Lisa Osborn Chuck Cecil Dan Avey w/daughter Ally Joe Nasty Willie Bee Phil Flowers Nancy Plum and Joe Nasty Lisa May Ends 30-Year Radio Career November 19 2019 Long-time radio morning personality Lisa May is retiring from radio She made the announcement on “The Frosty Heidi amp Frank Show” on KLOS After 30-years of waking up with Southern California listeners she is hanging up her headphones and moving to the Coachella Valley to explore entrepreneurial interests May’s last day as the entertainment news and traffic reporter at KLOS will be Friday December 13 May said “As someone who loves LA and is weirdly obsessed with traffic I am immensely grateful for my 30 years in Los Angeles radio To say it has been an amazing ride is an understatement and I want to thank 955 KLOS and ‘The Frosty Heidi and Frank Show’ for giving me the opportunity to spend my last 5 years on air with them What an honor! I’m looking forward to the next chapter in my life – I’m headed to the Palm Springs area to open up a sister-studio to Strength Code in Toluca Lake My hope is to be able to move through the next 20-plus years with strength and grace and to help others do the same” “Lisa has touched millions of listeners in Southern California over the years and morning radio won’t be the same Her familiar calming voice and infectious laugh will truly be missed” said KLOS pd Keith Cunningham In February 2015 Lisa May left the KROQ Kevin amp Bean morning show where she had been since 1990 Born in Inglewood Lisa grew up in Costa Mesa She was actually employed by the traffic company Total Traffic that provided that service to KROQ in exchange for spot inventory When she left KROQ Bean said “We’re very very close friends with Lisa May I consider her one of my best friends” Kevin added: We love her and we’re gonna stop doing traffic and so that means she has to go away It sucksIt is very difficult for us to discuss this and very difficult to present it in a way that is respectful of her and to let people know how sad we are about this It is a huge loss for us She’s been with us from almost the beginning of the show It is weird for me that she’s not here Real weird Plus she was the only one who was every nice to me There was a time when Ralph Garman wasn’t on the show We’ve had other people come and go like Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla It’s kind of the nature of the beast when a show has been on for a long time that people are going to come and go We love you Lisa and we will absolutely miss you and I hope we can stay friends” concluded Bean Hear Ache Earl Trout has a new bumper sticker especially for youth of the 60s who are now well grown-up and know what that 1967 bumper sticker really should have said: “Don’t Trust Anyone Over 30 Years in Government” … In the LA Times interview with KROQ’s Kevin amp Bean the duo acknowledged the competition they were joining upon their arrival in 1989 They included Mark amp Brian KLOS Rick Dees KIIS/fm Jay Thomas KPWR Scott Shannon KQLZ and the Baka Boys later KPWR “There were always good shows” said Kevin amp Bean … Jimmy DeCastro ex-KFAC and KKBT general manager exits the Midwest cluster for Entercom … Is podcasting replacing radio New data from Nielsen suggests that it isn’t according to their medium and small market edition of their Audio Today Report 90 percent of podcast listeners also use radio every week These podcast listeners prefer news/talk radio though over the most popular format in medium and small markets Country music Challenges at 885/fm November 18 2019 California State University Northridge is looking for someone to operate AAA station KCSN and Saddleback College’s KSBR according to a story in RadioTelevision Business Report A “Request for Qualification” has reportedly been issued by the public institution of higher learning according to another source Ken Mills’ Spark News blog which is devoted to noncommercial media Mills reports that CSUN issued the RFQ to solicit proposals from noncom public media organizations to manage and program KCSN and by default KSBR KCSN’s “Smart Rock” programming as it was initially billed in 2013 is the product of Sky Daniels the now-retired veteran Rock programmer who served as Alternative Editor of Radio amp Records before taking an upper-level management position at the now-defunct trade publication There is a fast time table for completion of this project CSUN hopes the process will be concluded by March 15 2020 Mills reports From the RadioTelevision Business Report: “KCSN/fm appears in the Nielsen Audio ratings for Los Angeles with a 04 rating overall This is achieved with a signal primarily serving the Santa Clarita Valley and San Fernando Valley aided by booster from a transmitter atop a former RampR home — 10100 Santa Monica Blvd in Century City This puts KCSN’s signal “over the hill” and into the Westside of LA including Beverly Hills and Santa Monica” Author Ken Mills says “Early speculation has PBS SoCal — the partnership between KCET-28 and KOCE-50 — a leading contender for managing KCSN and KSBR Then there is American Public Media which could bring its Adult Alternative ‘Current’ brand of Triple A music from its home market of Minneapolis” Help a Hero It’s another successful Help-a-Hero radiothon

And Now Ladies and Gentlemen Some Top 40 Radio History – The Bill Drake Era It is what it is! But – there is some Internet spinning of what it really was Ron Jacobs an old pre-Drake teammate of mine chooses to never mention some real goodies He seems more interested in maximizing his role and bad mouthing and minimizing Bill Drake Nice For example: The outcome of the radio Big Game in Fresno before 93/KHJ LA Jacobs’ KMAK vs Drake’s KYNO KYNO scored a 52 average share of the audience from 6 am to midnight More than all other seventeen stations combined Jabobs splits Scoreboard! Months later Jacobs reappears from uh somewhere visits me and seeks a job with Drake and his new client KHJ Drake decides to hire him and gives Ron his format / programming philosophy Drake also gave him Robert W Morgan The Real Don Steele Sam Riddle Gary Mack Roger Christian Dave Diamond Johnny Williams and the Johnny Mann Singers they were all hired before Jacobs And when Drake gave Jacobs the job he also gave him the greatest music format in radio no interference from outside of the programming department and a commercial policy to die for Drake also gave Jacobs a lot of other little goodies like The Big Kahuna the 48-hour Blockbuster ‘The History of Rock and Roll’ and on and on Bill explained the concept of ‘The History’ to Jacobs gave him the outline and told him to hire some writers have Bill Mouzis do the montages and studio production and have Robert W Morgan narrate it No Drake no ‘History of Rock and Roll!’ I was there I could go on but why bother Jacobs has a very selective memory and seems consumed with shameless self promotion And he calls everyone else involved ‘wannabes’ I became sick of reading Ron’s deceptive comments and thought someone should set the record straight No Drake no LA program director gig for Jacobs! That’s all I worked with them both and I would know For the complete story check with me in the huddle I remember ALL of the colorful pd’s and jocks who joined at ALL the RKO stations during the Odyssey They know who they are Each city was an adventure KHJ-Los Angeles KFRC-San Francisco WOR/fm-New York WRKO-Boston CKLW-Detroit WHBQ-Memphis KGB-San Diego KAKC-Tulsa and of course KYNO-Fresno It was a TCB fun trip and unforgettable off duty kicks Tina Delgado Is Alive!!! Email Saturday 11162019 KPCC Downsizing “Don’t know why KPCC would dump Hettie Lynne Hurtes the best talent on the staff matched only by Susanne Whatley but on top of all her other talents it’s all dressed up with the best voice on the staff as well They’ve effectively just taken the sound of the station and removed the tuxedo and told everybody to go to work in shorts I’m looking forward to someone casting a soprano in the Mr Grinch role this Christmas You know there are some cases where there is just no replacement Sorry I have to get back to listening to my new boxed set of Minnie Mouse singing Diana Krall hits And all this from a station that bought 4000 Neumann microphones from our donations and filtered them to sound like 90 mics It figures” – Don Elliot World Class Public Radio Outlet “I’m sorry about KPCC laying off Hettie Lynne Hurtes I remember when KPCC was a true teaching tool for PCC first and then a world class public radio outlet I worked there as the PR assistant in the late 70’s – early 80’s It’s also too bad about Fuddruckers I guess the one in Buena Park is probably the only one left” – Julie T Byers Worked with Hettie “I first worked with Hettie Lynne Hurtes back in the late ’70’s we were kids at the time! and can honestly say she is the hardest working and most professional news anchor I know No matter what the format any station would be fortunate to have her on their staff” – Ken Davis KPCC Midday News “I agree with the many who offer accolades to Hettie Lynne Hurtes she is indeed one of the best LARadio journalists I also hope it is not true KPCC is going to cut back on their midday local newscasts The station has many fine reporters including the talented anchors Any reduced opportunity for these reporters to have their stories heard is not a positive for an otherwise quality source for local information on the local radio dial” – Alan Oda Dudley’s Records “What a joy to see Bill Dudley in his element and doing so well Hard work and deep passion That’s Bill” – Keri Tombazian Dudley Do Right “I’m so glad that Bill Dudley’s store is doing so well He’s a great guy If I were still living in SoCal I would be spending many hours there” – Bob Scott Where is the Bender “I am not sure if this is the right place to send an email for a radio question but what happened to Aron Bender at KFI and the Tim Conway Show Love the website” – Julie Lule Funny Funnies “Your cartoons just keep gettin’ better and better I still wish we could find the one that hung in the KUSN control room for a few days: A fat ol’ news guy with reading glasses in front of a mike holding his copy saying ‘wanna know what today’s weather is like Look out the goddamn window’ Pretty sure I mentioned it before It was in Field amp Stream or one of those It’s still the best ‘on-air guy’ cartoon I’ve ever seen” – Rich Brother Robbin Eagle Eye “Loved the riff on the Eagles’ presence on a corner in Winslow Arizona Like they say in Daily Variety: Boffo!!” – Warren Cereghino School Shooting Coverage “I generally listen to 790 KABC while getting ready for work and they broke in with the news of the school shooting at about 7:55 am They discussed it until 8 am when the hourly news came on and then stayed with it after the news report was finished I got into my car at about 8:12 and started to hit my presets to see what coverage was going on I hit 640 KFI to see what they were saying about it but Bill Handel was interviewing someone about the high cost of building permits I punched 570 KLAC and they were talking sports I hit 1260 K-SURF and they were playing Oldies I hit KNX 1070 and they were in a commercial I hit 870 KRLA and they were covering the shooting Back to KABC and they were still covering the shooting I hit KFI again and they were in commercial Back to KNX and they were in another commercial Back to KRLA and they were now in commercial Back to KABC and they were still covering Back to KFI and they were now covering Back to KNX and now they were covering the shooting When do you throw out the commercials and just stay with a breaking story Just wondering” – Gary Gibson Mort Sahl at KOST “We’ve corresponded before but it’s been a while I worked in the 1960s at KLON-Long Beach when it was still the station of the public schools and then when it was first turned over to CSULB for Jazz I then left radio I have a KOST program from 1970 part of their Public Service obligation called Confrontation hosted by ‘Ben Thumb’ and ‘Dick Trubo’ phonetically spelled here It is an interview with Mort Sahl I am about to post it to YouTube but I wanted to know if you have any knowledge of those two hosts and whether I have their names spelled correctly If either of those gentlemen is known to you could you let me know I’d appreciate it Thanks for all your work on behalf of LA Radio I still have my hard copy of Los Angeles Radio People and love leafing through it to re-live ‘old times’” – Bruce Tennant 5626665811 oscarlevantgmailcom Rita Wilde and CW West Get Downes for First Podcast Confessional November 15 2019 If you are into radio and records – and why else would you be here this morning – there is a new podcast debuting this week that you should put on your must-listen list Rita Wilde veteran of KEZY KLOS and KSWD The Sound is a Southern California broadcast legend She has teamed with CW West they worked together at KLOS to host “Rock and Roll Confessional” Why a podcast now “First off we have been very good friends since day one working at KLOS way back in the early 80s We clicked Not only for the love of music but we both have a very warped sense of humor A year ago I approached Rita to host a podcast Rita’s answer was ‘only if you co-host with me’” said CW “Secondly a podcast doesn’t take a corporate world to run right now it’s just the two of us We have all seen how corporations take over and make it about the shareholders This is our world now we get to choose every aspect of what the presentation will be Right now it is raw but we are learning the process as we go” said the pair The first show is up and available Their guest is Steve Downes between Rita and CW Rock veteran at KWST beginning in 1978 and later on KEZY KLOS and KLSX “We are going through our roster of friends and those who we worked with over the past 30 years But we are also reaching out to people that we haven’t worked with – people we’re dying to talk with and find out more about” continued Rita and CW They have two goals for this podcast “Number one is to inform the listeners about the music industry This podcast is for music fans Whether you are a fan that wants to know more about the industry or a fan from the industry we welcome anyone who loves rock music We want our guests to share what they went through while they were in the music business Our guests will be from all walks of this life Everyone from promoters managers roadies photographers music publishing and yes bands” Rita and CW feel that everybody has a story “But there hasn’t always been an outlet for those stories Because of our podcast format those stories can be told – and there are a lot of incredible people waiting to share their anecdotes” From a technical point Wilde and West go to the guests “Wherever they are The nice thing about this day and age is that we can travel with an entire studio on our back We use a Zoom H6 six track portable recorder and a few microphones Since we are portable it’s much easier for a guest to say ‘yes’ We can meet at a conference room management office house or as Rita has mentioned plenty of times Starbucks!” When will the pair see revenue for these podcasts “I’d like to see revenue right now But I know like anything else we have to build up to it Right now we are asking for listeners to join as members on Patreon As little as a buck a month but as much as they like This isn’t required to listen to the podcast but it is a way for listeners who have the same passion for music that we do to give a little something back Those who appreciate the effort to put this together can contribute Believe me there is a huge effort involved in bringing this show forward to our listeners” CW said that one of the challenges that they’ve had to overcome has been technical “Learning to use the recording equipment editing the show and building a website have all been huge challenges It is ALL new Marketing a podcast isn’t done the same way promotions were done in radio 30 years ago But every day is a new day that we learn more I’m sure in a year the early shows will sound a little less professional But it will still be great content” Steve was a perfect guest for the launch podcast He grew up in Columbus Ohio and graduated with a BA from the University of Dayton He began his radio career in Ohio in 1969 at one of the Midwest’s first progressive rock stations “The first couple of radio stations I worked for were free-form” he told Rita and CW “You walked in with a bunch of albums under one arm and a joint in your hand Boom Let it go We had a blast” Steve was at the college station that actually sold commercials “Everyone was a student You really got a good education I made a buck twenty-five an hour” He revealed to the podcasters the slogan for his Athens Ohio station: “’We’re the only station town’” because we were the only station in town You were listening go us or white noise Our ratings were tremendous” In 1974 he became pd of WYDD-Pittsburgh Later he was operations director of KWST in 1979 Steve remembered that rock ’n roll was king in the 80s with four Album Rock stations: KLOS KMET KWST and KROQ He spent the better part of a decade at KLOS He shares some behind the scene stories from his days at KLOS “Carey Curelop KLOS pd didn’t have the balls to fire me” said Steve The podcast reveals all and who-done-it In the mid-1980s for a half-decade Steve was the voice for many of the top syndicated rock shows produced by the Westwood Radio Network including “The Superstar Concert Series” “The Rock Chronicles” and “Rock and Roll Never Forgets” In 1986 he was flown to Japan to do a series of radio shows for “FM Yokohama” which was a new radio station “In 1991 I was seeking a change in lifestyle and a desire to return to radio management and accepted a position of pd and afternoon drive at WRXK-Fort Myers “96K” No sooner had I unpacked my bags on tranquil Sanibel Island that I was asked to transfer to WYNF-Tampa as pd” He was lured back to the Southland in late 1993 to host “Rockline” He then joined afternoon drive at KLSX “Classic Rock” in the spring of 1994 but left before the year was out Steve started morning drive at KTYD-Santa Barbara in early 1995 before moving in the fall of 1997 for WLUP-Chicago In 2001 Steve segued to WDRV “The Drive”-Chicago for the next 15 years Steve is the now voice of Master Chief in the enormously popular Halo video games He worked with some of the great AOR personalities like Bob Coburn Joe Benson Geno Michellini China Smith Raechel Donahue JJ Jackson and Phil Hendrie In this podcast Steve reveals how he got involved with the iconic Rockline program Rita and CW have been marketing the podcast through social media “Facebook and Instagram right now This is one of the areas that has been a challenge for us Like most people we skim around Facebook with our own built-in audience But now we are looking for an expanded audience so it is a new learning curve for both of us Honestly don’t put it past us to be passing out stickers at an upcoming concert A fascinating listen to Steve Downes Rita a program director herself at KLOS asked Downes what is the job of program director He responded with a laugh “Putting up with ass-hole disc jockeys day in day out” The podcast is scheduled to be released every two weeks on Apple Podcast Spotify and many other platforms Hear Ache November 14 2019 He’s still a classic rock pd just with Sirius XM Classic Rock program director Bob Buchmann has a new gig He’s joining SiriusXM as Director of Music Programming for the Classic Vinyl channel He will be based locally in Hollywood Bob was pd at KLOS for almost three years and for the past seven years he was operations director and afternooner at Classic Rock KGB-San Diego … In the category of “what the hell is going on” Ben amp Jerry’s has been sued over claim that their milk for their products come from ‘happy cows’ … As KPCC makes personnel cuts the new station president/ceo Herb Scannell is apparently moving toward more on-line and podcasting … Bob Lefsetz in his tasty newsletter copied the ten items that Lee Abrams wrote about in his essay on the future of radio Lefsetz commented at the end: “Radio is in an undeniable position of strength in terms of accessibility but as a fan of the medium it has the potential for long term extinction in its current form” … Ken Davis author of In Bed with Broadcasting was inducted into the John Muir High School Pasadena distinguished alumni Hall of Fame “I recently toured their brand new 3-million-dollar broadcasting facility and wait for itsome of the kids want to get into radio!” … The folks at 870/KRLA may have “The Answer” They continue to serve their audience well taking advantage of their hosts interacting with their listeners “We had 1700 folks at the Pasadena Convention Center for our 2019 TownHall to hear Dennis Prager Mark Levin Dr Sebastian Gorka and Larry Elder Great success” said Bob Hastings director of integrated marketing “We also had two events for author Michelle Malkin one in Fullerton 300 in attendance and one in Riverside 360 … Isabel “Isa” Gonzalez has joined Meruelo as Content and Brand Director for Spanish CHR station “CALI 939” KLLI She was most recently at Univision Radio where she was Senior Content Director and Music Specialist for KLVE KRCD and a group of other Spanish language stations for the past 9 years … NPR’s flagship ‘Morning Edition’ celebrates its 40th anniversary The program made its debut with Bob Edwards pulled from All These Considered in the afternoons for the earlier hours … KNX’s Rob Archer is excited about the response to his first collection of short stories Nothing Tells You the Truth Like the Past: a thumb-drive of stories … For the 10th year in a row The Steve Harvey Morning Show and Premiere Networks will give away thousands of turkeys as part of the Steve’s Annual Turkey Give Affiliates of the award-winning morning radio show including KJLH will provide 8000 turkeys to help those less fortunate celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday Since the Turkey Give was launched in 2009 nearly 80000 turkeys have been given to those in need … Bryan Simmons read the story about Bill Dudley’s record store and just bought a rare Elton John poster from Bill “I shipped it to the radio station he is programming in Albuquerque New Mexico” emailed Bill Tommy Edwards set to retire Another Pivot for KTWV’s Bill Dudley November 13 2019 Bill Dudley of KTWV is truly an entrepreneur Bill has worked virtually all shifts at the WAVE including the signature Sunday Brunch Before arriving in the Southland he owned several record stores in Portland from 1980 until 1999 when he sold them to become part of the WAVE “When my hours got cut at CBS Radio 3 years ago I decided to re-open the store” Dudley’s Records Vintage Vinyl located at 4633 Torrance Blvd in Torrance just celebrated its second anniversary The store sells thousands of records CDs cassettes posters T-shirts and other music related merchandise “My neighbor Jesse who I had known since he was a little kid was the perfect choice to join the new store Jesse is an encyclopedia of musical knowledge from the 1960s on up and he wasn’t even born until 1997” Bill grew up in Palo Alto He was sent to a military boarding school known as the Palo Alto Military Academy “The kids attending ages 6-14 were required to wear a complete military uniform every day This included starched shirts with tie and dress jacket We had to spit-shine our leather shoes and stand in military formation prior to every meal My father passed away when I was nine and my mother thought that I needed a good education and proper discipline I was completely lost at this school during the first of my five years there My only friend became the radio Top 40 Radio KEWB and KYA in the Bay Area to be specific The songs and deejays of that era including Bobby Dale Tom Donahue Tommy Saunders Emperor Gene Nelson and Russ The Moose Syracuse navigated me through some very lonely times The radio was my only contact with the outside world” “As time went on another kid showed up at the school that also seemed sorta out of place his name was Steve Tolen Bill continued “He also listened to the radio and soon we were making our own early reel to reel demo tapes Steve was the newsman and I was the dj Several years later after we graduated one of our teachers liked us so much he hired us to work at his summer camp in Northern California On our first day off we hitch-hiked into the first small town we could find – Quincy That day we met the fire chief mortician ambulance driver and owner of the local radio station and all one person Andy Anderson” Photo: Dudley’s Records Vintage Vinyl owner Bill Dudley and clerks Jesse Chavez-Gallella and Alex Sanford Credit: Michael Hixon of the Beach Reporter The next summer Steve was driving the ambulance while Bill was working at the radio station Steve became a very successful health care professional and still lived in that same small town until one week before we opened the new store in 2017 when he passed away Steve’s son Steve Jr his wife and grandson just visited the store earlier this week Bill is still doing the Sunday Brunch at Spaghettini in Seal Beach on a regular basis Bill says What originally looked like a scary situation back in fifth grade actually turned out to be a very good thing My life was greatly influenced by going to that private school The two best teachers I ever had in my life were employed there one of which indirectly got me into radio I still reflect on the importance of hearing the radio and having it help me thru my early years of uncertaintyBill continued: My record store has always been and still is a similar hangout for younger people who appreciate

off the highway may lead you to an entirely different place This photo was taken on the second anniversary of the new Dudley’s “The clock behind us was the original clock we had in the first store circa 1980 We even still have the same phone number that is on the clock with a different area code” At the second Anniversary weekend many of Bill’s regular customers showed up to celebrate “I’m proud to announce that Dudley’s always has been and still is a great place to hang out for music fans of all ages that just may feel at home with us The store is important to people and makes me feel like I have done something right helping make some folks lives just a little bit better I also recently heard from a guy who was a customer at the Portland store way back in 1985 – 1991 It was a big part of his childhood His name is Reid Van Ness now in his late 40s Reid remembers the original pink bags we had with the Dudley cartoon on them that were such a big part of his childhood I just sent him several business cards from that era The store is kind of like ‘Floyd’s Barber Shop’ on the Andy Griffith Show Lots of younger people are also supporting the new store and unlike many record stores in this area we also have a large array of FEMALE customers It must be our good looks!” “My store has been visited by many LARP including Talaya Trigueros Barbara Blake Lawrence Tanter Maggie

1192019 Great Lee Abrams Essay “Thanks for the great article by Lee Abrams Excellent advice and opinions well stated This comes from the very same guy that inspired us out at KCAL/fm in San Bernardino in the late 1970s to flip our radio station overnight from soft AC to full-time Album Rock Burkhart-Abrams weren’t our consultants We had never even met the guys But we certainly knew what they were doing and it was getting a lot of buzz on the street and huge ratings in the books As one of my former general managers once told me ‘I read a lot and I surround myself with smart and creative people that have the vision for something better They’re the ones that make me look good every day’” – Ted Ziegenbusch Sky’s the Limit “I was blessed to be mentored by this man I am grateful for what we achieved together Radio could benefit from Lee Abram’s perspective” – Sky Daniels Generic Radio “Lee Abrams is ready to kick butt or at least have the radio industry do so He is right that radio has become generic It sounds the same anywhere one can go and tune in Broadcasters are afraid to being different or sounding different Because of my dissatisfaction of commercial radio I turn more and more to public or noncommercial radio providers who don’t yell at me or try to get me to think a certain way I listen not only to NPR but to the local hosts on KCRW and KPCC I enjoy the nightly music programs offered as the djs have a more open hand to selecting their artists and don’t have to follow the edicts of a faceless person thousands of miles away Lee Abrams is right to say radio needs to be shaken up I just hope radio picks the right formula and gets the gonads to engage its audience and do it promptly” – Dan Ramos Joshua Tree Back to the Basics “The Lee Abrams ‘back to the basics’ reference reminded me of an early KGB jock meeting when Buzz Bennett made it clear he didn’t want backsells longer than ten seconds period Chuck Browning asked if there were any exceptions Buzz replied ‘sure but if your rap goes over ten seconds it better fuckin’ kill me’ That’s still seared into my memory” – Rich Brother Robbin Blake’s Take “I love this Lee Abrams essay Thanks for printing it in an easy to read email…good for saving” – Barbara Blake CitizenPlanetcom Content is the Product “Wow Lee Abrams understands Having spent a little time in radio I remember the talent that made me want to be on radio It always seemed like magic to me I was never captured by jingles or hyped formats I was captured by humans on the air who said things that resonated with me at the start of my day or in the dark of my bedroom as the comfort of a distant friend filled my room Content is the product It’s what flows out of the speaker from the person on the air It’s the product that can be sold by talented businessmen It’s a dance a partnership The most successful radio is when management allows talent to grow without fear or rules that a consultant insists worked in Scranton Howard Stern Rush you want to make big money mentor that” – Larry Van Nuys Agree with Abrams “Yes! Yes! Yes! Just a few days ago I said to a few ex-radio friends ‘radio has not changed since the 70s’ Same style same liners same tired rules but duller Thank you for this” – Stan Campbell ex-KLAC Guy Brockville Ontario Abrams with a Dose of Reality “Very nice article Every time I deviated from the ‘format’ in the slightest way the phone would ring Or the station owner’s wife calling and telling you to break that last record and put it on her desk How can anybody run a business like that You don’t I always tried to be creative nobody wanted it” – Bob Hughes Back to Reality with Abrams “In stating the obvious Lee Abrams brought us back to reality Yes radio hasn’t changed in 40 years Imagine 40 years ago if stations were programmed like it was 1939 Instead of playing Top 40 hits at KFXM I’d be running the board for network shows like Jack Benny and Fibber McGee amp Molly YIKES!” – Neil Young Early Boss Jock “Is it possible Will Rogers was the original Boss Jock” – Gary Mack Kevin amp Bean End “I never heard these gentlemen but it’s obvious they were great I found a real respect and appreciation for Bean when I read that he had donated a kidney to a person in need That’s class” – Mike Butts Demetriou Riveting “Great riveting stuff from Pete Demetriou!” – Bob Sirkin Demetriou Live “I happened to be listening to KNX when Pete Demetriou gave his live report To say that this was the best radio I had ever heard would be a vast understatement It was scary and like watching an accident on the freeway I could not turn off the radio I was shaken for the rest of the day Thank goodness Mr Demetriou and the many others are fine!” – Sterrett Harper President Harper Claims Service Inc Burbank College Buddy “Pete Demetriou was actually my companion at UCLA radio I was the morning man he was the news guy Who knew I’m very proud of the work he does and how consistently good he continues to be Most don’t know how truly funny Pete is and one day one Strange Day I will reveal all!” – Ed Mann KNX Drama Hour End “Wow my email lit up this week You should be happy to know you have such reach Let me clear something up the press release about the Drama Hour was a Sales piece We were selling to the LA Times OC Register and any local tv coverage not to radio insiders Radio insiders should know that after consolidation ‘It’s not the money it’s the money’ 60 Minutes fit 1930’s radio programs did not” – Pat Duffy Ron Treated Fairly “Was reading the website and noticed your item on Ron Fairly who just passed away You forgot to mention that he worked at KTLA Channel 5 as weekend sportscaster when his playing days were over I know this as I worked with Ron when I started as an intern in the Sports Department in November 1981 He did the weekends during the baseball off season One-time former Kansas City shortstop Freddie Patek paid a visit to see what went into sportscasting as Freddie was thinking about getting into the tv business Ron was just a classic act He was also teaching me about putting together a sports highlight package and writing copy Just a great all-around person” – Charles Glazer Toluca Lake Former KTLA Channel 5 Sports Associate 1982-85 interned 1981-82 Roll Tape “What is this ‘tape’ thing you wrote about on Tuesday Duct scotch or cellophane” – Chris Carmichael Aircheck Collection “I used to aircheck format changes They are all on audio cassette in storage Not sure what I am going to do with them I know I have the birth of KLSX when it was Classic Rock I think I have the end of KRLA the last Huggy Boy show” – David Schwartz Golden Age of Radio “I enjoyed reading the 2003 article about KNX dropping its Drama Hour which also presented some comedy shows ‘The Jack Benny Program’ along with dramas such as Box 13 with Alan Ladd The Six Shooter with James Stewart and The Lone Ranger Close to 30 years ago I interviewed Charlie Michelson who syndicated those shows to KNX and was responsible in large part for ‘kids’ like me born in the late ’50s becoming fans of ‘Golden Age Radio’ in the ’60s More about him is at Charles Michelson Memorial – Lobitos Creek RanchThere’s still at least one ‘drama hour’ on Southern California radio Since October 1982 I have hosted and produced Forward into the Past for KSPC/fm 887 the Pomona College station It airs from 2 to 5 pm on Sunday afternoons During the first and third hour I present great records from the 1920s ’30s and ’40s – jazz and hot dance bands big-band swing comedy records show tunes and soundtracks and even the occasional vintage blues or country disc I have a barn in my back yard which houses 30000 78s LPs and CDs of music from this era The middle hour is taken up with great old-time radio shows usually one half-hour comedy program and another 30-minute drama Listeners who miss the KNX hour can ‘return to those thrilling days of yesteryear’ for at least one hour every Sunday on KSPC In addition my radio partner Roger Allen and I present an hour of new radio comedy with The Sunset Review in which we bravely attempt to make sense of the goings-on in Merkis Palms the town that time remembers but people forget That show starts at 1 pm on Sundays and has been on KSPC since 1988 I play about 60 characters on the show including culture maven Walter Withersgap astrologer Lola Nebula rambunctious six-year-old Billy Furtively consumer advocate Lolo Price town ‘historian’ and chief gossip-monger Percival Heavens and commodities market reporter Buellton Bullbear KSPC’s programming can be reached on the internet at http://wwwkspcorg Thank you again

Back in the olden days these types of stores were referred to as Army/Navy Army Surplus or War Surplus Stores My initiation to surplus stores was CampH Sales in Pasadena CampH almost had it all optics electronics electromechanical test equipment The other stores I frequented were Joe Factor Sales in Burbank now Luky’s Hardware electronics hydraulic hoses hardware Apex Electronics in Sun Valley electronics hardware test equipment cable and Surplus City in Sun Valley vehicles tents clothing Apex and Luky’s are still in business In the 90s when Joe Factor began telling his customers he is going to give it up soon I took that to heart I began visiting his store at least once and at times twice a month up until he finally closed his doors for the last time I checked all the nooks and crannies making sure I’d overlooked nothing On one of these last adventures to Joe’s I came across a box of coil cables kinda like a coil cable on a David Clark aviation headset and bought them straight away Years later 25 actually I finally got around to checking closely that box of coil cables I’d purchased decades before As it turned out I’d purchased surplus NASA equipment The markings on one cable in particular came as quite a surprise This image should tell the rest of the story Cheers” – Kirk Phillips Voice King at 28 “Some months back you ran a story on LA sports voices and I wrote to keep an ear on Alex Faust the new LA Kings pxp tv guy So far he hasn’t disappointed This article analyzes a few of the new hockey voices including Faust I hope you’ll pass it on” – Larry

at the studio After the usual 20-second wait for the vacuum tubes to warm up out of the speaker comes ELO’s Evil Woman courtesy of K-SURF I always had a soft spot for Jeff Lynne and Co but there’s also just something about hearing a 44-year-old favorite coming from a 61-year-old receiver With a smile on my face I turned up the radio and headed to The Shop” – Bruce Barker RIPBean November 8 2019 “I am leaving the show at the end of the year to move back home to England the ninth largest island in the world” Bean of the KROQ Kevin amp Bean Show announced on social media earlier this year And for almost a year it has been the long goodbye for Bean which officially ended yesterday with a show filled the conciliation humor and the realization that one of the BEST morning shows ever would be no longer The ripbean hashtag created much confusion on Twitter from those who thought Mr Bean the British comedian had died Many people got their start with Kevin amp Bean – Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla among them Our lives have been enriched by their familiar comedy with regular players and guests over 30 years Other morning teams were popular over the years but no one lasted longer than Gene “Bean” Baxter and Kevin Ryder Lohman amp Barkley stayed together as a morning team for 25 years but Roger Barkley said the last three years together was “painful” Like marriages sometimes they end badly Roger just walked out one day and that was it Mark Wallengren and Kim Amidon lasted 22 years in the morning slot at KOST Mark amp Brian were together at KLOS for almost 25 years By comparison Kevin amp Bean survived together in wake-up mornings a few days shy of 30 years Tonight the pair get inducted into National Radio Hall of Fame On the final show yesterday morning Bean said he hopes the show continues forever He told long-time friend to the show and KROQ Loveline co-host Dr Drew Pinsky asked why he sounded so happy “I am actually happy” said Bean “People expect me to be sad because I’m leaving the greatest job Although I will miss it I’m really focused on the future and I’m really excited about the next chapter In six months I may call and say I made the biggest mistake of my career” Kevin quipped “Don’t call We’ll be good” Bean added “I know I can’t come back I know the door is shut behind me but I am excited about my next chapter” Crosstown rival classic Rock KLOS wished Bean well and congratulations on 30 years Ralph Garman long-time part of the Kevin amp Bean supporting team was afraid he was persona non gratis but he did appear on the show “It felt so good to catch up with you” Ralph wrote “An end to an era Congrats to Bean Baxter on a spectacular 30-year run I’m so glad I was a little part of that Mostly because I learned so much about broadcasting by working with Bean A true pro Best of luck in your next adventure” KTLA did a nice farewell piece when Green Day performed recently You can see it here The LA Times published an in-depth piece on the pair hereBean received many other tributes from both fellow LARPs and listeners KROQ’s Nicole Alvarez said “Bean forever!” Listener Juan Frausto posted on Twitter how much the KROQ show meant to him: “I started listening in 1994 I had moved to a new school in a new town I left all my friends behind but these two felt like friends since the beginning” Eddie Mann formerly with KIIS and KBIG: “Hard to believe that Kevin and Bean are no more Some of the most inventive radio I’ve ever heard Met them both separately at their previous radio gigs total pros and saw Adam and Jimmy at Premiere many times thinking that they had the best gigs on earth working the World Famous KROQ with this free-wheeling morning show For those not in radio the freedom they had was unique Just about anything went on the air and they were so honest The show will go on with Kevin but it won’t be the same Bon voyage! kroq ripbean kevinandbeanComedian Brad Williams acknowledged the end of an era “Thank you for your kindness humor and remarkable ability to be rich but still eat like crap” KROQ afternooner Ted Stryker wrote: “Damn really feeling the sadness that clydetombaugh is about to sign off What a run! That being said thekevinryder alliemackay and JensenKarp so excited to hear you guys build this thing!” Long-time KROQ middayer Tami Heide: “Wishing Gene ‘Bean’ Baxter the best in his new adventures in England! Bean you have always been an outstanding funny intelligent radio host And the fact that you could be used for parts and donated a kidney to dear departed Scott Mason just puts you in the stratosphere of amazing humans! Thank you for your kindness over the years Bean thank you for your service to KROQ and Los Angeles and listeners everywhere You are truly remarkable Thank you and carry on!” Todd Wilson former iHeart technical director: “A lot of words have come into my head and my heart thinking about this day but none really capture what the last day of The Kevin and Bean Show means to me Literally they are the reason my life is where it is today They inspired me to pursue broadcasting which sent me to ASU which is where I met Stacy the love of my life who gave me my two amazing children” KROQer Kat Corbett: “When I joined the on-air staff kroq it was intimidating as fuck and I was overwhelmed with insecurities I didn’t know Bean Had never met him One weekend he came into the studio and told me he was so happy I was there It changed everything Generous both on and off the mic there’s a long list I could write about his contributions and support of others – he donated a kidney He’s an incredible interviewer makes me laugh like hell and a good sport A sweet husband and friend to animals When he signs off at KROQ I’ll just tell myself he’s on another one of his wacky vacations visiting post offices or weird museums until he resurfaces somewhere in the UK Any show would be lucky to have him After years of waking up at an ungodly hour sleep Bean sleep Relax Recharge And tackle your next challenge with all the wit and weird skills you possess I love you I’m wishing you and Donna Mendivil Baxter all the best on your new adventure” The on-air guests started with long-time newsman Doc on the ROQ Boyd R Britton All the guests were perfect Even Jim “Poorman” Trenton who had been fired 26 years ago over an incident involving Bean called in In his introduction of Poorman Bean referred to him as being “on the Mount Rushmore of KROQ personalities” and “one of the greats who helped build this radio station into the icon it is today He did not leave under great circumstances though” There were tense moments during Poorman’s phone call as Bean rehashed the reasons for the friction Said Poorman: “You should have enjoyed the birthday party I had my birthday party on your front lawn That’s how I got fired I brought 500 KROQ listeners a couple of birthday cakes Rodney on the ROQ We just wanted to have a party with you and you should have enjoyed the birthday party in the middle of the night in Hancock Park I just wondered why you didn’t have fun” Bean responded: “There were fires People set fire to the front lawn Somebody drove by the next day and threw a brick through the front window of my house These were your people I’m not saying that that was your intention They kind of looked at you being mad at me and thought they were going to get even with me And I mean I literally had to move We had to pack up and move out of that house as a result of what you did on the radio that night It still ended up with 500 listeners on my lawn Oh by the way they also got into the fuse box and turned off the power to my house while you guys were out there as well So we’re inside and people are banging on the doors and banging on the windows trying to get me to come out We’re sitting there in pitch-black darkness having no idea what was going to happen It was honestly one of the most terrifying things that we’ve ever lived through” “But here’s the thing okay — and I agree I should have not taken 500 listeners there Poorman responded And I lost 180 grand a year in salary and my gig at KROQ which in the end you’ve gotta think that was pretty stupid of me right” “But Poorman just for context here weren’t you fired at KIIS/fm weren’t you fired at Star 987 weren’t you fired at Power 106” Kevin added rhetorically “You’ve been fired at almost every radio station you’ve ever worked at you’ve been fired for doing something dumb I mean you kind of have a history of making poor choices” Yet at the end “I thought that it was nice that Poorman made the effort” Bean being very gracious Stacie Seifrit Griffin was part of the KROQ marketing team for the morning show: “Bean and I have been friends since the mid-80s when we both worked in DC radio I was lucky to work with Kevin amp Bean at KROQ for about 10 years It was a very special place to be Much love and best of luck to everyone” Listener Dr Washington was expecting some Foo Fighters song or Good Riddance by Green Day as the final song “I lost it when they played Goodbye Goodbye by Oingo Boingo” This was last song the duo played on New Years Eve 1989 leading up to the new year and the new decade They thought it would be appropriate on the farewell show yesterday At the end of the show Carolla and Kimmel joined the duo “There is no Kevin amp Bean without the supporting cast “You guys were a major major part This show doesn’t fly without great people working with us It was never just about us” Bean said Originally Bean wanted to do a last show without telling anyone it was his last show “Can I just say that I was wrong — this is really fun Having everybody calling in and the boys in the studio I’m having a good time today” Bean was so inspirational at the end of the broadcast If there were issues between his partner of three decades and him you would never have known it “Kevin and I love and respect each other We always have and we both know how lucky we are to have hooked up” Who Was That Masked Man November 7 2019 Dr Drew Pinsky may be the most diversified and eclectic LARP ever! EVER From Lovelines in 1984 Dr Drew has captured the spotlight leading to his own tv shows guest appearances on variety programs commercials and being an expert on addiction medicine His proficiency has led to many high profile interviews Just Google his name and be amazed at his diversity He hosts a daily noon to 3 pm Talk show on KABC 790 AM But this is a story about a masked man probably least expected by his many fans When Dr Drew took off his Eagle mask recently on the Fox tv show The Masked Singer my first reaction was “You’re kidding me” It was Dr Drew! How in the world did he get this gig “I was giving my UTA agent some grief about something” Dr said by phone this week “For instance you should get me on a show like The Masked Singer Next day I was on the show” Few people know that he once considered a career in opera His mother was a professional singer “When I was a kid I used to have a very strong voice I thought if I’m ever going to sing in public as I’m losing my abilities slowly I better get on it now” he said Dr Drew explained the complex and intricate behind the scenes to The Masked Singer “Great production It is one of the most complicated I’ve ever seen They are so many different layers and so many different teams so many different things you can’t keep track of everything Think of each performance with the lighting the fireworks the dancer the choreography the rehearsal the costumes music direction the vocal coaching and everyone of those performers has a crazy amount of input” The component is secrecy of the celebrity performer Great lengths are taken to keep everyone’s identity blinded from everyone “You leave your house in the morning Every piece of you is covered up They don’t want anyone to see your skin tone body type and your face is covered with a big shield You are not allowed to speak until someone comes to your trailer and brings you to the stage and you sing” Dr Drew knew judges Ken Jeong and Jenny McCarthy so he was concerned they would guess him right away “I knew Ken Jeong when he was still practicing medicine I used to have him sit in for me on the radio He filled in on Loveline My engineer liked his comedy we reached out and had him as a guest I could see how talented he was so I had him fill-in for me on Loveline before Hangover and before anyone knew who he was” During the show there was a 10-minute segment that was distilled down to one-minute and was not part of the final show “The judges were up there guessing and all of a sudden Jeong suddenly says ‘I know who you are You have a Talk show and you used to ask me to fill in for the talk show’ I literally froze and said to myself ‘oh my God he’s gonna get this’ Jeong blurts out ‘You’re pause Craig Ferguson’” Apparently Jenny got really close “She a radio person at heart” Dr Drew said “guessing Adam Carolla” Dr Drew was a little exasperated when he took off his Eagle mask “She came all the way to Adam Carolla That’s why I look so frustrated when I take the head off ‘Come on Jenny you get to Adam and then can’t extrapolate to me’” The first collection of short stories by KNX’s Robert G Archer

Kliger commended the work of KNX reporter Pete Demetriou “On the one hand it was live radio at its best On the other I’m sure I’m not the only one who was afraid for Demetriou’s life as he spoke” said Kliger Demetriou himself recalled details exclusively for LARadiocom while he was in Pittsburgh over the weekend Simply put “it was number 11 pucker factor” “I was on the leading edge of the fire west-southwest of the 23 freeway – a concern the fire would cross the freeway and affect homes” said Demetriou The flames crested a hill within five minutes before covering the entire hill “within 30 to 40 seconds” There were five or six engine companies on the site prepared to battle the fire “No one could have guessed what was going to happen next The flames hit some nearby pepper trees leading to a wall of flames 90 to 100 feet high That tends to elevate the temperature” said Demetriou “I was outside the truck holding onto the roof rack through sustained winds of 15 to 25 miles per hour When the firestorm came in the winds increased to 40 to 50 miles per hour…the truck was rocking back-and-forth two or three inches” He also noted how the fire created its own wind intensifying the heat It became obvious Demetriou would need to get into his truck for safety “And the Fire Department PIO jumped in 12 seconds after I did” he said Twelve thousand gallons of Foscheck a fire retardant was dumped off of DC10 aircraft but Demetriou said he only met with a moderate amount “By comparison all three CNN vehicles got hit directly – the vans were covered about one-quarter inch deep in pink Foscheck” After that the fire did jump the road The blaze was met with Ericsson Skycranes dumping 2000 gallons of water while the Blackhawks were dousing the fire with 1000 gallons of water “Aircraft was flying low maybe as low as 150 feet The blast from the helicopter blew away any smoke – that’s how low the aircraft were attacking the flames” “Even when you have experience you think you have enough space or are in the protected zone Mother Nature can throw you a curve ball” Demetriou commended the courageousness of the firefighters “who are entering a battle” as first responders “In the past couple of weeks there have been seven fires breaking” with firefighters offering complete and unrestrained effort at each incident “as if they were face to face with the Devil” Asked about whether he learned anything from a hazardous calamity which could have potentially turned tragic Demetriou said “I follow the Joe Hyams rules for reporters The first is if you can’t file your story with the media outlet you work for you’re useless Rule number two is if you’re dead you’re perfectly useless So do not get dead” You’ll never guess what Bob Eubanks is up to these days Bob was a KRLA

actually complained because they put it on to put their residents to sleep Besides the Drama Hour we pulled off the racing calls again the audience was too old And I agree with everyone that KNX was and is running way too many spots I said that many times to all my bosses the only way to cut the spot load would be to get a younger audience and charge more for the spots Selling 65 demos is not easy” … Phil Hulett is celebrating 40 years with his college sweetheart Congratulations … Brazil is the 2 country for podcasting in the world according to PodNews Spotify hosted a podcasters summit in

comments about Pete Demetriou During my K-Earth days I’d run into Pete just about every morning in the Wilshire Blvd parking structure He always had a story whether it related to what he was covering or just a yarn that he had uncovered over the years He didn’t know me from Adam but after the first week I felt like we were old friends Still feel that way hearing his reports on the air He’s one of the best story tellers the world has ever known” – Dave Mason Pete the Best “Pete Demetriou continues to be THE BEST radio news reporter in SOCAL and one of the very best on air across the nation!” – Bob Sirkin Lucky to Have Demetriou “Just want to say that Pete Demetriou is one of the best most professional broadcast journalists I’ve ever met I still remember more than 25 years later his field reporting during the Northridge earthquake He made a big contribution to the public’s awareness of what had happened and the aftermath of same and he did it without any hint of apprehension or fear in his voice We are incredibly lucky to have him here in LA” – KM Richards Priceless “Are you getting residuals for these” – Norm Garr Trip Down Radio Dial “Someone really needs to get you an fm radio Lol” – Rob Frazier KRTH’s Success “I think the greatest innovation Chris Ebbott has made was building on Jhani Kaye’s bringing the core music library into the 1980s I did a quick check of their airplay and the most titles with plays of at least twice a day are from between 1982 and 1985 now Chris is also playing a lot of songs from the 1990s mostly at night but for the most part he only plays any given title once before resting it for several weeks I think that’s smart of him because his audience is likely to be younger at night and he’s giving those listeners the incentive with the newer songs but isn’t overplaying any of them Maybe ten years from now the core will be in the early 1990s and the nighttime accents will be from the early 2000s oh wait I heard No Doubt’s remake of Talk Talk’’s Just My Life recently That one is from 2003 so I guess it won’t take ten years after all!” – KM Richards 1 “Just read today’s LARP post In my opinion the latest ratings reflect the sorry state of ‘music’ today The number one station in town plays Oldies!” – Neil Ross Amazing Boss “Thank you for the incredibly kind words about K-EARTH!!!! We have such an incredible team and an amazing boss in Chris Ebbott and I’m so fortunate to be able to be a part of it And our listeners rock too! :” – Lara Scott Turnage’s Turn “I’ve been in Las Vegas this week for a long overdue vacation This morning while at a restaurant eating breakfast l decided to get caught up on things by reading LARadio from my cell phone What a pleasant surprise to see my name mentioned in your Monday column My gosh thank you so much for the kind words! I am indeed reporting on KABC in the evenings and very much enjoy being on with Peter Tilden Again many thanks And as always thanks for your continued great work on the LARadio website Best to you and

after the 67 Northridge Earthquake struck and when I asked him if he saw the collapsed Santa Monica Freeway just blocks away from the studio Richard said ‘Oh I just drove under it and thought it was a little lower than usual’ – Gary Marshall Fairly on 4 “I’m glad you got it right on Ron Fairly Mike Di Giovanna at the Times didn’t mention Fairly being our weekend sports anchor at Ch 4 when he embarked on his broadcasting career He was easy to work with and a very nice guy” – Warren Cereghino Funny Halloween Bat Gogh was the best Halloween meme I saw this year Thanks for making me laugh on the day after!” – Karen Lindell Equipment Question “I’m still reading all of LARadio every chance I get love it and sad to see many of the greats move on to higher plain I wanted you to know that I never forgot your advice which I should have taken it more seriously Here’s my question During my days at KLSX KRLA as the station was moving from Korea Town to Mid-City they were disposing pretty much everything analog equipment and cassette tapes etc I’ve been cleaning out my storage after 20 years and found 18 recordings of the 3rd hour of Michael Jackson on KRLA It consisted of various topics of the day especially one I came across a segment which he spoke about the Al Gore vs George W Bush race for the president Do you think the Museum of TV amp Radio would be interested them” – Nelson Salsa Fernandez formerly with KRLX KRLA Director of Public Affairs NFernandezrrcclacountygov Signal Coverage “It is impossible to receive many LA stations outside of their coverage areas FM signals are only line-of-sight If you were driving US 101 to go home you would probably lose a lot of signals when you get through the Santa Monica Mountains and descend into Camarillo From there you will be hearing stations from Ventura and Santa Barbara The only two AM stations I can count on to be heard anywhere in Southern California are KFI and KNX Too bad management at the LA stations are messing up with the excessive commercials This will chase away a lot of listeners on-line Congratulations on becoming a grandfather very soon I hope everything will go smoothly with your daughter’s pregnancy Thanks again for a fine column today” – Dan Ramos Joshua Tree Angels Broadcaster Ron Fairly Dies November 1 2019 Ron Fairly the former Dodger and play-by-play announcer for the California

as he spoke As he stood at the edge of the 23 Freeway he said that the temperature had risen from about 70 to about 100 degrees ‘in the last 30 seconds’ Then a few seconds later he said that the temperature had now risen to ‘about 150′ Pete said he was being showered with ash and burning embers as he spoke Seconds later he described a helicopter flying overhead and then said that he was

Alexander Vindman Hits: 10 Left and right unite in denouncing Liberman’s ‘anti-Semitic’ speech November 21st 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman may have failed in his efforts to push for a unity government but on Wednesday he managed to unite lawmakers from right to left — in condemning him Liberman was attacked from all across the political spectrum following a fiery speech in which he blamed both Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Blue and White party chief Benny Gantz for the failure to reach a unity government and ruled out joining a government with either the “anti-Zionist” ultra-Orthodox parties or the “fifth column” Arab lawmakers signaling that Israel was headed for a third election in a year In a dramatic announcement just hours before Gantz’s mandate to form a government ends the right-wing secularist leader announced that he would not support either a minority government headed by Gantz or a right-wing government headed by Netanyahu Get The Times of Israel’s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up “There is no chance We will not join either a narrow right- or left-wing government or a minority government Whatever sort of government that would be it would not survive and would not be able to function to do what is needed for the country” Liberman told the packed Yisrael Beytenu faction room in the Knesset While Liberman has called Arabs “a fifth column” before and drawn criticism for it his attack on the ultra-Orthodox as “anti-Zionist” and part of an anti-Zionist alliance with Arab parties was new His comments were carried live by most major Israeli media outlets including television channels which cut into their normal programming to broadcast the speech Responding to the speech Haredi lawmakers referring to the Yisrael Beytenu leader as “anti-Semitic” and a “czar” and to his speech as a “war crime” and a “horror show” “We don’t need to search for anti-Semitism abroad when Liberman announces a coup and third elections” fumed United Torah Judaism MK Yisrael Eichler “What Liberman said today about the ultra-Orthodox community is a war crime He is using methods of the Russian czar who said ‘Strike at the Jews and save Russia’” Eichler went as far as likening the speech to a 1903 anti-Semitic pogrom in Kishinev — modern day Chisinau in Moldova where Liberman was born — in which 49 Jews were killed more were raped and some 1500 homes were pillaged “That is what they did to the Jews of Kishinev and that is what the Kishinev native is doing today” he charged “A disgraceful ugly horror show… full of lies ignorance and hatred Unfortunately we can say that anti-Semitism has been rediscovered today” said UTJ leader Yaakov Litzman at a faction meeting “What he has said today is disgraceful” “We don’t remember this kind of anti-Semitism in the Knesset ever even from Joint List MK Ahmad Tibi He has done damage to this country and he doesn’t know how to bow out respectfully” MK Moshe Gafni said at the same meeting “He needs to leave politics… he’s a nothing” Tibi who was singled out along with Gafni in Liberman’s comments said the Yisrael Beytenu head’s “incitement against the Arabs and the ultra-Orthodox is pure racism and anti-Semitism We will continue building bridges with the Haredi parties despite the differences of opinion” Labor-Gesher MK Merav Michaeli said Liberman had “upgraded Netanyahu’s concept to ‘minus Arabs and ultra-Orthodox’ Arabs and ultra-Orthodox are part of Israeli society The leaders of both communities should understand that this is the moment for them to cooperate with the liberal forces and form a government without Netanyahu” Likud faction chairman MK Miki Zohar said: “Unfortunately Liberman’s speech takes us to third elections His over-the-top lashing of the ultra-Orthodox slams the door on a right-wing government If there was any chance of a compromise with them that has moved farther away because of his decision to aggressively attack them” However Culture Minister Miri Regev Likud praised Liberman for ruling out a minority government with backing by the Joint List calling on Benny Gantz to renew efforts for a unity government New Right’s Ayelet Shaked said that dragging Israel to third elections is “political madness I hope my fellow political leaders will take responsibility for this crisis there is a solution Everyone needs to compromise a bit” National Union leader Bezalel Smotrich said: “Liberman was and has remained a spin doctor who is only focused on himself” Should Gantz fail to form a coalition by Wednesday at midnight a 21-day period will begin in which 61 Knesset members can support any lawmaker to be prime minister If that doesn’t happen the country will head back to elections

moonlight — when they malfunction — as a source of gushing water for children to splash around and cool off in during the summer Israeli firm HydrantTech aims to stem that deluge though with a smart device it developed for fire hydrants that alerts authorities to leaks water theft or malicious attempts to penetrate a water supply “In Chicago alone some 5 million gallons of water daily” is lost to open fire hydrants or illegal use said Dovik Barkay the CEO of the Ramat Yishai-based firm citing Commissioner Debra Shore of the Metropolitan Reclamation District of Greater Chicago That costs the city some 9 million a year he said Get The Start-Up Israel’s Daily Start-Up by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up The smart metal device developed by HydrantTech screws onto the mouth of a hydrant surrounded by sensors It collects data and sends it to the cloud from where alerts get sent to control systems or to the phones of specific operatives who can go fix the problem The Israeli firm has just started selling its product to water authorities in Haifa Petah Tikva and Tiberias Barkay said and is looking to expand its activities abroad Barkay was displaying his technology at the Watec Israel event being held this week in Tel Aviv attended by thousands of visitors from around the globe including India Peru and the Netherlands who want to tap into water technologies being developed in the so-called Startup Nation Panel and plenary discussions at the event focused on advancements in “smart water” technologies wastewater processing and how big data can be harnessed to bring clean water to everyone By 2025 half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas according to a June 2019 fact sheet by the World Health Organization “Safe and readily available water is important for public health whether it is used for drinking domestic use food production or recreational purposes” the World Health Organization said “Improved water supply and sanitation and better management of water resources can boost countries’ economic growth and can contribute greatly to poverty reduction” At the event on Tuesday Andrew Wheeler head of the US Environmental Protection Agency since February stressed the importance of global partnerships for tackling environmental problems and talked about how the US can learn from Israel in reclaiming wastewater Israel reclaims some 90 percent of its wastewater he said whereas in the US that figure is just 6 “So clearly we have a lot to learn” he said There are some 250 companies developing water technologies and equipment in Israel according to figures provided by the Israel Export Institute and the nation exports some 24 billion annually in water technologies and equipment More than 180 startups operate in the fields of water and wastewater treatment irrigation water systems water network management desalination technologies and water quality detection according to Start-Up Nation Central a non-profit that tracks the industry Israel over 60 of its land being desert has pushed to create technologies to make every drop of water count Today most of its drinking water comes from desalination facilities and it is considered a world leader in all aspects of water management “Our innovation stemmed from necessity” said Adiv Baruch the chairman of the Israel Export Institute in his talk at Watec “We have innovation and we have technologies How do we scale it up and share it with the world” he asked At the exhibition Woosh Water showcased its “smart” water station for schools and public places with water taps providing purified and chilled water to eliminate the use of plastic bottles explained Dani Oren in charge of business development at the firm Each water station contains a purification system and a bottle-cleansing system for reusable bottles The stations are fully computerized and remotely monitored by a control center for 24/7 service The system is being already being sold to municipalities and private entities in the US Oren said Caesarea‐based NUFiltration Ltd showed off its technology which repurposes dialyzers that have reached the end of their lives and uses them as water purification devices for developing countries Lishtot a Jerusalem-based firm founded in 2015 has developed TestDrop a key chain-like device that the company says can detect contaminants in water such as E coli lead arsenic mercury copper and chlorine in just two seconds Jerusalem-based Ayyeka displayed its data-logging black boxes that connect to sensors within water networks to monitor wastewater for illegal discharges or foreign particles like paint and oil that cannot be recycled This aims to make water recycling systems safer and more effective “To recycle wastewater you need to understand its quality” said Isaac Sachs a sales rep of the firm “As a nation how do you monitor your water” he asked “Everyone monitors their heartbeat or their blood pressure Our system sits in any pipe just like an artery Our product is like a Fitbit for water networks” Fitbit is an app and a watch-like device that is used for tracking activity workers and sleep

anti-Semitism morphs bullied Jewish students counter-organize November 21st 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ The Graduate Student Union at University of Toronto wants Jewish students to know it’s sorry On November 18 it was reported that the union — which in 2012 voted to support Boycott Divestment and Sanctions BDS — said it wouldn’t make kosher food available on campus because such food is “pro-Israel” The Toronto graduate student union has since issued an apology which the campus Hillel said fell short of addressing anti-Semitism However the incident was only one of several anti-Semitic events to occur on university campuses in recent weeks The Department of Education announced November 19 that it would investigate alleged anti-Semitic and anti-Israel incidents at Duke University that occurred earlier this year One event Conflict Over Gaza: People Politics and Possibilities was sponsored by the Duke-UNC Middle East Consortium and according to news reports was replete with anti-Israel and anti-Semitic references Get The Times of Israel’s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up On November 14 pro-Israel activist Hen Mazzig gave a presentation at Vassar College in New York on indigenous Jews of the Middle East for the group Vassar Organizing Israel Conversations Effectively VOICE Outside the auditorium nearly 30 students with Students for Justice in Palestine SJP chanted “From the river to the sea Palestine will be free” They chanted so loudly Mazzig had to stop speaking until they left Although their protest didn’t end Mazzig’s talk this kind of rhetoric can sometimes have a chilling effect on Jewish student life “The result is Jewish students shying away from Jewish life on campus or feeling afraid of showing they’re Jewish Jewish students are also afraid of joining clubs on campus because they worry about being singled out” said David Goldenberg regional director of the Anti-Defamation League’s Midwest office These incidents also serve to illustrate the varied types of anti-Semitism Jewish students are experiencing on campuses in the United States and elsewhere said Tammi Rossman-Benjamin AMCHA Initiative’s cofounder and director According to a September 2019 report by AMCHA Initiative a nonpartisan group investigating and combating anti-Semitism on college campuses acts of classic anti-Semitic harassment of Jewish students decreased 42 percent while incidents of Israel-related anti-Semitic harassment increased 70 on campuses in 2018 “Everyone recognizes a swastika painted as bad and will stand up against it What they’re not recognizing is speech about Israel and Zionism that targets Jewish students That kind of speech is linked very closely with acts of aggression and that’s what’s concerning to us” Rossman-Benjamin said The bungled case of University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign The student government at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign which is 10 percent Jewish made headlines on October 23 when it passed a resolution redefining anti-Semitism The resolution which distinguishes the hatred of Jews from anti-Zionism was drafted without any input from Jewish students — save for the far-left anti-settlement Jewish Voice for Peace according to several UIUC students There is mainstream acceptance among governments and organizations worldwide of the working definition for anti-Semitism put forth by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance which does say that anti-Zionism can be a form of anti-Semitism At University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign the call for a new definition of anti-Semitism followed the discovery of a swastika painted on the school’s foreign languages department building as well as criticism of Chancellor Robert Jones who labeled an SJP presentation on the Israel-Palestine conflict as “anti-Semitic” in a campus-wide email Jones was not alone in his criticism: The Illini Public Affairs Committee IllinPAC which works to support US-Israel relations at the University called the presentation “a narrative of demonization of Israel and its citizens and Jewish students” In defense of the separation of anti-Semitism from anti-Zionism one of the resolution’s sponsors Bugra Sahin said that “criticism of a state is not anti its people or religion or ethnicity” according to the News-Gazette However the paucity of Jewish voices in the resolution which also criticizes Jones and passed in a 29-4 vote has Jewish student leaders fuming “With the resolution it felt like when a roomful of men decides what is right for women On campus you have a bunch of non-Jewish people identifying and saying what is anti-Semitic” Lauren Nesher president of the pro-Israel club IllinPAC told The Times of Israel via phone At the October 23 resolution vote Nesher spoke on behalf of the university’s Jewish community and organized a mass walkout “We do not negotiate our safety we do not negotiate our fear we do not negotiate our homeland we do not negotiate anti-Semitism” Nesher said Then she led a walkout of 400 Jewish students and allies amid jeers of “Free Palestine” and through a sea of posters such as “Free Palestine/Fuck Zionists” The campus chapter of SJP supported the UIUC anti-Semitism resolution but said it wasn’t involved in its drafting “SJP only got involved when we heard of the strong Zionist resistance to the bill Jewish students were consulted and support the current resolution however they asked to remain anonymous as they feared backlash from their communities if they vocalized their support” SJP-UIUC wrote The Times of Israel in a Facebook message That doesn’t square with what other students claim both Jewish and non-Jewish Ian Katsnelson a sophomore and the only Jewish senator to sit on UIUC’s 52-member senate said none of the bill’s sponsors asked for his input Jack Langen student body vice president of Illinois student government also said there was a lack of Jewish voices in drafting the resolution “I spoke to several Jewish students as well as leaders at Hillel and Chabad and came to the conclusion that this community had not been justly consulted on the contents of the resolution even as it directly pertained to what the Jewish community faces on campus” Langen said Prior to the vote Langen who is non-Jewish spoke out in support of Jewish students out of an obligation to ensure all students at UIUC feel equally represented and safe Boos drowned out his remarks What happens when your prof claims Zionism is racism The incidents at these schools typify the new kinds of anti-Semitism Jewish students face on campuses across the country said Jonathan Marks a professor of politics at Ursinus College in Pennsylvania “Although right-wing outfits like the American identity movement have put more energy into college campuses in recent years there is a huge difference between flyers sometimes hung up by non-students and lectures events and statements emanating from ‘progressive’ faculty and students that if they rarely veer into the use of explicitly anti-Semitic images and propaganda proceed from the anti-Semitic premise that Zionism along among national movements is racism” Marks said Rhetoric demonizing and delegitimizing Israel increased 32 nationwide with expression accusing Israel or Zionism of “white supremacy” more than doubling according to AMCHA Additionally expression promoting or condoning terrorism against Israel increased 67 In May 2018 at SUNY Stony Brook SJP issued a statement saying that “in response to the… community pledge to accept and respect the identity of students we ask the university: if there were Nazis white nationalists and KKK members on campus would their identity have to be accepted and respected Absolutely not Then why would we respect the views of Zionists” In a spring 2018 opinion piece in the student newspaper at the University of Virginia a student argued that the Jewish Leadership Council should not be permitted full membership in the Minority Rights Coalition unless “they denounce their ties to Zionist student groups” Additionally AMCHA reported an increase in the number of faculty who target Jewish students In the past year there were several documented reports of faculty refusing to write letters of recommendation for students wishing to study abroad in Israel as well as faculty pushing to shutter study abroad programs in Israel Sometimes these expressions can be even more overt as was the case at San Francisco State University There the director of an academic program posted a message on her program’s Facebook page that said welcoming Zionists to campus is “a declaration of war against Arabs Muslims and Palestinians” Soon after numerous flyers and graffiti messages showed up across campus saying “Zionists Not Welcome” Ursinus College’s Marks said responding to this kind of rhetoric presents a bit of a puzzle since most forms of anti-Semitism are also constitutionally protected speech He therefore urges Jewish students to counter organize saying that they should push for robust conversation and debate not only about BDS but all matters of Jewish social and political interest Coming together and counter-organizing is exactly what the Jewish students at UIUC did And although some are feeling a backlash there has been a silver lining Katsnelson said “The end result is our Jewish community feels significantly stronger” Katsnelson said Source Article from Related Posts Video: Harvard law school students stage walkout during Israel envoy talk Video: Harvard law school students stage walkout

leaders as coalition chances fade November 21st 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ President Reuven Rivlin on Wednesday held meetings with members of various political parties ahead of the midnight deadline facing Blue and White party leader Benny Gantz to form a coalition who seems all but doomed to fail After meeting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Democratic Camp head Nitzan Horowitz on Tuesday night the president met with Blue and White MK Moshe Ya’alon Joint List leaders Ayman Odeh and Ahmad Tibi United Torah Judaism leaders Yaakov Litzman and Moshe Gafni New Right’s Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked and Shas leader Aryeh Deri The talks appeared unlikely to produce a last-minute coalition deal before Gantz’s time runs out and were likely geared toward the next stage — 21 days during which

minority government headed by Gantz or a right-wing government headed by Netanyahu signaling new elections “There is no chance We will not join either a narrow right- or left-wing government or a minority government Whatever sort of government that would be it would not survive and would not be able to function to do what is needed for the country” Liberman told the packed Yisrael Beytenu faction room in the Knesset Netanyahu and Gantz traded accusations late Tuesday night in statements issued shortly after the conclusion of a one-hour meeting at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem in which efforts for a unity government appeared to hit a dead end Ya’alon said after his meeting with Rivlin that he said the “only” government acceptable for his party was a unity government with Likud headed by Blue and White “especially after it became clear in our talks with Likud that their interpretation of the president’s proposal was nowhere near his intention “What interests Netanyahu is his own escape from the defendants’ bench” Ya’alon added referring to three corruption cases against the premier in which charges are expected to be announced within days “Blue and White was formed to get Israel back on track not to lend a hand to the person who has brought it to this leadership crisis I thanked the president for his efforts to promote unity in Israel” Odeh said after his meeting that he and Tibi “emphasized that as far as we’re concerned all the options that would promote peace and equality are on the table but if it will come to it we are prepared for third elections “We don’t want more elections but if we are dragged to them we will continue gaining power and will do everything to prevent Netanyahu from forming the next government” Rivlin also

Christ ✝ 1 They couldn’t have just called A day after four rockets were shot at Israel from Syria Israel responded with a large reprisal airstrike operation targeting dozens of Iranian and Syrian military sites in Syria The operation was actually copped to by the IDF and politicians a rarity The Ynet news website calls the Israeli attack an “exceptional message” to Iran and its proxies Syria’s Bashar Assad and the Kremlin “The message to the Iranians is the most important … That Israel will not back off but will respond harshly to any attack on its sovereignty and will not rule out a large battle or even war if Iran continues to base fighters and create a front against it in Syria Iraq and maybe even Yemen” Ron Ben Yishai writes Channel 13’s Hezi Simantov quotes a security source saying that the attacks were Israel’s way of changing the rules of the game and actually meant to send a message to the Iranians protesting fuel hikes “We’re changing the equation Even when the attack is modest — we are responding The action was done with the knowledge of the protests in Iran the most serious since the revolution Our message to the Iranian public: Your regime leaders are endangering you with their terrorist adventurism” 2 Gird your citizens: He also reports that Iran has still not decided whether to exact a tit for Israel’s tat That’s despite the IDF’s recent conclusion — spread about via its army of “independent” analysts — that Iran has shifted its policy from turn the other cheek to eye for an eye hence the rocket fire on Tuesday morning IDF Spokesperson Hidai Zilberman tells reporters that the army is prepared for no response a minor response and a more significant response ToI’s Judah Ari Gross notes that “save for minor air defense reinforcements there were no significant changes to the IDF’s deployments in northern Israel on Wednesday morning” Yoav Limor writes in Israel Hayom that Israel is walking on eggshells: “It fluctuates between the need to act to maintain deterrence and the desire to avoid a clash that could escalate into all-out war Between these two considerations and despite the tangible risks involved Israel must insist on offense and deterrence even at the cost of attempts to harm Israel such as Tuesday’s missile attack and perhaps attacks that are even more severe” 3 Projectiles over politicos: Writing about the south but in a column that’s painfully relevant for the whole country which seems to seesaw between tensions in the north and south and sometimes both Haaretz’s Sami Peretz says that at a meeting in 2016 IDF brass realized that Israelis need to understand that they should get used to rocket fire thanks to the capabilities of its air defense systems making flareups less costly but still disruptive Get The Times of Israel’s Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Free Sign Up “One conclusion was that it’s necessary to close this gap between expectations and capabilities that is to make clear to Israelis that in every such round of fighting they’ll have to sit in bomb shelters lose workdays and schooldays and cope with significant disruptions to their daily routine” he writes Against this backdrop ToI editor David Horovitz writes that politicians have failed to show the same understanding endangering the state with their infighting Horovitz criticizes “the degree to which our political leaders have allowed themselves to be distracted from what ought to be an obsessive focus on the strategies for our defense in the face-off against an increasingly emboldened Iran and its web of proxy forces around us” “Israel is not Scandinavia It is a small embattled nation in the toxic Middle East And our leaders’ little rivalries have never looked so unforgivably self-indulgent as they do today in the new normal where we are routinely shaken from our sleep by the latest aggression of Iran and its proxies” he writes In Haaretz Amos Harel writes that Israel is in “a period when the dangers of mixing security and political considerations is higher than usual” 4 Avigdor closes the door: Indeed most eyes Wednesday morning are not on Iran but rather on Yisrael Beytenu head Avigdor Liberman who gives a statement in the early afternoon saying he will not join a right-wing or center-left government essentially paving the way to new elections In the lead-up to the announcement Liberman’s cherubic mug was at the top of all the Hebrew news sites many of which carried out his statement live in a repeat of the excitement surrounding Liberman immediately following the elections two months ago Massive crush getting into the Yisrael Beytenu faction room for Liberman’s announcement If only the politician’s were this desperate to get into the government pictwittercom/EbaYGxbHCb — Raoul Wootliff RaoulWootliff November 20 2019 “The only one who could create this kind of excitement is Liberman” Kan reports The announcement comes amid what appears to be the failure of unity talks after four weeks of Blue and White leader Benny Gantz trying to form a coalition Several note that most of Liberman’s announcement was devoted to trying to wash his hands of any responsibility for the failure of coalition talks despite being the kingmaker who refuses to choose a king With a day to go print newspapers which are quickly made obsolete run headlines like “Deadlock peak” Yedioth Ahronoth and “Talks and blame” Israel Hayom Both sides spent the morning trying to woo Liberman after it became clear that he could pick one side instead of continuing to push for a unity government “After talks with Gantz fail: Likud signals to Liberman” reads a headline from Kan reporting on Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu’s statement late Tuesday claiming that Liberman promised he would go with whoever is not a refuser and that is now Gantz However as my colleagues at ToI point out Netanyahu actually misrepresented Liberman’s ultimatum in which he challenged Netanyahu and Gantz to accept tough compromises or he would back the other candidate and renege on his pledge to only support a national unity government 5 Racist groundhog day: All hope for avoiding a third trip to the polls is not dead though with 21 days to go in which the Knesset can get together and force the president to give the mandate to someone for a last ditch try That mandate can go to any of the 120 serving MKs including those who already got a shot or someone else like Ahmad Tibi Why not Israel Hayom writes that Israel has never gone to the 21-day period before saying things have “never been so open” Channel 12 reports that an oft-overlooked section in the law means that a minority government can still be created in the 21-day period since 61 MKs just have to agree on a candidate not actually agree to join the government But Army Radio notes that Liberman’s words in which he spoke harshly against Arabs and ultra-Orthodox “end the idea of a minority government” Channel 13 reporter Barak Ravid notes that Liberman also engaged in some truly shocking “incitement against Arabs and the ultra-Orthodox” which he says was “bordering on anti-Semitic” Noa Landau of Haaretz tweets that Liberman who brought up the idea of direct elections for prime minister “rejects the democratic participation of Israel’s largest minorities ultra-Orthodox and Arabs That will make us more ‘stable’ he says I can think of another word it would make us” 6 How Balfour was almost won: With talks unraveling some new details about what was offered are starting to emerge Shas head Aryeh Deri tells Army Radio that Blue and White agreed to all his demands to keep the status quo on religion and state issues “The only reason there is no unity government is Yair Lapid” he charges The same station reports that Blue and White’s Yoaz Hendel tried to woo New Right’s Ayelet Shaked by promising to annex the West Bank’s Jordan Valley saying it “nearly put Gantz in Balfour” The only thing that stopped the deal was Netanyahu giving party leader Naftali Bennett the Defense Ministry In Al-Monitor Shlomi Eldar writes that Netanyahu stuck in purgatorial power with an unending transition government is using the ministerial posts as a bottomless bag of carrots to keep his yes-men saying yes “Given current circumstances Netanyahu is highly susceptible to pressure and needs every one of the 55 Knesset members from five parties that he has mobilized to support him Giving significant ministerial appointments in an interim government to tiny factions comprising three or four lawmakers in return for their defense against possible indictments seems — from Netanyahu’s perspective — a small price to pay They in turn are given free rein in their interim ministries to improve the quality of the settlers’ lives and develop infrastructure in West Bank territories” he writes 7 Settlements settlements everywhere but not a drop to annex The US’s reversal on settlements illegality has some talking annexation but it may be a bit early “If the settlements aren’t illegal in the eyes of the world’s largest superpower why should Israel treat those communities as anything less supporters of Israeli presence in the West Bank concluded” writes ToI’s Jacob Magid Magid notes that one left wing MK admitted that the announcement makes it harder for him to come out against annexation saying that “it doesn’t make us look very good when we oppose something that even the US government doesn’t seem to have a problem with” Channel 13 news quotes a US official saying that the decision “should not be seen as a green light for Israel to annex parts of the West Bank or start unrestrained building in settlements” In Israel Hayom Nadav Shragai writes that the US announcement means Israel needs to ramp up building in the West Bank and not just in existing blocs so the US can recognize that in the future as well comparing the situation in the West Bank to an aquarium: “The fear is that the fish the settlements will stay in the aquarium will not be evacuated and even Israeli sovereignty will be placed on them but most of the water the land will be pumped out for the Palestinians and their future diplomatic entity” Haaretz’s Zvi Bar’el focuses on another phrase in Mike Pompeo’s statement that could have far-reaching effects: his proclamation that the decision was based on “the unique facts history and circumstances” “The meaning of this policy is that any country be it Russia China Iran or even the United States itself can create ‘unique facts’ and new ‘circumstances’ in any area it wants and if they hold that area long enough they can enjoy legal status there” he writes Source Article from Related Posts The Most Successful Kids Have Parents Who Do These 9 Things by Marco Torres

much-needed distraction for more serious problems at home November 21st 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ Let us just hope that the Ukrainians are happy now that their virtue signaling friends in the newsrooms of the western world have declared their intention to spell the name of their capital city Kyiv not Kiev This latest effort comes from the United States Board on Geographic names which has decided to dump the habitual English way of spelling Kyiv/Kiev at the request of the Ukrainian ambassador who complained that “Kiev” was based on Russian pronunciation Also on rtcom Ex-Ukraine envoy’s feelings that Trump ‘threatened’ her amp his ‘real-time attacks’ on Twitter are IMPEACHABLE Democrats say That may be so but at least the spelling of “Kiev” makes the pronunciation relatively unambiguous However with “Kyiv” where do you go Kigh-iv Key-iv K-yiv It seems you can use whatever you like as long as it’s not Russian and that clearly is the problem How do Americans even those in the Foreign

are that determined to rid their country of Russian names despite that language being the native tongue of nearly a third more than 14 million of its population then why not go the whole hog Using the Ukrainian language we would switch from Chernobyl to have Chornobyl and Odessa would lose an “s” to become plain Odesa But would anyone actually care It could be suggested that the motive behind this rebranding is simply political as it serves no real practical purpose Then you get the western mainstream media on board and you have a big win for your KyivNotKiev campaign We can’t even seem to agree how to spell or pronounce Kiev/Kyiv — Jennifer Bukowsky esqonfire November 15 2019 This media support for the name change began with the Associated Press in August Since then the Wall Street Journal the Washington Post the Telegraph and the BBC have followed suit throwing style guides they have used for years out the window dare they ever be accused of outmoded thinking A political motive is the only explanation for a sudden interest in Ukrainian language The Ukrainian Government actually made it policy to use the “Kyiv” spelling in the 1990s but apart from its use in diplomatic protocols it never took off because the people preferred to use “Kiev” Also on rtcom The Ukraine affair is damning all right – just not in the way you’re being told to think Now however the ambassador found he could give a new campaign a bit of anti-Russia spin and suddenly there is a huge surge of interest If the various ambassadors from around the world or even in our own European backyard decide to follow suit in building up some nationalist fervor we should soon see English map names like Deutschland Polska Helvetia and Suomi Or does a ruling from the USBG only apply to countries holding a beef with Russia The real idea here however is straight out of the populist playbook Winning support for a name change from a compliant world media dominated by a largely anti-Russian agenda becomes a triumphant Ukrainian nationalist cause that serves as a distraction from more pressing issues like fighting endemic corruption or building a functioning economy for one of the poorest societies in

The Swedish case was a fraud The prosecutors’ goal all along was to use their powerful coercive tools in order to trap Assange within a slow-moving legal proceeding from which he would be unable to escape while the US prepared its criminal charges against him Sadly despite today’s announcement the Swedes’ mission has been accomplished The Swedish case began in Aug 20 2010 when two women with whom Julian Assange had had brief sexual relations went to the police to ask that he be tested for HIV Swedish prosecutors responded by ordering the arrest of Assange claiming he was a rape suspect even though neither woman had made any such allegation However on Aug 25 Swedish prosecutor Eva Finné announced that “the conduct alleged…disclosed no crime at all” Moreover the “forensic examination of a condom submitted as evidence supposedly worn and torn” by Assange during sexual intercourse with one of the women involved revealed no evidence of Assange’s DNA Also on rtcom UN torture envoy demands ‘full accountability amp compensation’ after Sweden drops rape probe against Assange As for the other woman according to UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Niels Melzer “she did not want to report any criminal offence but was pressured into doing so by the Swedish police” In addition she “refused to sign her statement suspended her questioning and left the police station as soon as she was informed that the prosecution intended to use her testimony in order to arrest Mr Assange on suspicion of rape” Following the closure of the case Assange having been given permission by prosecutors to leave Sweden headed for London However a new prosecutor Marianne Ny took over the case and in November 2010 she obtained a European Arrest Warrant demanding that Assange be detained in order that he be questioned in relation to the sexual offense allegations She also obtained an Interpol “red notice” for wanted fugitives Ny insisted that Assange could be questioned in person and only in Sweden Assange fought the extradition request suspecting that—coming as it did three months after the closure of the case against him—it was a ruse The goal was to get him to Sweden from where he would be swiftly extradited to the United States which in all likelihood had prepared a secret indictment against him The British courts consistently ruled against Assange and in favor of the Swedish extradition request even though he had been charged with nothing On June 15 2012 following the British Supreme Court’s dismissal of his challenge to the Swedish extradition request Assange walked into the Ecuador embassy and asked for political asylum Also on rtcom Assange ‘MAY DIE in jail for revealing war crimes’ his father warns after seeing him behind bars From 2010 to 2015 Ny refused to come to London to interview Assange in the embassy she also refused to conduct the interview via video link although as Melzer has pointed out “the questioning of suspects or witnesses in the UK was reportedly standard practice applied by Sweden in dozens of contemporaneous criminal investigations under the Mutual Legal Assistance agreement” with the UK Finally in March 2015 the Swedish prosecutor agreed to come to London to interview Assange in the embassy She did so not out of any humanity or common decency but out of fear that the Swedish courts would lift her detention order against Assange on the reasonable ground of proportionality However even now Ny procrastinated and it wasn’t until November 2016 that she finally showed up in the Ecuador embassy We learned subsequently from e-mail exchange between her and the UK Crown Prosecution Service that the British were encouraging this procrastination Neither she nor the CPS wanted any resolution of the Assange case On May 19 2017 Ny announced that she was discontinuing the investigation of Assange The reason she offered was that “there was no reason to believe the decision to surrender Assange to Sweden can be executed in the foreseeable future” This was now the second time Swedish prosecutors had dropped their investigation into sexual allegations against Assange However this did him no good Although he had now been trapped inside the Ecuador embassy for five years the British still had an outstanding arrest warrant against him for bail-jumping As a result Assange was to be imprisoned inside the embassy for four more years Punishing Assange sends ‘we will get you’ warning to other journalists Roger Waters tells RT On April 11 2019 the Ecuador government withdrew Assange’s asylum status without of course permitting him to challenge this decision in court and invited the British authorities to enter the embassy and seize Assange Within minutes the United States confirmed what Assange had said all along The United States announced that it would seek his extradition on the basis of a secret indictment that had been prepared a year earlier The charge was that Assange had conspired with Chelsea Manning to hack into a secure computer system A month later the United States announced 17 additional charges against Assange under the Espionage Act Should the US extradition request succeed—and there is every likelihood that it will—Assange could be imprisoned for 175 years Today’s decision by the Swedish prosecutor unfortunately comes too late to make the slightest bit of difference to the fate of Assange The US extradition application will go forward regardless The UK courts will almost certainly demonstrate their subservience to the US government by ruling against Assange However what happened today confirms what has been apparent for years: The charges against Assange whether those emanating from Sweden Ecuador the United Kingdom or the United States were presented for no reason other than to persecute and ultimately destroy a man who had committed no crime – other than to publish information about governmental abuses and war crimes What is particularly shameful is that the very people who should have been defending Julian Assange—the journalists—were the ones most eager to smear him by giving credence to lurid and false allegations By

policy: Trump or ‘interagency consensus’ November 21st 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ With all due respect to Vice President Mike Pence’s adviser Jennifer Williams the real “star” of Tuesday’s Schiff Show was Lieutenant Colonel – and don’t you forget that! – Alexander Semyon Vindman the “top Ukraine expert” on the NSC Vindman emphasized his military service and immigrant background as a shield from criticism and even admitted he wore his uniform in response to “attacks” on Twitter His vast Ukraine expertise he argued qualified him to judge that US President Donald Trump asking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to look into Ukraine’s possible role in 2016 US election meddling or former VP Joe Biden and his son’s service on a corrupt Ukrainian company’s board was inappropriate To use his words from an earlier deposition it was “inconsistent with the consensus views of the interagency” Vindman also lamented that the president did not follow the “talking points” about corruption drawn up by the NSC staff before the Zelensky phone call There is only one tiny little problem that Vindman himself was forced to admit under examination by Rep Elise Stefanik R-New York: it is the president who actually sets US foreign policy and “interagency consensus” – whatever that may be – is not The phrase “official US foreign policy” keeps getting repeated over and over Where is this “official” policy housed exactly In some kind of sacred chamber I always thought democratically-elected leaders were the ones who crafted the policy — Michael Tracey mtracey November 19 2019 “Under the Constitution the President of the United States determines US foreign policy” is how the official State Department page describing the Secretary of State’s duties puts it Last anyone checked and however many people apparently hate that fact and have vowed to resist it that president is one Donald J Trump – not Alexander S Vindman That ought to be the end of the story at least until the American electorate has a chance to decide on the question again in less than a year Yet here are Vindman Williams and last week’s parade of bow-tied legacy bureaucrats arguing that no Trump’s shooting from the hip is improper violates norms and practices might hurt Ukraine and just isn’t done in Washington Doesn’t he realize who they are Also on rtcom ‘Defending our democracy’ or Schiff show Impeachment hearing reveals world where establishment feelings trump facts It’s remarkable how people who believe they possess such fantastic mind-reading powers to discern clearly and precisely just what Trump’s words really meant – even when they heard of them second- or third-hand – never bothered to pay attention to his campaign platform where he vowed to “drain the swamp” and change the way things were done in Washington Tempting as it may be to focus on the “gotcha” moments of Tuesday’s hearing from Vindman arguing that he was too busy to follow the chain of command after the July phone call ! to the frantic efforts of House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff D-California to shut down any possible mention of the “whistleblower” – the person whose complaint launched the entire process but who clearly got the information from Vindman – that would be about as pointless as the hearing itself Ukraine is neither a treaty ally of the US nor a sacred cow It did receive every penny of the aid designated by Congress before the statutory deadline All the Ukrainian officials from Zelensky on down have sworn they were never pressured into anything by Trump or his aides Instead what has emerged is a 2018 letter from Democrats demanding Ukraine aid the Mueller investigation and an account of Sen Chris Murphy D-Connecticut one of the main supporters of the 2014 Maidan coup telling Zelensky he should not “respond to requests from American political actors” lest he lose Democrat support in Congress So much for the talk about anti-corruption efforts or the US respecting their sovereignty – a joke if ever there was one Also on rtcom The Ukraine affair is damning all right – just not in the way you’re being told to think When all is said and done the entire

Also on rtcom Disney recuts own classics: Why do corporate gatekeepers think we will turn racist if they don’t censor content The woke in Hollywood are forever on the search for a scapegoat to relieve them of accountability as it is never their fault that their movies fail In the case of these female-led movies the women involved never have to own their failures because they reflexively point their fingers in horror at the angry knuckle-dragging men who out of misogynist spite don’t shell out beaucoup bucks to go see their abysmally awful girl power movies Elizabeth Banks got an early start in the men-blaming game even before Charlie’s Angels came out when she told Australia’s Herald Sun “Look people have to buy tickets to this movie too This movie has to make money If this movie doesn’t make money it reinforces a stereotype in Hollywood that men don’t go see women do action movies” Of course men will go see women in action movies Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel being two prime examples of highly successful female action movies but fear not Elizabeth Banks dropped some feminist knowledge to counter that uncomfortable fact when she said “They men will go and see a comic book movie with Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel because that’s a male genre” So even when men go see a female led action film they are only doing so because it is a “male genre” got that What a convenient way to avoid responsibility… with Elizabeth Banks it is heads she wins and tails men lose Also on rtcom ‘System deadlock’: Joker artistically diagnoses modern world’s ills – Zizek Banks preemptively blaming men for not being interested in seeing Charlie’s Angels is also odd because she has also openly stated that “women…are the audience for this film” and that she wanted to “make something that felt important to women and especially young girls” And according to box office figures it seems that it isn’t just men staying away from Charlie’s Angels in droves but everybody…including women! What the feminists in woke Hollywood need to understand is that men and women will go see quality female-led movies but they need to be good movies first and feminist movies a very distant second The problem with Charlie’s Angels and the rest of these feminist films is that their woke politics is their only priority and entertainment value and artistic merit are at best just an after thought if a thought at all My hope is that Hollywood will learn from the critical and financial failure of Charlie’s Angels and the rest of 2019’s feminist flops and in the future will refrain from making vacuous

-WASHINGTON POST Pugh has been in hiding for 7 to 8 months is expected to surrender to US Marshals Service in the next 24 hours before her hearing in US District Court in Baltimore on Nov 21 at 1 pm est Pugh went missing in Apr after the FBI and IRS raided her home amid speculation she was involved in a brazen kickback scheme involving sales of her “Healthy Holly” book series The former mayor of Baltimore was accused of using her position to secure agreements worth hundreds of thousands of dollars from the University of Maryland Medical System and managed-care consortium KaiserPermanente The contracts were arrangements to purchase thousands of copies of Pugh’s “Healthy Holly” books a series written by Pugh Pugh was sitting on the organization’s board when she received the book deal from the University of Maryland system And shortly after she received a payment from KaiserPermanente the company received a 48 million contract from the city Though we’re sure that’s just a coincidence Furthermore some of the “Healthy Holly” copies that Pugh sold to the University of Maryland Medical System remain unaccounted for and some suspect they may never have been printed “Our elected officials must place the interests of the citizens above their own” said United States Attorney Robert K Hur “Corrupt public employees rip off the taxpayers and undermine everyone’s faith in

Pugh betrayed the public’s trust The FBI will continue to diligently work to detect fraud and corruption and hold those who violate this trust accountable” The next significant development will be

Just threats of more tariffs – quelle surprise After Tesla made a surprise profit and announced cash in the bank I’m glad I held onto 6 Shares – they are going to make me indescribably wealthy in dotage dream on… After not watching the indescribably awful Boris vs Corbyn debate last night I tried but it was just too painful I am wondering why we put our trust in such frankly terrible people I guess it’s because we share their worst characteristics and aspirations… I did watch a masterclass on comparative media-handling skills this morning a very erudite and engaging chap from the SNP sat on the Brek-drek couch held an open and engaging posture listened to the presenters nodding in agreement with them kept calm considered and answered conversationally all the while still giving the same response about it being Scotland’s right to another referendum to every question He was good Then some dimwit Tory/Labour spokesperson proceeded to talk down to the presenter ranted combatively about how Corbyn/Boris said something they didn’t and treated everyone with disdain She seemed to think constantly repeating the same stock answer made what she was declaring fact This election just ain’t working for me…… So lets get back to business and talk about finance and markets… Aviation Finance Boeing is having a decent Dubai Airshow this week They have sold 60 new B-737 Max jets to Kazakhstan and Turkish airlines – despite the Max remaining grounded Even better they will sell 40 Dreamliner B-787’s to Emirates but lost orders for the delayed B-777x plus another 3 to Ghana It’s the first good news for Boeing in a long while – although its clouded by the fact Airbus is outselling them across the board Both aircraft makers have been offering substantial discounts on new orders Sales at an airshow don’t fix Boeing The whole “Aviation-as-an-asset” sector is facing headwinds Aviation transactions still represent good value – producing positive predictable returns but the possibility of trade downturns a long-term China/US spat plus new pressures on flying in terms of carbon emissions are changing the numbers – especially in terms of used aircraft valuations Passenger growth is slowing That don’t mean Aviation has suddenly become a dangerous sector but one where the narrative is changing rapidly Investors in the sector have to be even more careful It’s not just the effects of global economic slowing or the cost implications of cheaper new aircraft pushing down second-hand values Aviation is no longer a fashionable investment market Many investors I speak with are particularly concerned about ESG and aviation but that’s a red herring They should focus on pricing transparency – more on which below! But first… Boeing When writing about aviation I have to start with the Jumbo in the Room I am still trying to figure out how Boeing survives Despite the likely 40 plane order from Emirates the Boeing narrative is terrible I don’t think I’ve ever looked at a firm where there are so many reasons to sell so few to buy but is still a stock so many investors have to hold to “index track” If any company has ever had an “annus horribilus” then it’s been 2019 for Boeing If you fancy a good read then try The Case Against Boeing in the New Yorker Boeing was trading at 30 in March 2009 a low after the collapse of Lehman when the Global Financial Crisis meant everything and anything looked appalling Everyone thought business travel was finished no one would ever take a holiday again and global recession was inevitable How wrong we were… Today Boeing is trading nearly 1200 higher around 370 But the firm is mired in crisis Following a second wholly avoidable crash of the flawed B-737 Max the stock tumbled – but it’s only 16 from its high of 440 Since the crash Boeing has been hit by a cascading cataclysm of revealing failures Its corporate culture has been exposed as rotten I last wrote about Boeing on 22nd October – “Boeing Boing Gone” – outlining a succession of problems of its own making: Abysmal management failure the board paid out billions in dividends boosted their bonuses and approved some 43 bln of stock buybacks but decided not to spend cash to develop a new short-haul regional aircraft that could have generated trillions in profits and a long-term sustainable future Internal rot as Boeing morphed from being the premier Tech and Engineering led aviation company with superb designers able to address any aeronautical challenges into a cash cow for box-ticking cost-accountants led by a C-Suite of greedy senior management There are unaddressed build quality problems across the fleet parts falling off older 737s failed “pickle-fork” wing joints that never should have been a problem and a suspicion there is much more bad news to come re Boeing’s apparent regulatory capture of the FAA which will confirm its pursuit of profit over safety Boeing’s product list comprises the effectively unsellable 737 Max aircraft no passenger will want to fly on the superb B-787 Dreamliner which Emirates aside nobody really needs and the greatly delayed new B-777x which no one particularly wants There is literally nothing on its product list anyone really wants to buy In the face of slowing/stopped Dreamliner sales and the dodgy accounting used to smooth-off the B-787 development costs the 400 odd unpaid for 737 Maxes blocking the parking lots the 9 bln in compensation claims from airlines and the still unresolved issue of just how guilty or contributory Boeing has been in terms of dead passenger claims its difficult to see how Boeing will ever actually make money Management failure internal disunity a sub-optimal product list and a looming cash crisis could sound terminal for any business There are even rumours Boeing’s internal problems are so great and unsolvable it could be split into a new-co selling civilian airliners with the government stepping in with aid to develop new modern aircraft and/or a residual company to complete the production backlog with the Boeing name going to its military business It would require Chapter 11 protection to unravel and split the company It could be … very messy I could go on but Boeing’s stock remains high for 2 reasons: First it’s the largest component of the ridiculous Dow Jones index which means it gets autoloaded into to every index trade Second it’s part of a global duopoly which will be impossible to duplicate – only Airbus and Boeing have the logistical capacity to build airliners in the quantities needed For the record its not all rosy at Airbus either They also have build problems caused by a skills shortage and to many types It’s not just Boeing – it’s about the future of Aviation Thus far I’ve only written about Boeing’s internal problems Its failure to deliver on the 737 Max may actually be good news for the Aviation Investment Sector If Boeing isn’t producing many new planes then it enhances the value of aircraft already safely in service… you might think But Aviation Finance looks likely to face its own challenges “Flygskam” is the new mantra – flight shame Environmental concerns and the concept of zero emissions have gone from a lunatic fringe concern just a few years ago to top priority today Excessive flight miles it’s not OK Boomer have gone from an extremist position to a central core belief very quickly Woe betide the celebrity who risks taking a private flight You can calculate how much you are destroying the environment and raising sea-levels by checking your flight carbon emissions on the ICAO Carbon Emissions Calculator Standard aviation finance deals are based on a strong flow of rental earnings from airlines leasing aircraft from aircraft leasing companies The deal principal is either amortised or repaid when the aircraft are sold at the end of the lease It’s been a great business for investors and leasing companies Until recently no one ever particularly queried the assumptions made about the sale of aircraft at the end of a lease Everyone assumed the “conservative” valuations used by leasing companies would work However smart investors who asked to see records of secondary aircraft sales have got worried about the lack of transparency on price points where sales have occurred I’ve raised the lack of transparency on pricing many times at aviation finance conferences and have been confidentially told I’ve pissed off upset some of the Irish Aviation Mafia experts who still control swathes of aviation finance Over the last few years future valuations have become an issue – particularly after the A380 Superjumbo programme was abandoned by Airbus Most of these aircraft were leased for 10-years in the expectation there would be strong secondary demand for the planes when the original aircraft leases end Not so No airline found a way to work the Superjumbos effectively – although investors got regular coupon income their principal is at risk when they discover the expected resale prices become a scrap valuation The problem with the aviation finance business is uncertainty on what valuations will be at the end of a lease in 5-10 years time It’s never been a transparent market I’ve been speaking with my chums at Ishka Global who’ve introduced a new Transactions Economics Platform to analyze aircraft valuations It is well worth a look Their data shows the spreads between the highest and lowest valuations on 10-year old aircraft can vary by over 50 – even for the most “liquid” aircraft types That makes for tremendous pricing volatility Their data platform gives market views on values backed up by real transaction info Its absolutely critical information for analysing potential deals If you’d like an intro to Iskha more than happy to set it up – if you call them direct mention the Porridge! Any investor thinking about the aviation market should at least try it out And they are offering a free trial for Porridge Readers! Perhaps an issue of even more concern is the how slow the market for second-hand distressed asset aircraft is at the moment Recently we’ve seen a large number of airlines go bust – Berlin Monarch Jet Thomas Cook and these gave us insights on how quickly aircraft would go back into service with new airlines Jet Airways went bust in March 2019 – of its 78 B-737 aircraft only half have found new homes in India – suggesting there had been over-supply in the market! 9 of the remaining aircraft are still unplaced despite the apparent shortage of planes caused by the B-737 Max grounding Jet’s widebody B-777s and A-330s are still sitting on the tarmac unloved by other users It’s a warning that investment is all about choosing the right aircraft type to invest in Don’t misunderstand this Morning’s Porridge – I’m not bearish on Aviation assets I’m saying it’s a complex market where the credit worthiness of airlines is critical in what looks to be a bear growth scenario As an asset secured market its critical to understand the deals and valuations – and test them They will tell you aircraft will get placed but at what price and under what terms remains a key question based on useful lives residual values and depreciation rates plus a host of other reasons As for Boeing that’s another issue With China unlikely to buy any Boeing planes anytime soon and the possibility Airbus decides its worth risking Donald Trump’s ire to develop and launch a new regional passenger jet it could yet shock us!

Former Google employees-turned whistleblowers have repeatedly provided evidence and documentation of the tech-and-media giant’s ongoing Hits: 3 Watch Live: Sondland Claims Giuliani Demand For Ukraine Probe Was Quid Pro Quo November 21st 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ Update 9 am ET: As the hearing begins it appears Sondland has already outlined his approach in a statement leaked to the Guardian And that approach is: Blame Rudy Sondland alleges that he Energy Secretary Rick Perry and others were ordered by President Trump to work with Giuliani on all things Ukraine-related And that they followed those orders so as not to miss the opportunity to cement closer relations between the US and Ukraine Sondland also blamed Giuliani for the quid pro quo with the Ukrainians as they sought an Oval Office meeting with President Trump The entirety of Sondland’s opening remarks have now been leaked to the press Read a summary here Read the entirety of his remarks below: Opening Statement of Ambassador Gordon D by Zerohedge on Scribd In what many pundits are calling the most important moment of the impeachment hearings just like Vindman was…but wasn’t and just like Volker was…but wasn’t Gordon Sondland the ambassador to the European Union will take the stand and testify on Wednesday Unlike the prior witnesses Sondland notably had to ‘update’ his testimony to House investigators earlier this month when another witness acting Ukraine ambassador Bill Taylor said he’d heard Sondland discuss President Trump and Rudy Giuliani’s demand that the military aid money for Ukraine would be withheld if it didn’t restart investigations into Burisma the energy company with ties to Hunter Biden and 2016 election interference Watch the hearing below The House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff will swing the gavel at 9 am: After Sondland Laura Cooper a deputy assistant secretary of defense and David Hale the under secretary of state for political affairs will testify in the afternoon According to BBG Sondland who won his position after emerging as a major Trump donor is likely to face intense questioning about his call with President Trump on July 26 the day after Trump’s phone conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy That’s the call where Sondland was allegedly instructed to deliver the ultimatum to Ukraine David Holmes a member of the embassy staff in Kyiv infamously told House investigators last Friday that he overhead Trump asking Sondland about “the investigations” – a reference to Ukraine agreeing to the administration’s demands Holmes added that Sondland told him after he hung up with Trump that the president “didn’t give a s— about Ukraine” and that Trump only cares about the “big stuff” that benefits him “like the Biden investigation” Sondland was also reportedly present at a July 10 White House meeting where Mick Mulvaney reportedly made clear that an Oval Office meeting with Zelensky wouldn’t happen unless the Biden investigations were re-started Former National Security Advisor John Bolton left that meeting saying later he wouldn’t be part of whatever “drug deal” Mulvaney and Sondland were cooking up As Reuters points out Sondland is particularly important because he’s the first witness with a direct line of communication to the president Sondland spoke to Trump some half a dozen times between mid-July and mid-September according to the testimony of other witnesses Here a couple of critical questions that Reuters believes Sondland will be asked: WHAT ROLE HAS SONDLAND PLAYED IN US RELATIONS WITH UKRAINE Sondland was one of three officials who largely took over US-Ukraine policy in May Career US diplomats have portrayed Sondland in their testimony as a central figure in what became a shadow Ukraine policy operation undercutting official channels and pressing Kiev to investigate the Bidens Ukraine is not part of the European Union but aspires to membership making Ukraine issues part of Sondland’s official remit But his involvement was viewed as a problem by some White House National Security Council NSC officials Trump named Sondland to the post after Sondland a hotel entrepreneur donated 1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee WHAT MIGHT SONDLAND BE ASKED TO TELL THE INQUIRY ABOUT TRUMP AND UKRAINE Democrats have heard testimony that Sondland has had frequent contact with Trump and can provide a first-hand account of Trump’s interest in pressing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to announce an investigation into the Bidens He will also face questions about the role of the president’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani in that effort Lawmakers are also likely to delve into one phone conversation between Sondland and Trump on July 26 in which a witness says Sondland reassured Trump the Ukrainians would agree to investigate the Bidens The call took place the day after Trump’s phone conversation with Zelenskiy that is at the heart of the inquiry David Holmes a US embassy staffer testified that Sondland told him after the July 26 call that Trump only cared about “big stuff” in Ukraine like “the Biden investigation” He may also be asked about a July 10 White House meeting where according to the testimony of one NSC official Sondland made clear that the Ukrainians would have to agree to investigate the Bidens as well as Burisma for Zelenskiy to get an Oval Office meeting with Trump And in a report published less than two hours before the start of the hearings The New York Times reported that Sondland kept Secretary of State Mike Pompeo apprised of all important developments in the campaign to pressure Ukraine to re-start the investigations into the Bidens which will almost certainly become a focus during Wednesday’s hearing Source Article from

Controlled by the Elite Why do you believe what you believe Some people have a really solid answer to Hits: 3 Rabobank: An Objective Analysis Of Impeachment Shows Very Little Damage To Trump So Far November 21st 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ Submitted by Michael Every of Rabobank Having started yesterday’s Daily “There was more bad trade news for markets to focus on yesterday” it was of course inevitable that today’s Daily would have to start “There was more good trade news for markets to focus on yesterday” Such seems to be the bipolar cycle of reporting on this topic which is apparently more important to the imminent health of the global economy than anything and everything As I have tried to make clear here many times before the trade war is not the main reason why the global economy has been slowing and will slow further into 2020 But moving on… That’s after Bloomberg again reports the US and China are considering a roll-back of at least some of the existing US tariffs in place as part of a “phase one” trade deal The long rambling piece which needs an editor more than the average Global Daily does underlines that perhaps–perhaps!–the December US tariffs might not be imposed which would not be a huge surprise and the recent September tariffs might be removed in exchange for…something What that is exactly is still not clear beyond the magic word “agri” and the hidden magic word “election” Some serious horse-trading is underway both within the White House and between Washington DC and Beijing Yet this may already have been eclipsed by the action of the US Senate which in a unanimous vocal “Yes/No” vote Wednesday morning Asian time 6PM EDT in the US passed a bill supporting the Hong Kong protestors and threatening the potential removal of Hong Kong’s separate legal status if its autonomy is undermined Technically the next step is for the House and Senate to iron out the small differences in the two versions of the legislation that they have both now passed vote again and then pass it on to the president That is expected to happen within weeks Trump would then have three options: ignore it – and it becomes law after 10 days of being received sign it – and it becomes law immediately veto it – and if Congress has a 2/3 majority which it certainly seems to it still becomes law Notably China has already stated it would take “strong countermeasures” in response to this bill and it will now arrive on Trump’s desk just around the time that the “phase one” trade deal is supposed to be happening If so have the horses the US is trying to trade effectively already bolted In response CNH this morning sits just over 703 so some slight movement away from Lucky Seven but AUD is not yet showing any major response PBOC fixing stayed close to 7 again today regardless of course at 70118 Elsewhere the 10-year US Treasury yield is back down to 177 – yes markets are choppy but consider that we were at 195 a few days ago and there was chatter of when we broke through 2 again and if we were heading back into a real bond bear market as all was now well with the world The message here was yes there was positional horse-trading going on in markets but that a bond-bear structural economic proposition was horse-…something Oil for example has slumped from USD58 to USD55 over the past month and Japan’s exports were -92 y/y in October marking the longest series of declines since 2016 and imports -148 – and that’s with the Rugby World Cup and the Olympics This morning also saw China react with a 5bp cut to its new “benchmark” Loan Prime Rate to 415 and the 5-year LPR likewise to 480 More easing will be coming of course and lots more should the horses trample all over the phase one trade deal What else to report Impeachment rumbles on in the US and while one’s reading of events depends on one’s political leanings an objective analysis shows very little damage being done to Trump so far – which might also play into the trade war if yesterday’s bad news is to be believed Elsewhere Iran’s internet is still down and hundreds may have been shot by the authorities to retain control Global media response: tumbleweeds After all Iran is a potentially huge market we all need to be trying to tap given sluggish domestic demand we don’t need more bad news pre-Xmas – we want to focus on nice things like smiling babies and trade deals that push Japan’s exports back up y/y and some might posit wouldn’t it be inconvenient if tough US sanctions actually produce geopolitical results There is also huge pushback within Germany against Chancellor Merkel’s stubborn insistence on leaving the door ajar for Huawei to build its 5G network: both her own CDU and her government partners the SPD are largely united in not wanting this to happen and are trying hard to prevent the decision from being made A small part of the larger global ‘pferdehandel’ underway Finally the first televised UK election head-to-head debate between BoJo and Corbyn produced an outcome that saw one viewer respond sadly “I wouldn’t buy a used car from either of them” Indeed the extremely rowdy TV audience by UK standards left the distinct impression the public see both men as being rear parts of a horse’s anatomy The two disagreed on almost everything including how to pronounce Epstein–Corbyn managing to sound either very ‘rootsy’ or uncomfortably anti-Semitic given his unorthodox “EpSHtein” over the more usual confusion on whether it is “Epsteen” even the royal family were in the firing line However there was common ground that UK austerity is over In terms of changing voters’ minds Corbyn had an exceptionally easy ride considering how radical some of Labour’s manifesto policies are being free to focus on BoJo’s untrustworthiness and the NHS Corbyn’s only major weakness besides being accused of anti-Semitism was Brexit where there was still no commitment as to which way he would campaign in his proposed second referendum: BoJo pointed out the EU would hardly agree to a new deal with Labour if they don’t know if the government would back it in a subsequent plebiscite However BoJo himself came across

Islamic Hits: 3 NATO To Make Outer Space Next “Operational Domain” November 21st 2019 Jesus Christ ✝ By Tyler Durden So much for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization… though we might note that when it previously bombed Belgrade assisted in the occupation of Afghanistan and toppled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi any sense or concern for overstepping its mandate or ‘mission creep’ was clearly lost altogether As if seeking expansion into Eastern Europe the Balkans and potentially the Caucuses were not enough now the Cold War military alliance is eyeing expansion into space This is the focus of the following new report — not in The Onion but in Bloomberg — entitled ‘NATO Is Poised to Expand Its Remit to Include Outer Space’ which introduces: NATO intends to make space an “operational domain” along with air land sea and cyber according to Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg The move to be approved at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers on Wednesday would bring all five areas within the scope of the alliance’s collective-defense commitment and comes as member countries seek to address fresh internal political splits Stoltenberg described to reporters on Tuesday: “Space is of great importance for our civilian societies and for any military operation” and described space expansion as ‘essential’ saying further: “It’s about communications it’s about navigation it’s about data imagery Space is essential for almost everything we do” So now Article 5 will be invoked to defend a NATO member’s claim to a chunk of the moon or Mars Again the NATO chief didn’t just describe the prospect as an interesting project or avenue for future potential but as “essential” NATO ministers have over the past year been discussing a an overarching future space policy so it’s nothing new however the suggestion that it’s now essential to the mission might come as a surprise to member states Despite deep cracks in the alliance especially after it’s second largest military controversially invaded northern Syria last month and following charged statements earlier this month by France’s Emmanuel Macron to The Economist wherein he described NATO as suffering “brain death” it appears Stoltenberg is exploring new domains to keep the alliance relevant This also comes after Trump’s longtime pressure for European capitals to increase defense spending shouldering more of the burden Profit outside the rigged system! Protect yourself from tyranny and economic collapse Learn to live free and spread peace! Counter Markets Newsletter – Trends amp Strategies for Maximum Freedom All of this suggests Macron had it right in his controversial prior remarks to the British weekly magazine: “What we are currently experiencing is the brain death of NATO” It’s also worth recalling that he had even questioned the Article Five collective defense guarantee when pressed on the issue: “I don’t know” he answered Again Stoltenberg’s new space comments suggest an alliance in desperate search of new missions on new frontiers More via Bloomberg: “We need more European efforts on defense but not as an alternative not as something that is replacing NATO” Stoltenberg said He called NATO’s plan to integrate space into the alliance’s operations a “defensive” step saying it would be a “clear sign that we continue to strengthen our deterrence and defense” Though as the report notes “Stoltenberg said NATO has no intention of putting weapons in space” But how else will NATO theoretically exercises “deterrence and defense” in outer space As NATO foreign ministers meet on Wednesday in Brussels to consider a range of issues it’ll be interesting to see if Stoltenberg’s space comments gain any further traction or are seriously taken up This article was sourced from ZeroHedgecom Subscribe to Activist Post for truth peace and freedom news Become an Activist Post Patron for as little as 1 per month at Patreon Follow us on SoMee Flote Minds Twitter and Steemit Provide Protect and Profit from what’s coming!
