[Zero] As rumors swirl that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is preparing a case against Russians who are alleged to have hacked Democrats during the 2016 election - a conclusion based solely on the analysis of cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike, a Friday op-ed in the Washington Times by retired U.S. Navy admiral James A. Lyons, Jr. asks a simple, yet monumentally significant question: Why haven't Congressional Investigators or Special Counsel Robert Mueller addressed the murder of DNC staffer Seth Rich - who multiple people have claimed was Wikileaks' source of emails leaked during the 2016 U.S. presidential election?
Mueller has been incredibly thorough in his ongoing investigations - however he won't even respond to Kim Dotcom, the New Zealand entrepreneur who clearly knew about the hacked emails long before they were released, claims that Seth Rich obtained them with a memory stick, and has offered to provide proof to the Special Counsel investigation.

kim dotcom was convicted of copyright infringement, money laundering and various other stuff and is subject to extradition. He has a long career of sketchy business practice, some of which is criminal.
That is why he wants immunity in exchange for 'information he has'.

The Justice Department already knows.
The "secure" Wikileaks dropbox used by Seith Rich to deposit the copied emails was under surveillance at the time.
AG Sessions must have a good reason for appearing weak. I can't wait to learn what that reason is.

That's Whataboutism. Did Seth Rich send his leaks to Dropbox? Or was it Russians? Why did the FBI give immunity to so many of Hillary's proles without anything in return? Why is this fat guy even involved?
I don't know if Hillary Clinton had people killed. But I worry that she had people killed. That's a legitimate issue.

This has nothing to do with the government or any legal finding, according to the article. Someone started a GoFundMe for thr victims, and in the end they got so many donations that it was turned into a proper nonprofit organization that will now start cashing out, as originally intended. The justice system will make whatever ruling they make, and perhaps the city of Las Vegas and/or the hotel will settle with the victims and their families whenever that happens; but in the meantime, the generosity of Americans will bring some measure of comfort to the bereaved.
M*A*S*H actor David Ogden Stiers has passed away at the age of 75 following a battle with bladder cancer.
The Emmy nominated actor died peacefully at his home in Newport, Oregon on Saturday, his agent Mitchell K. Stubbs announced on Twitter on Saturday.
'I am very sad to report that David died this morning March 3, 2018 peacefully at his home in Newport, Oregon after a courageous battle with bladder cancer. His talent was only surpassed by his heart,' read the message.
[All Africa] Kenyatta National Hospital chief executive and her deputy, the Director of Clinical Services, were sent on compulsory leave to allow investigations into a surgery mix up.
Health CS Sicily Kariuki made the announcement to send home Ms Lily Koros and her deputy, Dr Bernard Githae, on Friday following public uproar raised by the surgery saga broken by the Nation.
On Thursday evening, Ms Koros had suspended four medical staff, including a neurosurgeon, who performed a head surgery on a wrong patient. Certainly looked like the right fellow, but you know what they say.
Speaking at the referral facility on Friday evening, Ms Kariuki said that the compulsory leave was meant to pave way for further investigations on how the error occurred.
'Medical Malpractice'
"The information so far available to me points to a possible case of serious medical malpractice or a medical error due to non-adherence to patient safety protocols at this hospital, an equally serious matter," said Ms Kariuki while announcing the dismissal of the two officials.
After further consultation with a source privy to the matter, the Nation can exclusively report that it is believed the error emanated from tagging of patients as names of the two, who were coincidentally unconscious at the time of admission and operation, are identical.
"That such an incident can occur at our biggest referral and teaching hospital is totally unacceptable especially coming soon after other reported cases touching on patient safety in the last one month," added Ms Kariuki.
She went ahead to ask the management board to conduct investigations and table a report before the end of next week.
"I have also asked them bring in external auditors to audit patient safety and report back with their findings. It is not going to be business as usual," she said.

[All Africa] Last week, at least 72 people were killed in renewed fighting between ethnic groups in eastern Congo, days after festivities between the armies of DRC and Rwanda on their common border.
Radio Okapi, owned and run by the UN Observer Mission in DRC, Monusco, reported that the ethnic festivities in Rutshuru in North Kivu, where at least 23 people died, pitted Congolese tribes of the Hunde and Nande on one side and groups of Hutus of Rwandan origin, mainly members of the Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR).
FDLR rebels have operated in eastern DRC for 23 years, with majority of the senior members accused of taking part in the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsis. The rebels often clash with Congolese ethnic groups who want them out of Congo.
North Kivu Governor Julien Paluku, said; "We are still ascertaining the number of people killed but so far 23 people, including the members of the militia, have been confirmed dead. Calm has been restored since Wednesday."
According to international Catholic charity Caritas, another 49 people were killed in fresh in ethnic festivities between the Lendu and Hema in Ituri.
The violence in the eastern Ituri region has left over 100 people dead since mid-December.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] A social media controversy has been raised after Emirati singer Ahlam al Shamsi called on Twitter not to pray for mercy upon Indian Bollywood star Sridevi Kapoor after her death in Dubai.
The 49-year-old tweeted after the death of Sridevi, that it is not right to pray for mercy upon a non-Moslem irrespective of the good they have presented or not.
Saudi Islamic Scholar Sheikh Ahmed al-Ghamdi, however, has refuted the claim by the Emirati singer.
He said that as per the Holy Koran praying for mercy for non-Moslems living or dead is permissible.
Sheikh al-Ghamdi added that there is a distinct difference between praying for mercy or forgiveness.
He said that according to Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) praying for forgiveness for non-believers is forbidden.
"The Prophet (PTUI!) forbade praying to God for forgiveness of his own mother, according to the Saheeh Moslem hadeeth however it only forbade praying for forgiveness and not praying for mercy upon a non-Moslem," Sheikh al-Ghamdi said.
He told Al Arabiya that the exchange of accusations because of the issue of praying for mercy for non-Moslems has been blown up for no reason and that he was surprised people are preoccupied with such an issue.

[ConservativeTreehouse] President Trump will pull the U.S. out of NAFTA and direct the U.S. Trade Representative to engage in bilateral trade deals with Canada and Mexico individually. There is no other possible alternative and here’s why.
First, the essential problem with NAFTA was an evolution over time. In its current form NAFTA became an exploited doorway into the coveted U.S. market. Asian economic interests, large multinational corporations, invested in Mexico and Canada as a way to work around any direct trade deals with the U.S.
By shipping parts to Mexico and/or Canada; and by deploying satellite manufacturing and assembly facilities in Canada and/or Mexico; China, Asia and to a lesser extent EU corporations exploited a loophole. Through a process of building, assembling or manufacturing their products in Mexico/Canada those foreign corporations can skirt U.S. trade tariffs and direct U.S. trade agreements. The finished foreign products entered the U.S. under NAFTA rules.
Why deal with the U.S. when you can just deal with Mexico, and use NAFTA rules to ship your product directly into the U.S. market?
This exploitative approach, a backdoor to the U.S. market, was the primary reason for massive foreign investment in Canada and Mexico; it was also the primary reason why candidate Donald Trump, now President Donald Trump, wanted to shut down that loophole and renegotiate NAFTA.
This loophole was the primary reason for U.S. manufacturers to relocate operations to Mexico. Corporations within the U.S. Auto-Sector could enhance profits by building in Mexico or Canada using parts imported from Asia/China. The labor factor was not as big a part of the overall cost consideration as cheaper parts and imported raw materials.

If that had helped Mexico become first world it would have been worth it, but instead it helped a number of Mexican elites become super-wealthy while the rest continued in poverty.

The whole EPA / carbon tax regime combined with "free trade" is basically a method to "preferentially" deindustrialize the US and pretend they're saving the planet while we get subjugated to the likes of Putin and Xi Jinping.
At the moment, there's not really such a thing as Communism or Capitalism as distinct entities. There's only Competent Merchantilism and Incompetent Merchantilism. Western Leftism is simply a way to keep us in the latter category. So to a lesser extent is the Republican party.
[NYT] WASHINGTON ‐ George Nader, a Lebanese-American businessman, has hovered on the fringes of international diplomacy for three decades. He was a back-channel negotiator with Syria during the Clinton administration, reinvented himself as an adviser to the de facto ruler of the United Arab Emirates, and last year was a frequent visitor to President Trump’s White House.
Mr. Nader is now a focus of the investigation by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel. In recent weeks, Mr. Mueller’s investigators have questioned Mr. Nader and have pressed witnesses for information about any possible attempts by the Emiratis to buy political influence by directing money to support Mr. Trump during the presidential campaign, according to people with knowledge of the discussions.
The investigators have also asked about Mr. Nader’s role in White House policymaking, those people said, suggesting that the special counsel investigation has broadened beyond Russian election meddling to include Emirati influence on the Trump administration. The focus on Mr. Nader could also prompt an examination of how money from multiple countries has flowed through and influenced Washington during the Trump era.
How much this line of inquiry is connected to Mr. Mueller’s original task of investigating contacts between Mr. Trump’s campaign and Russia is unclear. The examination of the U.A.E. comes amid a flurry of recent activity by Mr. Mueller.

Face it, Mueller is going to keep going until he finds something - anything - to pin on Trump. His goal is to remove Trump. If it takes him until 2025, he is not going to stop.

I think the Mueller probe has now reached the theater of the absurd.
How much further to the fringes of common sense does he have to go before Sessions pulls the plug on this nonsense. He already has his Scooter Libby in Flynn...oops no wait the FBI faked their 302's on their interview...well he has to find someone to prosecute from inside the WH.
When a judge throws out the FISA warrants, Mueller will have nothing to go on. Everything he has running now is poisoned fruit.

It is true the Mueller investigation has been all over the map with scant result other than indicting some Russian nationals for being Internet trolls. But if he can finally determine what happened to Amelia Earhart, then more power to him.
[DAWN] FAISALABAD: The nurses of the district headquarters (DHQ) hospital on Friday held a protest demonstration against a ward boy who allegedly attempted to sexually assault one of their colleagues.
The security guards and ward boys of the DHQ hospital subjected the news hounds and cameramen to torture and injured four of them for covering the protest.
The nurses claimed that the ward boy tried to assault their fellow nurse when she was alone in a room. The victim informed her colleagues about the incident and they suspended their services in all the wards. The nurses and ward boys also exchanged harsh words and some of the nurses subjected the suspect to torture and tried to blacken his face. However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... their attempt was foiled by his colleagues. The ward boys also refused to perform their duties in solidarity with their colleague.
Deputy Commissioner Salman Ghani took notice of the incident and formed an eight-member committee under the additional deputy commissioner (headquarters) to probe the matter and submit its report within 24 hours.

[DAWN] A girl died and another was injured in the early hours of Saturday after an enraged man fired aerial shots upon discovering his apartment was being used for a party in the Bahria Town housing society in Rawalpindi.
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Civil Lines Kazim Naqvi talking to DawnNews, revealed that the apartment owner, Nadir, who owns a car showroom on Committee Chowk, had returned to his flat in Bahria Town's Safari Villas One early in the morning. Upon seeing two boys and two girls occupying the apartment, he "could not contain his anger" and had gun sex.
The DSP informed that out of fear, the two girls, Bisma and Shimla, jumped out of the window of the fifth-storey apartment. Bisma died on the sport while Shimla suffered from a broken leg.
He added that police reached the apartment and tossed in the clink You have the right to remain silent... Nadir and recovered the weapon used. The police also arrested an accomplice, Zulqarnain.
Two other accomplices ‐ Shiraz, who had given the youngsters access to the apartment, and Azan ‐ managed to flee.
"A postmortem examination of the dead girl will be carried out which will uncover the cause of death," he said, adding that the injured girl's statement will also be recorded.
"The girls' families have been notified and a case will be registered," he said.

[All Africa] A team of United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... Sherlocks has said it will resume its review of Rwanda's implementation of anti-torture policies.
The UN Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture (SPT) had cut short its mission in the country last October citing obstruction by the government and fears of reprisal on interviewees.
Kigali faulted the move saying it was in bad faith and that it would "consider its options in respect of the Optional Protocol."
Rwanda is among 87 states that voluntarily ratified the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture.
The SPT makes regular visits to the states to monitor and advise on how countries "can ensure that detained persons are free from torture and ill-treatment and have decent conditions of detention."
The Sherlocks visit prisons, cop shoppes, detention centres for migrants colonists and juveniles, interrogation facilities and psychiatric hospitals.

[Miami Herald via PJ] The State Department announced that the cuts made to embassy staff in Havana after strange and unexplained "sonic attacks" sickened diplomats and their families will become permanent. Cicada? No, that's a symptom not a cause.
But the attacks themselves remain a mystery. However, a team of computer research scientists at the University of Michigan may have an explanation: malfunctioning surveillance equipment.
Miami Herald:
Professor Kevin Fu and members of the Security and Privacy Research Group at the University of Michigan say they have an explanation for what could have happened in Havana: two sources of ultrasound ‐ such as listening devices ‐ placed too close together could generate interference and provoke the intense sounds described by the victims.

I've re-read the article twice, but I'm thinking it was our own counter surveillance equipment. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the anomaly was limited to just a few rooms or offices of the building itself.

Perhaps the TDYers were issued defective devices upon arrival. Who knows, refer it to the Rantburg DARPA branch for further investigation. Sonic sufferers can be referred to the VA. That should deflect the onerous whining and delay costly medical payouts.
