Comey’s private memos on Trump conversations contained classified material

Amid the constant media outrage over everything Trump, Trump, Trump, some might have forgotten that in the political rollercoaster over the past 12 months, there were numerous other high-profile individuals involved, including not only former DOJ head Loretta Lynch, whose every interaction with the Clinton campaign is about to be probed under a Congressional microscope, but the man who some say started it all: former FBI Director James Comey.

That's when the problems escalated, because according to The Hill - which for the first time disclosed that the total number of memos linked to Comey's nine conversations with Trump - when the seven memos Comey wrote regarding his nine conversations with Trump about Russia earlier this year were shown to Congress in recent days, the FBI claimed all were, in fact, deemed to be government documents.

Oops. As The Hill reveals, four, or more than half, of the seven memos had markings making clear they contained information classified at the “secret” or “confidential” level, according to officials directly familiar with the matter.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-g20-climatechange-turkey-idUSKBN19T11R

>HAMBURG (Reuters) - The U.S. decision to pull out of the Paris climate agreement means Turkey is less inclined to ratify the deal because the U.S. move jeopardizes compensation promised to developing countries, President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday.

>Erdogan was speaking at the G20 summit in Germany where leaders from the world's leading economies broke with U.S. President Donald Trump over climate policy, following his announcement last month that he was withdrawing from the accord.

>Erdogan said that when Turkey signed the accord France had promised that Turkey would be eligible for compensation for some of the financial costs of compliance.

>"So we said if this would happen, the agreement would pass through parliament. But otherwise it won't pass," Erdogan told a news conference, adding that parliament had not yet approved it.

>"Therefore, after this step taken by the United States, our position steers a course towards not passing this from the parliament," he said.

>German Chancellor Angela Merkel closed the G20 summit in Hamburg with a rebuke to US President Donald Trump’s stance on climate change, but appeared to make a concession on his protectionist trade policies.

>Merkel said she deplored the US’ decision to pull out of the Paris climate change agreement and said that all other 19 nations in the G20 remained committed to it.

>Trump faced a chorus of global outrage last month when he announced he would withdraw the US from the accord, which obliges countries to reduce their carbon emissions to ward off catastrophic global warming.

>The communiqe from the group of 19 countries and the European Union noted the US’ withdrawal from the accord but said the country affirmed its “strong commitment to an approach that lowers emissions while supporting economic growth and improving energy security needs.”

>In her remarks, Merkel appeared to come down hard on Trump’s protectionist trade policies, saying she was glad that leaders agreed that “markets need to be kept open.”

>“This is all about fighting protectionism and also unfair trade practices.”

>But the final communique made concessions for “the role of legitimate trade defense instruments.”

CNN, rocked by a fake news scandal and accusations of blackmail, is taking a significant hit in its primetime ratings, losing not only to Fox News and MSNBC, but also to FX, TLC, The Discovery Channel — and even children’s TV network Nick-at-Nite.

The network was hit last month by an embarrassing fake news scandal in which it was forced to retract an article on alleged ties between a Russian investment fund and members of Trump’s campaign team. Three employees resigned in relation to the scandal.

But it has also been dogged by tapes suggesting that some of its employees believe the Russia-Trump controversy is “bullshit,” and just this week the network was widely condemned for having gone after the alleged creator of an anti-CNN meme that President Trump later tweeted. The hashtag #CNNBlackmail quickly went viral online.

It appears the network is suffering in the ratings as a result. As first reported by The Federalist, cable ratings for June 26 — July 2 show that while Fox and MSNBC occupy the first and second slots for ratings 8 p.m. – 11 p.m., CNN is in 13th place.

This means that the “most trusted name in news is being beaten by Fox News, MSNBC, HGTV, USA Network, TBS Network, the History Channel, ESPN, the Discovery Channel, FX, TLC, Nick-at-Nite, and Investigation Discovery.

A dearth of marriagable men has left an “oversupply” of educated women taking desperate steps to preserve their fertility, experts say.

https://archive.fo/s9Omm

The first global study into egg freezing found that shortages of eligible men were the prime reason why women had attempted to take matters into their own hands. Experts said “terrifying” demographic shifts had created a “deficit” of educated men and a growing problem of “leftover” professional women, with female graduates vastly outnumbering males in in many countries. The study led by Yale University, involved interviews with 150 women undergoing egg freezing at eight clinics.

Researchers found that in more than 90 per cent of cases, the women were attempting to buy extra time because they could not find a partner to settle down with, amid a “dearth of educated men”. Experts said the research bust the myth that “selfish career women” were choosing to out their fertility on ice in a bid to put their careers first.

In recent decades, the gender balance at British universities has tipped dramatically. In 1985, 45 per cent of UK students were female, but by 2000, 54 per cent were women. This group, now in their late 30s, is finding it harder to find a man of equal status, fertility experts said. And the trend is set to steepen in future generations, they warned, with nearly six in ten current students female.

The research, presented at the European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology conference in Geneva, was based on detailed interviews with women in the United States, and Israel. But the lead author said similar trends were likely in the UK, where women are 35 per cent more likely than men to go to university. Prof Marcia Inhorn, Professor of Anthopolgy at Yale University, said professional women found themselves losing out in a game of “musical chairs” because there were simply too few men of the same calibre to go around.

>President Donald Trump’s former top campaign official in the state of Kentucky is behind bars facing a long list of sex abuse charges against women and minor girls, who he reportedly coerced into performing sex acts against their will by using “money, drugs, housing, threats to call the probation office, and violent acts.”

>The Associated Press reported Sunday that former Judge Tim Nolan’s bond was set high at $750,000 by Judge Elizabeth Chandler, who looked at the extensive list of charges against Nolan and deemed him “a danger to the community.”

>Prosecutors allege that Nolan forced himself on 17 women and girls over the course of seven years. He is currently in the Campbell County Jail awaiting trial.

>Nolan’s fall from Republican power player in the state to alleged sexual predator has taken many by surprise. At 70, Nolan has spent decades cultivating relationships, wheeling and dealing among the Republican elite in Louisville and beyond. He is “a fixture at Tea Party rallies and local government meetings,” and ran Trump’s 2016 campaign in the state.

>The former judge is charged with human trafficking, rape, prostitution, witness tampering and unlawful transaction with a minor. He faces a total of 20 felonies counts and two misdemeanors. Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear’s office said that five of the 17 victims currently known to them are minors.

>The sex trafficking charges against Nolan reportedly date to incidents that took place in August, 2016, when he was serving as the Trump campaign’s state chair, the AP said.

>Earlier this year, Nolan posted a photo of the Ku Klux Klan on this Facebook wall, resulting in the loss of his position as state chair of the Kentucky Boxing and Wrestling Commission.

>If convicted of all charges, Nolan faces more than 100 years in prison.

Pizzagate was a distraction against this. It's a common technique propagandists use. They "soften the blow" for upcoming scandals their side faces by first creating a fake scandal of the same nature attributed to their enemies. Then when the real story breaks, all the people who have been brainwashed will be more likely to dismiss the real charge as a distraction or to see it as a much smaller issue than the fake issue they heard about first. If your side does something egregious enough to actually lose loyal brainwashed sheep, you need to also implicate the other side in the same thing so you don't lose them. The pedo ring inside the GOP goes much deeper than this and Trump was personally involved. Remember he was accused of raping a 13 year old girl by multiple witnesses and hung out with serial child rapist Jeffrey Epstein.

>ExxonMobil executives repeatedly claim their company supports a federal carbon tax and the Paris climate agreement. The company’s checkbook ledger, however, tells a far different story.

>Yesterday, the company released its annual list of its “public information and policy research” grantees, which shows that it spent $1.65 million in 2016 on a dozen think tanks, advocacy groups and associations that contest climate science and oppose both the Paris accord and a carbon tax—the very policies the company professes to endorse. Last year’s outlay boosted the total of the company’s expenditures on climate disinformation over the last two decades to $34.6 million.

>Chamber of Horrors

>Most of ExxonMobil’s spending on denier groups last year — 87 percent — went to four organizations: the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, American Enterprise Institute, Manhattan Institute and American Legislative Exchange Council.

>ExxonMobil gave more than half of last year’s kitty — a cool $1 million — to the Chamber, which provided President Trump with a key, but fraudulent, rationale for pulling out of the Paris agreement. Parroting a recent report funded by the Chamber and the American Council for Capital Formation (ACCF) ― which received $1.78 million from ExxonMobil between 2000 and 2015 ― Trump claimed that over the next several decades the accord would cost the U.S. economy nearly $3 trillion and, by 2040, eliminate 6.5 million industrial sector jobs.

>The Associated Press (AP), Politifact and The Washington Post factchecked the speech and arrived at similar conclusions: The Chamber and ACCF cooked the books.

>“The study makes worst-case assumptions that may inflate the cost of meeting U.S. targets under the Paris accord while largely ignoring the economic benefits to U.S. businesses from building and operating renewable energy projects,” AP reporters Michael Biescker and Paul Wiseman pointed out. “Academic studies have found that increased environmental regulation doesn’t actually have much impact on employment. Jobs lost at polluting companies tend to be offset by new jobs in green technology.”
>>
>The Chamber, which has a long history of denying climate science, made similar dire warnings about job losses in a 2014 report analyzing the Obama administration’s Clean Power Plan. That report used flawed assumptions to magnify the carbon rule’s cost and exaggerate job losses and, like its recent report on the Paris agreement, didn’t factor in the carbon rule’s considerable benefits.

>The Market Will Take Care of It

?The next biggest ExxonMobil grant last year — $235,000 — went to the American Enterprise Institute, which had already received $4.1 million from the company between 1998 and 2015. AEI economist Benjamin Zycher addresses climate issues more than anyone else these days at the free-market think tank, and his views are diametrically opposed to ExxonMobil’s professed positions. He disputes the conclusions of mainstream climate science, insists that a carbon tax would be “ineffective,” and calls the Paris agreement an “absurdity.”

>Zycher’s colleague Mark Thiessen, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, is also no fan of the international accord. In a June 2 essay, he cited numbers from the Chamber’s discredited report and maintained that “our emissions will arguably decline faster because of Trump’s withdrawal — because our free market economy will be stronger and more innovative without it.”
>>
>Wind Energy Blows

>The Manhattan Institute, which received $705,000 from ExxonMobil between 2006 and 2015, pulled in another $135,000 from the company last year. Staffers there aren’t too keen on the carbon tax or the Paris agreement, either. Senior Fellow Oren Cass, who previously worked at Mitt Romney’s old firm Bain & Company, calls the accord a “fraud” and argues that a carbon tax would be “bad for the country” and “bad for the economy.”

>Another senior fellow at the libertarian think tank, Robert Bryce, previously worked as a newspaper reporter and for the Institute for Energy Research, a former ExxonMobil grantee that is largely underwritten by the Koch brothers. A self-styled agnostic about climate change, Bryce regularly attacks renewable energy. He especially loves to bash wind, carping about the industry’s temporary federal tax breaks over the last 20 years and its threat to birds. Never mind that the oil and gas industry received an average of $4.86 billion a year (in 2010 dollars) in permanent federal subsidies between 1918 and 2009 (that continue to today) or that oil and gas industry fluid waste pits kill roughly three times more birds a year than wind turbines. Bryce never mentions either of those salient facts.

https://thsresearch.files.wordpress.com/2017/05/ef-gast-data-research-report-062717.pdf

A new study found adjustments made to global surface temperature readings by scientists in recent years “are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data.”

“Thus, it is impossible to conclude from the three published GAST data sets that recent years have been the warmest ever – despite current claims of record setting warming,” according to a study published June 27 by two scientists and a veteran statistician.

The peer-reviewed study tried to validate current surface temperature datasets managed by NASA, NOAA and the UK’s Met Office, all of which make adjustments to raw thermometer readings. Skeptics of man-made global warming have criticized the adjustments.

Climate scientists often apply adjustments to surface temperature thermometers to account for “biases” in the data. The new study doesn’t question the adjustments themselves but notes nearly all of them increase the warming trend.

Basically, “cyclical pattern in the earlier reported data has very nearly been ‘adjusted’ out” of temperature readings taken from weather stations, buoys, ships and other sources.

In fact, almost all the surface temperature warming adjustments cool past temperatures and warm more current records, increasing the warming trend, according to the study’s authors.

“Nearly all of the warming they are now showing are in the adjustments,” Meteorologist Joe D’Aleo, a study co-author, told The Daily Caller News Foundation in an interview. “Each dataset pushed down the 1940s warming and pushed up the current warming.”


“You would think that when you make adjustments you’d sometimes get warming and sometimes get cooling.

http://dailycaller.com/2017/07/05/exclusive-study-finds-temperature-adjustments-account-for-nearly-all-of-the-warming-in-climate-data/
>>
That’s almost never happened,” said D’Aleo, who co-authored the study with statistician James Wallace and Cato Institute climate scientist Craig Idso.

Their study found measurements “nearly always exhibited a steeper warming linear trend over its entire history,” which was “nearly always accomplished by systematically removing the previously existing cyclical temperature pattern.”

“The conclusive findings of this research are that the three [global average surface temperature] data sets are not a valid representation of reality,” the study found. “In fact, the magnitude of their historical data adjustments, that removed their cyclical temperature patterns, are totally inconsistent with published and credible U.S. and other temperature data.”

Based on these results, the study’s authors claim the science underpinning the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) authority to regulate greenhouse gases “is invalidated.”

The new study will be included in petitions by conservative groups to the EPA to reconsider the 2009 endangerment finding, which gave the agency its legal authority to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

Sam Kazman, an attorney with the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), said the study added an “important new piece of evidence to this debate” over whether to reopen the endangerment finding. CEI petitioned EPA to reopen the endangerment finding in February.

“I think this adds a very strong new element to it,” Kazman told TheDCNF. “It’s enough reason to open things formally and open public comment on the charges we make.”

Since President Donald Trump ordered EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt to review the Clean Power Plan, there’s been speculation the administration would reopen the endangerment finding to new scrutiny.

The Obama-era document used three lines of evidence to claim such emissions from vehicles “endanger both the public health and the public welfare of current and future generations.”

Mayak, a Russian satellite that will become one of the brightest stars in the night sky

Their goal is to make the unique satellite bright with the use of a giant reflective sheet of material, but some scientists are warning that there may be negative consequences.

The satellite is small, roughly the size of a loaf of bread and in the form of a CubeSat. It will be launched on a Soyuz 2.1v vehicle on Friday, July 14, from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, as a secondary payload. The project, led by Moscow State Mechanical Engineering University (MAMI), raised more than $30,000 on Russian crowdfunding website Boomstarter.

Once in orbit, about 600 kilometers (370 miles) high, the satellite is designed to unfurl a giant pyramid-shaped solar reflector.

But it runs the risk of a backlash from scientific and environmental groups, depending on how bright it is. Some, like Russia Today, have suggested it may shine as bright as the Moon, although that is questionable. Nonetheless, if it is excessively bright, it could cause havoc for astronomers who rely on darkness to observe the universe.

“We fight so hard for dark skies in and around our planet,” Nick Howes, an astronomer and former deputy director of the Kielder Observatory in Northumberland, told IFLScience.

“To see this being potentially ruined by some ridiculous crowdfunded nonsense makes my heart simply despair.”
Skeptics won’t keep the satellite from launching though. Russia will put Mayak in space in about two weeks, on July 14. We’ll have to wait to see just how bright it is and if it’s bright enough to warrant complaints from scientists.

It says a lot about the current state of science that we're more willing to fund vanity project sending glorified mirrors (even the project team admits there's no practical scientific purpose) into orbit than actually practical research that could broaden our understanding of the universe.
>>
I hope it burns up during launch, or otherwise gets destroyed.
>>
>>153222
Even worse, because all that investment will have been for nought.

Still, I'm worried about the increasing capability for private satellite launches. In the future, sufficiently funded groups of scientists and engineers will be able to send whatever they want into orbit whenever they want, instead of piggybacking on space agency launch vehicles.

If you thought space-junk was bad now, imagine the carnage of hundreds of thousands of private satellites like this one clogging up the atmosphere. I get the feeling new regulations are about to be written in the near future.

(image: In this Oct. 20, 2014 frame from dash-cam video provided by the Chicago Police Department, Laquan McDonald, right, walks down the street moments before being fatally shot by CPD officer Jason Van Dyke sixteen times in Chicago.)

Three current or former Chicago Police officers have been indicted on state charges of conspiracy, obstruction of justice and misconduct for allegedly trying to "conceal the true facts" in the fatal police-involved shooting death of Laquan McDonald, prosecutors announced Tuesday.

>A Cook County special grand jury filed the charges against Detective David March and patrol officers Joseph Walsh and Thomas Gaffney for actions they took in the aftermath of the fatal shooting of 17-year-old McDonald in 2014. McDonald's controversial death led to first-degree murder charges against officer Jason Van Dyke.

>“The indictment makes clear that these defendants did more than merely obey an unofficial ‘code of silence,’ rather it alleges that they lied about what occurred to prevent independent criminal investigators from learning the truth,” said Patricia Brown Holmes, the Cook County special prosecutor who has been probing a possible coverup by officers at the scene.

>Van Dyke was charged with murder in November 2015 on the same day the city of Chicago released chilling dashcam video that showed the officer firing 16 shots at McDonald, who was armed with a small knife and appeared to be running away from police. He has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial.

Good. All corrupt cops should go to jail. Obeying the blue line is often a punishable offence that goes unpunished. There should be more repercussions for these scumbag "officers". I hope they all go to jail! But knowing how this works, they'll probably just lose their status - a pathetically weak sentence. All corrupt cops belong in jail, where I'm sure they'll get a warm, throbbing welcome from the local inmate populace.

Great idea. Chase away the last remaining cops. Maybe then when Nigger gangs take over the city over completely, when Chicagos annual murders go over the 10000 mark, then life will be perfect.

President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin had “positive chemistry” and “connected very quickly” in their first-ever face-to-face meeting in Germany on Friday, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said.

>The meeting was scheduled to last for 30 minutes but went on for more than two hours, Tillerson said, because “there was just such a level of engagement and exchange that neither one of them wanted to stop.”

>At one point, Tillerson described how first lady Melania Trump stuck her head in the door “to see if she could get us out of there.”

>“That didn’t work either,” Tillerson said, laughing.

>During the meeting, Trump confronted Putin about Russian meddling in the United States' 2016 presidential election, something he has been under intense pressure to do.

>Trump broached that topic first, according to Tillerson, and repeatedly pressed Putin on the matter, even as the Russian president denied involvement. The leaders agreed on a bilateral framework to address Russian cyberattacks going forward.

>But if the talk started on a confrontational note, it appears the atmosphere quickly turned more cordial.

>Tillerson’s descriptions of the meeting were in line with photos, which showed Trump and Putin smiling, leaning forward in their chairs and at ease ahead of the high-stakes encounter.

>The meeting could be the start of warming ties between the U.S. and Russia under Trump, turning the page on the tensions that defined the relationship under former President Barack Obama.

>Tillerson signaled that the Trump administration is ready to put the past behind it as it seeks new ways to engage with Russia.

>“There was not a lot of re-litigating the past,” Tillerson said. “I think both of the leaders feel like there's a lot of things in the past that both of us are unhappy about. We're unhappy. They're unhappy. I think the perspective of both of them was, this is a really important relationship. … How do we start making this work? How do we live with one another? How do we work with one another?

>“We simply have to find a way to go forward, and I think that was expressed over and over, multiple times, I think by both presidents.”

>Trump and Putin came to one agreement on Friday.

>The U.S. and Russia, which have been supporting opposing sides in the Syrian civil war, agreed on Friday to a cease-fire in the southwest corner of the country, news of which emerged as the meeting was still underway.

>Briefing reporters afterwards, Tillerson said the U.S. objectives in Syria “are exactly the same” as Russia’s. He indicated that there might be further opportunities for cooperation.

>“There's a lot more commonality to that than there are differences, so we want to build on the commonality and we spent a lot of time talking about next steps,” Tillerson said. “And then where there's differences, we have more work to get together and understand. Maybe they've got the right approach and we've got the wrong approach.”

>Still, Tillerson said Trump communicated to Putin that the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad, which is being propped up by Russia, must go for there to be stability and peace in Syria.

>And further international disagreements linger in Ukraine, where the U.S. is seeking to implement the 2015 Minsk agreement to halt fighting in the Eastern region.

>Ukraine's government has accused Moscow of supporting pro-Russian separatists there, an allegation the Kremlin has denied.
>>
>Furthermore, while Trump broached the issue of campaign meddling, he will be under intense pressure when he returns home to ensure the integrity of U.S. elections and to punish Russia for any violations.

>Putin refused to acknowledge wrongdoing, something that Tillerson acknowledged would continue to hang over U.S.-Russia relations.

>“It's too important to not find a way to move forward,” Tillerson said. “I’m not dismissing the [election meddling] issue in any way, and that is why we've agreed to continue engagement and discussion around how we secure a commitment that the Russian government has no intention of and will not interfere in our affairs in the future.”

>“I think, again, the president's rightly focused on how do we move forward from what may be simply an intractable disagreement at this point,” Tillerson said.

>Obama after the election punished Russia for its meddling by imposing economic sanctions on the country and seizing two Russian compounds in the U.S. that intelligence officials say were used for spying. Obama also expelled 35 Russian diplomats.

>Russia has pressed for the compounds to be returned, but it is unclear whether Trump and Putin discussed the matter on Friday.

>A group of senators on Thursday warned Trump not to return the compounds to Russia, saying such a step would embolden Putin.

>"The return of these two facilities to Russia while the Kremlin refuses to address its influence campaign against the United States would embolden President Vladimir Putin and invite a dangerous escalation in the Kremlin’s destabilizing actions against democracies worldwide," wrote Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.) and GOP Sens. Marco Rubio (Fla.) and Johnny Isakson (Ga.).

>emotional support animals
so the dog owners were fraudulently claiming their dogs as service animals, and karma bites them in the ass. Poor dogs, they didn't deserve that, but the owners did.

It's really strange that people value the life of a fucking dog over a police officer responding to a potential burglary.

Ask Whitey. Everyone knows it was him.

Maybe the curators should look more closely at their pottery collection.

>“Those paintings are gone,” said Erin Thompson, professor of art crime at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. “Either because they were destroyed immediately after they were stolen, or because they’ve already been beaten up so badly by being moved around in the back of cars.”

Fucking niggers. I hate them almost as much as I hate the people who buy the stolen art from them and then lock it away in a "private collection" where no one ever gets to see it again.
