That will only counter half the migrants Dems are bringing in this year who will vote them in again.

They are way ahead in this department as usual.

US bankruptcy court holds Kyrgyz gov’t in contempt over Kumtor seizure

Posted by ipso facto @ 22:43 on July 21, 2021  

The US Bankruptcy Court has ruled the Kyrgyz government is in contempt of court for continuing its legal actions locally against Canada’s Centerra Gold (TSX: CG; NYSE: CCAU) subsidiary, Kumtor Gold Company (KGC).

The Kyrgyz government has revived a slew of previously settled alleged tax and environmental complaints at the Kumtor gold mine before the seizure of the mine, the country’s largest industrial concern, in mid-May.

US Bankruptcy Court judge Lisa Beckerman
In the order handed down late on July 20, judge Lisa Beckerman held that the Kyrgyz Republic was in contempt of court for violating US bankruptcy rules when it took legal action against KGC in the Kyrgyz Republic earlier this month.

@ipso facto Video: American Classic Cars in Cuba – A journey back in time

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 20:34 on July 21, 2021  

Yes I remember USSR was helping them, until they went broke with the Arms Race against us. I heard a lot of tourists from Europe went there. The series I saw looked pretty real to me. They have been keeping those 1950s era USA cars running. With hand made obsolete parts.

Of course, there will always be people wanting to come here. I think Castro even exported a bunch to Fla. They think they will get rich over night. I’ve met a few over the years. And they realize later its not so easy for most. Even lots of people born here are disappointed about their situation.

I feel sorry for Cuba. I have no animosity or hatred. They would prosper if they opened up or joined the global community.

“The main point I was trying to make was, if the Cuban people are hurting, its because the country has been discriminated against financially since they won independence in the 1950s”

I think you are wrong here and this is a misconception. Cuba has absorbed billions from it’s socialist pals and it is still a shithole country that people are trying to escape.

Potemkin Village is not a person. it is a concept … it means a fake facade. A prosperous front but the reality is quite different.

“In politics and economics, a Potemkin village is any construction (literal or figurative) whose sole purpose is to provide an external façade to a country which is faring poorly, making people believe that the country is faring better. The term comes from stories of a fake portable village built solely to impress Empress Catherine II by her former lover Grigory Potemkin, during her journey to Crimea in 1787. While modern historians agree that accounts of this portable village are exaggerated, the original story was that Potemkin erected phony portable settlements along the banks of the Dnieper River in order to impress the Russian Empress; the structures would be disassembled after she passed, and re-assembled farther along her route to be viewed again as if another example”

I don’t know. Perhaps he changed his mind? I guess we’ll see how the story unfolds.

The main point I was trying to make was, if the Cuban people are hurting, its because the country has been discriminated against financially since they won independence in the 1950s, from global business influences setting up there, like South Vietnam. I heard it was foreign Tin Mines interests there.

Vietnam won independence too but joined the UN Security Council and now foreign businesses probably set up over there to export products back to the USA. The Venezuelan people too, were fine with higher Oil prices, and got very poor when oil crashed. But the Media blamed Socialism.

In my view the whole global economy lives as one big socialism thing, that’s why the USA lost so much, and undeveloped countries like China GOT so much. They spread the wealth.

I googled the Potemkin Village and the Author. Turns out he’s a typical media journalist guy that makes short stories long for entertainment. Below was info I found on him.

=========================================

“During the years of the Trump Presidency, Goldberg has remained very critical of conservative media’s embrace of President Trump. On Trump’s defenders in the media, Goldberg said this:”

“For nearly five years now, it has been obvious that Trump was unfit for the job and the arguments marshaled in his defense were cynical rationalizations that, for some, eventually mutated into sincerely held delusions. Sure, some deluded themselves from the beginning, but I’ve talked to too many Republican politicians and conservative media darlings who admitted it in private.

During the Trump Presidency, Goldberg became increasingly critical of both the Republican Party’s embrace of President Trump and their abandonment of pre-Trump principles”

Ipso, here’s the video in question. Just pull the time ahead to 41:30 and listen for the next few minutes.

I agree with what you are saying. I too heard a very impressive Rand Paul presentation, but the question remains, why did Rand Paul not pull the trigger?? That is what makes the whole thing appear to be a charade. When he had the opportunity…..and he had to evidence in his hand….. why did he not pull the trigger??????  Just Saying???????????????

From the information I have I think you were looking at a Potemkin Village Cuba. You don’t see people fleeing other countries to go there, only to flee from there.

Nobody hates communists more than the people who have lived under a communist regime!

Cuba goes TU and we’ll have a million Cubans coming here. Most of them voting against socialism-communism.

It’s probably inevitable as their economy doesn’t seem to function very well.

If it’s a smokescreen it is a very convincing one. Rand Paul was sure giving it to Fauci good and hard. Quite convincing!

IPSO – I don’t think E-Coli was ever confirmed …

Posted by Alex Valdor @ 17:13 on July 21, 2021  

but my symptoms and yours seem similar and match the description of E-Coli – all it takes is a food handler not washing up thoroughly after using the toilet – or even handling the doorknob after someone else . This was three months before COVID was recognized so Not that .
When the son-in-law listened to my heart , it DID catch his attention , LOL .

I had an EKG about a month later and had maybe one skipped beat every minute or two , no concern .

I can’t think of an easier way to go , though . Grey out , black out , and say hello to St. Peter .

Good thing you have doctors in the family. Ecoli is one of the worst and most deadly of them all. Hamburger not cooked through is a big culprit or putting non cooked foods on the same counter as the meat but many including unfiltered water.

@ipso facto Re Cuba? Some Memories Here.

Posted by Mr.Copper @ 16:11 on July 21, 2021  

Years ago there was a reality TV show of lots Cuban guys in little metal working shops. I was amazed by their craftsman ship. And they all seemed happy. Even films from on the streets, the people seemed happy well dressed, well nourished etc.

You know me. I think WAY outside the Media’s shit box info. In my view, the latest Media news implying they are rioting against communism? Were the brainwashed liberals burning and rioting in major US cities fighting against communism?

I believe the global gov’t put sanctions on Cuba to piss off the people and create disorder and a regime change. The Global Powers have physical and psychological problems with pockets of independence. Even the Branch Davidians and Ruby Ridge people out in the middle of nowhere had to be straightened out.

Besides all that? The USA has historically been allies with Communist China and Communist Russia. We don’t see those citizens fighting communism. Except Hong Kong a little pocket of independence.

North Vietnam was not fighting against communism either. They were fighting against global business men or global powers or corporations that like to do as they please (especially mining) in other countries. The worlders have been SALIVATING to take over Afghanistan. Try to imagine all the untapped natural resources in all those mountains.

Recently I read Peru is getting smart, learning, and want to take over, tax or inhibit some foreign based mining companies. Over time one by one the backward countries smarten up, and say…

“What the hell are you doing hear?” That’s our stuff in our land, buzz off, have a nice day, you got away with taking our stuff a long time, we learned from you, be happy with what you already got away with”.

Way too much negativity in the news. I never believe anything they say or imply. I could them in too many lies.

ipso facto @ 13:08 Re: Rand Paul requesting DOJ investigation into Fauci Lying to Congress

Posted by silverngold @ 15:00 on July 21, 2021  

Please go back to my 22:45 post yesterday on the Stew Peters video. Dr David Martin stated that he and his wife personally gave Rand Paul and the rest of Congress, in April 2020, all the proof of Fauci’s deliberate lies ….and he concludes that they are all in on it and just passing the buck so it appears they are working hard to expose it but in fact it is all just a smokescreen to distract us while the dirty deed is being done.

I don’t want to misquote what he said but that is pretty close to it. Please take the time to see it for yourself. Thanks!!

Joe doesn’t want Cuban refugees here! Florida will be GOP forever.

Keep Cuba Castroite?
What was so hard about understanding that Cuba since 1959 has been a Communist gulag, antithetical to human freedom and consensual government? What was so difficult about conceding that Cuba had been an ally of the nuclear Soviet Union, always egging it on to war against the United States?

Yet here we are with protestors against a failed, evil state in the streets of Havana, and our own government, media, and professional classes are worried that ossified Communism in Cuba may fall.

After opening the U.S. southern border to pseudo-political refugees, the Biden Administration is terrified that thousands of real ones might come to Miami in the fashion it invited millions to storm into Texas. The Biden Administration, and the Left in general, finally revealed what many of us have known: it had no real ideological view on illegal immigration. Its immigration policy was entirely utilitarian and hinged only on whether illegal immigration altered the demography of the electorate in the correct way.

“noticing my heart was skipping about every sixth beat”

That’s kinda scary!

IPSO – on my last trip to S.America I believe I got E-Coli from on-board food .

Posted by Alex Valdor @ 13:32 on July 21, 2021  

I did not get sick until two or three days later , then , vomiting , loose bowels , low grade fever , etc.
The loose bowels persisted (Fortunately have two family MD’s there so I think I was on antibiotics …foggy memory about that ) . I did get onto electrolyte’s after noticing my heart was skipping about every sixth beat . After about 10 days , went the other way – constipated , but otherwise rebounding to my usual healthy self .

No matter your better now. I got food poisoning once from a store. I bought some chicken fired it up was really hungry so picked up a piece to have a few bites and would of only had one normally if I wasn’t hungry and knew it was bad so threw it out and made something else for the family. Thank goodness I ate it first. I got sick but never bothered to go to the hospital and wait my money knowing they were just basically going to treat it with fluids which I could do.
Your body is just trying to get rid of the bug. It wasn’t to bad but bad enough. Mostly nausea fever to burn it out and fatigue.
You should see if it doesn’t cost you if you have antibodies from Covid just incase you run into the vaccine nazis in some form. If you did your now immune.
