Ludington described Kavanaugh as "a frequent drinker, and a heavy drinker."

9-30-18      
  Dr. Charles Ludington, history teacher at NC State U.,  described Kavanaugh as "a frequent drinker, and a heavy drinker."  He says that on many occasions he heard Kavanaugh slur his words and saw him stagger from alcohol consumption, and was often belligerent and aggressive when drunk.    https://www.newsmax.com/us/us-supreme-court-kavanaugh-the-latest/2018/09/30/id/884148/
...................................................................
  9-30-18   Ludington explained why he chose to come forward: “It is truth that is at stake, and I believe that the ability to speak the truth, even when it does not reflect well upon oneself, is a paramount quality we seek in our nation’s most powerful judges.”  Ludington also reached out to the Washington Post about        Kavanaugh’s drinking.  He described a situation in which he said Kavanaugh started a physical fight.  “On one of the last occasions I purposely socialized with Brett, I witnessed him respond to a semi-hostile remark, not by defusing the situation, but by throwing his beer in the man’s face and starting a fight that ended with one of our mutual friends in jail.”      https://heavy.com/news/2018/09/chad-ludington/

White House directs FBI not to interview Julie Swetnick



  The Federal Bureau of Investigation has been instructed by the White House to interview two of the women who have alleged sexual misconduct by Brett Kavanaugh, according to people familiar with the matter.
  The parameters of the FBI probe don’t include interviewing Julie Swetnick, who said this week the Supreme Court nominee attended a party decades ago where she* was gang-raped, according to one of the people.   https://www.wsj.com/articles/white-house-directs-fbi-to-interview-first-two-kavanaugh-accusers-but-not-the-third-1538256505
*no, rather:  But she said she witnessed efforts by Kavanaugh, his friend Mark Judge and others to get girls “inebriated and disoriented so they could then be ‘gang-raped’ in a side room or bedroom by a ‘train’ of numerous boys.”  “I have a firm recollection of seeing boys lined up outside rooms at many of these parties waiting for their ‘turn’ with a girl inside the room,” she wrote in a declaration that her attorney, Michael Avenatti, posted Wednesday on Twitter.  “These boys included Mark Judge and Brett Kavanaugh.”  http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-kavanaugh-avenatti-2018-story.html

Kremlin-coordinated money laundering

8-22-14   Banking records obtained by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) indicate that the Latvian bank Trasta Komercbanka was the final destination for billions of dollars that left Russia in a massive money laundering scheme.  https://www.occrp.org/en/laundromat/latvian-bank-was-laundering-tool/
…………………………………………………….................…
 Three out of four schemes have already been reported by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, which cited an investigation by 17 European media organizations.  In two cases, Russian assets were mainly transferred through Moldova (known as the Russian Laundromat), with banks in Estonia handling about $2 billion out of a total of $47 billion, according to the Estonian FIU.
  In the third scheme -- the Azeri Laundromat -- companies and state institutions there transferred more than $3.9 billion to non-resident corporate accounts at Estonian banks.  A previous estimate by the OCCRP placed the figure much lower, at $2.9 billion, Reimand said.  Azerbaijan rejects the OCCRP’s report and Danske has declined to comment pending the findings of an ongoing investigation into its Estonian unit.  https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-05-24/bankers-may-have-moved-13-billion-through-baltic-laundromat
…………………………………………………....................…..
The Moldovan bank Moldindconbank received more than $20 billion.
Credit: Ion Preașcă/RISE Moldova
3-20-17    Money entered the Laundromat via a set of shell companies in Russia that exist only on paper and whose ownership cannot be traced.  Some of the funds may have been diverted from the Russian treasury through fraud, rigging of state contracts, or customs and tax evasion.  Money that might have helped repair the country’s deteriorating roads and ports, modernize the health care system, or ease the poverty of senior citizens – was instead deposited in a Moldovan bank.
  At the other end of the Laundromat, money flowed out for luxuries, for rock bands touring Russia, and on a small Polish non-governmental organization that pushed Russia’s agenda in the European Union….
  Organizers created a core of 21 companies based in the United Kingdom (UK), Cyprus and New Zealand and run by hidden owners.  A number of Russian companies then used these companies to move their money out of Russia.
  To get the money out, the scheme’s organizers devised a clever misdirection.  They created a fake debt among some of these core shell companies and then got a Moldovan judge to order the Russian company seeking to launder funds to pay that debt to a court-controlled account. …The system worked well enough to launder some $20.8 billion – which can be seen in a database showing who received the money: …
  Using company records, reporters tracked the names of some clients after executives refused to give them out.  They found the heavy users of the scheme were rich and powerful Russians who had made their fortunes from dealing with the Russian state.  Among them:  Alexey Krapivin, a businessman in the trusted inner circle of Russian President Vladimir Putin; Georgy Gens, a Moscow businessman who owns the Lanit group, one of the major information technology (IT) distributors in Russia, for Apple, Samsung, ASUS and other computer giants; or Sergey Girdin, whose Russian Marvel group is involved in the IT business and who is an important client of the biggest Russian-owned bank.
  Some Laundromat money was funneled to companies owned by Russian citizens abroad, such as Trident International Corp., owned by Pavel Semenovich Flider.  Now a naturalized US citizen, Flider was indicted in 2015 for smuggling stockpiles of US electronics components to Russian defense technology firms….
  Moldovan-Russian cooperation on the investigation seemed off to a good start when in September 2014, a month after OCCRP published its first Laundromat story, Russian investigators Aleksei Shmatkov and Evgenii Volotovskii arrived in Chișinău to meet their Moldovan counterparts.  They bore passports issued with consecutive numbers the day before their arrival, suggesting to the Moldovans they were dealing with secret service agents given credentials just for the meeting.
  They stayed for two days and were accompanied around the Moldovan capital by a Russian embassy representative.  Moldovan investigators say they got no helpful information from the two visitors – or from anyone in Moscow.  https://www.occrp.org/en/laundromat/the-russian-laundromat-exposed/
……………………………………………....................................
2014    A whistleblower contacted senior management in Estonia about the use of the branch by a UK limited liability partnership with alleged links to the family of Russian president Vladimir Putin and Russia’s intelligence services.

2017 MARCH    Danish newspaper Berlingske published first in a series of reports looking at money laundering claims from Russia, Azerbaijan and Moldova against Danske.
2017 JUNE  Promontory, a US consultancy, presented a root-cause analysis to Danske that showed about $30bn in non-resident money passed through the Estonian branch at the scandal’s peak in 2013.       https://www.ft.com/content/519ad6ae-bcd8-11e8-94b2-17176fbf93f5

join ‘the big socialist family," you Uighurs

6-18-18     Those in detention are said to “have not been through systematic education; their level of knowledge is low, their manner of thought naive and prejudiced, shortsighted, delusional and conceited; they are unable to distinguish right and wrong, beautiful and ugly, good and evil; they lack their own views and emotions, blindly following others and easily accepting of illegal religious activities and the reactionary propaganda of ethnic splittist ideology.”[30]

Therefore, of course, “the vast majority are lured or forced into involvement in violent terrorist activities.” They’re thus invited, through participation in Maoist-inspired rituals like singing red songs, small group sessions, self-confession, and repentance, to join ‘the big socialist family’ (社会主义大家庭).

16 repetitions by Kav in answer to 30 questions on nationwide Fox News; BIG PHARMA

                        16 repetitions by Kav in answer to 30 questions on nationwide Fox News
9-25-18          
1) MARTHA MACCALLUM for Fox News: Thank you both for sitting down with me today. What made you decide to speak out before the hearing on Thursday? Judge Kavanaugh?
BRETT KAVANAUGH: I am looking for a fair process, a process where I can defend my integrity and clear my name. And all I’m asking for is fairness and that I’d be heard in this process. 1
MACCALLUM: Ashley, what has this been like for you the past couple of weeks? I know you’ve had death threats and all kinds of things coming your way. What – how does that feel?
ASHLEY ESTES KAVANAUGH: This process is incredibly difficult. It’s harder than we imagined, and we imagined it might be hard. But at the end of the day, our faith is strong and we know that we’re on the right path. And we’re just going to stick to it, so.
2) MACCALLUM: So let me – let’s get in to some of these allegations, because you’ve responded to them in statements, but you haven’t had a chance to respond them – to them in a fuller way.
And Christine Ford is expected to testify on Thursday, that you at a party in high school pinned her to a bed, held your hand over her mouth. She said she was afraid that she could inadvertently be killed at that moment.
She said that you tried to take off her clothes, and she believes that you would’ve raped her if Mark Judge hadn’t climbed on top and everyone tumbled to the floor. And then she had an opportunity to get away.
Now, she doesn’t remember the date and she doesn’t remember the place. But what she does remember that I just detailed, is very specific.
And other assault victims say that they’ve had similar memories where they remembered exactly what happened but they didn’t necessarily remember the events surrounding it. You have categorically denied that this happened. Did anything happen?
KAVANAUGH: No. I had never sexually assaulted anyone, not in high school, not ever. I’ve always treated women with dignity and respect.
Listen to the people who’ve known me best through my whole life, the women who have known me since high school, the 65 who overnight signed a letter from high school saying I always treated them with dignity and respect. Listen to the people who have known me best for my whole life, the women who have known me since high school, the 65 who overnight signed a letter, from high school, saying I always treated them with dignity and respect.
3) This Christine Ford, do you know her?
KAVANAUGH: I may have met her, we did not travel in the same social circle, she was not a friend, not someone I knew –
4) MACCALLUM: You don’t remember ever being at parties with her ever?
KAVANAUGH: I do not. And this is an allegation about a party in the summer of 1982 at a house near Connecticut Avenue and East West highway with five people present.
I was never at any such party. The other people who are alleged to be present have said they do not remember any such party. A woman who was present, another woman who was present who is Dr. Ford’s lifelong friend –
MACCALLUM: Leland –
KAVANAUGH: Has said she doesn’t know me and never remembers being at a party with me at any time in her life. All I’m asking for is a fair process where I can be heard. 2
5) MACCALLUM: And to this date, no one has corroborated the story that she has told. As you accurately point out, but is there – so there’s no chance that there was something between the two of you that maybe she misunderstood the exchange that you had? Nothing ever physical, you never met her, never kissed her, never touched her, nothing that you remember?
KAVANAUGH: Correct. I – I never had any sexual or physical activity with Dr. Ford. I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone in high school or otherwise –
6) MACCALLUM: So, where do you think this is coming from? Why would she make this up?
KAVANAUGH: What I know is the truth. And the truth is, I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone in high school or otherwise. I am not questioning and have not questioned, that perhaps Dr. Ford at some point in her life was sexually assaulted by someone in some place. But what I know is I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone in high school or at any time in my life –
7) MACCALLUM: So, when she says there’s no doubt in her mind that it was you, because she was asked that. Is it possible that you maybe confused him, maybe it’s a mistaken identity, maybe it was someone else. She said absolutely not.
KAVANAUGH: I have never sexually assaulted anyone. I was not at the party described. I was not anywhere at any place resembling that in the summer of 1982. The other people alleged to be there don’t say anything like that. And the woman who’s alleged to be there, who’s her friend, says that she doesn’t know me and doesn’t recall ever being at a party with me in her life.
MACCALLUM: Let me ask Ashley, when this came out what did you say to your husband? Did you question him and have moments where you wondered if he was telling you the truth?
ASHLEY ESTES KAVANAUGH: No. I mean, I know Brett. I’ve know him for 17 years. And this is not at all character – it’s really hard to believe. He’s decent, he’s kind, he’s good. I know his heart. This is not consistent with – with Brett.
8) MACCALLUM: And now over the weekend you’ve gotten new allegations. And obviously these other allegations, they say that they are standing up basically in support of Christine Ford, that they wouldn’t have come forward otherwise, but they don’t want her to be made to look like a liar. And Deborah Ramirez was a freshman at Yale. She say’s she was at a dorm party and this happened: quote, “Brett was laughing, I can still see his face and his hips coming forward like when you pull up your pants. I’m confident about the pants coming up, and I’m confident about Brett being there.”
She was initially uncertain it was you, they write in this piece, but after six days she’s confident enough, she says. Should the American people view her as credible?
KAVANAUGH: I never did any such thing – never did any such thing. The other people alleged to be there, don’t recall any such thing. If such as thing had a happened, it would’ve been the talk of campus. The women I knew in college and the men I knew in college said that it’s unconceivable that I could’ve done such a thing.
And The New York Times has reported that just last week the person making the accusation was calling other classmates saying she was not sure that I had done this. Again – again, just asking for a fair process where I can be heard and I can defend my integrity. 3
9) MACCALLUM: As you say, other Yale classmates were asked by her if they recall the incident, and told some of them that she couldn’t be certain that Mr. Kavanaugh was the one who exposed himself. So she appears to be expressing some uncertainly. Given the doubts, are you surprised that the New Yorker published this account?
KAVANAUGH: I’m not going to comment on the New Yorker’s journalistic practices. The New York Times said they could not corroborate this story and said that the person making the accusation had been calling around last week to other classmates, indicating her uncertainty about whether I had ever done such a thing.
Again, I’m just asking for a fair process where I can be heard and defend my integrity and defend my family’s integrity. 4
10) MACCALLUM: It was one roommate – I think his last name of Roche – who said, you know, that he could see this kind of thing happening, that you drank a lot in high school, drank a lot in college. And although he hadn’t seen or heard this incident himself, that it added up to him, that – that it made sense that you treated women that way.
KAVANAUGH: I’ve always treated women with dignity and respect. He does not corroborate the incident at all. The incident did not happen.
11) MACCALLUM: You remember him? He was your roommate?
KAVANAUGH: I do remember him.
12) MACCALLUM: So why do you think he would say that?
KAVANAUGH: What I know – I’m not going to speculate about motives. I know I never did that. If I had done that, it would’ve been the talk of campus, and we have the reports saying that, even as late as the few weeks, she was calling around and not certain.
What I know is I’ve always treated women with dignity and respect. Listen to the women who’ve known me my whole life. A letter from friends I knew in high school, produced overnight, 65 women who knew me in high school, women I knew in college who said how I much I support their women athletics, their letter and their goals.
When I worked in the Bush White House, 84 women signed a letter saying that, in the pressurized environment of the West Wing, I always treated them with equality and promoted women’s advancement –
13) MACCALLUM: We’ve heard from them, and we’ve spoken to a couple of those women on our show, who signed that original letter, who stuck up for you unequivocally, that is absolutely true. But now you’ve got more allegations.
So you’ve got this sort of – attempt to kind of swarm a number of people who are at least putting at least enough doubt out there, so that this process will be stymied, so that it will take longer and so that they will get the investigation that they’re looking for.
Michael Avenatti says that he has “significant evidence”, and another accuser, who claims that you and Mark Judge, at “multiple house parties in the Washington, D.C., area during the 1980s,” would “participate in the targeting of women with alcohol and drugs to allow a ‘train’ of men to subsequently gang-rape them.”
“There are multiple witnesses that will corroborate these facts, and each of them must be called to testify publicly.”
Did you ever participate in or where you ever aware of any gang-rape that happened at a party that you attended?
KAVANAUGH: That’s totally false and outrageous. I’ve never done any such thing, known about any such thing. When I was in high school – and I went to an all-boys Catholic high school, a Jesuit high school, where I was focused on academics and athletics, going to church every Sunday at Little Flower, working on my service projects, and friendship, friendship with my fellow classmates and friendship with girls from the local all-girls Catholic schools.
And yes, there were parties. And the drinking age was 18, and yes, the seniors were legal and had beer there. And yes, people might have had too many beers on occasion and people generally in high school – I think all of us have probably done things we look back on in high school. But that’s not what we’re talking about.
We’re talking about an allegation of sexual assault. I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone. I did not have sexual intercourse or anything close to sexual intercourse in high school or for many years there after. And the girls from the schools I went to and I were friends –
14) MACCALLUM: So you’re saying that through all these years that are in question, you were a virgin?
KAVANAUGH: That’s correct.
MACCALLUM: Never had sexual intercourse with anyone in high school?
KAVANAUGH: Correct.
15) MACCALLUM: And through what years in college since we’re probing into your personally life here?
KAVANAUGH: Many years after. I’ll leave it at that. Many years after. And this – the people I went to high school with, the girls and the boys, now men and women, that I went to high school with, you know, I was good friends with them and we remain good friends. That’s how 65 people on a moments notice – 65 women – 220 people total, men and women, who knew me in high school.
And I would say, I will say fair process, let me be heard, fair process, hear from both sides, and listen to me and the facts I’ve described 5 and listen to the people who have known me throughout my life, the men and women, the women who’ve known me throughout my life, who’ve known me best.
And in my job as a judge for 12 years I’ve been promoting women’s equality. There was a problem with women law clerks getting hired at the Supreme Court. I am the leading federal judge in the country – the leader in the entire country of promoting women law clerks to get Supreme Court clerkships. For the last seven years, I’ve been coaching girl’s basketball. Ask the moms.
16) MacCallum: So what do you think is happening? What’s happening?
KAVANAUGH: I don’t know, but I want a fair process where I can defend my integrity. And I know I’m telling the truth. I know my life-long record, and I’m not going to let false accusations drive me out of this process. I have faith in God, and I have faith in the fairness of the American people. America’s about fairness and hearing from both sides. 6 And I didn’t do this or anything resembling this. These are – this is wrong.
17) MacCallum: Sir, you are going to be pressed on something that you just said about people do things in high school, and you were all drinking, were there times when perhaps you drank so much – was there ever a time that you drank so much that you couldn’t remember what happened the night before?
KAVANAUGH: No, that never happened.
18) MACCALLUM: You never said to anyone, “I don’t remember anything about last night.”
KAVANAUGH: No, that did not happen.
19) MACCALLUM: Did you ever have any sense that any kind of – the description of the behavior that I just described, with these women being taken into rooms and raped or having sex with a number of men, consensual or otherwise, that that was going on at the parties that you were at?
KAVANAUGH: I never saw any such thing, any such thing. I certainly never participated in any such thing – but I never saw or heard of any such thing. And we were – I was focused on trying to be number one in my class and being captain of the varsity basketball team and doing my service projects, going to church.
The vast majority of the time I spent in high school was studying or focused on sports and being a good friend to the boys and the girls that I was friends with. We have these great, life-long friendships that are fantastic, and supporting each other through the ups and downs of life, and, you know, they’re an awesome group of people.
MACCALLUM: So Ashley, when you hear women say that they’ve repressed a memory that they’ve been struggling with their whole life, they never wanted to say anything, they were embarrassed to even tell their parents or their friends what had happened, but years later in this situation, Christine Ford says, you know, “I felt that I wanted to submit what I knew about Brett Kavanaugh into his file because I did hear that we was up for this very important position and I wanted to make sure that my story was in there. I didn’t want to come forward, but I wanted to make sure that they had that information,” because she felt it was really important that they know.
ASHLEY ESTES KAVANAUGH: I truly – I don’t understand it. I know Brett. I know who he is.
MACCALLUM: But do you sympathize with the idea that some women would suppress a memory or wouldn’t want to share it or would not be able to talk about it until many years later?
ASHLEY ESTES KAVANAUGH: I don’t know what happened to her, and I don’t even want to go there. I feel badly for her family. I feel badly for her through this process. This process is not right.
20) MACCALLUM: Do you believe there should be an FBI investigation into these allegations and that a pause should happen and, you know, sort it all out? If there’s nothing to worry about and nothing to hide, why not have that process, Ashley? And then I’ll ask you that, Brett.
KAVANAUGH: I mean, I’ve said all along and Ashley, too, I want to be heard. 7 I was first interviewed last Monday, the day after the allegation appeared by the committee staff under penalty of felony, and I denied this categorically and unequivocally and I said twice during that, I said, “I want a hearing tomorrow,” last Tuesday, a week ago.
I want an opportunity – a fair process. America’s about fairness, I want a fair process where I can defend my integrity and clear my name 8 as quickly as I can in whatever forum the Senate deems appropriate.
21) MACCALLUM: When you hear senators who are on the committee – Senator Mazie Hirono and then you hear from others, you know, the New York Senator Gillibrand, she says, “I believe it. I believe this woman. I believe all of them. They’re credible, and we all have to believe them.”
When you hear United States Senators who are making judgments, final judgments, what does that make you think about the presumption of innocence in this country?
22) KAVANAUGH: In America, we have fairness. We hear from both sides.9 I’ve spent my life in the judiciary, the – our judicial system, and part of the judicial systems as I’ve said during my first – my hearing was process protection. That’s what judges believe that’s what our system was built on, the rule of law, about fair process.10
23) MACCALLUM: Do you feel unprotected by the process?
KAVANAUGH: Fair process means hearing from both sides, 11 and I think the process – I want to have an opportunity to defend my integrity and clear my name and have a fair process.12 A fair process at a minimum – at a bare minimum – requires hearing from both sides before rushing to judgement.
24) MACCALLUM: Right. Let me ask you this. Separately from these allegations, is it fair to judge someone on something they did before they were 18 years old? When they were 17 years old, should anything they did then follow them later in life or should it enter into any decisions made about them later in life?
KAVANAUGH: What I’m here to do is tell you the truth, and this allegation from 36 years ago is not –
25)  MACCALLUM: But separately from what you’re being accused of, just as a judge, if you were looking at this case as a part of what you’re going through and someone said, “This person did that at 17 years old,” is it fair to judge them on something that when they’re in their 50s, 60s?
KAVANAUGH: I think everyone is judged on their whole life. I’m a good person. I’ve led a good life. I’ve tried to a lot of good for a lot of people. I am not perfect, I know that. None of us is perfect. I’m not perfect, but I’ve never, never done anything like this.
26) MACCALLUM: So in terms of the process now and what happens now, when you look at how all of this – where all this generated from, do you have thoughts? Is this about Roe v. Wade? Is this about people who initially right off the bat, said they wanted to see you never take the spot on the Supreme Court? Where’s all this coming from?
KAVANAUGH: I just want a fair process where I can be heard.13
27) MACCALLUM: You don’t have any thoughts on what’s generating – where this is coming from?
KAVANAUGH: I just want a fair process where I can be heard, defend my integrity, defend the integrity of my family. 14I’ve – I’m telling the truth.
28) MACCALLUM: You don’t want to talk about where you think this is coming from?
KAVANAUGH: I just want an opportunity, a fair process where I can defend my integrity.15
MACCALLUM: Ashley how’s this spin for the girls, for your family? What have you guys – give us whatever window you feel comfortable saying about what this has been like for you as a family?
ASHLEY ESTES KAVANAUGH: This – it’s very difficult. It’s very difficult to have these conversations with your children, which we’ve had to have – some broader terms for our youngest. But they know Brett. And they know the truth. And we told them at the very beginning of this process this will be not fun sometimes. You’re going to hear things that, people feel strongly, and you need to know that. And just remember, you know your dad.
29) MACCALLUM: Did you guys ever look at each other and say “I’m out, this is enough. This just isn’t worth it”?
KAVANAUGH: I’m not going to let false accusations drive us out of this process. And we’re looking for a fair process where I can be heard and defend the – my integrity, my life long record 16 – my life-long record of promoting dignity and equality for women, starting with the woman who knew me when I was 14 years old. I’m not going anywhere.
30) MACCALLUM: Do you believe that President Trump is going to stand by you throughout?
KAVANAUGH: I know he’s going to stand by me. He called me this afternoon, and he said he’s standing by me.
MACCALLUM: All right. Thank you both very much. Good to speak with you today. Thanks for taking the time.

  Judge Kavanaugh repeatedly pointed to his personal calendar from the summer of 1982 as evidence that he “all but definitively” was not there.  He said it showed he was out of town nearly every weekend and too busy during the week to go to parties.
However, Judge Kavanaugh’s calendar entries show at least two weekend parties and one social gathering during the week.  On July 1, a Thursday, he noted plans to go to “Timmy’s for skis,” slang for drinking beers, with three of the people Dr. Blasey said were at the gathering where she said the alleged assault occurred.

  Mr. Judge’s 1997 memoir talks about his struggles with alcohol during high school and suggests that his group of friends frequently drank during the week in the summer of 1982.  “It was the summer before senior year, and by now, even though I wasn’t drinking every day, I was completely hooked,” he said.  “Going a week without getting drunk was unthinkable.  I was spending between four and seven nights with the gang, either at a party or at O’Rourke’s.”    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/09/28/us/politics/kavanaugh-ford-testimony-investigation.html

“Much of what the drug industry does fulfills the criteria for organized crime in US law"

10-13-09   America spends about $2.5 trillion on health care annually -- including $315 billion in Big Pharma revenues last year.  They must be secretly exploring the untapped market in illicit drug traffic that siphons off an estimated $400 billion annually -- plus keep in mind another $175 billion on alcohol addiction.   https://www.marketwatch.com/story/end-the-war-on-drugs-start-the-legalization-2009-10-13

Lynne Brookes on her Yale relations with Kavanaugh

9-28-18   Ramirez’s own roommate has spoken out, telling CNN’s Chris Cuomo Thursday that she is “extremely disappointed” in the judge’s “blatant lying.”  In a phone call Lynne Brookes said:
  “I watched the whole hearing, and a number of my Yale colleagues and I were extremely disappointed in Brett Kavanaugh’s characterization of himself and the way that he evaded his excessive drinking questions.  There is no doubt in my mind that while at Yale, he was a big partier, often drank to excess, and there had to be a number of nights where he does not remember.  In fact, I would witness to the night that he got tapped into that fraternity, and he was stumbling drunk in a ridiculous costume saying really dumb things.  I can almost guarantee that there’s no way that he remembers that night … There were a lot of emails and a lot of texts flying around about how he was lying to the Senate Judiciary Committee today.”
  Brookes added that she and Liz Swisher, another classmate who said she was shocked by Kavanaugh’s denials of heavy drinking in his Fox interview, both played sports in college and routinely partied with Kavanaugh on Saturday nights. Brookes denounced Kavanaugh’s tactic at the hearing of evading questions and “trying to turn the question around to, ‘But I studied really hard.’  Well you know what?  I studied hard too.  I went to Wharton Business School.  I did very well at Yale.  I also drank to excess many nights with Brett Kavanaugh.  The two things are not mutually exclusive.”
  When asked about Chris Dudley, the former NBA player and friend of Kavanaugh’s who said “he never even close to blacked out” at Yale, Brookes described a party she remembers at which both men were very drunk.  “They thought it would be really funny to barge into a room where a guy and a girl had gone off together, and embarrass that woman … The girl was mortified, and I was furious.”      https://www.thecut.com/2018/09/another-yale-classmate-extremely-disappointed-by-kavanaugh.html

and the mighty Kremlin says; inssanity on trial, or, where is Baltimore?

  Asked about the Bellingcat report on a regular conference call with reporters on Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: "Many people look alike, but I cannot tell you who this citizen who was pointed out in this investigation is."  https://themoscowtimes.com/news/kremlin-on-skripal-suspect-identification-many-people-look-alike-63018

Perhaps one could call up the GRU for info.  The name is GRU Col....The man named by Bellingcat, Anatoly Chepiga, has been designated a Hero of the Russian Federation, one of Russia's highest honors, according to the website of the military academy he attended and photographs of a memorial on which his name is inscribed.  "We will check the lists of honorees," Peskov said.    Thanks, dude, that might help, over.

4-12-17            On April 12th, 2015, a 25-year-old black man from the west side of Baltimore named Freddie Gray was arrested for possession of a “switchblade,”....
  Freddie Gray became a national news story thanks to a man named Kevin Moore, who filmed the last few minutes of Gray’s arrest. After giving a copy of the video to investigators, Moore uploaded the footage online and it quickly went viral. It showed Gray being held face down on the sidewalk by officers Garrett Miller and Edward Nero, screaming in pain. His ankles were crossed and his knees bent, with Miller’s weight pushing his heels in his rear, a police hold known as a leg lace.
   While Moore’s video was shown in court at the police officers’ trials, he was never called to testify. Neither were any of the dozen-plus residents who witnessed Gray’s arrest that morning, despite many of them giving damning interviews to the media under their own names. Some of these witnesses were interviewed by detectives, but their accounts – of Taser use, of seeing an officer put his knee in Gray’s neck, of Freddie crying out that they were hurting his back and his legs – were dismissed by both the police and prosecutors. Other officers who were present during the arrest, but weren’t charged, testified that Gray   was only trying to attract attention, but witnesses maintain his screams were real....
“You can hear him making noise, like, he’s in pain,” Jackson said in an interview for our fourth episode. “It was just sad.… I told them, “What are y’all doing to that young man?” They told me I needed to mind my M-Fing business.” The Baltimore Police Department’s Force Investigation Team failed to follow standard protocols around interviewing witnesses and evidence collection in the immediate aftermath of Gray’s injury . For instance, Officer Zachary Novak – who both loaded Gray into the van and found him unconscious later that morning – was given power over evidence collection, interviewing witnesses, and writing reports on day one.  As a major witness, Novak’s had a conflict of interest and he should not have been given investigatory powers.  He later received immunity from prosecution.   https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/death-of-freddie-gray-5-things-you-didnt-know-129327/#comment-3554054182

Not what might be but what will be because man envisions, invokes and equates with universal Law

  Not what might be but what will be because man envisions, invokes and equates with universal Law….
  The primary deterrents to precipitation should be recognized as (1) inharmony in the feeling world, (2) a sense of loneliness or abandonment, and (3) a sense of smallness or insecurity and doubt.…let us recognize that the word ”altar” signifies a sacred place of change.  Here all change is wrought by God’s Law.  His Law does not exist without love….The mechanical aspects of the Law are often combined with trickery to produce phenomena which in the eyes of God are meaningless.  Once a man has attained the position of a true spiritual adept he has developed the powers of love and wisdom within the framework of universal Law.  He is innocent of harm to any and his alchemical feats reflect his selflessness. …

  So now as we face the altar, the place consecrated to the science of wondrous change, we must recognize the two courses before us.  The first is to choose a course of action based on the highest knowledge made known to us.  We decide what we wish to change, we decide why it needs to change.  This gives motive power to our alchemical experiment….the second course of action is to be aware that right change can be produced without conscious knowledge of what that change out to be.  We simply invoke from God the purity of His divine plan for right change.            -Saint Germain:  Pearls of Wisdom 13:10

Kav "more Mr. Hyde than Dr. Jekyll, at least when sloshed." -Laurence Tribe, 9-24 tweet

This paints a vastly different picture of Brett Kavanaugh as a Yale freshman than the Eagle Scout picture the judge conveyed on FOX. More Mr. Hyde than Dr. Jekyll, at least when sloshed. -twitter.com

James Roche, who shared a two-bedroom unit with Kavanaugh on Yale campus, said Monday while the pair did not socialize together, they spoke in their home, and Roche would see Kavanaugh return from nights out with his friends. 
"It is from this experience that I concluded that although Brett was normally reserved, he was notably a heavy drinker, even by the standards of the time, and that he became aggressive and belligerent when he was very drunk," Roche, now a software company CEO based in San Francisco, told one of ABC's California affiliates before circulating a statement on Twitter.
"I did not observe the specific incident in question (Ramirez), but I do remember Brett frequently drinking excessively and becoming incoherently drunk," he said. 
"Based on my time with Debbie, I believe her to be unusually honest and straightforward, and I cannot imagine her making this up," Roche added.  "Based on my time with Brett, I believe that he and his social circle were capable of the actions that Debbie described."   https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/kavanaugh-became-aggressive-belligerent-when-drinking-says-yale-freshman-roommate
