commish @ 13:41 I Cannot Help But Wonder….
that little circle of evil elites you have pictured. Do they KNOW Hillary has zero chance, even with rigged elections, of winning the White House? That the groundswell for Trump is so large, so unstoppable at this point they are changing horses midstream? ( Trump was never suppose to pose this great a threat to their machine.)
So it is this ‘inner circle’ that is releasing ‘hacked emails’, and even disclosing her health issues ? Not only giving Hillary a somewhat ‘dignified’ release from the race, but ushering in another choice, say, like Michelle Obama. It is late in the Election game, but they MUST stop Trump from becoming President. They MUST ! Or game over for them.
Desperate times for desperate measures??

Clinton’s Email Scandal Is Much Bigger Than Clinton
by James Corbett
corbettreport.com
September 14, 2016
In yet another sign that the establishment media has completely lost any semblance of a grounding in reality, the Washington Post just opined that “The Hillary Clinton email story is out of control,” whining about how much attention the story of Clinton’s homebrew email system is receiving in this campaign. This despite the fact that the facts on the ground here are incontrovertible:
- Hillary Clinton used a private (and unsecured) email server for official State Department communications during her time as Secretary of State.
- She asked aides to “wipe her servers” after the State Department finally got around to asking her for emails related to her public record; they responded by smashing her 13 blackberries with hammers.
- She withheld 17,500 work related emails from FBI agents.
- She lied about receiving classified material over the server.
- The best the FBI could do in deciding not to prosecute her (after the mysterious tarmac meeting between Loretta and Bill) was to say she was too stupid to know that “c” meant classified and that her actions were extremely careless.
- If she had been anyone else, Hillary Clinton would have been in jail by now.
But never mind all of that; the Washington Post has decided that the public is too concerned about the issue so I guess it’s time to move on, right?
Wrong. Thankfully this is 2016 not 1966, and the dinosaur media no longer dictates the news cycle like they used to. CNN and the NYT can call it a “stumble” all they want, but we’ve seen the video; we know that Clinton’s feet didn’t move at all and she was literally dragged into that van. Similarly, we don’t have to take the talking heads word for it; we know that Clinton broke the law with the emails, tried to lie her way out of it, and has only gotten away with it because of her political connections (and the body count, of course; let’s not forget the body count).
But as it turns out, there’s an even bigger story here than Clinton’s illegal activities or the establishment media’s willingness to cover it up.
A new email exchange between Clinton and former Secretary of State Colin Powell has just been released. In it, Powell is remarkably frank about how he defied CIA/NSA and State Department orders not to use personal computers and how to avoid leaving a data trail that could become part of the public record (and thus subject to FOIA):
“I didn’t have a BlackBerry. What I did do was have a personal computer that was hooked up to a private phone line (sounds ancient.) So I could communicate with a wide range of friends directly without it going through the State Department servers. I even used it to do business with some foreign leaders and some of the senior folks in the Department on their personal email accounts.”
He goes on to explain:
“However, there is a real danger. If it is public that you have a BlackBerry and it is government and you are using it, government or not, to do business, it may become an official record and subject to the law. Reading about the President’s BB rules this morning, it sounds like it won’t be as useful as it used to be. Be very careful. I got around it all by not saying much and not using systems that captured the data.”
Shocking, right? Well, it’s much worse. It’s not just Secretaries of State pulling these kinds of shenanigans to evade potential FOIAs and cover up whatever they’re trying to cover up when “do[ing] business with some foreign leaders.” It’s all of government trying to do this.
As TechDirt points out, it wasn’t until 2014 that the DC Circuit Court finally ruled that city officials couldn’t use private servers to hide information from the public record anymore.
And as long-time Corbett Reporteers will remember, the FBI goes to remarkable lengths to create separate storage devices for investigatory material that they use to keep information from being FOIA-ed.
The point here is not in any way to exonerate Clinton, of course. She is vile, corrupt, a criminal, a neocon warmonger, and, oh yeah, a threat to all of humanity.
The point is that if the powers-that-shouldn’t-be truly don’t want you to know about a piece of sensitive information then it isn’t going to be available via FOIA.
But if you’re reading this, then you probably already knew that. And if you didn’t know it, maybe it’s time to put down The Washington Post and spend more time with the alt media.
Good Grief ! If This Is How Your ‘Friends’ Talk About You….
In one blunt 2014 email with Democratic donor Jeffrey Leeds, Powell had this to say of Clinton:
“I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect. A 70-year person with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy,not [sic] transformational, with a husband still d**king bimbos at home (according to the NYP).”

Obama has done such an excellent job cementing ties with our Allies. Come to think of it, do we have any Allies that he has not offended in some form or manner? Well, except for ISIS. And what was the name of our Former Sec. of State….she did a good job too as long as you contributed to her Foundation. 🙂

Yes, those copper based paints were taken off the market. But, pure copper blades should do the trick easily. Pure copper will hold up in salt water…I think. The copper based paints were highly effective against barnacles but, gradually dissolved. Instead of painting the hull every year I was able to go on a three year schedule.
Wow the Philippines turns towards China … Duterte got a screw loose?
Duterte Turns Back On US, Orders Philippines To Buy Weapons From Russia And China
While until now the verbal outbursts of the outspoken, “vulgar” Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte, who last week called president Obama a “son of a whore” (before he were mostly bark, and no bite, something changed yesterday.
In an abrupt departure from his nation’s longstanding military reliance on the U.S., Duterte said the Philippines would pursue “independent” foreign and military policies separate from US interests in the region, and ordered his defense secretary to seek weapons from suppliers in China and Russia to fight drug traffickers and insurgents. In another dramatic shift, the WSJ notes that the president also said Tuesday that the Philippines would stop patrolling the South China Sea alongside the U.S. Navy, to avoid upsetting Beijing. Instead, he said the nation’s military would focus on combating drugs and terrorism, handing a major diplomatic victory of Beijing and a symbolic loss to the US and its support of non-Chinese terrotorial claims to the South China Sea.

I wonder too if they made measures such as screens to protect sea life as well or will they get sucked into those blades. If they had to do maintance they’d have to turn them off and have enough power storage in the mean time.

How about Zyklon-B sprayed on GMO corn on the cob. That should bring in a billion or two.

Hang in there Wanka. There’s a cold virus that was going around close to school time. It makes me wonder if vaccines caused it. Kids are always getting sick now, go to school and there it is again. It messes with their immune systems. Then it spreads out to all public places. Plus some of those vaccines can cause shedding of the virus through coughing and sneezing. In Florida you have the Zika spraying too.

Obama is nothing but a race hating race baiting welfare king who inherited character flaws of both parents and doesn’t represent the best of either nationalitys. Another reason I hope Trump wins so we can stop this link to the WH for their personal gain that does nothing good for anyone but them, or some foreign or corporate agenda.

Sounds feasible although I seem to remember that some copper coatings have been outlawed?

Years ago we all painted our boat hulls with a copper based paint…result no marine fowling. Copper blades and copper exposed parts should solve that problem.

Good point! It doesn’t augur for a nicer less toxic world does it.

“i wonder how they are going to address the issue of marine fouling”
Fouling and corrosion that’s always been a big bugaboo regarding installations in the ocean. You’d think the maintenance costs would be astronomic. I don’t really know how they are going to deal with it. Robot scrubbers! Syrians in wetsuits!
“common core” LOL I think they’re trying to turn children into idiots.
ipso – Devil Gets Taken Out?
The chemical company Bayer invented the poisonous gas Zyklon-B. We might be going from bad to worst.
ipso, re scottish tidal energy farm
i wonder how they are going to address the issue of marine fouling. (barnacles, etc.)
also, there is a math problem:
“Each turbine is a weighty piece of mechanical engineering, measuring 15 meters tall and weighing 200 metric tons, with eight-meter-long blades.”
if the blades are eight meters how do they turn in a fifteen meter circle. even with no allowance for a hub, it would require sixteen meters. maybe they’re using common core math. god help them.
