Has anybody revisited the 1962 Sidney Poitier movie "Pressure Point" in light of the persistence of white supremacist politics in our time?
imdb.com/title/tt005637…
In one scene, the white supremacists are singing "The Star Spangled Banner," the anthem of the United States, at one of their meetings, with USA & 3rd Reich flags displayed
In another scene, the white supremacist prisoner scoffs at Poitier's suggestion that White Supremacy will fail because it is built on a lie. He says, "This country is built on a lie." He asks if it treats people like "All men are created equal." #film #history #racism

I sometimes feel @georgialibs don't get enough high quality, academic press #history & #sociology books. Using the GA Pines automated system, people who are members of participating libraries can get a number of very good books which have recently come to my attention.
"The oldest living things in the world" by Rachel Sussman gapines.org/eg/opac/record…. This photo essay book is a beautiful, mind-expanding paean to our biosphere. (I realize this is a #science #ecology book)
"Talking to my daughter about the economy, or, how capitalism works-- and how it fails" by Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis gapines.org/eg/opac/record…

I've been reading the e-mail from @wikileaks #Podesta hack which contains 3 attachments of transcriptions of Q & A sessions #HRC did with Goldman Sachs. wikileaks.org/podesta-emails… @BernieSanders had asked her to release transcripts or recordings. She had received hefty speaker fees.
I'm wondering, if the documents in this e-mail are an accurate representation of her appearances, why she didn't release them. There weren't any particularly "gotcha" moments where she thanked #WallSt for making her & her husband rich or where she promised to protect their
interests. A lot of what she said was uninspiring centrism, which is her brand. Several times she called for fixing #immigration, but without specifics. As part of the unwashed masses, I didn't see six figures worth of value in these words, but what do I know? Maybe they were

.@NatGeoChannel "Mars" just did a crazy abortion shame in S2E2. Amelie, a physician who was an original colonist, recognizes she is suffering psychologically after many years away from earth. She arranges to return on the next ship back, but she doesn't inform her lover Javier
until a few weeks before her scheduled departure. He doesn't take it well, & they separate. In a final predeparture physical examination, she discovers she is pregnant. She informs Javier, who indicates that he is happy to father a child. She tells him she is thinking of
terminating the pregnancy. He throws a tantrum, saying, "why r u asking me? U make all the decisions anyways." They both note that medical science hasn't determined if a human can conceive, carry and bear a healthy child in Mars's low gravity. She says, "But we do know that a

Since I was a kid I wanted to watch "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind" by Steven Spielberg. Start the movie and first thing that comes up?

Note the black on white/white on black for the numbers - inversion and opposites. 3 propellers.

SG-1 Mini Series Within Seasons:

The Politics of Disclosure (Stargate was used to help build the probability of these episodes - info was passed onto writers as "cool ideas" from the Pentagon. No questions were asked as agreed upon with producers.).

"Last month Miki Zohar, a legislator in the ruling Likud party, observed not only that there is a 'Jewish race', but that it represents 'the highest human capital, the smartest, the most comprehending'."

Read the Talmud. And Zohar (Cabala). #Supremacist #misanthropy #misogyny
"..the entire Jewish race is the highest human capital, the smartest, the most comprehending."

1. Unbelievable.

"The source with knowledge of his statements confirmed to Fox News that Moffa said FBI personnel would use media reports based on information they leaked to justify applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants."

2. So happy for freedom-loving Iranians! Looks like Rouhani has some 'splainin' to do to Iranian Parliament re: "unemployment, rising prices & sharp depreciation of the rial, which has lost more than half of its value since April." Are his days numbered?

3. Chain of Cmd: INSCOM -> NSA -> ODNI -> POTUS. FISAs granted by FISC. Given magnitude of #Spygate, Hussein clearly directed spy ops. Apprised via Pres Daily Briefs in PEOC. Trump has justification for FISA warrants vs DS mbrs colluding w/foreign gov'ts.

(1) #AboutStrzok This is #PeterStrzok . He is in his 40s. He works for the #FBI . He was the only person to interview @HillaryClinton , with no recording, on her #HRCEmail investigation .
(2) #AboutStrzok How many #STRZOK family members are there? There are only 100 total Americans out of 300 million with this name . You can Google this. #PeterStrzok must be unique in such a small family, right?
(3) #AboutStrzok The father of #PeterStrzok (ii) is Peter Strzok Sr, and he was in the Army core of engineers. Oh, he was actually a career expert in sanctions and nuclear activity in #Iran . fayobserver.com/d8027ffd-e2a6-…
