DID THE OTHER PEOPLE ON THE TRUMP CONFESSION TAPE FLIP ON HIM ... ?! ... !? ...

Jun 29, 2023 - WEDNESDAY COUNTDOWN PODCAST: HAVE THE OTHER TWO PEOPLE ON THE TRUMP CONFESSION TAPE, FLIPPED?

-Reportedly they are Mark Meadows' book publishers;

-After a flurry of newspaper publicity and a Tucker Carlson appearance in June 2021 they have not been in the public eye since the day they were at Bedminster and he showed them the secret Iran doc and confessed as he did so;

-Will they testify against Trump? Is it THEIR copy of the recording?

-And why have we all treated the Confession Tape as if it's just a recording? There are four, maybe five witnesses and two of them don't work for Trump 

-Trump panics: changes his story of the Confession Tape three times on Tuesday alone, ending at "it was just bravado" on his part and the only plans he had were building plans. Golf course building plans. For that secret Atomic Ballwasher the Pentagon made for him, I guess

-Also Walt Nauta wasn't arraigned because his choice for Florida lawyer jacked up the price on him

-But Rudy Giuliani has pre-testified in an interview with Jack Smith's staff

Jun 21, 2023 - KTLA 5 - A Canadian military surveillance aircraft has detected underwater noises as a massive search continued early Wednesday in a remote part of the North Atlantic for a submersible that vanished while taking five people down to the wreck of the Titanic.

A statement from the U.S. Coast Guard did not elaborate on what rescuers believed the noises could be, though it offered a glimmer of hope for those lost abroad the Titan as estimates suggest as little as a day's worth of oxygen could be left if the vessel is still functioning.

Meanwhile, questions remain about how teams could reach the lost submersible, which could be as deep as about 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) below the surface near the watery tomb of the historic ocean liner.

Lost aboard the vessel are pilot Stockton Rush, the CEO of the company leading the expedition. His passengers are a British adventurer, two members of a Pakistani business family and a Titanic expert.

Sub Brief's Aaron Amick reviews the ongoing Oceangate Expedition's Titan Tragedy

Jun 20, 2023 - Sub Brief: Aaron Amick (video play time 20:44) - (Transcript) "Oceangate Expedition lost communication with its deep diving 5-person submarine on June 18th 2023 while transiting submerged to the Titanic wreck site. 5 people onboard were: Stockton Rush, PH Nargeolet, Shahzada Dawood, Suleman Dawood, and Hamish Harding. 

In this video I (Sub Brief: Aaron Amick) describe the incident in detail. I review the construction, design and system onboard the Titan. I catalog my concerns about the design and operation of this submarine. This video is my personal opinion with the limited information available to me at the time of this recording. A follow up video will be published when more facts from the investigation surface.

Titan is a Cyclops-class manned submersible designed to take five people to depths of 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) for site survey and inspection, research and data collection, film and media production, and deep sea testing of hardware and software. Through the innovative use of modern materials, Titan is lighter in weight and more cost efficient to mobilize than any other deep diving submersible. A combination of ground-breaking engineering and off-the-shelf technology gives Titan a unique advantage over other deep diving subs; the proprietary Real Time Hull Health Monitoring (RTM) systems provides an unparalleled safety feature that assesses the integrity of the hull throughout every dive. The use off-the-shelf components helped to streamline the construction, and makes it simple to operate and replace parts in the field.

Paired with a patented, integrated launch and recovery platform, Titan is easy to operate in varying sea states using a local appropriately sized ship for the project. In coastal waters this means we do not need a large support ship with a crane or A-frame.

Sourced from Oceangate.com and Teledyne interviews with the CEO Stockton Rush.  This video is intended to provide my opinion on this event with the information available to me at the time of recording."   ( more Sub Brief videos @ YouTube.com/ )

Unsealed Trump classified docs indictment reveals ‘deep and problematic’ pattern

Jun 9, 2023 - MSNBC Legal Analyst Charles Coleman joins Andrea Mitchell, Chris Jansing, and Katy Tur following the unsealing of the DOJ’s indictment of former President Donald Trump regarding his handling of classified documents. Coleman says Trump’s handling of classified documents, some of which were found spilled on the floor, is troubling. “A pattern that we saw throughout his entire administration of being entirely cavalier with our nation's most important and precious secrets. And as we go through this indictment, it shows you just how deep and problematic this was, to a criminal level, at a criminal level of criminal liability,” says Coleman. “In addition to the fact that not only was he cavalier with our secrets, he was willing to engage other people with respect to access that they should not have had with respect to the same documents in and of itself.”

Russia claims Ukrainian ‘large-scale offensive’ in southern Donetsk area was unsuccessful

 2:37 am, June 5, 2023 - Source: Meduza

The Russian Defense Ministry has reported that on the morning of June 4, the Ukrainian military launched a large-scale offensive in five areas of the front in the southern Donetsk area. According to the agency, the effort involved six Ukrainian mechanized battalions and two Ukrainian tank battalions. In a statement released Sunday night, the Russian ministry said the Ukrainian military’s goal was to break through Russia’s defenses at what it believed was the most vulnerable section of the front. “The enemy did not achieve its objectives, it was not successful,” the statement concluded. Russia said Ukraine lost more than 250 soldiers, 16 tanks, three infantry fighting vehicles, and 21 armored vehicles in the attempt. The Russian Defense Ministry also said that Russian Army General Staff Chief Valery Gerasimov “was located at one of the forward command posts in this area” during Ukraine’s offensive.

SCOTUS Liberals Team Up With Conservatives To Attack Labor Unions

Jun 1, 2023 - Majority Report - All Things SCOTUS - The Supreme Court ruled on Thursday in favor of a concrete company that wanted to sue a union because a strike cost them money. The 8-1 decision means that companies can now sue unions for damages caused by strikes, even if those damages are not directly caused by the union's actions.

The case involved Glacier Northwest Inc., a concrete company in Washington state. In 2017, truck drivers for Glacier went on strike. The drivers left wet concrete in their trucks, which hardened and rendered the concrete unusable. Glacier sued the union, alleging that the drivers had intentionally damaged the concrete.

The ruling is a major victory for companies and a major setback for unions. The ruling could make it harder for unions to protect workers, and it could make it more difficult for workers to win strikes.

The dissenting judge, Ketanji Brown Jackson, argued that the majority is inserting itself into an assessment of labor disputes that is lawfully the purview of the National Labor Relations Board, and that the court is overstepping here.

Brown also argued that the court is putting the onus on workers and their union, when it is actually incumbent on Glacier, the company, to take steps to negotiate with the union and mitigate their losses.

The ruling is a reminder that the Supreme Court is increasingly hostile to unions. The Court has a conservative majority, and it is likely to continue to issue rulings that make it harder for unions to protect workers.
