"In war, truth is the first casualty."

Uncle Ted Kennedy died in 2009
He was 77 years old.
He took part in the last remnants
of gentleman's agreements.

The days of mutual understanding and meetings of minds, is over.
The end of handshakes, and winks of understanding.

Election tactics were the exception.
All bets were off.
There was some bruising and scratching to be expected.
Nothing was offered,was too poisonous.
Shake it off, and laugh it off.
That did not last very long.
Democrats decided to cross into Republican territory.
Why be angels, when it meant slaughter?
Like bringing a toothpick to a chainsaw fight!
They took the money.
They played the game.

The Republicans decided to go lower.
They clawed at the soft, exposed belly.
They went for the jugular.

Hillary Clinton walked away with a bad case of windburn.
Trump walked in, as an undead creation.

(ACORN) meets James O’Keefe, who shares a trait of character with Richard Rich, the betrayer of Thomas Moore (1533 A.D)

01/09/2017

Why has the Trump Foundation has been providing funds to James O’Keefe ?

"Trump’s charitable foundation has contributed to James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas, and Trump invited O’Keefe to a presidential debate."

"In the era of “dark money,” as anonymous political donations are often described, Project Veritas has been thriving. According to its federal tax filings, between 2013 and 2014 its budget doubled, from $1.2 million to $2.4 million.

What is "ratfucking," precious ?
Disgraced ex president Nixon knew.

James O'Keefe went too far, and got caught, arrested and punished.

January, 2010, the F.B.I. arrested O’Keefe and three accomplices, two of whom had disguised themselves as telephone repairmen

2010, the FBI arrested O'Keefe and three others for phone tampering at a New Orleans office of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.). He was sentenced to 100 hours of community service and three years of probation and fined $1,500.

Petty victimising. To what purpose ?

Veritas operatives persuaded a staffer at a rally to accept a Canadian citizen’s money in exchange for a Hillary T-shirt—a petty violation of the ban on foreign political contributions.

Evidence

One of the conservative operatives recorded on it by The Undercurrent was Allison Maass, who previously was caught attempting to infiltrate the Senate campaign of Russ Feingold in Wisconsin, as well as the presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton. Maass was also a lead infiltrator during the voter fraud campaign.

Badlands National Park Has Gone Totally Rogue And Started Tweeting Climate Facts


January 24, 2017


http://laist.com/2017/01/24/badlands_twitter_ftw.php

"...after the National Park Service shared tweets comparing attendance at President Donald Trump's inauguration and..."


The executive director for the advocacy group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility, Jeff Ruch, said the orders go beyond what has occurred in prior presidential transitions.

“We’re watching the dark cloud of Mordor extend over federal service,” Ruch said Tuesday, referring to the evil kingdom in the epic fantasy “The Lord of the Rings.”

Ruch noted that key posts at EPA have not yet been filled with Republican appointees, including Trump’s nominee for EPA administrator, Scott Pruitt. That means there are not yet the new senior personnel in place to make decisions.

Tuesday afternoon, the Badlands National Park Twitter account posted four tweets about climate change, and then deleted them hours later.

The tweets follow a kerfuffle on Friday in which the National Park Service Twitter account retweeted an aerial photo of the national mall, pointing out how sparsely attended Prsident Trump’s inauguration was compared to President Obama’s in 2009. As Gizmodo reported, the National Park service was then “ordered by its Washington support office to ‘immediately cease use of government Twitter accounts until further notice.’ ”


Update, Jan. 24, 8:25 p.m.: According to BuzzFeed, the tweets were posted by a former employee who was not authorized to use the account, and Badlands National Park was not told to remove them.

Tuesday, the Twitter account for South Dakota’s Badlands National Park—a subsidiary of the National Park Service—began tweeting out climate change facts, in apparent defiance of the gag order. Someone working for the national park’s social media team went rogue and started posting climate change facts from the National Wildlife Federation’s Web site in 140-character bursts.

Vanity Fair


World Meteorological Organization confirmed that 2016 was the hottest year on record, and the second hottest year in U.S. history surpassing records of 2015 and 2014. Extreme weather, including storms, floods and droughts, are impacting communities at a pace and magnitude far exceeding previous predictions.

More US National Parks appear to have joined a protest against President Trump's policy on climate change.

On Tuesday, tweets by the Badlands National Park account about global warming were deleted, but now others have shared their concerns. Then on Wednesday Redwoods National Park tweeted about climate change and the role of trees as a carbon sink, adding: "More redwoods would mean less #climatechange".

Golden Gate National Park had earlier posted that "2016 was the hottest year on record for the 3rd year in a row", adding a link to a Nasa report on climate change. Death Valley National Park's account, meanwhile, tweeted about Japanese-Americans interned at the park during World War Two. While it made no mention of the president, other Twitter users interpreted the message as an objection to his pledge to ban Muslims from entering the country and to restrict the flow of refugees to the US.

An account called AltUSNatParkService, which describes itself as the "unofficial 'resistance' team" of the US Park Service , has also been set up to more directly protest against the president.
 
Have you heard of sealioning? If you’ve encountered trolls online, there’s a good chance that you’ve come across it.

The term sealioning, coined by David Malki in his webcomic Wondermark, describes someone who pretends to be clueless about an issue in order to waste your time. It can be frustrating to go around in circles with them – and you’ve got better things to do.

Jacqueline Craig called police Dec. 21 to complain that a neighbor had choked her 8-year-old son after the boy allegedly littered. Officer William Martin argued with Craig and detained her and two daughters, including the one who was filming the tense encounter.

The 8 year old child dropped a piece of paper. This resulted in an adult man grabbing an arm, then grabbing the child's neck. The police officer that arrived thought it was perfectly reasonable to assault a child for littering.

The mother was calm when she began. The police officer baited her with the idea that a white man is entitled to hurt a black child. She got upset. He blamed her because of her lack of parenting skills.She was outraged. He got what he wanted. He got the trigger to hurt the woman and her teen daughters.

He had fun, with taking them down and using his taser.
The racist and the officer had a good laugh.
The upset mother and her daughters went to jail.
But it was all recorded on video.
The video was leaked.
Of course, it was made public.
Thee police department had refused to make it public.
One million people watched.
It proved the police officer had lied about everything.

Craig's attorneys Lee Merritt and Jasmine Crockett said Craig was upset and angry that her neighbor had gotten a low-level assault citation and that it had come a month after the incident.


Craig's neighbor, Itamar Vardi, faces a misdemeanor assault charge in Fort Worth municipal court over the Dec. 21 incident.

Officer William Martin, 36, who is white, was captured on video.


“We have four demands,” Merritt told The Root. “Fire and charge Officer Martin with assault, perjury, false arrest and official corruption; charge the neighbor with felony assault of a minor; and drop the charges against the Craig family.”

No parts of the case will be referred to a grand jury, News 8 learned. Initially, the actions of the officer, the Craig family and the neighbor were going to be sent to a grand jury. All of those referrals were withdrawn since no felony-level offenses occurred, according to a county spokesperson.

Multiple protests have been organized in the last month calling for Martin’s firing. The officer was suspended 10 days without pay and returned to work this week. He won't return to his assignment in the Rock Garden neighborhood where the arrests occurred.

The bodycam footage provided by Craig's attorneys also depicts Martin pushing Hymond's arms, which were handcuffed, above her head from behind when she refuses to answer his question. It also shows him pushing another young female who approaches the police car. Those two incidents along with the use of his foot to push the 15-year-old into the police car were cited in a letter from Police Chief Joel Fitzgerald to the city's Civil Service Commission explaining the finding that Martin had used excessive force in the situation and asking for his suspension.

The Fort Worth Police Department has denied media requests to release Martin's bodycam footage.

Martin has returned to work after serving a 10-day suspension that he's appealing with the city's Civil Service Commission.

Craig's attorneys said the family would like to see the officer fired and criminally charged.

If there was no cell phone footage, taken by the daughter, the public never would have seen the police camera footage ?

The lies would have stood, and the truth would have been buried ?
 
The size of an inauguration crowd isn't normally at the top of a new president's agenda, but Donald Trump was apparently so troubled by the optics of a sparse turnout that he pressured the acting director of the National Park Service to find proof that attendance broke records. It didn't, by the way.

The Washington Post reports that on Trump's first morning in office, he called Acting Director Michael T. Reynolds personally to demand more photographs of the crowds on the Mall that would demonstrate the media lied about turnout.

While crowd size is notoriously difficult to calculate, so much so that NPS has stopped giving official numbers, side-by-side images comparing Trump's inauguration to Obama's in 2009 and Metro ridership both clearly show that Trump's claim is false.

Are tweets protected under the Federal Records Act, the same federal law that some accused Hillary Clinton of violating with her secret private email server? And if so, is deleting a tweet a civil offense, or even a crime?

reached out to experts on government transparency to talk about this issue, and more generally what they think Trump's administration means for the availability of public records.

"My short answer is yes, tweets are records. The Federal Records Act is pretty clear," said Nate Jones, director of the FOIA Project at George Washington University's National Security Archive. "But the longer part of that is that records are destroyed all the time [that are protected] under the Federal Records Act—Hillary Clinton is a good example—and no one has ever, that I know of, been prosecuted or punished [under the law]. But technically speaking, yes, deleting a tweet is probably breaking the law."

Hillary Clinton deleted 33,000 emails. I suppose she's a good example, although she was never President.

George W. Bush deleted 22,000,000 emails. I think that is a much better example.
