In reply to Mueller’s Focus on Adviser to United Arab Emirates Indicates Widening of Inquiry

Combine the below with this bit in Mayer's article on Steele, and this story about the $160 million to fight Russia unused by State, and stories about plotting involving Tillerson getting as thick as pea soup:

Emails show UAE-linked effort against Tillerson

By Suzanne Kianpour @ BBC News, Washington, 5 hrs. ago

The BBC has obtained leaked emails that show a lobbying effort to get US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson sacked for failing to support the United Arab Emirates against regional rival Qatar.

Major Trump fundraiser and UAE-linked businessman Elliott Broidy met US President Donald Trump in October 2017 and urged him to sack Mr Tillerson, the emails reveal.

In other emails, he calls the top US diplomat "a tower of Jello", "weak" and says he "needs to be slammed".

Mr Broidy says Qatar hacked his emails.

"We have reason to believe this hack was sponsored and carried out by registered and unregistered agents of Qatar seeking to punish Mr Broidy for his strong opposition to state-sponsored terrorism," a spokesman for the businessman said.

He said some of the emails "may have been altered" but did not elaborate [....]

One of the unfortunate by-products of the loss of editorial influence/overview/existence is that we see the same photos of any subject over and over again. Check any Post, NYT, etc. site with articles about the same theme and you'll see the same photo. A shame, really. Not as much fun as it used to be to see what real photo editors could do for a story.

Thanks,OGD. I do check out

I definitely remember bagnewsnotes as being very good at what he did. So thanks for sharing that you had tracked a new version down.

I used to read an interesting site, bagnewsnotes, that gave some good insights into what the pictures in news articles were trying to say. I lost internet access for a year and forgot to return to it but I checked and discovered it still exists as Reading the Pictures. I'm not sure it maintains the same quality it did some years ago but I guess I'm going to put it back on my list of regularly checked sites. There are also a few books by Wilson Bryon Key discussing the use of subliminals in advertising that are worth reading.

Yes, that is an excellent example.
I would call that good fortune, even if you never completely recover.

I once had the good fortune to have Willuam Burroughs recite the Curse of the Monkey's Paw in his house in Lawrence, KS. Though come to think of it, maybe it wasn't good fortune after all...

In reply to If they're bigger and quite

I think he is telling self-reference jokes for the pleasure of it.
They are similar to this one supplied by Hilliard on the linked page:

"A logician saves the life of a tiny space alien. The alien is very grateful and, since she's omniscient, offers the following reward: she offers to answer any question the logician might pose. Without too much thought (after all, he's a logician), he asks: "What is the best question to ask and what is the correct answer to that question?" The tiny alien pauses. Finally she replies, "The best question is the one you just asked; and the correct answer is the one I gave."

In reply to I find it helpful when you

I doubt your Poputchiks intended to but they seem to have brought out a sinister humor in your comments. Your attempts to discourage my exposure of the bigger and quite public agendas in play today does show they have some power that some people think needs to be obscure. It's probably best that the snowflakes know they are playing the modern version of the useful idiot as they chase CAGW and other agendas for the NWO.
