Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
GAME OVER: Celebrity ‘Impeachment Task Force’ Is Formed to Hold POTUS ‘Accountable for Crimes’ ~ Hollywood malcontents are taking matters into their own hands ~
The Democratic Coalition is countering with a new “Impeachment Task Force” studded with liberal celebrities to protect lawmakers seeking to hold Trump “accountable for his betrayal of America.”
The task force, designed to lead rapid response to Trump during the impeachment inquiry, has confirmed members including comedian Rosie O’Donnell; actors Tom Arnold, Ron Perlman and George Takei; and actresses Debra Messing and Alyssa Milano.
Well, that’s certainly impressive. Every foul-mouthed, mentally unstable celebrity who has been making a case to be involuntarily committed to a mental institution for the last three years is now the official lunatic social media team for House Democrats.
No doubt Robert De Niro will be an honorary member.
India issues terror alert for Jewish, Israeli targets on Yom Kippur ~ Anti-semitism is on the rise everywhere. In this case the threat is apparently from Islamists. (Although Hindus aren’t much more tolerant of religious minorities) ~
According a Channel 12 news report on Friday, Israeli security services are working with their Indian counterparts to thwart any potential attack over the Jewish holiday period, which runs until October 21.
The Israeli embassy in New Delhi, synagogues, Chabad buildings, Jewish schools, restaurants and hotels known as popular destinations among Israeli travelers have all been put on high alert with increased security.
Heartless: Wind Industry Covers Up Health Effects Caused by Low-Frequency Turbine Noise ~ Stop These Things provides extensive documentation on the significant health risks posed by wind farms ~
Thumping and grinding at all hours of the day and night, it’s a soul destroying cacophony. It’s the peaks and troughs in the sound pressure level that drives neighbours insane. What’s referred to as ‘amplitude modulation’ […]
Individuals and communities are collectively reporting the same NOCEBO effects, heart palpitations, ringing in the ears, dizziness, nausea, disorientation, sleep disorders, and other disorders from nearby industrial wind. There is no global conspiracy, there is only a mountain of data (data is when you have enough anecdotes) contradicting the narrative that such wind power is clean, safe and free.
Schiff’s Own Ties to Ukraine Raise Questions ~ Hmmm… No conflict of interest here?
Schiff’s ties to a wealthy Russian-American businessman doing business in Ukraine have recently come to light. Igor Pasternak is CEO of Worldwide Aeros Corp., a company that makes blimps for the military and commercial sectors. The company also makes a modified version of the M4 and M16 rifles that are manufactured in Ukraine. His connection to Pasternak, who is doing business with the Ukrainian government, could be construed as being a conflict of interest in his committee’s investigation.
Democrats Have Committed, Are Committing Every Crime They Accuse Trump Of ~ Like I was saying. The Federalist’s Sean Davis spoke with FOX Business Network host Lou Dobbs (video).
Palestinians Steal Electricity, Then Blame Israel ~ The whole Palestinian saga in a nutshell; perpetual victimhood, brought on by their own fecklessness ~
Apparently, the Palestinians believe that they have a “right” to free electricity — even if that leads to the collapse of their own electric company. This conviction is in keeping with the longstanding Palestinian perception that someone else — preferably Israel and Western donors, but basically anyone else — should pay their way in the world, particularly their electricity bills.
The controversy surrounding the unpaid electricity debts is yet another example of the Palestinians’ unceasing search for ways to blame Israel for self-inflicted miseries. Instead of assuming responsibility for the electricity theft and unpaid bills and taking punitive measures against the offenders, the Palestinians are doing what they do best: trying their utmost to convince the world that it is all Israel’s fault.
Putin: I don’t share excitement about Greta Thunberg’s U.N. speech ~ 😀 Me either ~
Putin, chairing a session at an energy forum in Moscow, said: “I may disappoint you but I don’t share the common excitement about the speech by Greta Thunberg.
“No one has explained to Greta that the modern world is complex and different and … people in Africa or in many Asian countries want to live at the same wealth level as in Sweden.” […]
Putin said young people who paid attention to environmental issues should be supported, adding: “But when someone is using children and teenagers in personal interests, it only deserves to be condemned.
“I’m sure that Greta is a kind and very sincere girl. But adults must do everything not to bring teenagers and children into some extreme situations.”
Latest Proof Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump Are Snubbed by the Popular Media ~ But remember them fawning all over Michelle? (Such a fashionista!) ~
Quoting now from a column by Bethany Mandel in Sunday’s New York Post, “Former Conde Nast contributor and freelance writer Stephanie Green told The Post that fashion magazines ‘have become handbooks for the resistance.’” […]
‘We are careful to cover the Trumps in a way that doesn’t glamorize them. Not only because of probable backlash on Twitter, but also people on staff have moral issues with [the president], so we don’t want to cover him in that way.”
At least they’re honest. Intolerant and judgemental – but honest.
UK: ‘Hundreds’ of Transgenders Want to Return to Biological Sex ~ Sad but true. These confused people need psychological help – not affirmation ~
This follows the publication of Boston University research which showed that some 78 per cent of people identifying as trans, non-binary, or “genderqueer” meet the criteria for one or more mental disorders.
Most concerning for Ms Evans (a 28 woman who lived as a male for alomost 10 years), however, is the fact that there appears to be no support network to speak of for people who wish to “detransition”, with one biological woman who approached her saying she had “felt shunned by the LGBT community for being a traitor” when it became known that she wished to return to her birth sex.
But there are plenty of LGBT activists who want to ban “conversion” therapy.
Angela Merkel’s Toll on Germany ~ Once you understand the woman’s background, the mess she’s made of Germany is understandable (And no wonder she and Pres. Trump aren’t exactly best buds ~
De-industrialising Germany today reduces Russia’s military threat on its western flank. This has been an ongoing project of Merkel’s in her years as Chancellor. The Fukushima disaster was an excuse for Merkel to close Germany’s nuclear reactors. The influx of Syrians a couple of years ago was designed to reduce social cohesion.
De-industrialisation of Germany using the global warming hoax as the excuse is ongoing. In Germany it is now called the “climate catastrophe,” even under blue skies with the weather unchanged. Last week the German cabinet had a 15 hour meeting on the subject with the result that a carbon tax has been introduced along with a slew of other measure that will further impinge upon Germany’s economic competitiveness.
Winning: Trump executive order to protect and improve Medicare; lowest unemployment rate in 50 years ~ Seemingly unfazed by the threat of Democrat impreachment, Trump is just keeping calm and carrying on with MAGA. He’s taken numerous action to make Medicare more efficient and effective; and ~
Alexandra Steigrad reports for the New York Post that U.S. unemployment rate fell to a 50-year low last month, dropping to 3.5% and matching a level last seen in December 1969. The jobless rate for Hispanics also hit a new record low, while the jobless rate for African Americans is at its lowest level ever.
Chinese Communists Doing ‘Spectacular Job’ Fighting Poverty, NPR Reporter Says ~ As long as you don’t mind the police state surveillance, relentless religious persecution, concentration camps, forced sterilization and organ harvesting… Ailsa Chang seems to be experiencing a severe case of cognitive dissonance ~
“It’s a party that promised to lift people out of poverty, which truth be told, it has done a spectacular job of, in fact it’s lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, but at the same time, income inequalities have intensified in the last few decades,” Chang said in a Tuesday report.
China Unveils ‘Doomsday Bomb’ While U.S. Military Concentrates on “Diversity” ~ Because the key to every successful military isn’t cohesion, it’s “diversity.”
Steps from Vatican, 200 Catholics implore the angels to banish demons ahead of Amazon Synod ~ Wow. Last Saturday an international coalition of 200 Catholic laity on Saturday assembled in silence near St. Peter’s Square, to pray “as a united army against the enemies of God and the Church.” Francis was unavailable for comment ~
Standing at the foot of Castel Sant’Angelo on the eve of the liturgical feast of St. Michael the Archangel, the international lay coalition launched an “appeal to the angels against the evil spirits,” ahead of the Amazonian Synod being held at the Vatican Oct. 6-27 […]
The coalition, organized by the Rome-based Lepanto Foundation and comprised of some of the most influential movements and Catholic sites, included men and women, young and old who quietly deployed in St. John XXIII Square, ordered in rows of 20 x 10 […]
The preparatory documents for the Amazon Synod have drawn both controversy and criticism from cardinals and bishops of the Catholic Church. German Cardinal Walter Brandmüller openly saying it contains “heresy” and approaches “apostasy.”
