Impeachment has been understood to be about the next election, while it may be far worse. It may really be about the security of Europe. Stability in Europe is directly coupled to energy. What is Trump actually up to ?

Trump may seem stupid in his many strange attacks on energy politics, windmills, light bulbs, dishwashers, etc. It may seem funny, but there is a different picture behind the scene.

And he is pushing for shady deals in the energy market in Europe, for example exporting LPG gas to Ukraine, perhaps involving Poland. So, the question about Biden and Burisma may just be a cover up for a total different reason.

"Giuliani pals leveraged GOP access to seek Ukraine gas deal"



This may disrupt security in Europe, which may explain expressions like:"Bolton (according to a NBC report) warned that Trump could “go full isolationist” if he wins re-election next November, withdrawing from Nato and other international alliances."

The tragedy of United States and the world is that business men and wall street are cutting their own deals, in conflict with National and common people's interests. It is the same old story. Vietnam, Afganistan, etc. Most of the world have little idea of some of the causes for the World Wars, for example "The Treason Of Rockefeller Standard Oil (Exxon) During World War II"


Hitler moved troops across Europe, much thanks to Henry Ford. If you do a little digging, you will find American business involved in so much that it may make you sick.

Recent poll in Germany shows that they fear Trump much more than Putin.

What is taking place in the middle east, have a backstage filled with very different agendas then what we are supposed to believe.

So, we may laugh at many of the odd things Trump may say. It is a show, designed to confuse and have your eyes looking in the wrong direction. Take a step back and ask yourselves about his ethics and moral, his business, and ask if his "Make America great Again" is for you or the top 1%.

Trump is hiding his intentions from you.

Pray that someone will be able to have what he is hiding exposed.

How different can two men be? One wants to tear us apart, the other wants to bring us together.
One wants to build Bridges.
The other wants to build Walls.

Associated Press reports that Robert Mueller has agreed to testify publicly before the house Judiciary and intelligence committees on July 17. Both panels have issued subpoenas to him. There will be two hearings back-to-back (one for each committee) and they will also meet with him afterward in a closed session...

How come no Democrats call Clinton a racist and a xenophobe?

With Broad, Random Tests for Antibodies, Germany Seeks Path Out of Lockdown

It was the first large Western democracy to contain the spread of the coronavirus and is now the first to methodically go about reopening its economy. Others are watching.

BERLIN — Felix Germann was not expecting anyone when his doorbell rang last week. Outside was a doctor who looked like she had just stepped out of an operating theater, green scrubs, face mask and all — and a policeman.

“I didn’t do it!” Mr. Germann said, throwing up his hands, and everybody laughed.

The unusual visitors had come with an unusual proposal: Would he allow them to test his blood for Covid-19 antibodies? Every month? For a year? Starting next week?

He would be helping to further the science that would ultimately allow for a controlled lifting of social and economic restrictions and save lives.

“Of course I said yes,” said Mr. Germann, a 41-year-old project manager at a media company. “I want to help. This is a collective crisis. The government is doing what it can. Everyone needs to do their bit.”
With that, Mr. Germann and his girlfriend joined 3,000 households chosen at random in Munich for an ambitious study whose central aim is to understand how many people — even those with no symptoms — have already had the virus, a key variable to make decisions about public life in a pandemic.

The study is part of an aggressive approach to combat the virus in a comprehensive way that has made Germany a leader among Western nations figuring out how to control the contagion while returning to something resembling normal life.

Other nations, including the United States, are still struggling to test for infections. But Germany is doing that and more. It is aiming to sample the entire population for antibodies in coming months, hoping to gain valuable insight into how deeply the virus has penetrated the society at large, how deadly it really is, and whether immunity might be developing.
The government hopes to use the findings to unravel a riddle that will allow Germany to move securely into the next phase of the pandemic: Which of the far-reaching social and economic restrictions that have slowed the virus are most effective and which can be safely lifted? The same questions are being asked around the world. Other countries like Iceland and South Korea have tested broadly for infections, or combined testing with digital tracking to undercut the spread of the virus.

In hard-hit Italy, antibody tests — and the potential of “immunity licenses” — have lingered over a national debate over how and when to reopen the country. Regional presidents have turned to serological tests as a way to better chart infections but also to get a sense of which workers might have the desired antibodies to possibly provide protection and return to work.

But even the best laid plans can go awry; Singapore attempted to reopen only to have the virus re-emerge.
In the United States, President Trump is in a hurry to restart the economy in an election year, but experts warn that much wider testing is needed to open societies safely.

Both Britain and the United States, where some of the first tests were flawed, virtually forfeited the notion of widespread testing early in their outbreaks and have since had to ration tests in places as they scramble to catch up. In Italy, one of the worst hit countries in the world, the central government and regional leaders sparred over how widely to test.

Germany, which produces most of its own high-quality test kits, is already testing on a greater scale than most — 120,000 a day and growing in a nation of 83 million.

Chancellor Angela Merkel, a trained scientist, said this week that the aim was nothing less than tracing “every infection chain.”

See:

I looked up what exactly is a blog and I was surprised the definition actually left these C&P scholars in the clear. You can just leave a link, or C&P the text of that link, and get away with calling it your blog. Perhaps that is why some have managed to post over a 1000 blogs. Prolific arent he/she/T?

But... have they ever posted anything original? Something that actually shows they think instead of link? I liken it to being kind of like a voter. Every
moron gets a chance to have a small part in the process without ever having to perform any task other then pushing buttons. Nobrainers.

OK....what got me thinking of this was a C&P blog(?) that was posted and the OP proceeded to question the comments he was getting as not up to the standards for a reply on an article he/she/or T (?) didnt write. Can you do that, plagiarize, and then censor comments you don't like because they have ideas you dont have.
Knuckleheads!

If I wrote an article, I should have the right to make sure some moron doesn't decide to adopt it as his own and defend it with his own spin/perspectives. It's my intellectual property and I dont want some blowhard buffoon misinterpreting it because he/she/T lacks the mental capacity to put his position in his own words. He/she/T lacks the capacity for original thought so they camelback on someone else's intellectual property.

Its copyright.....not copy wrong.

Oh man ! Trump got filleted and deep fried today while the House of Representatives examined the Mueller Report, questioning legal experts.
It was clear from the legal experts, 2 law professors, and also John Dean, who gave historical perspective and the parallels between the situation with Trump and with Nixon.

Much like on here, the Republicans kept trying to change the topic from the Mueller report, or make excuses for the president, or attack the messengers, especially Dean.
However, the consensus was clear, that at least 4 of the 10 obstruction of justice incidences in the Mueller Report would hold up in court for all the criteria and together with the other 6 and the other partially obstructive, would show consistent intent and multiple counts.

I don't see how impeachment would not happen, unless Trump resigns.
Even if they find nothing from all the other investigations and his financial records, Trump is done. Even if the Senate obstructs justice by not voting to remove him from office,
there will be a revolt, when it comes to election time. And that's before all the other witnesses testify. When all is said & done, he's going to be more done than burned toast.

Below is the video of the opening statement from Dean.
I also watched the complete session, which I doubt most of you will have the patience to do.
