The Legacy of America’s Largest Forest Fire
Here now came the fire down from the Bitterroot Mountains and showered embers and forest shrapnel onto the town that was supposed to be protected by all those men with faraway accents and empty stomachs. For days, people had watched it from their gabled houses, from front porches and ash-covered streets, and there was some safety in the distance, some fascination even—See there, way up on the ridgeline, just candles flickering in the trees. But now it was on them, an element transformed from Out There to Here, and just as suddenly in their hair, on front lawns, snuffing out the life of a drunk on a hotel mattress, torching a veranda. The sky had been dark for some time on this Saturday in August of 1910, the town covered in a warm fog so opaque that the lights were turned on at three o’clock in the afternoon. People took stock of what to take, what to leave behind. A woman buried her sewing machine out back in a shallow grave. A pressman dug a hole for his trunk of family possessions, but before he could finish the fire caught him on the face, the arms, the neck.
How much time did they have until Wallace burned to the ground? An hour or two? Perhaps not even that? When the town had been consumed by flame twenty years earlier, it fell in a...

We are witnessing an assault by the national security state and its liberal media on a President of the United States that is unprecedented.
Wild and unsupported accusations of treasonous or illegal Russian connections have been the mainstay of the news since Trump’s campaign for president. These accusations have reached the point that there is an impeachment movement driven by the national security state and its liberal media and endorsed by Democrats, the American leftwing which has turned against the working class as “Trump deplorables,” and luminaries such as Harvard Law Professor Larry Tribe. The Washington Post, which was not present at the meeting of President Trump with Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, purports to know that Trump gave Lavrov US national security information.
The Russian government has offered the presstitute media a transcript of the meeting, but, of course, the pressitutes are not interested.
The latest story is that Trump tried to bribe FBI Director Comey, before he fired him, not to investigate Trump as part of the “Russian investigation.” Clearly there is no intelligence left in the American media. The President doesn’t need to bribe someone he can fire.
What we are witnessing is the determination of the national security state to keep their prized “Russian Threat” in its assigned role as the Number One Threat to the US. The liberal media, owned by the CIA since the 1950s is in accord with this goal.
The American media is so accustomed to its enslavement by the national security state that it does not think of the consequences. But Professor Stephen Cohen does. I agree with him that the greatest threat to national security is...
Maybe there’s a reason Donald Trump thought Jim Comey was a “nut job.”
Initial reports about the Comey memo - the one that as of yet no one has actually seen - made it sound like Comey made the extraordinary decision to document a highly irregular conversation with the president.
But the more we learn about Comey in general, and about his attitude toward President Trump specifically, the more it sounds like Comey was rather paranoid about his relationship with Trump - both the perception of it and the reality.
Paranoid enough to wear a blue suit and stand in front of blue curtains
How paranoid? If you haven’t seen it, you should check out Allahpundit’s piece on this from HotAir last Friday. Paranoid enough to wear a blue suit and stand in front of blue curtains in the hope that Trump would somehow not see him during a White House reception shortly after the inauguration. Paranoid enough to worry that when Trump shook his hand he might try to turn the handshake into a hug, and to actually...
Kim Dotcom; hacker, serial entrepreneur - and for a while the #1 ranked Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 player in the world - may be the key to the entire Seth Rich saga. From testimony in the Wikileaks investigation to Rich's still unsolved murder - and facing extradition - Dotcom is ready to go nuclear...To bring you up to speedLast week, Private Investigator Rod Wheeler appeared on Fox5 news in DC with an update in the unsolved murder of DNC IT expert Seth Rich, claiming proof exists on Rich's laptop proving he was Julian Assange's source for leaked DNC emails during the 2016 election - an account in direct conflict to the Russian hacking narrative based on a discredited IT firm's report.Wheeler walked back his statements the next day, however the fuse was already lit... Weaponized autists on Reddit and 4chan began furiously digging back into the Seth Rich case for clues in the still unsolved murder - and they went deep.Among the findings were Seth Rich's Reddit account, email addresses, and Twitter accounts - one of which was in support of candidate Bernie Sanders. As an aside - before joining the DNC, Rich moved to Washington DC to take a job with polling and research firm Greenberg Quinlan Rosner - whose founder Stanley Greenberg was a senior advisor to President Bill Clinton.
Reddit's the_donald goes darkAs Seth Rich posts reached a crescendo Friday night - dominating the front page of /r/The_Donald, the Conde Nast-linked website shut the 'subreddit' down for around 12 hours following a moderator's unrelated declaration of war on the rest of Reddit over censorship - completely killing the Seth Rich momentum. When The_Donald was reopened, 'officially' to aid the Seth Rich effort - the offending moderator had been banned and two other mods were removed from their positions. Seth Rich posts, however, are notably sparse. Oh, and Reddit edited Seth Rich's account during the lockout.Meanwhile in New ZealandKim Dotcom is pissed - and has been plotting revenge against Hillary Clinton, Obama, and Hollywood after being targeted in the biggest copyright infringement case in history - which included a massive illegal (and then legal) raid on his New Zealand mansion by 76 armed officers and two helicopters.Also seized were giant screen TVs and works of art, US$175m (NZ$218m) in cash, the contents of 64 bank accounts world-wide, including BNZ and Kiwibank accounts in New Zealand, Government bonds and money from numerous PayPal accounts.Police said last night up to $11m in cash was restrained in various accounts. -stuff.co.nzDotcom was arrested and thrown in prison for almost two months, and has been fighting ongoing court battles and pressure to extradite him to the USA ever since. In December of 2016, New Zealand's district court announced Mr. Dotcom was eligible for extradition - a decision upheld on appeal by NZ's High Court.The Mega founder has stepped forward to offer proof that Seth Rich was one of...
