I would have sworn I had already posted this video but maybe I forgot to hit the enter/post ? The guy is funny and tells a very strange and grand story.. Some of the key players were house hold names when I was growing up so maybe that is why I like to listen.

This is the companion thread to "The Continuing Adventures of Rack and Ruin". This is the thread for comments (from readers or writers), and the occasional veiled co-ordination amongst writers in the thread.

Just for completeness in cross-linkage, here is the story thread.

Have at it.

Here's the idea: This is a collaborative writing effort, initiated by BIAD and myself, but potentially open to other writers who may want to join in. This thread is meant to contain the story installments, and ONLY the story installments. Comments and coordination will be carried out in an companion thread, to keep the storyline as fluent as possible - if it gets fluent, that is!

The Companion Thread for comments is here.

With that said, on to the story...

The government is slow as molasses, aren't they?    

Well, here it is 2018, almost 17 years to the day, and we are FINALLY maybe going to get a new investigation into 9-11.
(There's that number 17 again that's always showing up in things related to Q   )

Quote:Good news has finally come along for the many people who know office fires cannot bring down modern steel framed skyscrapers, and it’s good news for the rest of the world as well. On April 10th of this year, the non-profit Lawyers Committee for 9-11 Inquiry filed a petition with the U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, Manhattan, formally requesting that he present to a grand jury, as a U.S. Attorney, extensive evidence of federal crimes relating to the destruction of three World Trade Center high-rises on 9/11/2001. The petition cites broad and conclusive evidence, providing proof of explosives and incendiaries employed at ground zero to bring down the twin towers and WTC Building 7.(1)

Incredibly, America’s government waged war around the world to retaliate for 9-11, but never thoroughly investigated the collapse of these three WTC skyscrapers. This petition with the Department of Justice, for the first time, brings forward into a court of law the cavalcade of credible evidence disproving the official story which blames fire alone for the collapse of these buildings. The 52 page petition, with 57 exhibits, also points out that this crime of bombing a public building was not committed by a single person acting alone, and asks the jurors to inquire into the crimes of aiding and abetting and conspiracy.

The First Amended Petition
On 30 July 2018, an amended petition, The First Amended Petition, was delivered to U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman in Manhattan, NY. This First Amended Petition references all of the same evidence presented in their original petition, but also has added three additional federal crimes that the Lawyers Committee allege the submitted evidence shows were committed related to the tragic events of 9/11.
The three new federal crimes are;

• Federal Law Criminalizes Acts of Terrorism Transcending National Boundaries
  
• Federal Law Criminalizes Providing Material Support to Terrorists
  
• Federal Law Criminalizes the Killing of a Federal Government Agent or Employee
  
  

It is important to raise awareness of this petition among the citizenry, because although federal law mandates that this evidence be presented to a grand jury for investigation, the DOJ will likely not do so without oversight from the public. In anticipation of this, the Lawyers Committee is now preparing a writ of mandamus to file with the court on September 10th, which in effect will sue the DOJ to compel them to carry out their obligations under the law.

Quote:Jacksonville: police report 'multiple fatalities' in Florida mass shooting.



'Police reported “multiple fatalities’ in a mass shooting in Jacksonville, Florida on Sunday.
One suspect was dead at the scene, the local sheriff’s office said, adding that it did not know if
there was a second suspect and officers were “finding many people hiding in locked areas”.

The shooting reportedly took place at an online gaming tournament.

In a Facebook post datelined Jacksonville, Ryen Aleman, of Robstown, Texas, posted: “Don’t wish
anyone on this –the scariest moment of my life. Just thank God I made it out of there safe.
Prayers for everyone that is out there right now.”

His post carried widely circulated video and audio of what appeared to be a shooting interrupting
a game of Madden NFL 19 football. Speaking to CNN, Aleman said: “Everyone ducked down.
I got down and crawled to the bathroom.” He added: “I heard so many gunshots, 20 at least.
I’m so shocked I can hardly talk.”

“Mass shooting at the Jacksonville Landing,” the Jacksonville sheriff’s office said earlier, on Twitter.
“Stay far away from the area. The area is not safe at this time. STAY AWAY.” The warning was for
media too, the sheriff’s office said, adding: “It is for safety.”

The police then said: “Multiple fatalities at the scene, many transported. One suspect is dead at the
scene, unknown at this time if we have a second suspect. Searches are being conducted.”
A further tweet said: “We are finding many people hiding in locked areas at the Landing.

We ask you to stay calm, stay where you are hiding. Swat is doing a methodical search inside the
Landing. We will get to you. Please don’t come running out. “If you are hiding in the Landing, call 911
so we can get to you.”

The Jacksonville Landing area contains restaurants and shops and is situated along the St Johns river.
A notice on the website of EA Sports stated: “This weekend, the first of four Madden NFL 19 Classic
qualifier events will take place at the GLHF game bar in Jacksonville, Florida.”

An eSports team, comPlexity Gaming, said on Twitter it was not an organiser of the event in Jacksonville
but one of its players “was grazed in the hand” and was “away from the scene and safe”.

Speaking to CNN, Aleman described the venue as being at the back of a pizza restaurant.
He described the use of a laser-aimed gun and said he thought two men came into the venue through
the restaurant.

“They went to the back and they just started shooting everyone, and people were just dropping,” he said.

Aleman said he saw at least six people on the floor who had been shot, and that there were 40 to 50
people in the venue, “just running around everywhere”. After he had been hiding in a locked bathroom for
about 10 minutes, he said, the shooting stopped: “Everyone was crying. I hear people yelling ‘Help me,
I’m shot’.
I peeked out because I didn’t know if the gunman was still around. I was scared for my life.”

Vic Micolucci, a reporter for local station WJXT, told CNN there were at least 11 victims, of whom four were
understood to be dead. In Virginia, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters Donald Trump
had been briefed on events in Florida...'

Portals are out there and they allow other beings to access our Dimension and for us to access their's.
Only Briefly it seems most of the time, but I do believe that people can disappear through a portal and return.

   
OUIJA boards do open portals and I think if you don't know how to use one properly DON"T!
Never use one alone or if your depressed or have some sort of Bipolar disorder.

if you do open this kind of portal, you MUST know how to Close it properly.
  Yes, a OUIJA can open portals and you need to close that portal.
Yes You Do! If you don't, you'll have visitors and entities can come and go through that portal and I'm all most positive those entities aren't going to be your father or mother.

Everyone (who doesn't know the truth) is upset that the world will soon lose Senator John McCain. He recently decided to stop his cancer treatments and accept his fate. This was reported yesterday.

For those wondering why I inserted (no name) in the title, it's because we the people don't like to say his name. He was a traitor to our country and doesn't deserve to be recognized.  President Trump wouldn't even say his name in one of his rallies recently.

Quote:Sen. John McCain, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer last year, has decided to discontinue treatment, his family said in a statement Friday.
Last summer McCain said he had been diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma, "and the prognosis was serious," his family said in a statement.

"In the year since, John has surpassed expectations for his survival. But the progress of disease and the inexorable advance of age render their verdict," the McCain family said. "With his usual strength of will, he has now chosen to discontinue medical treatment. Our family is immensely grateful for the support and kindness of all his caregivers over the last year, and for the continuing outpouring of concern and affection from John’s many friends and associates, and the many thousands of people who are keeping him in their prayers. God bless and thank you all."

McCain's wife, Cindy, and daughter, Meghan, thanked the teams who took care of him and members of the public who have supported their family.

I love my husband with all of my heart. God bless everyone who has cared for my husband along this journey.

Quote:That’s $3.4 Billion. Not million. Billion.

That is how much theft Sen. John McCain tried to help cover up from his friend and benefactor Charles Keating who had greased McCain and other senators with more than $1 million in political contributions. But that did not include the family vacations McCain’s family took with the Keating’s.

And the gifts.
And the campaign cash.
And the private jets.

And whatever side deals, property and cash these senators quietly scored.

So while everyone in D.C. now is offering tributes to John McCain — no one seems to remember the time he tried to make sure his pal could rip off billions from hard-working Americans who deposited their money in Lincoln Savings and Loan. Americans who lost their cash — and taxpayers who were on the hook for guaranteeing that money.

Credit Barack Obama for raising this scandal — a debacle McCain and his spin doctors have worked so hard to bury — in 2008 when he ran against McCain for the presidency.

Obama actually rolled out a website and made a documentary slamming McCain for his involvement. “McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating with federal regulators tasked with preventing banking fraud, and championed legislation to delay regulation of the savings and loan industry – actions that allowed Keating to continue his fraud at an incredible cost to taxpayers,” the site said.

The Facts: Keating was sentenced to prison and required to pay more than $1 billion in civil penalties after being convicted on fraud, racketeering and conspiracy charges centered around his running of Lincoln Savings and Loan, which he bought in 1984. On April 14, 1989, Lincoln was seized by the government at an eventual taxpayer cost of $3.4 billion, then the most expensive thrift bailout in history. Lincoln and Keating became national symbols of the savings-and-loans collapse of the ’80s – much as lending firms Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have symbolized the current financial meltdown.

McCain had been friends with Keating since the early ’80s – their families vacationed together several times, according to previous CNN reporting. Keating was an early financial supporter of McCain’s political career and donated to his campaigns repeatedly over the years. Keating’s first company, American Continental, was headquartered in Arizona, the state McCain represents. McCain became one of the so-called “Keating Five” – five U.S. senators investigated over accusations they tried to interfere in a federal investigation of Keating’s role in the savings-and-loan’s collapse.

In January 1985, while in the U.S. House, McCain co-sponsored a resolution that would have delayed the effective date of proposed government limits “on direct investment in real estate, service corporations, and equity securities by federally insured savings and loan associations.” He was one of the early sponsors, although a majority of Congress eventually signed on to sponsor it. The legislation would have impacted Keating’s business, but would have regulated the entire industry, not specifically Lincoln Savings and Loan.

McCain also wrote several letters to government regulators and other officials regarding the issue. One, dated Jan. 30, 1985, to White House chief of staff James Baker, called the proposed regulations “unwise,” saying the effort “flys (sic) in the face of our recent efforts to remove the hand of government from the affairs of private enterprise.”

On April 9, 1987, McCain and the other senators attended a meeting with federal regulators investigating Keating. McCain has since said he regrets doing so. “He asked me to help him,” he said during an October 2002 interview with Chicago’s WGN-AM radio station. “I said I wouldn’t do certain things. He called me a wimp. I threw him out of my office, but I still went to a meeting with four other senators with a group of regulators.” READ MORE:

The Free Beacon published this lengthy document by David Brock, the founder of Soros-funded Media Matters website, from a January donor retreat.

The 49 page memo outlined how the George Soros-funded groups Media Matters, American Bridge, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and Shareblue planned to undermine President Trump’s agenda and help Democrats win control of Congress and the White House by 2020.

Quote:“As it happens, 90 percent of search around the world is conducted on just one search engine,” noted Epstein. “There’s never been a precedent for anything like this, ever. You’ve got one company that’s controlling search around the world.”

The young lady who has been missing and the major search for her body that was reported on a lot by the MSM has a new twist.
They found her body and made an arrest.
The MSM is reporting that her body was found and that an arrest has been made, but the are not telling you all the Facts!

Now look at the direction the grains of sand or dirt have been blown, looks like This Rock has been blown and resting on something.

Quote:'Foreign object' on Mars spotted by Curiosity Rover is just a rock

Quote:Don't worry: NASA's Mars rover Curiosity isn't falling apart.

On Monday (Aug. 13), Curiosity photographed an odd, flat object that mission team members initially thought might have fallen off the car-size robot. Indeed, they dubbed the weirdly shaped target the "Pettegrove Point Foreign Object Debris," or PPFOD in NASA-speak. (Pettegrove Point is a section of Vera Rubin Ridge, the landform Curiosity has been exploring for the last 11 months or so.)

Quote:"In fact, it was found to be a very thin flake of rock, so we can all rest easy tonight — Curiosity has not begun to shed its skin!" mission team member Brittney Cooper, an atmospheric scientist based at York University in Toronto, wrote in an update Thursday (Aug. 16).
