HALF-FULL REPORT 08/11/17

No need for any suspense on who is the HFR Hero of the Week:  James Damore, author of Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber that TTP ran in full on Tuesday (8/08).

It is a masterpiece of highly-educated reasoned thought, of calm scientific analysis of Google’s counterproductive “diversity” policies.  Damore was arguing for genuine diversity of thought, talent, and skills among Google’s workforce, and gave evidence that Google’s policies suppressed it.

Instantly, it was denounced by Google’s SJWs (social justice warriors) as an “Anti-Diversity Memo” when it was exactly the opposite, and got Damore quickly fired by the quivering wimp who’s the Goolag’s CEO – who doesn’t have the brains to grasp his action proved Damore’s every word.

And a lot more – Damore is now the most famous Googler on the planet, albeit former.  He put a Twitter feed, #Fired4Truth, up on Wednesday (8/09), and in less than 48 hours it has 32,000 followers.  Others have appeared overnight, like #GoogleManifesto, #JamesDamore, #GoogleMemo, overflowing with ridicule for the SJW culture of the Goolag.  E.g.,

Suddenly, within the last 72 hours, there are thousands of videos on Damore and the Google Memo on YouTube.  Enter “James Damore” on Google and you’ll get over 500,000 hits, when no one knew he existed at the start of the week.

The damage done to Google, financially and reputationally is monumental.  Google has been exposed as Orwellian fascist.  Even more important, it is giving courage to those Googlers agreeing with Damore – and there are swarms of them – to stand up to the SJW oppression.

Breitbart’s Rebels of Google interviews is just the start.  Resistance to SJW hatred and divisiveness may tear Google apart.  Already, CEO Pinchai (the guy who fired Damore) had to cancel Google’s Diversity Town Hall yesterday (8/10) for fear that employees would stand up to SJW bullying.

What I can’t wait to see is Damore’s Googler fans to start wearing MAGA hats to work.  That’s when the real fun begins.

Even better is that millions will now want to be Google-Free.  Joe Katzman today (8/11) tells us how in Google Is Evil – How to Hurt and Escape Them.  Take his advice – and make every friend you have aware of how to be Google-Free themselves. Joe’s article is free to send to anyone.

This nerdy young unknown guy with courage to match his brainpower (he has a Harvard Ph.D. in computational biology) has rocked the world for the better.  Thanks, James.

Ps: Re James’ twitter feed #Fired4Truth – when I wrote the note above this morning it was at 32,000 followers.  By late afternoon it’s above 45,000.

Just to clear up some confusion.  Jack Kelly – whose Trump Tells China – Get Rid of Kim or We Will today (8/11) is a must-read – and I have opposite viewpoints on H.R. McMaster.

Besides being one of my dearest friends whom I have known for a full third of a century, he is also TTP’s lead contributor.  So of course when he wrote Why I’m Pro-McMaster on Wednesday (8/09), I let him have his say.  TTPers deserve to know what he thinks.

At the same time, TTP contributor Michael Ledeen wrote The McMaster Turmoil (8/09) arguing for his dismissal.  So we posted that as well.

Yet neither Messrs. Kelly & Ledeen addressed what I consider to be the most damning reason for Trump to fire him  — the most damaging leak to our national security in many years, that of the President’s transcripts of personal calls to the leaders of Mexico and Australia by NSC staffers.  This has resulted, the Daily Caller reported (8/09), in a “Poisonous Atmosphere” in McMasters’ National Security Council.

Thus we ran a third article on Wednesday, Trump Should Fire McMaster and the Entire NSC Staff, by guest author Richard Manning.

TTPers are encouraged to read all three and decide for themselves what makes the most sense to them.  I’d also encourage you to read POTUS and Political Warfare by Rich Higgins, who was fired by McMaster for writing it.

Higgins is considered a strategic genius with impeccable integrity by those who know him.  We have mutual friends who all vouch for him.

Yesterday (8/10), the President was asked at a press conference in New Jersey with McMaster at his side if he still had confidence in him.  The answer:  “Yes, I do. He’s our friend. He’s my friend and he’s a very talented man. I like him and I respect him.”

Very well.  The president is being gracious and respectful as he should be.  Nonetheless, there’s talk all over the West Wing that McMaster will be reassigned – perhaps to run DHS since that cabinet position is open with John Kelly now White House Chief of Staff.  There’s no way H.R. can continue much longer running the NSC.

Yesterday (8/10), we posted my Dem Senator Blumenthal Is Right – No One Is Above the Law.  So many of you have insisted it be Free Access we quickly complied – you may send it to anyone you want.

The focus is that the criminality of the Clintons, Obama ilk, the Dem Dirty Thirty in the Awan scandal, and most especially of James Comey and Robert Mueller must be prosecuted since “no one is above the law” as Blumenthal argues.

Space prevented me from giving but a few sample examples of the above perps’ corruption.  So here’s some addenda.

In April of last year, I wrote Trump, Treason, and the Taliban.  Not of course to accuse Mr. Trump of being treasonous, but to beg him to fire his campaign manager who was – Paul Manafort.  Trump finally fired him three months later on August 19.

It wasn’t just Pakistani Intelligence who controlled the Taliban, it was other evil folk Manafort worked for, like Putin’s puppet in Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych to overthrow and demonize Ukrainian pro-American politicians.  He continued to do this until May 2016 while being Trump’s campaign manager.

“Handwritten ledgers show $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments designated for Mr. Manafort from Mr. Yanukovych’s pro-Russian political party from 2007 to 2012,” reported the New York Times.

From 2006 to 2009, Manafort was contractually paid $10 million a year by Russian oligarch and close Putin ally Oleg Deripaska to “influence politics, business dealings and news coverage inside the United States, Europe and former Soviet republics to benefit President Vladimir Putin’s government,” reported the Associated Press.

So it’s little wonder that Mueller sees Manafort as the man to squeeze to rat on or lie about Trump to save his skin – which is why Mueller ordered a totally unnecessary no-knock dawn raid on Manafort’s home.  It was on July 26 but only reported this week.

This means Mueller is fully disobeying his legal mandate that he only pursue the possibility of criminal Russian interference in the 2016 election.

On Sunday (8/06 – 11 days after Mueller’s raid on Manafort), Mueller’s boss Rod Rosenstein told Fox News:

“If there’s evidence of a crime that’s found within the scope of what they have agreed, then he has free rein. If it’s outside the scope of the probe, then he needs to come to the acting attorney general, at this time me, for permission to expand his investigation. Bob Mueller understands and I understand the specific scope of the investigation, and so no, it’s not a fishing expedition.”

But Mueller is on a fishing expedition for the express purpose of saving his best bud James Comey from going to jail – which Comey would if Mueller did his job, and which Mueller has no intention of doing.  That’s why Mueller is ignoring Congressman Steve King’s demand for him to investigate Comey, Lynch, and the Clintons:

Ereyesterday (8/09), The Nation (yes the bastion of the hyper-left) blew the Trump-Russian Collusion hoax out of the water: Former NSA experts say it wasn’t a Russian hack at all, but a leak—an inside job by someone with access to the DNC’s system.  Yesterday (8/10), Bloomberg did the same: Ex-Spies Don’t Buy the Russia Story.

The story is based on a Memo sent to President Trump by the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity (VIPS): “Was the ‘Russian Hack’ an Inside Job?”  To keep abreast of what VIPS is learning, see the website of VIPS founder and 27-year CIA veteran Ray McGovern.

The only thing now for Mueller is to go after the actual criminals, which include not only Comey, Podesta, Hillary, Susan Rice and Samantha Power, but in particular, Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan.  No, he targets Manafort, who’ll tell any lie on Trump to save his hide.

To know why Mueller should be targeting Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan instead, the must read is in the Spectator today (8/11):  Seymour Hersh Exposes Trump-Russia Story as  ‘A Brennan Operation.’  Here’s the key question:

“It is obvious that Brennan’s circle was responsible for many if not most of the criminal leaks. Why doesn’t the FBI raid Brennan’s home and rifle through his records?”

Because Mueller’s job is not to investigate any crimes but to protect his friend Jim Comey and his other Deep State cronies.

No wonder that law professor Jonathan Turley says (8/08) that Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein needs to recuse himself from the Russia probe, which would leave Mueller without the authority to conduct it.

The sooner the better, for as the AT notes (8/08):  Robert Mueller Has Already Destroyed His Legacy.

Fun Break.

*Mike Huckabee has the solution of how to get rid of the crazy little fat kid who runs NorkLand.  Noting that Kim had his half-brother murdered last February with a dose of the chemical warfare agent VX, Huckabee suggests that Trump send MadMax herself, Maxine Waters, to negotiate with Kim.  He says this will happen:

It’s brilliant and sure-fire.  Listening to the nuttiest loon in Congress can drive anyone to suicide.

*Male prostitute, 26, dies of meth overdose at Hollywood home of high-profile Democrat donor was the Wednesday (8/09) headline in the Daily Mail.

Since Ed Buck, the Dem donor, is a big pal of Hillary, naturally the LA police did not consider him a murder suspect, and yesterday (8/10) after their “investigation,” ruled that Gemmel Moore’s death was “Accidental.”

Ed Buck with friends – nothing to see here folks, move along

*Meanwhile, over in Hangzhou, one of China’s most ancient and beautiful cities, there’s a popular seafood restaurant called Tasty Shrimp.  It’s become a lot more popular since manager Lan Shenggang two weeks ago began offering discounts to women based on their bra size – the bigger the higher the discount.

“Business is up 20% already,” says Mr. Lan proudly, and expects it to get….. even bigger.

Time for Winning!

*While Nobody’s Looking, Trump Is Getting Stuff Done, notes the IBD (8/05).

*While Media Obsesses Over Russia, Trump Is Reshaping the Federal Judiciary, notes Legal Insurrection (8/05).

*In Major Win for Trump, U.N. Security Council Votes to Slap Sanctions on North Korea, notes Breitbart (8/05).  Major win is right, more like YUGE.  The vote was unanimous, 15-0, with both China and Russia not just abstaining but voting Yes.

And two short days later on Monday (8/07): China Tells North Korea to Stop Missile Tests.

*Trump Slashing Obama’s Regulation Binge, Saves Businesses Billions, notes the Washington Times (8/08).

*Corporate America Is Having Its Best Earnings Season in 13 Years, notes Bloomberg today (8/11).

*Over the weekend, Trump Haters set up a 30-foot inflatable chicken with a Trump hairdo in Lafayette Park across from the White House to make fun of him.  Boy, did that not work:

Trump Fans Gleefully Appropriate Trump Chicken for Meme Magic.  Enjoy.  Here’s one they missed though:

When the Left loses its power to ridicule, by Alinsky’s Rules, it’s screwed.  The Trumpers of the Alt-Right are going to clean the Left’s clock.

OK, Folks, that’s a wrap.  Do me a favor and take a look at the Mysteries of the Gobi in TTP left side bar.  This is my last Hidden China expedition as I’ve pretty much covered it now.  In fact, I’ll be phasing out leading expeditions soon, as I need time to complete the books I’m writing now.

So enjoy the pictures, learn something about the Gobi, and if you’ve always wanted to have a life-memorable adventure with me, now is the time.  Remember – Life is short, the time for a great adventure is now!
