"Jeffrey Epstein and the new “Promis”
After it was revealed that Epstein had evaded stricter sentencing in 2008 due to his links to “intelligence,” it was the Mossad ties of Ghislaine Maxwell’s father that have led many to speculate that Epstein’s sexual blackmail operation was sharing incriminating information with the Mossad. Former CBS executive producer and current journalist for the media outlet Narativ, Zev Shalev, has since claimed that he independently confirmed that Epstein was tied directly to the Mossad. "
I have wondered if they got someone inside and handed him some poison pills and told him "do it" or they did it to him.. honest.. there is no way they can have him testify if he did get deep in with them
I don't think he hung himself.. those were early reports.. I have seen something saying they found him on the floor unresponsive..*oops I stand corrected.. so far the "Attempted Suicide" is reported as him being found on floor with marks on his neck.. hmm
Quote:
Last month, Epstein was found unconscious on the floor of his jail cell with marks on his neck, and officials were investigating that incident as a possible suicide or assault.
Documentary evidence that Pizzagate + Qanon narratives were developed to shield Trump + Epstein from accusations of child trafficking & serial sexual assault of two 12 + 13yo girls in 1993. Those who need it for prosecution already have their copies.
whew.. sheesh

The first mentions of Pizzagate started 11/4, within 8 hours of my first call to report I had identified an open missing person's case matching the abduction of Trump's 12 year old victim known as "Maria"

^^there was/is a thread on it and then we had all the shootings and there it went.. A planet in chaos
Democrats could win a lot of Farm Vote if they work hard at it. All the smaller farms are going to go under and the big ones buy them by 2021 if something isn't done..
I am starting to Appreciate Bernie a bit more also.
Dude is engaged with the people.. Not just shouting nonsense from a stage.
When I saw he called out the Health Insurance companies being able to afford 100's of millions of dollars to defeat HCA.. and himself .. that was sharp and important..
Truth if him and Warren were the ticket the Country could get back on track rename the VP for whoever takes it "Co President"

There’s a direct link between a sociopathic killer in 1927 and the GOP’s willingness to embrace a sociopathic president like Trump. That link runs through the work of Ayn Rand.
When Donald Trump was running for the GOP nomination, he told USA Today’s Kirsten Powers that Ayn Rand’s raped-girl-decides-she-likes-it novel, The Fountainhead, was his favorite book.
“It relates to business, beauty, life and inner emotions,” he told Powers. “That book relates to … everything.”

I used to see people carrying her books.
Really pathetic anyone would publish this trash.
She would find the memoirs of a NAZI Oven Operator and write a story all about how glorious he was
Or the Charlottesville killer how he was a Suprman
Witch should've had to deal with Trump in her dying days.

Here we go again. Remember when the DNC created a rules reform package that was supposed to lessen the power/influence of superdelegates in the next Presidential election? It turns out that the 769 superdelegates are allowed to vote if the convention is contested.
How do you get a contested convention? By allowing 20+ candidates to run for President and split the vote on the progressive side so that a second ballot is all but inevitable. In other words, those that have the extra power of being super-delegates weren't giving up anything. Do you want additional accusations that DNC is rigging the outcome of the primaries? Because this is how you get that.
“Nobody wants to anticipate a campaign where we go to a second ballot, but if you’re smart you have to,” said Jed Ober, Hillary for America’s deputy delegate director in 2016 and chief of staff to Rep. Susan Wild of Pennsylvania, who is uncommitted but was invited to the call. Ober joined Monday’s call on Wild’s behalf. He said the Buttigieg campaign was the first to reach out this cycle and that all signs point to them building a sophisticated delegate-wrangling operation."
How did the DNC compel 20 different candidates to run and how do they have the power to determine who does or doesn't stay in the race through the convention? The individual campaigns make those decisions. The DNC makes rules for all contingencies. The don't have the power to orchestrate any specific outcome. Again, it's up to the candidate to know the rules and use them to their advantage or not, and then it's up the voters. If two progressive candidates are in the race, and one is within shouting distance of the nomination and the other is trailing substantially, then maybe the two progressives should get to together and discuss one getting out the of race so that the progressive vote doesn't get split thus guaranteeing neither of them winning. The DNC has nothing to do with that either.
If the DNC hadn’t accommodated the 20 candidates, they would have been accused of intentionally limiting the field in order to rig the primaries to increase the odds for party favorites. Now that they have the expanded pool, they are accused of rigging the election by forcing a second ballot.
For some people, it wouldn’t matter what the DNC did, it’d still be accused of being corrupt against their preferred candidate. There’s nothing the DNC can do please that collective.
You are both missing the point. Why do we even have super delegates as part of the DNC primary process? This was all up for negotiation when they did their reforms after the 2016 debacle. Why did we once again end up with a system that will end up with Super Delegates once again deciding what is best for us? There is something inherently unfair about having certain special people whose vote counts more than everyone else’s.
This is not the only way to run a primary. Ranked choice voting is much better approach that would drive election outcomes.

State prison employees aren't uuuh... often the most motivated or the most diligent or in MANY cases the sharpest knives.
I wrote that yesterday. Today's NY Times reports that COs assigned to watch him were sleeping and falsified the logbook that's a mandatory feature of every prison control center or watch center that they had made their rounds (that's a bad one, they'll probably get fired for that long before they get fired for sleeping, which they had no doubt done a hundred times before until a suicide happened). I'm not in the least bit surprised. _________________ GOAT MAGIC REEL SEDALE TRIBUTE EDDIE DONX!

Stacey Abrams said Tuesday she decided that rather than joining the crowded field for the Democratic presidential nomination, she could better help her party in next year’s election by “making sure every eligible American who should cast a vote will be able to.”
Quote:
The initiative, called Fair Fight 2020, takes its name from the organization that the Georgia Democrat founded last year after narrowly losing her bid to become the nation’s first black female governor.
The effort, expected to cost between $4 million and $5 million, will target 20 states, most of them battlegrounds in the Midwest and Southeast, and three states with gubernatorial elections this year: Kentucky, Louisiana and Mississippi.
Quote:
“I’m going to use energies and my very, very loud voice to raise the money we need to train [people] across the country in our 20 battleground states to make sure that Donald Trump and the Senate take a hike and we put people in place who know what we need,” Abrams said.
During her speech, she criticized states for enacting strict voter ID laws and for aggressively purging their voter rolls. She noted that Tennessee recently passed a law that makes it harder for churches and other community groups to conduct voter registration drives.

Yes, but they sure as hell do not go unnoticed when they happen.
True. e.g. Tiananmen Square. I think Xi Jinping will do what ever's necessary to avert another Tiananmen Square. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
