Kirk Gallaway Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 We're carrying on like 20 years ago, we all expected this to happen! The country's burning up! In a first, Phoenix hits 100 straight days of 100-degree heat https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2024/09/03/phoenix-100-degree-temperatures-record/?wpisrc=nl_the7&carta-url=https%3A%2F%2Fs2.washingtonpost.com%2Fcar-ln-tr%2F3eeb446%2F66d83c30211e9f0820d68c42%2F646f594f44d19211b692299e%2F52%2F90%2F66d83c30211e9f0820d68c42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Allison Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Malcolm Nance on the MAGA/Kremlin indictments: "Note that the two Russian witting assets (Called Founder-1, Founder-2) in the indictment, lived in the United States! They both directed and paid the American influencers from within our borders. The DOJ alleges that the American influencers were paid starting in November 2023 and have posted 2000 videos with over “16 million views”. What was most amazing is the amounts of money Russia put into this project. Traditionally the old KGB and FSB were incredibly stingy organizations but the $10 million they invested was distributed to just five people. You will choke at the amounts. They Made How Much!? For nearly a year these Americans parroted Moscow’s propaganda on a series of talking points ranging from Bidens failures on inflation, and some pretty open hatred of Ukraine. The five “influencers” are believed to be Tim Pool, a ninth-grade dropout, who made his claim to fame during the occupy Wall Street movement, and later, switched to being a hard-core right-wing propagandist with 2.1 million YouTube followers; David Rubin with 2.4 million followers and Benny Johnson with 2.7 million. Tenet media, the target of the entire operation, was found by Liam Donovan and Lauren Chen. The indictment states that: “Founder-I advised [Moscow] that Commentator-I said, "it would need to be closer to 5 million yearly for him to be interested," and that Commentator-2 said, "it would take 100k per weekly episode to make it worth his while." This is staggering money. The indictment also alleges that the two Russian assets balked at these numbers, but that Moscow approved paying them. Spies, Assets or Useful Idiots? The DoJ alleges that the commentators were likely duped by the two Russian assets, but the material, orders and money should have made anyone suspicious. I’ve tried to educate the public to know the layers of involvement for Americans, working for hostile powers. Traditionally, the lowest level is Fellow Travelers: people who believe exactly what the foreign power believes and says so in public. Next, are Useful Idiots. These are people who have been manipulated by foreign agents but also easy to dupe that they are enlisted through their own stupidity. The more serious categories are Unwitting Assets, people who financially, or personally benefit from the association with a foreign agent, but really do not know the origin of those benefits. A Witting Asset is an individual, who is well aware that the money comes from a hostile government and except it for their own benefit. The final category is a Foreign Agent, otherwise known as a spy. This person has an actual contract with a known hostile intelligence entity and meets the tasking and orders of that officer. So how would we best categorize the six influencers at tenant media? Well, they are clearly useful idiots, who became unwitting assets. But they were in fact, taking tasking, money from an entity, they knew was a foreign government or individual? The only question is did they know that these people were working with Russia Today an entity that is under sanction? This could technically bring us to a new status “Unwitting agent.” That is a person who knows he is dealing with a foreign entity, receives money and tasking, but does not know they are working for a specific hostile entity or intelligence agency. Let’s note that no one has been charged other than the two Russian spies. That could change if other influencers are found out." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Fite Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I just watched the most entertaining and educational 27 or so minute video on Game Theory and its applications in the real world. No technical background is required the concepts are really simple & the results of the game are surprising. Anyway, if you have 1/2 an hour - this one is really great. Bonus - JFK & Nikita film appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Niederhut Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 GOP Lawmaker Says Now Is Not the Time for Gun Control September 5, 2024 at 12:56 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), who represents the district where a school shooting took place yesterday, said that “it’s not the time to talk about” gun control. Instead, Collins said it’s time for prayer: “People are holding up because they have a strong faith in God. Prayers are being lifted up. I just encourage everybody out there – please, just continue to pray for those who didn’t get to make it home yesterday… It’s times like this that your faith really comes into play.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Thomas Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Have you ever noticed how much J.D. Vance looks like Donald Trump, Jr.? When Jr. went to dad and told him to pick J.D. as a running mate, was he picking out a doppleganger? Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Thomas Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 - Marjorie Taylor Greene - "When I was in high school, then-Senator Joe Biden was responsible for gun free school zones, but a student still brought guns to my school and we were put on lock down. We should be protecting our kids the same way Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and so many of our politicians are protected every single day. We need more good guys with guns..." I.e. Every child in America should have their own armed bodyguards and Secret Service Protection Detail. Playground fights would get very interesting.

W. Niederhut Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 (edited) The sheer stupidity of Trump and his MAGA associates nowadays is beyond belief. Tariffs will help solve childcare problems? Arming school kids will prevent school shootings? Democrats are killing newborn babies? Obama nailed it this year, when he said, "If an asteroid was about to collide with Earth, Republicans would declare that the solution would be to cut more taxes for the rich."

Steve Thomas Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 - Donald Trump - "Our country is being poisoned,” Trump said. “And your schools and your children are suffering greatly because they’re going into the classrooms, they’re taking the seats and they don’t even speak English.” Now he's targeting children. There truly is no bottom. Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
