That’s difficult to imagine. Even if Trump were a man of celestial wisdom and education, he’d be overwhelmed. As you say, also, without agency, without power. But it may be worse than mere war during the interregnum period, it may be ruin and defeat. The N type thingies are liable to accelerate the pace by magnitudes. Meantime…Col. Lawrence Wilkerson : Netanyahu Deceives US Into War  (Napolitano)  https://youtu.be/PyWplojiYNM

As some experts have speculated the nazi cabal may design to avoid an election altogether by the excuses created by a war that involves getting lots of people in the US killed, possibly in a false flag attack, possibly by a genuine “reprisal” by a Russia provoked by atomic attack.

Catchy title and stimulating topic…right?

Scott Ritter : US to Attack Russia (again)

At https://www.rt.com/shows/crosstalk/603763-freedom-speech-right-russiagate/ Peter mis-stated the basic law of the US, insofar as the Constitution grants no right, but prohibits the Government from making laws that abridge pre-existing rights, such as the free speech that existed prior to the Constitution, the right to arms and militia, and so on. Peter, as he claims to be an historian, might be expected to know better. Napolitano, better qualified, has uttered explicit remarks in this matter. Explaining, for example, that the article the preceding free speech was inserted by Jefferson to make this differentiation clear and explicit.

The guests make, near the terminus of the show, predictions as to the expected “October Surprise”, one is the occurrence, creation, of an emergency as an excuse to cancel the election, and other is that the US will have by that time managed to “start” World War Three. I use “start” in protest, as in my view it’s already begun. Shall we then rather say “accelerate” or “heat up” the war to a very large extent? Presumably by getting people in the US killed, one way or another. One may be minded of Operation Northwoods, and “9-11”, two false flag “attacks”. However, a genuine attack may well take place. Not to imply that a genuine attack would be sui generis.

Yes, that was my understanding. Both the video he proffered, and the one at your link are about “phonics”, the latter to adults. They are only somewhat related to learning to read, and almost unrelated to learning english. What I described was based on how my mother learned to both read and speak english, and also myself. It’s also how an old, now dead, colleague taught his sons to read and speak english. Mother could read since the age of 3. Evidently boys take a bit longer. About 5 or so. If you differentiate between two cats you can know whole words on sight, with “names” properly pronounced. Unfamiliar complex words in english have irregular pronounciation, one simply has to hear them said, and practice. I ought to have also written that copying text in longhand is a great help in both learning the language as spoken, reading it, and especially in learning composition and style. Mother, though a professor of law, was basically a writer. Newspaper work, short stories, legal writing, and finally poetry in retirement. Her pathway into and through the language seemed to work pretty well. Alas, my children were taught in school, and read and write the language rather poorly. And slowly, I’m sorry to say. Mother’s process of learning to read was, she said, effortless. Simply the joy of reading along with her father as he pointed at words and spoke them aloud while reading whatever he chose, newspapers, medical books, whatever interested him. As a second language, well, I wonder how Conrad learned to write english. From my eye, there’s one very big language with many dialects and styles of syntax and grammar.  I thought I gave good suggestions in reply to AHH’s question, which was  A considerate Egyptian colleague and friend sent us this recommendation on how to teach English. What do you think of the method?

And my opinion, well, observation, was: I think they’re not teaching English, but reading it aloud, and by a pedagogical approach called, I think, “phonics”.  After that I said more precisely what I thought, and something of what I know about ways to learn english. These are not exclusive. They apply just as well to Greek or Russian, etc. Behaviorist theory figures in the method, lots of positive reinforcement.

Seems to be huntin’ season… 😉 Open season, it is permitted to take as many birds as you please, no limit, no license required!

The lady packs a wallop. https://youtu.be/fGat3ermsM0 Anya Parampil : US Disrupts What It Hates

at 21:35 …it almost seems as if it’s an intentional Ploy by our government it feels like they just want us to be unstable here at this point because I don’t see any other reason why they would go ahead with such a boneheaded policy we could…

Indeed, she’s right, and the title is too, thus we learn, or better, see, that the US hates itself, more precisely the deep state, the “free state” fears and hates the people. Of course Barry and Big Mike did produce a film, didn’t they?

Napolitano knows how to depose a witness, and this learned skill carries over to a fine interviewing style, good focus, clear questions, stays on the agenda.

I wonder how the relationship between Russia and “Israel” might change, Jordan will take a dim view of the West Bank assault that seems liable to get quite violent.
