Whatever path unfolds, Pelosi is not losing sight of the big picture.

One medical supply crisis we heard little about was the critical shortage of IV saline bags after hurricane Maria destroyed Puerto Rico. That went on for months. Turns out the main suppliers for US had their manufacturing of sterile saline bags concentrated in PR. As essential as sterile IV bags are for medicine and surgery, it would make sense from a national security perspective to diversify manufacturing locations.

Funny you mention Gilead - they were the ones that developed Tamiflu, which had sales skyrocket in the aughts stoked by bird flu hysteria. Rumsfeld sat on their board or something before being Sec Def. I recall some news about him talking it up.

Trump doesn’t understand why he thinks he wants to face Bernie. The invisible hands driving this don’t care so much who it is as long as it’s not Liz. She truly knows and understands their pressure points.

Those were the good days, huh. At least then his lies were a good con “I’m the only one up here who doesn’t need your money”. He’s pure mush brains today.

That just underscores how who drops out and when looms large what is still a tight field

Presumably that's also not knowing any LVEF values, since it's not being disclosed. I lean towards needing to know.

Thanks. Makes sense. I noticed Bannon's mug popping up talking about this matter which is a huge red flag. jeezus.

seems significant: mass volume online credit card using hacked identities to effect micro-donations while avoiding reporting requirements It involved two Muller investigation related individuals "...In early 2016, Khawaja wanted to create an online shopping mall for the Middle East, an Arab Amazon. He needed investors. Enter George Nader. Like Khawaja, Nader is Lebanese-American. His name might be familiar because he was a witness in the Mueller inquiry. In January 2017, Nader set up a meeting in the Seychelles that he apparently hoped would establish a back channel between the Trump administration and the Kremlin. He’s now awaiting sentence in the US, a convicted pedophile. In 2016, Nader was working for Mohammed bin Zayed (‘MbZ’) the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, part of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Khawaja says Nader told him he’d found an investor for the online mall, another member of the Emirati royal family. Khawaja told this sheikh he would need half a billion dollars to build the Arab Amazon. Just send us the details, the sheikh said, and we’ll invest the whole $500 million. [...] Khawaja says that in September 2016, Nader told him why he needed the payment engine. Abu Dhabi wanted help making ‘online micropayments’ in bulk to the Trump campaign and the RNC. He describes Nader asking for help to make it work: ‘How can we generate electronic payouts to the online donation websites? I would like you to show us how we would be able to do that.’ Khawaja wasn’t taking notes or recording these conversations. These are his recollections of what Nader said, and we have only his word. He remembers Nader explaining why they wanted to fund the Trump campaign. According to Khawaja, Nader said: ‘I’ve been meeting with the Trump campaign people…we have a deal with Trump: my boss, His Highness, made a deal that if we help Trump get elected, he’s going to be harsh on Iran, he’s going to take out the nuclear deal that the Obama administration made. That will cripple the Iranian economy and will sanction Iran from selling oil again. It will make it very difficult for them to compete in the oil market. That’s worth a hundred billion dollars to us. That’s the reason we cannot allow Hillary to win at any cost. She must lose.’ Khawaja says he asked: ‘But you really think he’s going to win? I mean, this is crazy.’ And he says that Nader replied: ‘His Highness is not stupid, he will never bet on a losing horse.’ The money would come from the Saudis. The Emiratis would run the operation, using data bought from the Chinese. Khawaja says that Nader told him: ‘We have all the data already, we have 10 million US consumers’ data. And we have endless money.’ The Russians were ‘on board’ too: ‘He said, “Yes, I have met with Putin already and we have a green light from him. Because Putin is on the same page with us. He wants Hillary to lose.” cont.

This Chinese billionaire (?) has to be beyond hysterical, or something. But while I'm not one to doubt Chinese efficiency, images of bodies being sent down flumes from upper stories isn't helping.

Right? Influenza numbers in the US alone: CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010. Is the panic simply because there’s no ‘flu shot’ for covid? Flu shots must offer some real psychological reassurance because it’s not like the annual flu shot is exactly a bullseye. Whole lotta people die from flu every year.

China Car Sales Slump 92% in First Half of February on Virus I saw speculation about at what point do economic pressures influence China to downgrade the national risk/alert status. Turns out China is downgrading that status as I type.

Something MSM won't touch: Bloody Mob Sh*t: An Interview with Lincoln's Bible / We talk Trump, Mogilevich, Epstein, Giuliani, Fred Trump, Roy Cohn, and more. Most unexpected assertion: Trump and Rudy hate each other with an "H", have bad dirt on each other, and are stuck together. Second most unexpected assertion: don't get distracted by how Epstein died. Just follow the money - money laundered for global arms dealers. I haven't read it, but I keep coming across references to the book Red Mafiya about the arrival and takeover by the Russian mob (the Vor) in NY. Happened under Rudy's watch in the 90's.

It's definitely the implanted fear, but it doesn't have to succeed: Notice how effortlessly this friend of RU foreign minister Sergei Lavrov who used to run a RU funded think tank lets this roll off his tongue: "...Over the weekend, trying to make sense of what Russians might be thinking about Bernie Sanders, I also called Andranik Migranyan, who used to run a Russian government-funded think tank attached to the Russian mission to the U.N. Perhaps more notably, he’s also a close friend and former classmate of Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. “I don’t think anyone really respects or values Sanders here,” Migranyan told me. “It’s like a knife in the throat,” he went on. “The things Sanders says even Russian communists would be too scared to say. He is a real communist. I always said to Americans, ‘Your brilliant future is our horrible past.’ We collapsed into nothing because of Communism, and now this is the dream that Sanders is offering—and a big part of your country is following him into the abyss.” If Sanders secures the nomination, warns Polymeropoulos, the retired CIA officer, who worked to counter Russian interference after 2016, this is exactly the kind of attack you can expect to see from Russian bots. “Bernie’s socialist credentials is exactly the hot-button, divisive issue that Russia will seek to use to cause chaos,” says Polymeropoulos. cont." ^^^ that's professional grade shit right there.

2 min excerpt from the 20 min one above: It's going to take something monumentally big. Still early, but we might very well be starting to see a scale of people movement over which the traditional all-encompassing forces can't handle. I wouldn't oppose it.

----> Texas has added a million new voters in a year and a half, almost 2 mil since 2016. A third are under 25 and a lot are Hispanic (38% of pop.). The GOP won Texas by 16% in 2012, then Trump beat Clinton by 9% in 2016. keep it going

"he talks like me"

Sanders taking swipes at Dem establishment with less than 1% of delegates decided and multiple candidate withdrawals yet to happen could have an effect on where the primary current flows.

I’m reminded now of what HRC said about Sanders last month that “nobody likes him” (within Congress). Sanders has some legit personality flaws. Followers don’t necessarily see it until Sanders publicly says something like in that tweet. The reality is this is probably a more common dynamic out of the public eye than we know. It’s a vulnerability and I wouldn’t be surprised to hear a lot more about this if/once he’s the nominee. HRC out front, you know.

It’d be something to look at Trump’s phone records, wouldn’t it? Not just to corroborate Gates being present in the limo when Trump talked to Stone about pending Wikileaks email drops for his campaign, but just how many times he spoke with Stone over the course of weeks and months. That’s when “I can’t recall” is demonstrated to be an obstructive lie and you prosecute - same thing for which Stone is sentenced to 3.5 years of prison. When it’s clear the lying “does not arise out of a vacuum” and manifests intricately as a function of what is being investigated, it becomes an easy call.

Access to a number of those chutes and couloirs at Big Sky involves strapping skis/board on your pack and traversing steeps along paths while holding on to anchored horizontal guide ropes. pretty wild. I'm starting to understand the big sky vibe. Had no idea bout the scale and terrain.

We don't care about night life. Just need a house w at least 7 bedrooms and a big kitchen. Looking at vrbo, there's definitely some qualifying MT vacation homes. It also appears Bozeman has a costco, so we'd be in business.
