He clued in the FBI and stopped the conspiracy. But as the OP shows, Pro-lifers don't give a rats ass about life. It's just virtue signaling for their cult.

A lot of this is a psy-op from Putin who doesn't care who gets hurt. That many countries have been successfully undermined by these programs, Putin is loving it. We spend trillions on our defense, but the way people have been manipulated here at home seems to be outside of their purview, and our big bad Defense Dept. pretends nothing is happening. Same thing for how the Republican Party has been savaged with Kompromat. When MSM has someone on who describes how the Russians have bought our politicians, the moderator distracts and downplays it. That's the CIAs Operation Mockingbird come back to life. I've lost three good friends to Putin/Trump/Fox. They've gone quite nuts and it's fruitless to have anything to do with them. They were constantly trying to convince me of the most idiotic horse shit. They may as well have been lobotomized for all the sense they're still able to muster. People aren't that sane to begin with, but with this constant propaganda blitz... They aren't just useless; they become rabid wackos. And it's all my fault if I don't buy RFK Jr.s bigoted BS.

My dad gave me a really nice gold-tone analog watch (~1978) which had radium-painted pips at the numbers and arms so it could be read in the dark. It even had an alarm feature. I was working in a lab with tritium and other radioactive tracking elements, so I had a Geiger-counter to check. Towards the wrist it wasn't too bad but facing out, the wand picked up a considerable amount of particle emissions. I worried about it a little bit. Then, while playing racketball, someone stole it out of my bag. I wasn't too sorry. I remember hearing stories of Japanese women falling ill who painted the radium on the watch pips. The story went that they licked the brush tip to sharpen it.

It is the puzzle of civilization that organizations like the Taliban behave so badly that they surely deserve to be cut down, but they manage to survive in the face of modern weaponry. As ugly as the Taliban are, supposedly civilized nations have their own Taliban that they can't figure how to put down. The sad truth is that much of the military is closer in its values to the Taliban. It is a paradox that we allow our own terrorists to dictate policy where they go after other terrorists, rather than ensuring the country and civilization move forward. A small percentage of our culture might be nominally sane, but by far, the inmates are running the asylum.

Opinion | Trump vs. Biden in 2024 could spawn a presidential legitimacy crisis - The Washington Post

racocn8 comments on Sep 10, 2023:

Contrary to the objections of GOP pundits, the 14th Amendment IS plainly applicable in THIS day and THIS time. The 14th amendment comes from the disgust at the racism and white supremacy that continued after the Civil War ended. Few would argue that Trump and MAGA seek to re-litigate the Civil War's ending, insofar as non-whites get to vote just like white folk. Trump inherited a KKK legacy from his father, and embraced it. No, the 14th Amendment is absolutely appropriate. It DOES apply, not just to Trump, but those who participated in Jan 6, including Wray, the Flynn brothers, the Congresspersons, and many others who help that happen. The real crisis of legitimacy derives from a political party whose presence exists entirely as a function of corruption: endless voter suppression, gerrymandering, intimidation, lynching, and all the other obscene tricks. AND, now, financial support from Russia, disinformation from Russia, and polarization from Russia. The GOP is now propped up by Russia, from Santos to DeSantis, from the NRA to Fox & 4chan.The GOP no longer seeks to govern, but seeks to dismantle the government for Russia's benefit. The GOP is a party of traitors, whether they admit it or not. That treason speaks clearly to the issue of sedition and the 14th Amendment. It also speaks to the pathetically ineffectual military establishment, which has stood back and watched as fascism has latched onto the GOP. The failure of the intelligence agencies to apprise the population of Russia's incursions cannot be excused.

The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy: And the Path to a Shared American Future by Robert P Jones

racocn8 comments on Sep 8, 2023:

The foundation of bigotry can be traced back to the first war. However, narrowing the focus, there is this content from Wikipedia under Pogroms. The first recorded anti-Jewish riots took place in Alexandria in the year 38 CE, followed by the more known riot of 66 CE. Other notable events took place in Europe during the Middle Ages. Jewish communities were targeted in England in 1189-90, during the Crusades and especially during the Black Death Jewish persecutions of 1348–1350, including in Toulon, Erfurt, Basel, Aragon, Flanders[16][17] and Strasbourg.[18] Some 510 Jewish communities were destroyed during this period,[19] extending further to the Brussels massacre of 1370. On Holy Saturday of 1389, a pogrom began in Prague that led to the burning of the Jewish quarter, the killing of many Jews, and the suicide of many Jews trapped in the main synagogue; the number of dead was estimated at 400–500 men, women and children.[20] Attacks against Jews also took place in Barcelona and other Catalan cities during the massacre of 1391.

Poor Gym Jordan.... [s3.documentcloud.org]

racocn8 comments on Sep 7, 2023:

While Willis deserves admiration for her service, her attempt to educate Jordan is surely useless. Jordan's actions demonstrate him to be an ignorant servile asshole devoid of the slightest shred of integrity. Revealing the identity of the programs that have meaning to Willis could never have a positive effect on Jordan's behavior, but rather provide him with a list of targets. That only means she is personally invested and that is normally a good thing. However, Jordan and the rest of the GOP caucus are monsters who only understand power and the threat of its use. If his attempt to interfere is illegal, she should probably have stuck to advising him of that, and how his document has been forwarded to the appropriate authorities. Indeed, I gather that Jack Smith has engaged additional staff to review Congressional malfeasance. May the wind be at his back...

racocn8 comments on Sep 5, 2023:

I have posted several times how reporting after Jan 6 included the Congresswoman's account of militia members held at gunpoint next to long guns (Rep. Veronica Escobar of Texas). With only one exception, the media (and the CIA) have conspired to keep the confiscation of these long rifles a secret from the public by giving it zero coverage. That militia were heavily armed means that Jan 6 events missed a mass casualty event by mere seconds. Now comes one serious repercussion. These militia members have been given much lighter sentences that the prosecution requested in part because of the claim that they were unarmed (based on the prosecutors ignorance of the gun confiscation event). This lie of omission also allows the GOP to maintain the insurrectionists were unarmed (Although the Jan 6 committee obtained a little bit of testimony that suggested weapons were present). In spite of the account by the Congresswoman, the deception that heavy firearms were recovered, kept secret, and no accounts have surfaced discussing what happened to the long guns nor which insurrectionists were intercepted with them. I have asked Katie Porter (in person) and Karen Bass about this and received no response. In one way Trump was right: We don't have a country anymore. From the article: "Escobar: I made my way from one side of the gallery to the other amid the “Get down! Take cover!” screams, and when we got there, we were again instructed to get down. I was watching the police officers with their guns pointed at the terrorists. I could see their faces through the broken glass on the door, and I remember feeling very afraid for the police because I thought they were going to get shot in the head. " "Escobar: I was in the last group to leave the gallery, along with Mikie Sherrill, because Pramila Jayapal was using a cane and we stayed behind to make sure she got out safe. I don’t remember there being a police officer there to escort us out. As we descended the stairs, going from the third floor to the second, I turned and saw men with long guns facedown on the floor and officers surrounding them with drawn guns. The men on the ground were looking right at us. It was just awful..." https://19thnews.org/2021/02/women-in-congress-capitol-riot/?=19th-social=facebook=social=IwAR1FBW_nVv9n3NgcYbn4s1wDjWvE8pp76Q3fZA-HY0yFdvnPFl3E-DuVUnY

Letters From An American 09/02/2023

racocn8 comments on Sep 4, 2023:

It is my understanding that: 1. The wealthy do not generate wealth as efficiently as those with more limited means. An economy with a sizable middle class is much more productive. 2. A majority of the wealth owned by the wealthy usually derives from corruption, theft, monopolistic overcharging and the like. 3. The vast bulk of wealth society now enjoys comes from technological innovation and invention, and that wealth almost never comes from the wealthy. Indeed, the fact that the innovators do not reap the rewards of their industry stifles inventiveness. Thus, in no way should the government protect the wealthy. The government's second task (after defending the country) should be to defend its society from the corruption that saturates the wealthy.

Dawk Richard Dawkins finds a circumstance for which he can recommend Christianity, and speaks ...

racocn8 comments on Aug 28, 2023:

The concept of Woke originated with the recognition of how pervasive bigotry shaped political doctrines (i.e. Jim Crow laws). The decimation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act reflects how this bigotry elected Trump who, in turn, installed stooges on SCOTUS. LBGTQ also suffer from bigotry, but the bigots have sought to focus on Trans. Thus, the concept of Woke only attains religious absurdity when one focuses on Trans. As a biological scientist, Dawkins may well opine that a physical genetic male that claims they are female are delusional. That was his point several years ago when he asked whether a "White" person could declare themselves to be "Black". Nuance admits that even people who are mostly "White" may be identified by others as "Black", just as intersex conditions blur the binary concept of sex. Pressure on AHA from certain Trans persons resulted in AHA clawing back an award they gave to Dawkins 20 years earlier. That and other sorts of harassment seems to have hardened Dawkins' position to where his compassion on this subject has been drained away. While understandable, it remains unfortunate. I suspect his age may have allowed himself to be taken advantage of by a demagogue interviewer. Seeing this, I worry that his detractors will pile on. He needs to hire a manager to protect himself. Dawkins makes an excellent comment in saying that while he supports a scientific worldview over religious worldviews, many peoples of the world lack the education or access to information that are needed to support the rejection of religion. (Naively...) He suggests that Christianity may be more benign than Islam in some regions and thus that the substitution of Christianity for Islam may be more feasible than converting them to atheism. The feasibility of belief substitution should not be used to argue against promoting truth over religious BS.

Just remember how many times the Christian Germans must have heard Schiller's poem in Ode to Joy on their radios. Then they supported Hitler's destruction of its neighbors and applied industrial means to murder those they deemed to be unwanted. O friends, not these tones! But let’s strike up more agreeable ones, And more joyful. Joy! Joy! Joy, beautiful spark of Divinity, Daughter of Elysium, We enter, drunk with fire, Heavenly one, thy sanctuary! Thy magic binds again What custom strictly divided; All people become brothers, Where thy gentle wing abides. Whoever has succeeded in the great attempt, To be a friend’s friend, Whoever has won a lovely woman, Add his to the jubilation! Yes, and also whoever has just one soul To call his own in this world! And he who never managed it should slink Weeping from this union! All creatures drink of joy At nature’s breasts. All the Just, all the Evil Follow her trail of roses. Kisses she gave us and grapevines, A friend, proven in death. Ecstasy was given to the worm And the cherub stands before God. Gladly, as His suns fly through the heavens’ grand plan Go on, brothers, your way, Joyful, like a hero to victory. Be embraced, Millions! This kiss to all the world! Brothers, above the starry canopy There must dwell a loving Father. Are you collapsing, millions? Do you sense the creator, world? Seek him above the starry canopy! Above stars must He dwell

Republicans no longer believe in the United States as a Democracy, and embraced an agent of a hostile foreign power as their flag-bearer. They have abandoned their legacy and shunned whatever honor they had as Americans.

I have pondered over this often

What sort of 'freethinker' reposts hate-mongering propaganda to get attention? He's a patriot alright - - for Russia. What kind of country can the US be where a third of its citizens gladly take their news from a foreign adversary and re-spew these lies as virtue signaling?

It would be so much better if you could include in your exhortations some hint of meaningful content. Without it, there's nothing worth reading and the annoyance invites blocking. If you're not serious about posting, spare the rest of us and write it in a private journal.

I'm betting most of us have seen how the 'polarization' of society is really the Right Wing becoming even more degenerate than they used to be. At this point, the notion that Christianity has any impact on behaving well and honorably is obviously horseshit. The idea that society needs religion to keep it acting in a civilized manner is now recognized as nonsense. Hitchens claim that one needs religion to lurch into depravity has been validated by Trump and his nitwits.

I fully understand that no one, when the original laws were written, could possibly have anticipated...

The attempted coup to overthrow the U.S. did not end on Jan. 6, 2021. Putin still wants it - - It's the only way he stays in power and bests China: take over the U.S. Just as Hitler allied with the corporations, Putin has allied with the GOP plutocracy, who gladly betrayed the country to keep their power. It is a new Axis of Evil that, frankly, includes the CIA, which is why it gets no coverage in the MSM.

racocn8 comments on Aug 20, 2023:

I know most people will get a laugh out of this one, but here goes anyway... The reason the intelligence community betrayed the country and allowed Trump to run and obtain power was because Hillary Clinton would have allowed Disclosure of UAP as aliens. Just as Kennedy was murdered for betraying the CIA, the CIA and NSA allowed the GRU and FBI to sabotage Hillary's campaign.

One of the problems is that the DOJ has decided not to pursue charges they (believe they) can't prove. Thus, while Trump committed numerous felonies in plain sight, he remains unindicted on those charges because within the protocols of a courtroom, conviction could be in doubt. The DOJ SHOULD be charging him ANYWAY. And they should have charged him with Obstruction as laid out in the Mueller probe. The DOJ HAS been weaponized, but not by the Democrats. When you hear that, it's actually the Republicans crowing that THEY'VE corrupted the DOJ. It is always projection...
