Mora provides the following list of factoids about the ruling party and Maduro’s family which may prove shocking to even those who have been following the story closely. He describes the situation as being like a storyline from the TV series “Narcos,” but actually much worse in some ways.<br /><br /><b>The country’s Supreme Court president is a convicted murderer.<br /><br />A U.S. federal court indicted its minister of the interior for drug trafficking.<br /><br />The U.S. Treasury Department named its vice president a drug kingpin.<br /><br />Two nephews of the nation’s first lady are behind bars, convicted of attempting to transport 800 kilograms of cocaine into the U.S.<br /><br />The country’s president faces a lawsuit before the International Criminal Court in The Hague, filed by 100 Latin American politicians, which accuses him of committing human rights abuses.</b><br /><br />If Maduro succeeds in destroying the constitution and dismissing the legislature without losing control of the nation, Mora argues that Venezuela will complete the transition from socialist tyranny to full on communist dictatorship, in much the same style as Cuba under Fidel Castro in the early years. It will also, the author argues, trigger a massive exodus of refugees, many of whom will wish to come to the United States. We could be talking numbers upwards of five million or more.<br /><br />Mora’s advice is for the United States to lead the way with other western partners in decisive action. Rather than a unilateral set of sanctions which could further endanger the starving populace, he suggests we freeze the assets of Maduro government officials and family members. We should also cancel their visas and expel their family members and associates from the U.S. and our allied nations. (We could simultaneously promulgate the information about how rich those people are, living high on the hog, to the starving Venezuelan citizens.) That might finally force Maduro to schedule free, open elections and leave the place quietly.<br /><br />I don’t disagree with Mora’s solutions, nor really much of his analysis. The Maduro regime is a crime syndicate to be sure and the people of that nation are in desperate need of relief. But I’m not so sure that the complete collapse of the current socialist government would see Maduro still in charge. At this point it seems as if the people are so unified against him (including some of the former Chavistas) that he’s more likely to wind up hanging from a meat hook in the center of Caracas in the manner of ll Duce in Italy, circa 1945.<br /><br />But that’s not a sure thing and I agree we should be taking action. I’ve argued here before that military intervention would be a foolish invitation to disaster (not to mention our having plenty of other irons in the fire at the moment) but normal sanctions probably aren’t enough. I like Mora’s suggestions I listed above, as they take a much firmer hand in the situation without starting an actual war. Hopefully the Trump administration will consider some of these tactics.<br /><br />http://hotair.com/archives/2017/07/26/venezuela-verge-becoming-next-cuba/Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-24332902032191747662017-07-26T21:49:43.282-04:002017-07-26T21:49:43.282-04:00At this point the Venezuelan people might welcome ...At this point the Venezuelan people might welcome a little gun boat diplomacy, accompanied by by air dropped food and medicine -<br /><br /><b>This Is How Venezuela Might Become The Next Cuba</b><br />JAZZ SHAWPosted at 12:31 pm on July 26, 2017 <br /><br />There was an important essay published at The Hill yesterday by Venezuelan-American attorney Antonio Mora which carries some vital information and dire warnings concerning the unfolding crisis in his home country. What he’s warning of is the possibility that the already failing socialist regime of Nicolas Maduro could wind up collapsing, but not disappearing, leaving us with a new version of Cuba under the Castro family. This is the crux of his argument:<br /><br />Maduro is trying to cement his power by holding a rigged constituent assembly election. The assembly’s mission would be to adopt a new constitution that would eliminate the opposition-controlled National Assembly, perpetuate Maduro’s hold on power, eliminate any vestiges of democracy and establish a Cuba-style, one-party communist dictatorship.<br /><br />With the constituent assembly “election” scheduled for July 30, no time is left for waffling from the international community. Anarchy in Venezuela, a possible civil war, or the consolidation of a “new Cuba” pose serious risks for the national security of the Unites States and the whole hemisphere.<br /><br />Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-30784455051584366322017-07-26T21:48:28.462-04:002017-07-26T21:48:28.462-04:00.

The point was made that Trump lacks the balls to just come right out and fire Sessions so he is instead indulging in a campaign of humiliation hoping Sessions will eventually resign leaving the field open for Trump to hire some compliant butt-boy like Rudy Guiliani who would willingly fire Mueller and put an end to the Russian investigation. <br /><br />Sessions is so far holding firm and refusing to quit. It remains to be see who will hold out longer, Sessions or Trump, a president who is facing mounting criticism from inside his own party for his attacks on Sessions. There was a steady stream of GOP legislators paraded on both FOX and CNN today who criticized Trump for his recent tweets. Some indicated that if Sessions goes, Trump will play hell trying to get some compliant yes-man approved through the Senate.<br /><br />Trump might be considered more of a wheeler-dealer if his moves weren't so blatantly obvious.<br /><br />.<br />Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-73507410290954486932017-07-26T19:55:50.449-04:002017-07-26T19:55:50.449-04:00Spooky is one word that comes to mind.

The technique is designed to correct a genetic disorder from the father.<br /><br />The first known attempt at creating genetically modified human embryos in the United States has been carried out by a team of researchers in Portland, Oregon, Technology Review has learned.<br /><br />The effort, led by Shoukhrat Mitalipov of Oregon Health and Science University, involved changing the DNA of a large number of one-cell embryos with the gene-editing technique CRISPR, according to people familiar with the scientific results.<br /><br />Until now, American scientists have watched with a combination of awe, envy, and some alarm as scientists elsewhere were first to explore the controversial practice. To date, three previous reports of editing human embryos were all published by scientists in China.<br /><br />Now Mitalipov is believed to have broken new ground both in the number of embryos experimented upon and by demonstrating that it is possible to safely and efficiently correct defective genes that cause inherited diseases.<br /><br /><b>Although none of the embryos were allowed to develop for more than a few days—and there was never any intention of implanting them into a womb—the experiments are a milestone on what may prove to be an inevitable journey toward the birth of the first genetically modified humans.</b><br /><br />In altering the DNA code of human embryos, the objective of scientists is to show that they can eradicate or correct genes that cause inherited disease, like the blood condition beta-thalassemia. The process is termed “germline engineering” because any genetically modified child would then pass the changes on to subsequent generations via their own germ cells—the egg and sperm.<br /><br />Some critics say germline experiments could open the floodgates to a brave new world of “designer babies” engineered with genetic enhancements—a prospect bitterly opposed by a range of religious organizations, civil society groups, and biotech companies.<br /><br />The U.S. intelligence community last year called CRISPR a potential "weapon of mass destruction.”.......<br />https://www.technologyreview.com/s/608350/first-human-embryos-edited-in-us/<br /><br /><br />Someday, and soon too, we may all be Quirks.<br />Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-63331504329459174572017-07-26T19:53:45.837-04:002017-07-26T19:53:45.837-04:00US President Donald Trump has announced he will no...<i>US President Donald Trump has announced he will not allow transgender individuals to serve in the United States military in any capacity.<br /><br />The move has apparently caught the Pentagon and some US politicians off guard, and seemingly unwound landmark Pentagon policy which lifted a transgender ban 12 months ago.<br /><br />...<br /><br />Mr Trump announced his decision on Twitter in a series of tweets.<br /><br />But it took another nine minutes before he followed it up with some detail.<br /><br />The President argued the military "cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail," he wrote.<br /><br />ABC Washington Bureau chief Zoe Daniel says the decision was also based on consultation with his national security team.</i>samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856051164644278989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-1113067902918925982017-07-26T19:45:35.311-04:002017-07-26T19:45:35.311-04:00Good Lord, Doug, where do you come up with that st...Good Lord, Doug, where do you come up with that stuff ?<br /><br />No, don't answer.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-17476102333219046562017-07-26T19:41:37.161-04:002017-07-26T19:41:37.161-04:00One could put all the XXers in one group, their pe...One could put all the XXers in one group, their periods would all co-ordinate, and they'd be fierce, unstopped.Charltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337923317977922025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-77047770695377680252017-07-26T19:41:02.494-04:002017-07-26T19:41:02.494-04:00Quirk at Work:
