Navy offers expedited fully Honorable discharges if sailors withdraw religious exemption requests related to Covid vax

This action provides an attractive offer for sailors who have been in limbo for 8-10 months.

mynavyhr.navy.mil/Portals/55/Mes… Sailors who take this offer will keep all bonuses and be eligible for all earned veterans' benefits such as the GI Bill.

Allison Sands considered interviewing David Dagon. Ultimately, she never talked to him. I think one objective of the hoaxsters was to get the FBI to talk to Dagon. We know that media stenographers Matthew Mosk (ABC) and Franklin Foer (Slate) contacted Dagon later that month.

NAVY VACCINE MANDATE

🚨 CLASS ACTION CERTIFIED 🚨

The judge in the Fort Worth case being litigated by First Liberty (not to be confused with Liberty Counsel) has certified a class action case of all Navy personnel who have requested religious exemptions.
courtlistener.com/docket/6082406… My reading of this order suggests to me that the Navy may not discharge any sailors who have requested religious exemptions. Consistent with last week's SCOTUS stay, the Navy may reassign unvaxxed sailors.

Navy loses another appeal. This time, the Navy asked Judge Merryday in Tampa to lift his injunction preventing the Navy from punishing an unvaxxed sailor. Judge denied the motion this afternoon. courtlistener.com/docket/6065072… Judge Merryday said that the government "menacingly" announced its intent to appeal to the Eleventh Circuit if the District Court did not grant relief to the military within 48 hours.

Well ... no relief was granted.

Recall that a Tampa court prevented the Navy from removing a destroyer captain from command. Now the Navy says the destroyer is not deployable because of the captain's vax status. You gotta love the response by lawyers for the destroyer captain:

"If there is injury to the Navy from shutting down the Commander's ship, it is self-inflicted and intentional."

NAVY VACCINE: Emergency TRO requested

A destroyer captain had his religious exemption appeal denied on Friday. He is set to be removed from command today. Captain seeks to prevent Navy from removing him. Navy claims he waited to last minute for relief

Somethings happening today UPDATE

U.S. District Judge orders Navy to respond to TRO request by 5:00 p.m. TODAY "[t]o receive consideration before an order resolves the pending motion."

Hmm.

Military reports status of religious exemptions.

Navy -- 3,711 religious requests

3,484 denied
0 approved
227 under review

I'd guess the exemptions under review have been filed more recently. Army -- 2,064 religious requests

122 denied

I don't immediately see any characterization of the remaining 1,942.

Last week, the Navy reported that 99.8% of sailors had received at least one dose of the vaccine. For some reason, that number dropped to 97.2% this week.

stripes.com/branches/navy/… >>“Changes to military personnel numbers resulted in that slight percent decrease, which account for personnel who were separated, retired or are no longer active duty,” the service said.

The Navy's explanation doesn't make sense. The math simply doesn't work.

This is the best educational primer I've seen on how electricity markets work.

Texas doesn't have a "capacity market" that rewards generators to be on-call to produce electricity. It also penalizes producers who fail to generate what they promised. rff.org/publications/e… Gas fired generators in Texas came through bigly during the past week (though I'm sure some individual gas burners went offline). Wind powered generators totally collapsed. Nuclear and coal had smaller production declines.

When will we learn if there are any faithless Electors? Recall that according to the 12th Amendment, the THREE candidates with the highest number of EVs are eligible to be considered for President if the election is thrown to the House of Representatives. Did any Dems vote for Kamala Harris to preserve the ability to nominate her in case news comes out that knocks Biden out of consideration?

This is interesting.

On Saturday, July 27, 2019, Vadim Pozharskyi emailed Karen Tramontano worried that the July 25 Trump/Zelensky mentioned Burisma. Tramontano assured Pozharskyi that she and Sally Painter were on the case. In fact, Tramontano said Painter would reach out to their "friend" and Tramontano had already contacted their "other friend".

The FBI's corroboration of the dossier claims Carter Page worked "as Gazprom as a 'Corporate Broker'." Furthermore, the corroboration claims Page was instrumental in instituting an investor's day.

scribd.com/document/47978… This appears to come directly from the 3-17-2017 Carter Page 302 -- down to the awkward syntax. Notice that we appear to be receiving a bonus unredaction.

Paul Sperry says that Brennan overruled including evidence that conflicted with the ICA's conclusion that Russia wanted Trump to win the 2016 election.

realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2020/… Sperry says that CIA analysts Eric Ciaramella and Andrea Kendall-Taylor excluded evidence that Putin wanted Clinton to win.

Another name gets briefly mention -- Julia Gurganus, the boss of Kendall-Taylor. Sperry doesn't mention how Gurganus viewed the evidence.

Just read the Geoffrey Berman transcript before the Judiciary Committee. Berman wasn't all that helpful to the House Dems. In fact, my biggest takeaway is that Berman's testimony inoculates his successor, Audrey Strauss, from any criticism from Democrats. judiciary.house.gov/uploadedfiles/… One of the first things Strauss did as Acting USA for SDNY was charge Ghislaine Maxwell. I don't know where that's going, but Democrats have really boxed themselves in a corner if they don't like what Strauss does.

Serious question: Which Russian intelligence officer did Stone communicate with?

1. Henry Greenberg
2. Alexei Rasin
3. Guccifer 2.0

Any of those would be highly problematic for the RussiaGate narrative. So who was it?

https://twitter.com/RodRosenstein/status/1282084285755928576

After ruminating on this for a couple hours, I think I figured this mystery out.

Mueller is saying he investigated Stone due to his contacts with Russian intelligence. But Stone had no contacts with Russian intelligence. Somehow Mueller was deceived.

1. I've argued that John Durham has been investigating SpyGate matters since July 2017 at the latest

I'm revising that. Durham has been on-board no later than June 11, 2017. Durham was working with Mueller the whole time, too @traceybeanz @15poundstogo

2. Check out this email to Michael Dreeben, one of Mueller’s team members at SCO. On June 11, 2017, Scott Schools wanted Dreeben to met John Durham. Schools thought it would be “helpful” if Dreeben and Durham talked.

1. A few people brought up the Air Force 1 Meeting in replies to one of my tweets yesterday. The AF1 Meeting occurred on July 8, 2017 as Trump staffers debated what–if anything-to do about a NYT article breaking the news of the June 9, 2016 Trump Twr meeting arranged by FusionGPS 2. Here’s my favorite little-known story about the AF1 Meeting:

While on AF1, Hope Hicks learns of a story Trump personal attorney Marc Kasowitz is marketing to Circa News. Kasowitz says the story will “blow the Russia investigation wide open”.

What's significant about October 1, 2016?

SSCI interviewed former DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson very early on -- June 12, 2017. During that interview, Johnson said that as of Oct 1, 2016, the Obama Admin had not reached the conclusion to publicly attribute DNC hack to Russia. Selected items from my timeline:

6-14-16 - Crowdstrike attributes DNC "hack" to Russians

7-24-16 - Clinton campaign mgr Robbie Mook attributes DNC "hack" to Russians

7-30-16 - Steele issues Report 97 attributing DNC "hack" to Russians.

I found this video interesting

1:17 - Female donor to HRC with IT background pushed Alfa Bank story (who?)

2:16 - Sara Carter says Alfa Bank hacked by US computers in February and on March 11 and March 13, 2017 in attempt to frame Trump
4:38 - I love the facial reactions of Carter & Solomon when Hannity discusses CIA's ability to hack computers and leave Russian fingerprints

5:39 - Hannity: "How convinced are you that this is a set-up?" Another great facial reaction from Carter. Solomon: "Very strong evidence"

1. Did Rep. Mike Quigley receive stolen emails related to the 2016 Trump Campaign? This thread seeks to make the case that he did. This is ironic because the whole premise of the Russia scandal was that the Trump Campaign made use of stolen emails related to Hillary Clinton. 2.March 2, 2017

BACKSTORY: AG Jeff Sessions recused himself from Russia-related investigation. Sessions cited two previous meetings with Russian Amb Kislyak as part of the reason for the recusal – one in July 2016 and another in Sept 2016.

@aluminumnatti @actual_chaos @themarketswork This is interesting. From Clapper's HPSCI testimony, we learn that on Dec 5, 2016 his National Intelligence Officer for Russia (Julia Gurganus) told HPSCI:

"In terms of favoring one candidate over another, you know, the evidence is a little bit unclear."

intelligence.house.gov/uploadedfiles/… @aluminumnatti @actual_chaos @themarketswork The VERY NEXT DAY, Obama ordered the ICA on Russian intentions.
