Free,
With Strings:
Microsoft apparently
gave
away Windows 10 so it could install a spy system on millions of
computers that can collect every keystroke made on the infected
computer (and Windows 10 is an infection) as well as record and ship
back to Bill every word said within its hearing. But don't worry,
Microsoft promises to sell all your information only to people who
pay for it
it trusts.
Selling
Point:
TPP and TITP are not trade agreements nor partnerships – they are
suicide pacts that
“make global corporations immune to laws and regulations” that
“adversely impact their profits. … It makes no difference whether
the laws protect the environment, the safety of food and workers or
are part of the social fabric.” The
Obama legacy.
Just
Kidding:
US Secret Service agents arrested
kidnapped Roman Seleznev from an airport in the Maldives, a island
nation in the Indian Ocean hundreds of miles south of the tip of
India. Seleznev is a famous Russian hacker who is the son of a
famous Russian legislator. The US can do these sorts of things
because it is the US.
Odds:
Puerto Rican official anticipate that 1 in 4 people there will be
infected by Zika by the end of the year. Plan accordingly.
Finely
Printed:
The Corrections
Corporation of America has a contract with the federal government
that requires the taxpayer give CCA $1 billion over four years to
operate a prison for ICE – even if the building is empty. It was a
no bid contract.
Pattern
Crimes:
In
an echo of travesties in Colorado
and California,
in Iowa a high school tennis star who sexually abused an autistic
teen will do no jail time because “prison would not do this kid any
good.”
It's
not supposed to.
Deep
In The Heart Of:
The Texas legislature has taken $1.6 million of the funds that
should have gone to Planned Parenthood and given it to an
anti-abortion group headed by a woman who believes that HIV is spread
by fetuses flushed into the sewer system and wants women be required
to pay to bury or cremate an aborted fetus.
Asked
and Avoided:
Some
economists wonder if US labor productivity has permanently fallen.
No
one knows, yet.
Better
hope not.
Canary/Coal
Mine:
"Without
an external economic shock it is hard to see policymakers being
prepared to take dramatic, fiscal
action to jumpstart the global economy... Ironically
the shock that is needed would require a collapse in risk assets for
policymakers to then really panic and attempt dramatic fiscal
stimulus."
In
other words, we have to destroy the economy in order to save it.
Promises,
Promises:
It is claimed that if oil prices do not significantly increase, most
Middle Eastern oil states will collapse. Okay.
Scam
Artists:
The Clintons, through their family foundation, took in $337,985,726
in
2014 and claim to have spent 87.2% of it on “program services.”
that leaves about $30 million for “management and general
expenses”. But looking at the foundation's tax returns suggests it
is more like $300 million that doesn't find its way to “program
services.” Or perhaps they have an interesting idea of who the
program is supposed to service.
Our
Gang:
Israel has acknowledge that it bulldozed a group of EU-funded
Palestininan homes that had been built on privately owned Palestinian
land, because it wanted to. Remind me why we keep supporting these
pricks.
Musical
Chairs:
In
today's markets
there
are $100
in
Paper
Gold claims
for each $1 worth of actual gold.

Parting Shot:

I guess we can be thankful that the Clinton scam artist at least released her tax returns so they can be perused?
Thanks for all you do.
Backlash, The NY Times reports in Wisconsin, where the latest civilian death during a traffic stop was reported, not only did the public riot and set fires but for the first time the MEDIA was attacked!
Next thing you know it will be ropes and light pole time!
You don't 'cheat' when it comes to Justice. If the people aren't getting it, they'll make their own!
Um, the question this 'tipping point' suggests is will things escalate or will the 'above the law crowd' make amends?
re: Musical Chairs: In today's markets there are $100 in Paper Gold claims for each $1 worth of actual gold.
that reminds me, earlier this year i showed that daily oil trading for just one oil contract in New York was more than 100 times the amount of oil we produce daily...

"Israel has acknowledge that it bulldozed a group of EU-funded Palestininan homes that had been built on privately owned Palestinian land, because it wanted to. Remind me why we keep supporting these pricks."
Not "pricks". Putzes or schmucks.
AH, yes, TS. I stand corrected. Thanks.
And if that doesn't work, just post the bit you want and send me a good thought or two.
