    I keep wondering why The New York Times reported the Harvey Weinstein story. NYT is a bastion of liberal hypocrisies. The story is not new or news to democrats, MSM or Hollywood.

    In fact this story is going to hurt Hollywood and the democrats.

    Harvey Weinstein was obviously not in on the plot as he is having public meltdowns and obliquely threatening his cohorts with exposure.

    Why the NYT ? Why now? Why a man who Obama’s daughter is interning under? A man photographed with all of the democrat bigwigs.

    Who is more powerful than Harvey Weinstein?

    Who is scrambling?

    Who suggested that Julian Assange is a Russian puppet?

    Who has really teed off Julian Assanage and suggest that the US just kill him with a drone?

    Who said If that f*cking b*strd wins we all hang from nooses!”

    What if, just what if what is coming out is so big that Hillary decided to sacrifice her good friend, Pervert Harvey, one of her cash cows as a diversionary tactic? Hillary is as married to money and power as Bill is to predatory sex outside of his marriage.

    Does anyone believe NYT would do this without the approval of their Godmother Hillary?

    Something is amiss.

    Tinfoil hats sometimes fit the occasion.

      Maybe Weinstein will blow the door open that Corey Feldman pointed at.

      That would be cool.

      Today I ran across a music YouTube entitled “Dostoevsky.” I’ll post it below. But that led to my looking up quotes by Fyodor Dostoevsky. These two are most apropos for Madame Clinton:

      “The man who lies to himself can be more easily offended than anyone else. You know it is sometimes very pleasant to take offense, isn’t it? A man may know that nobody has insulted him, but that he has invented the insult for himself, has lied and exaggerated to make it picturesque, has caught at a word and made a mountain out of a molehill–he knows that himself, yet he will be the first to take offense, and will revel in his resentment till he feels great pleasure in it.”

      “…the most offensive is not their lying—one can always forgive lying—what is offensive is that they lie and worship their own lying…”

      John Sokoloff, pianist ~ “Dostoevsky”

      I’ve prayed about this off and on for sometime, but last night I prayed fervently and plan to continue to do so, that God allows all the evil to be seen completely and it’s made very clear who exactly the enemies of our country are and they see justice. It really feels like the dam is beginning to burst and that’s a very good thing.

        I can’t agree more. I will continue to pray for that, too, Sand. Like I have for years.

        Corey Feldman pointed at a door. Someone, someday, will have the courage to open it for all to see. I think that many in the MSM, law, and politics, who know about that dark side of Hollywood, Politics and TV, are frequent guests behind that door.

        Whoever does this first — opens that door for all to see, in all it’s depravity, and names names — I will buy them a cheese pizza, from ever pizza place in my town. Because we need to make pizza great again.

      Good theory, she even tried to tie the President in with this scandal. Her world is definitely falling apart, was booed loudly somewhere across the pond this weekend. A drowning person will take anyone down with them as well.

      I believe the NYT figures this 800-pound gorilla’s still gaining weight. the Rat bigwigs are throwing him under the train (boy’s too big for a bus) and it just keeps growing so they can’t bury the story – let’s bury the Perv.
      Hollyork and their media supporters will form a tight 360 and pour suppressive fire on anyone who even comes close to them while they sacrifice the Perv. This guy’s potentially an iceberg in their path, they’ll damn him while their PR teams work overtime scrubbing and bleaching their images. “Look at Harvey, don’t look at me, and oh, look at that guy behind the tree!”

        As good a theory as mine. Do you think Harvey has no insurance? No concrete dirt to pull out on his old pals? Who knows maybe Harvey has dirt but the dirt that the other cockroaches have on him is worse dirt. If Harvey’s only crimes are against adult women he has to have far more demented stuff on his friends. Not belittling Harvey’s crimes he is grotesque.

        Something is going on maybe it is a pan fire while the rats steal the cheese. time will tell.

          Just because you take a gallon of water out of the Love Canal doesn’t make the rest of the toxic effluent Rocky Mountain spring water. Harv’s just one turd bobbing in the Hollyork punchbowl.
          The Hollywood and New York entertainment industries have been dens of depravity since day one, go back and see the stories on Hollyork depravity that were quashed for years.
          I believe Rock Hudson’s death was the pivot point. His handlers had built a carefully constructed phony life for him, he was even issued a wife and testosterone scented life story. Even though the stories of moral and criminal behavior by Hollyork elite had been around for years the fawning public was shocked to find he was gay and died of hiv/aids.
          at that point the spinmeisters went from hiding their foibles to outing them with a marching band, having the perp own them and seek forgiveness thru confession and expensive, exclusive and posh therapy. From slimeball to wasged in the blood of the lame in one fell swoop.
          You betcha Harv’s got the dirt on any number of other big-name pervs and perps. You can also betcha the pervs, perps and Harv have their respective spin and legal teams working 24/7 on CYA contingency plans.
          I’m looking at the Bill Cosby scenario of dragging this out so long that the public loses interest in the main issue, never mind peripheral ones. Some settlements and other amends are made to ‘A-list’ personalities, B-and lower list get squeezed and, if they balk, get labeled as liars trying to further their careers on Harv’s personal problems (sound familiar?).

            Little Michael Jackson was passed around, in the 60s. Like the Coreys were. Like Macauley Culkin was. Like the Olson Twins were, from almost toddlerhood. Used and used and used and used again and again and again.

            MK ULTRA is real. All those folks above went nuts, when they reached the age of reason and adulthood, because of what was done to them by their controllers and programmers.

            It’s why I don’t watch movies or TV any more… especially if it has kids in them.

            Hollywood and Disney need to die in a fire.

              And they want us to believe that none of the PDs in the Hollyork areas of influence knew anything.Then again these same Hollyork elite are above those simple meat puppets whose sole job is to adore and enable the broken gods and goddesses.
              Ask LEA, who’ve been assigned to provide security for Hollyork productions, parties or individuals, if they’ve been counciled to ignore recreational drug uses by their charges. Then ask if they’d ignore it if you did it. Of course this is all speculation, I have no firsthand knowledge of anyone ever asking a LEA officer to ignore drug use in any public or private setting…just saying.
              They ain’t you, they ain’t me, they’re special and exist on a plane waaaaaay above us.

                I’ve read accounts of NOLA PD standing back to back with drug dealers, while they deal.

                With NOLA and Vegas, the money is what matters. The casinos and tourism will be protected at all cost, by everyone in the city. Even the cops.

                I found this on CTH yesterday. Keep in mind, this is the Bellagio. A mile and a half from the Mandalay Bay. 45 minutes after the slaughter at the music fest. Not a damn thing in the news about this:

                This is buried. This is insanity. All of us know we’ve been lied to, at least since Trayvon Martin, and this is completely buried. The MSM and Government are getting better at this.

                I never thought I’d say “Thank God for YouTube.”

                (Actually I did. YouTube taught me how to build a concrete block foundation wall, and how to use epoxy tile grout, among many other things.)

                  If you are talking about the notorious Len Davis, NOPD officer who’s on death row for murder, yup. Davis got caught protecting drug dealers in an FBI undercover sting…wouldn’t have gone so bad for him had he not been caught ordering the murder of someone who filed a complaint against one of his officers over a FBI cell phone he was given.
                  Then there was Antoinette Franks who, with a relative, murdered her partner and a few others during a robbery she planned and carried out.
                  Eight other officers, if memory serves, were convicted of illegal drug activities with Len and heavens knows how many others were never found.
                  Yup, lotsa stuff gets buried, as do some folks who don’t go along with the narrative.

                  Maybe he still lives close enough to Chicago to effect his memory. Davis and Franks were big news around NOLA, both still pop up every now and then appealing this, that or the other. BTW, while digging around Antoinette’s house while searching for evidence they found her dad’s body buried his house – where she was living.
                  A lotta cities have their own stories, you gotta be close enough to hear them…if you really really want to.

                    If you’ve ever heard of officers strapping something around a guy’s ankles in January in sub zero weather and running a makeshift hose from his sink with cold water running through it onto him as he dangled about 200 feet from the ground until he told them where a little girl was located that is just folklore .

                    🙂

                    On a different note more folklore. Idiot cop (not my friend) decides to have a romp with his girlfriend in the back of his cruiser. Yep. He gets locked in.

                    I also dated a CPD for a while. No one in the above scenarios. Nice guy a bit overprotective and very intense.

                    NOPD went through a spate, as it does whenever the problems get to big to shove under the couch. About 100 or more officers were under investigation for the Davis incident, about 9 got taken to the woodshed.
                    I don’t count the minor peccadillos or the infrequent single-actor felonies though it’s been getting better over the years.

      I haven’t watched or read anything about the trial. I assumed that the prosecutor would be incompetent, ill prepared and almost apologetic for prosecuting a black man for setting a blonde haired, blue eyed white girl on fire. The sloven moronic, corrupt, sweaty, crew that we met when Jessica was first murdered let me know all I need to know about justice in that town.

      If a guilty verdict comes down I will believe that it is only because the juror’s minds were made up before the trial started not because the State put on a heartfelt, well litigated case.

      The shades of the “Deliverance” fire chief with the penis decoration pictures still gives me the willies.

      Not defending the defendant, I don’t even recall his name, I hope that he gets the death penalty. I read the some texts exchanged between him and Jessica and believe the man is guilty as he can be. Imagine what state of mind Jessica had been dwindled to in order for her to exchange sexual favors for a $6.00 Taco Bell meal. The whole thing makes me sick, including Jessica’s mother and father.

          Everyone in that place wants to sweep this under a rug, and it’s obvious.

          It would make a great television drama, if done accurately. So would the sagas of Mike “Gentle Giant” Brown and Trayvon Martin. If done accurately.

          I wish Sundance (apropos name?) would get with Vox Day and learn how to make media. Vox makes games, has produced albums, and owns Castalia House, a relatively new publishing house for books. He also made Gab happen. And Infogalactic.

          If anyone wanted to make movies about Mike Brown or Trayvon, SD would make bank.

    Wasn’t around for the beginning discussions here, but here’s a commentary from Sparta Gas that points out some more weirdness (CYA) in investigation. For me, it explained the money laundering aspect, which I didn’t understand, and the amount of $ involved to do so.

      As to the money, Feds have been stockpiling that data for decades. Thing is, people think that when a law’s passed that its scope is limited to what the law seems to say it is. No, simple as that. The professional bill writers in DC get together, at some level, with the agency supporting the bill. The agency’s lawyers get the language written so that when the agency wishes its lawyers can expand the scope of that agency’s powers under creative interpretations of said law. Look at what the ATF’s creatively done with a few seemingly narrow laws. Immediately after 911 when I was loaned to a Federal LEA I found individual financial data, tons of it, in their database. Seems they’d tied into the Treasury base using creative interpretations of the law to get access. This well predated the 911 paranoia laws that made any and everyone’s private life a Federal open book.

      Yes, that $10,000 thing does get you reported BUT the Feds, knowing that crooks would try to circumvent the law, twisted the financial institutions’ arms so that now they just go and report any unusual activity on your account – report it all and let the Feds sort it out. You get a $600 check electronically deposited into your account every two weeks….OK. Suddenly get a $1000 paper deposit into your account ar irregular intervals…you can bet it’s being reported. I get all electronic deposits from my retirement offices, like clockwork, but you can bet that large initial make-up check for my diasbility payment was reported even though it was from a Fed account. Don’t think that the system can be vthwarted by making a $9999.00 deposit, two $5000 deposits or 10,000 $1 deposits…they got it.

      As for asset forfeiture one of the main reasons that law was passed was to let local LEA share in the loot bounty. Local LEAs were cash-strapped and enforcing Fed laws was stretching already stretched budgets. Feds would zoom in with locals, bust a big operation and zoom out with the cash and goodies. This way the local LEAs could bulk up their resources. We had one Louisians sheriff on the LA-TX border who was infamous for stopping interstate drivers in nice cars, tossing your wallet and if what could argueably be thought to be more cash than a ‘regular’ citizen would be found…confiscating your cash and car as possible proceeds of illegal activities. You’d have to bail out and come back from wherever you lived, hire a lawyer and prove you got the cash and the car legally. Wasn’t unusual, especially if you were from far away, for the court to get you there and then issue a continuance a month or more away…more than once. After a while you had to make the choice of continuing to spend cash or just walk away and let the agency keep the stuff. Asset forfeiture made theft by government legal.

      What was DHS doing there? Among other things scent-marking territory. When DHS was created it was a chimera created by ducttaping other agencies together. Professional bureaucrats siezed the golden opportunity to take the fledgling agency’s amorphous charter and expand it, moving as far as they could into other agencies’ areas of responsibilty. By doing so they gradually expanded their ownership, sorta how that dog settles into your lap and expands into that chair. As their charter charges them with ‘preventing terrorist attacks within the United States, reducing America’s vulnerability to terrorism and minimizing the damages and recpovering from attacks that do occur’ their appearance at LV was a gimme. DHS, the FBI and FEMA have turf issues regularly; even though their respective turfs are fairly well defined there’s still enough grey area for pro bureaucrats to wriggle around in.

      Jes your Fedruh, local and state gummints at woik, bruh.

    It seems that after “Madam I’m not President” Clinton got booed in the UK that she also had a tumble and hurt her foot. She is now insure of she will be able to continue her UK tour.

    The former first lady was getting X-rays on Monday to examine the extent of her injury before deciding whether to continue her tour to promote “What Happened” or cancel her UK commitments, according to the Daily Mail.

      Yeah, spun the hell outta this one didn’t she…walking downstairs, in heels, talking over her shoulder. Aside from the too-close association with the old comparison of women dancin g backwatds in heels while men lead it sounds like a Stalin-era propaganda piece on hoe she’s really a ‘mature’ superwoman. What’s next, a pic of her with rolled upsleeves helping bundle grain with the oppressed peasants in innercity Atlanta?

        Don’t forget carrying a cup of coffee. What a lying oaf she is. I bet there isn’t a single picture of Hillary carrying her own coffee from the last 5 years.

        And how does one break their toe falling backwards or forwards on stairs and not have any scruff marks? More likely she was drunk off her Gourd and kicked a baby or puppy and her follow through connect with a hard item.

    Stella, I hope you’re getting some money for these ads we’re forced to watch, now.

    If not, you need to get a lawyer, contact WordPress via said lawyer, and say “Gimme money.”

    My little mind is confused. I watched a joint US-Brit program on climate change. The talking heads were saying how every few millenia the world goes into an ice age which disrupts/destroys civilization and much of the flora and fauna and we’re due/overdue.Now our civilization’s actions over the last few hundred years seems to have upset the balance, the ice is melting and those thousands of feet thick sheets slinking towards destroying us are not coming.
    Have I missed something? Three hundred years, at best, of carbon-based fuel burning and deforestation have stopped a millions-of-years old cycle dead in its tracks? There’s something bad about delaying the onrush of ice and giving the human race a few more centuries to find another neighborhood to screw up? Mankind has become more powerful than nature? Ow, my head hurts.

    I received an answer from Col. Ken this afternoon, and he gave me permission to share it with all of you. It isn’t good news, I’m afraid, and he is asking for prayer from our group.

    Stella, I have been hospitalized in Pgh since 7 Oct. On my way home today. The diagnosis is Liver cancer.
    My radiation treatments will start within 2 weeks. It’s going to be a long year.
    Hopefully I be able to comment once in a while.
    I will follow along as best I can.
    Thank you.
    Ken

    and …

    the Power of prayer will re enforce me and will help me to overcome this.
    Thank you……
    Col Ken

    lilbirdee12’s prayer:

    Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.

    Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.

    Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.

    Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
    Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.

    We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
    Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.

    And, Lord, we pray for all the people who have been affected by the earthquakes and hurricanes.

    In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
