(1) Let's talk about unions for a minute, shall we?
(2) The Service Employees International Union (SEIU) is obviously a union. It represents about 1.9 million workers. They endorsed Hillary Clinton and have donated over $220,000,000.00 to the Democrats. They even spent nearly $70 million in 2012 for the Democrats. Go unions!
(3) Even SEIU's CEO, Mary Kay Henry, couldn't help but send John Podesta a few e-mails about Hillary Clinton's OUTSTANDING campaign performance. Note that SEIU themselves have said that they represent 36% conservatives. But, you know, SEIU for Hillary!
(4) SEIU even fought for Obamacare, even though unions were turning against the Affordable Care Act. This may be because they also backed Obama during his election. And I guess SEIU was tapped by the White House directly.

(5) Then you have the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, who also endorsed Hillary Clinton on October 23, 2015.
(6) This is despite the AFSCME having members that are conservatives. So those conservative members would be paying a union to endorse Hillary Clinton instead of, say, Trump, or Cruz, or even Kasich. With Clinton calling them racists / deplorables, etc.

afscme.org/members/member…
(7) "John, per Nikki's e-mail below, wondering if you have time to call Lee Saunders when you're done with mtgs today? He only just saw the 54 progressives piece we put out a month ago, and is upset we featured others and not him".

Lee Saunders is the President of AFSCME.
(8) The AFSCME even literally directly worked with the Clinton Foundation on one of their many Commitments to Action.

clintonfoundation.org/clinton-global…
(9) One better, actually: the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees donated between $250,001 - $500,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Did anybody else even stand a chance of getting their endorsement?

clintonfoundation.org/contributors?c…
(10) Now, the National Education Association donated about $93,000,000.00 to Democratic causes. They even spent $23.7 million in 2016 alone.

foxnews.com/politics/2017/…
(11) "The National Education Association endorsement comes amid grumbling from some members that it's too soon."

"Mueller - a Sanders supporter - said she's upset by both the timing of the process and that Sanders wasn't given more of a chance."

politico.com/story/2015/10/…
(12) Note that all the unions that are angry did not even listen to their own warning signs.

"Teacher unions smarting after many members vote for Trump".

eu.usatoday.com/story/news/201…
(13) "Lily Eskelsen García, President of NEA, is using her union's vast campaign machine to wage a personal fight against Donald Trump."

"Ms. García helps direct a union-led super PAC, For Our Future, that has raised roughly $60 million..."

wsj.com/articles/teach…
(14) How about the American Federation of Teachers? Donated $69 million to Democrat causes. Lots went to, again, Hillary Clinton.

unionfacts.com/pol/Hillary_Cl…
(15) The American Federation of Teachers, unsurprisingly, endorsed Hillary Clinton on July 19, 2016. I mean, they had to - they donated $1,000,001.00 to $5,000,000.00 to the Clinton Foundation anyway.

Did members have a say?

aft.org/press-release/…

clintonfoundation.org/contributors?c…
(16) "I am an AFT and NEA member teacher that believed our union leadership was on the Hillary team well before the primary and didn't give democracy a fair shake."

medium.com/@NYArteacher/w…
(17) Randi Weingarten is the current President of the American Federation of Teachers.

"Weingarten and Clinton became friends about a decade ago when the latter was a New York senator".

Really now.

washingtonexaminer.com/emails-show-cl…
(18) How about the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America? It has over 500,000 members and- whoah, no way, it endorsed Hillary Clinton back in September 2015!

huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/hillary-…
(19) Even Douglas J. McCarron, the President of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, went around rallies in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh for Hillary, even though he once abandoned the union line to help George W. Bush in 2002.

prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
(20) "In her calls with both Denis Williams and Doug McCarron tonight, she felt like ti was implicit suggestion that she needed to attend their conventions to earn their endorsements."

wikileaks.org/podesta-emails…
(21) How about the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers? Donated $65 million to Democrats. Endorsed Clinton on June 8, 2016.

ibew.org/media-center/A…
(22) Lonnie R. Stephenson, the President of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, is a member of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations. They all thanked Hillary on September 18, 2015.

wikileaks.org/podesta-emails…
(23) "Hillary Clinton Wins Endorsement From United Foods and Commercial Workers Union". January 2016.

I mean, they donated $63 million to Democrats.

Also, they're a Clinton Foundation donor.

Winning made easy.

huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/hillary-…

clintonfoundation.org/contributors?c…
(24) "Clinton was introduced on stage by UFCW International President Marc Perrone, a longtime friend of Clinton's dating back decades to her days in Arkansas".

Really now.

EVERY TIME

reviewjournal.com/uncategorized/…
(25) The Laborers' International Union of North America donated about $50 million to Democrat causes!

"The Laborers International Union of North America, which has long had ties to organized crime..."

nytimes.com/1996/02/02/us/…

opensecrets.org/orgs/recips.ph…
(26) Hillary, once again, got the endorsement from the Laborers' International Union in November 2015 over Bernie Sanders. They represent about 500,000 people.

thehill.com/blogs/ballot-b…
(27) I'm sure the endorsement came out of nowhe- never mind, donated to the Clinton Foundation, as per tradition. Also, here's a picture of Terry O'Sullivan and Hillary Clinton during her Secretary of State days. And O'Sullivan supports Sinn Fein.

clintonfoundation.org/contributors?c…
(28) You get the idea. Unions absolutely BTFO, well done Supreme Court for ending this ridiculous "surprise endorsements except not really now to funnel millions into causes you don't agree with because of our personal relationships" enterprise.
(29) The end.

pewdiepie won't.
I just watched the clip and it's Baked Alaska doing the Hit or Miss song, but it's Alex Jones voice clips. That's it. But yes, pewdiepie will now be declared a Nazi again by the media.

"Moscow-based Kaspersky Lab turned Harold T. Martin III in to the NSA after receiving strange Twitter messages in 2016 from an account linked to him".
"Martin used an anonymous Twitter account with the name 'HAL999999999' to send five cryptic, private messages to two researchers at [Kaspersky Lab]."

"After each researcher responded to the confusion messages, Hal blocked them."

politico.com/story/2019/01/…
August 13, 2016 was the first message to the Kaspersky Lab researchers.

"So... figure out how how we talk. With Yevgeny present."

"Shelf life, three weeks."

In the Equation Group dump is a module known as "m12000000", or TADAQUEOUS, which does not have a Listening Post (LP) attached to it.

"It can only be loaded and unloaded through this interface, not controlled, and it will spit an error message."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
What apparently TADAQUEOUS does is cripple or disable IPsec, or Internet Protocol Security.

"Most of the symbols are not standard Linux symbols but specific to the TOS/Fortinet implementation."

laanwj.github.io/2016/09/01/tad…
"I read this to mean that the hardware or software of the system running IPsec was compromised, causing it to send valid protocol ESP packets, but creating those in such a way that these could be decrypted without knowing the ESP session keys (from IKE)".

From a call re: stopping govt shutdown with @ACLU, Sen. Udall, Rep. Espaillat and others from Sierra Club and the Service Employees International Union, a labor union for those in the healthcare/srvc industries etc.
Rocio Sáenz, SEIU's executive veep says:
1/
"Immigrants represent hope and opportunity, we are a resource for progress, activity and prosperity and most Americans understand that and that is why I have hope we will not have a government shut-down and not fund a border wall."
"Trump’s divisive wall is not a victim-less crime. Thousands of our members live close to border walls and see how this is part of a greater militarization gripping the region where they live."

This Day in Labor History: October 23, 1995. John Sweeney won the election to become president of the AFL-CIO. Let's talk about this huge shift in the federation's leadership and how it was perhaps too little, too late.
First, sorry this is so late in the day. I am completely overwhelmed with teaching duties and grading right now, so these threads have been less frequent lately. Alas.
It’s hard to express enough contempt for the AFL-CIO in the forty years after the 1955 merger to Sweeney’s victory in 1995. In that time, there were only two heads of the federation: George Meany and Lane Kirkland.

1. The leftist protests against our immigration and border policy are not genuine. They are fake and manipulative.

I'll go a step farther. Their actions are part of a long-term conspiracy, with goals including radicalization, recruitment and subversion
2. If we analyze their actions as to whether they are making smart points and building a broad consensus, then they are idiots to laugh at.

But it's a mistake to project our goals onto them.

They are recruiting and radicalizing dupes
3. A little instructive history. Almost a century ago another highly charged emotional issue broke into American news. A tragic situation...

Scottsboro Boys case. 1931, 9 black people aged 13-20 were tried, in unfair circumstances, with rape of two white women.

wow:
so much damning history all inside one little blurb
what i'm looking at now is the connection between IPS and Service Employees International Union (big obama supporters) in their sponsorship of the Occupy Wall Street riots.
