Dying red leaves resplendent in the brightest morning shine I see.

It’s the fall. Dying time. For all old leaves.

No rage just sad awareness that the cold winter and death for all that’s old is just a breath away.

Not sad. Just a fact. Make way for the new, the young, the untired.

Body Doubles: A Very Handy Politico’s Tool, From LBJ to HRC
By Phillip F. Nelson
September 14, 2016

*** begin quote ***

An interesting story about a purported “Hillary Double” is now bouncing around the internet, even though it has not yet broken through the “glass ceiling” that covers the Mainstream Media (MSM), except for a few places where it is mentioned in hushed tones, as yet another “conspiracy theory.”

*** and ***

The accompanying report notes the fact that when Mrs. Clinton left the event at the 9/11 memorial ceremony she collapsed and had to be lifted by several of her attendants into her van. Clearly, that vehicle is specially equipped to accommodate her needs and is never very far away from where she is. After it drove off, instead of taking the obviously very ill candidate to a hospital, it turned out that less than an hour later, she emerged from her daughter Chelsea’s apartment building looking as “fit as a fiddle.” Still another rumor has it that Chelsea’s apartment includes a special room that is equipped just for her mother’s needs: A standard hospital room, with the bed and all the other related medical appliances one might find in a hospital.

What gives the story “legs” (no pun intended) is that when Hillary did emerge from the apartment building, she seemed to have lost about 20 pounds in the process and had apparently even changed her earrings, even though she seemed to be wearing the same clothes as she previously had worn at the ceremony. But another interesting point was observed which also makes the entire vignette quite a bit more enigmatic: She was alone, not one Secret Service agent or the large black man in suit and tie who is usually always at her side, carrying something that looks a lot like a medical device even though her campaign says it’s only a flashlight (But why is he always carrying it in the daylight)? And worse, she wanders out to the sidewalk and proceeds to hug a young girl, even though she was just diagnosed with contagious pneumonia! As America is temporarily “relieved” to see the candidate recuperate almost instantly to what had seemed to be a severe, life-threatening medical emergency, the cloak of concern simply morphs into one of astonishment. Not to the wonders of modern medical treatments that could work so immediately, but to the question of what is truth, contrasted with what is possibly related to the worlds of sorcery and black magic: A product not of medical technology, but that of the world of ages-old gypsies and grifters: It’s known colloquially as “blue smoke and mirrors.”

Sorry, but I agree that they are using a “body double”.

The tip off is nothing that looks like Secret Service!

Argh!

British Exit Not a Done Deal
By Jason Stapleton –  Jun 24, 2016 673

*** begin quote ***

Markets are in an uproar today after the UK voted to leave the EU. But has anyone bothered to look at what happens next? I think a lot of people believe that a British separation from the EU is inevitable, even imminent but nothing could be further from the truth.

By my estimation, it’s going to take at least two and a half years for the UK to make it’s transition and that’s assuming there are no political shenanigans that come up. Considering that a mere 2% separated the winners from the losers, it would not be at all unlikely to see some MP’s step up to block the referendum from being implemented.

What you need to understand is that we are years away from any change coming to the trading relationship between the UK and EU, and a lot can happen between now and then.

From the EU discussion, we’ll move to guns where I’ll play some interesting comments from Charlie Rangel, who apparently believes he deserves to be protected by guns while you should be forced to fend for yourself.

*** end quote ***

Obviously, BREXIT, if not sabotaged by the effete elite, will take several years to unwind.

Hopefully, it will spur a bunch of mini —EXITs. 

I hope New Hampshire is one, but I think Texas needs to lead and be first. (Although, imho, North Dakota with the fracking oil and the only State Bank — the Bank of North Dakota — is the best prepared to EXIT since it doesn’t need the “services” of the Federal Reserve.)

ALSO

Jason excoriates Rangel with his snide laugh at the stupid “law abiding people”. (Made my blood boil!)

ALSO

Jason points out that the “civilian” Gooferment has more troops than the USMC! WTH!!!

Department of Education has SWAT teams? Why?

EPA, IRS, NOAA, FDA … … why?

Argh!

“Selective Service” is an idea whose time has past! Like NATO! Or all the other big Gooferment programs.

Never will be ever to get rid of any of these programs.

Seven Common TEOTWAWKI Misconceptions, by Brian T.

*** begin quote ***

Misconception number four:  Roving criminal hordes will come from the urban environment to your rural home or Bug Out Location (BOL).  Nope, these people do not play chess or even checkers; they do not plan ahead much at all.  Criminals, with few exceptions are lazy.  And many are on drugs.  Yes, a few will flee at the very beginning if they have a specific refuge in mind, the uncle with the farm, but most will not leave their familiar comfortable environment.  Even if they have an operational vehicle capable of the trip it is likely to be low on fuel, particularly these days.  They will burn up what little fuel they have driving around their usual haunts, to the liquor and drug stores, then to the convenience or grocery store like they did before the event until their tank is empty.  Walking or biking to save fuel will never cross their mind. No gas means no travel for this group.  There will be rare exceptions.

*** and ***

In a crisis, do not plan on doing things you have never done and do not plan on other people’s behavior to change, neither one is very likely.

*** end quote ***

Interesting.

Reminds me of that story where the guy build a retreat, and unbuilt it, that was virtually undetectable.

Maybe all the planning and thinking about TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) is just foolishness. 

But it does make sense to plan for the bad things that can happen more frequently (i.e., storms, power outages, financial turmoil, political unrest).

Doing nothing / planning nothing just ensures failure.

Argh!

America drops sale-of-secrets-to-China case against Temple physics professor after making embarrassing – and crucial – evidence error

• Dr Xi Xiaoxing had been accused of sharing sensitive American-made technology with China
• The FBI said he had sent details of a secret sophisticated device known as a ‘pocket heater’ to Chinese scientists
• The federal agents claimed they had the blueprints for the heater that Dr Xi had passed on as a ‘spy’
• It now turns out the blueprints weren’t for the pocket heater at all
• All charges against Dr Xi have been dropped –  four months after he was led away in handcuffs, his career on the brink of ruin   
• On Friday he lashed out at the FBI for putting his family through hell for no reason whatsoever, saying: This is not a joke. This is not a game’

An American scientist who was accused of being a spy for China has had all the charges against him dropped after the FBI admitted it had made a massive mistake in arresting him in the first place.

Federal agents had claimed they had evidence that Dr Xi Xiaoxing sent the secret blueprints for a sophisticated U.S. device called a ‘pocket heater’ to Chinese scientists.

But months after the physics professor was led away in handcuffs from Temple University, where he works, the FBI admitted the blueprints they found were not for the heater at all – but for a totally innocuous gadget.

On Friday night, Dr Xi, 57, said in a phone interview reported in the New York Times: ‘I don’t expect them to understand everything I do. But the fact that they don’t consult with experts and then charge me? Put my family through all this? Damage my reputation? They shouldn’t do this. This is not a joke. This is not a game.’ 

*** end quote ***

Maybe the agents have been listening to the Donald and his anti-Chinese rhetoric?

In actuality, the Gooferment is immoral, ineffective, and inefficient. And here’s an example.

Black Eye for the FBI.

Guess they have to go back to setting up fools for charges.

HOSPITAL PATIENT SMOKES IN BED, STARTS FIRE, DIES

BALTIMORE, Nov. 9 (UPI) — 
A hospital patient in Baltimore died Friday after starting a fire while smoking in bed, fire officials said.

* * * * *

For thise who have read my biography of Frau Reinke, I tell the story of how she was put in an overflow ward at Saint Peter hospital and some bozo was smoking. When the staff did not ever care to fix the situation, I call the Fire Depoartment. That crusty old New Brunsiwck Fire Cheif certainly cared!

When I read this story, I gave myself a patt on the back. It was many years ago. I forget the date. And, whle Frau Reinke was majorly POed at me, I never felt bad. 

Now I feel proud of that decision!

Laff! I bet wherever she is she is still POed about it.
