Re: Wendell Castle
My response to anyone bringing up default artist comparisons, is the same.
1. Burning Man is an attempt to beat back "default" behavior patterns to the degree it is possible. Tolerable "real world" commercial habits do not validate the encroachment of transaction based relationships in our own community.
2. In almost every instance, the *default artist* example is someone who BUILT community in the shared collaboration of constructing or reproducing their pieces. The artist in question, usually has a rooted relationship to their fabrication techniques, and function as a teacher and sometimes the leader of a movement. This is not the social effect parasitic imposters have.

Re: What's my conspiracy?
In 2004, a Russian-backed politician, Viktor Yanukovych, appeared to be elected president of Ukraine. But Yanukovych was rumored to have ties to organized crime, and the election was so full of fraud—including the poisoning of a key rival who wanted to break ties with Russia and align Ukraine with Europe—that the government voided the election and called for a do-over. Yanukovych needed a makeover fast, and for that he called on a political consultant with a reputation for making unsavory characters palatable to the media: Paul Manafort, the same man who went on to lead Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

Remember kids, conspiracies are real!
(to some)
"URGENT BLAST FROM EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DAVID MACDONALD TO ALL MUFON MEMBERS, FIELD INVESTIGATORS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC WHO FOLLOW MUFON, THE MUTUAL UFO NETWORK. WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW!
There are fast moving parts to the UFO Problem concerning the United States Government this year! There are the Tic-Tac sightings by pilots that came to light. There was the Report to Congress this summer and the now overdue follow-up report. However, this week, things took a great turn for UFOlogy and it requires everyone’s help! Democratic Senator from New York State Kirsten Gillibrand introduced legislation to establish, by amendment to a pending bill, the creation of a permanent office for UFO Investigations within the Federal Government. This Office would require ongoing reports to Congress every year on what our military and intelligence agencies are observing.
Gillibrand’s amendment to the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would establish an office in the Department of Defense to study UFOs, or unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). Per FOX News “According to Section 1652 of the proposed bill, which Congress could pick up as soon as later this month, the new office would replace the present Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force program in the U.S. Office of Naval Intelligence.
THIS AMENDMENT NEEDS TO PASS! YOU CAN HELP PASS IT!
MUFON is asking our members (American based and International), our Field Investigators and UFO researchers and enthusiasts in the general public throughout the world reading this to put pressure on the United States Senate and House of Representatives to pass this amendment to the Defense Bill. For too long the UFO question has been ridiculed. Today we worry about possible hypersonic Chinese missiles. But in 1955, hypersonic vehicles were already on our military’s radar! Yet, we pretended they did not exist. We need answers!
Please call, write or email these elected officials asking them to support this Office for UFO Investigations and to encourage them to work with MUFON!
MUFON has created a template letter for those of you interested to contact not only your area’s elected representative but also Senator Gillibrand herself to show your support. While International members and field investigators are not constituents of the U.S. Congress, your additional support by letter, email or phone call will still help to influence the outcome of this Bill. The Mutual UFO Network, MUFON, needs to play a major part in this possible governmental effort. We are the largest UFO investigative body in existence today. We have hundreds of investigators located across North America, Europe, Australia, South America and less well-known parts of the globe. These investigators include astronomers, pilots, geologists, computer scientists, psychologists, physicists and photo/video analysts. No one possesses the varied expertise to assist this possible new governmental entity like MUFON has! And if included, we will earnestly investigate each case with boots on the ground Field Investigators anywhere, anytime!
Only MUFON can do this!
We also have the definitive UFO database with over 118,000 UFO cases rich with critical information necessary in our investigations. We feel it is essential that not only this amendment be passed but that The Mutual UFO Network be a prime player in helping the United States Government solve this centuries old puzzle. Here is the information for reaching Senator Gillibrand and other elected representatives of both Houses of The United States Congress followed by a letter template each of you can use when writing to these elected officials! Thank you for your assistance!

Proposed Gillibrand Amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, Congressional Record, November 4, 2021, pp. S7814-S7816 (Senate Amendment 4281)
I have noticed with great interest this proposed amendment which relates to UFOs/UAPs. I want you to know that I support the Amendment wholeheartedly! It is a pertinent issue for America and the world. This mystery must be solved! The Amendment language proposes “new institutional arrangements” devoting “substantial resources” …. And to draw on UAP related expertise from outside the government.”
I would like to tell you about The Mutual UFO Network a.k.a. MUFON. No other person or organization is as qualified as MUFON to assist the government in this endeavor. MUFON is a Non-Profit organization established in 1969 after the closing of Project Blue Book, the US Air Force’s investigation of UFOs/UAPs. Being the largest civilian UAP investigating organization in the world with hundreds of thousands of sighting files and reports, no other private entity has such a comprehensive database to utilize.
They have 4600 Members/Observers and 600 trained, equipped and certified Field Investigators in all 50 States and 46 other countries. They investigate about 8000 cases per year of which 90-92% are explainable.
MUFON’s participation in your effort may be the stimulus the government needs to solve this riddle!

Re: What's my conspiracy?
Kimberly Guilfoyle, a top fundraiser for former President Donald Trump and the girlfriend of his son Donald Trump Jr., boasted to a GOP operative that she had raised $3 million for the rally that helped fuel the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
In a series of text messages sent on Jan. 4 to Katrina Pierson, the White House liaison to the event, Guilfoyle detailed her fundraising efforts and supported a push to get far-right speakers on the stage alongside Trump for the rally, which sought to overturn the election of President Joe Biden.
Guilfoyle’s texts, reviewed by ProPublica, represent the strongest indication yet that members of the Trump family circle were directly involved in the financing and organization of the rally. The attack on the Capitol that followed it left five dead and scores injured.

Figliuzzi said that the researchers took a sample of 32,315 pro-Rittenhouse hashtag tweets on Nov 19-20. The data showed 29,609 tweets came from Twitter accounts that disabled geolocation. "Of those, 17,701 were listed as "foreign", but a deep scrub revealed most of those were in Russia, China, and the EU," he said.

KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is claiming there’s a danger of a Russia-backed coup against him next week involving one of Ukraine’s top oligarchs — Rinat Akhmetov.
Zelenskiy laid out the charges at a rapidly scheduled press conference Friday, saying he had recordings of people from Akhmetov’s circle, in Ukraine and Russia, discussing a coup with $1 billion price tag.
“It’s not only intelligence that we have, it’s also audio intercepts, where representatives of Ukraine, so to speak, discuss with representatives of Russia Rinat Akhmetov’s participation in the coup in Ukraine,” the president said.

Re: What's my conspiracy?
"Facebook has sold ads promoting anti-vaccine messages, comparing the US government's response to Covid-19 to Nazi Germany, casting doubt on the result of the 2020 election, and even pushing political violence.
The ads have been run by merchandise companies that have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Facebook over the last few years.
On Monday, Fox News personality Lara Logan caused outrage by comparing Dr. Anthony Fauci to a notorious Nazi doctor known as the "Angel of Death" — around the same time ads were running on Facebook promoting a sweater emblazed with the words, "I'm originally from America but I currently reside in 1941 Germany."
Another ad compared the rollout of vaccines to the Holocaust — falsely and ludicrously implying they are part of an attempt to slaughter people on a mass scale."

Death threats from angry Trump supporters forced Georgia election worker Ruby Freeman, a 62-year-old grandmother, to flee her home of 20 years. Some messages called for her hanging; one urged people to “hunt” her. Freeman showed hundreds of menacing messages to police and called 911 three times.

"The visitor, Trevian Kutti, gave her name but didn't say she worked for West, a longtime billionaire friend of Trump. She said she was sent by a "high-profile individual," whom she didn't identify, to give Freeman an urgent message: confess to Trump's voter-fraud allegations, or people would come to her home in 48 hours, and she'd go to jail."
"Media reports have cited her association with the rapper since 2018, when she ceased working with R. Kelly, an R&B singer who was convicted in September of racketeering and sex-trafficking charges. Kutti's biography says she is the founder of Trevian Worldwide, a media and entertainment advisory firm with offices in four cities. Among her clients, she says, are boxer Terence Crawford and Queen Rania Al Abdullah of Jordan."

Stripped of power, Missouri health depts abandon COVID health measures
Health officials struggle to understand a court ruling the state AG refuses to appeal.
Still, health officials in Laclede and elsewhere are pulling back rather than ramping up health prevention measures, citing a December 7 letter from state Attorney General Eric Schmitt. The letter informed them of a recent court ruling that stripped state health agencies of a variety of disease-prevention powers, particularly regarding issuing isolation and quarantine orders. "You should stop enforcing and publicizing any such orders immediately," the letter read.

"The internet's on fire right now," said Adam Meyers, senior vice president of intelligence at the cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike. "People are scrambling to patch," he said, "and all kinds of people scrambling to exploit it." He said Friday morning that in the 12 hours since the bug's existence was disclosed that it had been "fully weaponized," meaning malefactors had developed and distributed tools to exploit it.

Republicans and Democrats divided over Jan. 6 insurrection and Trump’s culpability, Post-UMD poll finds
One year after the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol, Republicans and Democrats are deeply divided over what happened that day and the degree to which former president Donald Trump bears responsibility for the assault, amid more universal signs of flagging pride in the workings of democracy at home, according to a Washington Post-University of Maryland poll.
Partisan divisions related both to the Jan. 6 assault and the 2020 presidential election color nearly every issue raised in the survey, from how much violence occurred at the Capitol that day to the severity of the sentences handed down to convicted protesters to whether President Biden was legitimately elected. Only on a question about injured law enforcement officers is there broad bipartisan agreement.
The percentage of Americans who say violent action against the government is justified at times stands at 34 percent, which is considerably higher than in past polls by The Post or other major news organizations dating back more than two decades. Again, the view is partisan: The new survey finds 40 percent of Republicans, 41 percent of independents and 23 percent of Democrats saying violence is sometimes justified.
[Read full Post-UMD poll results]
On Jan. 6, the day Congress was to ratify the 2020 electoral college vote, Trump claimed at a rally near the White House that the election had been rigged and urged his followers to “fight like hell” to stop what he said was a stolen outcome. Many of his supporters walked to the Capitol from the rally and took part in the violence.
Overall, 60 percent of Americans say Trump bears either a “great deal” or a “good amount” of responsibility for the insurrection, but 72 percent of Republicans and 83 percent of Trump voters say he bears “just some” responsibility or “none at all.”
Most Democrats and independents say Trump bears a "great deal" or a "good amount" of blame for Jan. 6 attack on Capitol
Trump’s attacks on the legitimacy of the election have spawned ongoing efforts in some states to revisit the results. No such inquiry has turned up anything to suggest that the certified results were inaccurate. That has not blunted a persistent belief by most of his supporters that the election was somehow rigged.
Overall, the Post-UMD survey finds that 68 percent of Americans say there is no solid evidence of widespread fraud but 30 percent say there is.
Big majorities of Democrats (88 percent) and independents (74 percent) say there is no evidence of such irregularities, but 62 percent of Republicans say there is such evidence. That is almost identical to the percentage of Republicans who agreed with Trump’s claims of voter fraud a week after that Capitol attack, based on a Washington Post-ABC News poll at the time.
About 7 in 10 Americans say Biden’s election as president was legitimate, but that leaves almost 3 in 10 who say it was not, including 58 percent of Republicans and 27 percent of independents. The 58 percent of Republicans who say Biden was not legitimately elected as president is down somewhat from 70 percent in a Post-ABC poll conducted in January shortly after the Capitol attack.
Among those who say they voted for Trump in 2020, 69 percent now say Biden was not legitimately elected, while 97 percent of Biden voters say the current president was legitimately elected.
Republicans’ rejection of Biden’s victory is not novel. In a fall 2017 Post-UMD poll, 67 percent of Democrats and 69 percent of Hillary Clinton voters said Trump was not legitimately elected president. The current poll was conducted Dec. 17-19 by The Post and the University of Maryland’s Center for Democracy and Civic Engagement.

Overall, the new survey reflects how much the partisan wars continue to rage across the country a full year after the Jan. 6 riot. Trump has fueled the discord with falsehoods about election irregularities, and most Republican elected officials have turned their backs on any serious investigation of the roots of the attack and exactly what transpired that day. Hopes for unity have largely faded as doubts about democracy have grown.
The Jan. 6 attack left one police officer and four others dead, and scores injured, particularly those in law enforcement who were overwhelmed for a time as the mob of protesters broke into the Capitol. Since then, some Republicans have sought to play down the violence, with one member of Congress even saying the mob resembled ordinary tourists rather than attackers.
Trump also has sought to minimize the violence of the day, contending falsely in December that “remember, the insurrection took place on November 3rd, it was the completely unarmed protest of the rigged election that took place on January 6th.”
Today, 54 percent of Americans characterize the protesters who entered the Capitol as “mostly violent,” while 19 percent call them “mostly peaceful” and another 27 percent say they were equally peaceful and violent. Broken down by party, 78 percent of Democrats describe the protesters as mostly violent compared with 26 percent of Republicans. Thirty-six percent of Republicans say the protesters were mostly peaceful, compared to 5 percent of Democrats.
About 1 in 4 Republicans say people who entered Capitol on Jan. 6 were mostly violent
A bare majority overall (51 percent) say the legal punishments for those who broke the law that day are not harsh enough, with 19 percent saying they are too harsh and 28 percent saying overall they have been fair. The partisan differences are virtually identical to perceptions about how violent the protesters were, with 77 percent of Democrats calling the penalties not harsh enough compared with 26 percent of Republicans. Seven in 10 Republicans say the penalties have been either fair (38 percent) or too harsh (32 percent).
An estimated 140 law enforcement personnel were injured during the attack, a fact that overwhelming majorities of Democrats, Republicans and independents agree happened. The survey finds that 96 percent of Democrats, 81 percent of Republicans and 84 percent of independents say that protesters injured police during the attack.
Partisan divisions also largely disappear on a question about pride in democracy itself, with 54 percent saying they are either “very” or “somewhat” proud of the way democracy is working in the United States. That includes 60 percent of Democrats, 58 percent of Republicans and 51 percent of independents.
But that finding, while narrowly in positive territory, highlights what has been a dramatic and steady two-decade decline in how Americans feel about their democracy. In the fall of 2002, a year after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, 90 percent of adults expressed pride in the workings of American democracy. Twelve years later, it had fallen to 74 percent and, in the fall of 2017, it had dropped again to 63 percent.
Notably, in 2002, 49 percent of adults said they were “very proud” of the way democracy was working in this country. In the new survey, that number had plunged to 11 percent as both sides found reasons for dismay.
Two decades ago, Republicans and Democrats were uniform in their pride in democracy, with more than 9 in 10 in each party expressing positive views. That trend continued throughout the following decade or more, though overall pride in democracy was sliding down among both groups and independents. In 2017, a partisan division opened, with Republicans more positive than Democrats in the wake of Trump’s election. Today, as the percentage who express pride has fallen further, Republicans and Democrats are closer together in their views; about 4 in 10 of each say they are not proud.
A majority of most demographic groups in the survey expressed pride in democracy. But two somewhat overlapping groups stand out for their pessimism. Among independents who say they do not lean to either party, 58 percent say they are not proud of the current workings of U.S. democracy. Similarly, among those ages 18-29, 54 percent have a negative perception of democracy as it exists in this country today.
There is little difference in perceptions depending on which cable news sources they watch. Those who watch Fox News and those who watch CNN have almost identical views about how they feel about democracy today. In both cases, nearly 6 in 10 say they have some pride about democracy’s workings, while among those who watch MSNBC, just over 6 in 10 are positive.
The past year has seen an intense debate over the rules and regulations governing elections. In some Republican-controlled states, new laws have been passed that would restrict voting, with some provisions seen as falling hardest on African Americans, Hispanics and the elderly. Democrats nationally have championed federal legislation designed to expand voting rights but have not been able to get their bills through the Senate.
Looking ahead, more than 1 in 3 Americans say they are not confident that their votes will be counted in the 2022 elections, including nearly 6 in 10 Republicans and under 2 in 10 Democrats. Similarly, about 1 in 3 adults overall say they are not confident that all eligible citizens will have an opportunity to vote, with Democrats more pessimistic in this case than Republicans.
Majorities of Democrats and Republicans doubt the other party will accept election results in states they control, though Democrats are more skeptical of Republicans than vice versa. Among Republicans, 56 percent say they are not confident that state officials in Democratic-controlled states will accept election results if their party loses, while 43 percent are confident in this.
Among Democrats, 67 percent are not confident that officials in Republican-controlled states will accept a losing result, while 32 percent are confident. Among independents, 71 percent are confident that officials in Democratic-led states will accept a losing result, compared with 51 percent who say the same about Republican-controlled states.
Americans less confident that Republican state officials will accept result if their party loses
The poll was conducted among 1,101 U.S. adults. They were interviewed through the AmeriSpeak Panel, the probability-based survey panel of nonpartisan research organization NORC at the University of Chicago. Interviews were conducted online and by phone; overall results have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points.
