We are watching the Poirot series again, for the umpteenth time, and my Wife wondered what the small flower holder the he wears on his lapel is called. I think that it is a small Posey holder. I note the video is from 1990. I would think the valuations now would be much higher.
well no I don’t think so, he had seen how the bureau and the us attys had covered for bulger, some of these made it to governor and congress, of course mueller made it all the way up in the ministry of love,
so they can make up third hand accounts like the telephone about the document they can’t even prove existed,
I haven’t seen Neo mention it but Chuck Todd is leaving meet the press. The reason I bring it up is because he mouthed some utter nonsense about the standards he set. I bring that up because I literally heard Chuck on the local NPR program (I listen so you don’t have to) espousing an obvious conspiracy theory about Trump at the start of the pandemic.(Let me know if you want to know what it was.)
The author of this piece doesn’t seem to understand that this has, essentially, already happened.

For many years, I regularly mentioned to my wife how much I had enjoyed visiting Washington DC as a young boy. I was particularly interested in returning since the advent of the Air & Space Museum, which was only a gleam in someone’s eye when I first visited the Smithsonian!
But my desire to visit our nation’s capital has completely gone, especially when I consider the suffering of the political prisoners being held there, and the corruptocrats that hold them.
So I am sure I took her by surprise when I responded to her suggestion that we visit DC the other day. I simply said “No way in hell.”
‘Young people seem more willing to prioritize safety over ensuring robust freedom’
Roughly three in 10 Americans under 30 favor “the government installing surveillance cameras in every household to reduce domestic violence, abuse, and other illegal activity,” according to the results of a new Cato Institute survey.
“We don’t know how much of this preference for security over privacy or freedom is something unique to this generation (a cohort effect) or simply the result of youth (age effect),” Cato reported. “However, there is reason to think part of this is generational.”

‘People Of Interest’ Within Government Suppressed Critical Intelligence Before J6 https://www.zerohedge.com/political/people-interest-within-government-suppressed-critical-intelligence-j6

‘…Now [NOW??!!!] we learn that “people of interest” within the US intelligence community may have suppressed specific information forewarning of violence on that fateful day.

Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) – the lawmaker leading the investigation into security failures leading up to January 6th – said in a recent interview with Just the News that the Capitol Police intelligence unit had received a significant amount of detailed information in the weeks and days leading up to the event, that specific extremist groups planned to commit violence on Jan. 6, 2021.
‘ “We do know that the security failure began with an intelligence failure,” Loudermilk told JTN on Friday. “We have uncovered that there was significant intelligence that was provided to the intelligence division of the Capitol Police, starting in the beginning of December, all the way up through the morning of Jan. 6….’ [Emphasis mine; Barry M.]

Shirehome-

Ray Van Dune,
I hope you reconsider a visit to the nation’s capital. You are correct about political prisoners, but is there any time in our nation’s history when the government wasn’t committing some injustice, at some level? Human nature being what it is, if you only participate in things reflecting perfection you will get very lonely.
The Air and Space Museum is great fun, as is the rest of the Smithsonian and there are many, other fine museums. Even things like Embassy Row with its many different types of architecture and flags is great fun! Somewhat nearby Monticello is well worth a visit to witness Jefferson’s genius displayed in physical form, and nearby Colonial Williamsburg is also well worth a day or two. Yes, you’ll have to plug your ears or hold your tongue when confronted with some revisionist history or woke nonsense, but regardless of the spin vocalized by modern interpreters the magnificent works of the great men and women that built or capital and country are very much on display. I find the Korean war memorial particularly moving, and, of course, the statue of Lincoln in the Lincoln monument… There is much to do and see there and you will find many people there (especially fellow tourists) who are patriotic and respectful.
‘Young people seem more willing to prioritize safety over ensuring robust freedom’
It’s not just young people. The Patriot Act was seemingly embraced by most Americans and certainly made spying on every America easier. It seemed to me obvious that Americans were trading ‘security’ for ‘freedom’.
It’s been a tradeoff longer than that. Anytime there is a threat– no matter how small the actual threat my be, we seem to favor security.
huxley,
Reminds me of my daughter (age 27) who was thrilled to get a discount from State Farm on her auto insurance by installing their drive monitor on her car. I asked her why the hell she would want that, and doesn’t care that someone was watching and recording her every move. She said it was no big deal as she is a good driver. She is, but she completely misses the point of intrusion, and thinks I’m an old paranoid fuddy duddy. It really is a generational thing. They won’t understand until it really bites them.
Sorry, Rufus, but I’m with Ray. I lived in D.C. as a grad student and later when I returned to the States from living in Europe. I enjoyed going back there over many years to visit friends and attend professional conferences, but no more. Not my city; not my capital; not my people. The monuments? They’re for a country that no longer exists and, I fear, cannot be reconstituted (pun intended). Or not in its previous form. It breaks my heart, but there it is.
Just one of how many truckloads of ballots one wonders. IIRC a ‘ballot printing company’ in NY burned about that time also.
“I asked a confidant who is a die-hard Democrat what he agreed on with his party, and he couldn’t answer. What then, did he object to in Republican policy? Again silence.
But he will vote Democrat because Republicans are “mean fascists.” He literally agrees with everything Republicans do but buys the MSM line that Republicans are uncompassionate fascists for doing them.
This is the effect of propaganda. The constant repetition of falsehoods works.”
Physics guy,
I recently got one of those State Farm drivers discount devices, also, because the rates just kept going up. I figure if someone wants to track me and has the know how, they could track my cell phone anyway. If I did not want to be tracked, I could leave the phone at home and leave the device at the house . ? I did think about looking for a different provider for cheaper rates, but I have State Farm for three decades.
2006 Deal or NoDeal rerun. Trump as surprise guest. Audience goes crazy with excitement.
That was before he became a Republican. Same crowd probably voted for Hillary and hate him now.

Just a guess. My insurance is the same. Our loyalty to them is of no value to them.
RE: UFOs–
If you believe Air Force whistle blower David Grusch all the rumors were correct and, “we are not alone!”
Australian investigative Reporter Ross Coulthart, who has covered the UFO issue for many years, is teasing parts of his long interview with a very high level DOD whistleblower–just recently retired Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch–who says that his highest level clearances, positions, and assignments–with the National-Geospatial Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, and on the DOD’s UAP Task Force–gave him access to knowledge about a wide array of secret, very highly classified UFO crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs which have been going on for many decades and, moreover, that the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review, has cleared him to disclose what he is disclosing.
Grusch has told Coulthart that he has already given 11 hours of secret closed door testimony, under oath, to Congress, specifying the retrievals which have been made, the retrieval and reverse engineering programs, their code names, their locations, and the names of those running these rogue programs.
He says that we are definitely “not alone,” and that for many decades elements within the U.S. government have conducted crash retrievals of both parts of and intact vehicles which were created by NHIs, “non-human intelligences,” (note the plural here) and that, sometimes, alien bodies have also been collected.
He alleges that these programs were buried within other highly secret military and contractor programs, and that neither Congress nor the President were informed of the existence these programs, or what they had recovered and discovered, which is why he went with his information to the Intelligence Community Inspector General, and to Congress.
Grusch says that paralleling these clandestine crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs was a deliberate disinformation campaign designed to make people dismiss UFOs as being a crazy illusion and, apparently, in the course of these actions many crimes—according to Coulthart many grave crimes–were committed.*
This story has also just been broken by reporter Leslie Kean (who coauthored the landmark 2017 New York Times story “Glowing Auras and “Black Money”: The Pentagon’s Mysterious UFO Program,” about the ATIP program and Lou Elizondo) and co-author Ralph Blumenthal, reporting on “The Debrief”**
I predict that we will be hearing a lot more from Coulthart, and from and about David Grusch.
Re: Poirot
SHIREHOME, Rich Cook:
Curious what you may have thought of “The ABC Murders” (2018) TV series with John Malkovich as Poirot.
I don’t know the Christie canon nor Suchet’s work as Poirot, but I was intrigued. I sensed it was probably revisionist in some way(s).
I am a Malkovich fan and he genuinely speaks French(!) though I have no idea whether he managed a proper Belgian accent.
RE: UFOs and David Grusch’s information.
According to Air force whistleblower David Grusch, the idea–that for many decades there has been a sort of Cold War going on between various nations of the world, each one trying to find and to retrieve crashed alien vehicles and their technology–that you sometimes see mentioned as a plot element in this or that Science Fiction story–is actually true.
