      I had one damn errand to run after another. It’s amazing how much time that can take. Spent time helping my brother with some house stuff. And then there was the staff holiday party on Saturday night. It actually wasn’t too bad. And here we are on Monday. I’ve got two weeks off starting Friday afternoon and I’m living for that. Oink!

Thanks for the link about ProctorU. My kids are already paranoid about Big Brother. They will appreciate being forewarned about any fucked up interview processes.

  It’s certainly a guarantee I’ll not be pursuing a position with Amazon. I can’t imagine what kind of malfunctioning humans could put up with such a process.

Wells Fargo Fake Accounts Scandal Spreads To Life Insurance Business

Today, Prudential Financial announced it would suspend the distribution of a low-cost life insurance policy through Wells Fargo.The low-cost life insurance policy, called MyTerm, had been promoted by Wells Fargo since 2014 throughout its large number of retail banking outlets.

The suspension comes shortly after a wrongful termination lawsuit was filed by three former Prudential employees, which alleged that Wells Fargo employees signed up customers for MyTerm life insurance policies without the customer’s knowledge to hit sales goals. The plaintiffs, who worked at Prudential’s
corporate investigations division, claim their reports of the fraud led to their termination because Prudential management did not want to take any action that could damage its business with Wells Fargo.

If true, those allegations would fit an already established pattern of Wells Fargo employees creating fake customer checking, saving, and credit card accounts. The resulting scandal from those revelations led to Wells Fargo being fined $185 million and the resignation of the CEO, John Stumpf.

US police get ADL-sponsored counter-terror training in Israel

The article below provides a clear glimpse of why the US police has undergone such a change in it’s tactics and techniques – because they have been trained in Israel. Israel is a police state with Apartheid policies, it’s police are a paramilitary force with a truly appalling track record for using excessive force and violence, especially against the Arabs and dark-skinned Jews.

Therefore it should come as little surprise that the US police forces now mirror the Israeli ones in how they apply excessive force and violence and single out the dark-skinned – they have learned from their Israeli masters.

This is why the police response to the peaceful Standing Rock pipeline protest resembled the Israeli
response to some Arab children throwing rocks in Gaza or a pregnant Arab woman hurling abuse at them in the West Bank.

The US now possesses the requisite paramilitary police forces to impose a police state, therefore one has
to wonder how long it may be before it becomes a full-blown police state.

The Syrian-Sarin ‘False Flag’ Lesson

Amid Official Washington’s desire to censor non-official news on the Internet, it’s worth remembering how the lack of mainstream skepticism almost led the U.S. into a war on Syria, says ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern.

Peace in Syria – it’s the last thing the US wants

Last week US President Obama waived military aid restrictions for “foreign forces” and others in Syria. When hopes were raised for an end to the Syrian conflict following the recapture of most of eastern Aleppo, the US is pouring more petrol on the fire.

Now, we can question as to whether this will make a massive difference on the ground as we know the US and its allies have already been backing “foreign forces” in Syria. However, at least it shows people who may have had their doubts, as to what Washington’s game is. Namely, to prolong the agony for the people of Syria for as long as it can. The attitude is: “If we cannot topple Assad, then we’ll damn well make sure we’ll keep his country burning.” And all this – lest we forget- brought to us by an American President who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

      I need someone to call them out on it. To say on national television that the US has been instrumental in influencing the vote (to put it mildly) in other countries and the outrage is hypocritical at best. Chances of that happening? (((crickets)))

  People aren’t thinking this through. this is basically a vote against technocracy. It is a revolt against governance by unrepresented, unelected, undemocratic elites.
