Chapter(s) something idk??

So I was right. It was Nyx.

I am all for people changing and giving people second chances to be a better person . But -and I'll die on this hill- Luke castellan did not become a great person in the end. Like this 23 year old dude seriously decided to die admitting feelings for a 16 year old girl he knew (and was a guardian kind off for) since he was 14! Thats creepy af. I honestly could've forgiven luke if didn't do that in the end. Like sure he changed sides on the last minute but he did nothing about his grooming behavior and decided to continue with it. When I first read the book (I was 11 I think) I didn't realize luke was admitting feelings but ever since I did *criminal offensiveside eye*

There are some bits in this book where the concept was nice but could have been written better and some bits that where written very well.

Will being attracted to persephone. Seriously will? You bf stepmother of all people? I get the aspect of her being the most alive thing he is seeing in the underworld. But still . Nico's step mom. Awkward. But then the conversation they had was really sweet and also ARO PEOPLE GOT MENTIONED?!?!?!

I am not really reading many posts about this book atm but I already know the criticism and hate this book is going to get from some adults. A gentle reminder for those, while it is completely okay to criticize the book you should also remember the target audience : middle school kids

Nico coming out in front of the entire camp. I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand I understand the purpose of the scene but one the other hand that just doesn't seem like something that nico at that point could've been able to do.

I like the fact that Solangelo kiss was way after their relationship was established . It is refreshing to read romance stories that are centered around emotional connect rather than just physical affection (although such relationships are very much valid) especially queer ones as they are often sexualised in media .

I like the fact that solangelo is still trying to understand each other and although they have arguments they are still trying their best to communicate healthily and accepting that sometimes the way that they act isn't nice. It fits in best for their relationship as they properly knew each other for only a short time before they started dating.

What if the thing of equal value that must be left behind aare the coin and ring?!

Still waiting to see Jason and Bianca and other demigod ghosts appear

TSATS SPOILER

I just finished chapter 10. I am 100% will was just dreaming but holy shit whats going on! This plot just started and its already so wonderful. Like the part before. What was happening? Were they being toyed with by some entity. Where actually are they? Is their location being magically swapped? Are they hallucinating? What's going on! The characterization is a bit off but I fucking love the plot so it makes up for it. Mark really wasn't kidding when they said no one came close to guessing the end of the plot. No one even came close to guessing the starting bit. Also Will has had one pov and it's already heart breaking i feel so bad for him.

Patience is a Virtue | Shinsuke Kita x Reader

✧ Summary: You lost track of the days that you were in love with Kita. He was so much more than just the team mom that many outsiders dubbed him as. He was the wielder of cold-logic and held the bluntest of words at times, but he showed his own special brand of care for each member of the team. What you hadn’t expected was for him to especially care about you.  ➳ Warnings: Language because twins lmao ➳ Tags: Childhood friends to lovers; mostly fluff and humor; Atsumu being a little shit; friends trying to be match-makers; mild jealousy on Kita’s part; introspection and some character development

✧  Masterlist

---xXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx---

As the manager of the Inarizaki volleyball club, you were no stranger to the antics of your generally loud team. And while this was usually elicited by the twins, with most of the team ahem especially Suna being no help (since many would rather film then break-up the fight), you were almost a pro at keeping them calm to the public eye.

You grew up alongside most of the members of the team, a strange connection between all of the players. From advanced classes in junior high to being literal neighbors to some of them, you were long-term classmates with many of the members - including the captain himself.

Kita was much more than the doting team mom than people gave him credit for. Yes, he was often the face of the team, the voice of reason that handled the interviews and other press coverage, but this all came from a place of stone-cold reason. He had strict routines and never cared about doing things without practical rationale. Kita had a mature way of thinking, often compartmentalizing both people and emotions, to the point that it made people his own age not relate to him.

Even the quiet Suna, the analytical little shit who loved to poke fun at said captain, had honestly admitted that he thought Kita to be on the robot-side of the emotional spectrum. 

And, despite all this, Kita was the long-term object of your affections.

It was all the little things that made your crush on him grow. From his proper speech, the blunt words no matter to whom he was speaking to, or his unusual brand of care he extended toward his teammates, Kita was the foundation of Inarizaki that you fell for. And when he was named captain of the volleyball team? You almost cried alongside him, reveling in the rare fit of pure happiness that he was gracing your eyes with.

You remembered the last time you walked home together, for once not being called away on separate duties as captain and leading manager. He treated you to ice-cream and walked along you side-by-side.

“Mint chocolate-chip with two cherries.” He told the street-cart vendor confidently, knowing your favorite flavors by heart at this point.

You ordered for him in kind, receiving the treat from the vendor as Kita paid for both of your orders. Anyone else would be contesting it, but you knew that Kita would not take no for an answer. He did stuff like this all the time with you, you were better off not fighting it. This was not the hill you wanted to die on.

But you were surprised when Kita licked at your ice cream, smiling as he tasted it and maintaining your gaze head-on. The shock on your face must have been evident since the smirk on his widened. You reached for the cone in his hand, only for him to lightly slap it away.

“Should I be asking with a pretty please or something?” You asked with a playful pout.

“No.” Kita replied, before lowering it to your eye-level.

Did he want you to lick it? While he was holding it????

Wordlessly, you followed his silent command and felt the minty taste of your afternoon snack on your tongue. Kita watched the action, eyes following your tongue as he shot you a friendly smile. He pulled away before you could get that much more, before licking your ice cream again.

Was that an indirect kiss???

“My, you two make quite the couple.” The vendor commented, clasping her hands together as she watched your interaction.

“We’re not dating.” Kita answered, squashing any hope you had from that interaction.

He was just?? So confusing??

You had so many little moments like this over the years. So many that had you often questioning deep into the night what truly was your relationship with the blunt captain of Inarizaki. You fell for him so many years ago, it made you wonder when was the last time you really thought of him as just a friend. Did he truly not know about your feelings?

But Kita was smart and on just as many occasions, you wondered if he knew the truth but simply did nothing about them. If he could read the twins with little effort, there was no doubt he understood your feelings long-ago, but decided not to act.

At least, that was your reason behind not openly admitting it to him:

That Kita knew you had a crush on him. And since he did not feel the same, it was better off if he did not address them.

And so you never brought it up, stewing in silence for years. 

Eight years was a long time to be in love alone.

“You should just give up on him.” Jisoo, your fellow Inarizaki manager commented one day. She was in the same class as the twins, a year your junior.

The both of you were lounging outside in the courtyard for lunch, a humidly hot day that made the two of you especially lazy this particular school-day. Only a few more hours more and you would be free of classes, liberated of any schoolwork and finally enjoying the weekend.

You were mindlessly scrolling through your phone, looking at the different posts on social media from your various friends. Atsumu had posted of his serve practice the day before, his comment section flooded with various hearts by his fan-club of all things. Osamu’s private Instabook was of food while Aran’s had posted one of the day’s blue skies.

“Why would I do that?” You asked with a sigh, already used to her trying to guide you away from him. You understood why, it was hardly a smart decision to hold onto your feelings, not that you really cared.

“Aren’t you tired of it by now?”

But was that a good enough reason at this point? You were a third-year and about to graduate. If there was one thing that was constant throughout your entire life in the farming prefecture you called a home, it was that you had feelings for the captain.

The sky was blue. Summer was hot. You liked Kita.

It was that simple sometimes. And while there were moments that hurt your heart, it was not like you had any head-space to even try to stop.

“Maybe.” You answered candidly, “Honestly, I wouldn’t even know how to. But I don’t want to either.”

“I worry about you, senpai.”

“What can I say?” You tried to joke, even with your sad smile. “Kita has my heart on lock-down.”

“We’re all going to the twins’ party this weekend, why don’t you try talking to some of the guys there?”

“Not this again.” You complained as you put your phone down on the table.

“Come on!” Jisoo pushed, “I’m sure there’ll be someone there that peaks your interest.”

You raised a brow in response, doubt evident on your face.

She teased, “It could also be on a purely physical level.”

Laughing at her statement, you said. “Like that’s any better.”

“A little smooches here and there never hurt anyone.”

“Now I’m worrying about you.”

She giggled, before continuing. “Just think about it. First guy tonight who hits on you, give him a chance.”

While you would have dismissed the thought immediately, there was something rather playful happening in the pit of your stomach. As if, for once in a long-time, you wanted to feel the puppy love of just casually flirting. Of grinning and laughing along with someone's advances and actually enjoying one these parties; rather than just sitting on the couch playing Mario Kart waiting for Kita to hopefully show.

“I don’t know, maybe.”

She sighed loudly, happy to have cracked you a little. Jisoo continued with a teasing grin on her face. “Oh right, I forgot. You’re a masochist.”

“I could’ve told ya that.” Another voice broke out, the familiar setter of two-tone hair taking the seat next to you. He picked at one of your french-fries, eating it with no preamble as Suna took the seat diagonal from you, next to Jisoo at the picnic table outside. 

For someone who spoke a lot of game about not being caught up with the twins, Suna tended to hang around Atsumu quite a bit.

“I am not a masochist.” You defended from Atsumu’s words, earning an eye-roll from the other female manager.

“Why else would you agree to manage a team with the twins?” Suna quipped before taking out his phone, probably scrolling through social media as well. Atsumu shrugged in agreement, a smirk on his face.

“Also, tell that to your love life.” Jisoo countered, playfully moving her lunch out of Atsumu’s reach before the setter could commandeer some of hers.

You quietly pushed the rest of your fries in his direction, appetite long gone on this overly humid day. Doing this sort of thing was actually quite natural with the twin, sharing food and hugs were a normal thing with your friend.

“It’s not that bad.” You argued.

“Wait, have ya ever dated before?” Atsumu asked.

“Have you?” You countered back, the setter was infamous for his many… romantic encounters. But the young man had yet to ever put a serious label on any of those instances, at least not to your knowledge.

He rolled his eyes in response, turning to Jisoo instead to continue.

“Come on senpai, not even a smooch?” She pushed.

You felt your face flush at having been called out, “Well....”

Atsumu turned his body toward you in his seat, his insufferably confident smirk back on, “I could help ya with that.”

You pushed away at his shoulder, “You say it like it’s a problem.”

“Ya savin’ it till ya get married or somethin’?” He asked, genuinely curious. Even Suna turned to you, looking up from his phone in interest.

You turned to Jisoo, the conversation taking a dangerous turn. If you said yes, their curiosity would definitely be spiked. And it was not like you could lie to them and say it was some random person in your class - you knew these boys for years, but they also knew you in kind. 

Yes or no?

The other manager did not even try to bail you out and your silence was already tantamount to an answer.

“Aww. How cute of ya, (L/N).” Atsumu chuckled, reaching to pat your head. You slapped it away before he got too close. For someone younger than you, he was quite the brat. Years of being friends long stripped away any formalities apparently.

“Looks like our heart-breaker manager is actually very sentimental.” Suna commented, a brow raised in your direction.

“Heart-breaker?” You questioned in genuine confusion.

“Come on, (L/N)-san.” Jisoo answered this time, “She’s had her heart set for so long, she hasn’t even seen the other boys she’s curved.”

“How is that possible when no one’s confessed to me?”

Jisoo laughed while Atsumu absently tapped his finger on the table, “Even I know that ain’t true, (L/N).”

“Whatever.” There was no reasoning with your underclassmen when they were this dead-set. No one had confessed to you before, right? At least none to your memory, they were just being instigators as usual?

“That doesn’t answer the question why ya sittin’ here single.” Atsumu stated.

“He obviously has feelings for you, but she’s too much of a wuss to confess.” Jisoo stated it plainly for you, then turned to look at Atsumu with an expectant face. “So it’s either because he hasn’t noticed, which I doubt, or he’s not looking for commitment.”

“Ah. And it’s someone we’ve known for years, huh?” Suna deduced, words come out slowly.

You straightened your back in surprise and shot warning looks toward both boys. This was getting too close, they were starting to put together pieces of a puzzle you hadn’t even willingly handed to them. And knowing these little shits, they were not going to let this go until they found out.

Atsumu inclined his head for you to continue while Suna’s eyes never left your own. Suna was smart all the time, but with being associated with the twins constantly, it was easy to forget that fact. And since the trio acted like idiots so often, you tended to forgo how truly analytical even the Atsumu was. 

This was not good - so not good. It probably would not take them long to deduce the person at this rate.

“I swear to the highest volleyball gods out there,” You spit out as your turned to the other manager, “I will fucking smite you off this planet if you say another word.”

Jisoo burst out laughing immediately, almost choking on her lunch as Atsumu grinned at your warning, the exact opposite response you wanted.

“Strong words ya got there.” He commented, body still angled toward yours in interest. “Looks like we hittin’ a lil too close to home?”

“Don’t even try it.” You responded back, turning away from his inquisitive eyes and back to your phone.

Needless to say, they didn’t listen.

Suna backed up in his seat, eyes glancing between you and the setter. “No commitment, huh?”

Meanwhile, Atsumu was rapid-firing questions. “Is it a second-year? Third-year? Is he on the volleyball team? Do we know ‘em personally?”

You smiled at his now peaked curiosity, the setter almost looking like a small puppy waiting for a treat. But you refused to answer, no doubt sure that they would tell the captain the moment they found out the truth. You turned to Jisoo, who was smiling away at Atsumu, but otherwise sat thankfully quiet.

Atsumu was firing off specific names now, hoping to get any response from you.

“The bastard’s gotta be on the team.”

“Bastard?” Jisoo laughed at the nickname.

“Shut up, Atsumu.” You countered, attempting to poke harshly at his forehead to stop. But he just grabbed the hand in one of his own, holding it in his lap as he continued to spit out names.

“Is it Aran?”

“Will you stop?”

“‘Samu?”

“I will murder you in cold blood.”

“... Is it me?”

You tried your best to pull your hand away, now realizing his tightening hold on against the skin of your hand. How long had you been sitting there holding hands? You felt a natural rosiness rise to your cheeks, not really because of the recipient, but because you were doing so in public with some guy.

Instead, you poked the setter’s side roughly, earning a deep groan, but freeing your hand in the process. Packing up your belongings, you stepped out of the picnic table and stated, “Lunch is almost over, we should get to class.”

You walked away with a small wave, the boys turning to the now only female occupant of the lunch-table.

“So…”

“Nu-uh.” Jisoo cut off Atsumu, moving to leave the table before she accidentally said anything.

“Throw a man a bone here! Or at least help him bone.” Atsumu murmured that last part under his breath, “Ya don’t even have to verbally confirm it - is it me?”

Jisoo paused as she stood, books in hand already. The look she threw him was mischievous, but otherwise she left in silence.

Unfortunately for you, all you were thinking about during class was that conversation you just had. Kita sat on your right in your next few classes, the mild Ōmimi behind the both of you. The last thing you needed was to linger on their teasing words of smooches and marriage. You couldn’t confess your feelings, imagining anything else?? You could only imagine the bright blush at the simple thought of it.

And apparently, you hadn’t hidden it well.

“Something wrong?”

There were still a couple more minutes until the teacher would return. And so you were sitting in the classroom with Kita alongside you, other students milling around the room. He was so damn good at reading people and you cursed that he was using it against you now.

“Just thinking about some stuff Jisoo said at lunch.” You tried to wave off.

“You’re blushing.” Kita stated bluntly, putting his book down as he spoke to you. 

He was never one to sugar-coat his words.

“Am I?” You put your palms to your cheeks, as if to feel the heat. There was no point in trying to lie to him. “She was teasing me about boys.”

“Oh. Are you dating anyone?” Kita asked.

God, this was awful. 

There was nothing worse than your crush asking about your crush.

“No, not yet.” You shook your head negatively, turning towards the window on your left, at least trying to hide your expression.

“Yet? Are you looking to date soon?”

You wanted to scream.

“Um, not in the near future.” You tried to deflect, “But it could happen!”

“Of course.” He smiled, “I packed extra onigiri for lunch, but I couldn’t find you. I’m not sure if you still want it.”

“Ah, I would love to! If I’m not imposing, then yes.”

Kita shook his head, “I packed it for you.”

“You’re so sweet sometimes.” You said honestly, taking it and munching down.

“You usually either forget your lunch or eat junk.” He stated plainly, making you suddenly blanch at his cold-words. I mean, he wasn’t exactly wrong either. You thought back to the lunch you had today, literally just water and french fries that you ended up giving to Atsumu.

“Ha, well.” You trailed off before settling on, “Thanks for always taking care of me.”

Kita’s small grin widened as he looked you in the eyes, “It’s my pleasure.”

When he said things like that, it easily set your heart aflame. It was so simple, such small interactions that you would have to squint hard to find anything underlying in his words. But you wanted to. You wanted to feel needed and also give to the captain as well.

The blush you had earlier was probably nothing in comparison to how you looked now, you were sure. And, with Kita being the ever smart cookie he was, there was no doubt that he spied your inflamed reaction.

Was that conversation over? Was he expecting a response?

Maybe the volleyball god’s did have mercy on your poor soul, since your teacher walked in then and thankfully brought your conversation to a halt. You tried not to outwardly seem relieved, turning to the front and taking out your notebooks.

Your mind wandered in and out of the lecture. There were moments that your gaze just happened to meander over to the captain to your right. It was one thing to suddenly notice you were staring at him, but another thing entirely to be caught in the action. Kita would usually just smile at you kindly, before nudging his chin toward the front of the room toward the teacher.

Even later during volleyball practice, your eyes would casually dawdle over to where the captain was standing. Whether he was watching the team with careful eyes or participating himself in practicing spikes, your eyes usually just found him.

But today was not the day to let down your guard.

Atsumu and Suna were paying careful attention to you. And now it was no secret where your gaze was pointed to. Suna smirked when he realized, but Atsumu clicked his tongue and mentally filed it away for later. Jisoo once snapped playful fingers in front of your face, grabbing your attention to flip the scoreboard.

When it was finally time to clean, Kita helped you collect the left-over volleyballs and roll the hammock into the proper storage room. You did so carefully, making sure not to accidentally touch his skin lest he back off from the motion. But the kind, neutral expression he shot you went straight to your heart.

“Let’s get the scoreboard next.” He instructed, the both of you moving to opposite sides of the wheeled board.

And you would have, if Atsumu had not thrown a casual arm across the captain’s shoulders.

“Hey, do ya mind helpin’ ‘Samu over there?” He motioned with his thumb over his shoulder, pointing to his twin who was not looking at all.

Slightly suspicious, Kita did as asked anyway and went with the grey-headed twin to mop the floors.

“What was that about?” You asked as Atsumu pushed the scoreboard along with you.

It was only when you entered the storage room alone that he replied, “So Mister No Gaps Kita Shinsuke, huh?”

“What?!” You fought the inward need to slap yourself, high voice and exclamation enough to show that he was right on the money. “You asshole, how do you know that?”

“I didn’t need anyone to tell me that.” He emphasized, gesturing at your eyes with two fingers. “Ya kept starin’ at ‘em the entire practice.”

You huffed frowning, “That obvious, huh?”

“Yea, he probably knows too - especially if Suna and I figured this shit out.”

That didn’t help at all.

“Great.” You leaned against the nearby wall and put a palm to your forehead.

Atsumu crossed his arms, “So why haven’t ya confessed to ‘em yet?”

You scoffed and shot him a flat-expression, “Because he doesn’t like me back?”

“What? He said that to ya?”

“Well, no.” You hesitated, but explained. “I mean, he definitely knows I have feelings. And Shinsuke has never been one to beat around the bush. If he hasn’t addressed it, it’s probably because he doesn’t want to make it awkward…  since he doesn't feel the same.”

“I think you’re a dumbass.” Atsumu stated back, sighing heavily. “Kita don’t think like that and we both know it.”

“Why else would he be waiting it out?” You asked, “This is the same Kita that told us he doesn’t understand how people feel nervous.”

“Jesus, (F/N). He was talkin’ about volleyball.” Atsumu groaned, raking one of his hands through his piss-blonde hair. “Kita’s human too. Maybe he’s not sure how ya would respond for the same reasons.”

“I don’t know if love advice from the school’s resident fuck-boy is a good idea.” You jabbed instead, a playful smile on your face.

Atsumu put a mock-offended hand on his chest, a smirk finding a way on his face before he squashed it down seriously. He took a step toward you until you were less than an arms’ length-apart, “Fine, have it your way. Stew in silence until he finds someone else.”

That struck a silent chord in you.

“Honestly, that was kind of the plan these past few years.” You admitted, turning your head toward the ground. “If he could find his true happiness with someone else, then I would be happy for him.”

Atsumu must have detected your seriousness, since he hesitated to say his next few words. “Don’ be like that. Stop bein’ an idiot - he likes you.”

“Shut up.”

“Come on, (L/N).” Atsumu levelled with you, “Ya standin’ here like ya ain’t the only girl he’s ever withstood.”

“Wow, what a feat.” You muttered as you sighed.

“Fine, if ya don’t believe that. Aren’t ya’ll best friends anyway?” Atsumu asked, “I’m sure he’d do anythin’ to keep you close.”

You hesitated, but agreed. Your relationship, no matter if he reciprocated your feelings or not, you were best friends. But if he didn’t feel the same and you said something? Would there ever be recovering from something like that?

Atsumu drew you out of your thoughts before he lost you further to your over-thinking, “You’re a real catch. Anybody would be lucky to have ya.”

“Oh?” You shot a withered smile at him.

“And I’m not just sayin’ that to put the moves on ya.” Atsumu joked, earning a light punch to his shoulder as you walked past him to leave.

“Yeah, yeah.” You said before turning back towards him, remembering to say. “None of this leaves this room. You hear that?”

“Yes ma’am.” He mock-saluted, a second later a loud ahem ringing through the room.

You tensed up and turned toward the door, seeing a blank-faced Shinsuke standing in the open doorway. Atsumu was always surprised, albeit much less worried than you were. Was your secret finally out?

“Am I interrupting something?” He asked, before you pushed shouted a loud No! and brushed past him back into the gymnasium.

Atsumu tried to casually exit the room as well, before his captain’s voice rang-out again, “Care to explain what that was about?” 

The setter had two options here: either brush it off or fan the flames that he knew for a fact was there. You were the obvious party, openly staring at the captain like your eyes belonged on him. But Atsumu knew that those feelings were not as unrequited as you thought. 

He remembered some club-room talk not that long ago. It was normal for the guys to discuss their preferences, something that Atsumu was rather vocal about on multiple occasions. Aran was just looking for someone he could cook while Ōmimi stated he liked girls who were generally very kind. Osamu preferred someone who was a bit meeker while Atsumu loved ‘em vocal, even bratty to the point of talking back.

“Of course, you would.” Suna commented as he dressed.

“What the fuck do ya mean by that?” The setter bit out.

“As in the fuckboy thinks he’s a girl tamer.” Suna snarkily replied.

“Well, when a girl has a mouth on her. I want to put it to good use.” Atsumu said with a smirk, earning a loose towel to the head, one that Osamu had just launched from across the room. Aran sighed and grabbed it before Atsumu could whip it back. Kita nodded toward his counterpart in quiet thanks.

Many of the others were still dressing after practice this day, it would be annoying to have to break up another fight between the twins then.

“Can ya be less of an asshole?” The grey-headed twin asked.

“Wha? I’m speakin’ the truth!” Atsumu defended, “Not every girl is like that anyway.”

“And who would the infamous Ratsumu have his eyes on?” Suna asked, genuinely curious but not missing the chance to poke at the setter.

Atsumu frowned, but continued anyway. “No one, right now. But I still got eyes, ya know. Ya can’t tell me our manager ain’t a cutie.”

“She would rather hand you a new asshole than ever date you.” Suna said, to which Akagi laughed.

“Careful, ‘Tsamu.” Osamu playfully warned, “People might think ya like (L/N)-san.”

“What can I say, she’s single and hot as fuck.” Atsumu replied off-handedly. 

It was a plain statement, but you could almost physically feel the temperature change in the club-room. Aran was glancing between the captain while the rest wondered why it was suddenly dead silent.

Osamu wondered if his prayers had been heard and he would soon be an only child.

“I suggest not saying that again.” Kita stated over his shoulder as he buttoned up the rest of his shirt.

That was a clear enough warning to everyone in the room that you were off limits. Suna had remembered this instance as well, in the present day reminding Atsumu after lunch not to push any buttons. It was clear then that Kita had no tolerance to any shit he was going to pull and now the pining was mutual on both your ends. Suna reminded him again and again during class to just let you and Kita sort your feelings naturally.

Pfft.

Was Atsumu going to be a little shit and try to sew some discord?

Hell yes.

“What can I say?” Atsumu feigned being casual, even shrugging as he exited the quiet storage room. “A pretty girl and a young guy enter a closet alone together, you know the rest.”

The glare he felt on his neck could have been enough to snap it with this much pressure. But, Atsumu digressed. He was doing the both of you a favor anyway, pushing you together when you both already had feelings for one another (albeit with some mind games interspersed).

Atsumu almost laughed when Kita grabbed your hand when the two of you walked home together. 

Kita knew what the setter was doing. What buttons he was trying to push, what he was trying to imply with you. The captain knew it all and he was still getting pissed off.

True to everyone’s assumptions, Kita knew about your feelings for him. The extent and duration, that he was not sure of. But he knew that you have thought about him in a romantic light for quite some time. Lingered looks and purposeful touches, on both your ends, was not something he could easily ignore.

What made Kita wonder was why you hadn’t said anything at all?

You were often pretty straight-forward as well. Not exactly in terms of romance, but you when were interested in something you tended to speak your mind. Whether it be a new show, some shounen anime you were following along with, you always shared it with him.

And for that fact he was always grateful.

Many of the others your age tended to be warded off by his way of thinking, branding him too mature or even too cold at times. To think that even the sarcastic Suna had nicknamed him as a robot, it was interesting to see that was how most people saw him.

But you didn’t.

Or at least, you saw passed his cold exterior and were just a freely-spoken with your mind. Kita’s blunt way of speaking had casualties sometimes, but you usually voiced if his blunt speech was too much. There were times that, if you were inadvertently hurt by his words, you would say it out-loud.

He remembered the last time this happened, not even a month ago. The two of you were hanging out under the shade of a tree, about to go out to a team hangout when you exited your back porch wearing a blue sundress. It flirted high above your knees and showed off the creamy legs of yours that he loved to trail his eyes over.

You looked breath-taking.

And so he said:

“Is there an occasion I’m missing today? I thought we were just going out with the team.”

The disappointed look on your face was immediate and it did not take a genius to figure those were the wrong words to say. But what he was not sure is where it went wrong. Logically, it made sense. You were going to walk at least two miles to the train and then from there a mile to the arcade. And most of that time you would all be standing. Would you even be comfortable doing all this walking in sandals?

But you didn’t get offended or draw away from him from these smaller misunderstandings.

You were always ready to knock some sense into him if need be.

“Not even a compliment on how I look? How mean.” You said with a frown, “I tried a bit more because I don’t usually get the chance to.”

“I know, but I want you to be comfortable considering the walks today.” Kita lightly grabbed your elbow as he stepped closer, “Besides, you always look beautiful no matter what you’re wearing.”

Your blush was palpable, Kita was almost sure he could fry an egg on your forehead, if the redness was any indication of temperature. 

“Let’s save this dress for another occasion. Preferably where only I see these.” He glanced down to indicate your legs, to which you sputtered and allowed him to guide you back inside the house.

And instead, he picked a pair of light-colored shorts and a loose summer-blouse. Kita knew you had a pair of black-and-white sneakers that would go with it anyway. You commented how it was almost scary that Kita knew your wardrobe, but he stated it simply:

I like what you wear. And I think it looks very agreeable on you.

It was simple and he stated it thusly. And from your reaction, it seemed as if it had made your day. From the beaming smile on your face to the new skip in your step, it was clear to him that he had amended the situation properly with your guidance.

But he still had the same issue: Kita thought he was being clear as day.

There was no one else he was spending time with like this. No one else whom Kita was expressing interest in like he was with you. From sharing ice-cream to hangouts alone with just the two of you, he thought his way of flirting with you was obvious? His actions alone should have been clear that he was showing his own interest in you.

And so if Kita was being clear with his feelings, why hadn’t you said anything?

This was not something he could just say and retract, either. The last thing he wanted to do was put your entire friendship on the line just to lose you. What if you actually did not feel the same way? But from your constant blushing and obvious gaze on him, you liked him too? But why hadn’t you said anything? Were you expecting him too?

He almost groaned aloud at this line of thinking.

Nothing had him flustered quite like you. Kita was confident both in school and on the court, a sure faith that no matter where it was. It was not a baseless arrogance, but more like a calm trust that he knew what he was doing was right.

And yet…

When it came to you, that brand of confidence simply withered away. Not always a bad thing, you often caught him off-guard with your own kindness and rarely did you ever truly fight. But there were times that he sorely wished he knew what was going on in that head of yours.

Like why hadn’t you said anything to him regarding this tension?

Or better yet, why the hell were you whispering with Atsumu in the gym closet?

The setter knew all about your being off-limits. Kita made it very clear that day and it seemed even then, the message did not totally receive in the asshole's mind. Or rather, it probably did, Atsumu just decided to ignore it.

And so on your shared walk home after practice, Kita gently grabbed your hand and did not let go. You almost jumped in surprise alongside him. Not that you hadn’t held hands before, but it was usually called for in the context. Navigating one of the twin’s parties, through a crowded group, or just to guide you somewhere.

But never had he held your hand for no reason.

Kita just smiled, hoping this would send a clear enough message to both you and the meddlesome boys behind you.

Meanwhile, Atsumu had to stop himself from cackling aloud. Osamu was ready to question his brother over what the hell was that about, but Suna assured him that it was best not to get involved at this rate. Aran simply sighed, but waved goodbye and goodnight to the rest of the team.

Your smile was a mask to your inward screaming, only to be silenced to a blank void. Your mind was comparable to that picture of spilled milk - the only thing inside as if the very act was an enigma. You had no idea what to say, what to do in this situation as you both continued to walk along.

For someone who was an athlete, the skin of his hand was surprisingly soft as it encased your own. You felt your hand unconsciously squeeze his and feared that the act would have him pulling away, as if waking him up from his act. But Kita squeezed back, a fond expression reflected back at you.

The two of you walked home together whenever you had the chance, unless called for by other duties. So this was usually normal for the two of you. Conversation was just easy, ranging from school or recent events, and even if one-sided you had no issues with simply speaking to the captain. And yet today…

Kita and you were both completely silent.

You couldn’t even tell if something else was on his mind, a neutral look on his face as he looked ahead. Was this action to show that he was reciprocating your feelings? You hated being unsure like this, but there was too much vulnerability to simply lay-out what you wanted to say.

Even on the train, Kita sat next to you quietly but still held your hand over his knee. You watched the action, before trying to level your breathing as to not freak out. But Kita kept going about his day, even taking out his phone to check a few texts with the other hand.

It was meant to show this was entirely on purpose.

Only when your house popped into view during something conspiratory popped into your mind - Did one of the boys tell him?

You felt the small seed of hope grow further. Was it just a coincidence that the day Suna and Atsumu found out about your secret was the same day, after literal years, that Kita found out as well? And that maybe if he knew now, was he reciprocating in some way?

You moved to glance at him in the corner of your eye, but he was already looking at you.

The both of you stopped short of the gate, but you hesitated for a second to say anything. There was so much on your mind and stewing in silence was the exact opposite thing you wanted to do. Before you could even think of words to say, your captain made the first move again.

Kita tenderly reached for your other hand, holding both in his much larger ones. He brought them up together and shot you a gentle smile, “(F/N), your hands are so soft.”

It came out like word vomit.

“I like you, Kita!”

SHIT.

Maybe you read him wrong?? If he was going to make a move, why was he looking at you so surprised??

“And here I was, wanting to say something first.” Kita said as he chuckled lightly, his hands gliding the rest of the way up your arms. “I like you, too.”

You didn’t even have time to overthink, Kita wasting no time and pulling you towards him. Quickly raising your hands to his chest, you steadied yourself against him as he held you in the close embrace. His smile was almost blinding - not from the size, but rather the genuine feel behind it.

Your hands slid upwards, folding behind his neck as your faces drew closer together. One of his hands gently carded in your hair, lightly guiding you to him. You closed your eyes in silent anticipation, long awaited joining finally happening with only stars as your audience.

The skin of his lips slotted gently against yours and you silently relished the feel of the prolonged peck. You pulled him closer, silently nudging him to go the step further. Kita smiled in response, making you beam right back at him. It was honestly hard to deepen the kiss further, expressions pulled from your shared grins. You were two idiots smiling at one another, foreheads pressed together as you struggled to deepen your impassioned kiss.

“I’ve waited so long to hold you like this.” Kita whispered against your lips, one of his hands resting around your waist.

“Me too.” You replied in a low vice, eyes still closed as you just felt him.

He watched your cute expression, from your rosy appearance to the way you deliciously leaned your body into him. Kita felt his eyes shutter closed, savoring the feeling of you two finally joined. You moved together in tandem, softly at first, and then with a swift intensity that made you cling to him even further - as if Kita was the only solid thing in this suddenly swaying world.

The world was constantly moving, either too fast or too slow or too much at times. Until finally, in Kita’s arms, it finally felt right.

“I’ve liked you for a really long time.” You confessed.

“I know.” Kita responded simply, “Me too.”

You almost wanted to laugh, but withheld it from possibly breaking the atmosphere. “Is it really that simple?”

“Yes.” Kita said as he smiled, moving to place a light kiss on your forehead. “I was honestly… afraid to say anything in fear of your response. But now we are both aware, right?”

You grinned back and stretched on your tippy-toes to kiss his cheek, “Yes.”

“That’s it then.” Kita stated as he leaned his forehead back against yours, “You’re mine. And I’m yours.”

You whispered back, “Sounds like a deal.”

His insistent mouth parted your eager lips, sending wild tremors crawling up your spine, evoking sensations you had never known you were even capable of feeling. And as the swimming giddiness spun you round and round, you steadied yourself to kiss him back just as passionately. With a swipe of his tongue against the crease of your lips, you parted your mouth eagerly.

There was no battle, no insistent fight between your two appendages. There was only Kita, eagerly roaming around your mouth as you sensually rubbed tongues. You openly moaned at the feeling, not even noticing the noise until Kita was smiling in response.

You blushed at the realization, but Kita only complimented the sound. “Make that noise again for me.”

Your smile dropped to a more sultry smirk.

“You’ll have to earn it.”

Kita felt his eyes comically widen before dropping to a half-lid, “Oh?”

“My parents aren’t home…”

“Oh.”

Kita placed a kiss on your forehead just to lean away, one of his hands dropping to grab your own. You hurried along with his pace, suddenly breaking out into a faster walk in the direction of your home.

“Let’s make up for lost time, shall we?”

BONUS:

“No way.” Jisoo commented on the sight before her, nudging Atsumu standing next to her. The twin’s party was ravaging around them, but there was an unlikely and yet very likely couple that had just walked through the door. And while it was normal to see the two of them together, it was the first official time as an exclusive couple.

Walking in was Kita and you, hands clasped together like this was oh so natural.

Akagi greeted the both of you with a smile while Aran waved you guys over to the living, where many of the other team members were playing a game. Kita guided you through the party, joined hands proudly on display for all party goers.

Atsumu held out a hand in Jisoo direction’s, causing her to frown but nonetheless place some lost yen in his open palm.

But seeing you smile and share a kiss openly with the captain, Jisoo didn’t exactly mind losing this bet.

the hill that i will forever die on is that general & major dental care and orthodontics should be subsidised by the government, if not COMPLETELY FREE/bulk billed/whatever, bc it’s honestly the absolute fucking cornerstone of ur physical, mental, & emotional wellbeing and i MEAN THAT and it’s fucked that people have to pay thousands of dollars for treatments, procedures, hell even just regular check-ups throughout their life, for something that’s so essential, when the government could and should be supporting people financially w this (esp bipoc/homeless/otherwise disadvantaged groups of ppl). like...poor dental health and not getting the appropriate orthodontic treatment can lead to heart disease, tooth loss, impacts your hearing, can impact your vision, can increase your susceptibility to other infections/illnesses, can affect your sleep, the way you bite, chew, talk.... and just even from a cosmetic point of view, it’s normal and okay to want nice-looking teeth! of course it’s completely fine if you don’t have pristine white straight movie-star teeth bc that’s an often-unachievable standard set by the media & society in general, but fuck like... why should i have to pay $8,000+ for braces to fix my bite and help me floss better and fill in some gaps and not feel like garbage whenever i look in the mirror and make it so i can finally stop avoiding smiling with my teeth? and why should my mother have to pay $4,500+ for jawbone procedures to help alleviate her severe sleep apnoea? like why is this shit so fucking expensive? i shouldn’t have to work two goddamn jobs and make less than $35,000 a year and scrimp and save this pittance so that i have a MINIMAL CHANCE at one of the most essential parts of my body being, feeling, and looking healthy

54: Is cheating ever okay?

(Again I’m assuming this is meant about romantic relationships) Unpopular opinion: I think revenge cheating is okay. Like, if your partner cheats on you, then I think you’re totally justified to cheat on them back. Outside of that, absolutely not.

55: Are you mean?

Ha honestly yeah. Like 50% of the time I am sweet as pie [insert gif of John Mulaney quote “You could spill hot soup on me and I’d probably apologize to you”], but the other 50% is just utterly Bitch

Dog kisses, fresh food, media, my bffs, the pitter-patter of rain, justice, three margaritas into an evening, lots of stuff

63: Would you change your name?

Oh hells yeah. I love my name, but identity changes gets my motor running

64: Would it be hard to kiss the last person you kissed?

No lol she hot

Oh totes. I’m pretty much ready to throw myself on the pyre at any time lmaoo

Thanks for asks, this was fun!!

[danbensen]

…or how tracking my life told me I was abusing coffee and social media

So there I was, my nails digging into my palms, my right molars pressed into each other. The air hissed in through my nose as my vision narrowed to a point. It was like hurtling down a roller-coaster. It was was terrifying, and I had no idea why it was happening.

I’d be doing nothing especially ominous – sitting down on the couch, carrying my younger daughter, thinking about bread – and suddenly I’d be gripped by this intense sensation of danger. BREAD! The image of a whole-grain loaf gained the mass of a church bell. DOOM! It rang. Toll the yeasty knell, oh brazen fate, for all men shall one day die. Die, oh, mortal flesh. Die and meet thy baker. (whoo! I am so sorry about that pun. Deep breaths now…)

Tiny drops of steam Ebb and flow before the light With each of my breaths.

It was ridiculous, but of course knowing that it was ridiculous didn’t help. I was like a cat, freaking out for no reason. Or was there no reason? Aren’t I supposed to listen to my body, now that I’m meditating and whatnot? But what exactly was my body supposed to be telling me? Avoid carbs? Run from the couch? Something about my daughter…? Yeah, If I searched hard enough for a reason to be terrified, I’d surely find one. Now there’s a reason for fear.

So I meditated more. I stopped using social media. I took my daughters to the park and watched the sky as it changed from brass to rose and the street lights blinked on. I talked to Pavlina. And I realized that over the course of the past month, I’d gone from drinking two cups of coffee a day to four.

The trees turn black and The sky, indescribable. Look up and it’s changed.

Scheduling is hard. My older daughter’s in first grade now, and school starts at 8:10 in the Center. The younger one’s in kindergarten, which starts at 8:30 in Levski G. At some point, it would be nice if Pavlina and I could go to work, which is back in the Center. If we want to have breakfast and drink our coffee in peace, we need to wake up at 6:15. Three hours later, I’m finally in the office and I’m tired. That scares me because I associate being tired with being sick. Fatigue=death.

I’m supposed to listen to my body, but my body is a stupid animal. It’s not going to say, “you’re drinking too much coffee.” It says “coffee reminds me of being happy!” and “not being productive scares me!” It says “I’m tired! I must have cancer again!” It’s up to me to keep track of what I’m doing, cut out the distractions, and give myself enough mental room to notice the patterns.

Right. So that’s why I’m not doing social media any more. Because part of the reason I was too distracted to notice I was drinking too much coffee was the last newsletter I wrote. I posted it on facebook, which made me want to check facebook for likes and comments. And once I was on facebook, why not see what other people are posting? Oh. Oh. That’s what they’re posting. Oh no.

I debated writing this explanation. Why not just stop using social media? Why talk about it on social media? But my litmus test for whether I should write something is “will this help people?” Maybe this is helpful: social media is distracting and depressing. It fills my head with noise. Maybe you have the same problem and this is the solution.

The sky at seven The color of hope that hurts And the crying swifts

I’ll continue to post my work on my website (including these newsletters) and mirror or link to those posts on Tumblr, Twitter, and Facebook. Readers are welcome to like and comment, but I’ll only read those comments once a week (Friday seems like a good day). Comments on my website, PMs, and emails to me will get my attention earlier. I won’t read any content that isn’t sent personally to me or that I didn’t sign up for. Hopefully that means I’ll still get news from people I care about, but not about tragedies that I have no power to solve. That way, I can continue to function from hour to hour.

What do you think? Is this going to work? Can I stay connected without sacrificing my mental health? Let me know in the comments. Or even better, email me.

In other news, I had some good writing stuff happen this month. Interchange has hit its 2/3 mark and, more importantly, its rhythm. I’ve managed to block off a fairly reliable 90-minute chunk of time in the mornings, which I use to meditate and then “speedwrite,” which means writing without thinking about what I’m doing. I generally end up with a single element of a scene, such as the conversation the characters are having, how they feel, what’s going on in the environment, or what actions the characters are taking.

Then I usually have some time after lunch (and my second and final coffee), and I can layer those scene-pieces onto each other and smooth the edges. If I have more time, I do research, which usually involves shooting messages to generous experts. In this way, the inestimable and inspiring Thomas Duffy helped me tie a ribbon around the center of my book, in which a biologist’s subconscious belief that she owns the environment she’s studying leads her to destroy it. As the forest crumbles around her, she blames herself…then makes exactly the wrong decision about what to do next. Yeah! Fiction! Thomas, I’m going to send you roses or cacti or something.

Another new tradition I’ve instituted is spending my Friday mornings not working on Interchange. It’s a little release of pressure, a chance to play and remind myself that writing isn’t just another chore I have to do. The first week, it was a short story. That one turned out so well, I’m going to try to publish it. It’s called “The Sales Event” and it’s about smart phones and general relativity. Do you want to beta-reader it?

I got another couple of “no”s from publishers about The Sultan’s Enchanter, but one of them was that very gratifying “no” that comes at the head of a long list of things I could do to fix the story. Making those fixes will be educational, even if that particular publisher still passes. Wealthgiver is rather like The Sultan’s Enchanter, after all, and the lessons I learn from one will be important for the other. The world needs more books about amoral Balkan people!

Yeah, I’m still working on Wealthgiver’s neo-Thracian language. I even posted a little of it on Tumblr. But don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten my little goats!

Kapt kapēnon ainē kesa / byźai darsai ypo dēsâ. Ēbron, aiźi, byźâs kâ / skalmon, bleptē, bystâs kâ, As tae yper iatśikan / kapâ pe ta ve abbrinkan.

There were at one time / brave goats under heaven. A kid, a nanny, and a billy goat / clever, loyal, and tough, Who would dance up / a hill for to make themselves fat.

Dâ ispilsen opē rinkon strymē / parân ân, śân târâ dymâ. Iśē iserpa źēryntē / źymlē mērē urdēnē. Byźulâs ada pyrân źilmân / dâ bolvarâs pia rhobton saimân.

But a quick-flowing river blocked / the path with an evil guard. There coiled a beast / a great water-dragon. A goat will eat green grains / but a serpent will slurp blood

Peskēnon ērga ēbron do. / Pliskon ērga śân negō. Źymlē zē semân iglytsa. / “Kis ēs tu?” Neston iglâtsa. “Semâs manon ēm ēźo.” / “San ar ēsti? Abadam so!”

First comes the kid. / It splashes with its hooves. The dragon heard this. / “Who are you?” she roared. “This only am I.” / “Is it so? I will eat you up!”

Things are heating up! I’m still not entirely comfortable with the articles and deitics, but I do like that last line. And the orthography is shaping up nicely. I love googly things over letters.

Another potential conlanging project for that other hundred years I plan to live: Western Hellenism. What if the Greeks had conquered Iberia?

And finally, PROTECTOR! This is the comic project I’ve been working on for literally six years. Words by me and Simon Roy, inks by Atryom Trakhanov, colors by Jason Wordie, and lettering by Hassan Otsmane-Elhadu. What a crazy, fun, glorious process this collaboration was!

Protector is a post-apocalyptic scifi story about a slave who stumbles across “a demon of the Profligate Age,” a military cyborg who’s been in hibernation for the past thousand years. The post-human robots who are terraforming the Earth are not amused, and send in some sweaty future-vikings to put a stop to these shenanigans.

There will be five issues, and issue one comes out in January. If you’re interested, please order a copy, or better yet, tell your local comic or book store to order lots of copies! Give us some numbers that will convince Image to ask for a sequel

And finally, some books and stuff

Daring Greatly by Brené Brown – this book wasn’t as transformative for me as it could have been because I’ve read Brown before and I already agree with her. Shame is bad. Vulnerability is the cure. Bam. What I like about Brown is that she collects good data, lets it prove her wrong, and suggests how the lessons from the data can be usefully applied. It’s not just science, it’s engineering.

Falling Free by Lois McMaster Bujold – I think this was the third read. What happens when GM humans become obsolete? What happens when an engineer has a spiritual epiphany? It wasn’t quite as much fun as some of Bujold’s other science fiction, but it has a lot of heart.

Spooky Action at a Distance by George Musser – an excellent physics book, examining the concept of space, which lies at the center of the contradictions of relativity and quantum physics. If space didn’t exist, the universe would be chaos, but a lot of experiments only make sense if space _doesn’t_ exist. Great stuff, and it inspired that short story I’m so proud of.

Death by Water by Kerry Greenwood – a refreshing splash of chilly New Zealand sea spray. Phryne pursues a jewel thief and has a little bit of sex, but a lot of good food, drink, and dancing. There’s also a hakka.

Wicked Prey by John Sandford – it was actually a little boring. The police’s side of the story didn’t hold up as well as the criminals’. But this is a relatively early book in the series, which means Sandford is improving.

The Upright Go Pro – it’s a little device that you glue to your upper back so it will buzz at you when you slouch. Immediately after I put it on, I realized I have little tiny tyrannosaurus arms that don’t reach any table or counter-top. It ran out of batteries one day and man did my back hurt that night. So I guess it’s working.

Gravity by Against the Current and Brighter by Patent Pending – Good Interchange music.

Be Kind to Yourself by Andrew Peterson – It makes me feel better.

Song of Durin by Clamavi De Profundis – I haven’t gotten goosebumps from a song in a long time. It’s about dwarves.

The Twits by Roald Dahl – I read it to my older daughter and boy howdy did Roald Dahl know how to write for children. Everything seems utterly ridiculous but it all somehow satisfies. Like eating dirt cake.

Steven Universe – My younger daughter found me rewatching it on my phone and made me cast it on the big TV. Now it’s all “I wanna watch Steeben dabout a Giant Woman. I’m Pearl.” No, younger daughter, you are not Pearl. Pearl is my older daughter. My younger daughter is Amethyst. Nobody is more Amethyst than my younger daughter. (I’m Peridot)

5 Ways covid will change the music industry forever  

By Gianfranco Ceccolini, founder of MOD Devices

“It is through the madness of poets, through the disruption they represent, that society breathes.” - Paulo Leminski, Brazilian Poet

With much of the world locking down due to coronavirus, the live arts have been hit particularly hard. In the UK this led to Chancellor, Rishi Sunak’s suggestion that people in the arts should retrain in technical careers, as developers for example, completely missing the public mood.

In many ways, music was the saviour for a lot of people in lockdown, and personally I think there was a huge missed opportunity for governments to pay musicians to entertain the population online. Instead it was up to musicians themselves to lift public spirits. However, the old music structures meant it was hard for musicians to make money from their efforts.

So what are the long lasting effects going to be? In this article we will explore how covid has affected musicians and music production, exploring what the ‘new normal’ will look like for musicians specifically.

For some, music rescued their sanity during extended periods of quarantine. In countries all over the world, amateur and professional musicians alike took to their balconies and rooftops to give unpaid live performances to locked-in neighbours. The performances were recorded and watched millions of times all around the world. 

Whilst these musicians weren’t able to monetise these performances, many of them did grow their fan bases significantly. And I predict the impact they created within their audiences, at a time where emotions were enhanced in every way, will be long lasting. 

 More musicians

Despite Sunak’s devaluation of the arts, I expect we’ll see more musicians, not fewer. Sheet music sales jumped 25% and online tutorials and music equipment companies reported record growth during the pandemic, as more aspiring musicians learned to play, and part-time musicians dusted off their instruments. 

The proof is in the numbers – Gear4music, the largest online music instrument retailer, saw an 84% like-for-like growth spike versus the same time last year. My company, MOD Devices, also saw a 200% increase in sales during this period.

In terms of existing musicians, I believe more of them will pivot to having music as their primary career. I expect there will be fewer ‘corporate’ jobs for musicians to ‘fall back on’ when their music careers don’t take off. 

With fewer jobs and many industries being forced to embrace automation to counter the vulnerability of humanity during a pandemic, the issue of unemployment will be a chronic one. Why risk re-employing humans when you can keep the economy going during the next pandemic with technology?

Anything that can be automated, will be, and the very human traits of creativity and imagination will thrive. So with less desirable and creative roles being taken up by machines, there will be extra opportunity for humans to work in the arts. The Covid-19 pandemic will have ripple effects well beyond effective vaccines.

 More experimental music

Lockdown has given musicians more time, giving them the space to innovate. At one stage, around a third of the planet’s population was locked down, and in most cases governments paid people to stay at home. In some cases, governments even trialled a Universal Basic Income (UBI), a strategy that’s been touted as a solution to the fact global wealth is growing exponentially despite fewer jobs being available.

Having enough income to live off during lockdown, without the stresses of having to earn a salary, will perhaps give an entire generation of musicians enough time and capacity to create. Previously this was the luxury of only career musicians, but now many more will have the chance to try new things, to innovate with technology, or develop new sounds. Couple that with an explosion of music technologies, brought about by many of the same reasons, and you have a perfect storm for experimentation.

 Disruption in the way we produce and share music, and ultimately monetise it

2020 will be forever remembered as the year of the online gig/festival. There were very few live festivals allowed anywhere in the world, so festival organisers without deep pockets were forced to diversify or die. Live-streamed performances proved a lifeline for promoters, performers and music fans alike. We had Isolation Festival, iHeartRadio Festival, BBC2’s Live at Home, even a virtual Notting Hill Carnival. And many festivals like Glastonbury and Reading & Leeds showed extensive archive footage.  

I believe these experiences will make musicians and festival organisers think differently about how they monetise in the future. Of course, nothing substitutes for a warm, overpriced beer in a muddy field, but I do like some of the innovative new technologies that we’ll probably see extend into the ‘new normal’. One example is Multiview Media, which allows music fans to switch between camera angles seamlessly while watching live performances. 

We also saw innovation around how music was created. For example, Snow Patrol’s Gary Lightbody wrote his latest EP in collaboration with his fans over Instagram Live during lockdown. Crowdsourcing in music was already happening, but it’s taken on a new meaning in 2020. Many craved a feeling of being a part of something, or being connected to other humans when they couldn't be physically present.  

 Equipment will get smaller

My final prediction is that music equipment itself will get smaller. As bedrooms/lounges/kitchens become the new studios, musical equipment will accordingly reduce in size to accommodate, which any roadie will tell you is a blessing for live gigs as well!

Here are some of our favourite music gear companies that have helped reduce the size of equipment, or reduce the barrier to entry for a musician looking to make or record music:

Teenage Engineering, who produce the pocket operator modular series - “the next generation of portable instruments”

Native Instruments, who recently received a $59m investment to make music creation more accessible

Korg, who are making equipment small enough for the Borrowers to use, like their amazing compact keyboard, analogue loop synth and their MS-20 monophonic synthesizer

Lumi, which is revolutionising the way we learn to play the piano 

MOD Devices, my own company, develops powerful, open source black boxes, replacing the need for any mix of synthesisers, effects pedals and computers.

  They say it takes 66 days of doing something in a new way before it becomes a habit. This is why I believe the effects of 2020’s lockdowns will be long lasting, and why commentators are so confident that our normality has changed forever. This presents both challenges and opportunities for the music industry. As an innovator, I’m excited about the opportunities.

The Chase Files Daily Newscap 8/6/2020

Good Morning #realdreamchasers! Here is your daily news cap Monday 8th June, 2020. There is a lot to read and digest so take your time. Remember you can read full articles via Barbados Government Information Service (BGIS), Barbados Today (BT), or by purchasing a Daily Nation Newspaper (DN).

BID TO STAGE PROTEST MARCH SATURDAY - THE TWO MEN who organised a picket outside the United States Embassy on Saturday to protest racism and injustice against black people, but which was cut short by police over a numbers violation, will be going at it again this weekend. This time, says president of the Caribbean Movement for Peace and Integration, David Denny, who organised the event with attorney Lalu Hanuman, they will be applying for a permit to conduct a march, instead of just a picket, near the embassy in Wildey, St Michael, on Saturday. Denny said on June 7 that he would be seeking to be allowed 200 protesters, with the march starting from the old Banks Breweries building and ending just in front the embassy. He said all interested people should wear masks, be prepared to practise physical distancing and follow other protocols the Commissioner of Police might point out.  (DN)

ONE DEAD, TWO INJURED IN SUNDAY SHOOTING - One man is dead, another is in stable condition and a third is undergoing surgery at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital after two separate shooting incidents on Sunday. Police spokesman acting station sergeant Michael Blackman appealed to members of the public for information on the incidents which occurred at Pioneer Road, Bush Hall and Country Road, both in St Michael. The body of an adult male, who has not been named, was discovered at Pioneer Road after police responded to reports of shots being fired. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene. Meanwhile, one man is said to be in stable condition and another is undergoing surgery at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEH) in a separate incident at Country Road. Police say they were among a group of men who were liming outside of a residence there when they were reportedly attacked by a group of men wearing masks. The two injured men were transported to the QEH by private motor vehicles. Anyone who may have information that can assist with these investigations is asked to contact Police Emergency at 211 Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIPS (8477) District ‘A’ Police Station at 430-7242 or any Police Station.  (PR/SAT)

GUN AND AMMO MATTER RESUMES –The prosecution will respond tomorrow when the gun and ammunition matter against David Wayne Harper continues in the No. 2 Supreme Court. Harper, 49, a painter, of Bibby’s Lane, St Michael, was back in court last Friday before Justice Randall Worrell after he had pleaded guilty, in May, to having a 9mm semi-automatic firearm and seven bullets on May 26, 2017. “I apologise for the offence,” said Harper, who has spent 1 094 days on remand. Attorney Sian Lange told the court her client made a bad decision in taking up the gun. However, she contended the offences showed no sophistication, that Harper had no previous convictions and had apologised for his actions. “Mr Harper went above and beyond to get his matters before the High Court. He cooperated with police and he was assessed as having a low risk of re-offending,” Lange said. (DN)

PRAISES IN CHURCH AGAIN –While most denominations did not open their doors on June 7, at least two churches welcomed their members back. New Dimensions Ministries in Barbarees Hill, and Covenant Life Teaching Centre in Green Hill, both in St Michael, held in-person services. However, neither was taking any chances as there was strict enforcement of temperature checks, physical distancing, hand sanitising, mask wearing and information gathering on each member and visitor. Government recently issued a list of restrictions as part of the Emergency Management (COVID-19) Churches Directive 2020, some of which rubbed church leaders the wrong way, especially as it came to communion. After meetings and consultations some adjustments were made, but most churches opted to remain closed for now and only have online streaming services as they said they still needed time before they could reopen fully. (DN)

CHANGES IN PETROLEUM PRICES TO TAKE EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT - The retail prices of gasoline, diesel and kerosene will decrease, effective midnight, tonight. Gasoline will be adjusted from $3.09 per litre to $2.80 per litre, which represents a decrease of 29 cents; the price of diesel will drop by 23 cents, from $2.52 per litre to $2.29 per litre, and kerosene will go from 73 cents per litre to 63 cents per litre, a reduction of 10 cents. These price adjustments are in keeping with Government’s policy of allowing retail prices to be reflective of those on the international market.  (BGIS)

UPDATE: BWA COMPLETES REPAIRS TO BELLE GULLY BURST MAIN - The Barbados Water Authority (BWA) has completed repairs to the burst nine-inch main in Belle Gully, St Michael. BWA has reminded customers in the affected areas in St Michael and Christ Church that “even though the repairs are complete, it will take some time for the water pressure within the distribution network to return to normal”. “The Authority’s personnel will also be monitoring this particular main (an older main) closely should another rupture occur,” according to a statement from the BWA.Water tankers will continue to assist residents in the affected areas. BWA also said customers in parts of St Michael, St James and St Thomas who are supplied by the Shop Hill, St Thomas section of the network may experience low water pressure or outages. This is a result of BWA having been forced to stop pumping from its station at Lodge Hill, St Michael due to low reservoir levels.  (DN)

RESCUED DOG RECOVERING - A dog that was rescued on Bush Hall Main Road, St Michael, a week ago, after being involved in an accident is recovering at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA). The small brown canine had been rescued by a police officer and Nation photographer Sandy Pitt from the middle of the street last Sunday. It was taken in by the RSPCA’s Chief Inspector Wayne Norville.During the week, Barbadians were active on the Nation’s social media platforms trying to ascertain the dog’s condition after its rescue was posted. The Sunday Sun visited the RSPCA on June 6, where clinic manager Charmaine Hatcher said X-rays on the dog’s shoulder and leg showed there were no broken bones. Though limping and keeping her right front leg lifted, the dog is expected to make a full recovery, the veterinary nurse said. “It’s doing really well, and very nervous to the point she just wets herself every time we try to have physical contact with her. She is still favouring her right leg. There are no breaks, but she definitely will not use it at this time. Whether she was abused prior to the accident, we have no idea, but she is very nervous when it comes to human contact, which is changing rapidly,” the clinic manager said. Hatcher said that for the first two days, the dog wouldn’t allow people to pick her up, but that changed as last week progressed. “No one has come forward for her, but if no one does, we would love to find her a beautiful home,” Hatcher said. (DN)

REUTERS: COVID-19 DEATHS GLOBALLY TOP 400 000 – Global deaths from the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic topped 400 000 on Sunday, as case numbers surge in Brazil and India, according to a Reuters tally. The United States is responsible for about one-quarter of all fatalities but deaths in South America are rapidly rising. The number of deaths linked to COVID-19 in just five months is now equal to the number of people who die annually from malaria, one of the world’s most deadly infectious diseases. Global cases are approaching seven million, with about two million, or 30 per cent, of those cases in the United States. Latin America has the second-largest outbreak with over 15 per cent of cases, according to a Reuters tally. The first COVID-19 death was reported on January 10 in Wuhan, China but it was early April before the death toll passed 100 000, according to the Reuters tally of official reports from governments. It took 24 days to go from 300 000 to 400 000 deaths. The United States has the highest death toll in the world at almost 110 000. Fatalities in Brazil are rising rapidly and the country may overtake the United Kingdom to have the second-largest number of deaths in the world. The total number of deaths is believed to be higher than the officially reported 400 000 as many countries lack supplies to test all victims and some countries do not count deaths outside of a hospital. (Reuters)

The world is facing the rapid spread of the Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic. As we continue to do our part in Barbados please remember to stay home but on the days you have to go out wear your masks, practice social distancing (stand 6-10 feet away from each other), practice good daily hygiene, eat healthy, exercise and keep your mind active. There are 207 days left in the year Shalom!  Follow us on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram for your daily news. #thechasefiles #dailynewscaps #bajannewscaps #newsinanutshell #coronavirusinbarbados #nationalresponse #dailynews #thechasefilesblog

6 Weird Dating Traditions In History That Might Actually Make You Grateful For Tinder

“We hear a lot about the so-called "golden age" of dating — the early '50s and '60s, where men brought flowers, opened doors, and generally behaved as if their date was a piece of fine china without any agency — and how modern casual attitudes have made the process both less formal and less magical...Throughout history, people have concocted all kinds of ways to express love and propose marriage in the confines of their societies — and they've had to get very inventive.

Medieval romantic tradition, for instance, was dominated by courtly love, which required men to poetically idealize ladies who were completely inaccessible or out of their league (which usually meant either "married" or "dead"). They'd express their abject servitude to their lady at great length, and enjoy the dramas of an impossible love, without actually requiring anybody to do anything. And from 1740 to 1820, English literature was flooded with novels by women about how confusing courtship was, and how to do it properly.

Men Whittling Love Spoons

Welsh "love spoons" date back to the early 17th century, and were designed to be made out of a single piece of wood to demonstrate the carver's prowess...There was a language to these love spoons: Flowers, hearts and locks and keys were pretty self-explanatory, but a wheel meant "I will work for you," while putting a twist in the wood meant "togetherness 4ever."

Year-Long Competitions

One of the most famous bride competitions, from the historian Herodotus, involved the king Cleisthenes, who made his daughter's suitors compete for an entire year.

Coded Fan Language

In the 18th and 19th centuries in Europe, a "fan language" developed for women to be able to communicate to interested parties without opening their mouths. Folding hand fans were used to send signals as various as "Do not betray our secret" (covering your left ear with an open fan)...and "Do you love me?" (presenting a shut fan).

Sack Cuddling

[A] practice called bundling appeared in the 19th century (supposedly in the Netherlands before spreading to Britain and Pennsylvania) involving putting prospective couples in two sacks and letting them "sleep" together. It was actually rather kind; rather than letting two strangers marry, each partner was put inside a sack, and they were allowed to get to know each other, talk, and even spoon — without any premarital hanky-panky.

Victorian Dance Cards

Nobody did regimented courtship like the Victorians...The most common courting ritual was the giving of cards at dances, which were the main mixing grounds for different genders among the Victorian English. Men filled out their names on a woman's dance card (basically a roster), which she wore delicately tied around her wrist, and left their personal calling cards if they wished to call on her at home at a later point.If the woman liked what she saw, she gave him her card, and the courtship was on.

 Sexy Belts

There was a trend in the Italian Renaissance for prospective lovers to give their lady friends erotically inscribed belts. Belts pop up in a lot of poetry of the time, as symbols of sexuality and beauty which women of all societal positions could wear and receive as gifts: at one point in Boccaccio's Decameron , a woman seduces a man by giving him her belt...There's a particularly famous belt from Italy which was presumably given to a woman, with a highly erotic poem embroidered on the inside; it begins "I will burn even as a phoenix/with the fire of your kisses/and will die."

Lonely hearts and holiday flings: a history of dating

“[T]he history of dating...how similar the problems of today are to the 1930s, the 1840s, and even the 1780s. From worrying about a partner’s financial standing, or whether someone was going to stick around long enough for you to have children with them, to persuading your parents they are indeed a good fit, the means by which we go about finding love may have changed, but not the hopes, dreams and anxieties we’ve had about discovering it.

In the Regency era, for example, the advice was clear: looks matter but value them at the peril of your long-term happiness...throughout history, grooming and dressing as well as you possibly can has always been a better strategy than ruminating on what you don’t have.”

“Once you were suitably styled, you needed to get a date’s attention. The Georgians were mad for ‘lonely hearts’ adverts, which they would write and post via newspapers including the Times, later in matrimonial gazettes, circulated around London’s coffee houses, while the Victorians settled on the idea of the marriage bureau, an agency designed to match the middle classes, via photos and details about their hobbies.

In the flesh, of course, the best seduction tool has always been dancing. From Regency square dancing to secret Victorian drag balls, from the 1920s ‘turkey trot’ to the 1990s acid house rave scene, the vertical expression of the horizontal desire has rarely failed a trier.”

“But if you couldn’t dance, witty conversation and excellent manners have always served as a good substitute. Meeting a lady on the street in Victorian England was a fraught business...Middle-class Victorians embraced a complicated ritual of giving out calling cards, and of making home visits according to a strict etiquette. However, even if you succeeded getting an audience with your potential amour, you would never be left unattended. Chaperones were in full force until the First World War, when the exodus of Britain’s young men left women to parry and party on their own.”

“When we think of the early 20th century, we may imagine courting couples meeting one another on realistic terms, their expectations untroubled by the imagery of dream homes and impossibly honed bodies that haunt contemporary media. However, we’ve always idealised glamour. From the birth of the celebrity-courted gossip column in the 1920s and the boom in cinema from the 1930s, our aspiration to marry the richest and most beautiful has long intruded upon our daily contentment...the Victorians even had the own version of Instagram, exchanging carte de visites – small portrait prints which would be organised into albums also containing images of celebrities and royalty. These albums were exchanged in flirtation but also as a means of asserting one’s social standing. The trick was to guess whether someone showcasing a royal portrait had in fact met the royal in question.”

“Perhaps the biggest surprise about our dating history is that pre-marital sex has often been the norm for most people. Apart from the revival of a long-practised behaviour called ‘bundling’ – cuddling with clothes on – which was a response to the 1834 Poor Law penalising women who found themselves pregnant as single mothers...Marie Stopes wrote her sex manual Married Love in 1918...advocated the benefits of conjugal love, and physical pleasure within marriage. “I paid such a terrible price for sex-ignorance...that I feel knowledge gained at such a cost should be placed at the service of humanity.”

“In the 1930s, Marjorie Hillis, the author of Live Alone and Like it...acknowledging that plenty of single ladies were inviting gentleman callers back to their homes at night, and that societal attitudes were changing: “A woman’s honour is no longer mentioned with bated breath and protected by her father, her brother and the community. It is now her own affair.”

Meanwhile, in the 1960s, ‘the pill’ didn’t quite provide the immediate revolution it has been credited with. Originally it was only prescribed to married women, and even in the 1970s, doctors could refuse women a prescription on moral grounds...the downside of women procuring the pill was that men, who had originally assumed responsibility for acquiring condoms, stopped taking as much responsibility for contraception.”

“The bicycle, meanwhile, also improved romantic opportunities. Contrary to the tricycle, which saw women wearing full skirts and accompanied by a chaperone...Etiquette guides of the period recognised that people could now pay “surprise visits … by moonlight” and that seaside flirtations could be enhanced by romantic bike rides together. While there was fear about exactly what kind of excitations might be invoked by the bike riding, 1897’s Manners for Men advised that men encountering female cyclists “help ladies as much as possible by pushing their machines up the hills for them”.

“In the 1930s middle-class women that found themselves ‘left on the shelf’ still travelled to colonial India in search of husbands. Nicknamed ‘the fishing fleet’, these women travelled by boat to colonial outposts along with ambitious young men seeking work. In some cases, they’d often coupled up before the vessel had even docked...Later, the film Shirley Valentine would inspire a flock of similarly inclined women, including female sex tourists who were courted by young Caribbean men called ‘rastitudes’, and men who sought mail-order brides, on a ‘no-try-before-buy’ basis.”

”As for the future of dating? Well, there’s one thing for sure – it’s not in decline like marriage, which, in 2013, was nearly back down to its 2008 all-time lowest level since 1895. Instead, dating is fast becoming our favourite global hobby. And in an increasingly competitive marketplace, we’ll need new tricks up our sleeves in order to compete for the best paramours.”

Put down that phone! Here’s how to meet potential dates without apps.

“If you want to meet someone “in the wild,” putting some effort into making that introduction happen and not just hoping for a chance encounter is key. Here are a few tips:

Don’t rely on serendipity

“counting on serendipity to meet someone isn’t always fruitful...If you go into every situation with the expectation of meeting the love of your life, you’re most likely going to be let down. Instead, focus on expanding your social network and giving yourself opportunities to meet people.”

Sign up for an (ideally new) activity

“If you want to meet someone organically, increase the chances of it actually happening by going to places that open you up to meeting people with shared interests.”

Go to events alone

“While bringing a friend along may seem like the most natural thing to do when going to a social event...You’re more likely to get out of your comfort zone and talk to people if you have to.”

Use body language that’ll help

“The key to meeting someone is looking like you actually want to meet someone...First things first – smile...“Who cares if you look like you have nothing to do...It’s amazing what you can do when you’re not looking at your phone...You can have a more intimate conversation when you’re closer, next to each other...Across feels more like an interview.” 

If you’re stuck for a pickup line, look around you

“If someone does catch your eye, try starting a conversation that’s relevant to the situation. Typically, people will be pretty transparent about their feelings. “If they talk to you for a long period of time, they’re probably interested...And if they’re in a relationship, they’ll probably bring up their significant other in conversation.” When in doubt, you can always just flat out ask them out...”

Take risks

“[D]on’t expect that the first person you approach is going to end up being the father of your child, or you’ll be sorely disappointed. The most important part of being open to meeting people is being open to rejection...After all, all you need is one to work out.”

I did a color swatch for my D&D character Rodjain, a Lv 5 hill dwarf paladin, on my concept drawing of her because one of our party members in an amazing artist irl and needed to know how I imagined the coloring so she could make a pixel token of her. Unfortunately she’s pictured here without Honeydew, her Giant Goat steed (fey), but I’ll leave that up to your imagination (^_-) This is a really basic coloring done on an online Photoshop-esque app Pixlr, but I’m so pleased with how it turned out that I wanted to post it somewhere because HEY LOOK I DID A THING!!

I also have been struggling to enjoy this campaign, so I thought I’d leave my feelings somewhere where no one in the party would find it, because while it’s been a really good time for them (and I hope it continues to be a really good time for them), for me it has been one hell of a roller-coaster ride over the first two sessions. There’s some heavy stuff under the cut, so check the tags first!

This campaign is run by one of my very near and dear friends, someone I never thought I’d be close with who has nonetheless touched me in a way few people have. I am so glad that it’s someone I’m close with, as I wouldn’t have opened up to someone any less caring for me or understanding of where I’m coming from. I will state this before I go any further: the world itself is immensely fascinating. Very rarely do I sit down and try to draw out aspects of a fantasy world or write the mythos of a pantheon of their gods; this world that my friend has created has brought me inspiration to create, a feeling I have not experienced for as long a stretch of time as I have now. Amidst all the heartrending news that has reached me through this screen over the past month, putting my energy into forming parts of this campaign has allowed me some catharsis. It doesn’t matter if these things I’ve created are never seen in-game. Perhaps this is what drives people sometimes to further adapting established media? It’s wholly unknown to me, and yet I had hoped that this catharsis would extend into the time spent interacting with the world, the thrill of having an avatar through which to explore more facets.

But far from this hope, the sessions have only served to dampen my desire to play any further. 

Our first instruction for our characters was that their villages had been razed and everyone there killed by marauders. In imagining what this might do to my character, I saw her taking on trauma, reoccuring nightmares and perhaps even difficulty fighting if the battle became too much like her memories of her village being reduced to smoke. I though my own, similar responses when I think back to my family dynamics would lend some realism when I tried to play her. Essentially she was meant to have PTSD and yet still work through it for her chosen cause: in aid of the Old Gods that had given her comfort as she watched her village slowly crumble even before the marauders appeared.

Through my interactions through her in the game, however, I’ve found that PTSD is only a minor problems to her, if at all. I’m the one with that problem. Every time I have to play with my friend who has created a character whose personality very closely resembles my brother, the realization that comes with it makes it difficult to stay in the game. Unexpectedly, the difficulty of communicating in a group made me feel inadequate again, after I’d built my self-esteem up living on my own in Japan. The initial surprise and the anger that came in the first session left me crying and my brain in physical pain from suppressing the response to my anger and continuing on like nothing had happened for the remaining of our 4 hour session. It lingered for days, never disappearing and always threatening to spill over as it did when I consulted my mother and my thoughtful DM about what I had experienced.

In those days following the pain and guilt and the subsequent negative emotions that sprouted around the thought of playing again, I discovered something had changed for my character, too. Trauma was not the thing that haunted her. It was a penchant towards suicide.

I could see how clearly she would do it: to slip out in the middle of the night and never be seen again by her party members, to purchase a dagger on the off-chance that she might actually use it. But Rodjain is a fighter (well...a paladin, actually, but you get the expression); she’s not easily succumbed to it in the year following her entire life changing, and she wouldn’t do it yet.

No, Rodjain is suicidal in the way that someone with reckless abandon is. Everything is gone, and yet she remains, charged by the end of the first session by her beloved Old Gods with a task of some importance to them. She would not go out now. Not by her own hand. Not unless it was in service to them. She is brave in the face of danger, but only as it provides a chance on diverging paths: a way forward for her gods, and a way out of her realm to the gods. This I discovered in the second session, as she faced a wyvern in conversation only inches from her face and argued in favor of killing a green dragon. She did this for her honor, her word, and without care if death should take her. The trauma I have seeks to keep me alive when I feel danger about; hers serves to remove that fear and push her closer to it.

Regret hangs heavy in my heart, that I am this cruel god to her who in my own suffering would have her die so that I might leave the campaign without needing her to refuse this task set on her, a mission from her actual gods. There is regret that I cared too much on the first session, and that I distanced myself too much in the second. Regret in the boredom I feel from detaching, the tears when it is still not far enough. More often have I thought of myself closer to Fierne, the Goddess of Light in her pantheon but known for her tears and withdrawal, than Jaral, the Goddess of Justice who Rodjain follows.

In the end, I know not what happens. Maybe Rodjain will survive, and maybe each session will become more bearable. But first we have to fight that dragon, both the huge green one in its cave and the smaller one that gnaws in our linked hearts.

Republican groups vow to stop buying Twitter ads until McConnell campaign account is unfrozen(YEAH, I HOPE THE SNOWFLAKE ❄ GOP STAYS OFF TWITTER) You break the rules you pay the consequences.

By Felicia Sonmez | Published August 8 at 6:23 PM | Washington Post | Posted August 9, 2019

A move by Twitter to freeze the account of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s campaign has prompted a backlash by President Trump’s campaign and national Republican groups, which have vowed to stop buying ads on the social media platform until the account is unfrozen.

On Wednesday, Twitter locked McConnell’s campaign account from further activity as punishment for its sharing of a video of protesters screaming obscenities outside the Kentucky Republican’s home. The social media company said it will not unlock @Team_Mitch unless it agrees to remove the video.

Officials for the Trump campaign, the National Republican Committee, and the Republican Senate and House campaign arms accused Twitter of bias and tweeted Thursday that their organizations are withholding their advertising dollars until the issue is resolved.

“#MassacreMitch trended on @Twitter for a full day, and they did nothing,” Kevin McLaughlin, executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said in a tweet. “Someone threatens to stab the Majority Leader, @TeamMitch posts the video and THEY get locked out. @NRSC is not spending $ until this is adequately addressed.”

Richard Walters, chief of staff for the RNC, shared McLaughlin’s post and added: “The @GOP and @TeamTrump stand with the @Team_Mitch and the @NRSC. Any future ad $ either organization was planning to spend with @Twitter has been halted until they address this disgusting bias.”

The National Republican Congressional Committee soon followed suit, as did Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), a frequent critic of the social media platform, who calledthe move “unbelievable even for Twitter.”

A Twitter spokesperson declined to comment on the Republicans’ plans to halt their ad spending.

“The users were temporarily locked out of their accounts for a Tweet that violated our violent threats policy, specifically threats involving physical safety,” the spokesperson said.

McConnell’s campaign manager, Kevin Golden, accused Twitter of employing a double standard.

“We firmly believe that if a platform allows #massacremitch to trend but locks our account because we posted threats made against him, there is something deeply wrong with that platform,” Golden said Thursday, referring to a hashtag used by critics blaming McConnell for blocking stricter gun laws.

In a radio interview early Thursday evening, McConnell said his campaign is in a “major war” with Twitter.

“The point we wanted to make is, Twitter’s perfectly fine with carrying ‘#MassacreMitch,’ which is obviously an invitation to violence,” McConnell said on Louisville-based station WHAS. “But when those kind of words are directed at me, they shut us down and locked our account down. So we’re in a major war with them and they haven’t, they haven’t given up yet.”

He added that the episode reveals the “left-wing tilt of these companies.”

“And I think that’s, let’s say, selective enforcement of their views about who ought to be influential in the political discourse in this country,” he said.

Republicans have in recent years sharply criticized Twitter, Google, Facebook and other Internet companies, arguing that they have silenced the voices of conservatives.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to investigate the companies, sparking hearings and similar calls for tough new laws among Republicans on Capitol Hill. At a White House summit last month, the president used his bully pulpit to accuse the companies of “terrible bias.” Trump has not provided evidence for his allegations, and critics contended that the event gave a prominent stage to some of the Internet’s most controversial, incendiary voices.

The video that prompted Twitter to lock McConnell’s campaign account shows a group of protesters gathered outside the senator’s Louisville home on Monday. A woman, identified by the Louisville Courier-Journal as Black Lives Matter Louisville leader Chanelle Helm, is heard on the video mocking McConnell’s recent shoulder injury and saying he “should have broken his little, raggedy, wrinkled-ass neck.”

She then yells, “Just stab the m----- f----- in the heart, please.” Someone also yells, “Die!”

A Twitter spokesperson told The Washington Post on Wednesday that McConnell’s account had been frozen “for a tweet that violated our violent threats policy, specifically threats involving physical safety.” The social media company’s rules state that a tweet “may not threaten violence against an individual or a group of people.”

At the end of Thursday’s radio interview, McConnell said he had a message for the protesters who have been gathering outside his house.

“I will not be intimidated by you people, not a chance,” he said. “Not a single thing you do is going to alter how I operate on behalf of my constituents or the country, for whom I have a significant amount of responsibility.”

“Brexit boxes.”

It has started, the media and social media ‘stockpiling’ articles are creeping in. Last week, I saw a couple of articles that made me shake my head sadly, get a bit indignant, and then remember that I have several boxes of ‘spare’ food upstairs. I keep trying to convince myself it’s not ‘really’ hoarding, just a reluctance to throw away usable food. It is hoarding. During the uncertainty of 17 months waiting to see if I was disabled-enough for PIP, I was on a very limited budget, and I was ‘saving’ more food than I was eating. Counter-productive, because low blood sugar has a tendency to exacerbate the fatigue elements of my disability, and it can’t have done my mental health much good. (There have been a couple of articles in the Guardian about how unfit-for-purpose DWP’s processes for people with poor mental health are, I have the double-whammy of fluctuating mental health, and physical brain injuries, nobody knows which box to tick, because I don’t align with an either/or.) 

Yes, some of it will be click-bait scaremongering. I was indignant when I read the article about the company selling ‘Emergency ration packs’ for £300, you really wouldn’t want to live on the vacuum-sealed ‘meals ready to eat’ in anything but an emergency, they’re not particularly palatable. “More money than sense.”, I thought, and moved on to the next article, chuntering at the thought that some people would be able to click ‘buy now’, throw the £300 at the box, and then probably leave it, gathering dust, unused. The next article I read provoked a fairly similar response, ordinary people, buying a few extra items in each grocery-shop. Fine, Brenda, you go ahead and buy your favourite brand of baked beans, in case the supply is interrupted, heavens forbid you should have to change brands. Which is what you’ll end up doing once you’ve eaten your stockpiled ones, you mad cow. Indignant, again, it’s the ‘Brits abroad’ thing, taking their own tea-bags on holiday, because they might not like the taste of ‘foreign’ ones. 

Good grief, there’s wintry weather forecast for the end of this month, as well (funny how that happens in winter, isn’t it?) bread and milk, it’s always bread and milk that runs out, because Brenda buys twice as much at the first hint of snow. Milk sandwiches all round, because bread and milk are probably the most perishable of food-stuffs. (I have a bag of powdered milk for emergencies, like the days when I’m too disabled to make it to the corner shop without falling over. I also have a bit of a jagged fingernail, it ripped as I was trying to get the lid off my multi-vitamins, Alanis has nothing on me.) The bread and milk will run out, like it always does when it snows, and the panicky-types will pop up on Fakebook, adding to the bread-pocalypse by sharing photographs of empty shelves, or directing people to which shops have bread. “Tesco have bread, but they’re only allowing two loaves per person!” and the like. Brenda, are you going to eat two loaves of bread? The Walking Dead could have been inspired by bread-obsessed British people during snow-storms.

When the bread and milk runs out, which it will, there’s a fair chance of the doom-mongers deciding to ramp up the stockpiling in general. Evolution-wise, that’s probably a throw-back, winter, and the ‘hungry gap’ where nothing much is growing does lend itself to that siege mentality. Brenda sticking a couple of extra multi-packs of brand-X beans in her Ocado delivery isn’t really going to have much of an impact on supplies, it’s the rural areas that will be hit. If Tarquin and Jocasta snaffle up all of the beans in the ‘quaint’ village shop, and take them home in their 4x4, to put them with the other beans, that’s no-beans left for single-parent Tracey, or pensioner Doris. I poke fun at this village (which is a town), for being ‘out in the sticks’, in reality, I’m about 3 miles from a motorway, and, ironically, the local council’s massive grit-store. The main road will (eventually) be gritted, so Tesco will only have a couple of days of “What, no bread?”. For the people who can get there. My physical capabilities fluctuate, a combination of Arthritis, Raynaud’s and Vertigo make going out in deep snow, or ice “A no from me.” I also live half-way up a hill, good for flooding-avoidance, less good for snow and ice, there is no flat route by road to most of this housing estate, and a large proportion of the village/town, when the roads are icy, we’re cut off. The supermarket I use for my online grocery order and delivery is on the other side of the motorway, the delivery vans will be able to get out onto the main road, but I’d estimate that at least 50% of the village will be inaccessible by road if we have a big freeze.   

It’ll either snow, or it won’t, and the roads will either be a problem, or they won’t. Winter IS coming, but my heating works for the first time in ages, and I have a large collection of jumpers and blankets. (I’ve also set off a batch of home-brew cider. Priorities, and the stack of apple juice I was accumulating on top of my fridge probably was both a fire hazard, and a collapse-risk.)

My ‘Brexit boxes’ aren’t the surplus dried beans and rice I accumulated during the precarious PIP assessment process. (Eye-roll at my Work-Coach, who doesn’t cook or shop, and thought I meant baked beans, when I told her I was sick of the sight of beans. I don’t buy baked beans, I don’t like them enough to shell out the extra money on fancy ones with no gluten, onion-powder, vinegar, or artificial sweeteners in them, my digestive tract is a tyrant.) My Brexit boxes contain compost, seeds, plant-pots, and a bloody poly-tunnel. I’m fairly certain I’ll invent some new swear-words, when I try to assemble a 3m x 2m x 1.75m poly-tunnel on my own, with one functional hand, and brain injuries. I’ve already done the first dig-over of my vegetable plots, the ex father-in-law would have conniptions if he saw the lumpen sods I’ve left for the birds and frost to break up. (Very set in his ways, that one, my ‘instinctive’ gardening methods were always at odds with his regimented by-the-book ones.) 

It’s not a ‘dig for victory’ project, and I’ve found it very hard not to rip the faces off well-meaning individuals with their platitudes of “It’s good that you have a hobby!” Full disclosure, buried in amongst all of this waffle, I’ve spent chunks of the last 2 years not particularly caring whether I lived or died. I was never at risk of starvation, but I was hideously malnourished, ironic, given that I’m now as heavy as I was full-term pregnant. “Any hobbies, any pets?” I know where you’re going with that line of questioning, medics and professionals. ‘Caring responsibilities’, some of us stay alive because other things will die if we don’t. I do have a few interests that ‘spark joy’, war on slugs and blackbirds isn’t one of them, but, if I didn’t tend to the plants, they would die, and that would be my fault. Last year, three pumpkins saved my life.

This year, I’ll be ramping up my planting, I probably have 40+ different kinds of seeds, and I’m steadily planning what will go where. Brexit is likely to hit supply-lines, so, whatever fruit and vegetables we can’t grow domestically will be less-available, and more expensive. I don’t fancy rickets or scurvy on top of my plethora of other ailments. My son and I managed to eat reasonably well last year, there was an odd sense of accomplishment when he asked if there was any parsley in the herb-cupboard, and I replied “Probably, but I can pick you some fresh from the garden.” (Glossing over the time when he asked if there was any red wine he could use in a sauce, and I admitted to having a bottle hidden in my bedroom, bedroom-wine is bad.) There’s no “I’m alright, Jack.” angle to this, both of my neighbours have small children, I’m going to plant extra crops, ‘just in case’, it won’t cost me anything extra, the seeds are already purchased, and I deliberately went several sizes bigger than I needed with the poly-tunnel. I’m certainly no Mother Theresa, and it’s hardly a community garden project, but the nice-neighbours can bring their little ones to pick peas, tomatoes, strawberries and such. The other neighbours are more likely to have boxes of courgettes left on their doorstep at 3am, until they stop messing with my bin, and hogging my drive.

Vote Democrat to Restore ObamaCare taxes on the lower class • Dustin Koellhoffer • iPatriot

Will Americans vote to keep making America great again or restore Obammunism?  Will Americans stand for law and order or endorse foreign invaders and criminals?  Will Americans vote for righteousness or vote stupidly to allow the rule of the mob?

Democrats would reverse all of the gains President Trump has made in jobs, trade, and deregulation.  They would destroy all the advances he has made in diplomacy to bring our allies back into the fold and beat down our enemies.  They would restore Nancy Pelosi to the speakership again and, as she did after gaining power in 2006, she will again nuke the economy two years later to blame the Republicans to get a Democrat elected president.  Democrats wrongly predicted that the Stock Market would crash if Trump were elected.  The opposite is true.

Tax cuts and deregulation did not inspire people to invest in America’s future because they believed that Trump would take money from the poor and give it to the rich.  The ousting of Hillary and Obama brought Americans hope once again to achieve the American Dream without having the government steal it out from under them.  The result is the lowest unemployment rates in fifty years and job growth opposite of what Obama declared to be the new normal.

Liberals add the word “justice” to their causes to conceal their injustices.  Social Justice and Environmental Justice are euphemisms for leftist racism promoting criminals and their economic policy promoting socialist communism.  Liberals want to hold conservatives criminally responsible for their words.  The only words that are criminal are words advocating physical violence which is what liberals have been doing in promoting their own racist fascist hate of Republicans and white Christian men.

“Democrats are openly encouraging millions of illegal aliens to break our laws.  A Republican Congress means more jobs and less crime.  A Democrat Congress means more crime and less jobs.  It’s that simple.” – President Trump

Keep making America great again

“We’re deciding between two very disparate viewpoints of what America should be.  It’s either going to be run by the left who believes in mob rule, radicalized feminism, chasing congressmen and conservatives out of restaurants, or we’re going to vote for the founding principles and Constitution and what our Founding Fathers laid out for this country.” – Candace Owens

Democrats are pulling out all the stops in their voter fraud campaign including allowing felons and foreigners to vote at Democrat polling stations.  This cannot be allowed to make the rules in America.  A liberal wrote on my blog that all I do is spread propaganda.  He said this right after declaring that my description of Democrat budget policy math is incomprehensible, and then described Trump as a racist “sending 15,000,000 troops to the border to stop a few thousand women and children seeking refuge.”  If this is the extent of liberal’s understanding of math and the situation on the border where tens of thousands of men are trying to invade our country, it is no wonder they are so easily duped by Democrats.

Real Democrat Propaganda

Leftist Media Gaslights America

Democrats are saying, “He’s [Trump] energized the radical right in our country.”

“At the center an unapologetically incendiary President untrammeled by the traditional norms of civility.” – George Stephanopoulos

The “radical right” of which they speak are the American people who stand for law and order over Democrat’s mobs and their foreign invaders.  Trump’s “incivility” is speaking truth to Democrat power exposing their lies to take away their power to deceive and refusing to concede to their threats.  American patriot’s hearts are swollen with pride at the first Republican since Ronaldus Magnus to stand up against the Democrat propaganda machine and declare the truth openly and boldly and without apology.  Donald Trump bows to no liars.

Democrats are now running to the microphones to declare how they support President Trump defending our borders and covering up the fact that they have been declaring our borders should be open to all.  Their only intent is to dupe the ignorant with their lies that their only policy is to hate Trump, impeach Trump, destroy what he has built in the last two years restoring America’s greatness and turn America back to the economic malaise of Obammunism.  No one is running on the disaster that was ObamaCare’s largest tax increase on the middle and lower classes in history.  They are producing their age-old propaganda that Republicans will take away Social Security and Medicare to leave people to die in the streets.  Who still falls for this?

“Obama is the only Democrat we can find who likes the Trump economy because he’s trying to take credit for it.” – Kellyanne Conway

Obama nuked economy in 2008 wants credit for Trump’s boom

“If you’re black and vote Republican, you’re a traitor to your race!” – Black Democrats

I don’t know what to think of the leftist bigots who believe voting for the former slave masters of their ancestors is somehow endorsing their race.  As for me, I can’t betray my race unless space aliens attack and I join with them because I belong to the human race.  I don’t take sides with anyone because of their race, creed, or sex.  Like the Founders, my ideology is founded in Jesus the Christ.  I’m not a traitor to anything unless I take sides with evil, in which case I would be a traitor to God and myself.  I am an opponent of the lies and bigotry that rule the left in their anti-God, racist, gender hatred of Christian white men.  Christian white men are the people who founded this great nation.  Christian white men are the ones who fought and died to eliminate slavery.  Christian white men are the ones who fought and died to end socialist tyranny.  Christian white men are the ones who fight for the people’s rights, not for criminal’s rights.  In the war between good and evil, it is always Christian white men who fight on the side of righteousness.

Christians crushed the Inquisition, Moslems endorse the Jihad

President Trump has put America first and he has the Midas touch to restore American greatness that Obama said was unrightfully taken and that he tried to put in the past.  Putting America first is a requirement of our government.  Not putting those in the world who would come to America to steal and transform her as Democrats do.  America is the hope of the world only if she remains the strong shining city on the hill.  Putting America second is like a rescuer becoming a victim.  The rescuer’s motto is to think before you act so as not to become a victim because victims don’t rescue anyone.  America cannot defend the liberty of other nations if she doesn’t defend her own.

Want to talk about traitors to their race?  Try confronting the descendants of African slaves who now fight to oppress minorities, to coerce them to be racist themselves, and to vote only for the descendants of their ancestor’s masters.  The Democrat Party has not changed since the Founding.  They still lie, cheat, steal, and kill to get their way.  The only vote for liberty, to keep the money you earn, and to be able to live the American Dream is as it has always been – to vote Republican.  Vote Democrat if you want high taxes, fewer jobs, more welfare, open borders, importing foreign invaders, and mob rule by criminals.  The choice is obvious to people of good morals.

There is no Leftist Media Bias!

The Immigrant Crisis is a Creation of the Democrats

Toxic Two-Faced Democrats

Democrats cannot tell the truth.  “Arctic ice will be gone forever by 2013.”  “Hillary will win a 97% chance landslide presidency.”  “Donald Trump colluded with Russians and is a racist fascist.”  Democrat polls say they will win back control of Congress because of the “Obama economy” and open borders.  Democrat polls are so bogus.  The only poll that counts is that made on Election Day.  Go vote Republican.  Repeat 2002 and 2016 and make liberals cry again.

Pedophilia is Being Normalized by the Liberal Media

Having sex with people who are neither physically nor mentally mature enough to consent to it is rape. This is apparently an increasing controversial hill on which to die, but so be it. If you read the left-wing press, whenever they tackle the issue of pedophilia it is unanimous that pedophiles are just misunderstood.

“The current misconception is that every pedophile is a child molester, and if they’re not, it’s just a matter of time. It’s important to show the world that that’s not the case.” https://t.co/rV4SexSO5f

— VICE Canada (@vicecanada) February 8, 2018

When Ender Wiggin was banned from Twitter last December, it wasn’t because he was a far-right troll or Nazi sympathizer. In fact, Wiggin had an army of pizzagaters harassing him all hours of the day, insisting he kill himself right up until the moment his account was disabled on December 14.

That’s because Ender—aka @enderphile—is the pseudonym of a “non-offending” or “anti-contact” pedophile: someone who is attracted to children but claims to be against adult-child sex and child pornography. Inside that community, he’s known as the unofficial leader, and claims he’s been using social media to reduce the stigma associated with pedophilia, showing other pedophiles they can live lives without offending. Jackson Weaver, VICE Magazine

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

VICE used to be awesome. Even after the McInnes era, some of their reporting, articles and video journalism was top notch. Nowadays the company is riddled with sleazeball liberals who can't treat women with politeness and literal endorsements of pedophilia. Worse, it is not just VICE Canada that is as insane as Justin Trudeau. Salon published another self-described "Virtuous Pedophile" in 2015, claiming that he was a poor suffering lamb, who just wants to be loved.

Nice to meet you.  My name is Todd Nickerson, and I’m a pedophile. Does that surprise you? Yeah, not many of us are willing to share our story, for good reason. To confess a sexual attraction to children is to lay claim to the most reviled status on the planet, one that effectively ends any chance you have of living a normal life.  Yet, I’m not the monster you think me to be.

Such degenerates as Todd and those in the VICE article describe themselves as non-offending pedophiles. The natural question then is this- if you are a non-offending pedophile, how would anyone know? The answer is that nobody would know. You would tell nobody. So why are "non-offending pedophiles" identifying themselves?

Jackson Weaver of VICE expends a lot of energy gathering quotes and making the case that kicking wannabe child-molesters off social media platforms is counterproductive, citing that peer support- i.e., other pedophiles- is essential to stop non-offending pedophiles abusing children. However, he also writes of one prominent online pedophile that

"He’s been using social media to reduce the stigma associated with pedophilia."

The unambiguity of his words should tell you all that you need, but let us spell it out, clear as day. Pedophilia must be stigmatized in society. It must never lose its stigma. The very idea that a pedophile should feel without stain is a very dangerous idea indeed. One may feel a certain level of sympathy for the pedophile- I sincerely doubt that anyone would choose this life- but to empathize with them is a path to ruin.  No doubt Weaver and others in the liberal press will deny it, but the agenda here is clear. Leftist activists are using the liberal media to convince people that pedophilia is not immoral.

I had an interesting conversation on Twitter yesterday about the hijab. The hijab, as you know, is not ubiquitous in Islam, nor is it solely Muslims that wear a head covering for modesty. It is almost exclusively Muslims that apply this modesty rule to children, however. The conversation came about in a thread begun by regressive left darling Mike Stuchbery, an unemployed failed supply-teacher-turned-banal-Twitter-chimp who goes on lengthy rambles about how history disproves conservatism, in search of Patreon dollars. The tweet, -which Mike subsequently deleted- was his standard fare of prostrating himself before Islam and coming out against a school administrator who had suggested that girls under the age of eight had no need to preserve their modesty from sexually active men. The administrator, after talking to the community, stepped down.

“Having spoken to our school community we now have a deeper understanding of the matter and have decided to reverse our position with immediate effect.”

Mike supported the people sexualizing kids, in this instance. So did some of his followers, who stated that no-one should force girls to wear anything they didn't want to, but nor should they be forbidden from wearing things that they did want to wear. I contend that as a culturally mandated practice, the hijab is a forced item- and this brought us to the topic of agency in children. We have rules about what children can and cannot do because they do not possess the experience or ability to comprehend consequences that adults are supposed to exhibit. This is why we have an age of consent, an age at which one can drive a car or fight in wars. You need to be able to understand what you are getting yourself into.

It is therefore curious to me that the case of the hijab is so contentious in the West. It is a garment for a particular purpose- it is not even a religious purpose per se.  According to the Quran, Muhammad, when encountered with a woman wearing see-through clothing, averted his eyes and told her, "After a young woman reaches the age of puberty, nothing should be seen of her except this and this," motioning to his face and hands. That has been interpreted in many ways.

This is King Abdullah II, the King of Jordan. He is the direct descendant of Prophet Mohammad, and this is his family. The question is, what on earth happened to wearing the Hijab and Burqa? ..... *Cricket Sounds* ..... pic.twitter.com/fqQEUR9Mmr

— Imam of Peace (@Imamofpeace) February 9, 2018

The modesty of grown women is preserved in most Islamic cultures by some form of veil- burqa, niqab, or hijab, depending on just how barbaric the men of that culture may be. In the more advanced places like Iran, you may only be beaten severely by religious police for not wearing your hijab. In Taliban controlled Afghanistan, to go without your niqab means summary gang-rape and murder by stoning or immolation. If you aren't murdered by your rapist, you may not survive being murdered by your own family in an honor killing.

It is the woman's fault in both cases of course because the woman is immodest- a man cannot help but rape everything that he is aroused by, so it is essential that a piece of fabric is used to reinforce the generally accepted global social norm that no raping people in public is allowed. Some particularly advanced societies have even extended this emancipatory ideal to include not raping people in private, too. In all but the most fundamentalist and stone-age interpretations of this cultural practice, the veil is the reserve of adult women- at least by the standards of Islam, which is 9-years-old for some. Sadly, the fundamentalist and stone age ideals are in the ascendant.

Naturally, I oppose the sexualization of children and therefore reject the idea that an eight-year-old-girl (or younger) should be forced by her parents to wear a modesty-protector. She is a child. She is not sexually active, and therefore outside the remit of modesty- unless we are to accept the pedophiles delusion- that children are sexy. The intrinsic concept of modesty is to avoid encouraging sexual attraction in others. Modesty only exists when the person being modest understands that they are sexually attractive- the Islamic understanding is that this is a female power over men, and therfore the female's responsibility.

I am unsure why I am a better feminist in this regard than most feminists, but the world is a crazy place of late. To cut a long story short- the responsibility for being sexually attracted to children does not lie with the immodest child. Childhood is a sacrosanct garden of learning -at least Western civilization has tried to make it so- and must be innocent. This means that parents make responsible choices for the child's actions. This means no hijabs, as it infers that adult men cannot prevent themselves from rape without it being worn by all females of all ages. In essence, the hijab forces children into a sexualized state of being.

And so, we are brought back to the topic of the pedophile acceptance movement. These child molestation acceptance activists will demand that children be given the right to decide for themselves whether they can have sex with adults. This is the agenda which lies underneath the non-offending pedophile movement. If they can normalize attraction to children, goes the rationale, then what next? It is the very spirit of regression to wish Western culture back into the dark ages of marrying old men to prepubescent girls. At least in antiquity, the basis of such unions was for politics or economics, rather than to sate the lusts of mentally ill degenerates.

If you were a secret pedophile who never offended, why would you tell anyone? Perhaps there is the Catholic confessional route to salvation at play but surely there are few other benefits to proclaiming yourself as a theoretical child molester. The only logical -if logic can hold under such circumstances- is that you realize that the route to satisfying your sex drive and not being murdered or arrested is through public acceptance and ultimately legalization of pedophilia. So, you out yourself as a public pedophile with the relative safety of an anonymous Twitter handle. Maybe you write for Salon or encourage leftist media muppets to interview you about how misunderstood the whole issue of having sex with children is.

The very definition of pedophilia -or any sexual philia- is an abnormal appetite or liking for. For example, you might be a pogonophile and have an abnormal appetite or lust for beards. As a bearded man, I am abnormally attractive to you- irresistibly so. While it's funny to think about on the surface, it is actually utterly superficial. You do not know me. You do not care about me- all you want is my beard. If I were to shave it off your attraction would evaporate as rapidly as the steam on my mirror. In a similarly disordered manner the pedophile is not interested in children in the romantic way typical humans fall in love or feel attraction. It is sexual desire of prepubescent children in the same irrational and alien way that the pogonophile is drawn towards beards. Incapable of love, the -philiac is attached only to that which arouses them; when the object of desire changes -by shaving a beard off, by a child entering puberty, or whatever other form the abnormality takes- the philia goes unsated and the desire for what once was irresistible is gone. The -philiac must find another locus of arousal.

Pedophiles do not love children. One cannot love children and be a pedophile. The pedophiles use children to satiate their base desires. This is why pedophilia is an abnormality rather than a sexual orientation- A chronophilic disorder. A person may well find a much older person attractive, but when they only find the elderly attractive, this is beyond merely a sexual preference- it is gerontophilia. The attraction in this case is still a disorder but as it affects only adults there is no need to legislate against it within our society. Not so for the person who is inescapably attracted to children. It is as far from being a sexual preference or orientation as it possible to be; consider those poor souls who find themselves irrevokably attracted to tractors or who marry bridges. It is impossible to normalize even those people who harm no-one with their behavior, let alone those who wish to normalize attraction to children.

This is why the gay movements around the world have struggled so hard to distance themselves from pedophilia, with varying degrees of success. Once more for those in the back- pedophilia is not normal. In a nightmare future, the Western child is forced into the hijab and made to answer questions about whether they are ready to have a sexual relationship with an adult. How culturally enriched we will be.

Last week our Conservatoire Nursery held a (Drag Queen Story Team event to promote social inclusion. Thank you to the nursery team and parents for being open minded. pic.twitter.com/XfugTWFopv

— LEYF Nurseries (@leyfonline) December 1, 2017

June O’Sullivan, chief executive of LEYF, said:

“By providing spaces in which children are able to see people who defy rigid gender restrictions, it allows them to imagine the world in which people can present [themselves] as they wish.”

This is the motivation behind Drag Queen Story Time-  The project also seeks to tackle misogyny, homophobia, and racism, so it's just your small-scale neo-Marxist indoctrination of 3 year-olds, who clearly are already so bigoted against blacks and gays that they need to be taught how to think by drag queens.

If pedophilia is normalized also, then it will become acceptable for a man who is sexually attracted to kids to run a similar project. Conservative philosophy is concerned with the preservation of the pillars of our civilization. The very concept of what makes up a family has been under attack for more than a generation, producing the tragedy today that in America 40% of children are born to unwed mothers and 25% of all children under the age of 18 — a total of about 17.2 million — are being raised without a father. 35% of these broken families are poor. The story gets even worse once we break that figure down by racial demographics.

The bedrock of our great Western Civilization is the family unit. In 1933  Christopher Dawson wrote “The Patriarchal Family in History,” and drew parallels to the decline of the Greek and Roman civilizations that preceded our own.

“As in the decline of the ancient world, the family is steadily losing its form and its social significance, and the state absorbs more and more of the life of its members,” Dawson wrote. “The functions which were formerly fulfilled by the head of the family are now being taken over by the state, which educates the children and takes the responsibility for their maintenance and health.”

Can any deny that 85 years on from Dawson we are even further along this path to destruction? Instead of addressing this matter with concern for the very fundamental building blocks of society itself, the radical intersectionalists of the left have instead pared the pieces apart with the hatchet of Social Justice. The family is irrelevant when there are transgender identities to care about. The environment that children are raised in produces racists and homophobes, so therefore society must take over the raising of children from the inadequate parents. So often unwed and solitary, the single parents of this generation and the last have gladly relinquished responsibility- and who can blame them? As a culture we have produced untold millions of people without an coherent identity of their own to pass on to the next generation.

" Ender claims that any attempt to make another account—under any name—was initially blocked following his ban, but thought they had reconsidered their stance after he was able to log back on. Following his most recent ban, he's less optimistic. Until Twitter directly addresses how they’re going to deal with users like Ender, non-offending pedophiles exist in the same state. It’s a kind of limbo, where they’re able to speak about their attractions to children publicly, but without knowing for how long." - Jackson Weaver, VICE Magazine

This is a progressive magazine with a culture of sexual harassment towards women. This magazine -with a huge readership- is appealing to one of the biggest social media networks on the planet to stop banning pedophiles. More than this entire article up until now, this should tell you everything you need to know about the pedophile normalization movement. Non-offending pedophiles want to become pedophiles who are non-offending because the abnormal sex they desire has become socially accepted. While the majority of people will be repulsed by the behavior, once the normalization of degeneracy has become ratified then it is then bigotry to criticize it. It is now normal for an adult man dressed as a woman to teach your three year old son how not to be a homophobe. Don't tell me this is a leap of the imagination.

Still, it is conservatives who are the problem, right? We are the ones holding society back from true progress. Progress towards what exactly? A society of fatherless sons with no role-models, no aspirations and the exaltation of self-centered gratification of the basest desires of the depraved. No thank you, not on my watch.

No empathy for the devils.

                   Chapter 1. WHO'S BILL CLINTON or WHY KGB KILLED 31 Americans

                                                                        RECRUITMENT IMG6001490634802 Bill, 1974

     December 31, 1969, Moscow, Russia    “Very poor”  Oxford student and anti- Vietnam war activist Bill Clinton came to Moscow through Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland for 5-day  vacation at super expensive  "National" Hotel, a place for rich who come to Russia on big business. Who paid for European tour and the “National”, Bill ? OK.  The only person Bill knew in Moscow was Anik “Nikki” Alexis, a daughter of a French diplomat . Clinton recalls in his 2004 “My life” autobiography, "One night I took a bus out to Lumumba University to have dinner with Nikki". On the bus back home, Clinton says, there was only one other passenger, Oleg Rakito, who "spoke better English than I did" and "asked me lots of questions and told me he worked for the government, virtually admitting he was assigned to keep an eye on me".

                                  Bill’s story is a total lie. First, foreigners who can afford "National" don't use public transportation on  -30 C Russian winter  night.Second, KGB officer might break  his identity to a foreigner  if he's recruiting him only.Third, Bill was successfully recruited by KGB, otherwise he would have left Moscow immediately and in panic. Instead, he enjoyed the rest of his vacation and went to Czechoslovakia, another socialist country. In 1969 Bill  was 23 , perfect age for  KGB - they  recruited young foreigners (students of  Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Oxford) between ages 21-26 because: a)      you brainwash them easier and faster than adults b)      you build their careers the way you want c)      these guys always have a chance to occupy the Oval Office one day

                                                     How KGB recruited Bill KGB intelligence officer under diplomatic cover met an anti-war activist Bill in Oxford, brainwashed him and gave him a gift – paid Christmas Europe-Russia tour. He also said that his friend in Moscow would like to talk to Bill and make some deal. In Moscow Bill met Oleg Rakito at “National” and signed the recruitment paper. Rakito promised him fast political career – Governor and then the U.S. President. Bill made a choice and the choice was right as we all know.

                                                    Bilderberg

June, 1992, Baden-Baden, Germany In the middle of his first presidential campaign Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton made a 3-days secret trip to Baden-Baden, Germany where he attended the annual Bilderberg Club meeting. Media went crazy as the Democratic  candidate completely disappeared from view for 72 hours. But for Bill and Godmother it was the most important meeting in their lives as there were two people who had the power to appoint American President – David Rockefeller, CEO - Chase Manhattan Bank and Henry Kissinger, the informal Bilderberg chair, who’s serving Rockefeller clan, the most powerful family in USA, for many years.  Rockefeller and Kissinger liked Bill Clinton and he was elected the next U.S. President.

                                                 SUPERJOB

IMG6001490635413 1997 Russia, totalitarian, 100% corrupted country with dying economy and dictator Boris Yeltsin ("Czar Boris") on top, joined the G7, a group of seven major industrialized democracies. It was KGB agent Bill Clinton’s huge  effort to shut up Canada, Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany and Japan who unanimously opposed the G7 “reform”. Good job, Billy.                                     How KGB paid him

  In 1993 Vice President Gore and Russian Prime Minister Chernomyrdin signed a 20-year $12 billion deal under which Russia would ship its weapons-grade uranium to the United States.Bill  in his over 1,000-page memoir My Life (2004) wrote actually nothing  about this “deal of a century.”  Look, “In the afternoon [April, 3, 1993] we [Clinton and Russian President Yeltsin] agreed on a way to institutionalize cooperation, with a commission headed by Gore and Chernomyrdin….On January 30 [1996], Prime Minister Chernomyrdin of Russia came to the White House for his sixth meeting with Al Gore. After they finished their commission business, Chernomyrdin came to see me to brief me on events in Russia and Yeltsin’s prospects for reelection” [p. 697].  You’ll never make Bill Clinton talk about the deal again even at gun point. Why ? At their summit meeting in Vancouver, in April 1993, President Clinton and President Yeltsin created the U.S.– Russian Joint Commission on Economic and Technological Cooperation. Since then it has become known as the Gore–Chernomyrdin Commission (GCC). The Commission’s original mandate was to support cooperation between the United States and Russia in the areas of space, energy and high technology. In fact it was a cover-up of two thieves to mask  a non-proliferation agreement to convert highly enriched uranium (HEU) taken from dismantled Russian nuclear warheads into low-enriched uranium (LEU) fuel to be sold to customers in the USA and worldwide through the USEC (United States Enrichment Company). USEC was created in 1993 as a government corporation with the mission to restructure the US government’s uranium enrichment operation and to prepare it for sale to the private sector. Attention ! On April 26, 1996 Bill signed into law the USEC Privatization Act.The HEU Agreement required the United States to purchase through USEC 500 metric tons, $12 billion worth, of HEU. The money disappeared.Most of the documents are still classified.

                          KGB killed 3 Russians to cover Bill up

Three Russian statesmen tried to investigate the Clinton- Yeltsin deal :Ruvim Nureyev, Lev Rokhlin, Yuri Shchekotchikhin. All of them are dead. 1. Ruvim Nureyev. The Russia Chief Inspector for Nuclear and Radiation Safety, who strongly opposed the deal, was found dead on the railroad tracks in June 1996. The incident was described as a suicide.

2. Lev Rokhlin. The Russian State Duma Deputy Lieutenant General Rokhlin  started his own official Clinton-Yeltsin deal investigation. Lev Maximov, the Nuclear Technologies Institute Director, who helped Rokhlin to obtain the documents, received death threats. IMG6001490634449 July 3, 1998 , Moscow, Russia Rokhlin was shot three times and killed in his house while he was sleeping. His wife, Tamara Rokhlina, was arrested and testified that she killed him “for reasons of personal enmity.” She later recanted her testimony, saying she incriminated herself under threat. Rokhlin’s bodyguard, who was there that night, testified that he heard no gunshots (the killers used a silencer). Within days three dead bodies were found in the vicinity of the Rokhlin household and  cremated before they could be identified. In November 2000, Rokhlina was convicted of murder and sentenced to 8 years in prison, but the Supreme Court overturned the verdict and ordered a new trial. October 2, 1998, Washington, DC The US Congress, taking into account that Lev Rokhlin was a former Russian State Duma Defense Committee Chairman, asked Bill to “urge the Russia Government to promptly and thoroughly investigate” the case. Billy was smart enough not to dig his own grave, and just ignored this                                                Resolution Expressing sympathy to the family and collegues of Lev YakovlevichRokhlin, and expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that President of the United States should urge the Russia Government to promptly and thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Lev Rokhlin and to provide a full accounting of the circumstances  no later than November 1999. Whereas Lev Rokhlin assumed the chairmanship of the Defense Committee of the Duma and was the highest-ranking elected official in the Duma working on Defense issues…Wheras in October 1997, Lev Rokhlin advocated the resignation of President Yeltsyn.Whereas attempts were made for 6 months to remove Lev Rokhlin from his Committee chairmanship.Whereas on July 3,1998, Lev Rokhlin was stripped of the chairmanship of the Defense Committee, but maintained his position as a member of Duma.Whereas on July 3,1998, Lev Rokhlin was shot in the head three times and killed.Whereas members of Lev Rokhlin’s family have stated that Rokhlin’s wife, Tamara Rokhlina, was physically abused and was threatened with death unless she accepted responsibility for Lev Rokhlin’s murder.Whereas Lev Rokhlin’s bodyguard, who was in the home the night of the murder, claimed that he heard no gunshots.Whereas three bodies were cremated by the Moscow government authorities before they could be identified.Whereas any inability of Russia to provide a full accounting of the circumstances surrounding the death of Lev Rokhlin would raise serious questions about the existence of a stable democratic system in Russia: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That – (1)The House of Representatives expresses sympathy to the family and collegues of Lev Rokhlinand : (2)it is the sense of the House of Representatives that the President of the United States should urge the Russian Government – (A) to promptly and thoroughly investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of Lev Rokhlin; (B) to provide a full accounting of circumstances not later than November,1999  Kremlin did nothing. 3. Yuri Shchekotchikhin, a famous Russian reporter and corruption fighter, was elected to the Russian State Duma where he served as National Security Committee Deputy. IMG6001490634366  After Rokhlin was murdered in 1998, Shchekotchikhin continued his investigation and concentrated his efforts in two directions: first, he tried to obtain the #1 Gore–Chernomyrdin Agreement (September 2, 1993), but President Yeltsin denied the requests. Second, he started a full-scale investigation into the Atomic Ministry corruption and - against Atomic Minister Adamov in person. On June 16, 2003, he lost consciousness and was taken to the Central (Kremlin) Hospital. He was pronounced dead after lying still unconscious for 12 days. (The official diagnosis - a flu). All medical records are still classified, but experts insist he was poisoned by thallium or cadmium.

                                                          KGB KILLED 31 AMERICANS WHO KNEW TOO MUCH                                                                   ("WHO TALKED TOO MUCH")

1.James McDougal. He died on Sunday, March 8, 1998 in John Petersmith Hospital in Ft. Worth, Texas.  He had been serving a federal prison sentence for fraud in connection with the Whitewater land deal.  At first, he claimed to be innocent, but after being convicted of 18 felony counts, he cooperated with Special Prosecutor Kenneth Starr's investigation of the Clintons.  He was scheduled to give damaging testimony against the Clintons, although critics of the investigation say his testimony had previously been inconsistent and that nothing new was expected to be revealed.  A prison spokesman said McDougal died of a heart attack and had been suffering from heart disease and blocked arteries. 2.Mary Mahoney. A former White House intern was murdered July 1997 at a Starbucks Coffee Shop in Georgetown. The murder happened just after she was to go public with her story of sexual harassment in the White House. Mahoney was murdered over the July 4th weekend in 1997 at the Georgetown Starbucks near Washington D.C..  She was the assistant manager and, according to published reports, she and two other employees were working late at night after the coffee bar had closed.  All three were found shot to death.  No money was taken and there was no sign of forced entry 3.Vince Foster.

Ed Willey.  Clinton’s fund raiser, found dead in November 1993 deep in the woods in VA of a gunshot wound to the head. Ruled a suicide. Ed Willey died on the same day his wife Kathleen Willey claimed Bill Clinton groped her in the Oval Office in the White House. According to published reports, Ed Willey was an attorney who owed the IRS $400,000 and had embezzled nearly $270,000 from one of his clients.  The Willey's financial woes were a source of stress between Ed Willey and Kathleen Willey and she finally demanded a plan that would bring it to an end.  There was a stormy family meeting about it on the night of November 28, 1993 and Ed Willey moved out of the house.  The next day is when Kathleen Willey went to the White House to see Bill Clinton about a job.  She says the president assaulted her during that visit.  It was later discovered that Ed Willey had driven into the woods on the same day.  His body was found by hunters on November 30, 1993.  Authorities ruled his death a suicide by shotgun.  There was a suicide note apologizing for the financial problems. 7.  Jerry Parks. Head of Clinton's gubernatorial security team in Little Rock.Gunned down in his car at a deserted intersection outside Little Rock.  Park's son said his father had  a dossier on Clinton.

After he died the files disappeared.     Parks was the head of security for the Clinton-Gore Little Rock headquarters in 1992.  On September 26, 1996, he was murdered down while driving through a Little Rock intersection.  A lone gunman fired seven shots at him.  This was two months after Vince Foster's death.  Both Parks' wife and son have said that they believe Parks was murdered and that he feared for his life.  His murder has never been solved.  According to Gary Parks, Jerry Parks' son, the files were on the sexual escapades of Bill Clinton.  They were not removed from Parks' house after his death.  According to investigative reporter Christopher Ruddy, the files that Parks had been keeping on Clinton were taken during a burglary several weeks before Parks' death. 8.  James Bunch. He died from a gunshot suicide. It was reported that he had a "Black Book" of people which contained names of influential people who visited prostitutes in Texas and Arkansas. 9. Bill Shelton. Arkansas State Trooper and fiancee of Kathy Ferguson. Critical of the suicide ruling of his fiancee, he was found dead in June, 1994 of a gunshot wound also ruled a suicide at the grave site of his fiancee.  He was one of many of her friends who felt that Ferguson did not commit suicide and that the coroner's report was not accurate about her wound being self-inflicted.  He was found a month later sprawled over her grave with a gunshot wound to his head that was similar to what the coroner had described as Ferguson's wound. 10. Gandy Baugh. Attorney for Clinton's friend Dan Lassater, died by jumping out a window of a tall building January, 1994. His client was a convicted drug distributor. The Truth:  Gandy Baugh jumped out of a window of a multi-story building and died on January 8, 1994.  Published reports say he was defending a man named Dan Lassater in a financial misconduct case.  Lassater was an associate of Bill Clinton's who was convicted of cocaine distribution.   11.

Paul Wilcher. Attorney investigating corruption at Mena Airport with Casolaro and the 1980 "October Surprise" was found dead on a toilet June 22, 1993 in his Washington DC apartment.

Kevin Ives & Don Henry."The boys on the track" case. Reports say the boys may have stumbled upon the Mena Arkansas airport drug operation. A controversial case, the initial report of death said, due to falling asleep on railroad tracks. Later reports claim the 2 boys had been slain before being placed on the tracks.

                                                Russian thief - Bill- Hillary

Professor Adamov was  a Director of the NIKIET (top  secret Research and Development Institute of Power Engineering) in 1986-1998 He was secretly involved in the Gore - Chernomyrdin deal as chief expert on the Russian side (even Russian Defense Minister Rodionov knew nothing about it). In 1994 he opened the consulting and management company “Omeka, Ltd.” registered in Pennsylvania (by the end of 1999 the company had assets valued of $5,080,000) by his wife. In 1996 he signed a forged contract between NIKIET and “Omeka,” and opened other companies and banking accounts in Monaco, Switzerland and France to start money laundering the stolen funds the US Department of Energy provided Russia to improve safety at Russian nuclear facilities.  On May 2, 2005 Adamov was arrested in Bern, Switzerland, and was charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States and to transfer stolen money and securities ($9 million), money laundering and tax evasion. US prosecutors demanded his extradition to the United States, but Russia did the same, asking to send Adamov back home where he would face a trial. Swiss authorities asked Adamov if he was willing to accept simplified extradition to the United States. He rejected that and Washington had to file a formal extradition request. The battle  began. A money laundering blew up into an international scandal. The American government’s insistence looked strange until Bill appeared on the stage on October 5, 2005 to save Adamov from 60 years in jail. He didn’t show up himself. Somebody  hired a lawyer -  Lanny Breuer, from the Washington, DC based “Covington & Burling.” Breuer had worked as a special Counsel to President Clinton in 1997-1999 and represented him in the presidential impeachment hearings and trial.   This was not a battle between Russia and USA - it was a battle between the Republicans and Democrats for the Oval Office in 2008. Russians and their asset Bill  had to win this struggle no matter what - if Adamov was extradited to America, he would “sing” everything on that Clinton-Yeltsin $12 billion deal and share his federal cell with Bill. Meanwhile President Bush, a Republican, needed victory to remove the Clintons from the political arena forever. Clintons won - on December 18, 2005 the Swiss Supreme Court overturned a previous ruling by the Justice Ministry, which had said that Adamov must first face the US courts. On December 30, 2005 Adamov was extradited from Switzerland to Russia, thus opening the door to the Big Presidential Game  for Hill. She lost in 2008.

                                                                   Chapter 2. KILL BILL

IMG6001496940774 Bill Clinton and CIA Director John Deutch who wanted the President dead. But who ordered Deutch to kill Clinton ?

IMG6001496929144 CIA awarded me with immigration status for my consent to kill President Bill Clinton.

September 1, 1995, New York I  was recruited by CIA at "Millennium Hilton" as  "Filament", the asset and the killer - i was a former KGB anti-terror "Nabat" group member  . I  had to work for  FBI National Security Dept. too, and it was a classic conspiracy.  I  had to spy on the  White House and the U.S. Congress an kill American politicians. Later the U.S. Secret Service wanted me to kill for them as well.  Also, I, a KGB spy, had to teach American  presidents how to rule America and created "The Professional" system - special instructions  on successful election and re-election campaigns, strategic planning and top decisions making, national security, foreign policy and diplomacy, propaganda, economy, war and special operations. That’s why Bill Clinton won 1996 re-election campaign. In 2007 it was published as the White House Special Handbook. Obama was using it, and now - Trump. I could never imagine that in America I could have  a unique status, "carte blanche" which means a “license to kill” any politician who is the threat to CIA.   CIA and FBI also   asked for effective interrogation, tortures and murders methods  and readily used  them in Guantanamo, Iraq and Afghanistan. I, not Condi Rice or Hillary Clinton, designed the world domination, “controlled chaos” and  “color” revolutions strategies successfully used to blow up Yugoslavia, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Ukraine, Yemen, and unite USA and EU for the World War III for Russian resources.  

 CIA wanted too much from me – they had "a hell of a job up to my high professional skills as a former KGB anti-terror “Nabat” (”The Bell”) group sniper.

Working abroad – Europe, Asia, Middle East -  was OK with me, but  I had no intention to kill politicians in America and play  Lee Oswald-2. They've pressed me  hard in return.  Who was the target ?  President Bill Clinton - CIA wanted me "to stay close to him". I knew Bill Clinton's favorite "Filomena" restaurant in Washington , D.C. and could kill him at the entrance with a decent sniper rifle like M21 (700 m effective accuracy). CIA didn't guarantee my personal security, so,  and  I couldn't  do “a big job” and Bill Clinton has to say “Thank you , Mike, for saving my life”. IMG6001496940018 “Filomena “ restaurant where Bill Clinton used to dine with other presidents.

                                      Now, who could kill Bill Clinton ?                                       Russians. Why ?

Because CIA Director John Deutch was their asset. Deutch was born in Brussels, Belgium, the son of Rachel Felicia (Fischer) and Michael Joseph Deutch. He is of Russian Jewish heritage, and became a United States citizen in 1945. So, let's ask Russian President Putin, a former KGB spy, when, where and how KGB recruited Deutch.

Look.  Two days after Deutch retired from the CIA, on December 16, 1996, technical personnel discovered at his house highly classified information stored on his unclassified computer, loaded from CIA computer. He refused to explain why he violated strict security rules.   In 1997 the CIA began a formal security investigation. It was determined that his computer was often connected to Internet with no security, and that Deutch was known to leave memory cards with classified data  in his car. Deutch used his influence to stop further  investigation and the CIA took no action until 1999, when it suspended his security clearances. He admitted the security breach but refused to explain why he, a CIA Director, communicated via Internet with a Russian chemist (!).   In 1999 the Defense Department started its own investigation, and it appeared that in 1993 Defense Undersecretary Deutch  used unsecured computers at home and his America Online  account to access classified defense information. He declined departmental requests in 1994 to allow security systems to be installed at his residence.    In 2000 Senator Charles Grassley asked the Justice Department to look into the case. Nothing happened – why ?Since 2000 my former boss Deutch is MIT Professor and Director for Citigroup.  In 2001 Bill Clinton pardoned Deutch blocking any  investigations.

                                          Why KGB wanted Bill Clinton dead ?

No matter what, he didn't want to work for KGB anymore. Big mistake, because once they give you a "one way ticket" you''ll get it, no matter what. Bill won't die in bed in peace, trust me.

                                               PART 2.   OBAMA'S ASSASSINATION

                                        Chapter 1. OBAMA IS KGB  INTEL OFFICER

IMG6001479737495

Documentation August 4, 1961  Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii. If there's something very wrong with someone's birth certificate. If there's an indication that this someone used a birth certificate of a newborn child (Virginia Sunahara) who died at birth or soon after birth. If this someone is the U.S. President. We have to talk about  Russian intelligence (SVR, a former KGB) and its illegal espionage department. We have to talk about the  illegal spy "documentation process" - using birth certificates to get legal documents in USA - SS#, driver license, passport.

 “Obama” showed his "real" birth certificate in 2011. A single reporter – NBC Savannah Guthrie  - was allowed to see the “real” document, and then it was scanned as a PDF file and loaded into the Internet. Numerous electronic document experts have shown, using steps that anyone can repeat with if they have the proper software, that the document the White House  uploaded is not simply a scanned version of an original paper document. Instead, it’s what’s called a “layered” document. A document that’s scanned will have only one layer, which is the image itself. A “layered,” electronically manipulated document will show one electronic addition after another. The White House’s birth certificate PDF has 9 layers. This was an assembled electronic document, not a scanned paper document. KGB is here.

"Barack Obama" in 2001

Illegal spy cover story works best if it's a mix of actual and fake facts. "Obama" (let's call him John Smith) was a child of a student from Kenya who studied in Moscow and dated a Russian girl. Such kids in Russia were often unwanted by both partners and were raised and educated at a special school. Like Obama, John Smith was born in 1961 and, like him, graduated from high school in 1979. KGB paid attention to a very smart young man, and he joined the organization.  Smith was Intelligence Institute student in 1979-1981  in Moscow, not far from "Cosmos" Hotel. There are couple of buildings in the area and I got intelligence education myself in one of them back in 1987 (15 Yaroslavskaya Street, Moscow Russia).  Then a decision was made to train him individually as illegal intelligence officer. The "dacha" (Russian for small villa) not far from Moscow, provides an ideally isolated territory for training. 2-3 instructors  live there to immerse the candidate completely into his American identity and supervise him all the time. From the first day the candidate becomes accustomed to the circumstances in which he will be living and working in USA for many years. He wears American clothes, eats the food, he's thinking, acting and living like 100% American. He’s supplied with newspapers and magazines, he's watching movies and TV shows. The instructors communicates with him non-stop, from 6 AM to 10 PM. After a number of years of such training, the future illegal spy  knows everything about America, espionage technology and speaks perfect English (by the way, "Obama" once made a very interesting mistake - he said "leave the Agency" instead of "lead the Agency. In espionage business, we say :" One mistake in pronunciation, and the enemy will finish your sentence with a lead dot".

   After special training candidate  goes through “abroad transformation” process :

a) illegal probation period abroad. A trip abroad through intermediate countries with numerous changes of passports and cover stories, jobs, personal connections. Finally, he gets to the target country, stays there for another 1-2 years and goes back to his country for additional training and correction of the  cover story - actually, it's his first combat assignment. The most important part of this assignment is to check the reliability of the cover story and documents; the cover story has to be reinforced with new and old true facts, like short-term studies at universities or professional training courses. b) intermediate legislation. On his way back to Russia the officer could stay in an intermediate country for another 1-2 years, make contacts with business, scientists, government employees, celebrities. c) basic legislation. Officer comes to the target country, obtains genuine documents, gets a job which allows him to travel and talk to many people, recruit informants thus creating an illegal station.   At the same time, in 1979-1981, Barack Obama studied at Occidental College in Los Angeles where he became a socialist ready to transform the nation by redistributing wealth. KGB station in Washington, DC which was constantly looking for future secret sources at American  top universities and colleges, like Columbia, Yale or Harvard, got information about young socialist. They sent his picture and info to Moscow where some resemblance was discovered between a college student from Los Angeles and a future illegal spy John Smith.   What happened next ?                      

1981  Obama traveled to Indonesia to visit his mother and sister Maya, and visited the families of college friends in India and Pakistan for 3 weeks. India was a good friend to Soviet Union and a perfect place to recruit foreigners. He was recruited and he disappeared.  “Obama” was secretly brought to India and from 1981 he’s playing Barack Obama. Then he stayed in Pakistan at Lahore Hilton International, was introduced to Yousa Gillani, the Central Working Committee of the Pakistan Muslim League (PML) member and the future prime minister - and went bird-hunting with him. That's exactly what  illegal spy had to do - make business and political contacts on his way to the target country. John Smith aka Barack Obama came back to the United States - change of agents, a regular illegal espionage method. Obama's father , Barack  Obama Sr., aged 46 died in a car accident in Nairobi. His mother, Ann Dunham,  lived in Indonesia and might be just avoided or ignored by her "son" (Don Johnson, Dunham co-worker, said "Obama was distancing himself from her"). Russians approached her under a "false flag" ( National Security Agency or CIA) and explained that her son had to stay abroad for a secret mission for some time. They told her that she had to be ready to accept another person as her own son. For operation like that, espionage agencies often recruit close relatives and allow them to meet their son (daughter) from time to time outside USA. Money talks, there's nothing unusual, but Dunham wanted his son back and in 1995 KGB helped her to die of cancer at the age of 52. Time changes people, so "Obama" had to stay away from his friends and do not show up in public too much. 1981-1983 . He  transferred to Columbia University in New York City, where he majored in political science and where nobody could remember him at all, and graduated with a B.A. in 1983.   "Obama" declined  repeated requests to talk about his New York years, release his Columbia transcript or identify a single fellow student, co-worker, roommate or friend from those years. Wall Street Journal editorial in September 2008, titled "Obama's  Lost Years" noted that Fox News contacted  400 Obama's classmates at Columbia and found no one who even remembered him. "Mostly, my years at Columbia were an intense period of study," Obama told Columbia College Today in a 2005 alumnus interview. "I didn't socialize that much. I was like a monk". Perfect cover up ! Columbia has refused to release any records regarding Obama's attendance, including his application to attend, his grades, and his financial aid records, if any exist. Only one person could order Columbia to shut up - CIA Director Leon Panetta, a former Bill Clinton’s Chief of Staff, by the way.

1983-1985 He worked at the Business International Corporation and at the New York Public Interest Research Group. He worked in Chicago as community organizer in 1985-1988. 1987

                                    Moscow, 1987

I have a perfect memory and I state that I saw the man in the center  of this picture in Moscow in 1987, where I’ve been trained at KGB Intelligence Institute.

IMG6001479737641 “Zolotoi Kolos” Hotel,Yaroslavskaya Street 15, Moscow, a secret PGU KGB Intelligence Institute facility. If you open the Moscow hotels catalog, you’ll see that this hotel has 5 buildings – 1,3,4,5,7,8 – buildings 2 and 6 “do not exist”. Nearby I saw the man who looked like the person in the center of the  picture above in January 1987. I left a small note about that on Internet and on October, 13, 2011 a statement appeared on Internet:  Paul Pieniezny :”The Obama who was in Russia at that time [1987 – M.K.] was not Barack Obama, but a student from Western Africa. He is still alive and well and a diplomat. I have mentioned that little fact a few times on the Fogbow. I hope he sues Mr Kryzhanovsky for every cent he earned in the extreme-right talk circuit”. Looks like Obama and his KGB bosses are really scared.

1988 - 2008 “Obama” travelled to Europe to meet his KGB handlers and get new instructions. He had a choice - a safe variant (to make a political career in one of African countries), and a risky one of staying in America - KGB wanted him to be Martin Luther King #2 . But it appeared he could get much more which was Oval Office. KGB made a decision : he had to stay in USA longer and it was a success : KGB financed his successful  Illinois Senator election (1997-2004) and – very important step on the road to the White House - U.S. Senator election (2005-2008).  Bill left the Oval Office in 2001 and KGB had to substitute him for another asset, as they couldn’t recruit George Bush Jr. .                                     Ask Lugar

August 5-7, 2005, Perm, Russia IMG6001479737850 Senators Lugar and “Obama”, Russia

 "Obama" visited Russia (together with Senator R. Lugar) and met secretly his SVR (former KGB intelligence) handlers to discuss his perspectives  for the U.S. presidency. It appeared that  U.S. Senator  “Obama” was getting out of control and Russians  decided  to teach him a lesson. Here’s what happened.   Senator Richard Lugar, an Indiana Republican and Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Senator “Obama”, an Illinois Democrat, were detained for three hours on August 7  at an airport in Russia's city of Perm .  "We are not certain as to why  the particular activity  caused that delay," Lugar said.  He said U.S. Embassy officials informed the senators that "an official at the Foreign Ministry has issued an apology."  No one from the Russian Foreign Ministry could be reached. The U.S Embassy could not immediately confirm the information. Russia's Federal Security Service , however, defended the plane's delay, saying it was because the Perm airport isn't part of an Open Skies Agreement, which allows certain planes to bypass inspections. The FSB, the agency that succeeded the KGB, said it could only comment on the report within a week's time. Maksim Zhalayev, deputy head of the border control service at Perm’s airport, accused the senators of refusing to follow border guards’ orders, telling Russia’s Ekho Moskvy radio that was the reason behind the delay. U.S. Embassy officials  said the flight was a U.S. military flight, and therefore should have had diplomatic status. Lugar's spokesman, Andy Fisher, said that Russian officials had initially refused to allow the plane to take off, and insisted on boarding it. "They did not. The border patrol finally got orders to let us go," Fisher said. The senators and their aides spent three days in Russia visiting sites where warheads are stored before destruction under the U.S.-funded Comprehensive Threat Reduction program.   This international scandal  could never happen without President Putin’s straight order. “Obama” got the message.

                                   KGB Pelosi

August 28, 2008 KGB paid big to Nancy Pelosi, the House Speaker, and asked her to help “Obama”  win the Democratic nomination. They informed her that “Obama” was  not eligible under the US Constitution and she has to change  the Nomination Certification. Pelosi was smart enough to understand that if KGB pushed “Obama” to the very top of political power , they had enough money and possibilities to erase her in case she refused. And the money was big. Now, look at the evidence.

Original document. IMG6001497107066 Democratic National Committee Official Certification of Nomination This is to certify that National Convention of Democratic Party of the United States of America, held in Denver, Colorado on August 25 through 28, 2008, the following were duly nominated as candidates of said Party as President and Vice President of the United States respectively and the following candidates for President and Vice President of the United States are legally qualified to serve under the provision of the United States Constitution: For President of the United States Barack Obama For Vice President Joe Biden

And now look how Pelosi earned the KGB money and forged the document : IMG6001497107093 Democratic National Committee Official Certification of Nomination This is to certify that at the National Convention of the Democratic Party of the United States of America, held in Denver, Colorado on August 25 through 28, 2008 the following were duly nominated as candidates of said Party as President and Vice President of the United States respectively.

Got it ? KGB asset Nancy Pelosi deleted “…are legally qualified to serve under the provision of the United States Constitution…” Perfect job, Nancy. And a perfect federal crime.

                                           KGB psychotechnologies  

  Igor Smirnov (1950-2004) was a Psychotechnology Research Institute (Moscow) Director, professor,  the father of "psychotronic weapons," the Russian term for mind control weapons. His father, Victor Abakumov, was KGB Chief  in 1946-1951. The Institute was established  first as KGB psychotechnology lab by KGB Chairman Y. Andropov in 1980.   His research was focused on a unique "psycho-correction" technology  - the use of  coded acoustic subliminal messages transmitted in "white noise" or music to bend a subject's will, and  modify a person's personality without their knowledge. Using an infrasound very low frequency-type transmission, the acoustic psycho-correction message is transmitted via bone conduction - ear plugs would not restrict the message.  Messages like "Vote for Obama !" might be sent through a mobile phone, radio , TV or PC - you don't hear them but your brain accepts them. In a same way the brain accepts the visual image. They by-pass the conscious level and are effective almost immediately. Janet Morris is President and CEO of M2 Technologies Corp, specializing in non-lethal weapons (NLW), novel technology applications, tactics and technology. Ms. Morris's seminal non-lethal concept and novel technology applications work has been used by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. She served at the United States Global Strategy Council (1989-1994) and at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (1993–1995).   In 1991  Morris met Smirnov who showed her his “Mind Reader”. In 1993 Smirnov came to Washington, DC and showed his technology to Bill Clinton’s people, Pentagon and CIA experts. In March, 1993 the Richmond, Virginia based Psychotechnologies Corp signed an agreement with Smirnov   in which "the Russian side agreed to commit the psycho-correction technologies still in Russia and all related know-how to the US. company in exchange for stock. The Russian side has agreed to provide all support necessary to recreate current [psycho- correction] capability in the US and to upgrade the capability using US components and computer programmers. All necessary developmental and existing algorithms will be provided by the Russian side."  In 2008 Barack Obama won presidential elections and it was a national psychosis combined with euphoria. Many out  of 69,5 million Obama’s voters can’t explain what happened to them and what “CHANGE!” they wanted.

OBAMA- RUSSIAN PRESIDENT MEDVEDEV SECRET TALK DECODED by Mikhail Kryzhanovsky           Seoul, March 26, 2012

The secret deals. "On these issues, but particularly missile defense, this can be solved, but it's important for him [Putin] to give me space".  Barack Obama. Explanation. 1) "...these issues can be solved". Obama promised that America won't start war in Iran in 2012 and, for sure , it won't happen after Obama is re-elected. Obama and Medvedev reached a  secret deal on Iranian nuclear program, because Obama didn't even mention  it, it's a minor problem now. 2) "...particularly missile defense...this can be solved" Obama and Medvedev already reached a secret deal on American missile defense in Europe - Obama will put it on hold until 2016, for the period of his future second term. 3) "It's important for him [Putin, Prime Minister] to give me space" Obama didn't mention Putin's name and that means that secret deals in Seoul were initiated by Putin, not Medvedev. Obama is begging Putin to "give him space" and that means Putin is pressing Obama hard as his asset.

Dmitriy Medvedev: "Yes, I understand. I understand your message about space. Space for you..." Explanation. Medvedev didn't promise to stop pressure, he promised "understanding". That means: "We understand you can't be weak on this issues now. But Putin wants to start his new presidency with international victory - missile defense in Europe is a threat to Russia and it has to be removed".

Barack Obama:"This is my last election. After my election I have more flexibility". Explanation. Obama is 100% sure he's re-elected and that means Obama and Medvedev reached a secret deal on Obama's 2012 campaign financing. "After my election I have more flexibility" means "If Russian intelligence could finance my campaign properly, I'll get the second term and you'll get whatever you want, but not before".

Dmitriy Medvedev:"I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir [Putin] and I stand with you". Explanation. 1) Again, Medvedev promised "understanding" and that means that Putin will make ultimate decision on Obama's campaign financing. 2) "Transmit", "transmitter" is espionage technical jargon. Medvedev would never use it if it was a regular meeting of two presidents. He would rather say "I'll inform Putin on that"

                                                      Putin kills USA

1. Socialist intervention into the US economy. A person who wants to spend $1 trillion on health care reform  which is not a priority at all in the middle of horrible economic crisis, in a country with $ 17 trillion national debt is either an idiot or an enemy of America with a very well calculated plan to terminate the country.  “Obama” did it -  in March 2010 he signed Health Care Reform legislation into law. 1.              Socialist intervention into American society. “Obama” is planning an explosive immigration reform which is the KGB order. He is ready to  turn 12 million poor illegal Latinos into US citizens-revolutionaries. In 2016 they'll get green cards, by 2020  they'll get citizenship and bring here all their family members - around 50-60 million unemployed poorly educated  people. And that will be the death of America, the end of American Constitution and the birth of a totalitarian "Obama” or any other KGB appointed U.S.President  - forever " Communist regime. 2.              “Boiling point” strategy Rising unemployment and inflation, budget deficits all over the country is another Obama's trick, planned by KGB . “Obama” is pushing big states like Texas, New York and California to a "boiling point" after which they might take serious steps towards independence . USSR collapsed the same way -  now Putin  wants revenge using “Obama” as a hammer. 3. KGB ordered “Obama”  to insert a small trick into the U.S. National Security Strategy :  “Analysts, agents and officers who protect us must have access to all relevant intelligence throughout the government”. A very dangerous trick – just imagine Russian recruit a “mole” with access to all relevant information .   I call this a “hologram technology”. Russian “mole”, who’s working  for CIA as, say, nuclear proliferation analyst, has access to  “all relevant information” throughout US intelligence community: Air Force Intelligence, Army Intelligence, Central Intelligence Agency, Coast Guard Intelligence, Defense Intelligence Agency, Department of Energy, Department of Homeland Security, Department of State  Bureau of Intelligence and Research, Department of the Treasury, Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Marine Corps Intelligence, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency , National Reconnaissance Office, National Security Agency Navy Intelligence, Office of Director of National Intelligence  Do you understand what that means ? I’ll explain. The White House is sending requests for information or research on a certain political or economic problem, situation in Europe, Asia, etc.  A “mole’ is sending those request to Moscow and Russians calculate the US strategy, understand ? Besides, “mole” is stealing information from all above mentioned agencies. We have to stop it today – just for that deadly blow to American national security Obama has to go to jail as the enemy of state.

                                Russia’s Savior

Russia has the world's largest reserves of mineral and energy resources, the world's largest forest reserves and 25% of the world's fresh water.  Russia is energy superpower : #1 in the world in natural gas reserves, #8 in oil reserves and #2 in coal reserves. The sources of energy  (oil, gas, uranium, coal) are rapidly coming to an end. At the same time China, India, Brazil, Indonesia are rapidly growing.  We have 9 billion people on Earth with energy, food and fresh water supplies coming to an end in the next 25-40 years. That means that 500 million Europeans and 300 million Americans have to lower their standards of living - and they will not accept this ! On top of it we have the global financial and economic crisis which is actually killing America. The only way out - to capture resources that still remain to preserve our standards of living. The World War III is coming - the war between USA and  Russia. Actually, civil war in Ukraine, the closest Russia’s neighbor and partner is a huge threat for Russia as USA and NATO support the nationalist regime. Kremlin supports the pro-Russian rebels. Russian leader Putin will do everything and will pay anything to postpone the war as long as possible.

                                                        Chapter 2. KILL OBAMA IMG6001496930199 CIA  sent this invitation for a dinner with Obama in NYC to set me up after the the President's assassination. March 12, 2010, New York.  Actually, an invitation for a dinner with President  Obama and Speaker of the House  Pelosi came  from DCCC (Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee) signed by Ian Sugar, Director of Development, Hillary Clinton’s big friend. "Mike, we wanted to make sure you received this invitation for a very special occasion. We would love to have you be a part of this event. DCCC needs your support to fight for the American people. We hope to see you on May 13th in new York City".   Surprise and a very suspicious one. I had to come to St. Regis Hotel, New York  to join President Barack Obama Thursday, May 13, 2010 (St. Regis Hotel Ballroom, Two East 55th Street at Fifth Avenue, New York, New York). 6:00 p.m. – Host Committee VIP Reception       6:30 p.m. – Dinner

 I got St. Regis ballroom plan. Actually, I could eliminate “Obama” but it’s a suicide to work on the roof of the hotel.   IMG6001496930381 All I had to do was: buy 9mm Zig Zauer  (Secret Service pistol), practice shooting in the forest upstate , come to St. Regis unarmed, disarm any Secret  Service fat pig and do the job. IMG6001489867187 Obama protected by a pig. But.  I'm 40 years in espionage business and I'm always listening to what my intuition says. It was a 100% CIA pre-assassination setup - I come, they kill “Obama”, arrest me and kill me in a jail same day.  Same thing they did to Lee Harwey Oswald.  And who was interested ?

IMG6001496931778 June 8, 2010 Bill Clinton and Obama's murders were not Patrick Fitzerald's ( the U.S. Special Counsel) business - he  didn't want to get a bullet from CIA. U.S. Office of Special Counsel 1730 M Street, NW, Suite 218, Washington, DC 20036, 202-254-3600  RE: OSC File No: HA-10-2641 Dear Mr. Kryzhanovsky, This letter is in the response to the complaint you filed with the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) regarding the Hatch Act. Specifically, you allege, that Mr. Leon Panetta [CIA Director - M.K.] violated the Hatch Act through his role in the "Millenium Hilton" operation.... We are closing our file without further action... The Hatch Act (5 U.S.C. p.p. 7321-7326) governs the political activity of most federal executive branch employees.... Your allegation that Mr. Panetta  is involved in a CIA-FBI conspiracy, which you call the "Millenium Hilton" operation, even if true, is not the activity that falls within the prohibitions of the Hatch Act. Therefore, we are closing the above referenced file. Sincerely, Erica S. Hamrick, Deputy Chief, Hatch Act Unit

Hello, Robert Mueller ! January, 20 2011  FBI special agent Eric Perry, (tel. 718) 286-7100),  informed me that my actions [telling the truth - M.K.] made "high authorities, people on the very top  extremely nervous".  Perry said I better disappear for some time if I don’t want to end up at FBI “special jail”. IMG6001496938479 I have a question for Robert Mueller, Special Counsel who's overseeing  the investigation into ties between President Trump’s campaign and Russian officials, who was FBI Director in 2011 : FBI has its own secret  jail in New York City to torture and kill people - is it constitutional ?  

                                         Now, who wanted Obama dead ?                                          Putin hates him because he got out of control.

                                                   PART 3. HILLARY ALIVE ,  REMOVED

IMG6001496929969 July 30, 2012, New York City I met the U.S. Secret Service special agent Jason Pietramica (tel. 718-840-1000). A long and dirty talk on Clintons. He asked my political views, then I had to explain my attitude towards  Hillary and Bill. Then he moved closer to the job - what about attending their public appearances ? Now, after I quit CIA,,  Secret Service took the job to press me and get back  to kill politicians.

                                               Who wanted Hillary Clinton dead ?                                                Putin hates her, she hates him.

IMG6001496941248 Mark Sullivan, the U.S. Secret service Director at the time . Who ordered you to kill these people ?

                                                          PRICELESS COMPUTER

Stolen computer, priceless.

March17, 2017 Secret Service Agent’s Laptop Containing Trump Tower Floor Plan and Hillary Email Probe Stolen in NYC. A laptop computer containing floor plans for Trump Tower, information about the Hillary Clinton email investigation and other national security information was stolen from a Secret Service agent’s vehicle in Brooklyn, NY. Authorities have been frantically searching for the laptop since it was stolen Thursday morning.Some items stolen along with the laptop — including coins and a black bag with the Secret Service insignia on it — were later recovered. But the laptop, along with other documents described as “sensitive,” were still being sought.The thief stepped out of a car, possibly an Uber, on a street in Bath Beach and stole the laptop from the agent’s vehicle, which was parked in the driveway of her home. He was then seen on video walking away from the scene with a backpack. The agent reported the laptop contained floor plans for Trump Tower, evacuation protocols and information regarding the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server.

 Hillary's e-mails case. In March 2015, it became publicly known that Hillary Clinton, during her tenure as United States Secretary of State, had used her family's private email server for official communications, rather than official State Department email accounts maintained on federal servers. Those official communications included thousands of emails that would retroactively be marked classified by the State Department. The controversy unfolded against the backdrop of Clinton's 2016 presidential election campaign and hearings held by the United States House Select Committee on Benghazi. Some experts, officials, and members of Congress have contended that her use of private messaging system software and a private server violated State Department protocols and procedures, as well as federal laws and regulations governing recordkeeping. In response, Clinton has said that her use of personal email was in compliance with federal laws and State Department regulations, and that former secretaries of state had also maintained personal email accounts, though not their own private email servers.

After allegations were raised that some of the emails in question contained classified information, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) initiated an investigation regarding the origin and handling of classified emails on Clinton's server. The FBI Report found that some of the emails originated in five other intelligence agencies. The FBI found that all classified emails on Clinton's server were stored and sent from "unclassified systems", violating the same policies as those on Clinton's personal server. FBI Director James Comey identified 110 emails as containing information that was classified at the time it was sent, including 65 emails deemed "Secret" and 22 deemed "Top Secret". None of these had classification markings. However, as noted in Clinton's non-disclosure agreement, unmarked classified information should be treated the same as marked classified information.[citation needed] An additional three email chains contained "portion markings", simply a "(C)" indicating "Confidential" in front of one or more paragraphs. These were not included in Comey's list of 110 because the State Department failed to confirm they were classified at the time they were sent. Clinton told the FBI she did not know the meaning of "(C)". Nearly 2,100 emails on the server were retroactively marked as classified by the State Department.

In May 2016, the State Department's Office of the Inspector General released an 83-page report about the State Department's email practices, including Clinton's. On July 5, 2016, Comey announced that the FBI's investigation had concluded that Clinton was "extremely careless" in handling her email system but recommended that no charges be filed against her. On July 6, 2016, Attorney General Loretta Lynch announced that no charges would be filed. On July 7, the State Department reopened its probe into the email controversy. On October 28, 2016, Comey notified Congress that the FBI had started looking into newly discovered emails that may be pertinent to the case. Law enforcement officials stated the emails were found on a laptop belonging to Clinton aide Huma Abedin's husband, Anthony Weiner, during an investigation of his sexting scandals. On November 6, Comey notified Congress that the FBI had not changed its conclusion, reached in July, regarding Clinton's emails.

CONCLUSIONS: 1. Secret Service is investigating Hillary Clinton's e-mails case, because they consider her to be a threat to President Trump. 2. Hillary Clinton is a threat to Trump because Secret Service has facts to prove the fact that she's working for Russian President Putin, not for America.

 HERE WHAT SECRET SERVICE HAS ON HILLARY CLINTON

Part 2. Hillary Clinton - Putin's asset.

That's what Secret Service has.

Hillary Clinton is KGB superspy. Why  she transformed herself from Putin's worst enemy (She said once "Putin is KGB and KGB agents have no soul" - Putin barked back "A politician must have at least one thing - a head").

 Hillary Clinton was  playing a  big game to get Rockefellers', Rothschilds" (they need her as she's hawkish enough to start World War III for Russian resources) and Putin's support to get elected in 2016.

June 6, 2008 Bilderberg Club meeting, Westfields Marriott Hotel, Chantilly, Northern Virginia. Hillary and  Obama  were invited for the Bilderberg Club meeting. Both denied the fact. Next day, June 7, Hillary announced she's out of the race. Both Obama and Hillary tried to keep this meeting a secret.    Bilderberg Club rules the world and they actually ordered Hillary Clinton to leave the presidential race. They appointed Obama the President. Henry Kissinger is the oldest permanent member of the club and the best friend of Putin, Russian President. Kissinger used to meet Putin in Moscow every year, 2000 through 2012. The talks were secret. Question: How much Putin paid Kissinger to kick Hillary out and appoint Obama the President ? How strong is Putin if Rockefellers sent Kissinger to negotiate secret deals with him so many times ?   And what happened to Hillary ? After KGB appointed Bill Clinton (1992) and a former KGB Putin appointed “Barack Obama” (2008) American president  via Bilderberg Club and its Chair Henry Kissinger, Hillary met Kissinger and Putin in person and begged them to do her a favor and put her in the Oval Office in 2016. She talked to Bill Clinton openly and made a decision to work for Putin. She started the job  after she opened the door to her Department of State office in January,2009. She turned on her computer and sent her first unsecured secret e-mail to her employees and her temporary boss in Kremlin. Smart game, great politician, big crime.   Proof ? The biggest secret for America now is the scandal with thousands of confidential e-mails a Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was sending from her home computer, 30,000 e-mails which she deleted completely after she left the job.

She committed a federal crime and we see that the "e-mail case' of Hillary Clinton and computer case of a former CIA Director John Deutch  are identical.  

  You have to combine the "e-mail case' of Hillary Clinton and a strange case of John Deutch. who was born in Belgium to a Russian father and was the only Russian CIA Director in 1995-1996, appointed by Bill Clinton.  Two days after Deutch retired from the CIA, on December 16, 1996, technical personnel discovered at his house highly classified information stored on his unclassified computer, loaded from his agency computer. He refused to explain why he violated strict security rules. In 1997 the CIA began a formal security investigation. It was determined that his computer was often connected to Internet with no security, and that Deutch was known to leave memory cards with classified data in his car. Deutch used his influence to stop further investigation and the CIA took no action until 1999, when it suspended his security clearances. He admitted the security breach but refused to explain why he, a CIA Director, communicated via Internet with a Russian chemist (!). In 1999 the Defense Department started its own investigation, and it appeared that in 1993 Defense Undersecretary Deutch used unsecured computers at home and his America Online account to access classified defense information. He declined departmental requests in 1994 to allow security systems to be installed at his residence. In 2000 Senator Charles Grassley asked the Justice Department to look into the case. Nothing happened – why ? Since 2000 Deutch is MIT Professor and Director for Citigroup. In 2001 Bill Clinton pardoned Deutch blocking any investigations.

   Hillary Clinton is a “mole”, who was following same protocol, doing same thing - you don't have to communicate with Putin, you just use unprotected computer, an open book for Russians. Why she's working for Russians ? Now we know that in 2008 the Bilderberg club with Kissinger on top of it, best Putin’s buddy, kicked her out of the race. This time she might get their full support. The difference between KGB agent Deutch and KGB agent Hillary Clinton was - she had enough brains to delete all e-mails she was sending to Russian President, a former KGB intelligence officer Vladimir Putin.

  Hillary Clinton lied to the FBI or she lied on a State Department form as she began her tenure as Secretary of State. This conclusion appears inescapable after Friday's FBI document release related to the Clinton email investigation. As revealed by those FBI documents, Clinton told agents that she could not recall "any briefing or training by State related to the retention of federal records of handling of classified information". But the second paragraph of the Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement—which she signed on January 22, 2009—states that "I hereby acknowledge that I have received a security indoctrination concerning the nature and protection of classified information."      Secretary Clinton kept  sending top secret information over her private e-mail account even after leaving the State Department May 23, 2013 Clinton sent a message to a group of diplomats and top aids about the "123 Deal" with the United Arab Emirates. The "123 Deal" was a 2009 agreement between the Emirates and the USA on sharing materials and technology for nuclear energy production. Her last day as a secretary of State was February 1, 2013. Putin was happy.

   HOW PUTIN PAID HER FOR SECRET E-MAILS

  Let's talk about cash connections between the Clintons and participants in the State Department’s failed five-year effort to improve, or “reset,” US-Russia relations during Hillary’s reign as Secretary of State. Key players in a main component of the reset — a Moscow-based Silicon Valley-styled campus for developing biomed, space, nuclear and IT technologies called “Skolkovo” — poured tens of millions of dollars into the Clinton Foundation. As the Obama administration’s top diplomat, Hillary Clinton was at the center of US efforts on the reset in general and Skolkovo in particular.  Of the 28 US, European and Russian companies that participated in Skolkovo, 17 of them were Clinton Foundation donors” or sponsored speeches by former President Bill Clinton.   Skolkovo Foundation member and then-Cisco CEO John Chambers donated between $1 million and $5 million in personal and corporate cash to the Clinton Foundation.   But Skolkovo wound up making America less safe, because it shared advanced US technology that Russia can develop for both civilian and military applications, a concern raised already by Army and FBI officials.  Many of Skolkovo’s research projects involved “dual-use” technologies, meaning they would have both civilian and military uses, the report said, citing one in particular — a hybrid airship called an “Atlant” developed at the Skolkovo Aeronautical Center. Particularly noteworthy is Atlant’s ability to deliver military cargoes,” including “radar surveillance, air and missile defense and delivery of airborne troops.

            Chapter 2. HILLARY REMOVED

  I made the biggest mistake in my life when I've  helped Russian President Putin to steal the inevitable victory from people's presidential candidate 2016 - Hillary Clinton. IMG6001496937390  IMG6001496937428 I was sure she was going to start World War III with Russia. Instead, I brought to power Donald Trump who's going to terminate the United States.

Here's the story.

To: Vladimir Putin President of the Russian Federation Kremlin, Moscow September 4, 2013 (via special form on Putin's personal site kremlin.ru)

Dear Mr. President, The information I got recently from reliable sources indicates that Hillary Clinton, a former Secretary of State, is preparing for a very aggressive presidential campaign 2016. It's important that she's supported not only by the Rockefellers clan ($3 trln worth) but also by high-ranked neocons, hawks like a former VP Dick Cheney and also the the majority of  Joint Chiefs of Staff. That means that Hillary Clinton, in case she's elected the U.S. President in 2016, will start the World War III with Russia for Russian resources. That's why I advise you, Mr. President to use your propaganda, political and technical possibilities (FSO and its division, FSO Special Communications and Information  Service) to compromise Hillary Clinton and remove her from the presidential race 2016.  Thank you. Mikhail Kryzhanovsky, a former KGB intelligence officer, a former CIA "Filament"

Earlier I've sent the same letter to Sergey Naryshkin, Russian Duma (the parliament) Speaker, KGB spy in 1978-1982, a former Putin's Executive Office Chief in 2008-2011. IMG6001480474249 Sergey Naryshkin He sent the letter to FSB (Russian Counterespionage Service) Chief Alexander Bortnikov, because I've mentioned a possible threat of Putin's assassination by the Secret Service team. IMG6001480452128 Alexander Bortnikov, FSB Director

Secret Service  killers (Klemm, Lieneman, Gurevich - see business cards below) were hunting me in New York in 2012, later Secret Service special agent  Jason Pietramica asked me if I want to go to Moscow myself (to kill Putin, of course). IMG6001490894400 IMG6001481416386 I can imagine how angry Putin was when Naryshkin showed him my letter - he had no doubt that Hillary Clinton, his personal enemy, was behind the Secret Service planned murder. FSB answered me fast: IMG6001480446652

October 3, 2013 Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation 101100, 2 Lubyanskaya sq, Moscow

Dear Mikhail Ivanovich, We received and looked into your  letter to the Duma. We'll use the information you've provided.

N.N. Zakharov, Chief, Center of Public Relations

Remember FSB (a former KGB) have very well trained killers - I was a member (a sniper) of  KGB "Nabat" anti-terror team and I know very well how they work. If Putin orders to kill Hillary Clinton, they'll do it no matter what.

Putin got my letter and answered  fast, because Hillary Clinton was his personal enemy since 2008 presidential campaign when she said:" He [Putin] was a KGB agent. By definition he doesn’t have a soul," He got very angry and punched her back saying that at a minimum, she  should have a head," Besides, Putin knows me in person as the author of the White House Special Handbook and Espionage Handbook, and that's why took my warning very seriously.

IMG6001480383705

From: President of The Russian Federation Executive Office Directorate for Communication Ilinka str, 23/16, Moscow September 18, 2012 #A26-16-545097

To. M.Kryzhanovsky

We inform you the letter to you've sent via e-form was received by the President. The letter has been sent to the  Federal Protective Service.

A.Maksukov Adviser, Directorate of Communication

Attention.  The Federal Protective Service (FSO) is a federal government agency concerned with the tasks related to the protection of several, mandated by the relevant law, high-ranking state officials, including the President of Russia, as well as certain federal properties. FSO includes the Russian Presidential Security Service. The FSO has roughly 50,000 uniformed personnel plus several thousand plainclothed personnel and controls the Cheget that can be used in the event of global nuclear war.  It also operates a secure communications system for senior government officials. The FSO is a powerful institution with a range of rights and powers, including the right to conduct searches and surveillance without warrants, make arrests, and give orders to other state agencies.  FSO includes Special Communications and Information  Service of Russia (Spetsviaz or SCID). It is is a cryptologic intelligence agency  of Russia responsible for the collection and analysis of foreign communications and foreign signals intelligence, as well as protecting Russian government communications and information systems,which involves information security and cryptanalysis/cryptography. It is the equivalent to the United States National Security Agency.

Putin appointed these two chiefs to be  in charge of the "Hillary-2016" Project. IMG6001480438689 Dmitriy Kochnev, FSO Director

IMG6001480438540 Alexey Mironov, the Special Communications and Information Director

Kochnev prepared the "Hillary" Project plan to be signed by Putin and executed by Mironov. According to this plan SCID : 1.  Had penetrated the servers of the Democratic National Committee  and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the DNC chair,  Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta  in person, whose private emails were published by WikiLeaks in the days leading up to the Democratic convention. Putin called the hacking and release of nearly 20,000 emails from the DNC "a public service". The e-mails  the DNC's favoritism of Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders published by Wikileaks compromised Dems' leaders and Hillary too. 2. Hacked Hillary Clinton's personal phone and computer. All information was transferred straight to Trump who got the possibility to correct his strategy. And leaked to the public. 3. Hacked the 2016 elections. How ? First, the attackers probed election offices well in advance in order to find ways to break into their computers.Second, closer to the election, when it was clear from polling data which states would have close electoral margins, the attackers spreaded malware into voting machines in some of the states, rigging the machines to shift a few percent of the vote.

                                                  PART  4.  TRUMP MUST DIE

                                               Chapter 1. HOW PUTIN HANDLES HIM

 The recruitment technology Putin used on traitor D.T.

1.Russian SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service, former KGB) starts a file on any American citizen with big money and political connections who talks positive about President Putin.

  ATTENTION : SVR has files on all American politicians who make statements on their possible run for the U.S. President. Trump made such statements and he was running for the President in 2000.

2. SVR file on Trump appeared in 2008 with the purpose of his recruitment and receiving political information from his multi[ple sources in the U.S. Congress and the White House. 3. SVR officers under cover of the Russian Consulate diplomats  met Trump in New York City in 2012-2013 and made him a very generous offer - he can get a green light to any projects in Russia in exchange for his spying for the Russian government. Trump refused the offer. That's why Putin ordered SVR Director Mikhail Fradkov to prepare a special operation, place Trump into a compromising sexual situation, blackmail him and recruit as a secret source. 4. Prostitutes were SVR female officers - Trump was too big a target to trust the street hookers. They were instructed to play most pervert sexual games with Trump including a "golden shower", "brown shower" and "pig slave" - sorry I can't go into details, check porno sites and magazines for that, please. 5. Miss Universe 2013, the 62nd Miss Universe pageant, was held on  November, 9, 2013 at the Crocus City Hall, Krasnogorsk, a suburb of Moscow, Russia. Trump came a week before and stayed at the Ritz Carlton. His Russian assistants recommended him the best Russian prostitutes ready to make him happy. Trump agreed and put himself in a trap. IMG6001487710919

Alina, Moscow, the best Russian girl "worked" for Trump ? 6. After the pageant was over, SVR officers met Trump at the hotel and left a tape and a phone number. He had no choice. They were back and he signed the regular agreement: "I, Donald Trump, agree to  help SVR and improve Russian-American relations. I'll sign my confidential reports with the alias "__________". November 9, 2013".   I think, his alias is "Tom" - Russians like when the first letter of the last name and the alias is the same.

7. Trump is the SVR secret source since 2013. Putin met him in person and he understood that this guy might be "promoted" to the U.S. President. Putin ordered  fantastic operation and the result was perfect - on November 8, 2016 Trump was elected the U.S. leader. 8. Putin ordered Trump to do a very important job - to prepare the American-Russian Friendship and Cooperation Treaty which has to exclude the possibility of the world war and keep Russia safe for at least Trump's two presidential terms.

.                                     Espionage Management

                                                Spy Code

1. No mercy, no ideology, no emotions. 2. Intuition is nothing but the ability to watch and analyze. 3. No evidence is evidence in itself. 4. Distrust is a mother of security. 5. Never look as if you are sizing up the person - that’s a sign that gives away cops and spies. 6. Don’t start first if you don’t know the rules. 7. The way you act is the way you think - behavior is a system of codes (information) which could be calculated by the enemy. Watch your face - that’s a shop window. 8. Think fast, talk slow. 9. Avoid self-programming and never think bad about yourself. 10. Don’t smoke, drink or take drugs if it’s not necessary; spare your stomach from very hot or cold food or drinks; avoid too much noise and light. 11. Don’t be shy to lie -  the more you lie the more people respect you. 12. Let people talk out and “empty their brains” - then load your information. 13. People never change - everybody wants to get pleasure and avoid pain. 14. “He knew too much” means “He talked too much.” 15. Never ask extra questions - wait. Wait and the object will get used to you and open himself - nobody can stay tense for long. 16. Lonely people live longer in espionage business. 17. “No exit” situation is the one you don’t like or don’t understand. 18. Avoid: - personal enemies (they fix negative information on you) - silent types (they notice and think too much) - other professionals (they’ll blow your identity) - extra stress (it damages your heart and blood vessels and that kills your brain and your ability to think ) - talking too much 19. The best weapon against your  enemy is his enemy. 20. “I want nothing” means “I want everything”. 21. Small lie gives birth to big distrust. How to run assets

You can get tons of information through technical devices but no device can influence decisions made by leaders of other countries. That’s why for thousands of years to come, a reliable agent will be the top tool of any special service, and their actual names have to be kept secret forever, please. Trump, VIP agent (a top government employee) is a very rare thing and depends hugely on luck, because he can make or influence big political decisions. Trump has access to the Oval Office, he can change the world and America, and can sabotage global political, economic or military actions.

                                           Categories:

A. "Garbage" (60%), the "no trust " category. Recruitment is #1 priority for the officer and a part of his working plan and very often he has to recruit people who are not born agents. You can work with a nice guy, teach him, pay him, press him — and he still avoids any cooperation (busy, sick, on vacation, etc.). It’s hard to get rid of him because, first, you have to explain to your superiors why you recruited garbage and second, there’s a rule: if you want to be very smart and innovative, a reformer, who came here to start intelligence revolution and get rid of a passive agent, recruit an active one first. Also, agents who work under pressure (blackmail) sooner or later slide into this category.    B.  TRUMP. Good agents (30%), middle category. They adhere to the rules of discipline and keep the schedule (that’s very important even if there’s no information), deliver a lot of information that you have to verify through other sources, but don’t show much initiative. Used for regular espionage: go and talk to the object, copy documents, make a recording, take pictures, listen, watch. You can trust them and check often, anyway.   C.  Born agents (10%). You are very lucky if you can recruit such people. They betray their country with pleasure and sometimes do not even ask for money because it’s in their character — they are looking for adventure or are not happy with their personal or professional life and seek improvement or revenge. They take risks, have good analytical abilities, good education, make (VIP) connections easily, "crack" any object, play the "good guy" whom you can trust. Sometimes they come to you as volunteers, and if they bring valuable stuff - recruit them Special category.Women. Women are a special category here, as elsewhere, and the rule is: if you can’t recruit a real agent, you recruit a woman. It’s not professional to recruit a woman for a serious operation, but if you want to get to an important object, a woman can introduce you. OK, you can recruit a US Senator’s secretary or a typist from the Pentagon, but it will be on your conscience if she gets caught. Such cases entail a life sentence, usually — how would you feel? Besides, women often fall in love with their objects and tell them everything. Finally, a married woman is much bigger problem than a married man.

                                                        Recruitment rules

Recruit a small number of well-informed people. Do not recruit: - volunteers (unless it’s a "mole" or other government employee who brings you top secret information right away. In a counter-intelligence set-up, a "volunteer" will try to get information about you, telling the minimum about himself.) - persons with low educational and intellectual level - people under 30 or over 70, unless it’s a VIP. (Did someone get Jim Baker? Dick Cheney?) - mafia members - people who are happy with their lives and careers The best formula when you recruit is a mix of money and ideology (brainwashing). It’s not necessary to sign recruitment obligations — people take that as a blackmail tool. It’s enough if the fellow brings a good piece of information and get paid (make a video, anyway).

                                                Recruitment Pyramid

Priority recruitment candidates in the USA: Trump The White House staff The Cabinet and federal agencies The US Congress Big corporations Big scientific institutions Local politicians VIP world (celebrities - big media, show biz, big sport)

                                             Candidates for recruitment

1. Trump. 2. All spies who work in the USA under legal "cover" as diplomats, reporters, scientists, businessmen, actors, artists, musicians, sportsmen have the legal right to make and develop any contacts and invite people to private parties; then they "transfer" these contacts to professional recruiters. Any embassy can invite any politician to official and private parties and "work" with him there. Besides, all those people can invite prospective candidates to their countries or to other country to develop the contact; it’s much easier to recruit abroad. And remember, any contact, any talk, any piece of biography is already information. 3. You can get information about candidates through other agents and through the media. 4. It’s useful to install listening devices in the government buildings or listen to the phones, and collect compromising information on politicians. I recommend listening to the phones all over the city, if it’s the capital of the country.

"Golden" rules you follow dealing with Trump, top traitor

1. Do not tell Trump about problems and mistakes of the agency, about your personal problems, about other agents, about his own file and compromising information you have on him. 2. Don’t show Trump any classified documents - you might provoke him to sell the information to somebody else. 3. Don’t trust Trump too much; they can use you to compromise their personal enemies. 4. Never criticize Trump - be an adviser. Don’t talk straight if he avoids cooperation or brings you garbage - just reduce or stop payments, or get rid of him. 5. You lose Trump  if you don’t pay him for a job well done, ask him to "produce" fake information (to show your bosses how much great espionage activity you have going on) or if you don’t care about his personal security and his personal problems (health, career). And — never give poison to your agent for security reasons.

                                      Questioning Trump

This is of extreme importance - the right question brings you the right answer and top secret info. Give Trump a chance to tell and show you everything he’s brought, no matter how chaotic the story might be or how ordinary the documents look. Don’t make written notices. Don’t bring written questions even if you are talking about some advanced technology — look and be professional. Don’t let Trump analyze the information before he talks to you and don’t let him bring it in a written form - it’s usually not complete; he can lose it; or it may be stolen from him. If there are documents, he has to bring a microfilm. Ask questions — when? where? what happened? why? what’s going to happen next? After that you tell the story back to Trump and he adds details. At the end of the meeting give the agent another task and don’t ask him to bring you "something," because he’ll bring you just that "something" and nothing else. Remember, questioning is not interrogation; do not bring another officer to the meeting because it will look like cross interrogation.

                                         Teaching Trump

Teach your Trump to: - follow security rules while talking to people, working with the documents and especially meeting the officer (some foreign agencies practice open contacts with many people, hoping that the meeting with the agent won’t attract much attention — I don’t recommend that) - always stay calm in stressful situations - always keep discipline and come in time - use analytic abilities working with people and documents - ask yourself as many questions as you can

                                          Checking Trump

You can never be sure you are not working with a "double agent," even if he brings you top secret stuff. Besides, agents are human beings and they make mistakes — they forget about security, spend too much money, talk too much and ask extra questions; if arrested they may not play the hero but will tell everything. Anyway, you can check Trump: a. by fake arrest followed by severe interrogation. b. through provocation (tell him you know about his "double game" and watch his behavior after the meeting (it’s good to have a listening device or a camera in his house). c. by making an analysis of all the information and documents he delivers and comparing it with information from other sources. d. through other agents. e. through your "mole" in counter-intelligence (if you’re lucky). f. through technical devices (reading the mail, listening to the phone, secret searching his house and office, watching him through hidden cameras, trying surveillance in the street).

                             Trump termination (one-way ticket)

It doesn’t happen often but you have to know some special situations when you have to terminate Trump: 1.Trump knows too much (talks too much) and is ready to betray you. 2. Trump is under suspicion and you can’t help him for political reasons (diplomatic, international scandal, etc.) — in such a case an accident could be staged. It happens that the agent is too close to President. 3. Trump was involved in special operations (murders) and is dangerous as a witness. 4. Trump is trying to blackmail you. 5. You need to press (blackmail) other agents.

                                                 TRUMP TO BOIL AMERICA UP

"President" Trump and his boss, the U.S. President Ivanka have a hell of a job to do in 2017. IMG6001493312491 On one side, they have listen to Rockefellers who placed them in the Oval Office and pay back with World War III against Russia for Russian resources. They already tried to push Russia into a civil war in Ukraine - and failed. They tried to get Russia into Syrian mess - and failed. Now they try to play North Korean card - it's a dead end. IMG6001493402722 Even Melania is ready for a civil war or WWIII. On the other side, Trump was blackmailed and recruited by Russian President Putin (read the story below) and have to work for him and explain somehow the business to Ivanka. Putin, a former KGB spy,  said once that collapse of the Soviet Union was the biggest tragedy of the 21st century. KGB officers never joke in public. Putin meant revenge. And revenge is the U.S. civil war - religions +races+radical leftists -  which has to cut the country into pieces and eliminate it before the World War III starts. This is the preemptive Russian attack which is much more powerful than nuclear missiles.  That's why Trump daily turns the government and the nation into chaos and hatred.  Bravo, Putin ! IMG6001493312457

                                   PUTIN RECRUITED KUSHNER

IMG6001496708184 Putin's assets : Flynn (left), Kushner (center) Маy 26, 2017  During the transition, Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, proposed to the Russians that they set up a secret channel of communication using secure Russian facilities. That's what the Russian ambassador to the United States told Moscow about a December conversation he had with Trump's son-in-law and top adviser. Why would Trump's transition team need to secretly talk to the Russians, using their Russian channels? The White House declined to comment.

ATTENTION  : ONCE YOU ASK FOR A SECRET MEETING, KGB RECRUITS YOU RIGHT AWAY, BECAUSE YOU COME WITH A SECRET INFORMATION, OF COURSE.

Kushner is working for Putin. Evidence: 1) Kushner is now a focus of the FBI's investigation into Russia meddling. Of interest to FBI investigators are Kushner's several meetings with the Russian ambassador. 2) Kushner didn't share those meetings with the Russians on his security clearance form. A security clearance is required for anyone who is privy to the nation's deepest secrets. 3) FBI investigators are also interested in how Russia helped use computer bots to target and push negative information on Hillary Clinton (and positive information about Trump) on Facebook. Trump campaign's data analytics operation was supervised by Kushner. 4) Kushner proposed setting up a secret communications channel between Trump's transition team and Russia using Russian facilities, according to Russia ambassador's report home. U.S. officials say this was an apparent move by Kushner to block any monitoring of Trump's activities ahead of the inauguration from the United States.

IMG6001496942629 March 20, 2017 I got a phone call from Scott, Secret Service special agent (646-592-2686) who asked me to meet him in Rego Park Center café, Queens, New York. His first option was the Service  field office in Queens, but I've rejected it. Scott didn't want to talk much on the phone, but I've insisted on the details. He said he wanted to talk about Trump. Listen, these guys are not insane. They want me to kill Trump - I understand, but who's ordering them and who's paying them ? IMG6001496942337 William Callahan, the U.S. Director at the time He promised he'll come alone but then he made a mistake saying that he'll bring "somebody". It was enough for me to say "no, I don't trust you". March 21, 2017 I've called the Secret Service Director's office, FBI and CIA HQs and demanded to stop the murder. Callahan's assistant promised they won't kill me. The rest were scared to death.                              Again, who's interested ?                              My former boss, FBI Director Comey ?                              Or Putin after Trump refused to cooperate with SVR (former KGB) ?

BONUS. HOW TO KILL AND HOW TO PROTECT AMERICAN PRESIDENT.

                            I need my three bosses cooperation to kill American President

I don't have to plan a huge conspiracy to kill a traitor and a terrorist. All I need is a small conspiracy of my bosses - FBI, CIA and Secret Service directors. Why ?

August 5, 1962, Los Angeles, California CIA agents killed Marilyn Monroe (staged suicide - "acute barbiturate poisoning") who got information on planned JFK assassination and desperately tried to contact him or his brother, Robert Kennedy. It’s simple to kill without any traces or in the body if you use a suppository.

November 22, 1963, Dallas, Texas President John Kennedy was assassinated at 12:30 p.m.in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas. IMG6001489932628 What's conspiracy? It’s when you ask the government a simple question and nobody wants to answer it. And if you ask the wrong questions you get the wrong answers, as with the Warren Commission. Let’s ask some good questions. Question 1. What would have happened if the snipers missed the target or Kennedy survived, being merely wounded - sniper is a human being - he makes mistakes? Answer. Kennedy would have won the 1964 Presidential election and then conceivably his brothers, Robert and Edward, would keep the Oval Office until 1984 (count the years for yourself). No war in Vietnam. The CIA would have been shut down. The FBI and Pentagon would have been "cleaned up" and "cleaned out." Question 2. Why would the CIA, FBI and big business behind them, not to mention others who had their eye on the Oval Office, take such a huge risk?

Answer.

ATTENTION. There was no risk at all and there was no "huge conspiracy - there was a "passive sabotage" operation. CIA Director John McCone, FBI Director Edgar Hoover and Secret Service Director James Rowley made a deal not to touch Lee Harvey Oswald until operation is over.

Question 3. Why was Kennedy murdered in public? President Kennedy was a sick man, taking a lot of pills daily. He had Addison’s disease which, in addition to susceptibility to infection can cause weakness, weight loss and low blood pressure; so he was taking cortisone. For his back pain Dr. Max Jacobson injected him (and Jackie) with a mixture of unspecified (!) multivitamins, hormones, steroids, enzymes, and animal organ cells. Kennedy also used cocaine, marijuana, hashish and even LSD, especially during dates with women, including prostitutes —- for many people this was not a secret. There were enough opportunities to stage a death in private. Answer. This had to be a public execution with a very clear message for the next Presidents - "Don’t touch the CIA!" and it worked until now. I want to touch CIA.

Question 4. What was the rush? Answer. Kennedy wanted to eliminate CIA. JFK's assassination was planned by a very professional expert. It might be Gestapo Mueller who, unlike other assassins, had a very good reason to keep his mouth shut. That's why Congress wants to keep 40,000 documents on JFK case classified for another 20 years.

June 5, 1968, Los Angeles, California After winning the California primary election for the Democratic nomination for the US President, Senator Robert Kennedy was shot as he walked through the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel. Sirhan Sirhan, a 24-year-old Palestinian immigrant, was convicted of Kennedy's murder and is serving a life sentence for the crime. Robert Kennedy promised a full investigation of his brother's assassination in case he was elected.

1995, New York City, Carlyle Hotel, New York City John Kennedy Jr. who said once that his father's death investigation was the most important thing of his life, approached Princess Diana Spencer for an interview for his "George" magazine . They met at New York Carlyle Hotel where JFK dated Marilyn Monroe - a holy place for John Kennedy Jr. where he would never have "hot sex" and "try cocaine" with Diana . It was a business meeting, an "investigation" meeting. In 1995 CIA wanted me to kill somebody very important - it could be Diana and John Kennedy Jr. IMG6001489932838 August 31, 1997, Paris, France CIA used my instructions on staged car accidents to kill Princess Diana. Diana was fatally injured in a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris, which also caused the death of her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed.

Billionaire Mohammed al-Fayed, Dodi's father, recruited a "mole" inside CIA, somebody who knew the Agency had a file on Diana. He didn't get it of course through Washington, DC District Court and the mistake was - he had to recruit somebody with straight access to archives. If Diana left a notice on her talks with John Kennedy Jr for her sons, they might be next CIA victims. I can tell Mohammed al-Fayed what's in Diana's CIA file for free - surveillance documents, a video tape of the Carlyle Hotel meeting, a plan to stage the car accident, a file on me if I had to do the job. If I have to investigate Diana's death, I would start with a very simple question :what happened to the driver, the Ritz security chief Henri Paul ? He tried to out-run paparazzi by speeding down a Riverfront Expressway, but lost somehow control of the Mercedes S280 near the entrance to the Alma Tunnel and crashed into a concrete pillar at an estimated speed of 65 to 70 miles per hour. He died on impact of a severed spine and a ruptured aorta. Attention. The tests showed an extraordinary high (not explained until now) level of carbon monoxide in his blood (20.7 %), which should have caused a severe headache, dizziness, confusion and absolute aversion to alcohol. Very heavy smokers can have a level of up to 9% , and Henri Paul was not a heavy smoker. There were no ventilation problems in his apartment, office or car. The gas didn’t appear from inside Mercedes because no other passenger was affected. So, what happened to Henri Paul ?

July 16, 1999, Atlantic Ocean off Martha's Vineyard CIA killed John Kennedy Jr. in a staged plane crash. Kennedy along with his wife Carolyn and sister-in-law Lauren were reported missing when the Piper Saratoga II HP he was piloting failed to arrive at its planned destination, the Martha's Vineyard Airport in Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts.

                             Murders technologies

Regular Shooting, explosives or poison (cyanides, curare). Use a sniper or a "mouse" car (loaded with explosives and parked on the object’s route) if access to the object is impossible because of high security. Anyway, the murder is obvious and investigation is inevitable.

General scheme. The best thing to do is to recruit or " install" somebody with access to the object’s security system and get information on his schedule (plus health and habits), places where he likes to relax. Try to gain access to his phone. Then prepare the plan and train three groups: surveillance (with optics and radios), action (includes snipers, explosives technicians or staged accidents specialists), and security (these people neutralize bodyguards, witnesses and other people who could interrupt the action; they complete the action if the action group fails; and they can neutralize the action group later, if planned so; they "cover" the safe retreat of action group and "cut" the chase). For some operations you can modify the ammunition to make it more deadly – hollow cuts in the tip of the bullets will cause the lead to fragment upon impact, making a huge exit hole. You reach same effect using bullets with a drop of mercury in a hollow tip and you can also coat bullets with arsenic or cyanide. Use depleted, non-radioactive uranium bullets (uranium is much heavier than lead – it can be used to make a bullet with a smaller slug and a larger portion of explosive). Teflon bullets are good because with Teflon’s antifriction characteristics they pierce bullet proof vests.

Complex Staged accidents (suicides, catastrophes, drowning or fall, robbery or rape followed by murder, technical accident (fire, electricity, gas), drugs, weapons, poison, explosives misuse. Also, staged natural death (stroke, heart attack, chronic illness as a result of using special technical devices like irradiation).

                                             Sniper                                         "Golden" rules 1. Train yourself to shoot while you stand, sit, lie, walk, run, jump, fall down; shoot at voices, shoot in a dark room, different weather and distance, day and night; shoot one object and a group; use one gun, two guns, gun and submachine gun (some doctrines train a sniper to breathe deeply before shooting, then hold their lungs empty while he lines up and takes his shot; other go further, teaching a sniper to shoot between heartbeats to minimize barrel motion) 2. Camouflage yourself ten times before you make a single shot. Position yourself in a building (no rooftops or churches!), which offers a long-range fields of fire and all-round observation. Don’t stay in places with heavy traffic! Use unusual angles of approach. 3. Move slowly to prevent accurate counter-attack, don’t be a mark yourself 4. At distances over 300 m attempt body shots, aiming at the chest; at lesser distances attempt head shots (the most effective range is 300 to 600 meters). 5. Shoot from flanks and rear. 6. Never approach the body until you shoot it several times. 7. Careful: the object could be wearing a bulletproof vest 8. It’s important to get to the place, but it’s more important to get out alive. 9. Remember, in hot weather bullets travel higher, in cold — lower; a silencer reduces the maximum effective range of the weapon. Wind poses the biggest problem — the stronger the wind, the more difficult it is to hold the rifle steady and gauge how it will affect the bullet’s trajectory. 10..NEVER fire from the edge of a wood line – you should fire from a position inside the wood line (in the shade of shadows). 11. DO NOT cause overhead movement of trees, bushes or tall grasses by rubbing against them; move very slowly..   12. The sniper has a tendency to watch the target instead of his aiming point.

                              Practical protection during presidential appearances

1. The Secret Service must have a top-secret plan of all visits, because the advance group has to come to the place at least a week ahead and cooperate with the field FBI offices and police (foreign special services if it’s a visit abroad) paying attention to extremist groups and organizations. Officers and technicians search the place, looking for possible explosives, radioactive, biological and chemical dangerous or poisonous stuff and weapons; they check the walls, floors and ceilings; check air and water in the area; install weapons and explosives detectors and stay at the place 24/7, using night vision devices, too. (Dogs are good helpers if there is any question of explosives.) You have to check nearby houses as well (there could be people with mental health problems or dangerous criminals. Remember, the President must not appear in open areas close to apartment buildings. And the President has to be able to reach the National Security Command Center at any time. 2. If the President has to make a speech in open area there should be at least 3 security circles around him: - up to 50 ft (personal bodyguards, weapons and explosives technicians) - up to 200 ft (fast reaction anti-terror group) - up to 1000 ft (support groups, snipers, police) The security system includes both "open" and undercover groups (obvious security and people who play the crowd or service — drivers, waiters, cleaners — terrorists don’t pay attention to them, as a rule). Each group follows its instructions strictly and avoids mess (personal bodyguards are in charge of immediate protection, anti-terror group has to fight and chase terrorists, etc.). Extra people always mean extra danger, so the most secure situation is when extra people have no access to the President at all and can’t get into any of three circles. The guest list has to be triple checked to exclude anybody with criminal records who could compromise the leader. Reporters are there too and you have to tell them exactly where to wait (they have to be checked and kept separate after that), where to stand and what pictures (poses) to take; the President can’t look stupid or funny. Inside the building watch when people applaud, stand up and sit down — terrorists prefer these situations to shoot or blow explosives.

When President moves through or along the crowd, "cut" it into pieces, guard him in circles, watch people who are carrying any objects (no flowers!) — they must not approach him; watch people with hands in their pockets, those who try to touch him, shake his hand, pass any object (gift, picture, photo). They must not be allowed to do that. If anybody behaves in a suspicious way, hold him tight (so he can’t take out a gun) and "screw" him out of the crowd. In case of any attempt push the President to the ground, cover him and shoot immediately. Then leave the place as soon as possible and bring him to the hospital for a check up (even if he’s OK). The worst one – Secret Service and other agencies get inadequate intelligence information on a possible attempt or overlook important information, including anonymous letters and mail from psychos. (They must have information, even if it’s "inside" the White House conspiracy. Agents have to memorize pictures of all the most dangerous persons who are wanted in the United States and people who were involved in attempted attacks on top politicians worldwide.) The next two — extraneous people are allowed access to the President or extraneous people stay in the area close enough to shoot the President. In 1997, a France Press reporter took a picture of the Clintons dancing during their vacation on the Virgin Islands — they were dressed for the Caribbean and were happy in their privacy. Luckily, it was just a reporter, but what if it had been a sniper? What was the Secret Service doing? Then the picture was published worldwide and Hillary Clinton was furious – she didn’t look attractive at all. The last two major errors occur when (1) you can’t identify the potential terrorists in the crowd and (2) you react too slow or waste time evacuating the President.
