Quote

Presenters included Robert Redfield, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases; and Robert Kadlec, assistant secretary within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, the chair of the subcommittee that oversees the CDC, requested the briefing.

“This is a dangerous virus but, as health officials told us today, it still remains largely contained to mainland China,” DeGette said afterward. “That said, if this does turn into some kind of pandemic situation here in the U.S. — which we hope it will not — I am concerned about the time it will take to develop a vaccine and get it distributed to the American public.”

Gutless must be so proud of his little video. But the above quote I took was from early February when Congress (not the Senate which was briefed in January) met to hear what officials had to say. Trump didn't ban travel from Europe until March 16. So Nancy's comments, and the NY Gov's comments from February and the first week of  March are going to reassure the Fox viewers that Trump is still their guy, but per usual, Trump and Friends are Full Of It.

First Baptist Church of Mabank had one of these when I was in about 7th grade.  One of my classmates started going on in the classroom about how Led Zeppelin had a song called "NATAS"  ("Satan" spelt backerds, get it?) and all the bad shit it said when you played it backwards.  I was like, "Man, I own ALL the Led Zep records and NONE of them have that shit.  You must have some cool ass bootleg shit.  Can you get me a copy?"  He didn't.

Energy survived having Rick Perry as its Secretary. How could Biden possibly do worse than the milkman yell leader?

They setup an iPad  for the aggy in his office, loaded up Drilling Simulator, told him it was a state-of-the-art device to remotely operate various equipment and told him never to hit the home button, as that would shut down the wells he had setup, and for years he thought he was helping American companies to drill wells.  When he was giving an interview, he mentioned to a reporter how many oil wells he had helped drill that week.  

He showed the reporter his "state-of-the-art device", the reporter hit the home button, showed him the game in the App Store, and all of the sudden Perry realized it was just a game on the iPad.  But he kept up the charade for a few more months, while trying to figure how to not look like an aggy in front of the DOE employees who had fooled him.  Finally, he gave up and asked them if they knew of any other cool games.

Not only that, there were maybe 5,000 people involved in the invasion.  1,500 ground troops (Brigade 2506, a handful of WWII surplus B-26 medium bombers (7 man crews) and 5 supply ships.   The "invasion" was 59 years ago.   I'm guessing the Bay of Pigs Veteran group has maybe a couple of hundred living members.   Oh, and their website doesn't exist anymore.

Now, I realize  that these freedom fighters were trying to take back their country from Castro.   Because life under Batista and his cronies was so swell.  But this means Trump is proud of his major award from a group that tried to instigate a coup.

The only thing intelligent Perry has done is not draw attention to himself while he was grifting hard.

Exclusive: As Energy Secretary, Rick Perry Mixed Money and Politics in Ukraine. The Deals Could Be Worth Billions

Photo-Illustration by Peter Horvath for TIME; Getty images (6); Bleyzer: Vadym Guliuk

BY SIMON SHUSTER AND ILYA MARRITZ/WNYC-PROPUBLICA

 

SEPTEMBER 10, 2020 7:00 AM EDT

Rick Perry came to Washington looking for a deal, and less than two months into his tenure as Energy Secretary, he found a hot prospect. It was April 19, 2017, and Perry, the former Texas governor, failed presidential candidate and contestant on Dancing With the Stars, was sitting in his office on Independence Avenue with two influential Ukrainians. “He said, ‘Look, I’m a new guy, I’m a dealmaker, I’m a Texan,’” recalls one of them, Yuriy Vitrenko, then Ukraine’s chief energy negotiator. “We’re ready to do deals,” he remembers Perry saying.

The deals they discussed that day became central to Ukraine’s complex relationship with the Trump Administration, a relationship that culminated in December with the House vote to impeach President Donald Trump. Perry was a leading figure in the impeachment inquiry last fall. He was among the officials, known as the “three amigos,” who ran a shadow foreign policy in Ukraine on Trump’s behalf. Their aim, according to the findings of the impeachment inquiry in the House, was to embarrass Trump’s main political rival, Joe Biden.

Alongside this political mission, Perry and his staff at the Energy Department worked to advance energy deals that were potentially worth billions of dollars to Perry’s friends and political donors, a six-month investigation by reporters from TIME, WNYC and ProPublica shows. Two of these deals seemed set to benefit Energy Transfer, the Texas company on whose board Perry served immediately before and after his stint in Washington. The biggest was worth an estimated $20 billion, according to U.S. and Ukrainian energy executives involved in negotiating them.

If this long discussed deal succeeds, Perry himself could stand to benefit: in March, three months after leaving government, he owned Energy Transfer shares currently worth around $800,000, according to his most recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Perry appears to have stayed on the right side of the law in pursuing the Ukraine ventures. Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York (SDNY) questioned at least four people about the deals over the past year, according to five people who are familiar with the conversations and discussed them with our reporting team on condition of anonymity. “As far back as last year, they were already interested in events that had taken place in Ukraine around Rick Perry,” including ­allegations that Perry “was trying to get deals for his buddies,” says one of the people who spoke to the Manhattan prosecutors. Perry is not a target of their investigation, according to two sources familiar with the probes.

But two ethics experts say Perry’s efforts were violations of federal regulations. Administration officials are not allowed to participate in matters directly relating to companies on whose board they have recently served. Other experts say Perry and his aides may have broken a federal rule that prohibits officials from advocating for companies that have not been vetted by the Commerce Department. “Even if it skirts the criminal statute, it’s still unethical,” says Richard Painter, the top ethics lawyer in the White House of President George W. Bush, with whom we shared our findings.

Through a spokesman, Perry said he “never connected or ­facilitated discussions” between Energy Transfer and Ukraine’s state energy firm in one of the deals we uncovered. The spokesman declined to comment on the other ventures Perry advanced while in government, including the $20 ­billion deal, or on the federal probe. In response to written questions for this article, Energy Transfer said, “We are not aware of any contact between Secretary Perry and Ukrainian officials on Energy Transfer’s behalf.”

The Ukrainians were never naive in their overtures to the Trump team. They realized that Trump was a businessman. “We studied his psychological profile,” says Konstantin ­Eliseev, who advised Ukraine’s President on foreign policy when Trump took office in 2017. Their strategy, says Vitrenko, was “to lure or to seduce” the Trump Administration by offering deals to its officials. “It was typical for Ukrainian politicians,” says the energy negotiator. “They thought that if they could, to some extent, corrupt the U.S. government, or get them interested commercially or personally, it would help.”

The Ukrainians desperately needed that help. Since 2014, they have been at war with Russia, and their country relies on U.S. support for its very survival. The first offer they dangled in that April 2017 meeting with Perry was indeed seductive: they were looking for a Western partner to take a 49% stake in the country’s gas-­pipeline network. “It’s a classic cash cow,” says Oleksandr Kharchenko, one of the Ukrainian energy experts involved in trying to sell a stake in the company. Its annual profits, he says, are close to $2 billion.

The Ukrainians apparently got Perry’s attention. From the outset, Perry’s focus on Ukraine had puzzled his colleagues in government, who say that he took a personal interest in the country’s affairs. Those affairs would normally fall under the purview of the State Department, not the Energy Department. But at the U.S. embassy in Kyiv, officials felt that Perry’s office had taken the lead on Ukraine policy. “Secretary Perry’s staff was very aggressive in terms of promoting an agenda and excluding embassy personnel from meetings without giving explanations,” David Holmes, a senior embassy official, said in a deposition to Congress during the impeachment inquiry last year.

Some of the voices driving that agenda were not members of the Energy Department but private businessmen, usually from Texas. The most visible was Michael Bleyzer, an old friend and political donor of Perry’s. Known for his long mane of silver hair and a passion for scuba diving, Bleyzer was born in the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv and had immigrated to the U.S. in 1978. As Bleyzer explained in a series of emails and phone interviews, he shares an interest in photography with Perry, and they have taken trips together to shoot pictures in Colorado and Israel. “He considers me to be Mr. Ukraine,” says Bleyzer. “Whenever he had questions about Ukraine, he would turn to me.”

There is much more in the link.

Recently Trump claimed that there has been an unprecedented wave of  new auto plants being built in Michigan, Ohio, South Carolina and North Carolina on his watch.  The actual count:

Michigan:  one new, two retrofit, a total of ~ 4,300 jobs

Ohio:  none

South Carolina:  none

North Carolina:  none

So, y'all have seen the Trump ad about "violent Biden supporters?"  It literally ends with a scene of Biden kneeling with a bunch of black thugs, followed by a statement "STOP JOE BIDEN AND HIS RIOTERS."  Wait, did I say he was kneeling with some black thugs?  I meant -- he was fucking kneeling with black religious leaders in an actual church.  There's literally an altar and cross behind him in the photo.

 This is how racist and shitty this regime truly is.  It takes an image of black religious leaders, IN CHURCH, and deems them a bunch of rioters.

As you might expect, the folks at the Bethel AME church in Wilmington (location of the photo) didn't take too kindly to the naked fucking evil racism of this shitty regime: https://religionnews.com/2020/09/14/response-to-trump-campaign-ad-featuring-bethel-ame-church-in-wilmington-delaware/?fbclid=IwAR21wjPzIfV95Et1ZVQ3kr8ezHi_oq8zqvwM8BFbIy24G9dzXMmk_LG0jpM

Quote

Black people in America have been under attack by the spiritual, political, financial, and cultural servants of American white supremacy since our first enslaved ancestors arrived on these shores over four hundred years ago.

Nations and people of color have been under attack by the global manifestation of white supremacy. First, the sin of colonialism and now in the 21st century, these white supremacist attacks continue through corporate neo-colonialism.

Sadly, the African Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the first Black institutions in this nation, is under attack again.

The servant leaders of the African Methodist Episcopal Church decry and denounce an advertisement from the campaign committee of Donald J. Trump linking an African Methodist Episcopal Church to violence and implying that those who gathered there are "thugs".

The ad "Meet Joe Biden's Supporters" ends with footage of former Vice President Joe Biden kneeling before the altar in Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Delaware, in front of several Black clergy and community leaders. A moment later, "Stop Joe Biden and his rioters" appears across the screen as Mike Pence declares, "You won't be safe in Joe Biden's America." This ad subtly incites white terrorism against people of color and attacks the Black Church and Black people for refusing to bow down to the idol called white supremacy.

The people who comprise the global African Methodist Episcopal Church ask for the following:

1. An immediate apology to Bethel AME Church, Wilmington Delaware, and its Pastor, Dr. Silvester Beaman.
2. The removal of that ad from all networks.
3. Federal protection for Bethel AME Church, the people, staff, and community that uses the building daily.
4. An investigation by the Dept. of Justice and/or Homeland Security regarding the legality of the Trump campaign's misrepresentation and photoshopping images, as well as analysis of the tone of the rhetoric as the language that might incite violence, and encourage racial tensions that lead to placing people of color in harm's way.

The AME Church, Black Churches, and the church of Jesus and Justice have been under attack because we stand and fight for the freedom, justice, and equality for all of God's children. We are deeply concerned about this 21st Century atmosphere of white rage and terror. Even now, the FBI is investigating vandalism against multiple AME Churches, and we continue to cope with the tragedy at Mother Emanuel in Charleston, SC. We are apprehensive that the history of burning and bombing Black churches is being stirred up by a political party that has lost its moral bearings. We are deeply concerned that the white supremacist lynchings, murders, and assassinations of Black men and women, boys and girls in the past, is the plan for the present and future.

Bishop Michael L. Mitchell, President of the Council of Bishops
Bishop Adam J. Richardson, Senior Bishop
Bishop Wilfred Jacobus Messiah, President of the General Board
Bishop Frank Madison Reid, III Chair, Commission on Social Action
