Q Anon: (4/22/18) FRiendly Freeper Collaboration

-- ... is it more difficult to compel testimony from RR if he quits? --

It depends on the venue. If in a court or investigative proceeding against somebody else, makes no difference. If against his own interests, he is generally less able to assert the fifth as an employee, but his job is the only thing on the line if he chose to stay mum.

David Corn is a scumbag too!

Early last year, when this allegation became public, along with much of the rest of the dossier, Trump denounced it as “crap” compiled by “sick people.” Since then, the allegation has remained uncorroborated, a fact that has given ammunition to those who want to dismiss the entire dossier as a fabrication. When it first emerged in public, the hotel-room allegation’s credibility was so hotly debated, it split the legendary investigative-reporting team of Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who won a joint Pulitzer Prize for their exposure of the Watergate scandal. Bernstein, who helped CNN break the news of the Steele dossier, last January, argued that it was “not fake news.” But Woodward dismissed it as “garbage,” a comment that won him a thank-you note from Trump.

In a new book being published on Tuesday, “Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump,” the co-authors Michael Isikoff and David Corn report an anecdote suggesting that so-called golden showers were a form of entertainment familiar to some in Trump’s circle, even if not necessarily to Trump himself. According to the authors, both of whom are veteran, Washington-based investigative reporters, in the early-morning hours of June 15, 2013, some five months before the alleged Moscow incident, Trump visited a Las Vegas night club called the Act that was infamous for its sexually explicit theatre shows. Among the skits regularly performed at the Act were two in which semi-nude women would simulate urination onstage. As Isikoff and Corn note, it is unclear whether these skits were performed on the night that Trump visited the club. But court records confirm that they were in the club’s regular repertoire.

Isikoff and Corn note that the Act closed after the judge ruled against it, and that they were unable to determine which skits were performed the night that Trump attended, or even whether Trump paid any attention to what was onstage. Instead, Isikoff and Corn write that Trump’s focus that night was apparently the cementing of a business relationship with one of his companions, Emin Agalarov, an Azerbaijani pop singer. Trump, the authors write, was wooing Agalarov’s wealthy and Kremlin-connected family in pursuit of potential Russian business deals. “Russian Roulette” quotes Rob Goldstone, a British publicist for the pop singer, who was also present at the Act that night, recalling Trump extolling his plans. Trump reportedly told Emin, “We’re going to have a great relationship.” Later that day, Trump announced that the Agalarov family would partner with him in presenting the 2013 Miss Universe competition in Moscow. It was during the Miss Universe competition, in November of 2013, according to the Steele dossier’s sources, that Trump allegedly engaged the prostitutes at the Ritz-Carlton. (The White House did not respond to a request for comment about the book’s allegations concerning Trump’s 2013 visit to the Las Vegas night club.)

A source close to Steele, who declined to be identified, described the overlap between the Act’s performances and the Ritz-Carlton allegation as “interesting.” He acknowledged that for Steele, whose life and work I recently investigated for The New Yorker, the details in the new book are likely to be “something of a two-edged sword.” As he put it, “There’s a risk that there was some conflation of the story,” meaning a blurring of what happened at the Act and what allegedly happened at the Moscow hotel. But at the same time, he noted, “It does suggest that there is some kind of track record here. This behavior was not unheard of in Trump’s circle. So in that sense, it adds to the credibility of the dossier.” (In “Russian Roulette,” Corn and Isikoff report that Steele would tell colleagues his confidence in the Ritz-Carlton story was “fifty-fifty.” He treated everything in the dossier as raw intelligence material—not proven fact.)

“Russian Roulette” also sheds more light on Steele’s sources—whose identities he has fiercely guarded. According to Isikoff and Corn, Steele’s sources include two figures whose expertise may be questionable. One source for the “golden showers” allegation, according to Isikoff and Corn, was Sergei Millian, a mysterious Belarusian-American businessman whose claims to have been an intimate of Trump and his circle have been disputed by those close to Trump. The authors assert that Millian was an “unwitting” source for Steele—that he spoke about Trump to an interlocutor without realizing that his statements were being conveyed to the former British spy. Millian, however, has subsequently appeared on Russian television to deny that he has ever had any damning information about the President. The Steele dossier, the authors write, “described Millian as a Trump intimate, but there was no public evidence he was close to the mogul.” (The Steele dossier, however, did cite several other sources for the Ritz-Carlton allegation, whom Corn and Isikoff don’t mention, including a “member of the staff at the hotel” and “a female staffer at the hotel when Trump stayed there.”) The other unconventional source, according to the authors, is an unnamed woman whom they describe as “the paramour of a Kremlin insider.” In other words, as they put it, some of the incendiary allegations against the President of the United States contained in the Steele dossier may have begun literally as “pillow talk.”

Good heavens - we are here to post, share, and preserve data! you did good!

Oh, a KNOWN Armenian Wolf.

First time I have seen Melania with Macron’s wife where Melania’s dress was shorter than her French counterpart.

Not my fave Melania outfit, but she is always a beauty.

Archimedes found, by comparing the circumference of a circle to regular inscribed and circumscribed polygons, that π is between the values 3 10/71 and 3 1/7.

In general, math classes teach that 3.14 is a close approximation of 3 1/7 = 22/7. So I think I would make your comment a bit differently.

3.14 is an approximation of 22/7 which can be carried out to infinity and come ever closer to the value of 22/7, which is in and of itself an approximation of the value of pi. Where π = c/d, c being the circumference and d being the diameter of a circle.

So for any given circle, either the fraction or the decimal representation are approximations. To get the "real" value you would need to know the actual circumference and diameter and use that ratio in any equation.

To any one who would like to discuss the issue further, I suggest private reply rather than clutter the thread anymore than I already have.

apologies to everyone's eyes - adjusted for paragraphs

Possibly, It blew my mind. Professor assured me it was relevant to space calculations. I decided to go into business and accounting instead. LOL

Wait - so you are indicating that NIKK’s long post about JFK Sr/Jr/CIA/Dulles - is problematic?

Sad isn't it? He's so brave and appreciated by his Base. God bless him.

I think Melania's design helped take the attention of the heavy coat somewhat away from him. She also let Brigitte go with a light color. Good about trying to not up stage her guest.

Did you translate your post to English before you posted, may I ask? :^)

An anon at 8chan posted this transcript of the speech. It was not broken into paragraphs, however, it is still a great read.

Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you the American people. The Washington establishment, and the financial and media corporations that fund it, exists for only one reason to protect and enrich itself. The establishment has trillions of dollars at stake in this election. For those who control the levers of power in Washington and for the global special interests they partner with, These People that don’t have your good in mind. Our campaign represents a true existential threat like they haven't seen before. This is not simply another four-year election. This is a crossroads in the history of our civilization that will determine whether or not we the people reclaim control over our government. The political establishment that is trying to stop us, is the same group responsible for our disastrous trade deals. Massive illegal immigration and economic and foreign policies that have bled our country dry. The political establishment has brought about the destruction of our factories and our jobs as they flee to Mexico China and other countries all around the world it's a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class stripped our country of its wealth, and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities. This is a struggle for the survival of our nation; and this will be our last chance to save it. This election will determine whether we're a free nation, or whether we have only the illusion of democracy but are in fact rigging the system; and our system is rigged. This is reality you know it they know it I know it and pretty much the whole world knows it. The Clinton machine is at the center of this power source. We've seen this Firsthand in the WikiLeaks documents in which Hillary Clinton meets in secret with international banks to plot the destruction of us sovereignty in order to enrich these global financial powers her special interest friends and her donors. Honestly, she should be locked up. The most powerful weapon deployed by the Clintons is the corporate media the press let's be clear on one thing the corporate media in our country is no longer involved in journalism. They are a political special interest, no different than any lobbyist or other financial entity, with a total political agenda; and the agenda is not for you, it's for themselves. Anyone who challenges their control is deemed a sexist, a racist, a xenophobe! They will lie, and then again they will do worse than that. They will do whatever is necessary. The Clintons are criminals remember that. This is well documented and the establishment that protects them has engaged in a massive cover-up of widespread criminal activity at the State Department and the Clinton Foundation in order to keep the Clintons in power. They knew they would throw every lie they couldn't me, and my family, and my loved ones. They knew they would stop at nothing to try to stop me. Nevertheless, I take all of these slings and arrows, gladly, for you I take them for our movement, so that we can have our country back. I knew this day would arrive. It’s only a question of when. And I knew the American People would rise above it and vote for the future they deserve. The only thing that can stop this corrupt a machine is you the only force strong enough to save our country, is US. The only people brave enough to vote out this corrupt establishment is you guys, the American people. Our great civilization has come upon a moment of reckoning. I didn't need to do this, folks believe me. I built a great company and I had a wonderful life I could have enjoyed the fruits and benefit of years of successful business deals, and businesses for myself my family Instead of going through this absolute horror show of lies deceptions malicious attacks… Who would have thought? I'm doing it because this country has given me so much, and I felt so strongly that it’s my turn to give back to the country that I love. I’m doing this for the people, and for the movement, and we will take back this country for you, and we will Make America Great Again.

Welcome..I was afraid it would disappear. Good article I thought too. Lots to think about for sure.

Me, neither.

I’ve learned from our Donald that what seems like a loss can always be leveraged into an advantage, given a little time.

No, I did put in paragraphs afterwards though. Sorry.

"What do you make of it?

Liberals CAN'T do math!

The flight records don’t say who was aboard the jet, which took off from Asheville at 9:15 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 7, bound for Moscow’s Vnukovo International Airport.

At the Ritz The Bombardier jet landed in Moscow at 6:15 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 8. From Vnukovo airport, it’s less than an hour’s drive to the Ritz-Carlton hotel, where Trump stayed, according to the pageant’s host, developer Aras Agalarov.

Thats like impossible.

Ah At last, a Wendy that has something do with an actual event! I knew we would find out sooner or later!

Hmmm Belleau Wood very Famous fight for the US Marines-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Belleau_Wood

The Battle of Belleau Wood (1–26 June 1918) occurred during the German Spring Offensive in World War I, near the Marne River in France. The battle was fought between the U.S. 2nd (under the command of Major General Omar Bundy) and 3rd Divisions along with French and British forces against an assortment of German units including elements from the 237th, 10th, 197th, 87th, and 28th Divisions. The battle has become a key component of the lore of the United States Marine Corps.

On the evening of 1 June, German forces punched a hole in the French lines to the left of the Marines’ position. In response, the U.S. reserve—consisting of the 23rd Infantry Regiment, the 1st Battalion, 5th Marines, and an element of the 6th Machine Gun Battalion—conducted a forced march over 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to plug the gap in the line, which they achieved by dawn. By the night of 2 June, the U.S. forces held a 20 kilometres (12 mi) front line north of the Paris-Metz Highway running through grain fields and scattered woods, from Triangle Farm west to Lucy and then north to Hill 142. The German line opposite ran from Vaux to Bouresches to Belleau.

German commanders ordered an advance on Marigny and Lucy through Belleau Wood as part of a major offensive, in which other German troops would cross the Marne River. The commander of the Marine Brigade, Army General James Harbord, countermanding a French order to dig trenches further to the rear, ordered the Marines to “hold where they stand”. With bayonets, the Marines dug shallow fighting positions from which they could fight from the prone position. In the afternoon of 3 June, German infantry attacked the Marine positions through the grain fields with bayonets fixed. The Marines waited until the Germans were within 100 yd (91 m) before opening deadly rifle fire which mowed down waves of German infantry and forced the survivors to retreat into the woods.

Having suffered heavy casualties, the Germans dug in along a defensive line from Hill 204, just east of Vaux, to Le Thiolet on the Paris-Metz Highway and northward through Belleau Wood to Torcy. After Marines were repeatedly urged to turn back by retreating French forces, Marine Captain Lloyd W. Williams of the 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines uttered the now-famous retort “Retreat? Hell, we just got here”. Williams’ battalion commander, Major Frederic Wise, later claimed to have said the famous words.

On 4 June, Major General Bundy—commanding the 2nd Division—took command of the American sector of the front. Over the next two days, the Marines repelled the continuous German assaults. The 167th French Division arrived, giving Bundy a chance to consolidate his 2,000 yards (1,800 m) of front. Bundy’s 3rd Brigade held the southern sector of the line, while the Marine brigade held the north of the line from Triangle Farm.

On the night of 4 June, the intelligence officer for the 6th Marines, Lieutenant William A. Eddy, and two men stole through German lines to gather information about German forces. They gathered valuable information showing the Germans were consolidating machine gun positions and bringing in artillery. While this activity indicated an attack was not immediately likely, their increasing strength was creating a base of attack that raised concern about breaking through to Paris.

At 17:00 on 6 June, the 3rd Battalion 5th Marines (3/5)—commanded by Major Benjamin S. Berry, and the 3rd Battalion 6th Marines (3/6)—commanded by Major Berton W. Sibley, on their right—advanced from the west into Belleau Wood as part of the second phase of the Allied offensive. Again, the Marines had to advance through a waist-high wheat field into deadly machine gun fire. One of the most famous quotations in Marine Corps history came during the initial step-off for the battle when Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daly, a recipient of two Medals of Honor who had served in the Philippines, Santo Domingo, Haiti, Peking and Vera Cruz, prompted his men of the 73rd Machine Gun Company forward with the words: “Come on, you sons of bitches, do you want to live forever?”

he first waves of Marines—advancing in well-disciplined lines—were slaughtered; Major Berry was wounded in the forearm during the advance. On his right, the Marines of Major Sibley’s 3/6 Battalion swept into the southern end of Belleau Wood and encountered heavy machine gun fire, sharpshooters and barbed wire. Marines and German infantrymen were soon engaged in heavy hand-to-hand fighting. The casualties sustained on this day were the highest in Marine Corps history up to that time. Some 31 officers and 1,056 men of the Marine brigade were casualties. However, the Marines now had a foothold in Belleau Wood.

The battle was now deadlocked. At midnight on 7–8 June, a German attack was stopped cold and an American counter-attack in the morning of 8 June was similarly defeated. Sibley’s battalion—having sustained nearly 400 casualties—was relieved by the 1st Battalion, 6th Marines. Major Shearer took over the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines for the wounded Berry. On 9 June, an enormous American and French barrage devastated Belleau Wood, turning the formerly attractive hunting preserve into a jungle of shattered trees. The Germans counter-fired into Lucy and Bouresches and reorganized their defenses inside Belleau Wood.

In the morning of 10 June, Major Hughes’ 1st Battalion, 6th Marines—together with elements of the 6th Machine Gun Battalion—attacked north into the wood. Although this attack initially seemed to be succeeding, it was also stopped by machine gun fire. The commander of the 6th Machine Gun Battalion—Major Cole—was mortally wounded. Captain Harlan Major—senior captain present with the battalion—took command. The Germans used great quantities of mustard gas. Next, Wise’s 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines was ordered to attack the woods from the west, while Hughes continued his advance from the south.

At 04:00 on 11 June, Wise’s men advanced through a thick morning mist towards Belleau Wood, supported by the 23rd and 77th companies of the 6th Machine Gun Battalion, and elements of the 2nd Battalion, 2nd Engineers and were cut to pieces by heavy fire. Platoons were isolated and destroyed by interlocked machine gun fire. It was discovered that the battalion had advanced in the wrong direction. Rather than moving northeast, they had moved directly across the wood’s narrow waist. However, they smashed the German southern defensive lines. A German private, whose company had 30 men left out of 120, wrote “We have Americans opposite us who are terribly reckless fellows.”

Overall, the woods were attacked by the Marines a total of six times before they could successfully expel the Germans. They fought off parts of five divisions of Germans, often reduced to using only their bayonets or fists in hand-to-hand combat.

On 26 June, the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, under command of Major Maurice E. Shearer, supported by two companies of the 4th Machine Gun Battalion and the 15th Company of the 6th Machine Gun Battalion, made an attack on Belleau Wood, which finally cleared that forest of Germans. On that day, Major Shearer submitted a report simply stating, “Woods now U.S. Marine Corps entirely”, ending one of the bloodiest and most ferocious battles U.S. forces would fight in the war.

United States forces suffered 9,777 casualties, included 1,811 killed. Many are buried in the nearby Aisne-Marne American Cemetery. There is no clear information on the number of German soldiers killed, although 1,600 were taken prisoner.

After the battle, the French renamed the wood “Bois de la Brigade de Marine” (”Wood of the Marine Brigade”) in honor of the Marines’ tenacity. The French government also later awarded the 4th Brigade the Croix de guerre. An official German report classified the Marines as “vigorous, self-confident, and remarkable marksmen ...” General Pershing—commander of the AEF—even said, “The deadliest weapon in the world is a United States Marine and his rifle.” Pershing also said “the Battle of Belleau Wood was for the U.S. the biggest battle since Appomattox and the most considerable engagement American troops had ever had with a foreign enemy.”

Legend and lore has it that the Germans used the term “Teufelshunde” (”devil dogs”) for the Marines. However, this has not been confirmed, as the term was not commonly known in contemporary German. The closest common German term would be “Höllenhunde” which means “hellhound”.

Regardless of the term’s origin, ten years after the battle, Lieutenant Colonel Ernst Otto, from the Historical Section of the German Army, wrote of the Marine Corps; “Their fiery advance and great tenacity were well recognized by their opponents.

I'm lost in the crowd of great posters here. My mouth opens many times during the day at the information posted.

Very few mohammedans are Armenian.

I wonder if someone would paid him to commit this act.
