The Only True Way to End Racism

I have been debating whether-or-not to write this article for days, but this afternoon a movie came on that I have not seen in many years, and it made me think I should go ahead with this post. The movie was "Driving Miss Daisy" (hopefully Antifa and Black Lives Matter will not decide to burn my building to the ground). It reminded me of a pivotal incident that occurred when I was in middle school, both for myself and for the other girl who was involved.

In 1974, my father was stationed in Huntington Beach, California, and for whatever reason we were given Navy housing in San Pedro. I attended Dodson Junior High School where, at the time, kids were being bused in from Wilmington. As a result, we had a serious gang problem, and I spent most of my afternoons trying to dodge gang members outside the school who were just looking for someone, anyone, to beat up.

In order to get home, I had to go down a very steep hill about three blocks to Western Avenue. I crossed at the light, went another block, and when I turned right I was "safely" in Navy housing. I was "safe". Most of the time.

A very brief history is in order before I continue. I always hated fighting. It never made one damned bit of sense to me, although when I got close to adulthood I realized sometimes it is a necessary evil. But I never saw the point of duking it out with someone. You give me a black eye, I give you a bloody nose...what did we prove? Did we solve anything? No. I was sixteen before I ever hit another person. So, that is the framework within which I approached the following encounter.

As I turned down the final couple of blocks to my duplex, a girl came toward me who I had never seen before. She was black, and I am white. She walked up to me and pushed me. You know, that shove people give you because they want you to hit them so you can fight? I tried to walk around her one direction and she blocked me. So I tried to walk the other way around her and she blocked me again. She pushed me again, saying, "Hit me!" I tried in vain to find a way around her. Clearly exasperated, she pushed me two more times saying, "Hit me! Hit me! Why won't you hit me?!"

I replied, "I don't even know you. Why do I want to hit you?"

She stood there flabbergasted.

She stared at me for several seconds, then she said, "Well, do you want to walk home with me?" I shrugged my shoulders and said, "OK".

And just like that we were glued at the hip until her family was transferred to another location.

Now, we were both barely pubescent, so we never discussed what happened that day, but looking back on it I think I understand what happened. Wendy was used to fighting. She was used to white people wanting to fight. So, she decided to get the whole thing over with from the start, and when I did not participate I think (and hope) it was a turning point in her life. I know it was in mine. I don't think she really wanted to fight at all. She was just used to it. 

Those of you who have seen "Driving Miss Daisy" may understand the point I am trying to make. It was that one-on-one encounter that taught us both something. Not some "reeducation program" created by Marxists that will do nothing but divide us further. What we really need to do is get to know each other. One-on-one. In person. One at a time. Without interference from anyone else.

Contrary to what we are seeing right now, most people do not believe the stereotypes and do not buy into the Marxist division being played out on the news every day. Most of us judge the people in our lives based upon the behavior of the people in our lives.

That is how it should be.

And it is the only way we will ever heal.

I QUIT

I cannot handle any more. I am done. You know, it is one thing to fight for a worthy cause when there are clear-cut lines. It is quite another when anarchy reigns, when people do not understand what they are saying and doing, when everyone is drawing lines without even knowing where those lines should be drawn.

I GIVE UP.

After years of people calling for civil war with some romanticized view of what war is because they saw it in a movie, we are now on a collision course with civil war and not one of the nitwits who are orgasmic at the prospect have one clue what they are rooting for. Not one of these yahoos have seen someone's head explode, not one of them has been splattered with brains, not one of them has seen anything other than some fucking Play Station game, but they are all for it.

SO BE IT.

But do not ask me to be part of it.

This will go down in history as a manufactured war, where people who claim to be intellectuals got sucked in and thought it was going to be fun, and people were slaughtered for no reason at all. Is our system perfect? No. Is any system perfect? No. So, let's riot, right? That will solve everything.

NOT.

People have lost their fucking minds. I never thought the United States of America would just up and surrender, but we have. "Black Lives Matter Plaza" sealed the deal. Let's all just recite the Shahada and stop pretending we give a fuck. Because ALL OF YOU have surrendered. ALL OF YOU. EVERY person who ever called a black person a "nigger". EVERY person who ever called a white person a "cracker". EVERY person who ever called an Asian "chink". EVERY person who ever called anyone ANYTHING other than his/her name. YOU ARE ALL GUILTY. And you FED this FICTIONAL RACE WAR that Andropov predicted. KUDOS. 

YOU. FUCKING. IDIOTS.

I have stories I can tell of the things I have done throughout my life to help others who have different skin color, but those stories will fall on deaf ears because EVERYONE WANTS A FUCKING WAR. Well, enjoy it without me.

I. QUIT.

George Floyd: Thoughts from a Human Being

After several days of listening to talking heads, and watching events unfold, I have a few things I would like to say.

First, if African-Americans do not wish to be judged by the color of their skin, DO NOT JUDGE ME BY THE COLOR OF MINE!!!!!

I had NOTHING to do with Mr. Floyd's death, yet self-righteous social justice warriors hell-bent on proving they are "enlightened" have engaged in non-stop PANDERING to black activists. "Oh, I am so sorry. We are all fucked up. We need to figure out why we are all fucked up, and figure out how to stop being all fucked up."

AGAIN: I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!!

I, like TENS OF MILLIONS OF AMERICANS OF ALL RACES, COLORS, AND CREEDS, WERE APPALLED AT WHAT HAPPENED IN MINNEAPOLIS!!! To attribute the actions of this asshole to an entire RACE smacks of...well...umm...RACISM!!!

I do NOT need people apologizing for me! If I need to apologize for something, I will do so, WITHOUT the likes of MSNBC "speaking" for me!!!

Now, then. I have always fought against racism, which FAR TOO OFTEN involves fighting fellow "conservatives" who think it is apropos to call African-Americans "nigger", "monkey", "ape", "animal", and the like. I have absolutely no idea when that became fashionable, but it is WRONG, and I have a FIFTY-EIGHT-YEAR-LONG-RECORD of fighting this stupidity, so ENOUGH with lumping me in with everyone in the world who shares my skin pigmentation!!!

I am happy to hear that Derek Chauvin is in custody. His compatriots will be joining him soon. I LOVE this prosecutor who came out with a very short and sweet announcement. This guy means business! Everyone really needs to calm down and go to the beach for the weekend or something because that mic drop moment was priceless. When was the last time you have ever heard a public official deliver a one-liner and then open it up to questions? NEVER!

Finally, something else is going on here, which I hope the DOJ is focusing on. These two men worked at the same club for five years. They have a background. We have video showing Mr. Floyd being escorted WITHOUT INCIDENT to a patrol car. We then have video showing him flat on his face. HOW DID HE GET THERE? I am hoping and praying someone has video that fills in those few seconds because whatever happened has something to do with Mr. Chauvin. I can smell it. We need to know what happened with them while they were working at the club, and we need to know what happened when Chauvin hit the scene on Monday. 

Can we all just take a deep breath and wait for this to play out? We will get all of this filled in, and we do not need to keep sniping at each other for this to happen.

#Coronavirus: The Stupidity of "#Quarantine"

Life is a risk. When I decide to take a shower, there is a risk that I will slip, fall, crack my head open on the tub, and die. No one will even know until the rent becomes past due.

Oh, but the children. Well, they can be standing at the bus stop waiting for the school bus when a drunken driver goes flying down the street, loses control of his vehicle, and slams into the little tykes, throwing them one hundred yards to their deaths.

Oh, but Gramma. OK, I will actually give you that one, but here is this: If you are at risk, STAY HOME. SINCE WHEN does Gramma get to demand that I stay home so SHE can go out?! 

Is anyone really looking forward to restaurants opening, so that we can PAY FOR someone in hospital garb to serve us pricey food for the privilege of using DISPOSABLE PLATES AND UTENSILS???

This PSYOP has gotten completely out-of-hand. Did my readers hear the report that the CDC actually recommended we "socially-distance" from our PETS?! THESE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO KILL US! Not the virus. THE POWERS-THAT-BE!

ENOUGH with this nonsense. I live in Las Vegas. After many, MANY contradictory reports about whether-or-not SSI, VA, and Railroad benefit recipients will receive a stimulus check, I FINALLY got word that I will receive one and I have been told the date. 

Groovy. So, what do I do with it? Well, obviously, in my financial position most of it is getting tucked away so I can take care of myself during this STUPIDITY and beyond, but it sure would be nice to go out and have a nice meal. Or go to a movie. Or put $20 in a slot machine and play twenty-five cents at a time so I can entertain myself for an hour or two.

Can I do that? NO! Because NOTHING IS OPEN, and even when our tyrannical governor finally opens the casinos again on May 22, it is going to be like the Twilight Zone. Employees specifically assigned to make sure everyone is six feet away from everyone else. How fun. Sure. I would LOVE to WASTE MY MONEY being treated like a DAMNED LEPER!!!!!

This shit needs to STOP! PERIOD! If you are sick, stay home. If you are scared, stay home. If you are a germophobe, stay home. STOP RUINING MY LIFE TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER!!!!! It only makes me wish you WOULD contract the damned virus so you would be one less person running around telling me to stay in my PRISON CELL indefinitely and be HAPPY ABOUT IT!!!

SCREW YOU PEOPLE!!! SERIOUSLY!!! WHO-IN-HELL ARE YOU TO DICTATE MY LIFE???????????????????????????

"Out of Shadows" #CIA Documentary with Perspective

I am going to post a link to this movie at the end of my post, but first I would like to make a few observations. Without question, CIA should be destroyed. They went off the range pretty much from the beginning.

However, I am old enough to remember when television was fun, and actually educational. I learned the Preamble to the Constitution thanks to "Schoolhouse Rock" on ABC. I see nothing wrong with Elmer Fudd chasing Bugs Bunny, nor with Wiley Coyote chasing the Road Runner. And I see nothing wrong with airing patriotic films in a time of war. Do we really need to feed the "Baby Killer" mantra? That crowd seems to come up with that bullshit all on their own. I think encouraging the public in a time of hardship is helpful.

I also remember a time when no one on television was divorced, sex was not even alluded to, respectful children were the rule rather than the exception, homosexuality was never even considered, abortion was not mentioned, and (as is the case with "South Park") the epithet beginning with the letter "f" was not bleeped in favor of PERMITTING the epithet "G-- d--- i--" at least twenty times per episode (and being used by fictional FOURTH GRADERS, for crying out loud!)

But again, it has gone too far. The Coronavirus is a classic example. We cannot go more than ten minutes without at least two commercials telling us how wonderful it is to be in prison and how great it is that companies want to help "keep you safe". BULLSHIT! PURE PROPAGANDA!

We all know violent music that debases women and glorifies racism, hatred, murder, and drugs has destroyed the younger generation. Add to that movies where blood is splattered all over the screen for two-to-three-hours, and addictive video games that teach people to kill others in order to "score", and it is little wonder the country has turned into what it is now.

One of the most shocking parts of this film is something Mika Brzezinski says on the MSNBC clip about halfway into the video. It is shocking because I do not watch that network so this is the first time I have heard it. It is NOT shocking if you recall who her father was.

So, here is "Out of Shadows". Let us try not to throw out the baby with the bathwater. While probably 75% of television these days is negative propaganda, not all propaganda is necessarily negative. It can be positive, as in the case of short films people saw during World War II. I hope everyone will watch this movie carefully, and with a critical eye both to CIA and the rare-but-still-in-existence GOOD that SOME entertainment provides.

7-Eleven Lies to its Customers and Adds to #Coronavirus Panic

Apparently, we do not get enough mind-fucking from the endless "briefings", interviews with "experts" now claiming we must be locked down for a year-and-a-half, public service announcements by Oprah and other rich bitches smiling and telling us how wonderful it is to be home alone (cute coming from people who can spend their days in a different room every day for MONTHS!)...we have to have owners of 7-Eleven franchises treating us like lepers, increasing the "rules" every single damned day...AND BLAMING IT ALL ON THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT!

They started out by closing their slot machines. Then they demanded that we place our money on the counter instead of handing it directly to the cashier (does the counter have some magical ability to remove viruses from money?). Then they started demanding we stand on blue tape spread throughout the store to maintain "social distancing", and limited the number of people in the store to ten. When people began complaining, they replied that they were just following the orders of the health department. 

Today I went over there to try and find something I was unable to get at Albertson's, and there were two signs posted that said, "NO ONE ENTERS WITHOUT THEIR FACES COVERED! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!" I blew a gasket, and as it turned out I ran into a Metro cop and we began talking about my various complaints about this entire fiasco, including the mess at 7-Eleven. He said, "Well, just to let you know, these directives are not coming from the health department, the city, the county, the state, the Governor, the President, the CDC, nor anyone else. Suggestions have been made, but none of it is being enforced as a matter of law. What is happening at 7-Eleven is being done by the FRANCHISE OWNER."

So, not only have they treated us like lepers; they FLAT-OUT LIED TO THEIR CUSTOMERS!!! So, for ANYONE who goes to the 7-Eleven located at 1740 E. Fremont Street in Las Vegas, Nevada: THEY ARE LIARS! EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE IN THAT STORE HAS BEEN LYING TO EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER WHO HAS WALKED IN THERE!!!

I strongly urge everyone to BOYCOTT this store, and DRIVE THE LIARS OUT OF BUSINESS! In a time of turmoil and insanity, it is IRRESPONSIBLE AT BEST to keep piling it on day, after day, after day, FOR NO DAMNED REASON OTHER THAN THEIR OWN PERSONAL PARANOIA! If they are that damned scared, CLOSE THE DAMNED STORE AND STAY HOME!

Let us help them do that, shall we? There are PLENTY of other convenience stores within mere blocks of this LYING FRANCHISE. We should give THEM our business, and shut this store DOWN!

My Best Friend in Life, Darcus Ann Greco: A Tragic Ending for a Beautiful Woman

Last Friday evening, I discovered the worst news a friend could possibly learn. My best friend died in a house fire last October 12th in Bakersfield, California. Before I give the details, I would like to explain who she was.

I met Darcus through a mutual friend back when I was twenty-two years old. Our mutual friend put us in touch, because I was struggling to support myself with a minimum wage job (back when minimum wage was FAR lower than it is today). Darcus graciously took me in, sight unseen. We hit it off immediately, and soon we were palling around like we had been best friends in high school. Soon after I moved in, I found a good job and was able to move into my own apartment in a few months. 

We were friends through my marriage, my subsequent divorce; we were friends through all of the young adult traumas I encountered (she was seven years older than I was), she was by my side through two surgeries, I was by her side through several of her hospitalizations. We acted silly together; we went grocery shopping in the middle of the night together so we could take our time and goof off. We played, laughed, and cried together. She was there through my ex-husband's heart attack; she was by my side through my grandmother's death. She delivered several of our friend's children. She was active in her church, and extremely dedicated to her faith.

But mostly she was a devoted wife and mother who home-schooled her children and raised them to be responsible, caring adults. 

Until her husband betrayed her in the most horrific, unimaginable way. I am not at liberty to describe the details, but that night was the beginning of the end of my best friend. For the next twenty years she did everything possible to deal with her pain, engaging in behaviors you would think no one her age would get involved in; such was the depth of her pain.

It all ended last October 12th in a house fire where she died all alone. According to the coroner's report, she died of smoke inhalation combined with methamphetamine intoxication and cardiopulmonary disease. She was sixty-five years old. Those people in Bakersfield who did not know her in Salinas, California would never have guessed the person she was back then, but many of us know. We had all hoped she would eventually pull out of the lurch she was in, but none of us are in a position to know what we would have done nor how we would have reacted to the shock she experienced that fateful night.

The only thing I know for sure is, every single thing that happened to her after that night falls squarely on the shoulders of her former (scumbag) husband, Charles Greco, son of Art Greco of Greco Construction on River Road in Salinas. My only hope now is that he will suffer for all eternity for what he turned her into through his evil behaviors. No amount of pain he could ever endure could ever compare to the destruction he caused. May he receive the justice he so richly deserves, and may he never receive mercy for what he has done.

And may Darcus Ann Greco rest in the peace she has sought for the past twenty years. 

"G-d, full of mercy, Who dwells above, give rest on the wings of the Divine Presence, amongst the holy, pure and glorious who shine like the sky, to the soul of Darcus Ann Greco, daughter of James A. Holloman, for whom prayer was offered in the memory of her soul. Therefore, the Merciful One will protect her soul forever, and will merge her soul with eternal life. The Everlasting is her heritage, and she shall rest peacefully at her lying place, and let us say: Amein."

The Ramifications of the #Coronavirus Hysteria

While everyone is hunkering down to do their "civic duty" by staying home, allowing their businesses to be shut down by the G.O.V..E.R.N.M.E.N.T, I realize no one is thinking.

Consider this:

How many stories have we heard about some crazed nut deciding to kill his wife and children and then eat a bullet himself because he got fired from a job?

EXPECT THAT IN SPADES.

How long before all of these "patriots" get sick of doing without and start LOOTING?

How long before people get fed up all together and begin RIOTING?

Those of you who have been "predicting" martial law for a DECADE NOW will finally get your wish.

But, it's all in the spirit of being a good American, right?

WHAT-THE-FUCK HAPPENED TO ALL OF THE REAL PATRIOTS WE USED TO HAVE JUST A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO???

Someone please pass out the cyanide. I really do not want to watch this shit show anymore.

#CORONAVIRUS

Dear IDIOTS!

As of this moment, there are currently 129,589 cases of Covid-19 worldwide. There have been 4,749 deaths to date. Simple, elementary school math tells us this is a mortality rate of .037 (3.7%). 

MEANWHILE, the current number of people who have caught influenza this year stands at 22 to 31 MILLION! The CDC reports that, while Coronavirus is getting all of the attention, the FLU IS "FAR DEADLIER":

https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2020/02/11/flu-season

The only thing all of this hyperbole and hysteria are accomplishing is PLUNGING US INTO A RECESSION, and if it does not stop we will be in an actual DEPRESSION by November 3rd.

If your goal is to propel an addle-brained man with dementia into the White House, KEEP IT UP!

Those of you who CLAIM to support Trump HAD BETTER START SUPPORTING HIM, STARTING WITH GOING BACK TO YOUR NORMAL DAILY LIVES!

Stop the idiocy!

Trying to Improve my Situation

As you will see in the description below, I am really needing to move out of the apartment I moved into a year-and-a-half ago. At the time, it was a blessing for which I was very thankful. I am still grateful that I have had a roof over my head. But, I had no way of knowing what the management company was like nor did I realize they were going to go through managers like crazy. Our SIXTH manager just quit, and we are moving on to number seven. 

My regular readers will recall the problems I had in late 2018 because they went two months without a manager. This apartment complex is very small. There is no real parking lot, just an area in front of the office with about ten parking spaces. In order to enter, you must go through a LOCKED security gate. At that time, our mail was given to the office which then sorted the mail and put it in wooden cubicles with our apartment numbers on them. If no one was in the office, no one got any mail.

Since then, they put in actual mailboxes...INSIDE THE LOCKED GATE. So, when no one is in the office, we STILL cannot get our mail because the Postal Service does not have a key to get in. Neither does UPS, nor FedEx, etc. (Please check my previous posts for more information about the problems tenants have had.) 

The situation is untenable. The good news is, I found a place right across the street that would be a perfect place to move. The bad news is, with my fixed income I will not be able to move any time soon and will be forced to renew my lease unless something happens to change my financial situation.

Which is where the following link comes in. Please share it with anyone you think might like to help. Thank you very much.

#LasVegas Homeless Hit the Jackpot

Hello, everyone!

This will be a brief post; I am buried in study materials to make my religious conversion complete, which is why I have rarely posted in this past year.

I just have to CONGRATULATE all of the HOMELESS in Las Vegas, Nevada! YOU HAVE WON!

Seriously. My readers will recall I was homeless until about a year-and-a-half ago. The legislature has just passed a law, effective January 1, that makes it a misdemeanor to sleep on the streets. KA-CHING! The "penalty" is six months in jail and a $1,000 fine (good luck collecting that shit!) So, on New Years' Day, grab your blanket/tent/whatever and park in front of the #LasVegas Police Department! They will bring you inside, assign you a bed and give you the first of many meals courtesy of the citizens of Las Vegas. 

Of course, I think they are going to need to build a couple of new jails....

And it gets better for those who are mentally ill and/or addicts, because the public defender's office is going to make sure you are placed in a mental health facility where the food is undoubtedly better than the jail house stuff. Of course, Las Vegas is going to have to build some more mental health facilities, too.

SERIOUSLY. I think this is great! However, there is one little drawback that people are going to start complaining about: HOUSING THOUSANDS OF NON-CRIMINALS AND BUILDING JAILS AND MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES WILL NOT BE CHEAP, so get out your wallets, Tax Payers! (I bet you wish you had just given the guy on the corner $1, huh?)

Slum Lord Advanced Management Group, Las Vegas

These people do not give a flying fuck about their tenants. My sewage backed up again a couple of weeks ago. After stringing me along all of this time, they finally notified me that there is nothing wrong with my plumbing. Apparently it is normal to have feces back up into your bathtub!

Do not EVER rent from these people. The only thing they give a fuck about is protecting their Facebook page from negative comments and policing your language (the "f" word is anathema to them).

I am actually LOOKING FORWARD TO the next time the septic backs up. I AM GOING TO LEAVE IT THAT WAY. I will go to a motel and the sewage can flood this apartment, overflow into the apartment next door, and maybe after they suffer permanent structural damage they will GET OFF THEIR ASSES AND TAKE CARE OF THE FUCKING PROBLEM!!!

For the history of this insane problem:

Slum Lords in Las Vegas, Nevada

I apologize for the long absence, but I have not felt compelled to write anything until now. My readers will recall that I finally secured housing last June, and for a while things were wonderful. I guess you can call it the "honeymoon period". However, right before the holidays, things went south. When I first moved in, there was a female manager here who seemed to be nice enough. Then she disappeared, and a man took her place who also seemed to be nice enough, at first. Until he blamed me for something I did not do, and actually had the nerve to put a warning letter in my file. Until my septic backed up and, while the maintenance man admitted the plumbing problem was somewhere down the line away from my apartment, he simply snaked it until the toilet flushed and went on his way. That was about four months ago or so.

Last Friday, all hell broke loose. As I posted to the management company's Facebook page,

"HOW ABOUT THIS? My plumbing backed up Friday afternoon. Maintenance could not snake it, so a plumber came out. He tried to snake it but said the blockage was somewhere down the pipe away from the apartment and said he would come back Saturday with some other equipment to try and clear it out. I went to sleep. My neighbor woke me up at FOUR THIRTY IN THE MORNING pounding on my door. I could not hear what she was saying, so I jumped out of bed ready to cuss her out...AND LANDED IN WATER!!! THE. ENTIRE. APARTMENT. WAS. UNDER. WATER! The reason my neighbor was there is because it had overflowed into ANOTHER apartment!!! We managed to get the water up, and Ivy (manager) arranged for the plumber to arrive around 11:30, which he did. After putting a camera into the pipe, he showed me where tree roots have grown into the pipe and that obviously this was going to be a major job for which approval was needed. He told me to keep the water in the bathroom off except for occasionally flushing the toilet. He said I MIGHT be able to take a quick, two-minute shower, but that there is no guarantee it would not close back up and flood the apartment again. Fast forward to today...NO ONE CAME. Apparently management is worried about bids. FUCK the health code violations! I guess you people are independently wealthy and a few fines are no big deal for you. I have been MORE than patient. MORE than patient. MORE. THAN. PATIENT. TOMORROW, I call the health department and HUD so they can freeze payment to you until such time as you decide to LIVE UP TO YOUR END OF THE FUCKING LEASE!!!!!"

The explanation (if we can call it that) is the plumber did not send the video and work order on Saturday, but rather just before noon Monday. Then I find out that the plumber has to submit an estimate which has to be approved but only after whatever hoops get jumped through....

EXCUSE ME, BUT I CANNOT SHOWER. I CAN ONLY FLUSH MY TOILET A HANDFUL OF TIMES, AND I HAVE TO SLEEP WITH MY VALUABLES ON MY BED IN CASE I HAVE ANOTHER FLOOD! When I mentioned the damages I have incurred already, I was told to talk to my insurance company. APPARENTLY ADVANCED MANAGEMENT GROUP THINKS I HAVE $250 LYING AROUND TO PAY FOR DAMAGES THEY CAUSED!!!

Where in my lease does it say that, if the apartment becomes unsafe, I must wait while everyone goes through a bidding war and figures out what, if anything, they deign to do????????????????????????????????????????????????

Maybe I should sit around and make them wait until I figure out if I want to pay them rent next month?!

BOTTOM LINE: NEVER SHOULD ANYONE EVER lease an apartment whose management is "Advanced Management Group".

Meanwhile, maybe someone would be willing to take me to a truck stop and pay for me to take a shower, since these people clearly do not give a flying fuck?

Thanksgiving: A Lesson in Gratitude

I found myself becoming irritated yesterday as I watched people I know on social media talking about the various plans they had for today. My irritation grew this morning as I realized how little I have of the traditional holiday fare. 

One of the things that is unique to Judaism is that Jews pray after they eat. The reasoning is that it is easy to be grateful when one is hungry, but once sated it is even easier to forget from whence it came. After I finished breakfast this morning I did my usual post-meal prayer and, while searching for other things for which I should express gratitude, I realized how ungrateful I was being.

How soon we forget. Just six months ago I was homeless and I had been homeless for four years. There are no holidays on the street, except that is the one time of the year people are generous and give the homeless things they lack the rest of the year, one of those things being food. I remember being grateful and annoyed at the same time that people were showering me with clothing, food, and cash for a couple of weeks at the end of the year while forgetting the homeless even exist the rest of the year. I always tried to focus on the gifts I was receiving instead of dwelling on my annoyance, but I am human. 

But, right when I had resigned myself to being in this state for the rest of my life, at long last the Veteran's Administration managed to get me off the streets. I now have a studio apartment, a small wardrobe, food in the cabinets and refrigerator, and a door I can lock and enjoy quiet solitude, emphasis on "quiet". I rarely emerged from my home during the summer, loving the fact that I did not have to interact with another living being unless I wanted to do so.

What, then, was my complaint? Hearing other people's plans reminded me of the "good old days" when I had a real life with family and friends. On every special occasion, I cooked and/or baked whatever the particular holiday required. I enjoyed playing hostess and having the opportunity to show off my culinary skills. Frankly, I should be at a point in my life where I am grateful not to have all of that work to do!

But, as I prepare to cook my chicken dinner for Thanksgiving, those same memories point out the stark contrast between those days and this day. Ordinarily I would be serving turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, a green vegetable of some kind (maybe in a casserole), salad, homemade salad dressing, dinner rolls from scratch, homemade whole berry cranberry sauce, and cans of jellied cranberry sauce for people like myself who do not care for the actual berry. We would have the usual range of things to drink, with the additions of wine and egg nog.

Instead, I am baking chicken leg quarters (because all of the turkeys at the store were huge and cost a minimum of $22!), making Stove Top stuffing, and canned cranberry sauce. Quite a step down, right? Except when I recall where I was this time last year, and the year before, and the year before, and the year before. Then I realize I get to cook everything to my liking and serve it hot when I am ready to eat it. I may not have much, but I have what I need with periodic treats the L-rd sees fit to give me.

So, I apologize for my ingratitude and embrace my Creator for providing me with this new life and for enabling me to enjoy today with a renewed sense of thankfulness. May I never forget where I have been nor the people who are still out there. May He give them comfort and bless them the way He has me.

Happy Thanksgiving

I was holding out for the information I requested from the State Department before writing another article so as to keep the series uninterrupted, but this situation is too important for me not to post my thoughts.  I will post a link to my Twitter Moment on this subject at the bottom of this article so readers can see where I got the information I will be recounting.

On October 2nd, Jamal Khashoggi was seen entering the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, Turkey. A few hours later, we were told he was missing. Initial reports from Al Jazeera said Khashoggi had been seen leaving the consulate twenty minutes after he entered. This information has since been tossed aside. The next day, we received very disturbing information that the Saudis had flown fifteen "diplomats" to Turkey, that Khashoggi had been tortured, killed, and dismembered, and that these "diplomats" most likely removed the body parts in diplomatic pouches that are not subject to being searched. The only evidence we were given was a very brief video clip of Khashoggi entering the consulate.

Very few people questioned this narrative. In fact, it was readily adopted and calls to hold Crown Prince MBS to account for this alleged butchery soon became shrill. These calls reached fever pitch when Turkey claimed to have audio and video recordings proving their claim as to Khashoggi's fate.

I was suspicious of the story from the start. It made no sense to me whatsoever, and evidence began to filter in that supported my apprehension. Supposedly Khashoggi was engaged to a woman who just happened to be Turkish, and photographs began to emerge of the "couple". Fortunately, there are a lot of sleuths on Twitter, and they went to work. 

The first thing we learned was that Khaled Saffuri, the man who held the press conference making the outlandish claims as to Khashoggi's fate, has ties to Al Qaeda and Islamic Jihad (again, refer to the link below). Then someone analyzed one of the photographs of the couple and concluded it had been Photoshopped. At the same time, someone purporting to be a Syrian journalist began circulating the story that the Lebanese Prime Minister, Hariri, had been kidnapped last year by Riyadh (@BBassem7). We got into a heated argument because I remembered the incident in question. Hariri had resigned his post, on the air, and gone to Riyadh out of desperation because his government is heavily infiltrated by Hezbollah. I began to suspect this was an assault on Saudi Arabia by Turkey and Iran.

Then a reporter from the United Arab Emirates (@HSajwanization) posted astonishing information about Jamal Khashoggi's Twitter account (I had not even thought to look and see if Khashoggi had a Twitter account; my bad!) While the journalist was still missing, his Twitter account had been altered, with posts being deleted and following/unfollowing people! That is somewhat difficult to do if you are in fifteen pieces somewhere in the Sahara desert, and I cannot imagine why his captors would have demanded his Twitter password so they could screw around with his stats!

Now, I have no idea what has happened. My point is, neither does anyone else, and I am disturbed at how readily people are believing the narrative out of Ankara, practically demanding MBS' head on a platter with ZERO evidence to support Erdogan's claim. It is my hope that President Trump and Secretary Pompeo are treading very cautiously and are not jumping on the bandwagon like the media and the general public are doing. Obviously, we should watch this story very closely, but we must exercise our critical thinking skills and not jump to conclusions because the MSM wants us to do so. 

One other thing. It is possible the reason Erdogan released Pastor Brunson was to get in Trump's good graces. Given the impromptu question-and-answer session this morning, it seems the ploy worked. Fortunately, he can always change his mind and I hope that he does so. 

I will keep everyone posted, and will continue with General Flynn's situation as soon as I get my FOIA back from the State Department.

General Flynn vs. Peter Strzok: Mounting Evidence of a Vendetta

What a difference a day makes. The evidence is mounting rapidly that this was, indeed, a hit job on General Flynn. I will let everyone read these first two background articles for themselves so that I can get to the real bombshells:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/28/documents-suggest-possible-coordination-between-cia-fbi-obama-wh-and-dem-officials-early-in-trump-russia-probe-investigators.html

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2018/03/general-flynns-family-reacts-new-bombshell-report-revealing-peter-strzok-personal-relationship-judge-involved-flynn-case/

This next article reveals information that, were I in military intelligence, I just might want to find out what was going on:

http://www.investmentwatchblog.com/who-is-peter-strzok-very-important-and-revealing-family-connections-to-obama-check-it-out/

Skipping past Peter Strzok's family history, the final paragraph brings Uranium One into the picture. Readers will recall from yesterday's article that Strzok Sr., as well as Mark Strzok, both have backgrounds in nuclear activity. The George Webb video (which was also in one of yesterday's links) at the bottom tells a very frightening story of uranium being transferred from Russia to the United States beginning back in 1993. As I listened, I kept asking why on earth we were buying uranium from Russia when we appear to have just turned around and sold it back twenty years later! But when I thought about it for a while, something occurred to me. If this uranium was being brought here, not just to help the Navy but as cover for a nefarious enrichment program, the plan may have been to ship it to Iran. However, the plan did not come to fruition before the administration changed, and with the "War on Terror" starting, and the administration's strong desire to strike Iran, it was temporarily scuttled. Why would this scenario even cross my mind? Because when the opportunity presented itself, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED:

http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/358339-uranium-one-deal-led-to-some-exports-to-europe-memos-show

Rumors have swirled around that deal ever since it was made, and since I am not a nuclear expert I do not want to get very far afield. But rumor has it some of the uranium is "missing", and rumor has it the "missing" uranium went to Iran. [NOTE: The Hill article says "Asia"; for those who do not know Iran is in Western Asia (not the Middle East, as I am certain many people believe).] Can I prove it? Of course not. But we are not here to play military intelligence officers. We are here to figure out what Peter Strzok's problem is, so let us continue.

The following article forced me to take a long break to try and calm down:

https://bigleaguepolitics.com/exposed-peter-strzok-grew-up-in-iran-worked-as-obama-and-brennans-envoy-to-iranian-regime/

"EXPOSED: Peter Strzok...Worked as Obama and Brennan's Envoy to Iranian Regime"

Let that sink in. 

I urge my readers to study every single word of that article, but I want to draw your attention to the dates it covers on this subject. 2011 through 2015. Who was Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency for most of that time?

General Flynn.

Do you think he might have been slightly interested in what was happening in Iran? 

YOU BET!

But, we are not quite done. It is time for the piece de resistance. We have been discussing Peter Strzok for a while now, and John Brennan's name keeps rearing its ugly head. But now we add another name:

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-05-11/brennan-strzok-and-kerry-allegedly-set-espionage-traps-trump-team-hunt-fbi-mole

JOHN. FUCKING. KERRY.

If you are like me, you are now wishing you could just move into a padded room somewhere, safe from the world, with plenty of medication to keep you looped. So, I will allow you to read that article on your own; it has some excellent information on the spy infiltration of the Trump campaign. But, we are getting there, readers. Again, if anyone has anything to add, please comment below or reach me on Twitter at @PizzaGateLibya.

General Flynn vs. Peter Strzok: Round Two?

...Or, maybe, Round Three?

Since Thursday, with the exception of very short breaks, I have been digging into Peter Strzok's history. There is precious little to be found when searching his name, and his biography, as it were, skips decades at a time. However, thanks to fellow Internet researchers/analysts, I have been able to piece together some disturbing information and, with the help of a couple of extremely experienced and well-qualified friends, have come up with a couple of hypotheses I will share later in this article.

Peter Strzok is an arrogant ass. As I watched him during the joint congressional hearing, I really wanted to knock the man out of his chair! My personal favorite line of his was, "Happy to indulge you." SLAP!!! He exudes "I know more than you do and you are far too stupid to catch me!" It was that attitude that got me reconsidering what happened to General Flynn. Having watched that performance, I found it impossible to believe he did not catch it, yet somehow he fell into Strzok's "trap". I have never, for one minute, believed such a thing happened, but now I know it. So, I decided to take a little trip into Strzok's history. The results are alarming.

Oddly enough, I got this idea from the movie "Thirteen Days". (Don't laugh.) I remembered Kenny O'Donnell trying to figure out if the back channel who had approached the Kennedy administration was genuinely representing Khrushchev. He went to the FBI and compared Khrushchev's biography with the man in question, side-by-side. Lo-and-behold, the two had met while in the military. So, I asked myself the same question. Is it possible General Flynn and Peter Strzok met before the whole "Russian collusion" nonsense began? 

My first stop was Wikipedia, which has precious little to say about the G-man. Next, I found the following post on Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/greatawakening/comments/8yhcdf/peter_strzok_bio/

The first comment gave me a starting point, along with doing a little math to determine Strzok had to have been active duty late 1991/early 1992 through 1995/1996. Next, I began asking questions on Twitter. Before long, someone told me that the 82nd (General Flynn) probably did joint exercises with the 101st (Strzok), but they were not certain. Meanwhile, I was checking various hashtags, and I found the following thread:

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1018016658990948352.html

Thomas Wictor is a well-known researcher and blogger, and the information in this thread is startling, to say the least. Peter Strzok Sr. worked for a well-known CIA front company (Bell-Textron) in...wait for it...IRAN. He states in the newspaper article that he was a fan of the Ayatollah Khomeini. I will let readers finish that thread on their own, because I need to move on to the next link. This one comes from another researcher and blogger, "SnowWhite7IAM:

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1017453333743796225.html

Skipping past all of the commentary on the hearing, we reach the following, stunning information: Peter Strzok worked for the FBI and CIA at the same time:

https://brassballs.blog/home/strzok-worked-for-cia-and-fbi-at-the-same-time-in-counterespionage

This position was created by Congress in 1996? If so, that would explain why Peter Strzok was on the Joint Secret Service/CIA Task force. I urge readers to go through this thread very carefully, along with the following related Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/greatawakening/comments/8z0b9c/peter_strzok_worked_for_the_cia_and_fbi_at_the/

So now that I had a launching point, I began doing some independent searches and came up with the following, very disturbing article:

https://americandigitalnews.com/2018/02/09/obama-strzok-family-connection-spans-decades/#.W0y3-tVKjIU

Let us walk through this. The first thing we see is Haiti. Hold onto your hats for that one; we will return to it in just a moment. Then the writer begins tracing Peter Strzok's family tree and, boy, is it interesting. And very frightening. Iran. CIA. Nuclear reactors. General James Cartwright (related by marriage). Stuxnet (the computer worm allegedly planted in Iran by the Israelis, said information having been leaked by Cartwright):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuxnet

We also have Kenya. Late-night meetings at the White House. Melissa's promotion to the SEC at a very suspicious time. Peter Jr. being the last one to see the Datto server. The rest of the article covers possible connections to Barack Obama, but it is slightly off the topic of this post. 

Back to Haiti. In my endeavor to determine whether-or-not General Flynn and Peter Strzok ever crossed paths in the Army, someone brought up Operation Uphold Democracy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Uphold_Democracy

As readers will note, the 101st joined the 82nd in that operation. Does that necessarily mean the two men meet in Haiti? No, but the person went on to mention Fort Polk, home of the Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Polk

Could they have met there? We might be able to figure that out if we had Strzok's full biography instead of that threadbare Wikipedia article. Either way, given Peter Strzok Sr.'s involvement with Catholic Relief Services (a rumored CIA front), it is pretty much a given that, by the time of the earthquake and the subsequent Haiti Relief Fund being raided by the Clintons, I believe we have enough "there, there" to warrant further investigation:

https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2294302

I have every reason to believe I am on track when I assert there was some other motive in Peter Strzok's treatment of General Flynn other than "just" hating this administration, and I will be digging further starting right after I finish this post. I firmly believe this is the key to clearing General Flynn's name. Please stay tuned and, if any of my readers has information that would help, please feel free to post a comment.

General Flynn: The Truth Explodes

Wednesday morning I saw a Twitter thread that sent my mind spinning:

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1014351249754415110.html

The information is well-researched and well-written. I am not going to regurgitate nor rewrite; rather, I would like to include my own thoughts based upon two days of weeding through it. I encourage my readers to follow along and, while time-consuming, do their own digging. 

[NOTE: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND readers open Mr. Carlson's article side-by-side with mine as you read.]

First, when I read about Mission Ridge and Integrity Applications Incorporated (IAI), my mind went to the Department of Defense and CIA. More on that as we get further into the information presented. Let me just ask the reader to suspend judgment as to whether or not IAI is a "private contractor". 

The next tweet in the thread contains this article:

https://themarketswork.com/2018/04/05/the-uncovering-mike-rogers-investigation-section-702-fisa-abuse-the-fbi/

Incredible work by Jeff Carlson, CFA. For whatever reason, I did not know about "The Market Works" until this week. Many thanks to Nick Weil for educating me. 

Now, let us go through some of the astounding facts Mr. Carlson presents. Why is it the same names keep popping up? We barely begin this article before we see Mueller, Yates, Lynch (AG), and Clapper (DNI). Enter Admiral Mike Rogers who, as you will see, was brilliant. Readers will recall the report that James Clapper and Ash Carter (SECDEF) demanded Rogers be fired after his visit to Trump Tower on November 17th. As we shall see, Clapper made this demand one month earlier, at the same time Admiral Rogers reported FISA abuses to the FISC. (I am sure this was mere coincidence.) 

The next thing we notice is DOJ's and FBI's flagrant disregard of OIG Horowitz' request for oversight of the National Security Division at Justice, spearheaded by Sally Yates. So in April, 2016, Rogers stops "all outside contractor access to raw FISA data". (Sorry, guys. There are no page numbers here. I hope you are following along.) Remember that Peter Strzok was planning a trip to Mission Ridge in September, 2016? As we go through the timeline presented we see that, after the first FISA request was denied, the second was granted on October 21, 2016. Based upon what? The Fusion GPS so-called "dossier", which was commissioned by Perkins Coie between April and October of 2016. Perkins Coie is counsel of record for the DNC:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perkins_Coie

Unfortunately, Admiral Rogers did not get to the FISA court until October 26th, five days after the FBI had completed its end run around his order. Obviously, he realizes this so, on November 17th he visits President-Elect Trump. THAT SAME DAY, Trump moves his transition team out of Trump Tower. 

My impression at this point in the article is, the intelligence community (IC) was in an all-out war with Admiral Rogers, and I believe the data supports my impression. So far we have DOJ, the FBI, and the DNI all doing whatever-in-hell they want, inspectors general and NSA be damned. (Don't worry; CIA shows up shortly.) 

As to John Carlin, I have one word: Chickenshit.

DOJ's withholding of the IG's report of January 7, 2016 is nothing short of contempt of court. It is prosecutorial misconduct, worthy of sanctions. As we go on, let us recall the outrage when the American public discovered the NSA was collecting metadata! Citizens wanted the NSA burned to the ground! Yet, here we have umpteen violations of the Fourth Amendment, and we hear nary a whisper. 

"The NSA was unable to ascertain all the various avenues by which raw FISA data was accessed." This is where IAI, Fusion GPS and, I submit, CIA enter the picture. Readers will recall the release of Vault 7 by Wikileaks, showing all of the various tools that Julian Assange alleged were being used against American citizens. Unfortunately, someone has decided to shut off his access to the public so we cannot ask him about it. 

"FISA abuses were ongoing from at least November 1, 2015 through May 1, 2016. They almost certainly started earlier." Maybe around the time Donald Trump formally announced his candidacy for President of the United States on June 16, 2015? Peter Strzok: "No, no [Trump] won't. We'll stop it." How is he so cock-sure? 

I wish I had paper copies (not computer-generated) of the redactions. The blacked-out portions would be quite easy to read. As a matter of fact, I tried several times with the query violation table at the beginning of Mr. Carlson's article and I could just make out the difference between the overlaid black and the print beneath. Maybe if I were younger and my eyes were better I could do it. Regardless, we can make some educated guesses. "Private contractors, employed by the FBI, were given full access to raw FISA data." Again, the assumption that [redacted] is a "private contractor". How do we know that? It is common knowledge that CIA, while prohibited from operating against American citizens on U.S. soil, does PRECISELY THAT through front businesses. Maybe, like IAI and Fusion GPS?  I have my suspicions. 

Let us skip down close to the end. "The [Russia] report was technically created by a joint effort between the CIA...FBI...and the NSA...and assembled by the DNI...."

This report stated, "CIA and FBI have high confidence in this judgment; NSA has only moderate confidence." For those who are unfamiliar with the world of the IC, CIA and FBI seem to have a habit of working together, and I for one find CIA's glaring absence from most of this to be highly suspicious. How could John Brennan determine anything if he was just sitting on his hands? BTW, it is also well-known the CIA and the Pentagon work closely together. I wonder what Ash Carter was doing, besides demanding Admiral Rogers be fired? On what did he base that demand? Again, these are my thoughts; I cannot prove it (although I wish I could).

I leave it to far more well-trained and brilliant minds than mine to go into all of the nuances of this outrageous activity. The reason for my article is that EVERYTHING THAT WAS COLLECTED BASED UPON THE FISA WARRANT AND SUBSEQUENT RENEWALS WAS OBTAINED ILLEGALLY, and therefore any and all investigations and subsequent indictments based upon that warrant are "fruit of the poisonous tree" and are NULL AND VOID. First and foremost, General Flynn's "confession" was extracted in violation of Brady:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brady_disclosure

Not only was the investigation tainted, but prosecutors failed to disclose exculpatory evidence (not the least of which was the FBI's own admission, via James Comey, that he was NOT found to be untruthful).

General Flynn's continued legal trouble is insane. It is a travesty. It is a war against a man who has done NOTHING but serve this country with distinction and honor. A court-of-martial would be appalled, and a first-year JAG would wipe the floor with this "case"! The plea agreement should be thrown out WITH PREJUDICE (meaning the government can never raise the issue again), and Judge Sullivan should send General Flynn home with his deepest apologies.

Let us pray he does.

#NXIVM, #Gulen, #Syria, and #Benghazi (cont.)

"That which hath been is that which will be and that which hath been done is that which shall be done, and there is nothing new under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 1:9)

The verse popped into my head repeatedly as I was reading detail after detail of what Keith Raniere did to his "converts". I kept thinking, "I have seen this movie before", and indeed I have. Many times, as a matter of fact. Let me give readers just one example from the following website (many thanks to Frank Parlato):

"According to the complaint, India told Jane Doe 2 that in order to learn more, she had to provide 'collateral', which Jane Doe 2 did in the form of a video in which Jane Doe 2 divulged a damaging secret...."

https://frankreport.com/2018/04/12/artvoice-catherine-oxenbergs-daughter-india-identified-as-criminal-co-conspirator-in-sex-slaver-nxivm-cult/

Did anyone else flash on any similar situations? The first thing that popped into my head was the Skull and Bones Society:

http://tarpley.net/online-books/george-bush-the-unauthorized-biography/chapter-7-skull-and-bones-the-racist-nightmare-at-yale/

But that is only one of potentially dozens, if not hundreds, of such associations in this country and the implications are staggering. For years, those of us who love America have been stumped as to why men who seemed to care about this country as much as we do suddenly became incapable of standing their ground on any issue of importance, eventually coming to the conclusion they were being blackmailed over some unknown issues.

I urge everyone to go through Frank Parlato's website with a fine-toothed comb; it contains so much more than "just" India Oxenberg's case. Meanwhile, let us get back to cases that are similar to that of NXIVM. For those readers who were diligent during the email drops in the 2016 election, subsequent cases of human trafficking that have been uncovered, and a certain television star who has been trying fervently to educate us, another cult should come to mind: Scientology. And, for those readers who have been keeping up with "QAnon" who had Scientology spring to mind, they now have three little letters of the alphabet running through their minds: "C", "I", and "A". Let me just post a search page so that readers can take their pick(s) of relevant article(s):

https://www.ask.com/web?q=CIA+and+Scientology

CIA (and other intelligence agencies such as the KGB) have used sex in order to keep marks under control and/or force them into doing things they would not do otherwise. It is a despicable habit, and I could write a complete dissertation on this tactic, but time and space do not permit me to go down that trail at this time.

Which brings us to Benghazi. What could possibly connect a perverted cult to a terrorist attack in North Africa? How about Sara Bronfman and her husband, Baset Igtet? Did my readers go through the links I provided in my first post on April 15th? I deliberately left out the following article because it is simply so explosive it should have everyone's undivided attention:

https://frankreport.com/2017/09/13/libya-allison-mack-sara-bronfman-and-baset-igtet/

When I first ran across this article I had no idea what I was going to find. I certainly had no idea how long my mouth was going to hang open after reading it. John Kerry and John McCain. The hair on the back of my neck is standing up just from typing those two names. Additionally, the mention of the U.S./Libya Chamber of Commerce has my brain reaching for something it cannot quite find, so I must pose a question to my readers: Didn't Ambassador Stevens attend some sort of ceremony a day or two before his death? If so, was it a ground-breaking or an opening for this CoC? (I am not being lazy; I have a zillion files and I am not putting my finger on the right page[s] yet.)

I was stunned, to say the least, when I ran across a connection between NXIVM and Benghazi. I would never have suspected in a million years. But, the evidence is clear that, at the very least, Igtet had a sentimental interest in his home town and, combined with what I uncovered in 2016, he is definitely someone I would label a "person of interest". For those who have not seen my Benghazi/PizzaGate post, here is the link:

http://ladonnarae1961.blogspot.com/2016/12/benghazi-pizzagate.html

I had no idea how right I was, did I? While this one article drew more readers than any article I have written before or since, I was still only scratching the surface. At the same time, the NXIVM connection seems to answer some questions that were left hanging after I tied PizzaGate to Benghazi, and resurrects some others I have yet to answer. Remember, we already knew about the gun-running (see link above), so the excuse that CIA had an annex in order to track weapons just does not fly. Now, if you would like to float a theory whereby CIA was monitoring human trafficking or doing something a little shadier like "helping" people make such liaisons, I am more than willing to listen. And, one last question: Who was the woman CIA was protecting that night before they were called back to the compound because of the attack? Supposedly she was talking about some sort of oil deal; could it have been Sara Bronfman and, if so, were they discussing oil, or human, distribution? So many questions, even after five-and-one-half years. 

At any rate, I believe I have given readers enough to digest, so let me close here and save Fethullah Gulen for next time. Please post any thoughts, possible answers, or questions in the comments section below. Thank you for reading!
