RICO - The evidence stands on it's own.

On August 14, 2023, (click here) a Fulton County, Georgia grand jury indicted Donald Trump on 13 counts of criminal felonies. The charges revolve around Trump’s and 18 co-defendants’ efforts to overturn the will of the voters and interfere with the results of the 2020 presidential election.

On August 24, 2023, Donald Trump surrendered at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia. As part of his release, he agreed to a $200,000 bond and certain release terms, including agreeing not to use social media to target or harass his co-defendants or witnesses who might appear in the criminal proceedings.

All 19 defendants, including Trump, are charged with criminal racketeering under Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, which ties together individual criminal acts into a broader criminal network and conspiracy.

The Fulton County, Georgia indictment was brought by a grand jury of everyday citizens convened by DA Fani Willis. DA Willis is a highly respected veteran prosecutor who has been investigating Trump and his allies efforts to meddle with the 2020 election for more than two-and-a-half years.

The grand jury heard from many witnesses, including state officials who were asked by Trump and his allies to help overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

What I find incredibly unsettling is the persistent harassment by Mr. Trump of Mr. Raffensperger who diligently was trying to get him to understand they have found no fraud in the election. I sincerely believe Mr. Raffensperger thought Mr. Trump was misdirected by others and needed to understand the facts and not fiction. I think there is great respect of the former president to listen and validate his concerns, but, Trump gave them no respect in return.

I think Mr. Raffensperger is a great American. I believe he loves the country and the rule of law. He has integrity and that means a lot.

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Fox News (click here) agreed Tuesday to pay Dominion Voting Systems nearly $800 million to avert a trial in the voting machine company’s lawsuit that would have exposed how the network promoted lies about the 2020 presidential election.

The stunning settlement emerged just as opening statements were supposed to begin, abruptly ending a case that had embarrassed Fox News over several months and raised the possibility that network founder Rupert Murdoch and stars such as Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity would have to testify publicly.

“The truth matters. Lies have consequences,” Dominion lawyer Justin Nelson told reporters outside a Delaware courthouse after Superior Court Judge Eric Davis announced the deal....

The FCC has enormous amount of evidence to severely review licenses of these broadcast frauds.

WASHINGTON, Dec 15 (Reuters) - Rudy Giuliani (click here) must pay more than $148 million in damages to two former Georgia election workers he defamed through false accusations that they helped rig the 2020 election against Donald Trump, a jury decided on Friday.

The jury in federal court in Washington found that Giuliani owes the workers, Wandrea "Shaye" Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman, roughly $73 million to compensate them for the reputational and emotional harm they suffered and $75 million to punish the former Trump lawyer and one-time New York mayor for his conduct....

Sorry folks, but, the conspiracy touted by the Trump camp is so big that it falls as false by it's own weight.

FCC

It is time for the Federal Communication Commission to monitor the blatant lies in some media services (click here). According to the Newsweek article a woman with the convoy that went to the USA southern border found the conditions at the border were not as bad as she thought. 

Ya know, infotainment is causing Americans a lot of stress in broadcasting blatant lies. No American needs more stress in relation to their own personal safety and the safety of their family members.

The USA has been experiencing a booming labor market. Wages have kept up with inflation and in most instances show a small margin increase over inflation. In the last year inflation is far less than the year before.

Personally, a private industry job I work increased my pay 28 percent as a retention issue. I never asked for it and it is not union. Then management opened the number of hours worked to be decided by the individual while holding the line on hours required to work. 

President Joe Biden has conducted a magnificent return of the USA following a very volatile and deadly presidency preceding him. His job rating on the economy should be substantially better than it is. Additionally, President Biden and the Secretary of Defense never treated the USA military capacity as muscle bound. The use of our military has been more than appropriate in addressing genocide, potential threats to NATO, showing strength in the Pacific, and being a strong ally to Israel. 

The FCC needs to apply power in ensuring the American people are protected from the extreme right wing media that is completely out of control. The caravan of concerned Americans traveling to the southern USA border is uninformed and upset as well as being armed. The FCC is not doing its job and allowing frank and dangerous lies to cause such dangerous actions by Americans that sincerely love their country, but, have media full of misinformation and misdirection in reporting.

It is profitable to be conjuring up lies, but, that is also illegal. Infotainment is false advertising and Americans don’t realize it. 

Stop killing Americans

(click here)

This attack was empowered by Iranian weapons purchased by terrorists. Iran supports terrorists and no matter how much Iran wants to deny the decisions to attack Americans, Iran facilitates terrorists. Iran gives aid and comfort to the enemy.

This attack also took place on Jordanian soil. Jordan is an American ally. The USA would have responded anyway regardless of who was murdered by Iranian facilitated terrorists. 

Unlawful Arrest

 

Phil has predicted an early spring.

He is correct!

Winter is over. Absolutely, it is.

This temperature map on February 2nd is pathetic. February is usually brutally cold. There is not one place in the USA experiencing single digit temperatures.

Snow cove is even more pathetic. Where it exists it is melting.

Elon Musk has gone too far.

His Neurolink is a national security issue. He is creating androids and there is no guarantee this technology is secure. If our enemies get their hands on it as we know they will there is no way to know where this will stop.

Iran on Monday (click here) denied involvement in the weekend attack on a U.S. base in Jordan that killed three Americans, saying militant groups in the region do not take orders from Tehran and that Iran "does not welcome the expansion of conflicts in the region."

But Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nasser Kanaani accused the U.S. of repeatedly violating the sovereignty of Iraq and Syria and said the military strikes on militant groups in Iraq, Syria and Yemen will "escalate the cycle of instability."

“Repeating the unfounded allegations against Iran is shifting of the blame," said Kanaani, dismissing the accusations as a "plot by those who see their interests in once again getting the U.S. involved in a new conflict in the region and provoke it to expand and escalate the crisis.”...

Iran wants to deny it's involvement in the attacks from groups it supports. Excuse me? It is known these groups are supported by Iran. That is enough to blame Iran and seek greater sanctions against this sovereign country.

This satellite photo (click here) from Planet Labs PBC shows a military base known as Tower 22 in northeastern Jordan, Oct. 12, 2023. Three American troops were killed and 25 wounded on Jan. 28, 2024, in a drone strike in northeast Jordan, President Joe Biden said.

...Nevertheless, (click here) it is known that a number of groups across the region have received Iranian support.

Some of these - like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis - have been discussed in detail in other Sky News stories, but others are less well known.

Islamic Resistance in Iraq

Responsibility for the deadly attack on US forces over the weekend was claimed by Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella term used by a number of Iran-backed groups in Iraq....

Iran is one of two countries fondly thought of as a Shi'ite homeland, Iraq being the other. Iran should be ashamed of it's hateful advocating for deaths among groups that will carry out what Iran believes necessary to exist in the world. Iran is wrong and needs to stop arms shipments to terrorist groups.

Dubai - Commanders from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) (click here) and Lebanon's Hezbollah group are on the ground in Yemen helping to direct and oversee Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping, four regional and two Iranian sources told Reuters.

Iran - which has armed, trained and funded the Houthis - stepped up its weapons supplies to the militia in the wake of the war in Gaza, which erupted after Iranian-backed militants Hamas attacked Israel on Oct. 7, the four regional sources said.

Tehran has provided advanced drones, anti-ship cruise missiles, precision-strike ballistic missiles and medium-range missiles to the Houthis, who started targeting commercial vessels in November in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, the sources said.

IRGC commanders and advisers are also providing know-how, data and intelligence support to determine which of the dozens of vessels travelling through the Red Sea each day are destined for Israel and constitute Houthi targets, all the sources said....

The American people do not want their military under such danger. Iran should know the value of life is far higher than those it calls allies. It has become necessary to come to the aid of our ally, Israel. The American people disdain war so it is highly unadvised for Iran backed militias to be forcing a conflict with the USA. It is highly unadvised for Iran to be such a willing partner to these deaths.

Sovereign, democratic countries don't commit genocide and they don't employ terrorists to carry out violence against others.

Iran breaks all the rules and is acting more as a terrorist itself.

Texas border with Mexico

Trump is really getting off on Texas’ secession movement at the border. He should run for president of Texas since he does not care his majority Supreme Court upheld the federal statues regarding the USA contiguous border and removing barbed wire. 

Honestly. Trump hates this country and wants to destroy it because he could never live by the rules and was crushed by his own corrupted business model over and over.

Trump is about retaliation. Nothing else. He will destroy the country to get it.

Aid for Palestine

This is difficult to state because I have believed in the United Nations mission for a very long time, but, the corruption within the organization is profound. There needs to be a change in leadership and quite frankly the only country that can carry out investigations and prosecutions is the USA. The UN Headquarters, while is has special standing due to its diplomatic purposes, is on USA soil.

The next General Secretary of the United Nations must come from the USA and be given the power of investigation and prosecution. Nothing else is going to clean up the mess. Until that occurs agencies within the UN must end relationships (ie: contacts) with independent organizations of all kinds. Travel, aid distribution, and all expenditures including spending accounts for employees must be handled internally. Inspector Generals from member countries will provide monitoring of all activities involving the movement of aid and monies with quarterly reports to the UN Security Council.

Change in the organization must occur in order to secure its continued operation in the manner originally set down in the charter. 

Realizing outside agencies that are supposed to serve a benevolent purpose are actually channeling monies to terrorists is astounding. 

Additionally, there is evidence that the terrorist activities with PayPal are using cyber access that appears to be sovereign in its power to remove monies from accounts without a trace. There is reason to believe this is a group of India nationalists based in California. 

All these nefarious cyber activities must stop and civilization preserved. The kind of power witnessed with high levels of cyber competency and assaultive purposes, in my opinion, is an act of terrorism and/or war. I remind there was an assassination of a Sikh activist in Canada and the cyber assaults on financial institutions such as PayPal may be related. 

Regardless, “Untied Nations” is a real entity operating within the structure of the United Nations that seduces people and takes their money. It is covertly operating as an exclusive travel agency to the UN. How convenient to have such power and access. The existence of this entity proves there are terrorists within the UN that must be dealt with and removed from assess of highly powerful cyber connections. It is ridiculous to think figure head leaders, including the UN Generals are not aware of these dangers. They are an arm of violence in the world. There should be no sympathy for those so willing to kill.

All these activities within the USA and internationally must stop. The disease of terrorism within the free world must end.

This is not an army of any god I know of.

The USA Southern Border is no place for angry Americans no matter what they call themselves.

President Biden will end up deploying the National Guard just to protect Americans from themselves.

$83.3 million

Just write her a check, Don. I am sure $83.3 million is nothing to your vast fortune.

Israel Buffer Zone

I think Israel’s Buffer Zone is a perfect solution (click here).

The Palestinians will have a clear way of knowing where their border ends. It will also provide a method for Israel to monitor any attempt of attacks approaching its border.

The border security measures failed when Hamas successfully entered Israel and slaughtered 1200 citizens. The people slaughtered were focused on benevolence, including health care workers attempting to care for the wounded. These people were completely unarmed and I am sure they believed they were protected by international law. Well, international law be damned when it comes to terrorists such as Hamas. Hamas has no respect for others. 

The most classic example of such use of land is the Korean Peninsula DMZ. Bush visited it and Trump crossed it after exchanging love letters with Kim after he assassinated his own brother. 

The Buffer Zone will work as Israel has managed to reach the entire border with its military. There won’t be peace because Hamas won’t allow it, but, there will be a stabilizing force to the area. 

Long COVID

Where is the study using PAXLOVID to treat Long COVID? Seriously! PAXLOVID is an antiviral. A very good antiviral. Try it on other viruses, eventually even HIV. But, Long COVID might have at least a treatment if not a cure. I will keep my fingers crossed.

...The persistent presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA (click here) was observed in the blood of long COVID patients for over two years after recovering from acute viral infection. The researchers also identified antisense SARS-CoV-2 and FYN RNA levels as independent predictors of long-COVID status with more than 90% specificity and sensitivity.

Importantly, the current study is the first of its kind to provide a candidate two-gene blood biomarker that can be used clinically to diagnose long-COVID patients.

The EV revolution will improve highway noise pollution along with particulates in the air. How much? Depends on the number of EVs in use.

...U.S. consumers (click here) purchasing new light-duty cars or trucks are increasingly considering electric vehicles, which are on pace to make up 9% of sales this year according to data from EV Hub, a tracker run by Atlas Public Policy. EVs, including plug-in hybrids, accounted for 7.3% sales in 2022.

Combined U.S. sales of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and battery-electric vehicles reached 17.7% of new light-duty vehicle sales in the third quarter, according to the Energy Information Administration. Experts say the figure illustrates growing consumer interest in the range of benefits provided by EVs and other efficient vehicles.

Despite a spate of news articles lamenting slower EV uptake, observers say the data may not bear out that narrative as supply chain shortages are alleviated. “I don’t see sales lagging at all,” said Joel Levin, executive director of Plug In America....

MIT has found economically viable means to implement carbon capture from the oceans.

Acidification of the oceans is a huge and ongoing problem. To reverse this process means to bring about a stream of carbon capture that may very well return function to ocean waters and Earth's troposphere. CO2 will continue to enter the ocean environment, but, it is a better storage facility than the gaseous layers of Earth. If this process can be commercially viable it should be pursued, especially in areas of the ocean where acidification is already a problem, ie; Northwest USA waters. It will return function to the fisheries.

As the CO2 is removed from the oceans in carbon capture to make diamonds or other solid carbon products that WILL NEVER ENTER THE ATMOSPHERE AGAIN, more CO2 from the atmosphere will enter the ocean and the cycle will continue. The acidification will be reduced, but, will need to be maintained in a commercially viable process.

This discovery is from the scientists at MIT.

Asymmetric chloride-mediated electrochemical process for CO2 removal 

from oceanwater

By Seoni Kim, Michael P. Nitzsche, Simon B. Rufer, Jack R. Lake,

Kripa K. Varanasi and T. Alan Hatton

Current studies on CO2 removal (click here) from oceanwater have used bipolar membrane electrodialysis (BPMED), although the high cost of bipolar membranes might impede the commercialization of the process, and some of these architectures even present risks of toxic redox-couples leaking into the oceanwater. We propose a new approach based solely on electrochemical modulation of the pH to initially release the CO2 and then to alkalize the treated water before it is returned to the ocean. This approach (i) does not require expensive membranes or addition of chemicals, (ii) is easy to deploy, (iii) does not lead to formation of byproducts or secondary streams, and (iv) requires a lower energy input (122 kJ mol−1) than do other approaches, to the best of our knowledge. In addition, a preliminary technoeconomic analysis which suggests that this ocean capture system can be economically feasible.

US National Intelligence is not surprised by any events occurring to undermine American confidence in their elections.

It is just that the events today were known to exist and were being nurtured by enemies of the USA. Avril is an interesting person as well as a magnificent intelligence director.

What is interesting to me is that the National Threat Assessment (click here) does not discuss terrorist organizations, their structure and/or their leadership; either alive or dead. I find that odd. Terrorism is referred to when sovereign authorities, like Iran, are involved.

Yesterday, (click here) Avril Haines took the oath of office to serve as Director of National Intelligence. DNI Haines is the first woman to lead the U.S. Intelligence Community.

Remarks (click here) as prepared for delivery by The Honorable Avril Haines Director of National Intelligence

...The US Senate (click here) has approved Joe Biden’s nomination of Avril Haines, making her the first woman to be director of national intelligence, and the first of the president’s picks to be approved.
The vote was 84-10, with all the “no” votes coming from Republicans.
Both Democrats and leading Republicans issued statements praising the nominee. Among Republicans voting against Haines were senators reputed to have party leadership ambitions; Ted Cruz of Texas and Josh Hawley of Missouri.... (You call that leadership?)

...Moscow will continue to employ a variety of tactics to undermine U.S. influence and erode Western alliances. While Russia does not want a conflict with the United States, Russian officials have long believed that Washington is seeking to weaken Russia and Moscow will use a range of tools to pursue its objectives, including mercenary operations, assassinations, and arms sales. It will also employ, as we have reported, new weapons and cyber capabilities to threaten the United States and its allies, and seeks to use malign influence campaigns, including in the context of U.S. elections, to undermine our global standing, sow discord, and influence U.S. decision-making. Russia is becoming increasingly adept at leveraging its technological prowess to develop asymmetric options in both the military and cyber spheres in order to give itself the ability to push back and force the United States to accommodate Russia’s interests. 

Turning to Iran, Tehran is seeking to project power in neighboring states, deflect international pressure, and minimize threats to regime stability. Iraq will be a key battleground for Iranian influence in the coming year, but Tehran will also continue to pursue a permanent military presence in Syria, destabilize Yemen, and threaten Israel. For its part, North Korea may take aggressive and potentially destabilizing actions to reshape its security environment and will seek to drive wedges between the United States and its allies. These efforts could include the resumption of nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missile testing. 

When it comes to transnational threats, the assessment focuses on key issues that intersect with the state-actor threats I just outlined, starting with COVID-19....

Title 42

It is my understanding Title 42 (click here) has ended. Another name for Title 42 is Expulsion. The extremists of the Republican Party are mourning this law because it allowed border agents to immediately send southern border crossers back to Mexico. There was a reason for Title 42 and it had nothing to do with immigration.

Title 42 was a public health law that allowed the USA government at the federal level to prevent anyone from entering any border of this country due to the global pandemic. Why people would want to come to the U.S.A. during the pandemic is anyone’s guess because this country under the Trump presidency had the highest numbers of dead and diseased than ANY other country globally.

So, Title 42 is ending because the pandemic is over for the USA with the Trump legacy of more than 1.1 million dead USA citizens including the elderly and children. 

By the way, the Rwanda genocide killed approximately 800,000 Tutsis including the elderly and children. 

Title 42 cannot be invoked anymore because there is no longer a public health crisis and to continue it would be specifically targeting South Americans and Mexicans and that would be a racist law.
