“Loretta Lynch threatened the NYPD + NY FBI w. charges on Eric Garner case if they went public w. contents of Weiner’s laptop.”
That’s huge. I wonder (1) if it’s true and, if so, (2) if anyone will pay attention to it.
It kind-of makes sense. The issue of Weiner’s laptop died mysteriously after a top NYPD person said they’d release it if the FBI didn’t. Well, the FBI didn’t, and the NYPD didn’t.
YOW!!!!
Just a thought. Nobody likes reading technical journals. Well, maybe some do. Nobody like science class. Again, maybe some do.
My point being. Serious is good. Truth, as you say, is good.
But also important is bonding, camaraderie, and a sense of team. Some amount of fun is necessary in order to "lighten the mood," build the team, keep morale high, AND have a bit of fun while doing serious, mind-numbing, and sometimes even frightening work.
We exist here on an island, in a manner of speaking. We are attacked from all sides. Scorn is heaped upon us by the enemy as well as some of our own people. In both this FR environment and society at large, we are sometimes cast as the kookoobirds and "conspiracy theorists."
I, for one, will keep my sense of humor and not become an automaton that has to remain serious in the face of all this. That road leads to rage. I will remain the happy warrior and laugh in the face of darkness.
Much like in police work, hospital work, emergency responder work, and I assume, military work; humor, sometimes even inappropriate humor, relieves stress and helps keep the group's courage up. The mind needs fun, and yes diversion, or it stares into the abyss too long. And we all know what happens then (Nietzsche).
At least, that's what I think. So, to answer your question:
Are we committed to the TRUTH...or are we in this for fun and diversion.
Both.

Also From that article:
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/05/31/blood-transfusions-from-teenagers-start-up-charging-8000-apiece.html
About 100 people have signed up to receive an infusion, founder Dr. Jesse Karmazin said Wednesday at the Code Conference.
Anyone over age 35 can become an Ambrosia customer, said Karmazin, but most of the early adopters tend to be of retirement age. He also stressed that it’s a range of people, and not just Bay Area technologists, who have signed up.
The donated blood typically comes from teenagers, although anyone under age 25 is eligible. The company buys its supply from blood banks, which also sell blood to pharmaceutical companies. So high-schoolers donating their blood are not aware that it might be used on healthy adults.
These studies are far from definitive, and scientists have spoken out about the ethics of such a study, which they see as taking advantage of the public’s excitement and lacking much evidence. But the concept has seen a recent resurgence in interest because well-known Silicon Valley investors like Peter Thiel have spoken out about its promise.
WATCH THE WATER. I wonder what the authorities are doing with the water? Remember LDR commenting about dieing of thirst?
The Article is under:
Chairman Bob Goodlatte Discusses IG Report on Andrew McCabe and Other Matters…
The comments under this one is very interesting...
Yes, it breaks my heart. Going on these twitter sites of Syrian soldiers has really been upsetting. I am worried for them.
Wait, what?
Oh, because he's a rooster?
I get it. Kinda' a stretch, but I get it. :)
Thanks for your insight. I hadn’t thought that about JA and it makes perfect sense. I do hope he’s a good egg in more way than one. He could really help the White Hats.

The super rich are injecting blood from teenagers to gain ‘immortality’
incredible...
I thought about that and then I remembered how POTUS always uses their own stuff against them.....
Peter Thiel, one of the founders of Palantir, which we have discussed.
(Just wanna keep that name alive in the group consciousness.)
Carry on.
Thank Q for the link!
I must have missed this:
Backpage CEO Pleads Guilty to Charges, Assists in Federal Investigation
Carl Ferrer admits to money laundering and facilitating of prostitution in connection to website linked to sex trafficking
Unsealed court documents revealed Friday that Backpage.com’s Carl Ferrer recently pleaded guilty to charges of money laundering and conspiracy to facilitate prostitution.
The guilty plea, which follows the Justice Department’s seizure of the website that has been linked with illegal sex trafficking, also suggests that Ferrer will testify against his fellow Backpage co-founders. Seven employees, including co-founders Michael Lacey and James Larkin, were also arrested last week on federal charges of facilitating prostitution.
In his admission of guilt, the Washington Post reports, Ferrer outlined how the company helped advertisers reword ads to avoid prostitution charges and how Backpage created shell corporations and used crypto-currency to hide revenue from authorities.
“I conspired with other Backpage principals…to find ways to knowingly facilitate the state-law prostitution crimes being committed by Backpage’s customers,” Ferrer admitted, adding of the company’s rewording of ads, “Such editing did not, of course, change the essential nature of the illegal service being offered in the ad – it was merely intended to create a veneer of deniability for Backpage.”
You are quite amazing, the article I read seems as though it was about the same thing. Just about a year ago.
here’s your link..
I’m sure he added yet another note to the mental excel spreadsheet under the naughty tab.
How old are these teenagers who are donating blood?
No one under 18 should be legally allowed to donate blood, I wonder if they are. Most teenagers are still growing, they NEED their own blood!
Good point.
