A Brief History of the First Crusade
Pope Urban II
-all the raping pillaging and killing (fellow Christians were not exempt) they could muster for a free ticket to heaven. Anons can imagine who took the deal.
The Lords, Dukes, Knights etc. quit killing each other for the purpose of establishing new Kingdoms enroute to Jerusalem. Stephen I, Count of Burgundy bailed out and told the trained military to turn around, WITH supplies, all was lost. kek
Kilig Arslan of the Sultanate wiped out most of them in the Levant, mob v trained army: Score Army-1, Rowdy Mob-0. Peter the Hermit didn't go past Constantinople, he stayed and partied. No idea what happened to the Goose- yes, a "divinely inspired" Goose led a group of the rowdy mob..
Some "Lords" who didn't turn back made themselves Kings of various cities, not Antioch though, it got sacked yet again. (More sacking to come to the earthquake ravaged city)
Jerusalem needed freed immediately- after almost half a millennium of peaceful rule and tolerance. The price: the entire route thru Europe was pillaged raped and plundered..
Federal judge keeps Georgia ban on giving out food, water in election lines
August 19, 2022
Supporters of the restriction argue that it prevents voters from being influenced at polling places.

A federal judge declined Friday to block a portion of Georgia’s controversial election law that bars handing out snacks and drinks to voters waiting in line within a certain distance of a polling place.
US District Judge J.P. Boulee rejected a bid for a preliminary injunction by liberal advocacy groups, who argued the ban infringed on their right to free speech.
Boulee’s ruling means activists will be prohibited from distributing food and drinks within 150 feet of a polling place or within 25 feet of any person in line during this year’s general election.
The judge noted that the 25-foot buffer around individuals in line was likely unconstitutional because it was not tied to a fixed location, unlike the 150-foot zone around a polling place. However, Boulee agreed with state officials who argued that it was too close to Election Day to change the law, as well as that implementing different rules for the Nov. 8 vote would only cause confusion among poll workers and voters.
Supporters of the restriction argue that it prevents voters from being influenced by operatives offering free food or water at polling places.
Georgia’s Election Integrity Act was decried by Democrats after its passage last year, with prominent Democrats pressing corporations to boycott the Peach State in response.
Major League Baseball pulled its 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta in protest of the law, moving the game to Denver.
Hollywood star Will Smith announced that because of the law, his production company would no longer film the antebellum drama “Emancipation” in the state.
Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines, Merck, UPS, JP Morgan Chase, Microsoft, and Facebook were among the myriad companies that expressed concerns over voter suppression in the wake of the law’s passage.
The law was also distorted by none other than President Biden, who falsely claimed in March 2021 that it “ends voting hours early” and described it in May last year as “Jim Crow in the 21st century.”

See inside Siegfried & Roy’s Las Vegas compound ahead of demolition
August 19, 2022
The palatial property the flamboyant German-American duo Siegfried & Roy called home isn’t long for this world, but pictures of it are certain to preserve its opulence in amber.
For more than three decades, Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn called a 100-acre Las Vegas estate their own. Nicknamed Little Bavaria, the decadent property is set to be demolished following the duo’s deaths — Horn’s in 2020, aged 75, from COVID-19 complications, and Fischbacher’s last year, aged 81, after a fight with terminal pancreatic cancer.
In its place, a 334-unit apartment complex is planned, the Daily Mail reports. The new building seems destined not to hold a candle to Little Bavaria with its aquatic park, private chapel and its celebrity-laced collection of relics — including a clock once owned by Napoleon, gifted gold candelabras from Liberace and a gem-encrusted sword said to once have been Genghis Khan’s.

Jackson Hole
Aspen
the list goes on and on. AZ mafia- was there ever any resolution about the millions in cash in Janet Napolitano's university office?
"The University of California hid a stash of $175 million in secret funds while its leaders requested more money from the state, an audit released on Tuesday said.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the audit found that the secret fund ballooned due to UC Office of the President overestimating how much is needed to run the school system that includes 10 campuses in the state. Janet Napolitano, the former Department of Homeland Security chief, is in charge of the school system.
Napolitano denied the audit’s claim. She reportedly said the money was held for any unexpected expenses. Her office also denied the amount in the fund.
“The true amount is $38 million, which is roughly 10 percent of (the office’s) operating and administrative budget, a prudent and reasonable amount for unexpected expenses such as cybersecurity threat response and emerging issues like increased support for undocumented students and efforts to prevent sexual violence and sexual harassment,” her office said in a statement.
Elaine Howle, the state auditor who came up with the report, found that from 2012 to 2016 the office looked to raise more funding by inflating estimates. Howle also said that a top staff member in Napolitano’s office improperly screened confidential surveys that were sent to each campus. Howle said answers that were critical of Napolitano’s office were deleted or changed before being sent to auditors.
“I’ve never had a situation like that in my 17 years as state auditor,” Howle said. “My attorneys are looking at whether any improper government activities occurred.”
The UC Board of Regents is now hearing calls to overturn its decision to increase tuition this fall by 2.5 percent.
Howle said Napolitano also overcharged the system's 10 campuses to fund its operations, paid its employees significantly more than state employees and interfered in the auditing process.
"Taken as a whole, these problems indicate that significant change is necessary to strengthen the public's trust in the University of California," Howle wrote in the report.
The audit found that over the course of four years, the UC's central bureaucracy amassed more than $175 million in reserve funds by spending significantly less than it budgeted for and asking for increases in future funding based on its previous years' over-estimated budgets rather than its actual expenditures.
"In effect, the Office of the President received more funds than it needed each year, and it amassed millions of dollars in reserves that it spent with little or no oversight," the report said.
Napolitano argues the amount accounts for 10 percent of the operating and administrative budget. She called it "a modest amount for an organization our size."

Pakistan charges former leader Imran Khan under terrorism act
August 21, 2022
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Imran Khan, Pakistan’s former prime minister, has been charged under the country’s anti-terrorism act, in the latest chapter of the tense struggle for power with Pakistan’s current government since his ouster.
Sunday’s move came a day after Khan addressed a rally and criticized top police officials and a judge for the arrest of his chief of staff. Police said in a charge report that Khan had threatened the officials.
“The way Imran Khan made his speech and the threats he made led to fear and terror among the police, judiciary and the common people and it harmed the peace of country,” they wrote in the report.
Since Khan was ousted from power in April, he has held a string of boisterous rallies castigating the government. The former cricket star has maintained his strong political base and gained momentum in local elections. By contrast, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who replaced Khan, has made little progress in addressing the dire economic crisis that sent consumer prices skyrocketing.
Hours after news of the charge broke, hundreds of Khan’s supporters gathered outside his residence in Islamabad, the capital, in an effort to prevent his arrest.
“Imran Khan’s arrest is a ‘red line’ for us. If this line is crossed that would lead to something very bad, not good for the people and for the country,” said Murad Saeed, a senior official of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, which is led by Khan.
“We want to remain within the bounds of the constitution, but people are upset, very angry,” he said, warning the popular unrest could “destroy” the sitting government.
With political tensions rising, Pakistan launches media crackdown
Saeed and other party leaders have called on thousands more to come to Islamabad and “protect their leader.”
Khan’s chief of staff, Shahbaz Gill, was arrested earlier this month after he made comments on a talk show that the government deemed “anti-military." Khan alleges that Gill was tortured during his imprisonment, a claim the government denies.
Khan and his party already faced a partial media ban. Authorities have prohibited the live broadcast of his speeches and the news channel that Gill made his remarks on was banned. Two news anchors associated with the same channel fled the country after reportedly being harassed by the government.
