    So it wasn’t the Russians? Looks like it was the damned Redcoats.

    Walt @ 9:03 am. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
    Yep, all signs pointing to “Western intelligence assets” doing the whole number on the Russian Hoax. Even the guy who orginally told George P the Greek “The Russians have dirt on Hillary” traces back to a British asset.
    While exposing our number one spycatcher (Peter) with the deep corruption and obstruction of justice by Bruce O, Comney, Comney, and others is fun, I am patiently waiting for the big fish to fry. Bigger than ‘Logan Act’ Salley Yates, bigger than Susan Rice on our side of the Pond.
    Something happened in April, 2017 that made the Brits and Clapper freakout. It was about the time the Senate Intel Lawyer was busted for leaking to (and sleeping with) the Wa Po babe. The press reports from that time in March, 2017 and April unwittingly revealed too much. Remember when Trump was crucified for saying Obama was spying on his campaign? It was all there in prior NYT, Wa Post stories, the dummies. Actually, too much was revealed Jan-April, 2017 that they couldn’t take back. 🙂
    Food for Thought: Remember that State Department Official Winer who beat everybody to the punch and came out voluntarily in an Wa-Po op-ed and said, “Yep, it was me. The Dossier information and other information was passed to me. I read it and sent it up upstairs at State and also sent the information as it came in to the FBI. Up to John Kerry and the WH as well as over to the FBI and up to Yates, Lynch, and the WH and back down. Looked liked it was coming from different sources, lol.
    So, here is the FOOD FOR THOUGH: Winer later testified to the Senate Committe when asked, he said “there were many dossiers.” How many? Many. Did the WH have dossiers on all the Republican candidates during the primaries? Hmmm? How many of those “many dossiers” were forwarded to our 17 intel agencies? Or, how many dossiers were created by our intel agencies??? They really dug into Rubio. 🙂
    “Winer’s op-ed confirms the chain of events Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) detailed in a criminal referral for Steele, in which he asks the Justice Department to investigate the former intelligence agent for allegedly lying to the FBI about his contacts with the media.
    “That criminal referral states that “a friend of the Clintons” approached an Obama State Department official with a document making claims about Trump, which the official then passed on to Steele, who was at the time a paid informant for The FBI.
    In the op-ed, Winer states that Steele first approached him in September of 2016 with the dossier about Trump. Winer distilled the dossier into a two-page summary that he shared with former Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, who notified then-Secretary of State John Kerry.
    Later that month, Winer said he met with Blumenthal, who he described as “an old friend.” They discussed the Steele report and Blumenthal showed Winer “notes” put together by another longtime Clinton operative, Cody Shearer, that “echoed” the claims made in the Steele dossier.”

    In the interest of keeping Dr. Reban’s Happy Thanksgiving Post non-political, I will say happy Thanksgiving to all here.

    At one time there was a deceptive advertising lawsuit brought against Fox for using the term “fair and balanced.” Rebane is only concerned with information that supports his POV, nothing else, and Faux provides that for all the trumpsters…….

    Oh Mr. Rebane…..is there nothing you can’t do!?

    fish 1101am – Mr fish, if you can still communicate with the dear-distant Mr Koyote, please convey him the following –
    Au contraire Mr Koyote, on RR we are very much concerned with information from all sides of issues. That’s why many of our commenters lean Left by various degrees. However, by your departure from these pages you are among those leftists who cannot successfully argue their ideas, and who crash and burn every time the attempt to do so. We welcome you to leave your current echo chambers to return and support your own POV. Here the opposition to my POV are even invited to write their own bylines to make their case and then defend it in its comment stream. You should try it and email me something near and dear to your heart.

    re JeffP’s 736pm on ‘Khashoggi …’ – Has anyone noticed the FUE presenting an argument on any idea/issue here (or elsewhere for that matter), other than dispensing his unique brand of ad hominems?
    And does anyone notice that, to be heard, the man must visit these pages with his vitriol – is it because his own echo chamber is empty? We await his ideas.
    In the interval, let me share with you some of his latest shit that I have exhumed from my Pelline filter –
    “George, You let the “fat jokes” stand, but delete the others. You’re a phony, George. A total phony. Your grandkids must laugh at you behind your back. I bet they prey that you stay up “on the hill” and don’t move anywhere near them. Ha!”
    “”Scott O” has two followers. What a waste of time? LOL. https://profile.typepad.com/6p022ad377781d200c And for a Ph.D, George’s vocabulary consists of “undies in a bunch” and “crab.” Ha!”
    Please consider, what kind of person would write something like that? It is effluent like the above which from time to time continues to confirm the special level of esteem in which I hold the man.

    Russ, thanks for the link to the Zharkova talk… I think it’s important to not get too ahead of the science which even a mathematical model with 10000 years of hindcasting needs… it still needs to show predictive power going forward.
    Jerry Brown has made a challenge… in five years, skeptics will be believers. I think it’s finally time to meet such predictions head on. Eleven years ago when I started down this road, sock puppets with no patience whatsoever (I’m talking about you, Keach) kept demanding action.
    It looks like action is upon us. Be careful what you ask for, you might just get it.

    @ 1:58:pm It’s been one year since North Korea has fired a test missle. One year. One year ago when everybody including all the fakenews media (save the conservatives) were saying Trump is getting us into global thermal nueclear war and we are all going to die and be fried like a Twinkie at the Iowa State Fair…..and Trump must be removed from office this moment because he is mentally insane!
    Well, a year has passed and they are still saying Trump is insane and must be removed from office. Trump has accomplished more in the 10 months since taking office than all other Presidents have in decades concerning the Hermit Kingdom.
    Not there yet, but better than a sharp poke in the eye. Yes, our button is bigger.

    Just a reminder about how stupid it is to accuse the Russians of sneaky doings.
