Glenn Kirschner – House Committee Issues Subpoenas for Roger Stone & Others; Moving Up the Insurrection Food Chain (Working up the foos chain always made sense to me. Start at the top, you may wind up giving a plea bargain to the actual criminal, and executing [almost] an innicent person. That’s what happened to Julius Jones.)
Meidas Touch – Elie Mystal: What if Black people stormed the Capitol on Jan 6?
Don Winslow Films – #ShockingUnansweredJan6Questions Well, I can answer one question – the reason it took so long between forming the committee and the first subpoenas was because they had a ton of documents – and voluntary testimony – they needed to get through first. That is not just a theory, at least one person on the committee has said so publicly. And it makes sense. A good lowyer never asks a question of a witness to which he or she doesn’t already know tha answer. (I can answer a few of the others too, but I couldn’t back up those answers as I can with this one.)
Rebel HQ – Richard Ojeda: Special Place In Hell For People Like This Major Ojeda’s accent it fairly thick, but unlike so many on this subject, he knows whereof he speaks, and it’s worth the listen to get the facts.

Comment from Mitch –
GK: HCR is great, btw. Do you remember “Up the revolution?” this is “Up the food chain,” obviouslyMT: Absolutely a susicide mission. The DOJ is beginning to bare its teeth, may it grow fangs!
DW: I had no idea that Flynnhd a brother in a sensitive place! Damn! Trump family? Working up the food chain?
RHQ: Could not watch the whole thing. Who is the Fox jackass with the British accent?
PP: Marvelous!
Beau: The guy’s father is an insistent jackass. If the fellow has children by his wife, the father is dumping all sorts of
garbage on the heads of his own grandchildren. Ah, but, then, there is the book “My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me,”
by Jennifer Teague. She is the grandaughter of the camp commandant you might remember from Auschwitz, Amon Goeth,
of “Schindler’s List,” and she is not “PURE” white, poor thing…not.

MT: Elie Mistal completely echoes the answers that came to mind when reading the header of the video. And I’m a white foreigner. Black protesters wouldn’t have gotten anywhere near the building, let alone be allowed to enter. The fact that they wouldn’t have had any inside help is completely immaterial; black rioters would have all been shot before they got as far as the steps.
DW: These questions aren’t shocking. What is shocking is that they have neither been asked nor answered yet before the Jan 6 Committee.
RHQ: The Faux news bits in between threw me a bit, as they did Mitch, I suspect. But that was because there was some truth in the reporting of bare facts there, but it went off the rails completely when blaming Biden for Afghanistan’s mess. Richard Ojeda then puts the blame where it belongs with previous presidents but mostly with those conglomerates that were there for one thing only: make as much money out of war. Any war…
LP: I can only watch this knowing my barf bag is close at hand.
PP: As always,s a perfect combination of a golden oldie, an excellent rendering and spot-on text taking the right down.
Beau: Beau’s short history on woke Sesame Street gave me a quick trip down memory lane. When I went to school in the two years I’ve lived in Australia before (1970-72), most kids in my class ran home every day to watch (American) Sesame Street on TV. For 14-16-year-olds, it was the – then hip, now woke – thing to do. We often got together and hang out together to see it. When I went back to the Netherlands, the whole class watched a five-minute, very woke children’s puppet program every weekday at 18:55, just before the news. Now 16-18-year-old, we were addicted to it, because it was so progressive and discussed all sorts of social issues in five minutes in a way that both young children could understand, but young adults got the deeper meaning of.
Perhaps that is why Sesame Street terrifies the right at the moment. Not so much because they influence young children, but because it can have a huge impact on the older children who are in a phase of learning to think for themselves and naturally are more progressive inclined than their parents.
The House Committee is a bit like a committee of hens holding their meetings int eh fox’s den. They have in facy taken testimony from more than 200 people, some in person, some by deposition – including d large number of TFG’s ex-officials, all voluntary, though many requested subpoens “for cover.” That 200 figure has onlt recently com out, and iit came quietly, so most people aren’t aware of it. So I can’t say for sure that these questions have not been asked by the House Committee. I suspecy they have (although a few may have been missed, in part due t the positions of the people being asked.) I don’t believe they have all been abswered, but some I’m confident have, and that the answers are just not public. But there are good reasons for secrecy.
I knew Sesame Street was international, but I didn’t realize is was so international so soon in its life. Your remrks are very perceptive. I’ would not be surprised it there were influential leaders in MAGAtism who do understand that reasoning – but I’m also certain that the vast majority of them don’t (y’know, useful idiots.)
