Politicians give people $ to spend on politicians

You can’t make up this stuff; there you go again; something entirely different.

“Seattle politicians raised property taxes and converted part of the funds into city scrip that can only be spent on … Seattle politicians. And if voters don’t spend it on Seattle politicians, then the money ends up in the hands of … Seattle politicians. Even critics have to be impressed with a scam designed that efficiently.”

This is called the Democracy Voucher Program. This site explains why the program is all peachy keen:

Changing

On some posts, I'm going to refer to myself as "Former Military Intelligence Analyst," because I am, and that seems to lend weight to writings, one identifying oneself as once having something to do with MI. We won't get into job details, like Russian forces have the capability to (CLASSIFIED), or U.S. intelligence spies on (CLASSIFIED) by (CLASSIFIED).

‘US intel report …’ Am I on the comics page?

“U.S. intelligence officials confirmed in a declassified report that a Kremlin-controlled media outlet ran programming critical of hydraulic fracturing to ward off challenges to Russia’s energy empire.

“Officials reported that RT, which they call the ‘Kremlin’s principal international propaganda outlet,’ ran ‘anti-fracking programming, highlighting environmental issues and the impacts on public health.’”

My gosh, we have oil “industry experts,” intelligence “officials” and environmental wackos on the same side? Well, they can’t all be wrong, so it’s obvious the Russians are … doing something.

RT TV was a daily check at my Arkansas residence, but Spectrum in Florida doesn’t have that network. RT, like Russia Insider is flagrant propaganda and anyone watching or reading has to understand that. It’s not like watching CNN, the world’s most trusted news network. (Sarcasm.)

These days, any mention of “intelligence officials” activates my BS meter, as does “climate experts” or “Middle East experts,” or almost any other “expert.” Politicians claim to believe and respect intelligence experts – when the experts agree with politicians’ opinions.

Check everything!

A little Russian pushback on leftist British press propaganda

Russian sappers armed with bomb-sniffing dogs and robotic mine detectors clear unexploded ordinance from East Aleppo, or as Daily Mail sees operation -- “utter devastation.”

Russia Insider is flagrantly propagandist, but a little leveling is always good for the mind overwhelmed by Democratic/Progressive/Labour agitation.

Some Oklahomans and some Feds got in a tiff

Feds: You’re town is bigger than that.

Oks: No it’s not.

In 2000, the Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture said the population of Hillsdale was 87. The federal census said the population was 101. More than likely, the feds won, but that hardly means Oklahoma agrees.

That state just north of Texas has a history of disagreeing with Washington, as did the people there before Oklahoma became a state in 1907.

In the War of Northern Aggression, 1861-65, the Five Civilized Tribes agreed with the Confederate States of America that the Federal government continued violating various Constitutional protections, and said Tribes – Choctaw, Chickasaw, Cherokee, Seminole and Muskogee Creek went to war with the government to the Northeast.

Not having anything to do with war, but Hillsdale’s 2010 population was 121, an increase of 19.2% more than 2000.

Hillsdale’s population is 97% white, around 5% Hispanic or Latino and about 3% from two or more races. That’s 105%, which is a good confusion to federal numbers crunchers.

On poverty statistics, 14.3% of families, 16% of the total population and 20.6% under 18 subsisted below the poverty line. Those over 64 below the poverty line totaled 0%.

Hillsdale is in Garfield County, in North Central Oklahoma. It's a nice looking place, if you are into flat land and few trees.
