The Stories are Beginning to Exceed even the Gullibility of Americans, by Paul Craig Roberts – The Unz Review

Saturday, June 15, 2019

The past couple of days have seen interesting developments. The US or Israel struck a Japanese ship with small rockets and tried to blame it on Iranian mines. The Japanese ship owner put a halt to the false flag event. He pointed out that the damage was above, not below the water line and that crew members observed objects approaching in the air.

VETERANS: Pearl Harbor Unmasked, by J. Alfred Powell – The Unz Review

Saturday, June 15, 2019

Stinnett comments: “Pearl Harbor’s Battleship Row and its old dilapidated warships presented a mouth-watering target. But it was a major strategic mistake for the Empire. Japan’s 360 warplanes should have concentrated on Pearl Harbor’s massive oil stores … and destroyed the industrial capacity of the Navy’s dry docks, machine shops, and repair facilities”[249]. Six months later, at the battles of Coral Sea (May 4-8, 1942) and Midway (June 4-7), the warships of the Pacific Fleet which were at sea when the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred permanently destroyed the offensive capacity of the Japanese Navy to operate in the eastern Pacific and permanently crippled its defensive capacity in the western Pacific. Thereafter, as informed observers understood, a Japanese attack or invasion of the West Coast of America was a total logistical impossibility. Nevertheless, two months later, the internment of West Coast Japanese American citizens began in August 1942.

There is no doubt in my mind that FDR contrived this to end the Great Depression.

Guy Writes To Advice Columnist About Lawfully-Armed Daughter

Saturday, June 15, 2019

She’s already refused to cough up the gun, and I don’t blame her. You’re not likely to be the one targeted for rape or assumed to be an easy target for a break-in because she’s female. She is. Should there be a home invasion while you all are there, she’s the one who is likely to get the worst of it. You’re not the one likely to have to deal with a stalker, be it an ex-boyfriend or someone else. In other words, there are a lot of reasons she should keep that gun.

Florida State says privatizing athletics won’t change anything. Skeptics aren’t so sure. – The Washington Post

Saturday, June 15, 2019

“When you take a college program, a state university program, and privatize it, there’s only one reason you’re going to do that, and that’s to hide things. Why else would you do it?” she said. “There’s no advantage to it other than avoiding oversight and accountability.”

More corruption in the Gooferment!

Why are their “State Universities”?

Gooferment Skrules are just wrong — at any level!

Democrats have set themselves a major ‘climate trap’

Friday, June 14, 2019

Bearing real costs for the sake of the climate will always be a sucker’s game for any one country so long as there isn’t a global regime mandating emission reductions (and, thankfully, there isn’t anything remotely like the political will for such a regime). It was supposed to be a disaster when Trump pulled out of the Paris accords, but G-20 countries haven’t been on pace to meet their goals regardless.

City Completes Process of Installing Paul Robeson Blvd. Signs | TAPinto

Thursday, June 13, 2019

Residents, business owners and leaders of houses of worship on the street are encouraged to begin the process of changing their addresses.

As of June 1, they will have up to 18 months to inform all agencies and businesses that the address on file and let them know of the change.

All addresses on the street will see a change in the street name, but the numerical part of the address will stay the same. For example, 1 Commercial Ave. will now be 1 Paul Robeson Blvd.

The signs are the cheap part of this change.

I’m imagining all the costs, inconveniences, and errors that imposed on “We, The Sheeple” to do this.  It’s a “tax” on living.

I’m not disputing that it could or should be done.  I am objecting to the costs being imposed by the Gooferment on others.

Gooferment is force and here is just one tiny example of it.

Argh!

Is this a sign of things to come?

Yes, streaming works well with fiber optic to the home, but who has that?

And certainly no one is investing in that.  Google tried and seems to have failed.

Maybe there is a place for municipal or “community” broadband?  After all that’s how cable TV got started!

The Day the Music Burned

Tuesday, June 11, 2019

The fire made news around the world, and the destruction of the video vault featured prominently in the coverage. But nearly all news outlets characterized the vault fire as a close call, in which worst cases were averted. The New York Times reported that “a vault full of video and television images” had burned up, but added that “in no case was the destroyed material the only copy of a work,” a claim attributed to Universal Studios officials. Subsequent articles focused on the fire’s impact on film festivals, which relied on prints from Universal’s library. But journalists moved on from the story, and there has never been a full accounting of film and video losses in the fire.
