the Trump campaign. I'm going to tell you why this will not happen.

Let us presume that Trump paid Russian hookers to piss on a bed that Obama had slept in. Guess what, that would not be a crime. Let us assume that Trump had sex with Vladimir Putin, told him he loved him and Putin said he would give $7,000 for Facebook ads calling out Hillary Clinton. That would not be a crime either. Mueller can only seek indictments for legal crimes, not ethical questions. Unless Mueller can prove that someone in the Trump administration paid to have the DNC server hacked, there is no crime related to Russia. That is not going to happen.

Monday we will be told who is being indicted and for what. If someone gets indicted for tax evasion or anything not related to Russia and Trump doing something illegal then we have to ask ourselves a simple question. Why do we need a special prosecutor and why has that prosecutor wasted so much money to go after tax evaders, isn't that what the IRS is for?

The corporate media is claiming that Mueller can look into anything; but, the reality is that he can only indict for crimes. That is what prosecutors do. Prosecutors are not moral arbitrators. Lets say that Donald Trump Jr. and Kushner met with a Russian who actually had dirt on Hillary, guess what, not a crime. Talking to Russians is not a crime. Receiving information about an opponent is not a crime. I hate to say it but the DNC and Hillary paying $9 million to a retired British agent to get dirt on Trump is not a crime either.

The question for Monday will be simple. What CRIMES is Mueller investigating? Collusion is the act of working together, it is only illegal when it is a criminal conspiracy which means there must be a crime. Firing Comey is not a crime because Comey said that he was not investigating Trump and he said it to Trump, he admitted that.

The corporate media has gotten way ahead of itself on this and most people don't understand the law so the media joyously spins theories; but, they can't make something a crime that is not. The one person who could be prosecuted for a crime is the Podestas as they failed to register as working for foreign companies; but, I don't think that will happen. If it does, if Mueller actually got an indictment for that crime both Republicans and Democrats will flip out and you will see the Democrats call for Mueller's removal; but, Trump will be able to say that he doesn't think the special prosecutor should be removed for doing his job no matter where the chips fall. Stay tuned.

UPDATE:

There is something I forgot to mention. The famous Trump "dossier" that was prepared for Hillary and the DNC doesn't claim Trump committed any crimes. Somehow this is forgotten by people. What it claims is that Trump did not have any business deals in Russia, that Trump paid hookers to pee on a bed that the Obama's slept in at a hotel in Russia and that Russia had sexual dirt on Trump. Trump is not accused of a crime in the dossier. It does claim that Russia has been supplying him with information for six years; but, again that is not a crime. The point is even if we were to assume that the dossier was correct, it does not support any criminal charges against Trump.

UPDATE 2:

And we are given nothing. Paul Manafort is charged with tax fraud and hiding money overseas. Both things which occurred years ago and have nothing to do with Trump. What a shock. Here is the actual indictment.

SCRIBD - Manafort - Gates Indictment.

Of particular note, the indictment claims that Manafort lied to his tax preparer and his attorney. You are probably wondering why. Mueller did not want to charge the tax preparer or his attorney as that would look even worse.

Russia, Clinton, Whitefish and Puerto Rico

After it came out that Clinton paid a foreign agent (Steele through Fusion GPS) to make up dirt on Trump (see previous post), the corporate media decided to turn their attention elsewhere. The new "big story" is about a company called Whitefish that has been hired to assist in rebuilding Puerto Rico's electrical grid. While a complete rebuild is believed to cost over $20 billion, Whitefish is only getting $300 million. This means that there will be more contracts down the road for lots more money.

The contract is between Puerto Rico and Whitefish and does not involve the United States government. It is basically a time and materials contract. The most pertinent aspect of the contract is that it provides that Whitefish will receive NO payments until after services have been rendered. Claims that they will get $300 million and not have to prove they did anything is a bald faced lie. In addition, the hourly cost for services is layed out in great detail in the attached exhibits, down to how much will be paid by hour for tree trimming (this is also called line clearance in the industry as it involves removing tree branches from around electrical lines). The rates are not the amount paid to the laborers; but, also include overhead, per diem and all other associated costs. Here is the actual contract.

Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority and Whitefish Contract.

Independent - Puerto Rico and Whitefish Energy defend $300m deal to repair island's power grid ravaged by Hurricane Maria. The governor is quoted in the article saying, "“Of those (contractors) who met the requirements and aggressive schedules to bring brigades, one was asking for a substantial amount of money - which PREPA had no liquidity for - and another did not require it,” Rossello said. “That other one is Whitefish.”

There could be something dirty in the deal; but, either Puerto Rico could pay in advance or they couldn't and needed a company to upfront the cash. Whitefish is part of a holding company and they will have to find the money which oddly enough is what holding companies do.

Clinton, Russia and Trump

There is a lot in the news abut the fact that Hillary Clinton and the DNC paid $9 million for a sleazy report on Trump. It can get confusing so here is a quick summary and timeline of what occurred as far as we know today.

The story begins a few years ago when Hillary Clinton was still Secretary of State. Russia wanted to purchase nuclear transportation assets and a percentage of our Uranium rights. In furtherance of this it appears that Russia was suspected and investigated for bribery and kickbacks to get these contracts and our governments approval to make the purchase of the uranium rights. After Hillary approved the deal the Clinton foundation received $140 million from Russia and Bill Clinton was paid $500,000 personally for speaking in Russia.

Now we move ahead to the election. As she was preparing to run for President, one person working for Hillary was asked to survey to find her biggest vulnerability. The answer came back, "Russia" when people were told that she had authorized the sale of Uranium to them and how the Clinton Foundation got the $140 million. That was specifically stated in an e-mail to her campaign on June 26, 2015. An email to John Podesta from brentbbi@webtv.net dated 12/21/15 suggested that they go after Trump as being in a bromance with Putin..

According to the law firm that represents Hillary, Perkins Coie LLP, they were approached by Fusion GPS in March of 2016 which claimed to have previously been collecting dirt on Trump for a Republican who no longer needed it. While we do not know who the Republican was, it may well have been the Bush campaign as they had the funds to do it and this dossier did not come cheap. The law firm contacted their clients at the DNC and in Hillary's campaign and the Hillary campaign agreed to hire Fusion GPS in April.

Perkins Coie - Fusion GPS. This is a statement from the attorneys that hired Fusion GPS for the Clinton campaign. Thc contract with Fusion ended just before the election in November of that year and the DNC and Hillary's campaign paid almost $9 million for the report and investigation. That is a lot to pay for a document that could not be verified by anyone and in fact neither the DNC or Hillary Clinton ever used any of the information because they couldn't prove it either. The FBI, CIA and NSA all looked into it and couldn't verify it. What we do know is that much of it has been proven 100% wrong as it relates to specific individuals and where and when they were.

Fusion GPS then began shopping for some way to make a couple of more bucks off the story. They shopped it to a whole bunch of media organizations and others; but, no buyers. On January 10, 2017 after Hillary lost the election, Buzzfeed published the documents. Buzzfeed - These Reports Allege Trump Has Deep Ties To Russia.

Trump Dossier.

On January 6, 2017 Congress certified the electoral college results and Trump was made President. Trump was sworn into office on January 20, 2017. I want you to understand the timeframe. The electoral college gives the election to Trump, Congress certifies the results on January 6th and the dossier is published on January 10th. After it was published there were calls for preventing Trump to be sworn in.

Since the release of the report Hillary and the DNC constantly denied any involvement; but, according to the attorney who represented them in hiring Gusion GPS was a lie. It should be noted that according to the dossier, the people who Hillary and the DNC hired worked directly with the Russians to create the report. One might say they colluded together.

We are now being told that neither Podesta nor Hillary knew that they had paid for this document. Well, who had authority to authorize a $9 million dollar campaign expense without getting approval from Hillary Clinton. I mean it is a lot of money for a poorly written report.

YouTube Comments

The Pimpernel has been leaving comments on YouTube for about two months now. Not many, just a few. While one might expect that I have received tremendous hate, in fact, I find the whiners tend to go away really quickly when faced with actual discussion.

I point out simple things like I do on this blog. I point out that neither Trump, nor gay marriage, nor blacks, nor Jews, nor Muslims, nor abortionists, nor junkies, nor Mexicans trashed our economy. That was done by the Clintons, the Bushes and Obama. The same is true of who was responsible for all of the wars in the last 30 years. That basic fact is what nobody want's to discuss if they represent the establishment of either party.

We are all being nailed to crosses by the oligarchs that run this place and we are arguing over who has it worse. Simple math seems to allude the establishment in their narrative. In the last decade ALL of the new economic gains in the United States has gone to the top 1% and that is misleading because the vast majority of those gains were by the top .01%. Most of America is white; but, 99.9% of white Americans have not made any gains in the last 40 years. This is called math. People should use it when having discussions. If this nation is truly racist and protecting the interest of white people, they are doing a really bad job of it. The problem is not racism, it is the fact that a very few people own this country and don't want to share in the wealth it has created for all.

I love watching commenters on YouTube make the assumption I am a conservative. I've got a decade of posts that explain that I am socialist. I have written that if you don't pay your taxes, they take your house and put you in jail; but, if a corporation doesn't pay their taxes and hides it overseas, we offer to reduce the amount they pay in taxes. My answer is to nationalize those companies and take the taxes. Those companies are okay with you losing your house for not paying taxes. Does that really sound like a conservative?

There is no left and no right. The Democrats and Republicans are both the party of the wealthy, they just differ on social issues. Be afraid of what unites them, not the meaningless that divides them. The owner of sheep does not like the males more than the females, they are merely cattle.

Trump has confused the wealthy. During the election one billionaire offered Trump $1 billion to quit the race. You can look that up, I am not even sure if I wrote about it at the time. They are not afraid of Trump, they are afraid of everyone else, the middle class, the working class. They afraid that we might respond to their class warfare, that we might revolt over their crashing the economy and stealing all those houses and retirement funds. Those two crashes (housing and stock) were the single thefts in history and it was a conspiracy and it was planned and I have proven that with math in previous posts from that time.

The question is why cannot they figure out that I am leftist on YouTube? Why do they assume I am a conservative if I point out that the media is lying about Trump? Most Sanders supporters will give you the exact same answer, he was cheated, Hillary cheated and took questions in advance before the debates. 1/3 of the delegates had committed to Hillary before the first primary had been held. They don't want people to point these things out and accuse us of being deplorables and Republicans to say that we want to divide and for people to have less. I call for people having more and uniting. We can give everybody a job and we can feed everybody if we want to, the labor is there and the materials are there. The wealthy fear that everyone in the world will become 1970s middle class. An empowered middle class is the scariest thing in the world to aristocracies and oligarchies, to the one's in charge. They fear that you might stop believing that people can be born slaves or into debt?

I should also point out that I am in fact working on my story about the Rat Pack and vampires. I am actually doing it as a straight drama. After I get the story straight I will do the humor. That was what I decided today and it is changing the plotline in a good way.

People Don't Trust the Media and the Media Reacts by Attacking the People

Politico - Poll: 46 percent think media make up stories about Trump.  

This should not surprise anyone; but, apparently it surprises the corporate mainstream media. Since the beginning of the last election cycle almost two years ago, this blog has reported on how the media has pushed propaganda to support a corporate agenda. While the vast majority of what the media has been doing is dishonest in spinning context while intentionally leaving out critical information (such as the WikiLeaks information) there have also been clear examples of outright fabrication. Remember when we were told that the Russians had hacked our electrical grid? Yeah, and that turned out to be 100% made up.

This is not good; but, it is the media's fault. It is not a left or right thing, it is just what happens when you have a monopolistic media (6 companies owning 90% of all the media) with a corporate globalist agenda. Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone wrote a whole article saying that the media's insistence on pushing a false Russia narrative was going to hurt their trust among the citizens almost a year ago. 

The media has been hyping the need to restrict freedom of speech at colleges and on the internet, at the same time the media is horrified at the thought that the FCC might actually take away broadcasts licenses. Taking away broadcast licenses is not censorship. Let me explain.

Broadcast licenses only apply to radio and television. There are a limited number of airwaves. Because of this the FCC was created to regulate who got to use which airwave. Not all broadcasters can use channel 2 at the same time over the air. We cannot create more broadcast waves for radio or television. We can have as many cable channels as we want and those are not regulated. Because there are a limited number of radio waves for radio stations and television stations to use, we require that those who are given licenses to use the airwaves must work in the public good.

The corporate mainstream media is advocating censoring what you can say using the internet and overturning the election through impeachment. They are against both free speech and democracy. Does this bother you? It should. They are for abortion and against free speech. How much do they really believe in personal choice? Or only choices they like. They will defend my right to cut off my penis and call myself a woman; but, not my right to criticize that choice in others.

Look, if I went in to a doctor and said I was armed man trapped in a two armed body, would it be okay for him to remove one of my perfectly healthy arms? He would be arrested. Now, if (like Christina Applegate) I had a family history of breast cancer and chose to remove a breast that exhibited no signs of cancer, would that be okay? Most would probably say yes.

On the one hand we can view this as a legal question; but, we can also view it is a rights issue. For me, I don't ask what right I have, I ask when does society have the right to tell me what to do. Society needs to justify control, I don't have to prove I have a right. That's why the bill of rights was not in the original constitution. They believed you had to justify society controlling anything people did.

If something is legal to say in person than it should be legal to say using email or social media, even racist or offensive garbage. I don't believe we can outlaw suicide or racism. I don't believe we can prevent people from cutting their penises off or their arms. I think people that wish to do so have psychological issues and need to work on accepting themselves as they are.

We can go to this question. Do I believe that fat people who wish to lose weight are crazy like people who want to have healthy body parts removed. My answer is nope. Losing weight is not losing healthy parts, it is the opposite, it is improving health.

We are told we are being overrun by Klansmen and Nazis. Where? I haven't seen them except for a couple dozen in frickin Charlottesville. They got shut down quick. I'm old, I remember the Klan marching in states across the US. I remember segregated bathrooms. I remember when George Wallace ran for President. I went to one of the first schools in California to have forced bussing and was friends with kids that got bussed in. I remember what I experienced and saw and I remember when everyone told jokes about blacks and pollocks and ginnies and micks and women. I remember those times and kids, this aint nothing like that. Ask a 60 year old black man if things have changed or not in regards to racism. Does it still exist, hell yeah. Is it growing, hell no. Think gays  are treated worse, guess again, they used to go to jail for having sex with other men, for real.

The media views their job as scaring the left, not the right, they want to scare liberals. The boogeyman they have chosen is Nazis and Klansmen. What they are afraid of more than anything else is progressives who want to deal with the economy and economic class issues. If the liberals go after economic issues they would find a friend in Trump supporters and that is what scares them. Trump refused to sign the TPP, Hillary was gong to sign it and Sanders thought it should not be signed. The only people against the TPP that ran for President were Trump, Sanders and Paul. That's it. The TPP would have given corporations to make international legal decisions. Businesses would have true legal authority over governments and democracy would not be allowed to have a say. Why do you think the Democratic party officials are still attacking Sanders supporters?

Labor, Purpose and Wealth.

We have enough food to feed everyone on earth; but, we do not. We have enough resources to clothe and provide shelter for everyone on earth; but, we don't do that either. We have enough things that we can achieve that we do not need 99.9999% of us to be poor and could make most productive; but, we don't want to do that.

Let's talk about what we could do. We have more than enough minerals and the technology to send us to Mars and beyond. That is not a guess, it is a fact and the fact that we have put men on the moon and sent a spaceship beyond our own solar system says we could do what we want in this arena. We have more than enough people to create a whole industry to put us further into space and improve our infrastructure in any ways we want. Why don't we? What is stopping us?

People who don't understand the illusion of money wealth will say we cannot afford it? Why not, we can print all the money we want and we allocate the resources as we agree to? You will probably not understand the first few times you read it. Money is merely a promise of future labor or materials in exchange for labor or materials today. Money is nothing more than a contract. In and of itself cash has very limited value, it has no intrinsic worth. This becomes real clear during times of hyperinflation. After the south lost the civil war, what was the difference in value between a confederate dollar and a confederate 100 dollar note? None, they were both worth a penny of United States currency and only as an amusement. All of the promises that had been backed up by that cash were voided.

When I got divorced the court said that I got all of our debt (including the debt she acquired while taking her boyfriend to hotels and restaurants as she was cheating on me). The court voided and promises she had made to me (such as being faithful); but, made sure our joint debt was still paid, only by me alone. The government can pick and choose which debts must be met. Why would anyone support a system that only benefits a few, like .001%?

You know in the bible God told the Israelites that all debts had to be extinguished every 7 years. Of course he also said that it was wrong to charge interest? You know what the problem of charging interest is? It means that the value of what you have given changes, that the promise that is made when you get paid in cash does not need to be kept.

We have seen a decrease in the cash value of labor for the past 40 years and an increase in the cost of materials during that same period. Materials are becoming move valuable as labor is becoming less valuable. At the same time minerals are actually becoming cheaper to mine. That is why all the benefit is going to a very few people, the people we allow to own all the minerals and equipment that we as a society have built.

I shall ask it again, how is it possibly right that someone could be born and be entitled to nothing while another can be born entitled to everything, including the life of the one born in debt? Why should anyone accept that they are not entitled to some part of this earth?

There are no rules. There are no laws. There is only common agreement based on mutual benefit. When that common agreement is violated, there is no longer a valid government. This is called the "social contract" in political science. The question of whether or not I should care about any "law" (agreement by others to control me). If you think I am a libertarian, communist, or anything else you are both right and wrong. The only question for a society is how should we organize ourselves to benefit all of us to the fairest and greatest extent possible. Money (promise of labor or material) is supposed to be a tool to achieve that goal; but, we don't use it that way anymore.

News Dump Friday. LOL. Good stuff going on you should know about.

No fancy post today, just cleaning up all the articles that I have been saving for you.

Fortune - Paris Wants to Ban the Combustion Engine by 2030.  Yes, the City of Paris, not the country or province is making this decision on their own.

Fortune - France to Ban Sale of Gas Vehicles by 2040. Here is a line from this article, "The announcement follows Volvo’s announcement on Wednesday that it planned to cease making gas-powered cars and trucks and would instead only make electronic and hybrid vehicles starting in 2019."

Bloomberg - California Considers Following China With Combustion-Engine Car Ban. It might be a really bad time to invest in a new gas station.

Bloomberg - U.K. Joins France, Says Goodbye to Fossil-Fuel Cars by 2040.  Don't worry, you won't have to think about this too much because you are never going to get a chance to vote on it.

MSN - AP - Trump lashes out at Puerto Rico as House passes aid package. Remember the whole Trump Puerto Rico thing? Probably not too much as since then the media has moved onto football players kneeling during the national anthem (Trump's fault), the Las Vegas shooting (Trump's fault) and the President calling the spouse of a dead soldier (Trump's screw up). The story of last week was Harvey Weinstein and funny thing, most corporate mainstream media outlets made sure to make the story about Trump. What a shock. I tell you what, check the media's truthfulness with this simple test. Everytime something bad happens in the next two months see how it ends up being a complaint about Trump or his administration. By the way, we have just committed $35 Billion to repairing Puerto Rico and Trump signed it. That is roughly equivalent to half the national debt of Puerto Rico. The mayor who lashed out at Trump by he way, hasn't thanked the President or this country for the money that I have seen.

The Sacramento Bee - California secessionists think their path to independence is easier than Catalonia’s. California is not going to secede. The money behind this is the tech industry, they don't want to be taxed.

MSN - Bloomberg - This country has plenty of jobs. Where are all the workers?  Here is the narrative they are attempting to sell. Sweden has taken in hundreds of thousands of migrants; but, still can't fill their jobs. Somehow I don't think bringing I more unskilled Arab workers is going to fix this problem. Many of the migrants, if not most, do not speak or write Swedish.

Washintonian - The Washington Post’s New Social Media Policy Forbids Disparaging Advertisers.  Corporate media like the Washington Post, frequently call for censoring the internet and apparently even what their employees say on their own time; but, think it is outrageous that Trump thought the FCC (which is responsible for regulating the airwaves, not cable or the internet) should look at whether or not media conglomerates should have their licenses reviewed when they post knowingly false stories. The concept is that they want to regulate free speech unless they have approved it.

CNET - Jeffrey Katzenberg: Harvey Weinstein 'not a lone actor'. By paragraph two of the article it becomes about Trump.

MSN - Washington Post - Analysis | Longtime foes on foreign policy, McCain and Biden form alliance against Trumpism.  For his part, McCain who has made his career pushing nationalism to get elected now says that nationalism is bad and we should be internationalist. While Biden (from a different article) who has long claimed to be for the average guy is now promoting elitism and says populism (democracy) is the problem. There is no left or right, just globalist working for international corporations.

Julia Reda - What the Commission found out about copyright infringement but ‘forgot’ to tell us.  While the article is interesting as it pertains to copyright, the thing that stuck out for me was that the EU was considering requiring internet providers to use filters that prevent people from uploading material to the internet that hasn't been checked for copyright infringement. The same filter could be used to prevent other things from being uploaded.

Yahoo - Reuters - U.S. bill to regulate internet ads gains bipartisan support with McCain.  McCain is so full of it. Lets go back a bit. PC Magazine - McCain Bill Would Ban FCC Internet Regulations. That article is from 2009.

Huffington Post - What The Hell Was This Rachel Maddow Segment?  I am not even going to comment. It is pretty bad when the uberliberal Huffington Post has to call out uberliberal Trump hating Rachel Maddow for making stuff up about him.

Yahoo - AFP - G7, tech giants agree on plan to block jihadist content online. Here is a line from the article, "While acknowledging progress had been made, Britain's Home Secretary Amber Rudd insisted "companies need to go further and faster to not only take down extremist content but also stop it being uploaded in the first place"." Now if all you read was this article, you might miss this line or the fact that the EU wants to regulate what you can upload as is pointed out in one of the articles above. They want to regulate copyright material and anything that is not acceptable in their eyes; but, the excuse is to fight terrorists.

I have never attempted to hide what I believe in on this blog. I will restate it. I believe in strong national borders, a flat income tax with no deductions, taxing inheritances (you really are not entitled to your parents money), free trade or college education for all, universal healthcare, nationalizing any company that refuses to return it's taxes to the US, freedom of speech (on and off the internet using the same legal precedent - you cannot libel people or engage in a criminal conspiracy) and that we should have a new WPA (government jobs for all rebuilding our infrastructure and building the infrastructure of the future, including sending people to Mars). I believe in reasonable gun control, I do believe people have a right to own guns for hunting and self protection (even though I am a pacifist). I was against the war in Iraq. I have written about all of these things, except the Mars thing, I am going to post on that soon enough. I doubt very much that Trump would agree with me on most of these items; but, I will continue to call out the oligarchical media for lying about him. Read my next post about labor.

A Charming Young Lady

A met a very nice young lady tonight, she was with a friend of mine and was interested in some of the issues I write about on this blog. I think a lot of people have come to understand that the world does not work as we were told. The housing crash, the stock crash, 9-11, the co-option and destruction of the tea party and the violent removal of the Occupy Movement all told people that the world was changing and they were being lied to about the reasons and the methodology; but, they cannot be quite sure why or what is coming. As nature abhors a vacuum there are many who have sought to fill the one in public confidence while the media denies there are answers other than more of the same. Trump and Sanders both rose to prominence because they had answers that offered to actually try something new. That is why both of them are hated by the establishment. This is as true now as when I began saying it almost two years ago.

There are others that seek to fill in the blanks with nonsense. They spike the punch, some unintentionally and others with the malice of self interest. In my own narcissistic way I like to believe that I can fill in the blanks without trying to lead astray or sell you gold. In the almost decade since I began this blog I have never monetized it, had any advertising or sought any contributions. This blog has no resources allocated to it other than the time I spend, I have no assistants and no help writing it (that should be clear from the typos). The readers that come here find it on their own or if someone else mentions it. I have discovered that when it is mentioned on Facebook the readership goes up; but, that hasn't caused me to move to Facebook. Blogger has NEVER sought to have me modify or delete anything I have written. That is why I remain on this site and also why I do not use obscenities or allow comments to use them. It is also why I do not make accusations at specific people of things I cannot prove or substantiate. It is also why I provide source documents as much as possible.

For my readers I am going to give a short critique of those I do not trust to either know or tell you the big picture and some I do trust. I will provide links.

Alex Jones - InfoWars.  I do not recommend him. He does bring up some facts that are not often discussed; but, he always sensationalizes to increase viewership. If anyone has questions about his past I recommend they watch his show from the night when he claimed Y2K (the year 2000) was going to cause all governments to collapse and riots in the streets. Neither thing happened.

Rense - This guy is an anti-Semite who believes the world is controlled by Jews and has never met a conspiracy theory he didn't like ex Klans leader David Duke is one of his contributors.

The Young Turks - They have really gone downhill as they have become more and more partisan. They have never heard a conspiracy about Trump that they didn't believe. They have taken an arrogant position of believing that they know much more than you and you are an idiot for not agreeing with them.

David Icke - I like David Icke and he gets lots of things right; but, he also sees a giant Jewish conspiracy of Zionists. There are plenty of dishonest people and some of them are Jewish; but, the only thing they have in common is dishonesty. You have dishonest women, blacks, Latinos, whites, gays, straights, Europeans, Africans, Asians and Americans (both north and south). I won't even bother talking about the reptiles that Mr. Icke believes in. Ancient people used metaphors. Think about how the American Indians had animal spirit guides, metaphors.

As for Gerald Celente, Peter Schiff and many others that are constantly predicting crashes while selling gold, nuff said.  I start each day reading the people I just listed and looking for any tidbits that might be useful while basically ignoring their narrative. I then proceed to read all of the corporate mainstream nonsense and by and large ignore their corporate narrative.

There is a movie called "The Flim Flam Man". In it, George C. Scott plays a con artist and he says, "There are only two ways to con someone, make them think they are smarter than you or convince you have they want to take from you".  Each of those I listed has something for sale. I don't.

People I do view on a daily basis include the following:

styxhexenhammer666 - I like styx, he is very committed to Libertarianism; but, his analysis is always insightful. He is knowledgeable about many things; but, he is still young and I think he will continue learning because he is willing to question things and consider others reasoning. There is a reason even liberals respect him.

Sargon of Akkad - He is a good debater and doesn't try and sell you stuff. He does however fail to see how all the pieces fit together and tends to look at the ancillary issues. He sees the effect and the cause; but, not the intent. He sees the world as left and right when there is no left or right.

H.A. Goodman - HA has a good heart; but, can get very defensive and emotional. His writing is better than his videos are. He's not trying to sell you stuff either and comes from a liberal Sanders supporting background.

I also watch Louder With Crowder, Mark Dice, SomeBlackGuy, Jarmal Thomas and the Tim Black Show. Some left, some right, all shooting for humor and slightly skewing their view towards their political perspective without seeing it in themselves. More advocates than analysts. They might ridicule opposing views; but, they don't say you don't have a right to hold them and that matters.

None of these people were around when I started seeing the world as I do. I started looking after being asked to give a seminar on real estate. I was so focused on doing my regular job and taking care of my family that I stopped looking at the world around me as I had when I was younger. I stopped paying attention as much except to my industries that I was involved with. After preparing for that seminar and seeing the coming crashes I had to ask why they were allowing these thing to occur. Both crashes were predictable and could have been prevented and yet, those responsible for preventing them, protected them the culprits and made sure the crashes occurred.

When I first saw what was coming and then saw my predictions happen exactly as I predicted, it was like getting kicked in my stomach. I get that. It meant that all my parents and teachers and the media taught me was wrong. Funny thing is, I think they believed it too. We live in a world of competing interests, it is that simple. We are told we are not competing with those in power, that is the lie. The battle is always the rich versus the poor, those in charge versus those who serve, the establishment versus the controlled.

The establishment is coordinated, why wouldn't it be. In High School, were you surprised that the jocks worked together or that the smart kids did too? Does that class system go away in college? Why would you believe it goes away in government or business? We live in a world where common interests unite. For the rich, the common interest is in control and keeping others from taking what they have. For the middle class, the common interest is in getting ahead; but, they don't expect all of their group to get ahead so they promote their industries above one another. Musical chairs to see who rises. Gladiator sport for the establishment to watch and judge. For the poor, their common interest is getting anything that makes life tolerable even if that means siding with the rich. That is how the world works and that is what those in the establishment understand and don't want you to.

What's Going On.  Lets call this summary a staring place. A good place to start.

What to write or not write.

The video is just for fun. I think World Police is just one of the funnies movies ever. I saw it with my daughters in Vegas the Friday it came out, the theater was practically empty and we laughed our butts off. I actually bought a copy of Matt and Trey's first film, "Cannibal the Musical". my commitment has always been towards government; but, my passion has always been the arts. I cannot explain the joy of waiting back stage for the few minutes before opening night. It is magical and a world of it's own. I don't think people know that about me, not even brother and sister.

People who know me from business view me as very smart, very dedicated and highly unusual. I think they assume I am all about business and I am not. I spent my time to make sure I did it well; but, my heart has always been with the arts. I enjoyed woodworking, drawing, music and writing more than I ever enjoyed government or business.

So, what brings this all up. Well, I think I am ready to write a story again. I want to finish my story about the Rat Pack being vampire hunters and that being their reason for going to Vegas. I figure it will take two years. That's sounds like a long time for a guy who can write as fast as I do; but, I think it will take a year just to research all the characters. I want to incorporate people like Anton LeVay (the father of modern Satanism who befriended Sammy Davis Jr) and so many others. Sort of like Forest Gump did; but, in a decidedly different manner. I could spend the next two years preparing for the bar; but, I don't want to practice law, never did and don't now. I took law to write laws, I'm past that.

If I choose to write my story, I will need to buy some software for my computer and probably a new computer. I have been asked to write books about accounting, public right of ways and other exciting issues that could easily be published. They would be small runs for dedicated readers; but, I think I could expand the market for these issues. I would not publish my story online, except in an e-book format and I really think the story is visual.

Here is what I am going to consider. I have written two books. I am considering putting them up on this blog. I wrote them 30 years ago. Each is a little over 100 pages. If I publish them here I will literally not make one penny for them. That doesn't really bother me. If I commit to writing another story I actually want to make money off of it.

So what do you think. Should I publish both of my stories here for free? Should I write a third as I described? If I do decide to write a third, it will likely lead to much fewer postings on the blog for a year or two.

I Have To Laugh Weinstein Defenders

CNET - Jeffrey Katzenberg: Harvey Weinstein 'not a lone actor'.

Katzenberg was the Chairman of Disney when they bought the Weinstein company. He now claims he never heard the accusations against Weinstein. What complete and utter garbage. That is not how business works. Heck, I have created so many dossiers on people before making deals that I have lost count. That is just what you do. LOL.

All the studio heads know what is going on with all the other studio heads, that is how Hollywood works.

Boston Globe - Screenwriter Scott Rosenberg says he knew all about Harvey Weinstein — everyone did.

They can keep lying to the most naïve; but, too many people live in this town and know it is all a lie. Everybody knew and the higher up you were, the more you knew because that was your job. Disney owns Kimmel and he can't even joke about Weinstein.

120,000 hits and counting

It is hard to believe but this site has now had over 120,000 hits, a mere blip on the internet; but, an amazing number for a site that wasn't meant to last. I tip my wine glass to my readers. Have a great week.

And Now a Musical Interlude Because I Haven't Done One in a While.

We frequently have expectations from musicians, expectations about style and range and even genre; but, sometimes they fool you and cross over. Here is a couple of those.

YouTube - The Osmonds - Crazy Horses.  Yes these young Mormons are credited with the 66th most important heavy metal song. Listen closely and you can see that it influenced Ozzy Osborne and the song Iron Man.

YouTube - Cliff Richards - Devil Woman.  This guy was the English Pat Boone singing a non-religious rock song.

YouTube - Kiss - Beth.   Possibly the first power ballad from a group that usually only sang about sex, booze and rock. This one is actually about loving one's wife.

YouTube - Richard Harris MacArthur Park.

YouTube - Rick Nelson - Garden Party. One of the true pioneers of country rock, though Michael Nesmith was really the first.

YouTube - Alice Cooper - Clones. Heavy Metal Icon decides to go into New Wave music, and this was after he stopped drinking.

YouTube - Linda Ronstadt - Heatwave.  Linda transitioned from being the biggest country singer to being the biggest female rock singer.

YouTube - Michael Nesmith - Joanne.  Not quite what anyone expected from a former Monkee, a stunningly beautiful ballad. He also wrote one of Linda Ronstadt's first big hits, "Different Drum".

Random Complaints.

YouTube - Heart - Here Song.

YouTube - Heart - Only the Wine.

I watch the incessant parade of whiney punks on television. They may be black or white or male or female or gay or straight or fat or stupid or smart or any identity that they believe makes them who they are. It is all garbage. I do not define myself by my physical body. I admire strength of character, honor and integrity. True strength comes from belief, it comes from commitment to a moral code. I can have sympathy for those who faced challenges based on their physical body (be it color, sex or anything else); but, I still expect them to have integrity, on that I will view them.

I hear people whine that they are oppressed because of the shirt they wear or other such nonsense, as if that is the worst thing that can happen. Oh no, you chose to become a woman and people don't accept you. That is not the worst that can happen and if you can afford the surgery, you have not lived through the worst.

A hundred years ago, things sucked. Further back it sucked even more. Heck, when my dad was a child, it really wasn't much better. Tell me, if you are black, about how being pulled over more than whites has destroyed you. I have known men who lived in the south when they couldn't even enter restaurants where white people were. Tell me about white male privilege, let me tell you about my dad and uncle.

My uncle and godfather had a mother who slept with men for money. He discovered this fact when a fellow soldier told him how they had slept with her. I don't know the extent of the horrible life he led and neither does anyone else living. He joined young and ended up in Iwo Jima while the flag was being raised. He spent a couple days underneath dead Japanese soldiers after the Japanese retook the hill. Hiding beneath the dead bodies, he ate their rations to survive. He never told anyone except my father about that. He ended up helping put a man on the moon. He helped make the rockets.

My father had it tough too. At 11 his step dad had him quite school and work two jobs with all of the money going to his step dad. On a good day he was fed; but, those didn't happen every day. Beat and starved was the joy my father grew up to. He lied and joined the marines at 14 or 15. He ended up in Korea during the war. He was at all the battles and was wounded more than once. He and my uncle moved out to California and made their way. They never complained about hard times or life being unfair, they assumed that happened to everyone. They were wrong about that. Nobody gave a damn about them and they knew it, it made them stronger and individualistic.

I turned down lots of opportunities in my life. Chances to make lots of money or have even greater power. My dad never understood why; but, he always supported my freedom to choose my path. He paid for me to attend law school even though he knew I had no intention of practicing law and was only interested in writing them. My father never beat us and always made sure we ate well, things he had not experienced as a child. Love and help. My uncle was an ahole to most, he did not respect very many people. Oddly enough, he respected my insistence on doing thing my way. He respected inner strength and determination to achieve what you set out for.

Hitler wrote a book called "Mein Kampf" it means my struggle. Wimps and weasels always start by telling you about how hard their life has been. It is garbage. The same can be said about Hillary Clinton and her new book, "What Happened", does that need a question mark?

Don't tell me the world is unfair, I figured that out the first time I got my ass kicked for knowing things my peers did not. Don't tell me the world is unfair because men look at your breasts. Men like breasts, it has nothing to do with fairness.

I think we should seek fairness for all, not for a color or religion or sex, for all. I have heard people say that the problem is racism that results in a disproportionate number of unarmed black people being shot by police. My response is simple, would the shooting of unarmed people be okay if it was proportionate by color of victim? If we only focus on the unfairness treated to one group, do we not still promote unfairness?

I shall repeat the story I told before. There are three guys nailed to crosses. One is black, one is white and one is a Jew. Does it really make sense for them to argue over who has it worse? Shouldn't they be mad at the guy nailing them to the cross and not each other?

Would You Sleep With Me for a Million Dollars?

Nothing important just an observation. TMZ reported - Harvey WeinsteinFlying to Europe Tonight For Sex Addiction Rehab on 10/10/17, 7:40 PM PDT. This was also reported by the Daily Mail in England and other newspapers. Alex Jones reported "REPORT: Trump’s Justice Department Moves on Weinstein, Orders FBI to Open Probe Over Fears he will ‘do a Polanski’" 

A note to my readers, I do not endorse Alex Jones, in fact I do not as a rule even link to him. I had to link to what he said, if I am to be fair when discussing this event, the subject of the post.

So here is the timeline. Weinstein is called out as a molester by multiple women in a magazine report. Other famous women come forward and a tape on which Weinstein appears to admit having groped women. His ship quickly sinks, his attorney quits his case and his wife announces she is leaving him after he is forced to leave the company he founded. It is then claimed that he is attempting to leave for Europe to attend rehab; but, ends up staying and it is reported he is headed to Arizona for rehab. In between was the Alex Jones report that the Justice Department is moving on him. See, the federal government does not have any jurisdiction over these matters and as far as I know, no criminal charges have made against Weinstein. That should mean that he would be free to leave the country, so why didn't he?

What if Mr. Weinstein was put on a "no fly" list? Guess what, they don't need to charge you with a crime to put you on a no fly list. Can they put people on no fly lists on the mere suspicion that they might be charged with a crime? The answer is yes.

After Mr. Weinstein decided to stay in the US, his daughter called the police to say he was suicidal. TMZ - Harvey Weinstein Suicide Threat Prompts Police Response.

While I could care less about Weinstein, I find this story interesting. Not the fact that he molested women, that would never surprise me in Hollywood. The fact that everyone had heard the rumors and said nothing does not surprise me. The abject fear it has caused in Hollywood surprises me. They may be afraid of who is taken down next. We cannot even imagine what secrets Weinstein knows about people in Hollywood or who he would be willing to sell out for a better plea deal if charged. This guy begged others executives to help him to keep his job and he is known for being vengeful. Maybe that is why it took a week for so many in Hollywood to say anything. The insane attempts to make this about Trump (the LA Times has chosen to make it about Bannon, it is a company town) is a desperate attempt to kill the story that is not proving successful. The attempt is being made because Weinstein still has power in this town and still owns lots of shares in the company and knows lots of secret.

Weinstein is sort of like Kaddafi when he was captured by his opponents. He is in shock that none come to help him, he cannot believe his kingdom is crumbling because he masturbated in a plant pot in front of an actress or asked for naked massages or even touched them. He cannot believe it because he thinks that is how this industry works and it has been since the beginning. Washington DC is no different. Power and sex go hand in hand, it does not take much power to get lots of sex. If people will cheat on their spouse for free or hook up for dinner and drinks than they will certainly have sex in exchange for becoming a celebrity or getting a promotion.

While it is easy to condemn people who abuse power as Harvey Weinstein did, the fact is that it is really a question of what people will do to get ahead, to achieve their personal dreams. If you could avoid the gas chamber by sleeping with your guard, would you? If you were homeless would you sleep with a cop to drugs and a hotel room for the night? Would you sleep with a Hollywood producer to get a million dollars? How about to get a career worth $100 million? 

I have talked about the Aussie sex worker who stayed with me and my family for a week or so (I don't remember exactly how long it was), she was stunned that I would not consider sleeping with her. She told me that she expected men in their 40s (as I was at the time) to seek it. 

For my male readers I will ask a question. Would you turn down sex from a woman who offered it to you if there was no price tag for the service? We live in a world where sex is a commodity, it is traded on a daily basis and I am not referencing prostitution. Contrary to popular belief, prostitution is not illegal in Hollywood, in fact porno movies pay people to have sex, the definition of prostitution. I pointed this out in law school over 30 years ago. I asked why we did not charge porno movie producers and directors as pimps as they paid people to have sex. I was laughed at; but, nobody has ever answered the question from a legal perspective. Is it okay to pay people for sex as long as you film it?

There is a schism in people's minds. They will tell you that we should not allow people to go to jail for prostitution; but, we should put people in jail for asking for sex in exchange for getting a job. What is the difference?

Now, lets get away from sex. Would you lie for your company if it meant you would make $! million a year? What about a hundred million a year? 

Late Night Shows, Harvey Weinstein and Las Vegas. Now with 2 updates.

So the new mantra on late night television talk shows involves the host saying (after a week of saying nothing) that Harvey Weinstein is a bad man and that nobody knew. That is a lie and they knew. A bold statement you may say, not really I was born in this town, let me tell you things I know.

I have mentioned that I was a stage manager, well, I was offered into one of the unions when I was 16 and qualified for two unions at the time. At 12, my Catechism teacher was a producer who was responsible for the most expensive television pilot up until then. At 16 my brother and I were offered work in movies and television by a friend of mine's father who lived next to John Davidson and was a producer. That's just two of the producers I knew. I cannot tell you how many child stars I knew or knew friends. My sister even dated one of Johnny Carson's sons once. It is a small town in some ways, it is an industry town in many ways. Let me be clear, even though I barely noticed at the time, I crossed paths with many a Hollywood person including having had my first date with a lady who became an actress and model and had won a national talent show before she turned 18. I know, you cannot imagine the Pimpernel with an artsy type; but, she had the most wonderful heart and I knew her since 6th grade.

Before moving to where I live now, I lived in Burbank right next to Warner Brothers. The women there are stunning beautiful, even the waitresses often work in the business. Just so you understand, the average SAG member (actors and actresses) make like under $15,000 a year. The caste system in Hollywood is unbelievable. One of my friend's wives was a stand in for an actress on one of the Star Trek shows, she didn't make a bunch, maybe $40,000 a year; but, her husband had a great job. When they were making one of the movies she got a line in the film, sort of a thank you for being a good egg. Her husband told me how she was treated on the day of her line and how she was usually treated. Little things like having your name over your space where you get made up or getting picked up or a million little things that you get as perks as you rise in the talent arena.

While it seems boring and stupid to me to mention these things because I never really thought about it having grown up around it. One person I knew was a director on a national late night talk show, she lived with one of my very good friends. In fact, I lived with him for a few months after separating from my ex. We lived in Santa Monica where I was actually hit up on by young actresses and models. Again for those who do not know me, I was never that good looking and am not now. Each of my daughters witnesses some of this and each has a separate answer on why women found me attractive, I blame it on poor eyesight. Theirs not mine. I personally think they thought I might a writer or something in the business, I kind of look like that is possible.

The reason I mention all this is because I do not believe for one second that the talk show hosts of today never heard any stories about Weinstein. The town doesn't work that way. Hollywood has a bigger support system than an air force jet. There are hairdressers, stylists, caterers, drivers, agents, managers, accountants, lawyers, and hundreds of other professions and they all talk. One famous child star came out after the Corey Feldman story about their being sexually assaulted and mentioned how all the kids and adults knew at the time, nothing has changed. One does not accost Angelina Jolie and Gwyneth Paltrow without it getting around. Gwyneth even said she had told her boyfriend of the time, Brad Pitt, about it. Lena Dunham claims he had accosted her and she still worked at a Clinton fundraiser with him; but, felt bad about it.

The director of the late night talk show told me a story about a famous male singer (sold over 100 million records and in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame) who came to her door at 2 in the morning seeking sex even though he knew she was married to another famous musician. She had plenty of stories about people in the business, bad stories about people I liked and good stories about some I didn't care for. The fact of the matter is that the people who work on late night talk shows have a duty to know about the people who go on them and are surrounded by directors, producers, writers, makeup artists and talent scouts who darn well better know how to get people on the show and all about those people.

The talk show hosts waited a week to say anything and then all claimed to know nothing and have heard nothing. They are liars and the people who work for them know they are lying. Weinstein bought political influence for the industry and that is why they ignored his indiscretions. He was a lobbyist for the industry hiding behind being a donor. I say hiding because he didn't have to follow the laws as regular lobbyist, like reporting certain things. Remember when Clinton deregulated the news media allowing it to consolidate to where 6 companies control 90% of all the news in this country? Yeah, Weinstein brought millions to Bill Clintons campaign and the DNC and he was there for Hillary too. Funny how Hillary and the late night talk show people all decided to talk about him a week later and at the same time, I guess they all grew morals at the same time and oddly enough the exact same talking points which end with "But Trump". LOL.

Tell me another fairy tale because I don't know any better and just might buy the lies; but, don't count on it.

UPDATE:

Lets play connect the dots. Harvey Weinstein owned Miramax, Disney bought Miramax in or around 1993 from him and ABC owns the Jimmy Kimmel Show. Small point of interest, in 2009 Weinstein vocally gave support to Roman Polanski to not be extradited to the United States to face trial for raping a 13 year old girl. Tell me again how these late night hosts and Hillary Clinton never heard any rumors about him. By the way, Bill Clinton deregulated the media in 1996 leading to 6 companies owning 90% of all of it. I wonder if Weinstein's contributions to his campaigns and later Hillary led to this decision. Funny how donors are not treated like lobbyists, even when they are lobbying.

Gwenyth Paltrow says that Weinstein accosted her while she was dating Brad Pitt and that Pitt threatened to harm Weinstein when he saw him again. Later Pitt married Angelina Jolie who also says she was accosted by Weinstein. Hmm, what has he to say about all this, what does he say about  his choosing to work for Weinstein on Inglorious Bastards? The sound of tumbleweeds on a windy night is all we hear. Hollywood is a bunch of timid narcissists that will say and do anything to get noticed. Heck, Lena Dunham says she was accosted by him; but, worked with him to fundraise for Hillary. Funny that she was more concerned about Trump than being with the man who actually accosted her, Weinstein.

Hollywood is more willing to go after the President than Weinstein because they feared Weinstein effecting their careers more. Notice how Kimmel made the Weinstein story about Trump. He failed to mention how his owner, ABC, owned Miramax the old Weinstein company. What a surprise. Follow the money, always a good starting point.

You can click your tongues over Democrats; but, this is deeper, this is about a media owned by oligarchs and the power they wield to make sure you only hear what they want you to. When the presidential campaign began I told you, I was focused on the media, still am. Ignore the party, focus on the propaganda machine that is now for all practical purposes a monopoly.

UPDATE 2:

So the Las Vegas police said that the Mandalay Bay shooter had shot a security guard after firing into the crowd and is now saying that he was shot before he began shooting into the crowd. You might ask what difference it makes, it makes a lot. It means the hotel could be held liable for not having stopped the shooting after it began when they knew what was going on. In fact, it took almost an hour before police arrived at the room. What happened after the security guard was shot, why wasn't it picked up by the security cameras and the security staff on it immediately?

YouTube - Vegas shooter had access to Mandalay Bay service elevators.

Vegas, like Hollywood, is a company town, an oligarchy now and they don't snitch on one another. The state of Nevada determines who gets to have a casino license. The Nevada state investigation office has almost certainly asked for all of the gambling records on the killer and I assure you, the casinos provided it along with all of their security footage. Every floor is recorded 24 hours a day from multiple cameras at the Mandalay Bay. The security people know this, it is not a secret; but, it is also not being discussed in the mainstream corporate media. Where is the video of the last time the gunman entered his room? Where is the video of the security guard being shot, along with the timestamp?

Mandalay Bay is owned by MGM Resorts International. They own quite a lot of casinos, not just in Vegas, worldwide. They own Bellagio, Circus Circus, Aria, Mandarin, Vdara, Excalibur, Luxor, Mandalay Bay, Delano, MGM Grand, the Mirage, Monte Carlo, New York, New York and a whole bunch of other casinos in multiple states. They make up a significant percentage of the jobs and income of Nevada.

Read my previous post, TTIIY - What if he Was Truly Gambling With People's Lives.

Vegas is terrified that he did this because he lost lots of money. The casinos are all discussing how this may hurt business. They have had the video since it happened and have yet to release it to the public. The police would have seen the video almost immediately and lied about when the guard was shot. By the way, there are cameras in the service elevators, that's frequently how the money is moved. Every hotel in the casinos is monitored, they are looking out for people that might rip them off. This guy brought enough guns that he could have robbed the whole hotel and casino.

Ignore idiots that talk about ISIS being involved, like that moron Alex Jones, a distractor at best. Ignore the mainstream corporate media that wants you to focus on bump stocks. Ask yourself how having more cameras around to film you makes you safer when a important Vegas casino that films everyone 24/7 couldn't catch this guy, that is what they are hiding from you.

Really short and quick post.

Foreign Affairs Magazine - The Future of History, Can Liberal Democracy Survive the Decline of the Middle Class.  You should read it just to become familiar with what the establishment believes is coming.

Politico - Joe Biden’s Platform for 2020: Anti-Populism. The establishment sees you as the unruly and unwashed masses. Here is a line from the article, "If you’re looking for someone who can simultaneously persuade the angry mobs to put away the pitchforks and still bring white working-class voters back into the Democratic fold, perhaps you’ve found your answer in the Pride of Scranton."  To be specific, the article lays out how Biden is a globalist (does not believe in America first) and international trade agreements that weaken democracy like the TPP.

Puerto Rico and More Media Lies

I'm just going to point this out because of the incessant lies by the corporate mainstream media really annoys me sometimes.

First this reporter tells us and interviews someone who says they don't have any electricity or internet, then at 5:27 or so into the video she claims that people in Puerto Rico were upset by Trump's tweets. How would they possibly know what he tweeted if they had no internet connection? We had been told that the cell towers were down in Puerto Rico and that there is no electrical system left. She then goes into how this is worse than Katrina even though they have lost only 16 people and in Katrina they lost almost 1,500 people; but, she assures us it is worse in Puerto Rico because people lost everything. Does she not know that even more people lost everything in Katrina? That many have had to move from Louisiana because of it for the rest of their lives?

Lets be honest, we dedicated $9 billion and sent 10,000 people to Puerto Rico which is more than 1/10th of their national debt ($72 billion) and is the same as the debt for their electrical company alone. If the United Sates mainland loses it's electrical grid, will Puerto Rico give us $1.8 trillion (1/10th our national debt)? I think not. She complains that Trump is discussing the debt and costs while he is the only one saying their debt needs to be restricted. Yes, Trump discussed the debt and the need to relieve them of it. In fact all of the interviews she showed were of Puerto Ricans saying give Trump a chance and then judge him. Watch the video above, listen to what she says and what the people she interviewed say then listen to what she said people felt. Which people, not the one's she interviewed.

What if he Was Truly Gambling With People's Lives

I may or may not post this, writing just helps me to figure things out sometimes. I generally don't feel comfortable about discussing fresh big news. I prefer to write about longer term trends. Writing about Pastor Daniels was a fluke, I just couldn't see something and still can't. I have previously discussed what I thought; but, I cannot understand what happened in Vegas. I don't care about the gun debate, I have made my views on gun control in the past on this blog, nothing has changed. No, this doesn't add up.

I accept the fact that this miscreant killed all these people. I just cannot make sense of why or how he got to that place. Nothing about the guy makes sense. I have previously mentioned the BTK case. Prior to him reappearing, I accurately predicted where he lived, that he was still alive, that he had never been arrested, that he attended church, that he was in code enforcement, the city he lived in and many other details. I went by the nickname catchputz on the Kansas City newspaper site. These things can be checked. Readers of this site that know me personally can vouch for this. It didn't make sense to me when I first read about it and this doesn't either.

I practically lived in Vegas for 20 years, that is how much I was there. I was hosted and had markers. I didn't pay for a room in that town for over a decade, including two years after I stopped going when my father died. The media keeps saying that this guy played high stakes video poker. I played low stakes stuff and was still hosted. This guy they tell us was a millionaire who had won $250,000 once according to his brother. The doesn't make any sense. It was reported tonight that the guy spent 8 hours playing high stake video poker before going on his killing spree. That makes no sense. They also said that he had stayed at another hotel previously across from a concert. The first thing I would ask is did he play high stakes poker for 8 hours that time too. If he did, did he win or lose and how much?

Here is what I am starting to see. The casinos know his patter of play, they had to. This guy had to be hosted or all the talk about him being a big gambler is a lie. Here is a simple question, was his room comped? That is the first thing I would have checked, how did he pay for his room? How much did he gamble? Was he picking the event he would act up at based on whether or not he lost big? Why hasn't anyone reported on his gambling record, the casinos have it and that is not a guess. What kind of tipper was he. I guy sits down playing video poker, high stakes, and the waitress notices him. That is not a guess either, I practically lived in those casinos. Cocktail waitresses loved me and always made sure I was taken care of. They would have noticed him.

There is a lot of talk about whether or not this guy was with ISIS (I doubt it a lot nobody what they said). This guy did not expect to come out alive and didn't intend to. I know they said he prepared a way out; but, he wasn't captured, he killed himself and it took an hour for them to get in his room. He could have left at anytime or at least tried to. This does not make sense.

I grew up in the wake of the tower shooting at Austen University, that guy made sense. He snapped and wanted to die; but, he didn't make preparations like this in advance. This guy prepared weeks in advance, I don't buy that he just snapped. It was a plan; but, to do what?

There used to be a show on HBO called Taxicab Confessions. A compulsive gambler ended up in the secret cab that had the secret camera. He tells the driver that he is a compulsive gambler and almost killed himself because he couldn't stop himself. While I used to love Vegas, I was never a compulsive gambler. I mean, I had a gambling budget and really didn't care if I won or lost. I just enjoyed getting away from all the pressure in my life and being treated like I mattered. There are more people like me that gamble in Vegas that there are compulsive gamblers. I know all the different types of gamblers including professional ones. Heck, I had a professional poker player live with me when he was homeless. LOL. I once emotionally destroyed the man responsible for the whales comfort at a significantly famous and big casino. I know that town and I know the different types of gamblers.

Somewhere over the last ten years I wrote a post about when Tiger Woods got called out for hookers in Vegas. I pointed out then that the casinos knew and let him get caught. Don't know why; but, they did. Casinos look out for the big players. Casinos look out even for regulars that are little guys like me. I would love to know what the casinos knew about this guy and we are not hearing it.

I have not heard one thing that makes me associate this guy with country and western or country fans. Nothing. What if he was looking for a big event; but, wanted his play to determine which one. What if he was gambling on which event to kill at based on his play during the day? That sounds insane as I write it; but, I think it is worth looking into. That is sick beyond all belief. What if it is true? What if he was truly gambling with people's lives?

The casinos monitor patterns of play, that is how they determine your comps or freebees. When the school teacher from Omaha gets into Vegas, she signs up for the rewards program to get comps for her play. Most play a couple of hundred dollars and pay for their rooms, which they booked in advance. Some upon returning home are offered free rooms and some sort of giveaway next time they come, as long as it is during the week. The guy played high stakes video poker, he expected to get a free room whenever he wanted and he expected to get free meals. What were the things he did ask for?

The Zodiac Killer mentioned a film in his letters. The Most Dangerous Game. It is about a rich man who likes to hunt people. A game. If high stakes are not enough, what stakes could be higher than the lives of hundreds?

Vegas is not like it used to be, there are only a couple of conglomerates that own all the casinos and they all share their rewards card information. A gamblers pattern is nectar to a casino and this guy had one. I played tournament poker, gamblers look for patterns of play and betting just like casinos do. You don't play the cards, you play the person. They guy does not fit in with any expected patterns so we should consider what patterns he does fit in with. He is a compulsive gambler with no history of hate towards any group. He didn't face the sudden loss of a family member or loved one, he was not broke, he was not dying and he planned it out multiple times. What if it really is as simple as I said it could be.

UPDATE:

I posted the above at 2:46 in the morning. At 8:00 tonight the following article was published by USA Today - Paddock's high-roller status would have bought him perks, casino experts say. Shock of shock, after talking to casino and gambling experts the writer said, " This likely makes figuring out exactly how much money Paddock spent on gambling prior to the mass shooting a key part of any investigation. How much money was wagered? Was he winning or losing?"  I highly recommend that people read the article, it will confirm the things I wrote above, last night.

UPDATE 2:

LA Times - In the solitary world of video poker, Stephen Paddock knew how to win. Until he didn't.
Read the article, then read what I wrote days ago. I know Vegas and I'm not alone. This guy had a profile at every casino and a record of all his bets and play. This was not terrorism, this was a personal insanity.

UPDATE 3:

Las Vegas Review Journal - Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock lost money in 2 years preceding shooting.  Here is the line that sums up what I have been asking since it happened. "
Lombardo speculated that the financial losses might have contributed to Paddock’s decision to spray a country music festival with bullets, killing 58 people and injuring more than 500 others. “I think that might have a determining factor on what he determined to do,” Lombardo said in the interview, which aired Wednesday night.

UPDATE 4:

It is now November 19, 2017 and this is an update. I was absolutely correct, the shooter had a host and on November 17, 2017 they spoke to them on Coast to Coast AM. I'm going to listen to it now, just found out.

Media Trust and Reality

The corporate mainstream media continues to create their own trap. Trump ends DACA. The fact that DACA was never a law and provided no path to citizenship is ignored by the media and instead Trump is called a racist. Trump works with the Democratic party on some agreement to make DACA a real law and provide a passage to citizenship for people under it. The mainstream media attacks Democrats for working with Trump and the people who it applies to begin saying they don't want DACA made law if it means working with Trump or it means that we will secure our borders. Seems strange doesn't it and quite a bit insincere.

Now lets look at Puerto Rico. Trump says that we have to do something about their debt and the media chastises him for mentioning it at all. Once arriving in Puerto Rico Trump says that the banks are going to have to eat that debt, basically saying they will get to declare bankruptcy (something that came up two years ago and congress and President Obama failed to deal with). What does the media discuss, not that, they discuss him throwing paper towels at people (otherwise known as handing out supplies). Yep, that is your corporate media for you.

Lets go back in time, Trump convinces Carrier to keep jobs in the United States and the media says he didn't keep them all and at the same time says it is wrong for him to try to keep manufacturing jobs here. I know, I wrote those posts at the time and they are still here.

It seems that every time Trump says something, the media attacks him and says he should do X; but, when it turns out that he was working on just that all the time and proposes it, they say it is not enough and that he is racist or evil for doing what they said he should do.

The establishment and the corporate media cannot see what they are doing to themselves. Even progressives within the Democratic party that hate Trump are calling out the media for their lies and hypocrisy. I write about the news all the time, I read so many news sources a day that I cannot tell you on any given day which ones I read. I read from the left, from the right, from other countries, from alternative sites, from overseas sites and from everything else that looks like it might contain additional information like specialty sites (science, anomalous events, cryptozoology and whatever else you can think of). Nobody who knows me thinks they are better informed on these events than me; but, even those of my friends who follow none of these things are telling me that they know the media and establishment are exposing themselves in a negative light and they cannot figure out why. Everyone knows something is different, even the most uninformed.

Here is where it really gets weird. If Trump gets DACA approved as a real law providing a real path to citizenship, we already know they will say he is evil and a racist. If Trump gets a bankruptcy approved for Puerto Rico and gets their electrical grid back up better than it was before the hurricane they will say he is evil and racist. The problem for the media is that everybody sees what they are saying even the people who hate Trump.

Pimpernel was a sneaky, sneaky person back in the day. I would set trap doors for those who attacked me to make sure if they did wrong their heads fell off and they never saw them because there were always too many to catch them all. Making people fight themselves is easier than you might think, it is chess if you play well and it is most definitely tournament poker. You just don't see it often in politics, not to this degree.

While I have little if any sympathy for the corporate media or the establishment as they continue to lose credibility and expose their hypocrisy, I am concerned that down the road people will not hear them if and when they are ever honest and correct again. It is easier to convince people you are dishonest than to convince them after you have proven it that you can be trusted again. That is the predicament the media is in.
