[Powerline] Attorney General Barr’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday offered a preview of coming attractions. He means to get to the bottom of the "spying" conducted by the Obama administration on the Trump presidential campaign. How did it begin? What’s it all about? What was going on? Did it involve abuse of the FISA system?
Of course, you had to tune out the Democratic static and listen to Barr’s exchanges with Republican members to pick up the preview, but it was unmistakably there. The Democrats’ hysteria reflects something more than motiveless malignity; Barr is the Attorney General Democrats should fear.
In a recent appearance appearing on FOX News’s Ingraham Angle, Joe diGenova offered a related preview of his own. Mike Huckabee was the guest host; he wrote about the segment here George Parry wrote about the segment for the American Spectator in "Listen to Joe diGenova." Subtitle: "And in the case of the Obama anti-Trump brigade, be very afraid." I have posted the video to which Parry links below. The FISA court findings to which diGenova alludes are in opinion and order here (Parry recommends pages 82 and following and also highlights diGenova’s praise of former NSA Director Mike Rogers for blowing the whistle on the illegal spying called out by Judge Collyer).
DiGenova asserts certain nonpublic information as a matter of fact: "The FISA court has already communicated with the Justice Department about its findings," and so on. DiGenova is not just a former United States Attorney, according to Parry, he is also former counsel to the FISA court itself. He may well have the knowledge he claims to possess, some of which involves imminent developments. Looking around online, however, one can see that diGenova made a similar prediction a year ago (video here at RealClearPolitics). With respect to his current preview, one can only say let it be.

DiGenova has been front and center in the "deep state is doomed" nonsense since day 1. And yet no arrests, no sentencings. Nothing. It's all disinformation.

It is curious how Rogers has not appeared on a single tv show or published a book. I think he must be negotiating the movie rights. Suggested title: All the Director's Men and Women.

Not much has been heard from Admiral Rogers since his retirement. He was opposed to Brennan losing his security clearance. He stated at the time: “I also thought pouring gasoline on a fire is not going to reduce the flame,” Mr. Rogers continued. “We got enough fires burning right now, guys. We need to focus on what are the outcomes we need to achieve as a nation.” Here.
Perhaps Barr will be talking to Rogers in trying to get to the bottom of Spygate.

Barr might want to talk with the Gang of Eight that was extant at the time and maybe current members. Some of them have left however, Reid, Rogers (the other Mike Rogers), Boehner, etc. Eight. They have Congressional oversight of the intelligence community. I wouldn't be too surprised if they don't want to talk. Some are more interested in subpoenaing DJT Jr. and keeping things under wraps.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The international media has been rife with analysis about the events of April 30th and May 1st, when Venezuelan Interim President Juan Guaidó, recognized by more than 54 countries, launched a popular uprising (in keeping with Sections 333 and 350 of Venezuela’s 1999 Constitution) to garner the support of the military command and oust the dictator Nicolás Maduro. His # OperaciónLibertad inspired the hopes of many millions of Venezuelans, two-thirds of whom are in a slow-motion famine, while Maduro’s pockets grow fatter by the day.
To be fair, Maduro did not invent the greatest kleptocracy of the modern era, with more than $200 billion stolen, according to conservative estimates. His predecessor Hugo Chavez set the mechanisms in place, but Maduro perfected them. In 2002, in response to an oil strike and a 48-hour removal from power, Chavez militarized the state-owned oil company Petróleos de Venezuela, SA (PDVSA). Savvy, internationally-trained oil executives were ousted, and loyalist ideological military commanders ‐ who knew nothing about the oil industry but were tied to narcoterrorist organizations, including Hezbollah ‐ took over.
The transfer of authority enabled grand corruption schemes, with money supposedly designated for economic development flowing through slush funds. With Maduro’s ascent to power, it all got much worse. PDVSA’s finance department became a money laundering mechanism for everyone from Iran to the FARC to Russian organized crime.

Predictably, the Left is claiming this is all a Russian plot and we should ignore it.
This has been known for years. These videos of him fondling children have been up on Youtube for a long time. The media never ran with them because Biden is a Democrat and on their side. In one of them, Jeff Sessions slaps his hand away. They knew.
There were powerful pedophile rings in Europe and the Catholic Church and in Hollywood and in Penn State and in the BBC, but I am an idiot for thinking there's a pedo ring in Washington DC, the power center of the world.

[AlAhram] Will the Egyptian-brokered truce to end military festivities in Gazoo hold?
No. The only question is how long until the next explosion, whether because someone local is in a mood or because Iran demands it again as part of a bigger effort.
The military clash that flared between Israel and Gazoo over the weekend ended as an Egyptian-mediated truce went into effect on dawn on Monday, the first day of fasting in Ramadan.
Paleostinians in Gazoo held funeral ceremonies for their deaders, including three women, two of whom were pregnant, two infants and a child.

[AreoMagazine] My mission in Psychological Operations was to conduct detailed analysis of what drives a population towards certain behaviors, taking historical, cultural, psychological and other possible factors into account, in order to assist in the implementation of Information Operations. The goal was to find useful information that could assist our security force partners in combating terrorist organizations, countering radical ideologies and unifying citizens within the conflicted countries.
Upon being medically retired from the Army in 2016 for PTSD‐including what is referred to now as moral injury‐I left Fort Bragg, North Carolina for the Midwest, to attend a major university. As a teenager, college had never been in my future, and, since I am fascinated by different cultures, I felt this was my opportunity to explore the experience that thousands of kids across the United States get every year.

Total blasphemy! He must be stoned immediately.
I have studied culture across East and West Africa, and this is not the case. Black people across cultures are not the same, and white people across cultures are not the same. In order to produce these theories, small fractions of the population are surveyed, and then generalizations are made about their entire race. A small piece of life is being made to look as if it represents all of life. Believing this is no different from believing that social media represents real life.

A large part of my job was to study beliefs, and I know that they will not change with one discussion, nor through forced logic. They are cemented inside individuals, and can only change over long periods of time.
Yeah, and after they've been brainwashed at our universities it's extremely difficult to talk to them. They freak out when confronted by facts that contradict the dogma that has been shoved down their throats in school. It's really scary. You can't beat them over the head with it. You just have to persist, gently, day in and day out. If I had known that this was being done I would have never forked over all that tuition money. They would be better off as plumbers, electricians or beauticians.

Noam Chumpsky said in 1998: "The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum (stay within the Overton window) of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum – even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."
IMHO, people in the liberal arts and social sciences have shot themselves in both feet (Not so much in the hard sciences.)
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
