“It’s the Russians.” FBI says: no it’s not

Posted on by

What makes the situation particularly delicious is the fact that the SOURCE of the story is the New York Times. And that they knew it back in late October of this year. Yet no one seems to remember the story. Let us refresh:

Investigating Donald Trump, F.B.I. Sees No Clear Link to Russia

by Eric Lichtblau and Steven Lee Myers

WASHINGTON — For much of the summer, the F.B.I. pursued a widening investigation into a Russian role in the American presidential campaign. Agents scrutinized advisers close to Donald J. Trump, looked for financial connections with Russian financial figures, searched for those involved in hacking the computers of Democrats, and even chased a lead — which they ultimately came to doubt — about a possible secret channel of email communication from the Trump Organization to a Russian bank.

Law enforcement officials say that none of the investigations so far have found any conclusive or direct link between Mr. Trump and the Russian government. And even the hacking into Democratic emails, F.B.I. and intelligence officials now believe, was aimed at disrupting the presidential election rather than electing Mr. Trump.

How incredibly odd that no one is referencing this article now. Does that not make you wonder just a teensy-weensy bit? Isn’t the following just a little odd also?

Hillary Clinton’s supporters, angry over what they regard as a lack of scrutiny of Mr. Trump by law enforcement officials, pushed for these investigations.

So the FBI clears Hillary Clinton and, additionally, responds to her request to look into Trump’s connection with the Russians?

Supporters of Mrs. Clinton have argued that Mr. Trump’s evident affinity for Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin — Mr. Trump has called him a great leader and echoed his policies toward NATO, Ukraine and the war in Syria — and the hacks of leading Democrats like John D. Podesta, the chairman of the Clinton campaign, are clear indications that Russia has taken sides in the presidential race and that voters should know what the F.B.I. has found.

And yet, where is the evidence that the Russians were responsible? The FBI didn’t find it.

Still, they have said that Mr. Trump himself has not become a target. And no evidence has emerged that would link him or anyone else in his business or political circle directly to Russia’s election operations.

Then there is this link, mostly ignored by the American Media Maggots because it does not follow the meme of “Russians” and “Trump.” That is to say, the NSA. Hillary Clinton outed the NSA and compromised GAMMA level security. They were not pleased. It is, after all, the NSA that has the thousands of square feet of Cray XK supercomputers.in its basements at Fort Meade and elsewhere. But where was the NSA in this? Conspicuously silent.

So let me see if I’ve got this right. When the FBI cleared Hillary Rodham Clinton and said there was insufficient cause to seek an indictment with regard to her emails, that was a good and valid decision.

Yet, when the FBI says there is no evidence to suggest the Russians are involved with Donald Trump or the presidential campaign, they are not to be believed?

And isn’t it odd that everyone — ahem, excuse me, the Demorats and Leftists — want to shoot whatever messenger there may be and not recognize the importance of the messages themselves?

That Hillary Rodham Clinton, her staffers, her campaign, was rife with corruption, cheating and endless lies?

Apparently Leftists think we have no memory or internet access.

Please watch the video.

“Is this person going for the hypocrite of the year award?”

Yes ma’am, he is a Leftist and that’s what Leftists do. It’s their stock in trade. If you haven’t recognized this by now, shame on you.

Amazon: killing the unskilled laborer

Posted on by

unskilled-laborAnd creating an entirely new cultural, social and business paradigm.

I cannot emphasize this more: our country — nay, the planet — has just been turned upside down. I suspect you think I’m radically overstating the issue. You’ll soon discover that I am not.

Leftist Jeff Bezos is about to not only turn retail business on its head, he is about to gut those persons who vote Demorat and/or Leftist. Because he is about to put them all out of work.

First, what is AmazonGo?

From Amazon.com:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Amazon Go?
Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the world’s most advanced shopping technology so you never have to wait in line. With our Just Walk Out Shopping experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout. (No, seriously.)

How does Amazon Go work?
Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our Just Walk Out technology automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in a virtual cart. When you’re done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.

How big is the store?
Our roughly 1,800 square feet of retail space is conveniently compact so busy customers can get in and out fast.

What do I need to get started?
All you need is an Amazon account, a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app.

Why did you build Amazon Go?
Four years ago we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shopping experience with no lines and no checkout? Could we push the boundaries of computer vision and machine learning to create a store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go and Just Walk Out Shopping.

What can I buy at Amazon Go?
We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of grocery essentials ranges from staples like bread and milk to artisan cheeses and locally made chocolates. You’ll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds we’re excited to introduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one of our chef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, with all the ingredients you need to make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.

So I can just shop normally?
Yes! Just browse and shop like you would at any other store. Then you’re on your way. No lines, no checkout.

Perhaps you’re asking, at this point, am I nothing more than a shill for Amazon? Why such a lengthy quotation from Amazon?

I’m not a shill for Amazon. But I want you to understand the basics up front. I want you to understand what Amazon is offering initially and how it will itself morph and change to something else entirely, bringing the rest of the retail industry kicking and screaming along with it.

Trust me, with Amazon this is an experiment. It will expand from simply convenient foodstuffs. And beware: it accomplishes this feat of convenience by completely recording everything there is to know and see about you, storing the information into company databases. If it is digital it can be hacked. If you partake of the experiment any semblance of privacy you thought you once had will be well and truly gone, never to be re-established again.

THE LOGICAL EXTENSION:

This is a time when unskilled workers are demanding and, in many cases and locales, acquiring a $15-per-hour minimum “living” wage. The move is already having unforeseen consequences — but only unforeseen if you are a Leftist or a Demorat. Those of us with a common sense, business and logical bent knew what to expect.

Businesses have no duty whatsoever to lose money no matter what various governments legislate. A wage jump this large means that businesses have to examine all of their costs and — no shock — any business’s greatest costs are in personnel.

People are messy. They are finicky and critical and they get sick, take vacation, offend others, become unproductive, lazy, unhappy, pick fights, expose companies to various forms of societal lawsuits, and come with mandatory workers’ comp, medical and other benefits. In a word, people are expensive.

Some businesses, therefore, are now doing their best to eschew unskilled or minimally-skilled labor and instead replacing people with, in the immediate case of the restaurant industry, ordering kiosks or devices on tables from which to order and pay. In Seattle, for example, one of the first places to embrace a mandatory $15-per-hour wage rate, small businesses began to shutter their doors, close, go bankrupt or physically move outside the city to neighboring Kings County.

This is already happening. It is already a movement within business.

Now comes Amazon.

And businesses have to compete.

Do the logical extension: Amazon will expand these stores. Other retail stores and chains are allowing Amazon to take the step like the proverbial canary in the coal mine.

But what if Amazon is wildly successful?

Businesses have to compete.

This paradigm will expand to other stores and chains and various forms of retail. When the first large chain embraces the technology the others almost have no other choice. They will do so too. The time will come when you’ll enter a Costco or a WalMart or a J.C. Penney’s or a Nordstrom or a Bed Bath & Beyond, pick up what you want, and leave.

Perhaps “great” for the consumer. But what about the unskilled or minimally-skilled laborer? Their services will no longer be, on a major level, needed. How do these people primarily vote? Leftist or Demorat. And who is Jeff Bezos, owner of Amazon? A wild Leftist. Schadenfreude.

A note to those who have no motivations, have no aspirations, no skills, no interest in acquiring skills: you are about to be crushed.

REPERCUSSIONS:

First, the only persons needed to work those first Amazon stores will be those who prepare the food, stock shelves and clean. Cashiers and/or human interaction will be mostly absent. I suspect for some consumers this will be a blessing. I, for one, patronize a store solely to shop, not to chat, unless I need specific advice regarding, say, technological devices.

When the technology really begins to get legs, there will be pushback from unskilled labor, from, say, California’s SEIU, various unions, Leftist groups, BLM and others. I predict that you will initially see mob runs on these stores where large groups will enter and simply loot a store wholesale.

There will be massive labor, union, budgetary, business, cultural and social implications.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR LABOR:

This new paradigm will decimate the unskilled or minimally-skilled labor force. It has to. There is no other option if businesses not only wish to compete with each other nationally but internationally as well.

It will also have a major impact upon immigration. The bulk of illegal immigrants bring no skills with them; they do however bring needs like food, housing, support. Illegal Mexicans, immigrants from other nations will no longer be required to “do the jobs that no one else will do.” There are, already, machines that pick fruit and other vegetables in fields. The need for immigrants will diminish.

This is a game-changer, ladies and gentlemen.

It will not happen overnight.

But it will happen.

Jill Stein: doing Hillary Clinton’s work

Posted on by

hillary-clinton-and-jill-steinAnd Stein’s Green Party is having none of it.

First, from BizPacReview.com:

Green Party releases statement distancing itself from Jill Stein: Why only recount states Hillary lost?

by Warner Todd Huston

As failed Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein continues her crusade to help Hillary win the White House through a series of recounts in key states, her own Green Party is now saying they want nothing to do with her effort.

Why might that be, you may wonder?

Stein has targeted three key states for recounts in the hope that the vote for Trump can be overturned in favor of Democrat Party nominee Hillary Clinton. But because Stein is now working for Clinton, her own Green Party is calling foul on the recount effort.

The Green Party officially weighed in.

“The decision to pursue a recount was not made in a democratic or a strategic way, nor did it respect the established decision making processes and structures of the Green Party of the United States (GPUS),” the official press release asserts. “The recount has created confusion about the relationship between the Green and Democratic parties because the states chosen for the recount are only states in which Hillary Clinton lost. There were close races in other states such as New Hampshire and Minnesota where Clinton won, but which were not part of the recount. And this recount does not address the disenfranchisement of voters; it recounts votes that were already counted rather than restoring the suffrage of voters who were prevented from voting.”

You have to ask yourself some very basic questions when considering Jill Stein’s insistence upon recounts in the states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — as Stein received such minuscule vote counts there, overall.

These are states with a narrow Trump win over Clinton, not a narrow Stein win. Jill Stein had a remote chance.

One must ask, then: cui bono? The answer is clearly: Hillary Rodham Clinton. Those three states were expected to turn blue for Clinton but instead turned red for Trump.

The meme from Leftists then became: we must question the election results because there is clearly no way Trump could have won absent rampant cheating. Despite the massively hypocritical Hillary Rodham Clinton having said the following.

As of Saturday (12-3), Stein has dropped her pursuit of a recount in Pennsylvania. The Stein campaign will seek relief in federal court, however, because it couldn’t raise the $1 million dollar bond required by Pennsylvania for said recount by the due date. I suppose the Stein campaign expected — as Leftists are wont to do — the state to provide expensive services to her for free.

On Wednesday, November 30th, a Wisconsin judge denied Stein’s demand for a hand recount in that state, leaving it up to the individual counties to decide whether votes are counted by machine or hand. I make this notation because Hillary Clinton joined in that legal effort.

At first blush the entire situation appears to be summed up thusly: “the womenses has to stick togetha.”

More division instead of union by Leftists and Demorats.

Factually, Jill Stein raised roughly $4 million dollars (now, $6.7 million dollars, TWICE what Stein’s GPUS presidential campaign did) for recounts in those three states. That begs the obvious next question: what happens to the money left over from contributions and donations aimed at supporting the recount?

“If we raise more than what’s needed, the surplus will also go toward election integrity efforts and to promote voting system reform,” the new line on the (GPUS) website said.

As CBSNews.com writes:

But as for where the additional money can go, FEC guidelines are unclear. “There’s limited guidance from the FEC on how these funds need to be spent,” (Brendan Fischer, an associate counsel at the Campaign Legal Center) Fischer said.

Leftist pablum-speech for “anything we want it to, since we control the FEC.”

The bottom line is this. There is no evidence that voting machines were hacked, nor any evidence that the “Russians were involved.” There is evidence, however, that dead people voted, that illegals voted — prodded and abetted by Leftists, Demorats, all the way up to the Oval Office itself as this video indicates.

Consequently, there are only a limited number of conclusions one can draw about the recount, Stein, the Green Party and Hillary Clinton. They are

  • This is a propaganda/publicity stunt;
  • It’s a fundraising effort for Stein and/or the Green Party, a donor list increase;
  • It’s cover for HRC’s attempt to sour/overturn the election;
  • An overarching attempt to diminish or foil Trump by any means possible or any Conservative traction or momentum

Leftists and Demorats talk about healing America, about uniting its people when, in fact, recounts do nothing of the sort. Instead, they continue to fracture, divide and erode the confidence that Americans require in order to look forward to a new administration, fomenting instability, disrespect, incivility and precisely the kind of violence, looting, fires and riots you saw in the streets of America directly following Trump’s election — at the hands of, I should specifically emphasize, Leftists.

On the other hand, these actions and this philosophy is perfectly in keeping with the past antics of Leftists who seek not to unite — as opposed to their verbal emesis — but to continue with the wedges of division.
