UkraineGate, son of RussiaGate, raises an interesting question: is our Central Intelligence Agency really this crude that they would loan out a CIA officer to the White House’s National Security Council (NSC) and use him as a weapon to shiv the occupant of the oval office? Or was The New York Times’s unmasking of the “whistleblower” just another ruse by the Deep State Disinfo Division?
Let’s face it, there were not so many CIA spooks working in that White House office, so it shouldn’t be too hard to figure out who it was. A leading candidate is veteran CIA officer Michael Barry, an assassination expert, as it happens, who was loaned out during Mike Pompeo’s brief stint as CIA chief. Barry acted as the NSC’s chief intelligence officer. Barry or otherwise, I predict the whistleblower’s identity will be known for sure in pretty short order.
So much material in this tale doesn’t add up that it looks like the results of a math test in a Baltimore middle school. For one thing, the now public whistleblower complaint makes it clear that the whistleblower’s information is second-hand. The Intel Community Whistleblower Protection Act (ICWPA) explicitly prohibits complaints based on second-hand news: “In order to find an urgent concern credible, the IGIC [Intel Community Inspector General] must be in possession of reliable, first-hand information. The IGIC cannot transmit information via the ICWPA based on an employee’s second-knowledge of wrongdoing. This includes information received from another person, such as when a fellow employee informs you that he/she has witnessed some type of wrongdoing.” See for yourself in the ICWPA Form 401:
Did Director of National Intelligence Joseph McGuire know that when he testified that the whistleblower’s complaint was “credible” and made in “good faith.” Did ICIG Michael Horowitz know that when he sent the whistleblower complaint to Admiral McGuire? Did House Intel Committee Chair Adam Schiff know that when he led a grandstanding exercise in his committee on Thursday?
Others have pointed out that the whistleblower’s complaint was composed as a legal brief, leading to the inference that it was constructed by lawyers and perhaps a team of lawyers. The whistleblower’s lawyer is Andrew Bakaj, a former CIA employee who got his start interning for Senator Chuck Schumer and then Hillary Clinton. The Washingtonian said Bakaj “actually wrote the CIA’s internal rules on whistleblowing.” Is that so? Did he write Form 401 then? His client’s complaint states: “I was not a direct witness to most of the events described. However, I found my colleagues’ accounts of these events to be credible because, in almost all cases, multiple officials recounted fact patterns that were consistent with one another.” In other words, second-hand information. Dismissed.
Everyone and his uncle remembers the infamous threat issued to Mr. Trump by Senator Schumer during the transition period in January, 2017: “Let me tell you: You take on the intelligence community — they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you,” Perhaps Senator Schumer should have kept his pie-hole shut on that. He made it official that the Intel Community would act as an adversary and antagonist to the President, and that appears to be exactly what has happened. One suspects that this rogue agency has captured The New York Times, The Washington Post, National Public Radio, and several TV cable news networks as well. And now they are metamorphosing into an enemy of the people.
The moment approaches when Mr. Trump will have to carry out a severe housecleaning of the CIA and perhaps many other agencies under the executive branch of the government. Their ongoing campaign to undo the 2016 election is igniting a civil war. Clearly a part of the whistleblower gambit was an attempt to discredit Attorney General William Barr and set up a device that would force him to recuse himself from any further inquiry into shenanigans carried out in and around Ukraine since 2014, when the CIA and the Obama State Department overthrew the government of Viktor Yanukovych. Mr. Barr is a sturdy fellow. He may have seven ways from Sunday for countering their seditious monkeyshines. Wait for it.
In the meantime, is there any question that UkraineGate has put the schnitz on Joe Biden’s political career. The notorious video of Mr. Biden bragging on his shakedown of then-president Poroshenko has been seen by everybody over age five in the USA. Hillary must be lovin’ it as she makes the rounds on her latest listening tour. Listen to this, Hillary, lost in your wicked daydreams of riding to the Democratic Party’s rescue for yet another shot at the White House: your reputation will never survive the blizzard of indictments coming down on your partisans. And one of these bills might have your name on it.

“‘Be in no doubt the alternative is No Deal’: Boris Johnson sends stark message to Brussels to accept his ‘constructive and reasonable’ Brexit plan saying there must NOT be any more delay”
The only one who could stop no-deal Brexit is theoretically Westminster. Corbyn pretends he is against no-deal (but isn’t) and LibDems are not prepared to support a Corbyn-caretaker government. Difficult to see how no-deal can be avoided. Probably not.
Basically it means the beginning of the end of The West. Good riddance to that.

“Brexit disaster for Jeremy Corbyn as the Liberal Democrats leapfrog the Labour Party into second place in new general election poll while Tories keep the top spot and take 11 point lead”
Will make a Corbyn caretaker government even less likely.
Solid Remain = LibDem + Greens + SNP = 23 + 5 + 5 (?) = 33%
Solid Brexit = Brexit Party = 12%
Mixed Leave/Remain = Tories + Labour, but Leave in the majority.
It is probably still ca. 50-50.
For no deal there is no majority, certainly not in Westminster. Most likely outcome anyway because closet no-deal BoJo is PM and opposition too divided to do anything about it.

Cloggie greets the prospect of an EU army with thunderous applause. Such an army will change forever the relationship between EU member states and the Brussels government. Suddenly, any decision of the EU parliament will be backed by military force and dissent from individual member states will be met by the threat of invasion. Member states like Hungary; Poland and Austria. It allows Merkel, Macron & co to enforce Marxist orthodoxy onto unwilling populace.

We no longer need populist parties to carry out rightwing-enough policies, Christian Democrates begin to copy them.
Merkel is as good as gone.
Macron is NOT Merkel; he had to face le Pen directly in 2017 and lost from her in 2019. He has good relations with both Trump and Putin, unlike Merkel.
The new CDU head of the EU von der Leyen (7 children!) has appointed a new commissionar to “protect European Way of Life”. The Guardian hates it:

Hope you are right Cloggie. I will never forget the bit where Macron promised to ban criticism of Zionism because someone was rude to a Jew about it during the yellow vest protests. He was surrounded by Jews at the time and was visiting a graveyard of ‘holocaust’ victims. He has also been vocal about punishing Hungary for refusing to admit illegal immigrants.
These don’t sound like the words of someone that has any interest in the future of the European people.

“Chaos Scientist Finds Hidden Financial Risks That Regulators Miss”
https://tinyurl.com/yxrxplfd Bloomberg
“Agent-based models, used in fields from biology to sociology, are bottom-up, simulating the messy interactions of hundreds and even millions of agents—human cells or attitudes or financial firms—to explain the behavior of a complex system… Since missing warning signs of the Great Recession, economists have improved their DSGE (dynamic stochastic general equilibrium) models, which remain the workhorses of central bank forecasting. The approach is top-down, aggregating the behavior of the economy into a few representative agents—a household, a firm, and a government… The Santa Cruz students joined researchers across the country to explain why there’s turbulence in the natural world. Consider the weather. At the time, it was assumed that weather changes came from external disturbances hitting the atmosphere. The scientists showed that the volatility is generated from within, caused by chaos, in which a small disturbance in the initial conditions of a complex system is amplified exponentially; that’s why the weather is so hard to predict. The discoveries, which influenced fields from math to the social sciences, were chronicled in James Gleick’s best-selling 1987 book, Chaos: Making a New Science… Agent-based models also suffer from the black-box problem. The inner workings are so complex, with thousands of agents running in different directions, that it can be difficult to pinpoint the main drivers of a model’s findings. That doesn’t sit well with central bankers who need to know the reasons behind their decisions, says Georg of the University of Cape Town. “With DSGE models, we know exactly how A follows from B, and I can explain that to my governor,” he says. “But in an agent-based model, I can’t do that. So how do you communicate these results with the hierarchy? That’s the big missing piece.”

“World’s largest wind farm to use GE’s biggest turbines”
https://tinyurl.com/y27ws5tu renewable energy world
The largest offshore wind farm in the world is set to run on the world’s biggest wind turbine. General Electric Co.’s renewables unit has made an agreement to sell its 853-foot (260-meter) Haliade-X turbines for a wind farm off the eastern coast of England. SSE Plc and Equinor ASA are developing the facility. The deal is a testament to how the increasing scale of both projects and turbines is driving down the cost renewable energy, making them more competitive against fossil fuels. “It cuts down on a lot of the costs of the project,” said John Lavelle, offshore wind chief executive officer at GE Renewable Energy. “When you have something of that size, you need less pedestals, less platforms, less interconnect cabling.” The so-called Dogger Bank wind farm won a power purchase contract from the U.K. government last month that will support the project, which will have the capacity to generate 3.6 gigawatts of electricity. The units will sell power for as little as 39.65 pounds ($49) a megawatt-hour in 2012 prices, 31% below the level in a similar auction two years ago. The wind farms will start working from 2023 to 2025. GE’s success puts pressure on other turbine makers to boost spending to develop bigger turbines… “With costs proportional to the number of turbines, bigger is better”

There will of course be practical size limits to wind turbines, since larger components become progressively more difficult to handle. Also, mass scales with the cube of hub height, whereas power output scales with swept area. So there will be a point at which bigger is no longer better. I read an article a while back that suggested that 12MW was pushing the benefits of scale. But who knows. The real limit will depend upon a huge number of variables.
If electricity can indeed by generated sustainably at $49/MWh; it opens some interesting options for energy storage, as efficiency is no longer such a big cost driver. We can focus on storage options that minimise capital cost, rather than having to build expensive options that push for optimum efficiency.
I have always maintained that the technically easiest way of storing intermittent energy is as heat. Whereas a battery is a costly manufactured component, often made from exotic chemicals; thermal energy storage is as simple as heating up a lump of rock or tank of water using heating elements. Thanks to its high energy density and low cost, this option can be expanded rapidly as both end use application (i.e. storage heaters) or as a means of storing electricity by heating materials to high temperature and using the heat to raise steam in a hybrid boiler.
Given that rate at which fossil fuel energy is becoming unaffordable, we need simple and cheap solutions that can be built quickly in a wide range of environments.

If they were a Russian State propaganda piece, I would expect them to be doing a better job. The editors are pro-Putin. But so are a lot of people.

Some kind of modular swappable battery would be a useful technology. Say if we could divide that 130kg battery into 20 portable batteries that just slot into tubes on each side of the chassis. This is a similar idea to the original flow battery, but can rely on solid modular cells, rather than changing a liquid electrolyte.
If it is quick to change the battery, then energy density doesn’t matter as much. We can concentrate on battery technology that is cheap and sustainable, rather than having to keep pushing for ever increasing energy density. And of course, the battery could be used for things other than cars.

I doubt that Trump is particularly worried about impeachment. The thing that is likely to destroy his re-election chances is the deterioration of the US economy.
Manufacturing is already in recession. How long can consumer spending keep up the illusion of prosperity? Can the illusion be maintained for another 13 months? This is what will keep Trump awake at night. He will get the blame for it, though it isn’t really his fault. The approaching crash would have happened even without the trade war. Maybe just months (or a few years) later.

It is good to know that a sizable number of Americans still have balls.

We are talking about small groups of lightly trained individuals, trying to take on a military power equipped with an intelligence network; supported by a standing army of hundreds of thousands of well armed professional soldiers, who will have air support from reaper drones.
The only way this could work is as a guerrilla war. The problem is that electronic surveillance makes that very difficult now and ZOG Dems will think nothing about cancelling all freedom to privacy and building a police state, in order to crush a rebellion.

Antius, we agree on this one. Large scale revolts in the US will be crushed in short order.

You disappear financially in an eye blink and the ability to survive is limited by your access to an ATM, or no access.
They know where you are and listen in on, and likely record, your phone and internet talk. Especially if you are a known “radical”. If you don’t realize this, you are just in deep denial. You are watched every time you go out your door.
How long can you last if you are blocked from any way to get money to live? This is the digital age, not a 1970 phone, wired to the wall. ATMs and plastic cards, not pass books. There are over 70,000,000 surveillance cameras in the US watching you everywhere you go, not the local cop on the beat. Not to mention the GPS in your phone. A different world.

Look at the spanking Israel received in their failed 2006 invasion of Lebanon. Their “invincible” Merkava tank was neutralized by a highly trained and highly motivated guerilla force that had received arms and training from Iran. In the process, more than 1/3 of Israel’s Merkava tanks were destroyed or damaged beyond repair, and an Isareli naval vessel was damn near sunk by a land based missile.
