The summit being 2 days away means reenacting the first summit which generated much fanfare. 2 photo stations have been set up to take pics that remind them of Moon's stroll with KJU and the picnic they had. The Moons actually went to generate publicity

The above isn't real. Some people think that's the actual site. 2 photo-op stations are set up for Seoul citizens to re-enact and take pictures. One's in Mapo, another in front of Blue House. This is the real stuff below. Seoul is turning into Potemkin

Who will actually go and re-enact this stuff? You'd be surprised. The summit is a huge media event and caters to the public that's hungry for feelgood imagery. It's family entertainment. We have a fake Panmunjom in Namyangju. Now fake summit picnic tables

Donga reports an economic delegation composed of representatives of US agricultural & German mining businesses visited NK in late Sept. The German concern is interested in NK's magnesite/graphite reserves and US agro biz looked at investment opportunity
news.donga.com/List/PoliticsN…
The timing of this was late Sept when Pompeo's 4th visit had been decided and US-NK dialogue was ongoing. NK treated this economic delegation well. The US concern is supposedly the largest one that sells agro & animal protein prods (Cargill, Tyson Foods?)
sedaily.com/NewsView/1S5Y4…
Front page news in SK courtesy of Donga. NK is known to have rather large mineral reserves other than just coal: copper, lead, iron ore, tungsten plus rare earth/rare metal elements like molybdenum. SK estimates it's worth $3.6 trillion (on the low side) imnews.imbc.com/replay/2018/nw…

Foreign Minister Kang in another mini-controversy after Japan's Nihon-Kezai reports SoS Pompeo "blew up on her" after learning about the military agreement signed by SK and NK at the Pyongyang summit. N-K quotes Pompeo, "What do you think you're doing?"
news.joins.com/article/230344…
N-K: "There was no prior discussion about the nature of the military agreement SK struck with NK." Pompeo was said to be particularly upset about the 'no fly zone' established within proximity of MDL. US reconnaissance planes regularly fly near the area for surveillance of NK
Kang pretty much acknowledged something like that happened when asked about it at the National Assembly: "I wouldn't characterize it as 'furious' or 'blew up' but there was dissatisfaction re not being fully informed. So yes, I was asked a lot of questions"

Japan declines to attend a naval event in Jeju after repeated calls by SK not to arrive with its Rising Sun Flag symbolizing Imperial Japan. However the real reason why it chose not to attend is more intricate.
koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20…
What happened is SK kept telling Japan's Embassy and Defense Minister that only the national flag should be flown. But Japan insisted it will come bearing the Rising Sun Flag. Then apparently SK NSA Chung and new Defense Minister Jung came up with a ploy
english.yonhapnews.co.kr/national/2018/…
They leaked news that the lead vessel of the host country may switch to ROKS Dokdo, which is the largest SK navy vessel. Dokdo is an island but also the name of this LPH-class amphibious vessel with a platform that can launch helis, Ospreys and even VTOLs

It’s soooooo crazy how time flies! Today marks my ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY reverting to Islam 😭❤️
Since I don’t talk much about my journey and today marks one year for me. I’ll talk about my journey thus far...
In The beginning I was all alone. I had very minimal support, I got put out my home.... I was staying from one family memeber house to the next... living with my uncle first.

#DallasThread #Thread #Hurricane #HurricaneFlorence #Flood #Cleanup As the flood waters recede, I want to talk to you about cleaning up. I have received training in disaster relief and sadly have had to use this training.
While this thread is not in-depth, it will be most useful info in one place that I think you will find. It’s also a bit long. Sorry not sorry 😬
Let’s start out by stating the obvious, unless you are saving another human, nothing is worth risking personal sickness or your life for. You must protect yourself first in disaster areas. If it takes another day to get the right gear, wait that day.

CC: “Rest easy, patriots. Every time #TeamTreason declassifies docs to obstruct justice, it always spectacularly backfires i.e. disproving the conspiracy theories/nonsense they’ve been peddling for months.

They know very bad news is on the horizon. :-)” 🍿🍿🍿

Let's start with Ciara mentioning to Julie that Tripp was making a romantic dinner for her. #Cin #Days
"Ciara, that's wonderful. So you're possibly going to be getting that pussy beaten up tonight? Are you sure you're ready for that? You were raped two years ago. I know that pain and so do a shit ton of women on this show." #Cin #Days

1. #QAnon refers to his 6/10 post (No. 100 on /patriotsfight/):

"Start the Clock.
Week to [Remember]" with a screen shot of his 6/3 post, upside-down gun:

"Dark to Light."

Previously unreleased vid shown to Kim at summit
1:07 =>

"Dark to Light"

#Q
2. #QAnon's post No. 100:

"First private" = secret mtg with #KJU in China last Nov in Forbidden City.

"Second public" = 6/12 summit in Singapore.

There have been no missile tests in 7 mos, test mountain's imploded, and NK has blown up already their missile test sites. #Q
3. #QAnon reveals:

"Would you believe Hussein tried to call #KJU prior to the #Summit? He did not have his updated phone number. And, 3 #NK Generals had been released from their positions which had closed the pathway for bad actors.

Almost all of the Road Runner cartoons are available via the @BoomerangToons app.

I subscribed for $5 & decided I'm gonna watch & tweet about 'em all in chronological order, even the later, terrible ones, for which I have an irrational affection.

Here we go.

#MeepMeep
Boomerang lists them alphabetically not chronologically so Chuck Jones masterpieces sit side-by-side with 1960s atrocities (& later 'revival' attempts.)

I am going to start at the beginning. I will also be including Wile E. Coyote/Bugs Bunny & Ralph Wolf/Sam Sheepdog shorts, FYI
September 17, 1949: "Fast And Furry-ous"

Chuck Jones intended this short to be a parody of cat & mouse "chase" cartoons. Instead, he accidentally created the definitive chase cartoon series of all time.
