First Thoughts on Pulp Cthulhu
*Pulp Chtulhu* was originally announced for "summer 2002" and was to have supported both d20 and BRP *Call of Cthulhu*, this supplement for *Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition* is at last available, at least in electronic form. With a Mythos game appearing as a likelihood this autumn, I've been flipping through its electronic pages. I'm not yet ready to give it a full review, but I've had enough time to get some basic impressions. As a supplement, *Pulp Cthulhu* provides a number of dials to decide just how pulpy one wants his or her game to be. Off the top of my head, the big difference... more »

The Forgotten War: The Situation In Yemen
Again, I am not shocked at all that the Jew spew media is absolutely refusing to talk about the ongoing war in Yemen for the simple reason the Jewish criminal controlled nation of Saudi Arabia is GETTING ITS BUTT KICKED! Few people are even aware of the following information that came my way today and it shows that not only are the Houthi beating the crap out of the inept Saudi forces in Yemen, and have in fact invaded southern Saudi Arabia itself...But according to this article, the Houthi forces have in fact fired at least one or two long range SCUD missiles deep into Saudi Arabia... more »

*"Positive Self-Deception"* by Damninteresting.org "Most people think of the "mentally disordered" as a delusional lot, holding bizarre and irrational ideas about themselves and the world around them. Isn’t a mental disorder, after all, an impairment or a distortion in thought or perception? This is what we tend to think, and for most of modern psychology's history, the experts have agreed; realistic perceptions have been considered essential to good mental health. More recently, however, research has arisen that challenges this common-sense notion. In 1988, psychologists Shelly Ta... more »

Turkey Escalates Its Military Intervention In Northern Syria
*Reuters*: *Turkish tanks roll into Syria, opening new line of attack* Turkey and its rebel allies opened a new line of attack in northern Syria on Saturday, as Turkish tanks rolled across the border and Syrian fighters swept in from the west to take villages held by Islamic State. The incursion was launched by Turkey from Kilis province - an area frequently targeted by Islamic State rockets - and coincided with a separate push by the Turkish-backed Syrian rebels, who seized several villages further to the east. By supporting the rebels, mainly Arabs and Turkmen fighting under the... more »

Some Republicans Worry That Señor Trumpanzee Might Be The Wrong Messenger For Their Vision-- But He's Not

ProgressivePunch rates him an "F," of course, but an F that equates to a 5.19, worse than extremists like Ted Cruz (R-TX), Mike Lee (R-UT), Roy Blunt (R-MO) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) for example.

Improper to ask accused to provide theory of case
A witness is to testify as to facts - not to explain their theory of a case. R. v. Dhaliwal, 2016 ONCA 652: [11] This line of questioning was improper. It put an onus on the appellant to explain the allegations against him: *R. v. S.(W.)* (1994), 18 O.R. (3d) 509, 90 C.C.C. (3d) 242 (C.A.) at 252; *R. v. Vandenberghe* (1995), 96 C.C.C. (3d) 371 (C.A.) at 373. [12] The point was made by the Alberta Court of Appeal in *R. v. Kusk*, 1999 ABCA 49, 132 C.C.C. (3d) 559, at p. 564: This mischievous cross-examination wrongly suggests that the witness is advocating a certa... more »
Another Example of The Media's Mild Coverage of Turkey's Criminal Invasion of Syria
*Related: Since When Did An Invasion Become A Plunge?* The New York Times described Turkey's criminal invasion of Syria as a "plunge." Now, Reuters is saying they are merely "crossing into" Syria with their tanks. Would they describe Russian tanks invading Ukraine in the same way? Definitely not. The crime of aggression is the most serious of offenses. But when a NATO country is guilty of this crime then it doesn't matter according to the criminal Western media. Ever since the U.S. invaded Afghanistan and Iraq based on false pretexts the crime of aggression has been ignored. It... more »

It revealed that at least 2.8 million Yemenis, including more than 400,000 families, have been forced to flee their homes because of the violence. “The prolonged duration of the conflict has strongly heightened the disastrous risk of a systemic collapse of Yemen,” wrote Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein, the U.N. high commissioner. “Th... more »

It was the Europeans who resurrected the game and livened it again by adding character to the pieces. France, England, and other European soc... more »
Hillary Clinton Avoiding The Press Is Finally Becoming A News Story (Maybe)
*Politico:* *Hillary Clinton, rarely seen, rarely heard* The Democrat lets reporters trail her but tucks them away to keep them out of sight and herself out of reach. Hillary Clinton has never felt comfortable with the traveling political press. As first lady, she would sometimes arrange travel for herself and Chelsea separate from her husband, partly to avoid the protective pool of reporters assigned to the president. In 2008, she “fought tooth and nail,” former aides said, to avoid sharing the plane with her press corps and relented only when her campaign was running out of mon... more »
Nestle CEO: Water Is Not A Human Right, Should Be Privatized
The Former CEO of Nestle claims that water is not a human right and that it should be privatized and controlled.

So, is water a free and basic human right, or should all the water on the planet belong to major corpo... more »

Everything is Rigged
You need to know this. But in fairness that is not the real problem at all. After all, our economy is an aggregate of markets and all markets are made in one way or the other and thus open to the claim of rigging. Yet that is supposed to be a benign process and it usually is a benign process. The problem is that it has matured into systemic corruption on an unimaginable scale and operates with blatant disregard to human rights and human safety. That is the sole reason that all the players are so uniformly against Trump. He just happens to be the one person who they can neit... more »

A readers comment inspired me to put together a descriptive covering the apparent cosmology of the spirit world. As we have already understood, the whole spirit world itself exists fully as part of the second tier of matter. Yet even there, the matter provides the skeleton while the photons consisting of two dimensional strips forming Mobius strips contain the information in the form of number. Note that both these are rigorously time independent. However, we are not trying to give you a headache. What this means is that life was initiated by spirit forms who themselves were... more »

*Whom to believe?* *Some interesting excerpts below from a long article that spends a lot of time looking at old philosophical questions. The author does make the point that decisions on some matters of alleged truth are easier to arrive at than others. And I think global warming is an example of that.

All we know is that sometimes it gets hotter and sometimes it gets colder. No other f... more »

How Would You Diagnose Monsieur Trumpanzeé?

But when a society establishes criminals-by-right and looters-by-law- men who use force to seize the wealth of disarmed victims- then money becomes its creators' avenger.

Whenever we find a fixed point to attach and to fasten ourselves, it shifts and leaves us; and if we follow it, it eludes our grasp, slips past us, and vanishes for ever. Nothing stays for us. This is our natural condition, most contrary to our inclination; we burn with desires to find solid ground and an ultima... more »
"The Legend of the Starfish"
*"The Legend of the Starfish"* Author Unknown "A vacationing businessman was walking along a beach when he saw a young boy. Along the shore were many starfish that had been washed up by the tide and were sure to die before the tide returned. The boy was walking slowly along the shore and occasionally reached down and tossed the beached starfish back into the ocean. The businessman, hoping to teach the boy a little lesson in common sense, walked up to the boy and said, “I have been watching what you are doing, son. You have a good heart, and I know you mean well, but do you realize ...more »
"Compassion and Enabling"
"Compassion and Enabling" by admin "Sometimes there is a very blurry line between feeling and expressing compassion, and enabling someone. Showing compassion is giving someone space and understanding so they can work through their predicament whilst remaining at a healthy emotional distance. This healthy emotional distance can be hard to judge in close knit relationships such as marriage and families. For should one fall over the edge of compassion and into the field of pity, neither party will benefit. Pity serves no one in relation to creating the desired changes within relations... more »

*Roy Cohn and Signore Trumpanzee, two of New York's most notorious villains of the 20th Century* Want to sign up to be a Trumpanzee volunteer, even just for phone-banking? The *Cincinnati Enquirer* reports that "to sign up on Trump's website, potential volunteers must agree to a 2,271-word non-disclosure agreement in which they also promise they won't compete against or say anything bad about Trump, his company, his family members [including Barron] or products-- now and forever."

The Poet: Maya Angelou, "When Great Trees Fall"
*"When Great Trees Fall"* "When great trees fall, rocks on distant hills shudder, lions hunker down in tall grasses, and even elephants lumber after safety. When great trees fall in forests, small things recoil into silence, their senses eroded beyond fear. When great souls die, the air around us becomes light, rare, sterile. We breathe, briefly. Our eyes, briefly, see with a hurtful clarity. Our memory, suddenly sharpened, examines, gnaws on kind words unsaid, promised walks never taken. Great souls die and our reality, bound to them, takes leave of us. Our souls, dependent upon their... more »

Exploding Batteries or a Secret Copy of the Necronomicon?
Sure Samsung claims the batteries are overheating and causing their phones to melt... But isn't it just as likely that some cultist burned a copy of the *Necronomicon *into all Galaxy Note 7 phones?

One of our possible games is a 21st century Delta Green game, dealing with a top secret organization dedicated to fighting the Cthulhu Mythos. One interesting exercise when dealing with a modern take on the Mythos is finding a conspiracy explanation for news stories. As I rece... more »

When it comes to Hillary, Paul Waldman notes, a special standard applies as to what "raises questions"
*You can find the piece to which Paul's directing us here.* *"If you as a journalist are going to say that something 'raises questions,' and if you know the answer to those questions, you have to say that, too. So in this case, the question the Band email raises is, 'Did an aide to Bill Clinton get a diplomatic passport from Hillary Clinton's staff when she was Secretary of State, something he was not entitled to?' The answer is — and pay attention to make sure you grasp this answer in all its complexity — No."* *-- Paul Waldman, in a WaPo post today,* "Here’s a tale of two scandal... more »
Tonight's Movie Is 'Go Tell The Spartans'
*From **Wikipedia:* Go Tell the Spartans is a 1978 American war film directed by Ted Post, starring Burt Lancaster, and based on Daniel Ford's 1967 novel Incident at Muc Wa,[1] about U.S. Army military advisors during the early part of the Vietnam War in 1964, a time when Ford was a correspondent in Vietnam for The Nation. The film's title is from Simonides's epitaph to the three hundred soldiers who died fighting Persian invaders at Thermopylae, Greece: "Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here, obedient to their laws, we lie." The choice of film's name thus constitut... more »

Clinton Had Cell Phones Smashed With Hammers To Destroy Evidence
The Federal Bureau of Investigation was unable to access any of the cell phones Hillary Clinton used while she was Secretary of State and now we know why – she had her staff smash them with a hammer. According to newly released FBI documents, the investigation into Clinton’s use of a personal email server was unable to obtain potentially important evidence from the eight cell phones she used while Secretary of State. Justin Cooper, a Department of State aide, recalled at least two occasions when he “destroyed” the secretary of state’s old Blackberry cell phones, according to FBI doc...more »

*Change! Change!! Change!!! By Rufus (Deputy Editor, NF News)* Have a look at the above picture. Is this one of Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign posters? Maybe it belongs to Bill Clinton, who also pledged to bring about Change when standing for election. No, this image belongs not to an American shyster, but to a British one. David Cameron is using the ‘Change’ slogans so beloved of fellow Zionists to hoodwink the British people into believing he is going to overturn the harm wrought by the Blair-Brown labour regime.

Wilthsire Swastika Crop Circle ‘Not Nazi Symbol’
A crop circle in the shape of a huge ‘Nazi’ swastika appeared in a farmer’s field this week in Wilthsire, England. Experts say the crop circle is not a Nazi symbol but an ancient sign of peace given to earthlings by extraterrestrial beings. The BBC reports: When the 180 ft wide formation was spotted in a field in Beckhampton earlier this week, the farmer was reported to have concerns about its potentially sinister connections. Now the International Raelian Movement, which believes humans were created by extraterrestrial beings, has dispelled that idea. Raelian guide Thomas Kaenzig s... more »

Originally passed in 1996, The Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) is set to expire in December.

Trump And Ford
Canadians may like to believe that Americans would never elect Donald Trump. But Mitchell Anderson reminds his readers that Canada has already had its Trump. His name was Rob Ford: The success of Trump and Ford are similar in that they rely on an ongoing media circus, incomparable name recognition and an alienated electorate. Both tout business expertise over political experience — Ford was no billionaire but publically played on his part ownership of the family label business. And both politicians enable their supporters by making it respectable to indulge in our ugliest instinct... more »
The Corrupted Democratic Party Follows The Republican Party Further And Further To The Right
This morning, we quoted GOP billionaire Mike Fernandez, from his OpEd endorsing Hillary Clinton, that party loyalty should never come before cores values and principles: "No longer can we hide behind the excuse that party loyalty is paramount, and that a bad candidate of our own is always better than any candidate of theirs. Blind loyalty in this case is the ultimate definition of disloyalty to our beliefs." Gauis mentioned to me that any #BernieOrBust true believer could have written the same thing. Yesterday Thom Hartmann had Mike Papantonio on his show to talk about how it was... more »
Japanese Grandad Fights Off Wild Bear Using Only His Hands
A Japanese fisherman had to use his karate skills to fight off a 6ft 3″ snarling Asian black bear after coming face to face with the beast in a mountain creek. Bangkok Post reports: The 63-year-old was fishing in a mountain creek when the 190-centimetre (6-foot 3-inch) creature set upon him in what he said was an unprovoked attack.
