  1. Commenters claim that she married a doctor in Munich, Germany. Good for her.

  2. I just saw the twitter status - and one commenter made it understandable for me. The (not very attractive) woman is a matchmaker, she wanted to undermine her self confiidence so she would willingly pay for her services. https://twitter.com/HuameiQ/status/1228442159399022600 - she is now an IP lawyer, she finished her studies in France and is now in Germany. Which would back up the claim in this comment section that she married someone in Munich (a doctor allegedly).

  3.  @TheLetterK81  She is attractive in my opinion. She did not talk much about her career - only that education was a way to get approval from the parents (who had 4 or 5 daughters so that was unusual. That it was tolerated then. They tried for a boy. And she talked about what she wants from a man - educated and respects woman. That blind date guy was something. It is interesting that they have such a shortage of women and still will not get the hints. Dude obviously thought he was a major prize. Well not so much he too has not yet found a woman to dominate over in marriage.

  4. Credit to the ambassador in trying to bring the investigation forward.

  5.  @olouwi  Ahem: her conditions were educated and respects women (considering that video and the comment section - I think she has a much better shot in Germany, if it is true that she married a German doctor. Getting married to a German doctor and in Munich no less isn't inferior - if the guy is nice and treats her well. Parents will calm down when they have the pics with the house and the German car to show to the neighbours. Or if they can visit. Never mind baby pics in dirndl or lederhosn. Extra points for being in a beautiful area and in an economically very strong region. In European countries she is considered an attractive woman (not a beauty as the interviewer says, who btw is less attractive than her), but good looking. And she is not an old bride with 27. Sure if she wants to have kids it would be better biologically to have them before 30 or in her early 30s.

  6. That ambassador knows full well about the foul role that the U.S. government (Reagan!!) played by arming those death squads. The big U.S. government were so afraid the the people could vote in a left leaning government (or stand up against the right wing regime friendly to U.S. business interests) that they would support those terrorists who helped the government to keep the population down. The nuns were inconvenient because they were potential witnesses. people that might get attention in the U.S.

  7. +Obliterated - if a lot of children are interviewed by the same few adults with the SAME manipulative questions .... the overzealous adults (on a crusade to save the children) feel vindicated, it is possible to let bias creep into the interview without bad intention. Of course it starts to become a self-fulfilling prophecy and then the questions become more openly manipulative. When a child answers a question with NO (no we did not take our clothes off) and right at the beginning of the interview you do not ask two more times (sort of are you SURE). First you do not start with that loaded question but with the harmless stuff. And if you think the answer may not be true (child is embarrassed or afraid or confused) you return to it later. Then it is not obvious for the child that it is supposed !! to answer in a certain way. I also think the adults likely exchanged their "findings" and talked to each other about the outrage they helped to uncover. So naturally they influenced each other.

  8. Yes and when management tells engineers to save costs on parts (often tiny amounts of money)

  9. The freedom of the U.S. was not defended in Iraq and is not defended in Afghanistan. - the systems throws insane amounts of money at the contractors. The public has to shame them into even paying for healthcare for the soldiers when the come home wounded in body and soul. - I also read stories that the soldiers have to buy their own kevlar vests etc. - maybe the suppliers do not have enough money to bribe the lawmakers and Congress ?

  10. +Mr Mac NO the did NOT find blood *. They found spots did a very shoody job and CLAIMED it was blood. The investigation was restarted 3 years after, seems they had the car still then. - the outer garment was found in a area that was not accessible. It was found because someone had an accident **. so the dingo dragged the child somewhere and ate it. Who knows where the bones were scattered.

  11. Ever heard of the lone wolf ? (despite the social nature of wolves). And in THAT area they might hunt single anyway, I doubt the area would support a pack. - If the animal is desperate enough it will overcome fear and hunt for the easy prey. - The parents felt that it was safe to have the child in the tent - they were nearby. But the canine sniffed or heard the little one, realized that the adults were not in close proximtiy and made the move.

  12. .....She was released when a piece of Azaria's clothing was found near a dingo lair. .....In early 1986, English tourist David Brett fell to his death from Uluru during an evening climb. Because of the vast size of the rock and the scrubby nature of the surrounding terrain, it was eight days before Brett's remains were discovered, lying below the bluff where he had lost his footing and in an area full of dingo lairs. As police searched the area, looking for missing bones that might have been carried off by dingoes, they discovered a small item of clothing. source Wikipedia

  13. * The prosecution had successfully argued that the pivotal haemoglobin tests indicated the presence of foetal haemoglobin in the Chamberlains' car and it was a significant factor in the original conviction. But it was later shown that these tests were highly unreliable and that similar tests, conducted on a "sound deadener" sprayed on during the manufacture of the car, had yielded virtually identical results. source Wikipedia

  15.  São João do mundo  Yup a doctor in Munich (in absence of all other information) counts for a simp. I hope the guy is nice - the material conditions are certainly good, and she lives in a rich city. That is also very attractive for tourists, the whole region is.

  18. Clinton was very active to help with outsourcing. And the helped to remove a safety stops for the banks and big finance. Like Greenspan libertarian ideologue said about Clinton: He was a good conservative. (or Republican - I would say he was a Republican).

  19. They did something like that in England, there was an IRA bombing and Law Enforcement had to "deliver". Grave miscarriage of justice. see Guildford Four resp. Maguire Seven - the prosecution was not necessarily to find the perpetrators (they knew the battle with the IRA would go on) but to produce convictions. And they lied and cheated for that. In that case they started out with implicating 4 people, with enforced confessions 7 innocent people got entangled in the web of "Law" enforcement. Incl. Labs falsifying evidence and the police suppressing an alibi.

  20. +Ajay ..... turned out pretty well for the U.S. ? you mean like the Iraq war which Bolton enthusiastically supported ? - and make no mistake a war in Iran would be much worse But bolton has never met a war (where others have to go and do the fighting) which he did not like. He enlisted with the National Guard to avoid the draft for Vietnam. He did not want to die in a paddy rice field, he said. But he no doubt knows when to buy shares and place bets.

  21. MINDBOGGLING video - Many of the cartel leaders in central America are former (current ? ) very well trained RICH CIA assets. About the extreme violance that was seeded by the U.S. and how that plays out in the current migrant situation at the Mexican border See: video: As Mike Pence Visits Guatemala, Jennifer Harbury Discusses the U.S. Role in the Refugee Crisis youtube(dot) com/watch?v=fjp2q0xipFM The U.S. unleashed a slaughter in Guatemala (200,000 people killed), El Salvado. the death squads well trained in military operation, intelligence and torture went out of a job after that regime change operation was over. Most had been involved in drug trade anyway. So they continued to do that. All over the region (Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico). That's the reason they flee.

  23.  @chiknj23  the whole of the U.S. takes a ride on the economy of other countries. Petro dollar. Look at the export / import imbalance. There goes your smug notion of "self-sufficiency". if you are a citizen or resident of the U.S. you can forget about that, you participate (and likely are one of the not so large segment that profits from that system. - or they pay you to troll for them.

  24. Systemic riks in complex organizations with HIGH risks - Not only Challenger or Columbia launches. Further examples: Fukushima or Three Mile Island. Then of course Tchernobyl. or Windscale with a luckier ending. Those who know best would have ignored the engineers but the winner of the Nobel Prize Lord Cockroft continued to have objections. The chimney with the filters that were added later looked like a minarett - the locals coined the term Cockroft's folly for them. (They did not know that material for a nuclear bomb was to be produced there). That "folly" saved the day when the fire of which enineers had warned actually broke out. And then of course several incidents in German nuclear power plants and in Sweden. Nothing really bad happened, but they show the potential of how human "ingenuity "and hierarchy !! and being unaware of systemic risks effortlessly neuter whole handbooks on procedures and safety rules.

  25.  @chiknj23  you and the billionaires and millionaires you identify with, live off the dime of the people who are not paid enough for their work. from 1947 - 1970 productivity and wages rose (almost) in lockstep. That meant purchasing power of average wages DOUBLED in the U.S. - and it was similar in the other now wealthy states. The Golden Era, Economic Mircale, the Building of the American Middle Class - these are the names for that era. ad they just taken the federa minimum wage then and adjusted it for inflation the federa minimum wage would not be 7,25 USD but 12. had they continued to increase it according to productivity gains (as they did for 23 years) it would be around 20 USD (stats is a few years old - you get the idea). in the 70s ongoing immigration, compter use, ongoing research and automation and the women joining the workforce increase the workforce while demand for work hours slowly went down (also because of saturation of consumer demand). And with the oil crises in the 70s there was a sharp drop. The first major global crises in decades triggered longer and higer unemployment. Finally the 1 % (and people like you) were able to hit back against good wages and high taxation for rich and profitable businesses. Presidential debate in 1960 JFK / Nixon. They spoke also about an EFFECTIVE highest top marginal income tax rate of 72 %. JFK brought it up. To replace the 90 % in the books that were introduced in the 1940s, were paid after the war but had been hollowed out by many exemptions. That was debated in a very matter of fact manner.

  26. Obama (Republican Lite at, neoliberal !) had sold out already during the elections to Wallstreet (the banksters were afraid of criminal prosecution for a short time - they sensed the pitchfork mood, they knew Hillary Clinton OR McCain would aid and abet them - but what about the new kid on the block ? And he could win. - Well luckily he was open to be bribed. - He talked a good game, to be sure. Then he sold out the citizens regarding healthcare (with the help of the Big Donations chasing Democrats).

  28.  @PeopleHealthTru  Mothers do NOT "need" to respecet nor love the father. feelings change and no human is entitled to "respect". Respect is something a partner (or anyone else) EARNS. Never mind that divorces happen even between partners that respect each other, the partners are or can return to a state of friendship and reasonable cooperation. But they have developed apart and do not want to be stuck with the other person till death do us part. Which meant a much shorter time when that phrase was created and it was another time and economy. It is not as if the marriages were happy (and beneficial for the emotional wellbeing of the children) a few generations back just because it was unusual to have a divorce and the parents were stuck in the marriages. It does not do any good to the children to watch their parents suffer through an unhappy, unsatisfying marriage. What is important for society: that the children are raised well - and that should NOT depend on the emontional relationship between ONE man and wife - or the economic fate of that family (or the ability of the man to make a high enough income). Other wealthy nations have out of wedlock births as well and a rate of divorces almost as high as the U.S. The losses of WW2 left plenty of widows who raised children without a man in the home - at least not the father of the children - so no wailing about the woes of the absent fathers. A committed father is certainly better than having none - but the children will survive and in these days one cannot force men or women to stay in a relationship. There are plenty of children born outside of marriage in Germany, Austria, France Netherlands for instance - the majority ! - except for the more conservative part of society - Muslim, devoted Catholics, maybe some farmers (who tend to be more conservative). The other folks thave their children FIRST. If they are still together when the child starts school (or kindergarden with 4 or 5) - that is often the time the parents feel compelled to "make it legal". Parents of children are more hesistant to break up - it does not matter if they are married or not. Seems like the children make them more committed to the relationship. There is NO reason THAT must undermine the web of society. But in these societies they have an automatic child allowance (everyone gets it, that is not welfare). And then programs for low income persons and families. Which in many cases will be single parents. Sure a divorce is not fun for But they DO not selfrighteously try to determine HOW other people have to live. The children need to be well taken care of - or they will not become productive and reliable members of society. Supporting them cannot be left to the mothers alone nor can it be left to the fathers. Nor is it desireable that a mother would have to work plus 40 hours, is not able to afford the rent in a safe area. She will be exhausted instead of taking care of the children and in a bad neighbourhoods there are many dangers for unsupervised children and teenagers. It takes a village to raise a child - that is a law of evolution, the little ones and their mothers were precious for the tribe. When did that principle become obsolete ? They didn't do core family, everyone is on their own during human evolution. They females did the work together and the whole bunch of children was with them while the men often hunten in groups as well. So it was shared work and shared "income". We do not live as hunter gatheres anymore, we live in anonymous settings often a long way from relatives. So a more anonymous community must step up to compensate for the "village".

  29. There was a lot of destruction. And the town was as good as taken over !! Bombing: no one bats an eye. Alleged chemical attacks: War is discussed and (the real purpose it derails peace talks, and maybe gives the Western supported jihadist some breathing space).

  30. There were trees (an alley) with holes resulting from the shots. In videos laser pointers were directed through the holes - directly at a building that allegedly was held by the protesters - in which case it would have been an action to incite chaos (I take it that 4 policemen and 48 protesters were killed. - Would make sense in case that was an U.S. supported coup. A genuine resistance would not shoot their own people in large numbers). Needless to say the trees were cut down in the days after the coup. so the promised investigation was a FARCE. - Interestingly NOW they come up with a forensic investigation.

  31. My thinking exactely: she should get herself a man from another culture. her feature and body type fit well with caucasians, I think she is a nice looking woman. Not a beauty (in real life most people are not that handsome) - but good looking. I wonder how she looks in a dirndl ? (folclore costume).

  32. Chinese define the consequences of misogynistic culture and birth policy = too many men with the term "leftover women". Chinese might be fast learners in some respects. But not in this.

  33. Chlorine works against Sarin (Chlorine is so active that it bonds to Sarin immediately) - it weakens the effect considerably. Never mind that Syria gave up their Sarin stocks in September 2013. Military grade Sarin can be discerned from "improvised" batches (less effective, more impurities, other chemicals to stabilize it, it has a "fingerprint"). Meaning IF the U.S. actually had blood samples with Sarin (in the alleged spring 2018 event) they would have had them analyzed - likely in the U.K. to find out the fingerprint - and than make educated guesses. We have not heard much of that anymore ..... and the Trump admin is not famous for being thruthful (the mouthipieces under Obama were sleek liars too- resp. they were good in giving non-answers and weaseling out) In August 2013 Obama blamed the attack immediately on the Syrian government, even though it happened in a combat zone, both sides could have done it, and no neutral observers were there. Admitted the Syrian government had declared Sarin stocks, and Sarin is not easily to get or fabricate. BUT the secret services of the West had worrying intelligence in that year that groups of "moderate" terrorists made efforts to get their hands on Sarin (or the components and make their own). It was clear within very short time that indeed Sarin had been released. The laboratory in Portond Down, England analyzed the samples- and informed Obama that the Sarin used in that attack DID NOT MATCH the stocks of military grade Sarin of the Syrian government. It could have well been a rouge attempt by the jihadists (which also made sense politically and militarily, they could hope to draw in the U.S. more - they were losing). Ray McGovern: Putin helped Obama out of the mousetrap regarding "red line" and the U.S. starting open war against Syria. So the samples of blood (maybe tissue or urine) showing traces of both substances ??? Not plausible. One claim of the U.S. government - we have blood samples with traces of chorine and Sarin ...and then we hear no more of it .... even though they CAN find out the fingerprint of Sarin and that can give valuable hints. Not plausible.

  35.  Wilson  they will have the children anyway. Including married women who get divorced LATER. - You know what helps: making the doctors visits available with comprehensive healthcare reform. It is not only the costs for the pill or the spiral, you need to be able to afford the doctor visit as well. Let them have early abortions if they chose to. The more a state is into demonizing single mothers and welfare (divorced, never married, whatever) the more likely they are to "teach" abstinence as contraception method and even make early abortions. Well that did not even work in the generation of our grand grandmothers. They got pregnant - often young folks married and those marriages were often not a good fit. Do not even get me started on the covert abortions and casualties and injuries done by it. Instead of preaching abstinence - follow the Saudis, they have the women wear a cover up and never, ever leave them alone out of the house. Or drive. Or work.(until very recently) Which is what it takes if you want to go against millions of years of evolution. Especially when the going is rough humans tend to procreate - even if that is foolish from a RATIONAL perspective. Humans can override their instincts. If they come from a place of safety and CONTROL over their life.

  36. or the CPC doing PR control. They too do not want any women that could marry being lost. The 1 child policy likely was necessary, but they did nothing to strengthen the position of parents having daughters. They could force a lot of things on the Chinese people but not that (because the ruling class has the same prejudices). Now they have a social problem at hand. Man that cannot marry - especially when they are not well educated or have a good income or the status symbols. So they reinforce the cultural norms for women - of course they would notice what the NY Times writes. The more educated women in China might read it if they know English. Women that study abroad are supposed to come back. Not getting any ideas about equal partnerships - like in the West. Such experiences and the example of this woman would get them ideas. And it does not look good for China.

  37. Do those idiots not realize that being a mother makes her a better brand ambassador ?? She would not show her kids in ads but it probably would come up in interviews. - Sure people pay attention to successful atheletes, but if the have something special (good looking, witty, charm, some swagger) or they come across as likeable / down to earth / like us it is a double whammy.

  40. Salazar was lauded as a top trainer - and he ruined one of the best talents ? I don't think so. Good that she dared to speak out now. I think she is / was the body type that isn't skinny. Having a lot of musles helps her (storage of energy for once) and she is not a sprinter, but those often also have a very athletic build. True those Ethopians are often very delicate types. But then they run in shoes made from tires so they dont comlpy with the norms either.

  41. Poor country, people kept down, then the lid is taken off (democracy). But the economy likely is still not doing good. So a scapegoat to direct the anger at has to be found. Likely the anger was simmering all the time. The dictatorship could repress a lot of things but they did not bother to counteract that kind of hatred. Why would they - there are only so much things humans can be concerned about or hate with a passion. So if some of the anger is redirected at a poor minority. All the better. The language of the "monks" and their "rationalizing" is very revealing. A woman has problems giving birth (they don't control their birth rate. a) that was about medical services and b) how does he know how many children she has). 60 people in a village incl. children were killed ? "We have to defend outselves" (how so, did the villagers attack, what danger were the children ?). they are "outbreeding" is. Which is nonsense when they are only 10 %. And I would assume that the part of the population that is Buddhist also have a lot of children. Not the language that makes them like "animals".

  43. I do not think there are rogue military leaders. The Syrian elite is a well connected club, I think Assad is well connected with the military. The Alawites (the group that calls the shots in Syria and Assad stem from that ethnicity/religion have a mentor/mentee system - sounded a little bit like the Freemansons. It surprised the CIA for instance that they had a hard time to infiltrate those cliques. They are motiviated by things beyond money, too ... so that is harder to crack.

  44. Well - of course. U.S. multinationals moved in. Joe Biden's son got a seat in the board of an energy. company. - Ukraine is destined to become another NATO member. - Gotta keep poking the Russian Bear. But the bear snatched Crimea, the warm water port is not up for U.S./NATO grabs, nor will they disregard the Russian majority population. Frack baby frack - they can poison Ukrainian farmland with impunity - at home in the U.S. the unwashed masses at least have a fighting chance against the polluters of the fracking industry. I assume in the Ukraine resistance of civilians is dealt with by one of the Nazi militias on the rise.

  45. but they installed 3 ministers of foreign nationality in the new cabinet. One of them was a former U.S. state department employee. They had to be immediately naturalized - the law allows only citizens of the Ukraine to become ministers. And Obama, Clinton, Nuland made sure that "Yats our man" became the top puppet. But they wanted their people INSIDE the operation, not too much trust in him. Well, they say he is even more corrupt than Yanukovich, and has no allegience other than his financial interests, so ....

  47. What we do know is that the White Helmets posted video footage that showed alleged victims being hosed down with water in a hospital. Now that was a setup. Cookies and dates were promised (there was a food shortage) so the children came. The assembled crowd got the water treatment after someone shouted "Chemical attack" and everyone sprung into hectic action. (At least the children got the cookies and dates later). One of the boys that found himself hosed down and appeared in the video was indentified within a few days. He had no need for being rinsed down and was quite perplexed - he had not been exposed to any dangerous substance. About 1 week later he, his father (who had to search for him in the hospital for some time) and approx. 8 other people (at least one member of staff of that hospital) travelled to The Hague in the Netherlands to testify before a committee and the press (no we do not know that anyone was exposed to chlorine that day, certainly no one in that video that was circulated worldwide). Whoever filmed that footage and posted it must have KNOWN that it was a) a manipulated situation to create a panic that could be filmed to fabricate "evidence" OR b) it was luckily only a false alarm and some helpers were erring on the side of caution (everybody gets rinsed down, we evaluate later). The video was posted ANYWAY w/o correction. As "proof" for a chemical attack - of course by the Syrian government. If you look at the video, only children and young men (which is typical for White Helmet videos). So if I am benign - there were quite willing to spread misleading/false videos to back up a claim they had made.

  48. Assad has the bad habit to use Chemical weapons a few days after the Trump admin officially announces they want to retract from Syria. * That has reliably everyone's hair on fire. Literally the only thing that could turn such a positive announcement on it's head (the U.S. will disengage from Syra) is another "chemical attack". ISIS was dealt a heavy blow in the last days - had me thinking ... 3 2 1 ... maybe another alleged chemical attack ? By the Syrian government in the time when they are winning ....

  49. Bill Clinton liked that - he had so many highyl paid advisors, of course they KNEW crime rate was dropping. Political point were to be made screw minorities and teenagers in difficult circumstances (imagine living in an area where the gangs provide security and order - sort of. Often enought he police COLLUDED WITH THEM. (see Serpico story - he was a cop from New York, he was lucky his "collegues" did not get him killed when he uncovered the truth. - the Clinton's were not really FOR black people. When it was easy and could garner them votes (fishing for the moderate Republicans) they were thrown under the bus. - the Clinton campaign tried a few racial stabs against Obama as well. They could not stoop the Republican levels (I think it may even have been the Ds that triggered the birther affair - not sure about it - and of course the bigots ran with it). They for sure launched a photo where Obama wears a traditional garment and cap. In the mind of the feeble that should trigger associations with him being a Muslim. He made a visit likely as Senator - it was either in Africa or Asia and likely in a Muslim majority country. There are often folkloristic events organized for the visitor and often the guest is invited to wear a traditional garment too. Of course the polite visitor will be a good sport, accept the offer and pose for photos with a smile. The Clinton campaign could not directly use the photo against him - but they shoved it over to someone else and hoped it would get traction. Well, their role in it came up.
