Just say Noah

Jaw, meet floor.
Jerry L. Falwell Jr., president of Liberty University, has been asked by President Trump to head up a new task force that will identify changes that should be made to the U.S. Department of Education’s policies and procedures, Mr. Falwell told The Chronicle on Tuesday.
To put this into the proper perspective, a writer named Kevin Roose offers a screencap of "a science textbook I was assigned at his school in 2007."



Voting in two states: Remember when Donald Trump decried people registered to vote in two states? Remember when it came out that Steve Bannon, Steve Mnuchin and Tiffany Trump were registered to vote in two states? Remember how the story suddenly changed, how we were told that multiple-state registration isn't a problem -- actual voting in two states is the problem?

(As though it were possible to move significant numbers of voters across state lines undetected.)

As we've discussed before, Greg Palast has focused on the Crosscheck software, which keeps tabs on people with the same name -- or similar names -- living in different states. This app was used to deny the vote to people of the "wrong" ethnicity, since they were all presumed to be evil vote impersonators. Without Crosscheck, Trump probably would not be president today.

These screencaps (from Palast's twitter feed) prove that Crosscheck nabbed as "dual voters" every person named "Mohammed Mohammed." As it turns out, thousands of people by that name live in this country; most of them have very different middle names. Middle names don't matter: Crosscheck presumes them all to be the same evil, conniving, election-stealing person. No votes for you.

I forget where I read it but Trump apparently initially offered the Sec.Education position to Jerry Falwell Jr. Only when he refused did he seek Bettsy DeVos.

Wikileaks are involving themselves in the French election.
These shits have form: they backed the winner in the US.

b, we are dealing with an international fascist movement which partially -- but ONLY partially -- penetrated our military/intelligence apparat some years ago. People do not recognize this new fascism AS fascism because the average simple-minded person thinks of a fascist as "someone who wears a swastika and wants to kill Jews." As long as the new fascists proclaim their love for Israel (and work with Netanyahu, at least for the time being), they will not have to bear the stigma of the F-word.

Alexander Dugin is the intellectual leader of this international movement. Perhaps it's simplistic to point to one man, but in order to visualize the monster, one must assign a face to that monster.

US. Poland. Israel. Brexit. Soon: France. Greece. Hungary. Germany.

This is the Apocalypse of Our Time.

I missed this about Falwell ...

This month [Dec 2015] the president of Liberty University used the occasion of weekly convocation to urge his students to obtain guns so they could "end those Muslims before they walked in." The students at Liberty cheered.

And on a quiet day in Trumpland, Dear Leader threatened to invade Mexico and told long time ally Australia to go F itself.
