If you want to understand how a criminal thinks-white collar or otherwise- read Dr Samenow’s Inside The Criminal Mind. He’s considered the father of behavioral treatment for anti-social personality disorder (aka, criminal). Very enlightening!

The drop down menu when clicking BUY, offers four non-publisher options (Amazon, Barnes&Noble, etc) for buying a copy.

If you haven't read The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker give it to yourself for Christmas. Now that I reflect back that book I can credit for some of my rationalizations to not get the vaxx. It is an old book, but timeless.

adding unproven vaccines to the childhood schedule is part of the industry's business model - they've been doing this for decades. the industry owns the CDC/ACIP.

Smoke and mirrors is how all these corporations operate.

Bad Blood, great book, comes to mind. It is appalling what they got away with.

Thank you. Also, Glenn Greenwald is a national treasure. GG tweets – extracted ~Oct. 28 period https://twitter.com/ggreenwald

• The regime of censorship being imposed on the internet – by a consortium of DC Dems, billionaire-funded "disinformation experts," the US Security State, and liberal employees of media corporations – is dangerously intensifying in ways I believe are not adequately understood.

• The people who work for the newspaper owned by Jeff Bezos and who write for the magazine controlled and funded by Laurene Powell Jobs (widow of Steve Jobs – she was a big ($6M+) donor to Hillary) are very worried this morning about the unprecedented crisis we face of billionaires buying and controlling the flow of news and information.

• The greatest damage in the West right now is being caused by self-anointed experts claiming to "combat disinformation," and NGOs funded by billionaires and the US/UK Security State dedicated to "anti-disinformation campaigns": @AtlanticCouncil, @DFRLab, @ISDglobal, @OCCRP, etc.

• That absurd spectacle of Dept. of Homeland Security appointing that deranged #Resistance fanatic (Nina Jankowicz) as Disinformation Czar was just one piece of this censorship regime uniting state and corporate power, funded by oligarchs, to shield propaganda from dissent: (Facebook, Tweeter, YouTube) -- Biden’s “Minster of Truth” Nina Jankowicz Participated in Secret NATO-Funded Cabal to Subvert Western Democracies Using Disinformation as Cover - https://www.revolver.news/2022/05/biden-minster-of-truth-nina-jankowicz-and-the-secret-nato-funded-cabal-to-subvert-western-democracies-using-disinformation-as-cover/

• And it wouldn't be possible without the vulgar use of corporate employees they call "reporters" whose only function is to troll the internet looking for establishment critics to silence: @oneunderscore__, @BrandyZadrozny, @TaylorLorenz, @RMac18, @MikeIsaac: censorship activists.

• Liberals spent decades suggesting (correctly as it turns out) that Reagan suffered various forms of senility, including onset of Alzheimer's, in his second term, but now they're trying to invent a new rule that it's bigoted against disabled people to discuss cognitive impairment

• Meanwhile, the cable show that has **the largest audience of younger Democrats** -- meaning self-identified Democrats between the ages of 24-54 -- is . . . the Tucker Carlson Tonight/Show, appearing 8 pm ET on Fox News

• Joe Biden often has no idea where he is, is often unable to string together two coherent sentences, and has started to fall asleep in the middle of interviews.

Why are you so bigoted against people “who struggle with a stutter”?

• Bernie Sanders condemns the House Progressives' original letter on Ukraine, says they were right to apologize for it and then retract it because it should never been issued at all, proceeds to recite Marco Rubio and Tom Cotton's views on Ukraine

• One of the signers of the now disgraced letter (that appallingly wondered if diplomacy might be a useful tool) -- @RepRaskin -- is commendably engaged in all sorts of self-abasement.

He's denouncing diplomacy advocates as -- transphobic colonialists

Thanks for what you're doing, Ed ... 𝘽𝙐𝙏, what you state at the end is a non-starter, a total contradiction of what you've said above and what you should be saying -- "𝘚𝘰 𝘸𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘺 – 𝘸𝘩𝘰" -- WHAT!!???? 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗘𝗫𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗟𝗬 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱, 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄!!! I really hope that you really don't mean what you just said! (I hope what you're saying is that we don't need to know the who or why to know that IT IS A CRIME, conceived and committed with malice aforethought.)

Criminals double- and triple-down because they think that with a little luck over time they either won't be found out or those pursuing the criminals behind the crime will give up or be distracted or become disinterested. The crime was and has been obvious (since long before you seem to have noticed it) to many of us and any that had/have eyes to see, ears to hear, the time and energy to investigate, and a desire to know and reveal the truth. 𝗪𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘃𝘀 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝘁, 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱. And that means more death and destruction for all of us. You should not have, IMO and many others' opinions, ditched that part of the book, unless you felt pressure to. That will indeed prove to be the most important part in the end.

Naming names/pointing fingers becomes very tricky business.

Expand full comment

Whatever "tricky business" might mean to you, it must be done. Find and compile the evidence, find and question your suspects, check and compare their stories, find the lies and the coverups, make the criminal case(s), get justice done, don't let this ever be done to us again. Best way to be sure it does happen again is to do nothing because it might not succeed in bringing down the worst criminals at the top ... or because it might be "tricky," I guess.

agree! But maybe Dowd decided that wasn't his job to name names?...he's the data and forecaster guy.

Expand full comment

He can decide for himself what his "job" is. If he doesn't want to name names, that's his choice. But I object to his making a genl statement that "we don't need to know why--who." I strongly disagree. We do!! He could simply say, "WE aren't going to name names at this time." That'd be ok with me. But if he thinks that these crimes vs humanity will end if we don't focus on knowing the why and who and dealing with both, then he doesn't understand the importance of his data, which without follow-up will simply be relegated to the "that's interesting" file and be forgotten.

Meet the New Boss…Same as the Old Boss -- Scott Ritter on his most recent suspension from Twitter

Scott’s suspension was on Oct. 29 reinstated for his initial tweet (below):

“The Ukrainian National Police committed numerous crimes against humanity in Bucha. Biden, in seeking to shift blame for the Bucha murders to Russia, is guilty of aiding and abetting these crimes. Congratulations America…. We’ve created yet another Presidential war criminal !!”
