Popular Post Walker88 Posted August 12, 2022 Popular Post Posted August 12, 2022 4 hours ago, michael87 said: Do you believe inflation is zero % for July as reported by WH and Joe Biden? You may also believe the "nuclear connection" leak at the Mar-A-Lago doc stash. The DOJ/FBI raid is being gradually exposed as a fishing expedition. I understand math and economics might be difficult for you, but I'll try to dumb it down and explain the 0% inflation number released the other day. Perhaps you didn't notice that people with actual knowledge of economics and data---many who work on Wall Street---loved the number and hence started a massive stock market rally. That is because they understand it; you do not. Here you go: The number is the month-on-month change. That means the basket of goods used in the inflation calculation cost no more in July 2022 than in June 2022. That means that the current inflation rate fell to zero. That is how the numbers are always released, as they were even when 45 was POTUS. The key is reading the release, not just seeing a number you don't like and making incorrect assumptions that reflect quite poorly on you. Think of it like a derivative in calculus. Rate of change over a specified period. Or think of it like a car......over the last year you might have been accelerating from 0-60mph, but in the last month, no acceleration took place. You were going 60mph in June and still going 60mph in July. I'll say it again: this is the same methodology used when 45 was POTUS; you just never paid attention so remained willfully clueless. Anyway, the point is the important people who need to understand the number do, hence the stock market rally. Those baffled by math are always going to be baffled. Sorry. 2 3

On the contrary they are frequently stand offish. But if you wish to consider greed and aggression I suggest you examine the last 200 years of American foreign policy. Trump was a Saint compared to other American presidents who war mongered, invaded, napalmed and destabilised countries like mad political rapist. He just divided his own country and moved it towards authoritarianism and inflamed domestic right wing terrorists. America First! 2

If you catch up as soon as you can you might make it before your edit time elapses. On the other hand, until Garland announced that he was going to apply to have the contents of the warrant revealed, Trump didn't offer to release it himself. Why is that? Looks like Garland called his bluff. 5

Popular Post Walker88 Posted August 12, 2022 Popular Post Posted August 12, 2022 Since this is not classified, I will give some additional insight into what could have prompted the warrant. The most sensitive nuclear related material is kept under locked guard in a part of the West Wing. Only a few individuals have access to it. It is SAP classification, as in Special Access Program. That means above both TS and Codeword classification. There are only hard copies, and their number is known. Disposition of a copy would have to be recorded, so the number is always known. The material is not uploaded into any of the usual systems. Anyone with a need to know is monitored when viewing the material, and when finished the copy is put back into the secure holding area. Access is recorded. If this is the level of material 45 took, it would not only be known that a copy is missing, there would be a record of who took it and when they took it. Thus, if 45 took it toward the end of his term after his defeat, that fact would be known. it has been revealed that one of the FBI agents involved is the Chief of FBI Counterintel. he would only be involved if the material sought had major natsec implications. If this is what 45 was keeping in a basement of MaL, not only is it a felony, but it represents a massive threat to the security of the US. It would be the height of recklessness. It is a brazen stupidity the likes of which is almost unimaginable. The documents under that hardened cover in the WH encompass a number of things, from weapons systems themselves, to strengths and vulnerabilities assessed in the US' own nukes, to US assessment of the strengths and vulnerabilities of both allies and adversaries' nukes, to a kind of nuke 'order of battle' in the event the nukes were ever put into action.. It would not be outlandish to say the Chinese or Russians would pay billions of dollars for these documents. There may not be more valuable documents anywhere in the US. If this is what comes out, it is hard to imagine any but the most captured and sycophantic 45 supporters still standing by him. 5 3

Because executing a search warrant is the last resort, when you are negotiating with a former President who lies and obfuscates when asked to return official documents. He's been doing that for 18 months. IMO the search warrant was only issued after the FBI produced iron-clad evidence Trump still had documents, Garland is a cautious person and would not have signed off on anything less. 5 1 1
