Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa is getting to the bottom of things, and some think he's laying out a path to exonerate former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn - who pleaded guilty of lying to the FBI over his contacts with former Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak.
It has been suggested that the FBI set Flynn up, and his admission of guilt could have been to avoid sure financial ruin trying to fight the Special Counsel. Others say Flynn was protecting his son, Michael Flynn Jr., who served as his father's aide for his consulting company, Flynn Intel Group.

Yep, waste disposal and handling is never factored in to the "cheap cost of nuclear energy," bah!
Earlier in the thread the UN Nuclear watchdog resignation was announced by Perfectenemy (props) and I linked to a project he helped along.
Here is an interesting article about that facility in which they discuss how best to warn future generations that might not be able to read out language or warning signs.
There are many pressing engineering problems posed by Onkalo, but these are easily solved when compared with the difficulty of trying to figure out how to convey a warning message about the contents of this site to a person thousands of generations distant.
At this point, scientists have proposed everything from a nuclear priesthood to radioactive cats as ways of conveying the idea of danger about the nuclear repository sites to future generation. Madsen was the first to adapt this dire warning to the future for the cinema.
I think the most recent determination they have made is to not mark the site in any way once it is back filled over so as not to draw any particular attention to the site and just hope that no one ever stumbles across it.
Think about that for a sec. We have to consider the fact that civilization might fall completely, rise again, and entirely new languages develop that are so different from current ones that they might not be able to read our writings or warning signs and nuclear waste from today will still be dangerous.
Tell me again how 'cheap' nuclear energy is? Oh yeah, they don't take the above into account when they calculate costs.

They know they are screwed and better to save face by quietly resigning now before their reputations get shattered. The aftermath of the Plan won't be pretty that's for sure.

Just to point out that there's a significant time difference between the Assad/Kerry picture and the Assad/Pelosi picture:
Same carpet and wall/ room position but carpet more faded in Kerry picture. However all the furniture is different (though exactly same types/style).
I'd guess Pelosi was in 50s from the pic and the youth of her legs => 20 years ago?

Corsi is playing a dangerous game. He openly threatens to doxx CM. Does he not know that 8 is not just full of trolls and if you anger them enough they will retaliate? 4 doesn't take these threats kindly as well and if it comes to that they will band together with 8. Corsi should better back off immediately before he truly regrets his decision.

It really is sad that the corruption is everywhere. No matter where you look, there it is, more corruption.
Was anybody during the past few administrations NOT dirty?

Who is CM?
SAN FRANCISCO -- You probably know where your Social Security card, birth certificate and other sensitive information is being stored, but what about your genetic material? If you or your child was born in California after 1983, your DNA is likely being stored by the government, may be available to law enforcement and may even be in the hands of outside researchers, CBS San Francisco's Julie Watts reports.
Like many states, California collects bio-samples from every child born in the state. The material is then stored indefinitely in a state-run biobank, where it may be purchased for outside research.
State law requires that parents are informed of their right to request the child's sample be destroyed, but the state does not confirm parents actually get that information before storing or selling their child's DNA.
KPIX has learned that most parents are not getting the required notification. We've also discovered the DNA may be used for more than just research.
In light of the Cambridge Analytica-Facebook scandal and the use of unidentified DNA to catch the Golden State Killer suspect, there are new concerns about law enforcement access, and what private researchers could do with access to the DNA from every child born in the state.

CodeMonkey is the board admin of 8. Corsi confuses him constantly with BO but he is only the board owner of 8. CM and BO are not the same person.
