https://epik.com/blog/why-epik-welcomed-gab-com.html "The domain Gab.com has landed at Epik. This post will summarize why Epik welcomed Gab.com. It will also address why I believe the operators of the site have the right to be online. For those not familiar with the case, Gab.com’s ability to operate was abruptly terminated by Godaddy, among other vendors, who deemed Gab to have violated their terms of service. This de-platforming of Gab generated much discussion in the mainstream technology press. It also prompted a lively discussion in the professional domain name community, including at the popular discussion board NamePros. As the news broke, and as some elements in the mainstream media rendered their judgement, I embarked on my own search for truth. Along the way, I did have an opportunity to meet with the Founder of Gab, Andrew Torba, an entrepreneur who was willing to swim against the tide for what he believes is right, namely empowering netizens to discuss openly about matters of mutual interest with limited risk of censorship. Although, I did not take the decision lightly to accept this domain registration, I look forward to partnering with a young, and once brash, CEO who is courageously doing something that looks useful. As I reflect on my own journey as a truth-seeking tech entrepreneur, I have no doubt that Andrew will continue to develop not only as tech entrepreneur but also as a responsible steward — one that can balance bravado with diplomacy and who tempers courage with humility..."

According to the referral, the woman, Judy Munro-Leighton, contacted the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding a letter presented by Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) from “Jane Doe” of Oceanside, California, who claimed that Kavanaugh had raped her “several times.” As Breitbart News reported last month: According to committee transcripts released Sunday, the accuser, who signed the mysterious letter as “Jane Doe,” alleges Kavanaugh and a friend raped her “several times” after giving her a lift home from a party — making no attempt to claim a time or place for the lurid story. The accuser claims Kavanaugh groped her, slapped her, and force her to perform sexual acts. “They forced me to go into the backseat and took 2 turns raping me several times each. They dropped me off 3 two blocks from my home,” the accuser wrote, claiming the pair told her, “No one will believe if you tell. Be a good girl.” The letter, marked with the word “urgent,” did not include a return address, nor did it offer clues regarding the accuser’s background. “A group of white men, powerful senators who won’t believe me, will come after me” if I reveal the incident, the accuser wrote, prompting observers to speculate the sender could be a minority. Munro-Leighton contacted the committee via e-mail, claiming that she was “Jane Doe” and that Kavanaugh had raped her. However, she later admitted that she was not “Jane Doe” and had never met Kavanaugh..."

The position is called an "intimacy coordinator," and the person will now be on set during all Skinemax scenes to ensure no harassment or abuse takes place. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the "intimacy coordinator" made their debut on the set of "The Deuce," (starring #MeToo violator James Franco) and will now be installed on all sets requiring their presence, which is pretty much every show on HBO. HBO announced the new profession on its public relations Twitter account on Thursday shortly after Rolling Stone reported on "Intimacy Coordinator" Alicia Rodis's work on "The Deuce," a show about the 1970's porn industry in New York. "As reported in @RollingStone, all @HBO programs with intimate scenes will be staffed by an intimacy coordinator," HBO PR tweeted. Alicia Rodis has made quite a name for herself as an "Intimacy Coordinator" it seems, having already worked on the upcoming "Deadwood" movie and "Watchmen" series."

Indeed, history demonstrates this. The Kremlin’s war on Tbilisi and Kyiv has not dissuaded either capital from its Westward course."

https://reason.com/reasontv/2018/10/09/stossel-socialism-fails-every-time "Socialism has become cool in America, under the nice name "democratic socialism." Gloria Álvarez ‏knows better, because she's from Latin America and studied socialism there. She says: Watch out! Socialism has a clear track record of wrecking every country that implements it. Cuba tried socialism. Things got so bad that tens of thousands fled the island on dangerous, makeshift rafts. Others paid lots of money to be allowed to leave. Álvarez interviews people who fled. One man told her that in Cuba: "You don't see any future. Everything is stagnated...health care, education, nowadays they're in ruins." Another said: "My father [a doctor] had to sell illegal meats out of his ambulance...because Cuban doctors earn less than 1% of American doctors." Because of his experience with socialism, that man is now running as a libertarian for a Florida State House seat. He adds: "I tell my Venezuelan friends, we warned you guys!" After Cuba, Venezuela became immersed in socialism. For a while, things seemed to work OK thanks to the country's oil wealth; Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world, and used to be the richest country in Latin America. Celebrities like Michael Moore and Sean Penn visited Hugo Chavez and praised his socialism. Venezuelans were happy, too. A former mayor in Venezuela's capital city told Álvarez: "People were clapping so hard. They were like, 'Oh, finally there is somebody here making social justice.'" But eventually socialism led to a mismanagement of the economy that was so bad that money started to run out. The government just printed more. So much more that it led to million-percent inflation. Life savings were wiped out. When businesses raised prices to try to keep up with inflation, Chavez and his successor, President Maduro, banned that. When businesses did it anyway, they were seized by the government. This tragic video shows a shopkeeper pleading as his business is taken away. It wasn't a one-time thing; more than 30,000 businesses were confiscated. Now, millions starve. The average Venezuelan has lost 24 pounds. More than 2 million people have fled the country. "It's like the apocalypse. It's no food. No medicine," one Venezuelan told Álvarez. But some still defend socialism, saying that what happened there "isn't real socialism." Bernie Sanders says: "when I talk about Socialism I am not looking at Venezuela, I'm not looking at Cuba. I'm looking at countries like Denmark, like Sweden." But Denmark's prime minister says that's a mistake: "Denmark is far from a socialist planned economy. Denmark is a market economy," he clarifies."

Утверждается: тридцать пять лет назад, когда Кавано было около 17, и он учился в школе, во время какого-то праздника, они с приятелем запихали некоторую девушку Кристину в комнату, против ее воли. Кавано пытался на нее забраться, и пытался ей зажать рот, чтобы она не кричала, пока другой участник хохотал. Потом этот другой участник на них запрыгнул, повалил их на пол, и она сбежала. Где это было, Кристина не помнит. В каком именно году, Кристина не помнит. Кристина никому никогда историю не рассказывала, пока через 30 лет после событий они с мужем пошли к семейному психотерапевту, и там она все вспомнила" Совершенно необяснимым образом она вспомнила об этом, когда Кавано номинируют в судьи

На этих выборах "база" Демократической партии выкатила несколько довольно упертых социалистов, причем не просто упертых, но с соответствующим пониманием экономики. Вот прикольная пародия на одну из них, довольно похожая на интервью, которые эта барышня давала. 19. Сама социалистка успел много, чего наговорить, например, защищая цену предложенной социалистической медицины, призвала припомнить цену похорон, за которые приходится платить тем, кто не может позволить себе лечение! 20. Разумеется, опытные социалисты знают, что это только звучит глупо, как будто бы она не понимает, что смерти избежать нельзя. На самом деле, она, конечно, имеет в виду, что при социализме можно избежать не смерти, но расходов на похороны. Имеется огромный опыт. Два слова - братские могилы. 21. Объяснительный журналист из VOX, Matt Yglesias поспешил объяснить, что не надо бояться огромных расходов на социализм: Folks, the federal government has the means to create all the money it needs. https://t.co/PBhGhfrLyT — Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) September 5, 2018 22. Другая социалистка, Julia Salazar, объясняла, что родилась в Колумбии, в еврейской семье, происходящей от евреев, изгнанных из Испании, позиционировала себя как анти-Израильскую, анти-сионистскую еврейку, но потом оказалось, родилась в Майями, и ее брат сказал, что ни их отец не еврей, ни других близких родственников евреев у них нету, и не росли они как евреи. В общем, оказалось, не еврейка, а просто антисемитка."
