20191104: Schiff Releases Testimony

Here we go. First one is Marie Yovanovitch. I understand Fiona Hill is coming.

https://docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG00/CPRT-116-IG00-D003.pdf

Bottom of Page 288, Yovanovitch admits to asking State Dept to monitor certain US citizens.

Pages 224 and onward for several pages, fired Ambassador Yovanovitch claims she didn’t think the prosecution of Sytnyk and Leshchenko was worth a conversation to the State Dept. The trial was a HUGE DEAL in Ukraine. They were found guilty of meddling in our 2016 election by leaking 2 pages of a black box ledger from the Party of Regions. Docs suddenly appeared, mysteriously, and were thought to be forged. These two pages being released are the reason why Manafort resigned as head of Trump Campaign in August of 2016. The ledger claimed Manafort received between 9-27 million dollars in cash and carried it across 4 international borders… yet Mueller didn’t find it, and strangely Mueller dropped all reference to Ukraine. Gates, who handled the books for Manafort’s firm and admitted embezzling from Manafort, never shows an entry for the ADDITIONAL millions allegedly received from The Party of Regions.

Yovanovitch claims the prosecution was political and the courts in Ukraine “lack credibility” because they haven’t been reformed. No one asked her about the audio tape of Leshchenko bragging about helping Hillary Clinton. In the trial, 4 were indicted in Ukraine and two were found guilty, the Head of Anti-corruption bureau and a rabid Member of Parliament. A higher court acquitted the two on “statute of limitations” and “entity bringing the case didn’t have proper standing”.

Therefore, for the two years the case progressed through the court system in Ukraine, and with all the world wide media focused on Trump/Russia/Mueller, are we to believe Ambassador Yovanovitch merely ignored the whole thing?

Page 316: MR. ZELDIN: Are you aware of a policy where aid from the United States to Ukraine was linked to investigating the B’idens?

145. YOVAN0VITCH: No, I am not. An official policy. There’ s no off i c i al pol i cy . MR. ZELDIN: Are you aware of an unofficial policy? MS. YOVANOVITCH: We11, I mean, reading the texts and so forth, it made me wonder whether there was an unofficial po1 i cy.

OMG, Zeldin is completely effing with her. LOOK at this exchange, pages 316-317. Sure would have loved to have seen the look on her face.

MR. ZELDiN: Now, Ambassador Volker’s testimony when he was here, he was test’if yi ng that B j tl Taylor’s text was as a fo1low-up to a Politico story that he had read that he was concerned about. The texts that you reference also include responses to Ambassador Taylor where it says, the President has been absolutely crystal clear there’s no quid pro quo. So with regards to the texts, are you talking about some of the texts or all of the texts in saying that there was an unofficial policy? I’lS .

YOVAN0VITCH: I think that I probably should decl i ne to answer that question, because I was not in the policy world at that point. I’1R. ZELDIN: That’s a fantastic answer, and I ‘m glad you’re giving that answer, because I wouldn’t say that there would be an unofficial policy without having a1l of your information to be able to say there actually was an unofficial policy. So I think that I would have no further questions based off of that answer to the last question.

Pages 316-317

Ohhhhhh, looky here. The press has been lying to us. The press gives us the impression the Javelins were necessary to protect Ukraine. Remember Bill Taylor’s text message where he traveled to a forward position, could see Russians, and was worried Ukrainians MIGHT DIE? Well, as it turns out, this aid had nothing to do with the Javelins and are on a completely separate track/purchase timeline. The media misled the public.

MR. MEADOWS: A11 right. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Ambassador, there’s been, and Chairman Schiff kind of alluded to this, and when we start talking about Javelins and foreign aid, for the record, I want to make sure that we’re clear. The foreign aid that was has been reported as being held up, it doesn’t relate to Javelins, does it? l4S.

Y0VAN0VITCH: No. At least I’m not aware that it does.

MR. MEADOWS: Because foreign military sales, or FMS , as you would call it, js rea1ly a totally separate track, is it not? Foreign military sales get approved, but they’re actually a purchase that happens with, in this case, it would have been Ukraine. Is that correct?

MS . YOVAN0VITCH: So, yes . President Zelensky was talking about a purchase. But separately, as I understand it, and, again, this is from news accounts, the security assistance that was being held up was security assistance, it wasn’t the FMS.

MR. l’IEAD0WS: But ‘i t was actually ai d that had been appropriated and it had nothing to do with Javelins. Would you agree with that?

MS. YOVANOVITCH: That’s my understanding.

MR. MEAD0WS: Yeah. Because it’s critically important in this context when he says, “We’re almost ready for the Javelins, ” that happens on cycles that are not necessarily just appropriation cycles. In your history as a foreign service diplomat, you’ve seen that, I assume, over and over again. Is that correct?

MS. YOVAN0VITCH: Yeah. I assumed that what it meant is that, you know, they were getting paperwork together, et cetera, and working with our military colleagues.

MR. MEAD0WS: And when the a’id ultimately came through, ‘it didn’t impact the purchase of those Javelins even when the aid ultimately was approved. Would you agree?

MS. YOVAN0VITCH: Not to my not to my knowledge.

MR. MEAD0WS: Right.

Pages 314-315

20191104: MAGA/KAG Rally in Kentucky!

Have you ever been to Kentucky? It’s the land of college basketball, coal mining, gleaming modern cities combined with a dedicated effort for historical preservation, miles and miles of famous blue grass, the fastest horses in the world, the finest Bourbons, women who “shine with their own kind of light”, famous men (both Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis), and in my opinion, the country’s finest interstate system (thank you, Mitch McConnell).

Tonight, we’re going to Rupp Arena in Lexington, home of the Kentucky Wildcats, which seats 23,000 people. It’s sacred soil for basketball fans, and normally a sea of blue (school colors) but tonight it will be a RED WAVE for President Trump and the reelection of Matt Bevin! …..Along with a whole slate of Republicans. Expect a big turnout tonight, the election is tomorrow!

Louisville, Kentucky is about 1 hour west, 70 miles, with the Capitol, Frankfort in the middle of two major cities.

Kentucky is 379 miles from east to west, 170 miles at its most broad from north to south. Kentucky is bordered by four rivers on three sides, and has more navigable waterway than any other state except Alaska. Population is 4.468 million, median income is $48,375 but an old stat from Wiki. Kentucky is home to the largest cave system in America, the Mammoth Caves (Where is Gail Combs?) and the largest manmade lake, Cumberland. The natural beauty of Kentucky is inescapable as Kentucky goes from an elevation of 250 ft on the west near the Mississippi River — to the Appalachians on the east, elevation of 4100ft+++.

Matt Bevin was elected with Tea Party support and has clashed with the GOPe on many occasions. Good for him but wow, it’s been a tough slog in Kentucky fighting establishment Repubs and the Dems. Bevin is the kind of guy who “walks the walk”. He’s staunchly pro-life and lives his convictions. The media hates him for it. He and his wife have 9 children, 4 of whom are adopted.

The Bevin Family

The Opioid Crisis is a big problem in Kentucky. The fight this time, however, is about who gets to pick the legal team. Are the retainers going to campaign donors or the best law firm to represent the state? Atty General Beshear, Dem candidate for Governor, chose his campaign donors to lead a lucrative fight against big pharma on behalf of Kentucky. The payoff would be enormous for Beshear’s buddies. Bevin is sticking up for the voters and took the payoff/contract all the way to the State Supreme Court, where Bevin won. It’s been a bitter fight and the long knives are out for Bevin. https://www.wdrb.com/news/bevin-beshear-clash-as-opioid-crisis-becomes-issue-in-ky/article_7cfde9f6-cb66-11e9-970e-1b6a36420285.html

Time to move the campaign gear to the front of the closet. We’re less than 365 days to election day and it’s time to step up, loud and proud, on behalf of our President. Rallies will be coming fast and furious from now until election day 2020.

It’s still early in the morning in Lexington but Trump Supporters are out in the cold before tonight’s rally. Here’s one of America’s finest.

We can’t leave Kentucky without a little music and a quick tour of the state.

If you’ve never been, ya’ gotta go. Churchill Downs, Run for the Roses, First Saturday in May.
Lake Cumberland is spectacular at any time of the year.
Mammoth Cave is indescribable, you have to see it to believe it.

The Kentucky Bourbon Trail has become a tourist hit! The trail takes visitors inside 10 distilleries with taste testing and fascinating history. Traveling from town to town takes in horse stables, old taverns, and historic sites like Abraham Lincoln’s birthplace. The scenery along the way is verdant and breathtaking. We might lose a few of our readers on this trip….. https://www.earthtrekkers.com/kentucky-bourbon-trail-ultimate-guide/

Of course, everyone from Kentucky knows the words to “My Old Kentucky Home”. The song was originally an anti-slavery ballad composed by Stephen Foster in 1852. When a Kentuckian sings this song, they get misty eyed, lock arms, and remember a simpler time. It’s about hardship and family. Very emotional, heartfelt, appreciative, enduring. Can’t sing it without a tear in the eye.

All of us are familiar with the legend of Secretariat. I was kid in 1973 but my grandparents raced and bred thoroughbreds. The Kentucky Derby was like the Super Bowl in our house. That year, Secretariat’s win at the Kentucky Derby, from deep in the pack, was nothing short of a miracle, breaking a track record, 1:59.2. He went on to win the Preakness, again rivaling Sham, in another track record. By the time Secretariat got to the Belmont, Secretariat was on the cover of Time, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated. Halfway into the race, Sham and Secretariat opened a 10 length lead on the rest of the pack. By the end of the race, Secretariat won by 31 (it wasn’t 25) lengths. Watch…… this ……. horse…….. run………..

When Secretariat died in 1989, his autopsy revealed his heart was 2 1/2 times larger than a normal horse. He had a bigger engine. Secretariat became a super horse. Because of his God given talent, it enabled him to do things other horses couldn’t do, things we could have never imagined, things we only would see once in a generation…….. and when he was done running, we instantly felt as though we just witnessed history.

Who does that remind you of?

Seeking QTreeper Counsel on Active Shooter Training and Sketchy Scheduling Thereof

This is a bit of a strange post, and I won’t go into all of the details here and now. Maybe never. However, I am deciding how I’m going to deal with exactly what is in the title, and I want the have maximum information at hand when I do. You folks are a wealth of information. The more good data I have in hand, the more likely I can finesse my way through this little “event bottleneck”.

I am also trying to CHANGE the future by TALKING about it. It’s a neat trick.

Here we go.

I have been invited – in a very voluntary way – to an event in the future which “has my name on it”, so to speak. It’s not about ME, but it’s about something which is important to me. Others know this. It’s a “handle” on me – a manipulator. One that others are well aware of.

If I do NOTHING, I will never end up there. But it would be like Daughn or Big T getting invited to attend a meeting about B&Bs in their town. How can either say no?

I should also say that I AM WORRIED it’s a bit like Barbara Olson getting invited to talk about her book.

Now – even if I DON’T go there, certain bad things can happen ANYWAY. That is partly why I’m making this post. But if I go there, they are more LIKELY to happen, in my opinion. I think that many of you would agree.

I did not put 2 and 2 together when I got this invitation, but I did later. And it was THAT recognition which slightly blew my mind.

You see, this event is being held in the exact same location, at the exact same institution, where 3 days earlier, there will have been “active shooter training” – which even MORE curiously, I have strongly considered attending. It will use said location and said institution – the exact same rooms, I’m sure – for the training.

Most people don’t pay attention to this stuff. But WE DO.

Sorry – I cannot get certain images of ROOMS in New Zealand out of my mind. The ones where we see in videos both obvious training and supposed mass murder.

The institution is a bit of a micro blue zone, by the way. Not as big as New Zealand, but it behaves in a predictable manner, like New Zealand and other blue zones. Nobody would ever question anything.

I was not individually invited to the training, but I did pick up a copy of an invitation to a group I belong to. Because I have taken a variety of first aid and emergency training classes, I thought “Hey, this might be a good thing!”

This institution has never had active shooter training. This will be a first.

Now – more about the “event” which follows the “active shooter training” by 3 days.

There will be a government official there, who works for a governor under extreme media and political pressure on gun control. That official is actually taking part in the program.

It’s a gun-free zone, although there may or may not be any armed security.

It would be a propaganda gold mine for gun control if somebody shot up that event, which I expect would have had low or inadequate security until I just made this post and presumably set off a few alarm bells. #NeverTrump would be clamoring to ban AR-15s, and the governor would HAVE to take action against AR-15s. This event will be loaded with virtue signals to both right and left. Any attack upon these symbols – well, clearly we have to do something about guns.

And then there is the little question of one of the VERY FEW “inconveniently remembering” and extremely detailed, fairly credible witnesses to MK ULTRA interrogation and programming being present.

And we must remember that WITNESSES have been having certain PROBLEMS lately.

But then, if such a witness were to say anything about the whole sketchy thing – such as right now – that witness might be discredited. “Paranoid“, they might say. I mean, it all sounds a bit paranoid to me, too.

And yet, when I asked my dearly departed mother WHY and HOW she managed to live through Hitler, she had a one-word answer. “Paranoia.”

That answer has worked REMARKABLY well for me, too.

Are any of you bothered by this? I need a reality check here.

Something just seems extraordinarily sketchy about all of this. It sets off ALL my alarms and ALL my red flags. After ALL the things that have happened to me – after ALL the things that have happened to WE THE PEOPLE – there just seems to be something wrong here.

I could simply trust in God, but sometimes trusting in GOD really means trusting in OURSELVES, and then trusting in GOD to give us STRENGTH – and that would include the strength to speak up.

So what do you folks think?

Is it time for me to hunker down and just say “Look, kiddo – this is weird – trust your gut – it has saved you a million times – stay the hell away.“

Of should I go to either or both of these events now, and just say “You saw something (in your head), you said something – your duty to warn is done. Go and have a good time. They will NEVER pull any crap now. The white hats know everything. The black hats know you know. There will be adequate security.“

Or should I say “Look, kid – they still have TIME to repair their scheme and figure out a new way to make it work. Some of these white hats ain’t so white. Stay the hell away from this. LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER. And if you won’t listen to her, listen to your friends.“

So here we are, friends.

LAY IT ON ME. Every instance of sketchy training + mass murder / gun control, what you think about my situation, and what the former means for the latter.

I appreciate your thoughts.

PS – I may or may not tell anybody what I eventually do. I need some operational uncertainty.
