Now Above Ground (Pinned Post, Newer Content Follows Below)

Because of the gravity of the news, which will probably mean a flood of new details and developments, and the chances that this will drastically affect Missouri state politics, I have made this a “sticky” post.

Me, April 29, 2017:

Greitens buying in Innsbrook. 

Add this to the fact that he lives in Creve Coeur while his wife lives in the CWE, (and remember she was jacked close to where she lives back during her husband’s transition period), and I’m just waiting for all the gossip about the unconventionality of their marriage to break the blood-brain barrier.

What also helped fuel this gossip was that there was a lot of serious talk that, between the times of Greitens winning the election and being inaugurated, that Sheena Greitens would not be living in the Governor’s Mansion.

Guess what crossed over from the below ground to the above ground tonight, coinciding with the State of the State speech earlier this evening.

This isn’t quite that, but there’s always more time for more to come out.

We also will eventually find out how their buying in Innsbrook relates to the unconventionality of their marriage.

* The bit about the S&M nudie/blackmail isn’t going away so easily, if at all, and will be why Mike Parson should be measuring for drapes right about now.

* There’s now calls for Hawley to investigate.  Especially in this #MeToo climate, he’ll fire all four barrels at Greitens, especially if he thinks he needs to in order to beat Claire in November.

* Then, there’s this.  Though if one wants to think this diminishes the credibility, then why did they want whatever news outlet would run with it to time it to the State of the State?  What real political damage does that cause?

* Gardner is opening a probe.

* John Hancock claims that “party officials didn’t know about the story.”  They didn’t know about this particular story, but believe me, the less than conventional nature of the Greitens marriage has been talked about in the grapevines that Hancock is plugged into since he became a serious candidate.

* According to the ex-husband of the woman Greitens allegedly blackmailed, the FBI has interviewed both him and his ex-wife.  The FBI has not yet confirmed or refuted.

1/13

* The woman now says she didn’t want this to come out at all and that the ex-husband betrayed her trust by shopping this story to the local media.

1/16

* It is my sense, reading between the lines of the news and things that people are saying,  that Republican members of the General Assembly generally lean on the side of believing the blackmail accusation.

* Now, some of the above are going on record openly with resignation calls.

* It’s getting deeper.  First off, she has to be related to Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer, but I can’t remember precisely how offhand.  Second, while it’s not proof that the blackmail accusation is true, I think it’s indicative of something.

* And deeper still. It all depends on what the FBI, and maybe the U.S. Attorney, and Kim Gardner, all think. I don’t think that the timing of this and now four General Assembly Republicans calling for his resignation is a coincidence.

1/22

* FBI’s St. Louis office confirms an open active investigation.

Your Blogmeister’s Secret Hideout

Originally posted November 15, 2017, and frequently updated since then

This is a “sticky” post.

Since I’ve written many posts since my return to functional coherence in mid-November, any posts about my condition I wrote here upon my return, and also subsequent ones, are buried in the avalanche. So, I’m going to use the opportunity of this sticky post to link to them directly.

Between my return to functional coherence, and the restoration of most of my short term memory in mid-January, for that about two month time period, I was not inherently able to remember most people who I either knew or knew of for about five years or less.

Norm’s post on July 20, the day after the fact, just so you know what precisely happened, in case you don’t already

Norm’s post one month, then two months, then three months, after the fact.  The post summarizing September doesn’t state this directly, but I had a second hospitalization stint in the middle of the month, after which I was moved to what is still to this day as I write this my secret hideout

Best News In Months — Norm’s post on November 13 predicating my return

Hello World (Take Two) — My first post here, that evening, after almost four long months

One more thing:  If the post starts with a geographical moniker of some sort, it’s me doing the writing.  If it starts with “Guest post by Puggg,” it’s Norm, the best friend anyone could ever have, doing the writing.

The Wherefores and Whys

Jefferson City

The complaints.

Basically, they boil down to:

1. Primary seat belt

2. Toddler booster seats

3. Texting while driving

4. Open container

The reason for (1) is that since the General Assembly black legislative caucus always made a lot of stuck pig squealing about MUH RAYSHUL PWOFYWING whenever this was attempted in the past, everyone else in the General Assembly has just given up on the matter, meaning that there’s no real desire to try to get it done, even now when it would seem the black caucus is as powerless as ever.

I don’t know what’s up with (2).

I’m of course very very very interested in (3) for very personal reasons, and you already know why it is the way it is.

As far as (4), we know the real reason why Missouri is one of the few states that permit open container. Hint: Off of 55 and Arsenal. And also, I’ve never understood the social and political mechanics of open container — Even if passengers can drink, it never gives the driver permission to drink.

Philadelphia Family Values

Philadelphia

Though there is something that is auspiciously missing in this long missive. Though it’s not so much “missing” as it was inordinately downplayed. Let’s see if anyone picks up on it.

The race to the gold star starts…NOW.

Pamphleteers

St. Louis City

Two different Channel 2s in one.

SHOT:

St. Louis’ four trauma centers are trying to keep people out of their hospitals with a new violence prevention program.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the St. Louis Area Hospital-Based Violence Intervention Program will add social workers at Barnes-Jewish, SSM Health St. Louis University and SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s hospitals. The initiative is an expansion of the Victims of Violence program at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.

The social workers will visit injured children and adults in the hospitals, and then as often as weekly for up to a year after they’re released. Each victim will set goals related to education, job training or relationships.

The project is funded by a $1.6 million grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health. It’s sponsored by the Institute for Public Health at Washington University.

CHASER:

Police have arrested a St. Louis teen in the shooting death of a man found dead in his crashed car last week.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the 17-year-old told officers that he shot 26-year-old Rashauwn Haley because he felt cheated in a drug deal.

The teen was charged Friday with first-degree murder and armed criminal action in Haley’s death. He remains in custody on $1 million bail.

The Associated Press does not generally name juveniles charged with a crime.

Same source, same day.  And also, no pun intended when I wrote “SHOT.”  Note that, as of the time of this writing, and per Missouri law, a 17-year old criminal suspect is an adult, not a juvenile, so you can go ahead and name the Norwegian.

All in all, the conclusion is that Rashauwn Haley was murdered because of his lack of goals.

If they really wanted to do something that worked, they would put large banners at the main entrances that read, “AVOID THE GROID.”

Also, why isn’t this effort being established at the ERs at Mercy and Holy Tony’s?  After all, problacktards assure us that there’s all this secret murdering going on in white suburbs that the cops or someone else cover up.  I imagine, though, it’s for the same reason why radio buys for gun buyback programs only seem to be heard on the hip hop and R&B stations, but never the classical or country stations, though I’d rather be a whore farting in church than advertise a gun buyback program on a country station.

Tony’s Getting Quite a Reputation

Downtown

Far and wide.  Though it probably won’t get any better when I tell you all that Tony Messenger has put out a contract on me on the dark web.

Or maybe not.

In all seriousness, I’ll often shred apart many Messenger op-eds like a vulture at a carcass, but I skipped the one discussed here of maybe about a week ago, because it was just that ridiculous.  Too ridiculous to waste my time, even though I’ve got plenty of time to waste these days.

Challenge Machine

Memphis

From the same group of people that I see during my involuntary sojourn brought you the For That Dick Challenge and For That Pussy Challenge, we now have…

…The No Lackin Challenge.

“What’s ‘Lackin?'”

You’re about to find it.

To beat all, a big percentage of the kind of people who will play the No Lackin’ Challenge have felony convictions, and therefore are supposed to be lackin’.

And also, this is really going to end well.

Another Chapter

Washington, D.C.

I don’t buy the idea that Trump was serious about this plan (in terms of something that is meant to be implemented) for one moment. I think this is 3D chess, him proposing something way softer than what he wants, just to expose the Democrats’ fanaticism and extremism on the immigration issue.

Another hint is that he sent Miller Time to Capitol Hill to try to sell this deal, and everyone knows that Miller Time wants way way way more. I anticipate that if there’s any grand bargain in terms of legislation, it will be “legal status” (permanent deportation forbearance plus work permit but no de jure citizenship path) for some alien minors, in exchange for the sun, moon, stars, galaxies and galactic superclusters otherwise.

This leads me to another chapter in my life’s unfinished dissertation in powerology: I say X about you, or you show X about yourself. We all know which is more powerful. Which means that if I want it to be established in the minds of as many people as possible that you are X, I could just come out and say X about you, but I know it’s way more powerful and permanent to arrange a set of circumstances where I bait you into showing X about yourself — That I did bait you will get lost in the process.

The Photo

Washington, D.C.

So, it was taken in 2005, and whoever had it decided to sit on it until now, because it would have ruined Mr. Obama’s political career.

Reality check:

If Jeremiah Wright didn’t ruin him, then Louis Farrakhan wouldn’t have.

Let me put it to you another way:  A world where this would have ruined him is a world where Al Sharpton would have been neither seen nor heard after Tawana Brawley.  Yet, in our world, Sharpton was a frequent guest at the White House during the Obama Administration.
