tends to happen if you can't read. there aren't that many good comic book histories. I think just Bud's

man they are pissing me off. after I paid to upgrade they sent me a survey as to why I upgraded. my response - because you guys are a$$holes. They still get the last laugh.

thanks Piat, your file (actually both files) is included on the ticket along with a few others and your note.

No I quoted exactly what was in the article in full and yet again you obfuscate. So there are no intel officers is what you are saying? And you did post a link misleading folks to think there were facts there that turn out not to be the case?

why would WikiLeaks ask them to do that if Assange was suggesting Seth was a source to the point of offering $20k for information. If you are gonna peddle alt right stuff you should at least be well versed. Assange fanned the flames even higher on August 25, 2016, when he was asked in a television interview, "Why are you so interested in Seth Rich's killer?" "We're very interested in anything that might be a threat to alleged Wikileaks sources,” Assange answered. “If there's someone who's potentially connected to our publication, and that person has been murdered in suspicious circumstances, it doesn't necessarily mean that the two are connected. But it is a very serious matter .. that type of allegation is very serious, as it's taken very seriously by us." So you posted a link proving your point without checking to see if that was even valid? Okay back to the question - who are these supposed intel officers who support the Seth Rich conspiracy?

and that supports the Seth Rich conspiracy how? A quick search notes neither of those links even mentions Seth nor makes any suggestion he was involved. Sorry you are still in the alt right conspiracy fold...which considering it's Russian leanings does not surprise me but it does sadden me. I can accept having a political bent towards being skeptical of the west, but being essentially a mouthpiece for alt right conspiracies on this forum that generally benefit Russia.. yeah that is a bummer. No it doesn't show open mindedness at all. which was where this started. You haven't been able to defend the whole journalism thing comment or the US being the most lethal country ever nor probably a dozen other items you have put out there as established fact. You change subject, make references to proof that ends up not being anything at all and generally drive a smoke screen instead of being able to argue facts. The US is certainly guilty of a lot of bad s**t. As someone who has actually done time opposing those policies I do have a leg to stand on and an ability to be objective of when my country is being f**ked up. However none of that excuses Russian behavior or validates it. Russian stands on it's own to be evaluated for it's actions no different than the US. Not excused for everything with "but what about your western..." No we do not systematically kill our journalists other than on Twitter. It is NOT all equal. Unlike what Putin says Liberalism (meaning democracy) is NOT dead.

Care to name the intelligence officers you cited or is that from another of those conspiracy sites. You really have no grounds to comment on JKs stuff. Among Hannity’s guests that week who echoed his version of events was conservative lawyer Jay Sekulow. Although neither he nor Hannity mentioned it, Sekulow had just been hired as one of Trump’s lead lawyers in the Russia investigation. “It sure doesn’t look like a robbery,” said Sekulow on Hannity’s show on May 18, 2017, during a segment devoted to the Rich case. “There’s one thing this thing undercuts is this whole Russia argument, [which] is such subterfuge,” he added. In fact, the Fox story was a “complete fabrication,” said Sines, who consulted with the FBI about the Fox News claims. There was “no connection between Seth and WikiLeaks. And there was no evidence on his work computer of him downloading and disseminating things from the DNC.” (A spokeswoman for the FBI’s Washington field office said the office had never opened an investigation into Rich’s murder, considering it a local crime for which the Washington Metropolitan Police Department had jurisdiction. Andrew McCabe, the FBI’s acting director at the time, said in an interview that he reached out to his agents after he heard about the conspiracy stories about Rich and was told, “There’s no there there.”) After eight days of controversy, Fox News was forced to retract the story after one of its two key sources, former Washington, D.C., homicide detective Rod Wheeler, backed away from comments he had given the Fox News website reporter Malia Zimmerman and a local Fox affiliate reporter confirming the account. The article, the network said in a statement at the time, “was not initially subjected to the high degree of editorial scrutiny we require for all our reporting.” Fox News later announced it was conducting an internal investigation into how the story came to be posted on its website. The results have never been disclosed, and a spokeswoman for Fox News declined to comment, citing ongoing litigation against the news network brought by the Rich family.

you should read more current news. You keep interesting company - though consistent. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/exclusive-the-true-origins-of-the-seth-rich-conspiracy-theory-a-yahoo-news-investigation/ar-AAE4x4n?ocid=spartanntp Stone, Bannon Fox news Hannity....

ahh so you did fall for that conspiracy crap. nah he was not and an simple perusal without bias would show that, but Roger Stone and Steve Bannon would like you to think otherwise as it certainly conveniently leaves the Assange Russia connection moot. You are free to stop responding but as long as this BS conspiracy crap keeps getting posted to support this BS line that somehow Russia murdering journalists is equated in the west, then I am gonna keep calling it. All we have to do is stop and let the thread go back to the OP.

ahh but you are. I contest that the US is the most lethal in history, that sounds like a bit of hyperbole, though the US certainly has enough blood on it's hands there are other very serious contenders for that title. Your extreme antipathy for the US is noted however. Bias some would call it. A little googling though may shed some different perspective - for example the An Lushan rebellion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Lushan_Rebellion Certainly the genocide of Native Americans by the United States is one of the greater blights on our history, but if you consider the total number of Native people's killed since Europeans first landed in the new world, the lion's share goes to Spain. So how exactly did you conclude the US is the most lethal? Any specific criteria? Nice attempt to sidestep, but let's get back to the journalism stuff. You started down this path making a claim so let's just stay focused here and see if your position has any merit. Onto michael hastings let's start with his family In an interview with writer Ray Sawhill, Hasting’s older brother, Jonathan Hastings, recounts how he had flown to L.A. to help his brother shortly before the accident because he had “got the impression that he was having a manic episode, similar to one he had had 15 years ago…”, at which time “drugs had been involved…” After failing to convince his brother to check voluntarily into a drug re-habilitation program, or fly back to Vermont to stay with family, he started making plans with his other brother to attempt to “force Mike into checking himself into a hospital or detox center.” However before that could be arranged, “he snuck out [of the apartment] on me when I was sleeping.” and had crashed shortly afterward. When asked directly whether his brother might have died from some sort of foul play, Jonathan responded “I really rule out foul play entirely. I might have been suspicious if I hadn’t been with him the day before he died. After all, he definitely was investigating and writing about a lot of sensitive subjects. But based on being with him and talking to people who were worried about him in the weeks leading up to his death, and being around him when he had had similar problems when he was younger, I was pretty much convinced that he wasn’t in danger from any outside agency.” nope nothing at all there that might alter the conspiracy minded. And that is not a NYT article - it is the New Yorker just to be clear. And if you read it to the end it looks very similar to what the brother said above.... yeah I don't see an assassination move here either. so you came up with two. I am surprised you didn't go for Seth Rich, that little conspiracy keeps popping up with the alt right. my turn. On October 7, 2006, Anna Politkovskaya, a vocal critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin was shot five times in the lobby of her apartment building. In March 2007, Ivan Safronov, who was investigating the sale of Russian arms to Iran and Syria, died after falling from a fifth-floor window. It was ruled a suicide. In November 2009, independent broadcaster Olga Kotovskaya fell to her death from a 14th-floor window. She had been battling for control of her station with a member of the government. Her death was also ruled a suicide. In February 2012, Victor Aphanasenko, editor of a newspaper that had been investigating paramilitary raids in southern Russia, died after slipping in his home. In November 2015, Mikhail Lesin, who was often described as President Vladimir Putin's state media czar but who had fallen out of favor with him, was found dead after a fall in his hotel room in Washington, D.C. The FBI says he fell from extreme drinking and had "blunt force trauma to the head" and injuries to his neck, arms, legs and torso. That must have been some fall. In March 2017, Nikolai Gorokhov, the lawyer for Sergei Magnitsky, who was the source of reporting on Russia's largest tax fraud, fell from a fourth-story window while trying to move a bathtub. Russian authorities made that explanation with a straight face. Maybe Maxim Borodin was depressed in ways his friends just didn't recognize and threw himself off of his fifth-floor balcony this week in Yekaterinburg, Russia. Maxim Borodin was 32 and a reporter for the local Novy Den website, for which he had done tough stories about crime and political corruption, including Yevgeny Prigozhin, an oligarch indicted by the United States for running the "troll factory" that helped Russia try to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Maxim Borodin wasn't just reporting on the latest craze in spa treatments. Reporters in Russia should always get 1st floor apartments. Preferably with more secure lobbys.

and for some expedience is required more often than others...…….especially of the fatal kind.

ooh sweet. from back in the 90s so you get credit for digging - Okay let's chew on this one. Let's start here A conspiracy theory developed around the case, with allegations that "back doors" had been inserted into the software so that whomever the Justice Department had sold it to could be spied upon. The major source on the conspiracy-theory aspect of the case, both for Hamilton and, later, for Casolaro, was Michael Riconosciuto, described by Rosenbaum as a "rogue scientist/weapons designer/platinum miner/alleged crystal-meth manufacturer... ."[6] Riconoscuito had been introduced to a friend of Casolaro's by Jeff Steinberg, a longtime top aide in the LaRouche organization.[8] Excellent source!!!! And then there is this really insightful comment I guess you missed below the video. M.I.A. 4 years ago I'm hiding in fear of losing my life, buuutt, however will show myself on national TV... Come on people, think logically.

peacekeepers? rotflmao you mean piecekeepers as in we'll keep a piece. and tell me exactly how many US journalists have been killed for stories the US gov't might not want told? C'mon after that little comment you must have a number right? Cite a source? c'mon man this is your big moment to show how Russia being one of the most dangerous places on earth for journalists is no different than the west. Oh boy where is the popcorn? `

Speed pants. I gotta have em!

What dictators? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_journalists_killed_in_Russia

And we generally don’t kill our journalists. Not usually anyway.

Dude I turned 60 I am too old to work on furthering my education. My goal now is to try not to forget too much!

So close! But still that bit of denial. Don’t worry though son you are making progress! Pretty soon you’ll be able to look at it without trying to qualify your response by pointing at something else, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. in the meantime we can try some practice work. Statement 1 - The us invasion of Iraq was a poorly thought out, mis guided and disastrous attempt to impose nation building philosophy completely ignoring all the hard won lessons from previous experiences and based on a series of intentional lies put forward by the White House . statement 2 Russian actions in Eastern Europe in particular are ill disguised ventures to undermine democratic forces to protect the hegemony of the Russian state frequently flaunting all international laws and sovereignty of the target nations We will review next week and check your progress.

It may save you time if order processing gets bogged down.

Really you disagree that Putin is a brutal dictator? Forget your bias of Russia versus US this isn’t about the US this is a simple statement of fact. Is he a brutal dictator or not?

No simply a fact. Putin is a brutal dictator. That you could find anything to admire there is sad.

That is pretty sad.

Uh no, Russia adamantly denied those were it’s troops. NATO sent theirs publicly. The description “little Greek men” stemmed directly from this as if they were from Mars. the fracture of Yugoslavia is a whole other subject and frankly probably doesn‘t have a good answer similar to border issues in the Middle East. Stating however that Serbian borders had been there for generations completely ignores Serbian history before and under Yugoslavia and the ongoing strife within that country. Eastern Kosovo was ceded to the Kingdom of Serbia in 1913. The border has in fact been fluid for generations ignoring the underlying population demographics. Hell there is a reason balkanization is a word.

my head hurts. I DL'd Elvis scenarios and tested them. Sure enough nothing like what I am seeing. So then I decided to see if I can induce the behavior in his by altering it to look like one I am using where I can induce the behavior (and it is brand new). No dice. 2 scenarios, both new, very similar. One I can induce the behavior, one I can not. Even in the same scenario where I can induce the behavior it is not uniform. The inconsistency is a problem. There isn't anything to point at and say fix that if one unit reacts wrong and another doesn't...what are you fixing? grrrrrrrrr
