on a long business trip I had driven about 600 miles to South Carolina. I was
there for two days driving and parking in numerous spots without incident. On
the last day when getting ready to drive home. My brake pedal went straight to
the floor. Fortunately I was only moving at about 2 mph. Only
minutes before that total hydraulic failure I had had my vehicle moved to where
I would load my equipment. The man who drove it had experienced not
problems. </p>

master cylinder brake line had been corroding at a fitting unobserved for quite
some time. It was at that moment the metal burst leaving me without any
brakes. </p>

all transpired in a parking lot of a transit agency with no other vehicles
immediately nearby. A few minutes later I would have been on the highway
cruising on home. This catastrophic failure could have been deadly. </p>

repairs had to wait until the next day after having the vehicle towed to a
repair shop. It took all day to get done from having to locate parts and
fabricate the shape of the pipe. It turned out the shop replaced the failed
section of pipe and all the others which were equally old. </p>

I got home I had my usual mechanic inspect every hydraulic line, the calipers,
master cylinder and the ABS block. I was not going to have a repeat occurrence
of an identifiable weakness. </p>

advance of some upcoming interstate road trips I decided my existing four tires
would be replaced before I headed out. They all had good tread depth but might
harbor hidden flaws which could manifest the Principle of Imminent Collapse.</p>

4114, means the tire was manufactured in the 41st week of 2014. Specifically,
my tires were nine years old. I had been pushing the envelope for a while.
Every mile brought them closer to one of the four experiencing tread separation
or a blowout due to failure of the steel belts. <p></p>

I am the originator of the statement of the Principle of Imminent Collapse itself
and am fully aware of the perils of ignoring it, I spent the morning waiting in
the installation of four new tires. </p>

had to fight the reluctance of replacing four good looking tires. I had to
resist the temptation of procrastination. I had to rationalize the fact that
95% of tire failures occur in the last 10% of its service life. </p>
<p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; min-height: 29px;"> </p>

a nail or shard of glass can fail a new tire. A pothole can crack the seal at
the bead. A manufacturing defect may be present. However, all of those events
are beyond the control of good management of the Principle of Imminent Collapse
and the Nudges which brings on the failure. </p>
<p style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; min-height: 29px;"> </p>

one watches for the imminent failures they can be averted. The failure might
not be stopped but horrendous outcomes can. </p>

the phrase “a stitch in time, saves nine” is an early wisdom and admonition to
heed the PIC and its consequences. </p>

This was a computational device which could imitate a human and not self-terminate at some point in its computational run. If a human would interact with the machine via a blind communication channel and not be able to reliably determine if they were talking to another person or the machine, then the machine passed the Turing Test. Until now no machine has been able to pass.

</p><p class="MsoNormal">I can't help thinking that the fate of the Titan deep-sea
submersible is an example of the Principle of Imminent Collapse. The designers
chose a number of characteristics and construction innovations and build a
device which would ultimately fail catastrophically. All it took was The Nudge.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Principle of Imminent Collapse states that everything in
our experience is on the verge of failure and all it takes is the Nudge to make
it collapse. In so many examples this principle manifest itself in the worst
ways possible. In other articles I present some famous examples.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Barring some as yet unknown vector of failure such as a
torpedo, a giant squid or Neptune himself, The Titan succumbed to the pressures
of the deep and in an instant crushed the interior of the vessel. The failure would
have been preceded by a few moments of creaking noises then a WHOOSH. The 96
hours of oxygen and life support would ultimately be unnecessary.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unless the mission involved a dive too deep the failure
would have been unexpected yet not unpredictable. Pressure vessels have a
useful life which can only be exceeded at the peril of those around it. The two
kinds of pressure vessels are ones designed for internal pressure like a SCUBA
tank or an acetylene welding rig. The other is the one for external pressure
such as a submarine. The Beebe-Barton Bathysphere <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was a steel ball-shaped container which was
lowered on a cable into the icy dark depths of the ocean. It set depth records
with its missions. It had communications and power from the surface and was
retrievable by the surface operator.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Titan was a free dive device which had supposedly
redundant system to self-rescue in the event of mission ending conditions. The
one which could not be survived is the one which ended its time. All materials
undergoing cyclic stresses are subject to material fatigue even when the
ultimate strengths are not exceeded. Jet engines are an exercise in predicting
fan blade failures before they happen and explode the engine in flight. Every
aircraft which flies above the altitude where cabin pressurization is required
experiences the cyclic expansion and relaxation of the fuselage. The metal will
eventually crack. Those cracks will propagate until the structure fails. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is why the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia in not rung any
more. Its crack would get longer with each and eventually peal a large chunk of
the bell would fall off. The contraction and expansion of the composite
materials of the Titan submersible introduced regions of delamination which
would only be recognized by the sensors place on the hull. They knew there was
a problem that needed constant monitoring. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hubris is one of the causes of the Principle of Imminent
Collapse manifesting early failures. They believed they had way to know when
enough was enough. The problem was the interval between first warning and
failure was way too short. If there was any earlier indications of imminent
collapse and they ignored them, they were living on borrowed time. In such
hostile environments there is very little time to decide to abort and get into
shallower water. Reports were made that some technical staff had misgivings about the integrity of the craft.<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It was a case of "one time too many." It was also
a case that the immediately previous mission was on the verge of the same
failure and that crew got lucky. The Titan was a million dollar piece of
hardware. It needed to make a minimum number of missions in order to be
financially sustainable. Its last mission exceeded the parameters and failed.
Unfortunately one never knows when the Principle of Imminent Collapse will
determine the last mission. Only the humans can decide to call it a day and

I checked into a motel and went out to peruse the area and decide what my subject for the next day would be.</p><p>The sign said "Circular Church" so I stopped and looked around.

</p><p class="MsoNormal">Internal Crossing is a book like no other. It is a Science
Fiction tale which keeps changing. We all learn that the Future is an unknown
and the Past is immutable. But this story proposes that the Past is indeed
changing "all the time" but most of us have no realization of it.
What could accomplish such a task? No spoilers here. The protagonist, Robert3
Corbin realizes he is not singular in this reality and that many versions of himself
are out there "coming and going" with the changing past.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The term Internal Crossing is also stock market jargon. This
is not that. At least not the same the last time I looked.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The characters in this book are multidimensional and as real

One one hand the quality is essential, but one must have a sufficient quantity in order to engage the largest audience. Quantity doesn’t mean you as the photographer don’t need to maintain your level of quality. You can have both.

<span style="font-size: large;">ClickASnap Photo Sharing
</span></h3>
<div class="post-header">
</div>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">In January of 2023 I learned of the existence of the photo sharing
platform "ClickASnap.com". It promised to generate revenues from user
views of my photos. While it does what it claims to do, the ROI for the
effort incurred is very low. At 7/10ths of a cent per "Authentic View"
one needs needs 14,285 of them to earn $100. An Authentic View is one
where the user views the photo for at least 5 seconds.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">With the
Free account, the $100 needs 100,000 authentic Views. even at the Pro
level the $100 needs 11,111 Authentic views. Obviously, the more photos
uploaded the more opportunities there are to garner the requisite number
of views. The ratio of ordinary views to Authentic Views in my
experience is about 25%. That is a lot of work for the revenues.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Maybe
as time moves on, the number of Authentic Views might approach 14k per
month, i.e. $100, when more users discover my account. Meanwhile, the
jury is still out on whether this platform and its revenue policy is
worthwhile. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://clickasnap.com/Lens4anEye" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="987" data-original-width="1004" height="315" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTqYL5El1HBo7D1rZuL9XnyutbSCulOPyu3XimCZYtb-DruNfg4iENhtBJlbY3BP6jEzVHx4nWHJ5Ymc0hjsQ4CR4wVbmVVlHrgI-e2j2GCH5QtJ5z8-S1lRQx6FD18BxJA3UQ3b3vJncLkBWeqn7d3YFRd5LoKXRiS1xpw5xC8ZD0L5dpnMT9PbRQ/s320/lens4aneye.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Please visit my ClickASnap.com gallery at <a href="https://www.Clickasnap.com/profile/Lens4anEye " rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Clickasnap.com/Lens4anEye </a></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"> </span><br /></p>Tuna Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02454266137206818053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7227119460795708211.post-52066139351878507362022-09-29T08:32:00.000-07:002022-09-30T10:59:55.099-07:00eBook pre-order of OUTER CROSSING<p><span style="font-size: x-large;">Outer Crossing </span></p><p>The 3rd Book in the Crossing Series</p><p>by Robert<span style="font-size: xx-small;">3</span> Carlson</p><span class="gvxzyvdx aeinzg81 t7p7dqev gh25dzvf exr7barw b6ax4al1 gem102v4 ncib64c9 mrvwc6qr sx8pxkcf f597kf1v cpcgwwas m2nijcs8 hxfwr5lz k1z55t6l oog5qr5w tes86rjd pbevjfx6 ztn2w49o" dir="auto"><div class="m8h3af8h l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"></div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">I've made OUTER CROSSING, the 3rd Book in the Crossing Series, available for <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGQHBSVZ?ref_=pe_3052080_276849420">pre-order</a> on Amazon. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">These books are a grand tour of Sci-fi in the quantum universe genre.</div></div><div class="l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f"><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"> </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;">The publishing date is Oct 31, 2022.

Somewhere around age 13 I started recording the thoughts I had and the
experiences I went through. Granted most of that is not the kind of fare
that anyone would be interested in reading, but over the years I have
honed that narrative style that does provide for a consistent level of
interest by the reader. </div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"></div><div dir="auto" style="text-align: start;"><p>My first attempts at publishing resulted in nothing published but
then eBooks and the Internets came along and some of that here-to-fore
unpublished material found a new outlet.</p><p>My books cover
existential fiction blended with a lot of true story. The first three
volumes represent just the beginning. The backlog of material extends
back in time 50 years. Readers will be spared most of that early "stuff"
except as accents and punctuation in a larger more contemporary
writing.</p><p>Along with my Left Brain language dominant thinking I
also have a Right Brain image dominant thinking that is expressed in a
prolific photography legacy. I hope to be able to properly format an
eBook of some of the photographic themes that I have covered since 1971.
</p><p>Along with the flights of fancy in the fiction, I also have a

It depends on the continuation of interest in the the cyberspace which is created and maintained by the SysAdmin. Recently the Facebook Corporation made the move to forward the development of a Metaverse in which is billions of subscribers could interact as avatars walking around in a virtual world free of physical contact between biological bodies.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTK0vNcx4Jkm7FIzQ33_3PzGewm3m08Uz-pOOgSC5XtyHzvXvWvIBIacz1lLDN_YkvGsbyfttiMCYey63UCM_Pv0jgtbkgDMD-J56ayDMs5qa4btxv3e1f_BzaTYn-4FDl7bJg8XHl5h2B/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Galaxy shaped glob of light" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTK0vNcx4Jkm7FIzQ33_3PzGewm3m08Uz-pOOgSC5XtyHzvXvWvIBIacz1lLDN_YkvGsbyfttiMCYey63UCM_Pv0jgtbkgDMD-J56ayDMs5qa4btxv3e1f_BzaTYn-4FDl7bJg8XHl5h2B/w320-h240/quantum+universe+fb+profile+pic.jpg" title="One Metaverse" width="320" /></a></div> <p></p><p>The idea that a single entity could own and control an entire existence runs afoul of the degrees of freedom people have come to expect in that realm. The real world is governed by powerful cadres of people who own everything even the water and air. They have monetized every aspect of the experience one can have. The same situation is developing in the metaverse. Actually, it is metaverses, plural, since the rush is on to create the next and best place for subscribers to come and play. Every video game is itself a micro metaverse, a bubble existence, where noting else outside the server exists.</p><p>In the same way a mining town in western states once grew up to be the place to be and get rich, the metaverses are on the same track. That track ends with the boom town becoming a ghost town where no one cares to be anymore. Company towns all across the nation are dilapidated remnants of their former selves. Few hangers-on remain to haunt the town but no one is maintaining them as they fall further into decay.</p><p>Every human settlement, i.e. town, villages and cities all need a reason to exist. Metaverses are no different. Styles change. Technologies improve and evolve. What was once state of the art is now yesterday's glory. The only way to assure continuation of human interest is the continual creation-destruction process. Hush Puppies were once THE SHOE to wear. No Longer. They did have a short lived revival, but they are once again passe. DOOM once was THE GAME to play on a computer. Pockets of enthusiasts strive to keep alive their favorite games just like their grand and great-grand-fathers keep alive their recollections of past wars and their part in them.</p><p style="text-align: center;">"Metaverses come and metaverses go, but the Megaverse abides."</p><p>The Megaverse is the universal set of all possible metaverses. No one person or corporation controls that space. A nation controls its currency by fiat, that is merely declaring its currency is a medium of exchange. In that manner, Bitcoin, Ethereum and a 1000 other cryptocurrencies are fiat if an authority says it is. One government can declare its currency Legal Tender but so can a hundred million (or more) holders of Zagnut candy bars. The utility of Zagnut bars may be limited to transactions sanctions by its holders, but they can be a medium of exchange nonetheless. The difference with cryptocurrencies is there is no central bank. Tens or hundreds of thousands (even millions) of computers all over the world process transactions and every owner of that currency agrees it has value by buying, selling and exchanging the currencies one for another and for assets either digital or physical.</p><p>One must keep in mind that ALL money is a medium of exchange for items a group of buyers and sellers which to exchange. Currencies collapse too. Only when they are stable and the holders keep faith in them, are they of any value.</p><p>Visiting and existing in a metaverse takes a leap of faith that being there will continue to satisfy the populace who reside there. If there is no reason to exist, it will cease to be of value and will eventually disappear into the dusty back roads of history. A metaverse has value if people say it does and go there to share their experiences with others who are there.</p><p>Metaverses need objects and developed spaces. Developers will create those digital assets when users demand them. Say you are a James Bond wannabee. You create an avatar who is handsome and svelte. Standing there in your BVDs won't make much of a positive impression. You'll want a tuxedo to impress the ladies. The easiest way to get a tux is to buy one from a clothing developer. Those people will digitize the articles of clothing and sell it to you as a non-fungible token (NFT) and you can wear it to the MetaCasino where you can sit at the Baccarat table and gamble your ETH and BTC. There you may see a beautiful woman avatar wearing the finest Halston NFT-Dress. She had to buy that one too. You want to impress her and send virtual drinks to her, shaken not stirred. Conversely, you might be the woman dressed to the Nines to meet a dashing man-about-town who has Double-O status. Maybe, just maybe you'll need a virtual room for additional activities. <br /></p><p>For a limited time you are entertained by the notion you are suave and debonair or glamorous and dazzling, and it will cost you. Probably not as much as actually dressing up for the evening and going to a classy casino and meeting someone to pass the time with. This is the promise of a metaverse. Tomorrow when you try to go back to that MetaCasino it is nowhere to be found. Its developer has lost interest in it or was forced out by other developers. Like a dream, it is gone, collapsed into the reverie of your memory. The side benefit is with your gambling skills your crypto wallet may be fatter and the evening cost you nothing at all.<br /></p><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Tuna Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02454266137206818053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7227119460795708211.post-64307466216029296152019-09-22T15:25:00.002-07:002019-09-22T15:25:37.042-07:00Pity The Poor Dictator When His Time is UP<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Dictators by
their nature will eventually go too far. They cannot help it. It is fixed in
their personalities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">They usually
come to power through a bloody revolution where part of the military sides with
the government and part sides with the rebel leader-become-dictator. By
whatever means the man ascends to the seat of power, he is destined to fail
unless he can refrain from brutal enforcement of his every command.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Many
dictators are revered by an adoring populace (at the beginning). Those who do
not question his authority and allow themselves to be ruled and forego their
own freedoms in order to allow the dictator to exorcize The Others will do well
under his thumb.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But even the
most benevolent of dictators use their unlimited power to squash dissent when
it ultimately arises. His promises to the people are withdrawn. He cannot
fulfill those promises and must blame someone because it is unthinkable (by himself)
that his perfect plan and implementation were in some way deficient.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Most of the
world's dictators do not last beyond a few years. Those who do become more
despotic by the day. They squash protests, imprison opponents, execute
resisters and journalists. In short, anyone who voices disapproval must go. The
purges start with deportations and exile but soon ramp up to prison and disappearances.
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">In countries
like North Korea and Saudi Arabia they have no compunction about summary
executions. They make no bones about their brutality in order to serve as a
deterrent to others. Several of the South American countries make the
resistance disappear while maintaining a smiling face toward the world. They
deny their brutality for as long as possible, but eventually that facade disintegrates
too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Here in
America, we blindly elected a proto-dictator who immediately set to the task of
consolidating his position as the supreme leader who cannot be touched by the
law, the Congress or the Judiciary. His approach has been to foment chaos to a
level where nobody is capable of focusing on a single issue. Congress cannot
unify to act. The people cannot agree on whether he is or is not a dictator or whether
being one is a good thing or bad. The Judiciary is being stacked to rubber
stamp his authority to do whatever he thinks up to do.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Every vile
act and policy has a hint of good in it. A cursory view of his
"accomplishments" looks good at the surface, but look a bit deeper
and the malicious aspects are exposed. Tax cuts on the wealthy give them money
in their pockets to supposedly improve the economy, but all the cuts really are
are Revenue Reduction Acts designed to hamstring the government and give cause
to reducing the amount of money ordinary American have in their pockets. Cut
revenues and you cannot effectively regulate the pollution corporations create
in the absence of oversight and regulations.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Saving a few
millions on SNAP funding to reduce the reliance of poor people on the
government sounds good until you realize there are no opportunities for them to
make up for the lost funds with any job they can get.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Stopping
abortions sounds like a good and moral act until you see that the women who are
getting the abortions cannot afford the additional mouth to feed (even as the
dictator seeks to remove her SNAP funding for food.) Cutting through the
propaganda about who seeks abortions and why one can see that the abortion is
never entered into frivolously. It is not because the woman is promiscuous or
vain, immoral or careless. It is because she sees the reality of that mouth to
feed, the medical costs, the burden on her keeping a job and the effect on her
existing children.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Stopping the
killing of babies sounds noble but the tissue being aborted is far from being a
baby. While it might have the potential of becoming a child, there is a reason
it is called a fetus or embryo. Yeah, an egg could hatch into a chicken, but it
is still just an egg.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The dictator
cares not for the quality of the lives of the people but in controlling their
actions and behaviors in such a manner as to maintain his dictatorship. Women
with babies they cannot afford are controllable. The dictator finds it far
easier to outlaw the abortion than to eliminate the need for it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Dictators
prescribing the permission for businesses to refuse services or employment to
same-sex couples, transgender persons, persons with disabilities and anyone who
is not like the business owners might please a few proprietors but ignores the
fact that such people still need those services. It is only a quantum step from
gender-discrimination back to racial and religious discrimination. The dictator
thrives on such adversity.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The level of
power and authority of dictators rises. Peaks and declines on a Bell-curve over time. The
dictator will eventually be overthrown, but he can do a lot of generational
damage before he is taken out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">A friend of
mine asked me why I didn't shut up and let the President just do his job, the
job he was chosen for. She treated my response as though it were a rhetorical question
when I said, "do you really like the job he is doing and how he is doing
it?" She would not or could not reply.</span></div>

bully or tyrant keeps up his assault on you you must rebut and rebuff him at

or giving in is surrender. You will pay the price; first for losing and then

surrender. He who tires first loses. In this Presidential Administration there
is no graceful winning as in Tennis. There is no leap over the net to shake

enemies. It is not a game. It is a blood sport. There will be no drinks and a

thousands of cuts. He becomes engrossed in trying to defend each and every

passed adds to the weight of the legal burdens facing him. A continuous stream
of new cases turn up. The sources of evidence each must individually be

<br />
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
When you hear or
chant “America: Love it or Leave it” what do you think it means?
What is love for America? Exactly what is the America which is being
referred to? It’s a simplistic concept and not one without
analogous situations to be considered.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
A child may not love
a parent for the actions and behaviors of that parent but leaving the
household is fraught with dangers which might be as perilous as
staying under the roof of an abusive parent. A woman with toddler
children is not in a position to pick up and leave the abusive
husband, boyfriend or other head of household with the children in
tow. Similarly she would be remiss in leaving those children behind
to face the wrath of the abuser. For her the solution may be to force
the abuser out in the hopes that he would eventually go away.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
Leaving the country
into which you were born is not the solution for people who are not
benefiting from the resources that everyone else get a share of.
Being told to leave it if you don’t like it is the message of the
abuser. They count themselves as the rightful owner of the house, the
country, the community assets which they are magnanimous enough to
share as long as their rules are followed. “This is MY house and as
long as you are under my roof and eat my food, you will obey MY
rules.” How many of you have heard that from your father? He was
declaring My house: Love It or Leave It.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
While he might very
well pay the rent or mortgage and foot the food bill for the
household, he doesn’t own America. Each and every person who took
their first breath inside the national borders is a part owner of all
the resources this land has to offer. Every person granted
citizenship by an act of government is likewise a citizen and
entitled to a share. Problem is there are people who don’t
recognize the rights of others. All that matters to them is what they
want. How convenient it would be if every person who disagreed with
them would go away and not act against them?</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The short sighted
consequence of that exodus would be no one to work for them or buy
what they have to sell.</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br />
</div>
<div style="line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0in;">
The America that the
powerful ones tout is not the fun loving peaceful land of plenty for
everyone. The “liberty and justice for all” part of the pledge to
the flag is denied to many people. For them they love the ideals this
country is supposed to stand for and are willing to fight against the
usurping class to make it the country it claims to be. Leaving is not

<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
As a Republican you may have not liked Barack Obama for a myriad of reasons. He was a Democrat (reason enough to not like him), he was black, he supported social funding that was to be paid for by more wealthy Republican people and corporations.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
<br /></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
For the eight years of his Presidency and this year since, he has been disparaged as being a secret Muslim, not birthed on US soil, and for being the cause of racial tensions in this country.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
<br /></div><br /><div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
While the first three attributes are intrinsic and indisputable, the latter three are conjecture, propaganda and most probably not true. Mostly he declined to dignify the accusations with any specific reply and went about doing his job, the job more Americans vote for than against. Twice. So what we have is accusations by pundits and conspiracy mongers about who President Obama is and what he did for (or to) the country.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
<br /></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
Now we have a new person in the Office of President. What we know about him comes from listening to his own words effusing from his own mouth. We see his posture and demeanor, his praise and condemnation of specific people, and the nature of the people with whom he surrounds himself. We see the staff defections from the White house, we see the firings of his own cabinet level appointments, we see and hear the vitriol he shouts at his nearly bi-weekly campaign rallies. </div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
<br /></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
Whereas, Obama was able to be positively judged by the character of his actions and policies, Trump cannot. In the absence of positive outcomes of any of his actions or policies he must stand before the choir and preach the Gospel of Donald and bask in the adulation of a few thousands of his loyal followers on a regular schedule. He must keep his message in the faces of those people lest they fall from his grace and turn away from his "church."</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
<br /></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
Donald Trump's rhetoric falls quite flat unless he denigrates an opponent and claim the pious position. In short, his gospel needs a devil or many demons to be the cause of everything wrong while he is the savior. Obama, Hillary, HER EMAILS, the biased FBI and DOJ, the Fake News. Without referencing them he has nothing good to say or report. He conveniently omits any negativity associated with him.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
<br /></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
No mention of children being mistreated by ICE personnel. No mention of financial hardships he created with wild and poorly conceived tariffs. No concern for climatic conditions which have actually begun to manifest as wildfires, floods, tides lapping at the stoop of mansions-by-the-sea. The undoing of education, voting rights, consumer financial protections, air quality, water quality, and all around national infrastructure security. In Donald Trump's play book all of these negatives accrue to his greater score. When playing an endgame all outrageous acts are positives.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
<br /></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
The economy is represented by an equation. There is an Equals Sign in the middle. When he says the economy is doing great, it means that corporate earnings and profits are up but on the other side of the EQ is labor costs are down. While a CEO loves such a bottom line, workers can't pay their bills and their lives go down in quality. Eliminating environmental constraints may increase shareholder value, but everyone else must live with the pollution.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
<br /></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
Deporting people who have been in the US sometimes for decades may bolster his credibility for being tough on immigration, but they are people with families and lives built here. Tossing people out without considering the consequences leads to forcing vulnerable people back into the hands of oppressors from which they fled. The lives they fled are on the other side of that EQ Sign.</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
<br /></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
The Latin phrase <span class="_4yxo _4yxp"><i><b>ipso facto</b></i></span> means the facts speak for themselves. The Trump Administration is so far into the swamp that in will never find its way out. It and the people who comprise it will need to be led out by the FBI and the DOJ but then only to face the actions they used to get them entrenched in the first place. Hundreds of indictment charges against dozens of people and businesses have already happened. Convictions and guilty pleas are <span class="_4yxo _4yxp"><i><b>fait accompli</b></i></span> (French phrase definition - a thing accomplished and presumably irreversible.)</div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
<br /></div>
<div class="_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa">
The propagandists can claim prior administrations were similarly criminal but the complete lack of legal actions against them belies that assertion. We have seen the tip of the corruption iceberg. The best is yet to come.</div>

Trump. Hunger. Non-employment. Inequity. A need for structural change in our economy. The neglect of governance for the needs of people.<br />
<br />
I'll start writing on a "new topic" and within a very few sentences, I am back pounding on the same old theme. If it were a new topic and I got fixated on it (and not reverting to the old stuff) I could write on it for quite some time.<br />
<br />
This is not one of them so I am stopping here.Tuna Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02454266137206818053noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7227119460795708211.post-83679049000554841242017-11-18T12:22:00.003-08:002017-11-18T12:22:48.951-08:00Trumpian Deflection Gambit<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Each day,
Donald Trump awakens and begins his all-to-familiar Tweet session. His two
themes are "what I did which is better than any man before me" and
"what other people did that surely will deflect attention from collusion
with Russians against the USA."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Both themes
are in a perpetual state of failure. On the first theme, nobody who doesn't
already support him like a cult leader is convinced to throw their new support
behind him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">On the second
theme, people who support him like a cult leader have decided they don't care
about Russian involvement in US Politics because they have the President they
wanted. They already exhibit a huge example of not caring. They don't care how
many indigenous people had to be killed to keep the oil pipes flowing and their
fuel tanks full. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">People who
#resist Trump and his cadre of fools cannot keep focused on the myriad of
topics Trump puts out into the public square. There are so many items no one
could keep track of them, even Trump himself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">It is good Robert
Mueller doesn't have to follow up on every red herring Trump tossed out. He has
already formed his agenda, knows who are going to be the ones potentially
indicted, and when in the time line that will occur. The Trumpian Deflection
Gambit may work to befuddle ordinary citizens, but a professional investigator
and prosecutor such as Mueller will not become entangled in the hoopla stirred
up by Fox News, et al, and Trump himself. He has the roadmap spread out before
him and his staff and they only need to mark off how far they have come and
which roads are not worthy of following.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Meanwhile
the nation watches as Donald Trump sinks into his twilight world of contempt
for everything good Congress the former Executive and the Judiciary ever did. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

In a recent meme shared by an extreme conservative FB
friend, people were saying what ought to be done to a Muslim refugee who
molested a child. The comments became quite graphic with the least being
immediate deportation. Everyone neglected the fact that the vast majority of
all molested children were assaulted by a friend of the family or an older
relative. They were extremely self-righteous in their indignation. Now today we
have men who many years ago engaged in what is known as the Undiscovered Lie.
They lived the good life in the absence of public knowledge of what they did to
someone's underage child. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now today they are faced with the accusations and shame for
what they did. Some men own up to the truth while others try to deflect and
deny. Each of them has a singular guilt or innocence for which they will have
to stand judgement. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The problem is when the man is a politician, there are
political supporters who will vote for his candidacy knowing the preponderance
of evidence which supports the allegations against him. They become enraged at
anyone who points at the allegations and suggests he is not suitable to make
decisions on behalf of a decent society. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The lengths the supporters will go is exemplified by this
chain of events. Sean Hannity speaks in favor of alleged molester Roy Moore.
Coffee machine maker Keurig pulls its advertising dollars from Hannity's Fox
show. Keurig machine owners video themselves smashing their coffee makers in
protest. Through the line of succession, these people are showing their
approval of the act of sexual activity between a 32 year old man and a 14 year
old girl. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
They don't care what he has done. One delusional Evangelical
Pastor even tried to point to the Bible to say what he did was alright.
Apparently Conservative Politics trumps child abuse and sexual assault. What
ever became of family values?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Roy Moore is running for the Senate. No surprises, as a
Republican. With his name remaining on the ballot he will garner tens of
thousands of votes even in light of his immoral activities. Some people will
only recall seeing his name in the news but not why. Others will know exactly
that he is accused of and vote for him any way. Millions of voters favored
Donald Trump in this manner a year ago in November 2016. They knew his
reputation and decided he exemplified their morality.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Gun sales
are a fear-based enterprise. More so, the fear is irrational. People buy guns
at a relatively steady rate based on the presumption of safety against crime
and criminals. The statistical reality though is 3% of gun owners own 50% of
the guns in circulation. This means the primary motivation for gun ownership is
not protection but gun ownership itself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The sad
reality is half of the gun deaths each year are self-inflicted, suicide or
otherwise. From those numbers one can deduce the instability of the persons who
purchase even one gun. The second most common gun death is at the hands of a
friend or relative, spouse or significant other. These are euphemistically
labeled "crimes of passion". The least likely cause of gun death is
being killed by a criminal stranger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Strict Second
Amendment supporters are wont to cite personal safety from crime and defense
against a tyrannical government as their reason for stockpiling weapons. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">There are
three distinct categories of firearms; Handguns, rifles and semiautomatic assault
weapons. While handguns are by far the weapon of choice by most owners, they
also are the weapon of choice in suicides and domestic violence. Rifles are a
natural for hunting and sport shooting. Semiautomatic assault weapons are the
go to choice of the fearful citizen who is told the government is trying to
enslave him. They are also the weapon of choice of the unstable American white
male who feels aggrieved in some way, many times involving women.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Every time
the fear mongers ramp up their rhetoric over the checking of backgrounds of
prospective assault weapons weapon sales increase dramatically. Even
accessories that are suggested for limitation or outright ban see a spike in
sales. Exemplary of this assertion is the sales of "bump stocks" for
the AR-15 which makes the semiautomatic firing rate into a fully automatic
mode. After the Las Vegas mass shooting which left 59 dead and 520+ injured (he
used bump stocks to maximize firing rate) bump stock sales to ordinary citizens
who already owned AR-15s, jumped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">His firing
rate was so high that the conspiracy propagandists such as Alex jones could not
believe one man could have accomplished the level of carnage. Alex insists the
death total is fake, there were more than just the one shooter and the
government is behind the events to justify taking away assault weapons from
honest law abiding citizens.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The shooter
in Sutherland Springs, Texas was able to walk the aisles and fire 450 rounds
before leaving 26 dead and being wounded by a man outside who had a rifle. The
shooter was able to kill his grandmother-in-law. I knew there was a woman in his
troubled life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The bigger
issue than who may purchase an AR-15 is the number of AR-15s hanging on the
wall in gun shops which call out to troubled men like the legendary sirens of
the sea. Buy me. Take me home. Stroke me. Give me love. The level of pleasure cannot
be neglected. There is a level of orgasmic response at the rapid fire and kick
which cannot be denied.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Then there
is all the accoutrement. Tactical helmet and face shield, Kevlar vest, black
pants and high laced boots. And most of all carrying the 15 to 45 magazines
each lovingly loaded by hand. His was not a cosplay outfit to look cool at Comicon.
It also was not merely a one-day outing to complete the outfit and firepower.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">All of this
lethal weaponry can be had for cash or plastic. While it is a very difficult
task to monitor each and every purchase transaction, it is the availability of
the product which drives the sales. Arms manufacturers should be discouraged or
outright banned from making the weapons for public sale in the first place. Importation
should be stopped too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">It would be
far easier to regulate and control the manufacture of the weapons as opposed to
their sale. Similarly stopping the sales is far easier than stopping the
purchase. We are talking several millions of buyers, several thousands of
sellers and less than a dozen manufacturers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">There is no
reason for the ownership of an AR-15 than to get a thrill of firing it and/or
of mass killing with it. American society is so highly polarized and
radicalized that some rational solution needs to be implemented before all the
apparently random shooting event become aligned with each other and parts of
our society topple like dominoes lined up for the Principle of Imminent
Collapse to all knock down with the simple Nudge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Ipso Facto. (the
facts speak for themselves.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Russian
election interference. Trump-Russia collusion. Just a friendly "hail fellow
well met." Treason at the highest level. Foreign state involvement in US
democratic processes. Depending on
whether you are in jeopardy of Federal prison time or not, your opinion about
what the evidence shows will be different.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">There are
dozens of men and women in the Trump Administration who made the transition
from the Campaign who were intricately involved in the dialog with foreign agents
to position Donald Trump as the President of the USA. It doesn't matter who
approached whom. It does not matter whether the dialog was face-to-face, by
email or go-between. It doesn't matter whether the outcome was substantive,
abortive or incidental. The fact of the communiqué without disclosure,
intentionally hidden or inappropriately omitted from the public record shows
that there is influence between the foreign state of Russia, its leaders and
oligarchs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Donald Trump
ACTS like an instrument of the Russian government, which essentially is
Vladimir Putin himself. He can say nothing disreputable about the man. He fawns
over the ability of the man to command his government, its bureaucrats and
military.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">By Donald
Trump, Jr.'s own public statements a sizable portion of the Trump brand wealth
is inextricably tied to Russian "investors' who lent the money that funds at
least in part every Trump® endeavor. It will require the services of dozens of Forensic
Accounts for months on end to isolate Trump wealth from Russian money.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">When a
businessman receives a loan for $50m on property valued at $25m and purchased
for $8m, someone is the benefactor and someone is the beneficiary of a huge favor.
Favors always come in two parts. The Favor and the <i>Quid Pro Quo</i>. An "investor" who has essentially no
financial limit, lends his money to someone who has nowhere else to go, the
payback is not the principle but the <i>quid
pro quo</i>. In this case, the Russian investor expects US policy and economic
access to be made conducive to their goals and objectives. They expect Donald
Trump to direct US policy in directions favorable to them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Whether or
not Russian activities tipped the @016 Presidential election or and of the
dozens of House and Senate seats in the US Congress or any of the State
Legislatures... ipso facto!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Facebook
acknowledges there were an "unknown" number of political ads
associated with Russian accounts. Now who they were, what was said and how big
the effort was is being walked back by the social media platform. Millions of
Twitter accounts spontaneously mobilize with every anti-trump Tweet with
Pro-Trump/Anti-Clinton posting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Whether the
activities of Russian or any other inappropriate apparatus tipped the election
to Trump, there certainly was a strong attempt to do so. The ability of a few
well connected individually to alter electronic voting results is well
established. Then you have that exactly 4 of the "swing state" voter
counts went uncharacteristically to Trump in the late hours of the election
returns. Those same 4 states called Trump as winner by less than 1% and below
the automatic recount threshold. Where paper tabulation was in place there were
no such anomalies. Some states where there were Red dominated legislatures, the
number of denied voters in minority Democrat precincts was higher than the
number of votes Trump won by in that state.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">One confirms
the intent of others not by what they say but be what they do. Trump claims the
media make up false stories about him even when there is video or audio
transcripts to prove who is lying. Similarly, the media doesn't have to
fabricate a story or create a spin when the man's personal appearances in front
of his own audience show who the man really is. <i>Ipso facto</i>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">From his own
fingertips we receive his daily dump of what is in his head. From the actual
news coverage we see how he acts and that he thinks about the people of this
nation. When he is acting the role of the insensitive jerk, we have that on
tape. It is no wonder he is loath to record official telephone calls or require
transcripts of meetings. The facts of the communication are far easier to
deflect about and deny when we must rely on his staff's memory and attitudes
about what they heard. Meanwhile watching him in action, watching is vacation
and golf schedule, reading his own unvarnished words provides everyone with the
undeniable truth. <i>Ipso facto.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
