On That Little Blue Engine And The Horror Of Unbounded Possibilities

By Author Douglas Galbi: When she was about thirty-five, my mom read to me Shel Silverstein’s “The Little Blue Engine” as bedtime reading. My mom still remembered doing that about thirty-three years later. She then gave to me that poem in a book that she made with her own hands.
Today, college students probably wouldn’t have read to them “The Little Blue Engine” without a preceding trigger warning. Here’s the problem: the little blue engine was little and weak, yet it aspired to climb a tall hill. In the rhythm of a machine, not a human being, the little blue engine repeatedly engaged in self-affirmation: “I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.” But it couldn’t. It failed badly. It fell back terribly and got all banged up.
While the “The Little Blue Engine” supports a violent attack on self-identity, my mom crafted her book beautifully with care and empathy.

Cuba "Studying Cryptocurrency" To Dodge U.S. Sanctions, Says Gov't

In a public address on local television, the country’s president, Migual Diaz-Canel, said the plan would raise capital for around one quarter of the population, helping to pay for reforms.

Key RussiaHoax 'Sources' Identified - Two Russian 'Jews' Paid For By US & UK Tax Payers Via CIA & MI6

MI6 English agent Christopher Steele won’t tell who his Russian sources were for his bogus dossier.  The entire thing was a sham but he did attempt to put faces to some of his sources. Regardless, we’ve identified two of the ‘Russians’ likely used in the Steele dossier.
By Joe Hoft: The first real Russian identified and linked to the Steele dossier is Simon Kukes.  We know Kukes is related to the bogus dossier because Steele mentioned Kukes in his meeting with State Department official Kathleen Kavalec.  Kavalec said that the CIA’s Firestone brought Kukes in. [RI: Kukes is Jewish].
Remember, Firestone was kicked out of Russia because he was turning Russians into spies.  Perhaps Firestone turned Kukes?
Now there’s another Russian connection to add the list: Open Secrets reported Monday that Simon Grigorievich Kukes, a Russian-American oil magnate who has headed a number of Russian oil companies, has given more than $150,000 to the Trump campaign and Trump Victory, the campaign’s joint fundraising committee, since March of this year. These donations mark the first time he’s contributed to federal elections, according to FEC filings.

Orwellian US Gov't: Assange Is Not A 'Real' Journalist - Press Protections Don't Apply To Him... Or To You

By Ted Galen Carpenter: One reliable bipartisan characteristic of U.S. leaders is an obsession with shaping the foreign policy narrative and concealing any information that contradicts their version of events. Indeed, many of them harbor the desire to prosecute anyone who leaks classified material that exposes blunders, lies or crimes. Two events in the past few weeks demonstrate that the desire to squash such disclosures is running at high tide: the attempt to extradite and prosecute WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on espionage charges, and President Trump’s angry outburst accusing the New York Times of “treason” for its story disclosing U.S. cyberattacks on Russia’s power grid.
The Trump administration seems eager to go after troublesome journalists—a course that previous administrations generally have avoided since the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the 1971 Pentagon Papers case. The actual extent of that decision’s protection typically has been overstated, however. The Court rejected the administration’s bid for prior restraint—the use of censorship to bar publication–but did not explicitly address the question of whether authorities could prosecute journalists once a story using classified documents appeared. Individuals who leak items to the press remained as vulnerable as ever to prosecution for espionage, but members of the press have enjoyed de facto immunity. Officials seemed wary that post-publication attempts to prosecute press outlets might run afoul of the courts as well.
With the attempt to prosecute Julian Assange, that situation threatens to change dramatically.
