========== Just revealed by Q - alternate facts about the war! In 1941, FDR, not wanting to cause alarm or upset the stock market, responded to a reporter's question by observing that a tiny raid on Hawaii - which is not part of the United States - might have left 5-10 with minor injuries from which they will soon recover.. He called on the governors of every state to take such steps as they saw fit to raise, train, and equip the National Guard - or not. When asked what the national plan was, he said THAT was the national plan - the National Guard of course! Members of his government that disagreed were dismissed for not being good team players, so all the senators from his party hastened to agree with the president. But involuntary military service was viewed as an infringement of freedom and led to demonstrations by civilians, armed for combat against politicians, AGAINST arming civilians for combat against an exaggerated, if not fake news, threat. FDR applauded their stand for their rights against overbearing state governors of the other party, since the raids would disappear overnight in warmer weather, or after the election. So states that had not actually been raided or invaded turned on the bright lights and went back to the beaches and bars to celebrate. After the Germans conquered New York and the Japanese California, FDR sent Roy Cohn to court in both states to argue that the invasion was fake news based on a stack of affidavits from unimpeachable sources like William Joyce and Mildred Gillars. On his way to the golf course, FDR mentioned to reporters that the nation had "turned a corner" by mobilizing Cohn, and that his political opponents were trying to create panic and upset the stock market and should be tried for treason - with their heads on poles. FDR added that any states that did suffer damages should blame their governors, all from the other party, for letting tiny raids dominate them, since he HAD suggested they take steps. FDR received affectionate letters of congratulations on his re-election from the strong leaders of several important countries, including Vidkun Quisling and Ion Antonescu, before the election campaign had even begun. == topic other 1 ===== hide 1 impact 263 impactrate 0 likeimpress 4 negative 1 posted 2020-11-20 priority 1 ratio 7 react 7 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 2 title Just revealed by Q - alternate facts about the war! topic other wordrate 0 words 376 ID 1296229830721533 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1296229830721533 audclicks 2 audreach 1 engaged 4 hideclicks 1 hideclicksusers 1 impress 60 likeclickusers 4 likeimpress 4 likeuimpress 44 likeusers 3 likeuusers 41 matchedotherclicks 2 negclicks 1 negusers 1 oimpress 60 oreach 53 posted "11/20/2020 09:49:32 AM" postotherclicks 1 reach 53 type Status ========== Unclear on the concept of feudalism!

Actually the best from many points of view would be to just adopt UT everywhere all the time, but that would be inconvenient in the US in that the date would change in late afternoon or early evening. But anything that requires a global point of view - astronomy, aviation, meteorology, GPS, the internet - runs on UT underneath whatever facade it might have. Standard time was invented by the railroads, the first industry that moved fast enough that it made a difference. You can tell that changing back and forth is just a temperate-zone hack. They don't bother in the tropics, because the length of the day doesn't change much, and they don't bother in far-northern regions, where one hour wouldn't be nearly enough adjustment. == topic other ===== impact 0 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2020-08-28 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title No more spring forward/fall back! topic other wordrate 0 words 142 ID 1225536914457492 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1225536914457492 impress 18 likeuimpress 6 likeuusers 5 oimpress 18 oreach 8 posted "08/28/2020 08:49:18 PM" reach 8 type Link ========== Moral persons of any religion might understand that prostitution diminishes both parties.

FOIA guarantees that anybody can see that information. It's hard to believe that anybody tending toward anti-semitism has not heard of the Protocols and doesn't already know where to find them. The interesting information in this FOIA disclosure, that might not be so easy to find otherwise, is the FBI's evaluation - "reports from the FBI classifying the book as false. Included is a 1964 report from the Senate Judiciary Committee, in which they call the text “fabricated” and “crude and vicious nonsense.” There are also several letters to former FBI director J. Edgar Hoover noting a troubling resurgence of the text." Shouldn't we be glad of proof that over many years, the FBI has been doing its job tracking anti-semitism along with other threats?

Kids like to watch TV - do it at school where the content can be kept age-appropriate and constructive. The goal is to minimize the number of students attending physical school so that group sizes can be as small as possible, while allowing parents who need to work to do so, and while minimizing the stress on teachers.

His actual exploits might have been magnified by favorable media coverage, to the extent that Fort Bragg, CA was named for him, by one of his former junior officers. His career in the Civil War was much less distinguished. Poor health and a difficult personality led to lots of enemies who blamed him for various defeats, and again his actual shortcomings may have been magnified by unfavorable media coverage influenced by his enemies. But it's hard to see why even Confederate enthusiasts would argue for naming an important Army base for him. He accomplished nothing significant after the war. What about Fort Bragg, CA? It was named after him for his real or reported exploits in the Mexican War. One of the impetuses for the Mexican War was the desire in the South to create more slave states to prevent a free-state majority in the Senate. How did Bragg feel about that?

Still time to catch the Wagner virus for free at https://www.metopera.org/ What makes the Ring a monument of Western civilization? Like the Iliad, people in all times and places find these old stories still resonate. It's just a story of a strong young guy who wanted to conquer the world and didn't think twice about the consequences of killing the World Ash Tree to make his spear of power, nor of the transactional deals he engraved on his spear one after another, until at last he's caught in his web of overpromises. Meanwhile his mirror-opposite twin has unlocked the power of gold to rule men's and women's lives and encapsulated it in a ring. Who gets the ring rules the world, unless it is returned to its natural place. But the ring has become viral, fatal to all who desire or possess it. After fifteen hours of some of the most difficult singing in opera, the world of corrupt gods, simple-minded giants, and scheming dwarves finally comes to a fiery end today. What will the surviving humans learn from all of that? Let's see if we can identify the characters - Gunther, the weak-willed easily manipulated ratings-obsessed nominal leader - who might that be? The Siegfried hero is Fauci, the only one who can accomplish certain tasks, who however will just be in the way when those tasks are done. Certainly Alberich is Putin, manipulating the action indirectly through Hagen to get the power back for himself, though Hagen might have other ideas - but who is Hagen? Bannon, Miller, Tucker Carlson, Don Jr? Loge isn't personified in this opera, but dirty trickster Roger Stone might fill the bill. The also absent, ancient, all-wise Erda who refuses to get involved - might be Hillary Clinton. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_Ring_des_Nibelungen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-r4Dz4VjfA0 For comic relief, it's followed tonight by Wagner's only comedy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Meistersinger_von_N%C3%BCrnberg You can tell it's a comedy because nobody dies. == topic other ===== impact 32 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2020-03-28 ratio 15 react 1 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 1 title The world ends today! topic other wordrate 0 words 321 ID 1107353549609163 URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1107353549609163 audclicks 1 audreach 1 engaged 1 impress 23 likeuimpress 15 likeuusers 12 matchedlinkclicks 1 oimpress 23 oreach 15 posted "03/28/2020 06:32:09 AM" postlinkclicks 1 reach 15 type Link ========== A triumph for Management by Objectives!
