I just got back into town from visiting the family for the week. It was one of the best visits I've had in a long, long time.

But while I was away I couldn't help but notice the news about Turkey shooting down the Russian plane.
I'm curious what people's take here was on CC9P and DKos?
What's the going meme?

I don't even know what CC9P is. I assume it's just another group of well-meaning amateurs, like over at Dkos.

But, what I do have is a link to an historical document I noticed at Cryptome that I thought might interest you.

It discusses the decades-long coup of the Federal government that we are enduring. It end's with:

The American ruling class is telling Big Lies about its direct support of Nazi sympathizers instrumental in the Ukraine Coup; its attempt to dismantle Russia through sanctions, currency manipulation, and tampering with the world’s oil production; its wayward children of ISIS; its military encirclement of China; and its drive to cull the population of the USA through austerity programs and the creation of class and foreign wars. It is all so easy to see.
Over at Fabius Maximus the results of a recent YouGov poll on a military takeover of the USA were discussed:

“Then comes the worse news. The YouGov poll shows that 29% of Americans can imagine a situation in which they would support the military seizing control of the federal government... It’s an old story...the unwillingness of Rome’s people to bear the burdens of self-government. Strong men contended for the throne, as seems increasingly likely to happen to America, when we turn to the police or military for succor during bad times. The people of Rome reacted to the fall of the Republic and rise of the Empire with resignation, such as Stoicism, Epicureanism, Hedonism, and Christianity. What philosophies or religions will we create to numb our sense of responsibility? The Founders modeled the United States after Rome, and worried that we would follow the same course. Their writings, such as the Federalist Papers, describe our love of liberty as the foundation of the Republic.

Or not.”

According to tradition, the People's Liberation Army originated when CPC leaders met in Jiujiang on August 1, 1927.

I was there in the mid-1980s when unsupervised travel began to be permitted. Officially the population was ten or twenty times less than the figure they give now. That seems to because they redrew the city boundaries to extend over a much wider area, not just due to growth.

Here's Wikipedia's quick take on the 2015 Russian Sukhoi Su-24 shootdown.

A shootdown of a Russian Sukhoi Su-24M [3] bomber aircraft by Turkish Air Force F-16 fighter jet occurred near the Syria–Turkey border on 24 November 2015. [4] According to Turkey, the aircraft was fired upon while in Turkish airspace because the aircraft violated the border up to a depth of 2.19 kilometres (1.36 miles) for about 17 seconds after being warned to change its heading 10 times over a period of five minutes. [5][6] The Turkish Ambassador to the UN Halit Cevik also said that it did not know the nationality of the aircraft at the time of the shooting. [5][7] The Russia Defence Ministry denied the aircraft ever left Syrian airspace, counter-claiming that their satellite data showed that the Sukhoi was about 1,000 metres (1,100 yd) inside Syrian airspace when it was shot down. [8] According to unnamed United States officials, the aircraft was shot down in Syrian airspace [9] after being in Turkish airspace for two to three seconds. [10]

There's more background, etc., at the link.

Interestingly, Wikipedia can be very good at developing news stories, before the narrative is set/modified (which it may already be by now). To find such stories, I use StartPage to search for key terms then add the short-form term "wiki" to get Wikipedia results.

it's also not that relevant, even if Turkey would claim it has been over their space, they couldn't have given the order to shoot while the Su-24 was still in Turkish airspace. It was way too short for ordering the order for shoot down only after the Su-24 had entered Turkish air space and hitting the jet still while in Turkish air space.

It's definitely in my mind not possible and I don't think that Turkey had any reason to shoot. But that's just my own opinion. Considering how often incidences like that lead to major conflicts and how often these were "staged" in past history, I just don't give a damn anymore. I am glad that it was basically physically not possible to shoot the jet down over Turkish airspace. One doesn't have to get into "hyper discussions" about it.

The best and brightest on the Internet, those with self respect, are moving their email to Start Mail, as well.

As far as Wikipedia goes, they left out the testimony of pilot, that they received no warnings. That's why they made no diversionary moves, which any trained military pilot would do. They knew nothing until they were hit.

Whether or not they were in Turkish airspace for a few seconds, it is not standard practice to be attacked. At least not among Russians, whose airspace is "accidentally" violated by NATO dozens of times each year. Nor does the US immediately attack when its airspace is violated, which happens not infrequently.

Russia is the only country that is operating there legally under international law, i.e. by the Syrian government's invitation.

Also, back in 2012 after Syria shot down a Turkish warplane, Erdogan indignantly said "A short-term border violation can never be a pretext for an attack." Western media seem to be avoiding drawing this connection.

Back in 2010, Erdogan complained about Israel violating Lebanese airspace. Imagine the uproar in the West if Lebanon shot down Israeli warplanes that do this.

None of this qualifies as the prevailing meme — these are just points that emerge from my own signal-versus-noise filter.

Several of the big boxes and chain dept. stores here in Portland announced they we're not opening for Black Friday. I think the vocal backlash here along with boycotts made them think it was good PR to no longer have black Friday sales. I'm sure Wal-Mart or Target which are confined to the burbs and x-burbs here did not follow suit.

…I saw this holiday announcement from the President the other day in the Federal Register:

NOTICE -------
CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY
WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN TERRORIST ATTACKS

Consistent with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies
Act, 50 U.S.C. 1622(d), I am continuing for 1 year the national
emergency previously declared on September 14, 2001, in
Proclamation 7463, with respect to the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001, and the continuing and immediate threat of
further attacks on the United States.

Because the terrorist threat continues, the national
emergency declared on September 14, 2001, and the powers and
authorities adopted to deal with that emergency must continue in
effect beyond September 14, 2015. Therefore, I am continuing in
effect for an additional year the national emergency that was
declared on September 14, 2001, with respect to the terrorist
threat.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

THE WHITE HOUSE,
September 10, 2015.

Do people actually believe this absolute bullshit? What's the matter with ordinary people who are addicted to fear and constant cooked up threat's that are surreal and if you follow the story line from 9/11 make no sense. This is not complicated and doesn't even require you to have a knowledge of history. Contrary to Condi's dismissal of 'historic' vs. the now the 'terrrist's who are gonna kill yer family' is so convoluted and twisty there is no excuse for getting into hysterical fear and hate mode. Guess it's a good distraction and a form of denial that allows these people not to deal with the real villains of this piece. Who wants to admit their country is a 'rogue nation' on a rampage? One of the strangest turn of event's in this fast moving global madness is the reviving of the Cold War. Jeeze it was never really believable when it was the commies vs. the 'free world'. I'm so sick of the polls of mass deception that tell me 68? percent of our population thinks kill them all a valid response to threat that 'The West' and it's bloody spooks have carefully created and the misplaced fear that get's pumped daily.

Here's a little sanity from a tenuous leader in 'the west'. Hope his message gains traction and I wish Bernie had a similar response to this genocidal killing of humans and the planet that people believe threatens our civilized 'world as we find it'. Or maybe we're just a nation with a lot evil fucks who like violence, killing and glories in kicking butt. Strange days Moma. didn't think kit could get any stranger after the Bushies but it did and it doesn't look like it's about to reverse course. People of good spirit globally need to come together on this and make a big ruckus.

Jeremy Corbyn seeks grassroots Labour support for stance against bombing Syria

Jeremy Corbyn is expected to seek the direct backing of grassroots Labour members and the party’s ruling body as he tries to persuade his MPs not to support David Cameron’s case for bombing Islamic State in Syria.....................................

On top of that, Momentum, the grassroots group of Corbyn backers, has signed up more than 7,500 people in the last 24 hours to lobby their MP to vote against military action. Thousands of people are also expected to take part in a Stop the War demo over the weekend.

Corbyn’s position was further cemented by his two biggest union backers, Unite and Unison. Len McCluskey, the Unite leader, said the case had not been made by Cameron and the government proposals were a “knee-jerk reaction”, while Dave Prentis, the general secretary of Unison, urged politicians “to take a step back and think twice about the implications of UK bombing raids over Syria”

Meanwhile the French so called 'Socialist Democratic' president says

The French president, François Hollande, also made a direct appeal to British MPs to back the proposals, saying: “We want to destroy terrorism … I hope that the House of Commons will be able to meet the request of prime minister Cameron.”

The comment section was interesting. the usual cons vs lib breakdown.My favorite comment

'I DO NOT SUPPORT BOMBING IN SYRIA'

So read it and weep America's poodle the UK and the rest of NATO are up for revenge and endless bloody killing. Notice how no news sites ever say what these refugees are fleeing? It's ISIS not our bombing and destruction right?

The IEEPA authorizes the president to regulate commerce after declaring a national emergency in response to any unusual and extraordinary threat to the United States that stems from a foreign source.

Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622 (d)) provides for the automatic termination of a national emergency unless, prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a notice stating that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary date.

…from author and journalist, Ramzy Baroud.

You'll Laugh, You'll Cry…

[Excerpt]

I still remember that smug look on his face, followed by the matter-of-fact remarks that had western journalists laugh out loud.

"I'm now going to show you a picture of the luckiest man in Iraq," General Norman Schwarzkopf, known as 'Stormin' Norman, said at a press conference sometime in 1991, as he showed a video of US bombs blasting an Iraqi bridge, seconds after the Iraqi driver managed to cross it.

But then, a far more unjust invasion and war followed in 2003, following a decade-long siege that cost Iraq a million of its children and its entire economy.

It marked the end of sanity and the dissipation of any past illusions that the United States was a friend of the Arabs. Not only did the Americans destroy the central piece of our civilizational and collective experience that spanned millennia, it took pleasure in degrading us in the process. Their soldiers raped our women with obvious delight. They tortured our men, and posed with the dead, mutilated bodies in photographs -- mementos to prolong the humiliation for eternity; they butchered our people, explained in articulate terms as necessary and unavoidable collateral damage; they blew up our mosques and churches and refused to accept that what was done to Iraq over the course of 20 years might possibly constitute war crimes.

Then, they expanded their war, taking it as far as US bombers could reach; they tortured and floated their prisoners aboard large ships, cunningly arguing that torture in international waters does not constitute a crime; they suspended their victims on crosses and photographed them for future entertainment.

Their entertainers, media experts, intellectuals and philosophers made careers from dissecting us, dehumanizing us, belittling everything we hold dear; they did not spare a symbol, a prophet, a tradition, values or set of morals. When we reacted and protested out of despair, they further censured us for being intolerant to view the humor in our demise; they used our angry shouts to further highlight their sense of superiority and our imposed lowliness….

August 2, 1990 beginning of the first
American war on Iraq, especially as
Bush41 followed it up one month later
