Not sure what to make of this. Ideas?



Then I stumbled across these last night, causing me to rummage through the internet for answers until about 4:30AM.

  • While discussing the text of a write-up on Libya, she writes in an email: "Ok–and Minerva agrees." To which Jacob Sullivan replies: "Do you think the last paragraph violates the owl/minerva rule? They are fine with the last paragraph."

  • An email from Sydney Blumenthal to HIllary talks about Bohemian Grove at one point, noting that Colin Powel and Henry Kissenger were there in 2009 (around when a couple of the emails were sent).

  • W. Lewis Amselem (a right wing leftover from the Bush administration) ends a rather dull email with this tid-bit: "With fingers crossed, the old rabbit’s foot out of the box in the attic, I will be sacrificing a chicken in the backyard to Moloch …" Moloch, a god whose followers perform child sacrifice.

It's probably nothing, but I find it interesting that Hillary knows more about this stuff than I do, as do others, and enough to make jokes about it.

There's more, including an offhand comment to Lynn Forester de Rothschild about a "penance" she owed her, but almost all of this stuff can be explained away as inside jokes about some of the weird poo poo that goes on amongst the power elite. Still, it's odd to get confirmation that these sorts of topics really circulate in DC.

Ridiculous racism of this poo poo aside for a second, I've met actual 'ethnomasochists' in the wild, they're merely incredibly annoying when they belong to a privileged group, but downright dangerous when they belong to a disadvantaged one.

They are the "early" and "late" editions of the paper

Trump shared a podium with the Mexican president to issue conciliatory statements, and then that very same day flew back to Arizona to make a speech reiterating all his weird xenophobic fantasies

How the hell can a newspaper keep up with pivots that fast?

We have this thing in Amsterdam. According to local legend someone bought it for cheap when the USSR was collapsing, brought it here, and briefly used it as an art gallery and party space, but soon had to abandon it because he didn't know how to maintain a submarine and it quickly flooded.

“I lost. The n***er won,” read Midland City, Alabama, Mayor Patsy Capshaw Skipper’s response to a friend asking about this week’s election results, according to multiple reports.
Skipper, who is white, lost her mayoral race Tuesday to JoAnn Bennett Grimsley, a black woman.

That vaguely reminds me of something from the last chapter of The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. The context is a debate between members of the Socialist Party of America about what Socialism would be like.

"Of intellectual and moral things, on the other hand, there was no limit, and one could have more without another's having less; hence "Communism in material production, anarchism in intellectual," was the formula of modern proletarian thought. As soon as the birth agony was over, and the wounds of society had been healed, there would be established a simple system whereby each man was credited with his labor and debited with his purchases; and after that the processes of production, exchange, and consumption would go on automatically, and without our being conscious of them, any more than a man is conscious of the beating of his heart. And then, explained Schliemann, society would break up into independent, self-governing communities of mutually congenial persons; examples of which at present were clubs, churches, and political parties.

After the revolution, all the intellectual, artistic, and spiritual activities of men would be cared for by such "free associations"; romantic novelists would be supported by those who liked to read romantic novels, and impressionist painters would be supported by those who liked to look at impressionist pictures--and the same with preachers and scientists, editors and actors and musicians. If any one wanted to work or paint or pray, and could find no one to maintain him, he could support himself by working part of the time. That was the case at present, the only difference being that the competitive wage system compelled a man to work all the time to live, while, after the abolition of privilege and exploitation, any one would be able to support himself by an hour's work a day. Also the artist's audience of the present was a small minority of people, all debased and vulgarized by the effort it had cost them to win in the commercial battle, of the intellectual and artistic activities which would result when the whole of mankind was set free from the nightmare of competition, we could at present form no conception whatever."

I don't think protests are vigilante justice. I guess I think it's cool that the rapist and his wretched parents get to be inconvenienced and terrorized for a few weeks.
