Lester Holt Told the First Big Lie-- A Guest Post By Sam Husseini
Before the faceoff between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, many were pleading that Lester Holt, the NBC anchor and moderator Monday night, to be a “fact checker.” Any delusions in that regard should have been dashed right away as he perpetrated a root falsehood at the very start of the event. Holt claimed that the event was “sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization. The commission drafted tonight’s format, and the rules have been agreed to by the campaigns.” While the CPD certainly controls much of the event, it’s not a “nonpar... more »
Observations from Penny Dreadful Cthulhu Character Generation
As a reminder, Penny Dreadful Cthulhu = Pulp Cthulhu By Gaslight. Given that the Penny Dreadfuls were the forerunners to the later Pulps, it's not a particularly large leap. This week we kicked off character generation. Here's who we have so far: - A noble whose older brother has the seat in the House of Lords and whose parents were killed about ten years ago by criminals. - The noble's valet. He served the noble's father. Dad was a diplomat and the valet was actually a spy in the Great Game. Valet now secretly seeks vengeance on the criminal element for killing h... more »

"On Your Own Terms..."
"If the sun is shining, stand in it- yes, yes, yes. Happy times are great, but happy times pass- they have to- because time passes. The pursuit of happiness is more elusive; it is life-long, and it is not goal-centered. What you are pursuing is meaning- a meaningful life... There are times when it will go so wrong that you will be barely alive, and times when you realize that being barely alive, on your own terms, is better than living a bloated half-life on someone else's terms." - Jeanette Winterson

Hobson’s Pledge: Racism?
[image: 102758642] The commentariat is all aflame attacking the “Hobson’s Pledge” movement, launched this week by Don Brash. Their vision for New Zealand, they say, “is a society in which all citizens are equal before the law, irrespective of when they or their ancestors arrived in this land.” Brash warns in particular of “iwi participation agreements” in proposed RMA amendments that “would virtually entrench co-governance and partnership obligations with some Maori into local government, creating an under-the-radar constitutional change”; and cites the ongoing farce of Maori s... more »

Putin Would Be A Much Worse Problem For Trump Than Adderall Or Even Cocaine
A *NYTimes* intrepid team of reporters-- Patrick Healy, Ashley Parker and the indefatigable Maggie Haberman-- talked to a gaggle of Trump advisors who are tiptoeing through the mine-field of getting a little teensy-weensy pivot out of Trump about how he approaches debates.

Aspects of the Indian-Pakistani (so far) miniwar
The British Empire has been in charge of the British India for some time. In 1947, that territory declared their independence and new countries, Pakistan and India, were created.

However, you may see that India is still the by far more diverse country among the two. I would surely say that India is the more "politically Western" country among the two. You could say that it's "ironic" given the Pakistani prime mi... more »

With long standing rumours about the health of her Mother Hillary, the coughing episodes, the seizures and then her collapse at the 9/11 memorial in New York, most Americans already knew something was seriously wrong with her health. But her daughter said was unaware that Clinton had pneumonia….so did Hillary forget to tell her? As Political Insider points out: At first her campaign tried to say she “overheated” in the mild, September New York weather. Then, after her campaign realized that no one would believe such a silly lie, ... more »

Labor Econ 18, Robots and job creation

Deutsche Bank Collapse Inevitable, Prepare For Economic Armageddon
The German banking giant Deutsche Bank has lost more than half of its value since January and is now on the verge of collapse. The fancy financial instruments and derivatives that were used as collateral by banks that caused the crash of 2008 have all been scooped up, held and repackaged by the German bank. The German government does not have the means to bail out their biggest bank even if they were willing to. They have been snookered by the global banking elite, who have done nothing but prosper since 2008, crashing one bank after another while getting ridiculous amounts of bail... more »

Deadline Looming: Stop Obama Giving Up Internet Freedom
This week, our nation and the rest of the world face a looming deadline that will forever alter the future of cyber security, free speech and Internet freedom.

But we have the opportunity to fight back and demand that our Members of Congress keep the Internet free and secure for everyone. We’ve been fighting on this front for years, but now the deadline looms. Special Counsel Craig Parshall previously explained in detail: “I... more »

Returns Begin To Iraq’s Fallujah
Roughly three months after Fallujah was freed the first families have begun returning. In a carefully orchestrated event by Anbar politicians, 14 families were welcomed back on September 14. There were three other families, but at the last minute they were declaredIslamic State sympathizers and rejected. People are supposed to go through five different agencies to get authorization to enter Fallujah, but that process appeared to be still a work in progress.

Interesting Development in Efforts to Choke the Oil Glut
Declining oil prices from global over-production have the potential to produce significant financial problems for over-leveraged firms. Iran's entry into the global market, as a result of normalization of international relations, posed a particular problem because of the country's capacity to produce large amounts of oil at relatively low prices. It looks as if OPEC is going to pull together to try to limit over-production, with the Saudis potentially absorbing cuts in order to balance overall production: By Rania El Gamal and Alex Lawler September 28, 2016, OPEC reaches first dea... more »
Trumponomics
Regular readers of this blog know that I often disagree with Paul Krugman. But I come here today to agree with a recent post of his on the analysis put out by two Trump economic advisers. The Trump advisers' analysis is truly disappointing (though perhaps not surprisingly so, given what the candidate has said over the course of the campaign). Their analysis of trade deficits, starting on page 18, boils down to the following: We know that GDP=C+I+G+NX. NX is negative (the trade deficit). Therefore, if we somehow renegotiate trade deals and make NX rise to zero, GDP goes up! They... more »

The pundits are increasingly sceptical about Justin Trudeau. Nevertheless, Gerry Caplan writes, the public's love affair with him continues.

Like so many of her peers, Ms. Delacourt did not at all appreciate Stephen Harper’s open contempt for the press gallery.

Dewsbury child sex abuse gang jailed per BBC News
This BBC report http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-37486204 illustrates the point from my previous post.

A good piece of sleuthing here. What it clearly explains is that peoples in the form of tribes or even bands took petroglyphs to denote their group.
