I don't care about the trial or the video, since we already have seen that they doctored video. In normal times, this would be called "evidence tampering."
Narciso posted this at 10:17 last night and Manuel Transmission re-posted it at 6:49 this morning, encouraging everyone to read it.
I agree, particularly if you are dealing with fearful neighbors or relatives. It's a discussion of how the CIA studied how to use fear to change memories and induce compliance in test subjects, and how it is being used on the American people now.

I see the media “reporters” are upset “right wing” comedy is coming to the 11 pm hour. There will be more whining when @greggutfeld
starts beating the late night shows.
We are still socked in. Maybe a hundred yard visibility. All our outside tiles, pavers and furniture are totally wet as if it rained but it didn't. Not even a zephyr of a breeze.
So, what is the secret video they are going to show?
I heard it shows "senators running for their lives" or something.
After reading that discussion of the CIA report I linked above, I figure this is simply another way to plant a false memory in the public mind and instill even more fear.
Current temperature is 19, with a high expected of 21. Very overcast.
We might get a little sun tomorrow, but the high will only be 24. We will not hit 30 until a week from Saturday, and we have 3 days of snow predicted next week.
"February made me shiver,

Kenneth Boulding wrote a book called The Image decades ago about the crucial role played by instilled images in manipulating perception.
Also remember that willis harman, wrote about how the body reacts the same way to virtual reality as it does to physical reality. Useful since one is far more easy to manipulate to desired ends than the other. ABC seemed rather breathless yesterday afternoon as it stopped other afternoon programming to make sure everyone knows they think Orange Man not only Bad, but practically treasonous in their minds.
Luckily my daughters hooked up something to my tv so now I can escape to other forms of broadcasting when I want an escape. I prefer fiction that is honest about what it is as opposed to fiction daily from new networks using brainwashing techniques themselves.
"Who cares?" was also my reaction, although I was a little less blunt.
As long as it's cold and we all are pretty much locked in, I think we need a good, old-fashioned blizzard a la 1978. It would force the newsies to cover something else, make a lot of reporters stand out in the snow, and send the pearl-clutching GOPe senators and the drama queen dems home for a few days.
I posted a link to the story about the Catholic parishes getting millions in PPE money, and at the time I did note that they probably needed it since they still had to pay people and maintain their buildings.
I did not know that the original author was also the one who has been covering the decades-old abuse stories, nor that he included no Protestant churches in his story, which also reeived the PPE money.
If anyone else looks at the embedded cia document in that Part 5 link from narc and then mt, look at page 53 of the pdf (page 43) and tell me it doesn't fit with the show trial in the senate and how trump is being treated.
I tried copying the language to no avail. It is very foggy in atl. It reminds me of the conditions when it always amazed me hubby could land in. I'd be sitting in the back with the kids in what appeared to be soupy conditions and then we would be on the ground, back home. When we were dating he would tell stories about tricks played on students to force them to use the instruments until it was a habit. Today reminds me of that.
‘A Personalized Power Like We Haven’t Seen’: ABC Reporter Says Trump Is A ‘Caesar’ And ‘Fuhrer’ To The Republican Party
-------------
One would think a reporter would be embarrassed to say something ridiculous like that. Perhaps he mistakes "personalized power" for "Having an actual personality."
Thinking of how the Dems remind me of Henry VIII and other kings during War of the Roses. Anyone who disagreed or dared to favorably mention "the other side" was summarily sent to the tower and possibly beheaded. So far, they can't behead Trump supporters* but "you're not allowed to question the election results" is very similar to "you're not allowed to question who should be king!"
(* Apparently they can, however, shoot and kill unarmed women with no outcry or repercussions.)

In addition to her majority stake in The Atlantic, she supposedly owns about 4% of disney per this from last september.
After her husband’s death, Jobs founded The Emerson Collective, an organization for social change, education, immigration reform and media advocacy. In 2017, the company bought a major stake in The Atlantic. Emerson Collective also has investments in production entities including Anonymous Content, Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine, Charles King’s Macro and Davis Guggenheim’s newly launched Concordia Studio. Powell Jobs is also believed to own shares that add up to about 4% of Disney.
emerson collective is where arne duncan went after leaving the ed dept.
It's getting worse. Now down to 25 yards visibility. But over the bridge onto mainland its all sun. Yet we golfers out there trying to figure out where their ball went and spending too much time looking for it:)
It must have been gut wrenching for her to do but Trandrea has apologized to Cruz for getting her "Sound and Fury" comment attributable to Faulkner instead of Shakespeare.
These days, both Macbeth and The Sound and the Fury would most likely be cancelled at "woke" public and private institutions of supposed learning. So I guess for this one time, Mitchell and Cruz have something in common (referring to dead old literature written by dead white men)!
Re the "trial": I am not following it. If I want to watch a show trial, I want to watch a film of a Red Chinese or Soviet show trial (if film exists of these trials). I want to watch the experts!
Pretty soon, I fear, our woke "elite" may become as expert at show trials as the Sovs were and Red Chinese still are. But they're not there quite yet.
The Problems Solvers Caucus met yesterday with former Speaker Paul Ryan (R) and former Majority Leader Dick Gephardt (D) — a powerful bipartisan duo — to discuss reconciliation.
Qanon is a group of people who claim to interpret the meaning of the cryptic clues published on 8chan by a mysterious figure called Q (and sometimes Q+).
Not all of them are nuts, not all believe the same things. I also think they have been infiltrated by leftists or bad actors in the intelligence agencies who gin up the nuttiest things they can conceive.
Most of them got banned from Twitter. I think that lurid definition on Wikipedia was probably written by the CIA or FBI, myself.
The pedophilia thing IS very real, however. As we all discussed the other day, there is far more of it than we conceived of, either due to being in blissful ignorance or because it has increased with the advent of the internet. Trump actually tweeted about it back in 2012, saying something about catching people who grabbed children. I am sure that contributed to the idea that he was on a mission to save the children.
However, things have gotten crazy and people are using numerology to predict and interpret events, and everything from JFK Jr. still being alive to aliens from Area 51 intervening in our government are now being included.
Melinda knows about some of this, too, so when there's a chance, maybe Mel can explain more.
I was listening to WBAP in DFW last night and they're not used to these conditions. One announcer referred to "trucks that put salt on the roads" as though it was something unfamiliar.
Will anyone ever mention that Antifa works for the democrats. Or maybe the democrats work for Antifa.
My understanding is that it is quite clear from the Time article that Antifa and BLM take their direction from their Leftist overlords, who finance them.
(I haven't bothered to read it---What could it say that we haven't known for years?? We saw BLM shut down completely after the six Dallas LEOs were killed in July 2016, basically not to be heard from again til 2020.)
That video Dave linked (for those who don't go to Twitter) showed the aftermath - cars overrun and crushed by semis, cars piled on top of one another, etc. Horrible.
In the comments the dispatch was quoted as referring to it as a mass casualty event, and emergency people were trying to extricate people from vehicles and making sure they found everybody.
If you aren't used to ice on roads (as daughter and I saw with that Georgia car last night) you can get yourself in trouble real quick. Horrible situation!
My experience in Ga is some of the worst offenders in these accidents ARE experienced in driving in snow and fail to realize that an ice packed surface CANNOT give traction anywhere. They think their experience with snowy roads transfers to icy roads because the worst storms tend to happen in the south and not regularly.
It is similar to your suv comment yesterday.
I always remember my RI college roommate, clearly experienced in snow, wondering under the ice clad limbs in college oblivious to the danger and talking about "how pretty it is." Later that night the weight completely uprooted a more than 100 year old campus oak.
The Gina Carano affair should disturb those on the right liberty side of the political spectrum, and it should disturb them a lot.
She didn't publish something that compared Republicans or conservatives to Jews under the Nazis. She linked a meme that noted everyday Germans, including children, persecuted Jews, not just soldiers and the SS. And it noted that a government that induces its people to hate others for their political opinions was a vital step on that road.
She also published one which depicts a bunch of rich white old men sitting around a Monopoly board setting atop the backs of a bunch of peons with the caption something like "Remember the game is over if we all stand up" or something similar. Now, the old guys were clearly supposed to be individuals, but I couldn't recognize any of them other than maybe George Soros. It's possible they were all supposed to be Jews and it was anti Semitic, but IDK. Nor is there any indication Gina Carano does. My reaction to it was it was a populist theme indicating a rich ruling class holding people down; a theme the left until just a few short years ago subscribed to themselves.
In any event it does not seem to have been the precipitating offense anyway, especially since the left is itself quite proudly anti Semitic, even if it is disingenuous about it. I suspect her greatest offense was not realizing old white billionaires running the world is a blessing is they're woke.
The fact is the left was not bothered that there was a Hollywood blacklist. They were bothered that they weren't the ones putting the names on the list. They were also upset that the blacklist didn't extend beyond Hollywood to the entire society.
Unless the Dems suffer a series of catastrophic political consequences over the next few election cycles that forces their return to that state of existence closest to sanity of a prog, which seems unlikely, the die is cast. The only thing that would permit or cause a series of catastrophic political setbacks for the Dems would be an invigorated and aggressive major opposition party probably combined with catastrophic economic and/or foreign enemy circumstances. The last two will eventuate but the first seems unlikely.
One slightly encouraging sign of how fast politics can change is the Republican party not even existing until 1854 and Lincoln being elected in 1860. However that encouragement is tempered by the fact that his election and the catastrophic reversal in fortunes of that day's Democrats still resulted in a massive civil war.
May it not come, but if the progs present us with the choice of tyranny or revolt, there will come a day when the Senators will be lucky if they can walk, run or waddle to safety.
You are probably right. SUV drivers who think they are impervious are pretty bad offenders. I saw further in the comments that apparently it started with a semi going way too fast for road conditions (similar to those SUV drivers in attitude, I imagine).
I haven't seen anything else yet, but I wonder if that was one of those flash ice incidents where everything is wet and a sudden temperature drop causes things to freeze up quickly.
How's all that globl warming working out for people? Northern Europe is sub-freezing.
They're even going to try to not run (Covid, after all) the long distance ice skating race in the Netherlands that hasn't run for 20+ years! Why, you might ask? Because it hasn't been cold enough in 20+ years, of course.
I wonder if the NYT will run a few more AGW stories this month.
The far-left Associated Press released a bombshell Thursday claiming that going as far back as June, the leaders of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project knew all about multiple sexual misconduct allegations against its cofounder, John Weaver. The report also exposes the mind-boggling fact that of the $90 million the left-wing group raised, “more than $50 million has gone to firms controlled by the group’s leaders.” https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/11/ap-says-lincoln-project-shielded-john-weaver-months-pocketed-millions/
The Chinese government has decided to ban BBC World News from airing all content in China after it found the British news organization "infringed on the principles of truthfulness and impartiality in journalism."
State-run media CGTN published a statement from the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television on their Weibo account detailing the rules BBC violated and how it "has been barred from airing in China."
Microsoft approached Pinterest in recent months about a potential deal to acquire the $51bn social media company popular with hobbyists posting home decor, food and wedding collages, people briefed on the matter said.
The talks were currently not active, said one of the people briefed. Microsoft has been pursuing an acquisition strategy aimed at amassing a portfolio of active online communities that could run on top of its cloud computing platform.
A video of a Senator running? That could only happen with the help of CGI. Dianne Feinstein is a nice old lady but at 88 her time in the 100 yard dash is measured in weeks--if not months.
Welp, it’s nothing like what a lot of you are dealing with, but we are getting our week of winter right now. 27 deg overnight and pretty stiff wind to force the convection cooling. That’s right where I designed the cut over point to the propane boiler, but I don’t think I’ll have to do that. Yesterday I checked and the inlet from the heat field was about 31 deg and the frost covered discharge was about 28. (That’s tied to a mile of pipe coiled in seven rows under our backyard.) The heat pump could still deliver 100 deg to the holding tank so the trick is to minimize the calls to extraneous zones like Jane’s guest house. Haven’t touched the 60 deg temp of the Garage Mahal yet.

Bolding mine. A lesson for antifa, BLM, and a lot of GOPe and media people.
So now Disney is getting pushback from fans. Good. I cancelled my subscription immediately after the last episode of Mandalorean. No value in watching the crap they have on for the most part. Star Wars and Marvel have burned out their franchises.
I think even Netflix and Amazon are going to have problems moving forward. My DVD player didn't survive the move so I went and got a new one. I have the stuff I really like and can't wait to start my own Chow Yun Fat or Kurosawa film festival. I have a lot of Bergman and French stuff too.
But they run a lot of filler on the pay channels and I don't see a lot of value.
I don't care about the trial or the video, since we already have seen that they doctored video. In normal times, this would be called "evidence tampering."

Re the "trial": I am not following it. If I want to watch a show trial, I want to watch a film of a Red Chinese or Soviet show trial (if film exists of these trials). I want to watch the experts!
Pretty soon, I fear, our woke "elite" may become as expert at show trials as the Sovs were and Red Chinese still are. But they're not there quite yet.

Jane,
Qanon is a group of people who claim to interpret the meaning of the cryptic clues published on 8chan by a mysterious figure called Q (and sometimes Q+).
Not all of them are nuts, not all believe the same things. I also think they have been infiltrated by leftists or bad actors in the intelligence agencies who gin up the nuttiest things they can conceive.
Most of them got banned from Twitter. I think that lurid definition on Wikipedia was probably written by the CIA or FBI, myself.
The pedophilia thing IS very real, however. As we all discussed the other day, there is far more of it than we conceived of, either due to being in blissful ignorance or because it has increased with the advent of the internet. Trump actually tweeted about it back in 2012, saying something about catching people who grabbed children. I am sure that contributed to the idea that he was on a mission to save the children.
However, things have gotten crazy and people are using numerology to predict and interpret events, and everything from JFK Jr. still being alive to aliens from Area 51 intervening in our government are now being included.
Melinda knows about some of this, too, so when there's a chance, maybe Mel can explain more.

I was listening to WBAP in DFW last night and they're not used to these conditions. One announcer referred to "trucks that put salt on the roads" as though it was something unfamiliar.

Will anyone ever mention that Antifa works for the democrats. Or maybe the democrats work for Antifa.
My understanding is that it is quite clear from the Time article that Antifa and BLM take their direction from their Leftist overlords, who finance them.
(I haven't bothered to read it---What could it say that we haven't known for years?? We saw BLM shut down completely after the six Dallas LEOs were killed in July 2016, basically not to be heard from again til 2020.)

Dave "One announcer referred to "trucks that put salt on the roads" as though it was something unfamiliar."
Wait till you tell him about tanker trucks spraying Pickle Juice on the roads before the storm arrives.
Posted by: Old Lurker | February 11, 2021 at 10:50 AM
That video Dave linked (for those who don't go to Twitter) showed the aftermath - cars overrun and crushed by semis, cars piled on top of one another, etc. Horrible.
In the comments the dispatch was quoted as referring to it as a mass casualty event, and emergency people were trying to extricate people from vehicles and making sure they found everybody.
If you aren't used to ice on roads (as daughter and I saw with that Georgia car last night) you can get yourself in trouble real quick. Horrible situation!

MM--
My experience in Ga is some of the worst offenders in these accidents ARE experienced in driving in snow and fail to realize that an ice packed surface CANNOT give traction anywhere. They think their experience with snowy roads transfers to icy roads because the worst storms tend to happen in the south and not regularly.
It is similar to your suv comment yesterday.
I always remember my RI college roommate, clearly experienced in snow, wondering under the ice clad limbs in college oblivious to the danger and talking about "how pretty it is." Later that night the weight completely uprooted a more than 100 year old campus oak.
It wasn't so pretty after that.

The Gina Carano affair should disturb those on the
rightliberty side of the political spectrum, and it should disturb them a lot.She didn't publish something that compared Republicans or conservatives to Jews under the Nazis. She linked a meme that noted everyday Germans, including children, persecuted Jews, not just soldiers and the SS. And it noted that a government that induces its people to hate others for their political opinions was a vital step on that road.
She also published one which depicts a bunch of rich white old men sitting around a Monopoly board setting atop the backs of a bunch of peons with the caption something like "Remember the game is over if we all stand up" or something similar. Now, the old guys were clearly supposed to be individuals, but I couldn't recognize any of them other than maybe George Soros. It's possible they were all supposed to be Jews and it was anti Semitic, but IDK. Nor is there any indication Gina Carano does. My reaction to it was it was a populist theme indicating a rich ruling class holding people down; a theme the left until just a few short years ago subscribed to themselves.
In any event it does not seem to have been the precipitating offense anyway, especially since the left is itself quite proudly anti Semitic, even if it is disingenuous about it. I suspect her greatest offense was not realizing old white billionaires running the world is a blessing is they're woke.
The fact is the left was not bothered that there was a Hollywood blacklist. They were bothered that they weren't the ones putting the names on the list. They were also upset that the blacklist didn't extend beyond Hollywood to the entire society.
Unless the Dems suffer a series of catastrophic political consequences over the next few election cycles that forces their return to that state of existence closest to sanity of a prog, which seems unlikely, the die is cast. The only thing that would permit or cause a series of catastrophic political setbacks for the Dems would be an invigorated and aggressive major opposition party probably combined with catastrophic economic and/or foreign enemy circumstances. The last two will eventuate but the first seems unlikely.
One slightly encouraging sign of how fast politics can change is the Republican party not even existing until 1854 and Lincoln being elected in 1860. However that encouragement is tempered by the fact that his election and the catastrophic reversal in fortunes of that day's Democrats still resulted in a massive civil war.
May it not come, but if the progs present us with the choice of tyranny or revolt, there will come a day when the Senators will be lucky if they can walk, run or waddle to safety.

rse,
You are probably right. SUV drivers who think they are impervious are pretty bad offenders. I saw further in the comments that apparently it started with a semi going way too fast for road conditions (similar to those SUV drivers in attitude, I imagine).
I haven't seen anything else yet, but I wonder if that was one of those flash ice incidents where everything is wet and a sudden temperature drop causes things to freeze up quickly.
Posted by: MissMarple2 | February 11, 2021 at 11:19 AM
How's all that globl warming working out for people? Northern Europe is sub-freezing.
They're even going to try to not run (Covid, after all) the long distance ice skating race in the Netherlands that hasn't run for 20+ years! Why, you might ask? Because it hasn't been cold enough in 20+ years, of course.
I wonder if the NYT will run a few more AGW stories this month.

The far-left Associated Press released a bombshell Thursday claiming that going as far back as June, the leaders of the anti-Trump Lincoln Project knew all about multiple sexual misconduct allegations against its cofounder, John Weaver. The report also exposes the mind-boggling fact that of the $90 million the left-wing group raised, “more than $50 million has gone to firms controlled by the group’s leaders.”

BBC World News Banned From Airing In China
The Chinese government has decided to ban BBC World News from airing all content in China after it found the British news organization "infringed on the principles of truthfulness and impartiality in journalism."
State-run media CGTN published a statement from the State Administration of Radio, Film, and Television on their Weibo account detailing the rules BBC violated and how it "has been barred from airing in China."

Microsoft approached Pinterest in recent months about a potential deal to acquire the $51bn social media company popular with hobbyists posting home decor, food and wedding collages, people briefed on the matter said.
The talks were currently not active, said one of the people briefed. Microsoft has been pursuing an acquisition strategy aimed at amassing a portfolio of active online communities that could run on top of its cloud computing platform.

Welp, it’s nothing like what a lot of you are dealing with, but we are getting our week of winter right now. 27 deg overnight and pretty stiff wind to force the convection cooling. That’s right where I designed the cut over point to the propane boiler, but I don’t think I’ll have to do that. Yesterday I checked and the inlet from the heat field was about 31 deg and the frost covered discharge was about 28. (That’s tied to a mile of pipe coiled in seven rows under our backyard.) The heat pump could still deliver 100 deg to the holding tank so the trick is to minimize the calls to extraneous zones like Jane’s guest house. Haven’t touched the 60 deg temp of the Garage Mahal yet.
Might break out a quilt to cover the Navajo blanket we normally sleep under.

So now Disney is getting pushback from fans. Good. I cancelled my subscription immediately after the last episode of Mandalorean. No value in watching the crap they have on for the most part. Star Wars and Marvel have burned out their franchises.
I think even Netflix and Amazon are going to have problems moving forward. My DVD player didn't survive the move so I went and got a new one. I have the stuff I really like and can't wait to start my own Chow Yun Fat or Kurosawa film festival. I have a lot of Bergman and French stuff too.
But they run a lot of filler on the pay channels and I don't see a lot of value.
