It was a great run. It was.

The real irony of it is that an Irishman shows the end of England.

Well, Tommy, the proof here is that without arms you are subjects not citizens.

    The UK has been dead for decades. They’ve allowed their children to be raped and murdered because they’re afraid of words

    ——————-

    Grooming gang victims have described how police failed to act as paedophile Shahzad ‘Keith’ Khan raked in money selling their bodies to scores of abusers at a property dubbed ‘The Rape House’.

    The Pakistani migrant, who died in 2015 aged 61, had targeted girls in the town since 1981, picking up at least one of his victims from under the noses of the authorities outside a police station on a regular basis, the Mirror reports.

    ——————-

    On March 12, Lauren Southern, an author and anti-Islam activist from Canada whose YouTube channel has nearly half a million followers, tried to enter the UK via Calais. Instead of being admitted, she was escorted into a room by Kent police, who, citing the Terrorism Act, informed her that she had no rights (including the right to remain silent), interrogated her about her political and religious beliefs, asked her what she thought about Islamic and right-wing terrorists, and demanded that she hand over her phone and tell them her access code so they could read her text messages. (She refused.)

    Southern was eventually told that she would be denied entry into the UK because of her participation in a “racist” event the previous month in Luton, where, having noticed that it’s okay to say Jesus was gay, she handed out flyers saying that Allah is gay. This, the Kent police told her, had been an act of “racism.” Two days after her expulsion, Southern was at the European Parliament, where an MEP from Kent, Janice Atkinson, pointed out that as a Canadian, Southern carries a passport in which the Queen of Canada, who is also Queen of the United Kingdom, requests that the holder be permitted free and unimpeded travel. The same valiant British cops who put so much energy into interrogating and intimidating Southern, noted Atkinson, have “allowed 500 jihadis to slip in.”

    I’ve been referring to it as Formerly Great Britain for several years. They seem to have lost their will to survive as a people. They will soon become a subjugated people most likely under islamic rule. Hopefully we will get the nukes out first. They have always been subjects, sometimes with more freedom than other times, but have always had the background of being subject to a monarchy that could remove freedoms at a whim. Allowing themselves to be disarmed completely and subjecting themselves to punishment for protecting themselves is certainly a leading cause of their impending demise.

    Alas they have their own nukes. There exists a gap between the resort to light weapons and nukes with very little in between. In Britain even at the ‘light end’ the subjects have been disarmed and gelded over 70 years by an elite who were well tutored in the ideas behind 1984 !

    Now China has overtaken Britain as the most ‘watched’ society and the Chinese have decided to go ‘Full Orwell’ with facial recognition and a political grading system that rates the ‘reliability’ of its citizens in real time. Britain can’t be far behind. The technology is there for the taking. Public safety will be the British State’s excuse.

    San Antonio. However, the package that exploded, was addressed to Austin. So authorities do believe it is connected with the previous 4 explosions in Austin.

    Well well well, as they say.

    Looks like the lawsuit that attention whore Stormy Daniels has filed has moved to federal court and assigned to Judge S. James Otero. He’s a “W” appointee and I’ve had two cases before him. Libs are celebrating, thinking this is going to be fun. Judge Otero doesn’t like frivolity. I think he’ll dismiss on a 12(b)(6) motion. This lawsuit is garbage.

  25. 29 | March 20, 2018 10:13 am

    @ eaglesoars:

    I’m sorry – I get so used to jargon that it rolls of the tongue. In lieu of Answering the Complaint, Defendant will file what is known as a “12(B)(6)Motion to Dismiss. That designation to the section of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that states a defendant may move to dismiss a case that states no cause of action for which relief can be granted. Essentially, the Court says “your lawsuit is bulls**t”. The thing with 12(b)(6) motions is that the are appellable to the Circuit court. Usually they uphold, but I had this one case that took 10 years to litigate because of appeals. Twice up, twice granted and the third time the 9th Circuit said “oh, hell, no. You’re done.”

    I have a feeling this lawsuit is pretty much just for show. Trump was a private citizen when (and if) these events even took place. I’ve seen a lot of NDA’s in my time, and usually they are ONE-party documents. She was supposedly paid money to shut up and told to sign an NDA. Why would Trump need to sign it?

    @ eaglesoars:

    Once upon a time, in the 1980s, Molycorp’s Mountain Pass bastnasite ore body was the world’s largest producer of Rare Earth Elements (REEs). It’s located on Interstate 15, thirty-five miles northeast of Baker, California, and fifty-five miles southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. This Precambrian carbonatite deposit rests at about 5,000-foot elevation in the Clark Mountains. It is part of a 200-mile-long north/northwest trending geologic terrain ranging from the Nevada border into Joshua Tree National Park on the south.

    The Mountain Pass REE deposit was discovered by three prospectors in 1949. They were exploring lands open to mineral location under the Mining Law, which was signed by President Ulysses Grant in 1872, the same year he created Yellowstone National Park.

    The bastnasite ore body is one of the highest-grade deposits in the world (12% REEs). This ore contains about 50% cerium and 30% lanthanum. Like most REE deposits it contains a small amount of thorium that can give the bastnasite a radioactive signature that most REE deposits carry. The concentration of intrusive carbonatite mineralization is about 7 miles long and 3 miles wide and is bounded by faults (Woyski, 1980).

    Herbert Woodward, James Watkins and “Pop” Simon, the three prospectors, soon found out they did not qualify for the $10,000 bonus that the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) was offering for the discovery of uranium used for weapons and nuclear energy. However, their discovery created a high-tech revolution, making the US the dominant player.

    Under today’s mining regulations, these mining claims would not be valid as there was at the time no market for such a large discovery. The Ninth Circuit Court has ruled that you can’t have too much of a good thing (excess reserves) or the government will take it from you.

    Twenty years ago, warning was given (Geology and Mineral Wealth of the California Transverse Ranges, Preface p. vii ) against locking away so much of the California desert in new national parks and wilderness areas. At that time, REEs were already a strategic element for high-tech and military use. They are now immensely more important. No modern high-tech industry or military can credibly exist without REEs.

    Rare Earth Elements are the group of 15 elements known as lanthanides with atomic numbers 57 through 71. They form the top line of the bottom block of the periodic table. Samarium (atomic number 21) and yttrium (atomic number 39) are also considered as REEs. These elements give unique catalytic, magnetic and luminescent properties. They are now required in the production of modern military hardware and electronic systems.

    Neodymium is a key ingredient in neodymium boron iron super-magnets. These magnets can reduce by 50% the weight of magnets used in electric motors and “pollution-free” electric vehicles. REEs are critical in the manufacture of wind turbines, hybrid electric vehicles, and laser technology including “smart bombs.” This makes them critical to the high-tech revolution and to national defense.

    REEs are essential to the manufacture of many other high-tech products and weapons, such as MRI scanners, cell phones, televisions, and lasers, and are used in the replacement of platinum in catalytic converters and in cracking petroleum into gasoline and other products.

    According to Gene Dewey, former President of Molycorp, the element lanthanum can be used to increase energy efficiency of lighting by up to 50%. If all lights in America were converted to this technology, half of all energy consumed in lighting could be saved.

    having internet problems again?


  42. 46 | March 20, 2018 8:20 pm

    @ doriangrey:

    In the 1990s, Communist China flooded the world with cheap REEs from new discoveries in Mongolia, undercutting Mountain Pass, the only source in the United States. At the same time, Senators Feinstein and Boxer successfully pushed for the California Desert Protection Act (S-21), which surrounded the Mountain Pass Mine with a 1.4-million-acre de facto national park, which created the Mojave National Preserve and numerous wilderness areas, shutting down new exploration and existing mines in one of the most mineral-rich regions of North America.

    In September 1996, Molycorp flushed out their tailing pipeline with fresh water to an evaporation pond in a dry lake across several miles of the new Mojave Preserve on the Nevada border. The pipeline broke, spilling more than 800,000 gallons of fresh water with some slightly radioactive tailings. The wet alluvium was derived from the same Precambrian bedrock where the naturally low-level radioactive bedrock is an order or two of magnitude above normal background occurrences. Molycorp reported this spill, volunteered to scoop up the wet alluvial soil and transfer it to an appropriate dump in drums.

    Even though low-level radon was natural, had been known for many years by the company and monitored by all the government agencies through which they had permits, the EPA took an extreme position. They declared Molycorp a “radiation handler” and issued draconian fines of hundreds of thousands of dollars. A SWAT Team from US Fish and Wildlife raided the mine and held the employees hostage while they seized the company’s records. Molycorp’s lawyers were barred from entering the plant site to council their employees. An “endangered desert tortoise” carapace (shell) was found, even though there was no evidence that it died from anything but natural causes. Molycorp was fined one million dollars!

    A regulatory nightmare evolved. Twenty-nine local, state and federal agencies set up field offices to “solve” the fresh water spill. Molycorp again offered to clean up or scoop up the wet alluvium, but this was forbidden. Gridlock ensued as every agency’s regulations conflicted with every other agency’s regulations.

    America’s premier source of strategic REEs were regulated out of business and 300 employees lost their jobs. For almost fifteen years America has been dependent on the communist Chinese cartel.


  43. 47 | March 20, 2018 8:20 pm

    @ doriangrey:

    A documentary, “Desert Storm Troopers” by American Investigator out of Washington, DC, exposed this regulatory nightmare to several million viewers on television. It was too late to save the Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine, but it did substantially reduce Molycorp’s fines. The fine for the desert tortoise carapace (shell) was reduced to only $50,000.

    Because of these closures and draconian regulations, communist China, potentially a military adversary, now controls 97% of the world’s production of REEs. We have made them a cartel. As a result, they have raised prices dramatically in recent years.

    As reported by the Associated Press in 2013, China raised the price of neodymium, used to make Prius electric motors, from $15 per kilogram to $500. Communist Chinese dysprosium, used on lasers, has gone from $114 per kilogram to $2,830.

    About 10 million acres of the California desert is currently closed to mineral and energy exploration and development in the area surrounding the Mountain Pass Mine, which includes the most promising geologic terrain for future REEs.

    Recently a REE deposit was discovered in Precambrian Joshua Tree terrain in Music Valley. Prior to the California Desert Protection Act, it was outside the park (Evans, J.R, 1982) but was apparently annexed into the expanded Joshua Tree National Park to prevent mining it.

    Mineral reports on Joshua Tree National Monument, now Joshua Tree National Park, have been suppressed. A report titled, “Mines and Mineral Deposits of Riverside County” (circa 1961), which covers the Joshua Tree National Monument was “lost” by the State Printing Office and never printed. Even though the authors reconstructed the report on their own time and resubmitted it to the State Printing Office, the agency claimed there were no funds to print it. One of the authors recently retired from the Bureau of Land Management and found the “lost” Riverside County Report in the BLM archives in Sacramento.

    In 1950, Congress commissioned the US Geological Survey and US Bureau of Mines to inventory the mineral potential of 552,000 acres in Riverside County that it reduced from 825,000 acres to remove the world-class Eagle Mountain iron deposit and several gold Mining Districts from the monument. I found this report in the Suitland, Maryland Annex of the National Archives; however, it was sealed by George Miller (D-CA), the former Chairman of the House Energy and Resource Committee, so the public cannot see it.

    In 1957, the Atomic Energy Commission produced a report on the potential of radioactive minerals in the remaining 552,000 acres of the monument. This probably relates to the rare earth thorium-bearing Joshua Tree terrain. This terrain makes up a large percentage of the park’s bedrock. Recently, a similar xenotime-bearing REE deposit named “Thor” a few miles north of Mountain Pass on the Nevada-California border has been reported by Elissa Resources.

    Colorado River excess flood water stored by the Metropolitan Water District (MWD) in aquifers outside the National Park but derived largely from Joshua Tree National Park bedrock were recently tapped for distribution to southern California. These waters were found to be “too radioactive for human consumption.” All this would suggest that the Precambrian Joshua Tree terrain inside Joshua Tree National Park is prime exploration area for REEs.

    The “bottom line” is that the California desert has real potential to make the US independent of Chinese or any other foreign source of REEs. However, it has become a criminal act to explore our most favorable geologic terrain for discovery and development of new or existing deposits. Despite the 1872 Mining Law, the legal right to exploit deposits for the benefit of citizens and our country has been taken from us. One cannot legally explore a national park, national monument, or wilderness to find new REE deposits. We have the resources, but we do not have access to them.

    Even though it takes on the order of 10 to 20 years to permit a new mine, it took Molycorp more than ten years to reopen an existing mine. Molycorp invested $1.5 billion to revamp mining, environmental and processing facilities at Mountain Pass. In January, 2013, Molycorp was producing on the order of 19,000 metric tons a year, but reductions in REE prices out of China caused that market to crash and Molycorp to file for bankruptcy.

    In June of this year, after China’s severe reductions in REE prices put Molycorp’s Mountain Pass mine out of business, MP Mine Operations LLC placed the winning bid to purchase all of Molycorp’s assets out of bankruptcy for a scant $20.5 million. As you might have guessed, MP Mine Operations is a Chinese-led consortium that includes Chinese rare earths miner Shenghe Resources.

    Locking up the energy and mineral-rich California Desert has deprived America of trillions of dollars in lost economic opportunity and now has become a threat to national security.

    Mineral and energy exploration is not really incompatible with wilderness as vast areas are needed to find those rare economic deposits and only a small area is needed to extract them, but wilderness is incompatible with exploration because you cannot even explore.

    As Vincent McKelvey, former Director of the US Geological Survey explained, “Appraising mineral resources is an emerging science. A final once-and-for-all inventory of any mineral resource is ‘nonsense.’ Mineral reserves and resources are dynamic quantities and must constantly be appraised. As known deposits are exhausted, unknown deposits are discovered, new extractive technologies and new uses are developed, and new geologic knowledge indicates new areas and new environments are favorable for mineral exploration.”

    Long-term economic stability and military survival favors the society with the most diverse, accessible, productive, and secure energy and mineral resource base. Therefore, as much area as possible should remain open perpetually to energy and mineral exploration.

    In the 1970s, the California desert was declared a United Nations “Man in the Biosphere” Reserve. This is part of a United Nations stealth program connected to the Wildlands Project to turn 50% of the US into interconnecting wilderness areas and human exclusion zones and to reduce our population by almost 50% over the next century.

    The Wildlands Project was part of the Biodiversity Treaty that Senator Mitchell (D-Maine) killed during the Clinton Administration. This anti-civilization philosophy appears to be a driving force in locking up our energy and mineral resources. While the Biodiversity Treaty did not pass Congress, it is still being implemented by environmental extremists with the support of the United Nations through the use of national monuments, roadless areas, travel management plans, wilderness areas, National Heritage Sites and other land-use designations. (A full report on the Wildlands Project is available online at http://www.talkingliberty.us)

    The Minerals and Mining Advisory Council (MMAC) has been educating members of Congress on our need for strategic and critical metals and minerals and on the Chinese connection to Molycorp’s demise. MMAC hopes to get several bills passed through Congress this year to reverse this trend and reopen public lands that have been closed off to critical mineral and metal development. (More information on MMAC can be found at http://www.mmacusa.org.)

    got home from night shift this morning, then my neighbor’s truck went through the back wall of his garage and down the steep hill and moved the back wall of his house 2 feet inward and cut the electric line.

    i just got done helping with cleanup and frame-out for supports for both the garage and the house. i’m cold, tired, and sore.

    Breaking: Another Explosion In Austin, 7th Package Bomb

    At least one person was injured Tuesday night in yet another reported package explosion in Austin, Texas, investigators said — just the latest in a string of blasts that have killed at least two people over the past month.

    Tuesday night’s explosion unfolded on West Slaughter Lane and Brodie Lane in southwestern Austin, the county’s EMS tweeted. “Unknown severity of injuries at this time. Avoid the area and expect closures. More to follow.”

    At least five other explosions have rocked the Austin and San Antonio areas. In addition, the FBI said a suspicious package reported at a FedEx distribution center near the Austin airport earlier Tuesday “contained an explosive device.”

    @ eaglesoars:

    http://www.mining.com/mountain-pass-sells-20-5-million/

    The new owner of the Mountain Pass rare earths mine in California is MP Mine Operations LLC – a Chinese-led consortium including rare earths miner Shenghe Resources.

    The mine, which was the only functioning rare earths mine in the US before it went bankrupt in 2015, went up for auction on Wednesday.
    “The eventual sale price was significantly higher than ERP’s original “stalking horse” offer of $1.2 million back in April.”

    MP Mine Operations (MPMO) put in a winning bid of $20.5 million, half a million above the competing consortium made up of ERP Strategic Minerals LLP, Swiss private equity firm Pala Investments and Peak Resources (ASX:PEK), an Australian rare earths company. The losing consortium also includes two creditor groups from the bankruptcy of Molycorp, the mine’s former owner.

    The eventual sale price was significantly higher than ERP’s original “stalking horse” offer of $1.2 million back in April. The deal still faces scrutiny from regulators, who may take issue with foreign ownership of a strategic asset. Rare earths are used in a number of important economic and strategic applications including magnets for green technologies like wind turbines and hybrid cars, aircraft engines and computer hard drives.

    Mountain Pass was the only rare earths mine operating in the United States, before it went bankrupt in 2015 – a victim of low rare earth oxide prices. At the time Molycorp listed $1.7 billion in debt. Through bankruptcy proceedings Molycorp was restructured, allowing it to receive $130 million in debt financing.

    Molycorp then moved Mountain Pass into care and maintenance, while continuing to serve customers through its production facilities in Estonia and China.

    Mountain Pass was expected to be America’s flagship source of rare earths. In 2010 Molycorp sensed an opportunity to capitalize on reduced rare earth oxide exports from China – which supplies about 90 percent of the world’s rare earth minerals – which had caused the prices of REOs to spike. When China subsequently relaxed export rules, however, prices fell, leaving Molycorp to pay the bill for a $1.25 billion state-of-the-art processing facility.

    Hit by lower rare earth prices, Molycorp warned it might not have enough money to remain in business. Three months later, it filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

    One has to seriously ask, what role did the Hillary Clinton State Department play in this. We know that the Clinton’s cozyied up to the Chinese back in the 90’s.

    Ok, don’t know how that sentence got included in the quotation, it was my personal question. Hillary sold America’s Uranium to Russia, did she also sell out REE’s to China? Isn’t this a question that should be answered?

    Fox News Contributor Quits In A Fury — The Network Calls Out His Attempt ‘To Gain Attention’

    Ralph Peters abruptly quit his job as a Fox News strategic analyst on Tuesday. Instead of leaving quietly, the retired Army lieutenant colonel wrote a scathing letter blasting the Trump administration and his former employer for “assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law, while fostering corrosive and unjustified paranoia among viewers.”

    “Fox has degenerated from providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration,” wrote Peters in a letter to his former colleagues at the network, obtained and published by BuzzFeed.

    “Over my decade with Fox, I long was proud of the association. Now I am ashamed,” Peters wrote before launching into an attack on the network’s prime-time hosts.

    “When prime-time hosts–who have never served our country in any capacity–dismiss facts and empirical reality to launch profoundly dishonest assaults on the FBI, the Justice Department, the courts, the intelligence community (in which I served) and, not least, a model public servant and genuine war hero such as Robert Mueller–all the while scaremongering with lurid warnings of ‘deep-state’ machinations– I cannot be part of the same organization, even at a remove. To me, Fox News is now wittingly harming our system of government for profit,” wrote the former Fox News contributor.

    Two students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School have been arrested today for bringing weapons to school. A third student is being evaluated for making online threats.

    The first student, 18-year-old Jordan Salter, was arrested after pulling a two-inch black knife from her bra after a disagreement with another student took place, the Sun Sentinel reported.

    The second student, Gavin Stricker, 17, allegedly brandished a knife on the school bus earlier in the day.

    On top of everything else, a Broward County deputy was placed on administrative leave for allegedly sleeping on the job

    The serial bomber who was targeting the Austin Texas area is dead. Less than an hour after CBS Austin released photographs of the suspect at a Fed-X facility, media began reporting of an officer-involved shooting on I-35 in Round Rock. The officer shooting incident ended with the bomb suspect detonating a device to kill himself.

    Very true. Our socialist (actually covertly communist given her statements as VP of Socialist International Youth Wing) current Prime Minister will be gagging to invite him. I am going to love seeing Trudeau turn up in a flax skirt with a tribal face tatoo

    🙂

    which begs 2 questions: how does mgmt make a decision that they EXPECT will cause a drop in sale and stay employed?; how deep a drop did they consider acceptable?

    And do the stockholders know?

    @ lobo91:

    The last base I was stationed at was Plattsburgh AFB, right across Lake Champlain from Burlington…. When the wind blew off the frozen lake, the wind chill could hit –100, … I had a five man load crew and the two man concept was in place, special weapons being involved… I would send two guys out for ten minutes, five minutes in I would get out of the truck to supervise, then the other two guys in the truck would switch with the first two…. It was ten minutes work, then ten minutes to try to warm up in the truck…. Rinse and repeat until the load was completed…. It was the reason I decided not to re-up, I had planned on being a lifer…. Long story shortened, I told them I was going to tie a snow shovel to the front of my car and drive until someone asked me what it was… Then and only then would I stop to spend the night…

    You do seem where this will go, right? “ He was a hateful white man who was triggered by Trumps hateful
    rhetoric. It’s Trumps fault, everything is Trumps fault!”

    If that were the case, wouldn’t it have made more sense for him to have been bombing stuff while Obama was in charge?

    Not to say that it makes sense in the first place, of course.

    And that’s the point. No matter how outlandish they get it’s all good if it fits the narrative.
    If Obama was subjected to this kind of verbal abuse there would be hysteria.

    Stockholders and management in the modern business climate appear to live in different planets. With only an annual AGM management act as if its their money that they play with rather than other folks who have placed their trust in boards and through them the CEO. Other than selling their stocks there is little that stockholders can actually do in the short term. During the AGM they can attempt to fire boards and even CEOs but that is then and this is now!

    Supposedly Facebook scrubbed his page. If that’s true, I wonder how much liberal tripe was on there.

    Because you know if it was full of radical nazi types of comments (they were statists too, so I’m not calling them radical right), Facebook would have left it long enough for people to get screenshots and archive.

    and nobody knew nuthin’. An entire room devoted to making explosives and 2 roommates knew nuthin’. Family knew nuthin’. People who knew him – nuthin’.

    Anna Chapman’s cover wasn’t as tight as this kid’s.

    Yep, company I work for has upper management in place that is hardcore leftist, or at least hardcore SJW with “diversity” and “environmentally responsible” and “caring member of our community” being used in every pronouncement from the CEO and leadership. Kind of silly given our line of work and the fact lefties are gonna hate us just for who we are anyway.

    Just got an email from Lifelock.

    ————

    Reports from March 20 state that up to 880,000 payment card numbers and related information could’ve been exposed in a data breach. Orbitz, which is owned by Expedia, apparently had two different data disclosures.

    In the first disclosure, an attacker may have accessed customers’ personal information for some purchases made on orbitz.com between Jan. 1, 2016, and June 22, 2016, according to news reports.

    In the second disclosure, customer data from other travel sites that used Orbitz to book travel between Jan. 1, 2016, and Dec. 22, 2016, may have been compromised, according to published reports. One of the affected sites was the American Express site Amextravel.com.

    This is very strange. Hubby just asked me if anyone had been in his shrine (man cave). Nope. And the door is ALWAYS closed, absolutely no dogs ever.

    Books that were sitting on the ottoman are scattered all over the floor.

    bedtime. nite.
