Assasination Politics - Frequently Asked Questions

I think the question/answer format could be useful here to highlight the more serious 'issues' with AP and the overall workings of the system. So off the top of my head, here are two questions: 1) wouldn't the rich and powerful use AP against honest people? 2) wouldn't AP be used to lynch people that the mob dislikes? Say, black people in places with a majority of trump voters. (feel free to rephrase my questions in proper english =P )

"Your rulers" on full display: Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), chair of the House Judiciary Committee and a longtime proponent of tighter border security: “I think it’s admirable, and I think that the country should respond,” Goodlatte told The Post. “Obviously, we can’t let citizens raise money and say, ‘The government will spend my money on this purpose.’ ” https://nypost.com/2018/12/20/border-wall-gofundme-may-need-to-issue-refund… Fund another brick in the wall, already >$10 million in 3 days: https://www.gofundme.com/thetrumpwall Your fav neon writeup: https://dailystormer.name/gofundme-for-the-wall-reaches-past-10-million/

Gatwick drones

One has to wonder if the Gatwik dronners simply found a way to modify the wifi frequency placing it out of the ISM band and the military's radio countermeasures were specifically only for those frequencies.

how to use mobile phone GPS without a SIM card?
by Zenaan Harkness 21 Dec '18

21 Dec '18

In a certain neurone's synapse firing (asking "for a friend") my, I mean my friend's mobile phone GPS ought to work without a SIM card, my friend would think. However when I try to use an app that attempts to get GPS coords, with Wifi turned on (and the app updated itself and browser working, so Internet working), the app (Waze) just remembers my previous country (Australia) location and continues to "Attempting to get GPS location" but never finds a new location in my new country location (Noo Zealand). - Android - Wifi on - GPS on - Airplane mode not enabled - no SIM card - mobile data disabled - Bluetooth off Any ideas why GPS would require a SIM card?

Francais: gendarmerie respectfully observe Yellow Vests finish waltz to Edith Piaf before dismantling protest camp - [PEACE] [AS IN LITERALLY]
by Zenaan Harkness 21 Dec '18

21 Dec '18

The title is kinda misleading - the (french military) police actually stood back (as the article body explains) whilst the #GiletsJaunes protesters waltz their last camp waltz. Piquant. Classically French. Go Yellow Vests! French spirit in motion: Yellow Vests waltz to Edith Piaf as police close down camp (VIDEO) https://www.rt.com/news/447143-yellow-vest-france-dance-police/ … When French gendarmerie – military police – arrived to clear out a group of demonstrators who had set up camp outside the town, a troupe of Yellow Vests assembled for a final feat of heart-tugging defiance. Congregating around their makeshift bonfires, the yellow-clad resistors danced arm-in-arm to the tender strains of Edith Piaf. The military police, who had been sent to evict them, looked on – respectfully waiting, it seems, for the rousing French ballad to end before beginning their unpleasant work. This brief video tells a story that goes much deeper than opposition to fuel taxes or Emmanuel Macron – the nationwide Yellow Vest movement has stirred the French soul. Don’t hold your breath waiting for Western media to broadcast such images on every TV screen, however. Increasingly, the working-class protesters are being painted as dangerous extremists who have been spurred on by Moscow. CNN, for example, has claimed https://edition.cnn.com/2018/12/07/europe/who-are-gilet-jaunes-intl/index.h… that “anti-immigration populists and hard-core fascists” are among those who fill the movement’s ranks – an apparent attempt to discredit the nationwide, cross-party movement. …

Antonin/ Anton Scalia has quite a few conspiracy theories, and almost absurd "facts" behind his death, that "failure to use CPAP machine" along with "no autopsy was orderd" (for a Supreme Court wig no less) because apparently "his family didn't want one". Please! Slip a sleeper into his drink, turn off his CPAP machine and hold a pillow over his face, and make sure (((your friends))) are in charge of security so that no cameras are recording at the time your hit man walks into Scalia's room.

Ritchie, former head of criminal investigations for D.C. police, wrote in a post on Facebook on Sunday. Scalia was found dead in his room at a luxury hunting resort in the state’s Big Bend region by the resort’s owner. It took hours for authorities to find a justice of the peace. When they did, Presidio County Judge Cinderela Guevara pronounced Scalia dead of natural causes without seeing the body — which is permissible under Texas law — and without ordering an autopsy. … The manager of the El Paso funeral home that handled Scalia’s body said Scalia’s family insisted on not having an autopsy done. … “You have a Supreme Court Justice who died, not in attendance of a physician,” he wrote. “You have a non-homicide trained US Marshal tell the justice of peace that no foul play was observed. You have a justice of the peace pronounce death while not being on the scene and without any medical training opining that the justice died of a heart attack. What medical proof exists of a myocardial Infarction? Why not a cerebral hemorrhage?” … “How can the Marshal say, without a thorough post mortem, that he was not injected with an illegal substance that would simulate a heart attack…” “Did the US Marshal check for petechial hemorrhage in his eyes or under his lips that would have suggested suffocation?

CPAP?
by jim bell 21 Dec '18

21 Dec '18

I started using a CPAP machine (Continuous Positive Air Pressure) in 2013, to help with sleep-apnea, where my breathing stopped during sleep. CPAP keeps the airways inflated during sleep, stopping snoring as well. Without CPAP, a person with sleep apnea stops breathing, in my case sometimes well over one minute. Eventually the oxygen level drops to the point that the body rebels, and there's a sudden gasp, and the blood's oxygen levels are somewhat restored. At that point, I hypothesized that many people might be saved from an early death by using a CPAP. The low-oxygen condition might very well be hard on the body. A couple of years ago, when Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia died, I immediately wondered if a CPAP machine might have saved him. I didn't see anything, immediately. But a few weeks later, a story appeared saying that while Scalia usually used a CPAP, he did not do so on the night he died. Here is one such article, probably not the one I initially saw. http://www.sleepreviewmag.com/2016/02/scalia-may-have-forgotten-hook-himsel… Had he used that CPAP that night, he might very well have lived. Now, we hear that Tim May died, of "natural causes". Well, death due to sleep apnea would qualify as "natural causes", too. I encourage anyone who might have sleep apnea or snoring to obtain and use a CPAP machine. While they can be prescribed by a doctor (a sleep therapy doctor), much-cheaper CPAPs are easily available, for example on Craigslist. I use a Philips Respironics Remstar System One, and it has worked well for me for years.
