Escape from Alcatraz

History 3 Minutes

I found an interesting post on the History website about Alcatraz.

Was the Escape from Alcatraz Successful?

It was one of the most ingenious prison breaks of all time—if it worked. In 1962, inmates and bank robbers Frank Morris and John and Clarence Anglin vanished from Alcatraz, the federal island penitentiary off the coast of San Francisco. They had used sharpened spoons to bore through the prison walls, left papier-maché dummies in their beds and floated away on a raft made from 50 raincoats.

But what happened next has stumped historians for decades. Their bodies were never recovered, leaving many wondering whether they perished in the choppy San Francisco Bay or made it to shore—and freedom.

In the years since nearly six decades of silence from the men led many to conclude that the escape had met a watery end. The FBI closed its case in 1979, concluding that the escapees were unlikely to have survived a treacherous swim of more than a mile of frigid waters to the mainland. But in January of 2018, CBS San Francisco published an extract of a letter addressed to the FBI that told an altogether different story—and claimed that the criminals had been at large since the 1960s. “My name is John Anglin,” it read. “I escape[d] from Alcatraz in June 1962 with my brother Clarence and Frank Morris. I’m 83 years old and in bad shape. I have cancer. Yes, we all made it that night but barely!”

The letter was sent to the San Francisco Police Department’s Richmond station in 2013, the broadcaster reported but had been kept under wraps during a long investigation. An FBI laboratory examined the letter for fingerprints and DNA and analyzed the handwriting within, but the results were inconclusive. “So that means yes, and it means no, so this leaves everything in limbo,” security analyst Jeff Harp told CBS.

In the letter, the writer explained that he was the last living member of the trio, with his co-conspirators dying in 2005 and 2008. He offered a deal: If authorities announced on television that he would receive a single one-year jail sentence, in which he could have the medical treatment he needed, “I will write back to let you know exactly where I am. This is no joke…” The FBI did no such thing and instead repressed the letter.

A photograph showing the cell where one of the three prisoners escaped from Alcatraz on June 12, 1962. A dummy head was used to throw off guards, and sheets were used to conceal his exit below the sink.

Though this is the first time anyone purporting to be one of the men has contacted authorities, it isn’t the first piece of evidence that suggests they might have made it out in one piece. Robert Checchi, an officer with the San Francisco police, reported seeing what he described as a “pristine white boat” out in the Bay on the night of the men’s disappearance. It had no lights on, but appeared to have someone on board shining a flashlight into the water. Police followed up on the sighting, but couldn’t find the owner of this strange boat—or where it went next.

More recently, a 2015 HISTORY special showed an alleged photograph of the brothers, taken in Brazil some 13 years after their disappearance. Family members of the men have also reported strange experiences that suggest there may be more to the story than many believe. “It’s always been talked about through the family,” David Widner, a nephew of John and Clarence Anglin, told CBS. “My grandmother received roses for several years after the escape.” If Anglin is still alive today, he would be nearly 90. He has not been heard from since.

Widner expressed dismay that authorities had not contacted the family about his relative’s alleged illness. “For him to say he had cancer and was dying, I feel like they should have at least reached out to the family and let them know [the letter] existed,” he said. But federal authorities have been quick to quash any rumors of a successful great escape. In an interview with CBS San Francisco, the U.S. Marshals investigating the case told the broadcaster they considered the lead closed with no merit and a simple hoax from someone hoping to scam and embarrass federal and local authorities. “The Federal Bureau of Prisons say that they drowned once they got off of Alcatraz and their bodies were swept out to the Pacific Ocean—end of story,” National Park Service Ranger John Cantwell said. The prison was closed permanently in 1963, a year after the men vanished. Today, it plays host to more than a million tourists each year, often drawn to the site by the story of the Anglin brothers, which was adapted for the screen in the 1979 film Escape From Alcatraz. John Anglin’s cell, where the men made their exit, is a popular attraction. It’s preserved almost perfectly, with the same gaping hole in its teal-painted wall—but even the scene of the crime offers few answers as to where these great escapees wound up.By: Natasha FrostUpdated: September 1, 2018 | Original: July 16, 2018

  6. “Why are all those racehorses dropping dead at Churchill Downs? Because, since April 29, they’ve all been wearing powerful WIRELESS monitors (called “STRIDESafe”)

    The horses may be “vaccinated,” too—we’re looking into it—but these new high-tech gadgets (the sort of thing that thrills Bill Gates) are likely the main cause of death, as Arthur Firstenberg explains”

    (Horse named Lost in Limbo dies at Churchill Downs)

    “RACEHORSES AT CHURCHILL DOWNS
    by Arthur Firstenberg

    EXCERPT: “Racehorses are among the most finely tuned, exquisitely sensitive creatures on earth. So what happens when you give them all cell phones to wear during a race? They start dropping like… well, horses.

    That is exactly what started happening this spring at Churchill Downs in Louisville, home of the world-famous Kentucky Derby. Churchill Downs hosts three “meets” every year during which there are horse races four to five days a week — a spring meet lasting all of May and June; a September meet; and a fall meet throughout November. The spring meet this year at the Downs began on April 29 and was to continue until July 3. And beginning on April 29, and in every race on every day thereafter, every horse was fitted with a device they had never worn before. It is a wireless device, shaped like an iPhone, that fits into the cloth underneath the saddle on the horse’s back. Horses also began wearing these devices this spring during morning workouts.

    This STRIDESafe device monitors the horse’s movements 2,400 times per second throughout the race, sending 2,400 pulses of radio frequency (RF) radiation every second through the body of the horse. It also contains a GPS component that communicates with global positioning satellites. It also communicates with the RFID chip implanted in the left side of every horse’s neck, ensuring that the chip also emits radiation throughout the race.

    And because every racehorse wears horseshoes made of aluminum, which is one of the best conductors, the frequencies that are conducted from both the STRIDESafe device and the RFID chip throughout the horse’s body are absorbed and reradiated by its four shoes. Each horse, then, carries not one but six continuously radiating antennas throughout each race at Churchill Downs. So with 14 horses normally competing in each race, there are 84 antennas among animals in close proximity to one another running around the track.

    And on April 29, 2023, horses racing at Churchill Downs began to die during races or suffer such severe injuries during races that they were euthanized. So many horses have died this spring that on June 2 it was announced that the spring meet at the Downs would be suspended as of June 10. Officials at Churchill Downs are panicked because horses racing there have died in much larger numbers this spring than ever before. In 2022, nationwide, about 1.25 deaths occurred for every 1,000 horses starting at the gate. But since April 29, 2023, 12 deaths have occurred among just 1,600 starts at Churchill Downs, a sudden and unprecedented 8-fold increase in racehorse mortality.”

    1. “We have known for decades that horses’ lives are shattered by radio waves. Hearings were held in Christchurch, New Zealand, and racehorse trainer Penny Hargreaves spoke out in an interview published in 1998. An FM radio tower in Ouruhia had had such devastating effects on her 90 horses that she was forced to relocate them to a different part of Canterbury. All her horses were affected, some more than others, and two died.

      “They were very nervous and jumpy,” she said. “They all seemed to have sore feet. Horses who had travelled by trailer for years were losing balance while travelling. We have several hot spots around our yard where the horses become very volatile and hurt themselves and us.

      Our very valuable colt had serious health problems and walked as if his feet hurt. He could not bear to be shod. We had many vets look at him to try and solve his problems, but without any satisfactory answers. We finally turned him out in a paddock which has a large hay barn and trees between him and the tower. Within a month he had no problems at all. Back in his old yard, the problem returned.

      The blacksmith gave evidence at our hearing on the effect of the radio waves on our horses’ feet. The aluminum conducts electricity and their feet had changed shape, had huge cracks where the nails went and were very sensitive inside. We had weekly problems with infections we have never had before, our vet bills were horrendous.”

      Nervous and jumpy racehorses with sore feet and lack of coordination. Exactly what has been happening at Churchill Downs during the spring meet this year.

      When I learned what was happening at Churchill Downs this spring I sent an email to Dr. Jennifer Durenberger, suggesting to her that the STRIDESafe devices, which have been deployed at Churchill Downs for the safety of the horses, are instead killing them. She has not responded. Dr. Durenberger, a veterinarian, is the Director of Equine Safety & Welfare at the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA). She has been leading a review of the records of the horses that died.

      If you are a veterinarian or have experience with horses and would like to help, please send me an email to arthur@cellphonetaskforce.org. This is an opportunity, if we can get Churchill Downs, HISA, and the owners of the racehorses that run in the Kentucky Derby to acknowledge what is happening and get rid of these new wireless devices — an opportunity to educate the rest of the world as well and catalyze a change of direction for us all.”

The raw talent and physique can be found in many horses but it is the MIND and ATTITUDE that drives them to become that kind of a champion, as well as the relationships they form with humans. Ruffian had that attitude and shared the same bloodlines. Seabiscuit and Phar Lap had that attitude – the REALLY great ones all do! The difference for me? Those two went thru hell and back and STILL had that attitude, whereas Secretariat was babied all his life. IDK, maybe some would say I’m a purist when it comes to horses….?

      , yes, it’s been clear from the outset that the government has been playing games with the verbiage “marked classified” or “classification markings,” which is not necessarily the same thing as referring to an unclassified document. Since a document can be unclassified and the markings not necessarily removed.

      In particular, they were trying to play a game of gotcha if Trump’s lawyers were thinking that term was synonymous with “unclassified documents” and had that in mind when they filed certifications that they have found all of the “classified documents.”

      ‘Aha, but we didn’t ask for all of the classified documents, we asked for all of the documents with “classification markings.”‘

      In 2023, this is the level of hyper-technical treatment shown to a former President the career bureaucracy at DOJ hates.

      It’s like playing a high stakes game of Simon Says. “Oops, I gave you a command without saying Simon Says first. You lose.”

    1. We knew that last year…from December:

      EXCERPT: “Even former Trump administration Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was involved in burying the story on Joe Biden, Russia, Ukraine, and Hunter Biden’s laptop — which altered elections and skirted free speech and the law — former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani told Newsmax.

      “I had this whole thing – let’s say half of it; certainly enough to prosecute — in 2019,” Giuliani told “Saturday Report,” saying he was waking up every morning thinking about how to reveal it all to Americans, including sharing the information with TV host Sean Hannity, Just the News’ John Solomon, and even Pompeo. “I gave it to Hannity in early 2019, then to John Solomon, then to Mike Pompeo, who also buried it.

      “And you should know that now that he’s running for president — and I will tell you the whole story about that at some point. I’ll write it out.”

      Giuliani was former President Donald Trump’s private attorney and was shocked to have learned Justice Department Attorney General Bill Barr had Hunter Biden’s laptop in late 2019.

      “And then Barr buried it in January of 2020, and I didn’t know that Barr has the hard drive,” Giuliani continued to host Rita Cosby. “He covered up the hard drive.”

  26. ‘Bombshell’ Report: DOJ Offered Witness with ‘Smoking Gun’ Evidence of Biden Bribery Ring, But She Died Under ‘Mysterious Circumstances’
    by Kyle BeckerJune 10, 2023

    EXCERPT: “Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who previously served as an attorney for former President Donald Trump, claimed that he offered to give a U.S. attorney information about a whistleblower with access to smoking gun evidence of a Biden international bribery scheme, but he was ignored and she later died under mysterious circumstances.

    The former Trump attorney gave his statements about the now-deceased chief accountant at Burisma, the Ukrainian oil and gas company that gave Hunter Biden hundreds of thousands of dollars to sit a board seat, while on Newsmax.

    During an interview on “Saturday Report” with Rita Cosby, Giuliani referred to special counsel Jack Smith, who conducted an investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents, leading to the former president’s federal indictment. Giuliani stated that Smith had emphasized the existence of a single system of laws in the United States that applies equally to everyone.

    Giuliani further revealed that the Pittsburgh attorney general had initially been investigating the case. However, the investigation was later transferred to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware, under former Attorney General William Barr. Giuliani criticized the lack of action taken by the Delaware office, claiming that the individual involved was under threat of death.

    “Well, of course, that’s the most ridiculous, idiotic statement to make on a day in which we find out that the Bidens took a $10 million bribe fom a Ukrainian Mykola Zlochevsky, which I could have told you, you know, and did tell [the DOJ] three years ago. And they followed up on none of the evidence I gave them. They were hoping that people would disappear or die. It’s extraordinary.”

    Giuliani said he gave the DOJ “one witness … who is a woman, who is the chief accountant at this crooked company, Burisma. She was the wife of the former owner, who died under suspicious circumstances. And she was willing to give up all of the offshore bank accounts, including the Bidens. And she’s supervised the transfer of a lot more cash to the Bidens and other crooked politicians for Burisma.”

    Giuliani told Cosby that the now-deceased chief accountant at Burisma was willing to give up the offshore bank accounts information at the Ukrainian petrogas company.

    “It’s extraordinary,” he said. “I gave them one witness that any investigator would jump through hoops to go to. Gave them a witness who is a woman who was the chief accountant at this crooked company, Burisma. She was the wife of the former owner who died under suspicious circumstances. And, she was willing to give up all of the offshore bank accounts, including the Bidens’ accounts. She supervised the transfer of a lot more cash to the Bidens and other crooked politicians for Burisma.”

You would think since they drink the nectar, they would love the grape water! Nope! Go figure! And the seed feeders needed refilling, of course. While I was out there, I checked on my cantaloupe seedlings – the cage is working! So, later today, I will uncover the other 2 and put that cage up. I am digging down and putting it under the surface on the entire circumference, then piling shavings up inside and out. I’ve also got to finish the weeding in that bed. About half is done so far.

So I planted a bunch in one of them the day before yesterday. Yesterday when I checked on them, something had been digging around, whether bird or squirrel? 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ So I leveled out the dirt, tried to cover as many of the green-colored seeds as I could, then put the lid on the barrel. It has a large hole in the center but whatever it was, it apparently worked because the dirt hadn’t been disturbed yesterday morning, nor still today.

  28. dems trying to push amnesty again…this time they’re saying the illegals WORKED during the pandemic doing “essential” jobs –jeopardizing their own health (clutching my pearls here) and should be rewarded. then they list some of those jobs–laundry workers, landscapers–grub hub delivery drivers…
    entire article–cause we all need to laugh at this veiled attempt by assholes…

    Rewarding illegal immigration by granting mass amnesty has traditionally been a tough sell with the American public. So, the marketing strategy for amnesty advocates is to sell the American people on the idea that millions of illegal aliens are actually doing us a favor by being here, and that granting them legal permanent residence is the least we can do to thank them.

    New legislation in Congress aims to fulfill our “debt” to illegal aliens who are defined as essential to our economy. “Every day, over five million essential workers without permanent legal status kept Americans healthy, fed, and safe during the COVID pandemic—all while risking their own health and the health of their families,” declared Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), who is sponsoring the Citizenship for Essential Workers Act.

    Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), another sponsor of the bill, was even more explicit in defining the amnesty measure as the fulfillment of an obligation. “The Citizenship for Essential Workers Act recognizes all that essential workers have given and will create a fair and accessible pathway to citizenship,” she said.

    Given the rhetoric employed by the bill’s sponsors and advocates, one might get the impression that the people who stand to benefit from this “pathway to citizenship” are rare heroes who rendered extraordinary services at a time of great national need. Not quite. According to the bill’s authors, some 5.2 million illegal aliens performed “essential” work during COVID and must be duly rewarded—along with untold numbers of their family members. In fact, according to Sen. Warren’s fact sheet (in bold type), these 5.2 million illegal workers account for “almost 3 out of 4 undocumented workers in the United States.”

    The House version of the Citizenship for Essential Workers Act, H.R. 3043, lists 21 different categories (not including numerous subcategories) of essential workers who should be rewarded with green cards and eventual citizenship. We’re not just talking about an ER doctor who might have saved the lives of COVID victims in respiratory failure. Under this bill, essential workers, to name just a few, include the Grubhub guy who delivered take-out meals; commercial and residential landscapers; house cleaners; warehouse workers; janitors; and “laundromat and dry-cleaning operators.” (Where would we have been without the illegal workers who fluffed and folded through the COVID crisis?) It’s even harder to imagine what “nonessential” services the 25 percent of illegal workers not covered under this amnesty were performing.

    Even more indicative of the fact that the legislation is just a transparently repackaged amnesty for just about everyone who is here illegally is that even people who did not perform “essential” work, or did so for just a very brief period while the public health emergency was in effect, are eligible to benefit. Illegal alien workers who lost their jobs in the designated sectors of the labor market due to COVID (much like a lot of American workers did) would still qualify for amnesty under the bill. So too would illegal aliens who quit their jobs in these industries during the pandemic because they feared for their own health and safety.

    Every job in America is essential to someone – to the workers who get paid to do them, the business owners who employ them, and the customers and clients who avail themselves of the products and services provided. And while illegal aliens performed jobs in the 21 categories defined as “essential,” so too did countless millions of Americans with no expectation that doing so entitled them to anything more than the agreed upon compensation for their labor.

    Illegal immigration is not an act of altruism and does not need to be rewarded as such. Every person who violates our immigration laws does so because it serves a personal interest, not out of a burning desire to provide a service – essential or otherwise – to the American people. The American public has consistently opposed mass illegal alien amnesties because they reject the idea of rewarding lawbreaking in principle. Labeling three-quarters of the people working in this country illegally as “essential” and selling amnesty as a debt that we owe to them is unlikely to change any minds and would only encourage more illegal immigrants to come.

  29. the paragraph about the PROBLEMS with obummer’s records deserve a deeper look imo
    FTA
    Here are some examples: The indictment shows many boxes stacked in a bathroom and ballroom at Mar-a-Lago, but most of those seem to be simply memorabilia that Trump saved, like presidents before him. In fact, the government claims that of the 13,000 documents they seized at Trump’s residence, only 102 had “classified markings” and only 31 are in issue, of which only 21 are claimed to be related to “national defense.” The President retains his secret clearance after leaving office. Why show all those boxes stored unsecured? Certainly, to create a certain impression of massive amounts of secret materials. The indictment indicates just six top-secret and 18 secret documents were in his office. The other 11 top-secret and 36 secret documents were in a storage facility onsite, which had a lock and key that was specified by the government in a security audit weeks before the raid in the midst of a discussion over which documents were to be kept by Trump, a fact omitted from the indictment. Moreover, the entire facility was guarded round the clock by the Secret Service. Compare and contrast with Biden’s careless treatment of 1850 boxes of government documents scattered about unsecured in the University of Delaware, University of Pennsylvania, Chinatown D.C., and a garage.

    “In the middle of directing the difficult task of transferring the historically important records of the Obama administration into the National Archives, the archivist in charge, David Ferriero, ran into a serious problem: A lot of key records are missing.” “And yet the accumulation of recent congressional testimony has made it clear that the Obama administration itself engaged in the wholesale destruction and “loss” of tens of thousands of government records covered under the act as well as the intentional evasion of the government records recording system by engaging in private email exchanges.” – “Crisis at the National Archives”

  30. “India Rejects US Offer To Join NATO–India has rejected the US offer to join NATO, stating that it believes it is capable of countering any Chinese aggression on its own.”
    June 10, 2023

    ENTIRE ARTICLE @ GreatGameIndia: “India’s External Affairs Minister, S Jaishankar, on Friday clarified that India has no intention of joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), led by Western countries. Jaishankar stated that the military alliance is not suitable for India. NATO is an intergovernmental military alliance comprising 31 member states, primarily from Europe and North America, aimed at ensuring the freedom and security of its members through political and military cooperation.

    India’s stance comes in response to recent recommendations from a powerful Congressional Committee in the United States to strengthen NATO Plus by including India. NATO Plus is a security arrangement that brings together NATO and five aligned nations (Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Israel, and South Korea) to enhance global defence cooperation. The proposal aimed to enable seamless intelligence sharing among these countries, allowing India to access advanced military technology without significant delays.

    However, India rejected the suggestion, with Jaishankar stating that the “NATO template does not apply to India”. It is important to note that the proposal came ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the United States.

    Why US invited India to join NATO? The United States believes that India should join NATO to safeguard its borders from China and enhance global security to counter Chinese aggression in the Indo-Pacific region.”

    “Arson Driven Wildfires Being Used As Catalyst For Canadian FEMA — Problem Reaction Solution
    GREG REESE
    JUN 10, 2023

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “During the most catastrophic forest fires in all of Canadian history, experienced local firefighters are being side-lined. Retired forestry technician Peter MacIsaac, put together an experienced team of firefighters with over two hundred years of experience. He contacted the government and offered to volunteer their support. But they were denied. While the government lets Canada burn, they blame Climate Change. But other than all the fires, nothing significant has changed. And the massive amount of wildfires just started a few years ago. So what happened?

    Over ninety percent of wildfires are caused by humans and many of them are intentional, which is known as Arson. During the surge of wildfires along the West Coast of the United States a few years ago, several people were arrested for arson. Including a forty-one-year-old man who admitted to starting eleven wildfires. Security cameras show people’s houses being set on fire. A homeowner caught an arsonist dressed in all black. And a member of Antifa was arrested for arson in Washington state.

    Just months before the 2020 wildfires, Extinction Rebellion published a poster with a burning forest and the words, Declare A Climate Emergency. And in Canada, in 2021, a woman was charged with thirty-two counts of arson connected to numerous wildfires in North East Alberta. Last year in British Columbia, a 42-year-old woman was arrested and charged with four counts of arson.

    And this year there is much more. In Alberta, the RCMP are searching for a suspect after a fire broke out in Grande Prairie. The suspected arsonist was reportedly wearing all black. The RCMP’s serious crimes branch, the forestry crimes unit, have been investigating multiple wildfires and arson, and a 29-year-old man has been charged with ten counts of arson. In Nova Scotia, the RCMP believe at least 3 of the fires in Pictou County were arson.

    Satellite imagery shows most of South East Quebec going up in flames at the same time. Which demonstrates a highly coordinated arson attack.

    Somewhere between Wyoming and California, 30 tons of ammonium nitrate reportedly disappeared from a train. Ammonium nitrate can be used as an explosive. And it can also be used as an accelerant. On its own, ammonium nitrate will not burn under a flame. But mix it with sawdust and it quickly ignites and burns everything it can.

    And now the Federal government of Canada is creating a special national disaster response agency. Their very own FEMA. They create the Problem and our Reaction demands that they provide a Solution.”

  35. Interesting – DTV guy is prompt this morning! Got a call from him about a half-hour ago that he was on his way from Sioux City…should be arriving any minute. I said thanks for the heads up so I can dust – there is a shitload of dust back there! He laughed and said he’d be here soon.

      1. Issues with my on/off reception…they did a big update a few weeks ago and ever since, it’s in and out, particularly on ID, which is odd…why is it so bad on only one station now? And I need a new remote – this is 10 years old and I have to push some of the buttons 2 or 3 times before it will work, even with new batteries. I also discontinued the extra outlet in the BD since no-one is ever in there to watch it. When Piper was coming all the time, it was worth the additional $10/mo – why keep it now?

        The other issues I know he can’t help with but he’s going to earn his $$ and at least listen to me. Moving Dr. Quinn, Little House, The Waltons to pay stations….

        OK – he’s here! Wow! He actually lives in Denver but is down here working for a month because they can’t find people to hire. Super nice guy and BIGLY Trump fan!!! He’s moving the dish to where the previous guy should have put it in the first place. Tree branches.

          1. Yep, that was the issue. What a super nice guy!!! He gave me his e-mail since I offered to keep him informed, especially after our little discussion about ConRon. He said that he wouldn’t mind voting for him until I filled him in on how corrupt he is and told him about Gitmo and Christina Pushaw’s history, about the AI pics they put out as real, etc. As for the issue of pushing people to go to streaming – I explained my reasoning for not going that route and he agreed 100%. After AT&T bought them out a couple of years ago, their CEO was telling them everything was going to streaming and they wouldn’t have jobs in a few years. The techies knew better and said so at the time.

            Not long ago, an independent company (don’t know the name) bought out 1/3 of the company, and they re-instituted the DTV logos on shirts, trucks, equipment, etc. and reinstated some of the old policies. He was somewhere working in a multi-million $$$ apartment complex, filled with rich people, ALL having issues because of buffering problems when streaming. I asked him if they were going to bring back OAN but he didn’t know, while agreeing they should be brought back. But they have 3-5 years before they can get out of the contract with the AT&T phone help system.

            He not only left me a new old-style remote, like the one I’ve been using for 10 years, as well as one of their newer, smaller remote models. And I’ll be getting another one via FedEx from the phone center – they called me on Friday to try to see if they could get out of sending someone – I know that’s what they were doing. But I insisted that he had to come out because I had other issues he needed to address. I had one cord that was loose and it would lose reception until I jiggled it. He looked at it, pulled it out and plugged it in again, and said he didn’t think it was connected all the way but left me an extra cord just in case.

            And he gave me his e-mail address – I made him promise to let me know if I send too much. He just laughed it off – he’ll find out! LOL

              1. He’s changing minds too, I expect, while he makes his rounds. I just sent off an e-mail to him with a few links to articles and pointed him to SD, with the CTH link, for info on ConRon.

    It is time to shine the spotlight on this. It is not a fringe discussion. It is transhumanist early efforts, as they brought the technology into place:

      The CIA subjected Ted Kaczynski to psychological torture when he was a minor. We excoriated the Nazis for gruesome experiments on those who could not or would not give informed consent, all the while the CIA and the DOD imported those same monsters to come to the US to continue to play Dr. Frankenstein on our own people under the aegis of Operation Paperclip.

      Others who were subjects of CIA mind control actions, or immediately adjacent include Whitey Bulger (as a prisoner), Charles Manson, and Jack Ruby/Rubenstein.

      The Church Committee stopped nothing.

      If you think Dulles and Gottlieb (Sidney, not the later generation Scott), actually destroyed all the papers and reports, I have a bridge to sell you.

  37. AP already arguing to Cannon’s removal
    FTA

    Under federal law, if prosecutors reasonably believe Cannon cannot be fair, they could file an affidavit asking that Cannon recuse herself from the case, arguing that she has a personal bias or prejudice. If she finds the affidavit is “sufficient,” she must step down. She also must step down if it could be argued that her “impartiality might reasonably be questioned” by the parties or the public.

    Given the reversal of Cannon’s ruling last year, “there already appears to be a fair ground for disqualification because the public might reasonably question her impartiality, even absent an evidentiary basis for alleging or finding personal bias or prejudice,” said University of Miami law professor Anthony Alfieri, the founding director of its Center for Ethics and Public Service.

  44. anna aluna wants to fine schiff $16 MILLION for his part in russia collusion. (half the cost of the russia investigation
    FTA
    Former House Intelligence Committee chairman and current U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Adam Schiff was blasted by Republicans after he complained on Friday about potentially being fined $16 million for falsely claiming for years to have evidence that then-President Donald Trump “colluded” with Russia to win the 2016 election.

    Last week, Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna discussed the House Oversight Committee’s ongoing efforts to hold former Schiff accountable during an interview with Fox News.

    “I will speak to Adam Schiff. Maria, I have a privileged resolution that I’m bringing to the floor, and we are going to fine that man 16 million dollars for using his position to lie to the American people and ultimately push something that not only destroyed our country but ripped us apart and I believe, maybe even permanently damaging foreign relations. He is a criminal, and Adam Schiff, you will be held accountable,” Paulina Luna said.

    “And yet, he was privileged to information that not even I or many of my colleagues would be able to see,” Paulina Luna went on to say. “He used that position. He absolutely aided and abetted a corrupt FBI into investigating a sitting president.”

    That led Schiff to respond on Twitter: “Last week a GOP Representative filed a motion to expel me from the U.S. House of Representatives. Just now that same representative filed a motion to censure and fine me—to the tune of $16 million. They aren’t getting the message: It will not work. I will not back down.”

    His response, in turn, drew one from Luna, who roasted him for it.

    “Back down from what Adam? Name one Republican that won’t vote to censure you? America and I are wondering,” she wrote, adding: “It’s not up to you.”

    Luna introduced her resolution in May to fine Schiff for making claims that she says triggered several pointless and unnecessary — and costly — investigations.

    “I just filed a privileged resolution, H. Res. 437, to censure, condemn, and fine Rep. Adam Schiff $16 million (1/2 the cost of Russia investigation) for his egregious abuse of trust. I, with my GOP colleagues, look forward to an imminent vote to hold this feckless man accountable,” she wrote on Twitter.

  47. “Succession: Soros nepo baby takes over his father’s globalist empire–We are rooting for failure.”
    JORDAN SCHACHTEL
    JUN 11, 2023

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “The Wall Street Journal has just published a report that George Soros has handed over his vast globalist empire to his son, the 37 year old Alexander Soros. In an interview with the younger Soros that reads like a press release, the WSJ highlights how Soros intends on making the Soros properties even “more political” than they already were. Who is Alexander Soros? Here’s a quick rundown.

    Soros’s strongest passions include hobnobbing with globalist parasites, subsidizing left wing movements, and agitating against the world’s lone Jewish state, an endeavor that surely makes his kapo father proud. Similar to his father, Alex Soros uses his Jewish heritage as a moral shield to advance far-left progressive causes, declaring any and all detractors to his ideology as anti semites and white supremacists.

    The new public facing leader of Soros Inc is not exactly an inspiring public figure, to put it mildly. Despite not being able to string a sentences together without the use of three dozen verbal pauses, Alexander Soros supposedly “earned” a PhD from U Cal Berkeley. To get a sense of what we mean, check out this recent Q&A from the sidelines of the World Economic Forum’s latest annual Davos confab:

    Alexander Soros appears to have never held a real job. He spent most of his 20s and 30s as a partying New York socialite who was “working on his PhD.” Since then, he has established “philanthropies” that use his father’s money to advance leftist causes. A standard climate hoax hypocrite, Soros makes demands of others to lower their “carbon footprint,” while regularly traveling around the world via private jet and owning homes that he purchased with his father’s money in Berkeley, Manhattan, and throughout Europe.

    Overall, I am incredibly bullish about this move.

    According to the Harvard Business Review, some 70% of family-owned businesses fail or are sold before the second generation takes the reins. And only 10% of those businesses make it to the third generation. While George Soros’s vast properties are both businesses and “non-profits,” the same rules and odds generally apply to both types of institutions. Advocates for human freedom should rejoice, and hope that the Alexander Soros wields complete control over Soros Inc, as that would be the fastest route to its demise.

    Love him or hate him, the elder Soros undoubtedly possesses a brilliant financial and political activist oriented mind, having successfully established an NGO superpower that has fully integrated its large nefarious influence into the hearts of countless governments. Alex Soros, on the other hand, is merely a beneficiary of nepotism, and nothing more than a midwit, guilt-ridden leftist ideologue.

    I don’t know about you, but I look forward to the swift collapse of Soros Inc under Alex’s watch.”

      1. Remember the XO Trump signed early on about people found guilty of human trafficking being forced to forfeit their gazillions of $$$’s? Immediately after that is when Soros Sr. transferred something like $8 or 12 billion to his primary foundation, Open Society.
