From a life on the water….

This Conversation Really Happened Last Week.

tunaStrangely enough it was just over a week ago when I noted the average price of Tuna fish was ridiculously low in comparison to the past two years.

The price drop for a factory boat processed can of tuna has dropped more than 40%.

What that generally indicates is an abundance of market supply, too substantial for just a general drop in demand.  Unfortunately, this also means a depletion of resource origin in the water, less tuna swimming about.  Noting a significant shelf price drop indicates the supply growth is several months past.

So I checked global price sourcing.  [Because sport tuna fishing has been a hobby of mine since an accidental catch of a 300 lb “Big Eye” two decades ago netted me enough money to buy a brand new car]  Yep, confirmed, early 2015 Global pricing reflected a tuna price nosedive amid the more famous Japanese markets for “Bluefin”, a market indicator.

Too many of all Tuna species harvested.  What does that mean? (more…)

Media Code Speak: "Teen Melee" – Mob of teens attack bystander who tries to break up brawl inside Brooklyn McDonald’s…

(Hat Tip Partyzantski) who shares: …”This video shows the mentality behind the mob feral behavior. The guy, acting out of good faith, goes to pull the warring factions apart. He ends up hospitalized. People were calling for him to be killed. This is barbarism.
[…]  Here is a safety tip for all: If you are in a place and all of a sudden the demographic changes, GTFO. Just drop your burger or whatever and LEAVE with all those you came with. Get out and get separation. Keep walking away. Get away. NEVER interpose yourself. As an outsider, it is an affront to the warring factions. Cops know domestic calls are potentially some of the most violent, these situations are dangerous for the same reasons”...
NEW YORK – BROOKLYN (PIX11) Another disturbing teen melee broke out inside a Brooklyn McDonald’s Friday, and this time, the brawlers turned their violence on an innocent man trying to break the fracas up and on employees of the fast food joint.

The Baltimore Plan – The Big Part of The Bigger Picture: Win By Losing….

The professional grievance crowd has all of the Marxist planets aligned.   They have the DNC approved black female mayor Stephanie Rawlings; they have their rock star activist attorney Marilyn Mosby, and they have a strategically planned opportunity to win by losing.
Baltimore protests 1
Black Lives Matter activist and State Attorney Marilyn Mosby has no intention of gaining victory in her charges against the Baltimore Six defendants, she doesn’t need to.  Indeed, I would argue the handlers within the larger BGI network don’t factually want her to succeed.
Every outside pundit, legal analyst and observer will note, if they have not already, the construct of her spoken, but not revealed, probable cause affidavit is fraught with flaws.  Some call it overcharging, some call it a stretch, others call it a tough case to prosecute.  However, what it really amounts to is an unwinnable trial.
And that’s exactly what this fiasco is intended to communicate.
You can’t force repairs upon a system that works.  “If you can’t change it, shut it down“.

CNN and The Obama Agenda – A collaborative goal to work policy objectives through the media…

In December 2014 CNN ran and episode of Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown  filmed in Iran.  It seemed innocuous at the time, yet as with all things Turner Broadcasting, it also seemed to be another set up for a larger political agenda item.

Was something, something important to the administration, coming on the horizon which would benefit from some pro-Iranian sentiment blasted into the U.S. psyche.   Something which might be known as a 2015 ‘Iranian Nuclear Deal’, perhaps.
Was it just happenstance that Bourdain interviewed Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian and his wife, Yeganeh Salehi  -also a journalist- who was arrested less than two weeks after the segment was filmed.

Coincidence?

President Obama Calls Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – To Share Details Of Iranian Nuclear Agreement…

We are beginning to assemble the trail of what has factually taken place within the backstory of the Iranian nuclear negotiations. The dots are all over the place, but essentially the construct looks very familiar.

White House situation room - Iran negotiations

♦ The White House Team constructed the political “talking points” approximately 2 days ago 3/31/15 (photo above).  [Note subsequent to this meeting not a single media interview by the State Department team]

♦ Those White House points are based on domestic political needs and influenced by increasing domestic backlash.  Goal = Historic, Magnificent, Amazing, etc.

♦ The State Dept. Team in Switzerland (Kerry et al) told to keep quiet as the White House talking points are constructed/finalized. (link) 4/1 and 4/2 absolute silence.

♦ A deal is reached by the Secretary of State team with the Iranian team which does not align with the White House construct (talking points). [The actual deal doesn’t really need to line up with the talking points because that’s not the most important aspect – Think “Tax” VS. “Mandate” in ObamaCare].

♦ The White House talking points are used by President Obama in the Rose Garden.  (link) [Note not a “joint” statement – a pure construct of the White House]

♦ The Iranian team then points out those talking points don’t align in fact with the deal reached by the negotiation teams.  Subsequently calls them “LIES” (link)

Politically the White House now has options: (more…)

Some Jihadis Are More Equal Than Others – U.S. Intel: ISIS Will Not Team Up With Boko Haram Due To Racism…

We have been pointing out this little inconvenient truth since 2011 when black Jihadists were traveling from North Africa into Libya and being killed by Hillary’s al-Qaeda Jihadist “rebels”.   [SEE This Link] and [SEE This Link]

September 2011 – (LIBYA)  Rebel forces and armed civilians are rounding up thousands of black Libyans and migrants from sub-Sahara Africa, accusing them of fighting for ousted strongman Moammar Gadhafi and holding them in makeshift jails across the capital. (link)

libya_1951480c
Hillary’s “rebels” hated the black Africans, and the black Africans have always been a type of mercenary group willing to fight just about any element for the right price.  When Libya came under attack from Hillary’s Arab team, even Muamar Gaddaffi set aside his own hatred for black Africans and hired them to fight for his side.
The racism of Arab ISIS participants, formerly al-Qaeda and/or Ansar al-Sharia, toward African blacks, is well known and well documented. It actually has a historical context going all the way back to when Gaddaffi was at his peak as an international terrorist.  This racism even influenced the 1986 chosen location for the East Berlin bombing of the La Belle night club.  (more…)

Delay, Avoid, Obfuscate – State Department Blocks Witness Testimony To Benghazi Select Committee…

According to Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings, Hillary Clinton is eager to present herself for testimony to the Congressional Select Benghazi Committee. Obviously the Democrats  would prefer it to be ASAP -and- we predict within a few weeks you will see a shift in strategy which will put Gowdy solidly back on his heels and marginalize his position.
According to Trey Gowdy the State Department is hiding documents and blocking witness testimony – which he demands prior to interviewing Hillary Clinton.  The Democrats scoff at his claims saying bazillions of pages, hearings, testimonials, and documents have been provided.  Cummings is playing Chess, Gowdy is playing checkers.
The White House, the State Department, and the Democrats on the panel have a well-planned strategy to derail any political risk stemming from Benghazi; and even though I know many readers are fans of Gowdy, it appears he is being played like a finely tuned instrument.

The Presumptive 2016 GOP Presidential Candidate Skips Political Event With Immigration Hard-Liner Steve King…

It’s a forgone conclusion that Jeb Bush will be the GOP candidate for the 2016 Republican GOP Presidential ticket.  The only possible roadblock was eliminated on May 11th 2014.  Jeb’s anticipated pathway is essentially the same as Mitt Romney in 2012. 
Hold breath, don’t make any fabulous gaffes => Blow off Iowa, place 2nd or better in New Hampshire, show face in South Carolina, then begin to pull away by taking Florida.  The roadmap of The Romney 2.0.  
The Tom Donohue approved bilingual Chamber candidate committed to three essential principles: ¹Maintain ObamaCare, ²advocate for comprehensive immigration reform, and ³support Federal Common Core education standards.
Jeb-BushIOWA – Former Florida governor Jeb Bush has declined an invitation to speak at a political event organized by U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Kiron.
A Bush aide said Wednesday that the former Florida governor appreciated the invite from Republican congressman Steve King but would not be able to attend the Iowa Freedom Summit on Jan. 24 because of a scheduling conflict.
More than a half-dozen potential Republican presidential contenders are set to appear, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Bush’s absence is notable because of King’s status as a conservative power broker in Iowa, home of the nation’s first presidential caucuses. (read more)

Not All Ferguson Grand Jury Documents Released – Surprise!! The Media Just Found Out Dorian's Testimony is Mysteriously Missing…

DUH. You guys already know this, but apparently the media had to hire a team of private investigators and investigative journalists to figure it out. The most significant document missing is the one we first noticed absent on the very first night. Dorian Johnson’s joint State and FBI interview conducted on August 13th.
In our researched opinion this is directly because there was a deal made with Dorian for his “story”. (I outlined the deal on November 25th)  It is entirely possible, actually more than possible, most likely, the recorded FBI interview/statement of Dorian Johnson is wildly divergent from both his media interviews and his grand jury testimony.
Dorian johnson giving statementWe strongly feel the FBI knew Dorian was making up a story, then when given structural immunity, he admitted to making up a story on August 13th.
The State/FBI officials then allowed him to give BS testimony -that mostly matched his BS media interviews- to the grand jury because the feds/state were willing to provide him a cover story for his own protection from community backlash.
Bottom line, the Feds needed the accurate truth because by August 13th they had enough of a physical and forensic outline to substantiate the three interviews of Darren Wilson. Wilson was interviewed on Saturday 8/9 (local), Sunday 8/10 (local and state), and for more than three hours on Tuesday 8/12 (state and federal FBI).
By the time the same Feds sat down with Dorian (next day after Wilson) as seen in this picture at the attorney’s office, they knew only three actual, well, actually “claimed” eye-witness statements were in conflict with Wilson:  Dorian Johnson, Tiffany Mitchell and Piaget Crenshaw. The feds knew the physical evidence DID NOT match the claims of Dorian, Tiffany and Piaget.
They mostly needed to know why those claims didn’t match.
