When even Glenn Greenwald is taking Trump's side – you know there is something sinister going on with the lunatic left
This clip from Tucker Carlson interviewing Glen Greenwald is really blowing my mind. Greenwald is the high priest of 'transparency' and a total darling of the left wing.
Well, he used to be. Here is Glen Greenwald talking about being censored by the publication that he founded (on the principles of freedom of censorship) because he wanted to discuss serious concerns about Joe Biden.
Yesterday and today we see a Kennedy attacking the cynical fear politics of the left and today here is another blazing bright star of the left appearing in defence of Trump. The lunatic left in the US have gone completely insane, they are so far left they moved right out of the US and are now in China.
Seriously, we are in the middle of something amazing. This period in time is going to be a focus on future history teaching – it is going to be an example of all the great flaws of 20th century democracy and it is going to be one of those things that people are going to scratch their heads about how collectively insane humanity became – like the Tulip mania in Holland in the 1630s, the Spanish Inquisition and the Salem witch trials.
I know it's amazingly bad – but how cool is it to be living right in the middle of history being made. Let's hope we get safely out the other side!
I'm going back to bed.
It's called the inevitable rise of conservatism. Give the looney left enough rope and they will hang themselves.
It's going to get really ugly next week when they see the results of the election.-
I think the fix is in against Trump. I hope it overcomes it. I want to see Obama and Biden being threatened with orange jumpsuits.
If he does get 4 more years – he will be the greatest US president since Teddy Roosevelt or maybe even Washington.
I have a nagging doubt you could be right about the fix, DP. But I hope ED is right !!
I'm a believer in what I call the pendulum theory. When something swings so far in one direction –in this case the madness from the left, the issue will dramatically go back in the other direction (Ed's rise in conservatism). At this stage I do not see the trigger to make that swing happen. It will likely swing too far in the other direction before settling near the middle.
It looks like Pelosi thinks the fix is in as well.
Why is this chick speaking in German, she's really talking about Covid Cindy
My various social media feeds are always bombarded with images of "strong female leaders" like Covid Cindy, like Melissa Gates, like Michelle/Michael Obama.
But funnily they're all wingnut loony globalist-fascists. I never get reminded what an amazing female leader Candice Owen is, or Kim Klacik or the person featured in the video linked below – Alice Wiedal the leader of AfD party in Germany (the AfD are still ignored by NZ media despite the fact they have 94 seats in the Bundestag and were the 3rd largest party in the 2017 election).
Here is Alice Wiedel talking about the insanity of Angela Merkel's policies and how she's turned Germany into a pauper country by single-mindedly destroying various sectors of the economy and "Corona socialism".
Everything she says more or less applies to what Covid Cindy has done and wants to do.
The globalist NWO leaders like Cindy, Trudeau, Merkel are all following more or less the same plan to destroy capitalism:
– destroy energy self-sufficiency under the mantle of environmentalism
– subjugate the populace through fear
– usher in hordes of refugees to destabilise the culture
– destroy productive sectors of the economy through idiotic over-regulation.-
I have watched a couple of videos/ speeches by Alice Wiedel. She is all class !!
BTW. Remember before the election it came out that Ardern had been talking and getting advice from Merkel on Covid.( Maybe to try to show Ardern has big friends). I do not who or how it is being done but the whole issue seems to be co-ordinated somehow.
That red if a "link" ? does not work.
Anyway here is some great back ground on Alice Wiedel even if from a few years ago, 11 May 2017The Local sat down with Dr Alice Weidel, the new leader of the Alternative for Germany. She may have the CV of an establishment liberal, but a half hour in her company exposed a firebrand who doesn't hide her disdain for Chancellor Angela Merkel. ….
…. 'The only real opposition' …
… 'Merkel is insane' ….
….. 'Stone age Islam' …..
….. 'No racists' in the AfD …..
…… 'I am married' …..
…. 'A shark tank' ….

Did you see this? We truly are witnessing incredible times. The gloves are off in the presidential race.
Trump STUNS Rally Crowd, Blasts Video Exposing Biden's Lies on Giant ScreensPresident Trump STUNNED the crowd at his rally this week by pulling up a video showing Joe Biden's long history of lies. WATCH Trump taunt Biden for hiding in the basement:
wg, that video shows it well, and as Rudy here backs up very with some of the detail that would be directly use as evidence at a trial.
Not only did Biden betray the USA,
He used his own son, wrecked his life, to gain "plausible deniability"Joe Biden PARTNERED With Chinese COMMUNISTS For $30M | Rudy Giuliani |
32 mins 52 secs. : • Oct 28, 2020Though it is a tad long, Rudy does a great easily understood explanation, on just one phase of the Chinese deal, and shows some great insights in the goings of the BIdens, Clintons & some Democrats.
Some of those characters in the "deal" are in jail, and/or have been dealt too.
Thanks for that Simpleton. Bit of a ramble by Rudy as he presents the case. The last five minutes summed it up.
Have a good day!
Gutfeld on media coverage of latest Hunter Biden news
Yes Chuck Bird, while the rest of the media + big tech censor.
"Fox is having its biggest ratings of its entire existence".The case seems to be made, enough points from Tony Bobulinski.
Rudy Giuliani seems to have a good understanding of the details for a full proscecution.Some of the others in the deal are in jail, more facts to come out, and I guess the timing for an arrest, is to be made at the best opportune time.
Before, during or after the election?What actual value can one put on a Biden vote?
Then the lowest rating Democrat candidate was Kamala Harriss.Or is it a bit more rope? to confirm tie ups? and then the "drop"?
Just wait until some one can put the question to Joe BIden.
Biden campaign spokesman Jamal Brown does NOT deny that Joe Biden met with Hunter's business partner Tony Bobulinski, who is now blowing the whistle on the Biden family's Chinese pay to play scheme.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1321916502631682051His fingers are trying to hold on to a grip, as he is left dangling.
Some one to even ask Kamala Harriss
a) if she meet, Tony Bobulinski?
b) did she know of Tony Bobulinski?
c) did she know any of those people caught up in those CCP business deals?
History is now.
And it's cindymania!

First she assured the children the Easter Bunny would still be coming despite the China virus and now it's promoting Christmas card competitions for children. Manipulating the young and impressionable is beyond low. I can't bring myself to read the article but putting it up so you can see what Dear Leader is all about.
Jacinda Ardern asks the children of NZ to help design official Christmas card
Jacinda Ardern has addressed the nation's young people this evening, petitioning them to help her design this year's official prime ministerial Christmas card.
I bet it won't have baby Jesus on it!

Where is she?
Hijab fitting, mohumads of Tuvalu are the only place to be seen.
As an unrepentant Marxist / Islamist, Cindy's 'request' is, at minimum. bizarre, but hey, anything to promote the image.
I doubt that her LDS-orientated parents will be particularly impressed….
Not new.
She's done that every year she's been PM.
For the value of "free speech", but really, are they going to stay the course, after implanting "hate speech" laws?
LONDON (Reuters) – Britain's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab called on NATO allies to stand shoulder-to-shoulder on values of tolerance and free speech, in a veiled rebuke to Turkey which has been calling for a boycott of French goods.
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has urged Turks to stop buying French goods and has accused France of pursuing an anti-Islam agenda. Britain, France and Turkey are all NATO members.
Erdogan is one of several leaders in the Muslim world angry with France over its response to the murder of teacher Samuel Paty, who showed pupils cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad as part of a lesson on free speech.
"The UK stands in solidarity with France and the French people in the wake of the appalling murder of Samuel Paty," Raab said in a statement. "Terrorism can never and should never be justified.
"NATO allies and the wider international community must stand shoulder-to-shoulder on the fundamental values of tolerance and free speech, and we should never give terrorists the gift of dividing us."
The French government, backed by large numbers of citizens, saw the beheading as an attack on free speech and said they would defend the right to display the cartoons.
President Emmanuel Macron called Paty a hero and pledged to fight what he described as Islamic separatism, saying it was threatening to take over some Muslim communities in France.
The reaction to Paty's murder has caused widespread anger in Muslim countries, where there have been anti-French demonstrations and calls for boycott.
France has warned its citizens in several Muslim-majority countries to take extra security precautions.
https://in.reuters.com/article/uk-france-security-boycott-britain/amid-france-turkey-row-uk-calls-on-nato-allies-to-defend-free-speech-idUKKBN27D0X3It is going to be costly for NATO to remove Turkey from NATO.
Have they the resolve?
Each countries contributions need to increase,Will the EEC shut the door on Turkey? not only make some savings, but trim their budget too.
A lot of those bureaucratic politicians will fight against that-
Some people are offended by the hissing of the pressure cooker safety valve and demand restrictions to silence it…
Ka boom 🙂
Powerful quake hits sea between Turkey and Greece
The Greens are totally losing their shit over the Cannabis referendum result.
Jack McDonald is calling for the vote to be ignored as opinions of 'Racist Pakeha' shouldn't count!
Does that mean we overturn the General Election result as well Jack?-
The irony.
"Pakeha are racist" is a racist statement. -
"It is not OK" that the Greens are ok with cultural appropriation by maori people. 🙂
After all marijuana was never a native plant in New Zealand.-
Cultural appropriation.
I saw a car with the text "Ngapuhi" in a large flowing cursive font on the back window. Would that not be an example of cultural appropriation?
If Maori iwi complain about the use of moko curves in graphic art for commercial products, then I think it only fair that the cursive fonts of Europe not be used by iwi to promote themselves.
I did not follow the "weed" debate in detail because I had made up my mind very early on (I was a NO vote).
But was it explained what happens will drug testing for job sites –large fishing vessels, logging companies etc ? If weed was to be legal did that supersede the Health and Safety regs? Someone turns up to work and is tested and found to be positive to a legal substance –could the boss tell him/her to get off the work site?-
Inconsequential details Ross! Chloe can't understand why she can't have her fancy Newmarket cannabis outlets.
Police broke up the "unlawful" demonstration after the group failed to provide the local authority with a sufficient risk assessment.
Officers have advised those taking part to disperse and are engaging with the crowds but will use enforcement action where necessary.
Some people could be seen holding signs reading: 'Islam is the religion of love and peace', 'Respect our Prophet' and 'Emmanuel Macron do not divide humanity'.
The group were also heard chanting "Allahu Akbar" outside the embassy and seen pausing for a moment of prayer.

very difficult to respect this prophet who had men and women who spoke against him assassinated. One elderly women had each arm and leg tied to a camel who were then driven in different directions and a young women who was in bed nursing her baby with the rest of her chidren around her. Such a wonderful man!Respct – I don't think so!
It needs to get much worse. The French have not been punished nearly enough.
Just stay out of NZ!
The former prime minister of Malaysia said Muslims have "a right to be angry and kill millions of French people" just hours after an attacker yelling "Allahu akbar!" beheaded one woman and killed two others in a church in France. ….
…. Dr. Mahathir Mohamad, who railed against Western culture and French President Emmanuel Macron for refusing to denounce the caricatures of the Prophet Mohammad that have sparked three attacks in two months in France. ….
Macron has also vowed to fight "Islamist separatism" in the wake of the beheading of school teacher Samuel Paty in a Paris suburb on Oct. 16.
"Macron is not showing that he is civilized. He is very primitive in blaming the religion of Islam and Muslims for the killing of the insulting school teacher. It is not in keeping with the teachings of Islam," …. …
[yeah right]….. "the West" shouldn't impose its views and values on others.
"To do so is to deprive the freedom of these people,"
https://nypost.com/2020/10/29/malaysia-pm-muslims-have-right-to-kill-millions-of-french-people/A Doctor, supposedly intelligent, an ex prime Minister seems to not only condone murder, but encourages, and exhorts for more killings, indeed seeking massacres.
No way should any supposed "intelligent" Malaysian be allowed in NZ., no matter how many immigration points they may have in skills, education, youth etc…
Been to Malaysia a couple of times. Didnt like it. Didnt like the people..at all.
Yes it is weird isn't it? Thailand is just a lovely country, even though it is packed full of people it feels civilised and safe, get down south to about Hat Yai and the whole 'feel' of Thailand changes, get in to Malaysia and it's basically just another 3rd world shithole country. Islam is not a good cultural influence anywhere I travelled around the world.
You've probably heard of the biodiversity hypothesis: the idea that kids who grow up in sterile environments are more likely to get sick (also known as the 'let them eat dirt' rule). Researchers from Finland have now produced the first conclusive evidence that it's true, with an awesome experiment that involved putting forest floors into urban playgrounds. Wired
What Forest Floor Playgrounds Teach Us About Kids and Germs
As dusk fell on the Finnish city of Lahti on a still chilly day in May 2016, a crew of workers let themselves into the yard of an empty daycare center. Underneath the swings and jungle gyms, they installed squares of forest floor—scruffy shrubs, shin-high berry bushes, wispy meadow grasses, and velvety mounds of moss—harvested from the woods somewhere in a less developed part of the country. Around the edges, they put in soft green sod. In the morning, when the children arrived, they found their playground—formerly a drab patchwork of asphalt, gravel, and sand—transformed overnight into micro-oases of wilderness.https://www.wired.com/story/what-forest-floor-playgrounds-teach-us-about-kids-and-germs/
Now this is worth a read.

Republicans dont loot and riot. Only lefty fucks do. I hope if trump wins and the riots start he unleashes the army on them. A couple of million less lefty fuckwits on the streets would be a good result. Don't want to die, don't fucking riot. I have nothing agaisnt peaceful protest, but rioting and looting is another thing.
It will be interesting when the anarchists, BLM, Antifa et al decide to maraude through the 'burbs and go out into rural America.
American farmers and small-town dwellers know how to hunt 'critters', so larger (human) targets should present no problems…

Tucker Carlson had Biden documents that 'vanished.' Here's why you should believe him.Glen Beck "We're living in a jason bourne movie"
"I don't trust anyone"-
wg, very good as also another version of that news.
I have seen where the some of these are even closed down by twitter and Utube, like the full 49 minutes interview with Tucker and Bobulinski which has proven difficult to find as claimed in comments and the link I had watched and posted is now closed down under a "copy right" excuse. So always good to post another version.
A glance through some comments.
Who is playing who?
Where is the truth?Yes to the earlier comment, that Rudy Giuliani sums up & puts it together in the last 5 minutes of that tad longish video.
I thought the documents eventually turned up in the mail – the American postal service seems to be musch the same as ours!
Yes they did but someone had opened the package and removed the flash drive. They arrived separately at Fox news. Why?
Surprise, surprise there is an election looming in France.
Macron CRACKS DOWN on Islam in France in a MASSIVE TURN to the Nationalist Populist Right!!!-
Macron has identified "Islam-o-Fascism" as being the issue.
That certainly is a way the doctrine can be found in the koran, hadith, & sira.Macron turning to "far-right" popularity, just for the sake of an election, so that his "flying pig" will keep his snout in the trough.
Would Macron really change his spots? as he stays with his cougar wife.-
The Macrons relationship is a weird setup. On that alone I would question his judgement.
Marine La Pen of the National Rally political party is a real threat to Macron's reelection.
Trump is now going to have 5 rallies a day, until election day. I have always admired his energy. Most 40 year olds could not keep up with him.
But it does raise questions about him getting Covid. I'm definitely not suggesting he was not sick, he obviously was. But was it Covid and if it was, is this virus as bad as they say ? Are all those who end up in ICU actually there because of Covid or is it pneumonia or some other respiratory virus.
Did President Trump actually have a very bad dose of the "24 hour flu" ?-

The Great Reset / The New Green Deal
(Propaganda from the corrupt TIME magazine and WEF)
It's 2023. Here's How We Fixed the Global EconomyThe U.S. began to change its approach after Nov. 3, 2020, when Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump in the presidential election and the Democrats held the majority in both houses of Congress. Following his Inauguration in January 2021, President Biden moved quickly to rebuild frayed ties between America and Europe, setting up a forum to share collective intelligence that could inform a smarter form of government. European governments were eager to learn from the investment strategies used by the U.S. government—like those led by defense research agency DARPA—to spur research and development in high-risk technologies. And the U.S. was eager to learn from Europe how to create sustainable cities and reinvigorate civic participation.

A bit of "free expression" for the people in Melbourne.
Headed out into Melbourne to document some of the trucks travelling around the city today with billboards inviting Melbournians to share their lockdown complaints against Dan.
The police showed up at most of the locations, and asked for details from the drivers/people near the trucks.
The police have also forgotten or are unaware of the current 'lockdown rules' as they asked people near the truck for what reason they had left home (currently Victorians do not need a reason to leave home)."Daniel Andrews is Guilty Billboard Trucks around Melbourne"

It was all Tamati Coffees fault. He's the lowest on the totem pole!
Porirua, a working class suburb of largely brown folk, is now the most expensive region to rent in NZ.
By every measure Labour has made housing worse.
The market must be left to collapse. The current situation is not due to the market, it is due to govt policy of printing money.
Cindy is just selling off old housing so she can build modern and insulated homes. Exactly what National were doing, but National bad, Labour good. Cindy double speak. Nothing to see here. // 😈
Apart from the fact that Cindy slagged off National for doing it. Hypocritical cow.
She is building nothing. Her policies have devastated, renters, buyers, and investors.
Of course a few have done ok on paper. It won't last.
Disagree Birdy bird. Infact, house and land prices are only going in one direction..and that's up. Mortgage interest rates dropping like a stone, FOMO , returnees from overseas..cash buyers. NZ is a sought after destination right now. Mark my words. Up up up.
Auckland is reminding me of Tokyo and Yokohama in the 1980s. The land is everything. Even perfectly good houses (only 30 years old) would be demolished so that 2 or 3 pencil houses could be built on the 160-square-meter plot of the original house. Larger plots of land would have low-rise apartments built on them.
A house doesn't generate revenue if the tenants lose their jobs. Capital gain won't happen if there is a recession or a population decline or a rise in interest rates.
The NZ government can simply use the immigration taps to maintain the hydraulic lifting pressure on house prices. They can keep this up indefinitely, but it risks permanently changing the fabric of NZ society. If Kiwis are happy with this, then go for it. (It goes hand-in-hand with policies of "diversity" and "multiculturalism".)
Another form of crony capitalism.
A government subsidized accommodation allowance.
It now seems to have a government guarantee in place, that has some key triggers.
Not perfect, but takes away some risk.-
Subsidies are like a drug. They take away the pain, but soon you can no longer function without them.
yep, takes away the pain and some of the symptons.
The pain that would cause one to reflect, and take proper action and keep trying, that would go a long way to solve the painful problem.An institution with out real goals, wants every one to be drugged up.
Then they can measure everything as a success.All hand in hand with no accountability for other people's money.

I am a liberal Greenie. I want our society and system reset. We are living an unsustainable lifestyle, socially, environmental y and economically. And it's not working.
But the toxic divisive politics of Ardernism are not the way forward. The left are about power and control. Not about people or the environment.
Our options are not alt left or rampant capitalism. That's a lack of imagination, not a lack of choice.
Swarbrick shows her true colours. Arrogant, condescending, sore loser.
She even had swipe at Ardern for not giving her view before the election. It was one thing I thought Ardern got right , in my view.
Her true colur is green, as in a little green monster!
To think that she could be the leader of the greens!-
Blow Me Swarbrick is an irrelevant, narcissistic piece
of trash. A failure in every aspect of her pathetic life.
Ideal though, for the public to see how fucked up
the Green party actually is.
This is very clever from the NY Post after Twitter re-instates it's account.
Good on them, one needs a laugh and a good point to make.
But there are still a number of big tech companies being totally devious.
Face book, google, utube.
I don't get it. Well I kind of do.
Why are labour going to bring the greens in as govt?
Surely there can only be one reason. To fuck us all over all the more faster and harder. They share a marxist view of the world so may as well team up against us!https://www.odt.co.nz/news/national/greens-vote-proposed-labour-deal
My relief has been short lived. Be afraid. And may God defend NZ.
Most likely Ardern has nothing to do with this, in her ignorance even if she donned a coolie hat and then claim plausible deniability, she is still very much the Leader of the Labour Party.
So who are her "bagmen"?Allegations of foreign interference in New Zealand have highlighted concerns about its role in the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing alliance, whose other members are the US, Britain, Canada, and Australia.
The small size of New Zealand and its growing closeness to China could pose a risk to the alliance.Zhang is already embroiled in a controversy where he had donated over a million dollars to New Zealand's main opposition party, the National Party.
The probability is extremely high that Zhang could be part of Xi Jinping's 'magic weapon' i.e. the United Front.
A philanthropist coughing up large amounts of money to both opposition and the party in power does not make any sense—unless CCP is pulling strings to make inroads into the political landscape of the country. ………… While Zhang was in the middle of controversy for his donations to the opposition party, earlier this year, Southland Mayor Gary Tong was in China as a guest of Zhang.
Zhang was made an informal business advisor to Southland earlier in 2018 and it inadvertently explains Zhang's growing clout in the local government of New Zealand.
TFI has reported time and again that one of the slyest Chinese tactics to win influence in a foreign country is to buy off the big journalistic institutions, the political legislators, opening propagandist Confucius schools and CCP is well on its way to doing that in New Zealand. …..
https://tfipost.com/2020/07/jacinda-ardern-is-under-probe-for-alleged-links-with-ccp-that-makes-kiwi-politics-completely-sinophilic/amp/So sure it is among other inquiries, and hopefully beyond influence.
https://www.sfo.govt.nz/sfo-commences-investigation-in-relation-to-labour-party-donationsI would also wonder if the Greens have connections.
Sue Bradford, a former MP greenie, was at one stage very supportive of Mao.
This past decade, NZ has 3 Confucius institutes tied in with universities.Maybe like the BIden family, it is all in having "plausible deniability" and they can in meantime infer an unconscious bias of McCarthyism until there is enough evidence exposed

https://trendingpolitics.com/group-that-installed-giant-trump-sign-near-l-a-makes-killer-ad-claiming-he-can-win-california-video/The sign served two purposes. It was a psychological warfare operation designed to counter the psychological warfare that Newsom, Garcetti and the Democrat-run California government has been running since the lockdown. Putting the word "TRUMP" on a hillside over the 405 — itself a symbol of beauty, aggravation and dysfunction — was intended to let the progressive Eloi of Los Angeles know that dissidents — MOTIVATED dissidents — live among them.

These areas of cooperation reflect common goals between the Labour and Green Parties, and represent areas where the policy and experience of the Green Party provides a positive contribution to the Labour Government.
The Labour and Green Parties will work together in good faith and cooperate with each other in respect of executive and Parliamentary activities to advance these shared goals, including any public statements. The Prime Minister's letters of expectations to Ministers will reflect the areas of policy cooperation and consultation processes required. ………There are about 40 points on this news release.

I think there may be some under-study, parts to ministries, nice pay if you can get it.
So who will be a greenie cunt and defy Marama a minister-ship?
Chloe will be pissed. The only green to actually be elected by voters and she gets nothing.
Yep she should be the leading green. Elected, not list!
She doesn't need further encouragement Sooty.
Once she hunkers down to eat more rug, she'll be fine…
At least they don't have a four year term but three years is plenty of time for the COL to F things up.
Hopefully this should just be a 3 year term at the most, as term length seems to be on the agenda.
Next election may be for a 4 year term.17. Beyond these stated areas of cooperation, it is also the Government's intention to work with political parties from across Parliament (including the opposition) on issues that affect our democracy, including the Electoral Commission's 2012 recommended changes to MMP, electoral finance law, and the length of the Parliamentary term.
When you have a left wing government there is no way you would want them for four years.
Watch them manipulate this issue in time for the next election. -
It does not seem to be any part in the "cooperation agreement" but I am sure there the birds of a feather will move & support at the opportune time a major change in "free speech" incorporating "human rights" so "hate speech laws" can be put in place.
New Zealanders, we need much more info on what Paul Hunt with his human rights report, not long released, and the ramification of it pairing up with Andrew Little's legislation.
I see cindy has given a big fat middle finger to all the twats who party voted for a centre left govt by appointing jimmy two mums and c word davidson as ministers.
Actually could be a good thing looking forward to the next election. No one in their right mind will ever vote Labour to keep the Greens out again.
NZ now has over double the rate of Covid 19 that OZ does.
NZ now has over double the rate of fuckwits that Aussie has.
The recent election was proof of that.
Tame jack on tv1 trying to say that the right is going loot and riot if Trump doesn't win!
I say bullshit to you! It more likely be the left and blm that loot and riot!-
Don't waste your time watching shit, Sooty.
It's the exact opposite. The right will accept the result. The left won't. Good thing if civil war does break out , the right are far better gunned up than the left.
God-damn Halloween!
Here in Orakei there are a high proportion of welfare families, so their sense of general entitlement and "let's get free stuff" is strong. Outside right now it's like the Zombie Apocalypse!We are not answering the door. (My ninja suit is at the drycleaners and my ninjato (ninja sword) is in storage.)
I should have prepared… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMepB1aK1v8-
Just stand at the door & hand out copies of the "situations vacant".
That will scare most of them into full flight!
Nah, live in the bush… Dont get any pesky teenagers. I don't mind young kids, but teenagers are a pain.
Democrats have a chance of winning the election, but they're never going to win the gun fight.
The Rochester Minnesota local Democrats tried to limit the size of Trump's rally crowd – it didn't work.
WATCH: Laura Ingraham on crisscrossing the country with President Trump today!-
wg. are you on the same plane? 🙂
Any way noted your landing here, and this dovetails in on that restricted Minnesota rally. 🙂from another reporter.
3 min 33 secsGood to feel the buzz, as it all sounds good, but I still prefer to count the chickens after they hatch. 🙂
God made marijuana
Man made alcohol
In God we trust.
The yeast made the alcohol.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is my favorite single-celled fungus.-
If we understood the concept of freedom we wouldn't be begging the government to allow us to use a plant.
Anyone who drinks alcohol & calls recreational drug users losers is a hypocrite……pure & simple.
"Anyone who drinks alcohol & calls recreational drug users losers is a hypocrite……pure & simple."
If you pay money to a party that you can be sure will not declare their income and pay their taxes then you are a loser for supporting this illegal market and the associated organized crime groups who benefit from it. (This is regardless of the health effects of the unregulated drug.)Similarly, I opposed the normalization of the homosexual lifestyle on the grounds of health & safety. Logically, if you support the suppression of smoking due to shortened life expectancy, then you must also suppress the advocacy of the homosexual lifestyle for the same reason. It has nothing to do with religion.
Reference: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9923159/
Previous estimates from obituaries and pre-1994 sex surveys suggested that the median age of death for homosexuals is less than 50 yr. … cut … The four lines of evidence were consistent with previous findings suggesting that homosexual activity may be associated with a lifespan shortened by 20 to 30 years.-
……" that homosexual activity may be associated with a lifespan shortened by 20 to 30 years"……
Not my problem & probably not yours. You can voluntarily shorten your lifespan by smoking tobacco (legal), overeating (legal) & drinking alcohol (legal). You are not a foolish man so why do you discriminate? It's patronising!
……"If you pay money to a party that you can be sure will not declare their income and pay their taxes then you are a loser for supporting this illegal market……"…….
Taihoa! Your logic is faulted at best & dishonest at worst. That money is only paid to such people because the product is illegal. You are justifying its illegality on the grounds that it is illegal!
I could well state that recreational drugs are illegal because they are bad for you. We know that they are bad for you because they are illegal.
God also made mosquitoes, wasps and poison Ivy. Oh, and Atheists.
Don't mess with Kayleigh. "Anonymous" for the New York Times exposed.
KAYLEIGH MCENANY rips MILES TAYLOR & NEW YORK TIMES to shreds!White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany leaves no question in our minds where she and President Trump stand on the Fake News being dished out by "Anonymous" Miles Taylor and the New York Times. Watch as she shreds both for their corrupt journalism and the disgraceful slander of our President.
So here is the latest "advocate" for cancelling 3 strikes.
David White/Stuff
Law expert and recent Parole Board appointee Khylee Quince says New Zealand's justice system is failing Māori.Khylee Quince, an associate professor of law at the Auckland University of Technology, says it's important to note that gang members in New Zealand are overwhelmingly Māori "and Māori, whether they're in gangs or not, generally have a low trust relationship with authority".
That mistrust is intergenerational and stems from the harms of colonisation, Quince says, and is one of the reasons why crime is under-reported among Māori.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/123172060/code-of-silence-how-detectives-investigating-a-gangland-shooting-were-stonewalledMaking excuses for scum like this.
But of course as there is always a but;
"Mr Gemmell has a lengthy criminal history. He has offended every year since he was 17 years of age. He has received 25 sentences of imprisonment and has a history of non-compliance,'' the decisions says."So far on this sentence there has been a number of misconducts and incidents which has seen his security classification at high. Recently, there has been a change in attitude by Mr Gemmell. He has realised that he needs to buck up his ideas and behave so that he can undertake rehabilitation and get out back into the community and be a father to his two children."
"That mistrust is intergenerational and stems from the harms of colonisation, Quince says…"
If that were true, then over time as the effects of colonisation decrease, then the mistrust would decline.
How do you account for the low pre-war levels of Maori incarceration when the memories of colonisation would have been fresher?On the other hand, if the narrative of "colonisation" is fed as an excuse to entitlement-hungry people, then it will become even more regurgitated as an excuse, which is what I believe we are seeing.
And what of the talk of "institutional racism" when leftists dominate the institutions?
I agree the justice system is failing Maori, those upstanding decent folk that live in fear of their drug addled gangster cousins that should be in Jail. They are the real victims here.
LOL Former Vice President Joe Biden stated that "there's nothing to any" of the "smear" stories about his son, Hunter's laptop and "my son's an honorable man."
As the first comment stated "Honorable men do not sleep with their underage nieces!" followed by "And screw their dead brothers wife" followed by "Or get tossed out of the Navy for drug use." and further down "Old Joe: "My son's an honorable man."
Meanwhile: Pedo-son smokes crack while diddling his own niece."….Keep it up Joe Biden, you going to really attract a lot of conservative , God fearing folk with that line of attack….
A lying, skeletal sack of shit, Just like Jacin-duh.
The story on Biden seems to be developing more legs than a centipede, and may even rival the millipede.
Can Joe Biden place his hand on a bible and swear to the truth?
Kamala Harris on the back of Biden Clinton & Obama…. ?
Is it possible the speaker of the house may become President?
An interesting intrigue of so many issues and the possible systems of democracy in the USA.….Suddenly, the anticipated Trump campaign's October surprise: …
….. pundits predict these allegations come too late to sway the outcome of election day. ….
….. This view is dubious and misses what could indeed be a three-move check-mate against Joe Biden, but…after the votes are counted. ……
….. The Trump campaign knows this and appears to be playing the long game. …..
…. It also exposed the utter anti-democratic corruption and coup that was the 2016 DNC presidential election committee. …..
…. Hunter Biden's laptop and an alleged FBI cover-up of its illicit contents. …..
…. former close business associate of Hunter Biden, Bevan Cooney, who is currently serving a prison sentence for fraud, gave-up his own laptop reportedly containing 26,000 emails ….
….. Tony Bobulinski next stepped forward with his digital paper trail of alleged Biden family conspiracy. ….
….. Associate Professor at Peking University who reportedly is a contributor to the anti-Trump Bloomberg News. The report is 65 pages, ….. …… as to its validity ……
……. The virtual black-out of all four stories and the excuses offered by the news directors of many censors have not blinded the public. ….
….. three possible investigative bodies available to Trump. ……
….. Assuming AG Bill Barr is willing to do his job, history may be made post-election …..
….. The first step of the Electoral College does not take place until Monday, Dec 14. …..
….. Two of the three constitutionally available methods of investigation are tactically available to the RNC: A Senate Commission; or the Appointment of a Special Counsel, at the request of the Judiciary Committee, by the Dept. of Justice. …..
….. if Barr fails to appoint a Special Counsel he must, by law, inform the Judiciary Committee of his exact reasons. ….
….. By definition, Biden is in it deep. ….
….. If legitimate, to waste political treasure of this magnitude too early in a single pre-election attack is not likely for men as crafty as Bannon and Giuliani. ….. …… play the long game of the post-election day ….
…. With the scripted investigations thus already nicely raging in the minds of the Electoral College, and the court of public opinion, the EC has the ability to be Trump's checkmate.
The Reality of the Electoral College.
The constitutional provisions of the Electoral College have been reported far too simply. ……
….. The public meeting of the electors must take place on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December, which will be December 14, 2020. …..
….. But, on Dec 14 – just forty-one days in– each state's EC must vote in public. What will be the mood of these Electors six weeks, and possibly two ongoing investigations, after election day? ……
….. However, by law, any state body of Electors might instead be influenced to collectively, "object." ….
…. This meeting is also, by law, public. ….
…. an entire state might ultimately- after days of watching the results of Biden's true character surface daily- exert its 10th Amendment rights and chose to object to Biden's certification. …..
…… Although a president-elect with a criminal conviction can indeed still be elected president, any state can at least temporarily stop the proceeding for an examination of new charges by the full House. ……
….. As for the voter, this is certainly not a farfetched possibility. On, Oct 26, the Google search for "Can I change my vote" was reportedly surging nationally. And, by Jan 6…? ……
…. Trump's senate.
The sound of pitchforks is an interesting sound for it tends to carry on the winds. …..
….. The answer on both days could be: shoulder to shoulder packing each and every State House rotunda. ……
….. The author offers this plausible evaluation to the reader in the spirit of bi-partisan presidential contempt. ….
….. appreciate this possible brilliant strategic checkmate by Giuliani and Bannon. …..
…. The American voter, no matter which horned and tailed, crimson-red phoenix does rise from these flames, constitutionally, politically, or militarily, will in less than a week, and sixty-four days after have to watch, wait and see. …..
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/trumps-64-day-post-election-endgame-or-can-criminal-be-inaugurated-presidentI also see that it was not figured that Trump retains power until he relinquishes on the fateful inauguration day.
Apologies for falling down a rabbit hole, and being so long in summary.
Editing while this has gone into moderation.
So funny as many things I have looked at, then can not get back to,, and also for different reasons, like copyright. or the old error etc…
So some of those names may be known as corrupt? chinese connections?
Any way thanks to Ed in advance for having to check that their is no porn horror or whatever.
I thought of looking at the comments on that link, but my mind is taking it in.
Still the Trump rallys would seem to make it appear that many US citizens do not want any more nonsense, but just to get back to work and living.

Side letters also help parties to finalize contingent terms that are yet to be decided or when parties wish to complete the transaction without finalizing the terms of the agreement. The question of whether or not an Agreement is a Side Letter and whether such agreement meets the requirement of a valid, binding and enforceable contract or not, must be analyzed on facts from case to case and that the same must comply with the provisions of the Indian Contract Act 1872.
A side letter is a document that is ancillary to another contract: either clarifying, supplementing or varying the original contract. The key question wherever the content or effect of a side letter is disputed is whether or not the side letter is binding, as illustrated by the recent case of Barbudev v Eurocom Cable Management Bulgaria EOOD and others ([2011] EWHC 1560).
Conditions for Side Letters
The following broad conditions must be satisfied:
a. That there is a clear intention to create legal relations.
b. That it is not an agreement to agree into an agreement.
c. That the terms are clear and unambiguous.
d. That the subject matter is certain.
e. That there must be flow of consideration.
Types of Side Letters
A Side Letter is a document that is ancillary to a contract, which may either clarify or supplement or vary the contract. A Side Letter much like a MoU or any other agreement, is capable of being treated as a contract by itself, which is capable of giving rise to rights and liabilities qua the parties to such Side Letter, which are binding and enforceable. The Side Letter and the Agreement must be read together for complete and proper construction of the contractual relationship between the parties to the contract in respect of their specific agreement.
Who can Have Side Letters
Any First Party may enter into the Agreement with the Other Party and thereafter issue the Side Letter upon Other Party for setting up, running and operating specific items permissible in law. Both the Agreement and the Side Letter will give rise to legally enforceable rights and obligations.
That it is irrelevant, as to whether or not, the Agreement or the Side Letter are registered. As long as possession is not parted with there is no requirement for registration. Hence the enforceability of the Agreement and the Side Letter is not subject to registration under the Registration Act, 1908 nor are the provisions of Transfer of Property Act, 1882 attracted. No further document needs to be executed and/or registered between the parties as long as a simple license is granted without any transfer of ownership or absolute possession.
Enforcement of Side Letters
Both the Agreement and the Side Letter will be admissible as valid evidence before Court of Law.
The Agreement and the Side Letter can be specifically enforced under the Specific Relief Act, 1963.
However, the parties must make sure:
a. That terms and conditions are clear, unambiguous and certain.
b. That the First Party has exclusive possession, control and access of the contractual space.
c. That First Party is not creating any interest in the Contractual Space in favor of the Other Party.
d. That the Agreement and the Side Letter are legally binding and enforceable.
e. That the First Party is merely granting permission to Other Party to enter into the Contractual Space and run the same without creating any ownership rights.
f. That valid consideration forms the basis of the Agreement between the two parties.
g. That the validity of Agreement and the Side Letter are dependent upon each other. All the terms contained in the Agreement forms part and parcel of the Side Letter and vice-versa.
h. That the Agreement will survive the Side Letter because under the Agreement many Side Letters may be issued. However, when the Agreement is terminated then all Side Letters issued thereunder will automatically terminate.
i. That the Side Letter must be specific.
If all the above conditions are met then the Side Letter stands validated. If you are seeking side letters or want to learn more, contact a corporate lawyer. Further, although the usual intention is that side letters will give rise to legally enforceable rights and obligations, this is by no means guaranteed and, in some cases, they have nothing more than moral effect.

Happiness is used in the context of mental or emotional states, including positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy. It is also used in the context of life satisfaction, subjective well-being, eudaimonia, flourishing and well-being.
Since the 1960s, happiness research has been conducted in a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including gerontology, social psychology, clinical and medical research and happiness economics.
'Happiness' is the subject of debate on usage and meaning, and on possible differences in understanding by culture.
The word is used in several related areas:
- current experience, including (a) the feeling of an emotion (affect) such as pleasure or joy, or (b) a more general sense of 'emotional condition as a whole'. For instance Daniel Kahneman has defined happiness as "what I experience here and now". This usage is prevalent in dictionary definitions of happiness.
- appraisal of life satisfaction, such as of quality of life. For instance Ruut Veenhoven has defined happiness as "overall appreciation of one's life as-a-whole."
- subjective well-being, which includes measures of affect and of life satisfaction. For instance Sonja Lyubomirsky has described happiness as "the experience of joy, contentment, or positive well-being, combined with a sense that one's life is good, meaningful, and worthwhile."
- eudaimonia, which is sometimes translated as flourishing.
These uses can give different results. For instance the correlation of income levels has been shown to be substantial with life satisfaction measures, but to be far weaker, at least above a certain threshold, with affect measures.

Bill to support successful reentry passes House committee
A bill aiming to support successful reentry into society and the workforce for Kentuckians leaving prison advanced out of the House Judiciary Committee this afternoon. House Bill 497, sponsored by Representative Kim Moser, would establish a certificate of employability program for eligible inmates in Kentucky prisons to encourage second-chance employment opportunities. The bill would also require the Department of Corrections to equip inmates leaving incarceration with the necessary documents and paperwork to ease the process of reentry and would encourage DOC to provide support for inmates in preparing and writing job resumes.
GLI joined a coalition of supporters calling for passage of House Bill 497 because of its potential for removing barriers to successful reentry and supporting workforce development. See the full coalition letter below.
We, the undersigned organizations, support HB 497 to promote a successful and healthy reentry for Kentuckians returning to communities after incarceration. Ninety-five percent of the people incarcerated in the United States eventually return to their communities. Kentuckians will benefit from having the Department of Corrections issue certificates of employability and the documentation needed for valid state-issued photo identification upon their release from incarceration.
Kentucky's high recidivism rate is caused by the lack of opportunities for returning citizens and lack of reentry supports.
An estimated 60% to 75% of people who were formerly incarcerated cannot find stable employment up to a year after release. Involvement in the criminal legal system can negatively impact employment opportunities; for example, having a record reduces the likelihood of a job callback by 60% for Black applicants and 30% for white applicants.
Understanding the major barriers to successful reentry – housing, employment, and education – points to solutions. Providing a certificate of employability will increase returning citizens' opportunities for economic security and access to productive pathways. Having a photo ID is necessary for employment, substance use treatment, housing and more.
Recognizing the public does not have the opportunity to witness the rehabilitative steps of incarcerated individuals, HB 497 will allow potential employers, landlords and admissions boards to consider the productive steps taken by returning citizens.
We call on our legislators to pass HB 497, providing returning citizens, their families, and our communities a smoother pathway forward from incarceration.

In the absence of subsidy support, adopting advanced planned O&M practices as seen in the wind and solar sectors will ensure long-term cost efficiencies and optimise the performance of the schemes. That is, at least according to leading renewable energy consultancy, Dulas.
As renewable energy subsidies fall away for new projects, Dulas is encouraging water utilities and land owners with hydro project portfolios to re-consider their approach to O&M as margins tighten across the industry. Too often, according to Dulas, owners of multiple assets look to repair their hydro schemes on a reactive basis, only making significant repairs or upgrades once the functioning of the asset is compromised.
However, based on its experience of working with water utilities across the UK, Dulas believes that there is a clear opportunity for firms to take a more proactive scheduled programme of planned maintenance that follows the example set by other renewable energy technologies such as wind and solar.
The nature of the wind and solar sectors is that operators usually hold a portfolio of multiple assets, and, as with hydro today, historically reactive maintenance was carried out as-and-when components failed. However, the potential for revenue loss and high repair costs has driven advances in preventative and predictive maintenance, with asset owners now choosing to adopt these O&M strategies across their portfolio.
The most commonplace of these O&M strategies is preventative maintenance, which involves carrying out regular servicing and repairs across the asset portfolio in order to minimise the possibility of unforeseen component failures. Compared to reactive maintenance, preventive maintenance helps increase the lifespan of an asset and can cut costs associated with downtime, overtime and emergency spares procurement. Increasing the level of scheduled maintenance can also help to streamline O&M workflows, for example by allowing crews to carry out multiple repairs or replacements during a single site visit.
Regular maintenance schedules also allow engineers to become familiarised with each scheme, which often creates opportunities for them to advise on potential optimisation strategies that will help the asset owner to achieve the best possible returns from the whole portfolio.
As seen with wind and solar, utilities and owners of multiple assets who invest in enhancing maintenance programmes for their portfolio of hydro assets – whether they are new installations or 70-year old legacy schemes - will be able to secure better availability, optimise their portfolio, and therefore see a better return on their investments.
"While subsidy support for hydro projects facilitated a boom in construction amongst some water utilities, now that subsidies have fallen away, there is much more commercial pressure to manage their schemes effectively and efficiently" said Crispin Angood, Senior Engineer, Dulas. "However, too often owners of multiple hydro assets leave maintenance under a 'fix it when it's broken' response, which means that it's significantly more expensive to repair and often involves complete downtime on the asset itself. Planned maintenance is the mainstay of on- and offshore wind and utility scale solar, both sectors that expanded quickly through tariff support, but have rationalised their costs as subsidies have fallen away."
Dulas has been developing and managing hydro schemes for the past twenty years, working on over 35MW across all operational hydro schemes, of which 25 MW has been Operations & Maintenance work.
"Having pioneered O&M approaches with historic assets for utility and private owners, which previously had no maintenance regime, we feel that there is a clear opportunity to take some of the lessons from the wider Dulas business in renewables into the hydro sector" Angood added.

If tourism was sustainable, it would consider its current and future impacts on the economy, society and the environment as a whole and manages the needs of visitors, industry, environment and host communities (UNEP & UNWTO, 2005). However, numerous studies revealed that tourism in its conventional (present) forms do not much contribute to sustainable development – primarily due to the prevalent focus on growth in the tourism industry, but also because social and economic benefits are not equally distributed (Gurumurthy & Bharthur, 2020).
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is considered of having enormous potential to make tourism more sustainable (IFITT, 2019; Schmücker et al., 2019). But despite many positive examples, approaches and concepts, the great upheaval has not yet occurred. Hence, a good dose of skepticism is advisable when the potentials of ICT are being praised. This article aims to provide a short input about the effects of ITC on the tourism industry. It is based on the findings of two recently published studies, namely 'Digitalization and energy consumption' by Lange et al. (2020) and 'Techno-disruptions and travel' by Gurumurthy & Bharthur (2020). According to the author's opinion, the way ITCs are currently deployed by the majority of actors in the tourism industry entail greater risks than opportunities for a sustainable development in tourism. Based on the examples concerning 'energy consumption' and 'digital booking platforms' some of the negative effects on the ecological and socio-economic dimension of sustainability are presented.
ICT in tourism: the sunny part
ICTs have developed an information economy in which everything is digital (Shanker, 2008). Digitalisation nowadays seems to be an (unquestioned) imperative, necessary and entirely desirable direction in which society and its subsystems must orient themselves (Sühlmann & Rammler, 2018). ICT has become a "holistic integrated system of networked equipment and software, which enables effective data processing and communication" (Buhalis & Law, 2008). This development has challenged and changed the global tourism industry, with far-reaching impacts for the entire value chain. As information is a key element in tourism that permeates more or less all aspects of the highly fragmented industry, digital tools and online activities were adopted at a higher pace than in most other industries (Gurumurthy & Bharthur, 2020). Indisputably, modern ICT provides numerous opportunities for marketing, operation, and management of customers, supporting a sustainable transformation of the tourism industry in all dimensions – e.g., the management and provision of information necessary to map and monitor economic impacts, the detection of ecological sensitive areas, and the empowerment of local communities through community-based business models (Ali & Frew, 2013). Other examples of opportunities provided by ICTs are: containment of production and transactional costs, reduction of inefficiencies and uncertainties, novel ways of approaching marketing, energy monitoring, waste management and communication for destinations (Shanker, 2008). Also, there are remarkable dynamics in ICT, leading to a visible progress in resource-saving, a big rise in energy efficiency, and a growing digital network of people interested in the core issues of sustainability (Welfens et al., 2015).
ICT in tourism: the rainy part I
In their study on the relationship between digitalisation and energy consumption, Lange et al. (2020) revealed direct effects on the environment deriving from the production, usage and disposal of ITC as well as rising energy consumption as an effect of economic growth deriving from increases in labour and energy productivity. These impacts tend to prevail, despite energy efficiency also improved, thanks to ICTs. These findings are supported and explained by four insights elaborated in the field of ecological economics: A) Physical capital and energy are complements in the ICT sector; B) Increases in energy efficiency will cause rebound effects; C) ICT do not decouple economic growth from energy; D) ICT services are energy intensive and come on top of former production.
The authors conclude that the projected potentials of reducing energy consumption have not yet been justified and instead have resulted in additional energy consumption.
ICT in tourism: the rainy part II
In their study 'Techno-disruptions and travel', Gurumurthy & Bharthur (2020) analysed the effects of the rapidly 'platformising' tourism market, using the case of India as well as research from other Asian and African countries. The findings show that current trends in tourism do not contribute to the achievement of sustainability as defined in the Agenda 20303. In theory, the integration of local tourism actors in digital booking platforms could democratise and balance (global) economic power structures. However, in reality, platforms themselves act as kind of gatekeepers that determine the rules through non transparent algorithms and enforce price models making it impossible for small businesses to compete with. In India, big online players such as TripAdvisor, Airbnb, OYO rooms or MakeMyTrip have generated new forms of data-based optimisation and personalisation, but these changes have resulted in highly uneven outcomes for various actors. Many local tourism enterprises are being marginalised, and those who are not able to use the platforms to their advantage are excluded from global value chains. Furthermore, platforms have caused deep and disruptive shifts in the local economies as consolidation and oligopolistic alliances, destroying local collaboration and networks of trust. Furthermore, the connection between platform-led overtourism and its various negative impacts become more and more apparent. As a final consequence, the livelihood of many locals and their communities is threatened, while few (foreigners) benefit and collect the profits.
A priori, the role of ICT in the tourism industry is neither positive nor negative. It will depend on how aspects of sustainability are consciously considered. Currently, most tourism actors fail to do so, because the direct and indirect impacts of ICT are not sufficiently assessed. Although it is a biophysical truism that infinite growth is not possible in a finite biosphere, it is widely believed that the path of supposedly continuous growth can be possible, with the help of ICT and other digital technologies. Though, the opposite has happened so far, as sustainability requires the simultaneity of efficiency and (digital) sufficiency, which first requires a change in lifestyle. It is not enough to control or manage the negative impacts. Therefore, ICTs should rather be used to decouple economic growth and environmental consumption and eliminating barriers to sustainable practices.
A study on the impact of digitalisation by the UBA4 has identified (in quantitative terms) more opportunities than risks from digitisation and that the most high-impact opportunities are to change the behaviour of consumers (Schmücker et al., 2019). Hence, ITC can be used to foster a change in value systems towards more collaboration, participation, democracy and empathy. But, in order to find effective approaches, strategies and policies towards a more sustainable tourism, it is essential to have a profound and holistic understanding about the complexity of the systems (here: tourism and ITC) as well as other systems involved. Events, such as the EIFMeT, can strongly contribute to an interprofessional knowledge transfer, which is the basis for all further steps. However, more emphasis is needed on learning from "bad practice" and the influencing factors of (technological) developments from sectors and systems that are indirectly linked to tourism – and, above all, the impacts on the quality of life of the most important stakeholder group in tourism: the local people at the destinations.

To archive a resource, click on its profile in the Resources section, then click Archive.
To view or reactivate archived resources:
Click the Archived tab in the Resources section.
Next, click on the profile of the resource you wish to reactivate, then click Unarchive.
When you archive a resource they will no longer appear in the Schedule and archived people will no longer have access to your account. Historical data relating to an archived resource will still appear in your reports.
Please note: If you archive a person that has outstanding bookings, any future bookings where the person is the booker will be transferred to you. Any future bookings where the person has been booked will be permanently deleted.
Guru tip
If a resource is archived it will be removed from future multi-resource bookings it may have been part of. For any historical multi-resource bookings, the resource will be split out onto individual copies of the events instead to ensure that historical reports remain accurate. The rest of the multi-resource booking will remain in place for any other resources who had been scheduled.

An anonymous woman who accused American rapper, Calvin Broadus alias Snoop Dogg of sexual assault has dropped her charges against him.
Identified as Jane Doe, the woman who also accused an associate of Dogg (Donald Campbell), claimed the incident happened after she attended the rapper's concert in May 2013.
According to the filings made in February, Doe stated she had requested to be driven home after being offered a ride by Campbell. Instead, she had slept off in the car and woke up in his home where he later forced her to have oral sex with him.
She alleged that he afterwards urged her to accompany him to meet the rapper who was filming his TV series, The Snoop Dogg's Double G News Network, at the time.
After taping, Doe who was identified as a dancer claimed that Dogg had barged into her in the bathroom and coerced her to perform oral sex on him.
Tagging it a "shakedown", a spokesperson for Dogg refuted the claims, stating that the rapper had never been in any sexual encounter with the said woman.
Following the news, Dogg also took to his Instagram page, where he posted an image that read, "gold digger season is here" alongside emojis of a judge, a police officer, and a bag of cash.
The filing of the suit made headlines just days before the rapper performed at the Super Bowl halftime show.
The suit has thus been withdrawn "without prejudice" by Doe's lawyer on Wednesday according to reports by the NBC News.
The complainant, however, did not give any reasons for dropping the suit in the filing.
Reacting to the withdrawal, a spokesperson for Snoop Dogg stated that it was not surprising the suit was dropped as "her complaint was full of false allegations and deficiencies".
