The Voice of the White House
Washington, D.C. December 11, 2019:“Working in the White House as a junior staffer is an interesting experience.
When I was younger, I worked as a summer-time job in a clinic for people who had moderate to severe mental problems and the current work closely, at times, echos the earlier one.
I am not an intimate of the President but I have encountered him from time to time and I daily see manifestations of his growing psychological problems.
He insults people, uses foul language, is frantic to see his name mentioned on main-line television and pays absolutely no attention to any advice from his staff that runs counter to his strange ideas.
He lies like a rug to everyone, eats like a hog, makes lewd remarks to female staffers and flies into rages if anyone dares to contradict him.
It is becoming more and more evident to even the least intelligent American voter that Trump is vicious, corrupt and amoral. He has stated often that even if he loses the election in 2020, he will not leave the White House. I have news for Donald but this is not the place to discuss it.
Commentary for December 11: ” Greta Thunberg, now known as the Climate Goddess, addressed a joint session of the US Congress yesterday in which she convinced the law makers that they could change the global weather for the good.
Yes, thanks to Greta, Congress is going to pass laws making bad weather vanish for ever and a new age of beautiful flowers and dancing deer will descend upon us.
After President Trump decorates Greta with a Medal of Freedom (with Oakleaves and Diamonds) she is headed for Rome where she will instruct the Pope on how he can also change the weather.
Then it’s back to Sweden on her sail-controlled surfboard for more accolades from the Nobel Prize committee and a session with the King and the Royal Family of Sweden.
And now we learn that TIME magazine has made her Goddess of the Year!
Next, Greta and Sorcha Faal are rumored to be working on a book equating the arrival of Planet X with the New Weather Law and then all of us can put on night shirts and go into the woods and dance the night away with the deer.”

Judge blocks Trump plan to spend $3.6 billion in military funds on border barrier
December 10, 2019
by Nick Miroff,
The Washington Post
A federal judge in El Paso, Texas, on Tuesday blocked the Trump administration’s plan to pay for border barrier construction with $3.6 billion in military funds, ruling that the administration does not have the authority to divert money appropriated by Congress for a different purpose.
The Trump administration was planning to use those funds to build 175 miles of steel barriers, and the court’s permanent injunction casts new doubt on President Donald Trump’s pledge to erect 450 linear miles of fencing by the end of next year.
Judge David Briones of the Western District of Texas, a Bill Clinton appointee, said in his ruling that the administration’s attempt to reprogram military construction funds by emergency proclamation was unlawful, and that the plaintiffs in the case were entitled to a permanent injunction halting the government.
A ruling Briones issued in October placed a temporary hold on Trump’s plan to use the funds, but that decision did not have a nationwide scope.
The Trump administration has budgeted nearly $10 billion for barrier construction to date, so the ruling affects roughly one-third of the money the president plans to spend on his signature project. Briones’s decision does not apply to other money available to the administration, including reprogrammed military counter-narcotics funds.
The ruling was the first instance of a local jurisdiction successfully suing to block construction of Trump’s border barrier.
El Paso County, one of the two plaintiffs in the suit, had argued that the new border barrier was unwanted by the community and would inflict permanent harm on its reputation as a welcoming, cross-border place.
Kristy Parker, one of the attorneys for the plantiffs, said the decision meant the president cannot spend money on the project that wasn’t authorized by Congress.
“The president can’t use the National Emergencies Act to override a congressional appropriations decision,” Parker said. “That specifically means he cannot use funds appropriated for military constructon and divert it for use to build border barriers.”
The Trump administration is expected to appeal the decision.
Congress to Vote on $22 Billion Defense Increase One Week After Trump Slashed Food Stamps
December 10, 2019
by Alex Emmons
The Intercept
Democratic and Republican lawmakers in Congress’s Armed Services committees released a compromise bill on Monday that would authorize $738 billion in military spending in 2020, a $22 billion increase over 2019. If passed, the bill would formally establish President Donald Trump’s proposed “Space Force” as a sixth armed service and bring total annual Pentagon spending increases under Trump to more than $130 billion.
But Democrats on the left flank of the party argue that the compromise signs away important restrictions on Trump’s war-making powers included in the House version of the bill, where an amendment backed by progressives would have prohibited the Trump administration from using any funds to launch an unauthorized, offensive war against Iran.
The compromise also stripped out a measure long backed by California Democrat Ro Khanna that would have prohibited U.S. military support for the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen and one from New Jersey Democrat Tom Malinowski that would have banned the sale of air-to-ground munitions to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
In a joint statement, presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders and Khanna, who is Sanders’s campaign chair, called the National Defense Authorization Act “a bill of astonishing moral cowardice,” and said that Congress should not pass the compromise version.
“There is no pressing reason for Congress to shower Trump, his Saudi friends, and the Pentagon contractors of the military-industrial complex with this $738 billion taxpayer giveaway right now,” Sanders and Khanna said. “We owe it to the American people to go back to the drawing board.”
Different versions of the NDAA passed the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives and Republican-controlled Senate earlier this year, and for the past three months, members of the Armed Services committees have been negotiating the specifics of the massive policy and funding authorization package.
Most members of Congress consider the NDAA “must-pass” legislation, so members fight to attach their amendments. But the final details were worked out behind closed doors by the committee responsible for reconciling the House and Senate versions.
The top-line spending figure is consistent with a bipartisan budget deal reached earlier this year, and the basic contours of the compromise were reported last week by the Wall Street Journal. In exchange for Republicans getting to formalize Trump’s touted “Space Force,” Democrats will get to add 12 weeks of paid parental leave for all federal employees who have worked in the government for at least a year, not just employees of the Department of Defense who already have that benefit.
In addition, the bill would provide a 3.1 percent pay raise for members of the armed services; strengthen military housing oversight by requiring the services to develop a tenants’ bill of rights; expand visas for Afghans who have helped U.S. forces; and restrict the military’s use of toxic PFAS chemicals on bases, which have been linked to a range of health problems for active-duty personnel.
In a joint statement, Democrats and Republicans on both Armed Services committees said that the bill was a “bipartisan, bicameral agreement” that “puts our troops and America’s security first by continuing to rebuild our military,” and “[cares] for our service members and their families.”
But the omission of the provisions about Saudi Arabia is particularly striking, given that Congress passed similar, bipartisan measures earlier this year — one that would prohibit U.S. support for the Yemen intervention and another that aimed to block Trump’s “emergency” arms sales to the Saudis. Trump vetoed both measures, but because the NDAA contains underlying funding authorization for the Defense Department, it would be much harder for Trump to veto the entire package.
Sen. Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he fought for those measures to be included in the final bill, but couldn’t overcome opposition from Republican negotiators.
“In a time of significant discord, this NDAA represents a responsible compromise that strengthens our national defense capabilities,” Reed said in a statement. “There are several environmental and Middle East policy items I fought to the end for, but could not get past staunch Administration and Republican opposition. Those will be back on my list of priorities as we start this process next year.”
Pentagon funding has divided Democrats under Trump. Those on the left, and most Democrats running for president in 2020, have called for overall reductions in military spending. But in Congress, Democrats have continued to support spending packages as Trump’s budget requests for the Pentagon grow larger and larger.
Control of the top-line figures largely rests with the Armed Services committees, whose members are looking to ensure military readiness and so frequently give more weight to Pentagon requests. In addition, the Trump administration and foreign policy community have spent years making the case that massive increases are necessary to support shifting to a strategy of great power competition with China and Russia.
In June 2017, former Defense Secretary James Mattis and former chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford testified that the Pentagon needed a 3 to 5 percent annual increase in its budget each year until 2023, amounting to tens of billions of dollars a year. Dunford said the increases were necessary to “maintain the competitive level” of the armed forces, but such massive hikes would place U.S. military spending in peacetime at historic levels not seen since the World War II.
Last year, the National Defense Strategy Commission, a group of nonpartisan national security professionals appointed by members of the House and Senate Armed Services committees, released a report echoing the conclusion that “three to five percent annual real growth is indicative of the investment required” to compete with China.
But while progressives have registered a handful of protest votes against past increases, they are now coming out in force to say that such an increase shouldn’t compromise domestic priorities. Mark Pocan, a Democratic representative from Wisconsin and former co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said that the 2020 increase was inexcusable while the Trump administration is cutting social programs.
“At the same time that this administration has cut food stamps, Medicaid, and reproductive health services from everyday Americans, this President wants to add more than a hundred billion dollars to continue endless and unauthorized wars,” Pocan said in a statement on Monday night. “This is the definition of government waste.”
The House and Senate are expected to begin voting on the compromise bill as soon as this week.
Climate Change: Global Sea Level
November 19, 2019
by Rebecca Lindsey
climate.gov
Global mean sea level has risen about 8–9 inches (21–24 centimeters) since 1880, with about a third of that coming in just the last two and a half decades. The rising water level is mostly due to a combination of meltwater from glaciers and ice sheets and thermal expansion of seawater as it warms. In 2018, global mean sea level was 3.2 inches (8.1 centimeters) above the 1993 average—the highest annual average in the satellite record (1993-present)
The global mean water level in the ocean rose by 0.14 inches (3.6 millimeters) per year from 2006–2015, which was 2.5 times the average rate of 0.06 inches (1.4 millimeters) per year throughout most of the twentieth century. Global mean sea level is likely to rise at least one foot (0.3 meters) above 2000 levels, even if greenhouse gas emissions follow a relatively low pathway in coming decades.
In some ocean basins, sea level rise has been as much as 6-8 inches (15-20 centimeters) since the start of the satellite record. Regional differences exist because of natural variability in the strength of winds and ocean currents, which influence how much and where the deeper layers of the ocean store heat.
Past and future sea level rise at specific locations on land may be more or less than the global average due to local factors: ground settling, upstream flood control, erosion, regional ocean currents, and whether the land is still rebounding from the compressive weight of Ice Age glaciers. In the United States, the fastest rates of sea level rise are occurring in the Gulf of Mexico from the mouth of the Mississippi westward, followed by the mid-Atlantic. Only in Alaska and a few places in the Pacific Northwest are sea levels falling, though that trend will reverse under high greenhouse gas emission pathways.
Why sea level matters
In the United States, almost 40 percent of the population lives in relatively high population-density coastal areas, where sea level plays a role in flooding, shoreline erosion, and hazards from storms. Globally, 8 of the world’s 10 largest cities are near a coast, according to the U.N. Atlas of the Oceans.
In urban settings along coastlines around the world, rising seas threaten infrastructure necessary for local jobs and regional industries. Roads, bridges, subways, water supplies, oil and gas wells, power plants, sewage treatment plants, landfills—the list is practically endless—are all at risk from sea level rise.
Higher background water levels mean that deadly and destructive storm surges, such as those associated with Hurricane Katrina, “Superstorm” Sandy, and Hurricane Michael—push farther inland than they once did. Higher sea level also means more frequent high-tide flooding, sometimes called “nuisance flooding” because it isn’t generally deadly or dangerous, but it can be disruptive and expensive.
In the natural world, rising sea level creates stress on coastal ecosystems that provide recreation, protection from storms, and habitat for fish and wildlife, including commercially valuable fisheries. As seas rise, saltwater is also contaminating freshwater aquifers, many of which sustain municipal and agricultural water supplies and natural ecosystems.
What’s causing sea level to rise?
Global warming is causing global mean sea level to rise in two ways. First, glaciers and ice sheets worldwide are melting and adding water to the ocean. Second, the volume of the ocean is expanding as the water warms. A third, much smaller contributor to sea level rise is a decline in the amount of liquid water on land—aquifers, lakes and reservoirs, rivers, soil moisture. This shift of liquid water from land to ocean is largely due to groundwater pumping.
From the 1970s up through the last decade or so, melting and heat expansion were contributing roughly equally to observed sea level rise. But the melting of mountain glaciers and ice sheets has accelerated:
The decadal average loss from glaciers in the World Glacier Monitoring Service’s reference network quintupled over the past few decades, from the equivalent of 6.7 inches (171 millimeters) of liquid water in the 1980s, to 18 inches (460 millimeters) in the 1990s, to 20 inches (-500 millimeters) in the 2000s, to 33 inches (850 millimeters) for 2010-2018.
Ice loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet increased seven-fold from 34 billion tons per year between 1992-2001 to 247 billion tons per year between 2012 and 2016.
Antarctic ice loss nearly quadrupled from 51 billion tons per year between 1992 and 2001 to 199 billion tons per year from 2012-2016.
As a result, the amount of sea level rise due to melting (with a small addition from groundwater transfer and other water storage shifts) from 2005–2013 was nearly twice the amount of sea level rise due to thermal expansion.
The pace of global sea level rise more than doubled from 1.4 mm per year throughout most of the twentieth century to 3.6 mm per year from 2006–2015.
Measuring sea level
Sea level is measured by two main methods: tide gauges and satellite altimeters. Tide gauge stations from around the world have measured the daily high and low tides for more than a century, using a variety of manual and automatic sensors. Using data from scores of stations around the world, scientists can calculate a global average and adjust it for seasonal differences.
Since the early 1990s, sea level has been measured from space using radar altimeters, which determine the height of the sea surface by measuring the return speed and intensity of a radar pulse directed at the ocean. The higher the sea level, the faster and stronger the return signal is.
To estimate how much of the observed sea level rise is due to thermal expansion, scientists measure sea surface temperature using moored and drifting buoys, satellites, and water samples collected by ships. Temperatures in the upper half of the ocean are measured by a global fleet of aquatic robots. Deeper temperatures are measured by instruments lowered from oceanographic research ships.
To estimate how much of the increase in sea level is due to actual mass transfer—the movement of water from land to ocean—scientists rely on a combination of direct measurements of melt rate and glacier elevation made during field surveys, and satellite-based measurements of tiny shifts in Earth’s gravity field. When water shifts from land to ocean, the increase in mass increases the strength of gravity over oceans by a small amount. From these gravity shifts, scientists estimate the amount of added water.
Future sea level rise
As global temperatures continue to warm, sea level will continue to rise. How much it will rise depends mostly on the rate of future carbon dioxide emissions and future global warming. How fast it will rise depends mostly on the rate of glacier and ice sheet melting.
The pace of sea level rise accelerated beginning in the 1990s, coinciding with acceleration in glacier and ice sheet melting. However, it’s uncertain whether that acceleration will continue, driving faster and faster sea level rise, or whether internal glacier and ice sheet dynamics (not to mention natural climate variability) will lead to “pulses” of accelerated melting interrupted by slowdowns.
In 2012, at the request of the U.S. Climate Change Science Program, NOAA scientists conducted a review of the research on global sea level rise projections. Their experts concluded that even with lowest possible greenhouse gas emission pathways, global mean sea level would rise at least 8 inches (0.2 meters) above 1992 levels by 2100. With high rates of emissions, sea level rise would be much higher.,
Both the low-end and “worst-case” possibilities were revised upward in 2017 following a review by the U.S. Interagency Sea Level Rise Taskforce. Based on their new scenarios, global sea level is very likely to rise at least 12 inches (0.3 meters) above 2000 levels by 2100 even on a low-emissions pathway. On future pathways with the highest greenhouse gas emissions, sea level rise could be as high as 8.2 feet (2.5 meters) above 2000 levels.
Since the 2012 report report, new research has emerged showing that some of the more extreme estimates of how quickly those ice sheets could melt were more plausible than they previously seemed.
Along almost all U.S. coasts outside Alaska, the 2017 projections indicate that sea level rise is likely to be higher than the global average for the three highest sea level rise pathways, thanks to local factors like changes in ocean currents, and regional ocean warming. For the densely populated Atlantic seaboard north of Virginia and the western Gulf of Mexico, sea level rise will likely be higher than the global average for all pathways.
In all cases, however, rising sea levels are increasing coastal flood risk. High-tide flooding is already a serious problem in many coastal communities, and it is only expected to get much worse in the future with continued rising seas.
A ‘Mini Ice Age’ Is Coming in The Next 15 Years
BEC
A new model that predicts the solar cycles more accurately than ever before has suggested that solar magnetic activity will drop by 60 percent between 2030 and 2040, which means in just 15 years’ time, Earth could sink into what researchers are calling a mini ice age.
Such low solar activity has not been seen since the last mini ice age, called the Maunder Minimum, which plunged the northern hemisphere in particular into a series of bitterly cold winters between 1645 and 1715.
The prediction is based on what’s known as the Sun’s ’11-year heartbeat’. The Sun’s magnetic activity is not the same year in year out, it fluctuates over a cycle that lasts between 10 and 12 years. Ever since this was discovered 172 years ago, scientists have struggled to predict what each cycle will look like.
But just last week at the National Astronomy Meeting in Wales, mathematics professor Valentina Zharkova from Northumbria University in the UK has presented a new model that can forecast what these solar cycles will look like based on the dynamo effects at play in two layers of the Sun. Zharkova says she can predict their influence with an accuracy of 97 percent.
What exactly are these so-called dynamo effects? They’re part of a geophysical theory that explains how the motion of Earth’s outer core moves conducting material, such as liquid iron, across a weak magnetic field to create an electric current. This electric current also interacts with the fluid motion below the surface of Earth to create two magnetic fields along the axis of its rotation.
When Zharkova’s model applied this theory to the Sun, it drew its predictions assuming that there are dynamo effects in two subterranean layers – one deep down in the convection zone, and another up near the surface, each fluctuating between the northern and southern hemispheres.
Zharkova explained her findings at the conference:
“We found magnetic wave components appearing in pairs, originating in two different layers in the Sun’s interior. They both have a frequency of approximately 11 years, although this frequency is slightly different, and they are offset in time. Combining both waves together and comparing to real data for the current solar cycle, we found that our predictions showed an accuracy of 97 percent.”
Looking at these magnetic wave patterns, the model predicted that there would be few sunspots over the next two 11-year heartbeats – called Cycle 25, which peaks in 2022, and Cycle 26, which runs from 2030 to 2040.
“In Cycle 26, the two waves exactly mirror each other – peaking at the same time but in opposite hemispheres of the Sun. Their interaction will be disruptive, or they will nearly cancel each other. We predict that this will lead to the properties of a ‘Maunder minimum’,” said Zharkova.
During the original Maunder Minimum, the entire River Thames froze over in England. So I guess time to get your skates ready?
How to turn blood into gold: The faking of the Anna Frank Diaries
December 11, 2019
by Aaron L. Johnson
In 1934, Otto Frank and his family moved to Amsterdam where he bought a spice business, Opekta, which manufactures Pectin used in making household jellies.
On May 1940, after the Germans occupied Amsterdam Otto remained in that city while his mother and brother moved to Switzerland. Otto remained in Amsterdam where his firm did business with the German Wehrmacht. From 1939 to 1944, Otto sold Opeka, and Pectin, to the German army. Pectin was a food preservative, and an anti infectant balm for wounds and as a thickener for raising blood volume in blood transfusions. Pectin was used as an emulsifier for petroleum, gelatized gasoline for fire bombing. By supplying the Wehrmacht, Otto Frank became, in the eyes of the Dutch, a Nazi collaborator.
In 1980, Otto sued two Germans, Ernst Romer and Edgar Geiss, for distributing literature denouncing the diary as a forgery. The trial produced a study by official German handwriting experts that determined everything in the diary was written by the same person. The person that wrote the diaries had used a ballpoint pen throughout. Unfortunately for Herr Frank, the ballpoint pen was not available until 1951 whereas Anne was known to have died of typhus in 1944.
Because of the lawsuit in a German court, the German state forensic bureau, the BundesKriminalAmt [BKA] forensically examined the manuscript, which at that point in time consisted of three hardbound notebooks and 324 loose pages bound in a fourth notebook, with special forensic equipment.
The results of tests, performed at the BKA laboratories, showed that “significant” portions of the work, especially the fourth volume, were written with a ballpoint pen. Since ballpoint pens were not available before 1951, the BKA concluded those sections must have been added subsequently.
In the end, BKA clearly determined that none of the diary handwriting matched known examples of Anne’s handwriting. The German magazine, Der Spiegel, published an account of this report alleging that (a) some editing postdated 1951; (b) an earlier expert had held that all the writing in the journal was by the same hand; and thus (c) the entire diary was a postwar fake.
The BKA information, at the urgent request of the Jewish community, was redacted at the time but later inadvertently released to researchers in the United States.
The purported diary begins on June 12, 1942, and runs to December 5,1942 . It consists of a book that is six by four by a quarter inches. In addition to this first diary, Anne supplemented it with personal letters. Otto said Anne heard Gerrit Bolkestein in a broadcast say: ~ “Keep a diary, and he would publish after the war”, and that’s why Anne’s father claimed she rewrote her diaries second time in 1944.
In this second edition, the new writer changed, rearranged and occasionally combined entries of various dates.
When Anne allegedly rewrote the diaries, she used a ball point pen, which did not exist in 1945, and the book took on an extremely high literary standard, and read more like a professional documentary than a child’s diary. In Anne’s second edition her writing style, and handwriting, suddenly matured.
The actual diary of Anne Frank contained only about 150 notes, according to The New York Times, of October 2 ,1955.
In 1944, German authorities in occupied Holland determined that Otto Frank had been swindling then via his extensive and very lucrative Wehrmacht contracts. The German police then raided his apartment attic, and the eight Jews were sent to Westerbork work camp and forced to perform manual labor .Otto himself was sent to Auschwitz.. Anne, her sister Margot, and her mother, subsequently died of typhus in another camp.
In 1945, after being liberated from German custody, Otto returned to Amsterdam, where he claimed he found Anne’s diary cleverly hidden in the Annex’s rafters. However, another version has a Dutch friend, Meip Geis finding Anne’s diary of fictional events, which she then gave to Otto Frank.
Otto took what he claimed were Anne’s letters and notes, edited them into a book, which he then gave to his secretary, Isa Cauvern, to review. Isa Cauvern and her husband Albert Cauvern , a writer, authored the first diary.
Questions were raised by some publishers as to whether Isa and Albert Cauvern, who assisted Otto in typing out the work used the original diaries or whether they took it directly from Mr. Frank’s personal transcription.
American author, Meyer Levin wrote the third and final edition
Perjury is a punishable crime in America carrying with it up to five years imprisonment and the disgrace that it brings upon the offender.
Not only is the “Anne Frank” diary now considered to be a fake, so also is “The Painted Bird” by Jerzy Kosinski. This book, which is a mass of pornographic and sadistic imagery which, has it not been taken so seriously by the Jewish community, would be merely the pathetic manifestation of a self-serving and very sick person.
This was duly exposed as a shabby, but much beloved and quoted, fraud and in Kosinski’s footsteps we find the next perverted fiction entitled “Fragments” by a Swiss Protestant named Bruno Dosseker who spent the war in Switzerland. Dosseker posed as a very young Baltic Jewish concentration camp inmate named Binjamin Wolkomerski and is a highly disordered book that closely paralleled the psychobabble of Koskinski.
Dosseker became the poster boy for the Holocausters and was lionized by the obsessed of the international Jewish community, reaping considerable profit and many in-house awards for his wonderful and moving portrayal of German brutality and sexual sadism.
These sort of pathetic refugees from the back wards seem to be drawn to the Holocausters…and they to them. There are now “Holocaust Survivors” as young as thirty which is an interesting anomaly because the last concentration camp was closed in 1945. Perhaps they consider the last frenzied spring sale at Bloomingdale’s department store to be what they survived.
Next we can expect to see a book based on twenty-seven volumes of secret diaries prepared within the current year by an inhabitant of the Warsaw ghetto, describing the Nazi slaughter of tens of millions of weeping Jews by means that would shame a modern African state.
And, predictably, the publication of these howlers would be greeted with joy on the part of the fund raisers and fanatics, praised in the columns of the New York Times and scripted by Steven Spielberg for a heart-wrenching guaranteed Oscar-winning film.
Hundreds of thousands of DVD copies will be donated to American schools and the Jewish community will demand that subservient executive and legislative bodies in America create a Day of Atonement as a National Holiday to balance the terrible Christian Christmas and the wickedly Satanic Halloween.
Conservationists must hate these books because so many otherwise beautiful and useful trees are slaughtered for their preparation
Murderous Manipulations
In the great flood of private emails from, and to, the leadership of the Democratic National Committee, there are very important points raised that have been buried in the mass of paperwork. Also, there are many additional postings from the WikiLeaks people that supplement these messages. Here are several that show the connection between the Clinton people and the highly manipulative and demanding billionaire Hungarian-born George Soros. One of the messages is extremely important and dangerous in its implications of remote control murder and the suggested release of deadly viruses on an unsuspecting population.

*DEEP BACKGROUND (CLINTON OFFICIAL/NO QUOTE)* · Like the Obama campaign did in the 2012 election, the Clinton campaign will support Priorities USA as is appropriate under the law. · Campaign officials, including the candidate may, from time to time, attend, speak at or be featured guests at their events. · No one with the campaign will solicit more than the federal limit ($5,000) for Priorities USA, as permitted by law.
*BACKGROUND (CLINTON OFFICIAL)*
“With some Republican candidates reportedly setting up and outsourcing their entire campaign to SuperPAC’s and the Koch Brothers pledging $1 billion alone for the 2016 campaign, Democrats have to have the resources to fight back. There is too much at stake for our future for Democrats to unilaterally disarm. Hillary Clinton and her campaign team will be encouraging of Priorities USA because they have the proven record of a successful national campaign that drove home a critical message in 2012.”

Subject: Invitation from America Votes
Hi Huma (and Lona): It was wonderful to see you last week. Thanks so much again for making the time in a very, very busy week. Attached is an invitation for Secretary Clinton to join us at an evening reception at the home of George Soros in December. We would be thrilled to have her serve as honored guest and speaker at this gathering of our top supporters honoring America Votes’ work over the past 10 years and looking forward to the next decade. Thanks so much in advance for your and the Secretary’s consideration of this request. We are now holding dates at Mr. Soros’ home in the middle of the month (Dec. 15-17) and hope we can find a mutually agreeable date during that window if possible or an alternative. Please let us know if we can provide any further information, address any questions, etc. Thanks very much again and look forward to talking again soon. Best, GS

FYI – the New York Times will soon report that HRC is doing meetings for Priorities USA. We have NOT confirmed the meeting and will not be confirming these types of meetings. We are, however, reflecting how will support Priorities USA work where needed and framed this up. If you get press questions as follow ups on this, please send them to me. *DEEP BACKGROUND (CLINTON OFFICIAL/NO QUOTE)* · Like the Obama campaign did in the 2012 election, the Clinton campaign will support Priorities USA as is appropriate under the law. · Campaign officials, including the candidate may, from time to time, attend, speak at or be featured guests at their events. · No one with the campaign will solicit more than the federal limit ($5,000) for Priorities USA, as permitted by law.
BACKGROUND (CLINTON OFFICIAL)
“With some Republican candidates reportedly setting up and outsourcing their entire campaign to SuperPAC’s and the Koch Brothers pledging $1 billion alone for the 2016 campaign, Democrats have to have the resources to fight back. There is too much at stake for our future for Democrats to unilaterally disarm. Hillary Clinton and her campaign team will be encouraging of Priorities USA because they have the proven record of a successful national campaign that drove home a critical message in 2012.”

Subject: Soros and future health problems
George Soros now says in a confidential email that as he has been so supportive of Hillary,(mucho bread!) he requests her to see that Russia’s Putin ceases to block Russian attitude changes to globalization. As a former KGB man, Putin is very clever at protecting himself but surely the Company can manage to find a way for an accident to happen. After their doing the Smolensk crash, he says they can always make the impossible happen. Hillary has agreed and has spoken with Brennan whom she had had many dealings with and he has said this can happen. They talked about a car accident like the one used to shut Hastings up.
We have to watch out that galactic subjects such as the IMX program never get even hinted at around Hillary. If she makes reference to IMX, this might cause serious problems for everyone concerned. It is doubted that it will ever get used but if it does, we hope the important sections of America’s population are property vaccinated. The world has an overpopulation problem, true, but IMX is not the answer. The Dietrick people and those of the neoCons who know about it will be disappointed because curbing the rampant ambitions of the PRC is one of their goals but that game ain’t worth the candle, believe me!
The Season of Evil
by Gregory Douglas
Preface
This is in essence a work of fiction, but the usual disclaimers notwithstanding, many of the horrific incidents related herein are based entirely on factual occurrences.
None of the characters or the events in this telling are invented and at the same time, none are real. And certainly, none of the participants could be considered by any stretch of the imagination to be either noble, self-sacrificing, honest, pure of motive or in any way socially acceptable to anything other than a hungry crocodile, a professional politician or a tax collector.
In fact, the main characters are complex, very often unpleasant, destructive and occasionally, very entertaining.
To those who would say that the majority of humanity has nothing in common with the characters depicted herein, the response is that mirrors only depict the ugly, evil and deformed things that peer into them
There are no heroes here, only different shapes and degrees of villains and if there is a moral to this tale it might well be found in a sentence by Jonathan Swift, a brilliant and misanthropic Irish cleric who wrote in his ‘Gulliver’s Travels,”
“I cannot but conclude the bulk of your natives to be the most odious race of little pernicious vermin that Nature ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the earth.”
Swift was often unkind in his observations but certainly not inaccurate.

Chapter 24
There was a sliced turkey sandwich covered with transparent plastic wrap on the counter in the kitchen. It had obviously been put there for him and there was a note propped up against the plate. He was apprehensive that the circus members were running around outside where he did not want them to be, but the note informed him that they were playing cards in the spare bedroom.
The sandwich was good and he looked in the refrigerator for more food.
A few minutes later, he knocked on the closed door of the extra bedroom, not wanting to interrupt a mating session. He was amazed to find Lars and Gwen playing some kind of a card game. She was, thank God, fully dressed and Lars was wearing a pair of shorts and a big smile. He was obviously winning.
“Greeting, friends. Thank someone for the food.”
“Me,” said Gwen squinting angrily at the cards in her hand.
“I wouldn’t play cards with him, sweetie. Lars likes to cheat, don’t you lad.”
“Chuck, I keep telling you that you can be very rude sometimes. I am not cheating at all. Do you think we can go to the movies?”
“Not now. Can I join you? I don’t feel like standing up for too long.”
After a while, Gwen got the hang of the game and beat Lars three times in a row.
He put down his cards in disgust.
“You’re bad luck, Chuck. When you came in here, I was winning.”
“Face it, Eric, you’re a born loser.”
“You’re trying to make fun of me in front of Gwen. When are we leaving this place? They found the bodies, didn’t they?”
Gwen put a hand on Lars’ arm.
“Lars, we’re waiting to see if there’s going to be any trouble. I explained that to you before.”
“Well, they’re dead and anyway, when do we go?”
He had been thinking about the farm in Minnesota when he wasn’t beset with erotic fantasies.
“Give it two more days at the least. OK? If we don’t hear anything by Saturday, I will call the cop I talked to at the pool and see what he has to say. Saturday. And you can deal me in now. I’m feeling better now and I’ll thrash both of you.”
“Oh,” Gwen said as she shuffled the cards, “are you going to get out the whip and the handcuffs again?”
“Oh Jesus, shut up and deal.”
They didn’t have to wait until Saturday because the next morning, there was a polite knock at the door. Chuck peeked through the spy hole, saw a strange man in the entrance hall with a notebook in his hand.
He made the others hide in the back and opened the door.
It was still hot outside and the man was sweating.
“Excuse me, sir. You’re Mr……” and he looked at his notebook….O’Rourke?”
“That’s me.”
“I’m Detective Cusak from the Santa Clara Police. Could I talk with you for a minute? It’s about the drowning in the pool.”
Chuck opened the door wider.
“Come on in, Detective. It’s too hot outside to be doing business. Can I get you something to drink?”
“Sure. A soft drink will do.”
“Ice tea OK?”
“Sure.”
And he sat down at the dining room table and pulled out a pen.
“I understand that you heard nothing out of the ordinary from the pool area?”
“Well, some of the swimmers make noise but nothing out of the ordinary. What day did you have in mind?”
The detective looked at his notebook again.
“Oh, to tell you the truth, the coroner has had a hard time determining the exact time of death. Probably two days ago but it might have been three. The water temperature and things like that. Some of the tenants saw Mrs. McGiver in her office and around the place on Sunday and one thinks she may have seen her two days ago but no one is sure. We know that the other one, Tolliver, gave a lecture at DeAnza college on Tuesday but no one saw him after that.”
Chuck managed to look concerned, helpful and disinterested all at the same time.
“Both of them were over here earlier in the week.”
Cusak made a note.
“Do you happen to remember which day?”
“I think it was Tuesday. She said he was an old friend and wanted to bring him over to meet me.”
“Was there a reason for this?”
“Sure. He was broke and she asked me if I would like to invest in publishing one of his books. Have you ever read his stuff?”
The detective shook his head.
“No, but I understand he was a nut. Something about aliens landing on Earth.”
“Right. And he was a real bigot. He hated blacks, Jews, Catholics and God knows who else. I do have a little money but I wouldn’t give a creep like that a dime. They were here for about forty minutes and then they left.”
“Was there any kind of an argument or problem?”
There certainly was, officer, Chuck thought, they were whipping my friend and her niece so I beat the shit out of them and shoved them into the pool. Oh, and not to mention that I broke in her office and looted it. Oh yes, and fucked the pants off her underage niece who is now in the back probably groping my friend who is a right-up-front child molester.
“No, I was polite to both of them. She is the manager, or was, and I just said that I had all my money invested at the present time.”
Cusak looked through his notebook again.
“She had a young daughter?”
“She had a niece visiting from Los Angeles. About thirteen or fourteen I guess but Mrs. McGiver said she went back home.”
“Do you know the girl’s name?”
“Oh…I think it was Ruth or something like that. I met her too but only for a few minutes. No, I don’t really recall her. She didn’t leave much of an impression on me. Sorry.”
“No problem. A tenant thought she saw her several nights ago at one of the pools.”
“I was swimming two nights ago and I was talking to a girl there. She was the only one younger than eighty but she didn’t look like Connie’s relative. I think she was the granddaughter of another tenant.”
“Do you remember her name?”
“No, her grandmother apparently didn’t like me talking to her and they both left early. Not bad looking.”
“But from what I was told, not anywhere close to fifteen either.”
“God no. Twenty maybe, twenty-two. Believe me, I am not going to get friendly with a fifteen year old. And not the grandma either. That’s one of the reasons I am planning to move out. Too many wandering mummies.”
They both laughed.
Chuck saw the chance for some disarming humor.
“I have a nice joke for you, Inspector…”
“Just detective. Go on. Do I have to make notes?”
“Only if you want. There were these two old men down in Palm Beach sitting on a bench. One was complaining about his bowel habits. Had a hard time pissing and lived on laxatives. The other one said that he never had those problems. He said that every morning at seven he had a good, strong piss and at eight, he took a healthy dump. The other one asked him why he looked so sad when he had so much good fortune and the other one told him that he didn’t wake up until ten!”
The detective broke out into loud laughter.
“Hey, you don’t know how funny that was! I will tell that one later, believe me.”
He was thinking of his father-in-law who lived with them and who had similar problems. His wife would not like it at all because she had to clean up the daily messes.
Cusak drained his tea and made a number of notes.
“I guess that’s about all Mr. O’Rourke.”
He pushed back his chair and stood up, putting the notebook into his jacket pocket.
“This is all routine. There’s no doubt that they were involved in kinky sex, got into some kind of fight and drowned. The coroner thinks he had a heart attack. Off the record, they were both full of cocaine.”
Chuck pretended to be shocked.
“My God! And she seemed to be such a nice woman, too.”
“Well, one thing you learn in my business is that you never know. You can’t judge a book by its cover, can you?”
Chuck remembered the contorted face and sagging breasts of Call Me Connie as she leered at him from the bottom of the pool.
“No, I don’t think you can. Listen, I have job interview in Dallas in a day or so and I was wondering if you…”
The detective smiled as he headed for the front hall.
“Ah, no problem. This is strictly routine. I mean, there’s no question of a crime being committed. The press is interested in Tolliver because of his reputation but I guess you know about that. You’re lucky this is a gated community or the reporters would be all over the place.”
Chuck opened the door.
“Thanks for the tea.”
They shook hands and the matter was over.
