Xhaka doing what appeared to be the Albanian eagle as his celebration after that amazing goal vs Serbia... spot of Balkan politics there #SERSWI
This is an unexpectedly great match...
Incredibly, one of the other Swiss players of Kosovan background Shaqiri scores what appears to be an injury time winner against Serbia and also celebrates in same way - probably all the Russians supporting Serbia too

Interesting - maybe too late. Labour MPs astonished No 10 failed to consult with unions too. Also one told her directly that her talking up of No Deal as a viable option was making things difficult. Ie they need her to say publicly that No Deal is a disastrous non option...tricky
Labour sources briefing against: “We will look at any proposal that is put forward to improve T May’s bad deal.

“However, amendment would mean MPs supporting deal based on promises that are not legally binding. also doesn’t guarantee UK won’t fall behind on important rights”
“Protection of rights is also one element of this deal. The government has still refused to listen to Labour’s demands for a permanent customs union and a strong single market deal.” Says Labour source...

Another ticking No Deal time bomb -Lords Grand committee supposed to take 4 hours to deal with 10 Brexit Statutory instruments - Got through just 3 on stem cells, embryology etc, all referred up to full House of Lords.

Hundreds more required to be passed to correct statute book
Some Govt sources suggesting there is a filibustering game going on here - Lords strenuously deny - todays committee included Lord Winston, Warner, Foulkes, Adonis etc, say it is scrutiny legislated for in Withdrawal Bill.

In any event, cant see how they get through all the SIs
Here’s the committee taking on the minister who was trying to get 10 SIs through today... parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/8a…

Very good story about Brexit consultancy contracts from @AdamParsons1 and @TomBoadle

My understanding was BCG and Mckinseys ones were to work up rejected plans for New Customs Partnership and Max Fac to test them with very sceptical manufacturers (under gagging clauses ofc)...
Essentially, the Government paying many millions to external consultants to tell them it was going to take years to prepare customs etc, but also trying to square circle of its own red lines on Brexit with keeping frictionless trade.
Plenty of people were telling the Government, often under NDA, for free, that such plans were unworkable...

@ScottPresler I'm with U, man. U can't ignore any voter be it black or white. But path 2 victory in 2020 is 2 solidify white vote & get single white college ed women 2 vote @GOP in larger numbers as well as "suburban GOP white voters"

Trump has 2 run "Comfort Game"

@RationalMale @parscale
@ScottPresler @GOP @RationalMale @parscale Look I've looked at the data closely. Unless there is a major sea change, we will get 50 percent latino vote before the black vote. Thats the trend. We shouldn't ignore any group.
@ScottPresler @GOP @RationalMale @parscale That said, what will absolutely destroy our chances is if white voters dont show up or defect to Democrats.

A split up white vote dooms us

The midterm wins for Democrats were driven by white liberals who are brainwashed by trump. Our voters of course didnt show up as strongly

Ill be damned Qs code leads right to my favorite quote of ALL time!

6X-382-NTP0038-3u2

“Give me liberty or give me death!”

Reminds me of the time I made this clip of GMF EPIC speech. Hours later Q linked to to full speach with a specific start point. Q started speach with media alert.

“Those in the back hear me CLEARLY” paraphrase.

Nov. 11 is the 100th anniversary of #WWI's end. As US troops were only directly involved for ~1 year, it pales in comparison to WWII in the American psyche. But WWI was a massive conflict that altered everything & set the stage for WWII. Here's some stuff worth reading/watching:
Sometimes, the total black and white and silent nature of so much WWI footage makes it seem incredible foreign to us. So check out "World War One In Color," which came out around the time of the 75th anniversary of the conflict. It's all on YouTube.
For reading, a good place to start is "The Guns of August" by Barbara Tuchman. It has its historical criticisms, but it remains one of the best works on the outbreak of the conflict. It was a book that influenced JFK's thinking in the midst of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

We are living in a huxleyianorwellian world where the exceptionally exceptional regimes of USA, ISR & SAU do whatever they want, mass murderers praise a mass murderer at his funeral, broadcasted by information mass murderers, as hero &, since 9/11, laws of nature are upside-down.
LET'S pull the mass media's, projecting vitriolic fairy tales into our perilous Plato's cave, plug, GET THE F*** OUT of the insane huxleyianorwellian psychopathic anti universe & live together in freedom, respect, harmony, peace & prosperity for everybody, not only for the few!
Everybody knows, since Herman & Chomsky's Manufacturing Consent at least, that the mass media are enemies of the people. If @realDonaldTrump or @jeremycorbyn dare to do the unthinkable, tell the truth, flack machine shoots and Russia gets the common enemy.

#VS-Mitarbeiter erzählt im #NSUUA, dass in der Auswertung zwischen "Neonazis" und "NPD" unterschieden wurde. Wer also aus den Freien Kräften kommt und in die NPD eintritt, wird nicht mehr unter "Neonazi" geführt.
So klingt die Zahl der Neonazis gleich ein bisschen besser ☝️
Gleich wurde übrigens mit "Überläufern" von organisierter Kriminalität und Neonazis bzw NPD verfahren, obwohl VS-Mitarbeiter selbst Fall nennt, in dem jemand aus Türsteher/Rockerszene auch im NPD-Ordnungsdienst aktiv war. #nsuuath
Noch mehr Hits: Mitarbeiter war zuständig für NPD-Vorstand, also auch für Thorsten Heise, aber nicht für dessen Musikvertrieb, zb von dem Song "Dönerkiller", in dem schon vor der Selbstenttarnung des Kerntrios die Mordserie des #NSU besungen wurde. #nsuuath

#Serbia’s govt continues its alarming (re)turn Milosevic era: Foreign Minister Dacic claims BiH’s RS entity should have declared independence when Kosovo did. A direct attack on Dayton Accords, BiH territorial integrity & sovereignty. Where is the EU? US? ba.n1info.com/a278083/Svijet…
Recall, this is happening in context of Belgrade’s surging push to partition Kosovo which I have claimed all along is primarily a bid to legitimize their pretensions on Bosnia. And Dacic, the ex-Milosevic lieutenant, keeps confirming just that. And still radio silence from EU/US.
So, to be blunt: the Vucic govt in Serbia is testing the US & EU resolve for re-drawing borders in the Balkans. They would prefer a grand bargain but are also continually hinting at the possibility of violence. On both counts, they’re feeling emboldened by EU & US silence.
