That distinction is very interesting. I didn’t notice the change. You’re probably correct. That “bombshell” has been buried, for some reason, and your observation may be it. Thank you.
you linked to what is probably the biggest bombshell testimony reported to date . . .
Combined with the reporting of Lisa Page's testimony, Bruce Ohr's testimony brings it all together. At least we know why Bruce was never criminally charged, and in a sense is kinda of a hero.
Bruce Ohr's testimony essentially compromises Muellers investigation on the "Trump" collusion. However, the evidence is clear, Manafort and Cohen were dirty. Flynn was set-up, Carter Page and Papadopolous were just stupid. I can't help, but believe somehow Nominee for Attorney General Barr knew all this beforehand. Explains the silence or lack of pushback for the rats and media. Amazing time we are living in. I now believe, the white hats are going win this epic battle.
Let a thousand flowers bloom is a common misquotation of Chairman Mao Zedong’s “Let a hundred flowers blossom”. This slogan was used during the period of approximately six weeks in the summer of 1957 when the Chinese intelligentsia were invited to criticize the political system then obtaining in Communist China.
The full quotation, taken from a speech of Mao’s in Peking in February 1957, is:
“Letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend is the policy for promoting progress in the arts and the sciences and a flourishing socialist culture in our land.”
It is sometimes suggested that the initiative was a deliberate attempt to flush out dissidents by encouraging them to show themselves as critical of the regime. Whether or not it was a deliberate trap isn’t clear but it is the case that many of those who put forward views that were unwelcome to Mao were executed.

CCP propaganda suggested that the Hundred Flowers produced an inflow of mild and moderate criticism. In reality, the government came under siege from critics and letter writers. While some accepted the criticisms at face value, Mao himself dismissed most of them as self-serving, ridiculous or irrelevant. A June 1957 editorial drew a line under the Hundred Flowers campaign, while Mao’s earlier speech on “correctly handling contradictions” was republished – after being edited to suggest that not all contradictions could be tolerated. The Hundred Flowers gave way to a new purge called the Anti-Rightist movement, initiated in the summer of 1957. Between 300,000 and 550,000 individuals were identified as Rightists, most of them intellectuals, academics, writers and artists. The majority were publicly discredited and lost their jobs, while a smaller number were forced into labour camps for ‘re-education’. As with the earlier Suppression of Counter-revolutionaries and Antis campaigns, thousands were also driven to suicide. What had begun in early 1956 as a promise of liberalisation and tolerance, finished in late 1957 with persecution, coercion and brutality.

A Halt to the Hundred Flowers Campaign
On June 8, 1957, Chairman Mao called a halt to the Hundred Flowers Campaign. He announced that it was time to pluck the “poisonous weeds” from the bed of flowers. Hundreds of intellectuals and students were rounded up, including pro-democracy activists Luo Longqi and Zhang Bojun, and were forced to publicly confess that they had organized a secret conspiracy against socialism. The crackdown sent hundreds of leading Chinese thinkers to labor camps for “re-education” or to prison. The brief experiment with freedom of speech was over.

Yup, this is a thing.
From some of my 2016 notes:

There is the possibility that Bruce Ohrs testimony was released because it serves the purpose of turning the rats against each other. He may well end up the scapegoat after this ... for turning first.
I would say it’s bye, bye to SES.

FBI Arrests Man Suspected of Plotting Attack on White House with Explosives
The suspect, 21-year-old Hasher Jallal Taheb, allegedly possessed a “hand-drawn diagram” of the West Wing’s ground floor and planned to equip a backpack with explosives and approach the White House “from the back road, causing a distraction for police, and then proceeding into [it]” to launch an attack. The suspect also allegedly planned attacks on the Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, and a “specific synagogue,” which was not named in the court filing....
The investigation, [U.S. Attorney B.J. Pak] said, began after a tip from someone in the community. It claims that Taheb planned to use explosive devices and an anti-tank rocket to carry out his attack. At this time, Pak said they believe Taheb was acting alone and “all potential threats have been neutralized.”
Interesting development. Analogous to a clown exiting a clown car and accusing the next one out of the car of being a clown.
Anybody see this?
A controversial startup that charges $8,000 to fill your veins with young blood now claims to be up and running in 5 cities across the US

Seems to me that POTUS (may re-election be upon him) formally required Department heads to identify redundancies and re-organize their organizations.
And, wasn’t that re-org report due sometime this month.
Dang, gotta dig that back up. That last part might be wrong...
