Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | FBI Seized Biden Notebooks That May Contain Classified InformationNotebooks President Biden used during his time as vice president that may reference classified information were among the material seized by the FBI during a search of his Delaware home last week, according to a report. The notebooks include some of the 80-year-old president's writings related to his official White House business, such as notes on diplomatic engagements during his time as Barack Obama's vice president, according to NBC News. While the notebooks themselves did not have classified markings, according to the report, some of Biden's handwritten notes inside them may reference sensitive material. A person familiar with the investigation told the news outlet that the president had a "large" collection of notebooks with handwritten notes on both personal and official subject matter, including his family life and his experiences or thoughts as vice president. Because some of the notes related to official business at the White House, they could be subject to the Presidential Records Act and should have been handed over to the National Archives at the end of the Obama presidency.I think this is a defensive leak for Biden's benefit, suggesting to the public that all the FBI found was notebooks. We'll see if that turns out to be true. My hunch: Nah. The bigger news is that Hunter Biden's emails suggest that he was in possession of classified information himself. Was he reading Ukraine documents Lunchbucket Joe brought home for him, or was he just going out to the SCIF Corvette Hanger and reading? "Thoughts" from the crackhead. Give me a break. That reference was about "tempering expectations" about Lunchbucket Joe's trip. The suggestion is that The Sage of Scranton could blow the rendezvous with a gaffe. Was Lunchbucket Joe jotting down classified information into his notebooks to relay to Hunter, thereby increasing Hunter's value to foreign gangsters and potentates? Note Biden's assistant Katie Chung -- recommended to him by Hunter -- scrambling to find Biden's "note cards." And note that she asks Hunter Biden if he knows where Joe Biden's note cards are. From Andrew Kerr and Joseph Simonson of the Free Beacon. Ted Cruz now demands that the FBI search Hunter's home and office for Joe's classified documents, too. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Sunday suggested the FBI should search the home and office used by Hunter Biden for any classified materials after such documents were found at President Biden's home in Delaware and a Washington, D.C., office he'd previously used. "It seems he leaves classified documents wherever he goes. And we also know that Hunter Biden at times was -- declared his residence to be those very same places," Cruz told host Maria Bartiromo on Fox News Channel's "Sunday Morning Futures."The National Archives is asking presidents and vice-presidents to check their residences for classified documents-- no FBI raid for them, just a request. And no request that Hunter Biden check his crack squirrel-holes for classified documents. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I'm sticking with my theory: the WH bypassed the DOJ and ordered the FBI to raid Trump in hopes of embarrassing him. When it went south, they made Garland go out and eat a bowl of shit. His revenge is to have the DOJ tell every other former elected official, "we know that you have classified docs. Turn them back over." Hence why suddenly people have lawyers searching through closets and storage boxes.

I think this is a defensive leak for Biden's benefit, suggesting to the public that all the FBI found was notebooks.
++++ Perhaps, but it also might be a defensive leak in a different context: to erode the meaning of "classified information," especially as it relates to high officials. Things like notebooks usually end up in presidential libraries and the like. They often contain "classified information." There is a ton of "classified information" that doesn't need to be, because the government likes keeping secrets and its operators like feeling important. A leak like this could be to try to deflect the public into thinking it is all trivialities (and it might be, but probably not), or it could be to try to deflect the public into just assuming that "classified" == "trivial, probably" - unless, of course, you try to FOIA something.

The National Archives is asking presidents and vice-presidents to check their residences for classified documents-- no FBI raid for them, just a request.
++++ Yup. So far, I'm sticking my theory on why this is happening, and this action by NARA isn't inconsistent with what I think is going on. There will be more leaks about more people who have classified materials they shouldn't. The condition becomes normalized, they acknowledge a classified materials handling problem, issue some retraining and announce some essentially meaningless new controls and punishments (meaningless because they will not be generally enforced), underscore how it is the cooperation with DoJ and NARA that sets it apart from the Trump incident, and then we all just walk away from it with the comforting knowledge that our elites have been retrained and will be much better in the future.

We give in to the dominant narrative when we concede that these “classified” documents contain anything particularly sensitive. Rather, what is true is that the federal government over-classifies obsessively. I’d bet 90% of documents with classification markings contain no truly sensitive info like nuclear secrets or identities of spies…. This is all of sound and fury signifying nothing.

NOBODY CARES ABOUT THIS. Nobody cared about it when they raided MaL and nobody cares about it now. It's just a bunch of hypertechnical mumbo-jumbo that deliberately obfuscates what's really in the documents. It's like private litigation where every document to be produced is stamped "confidential." If there is some truly serious, dangerous "classified" information in any of these documents, then maybe -- maybe -- someone would care. But until that happens -- and I highly doubt it ever will -- then this is nothing more than a bureaucratic problem.

Linus Van Pelt Johnson with a key point. Look at those excerpted bits about events in Ukraine. Just obvious speculation or mundane universally known things. Johnson of Wisconsin, who seems like one of the few elected GOP worth anything, is just going with the current dumb script I guess.
Trump had plenary classification authority, and his team and DOJ/NARA were sparring over things, and the FBI had been to M a L previously specifically to inspect the situation. The raid was indefensible, and remains the story. And a country so degraded that Biden could be in the WH, and his pathetic family involved in his corruption and misbehavior, sort of just speaks for itself.

Posted by: The ARC of History! at January 30, 2023 12:19 PM (2tUFv) ++++ This will potentially be important. Insurance makes the world go 'round, and insurance for Russian vessels is already a non-starter. Various countries have gotten together to issue pseudo-insurance for those vessels, but nobody know how (or if) it actually works. When the ban on insurance is extended - which it probably will be - to include any vessel carrying Russian oil products, then one of two things will happen: 1. The insurance system will fracture, and national players are going to hammer out the details and it will get very confusing and terribly expensive but still function 2. Russian exports (by sea, anyway) will essentially end Place your bets. My bet is that this is sort of what the earlier stages of a breakup of globalization looks like.

6 I'm sticking with my theory: the WH bypassed the DOJ and ordered the FBI to raid Trump in hopes of embarrassing him. When it went south, they made Garland go out and eat a bowl of shit. His revenge is to have the DOJ tell every other former elected official, "we know that you have classified docs. Turn them back over." Hence why suddenly people have lawyers searching through closets and storage boxes.
Posted by: Colorado Alex in Exile at January 30, 2023 12:03 PM (wmDcS) Naaah. As you may recall, Wray conveniently went on vacation when the raid took place.

If you want to tap into gold mines of information, just monitor all the muckety mucks. They spill classified information all the time. And even if it's not classified, it's still valuable.
I remember when the story of Hillary's "bathroom server" broke and it was revealed that she was using an email account outside of govt networks. I said at that time that classified info would be the cherry on top of the sundae, but that I would still want to read the account for insight into what went on in that crazy woman's mind.

This will potentially be important. Insurance makes the world go 'round, and insurance for Russian vessels is already a non-starter. Various countries have gotten together to issue pseudo-insurance for those vessels, but nobody know how (or if) it actually works.
Yeah, the assumption was that since Western firms currently control the insurance market, that that would be a stranglehold on Russian efforts to ship oil at above the sanctions price. Who knew that there would be new entrants to the insurance market - many of them fronts backed by Russian state-owned firms? Other things are going on - the UAE is suddenly importing a lot more Russian oil, mixing it with its own crude, and reexporting it as "UAE oil", and enough tankers have entered the grey market to handle Russian exports. The arrogance of thinking that the West could successfully force Russian oil to be sold at $25/barrel less than the world price worldwide is just astonishing. Top Men.

If his VP were competent, he'd be out by now - but because she's not, he's not going anywhere. Buttigieg is toast, so he's not moving up either. The Dems have nobody on deck; they'll need to wait until Wes Moore is ready in '28, although if they can push him out there in '24 they won't hesitate. The press is on Biden now, but, knowing that this is going nowhere, they see this as their chance to prove to conservatives that they can treat him like they did Trump, so it's a win for them as well.

All the "misplaced" classified stuff that was spread around Hunter's various places, must be gathered and investigated by some special agency, so it can be hidden in the "Under Investigation" lock boxes for at least a decade.

So new entities springing up to meet a demand (transport and purchase of Russian oil at near-world prices) is perfectly normal, and if anything reflects many of the changes that are vaguely painted with the "globalization" brush. 50 years ago, no way could anything like this happen. Now, there are ample resources, structures, entities in various regions and with varying degrees of association with geopolitical camps to get 'er done.

There's a picture of Klaus on the beach where he's naked except for what appears to be a very small yarmulke covering his apparently microscopic junk.

The Seiko 5 was on my list, actually. But the wife convinced me that I didn't need it for my 'backup' watch. So...$11 watch it is.
- I understand completely. I don't know what they cost now, but prior to 2020 they were $50 or so. I don't think you can buy a better watch for twice that. They're fantastic little mechanical pieces, and if you stop wearing it it stops running. I've got one my son is already trying to get me to let him wear. I probably will, just because he seems to understand that it's moving away from his kid watches. I'm just sort of amazed he wants to wear a watch at all.

Posted by: Diogenes at January 30, 2023 12:38 PM (anj39) Yes! My other backup watch was also an Armitron and it's still running after like 14 years of negelect. Just the band rotted.

Except before you know it it would be the watch you wear all the time. Posted by: You have to admit it's an awesome way to kick off Black People Month at January 30, 2023 12:32 PM (vuQMF) ++++ I have a Seiko 5 and another watch that uses a *very* closely related Seiko works. They're excellent and (usually) cheap automatics. For something a little nicer, look at the "Orient" brand. They're made by the Epson part of Seiko-Epson and are extremely nice, very good (good at keeping time and being reliable) and quite affordable. I'd really like a Grand Seiko spring drive, which might be the finest engineering every put into a watch, but I just can't bring myself to buy one. Maybe if I get married.

The Problem of Evil was used to support Dualist views (two separate Evil and Good Gods).
Augustine's "On Free Choice of the Will" addresses the arguments and is foundational in western philosophy on the topic if you've got some curiosity about it. Quite obviously the Problem of Evil does not support Atheist views as for them it becomes "the Problem of things I dislike".

The biggest scandal of the "missing Clinton emails" was not the 30,000 destroyed emails, but the obvious implications of a grossly unsecured server, carrying top level SOS emails for years.
I've heard many accounts from people like Nunez that her server was likely, actively hacked by any number of malign foreign actors. The SOS, of course, is regularly in direct and indirect communication with POTUS, using the highest levels of intelligence, and discussing the most strategic levels of our foreign and military policy. That is, the highest levels of WH, strategic policy (e.g. what we would do if so-and-so lobbed a nuke at an ally, or what we would not do), the readiness and strength of our forces, our real concerns, what we don't know about our adversaries, our "secret" commitments etc etc were likely all made known by our adversaries for years --through Hillary's server. Hillary's unsecured server meant that the Chinese, Russians etc effectively had a seat at all our National Security Council meetings for her entire term of office. Worse than Kim Philby. But that was never even the story. Just "missing emails..." Posted by: Zek at January 30, 2023 12:47 PM (5FPX4) 285

Joe M. this may be verging into a semantic squabble, but I'd say a regional pattern for something like this still just is part of a global bigger picture. Oil is one of the most homogenous rational global markets there is, and always was. Logistical, cartel, and technical factors aside. So Russian oil is probably mostly going to customers who were buying it before 2/24/22, or when not, those customers are substituting it for the oil they were buying then.
In any case, sanctions can have a place and effect on geopolitical or other conditions, but it's very case-dependent, success is rare. Countries that occupy a quarter of the planet's land mass and border a zillion other countries are not very good prospects to influence via sanctions.

>>> 275 The Problem of Evil was used to support Dualist views (two separate Evil and Good Gods).
Augustine's "On Free Choice of the Will" addresses the arguments and is foundational in western philosophy on the topic if you've got some curiosity about it. Quite obviously the Problem of Evil does not support Atheist views as for them it becomes "the Problem of things I dislike". Problem of Evil starts by acknowledging the existence of objective evil and good.

261 242. Then we'll agree to disagree. Ukes know that US pols are greedy, dirty, and very compromised, and it's cost us billions. Yeah, the military contractors want money, but this level of involvement in Ukraine doesn't even seem logical.
Posted by: CN --------- Think back on why the career military, pols, and contractors wanted us to stay in backwaters like Afghanistan or Syria or did not want us to leave Vietnam. Essentially, we have been blowing away about 50-70 billion bucks per year on 'contingency' operations that were not in the regular defense budgets. Think about how few, even on the left, politicians demand peace and disengagement. Same for media. Ditto for career military officers or places like Rand or Brookings. It is not just the pols involved in Ukraine but a big chunk of our elites in media, think tanks, bureaucracy, and the military. Note how the military is reacting to a potential nuclear war threat in a conflict with Russia or China is versus their plaintive wails in public and Congress over leaving Afghanistan or Syria during the Trump years.

Posted by: Helena Handbasket at January 30, 2023 12:52 PM (llON ![]() So within the NT there are verses that imply different levels of rewards. Such as in the prodigal son, the brother who complains is reminded that he is the foremost heir, or "If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss. He himself will be saved, but only as if through the flames." Theologically, Catholics acknowledge the existence of hierarchy and differences in the degrees of rewards. So Catholic sources on the topic address this quite directly in their framework. There may be Protestant or Reformed sects that do as well, I can't claim broad knowledge there.

Handwaving, strawmen and childish insults don't eliminate the tension between positing an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, good, just, and righteous God, and the utter horror that is existence for so many people over the course of human history.

Theologically, Catholics acknowledge the existence of hierarchy and differences in the degrees of rewards. So Catholic sources on the topic address this quite directly in their framework.
There may be Protestant or Reformed sects that do as well, I can't claim broad knowledge there. 1 Corinthians 15:40-41 "There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory."

Yes, I know. A whole lot of the Bible shows Zoroastrian tells. The trinity for a Zoroastrian was the uncreated god and the two created gods. But note, there was an uncreated god that did the creating.

Got any recommendations for the "equal pay" concept - the guy hired at the end of the day gets the same reward - which I thought was meant to explain that even the most evil people could repent at the last minute and still escape Stan with (apparently) zero consequences?
- I don't know how heaven or God works, but it's my understanding that there are different rewards after the big one. Recompense according to deeds iirc. Salvation and reward isn't the same, although yeah, salvation is awesome and not something you can do.

343 The Seiko 5 is a fantastic little watch
I don't know what the '5' signifies but I'm on my third Seiko since high school (spoiler: I'm not really 29). I think I have spent less $$ on watches in my entire life than I spent on the one Movado I gave my son for Christmas a few years ago. Seiko is kinda like the Toyota Camry of watches. Not flashy, not gonna impress anyone, just keep working well with minimal maintenance until you're tired of looking at it. Posted by: Oddbob at January 30, 2023 12:56 PM (nfrXX) I have a couple of Maratac micro-brand watches from a place called County Comm that are fantastic. They use a Seiko automatic movement, and the designs are great, and (originally) less than $250 apiece. I guess they figured out what a great deal they were, because you now can't get them for less than $500. I have a dress watch, but these are my go-to watches for everyday use.

It's a cultural thing. Boys are told "you will eat shit with a smile, forever, and count yourself lucky if anything good ever happens... No matter how hard you work, it likely won't. You suck."
Girls are told "you can expect everything to be perfect all the time, without regard to effort of any kind, because you are AWESOME " --- Well said. Posted by: Trainwreck: Billions of people stuck with a broken immune response at January 30, 2023 01:18 PM (em09h) 437
Lost my Seiko while loading first cutting square bales in the field. Next year, up in the country again to load hay, Pop pulls out this stainless thing and asks if it's mine.
My watch stayed in the field through two or three cuttings, was baled, sold to a rancher/farmer who later cracked a bale open, discovered a watch and returned it to the hay man who asked around if anyone had lost a watch. It hadn't lost a minute of time. Posted by: Braenyard, _ want nuremberg trials? badger your congressman at January 30, 2023 01:17 PM (oQbRJ) Dang. That's worthy of a "takes a licking" kind of ad.

444. Well there is certainly a good segment of society that has the mindset that a really beautiful woman can do no wrong and she can have the brass ring while doing bupkis to earn it. Perhaps the radical feminists have expanded that to every woman can expect that.

Sorry, wrong link. Correct one:
"Gene Kranz joined NASA after serving as a fighter pilot in the Korean War. At NASA Kranz was a major player in the Gemini and Apollo programs (for which he was later awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1970). While the Apollo astronauts were equipped with Speedmasters, Gene wore a Seiko 5, 6119-8460 Sports Diver during the late 60s and early 70s. It was on his wrist when the Apollo 11 crew touched down on the lunar surface, when the Apollo 13 explosion occurred, and throughout the remainder of his career at NASA.

Posted by: AK at work at January 30, 2023 01:18 PM (o+IHV) The US subsidized the Soviet bioweapons researchers so they wouldn't go and make bioweapons for rogue states, but they left them in Ukraine. It is a black-box research since it is technically in violation of all those treaties, so they don't report to anyone. And the money is sloshing around there, and attracts thieves like Daszak and the like. So then the loonies decide to brew up bioweapons and export the production to rogue states while making sure the graft and kickbacks keep going to the oversight and regulatory groups Posted by: Kindltot at January 30, 2023 01:30 PM (xhaym) 473

I have zero doubt that these Biden notebooks contained classified material. A document is not considered classified because it has a security classification marking, but rather due to containing information that has been assigned a security classification.
Even when all of his synapses were firing, he was a malevolent imbecile. Even if he had no criminal intent (a big question mark, since we now know about his influence peddling and "10% for the Big Guy"), he is stupid enough to have linked data within a notebook to make it classified.
