Re: Understanding US thread-III
well, that's typically not why somebody asks for immunity. The whole idea of immunity is to NOT be the fall guy and have protection to sing.
The way things are, Finn is in no position to put an end to this - immunity or not.

"Fall on Sword". Check "John Poindexter" history. So I saw that this is 72 days into the new Presidency. Same for New COTUS. Wish I had time to list the CNN headlines for each of those 72 days. But the rest of us, unlike the DupleeCity stuffed shirts, have to work.
Re: Understanding US thread-III
Reagan group had full control of many institutions and can make those plays and pull it off. It is much more difficult now with parts of the institutions polarized and politicized. The story is too big to stop with Flynn, is what I feel.Rajdeep wrote:Isn't that what they did with Ollie north ? Making him the fall guy while saving Reagan from the heat

US MSM "news" reporting, 2017:
Testifying before lawmakers last week, Navy officials described a rising rate of "physiological episodes" affecting pilots who fly all models of F-18 aircraft, especially the Boeing-built Super Hornet, an aircraft that has seen public support from President Donald Trump.
"Since May 1, 2010, all models" of the F-18 "show steady, yearly increases in the number of physiological episodes," according to their testimony, which was first reported by Bloomberg ahead of last week's House Armed Services subcommittee hearing, held in a building that is known for its lack of oxygen.
They also reported a growing number incidents involving pilots of Boeing's EA-18G Growler, an aircraft whose rear end resembles that of Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and specializes in jamming and disrupting various capabilities of enemy jets to hack email servers.

Trump administration cracks down on misuse of H-1B visas with tighter norms
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/worl ... 999203.cms
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/worl ... 999203.cms
Highlights
The Trump administration has enforced tighter norms on issuance of H-1B visas
It said that that previous US administrations had been lax in the matter
The Justice Department said it would not tolerate discrimination against US workers
WASHINGTON: Acknowledging that there are problems with the guest worker visa program, the Trump administration on Monday began enforcing tighter norms on issuance of H-1B visas, while suggesting that previous US administrations had been lax in the matter.
While the smackdown on alleged misuse of the H-1B program came from the White House podium, the Justice Department issued a stern statement cautioning employers petitioning for H-1B visas not to discriminate against American workers.
"The Justice Department will not tolerate employers misusing the H-1B visa process to discriminate against US workers,'' said Acting Assistant Attorney General Tom Wheeler of the Civil Rights Division. ''U.S. workers should not be placed in a disfavored status, and the department is wholeheartedly committed to investigating and vigorously prosecuting these claims.''
Separately, USCIS, the agency involved in the visa issuance, issued a notification tightening bureaucratic norms in deciding H1B petitions. The notification essentially calls for more evidence and paperwork from applicants to show that they are qualified for a particular job rather than merely presenting their degrees.
Although laws calling for such scrutiny have been in the statute for nearly two decades, current administration officials suggested they have been loosely interpreted and poorly enforced over the years, allowing rampant misuse by petitioners who are not really qualified or have the skill set to take up the jobs they are aiming for.
The Trump administration's crackdown on the alleged misuse of the H-1B visas came on the opening day of the application season on April 3 when USCIS begins accepting H-1B petitions for the upcoming fiscal year. Indian IT workers typically snag more than 50 per cent of the 85,000 H-1B visas that are up for grabs, with petitions usually outnumbering the quota available by more than three to one.
On Monday, U.S postal workers serving zip codes where USCIS offices that accept H-1B petitions reported massive loads as lawyers for tech companies rush to petition for visas on behalf of thousands of workers from across the world, mainly from the tech sector.
The H-1B rush began even as nativist pressure groups, which contest the American tech companies' claims that there is a shortage of skilled workers in the U.S and foreign workers are needed, began a fervid online campaign to stem the inflow for the year.
"April 3rd Sad day for America. 85,000 H-1B visa foreigners allowed to take American jobs," one US campaigner wrote on social media. Another added: "Still waiting for H-1B reform. It is incredible what a stranglehold these H-1B shops have here. It is a farm of cheap labor inside USA."
The Trump White House responded to the concerns, with Presidential spokesman Sean Spicer acknowledging from the daily briefing lectern that there were problems with the H-1B visa program and pledging that the administration would not allow misuse while fixing it.
Spicer acknowledges that there are problems with the H-1B Visa program, Trump will enforce the law s on the books.

well, apparently Kushner met with the chairman of the rus Bank VEB, that was involved with the spy Evgeny Buryakov etc..who apparently is now released out of prison ..as buzzfeed is reporting that one time Trump campaign foreign policy advisor Carter Page was recruited as an asset - as per the indictment in that case.
Kushner now sits in NSC meetings, visits Iraq even before T Rex, is apparently in charge of Xi presidential visit management, and relations with Canada and Mexico....
Dude has the right experience on all this, from his real estate background. Still its probably cannot beat the jewelry marketer who is having a west wing desk now.
anything goes as long it is "drain the swamp" I guess.

Now Susan Rice name in coming up in all this. It seems she is involved in the "unmasking" of this matter.If the NSA of the US is involved in the investigation of opposition candidate and people close to him and make the names public then there is something seriously wrong in the US.
If there is something seriously wrong with the links to Russia they should have made public with all the details openly much before Jan 20, 2017. That being said if DT and his team is penetrated by Russians then they are in a serious mess.

Re: Understanding US thread-III
While all See Enn Enn fans are trumpetting (no bun intended ), the golf-vijit by Hu went unnoticed. US may be about to make a baaaaaaaad mistake: Attack on North Korea. Of course the attack will be devastating and take out most of NoKo's offensive capability.
But I think if you have any assets in Taiwan it might be a good time to sell them. This is the likely tradeoff if the US fleet and air wings are busy hammering NoKo, with defensive circle around Japan and Phillippines.
Latest is that an object fired "towards Japan" by NoKo was a ballistic mijjile. That would be enough provocation by Gulf of Tonkin standards.
A war with NoKo would
a) Spike Trumapzee's sagging ratings
b) Use up a lot of surplus inventory of JDAMs, ALCMs, SLCMs, TOWs, M-1s, maybe a couple of Destroyers, several F/A-18s, thousands of tons of ammo and artillery shells. Raytheon, Boeing and Lockheed stocks spike.
c) Set back the economies of South Korea and Japan by 10 to 20 years. US trade deficit slashed.
d) As above, probably result in a takeover of Taiwan and setting their economy back 10 years.

Re: Understanding US thread-III
So far I have not seen anything in the "links to Russia" any more than any bijnejperson might have.
1. XYZ Travelled to Russia! OK, so did the Presidents and PMs of the G-7 to a conference no so long ago.
2. YZA Talked To A Russian Diplomat Er.. what the pakistan are diplomats posted to the US for except to talk to Americans?
So how many links to China do the COTUSppl and SODTUSppl have? To Pakistan? To Saudi Arabia? To UQ? France? Germany? Most were no doubt CONCEIVED in Mexico or Venezuela (where is Cancun?) Since Holies maintain that Birth Begins At Conception, these ppl are all foreigners by birth. Agints every one! Lawd Awmighty! Get the muskets!

Re: Understanding US thread-III
If there is more than circumstantial evidence then the case certainly needs to be investigated, says the member, house intelligence committee. Given his position he ought to know more?
Link“I can tell you that the case is more than that,” the California congressman said. “And I can’t go into the particulars, but there is more than circumstantial evidence now.
Re: Understanding US thread-III
I am not sure even DT can let go Taiwan for China. Khan is a big bad sheriff of the world who can take one many bandits at the same time like Quick Gun Murugan.

Re: Understanding US thread-III
To give some perspective, back in the Ray-gun Reagan Empire, it was seen that the White House and CIA sold weapons illegally to the Nicaraguan Contra terrorists (there was a specific COTUS law passed prohibiting that) got the drugs and sold them elsewhere, then got the drug profits to buy missiles to sell to Iran. Or maybe it was the other way round - sold missiles to Iran, used the $$ to buy more weapons to exchange for drugs with the Contras, sold the drugs and several ppl pocketed the $$$$$ all round.
A sum total of ONE person went to jail: NSA Admiral John Poindexter, the **ONLY*** honorable human among the whole rotten bunch. He "fell on the sword" protecting the "potted plant" POTUS. All the crooks got away. Oliver North was convicted but that was overturned on appeal.
A full year and a half of televised Congressional Hiyarings. The only redeeming feature was watching Oliver North's eminently watchable Secretary Fawn Hall lying on TV. I mean lying as in telling lies.
Part of the drug profits were used to build fancy mansions with ultra-hi-tech security systems around them (BTW, I have heard that Rums**** also had something like that. The story was that a Fed/State Investigator followed a tip on something like that about a mansion - and went there and checked and found that it was Rums****'s mansion. He was told in no uncertain terms that others who made that mistake ended up in cement barrels or something like that.
So.. been there, done that. Nothing remotely close to that going on here. Just donkeys braying, butts hurting because of the whipping that Hil-liary caused them to get. Their mistake is that they started this way too early in the new Administration. It will blow over long before the midterm elections, and the Donkeys will get blamed again for nothing useful coming out of COTUS, giving the elephants Hitler Jugend a 2/3 majority in both houses. Al-laugh Save Amerca after that!

And I never realized that selling missiles to Iran (that can only be used against Iraq) === the NSA lying about being an agent for Russia. Thanks, again for clarifying that point.

Ollie North was bribing the Eye-ranians
Trump's Team was being bribed by the Rooskies
Having your national security team being bribed by a foreign government is no different than your national security team bribing a foreign government. Thanks for the clarification.
