Abortion is such a moral dilemma. I would never accept the notion of gratuitous abortions, that is a sin and if anyone wants their soul to burn in the fires of iniquity well then, that is their choice. But we can't decide for others what they choose to do. I know of a Catholic couple that chose not to abort the child they knew had Down's Syndrome. That is the highest of moral roads and I sincerely commend them for their courage, but not everyone's choices are so clear and not all have the 'right' stuff. We should be the master's of our own fate.

Abortion is such a moral dilemma. I would never accept the notion of gratuitous abortions, that is a sin and if anyone wants their soul to burn in the fires of iniquity well then, that is their choice.
Given my Catholic upbringing, I used to be anti-abortion, but having finally shed off that indoctrination, I have come to adopt a very different perspective on things over the years. Here in Europe, there is a certain term within which abortion is legal and considered ethical, i.e. the first 12 weeks of the pregnancy. Whether true or not, those of us with a spiritual (but not religious) inclination believe that the soul will not have entered the fetus yet during those first 12 weeks, and that therefore, that which is aborted within that term cannot be considered a human being yet. And for the (entirely non-spiritual) law over here, it basically boils down to the same thing, i.e. that a fetus of not even 12 weeks old does not qualify as a human being just yet.
But we can't decide for others what they choose to do. I know of a Catholic couple that chose not to abort the child they knew had Down's Syndrome. That is the highest of moral roads and I sincerely commend them for their courage, but not everyone's choices are so clear and not all have the 'right' stuff. We should be the master's of our own fate.
Well, aborting a fetus because the child has Down Syndrome would be what I personally consider morally abject, especially if it happens close to or after the first 12 weeks of the pregnancy. Children with Down Syndrome may have special needs, but they are every bit as human as the rest of us ─ even if they do have 47 chromosomes. I therefore personally do not consider Down Syndrome a valid reason for an abortion ─ that reeks too much of eugenics for my taste ─ and I would qualify that under the term "gratuitous", together with all those abortions by career women whose pregnancy comes at an inconvenient time in their career.
Abortion should never be abused as a "get out of jail" card for someone's failure to assume their personal responsibility, and least of all as a form of eugenics. Contraceptives are readily available, and if you're going to have sex without them, then you know that there's a chance at pregnancy. That's how biology works. If you're going to play Russian roulette, then there's a very good chance that you're going to end up on the coroner's table, with no one to blame but yourself. And this responsibility does not just rest on the shoulders of the woman, but also on those of the man. There are all too many men who knock up women and then shrug that off as "not my problem", or worse, force the woman to have an abortion ─ I've known several women who've had abortions, and they all testified that it is a very invasive and very painful procedure.
But that all said, and taking the legally approved deadline of 12 weeks into account, there are plenty of valid and perfectly ethical reasons for abortion, such as when the pregnancy would be the result of rape, or when it jeopardizes the life of the mother, or when the fetus is unequivocally bound to end up as an individual who would be suffering inhumanly in life.
Either way, in my opinion, abortion should remain an ethical issue and should be considered on a case-by-case basis. There is no morality in either a blanket approval of abortions across the board ─ usually from libertines and feminists ─ with no questions asked, nor in any blanket prohibition across the board from ultra-conservatives and religious fanatics. And on account of the latter, I find it highly bizarre that most of the people who vehemently condemn abortion are commonly also the very same people who just as vehemently support the death penalty.
Food for thought. :eyebrows:

I guess it's better to have safe and legal abortions than unsafe and illegal ones, but there is a very serious moral dimension that people don't want to think about.
It is this: it does not matter whether someone is terminated in utero or killed after birth, they're equally gone. Of course it is not the same thing, but the end result, the absence of that person from society is the same. This comes into sharper focus, when you consider the phenomenon known as gendercide. The Economist ran a series of articles about this a few years ago. If you aren't aware of what gendercide is, it is the wholesale abortion of female fetuses in mostly third-world countries, where male children are seen as more valuable for cultural reasons. This is particularly rife in China and India. In the old days, they used to kill female babies right after they were born, but now, with ultrasound and ubiquitous abortions, they don't have to wait that long and female fetuses can be terminated with minimal fuss, before they are even formed. The end result is that hundreds of millions of girls, who would have otherwise been born are now missing from society, just in India and China. Now, it is true that aborting these female fetuses in utero does not carry the same moral dimension as killing a healthy baby girl after birth, but in the big picture it does not matter, because they are missing from this planet just the same. The gender imbalance in Asia is now a very serious issue that threatens to lead to wars and mass unrest in society, because men simply can't find girls to marry and they resort to desperate measures to find a life partner, such as kidnapping, forced marriages or turning to human traffickers who smuggle girls from even poorer countries to sell them to prospective Chinese and Indian husbands.
I also have some sympathy with the view that abortions are encouraged by the ruling elites as a mass human sacrifice to their dark, underworld gods. No war in history has terminated as many human lives as the hundreds of millions of abortions carried out just in the last few decades. I think we should all at least consider the possibility that there is a darker, spiritual agenda behind all this.

I only want to comment on this snippet here ─ I agree that the gendercide phenomenon is an aberration. But if the whole mythology of reincarnation and of souls of whatever origin seeking to incarnate as a human is true ─ and there is some evidence that it would be ─ then that person is not really gone, because they can then always choose to be born as someone else, and somewhere else on this planet. :hmm:
Also, if the abortion is carried out within the legally established term of at most 12 weeks after conception, then there is no "killing in utero", because the soul won't have entered the fetus yet. Or for those who don't believe in the concept of a discarnate soul, then there's the legally accepted moral standard, which states that a fetus of that age is not a human being yet, but merely a biological mass made up of human tissue. :hmm:

Most religions and spiritual traditions maintain that life begins at conception. We don't know if that is accurate, but from a purely logical perspective, it makes sense. The soul may very well be the spark of life that starts the growth of the embryo from a single cell into a multi-cell organism. The truth is, we just don't know.
I certainly agree that there are circumstances when abortion is necessary, even the moral thing to do, but it should be more strictly regulated, to make sure it really is warranted. Too many people are treating abortions as a form of birth control. I had a colleague many years ago who's had three abortions. She complained about how expensive and complicated it was (this was in Ireland, where abortions are actually illegal and going abroad to have one might get you jail time, at least in theory), compared to Germany, where she's had her first two abortions. She was really dim and it never occurred to her apparently to use birth control...

Friend, foe or unknown force flying overhead? Congress should find out
Since 2015, dozens of Navy F-18 fighter jets have encountered unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAPs) — once commonly referred to as UFOs — off the East Coast of the United States, some not far from the nation’s capital. Encounters have been reported by other military aircraft and civilian airliners elsewhere in the U.S. and abroad, too, including videos shot by airline passengers.
What these UAPs were and who was flying them — whether friends, foes or unknown forces — remains a mystery. Yet careful examination of the data inevitably leads to one possible, disturbing conclusion: A potential adversary of the United States has mastered technologies we do not yet understand to achieve capabilities we cannot yet match.
It is long past time for Congress to discover the answers to those questions and to share at least some of its conclusions with the public.
The U.S. government came a large step closer to confirming the reality of UAPs when the U.S. Navy acknowledged in late April that “there have been a number of reports of unauthorized and/or unidentified aircraft entering various military-controlled ranges and designated airspace in recent years.”
But first, members of Congress and the public need to become familiar with the facts.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to gauge the overall level of UAP activity since military personnel rarely report their encounters for fear of damage to their careers. Even when reports are filed, the information generally is ignored because nobody “owns” the UAP issue and the various commands and agencies involved have not shared information on UAPs.
It remains to be seen whether the Navy’s new UAP reporting process will be emulated throughout our massive, almost feudal security apparatus in which the barons sometimes spend more time protecting bureaucratic turf from rivals than protecting U.S. territory from adversaries. Thus, any genuine solution to the UAP issue must address the issue of interagency coordination and collaboration.
The good news is that America already possesses vast sensor networks, ranging from the depths of the oceans to the harsh bleakness of space, capable of collecting the requisite information. All that Congress need do at this juncture is require the secretary of Defense and the director of national intelligence to review the UAP issue and deliver a report providing a comprehensive assessment. This report should include not only an estimate of the situation but a description of the structure and processes required to ensure effective collection and analysis going forward.
The Trump administration should be free to provide the report at whatever level of classification it deems appropriate. One entity with which I am involved — To the Stars Academy (TTSA), an organization of former U.S. intelligence and national security experts analyzing the UAP phenomenon — has placed notional legislative language on its website to facilitate this discussion. While some modest manpower costs might be incurred, the TTSA proposal does not require new Defense Department funding. It also averts the spectacle of public hearings and the attendant risk of injecting partisanship or grandstanding into the process.
Why should Congress act? In the first instance because it is Congress’s job to raise, organize and fund the military. It can hardly do so without being fully aware of the threats we face. Indeed, that is why we have a law requiring written notice to Congress of serious intelligence failures. Most Americans would no doubt agree that our inability to identify scores of mysterious aircraft repeatedly violating restricted U.S. military airspace in recent years is a shocking failure. But there is no need to wrangle over compliance with intelligence oversight laws. The Navy’s recent admissions regarding UAP intrusions provide more than adequate grounds for requiring a written report to Congress.
Perhaps we’ll learn that Russian President Vladimir Putin was not idly boasting when he bragged, more than a decade ago, that Russia’s “newest technical systems will be capable of destroying targets at an intercontinental distance with hypersonic speed and extreme maneuverability.” While it seems unlikely that Russia — or China — has pulled that far ahead of the U.S., there is no reason to leave this to chance. And while the Navy’s announcement seems to eliminate the prospect that these vehicles are secret U.S. military aircraft, perhaps we’ll find that Elon Musk has some amazing new toys.
It is not just that the UAPs that military pilots are encountering are strange — no paint, rivets, wings, antenna, safety lights, transponders or exhaust — but they sometimes are so fast and maneuverable that they defy our understanding of physics. For example, some of these vehicles appear to withstand forces of acceleration far greater than maximum design limits of any man-made aircraft. No wonder some military witnesses — often, pilots who are scientists or engineers themselves — actually lean toward the hypothesis that they are not from this world. Like all good scientists, these pilots recognize that our theories must adjust to facts and new information, however daunting, not the other way around.
If our best minds were brought to bear to study the technology confronting us, much as the Japanese did in the 1850s when confronted by Admiral Perry’s fleet, then unprecedented technological breakthroughs could occur in short order. For example, the fact that these craft do not seem to produce exhaust yet fly vast distances at immense speeds could provide technical solutions to our energy crisis.
Some of America’s finest aviators and air defense personnel are trying to get our attention. They are not panicked — but they are right to be concerned. It seems clear the facts demand further action. In light of the facts, a mere report requirement seems a very modest response to potentially disturbing new national security information.
If UAPs turn out to be toys of Elon Musk’s making, we’ll all breathe a sigh of relief. If they are Russian, we’ll be glad we took action now rather than kicking the can down the road. If we learn that someone else’s more advanced version of our Voyager spacecraft has reached Earth, then this humble measure will forever transform our understanding of the universe and man’s place within it.
By any measure, the effort required to prepare a report for Congress seems to be a bargain.

Russia's support for EU opponents | DW Documentary
For some time, concerns have been growing in Germany and other European Union states that Moscow is clandestinely trying to influence elections and other processes. With the European elections coming up, the issue has taken on a new urgency.
Deutsche Welle and France 24 looked into this issue in a joint investigative report. The trail led through several European cities and revealed that Moscow does, in fact, maintain closer connections to right-wing groups in the West than previously thought. Far-right parties have even received loans from banks with ties to the Kremlin. Indications are that a right-wing activist from Germany is promoting Russian interests in a number of countries. A French ex-soldier is said of have fought alongside pro-Kremlin separatists and then returned home to join the yellow-vest protests. All this points to the possibility that Moscow could be purposely stirring up unrest and supporting far-right groups in European Union countries, especially if these groups follow anti-democratic agendas. A report by Julie Dungelhoeff and Frank Hofmann.

Right-wing populists and the EU | DW Documentary
2019 looks to be a good year for right-wing populists in Europe. Be it Italy, France, Hungary, Poland or Germany, many European countries are experiencing a shift to the right. Right-wing populists are expected to make significant gains in the European Parliament elections this spring.
Right-leaning party representatives have an agenda: they want to dismantle to the European Union. Guido Reil of Germany’s AfD party believes the best way to do that is by going to Brussels. "It is easier to destroy something from the inside than from the outside." Joseph Sauvage, a cafe owner in Denain in northern France, backs Marine Le Pen's Rassemblement National party, because he doesn't want to see people in Denain abandoned. "When the factories closed, the small shops closed. There is nothing here, economically speaking. No work. It’s also changed politically. It used to be communist. But that changed with the end of opportunities for the working class." His view of migration has also changed. "Immigrants are entitled to the same social benefits without ever having worked here." Like Joseph Sauvage, Luca Davide, a member of Italy’s Northern League party, says he's had enough of living in a run-down block in a small city full of foreigners. "We don't need drug dealers, we don't need illegals! We just want to live here in peace and safety." In early February 2018, a right-wing supporter targeted Africans in a drive-by shooting rampage. According to Northern League leader Matteo Salvini, the EU shares "moral responsibility” for the act because it "filled the country with illegal foreigners." Messages like these are met with support. Evidence of just how a state’s society and institutions change when right-wing populists come to power is evident in Hungary. Many judges, organizations that support refugees or human rights, scientists, and journalists speak of massive restrictions in Orban's "illiberal democracy". But a lot of young Hungarians starting to push back.

Youtube Censorship. The Richard Dolan Show with guest Jimmy Church
Youtube's censorship policies have not only become a widely implemented daily occurrence, but the rules governing deplatforming and demonetizing are opaque and at times almost mysterious. Typically, no reasons are given when a content provider gets their knuckles smacked, or if a reason is given, it often makes no sense. Such was the case with internationally known radio personality Jimmy Church, who recently experienced a week-long Youtube Limbo, with reasons still unclear as to why the whole thing started. At least officially so. Some argue that, as a private company, Youtube can do what it wants. Others point out that, as a virtual monopoly, Youtube is more than a mere private company. In any case, welcome to the Kafkaesque world of deplatforming.

I had a college professor years ago who talked about the future outbreak of disease due to the anti-vaccination trend which was just getting steam back then.
His predictions have borne out just like he said.
I feel for the mothers of babies at risk from preventable diseases.
Given the choice, I wouldn't risk full-on disease for my baby. (And I didn't) A chance for autism to be expressed isn't worse, imo.
There may be dangerous ingredients in the vaccines. There is most certainly great danger with disease.

My niece is anti vaccine. It's beyond crazy some of the stuff she believes. None of her children are vaccinated and she has a 6 week old baby :(
I had a college professor years ago who talked about the future outbreak of disease due to the anti-vaccination trend which was just getting steam back then.
His predictions have borne out just like he said.
I feel for the mothers of babies at risk from preventable diseases.
Given the choice, I wouldn't risk full-on disease for my baby. (And I didn't) A chance for autism to be expressed isn't worse, imo.
There may be dangerous ingredients in the vaccines. There is most certainly great danger with disease.
We injest 'dangerous ingredients' on a regular basis in all kinds of ways via air, food, water, and our skin.
The best protections, imo, are healthy pregnancies and healthful diets.
Yours is a voice of reason amongst the hysteria and paranoia within a community that's running amok ...
Being informed is all fine and good, but the anti-vaccine advocates need to settle down a bit ...
This singular issue could end up being the ruin of the online conspiracy forum world ...
If you get my drift.

ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELeMaP8EPAA
"So, it's time for a ghost story. Or two. Hope you enjoy --
THE HOUSE ON CIELO DRIVE – A GHOST STORY
Do I believe in ghosts? Well, if you're talking about spiritual manifestations in the physical world that remain after the body is dead and buried, the answer is yes.
In the 1990s, we were living in Maui but the bi-weekly commute to the east coast to do gigs was time-consuming and expensive, so my wife Deb and I decided on a second residence. We found a grand old (circa 1830) Federal in upstate New York.
The house had a great deal of character, and we soon found out that at least one of the earlier householders was still in residence, so to speak. On many occasions when we were in the dining room or kitchen, we would hear what sounded like footsteps coming from above us on the second story. I'd fling open the door to the second story servants' quarters and dash up the steep, winding staircase, but as soon as I got to the top landing, the sounds would cease.
Several times I saw the legs – just the legs – of a woman dressed in heavy skirts moving swiftly ahead of me up the stairs. This was quite a shock the first time I observed her, and Deb and I soon came to the realization that our new old house might be haunted, but the spirit or whatever was benign and seemed to pose no threat. And after we assured a electrician working on our renovation who had also seen her that she was friendly, we all peacefully co-existed with our “guest” until we sold the place several years later.
This experience was in stark contrast to the first haunted house where I lived for two years, in 1966 and 1967, at 10050 Cielo Drive. Yes, the place that would soon be known as the infamous "Manson Murder House."
Terry Melcher was a staff producer at CBS Records in Hollywood. His mother, Doris Day, had been a staple at CBS for years, but the new era of rock and roll was exploding and Paul Revere and the Raiders was signed to the label as its first rock act. It seemed natural that Terry, as the youngest producer and the same age as me, should be assigned to produce my group.
Terry and I soon became friends, and he told me he had just leased a house in Benedict Canyon. When he asked if I wanted to move in, share the rent, and write songs together, I jumped at the chance.
The house had a million dollar view, a pool, and peaceful, well-sculpted grounds with a rose garden. The interior at first seemed ideal. There was plenty of room with a master and guest bedroom, as well as a spacious living room with a grand piano and a loft. Across a small entry hall was the kitchen, dining room, and a maid's quarters.
But a couple of weeks after I moved in, I began to sense two areas in this idyllic setting that seemed, well, not quite right. The two bedrooms were in the back of the house and although there was a door from the master to the pool, I always took the long way to the pool, out the front door and around to the back.
The master bedroom just felt "wrong" to me somehow. Although it was much larger than my room, it always seemed cold and a little creepy. I know Terry had a hard time feeling comfortable in his room, and took sleeping pills nightly.
The other area in the house that felt weird to me was the entry hall. It always seemed several degrees colder than the main part of the house, even in the summer's heat, and no one ever lingered there.
A month or so after moving in, I learned that there was perhaps a reason for my odd feelings. Rudy Altobelli owned the property and lived in the guest house that was slightly down the hill. He dropped by one afternoon to visit with Terry and me.
After we'd had a glass or two of wine, Rudy asked if we were superstitious, and we both responded, "No." And then he proceeded to tell us the history of the house. It seemed that several Hollywood luminaries had lived there over the years, but the story of some of the early residents really got our attention.
Rudy said that one of the first couples to occupy the house had been newlyweds, and on their wedding night the bride somehow learned that the groom had cheated on her in the recent past. Supposedly after the marriage was consummated and he was asleep, the new lady of the house took a large knife from the kitchen and stabbed him to death in bed. She then put a bullet in her brain using the small "lady's pistol" that he had given her for protection as one of her wedding gifts.
Rudy told us the whole affair had been hushed up and was never talked about because it would reflect negatively on the real estate value. He said that although the femme fatale's spirit still lingered, she probably wouldn't bother two guys -- although he warned that she didn't seem to tolerate beautiful women very well. "As long as you don't let your girlfriends stay over too long, you should be okay," he warned. And then he went back to his residence, leaving us to ponder.
Over the next few months, I began to believe that Rudy was telling the truth, and that the bride was not only still with us, but quite angry, because strange things began to happen.
Except for the odd feeling in Terry's bedroom and the unexplained temperature drop in the front entry, the house seemed fairly neutral most of the time. However, unless we were writing at the piano or listening to music (which we played at ear-splitting levels), Terry and I felt most comfortable hanging out in the rose garden, which was on the opposite side of the house from the master bedroom.
More and more often, I noticed that Terry was taking downers, Valium and Tuinals, during the day and not just to sleep. The 44 magnum I usually kept in a suitcase in my closet, I now slept with under my pillow. I couldn't put my finger on it, but in the back of my mind I felt like I might need protection.
When I had moved into the house, I brought my studio sound system, including Mcintosh amps and JBL monitor speakers, which I installed in the loft. I also brought my telescope, mounted on a tripod, which we placed in the front entryway. The idea was that if we opened one of the front Dutch doors, we could then use the telescope to check out the view of Beverly Hills and the Pacific Ocean in the distance. I think we did this once, and then the scope just became a fixture in the entrance.
One day, about a month after I'd moved in, Terry and I were both seated on the piano bench, working on a tune. We were kicking some lyrics around when, all of a sudden, there was a loud crash from the vicinity of the front door. We both jumped up and found that the telescope had been knocked over.
The tripod was still open and locked in place, no one else was in the house, we had no pets at the time, and the door was shut tight. We talked about it and agreed there was no way it could have fallen over by itself, but somehow it had!
A few weeks later, when I was sound asleep, the stereo system came on at full volume in the middle of the night. I jumped out of bed and ran into the living room to tell Terry to turn it down, but no one was in the room. I shut it off and went to bed.
The next morning, Terry was upset. It seemed he had picked up one of the go-go girls at The Whiskey, and was at a "critical point in the relationship" when the stereo suddenly started blasting at full volume. I told him I thought he had turned it on, but he vehemently denied it, so we were left with another mystery.
This "stereo in the night thing" happened at least two other times that I remember, and since I was on tour about half the time, I might have missed more of the unwelcome events.
One hot summer day at the end of a series of tour dates, I returned to the house when there was a meeting going on in the living room. Dennis Wilson of the Beach Boys was there, and he, Terry, and a prominent attorney were discussing some kind of deal.
So as not to interrupt, I went into the kitchen to get a cold drink. There was a guy I didn't recognize squatting on the slate floor, leaning against the refrigerator. He was dressed in a blue work shirt and jeans and did not seem too happy.
I tried to open the refrigerator door but the guy wouldn't budge. "Excuse me," I said, but he totally ignored me. I tried again. “Sorry, man, but I'm trying to get in the frig!” He didn't move or even look at me. I walked into the living room and asked, "What's with the weird guy in the kitchen?"
Dennis said, "Oh, that's just Charlie...he's okay." But he didn't seem very "okay" to me at the time.
This of course turned out to be Charlie Manson, and he was at the house on at least one other occasion. When I was driving up to the house a couple of weeks later, he was just getting into a limo, which then left. Charlie didn't look like the kind of guy who could or would hire a limousine, so I figured Terry or Dennis must have sent one for him.
When I walked into the house, the vibes were not good, so I figured that particular meeting must not have gone well. Supposedly, Manson was at least at one other meeting at Cielo, but these are the only two times I saw him there. As I came and went from my trips, I would never know who I might encounter when I returned. I met Hendrix there, Mama Cass, John and Michelle, and a lot of "folkies" and blues musicians.
On one return trip, I walked into the house to discover Terry and Candice Bergen making out on the couch like a couple of teenagers. As time went on, I would find Candy there more and more often. It became obvious that this was becoming somewhat serious and I began to feel like the odd man out in my own house.
The lease was up for renewal in a couple of months, so I told Terry that I would feel more comfortable renting my own place, leaving Candy free to move in. In retrospect, this might not have been such a great idea for their relationship. As soon as I moved out and Miss Bergen moved in, she and Terry began having more and more disagreements and fights, which ultimately culminated in Candy moving out.
This left Terry alone in the house, which I don't think he liked very much. Shortly thereafter he sublet the property to Roman Polanski, and moved to his mom's beach house in Malibu.
Did the spirit who Rudy had said didn't like pretty women stir up the tension to evict Candy?
And did that same spirit inspire Susan Atkins or Tex Watson to take a large knife from the kitchen and brutally stab Sharon Tate?
I guess we'll never know for sure, but I can testify to the fact that strange, unexplained events occurred when I was living there. And at it times, I did sense an undeniable foreboding and a feeling of pervasive darkness emanating from the house at 10050 Cielo Drive."

Echo In The Canyon (2019) Official Trailer
Descriptive:
"Echo In The Canyon celebrates the explosion of popular music that came out of LA's Laurel Canyon in the mid-60s as folk went electric and The Byrds, The Beach Boys, e:Buffalo Springfield and The Mamas and the Papas gave birth to the California Sound. It was a moment (1965 to 1967) when bands came to LA to emulate The Beatles and Laurel Canyon emerged as a hotbed of creativity and collaboration for a new generation of musicians who would soon put an indelible stamp on the history of American popular music. Featuring Jakob Dylan, the film explores the beginnings of the Laurel Canyon music scene. Dylan uncovers never-before-heard personal details behind the bands and their songs and how that music continues to inspire today. Echo in the Canyon contains candid conversations and performances with Brian Wilson, Ringo Starr, Michelle Phillips, Eric Clapton, Stephen Stills, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Roger McGuinn and Jackson Browne as well as contemporary musicians they influenced such as Tom Petty (in his very last film interview), Beck, Fiona Apple, Cat Power, Regina Spektor and Norah Jones" ...

On Individuality & Reincarnation
Eckhart Tolle
If individuality is an illusion created by the mind, then who or what reincarnates?
Eckhart suggests that the answer to reincarnation can be found through observation. For example, you can observe reincarnation in yourself many times during the day when you identify with a thought. After all, the moment you completely associate your identity with the thought, you have forgotten your essential nature as consciousness and have incarnated into a thought form.

♪ It's been a year since you left home for higher ground. In the distance I hear a hoot owl ask the only question I have found to be worthy of the sound it makes as it breaks the silence of your old town. These letters are another way to love you.
It takes trouble, and it takes courage to be free. But you 'll find, it you are soft enough, love will hang around for free. And the coldest bed I found does not hold one but it will hold three. I hope you never have to know what that can mean.
It's safe to say I took the long and winding path. And were it not for loving friendships who knows how long I would have lasted. You're young one day but youth is rude and while you watch it walks right past and then...hey...you get your chance to think like me.
When I was young I was in service to my pain. On sunny days you'd find me walking miles to look for rain. And as many times I swapped it all just to hop a moving train. Looking back, it was a most expensive way to get around.
And I found that all the world could love you save for one. And I don't know why it is, but that kiss will be the haunted one. You'll pine and weep and you'll lose good sleep and you'll think your life has come undone, until you learn to turn and spurn that bitter wind.
Because it'll probably be the one you least expect to, who will wager through your storm with you, who will give your fears respect... who will melt your burden down...though you probably don't want that yet, still...the odds fall sweet in favor to an open heart.
Seems to me the tools for being human are wicked crude. They're not so slick and smooth and shiny as some stranger might allude. And while your longest night might test you, you don't be scared of solitude. And remember what is shared is also true.
Because there's a place where the water races wide. And you could be hard pressed (in the muck of time) just trying to reach the other side. You learn to find the only way, or you learn to say you tried. It seems to me a lot of little towns were made that way.
Now while I'm at it...let me tell you about the moon. Because I heard some people talking, looks like we're probably going to have to move there soon. All I know is the face it shows at midnight is not the one it shows at noon. But I bet it's a standing kind of wistful from over there.
In a word, I heard that life's a cactus tree. And should you find a way to break it's skin, won't you have a drink for me. But...if you're standing near a cactus, you're probably where you shouldn't be. Isn't this why you left your home, though you love me.
Now when I imagine life is only time and space...then I guess I've seen the best of it upon your tender, loving face. And the faith that you bestowed in me gives me a solid sense of place. I learn to say...Fire, Water, Earth and Air...I learn to say Fire, Water, Earth and Air...I learn to say Fire, Water, Earth and Air...and I'll see you there. ♪

UFOs have come out of the fringe and into the mainstream ...
By Nick Pope
May 29, 2019
New York Post
Premiered 4 hours ago
In the first episode of "The Basement Office", host Steven Greenstreet discusses recent bombshell reports that have thrust UFOs into the mainstream. These include ongoing revelations coming out of the Pentagon regarding "unidentified aerial phenomena", the Navy's encounters with unidentified craft that "defy physics", and commercial air pilots having close encounters.
This episode features Nick Pope, the "real-life Fox Mulder", who secretly investigated UFOs for the British government during the 1990s while running the "UFO Office" at the UK's Ministry of Defence.
UFOs: “A Threat to the Homeland” | The Basement Office - Ep. 1 | New York Post
24:04 minutes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1135&v=uaSY2Zc0goQ
"You’d have to be living on another planet not to have heard one of the biggest news stories in recent times: After years of denial, it turns out that the US government has a secret program, researching and investigating UFOs.
The conspiracy theorists were right all along.
The story broke in December 2017 and generated unprecedented mainstream media coverage of the UFO phenomenon, which continues to this day, as the story continues to unfold. This coverage includes The Post’s new docu-series “The Basement Office,” which delves into this story as part of a wider investigation of the UFO mystery.
The Pentagon’s secret UFO program was called AATIP — Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. The title cleverly blurred the lines between next-generation aviation threats and the phenomena they were really studying. Maybe as an unintended consequence, but perhaps by design, the cryptic title also kept the program hidden from the numerous people who make Freedom of Information Act requests about “UFOs.” AATIP was set up in 2007, largely on the initiative of the then-Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid. When AATIP’s existence was revealed, Reid tweeted “The truth is out there. Seriously.”
Related revelations and developments came thick and fast. Details were released of multiple events where UFOs have been tracked on radar and chased by military jets, including a November 2004 incident where the USS Nimitz carrier strike group was buzzed by multiple UFOs. Videos of three of these spectacular mid-air encounters have been made public, though many more have yet to be released. The Senate Armed Services Committee investigated the USS Nimitz incident last year and interviewed some of the pilots and radar operators. Also last year, the Defense Intelligence Agency briefed Congress on AATIP’s work.
In a January 9, 2018, letter to John McCain — copied to other senior congressional figures and to key committees — the DIA disclosed that they had researched anti-gravity, warp drives, wormholes and other theoretical physics concepts needed for interstellar travel, as part of an effort to understand what they termed “foreign advanced aerospace weapon threats.” It raised the question “how foreign is foreign?” — did they mean Russia, China, or somewhere considerably farther afield?
In April of this year, the Navy announced they would issue new guidance to pilots who encountered UFOs, following a recent upsurge in “incursions” by “unidentified aircraft.” Then, just last week, The Post secured a stunning admission from the DOD that AATIP investigated “unidentified aerial phenomena” — a phrase they had previously been very careful to avoid. This bombshell revelation was the final proof that this had never been about Russian or Chinese aircraft, missiles and drones. Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) is the accepted government, military and intelligence community term for what the public call UFOs.
When I worked on this issue for the UK’s Ministry of Defence, we used “UAP” in our internal policy discussions, thus avoiding the pop-culture baggage that came with the term “UFO” and reframing the discussion as a defense and national security issue. That’s how those of us who have looked at the phenomenon from within government view it.
UFOs have finally come out of the fringe and into the mainstream. Multiple stories have appeared in major media outlets. There is congressional interest. Pilots, radar operators and intelligence officers involved in these encounters and investigations are going on the record, calling for action. It’s difficult to avoid the conclusion that there’s a bigger picture here. The pace of events is picking up, and we seem to be building up to something. Something is happening. Something new. Something big."
Nick Pope worked for the UK Ministry of Defence for 21 years. From 1991 to 1994, he was posted to a division where his duties included researching and investigating unidentified aerial phenomena.

WATCH: Robert Mueller makes 1st public statement on Russia probe
So what he's actually saying is "There was Russian interference, and I personally do suspect that Trump was in collusion with them, but the US constitution forbade me from investigating a sitting president, so I haven't even investigated him."
Hmmmmm... :hmm:

Hmmmmm... :hmm:
Oh - he investigated him, but (apparently this was never his mandate to do) he is (was) restricted (prohibited) by Department of Justice guidelines from prosecuting a sitting president ... That's for Congress (the House of Representatives) to do, and for the Senate (side) to sit as jurors ... Even if Congress doesn't accept its duty (due to the Republican's control in the Senate) ... Trump could still be charged after he's out of office ... He's not out of the woods yet and he knows it.
The implications of (today's) Mueller public statement will now (and always) shadow Trump's presidency.

Mueller definitely investigated Trump and laid out a great deal of his findings in his 37 indictments.
Remember the speaking indictments, they have nothing to do with the media and everything to do with criminal activities.
He knew his limitations going in and he operated accordingly.
His statement today puts the lie directly to Barr's mouth. As was already evident in the report which is available in tweet form.
Last night Justin Amash gave a speech and he spoke about various findings of Mueller. Some Republican voters who attended were saying that they didn't even know that the report had not exonerated Trump because they heard nothing of the relevant details from the conservative press.
They were kept ignorant by the media that they trusted.
Not that I'm surprised.

I lived in Clovis, NM for about 10 years...went to undergrad school in a neighboring community which coincidentally is very near the Clovis Man dig site...Blackwater Draw. The name Bill Case will show up in some musical references and locations that once featured Buddy Holly. His grandson was my 'stepson' for awhile.

Bidding farewell to Clovis musician
Bill Case loved cars, music 'up to the last breath.'
Bill Case, known for living his life with flair, did the same thing for his death in advance. A side view is shown of his custom-made casket. The top of the casket included his initials and notations of his Air Force service.

CLOVIS — It takes some people decades to figure what they want to do with their life, but that wasn't the case for Clovis musician Bill Case.
"Once he picked up an instrument at 8 years old, he always just had a thing for it," Case's grandson Josh said.
Case, who passed away this week at the age of 87, was well known in Clovis for his performances of classic rock, country, rhythm & blues and jazz music.
Case's passion for music, especially 1950s and 60s music, led him to perform with nearly every Clovis musician you can think of, but in his early years that passion brought him to the Air Force, of all places.
"That's why he joined the military whenever he did because they promised him he would be able to play in the military band," Josh said.
Case's 27 years in the Air Force brought him all over the world from Greenland to Japan where he met his future wife Ren at the commissary, marrying in 1950.
Josh said at the time members of the Air Force were not allowed to bring their Japanese wives back to the states but after numerous letters to his congressman, the couple were allowed to return to the U.S.
Josh said Case's service to his country was very important to him and Case was proud of retiring from the Air Force as a Senior Master Sergeant.
After retiring from the Air Force, Case started to pursue another passion: cars.
In 1975 Case opened Bill Case Auto in Clovis, partly Josh said, because he owned so many cars that he didn't want to insure all of them.
Josh said his grandfather always had a soft spot for red convertibles, with a red 1959 Cadillac being his favorite.
Case's two passions would collide at the car lot as Josh said in the 1980s Case and his band would set up in the back of Bill Case Auto and practice.
Case also purchased, renovated and opened the State Music Theatre in 1995 in order to provide Case and his groups Bill Case and the Velvetones and the Bill Case Combo a place to perform.
"He was charging $5 a person for people to come in and spend the whole evening listening to music and just have a good time," Josh said. "He lost money every time he opened the door but he didn't care because his passion was just people listening to his music and enjoying it."
Case's passion for music was as strong as ever during the final moments of his life. Josh said a few days before Case passed he and his wife were playing music for his grandfather, and though he was not able to talk at the point, Case still started tapping away when he heard a familiar tune.
"Just seeing his hand start beating and even though he wasn't conscious enough to have conversations with people, but you could just tell that music was his passion up to the last breath," Josh said.

Stressed out? Your dog may feel it too, study suggests
NEW YORK (AP) — "When dog owners go through a stressful period, they’re not alone in feeling the pressure — their dogs feel it too, a new study suggests.
Dog owners experiencing long bouts of stress can transfer it to their dogs, scientists report in a study published Thursday in Scientific Reports.
The Swedish researchers focused on 58 people who own border collies or Shetland sheepdogs. They examined hair from the dog owners and their dogs, looking at the concentrations of a hormone called cortisol, a chemical released into the bloodstream and absorbed by hair follicles in response to stress.
Depression, excessive physical exercise and unemployment are just a few examples of stress that can influence the amount of cortisol found in your hair, said Lina Roth of Linkoping University in Sweden.
Roth and her team found that the patterns of cortisol levels in the hair of dog owners closely matched that found in their dogs in both winter and summer months, indicating their stress levels were in sync.
She thinks the owners are influencing the dogs rather than the other way around because several human personality traits appear to affect canine cortisol levels.
The researchers don’t know what causes the synchronization in cortisol levels between humans and their pups. But a hint might lie in the fact that the link is stronger with competitive dogs than in pet pooches.
The bond formed between owner and competitive dogs during training may increase the canines’ emotional reliance on their owners, she said. That in turn could increase the degree of synchronization.
But why do people influence their dogs rather than vice versa? Perhaps people are “a more central part of the dog’s life, whereas we humans also have other social networks,” Roth said in an email.
The study results are no surprise, said Alicia Buttner, director of animal behavior with the Nebraska Humane Society in Omaha.
“New evidence is continually emerging, showing that people and their dogs have incredibly close bonds that resemble the ones that parents share with their children,” she said in an email.
But she said there isn’t enough evidence to assume that the influence goes only one way; it may go both ways.
“It’s not just as simple as owner gets stressed, dog gets stressed,” she said.
Many other factors could affect a person or dog’s stress levels and possibly even dampen them, she said.
Buttner said cortisol levels don’t necessarily indicate “bad” stress. They instead can indicate a good experience like getting ready to go for a walk, she said.
Roth and her team plan to investigate whether other dog breeds will react to their owners the same way.
In the meantime, she offered advice to minimize how much stress dog owners may be causing their pets. Dogs that play more show fewer signs of being stressed, she said.
So “just be with your dog and have fun,” Roth said."

I totally agree with this. When I lost my Great Pyrenees it was almost as hard as the day I lost my Mother. I don't know if that makes me sound weird but we were closely bonded. He knew if I was having a bad day and was always by my side. I still have a hard time even looking at pictures of him without becoming an emotional mess.

Watch Johnny Depp Sing David Bowie’s ‘Heroes’ With Hollywood Vampires
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=214&v=U8VnYZLWr_s
Johnny Depp and his bandmates in the supergroup Hollywood Vampires, which includes Alice Cooper and Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, holed up in Berlin’s Hansa Studios last year to record a cover of one of David Bowie’s biggest hits, “Heroes.” The Thin White Duke himself had cut that very track there a little more than four decades prior.
Video of the Vampires’ session, which took place on June 5th, 2018, shows Cooper entering the studio as Perry works an eBow to approximate the soaring feedback Robert Fripp recorded for Bowie in the summer of ’77. The band kicks in, and Depp sings the song’s iconic opening “I … ” with his mohawk pulled back and a feather hanging in the back. You can see sweat on his face before it cuts to live-performance footage of the band and tour-bus footage. Cooper stands beside Depp deferentially in the studio and plays maracas onstage.
Although the band started out as a covers group, paying tribute to Cooper’s “dead drunk friends,” they’ve expanded their repertoire into originals on Rise; “Heroes” is one of the few covers on the album. It released the original song “The Boogieman Surprise” last month and “Who’s Laughing Now” in April.
Blabbermouth, which premiered the video, reports that the rest of the band on Rise includes Alice Cooper drummer Glen Sobel, the Cult’s bassist Chris Wyse and Aerosmith keyboardist Buck Johnson. Cooper’s guitar player Tommy Henricksen, who plays guitar in the Vampires, co-produced the LP with the band.
Bowie co-wrote “Heroes” with Brian Eno and recorded it in July and August of 1977. According to legend, the lyrics were inspired by Bowie seeing producer Tony Visconti and backup singer Antonia Maaß kissing by the Berlin wall; Bowie never revealed the lovers identities, Visconti says, because he was having an affair with Maaß. “I thought, of all the places to meet in Berlin, why pick a bench underneath a guard turret on the Wall?” Bowie said of the inspiration.

A still from HBO's "Chernobyl" ...
https://thenypost.files.wordpress.com/2019/06/russia-to-make-its-own-chernobyl-show.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&w=1236&h=820&crop=1
Russia to create its own Chernobyl series that blames CIA for disaster
Russian TV is offering its own patriotic take on the 1986 Chernobyl disaster — one that features a heroic effort to thwart an American spy who has infiltrated the doomed nuke plant.
The Russian spin comes in response to HBO’s well-received miniseries “Chernobyl,” which depicted the aftermath of the explosion in then-Soviet Ukraine.
The series follows KGB officers tracking the CIA agen, and uncovering his espionage efforts, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
There’s no air date for the series but it’ll be broadcast on state-funded station NTV, known for its pro-Kremlin programming. It received 30 million ($460,000) in funding from the culture ministry, the outlet said.
Director Alexei Muradov justified the story by citing a conspiracy theory that says an enemy intelligence agent was on site on the day of the explosion, the Moscow Times reported.
“One theory holds that Americans had infiltrated the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and many historians do not deny that, on the day of the explosion, an agent of the enemy’s intelligence services was present at the station,” the director said, AV Club reported

My response ...
Anyone who has ever worked at a supposed U. S. government secret facility (and i have) know that since the end of WW2 - 'contracting' (and sub contracting) has been the model used by the military/corporate industrial complex - in getting around public/government oversight - especially concerning the subject of UFO's and alien lifeforms ...
Note - remember just prior to the 9/11 attack on the U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld (purposely or not) burped out and said in a press conference that he had found a $2.3 trillion gap in funding, 25% of the military’s budget. These funds were never accounted for in the military’s defense budget ... Apparently this un-tracked and unaccountable military funding has been ongoing for many years ... And this appears to have become acceptable during WWII and the Cold War era when secret funding was funneled to projects such as the Manhattan Project ... But apparently when the military chose to use this technology to end World War II, they chose to keep other elements secret and remain private - even out of the jurisdiction of the President.
The speculative word in the Ufology community - is that in Utah’s west desert near Dugway Proving Ground (which is reportedly mostly underground - is the new Area 51), where all if not most of this is now ocurring - where secret UFOs technology is allegedly being developed.
And please also note, i don't expect anyone (including the likes of Richard Dolan) will ever be able to puncture this very suspicious but still very speculative (and evasive) secret program - Especially in ever satisfying the likes of those within the conspiracy forum community.

Medical marijuana gets backing from Church of England, Financial Times says ...
"Even religious bodies are seeing the light when it comes to cannabis. The Church of England will relax a self-imposed ban and consider investments in medical marijuana, the Financial Times reported.
The Church Commissioners for England will still exclude recreational cannabis producers, the FT said, citing Edward Mason, the head of responsible investment at the entity that oversees the church’s 12.6 billion pound (US$16 billion) investment portfolio.
Cannabis is seeing an investment boom as restrictions on its use ease around the world. In the U.S., Illinois recently became the 11th state to legalize recreational marijuana, and pot is now legal in Canada. The market for legal cannabis was worth almost $11 billion globally in 2018, and is expected to reach at least $50 billion by 2029, according to Jefferies Financial Group equity research, the FT reported (https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/medical-marijuana-gets-backing-from-church-of-england-ft-says-1.1270555)."

The Fed chairman, Jerome Powell, was the target of a tirade by Donald Trump this week as
the President responded to a slowdown in job growth.
A Weakening Economy May Be the Biggest Threat to Donald Trump
By John Cassidy
June 8, 2019
"On Friday morning, the Labor Department released its jobs report for May, which showed a sharp slowdown in hiring. Donald Trump was still in Ireland, preparing to fly back to Washington. He didn’t immediately react to the news that employers created only seventy-five thousand jobs last month, which wasn’t surprising. Trump hates acknowledging negative developments that occur on his watch, and he is surely aware that a slump in the economy could prove disastrous for his reëlection campaign.
Despite all the troubles and strife of his first two and a half years in office, he has been able to point to strong economic growth and a very low unemployment rate as reasons why Americans who aren’t enamored of him personally should support him. If that rationale is removed, what does Trump have left? A weakening economy could well be the biggest political threat he faces.
One month of weak jobs data doesn’t translate into a slump, of course. Despite Friday’s report, which also showed a modest fall in wage growth, most economists think that the economy is still in decent shape. When the National Association for Business Economics surveyed more than fifty economic forecasters recently, the average prediction was that the economy would grow by 2.6 per cent this year and 2.1 per cent in 2020. Such an outcome would represent a slowdown from the 2.9 per cent growth recorded in 2018, but a relatively modest slowdown that is unlikely to present very much of a political threat to Trump. (He’d still have to explain why G.D.P. growth hadn’t reached his target of four per cent, of course.)
However, even before Friday’s employment report, there were worrying signs of softness in other important economic indicators, particularly capital spending by businesses, and also evidence to suggest that this weakness was tied to Trump’s trade wars. As I noted in a column earlier this week about the resignation of Kevin Hassett, the chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, business surveys show that Trump’s tariff threats, particularly those directed at China, are creating a lot of uncertainty, which is reflected in businesses taking a cautious approach to spending and hiring.
The Federal Reserve, too, is watching anxiously. “We do not know how or when these issues will be resolved,” its chairman, Jerome Powell, noted in a speech on Tuesday. Powell added that the Fed was “closely monitoring the implications of these developments for the U.S. economic outlook and, as always, we will act as appropriate to sustain the expansion”—a statement which Wall Street took to mean that a cut in interest rates is now a live possibility.
To some people, particularly political foes of Trump, Powell’s statement made it look as if the Fed might be preparing to bail out an irresponsible President. But Powell appears to have been responding primarily to developments in the bond market, where yields on long-term government securities have fallen precipitously in recent weeks—an indication that investors think the economy is considerably weaker than it looks. Although the Fed relies on a wide range of data in setting interest rates, the signal from the market is “something I definitely take into account,” John Williams, the president of the New York Fed and a close ally of Powell, said at the Council on Foreign Relations on Thursday.
In any case, Powell’s verbal intervention didn’t win him plaudits from Trump, who for months has been tearing into him and his colleagues for raising interest rates too aggressively last year. During an interview with Fox News’s Laura Ingraham, in Normandy, France, on Thursday, Trump again targeted Powell, saying, “Who thought he was going to raise interest rates? If we didn’t have that, we’d be at 5.2”—per cent G.D.P. growth—“and the stock market would be up ten thousand points more.”
Trump plucked those figures out of nowhere, of course, and they are completely unrealistic. The U.S. economy hasn’t grown at an annual rate of five per cent for thirty-five years, and even if the Fed had stood pat in the second half of last year, when it raised rates twice, the rate of growth now wouldn’t be anywhere near that figure. It’s equally ridiculous to suggest that, but for Powell and his colleagues, the Dow could be standing at thirty-five thousand.
In fact, the main thing that investors have been fretting about isn’t higher interest rates: it’s the trade war that Trump himself has created. Much as the President would like to shift the blame, the timing of recent movements in the stock market is unambiguous. At the end of April, the S. & P. 500 stock index hit an all-time high. In May, Trump threatened to impose broader tariffs on China and Mexico, and the Dow fell more than six per cent on the month. It was only after Powell signalled that the Fed may step in to support the economy that stocks rebounded.
Trump won’t let reality interfere with his messaging, of course. Having already singled out Powell as his whipping boy for anything that goes wrong in the economy, he is sure to escalate his attacks on the Fed if signs of weakness in the labor market and elsewhere persist. That leaves Powell in a public-relations bind. If the Fed doesn’t move rapidly to cut rates, Trump will assail him. If the Fed does act quickly to try to prolong the economic expansion, it will be accused of caving in to a bully in the Oval Office.
For now, the central bank seems likely to keep rates on hold, to give it time for further assessment. The next meeting of the Fed’s policymaking committee will be held on June 18th and 19th. That’s about a week before Trump is due to meet Xi Jinping, the Chinese President, at a G-20 summit in Japan. The Fed, with its eye on trade tensions, seems unlikely to make any big changes before it sees whether that sitdown prompts Trump to abandon (or postpone, at least) his threat to expand greatly his existing tariffs on Chinese goods. Earlier this week, he said he’d reach a decision after the meeting.
With the 2020 election seventeen months away, Trump now has a key decision to make: How far is he willing to push his trade wars even as the economy and financial markets are starting to emit some distress signals?"

Hi guys,
I thought to make a thread about a fundraiser for my dog's medical bills. Last friday things got to the point with my dog's peeing problems that I had to take him to the vet because he was in so much pain and couldn't pee well anymore. The vet told me that he would have to be operated for difficult bladder stones or otherwise he would need to be put down. I took him the same night to a private animal hospital where he was operated and the good thing is that he is fine now and recovering fast! That day was just a really stressful one for me and actually the whole week was, imagine if you're being told if you'd like to have your best friend saved or not while seeing him suffer.
The medical costs were quite high and we don't have insurance for him anymore, the company where I had the insurance for him stopped giving it after he turned seven years old, so basically it was seven years of paying for just for nothing, because my dog never really had any big medical issues. Never had to take him to hospital before besides for standard medical checks. Also my income with my partner is low at the moment and we don't have savings for issues like this.
Normally I don't like to ask for help, let alone for money as I dislike the feeling of owing anything to anyone, but this time it's a bit different thing since it's about my best buddy Paavo who's been with me for the last ten years ever since he was puppy. I actually got him almost exactly 10 years ago in June 2009. I could tell how much he has changed my life for the better as any dog or pet lover surely would know and understand, I owe him a lot.
I might feel compelled to take this thread down later, but if you feel like donating then you can do that here:

A proposed extradition law has resulted in some of the largest protests seen in Hong Kong.
The Chinese Ambassador to the UK, Liu Xiaoming, tells Mark Urban that China is upholding the principle of "one country, two systems" and that the British government has "no right to interfere with citizens of Hong Kong." Violent clashes have broken out in Hong Kong amid protests against a controversial extradition bill. Lawmakers have postponed the second reading of the bill, which would make it easier to send people to mainland China to stand trial. Our international editor Gabriel Gatehouse reports from Hong Kong.

10 Psychological Reasons Why People Join Cults (https://listverse.com/2017/04/04/10-psychological-reasons-why-people-join-cults/)
The Empty Promise of Boris Johnson
"The man expected to be Britain’s next Prime Minister makes people in power, including himself, appear ridiculous, but that doesn’t mean he’d dream of handing power to anybody else."
By Sam Knight
https://media.newyorker.com/photos/5d01693fa2f348753cbfd976/master/w_1626,c_limit/190624_r34508.jpg
"In the spring of 1989, the Daily Telegraph sent Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson to Brussels to cover what was then the European Economic Community. Johnson, who was twenty-four, knew the city well. His father, Stanley, had been one of the first British bureaucrats appointed to work at the European Commission after the United Kingdom joined the bloc, in 1973. Johnson, his parents, and his three younger siblings moved to Belgium when he was nine years old, joining a sleepy community of expats. Johnson was a clever boy. He learned to speak French without an accent.
When Johnson returned, his father invited an experienced Brussels correspondent, Geoff Meade, to lunch at the family’s large house near Waterloo. Meade and his wife, Sandra, were having drinks when a taxi pulled up. “We hadn’t been led to expect anyone else so it was a surprise to see this outstandingly blond chap jump out in the loudest pair of Bermuda shorts possible. I’ll never forget it,” Meade recounted in “Just Boris: A Tale of Blond Ambition,” Sonia Purnell’s haunting biography, from 2011, of the man expected to be Britain’s next Prime Minister. “But it became clear over lunch that I had been invited there as the established hand to meet and help Boris.”
Purnell served as Johnson’s deputy in the Telegraph’s Brussels bureau, and her portrait of the politician as a young reporter makes an indelible impression. At first, Johnson was lost. He had been fired from his first job in journalism, at the Times of London, for making up a quote about Edward II’s relations with a boy, which he had attributed to his godfather, an Oxford don. Johnson was disorganized and had few reporting skills. But he had a knack for comedy and a genius for spotting a counter-narrative. In a collection of his journalism, “Lend Me Your Ears” (2003), Johnson describes a free-market approach to trying out opinions: “There will always be someone ready to buck the conventional wisdom, ready to buy when the market is low.” Johnson realized that conventional British reporting on the procedures of the E.E.C. (which was renamed the European Union in 1993) was reverential, accurate, and dull. He went the other way.
Six months after he arrived in Brussels, Johnson began to churn out sly, exaggerated stories that cast the European project as bureaucratically insane. Snails were to be designated as fish, he wrote. Berlaymont, the European Commission’s headquarters, was to be blown up. Condom sizes were to be standardized. “The E.C. has dismissed Italian plans for a maximum condom width of fifty-four millimetres,” Johnson reported in the Telegraph on May 8, 1991. “M Willy Helin, spokesman for the commission’s industrial standards division, said: ‘This is a very serious business.’ ”
Johnson’s stories caused a sensation. His British rivals were ordered to find and replicate them, which they failed to do, because there was rarely anything there. He was a figure, almost, of self-parody. He drove a battered red sports car. His clothes had holes in them. He turned up late at press conferences and spoke deliberately bad French. European officials had no idea what to do with him. “We answer his attacks,” one said. “But the problem is that our answers are not funny.” On one occasion, as Johnson made yet another grand, dishevelled appearance at a news briefing, a French reporter asked, “Qui est ce monstre?” Johnson rapidly became a darling of the Conservative Party’s Euroskeptic right, and a favorite of Margaret Thatcher’s. “Everything I wrote from Brussels I found was sort of chucking these rocks over the garden wall and I listened to this amazing crash from the greenhouse next door over in England,” Johnson told the BBC’s “Desert Island Discs,” in 2005. “It really gave me this, I suppose, rather weird sense of power.”
It is hard not to discern a psychological motive in Johnson’s assault on the E.U. machine. As his siblings have pointed out, Brussels had been a deeply unhappy place for him as a child. The Johnsons had lived in a big house in the suburbs, next to a forest. According to Purnell, Rachel Johnson, Boris’s younger sister and also a prominent journalist, has compared life at the time to “The Ice Storm,” the Rick Moody novel about a disintegrating family. “There was the same bleakness, the disconnection,” she has said. Stanley had affairs, and the marriage slowly fell apart. When Johnson was ten, his mother, Charlotte, suffered a breakdown and was hospitalized for nine months. Boris and Rachel were sent to boarding school. When Johnson came back to Brussels, he had a wife, Allegra Mostyn-Owen, whom he had met at Oxford. The couple lived in an unprepossessing apartment above a dentist named Goris. Johnson disappeared into his work at the Telegraph. “I used to get the paper—yesterday’s news—and there’s his byline in fucking Zagreb,” Mostyn-Owen later recalled. “You get past caring and you start drinking malt whisky.” Mostyn-Owen feared that she would crack up, as Johnson’s mother had. (The couple divorced in 1992; Johnson married his second wife, Marina Wheeler, whom he had known as a child in Brussels, twelve days later.) In the Telegraph’s offices, which overlooked an elegant square, Johnson would lock his door and shout obscenities to himself, while he worked himself up to write each story. “This bizarre ritual, to those who witnessed it, was an insight into the torrent of focus and drive that lies beneath Boris’s affable exterior,” Purnell writes.
In 1994, Johnson was recalled to become the Telegraph’s chief political columnist. He was a newspaper star. But his reporting was no longer credible. “He was by then a caricature, and he had to go,” James Landale, then a reporter at the Times of London, who is now the BBC’s diplomatic correspondent, told Purnell. To mark Johnson’s departure from Brussels, Landale wrote a poem, based on Hilaire Belloc’s “Matilda,” in which “Boris told such dreadful lies / It made one gasp and stretch one’s eyes.” When Johnson returned to London, he confessed to an editorial writer at the Telegraph that he had no political opinions. “You must have some,” the colleague reassured him. “Well, I’m against Europe and against capital punishment,” Johnson said. “I’m sure you’ll make something out of that,” came the reply.
To the British public, Johnson is an immediately recognizable figure in the culture. He is Bertie Wooster. His hair is a mess. He falls into ponds. You can find yourself feeling sympathetic toward him, because of an intimation of vulnerability and a sense that he is fundamentally unserious. “Boris has the capacity to lose his way in a sentence, like a child in a nativity play. You want him to succeed, and when he does you share in his triumph,” Michael Gove, Johnson’s old friend from Oxford, fellow-Brexiteer, and political rival, has said. In “Boris: The Adventures of Boris Johnson,” Andrew Gimson, a former colleague of Johnson’s, describes his ability—which is almost unique among contemporary British politicians—to cheer people up. “While many politicians have the urge to perfect society, Boris believes in the imperfectability of mankind, and especially of himself,” Gimson writes. (The biography was published in 2006 and updated in 2016.) “He does not seek to attain impossibly high standards, nor does he impose them on others.”
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Johnson is not as English as he seems. He was born in New York. His electric-blond hair is an inheritance from his great-grandfather Ali Kemal, an outspoken journalist from northwest Turkey, who served as Interior Minister in the last days of the Ottoman Empire. In 1909, Kemal’s first wife, Winifred Johnson, died in childbirth in England, leaving two children to be raised by her mother. Johnson’s grandfather Osman, who was known as Wilfred, left school at thirteen and went to seek his fortune as a farmer in Egypt. During the Second World War, Wilfred flew for the Royal Air Force and crashed a plane while trying to do a trick for his wife, a minor European aristocrat named Irène Williams, who was watching from the ground. Wilfred was badly hurt. “This was later spoken of by the family as a great joke,” Gimson writes.
Boris Johnson’s upbringing was privileged but contingent. Stanley moved jobs. His mother was fragile. It was important to win but vulgar to prepare. Performing plays at Eton, Johnson delighted the other boys by forgetting his lines. Once, when playing Shakespeare’s Richard III, he pasted pages of the script to pillars in the school’s cloisters and spent the performance running between them. He was slapdash and constantly late, and awaited a great future. “I think he honestly believes it is churlish of us not to regard him as an exception, one who should be free of the network of obligation which binds everyone else,” Johnson’s housemaster, Martin Hammond, wrote in the spring of 1982, when Johnson was seventeen. Despite his fecklessness, Johnson expected to be made the Captain of School, the head of the scholars’ house at Eton, and duly was. He looked the part. He sang the hymns. “In an odd way, he likes an ordered world, not a random world,” Hammond told Gimson. “Boris was not a rebel at all. He was a fully signed up member of the tribe.”
It was the same at Oxford, where Johnson joined the Bullingdon Club, the university’s most exclusive all-male dining club, and sought the presidency of the Oxford Union, its debating society. Johnson was brilliant on his feet. Anything could be played for laughs. Johnson became the union president by pretending to support the Social Democratic Party, which was fashionable at the time, and switching to the Conservatives when he got the job. Frank Luntz, an American pollster, was a contemporary, and he warned Johnson not to do it. “This is a very small country and it’s not right,” Luntz said. “It will come back to haunt you.” But it didn’t, because—who cares? In 1988, Johnson contributed a chapter on student politics to “The Oxford Myth,” a book of essays edited by his sister, in which he emphasized the importance of cultivating adoring followers. “The terrible art of the candidate is to coddle the self-deception of the stooge,” Johnson wrote. In 2003, as an actual politician, Johnson disavowed this insight into his behavior as a young man: “I think my essay remains the locus classicus of the English genre of bogus self-deprecation.”
This is the Johnsonian way. The lies, the performative phrases, the layers of persona—they accrete, one on top of another, flecked here and there with Latin, until everyone has forgotten what the big deal was. In Brussels, Johnson confined himself to dodgy journalism. When he returned to London, he brought the same approach to jobs, extramarital affairs, and political stances. In 1999, Johnson became the editor of The Spectator, a witty, right-wing magazine that is traditionally close to the Conservative Party. The magazine was owned by the news magnate Conrad Black, who would call Johnson and ask him how it was going. Johnson would say that he was trying to turn the magazine into a cookie. “ ‘An opening of solid meal followed suddenly and dramatically by a chocolate taste explosion,’ ” Black recounted to Gimson. “It’s all rubbish, but it’s imaginative.”
In 2001, at the age of thirty-six, Johnson was elected a Member of Parliament for Henley, a safe Conservative seat in Oxfordshire. When he came under pressure to resign from The Spectator, because of the conflict of interest, he demurred, and coined what has become his best-known political aphorism: “I want to have my cake and eat it.” Johnson hates choosing between things, even right and wrong. In 2003, Lynn Barber, of the Observer, asked Johnson what principles he would be prepared to resign over. “I’m a bit of an optimist so it doesn’t tend to occur to me to resign,” he replied. “I tend to think of a way of Sellotaping everything together and quietly finding a way through, if I can.”
This quality makes for a radically self-dramatizing conception of politics. The public good does not fascinate Johnson. His heroes are Benjamin Disraeli and Winston Churchill, two other former journalists and somewhat errant outsiders, who became Conservative Prime Ministers. “I have climbed to the top of the greasy pole,” Disraeli said, on reaching Downing Street. Johnson, likewise, imagines politics as a necessarily upward ascent, a winner-take-all spectacle in which his participation is not questioned. In his “Desert Island Discs” interview, Johnson was asked about his ambition by Sue Lawley, the host. “My silicon chip, my ambition silicon chip, has been programmed to try and scrabble my way up this cursus honorum, this ladder of things. . . . I think British society is designed like that.”
The chase is everything. In 1987, when Johnson married Mostyn-Owen, who was generally considered the most beautiful woman at Oxford, he had to borrow a friend’s dress pants and cufflinks for the church service, and lost his wedding ring at the reception. (Stanley never wore one.) During his speech, Johnson misquoted P. G. Wodehouse and was heckled by a guest who had arrived by helicopter. “Good chap,” Johnson hollered back. “Give the man a coconut.” Mostyn-Owen later described her wedding as “the end of the relationship instead of the beginning.”
In 2008, Johnson became mayor of London, after fighting a disciplined campaign against Ken Livingstone, the Labour incumbent. Johnson had barely any policies and virtually no staff. “Boris is a curious guy,” Nick Boles, a former Conservative M.P., who advised Johnson at the time, has said. “There are no Johnsonites.” When the brand is a personality, it is hard to play a supporting role. In his first months in office, Johnson was drawn to the idea of being a “chairman mayor,” with a deputy who would actually do the job, and he appointed Tim Parker, a business-turnaround specialist, to run the show. (Johnson kept his weekly column at the Telegraph, for which he was paid two hundred and fifty thousand pounds a year.) But the experiment failed after a few months. Johnson ran City Hall much as he ran The Spectator—in a chaotic, idiosyncratic fashion, in which things sort of, well, just happened. “Boris is surrounded by people who are seeking to advance their own careers rather than his vision but he doesn’t seem to mind and we’re not clear what his vision is anyway,” one official told Purnell.
To Johnson’s credit, nothing went disastrously wrong during his eight years as mayor. In August, 2011, when the city erupted in a long weekend of rioting over a police killing in North London, he was on a family vacation in Canada, and took three days to return. But when he was criticized by a crowd in Clapham, where shops had been looted, he salvaged the situation by grabbing a broom, as if to join the cleanup effort. The boos turned to applause. Compared with Livingstone, however, Johnson left scarcely a mark on the city. Livingstone, who was London’s first elected mayor, introduced the congestion charge and the Oyster card (for using the Underground), added six thousand police officers, and won government funding for Crossrail, an eighteen-billion-pound Underground line that will open in 2021. Johnson’s legacy is a handful of toys: the city’s popular bike scheme, which was conceived before he took office; a cable car over the Thames; the ArcelorMittal Orbit, a tower/sculpture/slide in the Olympic park, in east London; and retro, double-decker buses that are unbearably hot in the summer. He is drawn to fantastical objects rather than to practicable policies. For years, as mayor, Johnson dreamed of a new airport in the marshes of the Thames, “Boris Island.” Since Brexit, he likes to talk about building a twenty-two-mile bridge over the English Channel to France.
The abiding image of Johnson as mayor comes from the 2012 Olympic Games, which were awarded during Livingstone’s tenure. As he rode a zip line into Victoria Park, as a promotional stunt, he gradually slowed to a halt. He remained stuck there, carrying two small Union Jack flags. The mishap did not harm him in the least. In “Political Sport and the Sport of Politics: A Psycho-Cultural Study of Play, the Antics of Boris Johnson and the London 2012 Olympic Games,” from 2014, Candida Yates, a professor of culture and communication at Bournemouth University, identifies Johnson as a politician who often seems to subvert the existing order but whose persona—quintessentially English, amateur and clownlike—serves only to reinforce it. “Johnson’s political identity is slippery,” Yates writes. He makes people in power, including himself, appear ridiculous, but that doesn’t mean he would dream of handing power to anybody else. He is a fully signed-up member of the tribe. Among British voters, Yates argues, Johnson’s gift is “to associate himself with the fantasy of ‘home’ as being located within an earlier, less complicated and secure pre-globalised age of flag-waving street parties, community sport and class difference.”
Brexit is the ultimate fantasy of home. On February 21, 2016, Johnson announced that he would be arguing for Britain to leave the European Union. At the time—four months before the referendum—the Brexit campaign still didn’t have a unified, formal organization and was badly outgunned by “Stronger In,” the government-backed Remain campaign. According to “All Out War,” the first part of Tim Shipman’s breathless, comprehensive, multivolume account of British politics since 2016, Johnson drafted three opinion articles—two for leaving, one for staying—in order to make up his mind. His first draft contained six hundred words about traffic regulations. A few hours before he declared his decision, he texted David Cameron, the Prime Minister, who had been two years below him at Eton. Paraphrasing Rudyard Kipling, Johnson predicted that “Brexit will be crushed like the toad beneath the harrow.” Dozens of reporters had gathered outside his house. “After thirty years of writing about this . . . I have a chance actually to do something,” Johnson told the scrum. “I will be advocating vote leave—or whatever the team is called, I understand there are many of them—because I want a better deal for the people of this country.” He described his chaotic announcement later as “an imperial goatfuck.”
At first, Johnson promised that he would not take a high-profile role in the Brexit campaign—or criticize Conservatives who were backing Remain—but that pledge lasted only a few days. The referendum debate was made for him. It pitched the government, which was boring, cautious, and cognizant of the flaws in Britain’s relationship with the E.U., against the Brexiteers, whose very name carried a whiff of japes and derring-do. While Cameron and his loyal ministers presented fact sheets warning of the economic and political risks of Brexit, Johnson and the gang toured the country in a bright-red bus, waving asparagus (to promote British farming) and promising to return three hundred and fifty million pounds a week to the National Health Service, which was a lie.
Like the E.E.C. officials in Brussels twenty-five years earlier, the Remain campaign found Johnson impossible to counter. “Boris Johnson is Mr Teflon,” a staffer wrote in a memo, about a month before the vote. “Almost all respondents find him funny and entertaining; some take him seriously, some don’t; but all of them discount his blunders and gaffs with ‘but that’s Boris.’ He’s seen as quite fake, but cleverly so.”
The jolly feel around Johnson enables him to air sinister ideas and dodge the consequences. When Barack Obama told reporters that Brexit would hurt the U.K.’s trading prospects, Johnson wrote a column referring to “the part-Kenyan President’s ancestral dislike of the British Empire.” (Johnson has also written of “crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies” with their “watermelon smiles,” in Africa, and described Muslim women wearing niqabs as “letter boxes.”) At a climactic TV debate between Leave and Remain figures, on the last day of the campaign, Johnson adopted a line—previously used by Nigel Farage, the leader of the U.K. Independence Party and now the Brexit Party leader—describing the day of the referendum as Britain’s independence day, a nationalist slogan that brought the house down.
On the morning of June 24, 2016, after the result had become clear, Cameron resigned. Johnson and Gove, the two most high-profile Conservative Brexiteers, appeared at a news conference, looking terrified. Johnson was expected to be installed in Downing Street within weeks. But, not for the first time, when he was confronted with something that he desperately wanted, Johnson lost focus. The day after the most momentous event in British politics for several decades, Johnson went to the countryside to play cricket with the ninth Earl of Spencer. The next day, he hosted a barbecue.
Johnson and Gove paired up to form what was known, very briefly, as the “Dream Team,” to lead a new, pro-Brexit government. The pact lasted six days. The afternoon before Johnson was due to launch his campaign to become Prime Minister, he still hadn’t written a speech. Boles, the M.P. who had advised Johnson when he became mayor in 2008, remembers finding him surrounded by a few lines jotted on scraps of paper. “Johnson was proud of his writing skills, his way with words,” Shipman writes. “And in his hour of maximum exposure they appeared to be failing him.” Johnson told Boles, “I’ve got nothing.” Gove ran to become Prime Minister himself. Johnson withdrew from the contest before it began.
The implosion of the Dream Team opened the way for Theresa May to become Prime Minister. To Johnson’s great surprise—and to everybody else’s—May chose him as her Foreign Secretary. (“What next, Dracula as health minister?” a spokesman for Germany’s Social Democratic Party asked.) At the age of fifty-two, Johnson was appointed to one of Britain’s great offices of state. Given the chance to frame a credible narrative for leaving the E.U., and to influence and improve Britain’s relationships with its neighbors in Europe and around the world, Johnson did none of those things. It is true that he was impeded by May’s close control of Brexit from Downing Street. It is also true that Johnson’s sole contribution to the conversation about the difficult trade-offs involved in Britain’s most important political challenge since the Second World War has been a reheating of his two-decade-old adage: “My policy on cake is pro having it and pro eating it.”
Johnson’s spell as Foreign Secretary was punctuated by moments of idiocy. In January, 2017, inside the Shwedagon Pagoda, a Buddhist shrine in Myanmar, a microphone picked up his muttered recital of a colonial-era poem (Kipling again), before the British Ambassador stopped him. That November, Johnson said that Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a British-Iranian woman imprisoned in Tehran since 2016 on spying charges, had been teaching journalism in the country, when her family insists that she was merely on vacation. Johnson’s mistake was seized on by Iranian officials; Zaghari-Ratcliffe is still in prison.
“Inside the Foreign Office,” a BBC documentary series that premièred last November, captured Johnson as a distracted, agenda-free buffoon. “We got the nice one, rather than extraordinary rendition,” Johnson says, as he and his team board a British government jet bound for Portugal. “Why are they trying to shaft us?” he asks of the French, during the Brexit negotiations. “Do they want more money?” In July, 2018, after May revealed the shape of her planned compromise with the E.U., Johnson left the government. The Brexit dream, he wrote in his resignation letter, “is dying, suffocated by needless self-doubt.”
Last month, Johnson was the first candidate to enter the race to succeed May. Whoever replaces her as the Conservative Party leader will automatically become Prime Minister. As of this writing, there are ten Tory M.P.s in the contest. Their fellow-M.P.s will choose the final two, who will then seek the votes of the hundred and sixty thousand mainly white, mainly older, fervently pro-Brexit Conservative members around the country. Johnson, who has promised to take Britain out of the E.U. on October 31st this year, with or without a deal, is the overwhelming favorite. He has had a haircut and is in modest, on-script campaigning mode. Of course, he could still fail to become Prime Minister. His self-belief is matched only by his capacity for self-sabotage. Until this moment, Johnson’s life and career have been a kind of monument to wishful thinking—of ridiculous expectations shockingly fulfilled. Brexit is much the same. “I’ve got nothing,” Johnson said. Britain is about to find out what nothing means." ♦

Bowing to pressure, Hong Kong leader suspends extradition bill
* Bill suspension follows violent protests in city
* HK leader Carrie Lam says will restart consultation on bill
* Another protest march scheduled for Sunday
* Chinese govt supports Lam, condemns violence
By John Ruwitch and Clare Jim
HONG KONG, June 15 (Reuters) - Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam on Saturday indefinitely delayed a proposed law that would have allowed extraditions to mainland China, in a dramatic retreat after anger over the bill triggered the city's biggest and most violent street protests in decades.
The extradition bill, which would have covered Hong Kong's seven million residents as well as foreign and Chinese nationals there, was seen by many as a threat to the rule of law in the former British colony.
Around a million people marched through Hong Kong last Sunday to oppose the bill, according to organisers of the protest, the largest in the city since crowds came out against the bloody suppression of pro-democracy demonstrations centred around Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989.
Demonstrations continued through the week and were met with tear gas, bean bag rounds and rubber bullets from police, plunging the Asian finance hub into turmoil and piling heavy pressure on Lam.
"After repeated internal deliberations over the last two days, I now announce that the government has decided to suspend the legislative amendment exercise, restart our communication with all sectors of society, do more explanation work and listen to different views of society," Lam told a news conference.
In her first public appearance or comments since Wednesday, she said there was no deadline, effectively suspending the process indefinitely.
Political opponents called for the bill to be scrapped completely. Protest organisers said they would go ahead with another rally on Sunday to demand Lam step down.
The about-face was one of the most significant political turnarounds under public pressure by the Hong Kong government since Britain returned the territory to China in 1997, and it threw into question Lam's ability to continue to lead the city.
It also potentially alleviated an unwanted headache for the leadership in Beijing, which is grappling with a slowing economy and an all-consuming trade war with the United States.
Asked repeatedly if she would step down, Lam avoided directly answering and appealed to the public to "give us another chance". She said she had been a civil servant for decades and still had work she wanted to do.
She added that she felt "deep sorrow and regret that the deficiencies in our work and various other factors have stirred up substantial controversies and disputes in society".
'GREAT CARE'
The extradition bill deliberations started in February and Lam had pushed to have it passed by July.
But the protests changed the equation. Cracks began to appear on Friday in the support base for the bill with several pro-Beijing politicians and a senior adviser to Lam saying discussion of the bill should be postponed for the time being.
Sing Tao newspaper reported on Saturday that China's top official overseeing Hong Kong policy, Vice Premier Han Zheng, met Lam in Shenzhen in recent days.
Lam declined to confirm whether or not the meeting had happened, but took ownership for the decision to suspend the bill and said she had support from the central government.
Steve Tsang, a political scientist at SOAS in London, said Beijing had most likely ordered Lam to postpone the bill.
"They would have indicated to Carrie...that this just has to end. She didn't understand what she was doing," he said.
"I think Carrie Lam's days are numbered...Beijing cannot afford to sack her right away, because that would be an indication of weakness."
The Chinese government office in charge of Hong Kong affairs expressed "support, respect and understanding" of Lam's decision to suspend the bill.
In a statement via the state news agency Xinhua, a spokesman said the central government "fully affirmed" the work of Lam and the Hong Kong government and would continue "to firmly support" her. Beijing "strongly condemns" the violence during the protests and supports the Hong Kong police, the statement said.
Pro-democracy politicians, responding to Lam's announcement, said a suspension was not enough.
"Carrie Lam has lost all credibility among Hong Kong people. She must step down," said Claudia Mo, a legislator and member of the pan-democratic camp, which has opposed the bill.
A spokesman said the U.S. consulate in Hong Kong welcomed Lam's decision and urged "great care and taking into account the views of the local and international community should the Hong Kong government pursue any amendments to its extradition laws, particularly as they relate to mainland China".
WITHDRAWAL 'WRONG'
Beyond the public outcry, the extradition bill had spooked some of Hong Kong's tycoons into starting to move their personal wealth offshore, according to financial advisers, bankers and lawyers familiar with the details.
And senior police officers have said Lam's refusal to heed public opinion was sowing resentment in the force, which was already battered by accusations of police brutality during the 2014 pro-democracy "Umbrella" civil disobedience movement.
Lam had said the extradition law was necessary to prevent criminals using Hong Kong as a place to hide and that human rights would be protected by the city's court which would decide on the extraditions on a case-by-case basis.
Critics, including leading lawyers and rights groups, note China's justice system is controlled by the Communist Party, and say it is marked by torture and forced confessions, arbitrary detention and poor access to lawyers.
China says it respects rule of law.
Hong Kong is governed by China under a "one country, two systems" deal that guarantees it special autonomy, including freedom of assembly, free press and independent judiciary.
Many accuse Beijing of extensive meddling since then, including obstruction of democratic reforms, interference with elections and of being behind the disappearance of five Hong Kong-based booksellers, starting in 2015, who specialised in works critical of Chinese leaders.
The Chinese government has denied that it has overreached in Hong Kong. (Reporting by John Ruwitch, Clare Jim, Jessie Pang, James Pomfret, Joyce Zhou, Vimvam Tong, Anne Marie Roantree, Greg Torode and Twinnie Siu Writing by John Ruwitch Editing by Michael Perry and Christian Schmollinger)

Coping With Reality Collapse
Freeman w/ Martin Geddes
Are we heading for an imminent collapse of trust in all mass media services and social media platforms? Will they be implicated in systemic, widespread and longstanding organized crime — that also encompasses much of our political and financial system? Will the public unite in disgust at the media’s treacherous betrayal
Is Q a military intelligence team in the Trump administration, a part of a global positive “Alliance”? Are they opening up a backchannel with the public, bypassing the compromised mass media, to reach the “anons” and “autists” who hang out on 8chan? There are good operational reasons for choosing this exotic social media platform.
A key purpose of the #QAnon operation is to facilitate a public “Great Awakening“.
On the other hand, if we are wrong, then the power of social media and propaganda to create and inflate bubbles of insanity — trapping intelligent people of goodwill — greatly exceeds anything we dared to imagine. The information age will be darkened by having divided society, destroying a consensus reality.

“I had not yet learned that one cannot really be superior without humility and tolerance and human understanding. I did not yet know that in order to belong to a rare and higher breed one must first develop the true power and talent of selfless immolation.”

Kybalion (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Kybalion) Unmasked: 3 Initiates & 7 Cosmic Laws (Pt. 1 & 2) - Philip Deslippe
Forum Borealis
Published on Jun 17, 2019
Dr. Deslippe has decoded the mysterious & influential publication Kybalion, today he joins us to reveal his findings. In Pt. 1 we look at its authorship & in Pt. 2 its spiritual principles. Some questions touched: Who's the 3 initiates? Who's Atkinson? (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Walker_Atkinson) What's his influences? Why did he repeatedly disappear & what could he have experienced? Did he meet Vivekananda? What is New Thought? Who's Baba Bharata & Yogi Ramacharaka? Was Atkinson a Theosophist? What other books did he pen? Was he initiated into any Esoteric Order? What's the Cosmic Laws & their sub-principles? Which books deals with these? What's the lost manuscript? How does it compare with Kybalion? + hear why Atkinson gave up suicide...

Published on Jun 21, 2019
Recent scientific reports have highlighted increased scientific interest in a long-enduring mystery on the Moon. For well over a half a century, scientists on Earth have puzzled over the cause of occasional mysterious flashes of light seen on the lunar surface, or what is called Transient Lunar Phenomena. In fact, reports of these mysterious light events on the Moon date back at least over 1,000 years. In this episode, we discuss the compelling evidence that the phenomena is electrical in nature.

Different color. :)
Different color. :)
Not necessarily ...
Wearing his head sweating leather hat (continuously over the years) ...
I'd say it could be ... After all i met and spent time with Mr Hat in 2012 ...
P.S. Bill did wear his hat at dinner and everywhere while 'Up at the Ranch'
With one exception - while sky watching (during the evening dim light).

I've seen photos of Bill wearing a knitted beanie when he's mountaineering. I've also already seen my niece wearing a beanie at the dinner table. So I don't really know whether there's any rule that says that one has to take off one's headgear at the dinner table ─ I've never worn any headgear myself, except when I was in the army and I had to wear either a beret or a helmet ─ although I suspect that wearing a racing helmet at the dinner table might be taking things a little too far. :p
Women and men at the dinner table are two different animals.

The Mandela Effect
Teal Swan
The Mandela Effect is a theory that a timeline or glitch in our reality has caused events in the past to change. Events like Nelson Mandela’s Death, Martin Luther Kings Death and the spelling of The Berenstain Bears. The easiest explanation is a collective false memory but is it as simple as this?

Secret Societies with Dr. Mark L. Mirabello
Strange Planet
Richard welcomes an author and history professor for an in depth discussion of SECRET SOCIETIES, including the nine different types of secret societies, and how these groups transmit secret messages through the media using coded texts and pictures.
GUEST: Dr. Mark L. Mirabello is an author and a Professor of History at Shawnee State University, and has served as a Visiting Professor of History at Nizhny Novgorod University in Russia.

UFOs: Ours or Theirs? Michael Schratt on the Richard Dolan Show
Since flying saucers first entered our public awareness in the 1940s, people have debated whether these objects are extraterrestrial or purely man-made. Ours or theirs. Michael Schratt is a private pilot, military historian, and expert in aerospace/aviation with a deep knowledge of UFO history. He offers his perspective on this important question. In addition, Michael has used his own skills in CAD and Solidworks, as well as contracting graphic artist professionals, to recreate fascinating and forgotten cases in UFO history, several of which are displayed here.

South Africa: cities without water | DW Documentary
By the year 2050, a quarter of the every world’s cities will be facing water shortages. Cape Town is already running out of water now. But the catastrophe was foreseeable: politicians have ignored periods of drought and the rapidly growing population for too long.
South Africa is facing its drought of the century. Cape Town's water supply is under threat because the metropolis is quenching its thirst with surface water alone. But climate change is making the weather more unpredictable and the reservoirs emptier. Those responsible are feverishly seeking a remedy. Can the worst still be averted?
Fear of social unrest, epidemics and the region’s economic collapse is spreading. Only through the discipline of the population, who have limited their water consumption 50 liters of water per day per head for months, has staved off "Day Zero,” the day when the taps are turned off and people can only draw water from public faucets. The lack of water throws the country’s social divisions into stark relief: rich South Africans can buy water, while poorer citizens cannot afford it. The filmmakers accompany a special police unit looking for people wasting water in the townships and meet farmers whose very existence is at stake. It is a race against time and a fight against political sleaze. Cape Town’s predicament is a lesson to the whole world: by 2050 one in four cities in the world will be affected by water shortages.

With July 4 celebration, did Trump politicize the military?
President Trump’s July 4 “Salute to America” heaped praise on the U.S. Armed Forces but also generated concern about potentially politicizing the military. William Brangham talks to Mike Lyons of West Point’s Modern War Institute and Peter Feaver of the Triangle Institute for Security Studies about whether the president crossed the line and the risk of involving the military in a “civic photo op.”

With July 4 celebration, did Trump politicize the military?
Yes, he did. It's what fascists do ─ the word "fascist" used here as an unbiased political designation, rather than as an expletive. The USA has already been a crypto-fascist nation for many decades, but under Donald Trump, the "crypto" aspect of it has now dropped away.
And most US Americans don't even see it ─ probably because they've got their noses right on top of it. :hmm:
