“...one of his clients was 401 North Wabash Venture, LLC, the Trump International Hotel & Tower. Burke began representing Trump’s 92-story condo and hotel in 2006 and over the past decade he has saved (Trump) $14.1M in property taxes.” politico.com/magazine/story…
“When Burke’s tax objections were denied, he took Trump’s case to court. Burke’s firm filed six lawsuits against the Cook County treasurer, alleging that the Trump Tower’s assessment “is not based upon the fair market value of the property and is excessive, and is illegal...”
“In fact, Burke’s most recent suit was filed on May 31, 2017, four months after Trump was sworn in as president. So far, one suit has been dismissed, while the rest are still pending in Cook County Circuit Court.”

“When Le Pen needed cash for her party, an obscure Russian bank helped. 4 years later, the bank has gone bust...Former Ru military officers are demanding money. And the party’s treasurer sends $165k every few months to a woman in Moscow.” washingtonpost.com/world/national…
“Instead, the $12.2 million loan dragged her party into the shadowy underworld of Russian cross-border finance, putting it in league with people accused of having ties to Russian organized crime, money laundering and military operations.”
“Schaffhauser, looking for a loan for Le Pen, said he reconnected with Babakov through a mutual contact in the Russian Orthodox Church and arranged a meeting in mid-2014.”

Feds Target Butina’s GOP Boyfriend as Foreign Agent

Paul Erickson, a longtime Republican politico whose Russian girlfriend is in jail on charges she acted as a covert foreign agent, has been informed that he may face similar accusations.
thedailybeast.com/feds-target-bu…
A “target letter” that federal investigators sent Erickson’s lawyer, said they are considering bringing charges against him under Section 951 of the U.S. code—the law barring people from secretly acting as agents of foreign governments. law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18…
“Essentially what it would say is that an American was acting to advance the interests of a foreign power, contrary to the interests of the United States of America,” said Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor.

#History/#Art thread – From my recent trip to Madurai/Tirunelveli. On Jain sites (some with a rich history dating back to at least the 3rd cent. BCE), early Pandyan rock-cut cave temples (7th-8th cent. CE) & the amazing Vettuvan koil.

Pic: Mahavira (~8 cent CE), Kizhakuyilkudi
Before I start on the places, the history around all this is fascinating & splits opinion. Is it apt to call the script Tamili/Tamil Brahmi? Did it develop independently in the Tamil country/come with the Jain monks from the north? Were 8,000 Jains actually impaled in Madurai?>
>Were the Saivites overaggressive in promoting their faith? Shall only be happy to discuss on these separately (unless it gets too long/irrational). And I’m not posting every inscription from the places here, despite their importance. Again, shall be happy to discuss them.

1) NRA-Russia thread. It's looking like David Keene masterminded the NRA-Russia "covert influence operation" with Torshin & Dimitri Simes, who sits on Center for National Interest board with Keene. #WednesdayWisdom
2) Keene has involved multiple orgs. in the operation. That includes NRA (board), Center for National Interest (board)[publishes Butina op-ed], Washington Times (opinion editor)[Published op-ed by Torshin], and American Conservative Union (former longtime chair)
3) The Center for National Interest is getting WAY TOO LITTLE attention in the NRA-Russia investigations. Ditto for the American Conservative Union (CPAC). Keene was chair at ACU from 1984-2011.

Simple way to say, human #History is millions of years old, and measured in the manner of Chaturyuga (4 main yugas/cycles). In due time, the Races of mankind (and/or, genetic make-up) gets diluted, lost, assembled/reassembled, out-mixing (w/other species), unregulated mixing,
etc. & via such phenomena in successive ages. Truly unfathomable to understand, Sat Yuga was of dominant Brahmanas/Rishis (a single homogeneous racial purity/ 12 strand+ DNA), & divisions arose in Treta- 6 main races & various sub-races, interbreeding w/other species & so forth.
The emergence of total white skin(albinism/12K BP) further aggravated the racial dilution few thousand years back(who masterminded this scenario?). Anyway, discerning the present scenario, and learning something out of this mess, it's necessary to connect to the remnants of ...
