Well!

Law Enforcement has finally gotten the go-ahead to take down the terroists infesting our college campuses.

Yes, terrorists. They fit the description. They are working for, supporting, giving aid and comfort, and in may cases even being directed by a terrorist organization - Hamas. They are using violence and the threat of violence (violence by their own damned definitions!) in order to further a political goal.

They are, by all measures, terrorists, and should be treated and trialled - and punished where warranted - as such. What damned good is a "Patriot Act" if they're not going to use it against terrorist attacks on the US homeland?

Hamas operatives have been photographed on the Columbia campus directing the attack. We've had those photos for a week now. Weapons have been spotted among the terrorists at the UCLA campus. What sort of weapons has not yet been specified, but to me a weapon is a weapon.

Finally, the police have been given the go-ahead to mount a counter assault and take down the terrorist compunds on several college campuses - UCLA, Columbia, Portland State, etc.

Here was the view at UCLA last night. The loud explosions accompanied by bright flashes are the flash-bangs being lobbed over the fortifications into the compound. Nothing like an explosive concussion hitting one at the same time a bright flash blinds them to muck up their aim for a counter assault s the cops pour in through the dismantled fortifications. It meets the Ninurta Seal of Approval.




Police make the assault, start arresting the terroists, and disassembling their compound:




Arrests ongoing through this morning:





Now let's see just how serious they are - prosecutions and punishments for terrorism should follow if they are actually serious. Anything les is just a show for votes.

This just seems too blatant...

Quote:ABoeing whistleblower who warned about manufacturing defects on the 737 Max line of planes before being fired in 2023 died on Tuesday after contracting a fast-spreading infection.

Joshua Dean, 45, reported having trouble breathing a little more than two weeks ago and was taken to the hospital where he developed pneumonia and the antibiotic resistant infection called MRSA, leading to his death, the Seattle Times first reported. The mechanical engineer and former quality auditor at Boeing supplier Spirit Aerosystems, which makes the fuselage of the beleaguered 737 Max, was in good health and was known for living a healthy lifestyle prior to his illness, his aunt told the Times

Quote:Dean is the second Boeing whistleblower to suddenly die this year, following Josh Barnett, 62, who reportedly committed suicide from a "self-inflicted gunshot wound" in March. 

Barnett worked as a quality manager at Boeing for 32 years until he retired in 2017. Just hours before he died, the veteran quality manager was supplying evidence for a whistleblower lawsuit that alleged one in four oxygen masks on Boeing planes could be faulty. Barnett described a litany of issues in testimony before the Department of Labor Administrative Law Judges seeking damages for lost pay, emotional distress, and harassment. He alleged a production first, quality second culture; inexperienced quality managers who “would just wing it;” and pressure to sign off on inspections for parts that weren’t completed in order to keep the assembly line moving. 

I enjoyed this story and maybe you will too.

Quote:Playing The Game

Battle armor is where you find it



Modern Fascism began 5,000 years ago in Sumer, in the southern plains of Iraq. To recapitulate my argument from my last column, Fascism (a.k.a. Corporatism) is a form of collectivism, whereby power is concentrated in corporations (artificial “persons”) that supersede and supplant political and religious organizations. It could even be argued that the Tower of Babel was a metaphor for collectivist entities like corporations.

History teaches us that humans are collectivist beings. Despite brief flashes of individualism, we tend to congeal around collective entities, because the centralization of power — economic and political — offers benefits to the individual that they cannot find anywhere else. Fact of life, not much we can do about human nature. The problems arise when we grant our collectivist entities the same or greater power than the individual — personhood — under the law.

When one fully understands what has been happening, during the entire history of human civilization, one can appreciate the Sisyphean task of fighting the relentless march of Fascism. Corporations are clearly consolidating political and economic power, and its followers defend it with a zeal that borders on religious.

How does someone fight this wave without getting swamped? I have a theory based on the idea that it’s easier to reach the shore when you paddle with the current.

The law, especially in the United States, but increasingly throughout the world, protects corporations, and thanks to court decisions like Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, collectivist organizations have been handed the purse strings to governments.

In fact, I would argue that the end result of the recent pandemic was the triumph of Fascism, in which corporate interests dictated policies and mandates to governments the world over, with great apparent success. The 2020 US elections might turn out to be another victory. After all, in both cases, who were the arbiters of “misinformation” and “disinformation”? Correct answer: corporations.

Who owns the GeezerMedia and all the Blow-Dried Baubleheads? What are at the hearts of all the campaigns, political parties, unions, global organizations, and even the United Nations? Who owns the Central Bank system, SWIFT, and the stock exchanges? Who owns the pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, insurance companies, and apothecaries? Who owns the production of raw materials, the processing plants, the shipping industry, and product marketing agencies? Who owns the mortuaries, crematoria, and cemeteries? Who’s trying to take ownership of the very atmosphere and the building blocks of life (carbon)?

Oh yes, and how does your place of worship receive tax exempt status, collect donations, contract with service providers, and operate beyond the tenure or lifetime of the principles? Oh that’s right, they’re all corporations.

And just to drive a nail in it, do you think the “evil” countries — i.e. Russia, Libya, Syria, Iran, North Korea, etc. — are part of the global Fascist system, or fighting it?
So, with all that behind us, do you think it’s more effective to fight the beast head on, or figure out a way to use their system against them?

Why not form a family corporation? The big boys do, and that’s how the rich get richer, while the rest of us get screwed.

Suppose a little paperwork and a filing fee would short-circuit lawsuits against members of your family, protect your assets, covert all your living expenses into corporate expenses, derail family court systems and child “protective” services, prevent probate courts and death taxes from destroying your lifetime of hard work, and enrich your progeny for generations to come?

Be on notice that nothing in this column constitutes legal or financial advice, and the reader is encouraged to investigate this matter independently, and seek licensed, certified “experts” to guide and inform.

Let’s say you, the family CEO, die. There’s no will to fight over or greedy government salivating over your estate. The Board of Directors (your family) simply appoint a new CEO and march on into the fog — no death tax, no lawyers, no probate court appointments.

Let’s say all your monthly bills are deducted from corporate revenues before being taxed. Marriage becomes a Merger & Acquisition or a Joint Venture, while divorce becomes a mediated disassociation with division of assets according to percentage of ownership. Heck, you might even be able to sue your ex for libel if he/she says anything disparaging about you or the corporation, and an NDA might even help that. Might there also be a non-compete agreement in the mix?


Let’s say a guest at your company party falls off the deck and sues, but they can’t touch you nor any of your family’s assets, nor any of the officers. At best, they get an out-of-court settlement with your insurance provider, but piercing the “corporate veil” makes anything more a monumental task.

Maybe the school gets “concerned” about one of your officers (your child). They would have an entirely new buffer of legal mumbo-jumbo before they can even think about touching an officer of your corporation.

But wait! I hear you say. How come nobody ever talks about things like this?

Exactly. I rest my case.

Look at all the major political and industrial families. They all have “foundations” and “trusts” behind which they operate. This is because the “corporate” blanket provides certain protections and immunities for the individuals involved and their assets, that the lone “natural human” on the land does not have. The laws are specifically set up that way, because the corporations have the political and economic clout to lobby for those protections, and they certainly don’t want us plebes enjoying the same privileges.

In the digital age, there are new and updated corporate forms coming that offer even more opportunities to amass wealth, share the benefits and even offer shares on the open market without oversight. One such entity is called the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).

This is essentially a “can’t beat ‘em so join ‘em” strategy, and perhaps it is not a perfect one for those seeking to unwind the Fascist system. It does, however, empower the individual in ways not available otherwise, and allows families to amass wealth the same way the Big Guys do. In a sense, it is the ancient Peerage system updated to a more complex social and legal system that allows anyone to buy into it with the proper paperwork.


The newer digitized versions of corporations are even more interesting, and can be used to democratize power and influence in ways never before conceived. In a sense, it is using “their” system against them.

It’s a strategy and not an end.

controversy over a $3.5 billion allocation for expanding migrant processing centers, fueling concerns about neglecting U.S. border security and incentivizing mass migration from the Middle East. Critics argue that the package lacks funding to fortify America's borders against illegal migration while allocating $481 million to settle migrants in U.S. cities and billions more to broaden international migration programs worldwide.

Quote:Researchers have created the world's first graphene semiconductor. The joke goes that graphene can do everything but leave the lab, but in the last few years, this is no longer true. In this episode we'll see how scientists turned the best conductor known to man into a semiconductor, opening the door to faster, cooler and more efficient computing. Note: the resulting graphene was doped with pure oxygen within the experiment. Apologies for not explaining that critical part. Also another correction, I called "Georgia Institute of Technology" "Georgia Tech" , just wanted to clarify that.

Very interesting to hear about the legend himself behind the meme.
380 EOD missions in Vietnam; never wore a bomb suit either. He tells a number of interesting historical stories.

Quote:This week, I am talking to SGM ® Mike Vining. Mike is a military legend. From his time as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technician in Vietnam, to the founding of the United States Army's premiere counter terrorism force, Delta Force, he has done it all. In this episode, We sat down and talked about his time in the Army to include being EOD, Vietnam, civilian life, and the founding of Delta Force.

I even asked him some of the questions you all asked. And of course I had to ask about the Hurt Locker.

It was great to sit down and talk EOD. SGM Vining has done a lot of interviews about his time in Delta, so this was a piece of the story that needed to be told.

There were a couple of minor technical issues in the beginning of the recording. SGM Vining even offered to rerecord the entire episode, but it would have lost some of the magic.

I am starting chapter 6 and so far the novel has kept my interest. The narration is well done and easy to listen to IMO.

Quote:This week in Florida, Judge Aileen Cannon unsealed a trove of new documents that Jack Smith fought to keep hidden. And you'll soon find out why. Among the documents unsealed were extensive exhibits, motions, and other filings shedding light on the intricate web of communication between the Biden White House and the National Archives and Records Administration in the lead-up to Trump's indictment.

Investigative journalist Julie Kelly found something interesting in the documents that could change everything. The first things is testimony from an FBI agent who testified that the General Services Association (GSA) had been in possession of Trump's boxes in Virginia before ordering Trump's team to come get them.

"So an entire pallet full of boxes that had been held by GSA somewhere outside of DC is dumped at Mar-a-Lago," Kelly notes. "Apparently these are the boxes that ended up containing papers with 'classified markings.'"
"I will double check indictment but I don't recall this event in the timeline," she added.
So, it appears that the Biden administration may have been responsible for shipping classified information to Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Florida. This development is significant because Trump has previously blamed the GSA for packing the boxes that contained the classified documents, only to later accuse Trump of essentially stealing them and using that as pretext for sending the  FBI to raid his Mar-a-Lago home in August 2022.

"It was a set-up from the get-go," remarked Tom Fitton, the founder of Judicial Watch.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden had classified information that he was never entitled to have stored in boxes in his garage for years, but was not charged. Biden blamed staffers for packing the classified information. 
While this may not prove the Biden administration set up Trump in the classified documents case, considering the way the Biden administration has abused the legal system against Trump, no one can confidently say they wouldn't.
Even so, it still raises other legitimate questions. For example, if the GSA had been in possession of the boxes, why wasn't a review of the materials conducted before they instructed Trump's team to get them? When it comes to classified information, they wouldn't have expected Trump and his staff to be responsible for ensuring that classified documents weren't among the records. Perhaps they did review the contents of the boxes and knew classified documents were contained in them before they told Trump's people to come get them.
