The following debate originally took place on my Facebook wall, upon my post, “Super-Human FBI Manages to Review 650,000 Weiner Laptop Emails in a Mere 691,200 Seconds!“…

FBI Director James Comey and 2016 Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton

Rayn: FBI Clears Clinton — Again:
http://www.cnn.com/2016/11/06/politics/comey-tells-congress-fbi-has-not-changed-conclusions/index.html

As a Twitter post I read earlier today noted: “the FBI had 8 days to review 650,000 emails on Weiner’s laptop. There are 691,200 seconds in 8 days.”

Wow! That’s some astonishing detective work! Great job! 😉

Teddy C.: They had computer programs in place to review the emails, flag the duplicates from the previous investigation, flag the personal conversations, and drill down to the actual new content that needed review. No matter what the context is, this amount of data wouldn’t be processed without some sort of automation in place.

Micah W.: Exactly. Not all 650,000 of those were to or from Hillary. In fact, what I read was that fewer than 1,000 were. The 650,000 line was picked up by a media eager to make this a horse race of an election. More money in it for them that way.

Rayn: On November 3rd, CNN reported that the FBI found “emails related to Hillary Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state on [Weiner’s] laptop,” and noted that the emails “are n̲o̲t̲ ̲d̲u̲p̲l̲i̲c̲a̲t̲e̲s̲ of emails found on Secretary Clinton’s private server.”

_________________________________

Meanwhile, both the first and second FBI investigation of Clinton actually relate to emails sent through Clinton’s private server, and use of unsecured emails to send and receive secured information. This, of course, includes emails sent by members of her staff, such as Weiner’s estranged wife, Huma Abedin. You can see examples of this for yourself within this New York Times article, relating to the last batch of 30,000 Clinton emails released by the FBI. Note the name of the sender within the two featured emails pictured in the article. It is none other than Huma Abedin:

Last Batch of Hillary Clinton’s Emails Is Released:
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/01/us/politics/last-batch-of-hillary-clintons-emails-is-released.html

_________________________________

With this in mind, recognize the fact that the New York Time reported that “a senior law enforcement official said that tens of thousands of emails belonging to Ms. Abedin were on Mr. Weiner’s laptop.”

Emails in Anthony Weiner Inquiry Jolt Hillary Clinton’s Campaign:

Now, factor in the reality that during the last Clinton investigation, the FBI took almost an entire year to investigate approximately 30,000+ emails handed over by Clinton:

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/05/27/us/politics/what-we-know-about-hillary-clintons-private-email-server.html

_________________________________

Finally, understand that relying solely on computer algorithms to process the 650,000 emails in Weiner’s laptop, instead of using actual investigators, does not qualify as a legitimate investigation practice, considering the fact that pseudonym emails addresses were discovered as being used during the last investigation…

Obama Used a Pseudonym When Emailing Hillary Clinton While She Was at the US State Department:

(By the way, as just a point of interest, the FBI has not actually made any statement about what method they used to sort through the 650,000 emails on Weiner’s laptop. As the article below states, “The FBI declined WIRED’s request for more information about how it performed its week-long search.”

The following debate originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, Daniel Sv…

Russian President, Vladimir Putin, and American actor, Steven Seagal

Daniel Sv.: US Actor Steven Seagal Given Russian Citizenship by Putin:

Daniel F.: Maybe now he can move to Russia and raise the average IQ of both countries.

Rayn: Your prejudice and elitism are showing, Daniel F… Talk about “vile filth”…

Daniel Sv.: That word is up there with “basket of deplorables”. If one could only keep a track of it.

Daniel F.: They’ve earned that designation.

Some even seem to be proud of it. Not that it’s anything to be proud of

Debating Obama’s Role in Continuing Wars of Aggression and Crimes Against Humanity, at the Behest of His Bankster Overlords

The following debate originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by peace activist, Cindy Sheehan…

Rayn:

"That face you get when someone says they are 'anti-war' but supports Obama"

“That face you get when
someone says they are
‘anti-war’ but
supports Obama”

Katherine C.: I don’t think it’s Obama…it’s just this country. How did we get out of the Depression?? WWII… It’s the way we do politics and it’s impossible for any president who gets into office to simply say, “ok, we’re shutting down all our army bases all over the world and bringing all our troops back from all over the world just like that”. Not saying I agree with our policies, but it’s also not that easy to undo over 60 years of war behavior.

Rayn: Well, think again, because Obama’s been the ruler of America for almost a decade, now, and has not only escalated all of Bush’s wars, he has continued to expand the U.S. military empire, too!

“It’s official, Obama takes a commanding lead in the countries bombed 7-4! [For]ward Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, and Syria”

Rayn: Under Obama, US military bases around the world CONTINUE to increase, without an end in sight…

Rayn: Interesting you mention the Great Depression, because history has revealed that it was actually engineered by collusion between Banksters, Wall Street, and of course, the strong arm of the government…

Rayn: Here’s some of the inconvenient truths set out in the famous book, “Grapes of Wrath”…

“Grapes of Wrath,” Chapter 25, by John Steinback (1939):
http://genius.com/John-steinbeck-grapes-of-wrath-chapter-25-annotated

“The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit—and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains.

And the smell of rot fills the country.

Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.

There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate—died of malnutrition—because the food must rot, must be forced to rot.

The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.”

As stated by Wikipedia, “Steinbeck was known to have borrowed from field notes taken during 1938 by Farm Security Administration worker and author Sanora Babb. While Babb collected personal stories about the lives of the displaced migrants for a novel she was developing, her supervisor, Tom Collins, shared her reports with Steinbeck, then working at the San Francisco News.” (Click Here to Continue Reading This Post) →

Debunking Leftist Lies and Shutting Down Shameless Promotion of Hillary

The following debate originally took place upon the Facebook wall of my friend, Daniel Sv…

"Rasmussen Reports"

“Rasmussen Reports”

Daniel Sv.: Most Americans Want Hillary Indicted for Email Scandal – Poll:
https://www.rt.com/usa/363759-hillary-emails-indicted-poll/

If we have to go to foreign media to get the real truth, then how are we any different from the Soviet Union?

Daniel F.: So you cite a Russian propaganda outlet to try to make some “point”? Hillary may have been careless and irresponsible with an email server, but at least she’s not a puppet of a foreign dictator.

Daniel Sv.: You’re right, she’s more of a puppet to globalist masters with no loyalty to any country.

Rayn: Much to the chagrin of detractors, who rely solely upon the fallacious “argumentum Ad hominem” as an imagined form of “logic,” without even bothering to read even a mere two sentences into the news piece you’ve posted, Daniel, the article actually cites polling data from Rasmussen Reports.

For those unaware, Rasmussen Reports is an American company founded in 2003, and headquartered in Asbury Park, New Jersey. As stated on their official website, they are “a nonpartisan electronic media company specializing in the collection, publication and distribution of public opinion polling information.” Here is the likely source of the information discussed in the RT article…

Ms. Lauryn Hill and Lysander Spooner: A Match Made by the IRS

The following debate originally took place here, upon the Facebook wall of Ms. Lauryn Hill, after I posted a captioned photo being shared by the page, “Strictly Voluntary,” along with a comment of my own…

Rayn: Check it out, Ms. Lauryn Hill! Voluntaryists understand your position, all too well! Taxation is Theft!

Artwork originally located here, upon the Facebook page, "Voluntary"

Ms.Hill in part of her statement to the tax judge: “I had an economic system imposed on me.”

Ms.Hill was caught in the trap that Lysander Spooner wrote of over a century ago:
“And yet we have what purports, or professes, or is claimed, to be a contract—the Constitution—made eighty years ago, by men who are now all dead, and who never had any power to bind us, but which (it is claimed) has nevertheless bound three generations of men, consisting of many millions, and which (it is claimed) will be binding upon all the millions that are to come; but which nobody ever signed, sealed, delivered, witnessed, or acknowledged; and which few persons, compared with the whole number that are claimed to be bound by it, have ever read, or even seen, or ever will read, or see.” ― Lysander Spooner, No Treason: The Constitution Of No Authority

No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority | by Lysander Spooner:

Murray N. Rothbard considered this essay by Lysander Spooner (1867) “The greatest case for anarchist political philosophy ever written.”

Jahgreen R.: is it like she wants to be free to express her childhood’s homeworks mistakes now that she is an adult??? I today realize what that word means which she spoke in a poem in London way back in 2005: “What an abracaration!!!” -aryist[s], what about -ist[s]!!! I am a voluntarist if I’m not gonna be a volunteer, but not for grammar mistakes, what’s fucked up with you??!!! Who were you sent by? You amp up not being with you!! Now you’re gonna complain why y’all’re not loving me? but, come on, you………………..repulse

Rayn: My apologies, but I’ve read your comment multiple times, and simply I can’t make out what you’re trying to say within it… Can you please clarify?

Jahgreen R.: A flabbiness spray for Lauren to put in a bubble. She needs to understand, anyone who earns more than average must pay taxes, that’s also accepting the luck could have been someone else’s to put in light out of the many poors who have talent in any other field but will never be able to access. Why wouldn’t the poor be able to receive from the wealthiest in partnerships funds, professional welfare like she ain’t ready to do so? Trust it or not, only the wind has got the answer to this question ; she’ll just have to follow the majority.

Rayn: Nope… Individuals cannot simply relegate rights which they don’t have, themselves, to others, no matter how much they imagine that such activity would somehow eliminate the lack of morality inherent to the unjust acts they seek to commit, by proxy – nor will it relinquish them of personal responsibility for the acts now being committed in their name. Since you and I have no right to take money from others without their consent, neither does the State! It wouldn’t matter if we tossed out the claim that it was for the “greater good,” or if we used some of the stolen money to buy our victim a service he also didn’t consent to, as we pocketed some for ourselves as payment for arranging said service. It would be a criminal act, regardless. It’s probably disappointing to hear this, if you’re a member of the Statist cult, but… yeah… true morality is universal, like that.

Taxation is Theft, and Taxation is Extortion. To those who advocate such theft under the guise of “helping the poor” with stolen funds, I say, “Check Your Statist Privilege,” my friend! (Click Here to Continue Reading This Post) →
