[End of The American Dream] Can this possibly be legal? Somebody apparently thinks so, because copies of the Mueller report are being offered for sale online right now, and according to the pre-order announcement the release date is going to be "March 26". As a former attorney, I have no idea how anyone can legally do this. As I have documented previously, when Mueller is done with his report he is supposed to submit it to Attorney General William Barr, and then it will be up to Barr to determine how much of the report, if any, will be made available to the public. I suppose that it is possible that Barr has already agreed to release the full report to the public at the end of this month, but I find it difficult to believe that it would have been kept so quiet. To me, something is not right about all of this.
Earlier today, I was shocked to hear that the Mueller Report was being offered for sale online, and so I decided to check it out for myself.
So has Dershowitz already seen the report? If not, did he write his introduction without access to it?
And as I noted earlier, a March 26th release date is listed for this report. That is a major bombshell, because it appears to confirm that the Mueller Report is officially coming out this month.

It looks official. So it must be real. And if it's a hoax, the MSM will be quoting from it for the next 72 months at least as if it was a recently found gnostic gospel...

I bought one online. When I opened the box there was a pile of shit wrapped with lies laying on a copy of the constitution.
[Forbes] The slew of retail earnings continued this afternoon with Ross Stores and Urban Outfitters reporting fourth quarter earnings.
Retail chain Urban Outfitters, which opened five new locations last year, said it ended its fourth quarter with earnings per share of $0.80, beating analyst expectations of $0.79. The Philadelphia-based company reported $1.13 billion in sales, a slight increase from last year's fourth quarter.
"The fourth quarter closed what was an incredibly successful year for URBN and all of our brands," said CEO Richard A. Hayne.
Discount retailer, Ross Stores, with more than 1,400 stores nationwide, reported fourth quarter earnings per share of $1.20, beating analyst expectations of $1.12 expectation. Ross reported revenue of $4.1 billion with comparable store sales up 4% over the 13 weeks ended February 3, 2018.
"We achieved these results despite our own challenging multi-year comparisons and weakness in our Ladies apparel business during the holiday season," said CEO Barbara Rentler.
Shares of Ross are down 2% in after-hours trading. Urban Outfitters shares are up over 2%.
[Alphanews] James Clapper, the former director of national intelligence, said President Donald Trump never stood a chance of reaching a denuclearization deal during last week’s talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
"From both a process and a substance standpoint, I think the summit was doomed from the get-go," Clapper, now a CNN analyst, told the network Tuesday of the Trump-Kim meeting in Hanoi, Vietnam.
A key problem, Clapper said, was that the U.S. and North Korea haven’t agreed on the meaning of denuclearization and what would entail for Kim’s regime.
Further, Clapper said, it appeared that aides to the two leaders prepared nothing ahead of time for an agreement, making the summit little more than a round of negotiations rather than a deal-making occasion.
"I think just a lack of preparation, or a combination of that and perhaps the president’s hubris ― he thought he could charm King Jong Un into agreeing to anything and it isn’t sufficient for us simply to demand that the North Koreans denuclearize when the only apparent promise is we’ll be less coercive," Clapper said.

Legitimate comments from the original thread, except g(r)omgoru’s cris d’coeur about spam trolls:

This assessment coming from Clapper, absolutely shocking.

#4 Not a deep thinker if you don't understand its all about strategy not about the 'show'. Or as someone else has written 'plots within plots'.
What did Kim come away with? Nothing, even though his game was thinking that Trump had to sign of do something. He didn't. That gambit didn't work.
Look around Kim. It's a commie authoritarian state in Vietnam. They're doing business with the US and are far more prosperous than North Korea and don't have a bomb.

Fascinating. They seem to still be commenting on an article that is not there. The internet is much more magical than it appears to the ignorant eye.
Ah well, at least we don’t have to see them crowding out legitimate commentary.
This isn't Albert in his folk's basement, this is a formal, automated Computer Network Attack (CNA) I suspect we'll see more of it, not less.

There is a note in to Fred and badonov noting both the original IP and the IP range, Besoeker. Clever if you to try removing the article URL and text — I’d never thought of that. And once you did, the next step was obviousl :-)
As far as I am aware, only those two can block IPs, Raj. So it will likely be done some time tonight.

Someone didn't care for the article? A network or rather article denial? A denial test? It's beyond my very limited and dated network knowledge. Fred or Badanov will have more insights. In all the years I've been coming here, this was the first one of this magnitude I've seen.
It had the desired effect. We took down the article and it spooked others from commenting.
#10
why would someone do a formal, automated computer network attack here and on that article?
Purely coincidence, I'm sure, that an article slagging Clappy triggers an attack.
I'm so old that I remember when these guys spent their time trying to overthrow South American countries.
I forget where I saw it, but someone suggested the reason there was no (visible) progress in the summit, was because Pudge had to take the proposal back home to run it by the generals that keep him in power. Sounds plausible to me.
[Babylon Bee] U.S.‐Uncontrollable wailing could be heard across the land Tuesday as American Republicans from coast to coast wept bitterly upon learning that Hillary Clinton had finally announced that she will not be running for president in 2020, multiple sources confirmed.
"Please, God, let it not be true!" one sobbing Detroit man told reporters, explaining in between sniffles that a Trump vs. Clinton rematch would not only be a guaranteed victory for the president and embarrassment for the Democrats, but a spectacle of entertainment the likes of which the world has never seen.
"No more ’hot sauce’? No more 'WHY AREN'T I FIFTY POINTS AHEAD?' No more ’I’m just chillin’? No more ’you’d be in jail’? This can't be happening! Nooooooooo!"
Reporters tried to interview another conservative from California but were unsuccessful, as he was too busy screaming at the sky.
At publishing time, Democrats across the nation were seen embracing, dancing, and high-fiving.

The satirical Pub weeping is premature. According to the Gateway Pundit, Hillary Clinton is [already] back tracking on her comments that she’s not running for president, leaving the door wide open for a 3rd run at the White House.
Thomas Sowell, a living legend in the field of economics, says he fears the U.S. may eventually succumb to the siren song of socialism.
The author of “Basic Economics,” “The Vision of the Anointed,” “The Quest for Cosmic Justice” and numerous other books said the U.S. may very well go down a path of financial ruin due to “wonderful-sounding” rhetoric.
Mr. Sowell, a Marxist in his youth, made the remarks Tuesday while appearing with Fox Business Network’s David Asman.
“I do have a great fear that, in the long run, we may not make it,” Mr. Sowell said. “I hate to say that. The one thing that keeps me from being despairing is that we don’t know. There are so many things that we can’t possibly know. And so, we may make it, but I wouldn’t bet on it.”
The author said that time and time again, people adopt willful ignorance regarding socialism’s track record around the world.
“So many people today, including in the leading universities, don’t pay much attention to evidence,” he said. “When you see people starving in Venezuela and fleeing into neighboring countries and realize that this is a country that once had the world’s largest oil reserves, you realize that they’ve ruined a very good prospect with ideas that sounded good but didn’t turn out well.
“These so-called exceptions [to socialism failing] are almost universal on every continent among people of every race, color, creed and whatever,” he continued.
The latest edition of Mr. Sowell’s “Discrimination and Disparities” is in stores and available online.
There's a bunch of sadistic megalomaniacs who promise to create a (vaguely defined) perfect world if only we blindly trust them by giving them absolute power over us.
This proposition does sound insane, not 'wonderful.'

[VictoryGirls] Ever since the 2016 election, the worship of an old, white, messy-haired man has become en vogue among the young, hip socialists. No, they aren’t genuflecting at the altar of Karl Marx, although my educated guess would be that half of them have a shrine to the worthless, freeloading, adulterous pud in their parents’ basements. Bernie Sanders is their socialist of choice, although if you want to be technical, they worship the almighty state, with Bernie just the crazy-looking personification thereof.
And then came the rise of the 29 year-old bartender with no economic sense, no experience in public policy, and an ego far surpasses her actual skills and knowledge and who got elected by blathering, wide-eyed, self-aggrandizing, snotty cognoscenti, who consider themselves much more educated and worldly than the rest of us blue-collar types who think that working for a living and increasing your own value ‐ whether to your employer or to your customer ‐ is the only moral way to advance in life.
How bourgeois and uncouth!
When did everyone become socialist? That’s the question the New Yorker magazine posed recently to its readers as it worked to transform the culture of indolence, entitlement, and state-worship into a cool, hip movement of educated, self-aware young people who are finding one another and creating a political powerhouse in this country.
...The problem is these ignorant children have no actual understanding of socialism, what it means, how it destroys societies, and how it erodes individual freedoms. They don’t know history. They think that socialism in its historical sense simply wasn’t implemented correctly, and that a planned economy is all there is to this destructive ideology ‐ an economy run by government bureaucrats ‐ but only bureaucrats of their choosing, of course!
They have no firsthand knowledge of privation, starvation, and government force, because they’ve grown up in the best of privileged societies, wanting for nothing.
They think Venezuela and the former USSR are nothing but anomalies that implemented socialism incorrectly instead of the logical conclusion to their socialist dreams.
The concept of individual rights is their kryptonite.
"What, you don’t think doctors will get paid, or something? Health care is a right, you know," said one snotty socialist in a social media discussion, when I informed them that anything that obligates another person to use their skills and abilities to provide a service to another at the point of a government gun is not a "right."
Worse yet, these naive, immature, blase little shits, who have never seen a world outside their soon-to-fail socialist coffee house, are pushing a philosophy they have never actually experienced, because they like to come across as caring and unselfish even as they accuse you of being selfish, hateful, bigoted, and misogynistic. The Barbarians are at the gates
[PJ] Let's start by stipulating that not every newcomer to America is a violent criminal bringing old ethnic and religious conflicts to the New World; nor is he a predatory opportunist, happy to take advantage of the stable, trusting, and yes, welcoming culture he finds. Every country has its social customs and unwritten rules, and often newcomers misinterpret them as weakness.
When the Catholic Irish arrived in large number from the middle of the 19th century on, they brought with them a deep suspicion of the police, a distrust of the Protestant ascendancy, and a pent-up willingness to work the system to their advantage -- cultural survival skills they had learned during nearly a millennium of English occupation of their home country. It took them more than a full century to fully integrate into American society. Swaths of American cities, especially New York, had Irish no-go zones, into which even the Irish cops feared to tread, and even today we remember the names of the psychopath Mad Dog Coll and the suave but violent Owney Madden, chief of the Gopher Gang, who gave the world Mae West, Primo Carnera, the Cotton Club and Bill Clinton.
Similarly, the immigrant Jews from Russia and the Pale went through a short but violent gangster period (Monk Eastman, Lepke, Meyer Lansky, Benny Siegel), culminating, along with newly arrived Italians, as the triggermen for Murder, Inc. And the Sicilian contribution to urban mayhem has been well documented in print, stage, and screen.
That's largely in the past now: nobody fears a pack of Irish boys, unless they're drunk and it's St. Patrick's Day in Manhattan, or the Jewish kids studying at the yeshiva, or the Italian lawyers, chefs, and movie directors. But neither were any of these groups particularly welcomed upon arrival; instead, they were seen as cannon fodder for the Civil War, merchants, laborers, and settlers as America pushed west toward its Manifest Destiny.

Repatriation does solve a number of different problems, doesn't it? Wonder if it works on Mexicans?

I believe that most of the current illegals are from beyond Mexico, Old Patriot. I’ve been eading that Mexico’s economy has improved enough that Mexicans here illegally were actually returning home over the past few years because there were better opportunities coupled with the reduced risk because they are legal residents at home.
[End of the Dream] I know that the title of this article is controversial, but the scientific research that has been done in this area inevitably leads us to some conclusions that are inescapable. Our current cell phone technology produces electromagnetic radiation that damages male fertility, and the radiation produced by the new 5G technology will be much more powerful and therefore much more dangerous. But most people don’t know about this. Instead, most people are greatly looking forward to the rollout of 5G technology because it will be up to 100 times faster than our current 4G technology, and who wouldn’t want that?
The big cell phone companies will be spending hundreds of billions of dollars to install hundreds of thousands of new 5G antennas, and every single one of those antennas will be constantly emitting very powerful electromagnetic radiation. Since we can’t see the radiation, to many people the threat does not seem real, but the truth is that if you live in a major urban area you are constantly being bombarded by it. And once the new 5G network is completely rolled out, you would literally have to live in the middle of nowhere to get away from it completely.

Low intensity electromagnetic fields are already being used -- on the scalp, no less, for research into various mental ailments. Some of the experiments are roughly like moving a small powerful handheld magnet across your scalp. These are related to measurable behavioral outcomes.

Living under water might work as well, just don't come up for any reason.
there are probably many causes (tight underwear, overheated electric blankets, agrichemicals in food, chemical additives in processed foods, increased use of anti bacterial agents, etc.) but RFID is likely to be a rather minor cause

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
