🕷️Meet Joe Arguelles, a comparative biology Ph.D. student in the Museum’s Richard Gilder Graduate School. His research focuses on understanding the molecular drivers of the incredible mechanical properties of spider silks.

🕸️He also studies the evolution of “prey capture systems” (silk, venom, and vision) in active hunting spiders, and how these genes have changed in response to the loss of web-spinning behavior.

What if...The Cross Zone got a lot bigger?

From the creative minds that bought you Namco X Capcom, Project X Zone was released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2012 in Japan and worldwide in 2013, receiving great praise as it bought characters from three legendary game developers -- Capcom, Sega, and Namco Bandai -- to crossed worlds, dimensions, and the fabric of time for the ultimate cross-over tactical RPG mashup!

But what if the cross zone had gotten a whole lot bigger with even MORE titles and are joined by even more characters from surprising guest companies.

Review: Dead Simple - Peter James (Roy Grace, 1)

Title: Dead Simple Author: Peter James Series: Roy Grace, 1 Release Date: December 2005 Publisher: Pan Macmillan Rating: 3.5 stars

Favourite character: Emma-Jane Least favourite character: Mark

Mini-Review: I'm not entirely sure what to make of this. I didn't hate it, but the writing felt… all over the place in some ways. Or maybe it was just me, but there were a lot of plot twists that were explained in a passing sentence. Other than that and some of the more scandalous descriptions of sex or an autopsy, I did enjoy this. Numerous plot twists had me going: EXCUSE ME?!?!!?

Fan Cast: Roy Grace - Matt Smith Glenn Branson - John Boyega Nick Nicholls - Dino Fetscher Bella Moy - Charlie Murphy Emma-Jane "EJ" Boutwood - Erin Kellyman Cleo Morey - Vanessa Kirby Alison Vosper - Jemma Redgrave Michael Harrison - Harry Treadaway Ashley Harper - Samara Weaving Mark Warren - Harry Lloyd Gill Harrison - Miranda Richardson Phil Wheeler - Sean Gilder Joe Tindall - Jason Watkins Harry Frame - David Bradley Vic - Noah Taylor Sandy Grace - Juno Temple

[rauthschild]

There is no excuse, no lawful basis, no legal basis for what the Biden Administration is doing here in The United States of North America, in the Family of Nations, or abroad.

Let us make this abundantly clear: Joe Biden is the "President" of the "White House Office, Inc." and nothing else.  He is the President of what remains of the Dutch East India Company, nothing else.  

He is not the President of The United States.  He is not the President of The United States of America. 

He is a con artist, a phony, a fall guy, an actor.  Literally.  And the election process that elected him was phony, too, quite apart from any wrong-doing or voting machine hacking or mail-in ballot fraud.  It was already a three-dollar bill. 

No, the elections in this country have been tainted with fraud since the 1850's.  

This is when the United States of America, Incorporated, the British Territorial Subcontractor, started holding "public private" elections, and poured tons of money into political parties and campaigns and talking up the importance of having the ability to "vote".  

Little did the victims realize that the "enfranchisement" that these British Snake Oil Salesmen were selling was an undisclosed "opportunity" to give up their identity as free men and women and as Autochthonous Americans, for the privilege of adopting the second-class political status of a U.S. Citizen (human) voting in the private corporate elections of a bankrupt British Corporation, so that they could inherit its debts. 

That wasn't ever disclosed to the Autochthonous American Public. Guess you can all see why. 

That's how Lincoln got elected.  And that is the Office he got elected to.  The British Territorial corporation dba the United States of America, Inc. was on the verge of bankruptcy and did go bankrupt in 1863. 

So, how did Lincoln get into the White House?  

The White House belongs to the colluding Roman Catholic Municipal Government. 

They let Lincoln occupy the White House, which in the minds of the gullible Autochthonous American Public, meant that Lincoln must be the right and only President. 

And now, let us observe that it was the Roman Catholics with the emphasis on "Roman" who were seeking a new life in America, a place where religious tolerance would finally allow the Roman Pontiff room to exercise his priesthood.  

The White House-- built in 1792 and the oldest government-related structure in the Federal Capitol,  is named after Jesuit Father Andrew White, SJ, who reportedly said the first Mass in Maryland, which was, obviously, a Catholic Colony named after the Virgin Mary, or, not so obviously, after Mary Magdalene.  

Now, it may not appear to be connected, but only seven years later, the Dutch East India Company (1602-1799) was finally taken over for good by the British East India Company.  

Understand that the Union Dutch East India Company was chartered by the Government of the Netherlands in 1602, and was the first Transnational joint-stock company in the world. 

Understand that the Union Dutch East India Company was one of the key players in the giant Insurance Fraud known as the Bottomry Bonds Scandal that accompanied Queen Anne to the British Throne -- and it was under the charter of Queen Anne's Brother-in-Law, William of Orange; this situation  forced an uneasy collusion between the Union Dutch East India Company and the British East India Company that endured until a fourth lovers' quarrel (British Navy acting as privateers against the Dutch Commercial Fleet) resulted in the formal dissolution of the Dutch East India Company in 1799.  

This was little more than a merger ending a collusive monopoly, to keep the peace and the gilders and the marks and the kroners supporting the British Pound Sterling.  

And who was the British King during all this?  None other than our former liege-lord, George III.  

We have wandered around the block a bit, but the point is to demonstrate that collusive commercial monopolies engaged in shipping and colonization, supported by several Continental Monarchies and the British Monarchy, too, underlie the economies  of modern Europe. 

And the so-called Kings of Britain were already pre-sold out to the Pope. 

Britain, the Company,  took over the shipping and colonization and mercenary forces portion of the operation in 1799, leaving the Dutch to specialize in banking, overland trading, warehousing, and business capitalization. They were still working hand-in-hand and for the same people. 

Now, we come to America and the American version of this same arrangement.  Instead of the Dutch East India Company, we had the United States Trading Company.  Instead of the British East India Company, we had the United States of America Trading Company.  

And although these were all transnational joint-stock companies chartered by European Monarchies, they were all ultimately administered by the British King, and at the end of the day, owned by the Roman Catholic Pope. 

We already went over how Henry the Eighth double-crossed the Anglican Church, and now, we shall hear how Charles the Second, a staunch Roman Catholic, ordered both of his daughters (and heirs) to be brought up as Protestants. 

The British Kings make 40% of the lifetime estimated estate value of Protestants and nothing off Roman Catholics.  So, of course, they were at pains to encourage Protestantism throughout their realm(s), even though they were working for the Pope the whole time and owed their crowns to him.   

Then, and to this day, they make the bulk of their money selling the estates and labor assets of "lost" Protestants --- and of course, by controlling trade routes, war, privateering, colonies, and courts. 

These are all British franchises, and they get a cut off all of it, though the Pope continued to receive his Lion's share. 

They haven't been able to get a good war going for a long time -- or, at least a long time for them.

Between 1776 and 2024 this country, the cheapest and best source of mercenaries for the British, has been at peace for exactly 22 years out of 248. Think about it. Think hard. 

The discovery of the betrayal of the British Anglican Church and all associated Protestant faiths is having an effect on the money train between Rome and London, so they have fallen back on their second most reliable income stream: war.  

They are now desperate to start a war and to make money any way they can.  They don't care if it's a fake civil war in America or a genocide in Gaza or a proxy war in Ukraine.  

The rest of the world is slowly choking them off. 

To make matters worse, the Americans are waking up, including the American military. 

To be blunt, the Transnational Transexual worshipers of Baal, Mammon and Baphomet, had hoped to be out of here and safely away in "peaceful China" selling their wares by now. 

They love war because they make money--- lots and lots of money --- off war, but they always plan to be somewhere safe themselves.  

While the Brits are trying to set America ablaze and trying to provoke the Arab states throughout the Middle East, they are being forced to rely on American Manpower instead of Chinese. 

Quite obviously, the Americans are on to them now and even if they survive in the Middle East, there is no place to come home to.  Not even Britian.  That, above all else, is why they have been trying to clear a path to a new era of Colonialism in Africa.  

They've already lost China as their landing place.

Now they've lost Ukraine.  

Russia sweet-talked and assisted all the targeted countries in Africa --- having been attacked by the Euro-scum and not for the first time, they are now all allied with Russia.   

Read that -- most of Africa is now allied with Russia. 

Russia is already allied with Iran, and if possible, will be allied with Turkey soon -- a Trifecta melding Russian muscle and production capability with Iranian technical and scientific excellence and local knowledge, all meshing with the ferocious and well-equipped million-man Turkish Army. 

This note to the U.S. Military --- color your rumps gone, boys, if you are fools enough to be dragged into this one, and stop guarding your own home. 

President Erdogan of Turkey is suddenly the Belle of the Ball, with Vladimir Putin putting in his visit just in time for the Eastern Orthodox Church money and the F-15 Fighter bribe to wear off.  

Bear in mind, that if a Great-Grandma in Big Lake, Alaska, can see this at a glance, so can a lot of other people worldwide. 

No doubt, Erdogan and his Ministers remember what the Brits did to the Ottoman Empire, even if nobody in America ever read the history.  And that has to be a really good motive for revenge---especially with the perceived value of U.S. Treasuries sinking into the Mariana Trench and the long-term bond market following after.  

It does no good to kill Biden, Pelosi, nor the whole crowd of Leftist tools. The anxious bankers backing the Brits and Israel (because if they don't, their own dirty laundry comes out) will have bought new candidates by morning and made it look like this was an attack on America instead of an attack on "the US". 

No, no, no, no.  It does no good to take out the puppets and addicts and perverts. It's the puppetmasters who have to go. 

Nor does it pay us to talk good, common sense -- like Colonel MacGregor suggests --  tell Israel we don't support genocide, and if this continues in Gaza, we're pulling out. 

That is, in fact, the only solution for us and them. 

Continuing this insanity of attacking Iran means that Israel will be obliterated from the map. 

Even if they somehow coerced or paid every able-bodied man in America to go over to the Middle East and be slaughtered for the White House Office, Inc. and a purloined flag, it would still mean the obliteration of Israel. 

As Colonel MacGregor observes in the film clip below, the only chance that Israel has, is to quit the genocide in Gaza and do it now.  

But Netanyahu, like King Henry the Eighth, has cut his deal. Obviously. That's why he is still alive.  He will willingly betray Israel to its final end, while pretending to lead it to victory and riches. 

Just as Henry VIII acted as Head of the Anglican Church, while selling all his Protestant Subjects into slavery.  Netanyahu is working for the Pope.

The reason that Israelis will be misled and the reason that Netanyahu will betray them is to get rid of the Dome of the Rock and all the evidence that underlies Jerusalem, all the history, all the evidence.  

The Dracos think its time to fold the tent and collapse all the world religions that were headquartered in Jerusalem.  

Even though they participated in creating all these religions, and have used them as tools to divide and conquer, what they want now is to destroy the evidence.  Clean the slate and start over. 

Yes, we are chalk under a giant blackboard eraser to them, but then, the feeling is mutual.  

What we need is a short, sweet multinational declaration concerning the sins of the British Empire against mankind, telling the Brits to stop being puppets of Rome and telling Rome to knock it off -- or else.    

Consider it said, as of 1776.  It's called The A Declaration of July 4th, 1776. 

Those interested in saving their own lives should read it and confirm that all the evils that George III visited on the Colonists then have been visited on us again. 

We are not the only ones who have noticed the way that Britain is always at the bottom of the dogpile.  And we aren't the only ones who have tracked them back to their nest in Rome. 

Pinpoint attacks on specific targets would disable the entire Maritime Commercial Banking System and put an end to the puppeteers, the phony Stock Exchange, and the whole bailiwick. 

They know that.  We know that.  

They want us to take out Fleet Street and bomb Telaviv where the "New York Stock Exchange" resides.  They want the BEAST-System computer in Texas destroyed. They want us to destroy the evidence of their crimes.  

We all need to wake up from this bad dream and treat it for what it is: crime. 

It's not about Israel.  It's about money and control. 

It's not about "America".  It's about almost-300 year-old transnational commercial corporations that have been using us all, not just Americans, for sock puppets. 

It's not about innocent civilians in Gaza.  It's about oil that Israel needs but doesn't want to pay for, sitting right under the Gaza Strip. 

Israel wants the oil wealth and energy source for its own growth and development.  So they follow the Pied Piper and call their neighbors "animals" and murder them for their own selfish benefit. 

The "American" oil companies, that aren't really American at all, want to drain every last drop out of the Middle East before opening up the vast American resources. 

Of course, they don't want to pay us for that, either.  Thus both Gaza and the Americans become targets. 

You don't think that Joe Biden is an Oil Company Flunkie?  Think again.   

Just look at what Biden and his Administration have done to shut down domestic oil production using Theodore Roosevelt's same old cynical policy and cover story of "conservation" that benefits his cronies and nobody else?    

No, this about oil, too.  Lots of it. 

So, we think that on the small scale, it's apparent what needs to be done.  The CEO's of certain corporations need to be arrested.  And if that is not enough, entire Boards of Directors. 

For crimes against humanity.  

Please check out these videos for a clear-eyed vision of the world situation right now. 

Colonel MacGregor:

"Mistakes Were Not Made" -- notice the bizarre floor show of nurses with needles and patients jumping on hospital beds that were showcased at the London Olympics. No mistake.

Before this ends, the role of the French and Swiss Governments will become apparent, too.  

This is not a show, with a drama written in blood.  It's a horse opera with Russian cowboys. 

Remember: Russia, Iran, and Turkey.  Doesn't really matter what the rest of the region does. Russia has already taken Ukraine and half of Africa.

Paid (1930)

Unjustly sent to prison, Mary Turner (Joan Crawford) plots revenge upon those who sent her there - district attorney Demarest (Hale Hamilton) and Edward Gilder (Purnell Pratt). Once released she meets Joe Garson (Armstrong), an experienced crook, and together they concoct a breach of promise scam to be perpetrated upon the well-heeled elderly. In an ambitious step, Mary weds her enemy's son Bob Gilder (Douglass Montgomery). At the end, she has come to terms with her past and seeks peace of mind rather than revenge. A subplot involves a police-thwarted heist of a painting and the capture of Mary's comrade-in-crime Joe Garson (Robert Armstrong). Cast includes Marie Prevost and Polly Moran as Mary's fellow prison inmates.

“The Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Roberts has been extraordinarily friendly turf for corporations. It has been more than four years since the Court has reversed a lower court decision favoring corporate interests, according to a new analysis by the Constitutional Accountability Center, a progressive think tank.

Now, with the clock ticking for Senate Republicans to confirm President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, federal judge Amy Coney Barrett, the groups that helped push through Trump’s two previous nominees are again ready to spend tens of millions of dollars on advertisements to ensure Barrett receives the lifetime appointment.

With 53 Senate Republicans in this soon-to-end 116th Congress, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell needs to prevent no more than three defections to confirm Barrett with a simple majority. Two Republicans have publicly expressed disapproval of confirming Trump’s nominee so close to the election, Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, though it is not clear they have unequivocally committed to voting against Barrett—and the developing coronavirus outbreak among Republican senators is changing the vote count and confirmation timeline.

The conservative groups spending millions on television, digital, and direct mail ads hope to shore up GOP support for a nominee who is expected to be anti-abortion, socially conservative, and favorable to corporate interests.

All signs indicate that a potential Justice Barrett would continue the pro-corporate tilt of the Court. According to an analysis by the nonpartisan watchdog group Accountable.us, Judge Barrett sided with corporations over people 76% of the time on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, in 44 of 55 cases reviewed. For example, in the 2018 case of Bruce Betzner and Barbara Betzner v. The Boeing Company, Barrett voted to reverse a district court’s decision to send a personal injury lawsuit back to state courts, the outcome Boeing was seeking. In August, Barrett delivered a ruling that could block gig workers from suing when tech companies deny them overtime pay, according to a report from The Daily Poster.

The Roberts court has been stuffing its docket with cases in which lower courts ruled against corporate interests—fully 91% in the 2018-2019 term. Already on the docket for the term that starts on Oct. 5 are a number of cases that involve state rulings: Ford Motor Co. v. Montana Eighth Judicial District Court, which could limit where individuals can pursue personal injury suits; Rutledge v. Pharmaceutical Care Management Association, on whether states can regulate pharmacy benefit managers; and Carney v. Adams, on whether states can require judges to be affiliated with one of the two major political parties. Other cases to be heard by the Supreme Court will feature deceptive commercial activities, arbitration agreements that limit peoples’ ability to sue corporations, and even the enforcement of IRS reporting requirements.

FOLLOW THE MONEY

Many of the top funders of groups backing Barrett, including many Republican megadonors, are billionaire corporate executives—in industries like manufacturing, transportation, shipping supplies, and private equity financing—whose economic outlooks could benefit from Barrett being confirmed to the vacant seat.

Here are the top donors to conservative groups spending on the Barrett confirmation, according to FEC data from Jan. 1, 2019 to Aug. 31, 2020:

Club For Growth

The right-wing Club For Growth, known for backing far-right candidates against moderate Republican incumbents and a past recipient of funding from the Koch-linked Center to Protect Patient Rights, recently pledged to spend $5 million on ads to back Trump’s nominee. The group’s nonprofit arm received nearly $6.8 million from undisclosed donors from July 2017 through July 2018, according to tax documents. Its super PAC, Club For Growth Action, has reported receiving nearly $56 million in the 2020 election cycle, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics.

Club For Growth President David McIntosh said in a statement praising Barrett, “This choice will shape America’s future, as the Court considers cases relating to issues like the constant unconstitutional growth of government and whether federal agencies should have free rein to enact arbitrary rules without Congressional approval.”

Club For Growth has had huge support this year from Republican megadonor Richard Uihlein, the right-wing founder of shipping supplies company Uline, whose donations total $26.5 million this election cycle. Uihlein contributed $10 million to Club For Growth Action, the group’s super PAC, on Jan. 12, then $4 million on April 21 and another $10 million on August 8, according to FEC records.

Right-wing billionaire Jeff Yass, co-founder of financial firm Susquehanna International Group, donated over $17.5 million to the super PAC this cycle. Yass, a Pennsylvania-based options trader, has also contributed over $4 million to the conservative Protect Freedom PAC this cycle, making up the vast majority of its funding as reported in FEC records.

Also in this cycle, Club For Growth Action received over $2.1 million from the late Republican megadonor Richard Gilder, who died in May of congestive heart failure at the age of 87, and his ex-wife Virginia James. James has donated to the conservative Wisconsin state judge David Prosser in a 2011 recount battle and other Koch-related causes.

Richard and Barbary Gaby contributed over $1.6 million to Club For Growth Action. Barbara Gaby is the youngest child of Amway co-founder Jay Van Andel, who, with the DeVos family, has been a major funder of the the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), a nonprofit that helps Republican legislators collaborate with corporate lobbyists, and the Center for International Private Enterprise, a non-profit affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

America First Action

The pro-Trump super PAC America First Action is also promising ad buys totaling $5 million to promote Barrett in national television, digital and direct mail. Its nonprofit arm, America First Policies, took in $22 million in 2017 from donors whose identities it was not required to publicly disclose, while the PAC has received nearly $83 million this cycle, according to data from the Center for Responsive Politics.

The leading donors to the Trump super PAC, at $10 million apiece, have been Republican megadonor Timothy Mellon, the majority owner of transportation holding company Pan Am Systems, and Kelcy Warren, the billionaire co-founder and CEO of pipeline company Energy Transfer Partners whose Dakota Access pipeline has been mired in court battles over its potential to pollute key water sources in South Dakota.

Geoffrey Palmer, a Republican donor and billionaire real estate developer based in Los Angeles, has donated $6 million to America First Action. Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein threw in over $2.7 million. Three more familiar Trump megadonors have chipped in: Linda McMahon, the former pro wrestling executive who is now the super PAC’s chairwoman, with over $3.5 million; Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman, with $3 million; and Diane Hendricks of Wisconsin, chair of a roofing supply company and a Republican megadonor, with $2 million.

Richard DeVos, co-founder of Amway and husband of Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, has contributed $400,000 to America First Action. GOP megadonor Marlene Ricketts, wife of TD Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts, has given half a million dollars to the PAC.

Americans For Prosperity

Through a standalone website and by mobilizing its membership, the Koch brothers-founded libertarian advocacy group says it has sent 200,000 letters in support of Barrett to U.S. senators in the past week. The group’s super PAC has spent over $20 million this cycle in independent expenditures.

The majority of that amount has come from $7 million from Charles Koch’s fossil fuel conglomerate Koch Industries and close to $6.5 million from the Koch network’s Freedom Partners Action Fund, but several more corporate megadonors have given to Americans For Prosperity Action this cycle. Major GOP donor Ron Cameron, president of the Little Rock, Arkansas-based Mountaire Corporation, a chicken products producer, has contributed $3.5 million. Richard “Dick” Haworth, the former CEO of an eponymous office-interiors manufacturer company, and his wife Ethelyn contributed $1.5 million to AFP Action. Haworth attended an exclusive Vail, Colorado retreat convened by the Koch Brothers for donors who had given over $1 million to right-wing causes. Trucking executive Clarence L. Werner, a previous million-dollar donor to the Kochs’ Freedom Partners super PAC, kicked in $1.5 million on July 1. Individuals from several energy, timber, pipeline, and coal companies have given at least $100,000 each to the PAC.

Judicial Crisis Network

The Judicial Crisis Network’s leading role in the communications push to confirm Trump’s nominees has been funded recently through some $30 million received between July 2018 and June 2019, led by a $15.9 million donation from an anonymous donor, according to IRS records reviewed by the Daily Poster. JCN is organized as a “social welfare” nonprofit and is not required to disclose the identities of its donors.

In 2017, a secret donor behind a $17 million gift readied JCN for the Kavanaugh confirmation showdown, providing over three-fourths of the total amount it received that year. Together in the efforts to confirm Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch in 2017, JCN was estimated to have laid out $22 million.

Three additional groups on the right have said they’ll be spending money on efforts to confirm Barrett: anti-abortion nonprofit Susan B. Anthony List, conservative nonprofit Catholic Vote, and conservative, anti-LGBT nonprofit think tank American Principles Project. The Susan B. Anthony list has reported raising a bit over $1 million to its PAC this cycle from hundreds of donors giving $5,000 and below, while its non-profit arm received over $12 million in funding according to its most recent Form 990, for 2018.

Millions More Spent on State Judicial Races

While the Supreme Court hears cases involving lower courts’ rulings on consumer lawsuits and government regulations, the conservative groups pushing Trump’s nominees have also spent millions to influence state judicial races.

A December 2019 report by the nonpartisan policy institute Brennan Center for Justice, titled “The Politics of Judicial Elections, 2017–18,” noted that JCN quietly spent $3.8 million on state elections in those years. After JCN donated nearly $1 million last year to the Republican State Leadership Committee, a national 527 group dedicated to electing Republicans to state office, the RSLC transferred $1.2 million to the Judicial Fairness Initiative, which works as an effort under the RSLC to elect conservative state judges. In the 2018 election cycle, the Judicial Fairness Initiative received over $4.3 million from RSLC, according to IRS records compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics.

The Brennan Center tracked how in 2013-14, JCN sent half a million dollars to Wisconsin Club for Growth, which spent money that cycle for the successful reelection campaign of conservative Justice Patience Roggensack. In May, during oral arguments in front of the Wisconsin Supreme Court regarding a stay-at-home order issued by the state health department, Justice Roggensack appeared to downplay the importance of some cases by contrasting the workers at a meatpacking plant who had been exposed to a coronavirus outbreak with “the regular folks in Brown County.” She then joined the majority on the state Supreme Court in a 4-3 decision to strike down the order, which was supported by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.

The Judicial Ads Act, introduced in the Senate on July 2 by Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), would bring transparency to secretive groups like those that blasted out ads promoting Kavanaugh’s confirmation. The bill would require any group spending at least $50,000 in a year on federal judicial nomination advertisements to disclose the identity of any donor giving $5,000 or more. Recently introduced in a House version as well by Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), the measure is supported by the nonpartisan watchdog Campaign Legal Center. It could be taken up by Congress next year—most likely, if Democrats take control of the Senate—as part of the next version of H.R. 1, the For the People Act, a sweeping ethics package passed by the Democratic House in March 2019 that is not supported by any Republicans in Congress.”

Chuck Todd LOSES IT as GOP Senator lies to his face during fiery interview

COMMENTARY:

John Kennedy is a Poster Boy for the Nazification of the GOP by William F. Buckley and an example of hos the John Birch Society ran immigration from 1933 until the War Refugee Board of the US State Department in 1944.

The important thing to understand about America during the Holocaust is chiseled into the concrete walls of the National Holocaust Memorial facing the Sud Americano de Rugby pitch on 15th Street NW is Eisenhower's statement that he intentionally brought American troops to ALL the concentration camps of German Nazification  As an Army brat, I have been to Dachau. I went to Vietnam to make sure that never happens in America. I didn't expect the Prison Industrial Complex of the War on Drugs to emerge. In 1971, there about 100,000 federal prisoners before the War on Drugs and Supply Side economics. supply Side economics is the systematic Nazification of America. The 1960 agenda on the John Birch Society was the ultimate Nazification of America beginning with the GOP and people who thought Joe McCarthy was an American hero because of his anti-communism.  The Prision Industrial COmplex is result of the success of the John Birch Society's 1960 agenda in subverting the Declaration of Independence. The January 6 Republicans are the leading edge of the Nazification of America begun by William F. Buckley's Sharon Statement, which is the Mein Kompf of  Reaganomics.

And Atlas Shrugged is the template for what has become the January 6 conspiracy. At the end of the novel, John Galt is making the $ign of the Dollar over basically the January 6 Fascist riot at the Capitol . Galt's Gang is celebrating re-writing the US Constitution that installs the State's Rights theory of property, labor and the means of production underwritten by chattel slavery. Property Rights is the essence of the 1960 agenda of the John Birch Society that reflects the conceit that Thomas Jefferson's personal property rights were superior to Sally Hemings''s human rights based on Thomas Paines s Rights of Man. White Supremacy is fully embraced of the conceit that the Rights of Man is divine Truth and the exclusive franchise of The American WASP. That's the essential premise of George Gilder's Wealth and Poverty.

In terms of a new understanding of Hegel, Ken Burn's Holocaust is especially pertinent to our current circumstances in term of immigration and the US State Department until the War Refugee Board was established. Until then, the US State Department was basically being run by the John Birch Society and it's MAGA nation was Charles Lindbergh's America First political movement.

After 1944 and 1960, the adult leadership of both political parties began the de-Nazification of the US State Department and the CIA. After the Army-McCarthy hearings, the Army Chief of Staff began a systematic purge of John Birch Society fellow travelers as part of Eisenhower's budget consistent with his 1956 Presidential Platform. Until 1970, one of the buffers against political Nazification of the military culture was the draft.

William F. Buckley disavowed the John Birch Society's public face precisely because of the national repugnance at raw white supremacists who blocked Jewish immigration. If you review the Buckley-Vidal 1968 food fight, the essence of the John Birch Society is revealed by Buckley's response to Gore's exquisitely accurate characterization of "crypto-Nazi". That is the abiding spirit of the Movement Conservatives who were the gate keepers for the Reagan cult of personality that Trump has hijacked and mixed in with the ammosexuals and Jesus Freaks of the MAGA nation.

As an Eisenhower Republican, Michael Steele and Lix Cheney represent the future of the GOP and the return of the Party of Lincoln in the Oval Office. If you are a Clinton-Biden voter,, a new understanding of Gegel will validate the wisdom of your votes in the past and the wisdom of the 2nd Biden-Harris administration and a Harris-(payer to be named later) in 2028. . And for Steele-Cheney Republicans, the de-Nazification of the GOP begins with flushing out the January 6 Republicans at the mid-terms. Hold your nose and vote (D) in November and for the Steele-Cheney 2024 Presidential Platform in 2024 and 2028 as the Party of Lincoln brand. I mean, if you are a Jack Kemp Republican, you are a Michael Steele Republican and if you are a Barry Goldwater Republican, you are a Liz Cheney Republican. And both of them are rero-Will Rogers Republicans.

Bad vs Good - Electric Guitar

Recently started recording at home again, and there is so much more than plugging in & playing.

[bonnieblue727]

Paid is an American pre-code drama film from 1930.

Plot

Unjustly sent to prison, Mary Turner plots revenge upon those who sent her there - district attorney Demarest and Edward Gilder. Once released she meets Joe Garson,an experienced crook, and together they concoct a breach of promise scam to be perpetrated upon the well-heeled elderly. In an ambitious step, Mary weds her enemy's son Bob Gilder. At the end, she has come to terms with her past and seeks peace of mind rather than revenge. A subplot involves a police-thwarted heist of a painting and the capture of Mary's comrade-in-crime Joe Garson. Cast includes Marie Prevost and Polly Moran as Mary's fellow prison inmates.

Home Studio Recording Mistakes You Might Be Making! Killing your chance of making a hit record!

If you really want to produce music in your own home recording studio but you don't know where to begin hopefully this guide is going to help you out! Once you've got your home studio set up for recording with these 5 Music Production Studio Essentials, there's nothing to stop you and you can actually begin creating music, and avoid the most common mistakes with home studio recording. To save time from the get-go, knowing about these 10 common mistakes people tend to make when first starting out will hopefully mean that you won't make them yourself. Of course, making mistakes is all part of the learning curve towards achieving your goal and some errors are unavoidable - blunders are always part of the process - it's how we learn.

Photo by Jesman fabio  Once you've finished reading you will know about 10 common home studio recording mistakes that people often make and hopefully it will instrument you in actually avoiding making these mistakes yourself! It's always good to know what you're doing in advance and instead of feeling unprepared, you're going to know exactly what to do if you encounter any of these oversights... Here are 10 common home studio recording mistakes you need to check out to make sure that your home music recordings are at a decent level that can be acceptable to a music industry professional: Recording at 16 bit . First of all something to understand is that audio resolution is measured in 'bits' and nowadays we record at 24 bits - the more bits, the greater the dynamic range of soft to loud sounds that your song can have. When CDs were first introduced back in the 1980s, they were only 16-bit. 24-bit dynamic range gives the digital music more quality by allowing more headroom for peaks so there's less risk of 'clipping' and it also enables a greater separation between the recorded audio and the noise floor. In the simplest sense, audio clipping is a form of waveform distortion.MAX MCALLISTER - ProduceLikeAPro.com Whilst producing an audio file in your home recording studio you will want all the headroom you can get which is why 24bit beats 16! More headroom means you can worry less about transient peaks causing clipping distortion, and generally results in a better, more open and natural sound, so it's a good thing. Use 24-bit audio and record at lower levels, that way you don’t have to worry about putting your recording into the red because that is something that can't be fixed later in the process. .

. Not considering the amount of 'room noise' . First and foremost most home studio recording takes place in rooms that aren't exactly acoustically ideal. Sound that might end up in your song isn't always obvious to the naked ear and sometimes unwanted noises can end up in your audio file especially during the early stages of learning to record at home - noise exists everywhere and can be captured or generated at any stage of the production process. Simple things like your PC itself, heaters, air con units, etc. all produce sound, and noise is a troublesome issue for a home recording studio. So your set up is important and during the recording process, you should switch off whatever isn't essential and banish anything noisy as far away as possible! Click here to learn how to soundproof your own home recording studio. . Having the microphone too close to the wall . The next possible oversight when first starting out in your home recording studio is having your microphone too close to the wall. Positioning a microphone can be tricky in any home recording studio situation, particularly if your mic is omnidirectional. Where to place your mic for vocal recordings varies according to your set-up and the size and shape of your room. The wall is a reflective surface so the closer you are to the wall the faster sound is going to come back to your microphone and interfere with your recording so try to stay away from the wall. However, if you have no choice but to be near to a wall you need to put some kind of absorbing material up on the wall closest to where your microphone is so that sound doesn't immediately bounce back into your microphone. Check out this article for some effective soundproofing ideas for your room and it may also be wise to invest in a reflection filter for your mic to stop unwanted sounds getting to it. . Having the microphone level up too high . Nowadays with everything being digital, you don't really need to record so loud. Back in the analog days', people would overload their pre-amps because they enjoyed how it sounded but with digital audio recording, it doesn't sound good, it's just going to cause distortion on your song. Most audio interfaces already come with built-in preamps, and 'gain' is the first control that the microphone signal goes through in a mixer. As a rule of thumb, most producers record usually somewhere around negative 6 DB but it depends on your space and who or what you're recording. If you turn the pre-amp gain up too high whilst recording it will clip, which looks like this: .

So gain is the volume of the input level of the microphone and you need to make sure that's set at the correct setting so your audio waves flow and there's no distortion. Digital clipping sounds terrible! And should always be avoided! . Having the microphone level too low . Depending on what you’re recording, there are three variables; . how loud the sound source isthe microphone distancethe microphone sensitivity . And the same way that having your mic level up too high can result in an imperfect recording, having the mic level too low can also cause problems later down the production road. The trick is to improve the level of signal coming into the mic. If the microphone preamplifier gain control is turned down way too low basically later once you start to add EQ, and compression, etc. and you need to turn that audio up you will hear everything on the noise floor increase too. So just remember everything else the mic picked up will also get louder too. To fully understand the ins and outs of gain control of a microphone preamplifier click here. . Being too close or singing into the wrong side of the microphone . The next mistake that you'll often hear pro producers complaining about when receiving home studio recordings to mix is that they just aren't clear enough. This happens because the vocalist has either recorded too close to the mic or delivered their vocals at the wrong angle! All microphones have a pickup pattern and not singing into the right side or being too close creates sound distortions that happen from overloading the mic from being excessive. If you're not sure which way your mic should be facing or what side you should sing into, read the instructions manual. As a vocalist, you may have to try out many techniques and learn how to position yourself correctly - practice singing or rapping into the mic to discover what works best. The two biggest peeves are whenever a vocalist sings a “p” or “b” sound or any other sound from your mouth that has a quick expulsion of breath through the lips. You will hear them being referred to as "P-Pops" or "plosives"! Then there's also 'sibilance' which is excessive hissing when producing S’s and F’s sounds. This can be minimized by using a pop filter screen so just get a pop filter to place 2-3 inches away from the microphone and reduce those plosives! Or you can make one yourself with a clothes hanger and some tights! Here's an article Microphone Setups – How To Find The Sweet Spot if you want to learn more about getting the perfect vocal recording from your home recording studio. How close you should stand or how far you should be from the mic is up to you, it differs because it will depend on your space and what type of microphone you are using - click here to learn about all the different microphone types. Quick Tip: To minimize the proximity effect you should be looking to place your microphone between 15 and 30 cm (6-12 inches) away from the sound source.

. Not using nice-sounding vocals . Whilst we're on the subject of vocals and vocalists...if you suck at singing and you can't hit the notes you desire for your song perhaps it's best to find some else to do it for you. You can ask around or hire someone who's vocally talented before you record it for others to listen to. Don't put yourself on the song, just for the sake of it because it would be a huge shame and a pretty bad mistake if you are creative and can really make amazing music but then the vocals just kill it! A good song that you've written but let someone who's better sing it has more chance of success. You can record yourself prior to hitting the studio to give the person an idea of what you want? If you have an okay voice then singing lessons and practice will help you learn to perform your songs better. Either improve your own skill or get someone who's voice is their forte to do the vocals for you. . Recording mono sources onto a stereo track . If you plan on creating music from your own home recording studio something you need to wrap your head around is the concept of mono and stereo. Many newbies when starting out in their home studio make the mistake of recording a mono source onto a stereo track. Mono audio means recording onto one channel of audio; one recording with one microphone onto one channel. If you have one microphone, one XLR cable, and you're using one input on your audio interface, you are recording in mono. Stereo tracks need two input sources; both left AND right. Nowadays most music is mixed in stereo, stereo is two channels of audio; left and right. When we listen to music through our headphones or speakers we are hearing mono sound in a stereo environment. Watch this video to understand it all a bit more to ensure you don't make the mistake of recording mono audio onto a stereo track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVgc7v-4n8k Joe Gilder • Home Studio Corner -What's the Difference Between Mono and Stereo? ...or you can read this: The Difference Between Mono and Stereo Sound which will teach you the the difference between mono and stereo audio files, playback, and recording. . Having the hardware buffer size turned up too high . Another mistake people make and it's definitely something to avoid...is having the hardware buffer size turned up too high. Buffer size and latency can affect your recording in your digital audio workstation (DAW). Buffer is to do with latency; buffer size dictates how much latency that you will have when you are recording instruments and vocals. . What is latency? Latency is basically the time that it takes for the audio signal (of whatever it is that you're recording) to travel from the microphone through your interface and then back out to the headphones or your monitor. . Generally, you might hear that the hardware buffer size should be set high for mixing and low for recording - the lower you go the less latency and the higher...the more latency! So there's a time delay there - latency is the time difference between a sound being created and heard. You want to have your hardware buffer set as low as you can possibly handle and many pros will recommend anywhere between 256 and lower. The higher you go, the more latency so you'll get a form of an echoey, delay effect which is why you've got to ensure you've got the correct buffer size setting to avoid latency. . Over-Compression . Compression is the best way to control dynamics, not only does it bring control and keep some instruments in check it makes other elements of the mix tighter and more powerful. Too much compression can make your tracks distort. The two hallmarks of over-compressed vocals are sibilance and pumping. If you're wondering whether you should EQ before or after compression generally, using EQ in front of your compressor produces a warmer, rounder tone, while using EQ after your compressor produces a cleaner, clearer sound - EQ is a massive subject for professional audio engineers.  Keep in mind that a little compression goes a long way.The producer's handbook to mixing audio stories . Click here to check out 'The Animated Guide to Compression' . Of course the only real way to get better at making music in your own home recording studio is just by jumping straight in and doing it because with time and practice comes knowledge and skill - it's inevitable that you will learn and improve. It's definitely important that you get some professional mixing services on your song once you've finished but to avoid any embarrassment you want to get your production to a point that's semi-professional right?
