    Filmmaker murdered by W. Bank "settler"

    The documentary No Other Land shows the series of pogroms carried out by murderous Israeli "settlers" in Masafer Yatta to drive out the Palestinians who live and farm there.

    Now Awdah Hathaleen, one of the film makers, has been murdered in another such pogrom.

    The violence started with undisguised sabotage: driving a bulldozer through trees (probably olive trees).

    Maurene Comey V Ghislaine Maxwel

    The saboteur in chief arbitrarily fired a federal prosecutor. He stated no cause for this, but it may be to punish her for prosecuting Epstein's criminal helper, Maxwell. Or it may be to punish her for her father's suspicion of the saboteur in chief a few years ago. Either way, it is unjustified and wrong.

    Trump's playbook

    *We still debate whether Trumpism is a substantial ideology or not; what we are missing is that Trumpism, for sure, is a set of tactics for exploiting weaknesses in the US political, legal and media systems.*

    *An administration that faces one or two big scandals in a four-year period may well be damaged beyond repair; one that produces three very big scandals a day seems to have nothing to worry about since no one can keep up. It is difficult to stick with one story, as the newest outrage already appears so much bigger (the Qatar plane scandal can feel like it happened years ago).*
