I hope everyone is do good and enjoying the weather even though we have had some really warm days. We are suppose to get some rain this weekend so stay dry. Here are your questions.
1) Would you rather rain or the naughty S word?
2) Have you had the chance to get your car washed?
3) Are you having a hard time getting around because of all the stupid construction?
4) Do you agree we have two seasons construction and winter?
Authored by Paul Joseph Watson via Summit.news, “Something much bigger is behind this" Conservative commentator Ann Coulter says that sex trafficker
Jeffrey Epstein had a “state sponsor” backing him and that his
operation was a way to blackmail powerful men.
During an appearance on 790 KABC, Coulter suggested that Epstein is merely the front man for a far more powerful network.
“Epstein according to both the girls accounts, he wanted them to have sex with powerful men, come back to him and report on it,
describe what they wanted what their fetishes were and he had cameras
throughout the house so this is obviously for blackmailing purposes,”
said Coulter.
“It just seems to me something much bigger is behind this — perhaps a state sponsor — powerful enough people...
...it just seems to me there’s something a very powerful force behind what’s going on here and I am still nervous about this not coming to a conclusion, somehow this getting compromised,” she added.
Coulter said that it remained a mystery as to how Epstein became a billionaire and that the source of his money should be investigated.
Former President Bill Clinton attempted to distance himself from
Epstein last night, claiming he only flew on the infamous ‘Lolita
Express’ private jet four times despite flight logs showing at least 26
trips.
As we reported yesterday, speculation is swirling that Epstein may give up names of influential people who used his network in order to secure a maximum prison sentence of no more than five years.

So my time is tight on this page, but I do want to thank the
Democrats for choosing to have their big honking convention pow-wow in
Our Town next summer, so that I can be nominated for president right
here in my own hometown. That’s very thoughtful, and I do appreciate it.
Cripes, I can walk down to the Fiserv, accept the nomination, speechify
a bit, head over to the Uptowner tavern/charm school to have a couple,
three, then get home and sleep in my own bed focking free of charge.
That’s what I call a full day, I kid you not.
Now, about Trumple-thinskin’s jewel of a July 4 speech and how our
Revolutionary War army took over the airports to help us turn the tide,
I’m reminded of the words of the late, great philosopher and sage,
George Gobel: “If it weren’t for electricity, we’d all be watching
television by candlelight.” So true, ain’a?
It’s too bad the Orange Man’s teleprompter apparently went kaput at
some point, because I was waiting for him to talk about when George
Washington telephoned President Ben Franklin to see if he could enlist
the aid of some of the dinosaurs known to frequent the area to help
stomp the British bastards into submission.
Oops! I hear Ernie honking the horn, which means I’ve got to go, but I’ll leave you with a little summertime story: So this priest, a doctor and a lawyer by the name of William Barr
are out trying to enjoy a nice round of golf at the club, but the
groups in front of them are really, really slow. The priest, doctor and
the lawyer by the name of William Barr get to the second hole and
they’ve got to wait 20 minutes to tee off. Third hole, they’re waiting
another 20 minutes. Fourth hole, same thing. Fifth hole, the wait is up
to a half-hour and now they’re getting good and ticked off and begin to
shout all kinds of insults toward the group in front of them—some of
which couldn’t be printed in a goddamn family focking newspaper, I kid
you not. This goes on for another couple, three holes—slow play, insults,
slow play, heated invective—until the course marshal approaches the
priest, doctor and the lawyer by the name of William Barr and says, “I’m
sorry gentlemen, if I neglected to tell you, but I ask you for a little
patience since today we have an outing for blind golfers.” Right there and then, the priest drops to his knees and commences
to bewail how badly he feels for getting so angry, how one of his
parishioners is blind and has the sweetest biggest heart in the world,
how this blind guy always volunteers for the church’s annual cook-out
for orphans. Then the doctor chimes in with how he has a blind uncle who
helped support him through medical school and so must go apologize at
once to the group in front of them for his rude behavior. And the lawyer by the name of William Barr says, “You got to be
jerking my beefaroni. They’re blind!??! What the fock, they could’ve
played last night.”
Ba-ding! And au revoir, ’cause I’m Art Kumbalek and I told you so.
Ahead
of the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee, virtually all
Democratic presidential candidates have expressed their support for the
legalization of cannabis, a new stance for most of them. Just a few
years ago, only a select few were championing cannabis, the first of
whom was Bernie Sanders.
As early as 1972, Sanders was already standing up to support rights
for American citizens to consume marijuana. Following his bid for
governor of Vermont, he wrote it plainly in an article:
“‘Could I ask Mr. Sanders if he has ever smoked marijuana?’ Strangely
enough, despite all the times that I had talked about the need for
legalizing marijuana, that was the first time that question was ever
directly asked of me. I said, ‘Yes, I have smoked marijuana.’” For
decades, Sanders was the only one, among the current roster of
Democratic presidential hopefuls, to stand up for marijuana through
initiatives like co-sponsoring a medical marijuana bill as early as 1996.
It wasn’t before the early 2000s that others offered tentative
support for cannabis reform—Cory Booker, Mike Gravel and Beto O’Rourke,
specifically. Then, as the 2016 presidential election loomed and polls
reported that 50% of Americans were in favor of cannabis reform, more
and more politicians started coming out in favor of it. Steve Bullock
and Eric Swalwell were among the first to express support, years before
Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris did. Medical Marijuana, Inc. (MJNA), a marijuana and hemp company, recently revealed a timeline and guide of
the presidential candidates’ stances on marijuana. It clearly shows
that, after Donald Trump’s victory in 2016, the floodgates opened, and a
tidal wave of support for marijuana reform hit the Democratic Party.
The political trend seems to closely follow the changing opinion of the
American people on the matter. Gallup polls report that support for marijuana legalization reached an all-time high of 66% at the end of 2018.
Jeffrey Epstein has been arrested for allegedly sex trafficking
dozens of minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005,
according The Daily Beast.
Epstein is reportedly due to appear in court on Monday, about 12 years
after the 66 year old received a slap on the wrist for allegedly
molesting dozens of underage girls.
The new charges claim that “Epstein sexually exploited dozens of
underage girls in a now-familiar scheme: paying them cash for
‘massages’ and then molesting or sexually abusing them in his Upper East
Side mansion or his residence in Palm Beach.”
The woman was among dozens of people on Friday searching for lost
items at Navy Pier in the aftermath of a chaotic end to Chicago’s
annual fireworks show.
On the verge of tears, she explained to staffers at the pier’s
lost-and-found that she was scheduled to fly to New York and needed the
identification she had lost Thursday night when word of an active
shooter spread through crowds pouring out of the pier’s Fourth of July
celebration, causing panic and pandemonium.
Witnesses said cries from young children pierced the air. Parents
desperately searched for lost children. Hostesses in a nearby restaurant
hid under tables. Some people even tried to hide in a freezer and
storage area at the restaurant, according to two servers who work there.
We heard, but can't confirm, that they charged people for parking,
again, to pick up their stuff. How many dozens of thousands of people
went home and told all their friends about their "wonderful" experience
at Navy Pier this holiday and swore to never set foot in the city again?
Special Ed and Fred Waller were the usual political toadies:
Amid the commotion, private security officers assigned to the
event signaled a possible active shooter threat and began telling the
crowd to take shelter, inciting a “stampede-like” scenario, said Chief
of Patrol Fred Waller. At least 17 people were injured, and 31 juveniles
were arrested on disorderly conduct-related charges, police said.
“I was there personally, and I can tell you things were very chaotic,”
Waller told reporters. “In the end, there was never an active shooter,
and no one was shot.”
Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson was reluctant to criticize the
private security guards for apparently sparking the chaotic scene,
saying, “We want to err on the side of caution.” He said he planned to
talk with them.
Who has the politically connected contract for the Metropolitan and Pier
Exposition Authority grounds? And how many ex-exempt members of the CPD
are working there as we speak? Media trolls - are you asking these
questions?
We're going to have to give credit for this one to all sorts of people,
starting with Rahm, and continuing through Crimesha, Tommy, Timmy, Toni,
Special Ed, with special appearances by Shortshanks and Groot, seeing
as how the buck stops there.
Jeffrey
Epstein has been arrested for allegedly sex trafficking dozens of
minors in New York and Florida between 2002 and 2005, according The Daily Beast.
Epstein is reportedly due to appear in court on Monday, about 12 years
after the 66 year old received a slap on the wrist for allegedly
molesting dozens of underage girls.
The new charges claim that "Epstein sexually exploited dozens
of underage girls in a now-familiar scheme: paying them cash for
'massages' and then molesting or sexually abusing them in his Upper East
Side mansion or his residence in Palm Beach."
Epstein's abuse allegations date back more than a decade and have
been recently brought to light by his victims and authorities. Up until
now, and even in the midst of the #MeToo movement, Epstein has been able
to avoid any type of meaningful jail time.
In an era where #MeToo has toppled powerful men, Epstein’s name was largely absent from the national conversation, until the Miami Heraldpublished a three-part series on
how his wealth, power and influence shielded him from federal
prosecution. For years, The Daily Beast reported on Epstein’s easy jail
sentence and soft treatment by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which ultimately scrapped a 53-page indictment against
Epstein. An earlier version of Epstein’s plea deal included a 10-year
federal sentence—before his star-studded lawyers threatened to go to
trial in a case prosecutors feared was unwinnable, in part because
Epstein’s team dredged up dirt on the victims, including social media
posts indicating drug use.
Employees and associates of Epstein allegedly recruited the girls for
Epstein, and some victims also became recruiters themselves. The girls
were as young as 14 and police allege that Epstein knew they were
underage. Epstein's attorney, Martin Weinberg, declined to comment
Saturday night.
Epstein has been accused of transporting young women on his private
jet to facilitate the abuse, according to his alleged victims. For more
background on the allegations already made in lawsuits, and in the
public domain against Epstein, read the full Daily Beast article here.
Recall, back in 2017, we wrote about former
secret service agent Dan Bongino threatening to reveal new details
about Bill Clinton’s 26 documented trips aboard notorious pedophile
Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, nicknamed the “Lolita Express."
Bongino dropped a ominous-sounding threat at the time: “...people
know things not yet released publicly about your messiah Hillary. Don’t
poke the bear loser, you may not like the results. #Epstein #EmailGate,”
tweeted Bongino.
For those who are unfamiliar with his story, Jeffrey Epstein is a New
York City financier who pled guilty in 2008 to a single count of
soliciting sex from an underage girl. He eventually spent 13 months in
prison and was forced to register as a level three sex offender
(considered the highest risk of re-offending) though stories of his lust
for girls as young of 12 have spread like wildfire in recent years.
Epstein allegedly installed beds in his custom jet, and also
purportedly filmed powerful men during romps with underage girls to
obtain materials for blackmail.
The UK has been accused of brazen hypocrisy after raising concerns about
the state of democracy and human rights in Hong Kong, a former British
colony once ruled by unelected colonial governors. Beijing denounced
British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt as “shameless,” after Hunt
declared that the UK would “stand behind the people of Hong Kong in
defense of [their] freedoms” amid protests over a controversial
extradition law with China.
The British haven’t always been so concerned about “protecting
democracy” in Hong Kong, however. Before the city was handed over to
China in 1997, Hong Kong was a British colony and administered by an
unelected, and always British, governor.
The glaring double-standard is clearly hypocritical, former US diplomat Jim Jatras told RT.
I’m sad to say that not only the British but the American and most other
Western governments – ‘hypocrisy’ should be part of the official title
of how they conduct their affairs, how they deal with human rights
issues at home, and then how they will use any pretext to support things
like color revolutions.
The British are currently ruled by the unelected European Commission and
they never allowed elections in Hong Kong while they ruled it. Why on
Earth should China, or anyone else, pay any attention to their pious
virtue-signaling now?
From: http://voxday.blogspot.com/2019/07/the-hypocritic-bankruptcy-of.html This post reminds me of two things at least.
1) No one seems to be able to mind their own business anymore. The
West seems to be full of sanctimonious busybodies.
2) Democracy is the worst form of government. Look what it has done to the USA.
Update (0945ET): California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency for San Bernardino County following the 7.1-magnitude quake, establishing emergency shelters and directing state agencies to assist.
Friday's earthquake lasted around 10 seconds longer than the Fourth
of July earthquake in Searles Valley. According to the US Geological
Survey, it was followed by at least 16 aftershocks of magnitude 4 or greater. The agency has warned of a 50% chance of another magnitude 6 quake in the coming days, and a 10% chance of a magnitude-7 tremor in the next week.
The 39-year old son of the ruler of Sharjah — part of the United Arab Emirates — was found dead in London this week following what multiple reports described as a "drug-fueled orgy" in an £8-million Knightsbridge penthouse.
Sheikh Khalid bin Sultan Al Qasimi, 'crown prince' of the UAE's
Sharjah emirate, was laid to rest at a funeral service Wednesday
attended by UAE dignitaries and his father, Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad
Al Qasimi, but soon after staff at the London-based fashion house that
Khalid founded began revealing more details of the prince's extreme
playboy lifestyle which reportedly led to his tragic death. The crown prince threw wild drug-fueled parties and was often seen with models and celebrities, via The Daily Mail
The Sun was the first to report earlier this week that Sheikh Khalid
"may have died suddenly as a result of taking drugs" after police found
an as yet unknown amount of Class A drugs at his apartment after medics
were called. 'Class A' drugs include anything from crack cocaine to ecstasy to heroin, LSD, to crystal meth and others.
The Sheikh was well known in wealthy London social circles as frequently hosting meth-fueled orgies filled with high-class prostitutes, according to UK media, and was known for partying "days on end".
A staff member at the Qasimi Homme menswear brand the prince had founded told The Daily Mail:
"He enjoyed meth because it allows you to have sex for longer.
It was the worst-kept secret in the office, he had a real soft spot for
that drug. We always knew that he'd been taking it because he'd come
into work in a particularly bad mood. His behaviour would be really erratic."
The UAE crown prince of Sharjah at a London Fashion Week event, via The Daily Mail.
"On the whole, he was a nice guy, tough but fair but when he'd been up for several days at one of those parties, he could become quite a monster," the source said of the prince's party lifestyle.
The Westminster coroner's office indicated in a statement that
toxicology tests could take months as the crown prince was laid to rest
in the United Arab Emirates. Via
The Daily Mail: "The Knightsbridge Apartments where the prince was
found dead on Monday after a party where guests allegedly took Class A
Drugs."
The popular prince was buried at King Faisal Mosque in Sharjah, which is the city his father rules over in the UAE.
Sadly, his brother - who had originally been in line to succeed his
father as ruler of Sharjah - had also died of a party-lifestyle in 1999
at the age of 24. He'd been found at the royal family’s £3 million
English manor house in Sussex, which resulted in Khalid being named
crown prince. Via The Sun (UK)
A female staff member who worked closely with the prince told The Daily Mail: "As you can imagine, Khalid
was very popular given the amount of money he had and the type of
people he knew. There was no shortage of women after him."
"But he always treated his female staff with respect. He was an
incredibly hard worker and very driven, but he also partied very hard.
It's sad, because that's what killed him in the end," she added.
And another staff member, speaking anonymously to the Mail, backed up others' testimony related to his erratic drug-induced mood swings:
Khalid could become very unpredictable and we always knew to stay away from him after one of his famous parties. He was the boss so we couldn't really complain to him.
The source followed with: "It
was mainly his friends and business associates who were invited to the
parties, never us. We just heard about what happened at them."
And another had been quoted in The Sun as follows: “Like many young Arab men, Sheik Khalid enjoyed the freedoms he had in London. But it has ended very tragically.” UAE Emirs at the burial Sheikh Khalid on Wednesday, via The Daily Mail
Though expected to eventually ascend the throne as Emir of the
Emirate of Sharjah after his father, Khalid had lived in Britain since
the age of nine, and pursued a fashion career.
He was also known for pursuing architecture and as an award-winning
photographer, and was close to London's business and celebrity elite.
Good morning everyone I am sorry this is being posted late. I actually was able to get some sleep this morning since Drew has a four day weekend. I hope everyone has been enjoying their 4th of July weekend. Here are your questions.
1) With it being warm out are you using a fan or a/c to keep cool?
2) Do you go to a lake or pool to go swimming?
3) When was the last time you have been swimming?
4) With the weather we have been having would you like it a little cooler?
Fire destroys Jim Beam warehouse, bourbon flows into river
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — A fire
destroyed a massive Jim Beam warehouse filled with about 45,000 barrels
of aging bourbon in Kentucky, and state officials worried that runoff
whiskey seeping into nearby waterways would kill fish.
Firefighters
from four counties responded to the blaze that erupted late Tuesday. It
sent flames shooting into the night sky and generated so much heat that
firetruck lights melted.
Lightning
might have been a factor, but fire investigators haven't been able to
start looking for the cause, Woodford County Emergency Management
Director Drew Chandler said.
The
warehouse was a total loss. Looking to reassure consumers of Jim Beam
bourbon, Beam Suntory indicated it amounted to a drop of the iconic
brand's total aging inventory.
No injuries were reported, Chandler said. The fire was contained but was allowed to burn until midday Wednesday, he said.
"The
longer it burns, the more of the distilled spirits burn with it," he
said in a phone interview. "So when they go to put it out, there will be
less contaminated runoff that goes into a drinking-water tributary."
By
Wednesday afternoon, firefighters were dousing the warehouse's charred
remains with water to try to extinguish the fire, Chandler said. As they
kept working, the focus turned to the environmental impact of the
leaking bourbon.
The distiller
hired an emergency cleanup crew and state environmental officials were
coordinating efforts to control bourbon runoff into a nearby creek that
flows into the Kentucky River, said John Mura, a spokesman for the
Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet.
"We do know there has been runoff enter the creek," Mura said. "And it has made its way into the Kentucky River."
The
runoff could have a "serious impact on aquatic life," he said. Runoff
is expected to create "low dissolved oxygen levels," which could result
in substantial fish kills, the agency said in a release.
State
officials warned recreational users on the Kentucky River that runoff
will result in water discoloration, foaming and an odor.
Beam Suntory officials said they are working with authorities to assess environmental effects.
The
distilling company said the multi-story warehouse that burned contained
"relatively young whiskey," meaning it had not reached maturity for
bottling for consumers. Bourbon acquires its color and flavor while
aging for years in charred new oak barrels.
"Given
the age of the lost whiskey, this fire will not impact the availability
of Jim Beam for consumers," the spirits company said in a statement.
Hello, my loves. How are you? It's been almost three weeks since we've last met. That's too far back for me to remember. Did I have any notable food? That I should remember. Oh my, I sound like a pig. Oink-oink. I'll be Madame Oinktar. When you call your pigs, I come running. Oh dear, now I've really lost it.
There, I got that out of my system. The cold, damp spring we had and the hot, damp summer that we're having make it difficult to do yard work. Fishing comes to mind. But I don't like to fish all that much. If I catch anything, I always turn it loose. I'm the same way about punishing Junior. I'm a pushover. No one forgives faster than me. No one forgets faster, either.
As you well know, I've spent the last two weeks tending to Mr. OrbsCorbs' wounds. He had surgery, the incision is near his crotch, the swelling has been dreadful. His entire leg balloons up and he says it's very painful. I've administered some of my pain relief and grow well products to him, but Vicodin seems to be the only thing that cuts the mustard. When he's on Vicodin, he's happy and easy to get along with. When he's not, he's not.
---------------
O.o Look at the time. I thought today was Tuesday. I have a lot of catching up to do. Even though this blog entry is only half-baked, I'm posting it. Sorry, I hope to have a better blog for you next week. I love you all.
I’m Art Kumbalek and man oh manischewitz what a world,
ain’a? So listen, I don’t have time to pony up a big honking essay for
you’s this week, and I’ll tell you why.
What with the Democratic debates underway, I need time to be mulling
who I’d fancy as No. 2 on the Kumbalek president ticket. I also need
time to ponder whether or not I’d consider the No. 2 spot on somebody
else’s focking ticket. If I did, I can promise I’d provide a heap of
contrast to that of former V.P. Dick “Head” Cheney during my
vice-presidential reign. I’d restore the American people’s faith in the
belief that the vice-presidency is a do-nothing position, which would also contrast with V.P. Pence’s know-nothing
approach. I could aspire to nothing more than sitting on my dupa and
collecting my big-ass veep paycheck; although, I may consent to attend
the occasional fancy-schmancy state dinner for some semi-leader from
some godforsaken part of the planet who had come a’ calling looking for
an Uncle Sam handout.
And so best I meet up with my campaign brain trust, huddled as we
speak, over at the Uptowner tavern/charm school over by the Center &
Humboldt there. Tag along if you like, but you cover the first round.
Let’s get going. Emil: Any you’s guys know what “ramparts” are? Julius: Yeah, ram parts. That’s what they stuff in those sandwich gyros down at the Greek place, ain’a? Emil: That can’t be right. I’m talking “ramparts,”
like in the song you sing at the ballpark, what-you-call, “My Country
’Tis of Thee.” Little Jimmy Iodine: Any you’s guys coming by me for the Fourth? I got to know how many wieners I got to get. Ernie: I wish, but no. I got to go by my sister’s up there in Bumfock Washington County ’cause the nephew’s marching in the parade. Herbie: I feel for you, Ernie. Those high school
focking marching bands. there’s not a song been written that those
uniformed gangs of pimply faced masturbators with their blaring
blugelhorns can’t slaughter, ain’a? Ray: And speaking of bumfock… Little Jimmy Iodine: Hey, Artie! Over here. Put a load on your keister. Art: Hey gents, what do you hear, what do you know. Julius: I know that if either Trump or his Korean
boy-toy pay more than a buck-two-eighty for a haircut, they’re getting
big-time screwed. Art: So, you’s guys dream up some ideas for my campaign ads yet? Little Jimmy: I don’t know what kind of president
ads you should have that people will pay attention to. The only thing
that sells on TV is sex and the violence, I hear. Herbie: So what’s the problem? Here’s the TV spot I
got in mind: You have Artie dressed up like Uncle Sam wearing a Packer
jersey walking down a rain-slicked street. On either arm he’s escorting a
lady, and I say they be gorgeous Vegas showgirls to represent the
yearnings of the working-class male voter. Out of the dark, four
middle-aged white guys in suits show up. They look like fat-cat donor
lobbyists who just got expensive haircuts, what the fock. They start
messing with the ladies, waving big wads of cash and talking Tea Party
shit. Artie excuses himself to the ladies and proceeds to kick the
ever-loving crap out of this gang of four, and to drive home the
message, then pistol-whips the quartet into unconsciousness. As the sun
cracks the horizon and birds start a’ chirping, each gal lip-locks a
Kumbalek cheek as Artie stares into the camera and says, “I’m fighting
them so you don’t have to. Like it—or lump it.” Art: Abso-focking-lutely, Herbie. In 30 seconds,
I’ve reached three important voting blocs. One: the WrestleMania crowd
who go for action, admire hotsy-totsy ladies and always root for the
good guy to come out on top. Two: the ladies who feel safer having the
government as protector rather than corporate-style clowns who believe
equal-pay for equal-work is about as feasible as bicycles for fish. And
three: the gun crowd who’d understand I was no candy-ass when it came to
preserving the honor and well-being of my cherished ones. Ernie: Now all you need is a good overall slogan, something strong yet focking personal. Little Jimmy: Mister Truman had “Give ’em Hell, Harry!” How ’bout for you Artie, a nice simple “Go to Hell!”? Art: It’s direct, all right. Ray: How about “Go to Hell, Artie!” It’s always more effective to work the name of the candidate into the slogan, what the fock. Art: True, but I think you just came up with a
slogan for the voting public to use, a slogan that could never become
yesterday’s news, a slogan for all seasons: “Go to Hell, (Insert Name of Republican Candidate Here)!”
(It’s getting late and I know you got to go, but thanks for letting
us bend your ear, ’cause I’m Art Kumbalek and I told you so.)
A man accused by police of feeding methamphetamines to his pet squirrel to make him an "attack squirrel" has been arrested.
Police officers in Alabama had been looking for Mickey Paulk for nearly two weeks.
Paulk,
who had been hiding in a hotel, was arrested on Thursday after he
attempted to flee from drug investigators on a stolen motorcycle,
according to police. He crashed into an investigator's vehicle after a
brief pursuit, police said.
The
case against the 35-year-old Alabama man escalated June 17 when
narcotics investigators executed a search warrant "that yielded meth,
drug paraphernalia, body armor and a squirrel."
Anti-China
protestors in hard hats and umbrellas stormed Hong Kong's Parliament on
Monday, ripping down portraits, tagging walls and tying the flag of
British Hong Kong to the podium in anger over Hong Kong's recent attempt
to change extradition laws for China.
(Published Monday, July 1, 2019)
"Prior
to the search warrant, investigators were informed that Mickey Paulk
kept an 'attack squirrel' inside his apartment, and that Paulk fed the
squirrel meth to keep it aggressive," the Limestone County Sheriff's
Office in Athens, Alabama, said in a statement.
Paulk wasn't home, however. The search for the squirrel's owner was on.
Italians are reeling from the revelation that a crime ring, which
includes a mayor, doctors and social workers, had been brainwashing
children to say their parents abused them, so as to easily sell them on
to foster families.
So far eighteen people, including the mayor of the town of Bibbiano, near Reggio Emilia in northern Italy, have been arrested.
They were suspected of working together to brainwash the kids, who were
taken from disadvantaged families under false pretexts, into believing
they’d been abused at home. This was later used as a justification to
seize the children and, basically, to sell them to foster parents at a
high price.
The psychologists at the Hansel and Gretel Association in the town of
Moncalieri, near Turin, have used a variety of bizarre techniques to
achieve their sinister goal.
They relied on persuasion to make their victims believe that their
parents hurt and sexually abused them; showed fake, childlike drawings
with added sexual details and even enacted plays, dressing up in scary
masks to represent their moms and dads as being vile and dangerous....
The people to whom the boys and girls were handed over reportedly
included sex shop owners, persons with psychological disorders and
parents whose children had committed suicide. It was under this ‘foster
care’ that at least two of the victims suffered actual sexual abuse,
according to reports.
The criminal organization was busted by police as part of an operation
codenamed “Angels and Demons,” which was launched in late summer 2018
after an unnaturally high number of child sex abuse reports were spotted
as coming from an area in the Reggio Emilia province. Those arrested,
as well as 27 others under investigation, have been charged with
mistreatment of minors, violence, abuse of office, fraud and falsifying
public records.
It appears that 30 children were kidnapped under color of law. The
primary difference is that in the USA and Canada, the people running
these child trafficking rings never seem to get exposed or arrested.
Every crime is always portrayed as some sort of one-off committed by a
sicko; all the evidence that the crimes are organized by authority
figures is dismissed as conspiracy theory. Just ask Jordan Peterson.
The Italians, however, are taking this case very seriously. The Deputy
Prime Minister and Minister of the Interior Matteo Salvini has announced
the commissioning of a federal inquest to investigate a child
trafficking ring that is very reminiscent of the "Veleno" case of twenty
years ago, when 17 children from two other towns near Reggio Emilia
were removed from their families by the local authorities under
similarly dubious circumstances.
The children-loving Italians are taking this news with their usual
equanimity, of course. I've seen more than a few calls for the death
penalty.

6-14... being abuse all the time...I was being molested....people have

that everyone around me saw and did nothing."
Yes, Pedowood is real.

might freak you out. If what some experts are telling us is true, a
global food crisis appears to be inevitable. Even during good
years we have a really difficult time feeding everyone on the planet,
and now a major climate shift appears to be happening. Our sun has become exceedingly quiet,
and many experts believe that this is a sign that a solar minimum is
now upon us. Of course we have seen solar minimums happen quite
regularly in the past, and if this is just a normal solar minimum then
conditions should begin to return to normal after a couple of years.
Unfortunately, evidence continues to mount that we have entered what is
known as a “grand solar minimum”. In fact, Professor Valentina Zharkova
says that what we are facing is a “super grand solar minimum”, and if that is true we are going to be facing climate chaos like we have never seen before.
During previous “grand solar minimums” the globe was gripped by
devastating famines and vast numbers of people died. Could a similar
scenario potentially be in our future?
Ice Age Farmer has compiled a “Grand Solar Minimum Crop Loss Map” which you can view right here, and I appreciate our friends at ANP for pointing it out to us. Ice Age Farmer’s map shows that there
are literally dozens of locations all over the globe right now that are
reporting significant crop losses, and this is really unlike anything
we have ever seen before. Some parts of our planet are dealing
with horrific drought, but in the middle of the United States it just
won’t stop raining. In some areas of the world it is too cold, while
others are experiencing record heat. Everywhere we look we see extremes, and the behavior of our sun is the primary reason this is happening.
Last November I warned that we could be facing one of the coldest
winters in modern times, and that is precisely what happened. Back then
top scientists were warning us that a solar minimum had arrived, and since that time the behavior of the sun has continued to confirm that hypothesis…
The surface of the sun is normally a roiling, super-heated hellscape. But Nasa images have revealed that the face of our star is looking ominously calm right now, prompting claims it’s reached a stage of its cycle called the solar minimum.
During the minimum, there are significantly fewer sunspots and its
magnetic field weakens, allowing cosmic rays from outside our solar
system to rain down on Earth.
This solar minimum came early, and that is exactly what we would
expect if we were entering a “grand solar minimum”. Perhaps the best
known “grand solar minimum” in our history was the Maunder Minimum which stretched from 1645 to 1715…
The last time a deep solar minimum was in effect was the Maunder
minimum, which saw seven decades of freezing weather, began in 1645 and
lasted through to 1715, and happened when sunspots were exceedingly
rare.
During this period, temperatures dropped globally by 1.3 degrees
celsius leading to shorter seasons and ultimately food shortages.
The food shortages during the Maunder Minimum were quite severe, and the global death toll was enormous.
Could we be facing a similar scenario this time around?
Actually, economist Martin Armstrong seems to believe that it could be even worse…
The Maunder Minimum created such a deep cold in Europe and extreme
weather events elsewhere that what unfolds is a series of droughts,
floods, and harvest failures. Historically, this leads to massive
migrations, wars and revolutions. The fatal synergy between human and
natural disasters eradicated perhaps one-third of the human population
during the last event and this time we are crashing more rapidly than
before. Therefore, we may exceed more than a reduction in population of
one-third and reach the levels of the 14th century of 50%, which was
also combined with the Black Plague.
That layer of stress on the agricultural industry is only intensified
when you zoom out to the international level, where farmers around the
world are facing various dire situations. As one North Dakota farmer and
Twitter user Jordan Gackle pointed out in a recent thread: Drought is continuing to disrupt wheat crops in Australia forcing the country to import some of its wheat from Canada. Some farmers in Canada are now reporting long stretches without rain under the hashtag #drought19. Head over to China and you’ll find that a legion of fall armyworms are spreading rapidly and devouring key grain crops.
It is becoming quite clear that food prices are going to rise
substantially and that the world is going to produce a lot less food
than it normally does this year.
And as I noted earlier, we have a tough time feeding everyone on the
planet even during ideal conditions. Sadly, this even includes the United States…
So what will things look like if global food production drops 10 percent, 20 percent or even more?
We have never had to deal with anything like this in modern times,
and meanwhile the population of the planet has grown from 1.6 billion in
1900 to 7.5 billion today. We have entered the time of “the perfect storm”, and we are going to start to witness things happen that many people would consider to be unimaginable.
I truly hope that things will not be as bad as some of the experts
are suggesting. But as far as crop failures are concerned, we don’t
have to speculate. They are happening right now all over the planet,
and that means that global food supplies are going to get tighter and
tighter in the months ahead.
