Quoth the Raven #131 – Dave Collum: The Conspiracy Theory Episode
July 19, 2019

*** begin quote ***

Dave talks nearly 3 hours of conspiracy theories: we go deep on the Las Vegas shooting and 9/11, we also talk the Fed and big pharma. Collum also weighs in with his stance on JFK, the Moon landings, HAARP, chemtrails and how the Jeffrey Epstein fiasco could turn the world on its fucking head.

David B. Collum is an economic commentator, chemist, Betty R. Miller Professor of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Cornell University. He holds a PhD, Columbia University, MS, Columbia University, MA, Columbia University and BS, Cornell University.

*** end quote ***

Sadly, I agree with his suspicions on 9/11 and JFK.  How stupid are “We, The Sheeple”?

Google Punishes Whistleblowing Engineer with Administrative Leave

Thursday, July 25, 2019

If Coppola is let go, he will be the third public victim of Google’s inherent bias toward conservative engineers. Coppola openly admitted in his interview with O’Keefe that he “liked Trump and liked his policies.” He stated that the search engine relies too much on biased news outlets to feed its users negative news on Trump.

Presidential candidates Gabbard and Harris spar after Gabbard claims Harris is ‘not qualified to serve as President

Wednesday, July 24, 2019

On Tuesday, Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, attacked Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) as “not qualified” to serve as president. She claimed that “personal perspective as a soldier” is essential for presidents and she singled out Harris as lacking the necessary “temperament” to lead the country. “I think one of the things I’m most concerned with is, Kamala Harris is not qualified to serve as commander in chief, and I can say this from a personal perspective as a soldier,” Gabbard told Clay Travis on the podcast “Outkick the Coverage.” Gabbard argued that Harris has “got no background or experience in foreign policy, and she lacks the temperament that is necessary for a commander in chief.

I agree.

Once upon a time, before “BJ” Clinton, you couldn’t be elected President without having served in the military.  For better or worse, they at least understand what is at stake.

Perhaps, “We, The Sheeple” should resurrect that rule.

“A soldier accepts personal responsibility for the safety of the body politic of which he is a member, defending it, if need be, with his life. The civilian does not.” — Lt. Col. Jean V. Dubois (Ret.) and student, p. 26 Starship Troopers (1959) by Robert A. Heinlein

Policy expansion to allow ICE to use ‘expedited deportation’ anywhere in the US

Wednesday, July 24, 2019

The Trump administration has finalized a plan that will allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to rapidly deport illegal aliens by bypassing immigration courts in situations where an illegal alien is unable to prove that they have been present in the United States continuously for at least two years. “The Department of Homeland Security will publish a notice in the Federal Register Tuesday that aims to use the department’s full statutory authority to employ ‘expedited removal’ to a wider range of undocumented immigrants who cross the border illegally,” Politico reported.

Rats infest LA, other CA cities as state restricts poison | The Sacramento Bee

Wednesday, July 24, 2019

The rats were winning.

There were so many earlier this summer outside the CalEPA building in downtown Sacramento officials had to close its outdoor playground out of fear state employees’ kids would catch rodent-borne diseases.

To fight back, building officials set out a controversial type of rat poison whose use may soon be banned statewide by the California Legislature. The poison didn’t stay out very long once word got out the state’s top environmental regulators were using a poison widely condemned by California’s powerful environmental groups.

I think that the Pepuls Republik of Kaliforkneeah has completely lost their minds.

Will they be hosting the next “Black Death” plague?

At some point, will sanity return to the “Golden State”?

I’m not so sure.

A Bank With $49 Trillion in Exposure to Derivatives – LewRockwell

Monday, July 22, 2019

We know that Deutsche Bank’s derivative tentacles extend into most of the major Wall Street banks. According to a 2016 reportfrom the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Deutsche Bank is heavily interconnected financially to JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America as well as other mega banks in Europe. The IMF concluded that Deutsche Bank posed a greater threat to global financial stability than any other bank as a result of these interconnections – and that was when its market capitalization was tens of billions of dollars larger than it is today.

As I said after the last “crisis”, isn’t “too big to fail” really “too big to exist”?

Seems like the corporate tax code could be used effectively to mitigate this risk.  For example, a balance sheet that is bigger than the Federal budget is subject to a 5% excess tax.  And, no one can get a W2 for more than the President gets. How about that executives get 20 year non-transferable non-optionable corporate bonds for their compensation more than the President?  (Guess they’d have to be sure the Firm survives long enough for their bonds to pay off!)

Corporations are creations of the Gooferment and can be treated badly like this.

Oh, and yes, no “campaign contributions”!

NBC News — or NBC propaganda?

Monday, July 22, 2019

Alternatively, NBC could provide time to policy experts from the conservative think tanks or from journals of opinion like The New Criterion, National Review, First Things or City Journal. To be fair, the network should allow each advocate similar amounts of air time and in the same format.

It’s propaganda!

How about getting Joe the Plumber to do the interview?

Of course, they may have to bleep the “Are you @#$%^& kidding me?” that I’d expect from him.

Monday, July 22, 2019

“A SLAPP filer doesn’t go to court to seek justice; they are just trying to silence or harass or intimidate a critic of theirs,” Mascagni said.Some states have laws against SLAPP lawsuits, but there is no federal anti-SLAPP statute.Earlier this year, the Federal Trade Commission began cracking down on businesses that put gag clauses in their consumer contracts in violation of the Consumer Review Fairness Act.

That’s all the consumer can do is the internet version of tell 100 friends.

Seaside Heights Officials Decry ‘Disgraceful’ $100 Private Parking Lot Fees | Lavallette-Seaside Shorebeat

Thursday, July 18, 2019

Seaside Heights council members didn’t hold back at their first meeting since the July 4 holiday, when both officials and visitors began seeing private parking lots in town charging up to $100 for one day’s worth of parking.”To charge this kind of money and chase people away is a crime,” said Co

​Here we go again with politicians and bureaucrats determining what’s good for us all.  If a lot owner wants to charge 100$, let them.  I doubt that they’ll succeed with that ​business model.  Especially when there’s free parking at the bay.  Just let the invisible hand of the free market supply discipline.  It can do it faster, cheaper, and better than any Gooferment Diktat.  Argh!
