"Anna Scholl," she said, slipping out the forged identification card that showed her to be a member of the safeguards and inspections staff of the International Atomic Energy Agency. "To see Pierre Pertels."

The guard examined her breasts long enough to see if they matched her identification, then noted her name on his register and called upstairs...; 9/26/24, 8:08 PM

Now why would they unleash this prosecution now? That's not the question. The question is why did they let a known felon accumulate power for a decade?

Our FBI seems like a Russian KGB operation ensuring that ONLY criminals ever get power. So that they can take them out whenever they become inconvenient.

DINKY DAU 45 said...: Newsmax and Smartmatic settle 2020 US election defamation lawsuit
Pair reach agreement days before case, filed after rightwing network aired false voter claims, was due to go to trial
A spokesman for the Delaware courts said the case had been settled on Thursday. He did not offer additional details. The trial was set to begin in Wilmington on Monday.The terms of the settlement are not public.
“Newsmax is pleased to announce it has resolved the litigation brought by Smartmatic through a confidential settlement,” Bill Daddi, a spokesman for the network, said in a statement.
After the 2020 election, Newsmax aired several false claims about the company, whose voting machines were only used in Los Angeles county in 2020. The network repeatedly aired false claims from Trump allies that the software was widely used across the country and that it had been hacked to change votes.Smartmatic sued Newsmax, Fox, One America News Network (OANN) and others for broadcasting their false claims. It settled the case with OANN earlier this year and the Fox case is still pending in New York.
Smartmatic said in a statement: “We are very pleased to have secured the completion of the case against Newsmax. We are now looking forward to our court day against Fox Corp and Fox News for their disinformation campaign. Lying to the American people has consequences. Smartmatic will not stop until the perpetrators are held accountable.” Sometimes its just a matter ot time. All involved with the trump won conspiracies and fraud claims are all paying.FOX $787,000,000 I bet the FOXERS dont even know it. trump has always said" we love the uneducated" GOOGLE IT. tHESE ARE ALL JUST TIPS OF THE ICEBERG, its not lawfare its charged convicted and paying for disinformation and deceit. PAY BACK IS A BITCH ask Ruppert AND SONS.; 9/26/24, 10:42 PM

@RNCResearch

Biden refers to Senator JD Vance as "Secretary Vance," then regurgitates the debunked lie that he dismissed school shootings as "facts of life."

That's a disgusting lie from a man in cognitive decline (which Kamala covered up).

What a sick and twisted world we find ourselves in.

To say such a thing like ‘I’m voting for abortion! There is nothing more important.’ is grotesque and horrible.

Jennifer Lawrence endorses Kamala Harris for president because “abortion is literally on the ballot.”

wendybar said...: Interesting, but not surprising.

"For reasons that only it can explain, CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 decided to do a research project on what 10 and 11-year olds think about Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, and their supporters. On Wednesday, they reported that kids who are more supportive of Trump are more tolerant than those who are more supportive of Harris, but desperately tried to explain this away by claiming that could simply be due to them not knowing as much about her."

Ann Althouse said...: "Jupiter’s link posts a video of a cat being killed by having its neck wrung. I’m pretty sure that’s a violation of Blogger’s rules."

What rule? Would it also violate a rule to put up a link to the killing of George Floyd? To a hunter shooting a deer? To a lion pouncing on a zebra? Or is there a special rule about pets? Cite the rule. I'd like to read it and try to understand it, but you're just wafting fear that a rule might be violated. Why would you do that? That feels like intimidation. That feels as though you have a taste for censorship.; 9/27/24, 5:28 AM
Ann Althouse said...: Note: I have never watched the George Floyd video because I believe it is morally wrong to watch a human being die.; 9/27/24, 5:29 AM
Ann Althouse said...: It's not entertainment. It's important to know what happened. If you couldn't believe what you read about George Floyd's death, you might morally watch in order to understand the event. In the case of "eating the dogs and cats," there's mostly doubt that it's happening at all. It's a big political issue. If someone offers evidence, looking at the evidence isn't the same as watching animal torture as pornography.; 9/27/24, 5:33 AM
Ann Althouse said...: With pornography, those doing the actions are the ones profiting from the video of the actions. That's why a snuff film is different from the George Floyd video. If you wanted to censor the George Floyd video because it is, you say, a snuff film, we would properly suspect you of wanting to suppress evidence of police brutality.; 9/27/24, 5:36 AM

Inga said...: https://www.blogger.com/content-policy

“Violence and Gore
Do not store or distribute violent or gory content involving real- life people or animals that’s primarily intended to be shocking, sensational, or gratuitous. This includes ultra-graphic material, such as dismemberment or close-up footage of mutilated corpses, and graphic material, such as content containing significant amounts of blood. Content may be allowed in an educational, documentary, scientific, or artistic context, but please be mindful to provide enough information to help people understand the context. In some cases, content may be so violent or shocking that no amount of context will allow that content to remain on our platforms. Lastly, don't encourage others to commit specific acts of violence.”

The posting of this video by Jupiter of a cat getting its neck wrung serves no purpose like a nature documentary, or a news segment on police brutality. It serves no purpose, it’s gratuitous, shocking and sensational. I have a distaste for animal cruelty shown because one commenter wants to insult another commenter. Of course it’s your blog, but I think it does violate the Blogger Content Policy.; 9/27/24, 6:41 AM

Ann Althouse said...: Thanks for your response, Inga. I deleted Jupiter's comment with the link.; 9/27/24, 7:34 AM
Ann Althouse said...: By the way, I think this kind of back and forth with commenters abusing each other is a misuse of this forum, and if I wanted to take the time, I'd moderate all of it out. Please try to bring interesting substantive material to the comments and resist going against each other. I have a rule against commenter "back and forth," but I don't have time to moderate it all out.; 9/27/24, 7:37 AM
Ann Althouse said...: If Inga had invoked my rule and requested the deletion of Jupiter's comment, she would have gotten a much quicker and friendlier response. The first thing I saw was her message that invoked an unstated rule from Blogger and seemed aimed at intimidating me. That makes me antagonistic to YOU.; 9/27/24, 7:39 AM

I'm pretty sure that the jury was shown Floyd dying. Were the jurors immoral if they did not look away. Was the prosecutions immoral for showing it?
I suspect that you mean to say that it's immoral to entertain oneself by watching another person die.
