Um… the white patriarchy can die in a non-violent revolution.

But, then, if we don’t turn every damn conversation into a binary “sides” thing, we can’t really have a conversation, can we?

Apparently, the Night King is also the Lich King now… because he just raised Sindragosa.

Bannon isn’t gone.

His move back to Breitbart was coordinated in Wed and Thurs.

He was back at work at Breitbart on Fri eve.

Trump needed an external attack vector to hammer “disloyal Republicans”

Saw this. Was BEYOND not amused.

All the more reason to move north.

It’s either gonna be Day After Tomorrow or Northern Mexico.

We’ll see. It may be both… get super hot and desalinization will then cause a huge snapback.

Models are all over the place, although none of them show Sunny and 78 degrees…

The hypocrisy comes from the White Nationalists.

I mean, they claim to be fostering hate…for America.

And yet, their only digital refuge is… Russia.

That’s one of their hypocrisies.

It’s so time for a progressive party that it’s not even funny.

Also, one thing. It may seem small, but it’s important.

It wasn’t just “two gunshots”. Iirc, it was two gunshots to the back of the head.

That makes a BIG difference. Many people might infer he was shot in the chest or back or any number of places.

But the placement of two to the back of the head is an execution. Now, was it because he put up a fight or for more nefarious reasons?

I have no idea.

My take, WV, is…AND.

I think the Russians have (yes, present tense) multiple digital vectors into our country’s government and private sector infrastructures.

I also think that Seth Rich was the source of the emails.

I think no matter what the disposition of Rich, Trump et al were going to create a story about Rich’s death that would connect the Clintons.

I’m always leery of commenting on Clinton stuff anymore because she’s just so fucking dishonest and there are so many instances that she and Bill are either the single most persecuted couple of all time OR… some of the stuff is true. What’s difficult about that is that if even ONE thing against them is true (I mean the rape allegations against Bill by Juanita Broderick and others, White Water (remember, it’s not so much that they weren’t guilty as those who could tell the truth went to jail rather than implicate their partners), Hillary Clinton stock trades (actually, those were true, but she couldn’t be prosecuted because her broker went to jail rather than implicate her… a consistency I find troubling) and others.

The thing about these conspiracies like Vince Foster and Seth Rich is that there are ALWAYS some really henky details that just can’t be explained away.

In the Foster case, the idea of an officer of the court (Hillary) trampling a crime scene in order to recover files before the examiner can even get to the body? At best, it’s a stunning level of sociopathy, as in my files are more important than allowing the examiner to get to the body. I dunno the scene, but you can’t tell it’s suicide just because a person has a bullet hole in their head and there’s a gun around. And it’s not like Hillary was doing GSR tests, so she had no ability to determine whether Foster committed suicide or was murdered. In the absence of that knowledge, even if presuming suicide was reasonable, why would an officer of the court who knows the rules of evidence hamper the investigation into his death by altering the scene.

I mean even if she’s given the benefit of the doubt, it’s not good. At all. And of course, at worst, it’s everything the conspiracy theorists imagine.

Same with Rich. Apparently, he was shot in the back of the head and nothing was taken. Help did not arrive so quickly that a thief would have been interrupted. So, details of his death are sketchy. That he is likely the source of the emails to wikileaks is another factor.

So, it’s either that it was the oddest burglary or something wasn’t right.

That’s why I say with Clinton that one can never know. In instances where they were absolutely guilty, they were unprosecutable because others went to jail rather than implicate them. Without her stockbroker going to jail for her, Hillary totally goes to jail for stock fraud. That’s not conjecture.

So, when all of this came out, I saw liberals screaming about Russia.

I saw progressives dismissing the “Russia distraction” and some actually embracing the Rich story, which seemed to align progressives with Trumpettes…

I just see it as likely an AND.

Russia hacked. (The disturbing thing is that we have white hat hackers who have proven that the machines can be hacked and recent elections like the Ossoff election in Georgia’s 6th District had some disturbing anamolies that can’t really be explained outside of machine hacking)

AND.

Seth Rich transferred the emails to wikileaks (there is evidence that he was disenfranchised with what was going on in the Clinton campaign)

AND.

Because of a history of dubious activities by the Clintons, we’ll never know why Seth Rich was killed. Botched burglary? Assassination? Political payback? Who knows? I tend to think of these questions as Rohrshach tests, they tell more about the person answering than give any real answer to the question.

I don’t think it serves progressives to dismiss the Russia hacking which is ongoing and poised to be even worse as the relationship between Trump and Putin sours. Russia hacking us and Seth Rich being the source of the Clinton emails can happily coexist.

The Modern World comics are like Idiocracy in that I laugh and become depressed all at the same time.

What’s scary is there is a greater coherency in the satire than in reality.

Weird times.
