CONTINGENCY PLANNING: Interplanetary Alien Introduction

LET ME SUGGEST something with certainty. 

"If and when" an advanced society of aliens from another planet becomes aware of human life on Earth, they will NOT send single spacecraft or small groups of spacecraft into our atmosphere to be sighted by humans on Earth. 
 
Our introduction to others from interplanetary space will not be with a member of their society. They will communicate through their technological advancement, without the risk of having their members being harmed. 
 
It would be wise for Naval Intelligence to work out a contingency plan for an interplanetary council meeting via hologram. 
 
For this reason, human sightings of single or small groups of UFO-UAPs which have been reported beginning in 1947, are NOT of interplanetary spacecraft. 
 
Any alien society which is aware of life on Earth will fill our planet's low orbital space with thousands of spacecraft for their first formal introduction.
Trust me on that...

SONDHEIM LYRICAL TECHNIQUIES IN LITERARY NARRATIVES

SONDHEIM LYRICAL TECHNIQUES IN LITERARY NARRATIVES
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I JUST FINISHED listening to Stephen Sondheim give a young Jaye Griffiths instruction on how to execute the song, "Send In The Clowns."

Great stuff.

Sondheim focuses on the role of each word in the lyric. Each word having the function of revealing the emotional state of the character, as well as serving to evoke emotion from the listener. One word in the line serves multi faceted functions. One word provides information about the interaction between the environment, the character and the listener.

I recognize Sonheim's purpose here, because it is similar to how I craft narratives. In a narrative, I may have a choice of stating, "It brings a tear to my eye." The fear is that this colloquial expression, may have lost its evocative power by being reduced to a sterile cliché.

The alternative expression would be, "I was nearly brought to tears..." In crafting the narrative sentence, of course, it is not intended to portray the narrator as crying. The act of crying would literally reach a resolve. Crying is resigning to a conclusion. It is the final episode of an emotional wellspring, boiling in an event that the narrator seeks to avoid. The continued boiling of emotions, the description of being on the edge of resolve, evokes a more powerful response from the reader, than it would be to conclude the episode with the act of crying.

Sondheim and I have the same eye in our understanding of the critical function of each word in a narrative or in lyrics to a musical.

Now do not jump all over me, accusing me of being presumptuous by equaling myself to Stephen Sondheim. The fact is that I am a demonstrated genius, who speaks on topics in which genius is based.

In other words, patronize me here, if you feel more comfortable.

In the video clip, Sondheim focuses on Jayes' interpretation of the word, "WELL...maybe next year." Sondheim explains that in song, the word 'Well" should be an "angry separation." Exclaiming in song,
"WELL..." and then coloring the expression, "maybe next year."

These are very subtle literary and lyrical skills to acquire. They require keen insight into language, linguistics and concepts in linguistics.

But, ultimately these are skills which distinguish great work from the very good work of others.

A LEONARD BERNSTEIN TRUISM IN ARABIC MUSIC

A LEONARD BERNSTIEN TRUISM IN ARABIC MUSIC
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING powerful musical program being broadcast on the Arabic Music Program, on WDIY.ORG fm from Allentown, Pa and into Northern New Jersey through translators.
Powerful and moving music.

If you have studied at the college level, Introduction to Classical Music and more advanced music, you recognize the movements, the melody and the synthesis of sound to create full sound from few instruments. There is the pre-Renaissance concerto, created centuries before in Arabic and Lebanese music, where the vocalist sings to the instruments, violin or other instrument and they answer each other.

Leonard Bernstein stated that "music follows language."  He emphasized that music will follow the pronunciation, tone and inflections of its language.  Arabic developed more vowels than Hebrew acquired, after both Arabic and Hebrew were borrowed from the Phoenician Alphabetic language.

Selections in the program included music from Egypt and other regional Arabic music.


Full and emotionally moving groups of pleasant notes is the essence of music.

The vowel derived melody in the spoken words of Arabic, its ancient history from the arrival of the Phoenician Lebanese in their Canaan around 3000 BC is all brought together in the mesmerizing linguistic music of Palestine-Syria-Lebanon, now broadcasting from Allentown, Pennsylvania. Program selections included music from Egypt and other regional Arabic.

A beautiful and important music program today on WDIY.ORG

NEW JERSEY CONGRESSMAN DEMANDS COPIES OF TRUMP IRS RETURNS

NEW JERSEY CONGRESSMAN DEMANDS COPIES OF TRUMP IRS RETURNS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Paterson, NJ,  Feb. 12, 2017)
REPRESENTATIVE BILL PASCRELL, a former Mayor of Paterson, New Jersey, former state legislator and current resident of Paterson and member of Congress' powerful House Ways and Means Committee, has requested the committee chair, Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, to request the US Treasury Department to provide copies of Donald Trump's IRS Tax Returns.

Bill Pascrell is relying on a 1924 provision in the federal statutes that allows congressional committees the power to examine tax returns, if those committees set tax policy.

In explaining his determination to obtain copies of Donald Trump's tax returns, reported by USA Today, Pascrell stated,

“If I get a ‘no’ answer on this, I’ll be very honest with you: If these guys think I’m walking away from this, they’re absolutely nuts," Pascrell commented. "The calls we’re getting, the calls other congressmen are getting, it’s unbelievable, we never expected this.”

Bill Pascrell is a resident of the City of Paterson's 6th Ward, which has a significant, vocal middle eastern constituency.

The 6th Ward has the largest population of Middle Eastern ethnic residents in Paterson. The 6th Ward, commonly referred to as "South Paterson," is also the location of numerous, long ago established, middle eastern businesses along Main Street. South Paterson is similar to the middle eastern business district of Atlantic Street in Brooklyn.

Pascrell was also a leading proponent for the early release of Israeli Mossad agent, Jonathan Pollard.
Pollard had been convicted of espionage and treason against the United States, in what was described by the federal sentencing judge, as "Causing the greatest damage to US National Security in history." Pollard's sentence was commuted by President Obama. After completion of assignment to a half way house, Pollard received a hero's welcome in Israel.

In "Fair Disclosure" under Journalistic Standards, it is noted that this writer served as 6th Ward Leader of Paterson, during his role as Chief Campaign Counsel for the city mayor at the time, Martin "Marty" Barnes in two successful mayoral elections. Marty Barnes was the first African American Mayor of Paterson.

TRUMP EXECUTIVE ORDER UNDER FIRE UNDER LAW

TRUMP EXECUTIVE ORDER UNDER FIRE UNDER LAW
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(New York Feb. 7, 2017)
LEGAL ARGUMENTS WERE presented to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit today, on the matter of Donald Trump's executive order on immigration policy.

The legal issue that the court must decide on appeal is a narrow one.

The legal issue on appeal is whether the Temporary Restraining Order which the lower US District court entered, which temporarily enjoined the federal government from enforcing the ban, should continue, pending a full trial on the merits of the case.

Here is what to watch for.

Two states, Washington and Minnesota, have challenged Donald Trump's sweeping ban of entry into the United States by visa applicants from seven, predominantly Muslim countries.

The lower federal court granted an application for an injunction to temporarily stop the government from enforcing the ban. This Temporary Restraining Order continues until the case could be heard on a full evidentiary trial.

In granting the TRO, the lower court agreed with the challengers to the federal ban, that unless the court issued a stay of the government's enforcement of the ban, the plaintiffs would suffer "immediate and irreparable harm." The plaintiffs were also required to prove to the lower court that they had a "probability of prevailing on the merits, when the case comes to a full evidentiary trial." Further, the plaintiffs proved to the US District Court that the "defendants would not suffer substantial prejudice" by the entry of the TRO.

These are the legal elements that the plaintiffs were required to establish before the lower federal court. These are the legal requirements for entry of an Injunction and Temporary Restraining Orders as set out under the Federal Rules of Civil Practice and by US Supreme Court and other federal court case decisions.

By granting the application for a Temporary Restraining Order, the lower court found that the plaintiffs had met their legal burden under the Federal Rules.

The government appealed to the US District Court of Appeals in order to vacate the TRO. Today's legal arguments centered on whether the lower court erred in its finding that the plaintiffs had met their legal burden under the federal rules and the applicable case law.

When construing the facts before the US Court of Appeals, it is clear that the appeals court will affirm the lower court's ruling. The appeals court is highly likely to continue the Temporary Restraining Order against the federal government.

Clearly, neither Donald Trump or any part of the government CSIS branches may indiscriminately ban persons reentering the US, who have a legal liberty and property right entitlement, arising from their status as Permanent Resident Card holders.

Moreover, it is clear that under Trump's overly broad executive order, the government could not restrict entry of persons who held valid visas to enter the US and had "touched US soil."
The US Supreme Court had earlier determined that any person, who has touched US soil or is found within US Territorial Waters, is entitled to a Due Process hearing before a court of competent jurisdiction. This means that any alien who is undocumented or out of status, can only be deported after having an opportunity to defend themselves before an Immigration Judge, in court.

Surprisingly, news reports of the oral arguments made today before the Ninth Circuit, did nor indicate that "property and liberty" interests were at stake. This is a major deficiency in the argument by the plaintiffs in failing to make a Due Process and Liberty and Property entitlement argument.

The other issues, which were widely covered was whether the executive order constituted religious discrimination. This is a difficult argument for the plaintiffs to prevail on. Although, the seven banned countries are predominantly Muslim, the population's religion is not sufficient alone to evidence a case of religious discrimination.

The plaintiffs would be on firmer ground to argue that the issuance of Permanent Registration Cards and lawful visas, constitutes an enforceable liberty and property right under the US Constitution. Other issues of religious discrimination, should have been secondary. The pitfall that plaintiffs need to avoid, is being tempted to argue that all aliens residing in the banned countries have a legal right to apply for visas and obtain entry into the US.

This would be a fatal argument. Aliens who are overseas have no rights under US law.
The focus must be on the aliens who were restrained from entering the US at a point of entry, despite having obtained lawful permanent US residency status and a valid visa under the eligible categories.
With the widespread news accounts covering the activity before the Ninth Circuit on the Trump immigration fiasco, you can be reasonably certain that, based on reasons explained here, the US Court of Appeal will DENY the appeal and will AFFIRM the lower court's entry of the TRO, pending a full evidentiary trial.

The consequence of AFFIRMING the lower court, is to allow any alien who continues to be restricted from entry in the US while at points of entry, to be permitted entry pending a full trial on the legality of Trump's executive order.

At the same time, the Court of Appeals may AFFIRM IN PART, by allowing all aliens at US Points of Entry to continue into the US, but will remove any part of the Temporary Restraining Order which limits the government's ability to deny visas to future applicants within the seven banned countries.
Those who arrived prior to entry of the court's decision, will likely be permitted their entry and stay within the US. Those aliens who apply in the future for a visa within one of the seven banned countries may be legally banned from entering the US.

The lower court's decision may be AFFIRMED or AFFIRMED IN PART, with the provision that the executive order may ban future visa applicants from the seven designated countries.

By affirming in part, both sides will have won. Not only would this comply with applicable law, but it appeals as the Solomon solution.

LIGHTING THE NEAR EAST DYNAMITE BOX: Friedman and His Fanatic Islamic Counterparts


LIGHTING THE NEAR EAST DYNAMITE BOX:  Friedman and His Fanatic Islamic Counterparts
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(There are occasions when extreme journalism is necessary to impart urgency.  This is one of those situations.)

THE APPOINTMENT OF David Friedman as US Ambassador to Israel is a disgrace and a spit upon international law and the world community.
Friedman is an augmented tendril of the Netanyahu Third Reich government established by Netanyahu's ultra conservative group.
These are fanatical people who have a callous disregard for international law, the UN Charter, UN Resolutions, Law of War on Land (1907) and the post Napoleonic Era prohibiting one country's acquisition of land by annexation of another country's territory.
Friedman, like Netanyahu's ultra fascists, subscribes to the belief that Eretz Israel has a "biblical right" to all of Jerusalem and all of Palestine.
These are people who are cut of the same cloth of ISIS / IS. They are driven by religious fanaticism, in derogation of law. Like the warped heads of Islamic terrorists who believe Islam is destined to be the theological power in the world, so too are these Judaic fanatics who believe that their theology is destined to disrupt a world governed by laws.
These are equally sick, fanatical Islamic and Judaic religious drunks.
There is an unquestionable legal status of Jerusalem, that undermines the warped fanaticism of religious drunks like Friedman, who believe that G-d instructs them to conquer and steal, the same way that ISL fanatics are driven to biblical beheadings.
They are no different.
The UN in 1947 partitioned Palestine under the UN Resolution for the Partition of Palestine 1947. At that time, after Palestine was destabilized by terrorist groups, like the IRGUN murderers headed by Menachim Begin, who blew up the King David Hotel, murdering British officers and other innocents, the Zionist Political Party was given 78% of Palestine to establish the state of Israel.
Israel declared independence in 1948. The legitimacy of Israel arises from recognition and creation by UN Resolution. The legitimacy of Israel does not arise from warped, religious notions of theological supremacy.
That Partition Plan granted West Jerusalem to the Zionist Party, while East (Old) Jerusalem remained within the proper state of Palestine. Old Jerusalem was NOT included in the UN Partition Plan which created Israel. It remains, under all applicable laws, a part of Palestine.
Neither the 1967 Arab-Israeli War or any subsequent action has conferred Israel any sovereignty over East Jerusalem. No laws or actions have granted Israel any greater right over those areas in which Israel continues its invasion of Palestine, through construction of housing units for Israelis, than the rights limited to Israel's boundaries created in 1947.
Under the Geneva Convention provisions, custom and protocols, Israel is a "Foreign Military Occupying Power" in East Jerusalem.
Nothing has changed that international law and legal status of Jerusalem. This legal status has not changed, despite the massive disinformation campaign to portray Jerusalem as some area of land that is "up for grabs" by two competing parties.
East Jerusalem was never a part of the land partitioned off from Palestine, that was given to the Zionist Political Party. 
This is not an argument. This is a legal fact.
An "Occupying Power" under the Geneva Convention has nothing to negotiate. The Israeli Occupying Power in East Jerusalem and throughout the territories of Palestine is simply under a legal obligation to withdraw from all occupying territories, belonging to Palestine.
Borders of a country do not change, because one newly created country has been given billions in military arms, to exercise threat over another established indigenous people and their country.
David Friedman is a religious drunk. He is the mirror image of the Islamic terrorists who find joy in cutting off the heads of others who refuse to believe in their sick interpretation of a god.
If David Friedman's nomination is approved, it will be the US' striking a match and putting its face close to light the Near East dynamite box.

NOW BROADCASTING: Diversion and Deception Techniques In Identifying The Cyber Attack Government


NOW BROADCASTING: Diversion and Deception Techniques In Identifying The Cyber Attack Government
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LISTEN TO ME here...

These people on the radio who are saying Russia conducted the cyber attacks, because "Putin was in the KGB. He takes a special interest in these types of things..." are spreading nonsense.

There is NO significant history of espionage against the US by Russia. There is a long list history of espionage and unsurpassed cyber war capability by Israel.

Russia stood to gain nothing by the election of either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.  On the other hand, Israel is poised to accomplish self-perceived historic gains, by the election of Donald Trump, through the appearance of US legitimacy to Israel's claim to Jerusalem and all of Palestine.

The last US major espionage conviction involving Russia was in the middle 1970s, in which a confused and mislead CIA employee sold top secret documents to Russian agents at an overseas Russian Embassy.

In contrast, Israel has engaged in a continuing comprehensive espionage program against the US for the past 40 plus years.  Israel's Mossad has been comprehensively active with espionage and theft in the areas of Scientific, Industrial, Political, Academic and Military intelligence.  This includes the theft of  US intellectual property and university research data.  

The history and propensity of Israel's espionage activity against the US is clear. 

Israel hijacked a tractor trailer along Route 80 in Pennsylvania, which was transporting weapons grade Plutonium.  Mossad smuggled the Plutonium out of the US to launch Israel's illegal nuclear weapons program at, below and in proximity of the Dimona reactor.  Israel has since manufactured more than 250 illegal nuclear warheads. 

Israel's Mossad agent Jonathan Pollard was sentenced to the longest prison term in modern US history for causing, as termed by the federal sentencing judge, "the greatest damage to US National Security in history."

Israel stole research data from one the US' largest chemical companies in order to further their military top secret program on "Smoke."

In another instance, Israel's young married Research Professor was "handled" by Mossad to steal research data from a large Eastern public University in the area of "Ceramics."  That young research scientist and his wife was arranged to meet his Mossad contact near the border of Connecticut and Rhode Island at a remote lake in a State Park Reserve.  This Mossad contact was conducted during a weekend mathematics conference held at Yale University. 

Israel's Embassy in the District routinely stole copies of legislative materials being transported for publication before those documents could make it across the street from the US Capitol Building to the Government Printing Office.

The list of espionage against the United States by Israel is long and continues.

Israel's motive in hacking the US national elections is based on Trump's earlier promise to illegally deliver East Jerusalem to the Netanyahu government, by legitimizing Netanyahu's plan to annex all of Palestine, beginning with moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem.

Netanyahu, who clandestinely implemented a genocidal African Baby Program, by secretly inoculating all African women entering Israel with the long-lasting contraceptive, Depo Provera, gleefully described his successes as, "Trump is a true friend of Israel."  Netanyahu immediately announced "the end to the two state solution."  

Neither Netanyahu or Israel has demonstrated any restraint in their actions against the United States or other countries, when a goal is deemed in Israel's greatest interests.

Trump has now promised to act quickly on his pre-campaign promise to Netanyahu that the US will move its embassy to Palestine's East Jerusalem.   

No country in the world recognizes Israel's claim that Jerusalem is its capital.  No country in the world will locate its embassy to Jerusalem and thereby legitimize the illegal appropriation of Palestinian Lands, pursuant to the UN Charter, the UN Resolution for the Partition of Palestine 1947 and numerous provisions and resolutions under international law. 

Despite this world community interpretation of international law, Netanyahu's goal to exterminate all of Palestine sovereignty was facilitated with  the election of Donald Trump.

The Israeli unsurpassed cyber war capability presented no difficulty in accomplishing that Holy Grail acquisition, through the hacking of US voter registration rolls to ensure Trump's election. 

Additionally, this nonsense about the CIA concluding that it was Russia and Putin behind the
cyber attacks is beyond the heads of these mouthpieces on the radio.

Take note: The CIA is PROHIBITED by Charter and federal law from conducting any examinations
or investigations within the United States. The Agency is also the least competent of US intelligence gathering agencies. Even in analyzing international locus points of interest, the Agency is ill equipped to reach a rational conclusion on this election event.

That incompetence is the reason why President Bush ignored CIA briefings and reports and
established a cut out group for collection of information.  Cut-Outs (pop outs) were more reliable. Cut outs were not in the position like Agency analysts of having to fabricate stories and scenarios, because they were being paid to produce something.

This CIA spin and Russian Putin involvement is all wrong.

Russia would be in good stead to assist in this investigation.

COMPUTER HACKING:  Did Foreign Intervention Install a US Government?



COMPUTER HACKING:  Did Foreign Intervention Install a US Government?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By: Ray Oliver New York Metropolitan Area-OliverNewMedia



NPR NEWS ANNOUNCED on November 28th that, computer experts at the University of Michigan have informed the California Election Board that voter returns could have been hacked.  This announcement is welcoming news for different reasons.

First, Michigan is the first public announcement, following my earlier articles, that there might be a connection between the earlier "scanning and probing" cyber attack and a potential cyber attack on our election’s computer voter returns.  The New York Times earlier reported that a cyber attack
NYT cyber attack  was conducted by a foreign government.  The foreign government attacked by “scanning and probing state voter registration rolls,” across the United States prior to the election.   The director of the National Security Agency refused to attribute the attack to the Russian government.  A different government used a Russian company to scan and probe state voter registration rolls across the US prior to the national election.

Secondly, having selected the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, for the computational analysis was the perfect selection. It is encouraging that some had the intelligence to know where to go for this serious national issue.

There is no better place than Michigan at Ann Arbor to solve this election mystery.
Why is Michigan the perfect place?

The most active and advanced mathematical Supercomputing center is located at the University of Illinois at the Circle Campus.

"Circle" has a longstanding association with our intelligence agencies.  In addition, the university is under significant influence by that foreign government, which will rise to the top of the suspect list for hacking US computer voter returns, if evidence of computer hacking emerges.

That suspected foreign government has influence in the appointment and termination of professors on the Circle campus.  There is a history of that government, acting through local political and religious groups, of creating blacklists on academicians, who are critical of that government and their policies.
Who knows?  We may even discover that the Circle Campus Supercomputer was used in a (potential) cyber attack and distortion of our national election.  Of course, my statement here is speculation.  To use the Circle Campus supercomputing capabilities would require an obliteration of all signatures that the origin of the attack was connected to the CC computer.

This makes use of the Illini Circle supercomputing mathematical center, highly unlikely and improbable.

Michigan at Ann Arbor is the perfect choice, because Michigan's experts are not affected by that potential Circle Campus contamination.

There is another player to watch out for in future developments on the computational analysis playing field of voter returns.

Watch to see if University of Indiana becomes a player in these voter recounts.
Why watch Indiana University?

IU is one of the portals into our intelligence agencies.

Connections are made early at IU for introduction into the Agency (CIA).  Sometimes, these introductions come from University of Illinois at Circle and transfer to IU for further development and assimilation into the intelligence community.

When these voter recounts begin, with the participation of great computational analysts like Michigan at Ann Arbor, we can look forward to a "rockem-sockem" fight on what happened on November 8th.
There is even a potential for an unprecedented constitutional crisis on the legality of an incumbent president, if Swing State votes were distorted.   Additionally, there may be an earth-shaking revelation on just how fool-hearted America has been in its trust of a recidivist hostile agent country, pretending to be our friend.

After all, it was not too long ago that their espionage agent was sentenced to the longest prison term in US modern history, for causing, according to the US Department of Justice and the federal sentencing Judge, "the greatest damage to US national security in history."  This unprecedented foreign government damage to America followed that government's hijacking of a tractor-trailer along Route 80 in Pennsylvania, which carried weapons grade Plutonium.  It is this same foreign government, which smuggled the contraband Plutonium out of the US, callously endangering the lives of millions of Americans along the eastern seaboard.  This rogue government used the US stolen Plutonium to launch an illegal and clandestine nuclear weapons program, manufacturing more than 250 nuclear warheads over the past forty years.

This same government emotionally entrapped a US senior engineer who worked for one of the country's largest chemical companies.  They emotionally forced him to participate in their military top-secret program on Smoke.  It is a recidivist hostile country agent that "handled" their young married, US visiting Research Scientist, to steal academic research information and technology on Ceramics, from a large eastern state university.

It is the same hostile agent country, who during the Nixon administration, continuously stole copies of legislative materials transported for publication, where those materials could not make it across the street from the US Capitol Building to the Government Printing Office, without their embassy in the District secreting copies first.

The list is long.

Flipping a few US computer voter return digits to install a US government that earlier promised to give them their self-perceived Holy Grail, would be no problem for a government with this history.

Are memories so short-lived?

NATURAL LAW AND THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE

NATURAL LAW AND THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


LET ME ANSWER (again) a question that some have asked me regarding the Electoral College.

Briefly:
The Electoral College was created out of the philosophy studied by the Founding Fathers and their strong belief in the Natural Law.

The Natural Law is the law of morality and ethics. Its most fundamental expression of principle is that "All men ought to act according to their true conscience." This is the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas in his work, Summa Theologica and earlier expressed by Plato in his works on "Metaphysics." The term Meta means "beyond." The term Physics means "the physical world."

Metaphysics is the study beyond the physical world that we live in.

The Founding Fathers believed that an essential function of a democracy is to express the will of an "informed" majority in the interest of the Public Good.

The Founding Fathers foresaw that their might arise a situation where the will of the majority contravenes the public good or may be an expression of an act against Ethics.

An example might be where the majority (plurality) of voters have voted to abolish their democracy and vote in a tyrannical government.

To address that potential dysfunction of a democracy, the Founding Fathers created an Electoral College that casts the votes to elect the President and Vice President.

Members of the Electoral College are equal in number to each state's members of the House of Representatives and their two Senators.

It is tradition for them to cast their votes for the winner of the plurality of votes in their states.

HOWEVER, as instilled by the Founding Fathers, these members of the Electoral College are NOT mandated to cast their votes for the majority winner of their state.  Some states have enacted party rules or state statutes which attempt to mandate loyal voting or disqualify disloyal voting.  These statutes or rules are of no consequence when contemplating the historical backdrop to the formation of the Electoral College and their ethical duty to act according to true conscience. 

The members of the Electoral College are dictated by their conscience to cast their votes on behalf of their state's constituency.

IF A MEMBER of the Electoral College's true conscience does not allow them to cast their vote for the majority winner of their state, then they OUGHT to act only according to their true conscience and cast their vote accordingly.

THEREFORE, a member of the Electoral College is NOT obligated to cast their votes, except according to their true conscience.

Theoretically, the members of the Electoral College may cast their votes for Hillary Clinton or even for a third party candidate, without regard to the majority vote winner in their state.

Whether these electoral college members will cast their votes for a candidate other than their state's winning candidate is extremely unlikely. The members will vote for their state's winner, unless a catastrophic event occurs which allows them to be guided by their conscience when casting their votes.

There is no chance of the electoral college viewing the election of Donald Trump as a conscience shaking event. There is no chance that Hillary Clinton will be given the electoral votes from the states where she lost the plurality of the votes.

The Natural Law, which supercedes any conventional laws made by man, does not apply to or favor Hillary Clinton when the Electoral College casts their votes.
(c)oliver2016
-----------------------------
UPDATED: See comment below in answer to point raised on Trump's "fitness to serve."

*** [ An unfit person, is only one potential event, which can lead the EC to elect a candidate, other than the plurality winner of their state.

As I explained above, the EC is based on Natural Law principles studied by Thomas Jefferson and others. (Because we were only permitted to study primary sources, I was required to read the same original, rare text book on Natural and Politic Law, by J.J. Burlamaqui, that Jefferson studied from, in addition to studying the Letters of Thomas Jefferson.)

Any time a member of EC votes, they are duty-bound to vote their true conscience. The reality is that the EC will cast their votes for the plurality winner of their state. There is nothing in this past election that would change the minds of enough EC college members to vote otherwise. ...

BUT, a person  raised a valid point.
The  issue of whether Trump is the type of candidate that should not receive the EC vote, is problematic.

In Ethics, Trump could be deemed to be unfit to serve as president. The statement of Pope Francis that Trump "lacks the moral qualifications to lead a country," raises an ethical dilemma for the EC. Although Ethics does not arise from religious principles, the Pope clearly is an authority on ethics and morality.

In Ethics, the Pope's assessment of Trump is conclusive in recognizing that ethics dictates that  in order to act morally, "one ought not to vote for Trump." This moral dictate applies to the members of the electoral college.

Therefore, it is correct, that in Ethics, members of the EC "ought" not to vote for Trump, in order to act morally.]

FOREIGN GOVERNMENT "SCANNING AND PROBING" OF US ELECTION ROLLS

FOREIGN "SCANNING AND PROBING" OF US ELECTION ROLLS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS THE signal. There may be a clue here to the surprising results of the election. The results contradict the empirical data and computer calculated prediction. Having had a personal experience around 1994 at a remote, isolated lake near the border of Rhode Island and Connecticut, I have this continuing sense of suspicion, which I cannot shake off. My Washington Bureau Chief friend's advice to me when I was in the District, still rings in my head, "Mr. Ray. You have to be careful in this world. Everything is possible. Nothing is too crazy."
Let's assume as a hypothetical that there was foreign interference with the reporting of numbers or computer programming in this election.

There are only two foreign countries that have motive and opportunity to interfere with election results and reporting false numbers. One is Russia. The other is not China, but maybe as Donald Trump said when he dismissed Obama's accusation of Russia, that it could be

Here is an excerpt of the New York Times, Oct. 7, 2016 article.

   
"The statement from Mr. Clapper and the Department of Homeland Security, which is primarily responsible for defending the country against sophisticated cyberattacks, said the intelligence agencies were less certain who was responsible for “scanning and probing” online election rolls in states around the country. It said that those “in most cases originated from servers operated by a Russian company,” but stopped short of alleging the Russian government was responsible for those probes.

...

as recently as Wednesday the director of the National Security Agency, Adm. Michael Rogers, refused to publicly accuse Moscow."  NYT Oct. 7, 2016



There is a clue here. I cannot shake off my suspicion. There is one country that has absolutely no reservation in acting against the US on "every level," in doing whatever it deems in its own best interest.

I will look further into this. As I mentioned earlier, there are people in NY's Diamond District who can provide reliable and credible information relating to US-Russia events. During the 1980s, there was a direct link on Canal Street, New York. That link no longer exists. In the early 1980s, I was told by a client that while he was in a foreign country, he was instructed by his business negotiators, "not to take that flight out of the country." He changed his flight ticket. That flight was carrying government officials and crashed.

The point is that there are highly credible sources which can lend insight into what happened with our election model. Why was every analytical calculation wrong?

The answer to the election result mystery lies somewhere. That place might be found in the operations center of a foreign intelligence organization that interfered with our elections to snatch their Holy Grail. Edited 11/10/16

FOREIGN GOVERNMENT "SCANNING AND PROBING" OF US ELECTION ROLLS

FOREIGN "SCANNING AND PROBING" OF US ELECTION ROLLS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS IS THE signal. There may be a clue here to the surprising results of the election. The results contradict the empirical data and computer calculated prediction. Having had a personal experience around 1994 at a remote, isolated lake near the border of Rhode Island and Connecticut, I have this continuing sense of suspicion, which I cannot shake off. My Washington Bureau Chief friend's advice to me when I was in the District, still rings in my head, "Mr. Ray. You have to be careful in this world. Everything is possible. Nothing is too crazy."

ISRAEL ULTRA CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT ELATED OVER TRUMP ELECTION ANNOUNCES END OF PALESTINE
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IN ISRAEL, NETANYAHU congratulated newly elected president Donald Trump, stating that Israel has a "shared destiny" with America. President-elect Donald Trump invited Netanyahu to meet with him as soon as the Israeli Prime Minister can arrange his travels.

In the face of criticism for earlier statements by Netanyahu which were interpreted by world leaders to be a willful disregard of international law and UN resolutions, Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu had refrained from making further controversial statements in his congratulatory statements on the election of President-elect Donald Trump.

Netanyahu's restraint however, was not reflected by the rest of his ultra conservative cabinet members. Netanyahu's ultra conservative members shouted to Israel's press, that Trump's election marks "the end of the two State solution" and is "an end to the existence of Palestine."

Netanyahu's ultra conservative appointments called for an "immediate move of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem" in a symbolic message that Israel has annexed Jerusalem from Palestine.
Currently, no country in the world has located their Embassy in Jerusalem. No country currently recognizes Israel's claim of Jerusalem as its capital, based on the recognized legal status of East Jerusalem under international law.

The United States consistently, from Republican through Democratic Presidents, has refused to locate the US Embassy to Jerusalem. Netanyahu among other top cabinet officials have called for the US Embassy to be moved quickly to Jerusalem.

It was earlier reported, that Donald Trump earlier made a personal promise to Netanyahu to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem.
Trump's promise goes against long-standing policy of the US and against UN resolutions and world-wide recognized international law.

The Israeli Occupation of East (Old) Jerusalem is construed by the United Nations as a violation of international law and in violation of long standing UN Resolutions. These include the same resolutions which had created the state of Israel.

Under the "1947 UN Partition Plan for Palestine," the United Nations partitioned off 78% of Palestine and gave those defined boundaries to the Zionist Party for creation of a separate Jewish state in Palestine.

Under the terms of the 1947 UN Partition Plan, Israel was given West (new) Jerusalem, while East Jerusalem remained within the original country of Palestine. Israel militarily occupied East Jerusalem during the 1967 Arab-Israeli War.

The UN has reaffirmed Israel's illegal occupation of East Jerusalem through UN Resolution 242 and subsequent resolutions which call for Israel's withdrawal to boundaries defined prior to the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. International law experts note that no country is permitted to acquire lands through annexation of another country or region.

The UN Charter, the Law of War on Land (1907), numerous UN Resolutions and post Napoleonic Custom and Protocol under International Law, prohibits any country from "Acquisition by Annexation" of lands.

Many newspaper references to the status of Jerusalem inaccurately portray the issue of Israel Occupation of Jerusalem as a competition by both Palestinians and Israelis for East Jerusalem to be their capital.

Despite that portrayal, according to the United Nations and world community, the current legal status of East Jerusalem is that it was never a portion of the lands partitioned by the UN and given to Israel.
UN spokespersons, including the UN Secretary General have noted that East Jerusalem historically remains within the original country of Palestine under the UN Partition Plan and under International Law.

President-elect Trump is poised to disregard the world community and international law by acting on reported favors requested by Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu, relating to the US Embassy and Occupation of East Jerusalem and eliminating the State of Palestine.

On the election of Trump, President Abbas of Palestine congratulated President-elect Donald Trump and promised to work towards peace in accordance with UN Resolutions and under International Law governing the status of East Jerusalem.

NATURAL LAW AND THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE IN THE US

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LET ME ANSWER (again) a question that some have asked me regarding the Electoral College.

Briefly:
The Electoral College was created out of the philosophy studied by the Founding Fathers and their strong belief in the Natural Law.

The Natural Law is the law of morality and ethics. Its most fundamental expression of principle is that "All men ought to act according to their true conscience." This is the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas in his work, Summa Theologica and earlier expressed by Plato in his works on "Metaphysics." The term Meta means "beyond." The term Physics means "the physical world."
Metaphysics is the study beyond the physical world that we live in.

The Founding Fathers believed that an essential function of a democracy is to express the will of an "informed" majority in the interest of the Public Good.
The Founding Fathers foresaw that their might arise a situation where the will of the majority contravenes the public good or may be an expression of an act against Ethics.
An example might be where the majority (plurality) of voters have voted to abolish their democracy and vote in a tyrannical government.

To address that potential dysfunction of a democracy, the Founding Fathers created an Electoral College that casts the votes to elect the President and Vice President.
Members of the Electoral College are each state's members of the House of Representatives and their two Senators.

It is tradition for them to cast their votes for the winner of the plurality of votes in their states.

HOWEVER, as instilled by the Founding Fathers, these members of the Electoral College are NOT mandated to cast their votes for the majority winner of their state.

The members of the Electoral College are dictated by their conscience to cast their votes on behalf of their state's constituency.

IF A MEMBER of the Electoral College's true conscience does not allow them to cast their vote for the majority winner of their state, then they OUGHT to act only according to their true conscience and cast their vote accordingly.

THEREFORE, a member of the Electoral College is NOT obligated to cast their votes, except according to their "true conscience."

Theoretically, the members of the Electoral College may cast their votes for Hillary Clinton or even for a third party candidate, without regard to the majority vote winner in their state.
Whether these electoral college members will cast their votes for a candidate other than their state's winning candidate is extremely unlikely. The members will vote for their state's winner, unless a catastrophic event occurs which allows them to be guided by their conscience when casting their votes.

There is no chance of the electoral college viewing the election of Donald Trump as a conscience shaking event. There is no chance that Hillary Clinton will be given the electoral votes from the states where she lost the plurality of the votes.

The Natural Law, which supercedes any laws made by man, does not apply to or favor Hillary Clinton when the Electoral College casts their votes.

WHY ARE THERE PROTESTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY AGAINST DONALD TRUMP?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because, Trump told America that women and girls are worthless and free to physically, sexually abuse when you "are a star."
And a large portion of the United States electorate agreed

Because, Trump told America and disabled people that children and adults with Cerebral Palsy act funny, "like this, (parodies acts)."
And a large portion of the United States electorate agreed.

Because, Trump displayed his pretentiously named son, Baron, in front of America and told a mother that her infant son, will never achieve higher success or professional esteem than being a "future construction worker."
And a large portion of the United States electorate agreed.

Because, Trump told America that it is "okay to target specific religious groups," despite the principles of the Founding Fathers guaranteeing a Freedom of Religion in America.
And a large portion of the United States electorate agreed.

But, a larger portion of America, representing a majority of the electorate have disagreed.

CECIL THE LION & THE TRAGIC ALBOIN

CECIL THE LION & THE TRAGIC ALBOIN

 UPDATE:  07/28/2014  1:45pm
*****

UPDATE: ZIMBABWEAN WILDLIFE PARKS MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY issued an announcement on their continuing investigation into the killing of Cecil, a well recognized Parks Reserve lion. "All parties have been charged..." The Authority has indicated that no hunt quota permits were issued to the landowner on which Cecil had been hunted. Here is the latest announcement,
...
" In this case, both the professional hunter and land owner had no permit or quota to justify the offtake of ...the lion and therefore are liable for the illegal hunt.
Both professional hunter Theo Bronkhorst’s licence number 553 who was involved in the hunt and the owner of Antoinette farm, Mr. Honest Trymore Ndlovu are being jointly charged for illegally hunting the lion. The two are due to appear in court on Wednesday, 29 July 2015. Efforts are being made to interview the other professional hunter, Zane Bronkhorst, licence number 558, who was also involved in the illegal hunt."

This is an unfortunate development as it reflects poorly on the ethical hunting community
*****
 
 
THE MINNESOTA DENTIST who is a "world class big game trophy bow hunter" and who is in the news for killing Zimbabwe's national pet lion named Cecil, is the wrong person to blame for the travesty.
 
The big game Safari hunt that this dentist had paid for, runs nearly $100,000.00 in total expenses, with lion trophy permit fees alone costing $50,000.00+. The dentist was on a guided hunt. Unless he knew that the guides had set him up in a spot in proximity to the National Wildlife Parks Reserve, he cannot be held responsible for the accidental shooting of "Cecil the lion."
 
Cecil was shot by bow on legally permitted hunting grounds. However, from reports and the criminal charges filed against the Guides, it appears that Cecil had been lured from the National Wildlife Reserve onto the legal hunting grounds. In hunting, this is referred to as "fence-sitting." It is a dastardly practice, where a hunter sets up next to another person's boundary or fence and waits for game to come over the fence or shoots the animal on the other property and rushes over to retrieve it. This is an illegal practice, which is subject to loss of hunting licenses and fines.

The dentist stated that he assumed the hunt was legal and that all permits had been taken care of by the Guided Safari Hunt Co.

The dentist is correct.

Critics are now accusing the dentist of hunting other big trophy game, which make up his (also very expensive) collection of mounted trophies.

That criticism is naïve.

Zimbabwe, South Africa and other African countries offer a very limited amount of Big Game Trophy Hunt permits. These permits typically cost more than $30,000.00 and up to $55,000.00 for a lion, depending on the rarity of the animal that the permit allows.
Other expenses drive these Safari hunts to close to $100,000.00 in total expenses.
Critics who clamor and call to "stop killing innocent animals" may end up "shooting themselves in the foot."   Zimbabwe and other countries depend on this revenue to afford maintenance and management of the Wildlife Reserves.

These Big Game fees pay to expand and manage animal populations in the Wildlife Reserves. These hunt fees pay to restore endangered and restricted wildlife populations.

Without the financial ability of big game hunters like the dentist in Minnesota, National Wildlife Reserves would have very little to offer to world tourists and to future generations.
Wildlife populations in the National Parks would diminish and die off a slow death.

By stopping Big Game Safari hunts, anti-big game hunting protestors will find themselves celebrating their victory like the tragic Alboin of the Inquisition, by drinking from the skull of
one of  many starved Park Reserve lions.

THE HILLARY STANDARD: Republicans out of control

 

 THE HILLARY STANDARD: Republicans out of control

 

 
HILLARY CLINTON is scheduled to be "raked over the coals" by an out of control Republican partisan congress this week.
I understand that Hillary misjudged the Benghazi attack on our Embassy, thinking that it was a political demonstration. However, no other Secretary of State was held responsible for an unanticipated sudden attack against our Embassies or staff around the world. Secretary of  State Clinton was placed in a position of having to make a remote assessment of a fluid, fast paced situation.  The quality of her assessment was equal to the quality of the information given to her.  The Benghazi attack was a surprise, without any advance notice. 
I KNOW PERSONALLY that we had advance notice of the potential attack on our Embassy in Tehran in 1979.... Yet no one was held responsible and "raked over the coals" like Hillary is having done to her.    

On January 5, 1979 at O'Hare Airport, I was standing earshot to the family and friends of one of our Embassy staffers who had just arrived from our Embassy in Tehran. She exclaimed, "...God. I'm so happy to be home. You can't believe how happy I am to be home. I can literally kiss the ground. ... That place is ready to explode. They are on the rooftops calling to each other every night. Everyone is so scared..."

In November of 1979, the Khomeini Revolutionary Guard commandos took our Embassy staffers hostage. We had advance notice of an impending disruption. We did nothing to protect our staffers. No one was held responsible for the misfeasance. Hillary should not be subject to a standard that has never been applied before

THE DONALD & EL CHAPO: THE REACH


THE DONALD & EL CHAPO:  The Reach


PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFUL DONALD Trump has been campaigning throughout the country and politicking on a platform of higher and stronger walls and bigger and stronger prosecution for all border-crossing Mexicano families

These are the families who have calculated that the prospect of achieving American Liberty and Property, far outweighs the risk of being caught and prosecuted for their illegal entry into the United States.   

The Donald being a Wharton School MBA graduate, recognizes the economic nuances of Mexicano marketplace competition.  He has blasted this Meh-i-cano assessment of American compassion, opportunity and easy access.

Also entering this Presidential insanity trail is the notorious El Chapo.
El Chapo is a duly self-made President himself, of sorts.

El Chapo as the world well knows, is the number one drug cartel kingpin in all of Cartel Meh-i-co.   

As the international wire services have verified, El Chapo “don’t need no stinkin prison walls” to keep him from pursuing his special vision of Liberty and Property. 

Having gotten the news of The Donald’s trivializing the worth of Mexicanos, compared to
the value of a higher border wall, El Chapo being a newly escaped prisoner from MAXIMUM security, boldly tweeted The Donald with a threat couched in fluent American profanity. 

Presidential hopeful Donald Trump is unfazed by El Chapo’s threat.

I am relatively certain that The Donald does not know the story of “the reach,” which has gone down into the annals of Mafia influence and distorted notions of loyalty.

This true story characterizes a top ranking Mafioso who left behind a stunningly attractive wife, when the jail doors clanged behind him.  
His spoken word quickly circulated, “to take care of his wife and family.” 
Loyalty and fear did just that.  His wife and family were well cared for.

But, the unspoken word was “you don’t fool with his woman.”

This ruthless El Chapo-like Capo soon died in prison. 

Being dead, buried and gone, one of the Don Juan mobsters began to openly date and sleep with the dead Capo’s widowed wife. 

And this “Joie de vivre,”  lover of life Don Juan was quickly found dead from an unfortunate collision with bullets. His name was scratched off the hit list.

In the annals of Mobster power it is said that “The hit was ordered from the grave.”   

And it is not a stretch to put El Chapo and that Capo who held graveside court, in the same incredibly dangerous category of killers. 

Tweeting ruthless fear is one thing. 
But interjecting himself into the U.S. presidential insanity trail
is a whole different level of El Chapo reach.

A CLOSER LOOK AT GOLDEN AGE COMEDY



I RECENTLY HAD the opportunity to screen numerous episodes of the classic LAUREL & HARDY escapades.

I am convinced that the legendary comedy team would not have achieved pinnacle success without the brilliant comedic performances of the stunningly beautiful, hilariously funny and feminine, Hal Roach Studios Stock Performer, THELMA TODD.

Thelma was beautiful, talented with an elegant stature and a reserved comedic sensuality.  Film and comedy truly cannot surpass the genius of Thelma Todd.  The next time you have the pleasure of
watching your next Laurel & Hardy film, your enjoyment will be enhanced if you closely watch the wonderful performances of the women supporting actors. 

And it is the incomparable Thelma Todd  that is positioned at the top tier of those wonderful golden age women comedic performers.
