The Best Places to Visit in New York State, USA
The Best Places to Visit in New York State, USA
New York State holds the biggest pull for visitors from around the world. The entire state of New York has plenty of attractions to keep you entertained. Besides the urban allure, culture, and shopping of Manhattan, much of New York State is still, in many ways, waiting to be discovered. The state is endowed with outstanding beauty and diversity of scenery. Although New Yorkers have long vacationed in the Catskill and Adirondack mountains, and at Long Island beaches, most have seen too little of the state between its tourist bookends, New York City and Niagara Falls. The historic Hudson Valley, a majestic river lined with elegant estates, is finally positioning itself as a destination, not just a day trip from the city.
Planning a trip to a state as large and diverse as New York involves a lot of decision making, so in this video we've tried to give some directions. We've chosen what we feel is the very best the state has to offer -- the places and experiences you won't want to miss. This video gives you an overview of New York State's highlights to get you started planning your trip.

Speak Up With Tank and 9/11 Truth Barbara Honegger
Investigative journalist and pioneering 9/11 investigator, Barbara Honegger, exposes the deep state creation of a New Pearl Harbor, and the plan to create perpetual war in the Middle East. She connects the threads between AG Barr, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the 9/11 truth coverup, and 9/11 as the preplanned trigger for WWIII. 9/11 was one more in a line of false flags that have been perpetrated to create war. In fact each and every war has been triggered by a false flag event, or a preplanned staged attack created by our government. The Lawyers Committee for 9/11 has proved that 9/11 was a demolition event, and further suits have been filed against Barr and Wray for covering this up. The countries blamed for the 9/11 terrorist attack were targeted for take-over pre-9/11, and 9/11 supplied the excuse.

Provisional Voting in Illinois It's kind of a disaster waiting to happen
This is the full discussion about provisional voting in Chicago. We have taken this clip from the Chicago Board of Elections video.
Read the article here:
A shortened version of this video is here:
Editor's Note: HB2418 was passed by the Illinois General Assembly. The Illinois State Board of Elections then writes Administrative Rules to implement the legislation. These rules have been written and submitted to JCAR which is reviewing and preparing them for a public comment period. We will let you know when this happens. Illinois citizens can have an impact on these rules. The law went into effect in July 2013 after it was passed by the Illinois General Assembly and signed by Governor Quinn.
Illinois has long had a law that states in order for a provisional ballot[i] to be counted, the voter must cast their vote in the right voting precinct.
The General Assembly has fundamentally changed this law with HB 2418[ii]. Election officials described the impact of these changes during the Chicago Board of Elections meeting on September 10th as disastrous, ugly, and a nightmare.
According to rules proposed by the Illinois State Board of Elections[iii], voters who want to cast a provisional ballot in the wrong precinct will be informed that they're voting in the wrong place, but if they insist on voting anyway they will be given a provisional ballot from that precinct on which to cast their vote. However, only part of their provisional ballot will count, and there is no requirement or proposed rule compelling the election judges to inform the voter of this reality.
During the Chicago Board of Election's meeting on September 10th, an important distinction was noted by James Scanlon, General Counsel for the Chicago Board of Elections: I don't think there is any affirmative duty on the part of the judges of election to inform the voter, 'Well sure, you can cast a provisional ballot here in the City of Chicago even though you live in Suburban Cook County, and if you do it, we're going to count all your votes for Governor and we're going to count all of your votes for US Senate and President, so go ahead.'
But that's it. All referendums (even state-wide referendums or votes for Constitutional amendments) and offices not being voted on at the precinct where the ballot is cast will be forfeited by voters who cast a provisional ballot at the wrong precinct; a distinction that election judges won't have to make to voters. Ergo, countless votes are going to be disenfranchised under the guise of helping America vote.
Can we predict how many votes are at stake? Chicago had about 22,000 provisional ballots in 2012, before the law was changed. 3,735 of these were cast in the wrong precinct and were not counted. In 2014, provisional ballots like those 3,735 will have to be re-made from the wrong ballot to the correct one. If there is a state-wide referendum on the ballot, the provisional votes for that referendum will not be counted. Now magnify that 3,735 by including provisional ballots cast in Suburban Cook and the rest of the State, and there's your answer: The votes of countless citizens are about to be disenfranchised, and most of them will not be told that their vote won't fully count.[iv]
As Ken Menzel, Deputy Counsel for the Illinois State Board of Elections, bluntly told the Chicago Board of Elections during their September 10th meeting, It's kind of a disaster waiting to happen. ... You'll get an influx of people working in the Loop, for example, who thought they were going to be home by 7:00pm and the meeting ran late—or they missed their train—and they start looking for the first flag out on the sidewalk that says polling place.

Finding Good Crappie Fishing Spots
Jason made a point in the fall and winter to look for new crappie fishing spots with his electronics. He started in some productive arms of the lake and idled along break lines looking for brush piles with fish.
These creek channel edges are often where fishermen like to drop their brush piles. So Jason scanned with Lowrance HDS 3D Structure Scan for likely looking spots and brush piles until he found schools of crappie holding on them.
Once he saw a good school of fish on a brush pile, he stopped and fished it. He would cast a jig over the top, when they quit biting that, he would pitch to the piles from a closer distance, and finally he would get right on top of them and fish vertically on the pile.
He had one of the best fall/winter periods for crappie fishing in recent years by getting out and hunting for fish more with his electronics.

Space Was the Place: An Abbreviated History of Washington, DC Arts Venues
Ray Barker, archivist of special collections, DC Public Library, with Andrew White, jazz/R&B multi-instrumentalist, musicologist, and publisher
Washington, DC, is known for its museums, which collectively bring millions of visitors to the city from around the world. Yet Washington also has a rich history of local art spaces that have showcased art made here in the city; several of them also staged concerts to support Washington’s many jazz and punk bands. Unfortunately, most of these local institutions no longer exist, but the DC Public Library is archiving as much as it can of this precious history. On June 30, 2019, at the National Gallery of Art, Ray Barker, archivist of special collections at the DC Public Library, gave a lecture introducing three key examples: d.c. space, the Maya Gallery, and the Museum of Temporary Art. Local music legend Andrew White, who had been featured at d.c. space, joined Barker with a short performance.

How to Stay Out of Debt: Warren Buffett - Financial Future of American Youth (1999)
Buffett became a billionaire on paper when Berkshire Hathaway began selling class A shares on May 29, 1990, when the market closed at $7,175 a share. More on Warren Buffett:
In 1998, in an unusual move, he acquired General Re (Gen Re) for stock. In 2002, Buffett became involved with Maurice R. Greenberg at AIG, with General Re providing reinsurance. On March 15, 2005, AIG's board forced Greenberg to resign from his post as Chairman and CEO under the shadow of criticism from Eliot Spitzer, former attorney general of the state of New York. On February 9, 2006, AIG and the New York State Attorney General's office agreed to a settlement in which AIG would pay a fine of $1.6 billion. In 2010, the federal government settled with Berkshire Hathaway for $92 million in return for the firm avoiding prosecution in an AIG fraud scheme, and undergoing 'corporate governance concessions'.
In 2002, Buffett entered in $11 billion worth of forward contracts to deliver U.S. dollars against other currencies. By April 2006, his total gain on these contracts was over $2 billion. In 2006, Buffett announced in June that he gradually would give away 85% of his Berkshire holdings to five foundations in annual gifts of stock, starting in July 2006. The largest contribution would go to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. In 2007, in a letter to shareholders, Buffett announced that he was looking for a younger successor, or perhaps successors, to run his investment business. Buffett had previously selected Lou Simpson, who runs investments at Geico, to fill that role. However, Simpson is only six years younger than Buffett.
Buffett ran into criticism during the subprime crisis of 2007--2008, part of the late 2000s recession, that he had allocated capital too early resulting in suboptimal deals. Buy American. I am. he wrote for an opinion piece published in the New York Times in 2008. Buffett has called the 2007--present downturn in the financial sector poetic justice. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway suffered a 77% drop in earnings during Q3 2008 and several of his recent deals appear to be running into large mark-to-market losses.
Berkshire Hathaway acquired 10% perpetual preferred stock of Goldman Sachs. Some of Buffett's Index put options (European exercise at expiry only) that he wrote (sold) are currently running around $6.73 billion mark-to-market losses. The scale of the potential loss prompted the SEC to demand that Berkshire produce, a more robust disclosure of factors used to value the contracts. Buffett also helped Dow Chemical pay for its $18.8 billion takeover of Rohm & Haas. He thus became the single largest shareholder in the enlarged group with his Berkshire Hathaway, which provided $3 billion, underlining his instrumental role during the current crisis in debt and equity markets.
In 2008, Buffett became the richest man in the world, with a total net worth estimated at $62 billion by Forbes and at $58 billion by Yahoo, dethroning Bill Gates, who had been number one on the Forbes list for 13 consecutive years. In 2009, Gates regained the position of number one on the Forbes list, with Buffett second. Their values have dropped to $40 billion and $37 billion, respectively, Buffett having lost $25 billion in 12 months during 2008/2009, according to Forbes.
In October 2008, the media reported that Warren Buffett had agreed to buy General Electric (GE) preferred stock. The operation included extra special incentives: he received an option to buy 3 billion GE at $22.25 in the next five years, and also received a 10% dividend (callable within three years). In February 2009, Buffett sold some of the Procter & Gamble Co, and Johnson & Johnson shares from his portfolio.
In addition to suggestions of mistiming, questions have been raised as to the wisdom in keeping some of Berkshire's major holdings, including The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) which in 1998 peaked at $86. Buffett discussed the difficulties of knowing when to sell in the company's 2004 annual report:
That may seem easy to do when one looks through an always-clean, rear-view mirror. Unfortunately, however, it's the windshield through which investors must peer, and that glass is invariably fogged.
