Planting The Flag

The new movie celebrating Neil Armstrong as the first man on the moon slides right past the planting of an American flag on the moon. Forget it, Jack, it's Hollywood and waving the flag is for redneck rube Trump voters, amirite? Anyway, the moon landing was a human achievement, not an American one. Set aside that Kennedy had announjced a space race against the Soviets, who had an early lead due to their expertise with heavy rockets. Sputnik and Yuri Gagarin had challenged American know-how and Kennedy responded with a race to the moon. But humanity won!

But forget Kennedy. By the time Nixon was there to congratulate the astronauts we were a different country. Here is E.B. White writing in the New Yorker back in July 1969:

The moon, it turns out, is a great place for men. One-sixth gravity must be a lot of fun, and when Armstrong and Aldrin went into their bouncy little dance, like two happy children, it was a moment not only of triumph but of gaiety. The moon, on the other hand, is a poor place for flags. Ours looked stiff and awkward, trying to float on the breeze that does not blow. (There must be a lesson here somewhere.) It is traditional, of course, for explorers to plant the flag, but it struck us, as we watched with awe and admiration and pride, that our two fellows were universal men, not national men, and should have been equipped accordingly. Like every great river and every great sea, the moon belongs to none and belongs to all. It still holds the key to madness, still controls the tides that lap on shores everywhere, still guards the lovers who kiss in every land under no banner but the sky. What a pity that in our moment of triumph we did not forswear the familiar Iwo Jima scene and plant instead a device acceptable to all: a limp white handkerchief, perhaps, symbol of the common cold, which, like the moon, affects us all, unites us all.

Whatever. This is how you get more Nixon.

Just as 9/11/01 galvanized a generation of young people perhaps
9/1/18 (the date of McCain's funeral) will be the inspiration for
another generation of Americans to eschew tribalism and seek common
ground in defense of overarching values.

Yeah.....right. Who is this crazy bitch?

Bobby was killed in June. They landed on the moon in July. How so? remember, the '67 war was quite recent, and my guess is that Sirhan B. Sirhan was looking for any white oppressor he could find.

All of the astronauts of the time were red white and blue Americans. They were almost all fighter or test pilots flying the hot shit. You cannot tell me how some shithead director from Hollywood can get around that by leaving out the penultimate moment except through his disrespect for our country.

I remember sitting on my parent's bed with them and watching the B&W in the bedroom at @ 9 something at night, and virtually every other set in everywhere except the East Bloc was also tuned in.

More establishment douchery.

Speaking of Hollywood, I posted this at the very end of the last thread and it seems pertinent here:

Janet!

Look at this!

Go for it, Hollywood!

I do not have cable and do not watch network TV. My Fox shows that I do watch I get on a free live stream. I haven't been to a movie in the theater in 4-5 years.

I am quite happy. I am entertained with reading news on the internet and following the President, in between cleaning house and doing laundry. I don't need any of them.

[Old Lurker]

The moon landing was near the time of the Ted Kennedy car launch.

[Old Lurker]

Also it was 1969, not 67.

[Jim Eagle]

Right, OL. I remember a lot of news reports from Martha's Vineyard.

[Beasts of England]

'...a space race against the Soviets, who had an early lead due to their expertise with heavy rockets.'

Hmm.

'The September 1956 test launch of a Jupiter-C for the Army Ballistic Missile Agency could have been the world's first satellite launch. Had a fourth stage been loaded and fueled, the nose cone would have overshot the target and entered orbit.'

The thing about Sessions and his "no political timing on MY watch" is that he was played into timing perfect for the other political team as to those two persecutions.

And of course he does not see that.

[Texas Liberty Gal]

[Miss Marple (the real one)]

matt,

I was an Air Force wife in West Berlin in 1969. I had seen the crowds marching past my fourth floor balcony on Martin Luther Strasse after Bobb's assassination.

I had also seen a couple plowing their farm field in East Germany while riding the duty train out to W. Germany. The WIFE was pulling the plow!

So, we sat with friends who had on-base housing and Armed Forces Network television and watched every second of the landing. I never felt prouder of my country.

[Miss Marple (the real one)]

Texas Liberty Gal,

Yes, they can be that clueless. Otherwise, why would they make the movie about the moon landing without the flag? For some reason they get in a bubble, probably because they are surrounded by sycophants and people who profit from their stardom.

Sure is different from stars like David Niven and John Wayne.

[Momto2]

Told a liberal friend today that I was alive for the moon landing and as a child I knew it was a "race" and that America won! For the movie to ignore that and even to try to reframe it into "not just an American achievement" is ridiculous and a blatant lie.

Her response, "Well, these movie people are creative and have a different way of looking at things." Fine - When the movie is a big flop they can think up a "creative" reason why it failed.

[Beasts of England]

Also from Jen Rubin:

'In this window of time, following McCain’s death and in the midst of the awfulness of the Trump administration, we might find the conditions to break the mold and rekindle the spirit of McCain, if only a little.'

[Jim Eagle]

Jen Rubin is critically brain dead. Nothing availalble even in Chinese folk medicine can help.

In July 1969, I was in bed at the San Francisco VA hospital begging to be discharged. Our whole ward watched the landing. Most of my ward were Air Force. Lots of guys who had flown with Armstrong. It was surreal. Not a noise. Everyone knew it was dangerous but also important in the realm of things that make America Great!

Back then, the media was auditioning for their role as the anti-American values source of the day. When Armstrong gave his famous explication: "One step for man, another for mankind", the media immediately went to work criticising it as over the top patriotism instead of a homage to the whole inclusive world.

It was there and then, I realized the media was my enemy, if I was to keep my perspective as an American values cheerleader. In those 49 years, nothing has changed, only got worse.

[maryrose]

Sessions looks like he doesn’t know how to play hardball with the Dems.

Jennifer Rubin and Bat Shit.

How could I tell the difference.

[Catsmeat]

Clarice and daddy, so glad you read the Maugham story. It IS brilliant. When I teach it, I have students track closely the waning and ebbing reader sympathy with first one then the other character (Warburton and Cooper); it goes back and forth in very interesting ways, including Warburton's rationalizations (such as when he almost goes to warn Cooper the night of the murder but turns away on hearing the gramophone because of his "instinctive dislike" of the instrument--who "instinctively" dislikes anything beyond snakes?). The students ultimately conclude it's worse to be a sadistic racist than a snob--but then the ending! Tables turned and the status quo ante but at a cost.

[James D.]

There's no better time on the lake than the forty minutes before sunset when the water turns an enigmatic silver-blue...

[Balderdashery]

the specificity of exclusion is troubling, especially when combined with questions about Kavanaugh’s questionable finances and the likelihood Kavanaugh lied under oath before the Senate in 2006. It gives the appearance of a cover-up, which is more than bad faith; it’s malignancy.

Before Justice Kennedy retired we had already quite enough of GOP bad faith. Obama’s SCOTUS nominee Merrick Garland should have had a hearing; his work product had not been suppressed. Obama’s previous nominees had likewise been fully vetted, their documents made available. But Mitch McConnell suppressed Obama’s last appointment in bad faith; there is nothing at all in the Constitution to support the Senate’s denial of Obama’s appointment by refusing to evaluate his nominee.

Article 2, Section 2: He shall have Power, by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, to make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur; and he shall nominate, and by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate, shall appoint Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, Judges of the supreme Court, and all other Officers of the United States, whose Appointments are not herein otherwise provided for, and which shall be established by Law: but the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.

(emphasis mine)

Refusing to hold a hearing meant a rejection of the Senate’s role to advise and consent. By the simplest interpretation of the Constitution, McConnell violated his oath of office by failing to support and defend the Constitution of the United States and to well and faithfully discharge the duties of his office..

[Balderdashery]

Despite the McCutcheon setup, the court has moved slowly. It so far has passed up an opportunity to review precedents dating back to before Justice Samuel Alito joined the high bench in 2006, when the court flipped from a body deeply deferential to campaign finance regulation to one deeply skeptical of it. The court has repeatedly refused to reconsider the constitutionality of the 2002 McCain-Feingold law limiting the ability of political parties to take “soft money” donations from wealthy individuals, corporations, and labor unions, as well as refusing to consider overturning a pre-Alito case, Beaumont v. Federal Election Commission, barring corporations from contributing directly to candidates.

If, as expected, Judge Brett Kavanaugh joins the court, he could well push it to move more quickly, in a way that could eventually cause the downfall of the federal law that limits an individual to contributing no more than $2,700 per election to a candidate for federal office. Kavanaugh worked in the Bush White House when it was looking at the McCain-Feingold law, which Bush eventually signed even while expressing constitutional reservations about parts of it in a signing statement.

Recently released documents from the time that Kavanaugh was advising Bush on McCain-Feingold show a person seriously skeptical of campaign finance laws’ constitutionality. Kavanaugh expressed deep misgivings about laws that let outside groups spend unlimited sums in elections while limiting how much candidates and parties can raise to respond to such ads. He told another adviser that he saw “serious First Amendment problems” with capping what people can contribute to candidates, adding that “it is possible my 1A views are even purer than yours.” He also noted that while “very few people” thought contribution limits to candidates are unconstitutional, “I for one tend to think those limits have constitutional problems.

[Bork it!]

The irony is delicious that one of Kavanaugh’s most important jobs for BushCheney was to shepherd its nominees for the federal courts through the Senate confirmation process. Brett knows all about it, more than many current Senators.

McConnell’s urgency to approve Kavanaugh is laughable as well as ironic, given how thoroughly and how long he held up Obama’s nominees. One of his arguments was that the people should be given a chance to speak – that is, vote – before the Senate acted. That was not an argument that had any currency after it was no longer useful to Mitch.

Will the Senate Democrats ever consider that they are playing softly, softly, bringing kinds words and the occasional hard one to a knife fight.

The freedom to work to death is apparently something the right feels strongly about. But you gotta wonder how much better tourism would be and how much less stressful everyday life would be if we just had the time to enjoy it.

But Brett Kavanaugh hearings start this week and federal workers are looking forward to a year without a COLA increase. And health insurance is about to become more expensive for millions on Obamacare. Kavanaugh could be confirmed without Democrats’ assistance depending on who replaces McCain. Republican court appointees have never really been about abortion. They’ve been about something else altogether. And Labor is feeling it.

Perhaps because the author assumes readers are already familiar with this part of the Saudi story, the kingdom is facing serious budgetary pressures even with oil now over $70 a barrel. Stability has been achieved only by generous payments to the populace at large. Take that away and the legitimacy of the government comes into question. This was the reason for trying to take Aramco public at an unrealistically high price, and for Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to be keen about pipe dreams to greatly reduce Riyadh’s dependence on energy revenues in a mere decade.

By Tim Daiss, an oil markets analyst, journalist and author that has been working out of the Asia-Pacific region for 12 years. I’ve covered oil, energy markets and geopolitics for Forbes, Platts, Interfax, NewsBase, Rigzone, and the UK-based Independent (newspaper) as well as providing energy markets analysis for subscription newsletters. I’ve also authored geopolitical reports and analysis for Singapore-based consultancy Enerdata. Originally published at OilPrice

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said on Friday that Vladimir Putin is preparing to visit Saudi Arabia. The statement comes after the Russian president received an invitation from Saudi King Salman at an unspecified time, according to reports. Bogdanov added that the visit is pending on Putin’s schedule.

King Salman became the first Saudi monarch to visit Russia last October, meeting Putin in the Kremlin. The disclosure on Friday also comes just months after Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salmon visited Moscow to attend the opening of the 2018 World Cup. He also meets with Putin during this visit.

While Bogdanov declined to disclose what the talks would be about, it’s apparent that global oil markets will be on the top of the agenda as will developments in Syria (where Moscow and Riyadh are on opposing sides in the ongoing Syrian Civil War), as well as talk about fresh U.S. sanctions on Iran that could remove, according to many estimates, up to 1 million barrels per day of oil from global markets..

It was Russia that came to the aid of Saudi Arabia after the kingdom had for all practical purposes lost its decades long ability to play global oil markets swing producer as U.S. shale oil production revolutionized markets.

In this video, filmed at the Goeth Institute in Berlin in 2012, Jewish leaders from Germany, Poland, Israel, and the US discuss how to make Poland a state favorable to the Jews. Their proposals include legal abortion, open borders, crippling the Church, remigration of all Polish-descended Jews, Hebrew as a second language, and using the government to force the Church to accept homosexuality.

This video is so blatant I thought it was some sort of parody at first, but apparently it's quite real. Marc Siegel, the host, is a senior fellow at the Institute.

Perhaps the most disturbing part to me is how they actually laugh with glee after some of their proposals, like when they fantasize about forcing Polish Catholic priests to ordain women and accept homosexuality or be broken up by the state.

Creepy stuff. Doesn't this confirm that a lot of what's said here isn't "conspiracy" at all?

nice work Jennifer. WTF is the matter with you?

i'm sorry--- i don't have to respect one stitch of Dead Senator McCain's life or his legacy. he was as status-hungry and pathetic as General Benedict Arnold. McCain cashed in his service legacy for his own advancement. his account balance is ZERO. now shall we move on as a reason why we must respect him. millions served and dint do what he did to exploit their own uncommon valor or squelch those who *were* left behind in captivity.

in this day and age where an American doesn't have to cross enemy lines seeking asylum to betray the Country, McCain was the consummate traitor with his participation in the dossier caper, contributing to efforts to overthrow a national election.
