Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.), asked at a town hall on Tuesday whether Schumer should "retire or step down," nodded her head and said "yes." Ramirez's comments have not previously been reported. The liberal group Indivisible has also called on Schumer to resign as leader. Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.) also followed suit at a town hall on Tuesday.

A Japanese district court on Wednesday rejected a request for an injunction against nighttime and early morning flights at Atsugi Air Base, which is used jointly by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces and the U.S. military.
Jack Is Busted.Based on a post by Quinn_McMullen, in 7 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels.Chapter 14.Friday was a damp, miserable, rainy day. The wind was whipping and I was thankful to have a roof over my head. After I saw Zoë off on her day, I spent a couple hours working on my lesson plans for the coming weeks of classes. I worked on my research a bit, and then had a nice lunch. That afternoon I got out my bass guitar and started practicing pieces our band used to play. Based on Francesca’s promise to get gigging again, I downloaded our old repertoire and was playing them on the stereo, playing along to get the timing and rhythm down. It was about half past five and I was having a grand old time.The piece ended, “Damn you’re good.”I must have jumped a foot off the ground. It took me a moment or two to catch my breath, “Damn it Chris! Don’t do that to old people.”She was laughing, “I’m sorry. You were really going and I didn’t want to interrupt you. I take it you are taking Francesca’s idea to get the band together at face value.”“I’m hoping.”Chrissy smiled mischievously, “Well my dear Quinn, I have brought us a 12-pack and we’re going to celebrate.”“What?” I set my Fender in the guitar stand, turned off the amp, and took the proffered can.She said, “Let’s go into the living room.”I took the box of beer from her. It was short a few cans. I looked at her quizzically, “Have you been drinking and driving?”“I had one on the way over. I was fine for driving.”I put the box in the refrigerator and headed to the living room. I sat on the couch hoping she would sit next to me, but instead Chrissy pulled the Ottoman in front of me. She kicked off her brown flats and sat cross-legged. She looked very professional with a pair of loose fitting beige slacks and a forest green blouse.“My lawyer just called and she got the initial report from her detective buddy.” She took a long drink and I motioned for her to continue. “Jack’s cunt is not of legal age. And, she’s his boss’ fucking daughter. He is so fucked! He’s is going to go to prison for statutory rape and be somebody’s pretty boy bitch.”I took a sip of beer. It was refreshing, “What else?”“The report has pictures. This guy used a telephoto lens. What’s the Latin? In flagrante delicto. Her name is Alexis and now I remember Jack talking about Alex from work. I think this has been going on for a long time. I wonder how long he will keep his job after his boss finds out.”“I’m thinking less than a few seconds.”“He’s looking at two to three years in jail and a $10,000 fine. Serves his cheating ass right. He’s going to have his puny ass fucked every night.”I said, “So my dearest friend, not to put a damper on your joy, but there are some other things to think about.”“I know. I haven’t started down that path yet.” She guzzled the rest of her beer.“Slow down Chrissy We have all night.”She jumped up and got another beer from the fridge.When she returned, I continued, “Jack in prison means no child support. It probably means he will not get any custody rights, maybe even zero visitation rights. When are you seeing the judge?”“Wednesday.”“Chrissy, this is probably the last weekend that you will be kid-less for some time. You will soon be a full-time single mom.”“Well, you’re a buzz kill.”“Sorry.”Chrissy took a long drink of the beer, “I bet I could get my mom to come out and help. You would like her. She’s sexy just like me, but older.” She took another long drink.“Slow down, you’re going to be plastered.”“That’s the plan.”“Please don’t. I love the sober Chrissy Let’s get some food. What do you like on your pizza?”“Pepperoni, extra cheese, and extra garlic.”I called and ordered the pizza, “Be here in twenty minutes.”Chrissy seemed to be getting tipsy, “How about going on a date with me this weekend?”“That sounds nice. I don’t think you’re going to be in good shape to go tonight though.”“Tomorrow. Where’s a good spot?”I thought a moment, “How about that new Asian place?”“Oh, I love sushi. When I was in Japan I lived on sushi and sashimi. You were over there too.”“We have an air base at Atsugi, southwest of Tokyo. Loved everything about Japan.”“I loved everything but the chikkan.”“Chikkan?”“When the men would grope you on the trains. They’d grab your ass, your crotch, your boobs. Any woman was fair game. Packed tight in those trains you’re a sitting duck. During my first week on the train, my arms were pinned. I actually had somebody go up my dress and put their finger in my cooch. Assholes.”“That’s horrible.”“I started carrying this small, sharp letter opener and any hand that touched me got stabbed.”Chrissy polished off her beer and went to the fridge for another. She called out, “Want one?”Mine was still half full, “I’m good.”She came back and sat on the Ottoman, “I gotta lose this bra.”She unbuttoned her blouse, pealed it off, and was soon topless. Chrissy's beautiful breasts immediately caused my cock to stir.“Are you back in tease mode?”“Absolutely. Tonight I am going to drive you crazy with lust.”“My dear Christina, I have been lusting after you for eight years.”“I know. You dirty old man. Lusting after young nubile women like me. Let me allow you to lust after me a little more closely.”Chrissy came and straddled my lap, facing me, her knees on either side of me on the couch. She kissed me, leading with her tongue. “Quinn, you are an absolutely great kisser.”“I think you are better.”She kissed me again. Her soft lips sent a shiver down my spine. Her smooth, warm tongue caused my heart to beat a bit faster. Chrissy placed my hand on her breast. She brought her hand to my face and moaned, her tongue probing further into my mouth.She started slurring her words a little. “So here’s a philosophical question for a philosophical doctor. Now I need to emphasize that this entire scenario is entirely hypothetical. Let’s say two friends were friends with shower benefits.”I smiled, “Oh, it is hypothetical. I don’t know anyone like that.”She kissed me, “I think you should put down your beer and place this other hand on my breast.”I cupped her soft mound. My cold fingers moved gently over her erect nipples. Goosebumps rose on her chest.Chrissy licked my earlobe and whispered, “My body is aching for you. I really need you Quinn. I need your cock inside me.”“Let’s sober you up first.”She kissed my mouth again. “I think we were having a discussion.”“Yes. Hypothetically of course.”“Yes. So if these two hypothetical people were to go on a date, could the date end romantically?”“By romantically you mean kissing and hugging?”She kissed me, “By romantically, I mean wild, passionate sex. Like fucking my lights out.”“Your lights out?"Remember, I’m asking for a friend.”“So I am not an expert on contract law, but I am assuming these two friends have some kind of agreement?”I reached for my beer and had a drink. After I set it down she returned my hand to her breast. “They do, but it only involves showering events.”“Okay. So where might these two theoretical people go on a date?”“Maybe to a nice Asian restaurant. Maybe afterward a romantic walk in the park. Maybe after that they might retire to the gentleman’s home to suck cock and eat coochie.”“Ah.”“A night of continuous orgasm.”There was a knock on the door. I said, “Pizza guy is here. You can stand to the side. He won’t see you.”I went to the door and invited the guy in from the rain. He looked to be in his twenties.I said, “How much is it?”“$22.00”He handed me a credit card receipt and I started to add a tip.Just then Chrissy came in wearing a smile and nothing else, “I’ll take the pizza.”The delivery guy was dumbfounded. She got up very close and repeated, “I said that I can take the pizza.”He took the pizza out of the thermal bag and handed it to her. She turned around and we both watched her beautiful ass sashay off to the dining room.I said, “Sorry about that,” and handed him the signed receipt.“No problem. That’s a wonderful view.”“Thanks. I’ll let her know.”I let him back out into the rain, then headed to the dining room. Chrissy had just cracked open another beer. She said, “God, Zoë is right. That is so hot to expose yourself to some unknowing guy. I am so wet.”She put her fingers in her coochie and stuck them into my mouth. I closed my eyes and sucked. Pure ambrosia. My cock stiffened further and pressed against my trousers.Chrissy placed her hand on my budge, “I love doing that to you.”She gave me a tiptoe kiss.I said, “Well, let’s eat.”I put a slice on a plate and handed it to Chrissy“Thank you kind sir.”“You are most welcome.”I got a slice for me. “Remembering that this scenario is purely hypothetical, how would these friends reach continuous orgasms?”“Well, my hypothetical friend is actually a little bit of a slut.”“Oh. What does she enjoy?”“She loves to suck cock. She loves to take a man completely in her throat. She loves the taste of cum. Although that didn’t happen very often with her loveless marriage. She loves to fuck and fuck and then fuck some more. She really needs to be fucked right now.”“Oh. That sounds like a very interesting woman. What does her friend with shower benefits enjoy?”“Hypothetically, I heard he loves to eat coochie.”“Your hypothetical friends sound like the amorous types.”“Oh, they are. Like I said, she is coming from a loveless marriage and needs to be cuddled and kissed and licked and fucked. He has been lonely for too many years.”I finished my first piece of pizza and grabbed a second slice, “I see. So how would the shower benefits agreement change? Hypothetically of course.”“Well, I’m not sure. I’m thinking that it needs to be expanded to involve lots of fucking and of course more fucking.”“I think you are very drunk.”“I am so fucking drunk. How about if I give you a blow job? I love giving blow jobs.”“Let’s get some food in you.”“How about if you fuck me? I want you to fuck me. Please fuck me?”“Why don’t we sober you up?”“Why would we want to do that?I was lost in her eyes. "My dear Christina, will you do me a really big favor?”“I will my dear Quinn.”“Can we make that your last beer?”“I thought you would love to have me drunk so you could take advantage of me.”“I would never do that to you. Can I tell you a story? A story about Roz?”“Okay. Is it sad?”“Maybe in a way. She used to have a serious drinking problem. This was about fifteen, twenty years ago. She would down one, sometimes two bottles of wine a day. This one time she got horny as hell. Walking around the house naked. Sat on my lap, pushing her breasts into my face. I got into it. I took her upstairs, started eating her coochie. I thought I was getting her close to an orgasm and she started snoring on me. Roz was so damned drunk she fell asleep while I was trying to make love to her. Whenever she was drunk, I stopped trying. Her drinking went on for a long time after that. We eventually patched things up, but I would never try anything when she had been drinking. Can you see why I would love to have you sober this evening?”Chrissy stood up and kissed my lips. She strutted to the kitchen. She walked back empty handed, “I poured it down the sink. I hope you don’t mind garlic breath.”“I live for garlic breath.”“I’m really sorry. Please don’t hate me.”“I could never hate you.”“I’m pretty fucked up right now.”“Eat some pizza.”She came over next to me, “Can you move your chair out a little so I can sit on you?”I slid my chair out and Chrissy threw her leg over so that she sat on my lap facing me; her hands behind my neck. “Thank you for sharing that with me. I promise I will never do that to you. Well, I promise once I get sober. Right now I am wet for you.”“Chrissy, I am not going to take advantage of you.”She kissed me, “Quinn, please. I really need you to fuck me hard and then fuck me some more.”“Chrissy..”She pressed her mouth against mine, probing with her tongue. “Let me at least suck your cock.”“Chrissy, I want you to sober up first.”“Just my fucking luck! I fall in love with a goddamn gentleman!”“Here, let’s get some food in you to absorb some of the alcohol.”Tears started to flow. “Quinn, you have no idea how much I fucking love you.”“Yes, I do.”“Okay, you do, but I need you. I need you to make me cum. All I keep thinking about is when you made me cum. Please, make me cum?”“All in due time.”“Fuck! You’re impossible.”She stood up and staggered backward.I grabbed her arm and steadied her. “I’ll tell you what. Let me take you up to my bed and I’ll snuggle with you. When you’re sober, I’ll make you cum.”“Okay. That’s a deal!”I led her up the stairs.At the top Chrissy gagged, “I’m gonna puke.”She ran to the toilet and I found her on her knees, retching. I pulled her hair back out of the way and knelt behind her.After several minutes she mumbled, “God, I feel like an ass.”“Here, let me help you up.”I got her to her feet and led her to the sink where I wiped her face. I had her drink some water to help with hydration. “Let’s get you into bed.”“Will you fuck me?”“Eventually, but not now.”I got her under the covers, then stripped and got in behind her. I spooned her with one hand under her head, and one on her hip. I pressed my erection against her ass crack.“That feels so nice. You promise you’ll fuck me?”“I promise when you are sobered up."Quinn, why are you so nice to me?”“Because I love you Chrissy”“I love you too.”In moments she was asleep.Chapter 15.When I was awakened by my clock radio at 7:30, I heard some heavy breathing. Chrissy was lying next to me on her stomach. She had thrown off the covers and her lovely ass was in plain view. I thought, she’ll have a hangover. I slipped out of bed and turned off the radio, figuring that sleep would be best for her. I went downstairs and made coffee while I red the news. The rain had passed and it promised to be a nice day.About half past eight, I went up with a mug of coffee the way she likes it with two maximum strength headache pills. I also brought up a bottle of Gatorade. I set everything on the night stand and gently kissed the side of her face. She moaned.I sat down on the bed next to her and rubbed her back and ass. “Good morning, beautiful. How are you feeling?”She moaned again. I continued rubbing. Finally, she rolled onto her side and looked at me through slitted eyelids.I grabbed the Gatorade and pills. “Here sit up. Maximum strength headache medicine.”She did as I bid, put the pills in her mouth, and shallowed some drink. “I probably look like hell.”“Yes, but a very beautiful hell.”“Did we make love last night?”“No, you had a few too many beers and I wasn’t going to take advantage of you.”She swung her legs so that she was sitting next to me, “Was I an embarrassment?”“No, but you wanted to renegotiate our agreement. If my memory serves, you wanted me to ‘fuck your lights out.’ When you were close to passing out, I brought you up and just snuggled with you. You fell asleep almost immediately.”“You are scholar and a gentleman. Any idea where my phone is?”“Probably down in your clothes. Want me to get it for you?”“If you don’t mind. I should take a shower to see if that helps. My head is killing me.”“Drink some Gatorade. That may help rehydrate you. There’s also some coffee.”I went down and retrieved her phone. She was just getting ready to climb in the shower.She opened up the phone, “Zoë wants to go hiking with Asha and Wendy. Want to go?”“Do you? You’re the one with the hangover.”“I would probably do me good. I’ll let her know. Want to come?”“Sure. It’s going to be a really nice day.”I got dressed and made us a nice breakfast of bacon and eggs. Chrissy came down in my robe and was pretty quiet for most of the meal.Eventually, she broke the silence. “So what did we negotiate last night? I can’t remember much.”“Let’s see. I distinctly remembering that you agreed to be my sex slave for life.”She slapped my arm. “I did not.”“Oh, you did. You were going to live here naked and be at my beck and call 24/7, fucking and sucking.”“No, seriously.”“You hinted at a new agreement. I didn’t take it seriously. I mentioned that this is most likely your last kid-less weekend. You thought that we should go on a date tonight.”“Oh, that sounds nice. Where are we going?”“I suggested that new Asian restaurant.”“Oh, I like that.”I asked, “Do you remember anything else from last night?”“I remember making you jump went you were playing your guitar.”“Do you remember the pizza guy?
Greek Food, Buzz-kills, & SatyrsBy Quinn_McMullen, in 8 parts. Listen to the ► Podcast at Explicit Novels. Chapter 13On Tuesday morning I had the following text exchange:Christina: Are you going to FY Convocation?Quinn: Yes. You?Christina: Can I sit with you?Quinn: Absolutely. Meet at my office at 11:15.Full-time faculty are required to attend three formal events per year: the commencement ceremonies in December and May, and the First Year Convocation at the start of the academic year. We have to wear our academic regalia, or as many faculty members call them, our wizard robes, because we look like something out of Harry Potter.As we were walking into the convocation, Chris was behind me, ensuring she would sit next to me.Francesca was slightly ahead of me in the next column, "Quinn, how was your summer?""It was nice and quiet.""Ready to start playing again?'"Just let me know when?""Maybe next week some time. I'll send out a poll for best times.""I'll look for it.""Can we use your barn to rehearse again?""Sure.As we started to file into the seats, Chris grabbed my arm and Zoë was suddenly next to me. I let her go in first. I was blessed to have my lovers on either side of me. We filed in and luckily we had seats out of the sun. I figured if the convocation went for more than ninety minutes we would be in direct sunlight. Black polyester wizard robes plus direct sunlight would mean sun-dried professors in short order.Zoë leaned over and whispered in my ear, "I imagine if everyone knew what has gone on between us."I passed the message to Chris who reached for my hand and hid it under the material.She whispered back, "They'd be scandalized."I smiled, "By the way, I love the way your hair smells."I whispered to Zoë what Chris had said and she in turn held my hand under the robes. Without a doubt, it was the best convocation I had ever been to.Wednesday morning dawned crystal clear. Overnight we had some rain showers and the temperatures could only be described as refreshing. Chris had said she wanted to run, so I was in the barn, getting my bicycle down, when she drove up.Chris got out and leaned against her car door, "Have I told you that you look good in bike shorts.""I think you have, but I don't mind hearing it again."She closed the door and revealed that she was wearing a pair of skin-tight, yellow Lyrica running shorts, her mons and pubes providing topography to the fabric.I remarked, "Speaking of looking good in shorts. You are looking good Dr. Ashby.""Do you like them? I bought them especially for you.""I love them. I may have to ride behind you so I can admire the view.""As long as you have my water, you can ride wherever you want. The neighbors might think you're a dirty old man though.""Good point."Chris stretched in the drive since the grass was wet. Soon she was running and I was practicing my bicycle domestique duties. As we were entering my drive after the run Chris got a charley horse in her calf.I put her arm over my shoulder to take off some of the weight. "Let's get you inside and I'll rub it out.""Damn this hurts."I helped her to the couch and had her lay down. She had a large knot in her right calf and I gently massaged it. Her groan was part pain, part relief.I started talking to fill the silence, "My college roommate was a runner. He was big on bananas for the potassium. Want one?""Sure."I came back with a banana and a bottle of Gatorade. "This may help with your electrolytes.""Thanks. When you get the knot out, would you mind massaging the rest of my legs?""Would I mind massaging a beautiful woman's legs? Gee, there's a difficult question to answer.""You're impossible."I began working her muscles starting with her feet. The groans started almost immediately. I worked first her right, then her left leg. Chris spread her legs as much as the couch would allow as I worked up to her crotch. I made sure to make contact with the fabric stretched across her vulva as often as possible. I jokingly apologized each time. Then I began on her glutes. I massaged them hard, but was again in teasing mode, making contact with her fabric-covered anus on several occasions.Chris groaned again, "All this is making me wet."I placed my hand over her crotch. "Yes, I think I can detect some moisture.""I think in the future, a massage will be part of any showering event. Next time I'll get naked first.""I like that idea.""Right now I think you need to lead me up to your shower and clean me really good.""It will be my pleasure.""Mine too." When my class let out on Wednesday, I headed straight to my date with Violet. Her apartment was easy to find and I was knocking on her door two minutes early.She answered it and looked surprised.I said, "Hi. What's the matter?""I've never had a guy come to my door before. Usually, they just send me a text that they're here.""I'm old school. I'll even hold the door for you.""That's so sweet."She gave me a peck on the cheek and we headed to my car. As promised, I opened the door for her. As she was getting in I was again struck by her waist-length black hair. She wore a sundress that had some kind of mustard floral pattern, a stunning match for her raven locks.When I got in, Violet gave me a nice smile, "I know my generation gives your generation a lot of shit, but I kind of enjoy this chivalry stuff."Looking at her I was struck again by her hazel eyes. They were simply enchanting.I smiled, "I don't know if I would call it chivalry. That's the way my father taught me how to treat a lady.""Well, it is very nice. I know some women might object, but I enjoy it.""So where are we going for dinner?""I thought I would give you two choices. We have a nice Italian restaurant and a new Greek place that I have heard really good things about.""They both sound great. Do you have a preference?""I've never had Greek food.""Are you feeling adventurous?""Yeah.""Then Greek it is." As we were driving I was hoping we wouldn't need reservations. Wednesdays usually weren't busy days in the restaurant world. Luckily, my hunch was correct and the hostess found us a very nice table on the patio overlooking the river.Opening the menu, Violet looked a little overwhelmed. "I'm not sure what I should get.""Is there anything you don't like?""I'm not a fan of avocados, but that's probably not an issue here."The waitress came over, "Can I get you anything to start?" She had a bit of an accent."Violet, would you like anything to drink?""A glass of chardonnay, please."The waitress nodded, "And you sir?""I think I'll have the same thing. Could we have an order of these Turkish Cigars?""I'll put that in and be back to with your wine.""Efharisto.""Parakalo."Violet smiled, "You speak Greek?""You just heard most of it.""That's funny," She read the menu, "Spinach and feta wrapped in phyllo dough then lightly fried. That sounds good.""I remember eating something like that when I was in Souda Bay, Crete."The waitress returned with two glasses of wine. "Have you had a chance to decide on an entrée?"I smiled, "Sorry, we were talking. Please give us a couple more minutes."Violet was studying the menu. "Is there anything you would recommend?""Greek food is known for lamb. Anything with it is bound to be good. I've had kuzu makarna and sarma before."Violet read aloud, "Grilled lamb tossed with linguini. I'll stop right there. That sounds wonderful."I picked up my wine glass, "Well, here's to a wonderful research assistant. Thank you so much for your help."We clinked glasses, "Here's to working with a real gentleman."The waitress returned with the appetizer. "Are you ready to order?"Violet pointed at the menu, "I would like the kuzu...""Kuzu makarna. Very good and sir?""I would like the sarma. Oh, wait I see you have souvlaki. I think I'll have that.""Very well. I'll put your order in."Violet speared a cigar and placed it on her plate.

Gary Hill is the author of "The Other Oswald" about the story of two men who began an odyssey together that became a thread, which when unraveled, reveals how Cold War paranoia escalated into the death of a president. Robert Edward Webster and Lee Harvey Oswald were manipulated like marionettes on strings of espionage. Gary joins me once again to talk about Lee Harvey Oswald and his lesser known background of his military career and time spent in Atsugi and Russia. This episode covers a bit of background on LHO but clears a few events before the fateful day in 63 when our president was killed. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/out-of-the-blank-podcast/support
On September 2, 1945, General Douglas MacArthur accepted Japan's surrender in a carefully choreographed ceremony aboard the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. Many people think that MacArthur landed in Japan after the ceremony and then began the Occupation. In fact, MacArthur had already been living in Japan for several days prior to the surrender. What was he doing during that time? How did it influence his thoughts on the surrender and Japan's future? MacArthur Memorial historians Jim Zobel and Amanda Williams discussed these questions and more on the 77th anniversary of the Japanese surrender aboard the USS Missouri.
Episode 114 is the second and last of a two episode miniseries covering the attempted murder of General Edwin Walker in Dallas on April 10, 1963. It was learned after the assassination of JFK, that Lee Harvey Oswald was the likely perpetrator of the attempt on Walker's life, based on evidence found at Ruth Paine's home and testimony provided by Oswald's wife after Oswald was murdered. Walker was an ultra conservative and high profile former army general who was a member of the John Birch society and was expelled from the military for promulgating his ultra right wing views amongst service men. The Warren commission identified this attempt on Walker's life by Oswald to be one of five stated factors that formed the possible motive for why Oswald killed the president, citing this as a prior act of violence where he demonstrated the willingness to attempt to murder a political figure using a a rifle. Join us in this rather interesting story that, like other parts of the JFK assassination, has it's own twists and turns and mysterious elements.

Our episodes have now begun to explore an array of matters that dive into a deeper darkness related to what went on that day in Dallas and in the period before and after the assassination. Matters that possibly point to a wider and more sinister plot to kill the president and that clearly call into question the theory that there was a lone assassin. Complex cases without an eyewitness that can actually identify the shooter make the forensic and circumstantial evidence that much more important. Ironically, problems abound with much of the evidence in this case. Evidence that is complex, incomplete and sometimes conflicting. Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it, were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. Stay tuned as there are many more episodes to come!This series comprehensively explores the major facts, themes, and events leading up to the assassination in Dealey Plaza and the equally gripping stories surrounding the subsequent investigation. We review key elements of the Warren Commission Report , and the role of the CIA and FBI. We explore the possible involvement of the Mafia in the murder and the review of that topic by the government's House Select Committee on Assassinations in the 1970's. We explore the Jim Garrison investigation and the work of other key figures such as Mark Lane and others.

Episode 110 is the eleventh episode in season two of JFK The Enduring Secret. We begin our wander this season with an in depth review of Lee Harvey Oswald, the principal character in the JFK assassination. Episode 110 continues with more on Oswald's life when he was in Russia, but this episode is a wander. And it's a discussion about why the KGB (perhaps) has maintained over all these years that, while they applied intense surveillance of Oswald while he was in Minsk, they did not "debrief" him in any attempt to learn military secrets or redirect him to become a spy. Whether that was true or not raises many questions, and a wander into the world of the KGB helps us to understand more around this quizzical topic.

In this episode we continue our discussion of the CIA mind control program MKUltra. We go into greater depth regarding the experiments conducted on American citizens. We explain just what 'Operation Midnight Climax' is, and why it deserves its name. We also learn that the CIA did not limit itself to experimenting on Americans; they experimented on Canadian citizens as well! Bill sheds some light on secret detention camps. We also review the evidence some have offered that Lee Harvey Oswald was a product of MKUltra, and that it was no coincidence that he had been stationed in Atsugi, Japan....

Introducing Kinglsey Kobayashi, Legend of Entrepreneurship and Giving. “The measure of a person's life is the effect they have on others”. Kobayashi means small forest and the kanji is: 小林 He also has Kanji (Chinese Characters) for his name Kingsley meaning three kings. When I first came to Japan and lived in a suburb called Atsugi, about an hour from Tokyo, I was surprised by the number of shops selling Hip Hop clothing. Little did I know that 20 years later I would be interviewing the man responsible for introducing these clothes into Japan. How I love that that has become part of my myth. “My Grandmother was my rock.” Kingsley is a gentleman and great company - so many stories from his humble upbringing in Nigeria; raised by his grandmother and single parent father, who as a teacher would take Kingsley to school with him from aged 9 months. Kinglsey contributed to the family from a very young age and learned his work ethic early on, working before and after school and being schooled in the tougher end of economics by his Grandmother. From there he moved to Lagos and started his company and from there, this fascinating Legend turns to Asia and we take you on that journey. If you look at Kingsley's website you can see the integration between community, business and family is central to his way of life. Even in his about page he talks about being a loving father and how important his family is and this is quite a rare and courageous thing to talk about in a business context in my experience, but to Kingsley - it's everything. “When you have a daily income you are never really poor” Kingsley and his wife Blanka have written a book to help people gain financial freedom called ‘The Beginners Guide to Financial Freedom' and they are nominated as one of the top 25 entrepreneurs to look out for by a new channel. Kinglsey does his very best to explain Blockchain to me - and maybe you dear listener will get it straight away! Please enjoy this fascinating trip through the world of business and positivity. Raised by a single father, from the age of 9 months he went to school with his father and got the Nigerian nickname 'Schoolboy' Raised by the community and his Grandmother his ‘Rock' (who died at age 104!) He earned money before and after school to contribute to his family - this contributed to his strong work ethic I was reminded of Karen Hill Anton's conversation where respect for elder's is non-negotiable In Japan - you can make it legitimately - while Japan has a reputation for being wary of foreigners, so long as you pay your taxes and earn your money you can build businesses legitimately Find out what Kingsley says about billionaires AND much much more. Full show notes including the poem he mentions here. You can find Kingsley here: Website https://kingsleykobayashi.com/ Twitter @kingselykobayashi Instagram @Kingsleykobayashi Facebook The Book https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0931X1NFG

His discovery of this energy transmission will help generate mankind's electrical revolution. 1862 North and South clash at the Second Battle of Bull Run. Confederate General Robert E. Lee deals a stinging defeat to Union General John Pope at the Second Battle of Bull Run, Virginia—a battle that arose out of the failure of Union General George McClellan's Peninsular campaign earlier in the summer. 1945 U.S. airborne troops are landed in transport planes at Atsugi airfield, southwest of Tokyo, beginning the post-war occupation of Japan. 1949 USSR successfully detonates their first nucular bomb. Twenty kilotons of nuclear fission flatten a purpose-built 'town' in a remote part of the USSR's Kazakh Republic, and the Soviet Union is now on par with the US as the only other nuclear power on the globe. Called 'First Lightning,' the Soviet's atom bomb is born of espionage and scientific brilliance. 2005 Once roiling with Category 5 strength over the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Katrina has weakened, but it's still packing ferocious winds, as it makes landfall near New Orleans, Louisiana. A massive storm surge will breach levies, devastating that city as Katrina becomes one of the worst natural disasters in US history.

Read More About Patreon here EVne.ws/patreon Read today’s show notes on https://www.evnewsdaily.com Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Friday 29th March 2019. It’s Martyn Lee here and I’ve been through every EV story I could find today, and picked out the best ones to save you time. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. Hello to two new patrons of the show. Welcome to CLIFF BATES and PRODUCER GEOFF GATES KIA SOUL EV 2020 REVIEWS CNET says: ”As for the all-important driving range, the Soul EV is extremely competitive. The EPA officially rates the Soul EV at 243 miles of range, which bests the Chevrolet Bolt (238 miles), Kia Niro EV (239 miles) and Nissan Leaf Plus (226 miles). Only the Hyundai Kona Electric can go farther than the Soul, with its EPA-rated 258-mile range. Paddles on the steering wheel activate different levels of brake regeneration, with the maximum Level 3 offering for the sort of one-pedal EV driving characteristics that many people (myself included) love. That said, the Soul won't regeneratively brake to a complete stop like some other EVs, though if you press the Auto Hold button on the center console, you can let go of the brake when you're stationary." Autocar were impressed by the tech: "Adaptive cruise control and lane following afford a useful amount of autonomy in heavy traffic, there’s an extensive suite of electronic safety systems, a head-up display and various features designed to maximise the battery pack. These include cooling and heating the 64kWh battery with liquid rather than air, while a button enables you to control heat or chill only the driver’s portion of the cabin if you’re one-up and need to eke. An in-built heat pump recovers waste heat from the coolant, while driving modes that include Eco and Eco Plus help. If you want one, your chief issue will be the wait – orders for the e-Niro stretch to 2020, and the Soul EV does not go on sale until late this year. But by that time, Kia’s plans to increase production of its EV powertrain may well have been realised." Steve Fowler at AutoExpress: "We’re big fans of the Soul EV’s bigger brother, the eNiro, so it stands to reason that we’d love the similarly–powered new Soul, too. However, the Soul seems have a more youthful spirit and more character, in keeping with the car’s slightly smaller size and funkier design. And Kia hopes it will be cheaper than the eNiro. A lot can happen between now and when the first cars arrive at the end of the year, but Kia would like it if the first cars could come in at just under £30,000 including the current government EV incentive." LIGHTNING INTRODUCES THE ALL-NEW $13K STRIKE "After two months of teasing, Lightning Motorcycles has finally lifted the veil off the all-new Strike, its long-range, low-price model." Says Sabrina at RideApart.com: "Lightning announced that the model will be available with three battery options. The entry-level “Strike Standard” receives a 10kWh battery with an estimated range of 70 miles on the highway and 100 miles in the city—this is the model the manufacturer has been announcing at the highly appealing price point of $12,998. The “Strike Mid-Range” is powered by a 15 kWh battery able to power the vehicle on 105 highway miles and 150 city miles. This version of the Strike has been priced at $16,998. Last but not least is the long-range “Strike Carbon Edition” which 20 kWh battery allows the bike to travel up to the much-advertised 200 miles in the city—this version is offered at $19,998. It isn’t the under-$13k price Lightning has been teasing for two months, but it is still a lot more affordable than a number of electric motorcycles currently on the market.Lightning is expected to start rolling the first Strikes out of production in July 2019 in the United States, starting with the top of the line Strike Carbon Edition. The company will announce its plan for international expansion later this year." https://www.rideapart.com/articles/315837/lightning-strike-electric-motorcycle-launch/ 10,000 ELECTRIC CARS REGISTERED IN NORWAY THIS MONTH: HALF ARE TESLA "According to the latest registration data (as of the end of March 28, 2019), new all-electric car registrations in Norway already reached 10,000 for the month (probably including a three-digit number of imported used BEVs). The official results will be announced inthe first days of April, but it’s already certain that we are watching a groundbreaking record of records." Reports Mark Kane for InsideEVs.com: "The biggest splash in March was done by Tesla, which reportedly noted 5,000 registrations, including over 4,500 Tesla Model 3. It was just 4,000 recently! With many new compelling plug-in models on the horizon, Norway could be just a year or two from almost entirely switching to electric cars." https://insideevs.com/10000-bev-registered-norway-half-tesla/ PROGRESSIVE BRAKES ADDED TO MODEL 3 New release notes for Model 3 in Europe: "If you are driving over 50 km/h and brake forcefully, the brake lights will now flash quickly to warn other drivers that your car is rapidly slowing down,” reads the description for Tesla’s Dynamic Brake Lights feature. In addition to flashing the tail lights in situations that call for unexpected heavy braking, the vehicle will also flash its hazard lights. If your car stops completely, the hazard warning lights will flash until you press the accelerator or manually press the hazard warning lights button to turn them off." PORSCHE TAYCAN ENTERS FINAL TESTING PHASE AHEAD OF SEPTEMBER REVEAL Simon at Teslarati has the lowdown on the final testing stages of the Porsche Taycan: "Porsche engineers are currently taking advantage of the summer in the Southern Hemisphere to test the Taycan’s driving dynamics in warm temperatures. At the same time, teams from the company are also testing the vehicle in Scandinavia, just a few miles away from the Arctic Circle, to evaluate the electric car’s performance in frigid temperatures. Porsche notes that the Taycan’s testing spans 30 countries, in temperatures that range from -35 to 50 degree Celcius (-31F to 122F). Porsche initially plans to start the Taycan’s production at 20,000 units per year, though positive reception from reservation holders have encouraged the company to raise its estimates for the all-electric car’s manufacturing. The Taycan will be capable of sprinting from 0-60 mph in under 3.5 seconds and have a range of over 300 miles on one charge. The all-electric car is designed to support 350 kW charging, making it possible to replenish over 60 miles of range in just 4 minutes." The most significant facts from the Taycan testing phase: Overall distance covered: Approximately six million kilometres, of which two million were endurance run kilometres Countries: A total of 30, including the USA, China, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Finland Temperatures: From minus 35 to plus 50 degree Celsius Air humidity: From 20 to 100 per cent Altitude: From 85 metres below to 3,000 metres above sea level Charging cycles: Over 100,000 using various charging technologies across the globe Development team: Around 1,000 test drivers, technicians and engineers https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-tsla-q1-2019-model-3-estimates-excessive-negativity/ EXCLUSIVE: INTERVIEW WITH FORD’S CHIEF OF ELECTRIFICATION Bradley at InsideEvs.com has been talking to Ford's Ted Cannis. "Cannis confirmed that Ford’s crossover EV will have at least 300 miles of range in E.P.A. testing, but he declined to commit to target numbers for horsepower or acceleration. Cannis said that “most interest from consumers [for EVs] is in performance vehicles.” When asked how Ford is striking the balance between power and driving range, he conveniently replied, “We will not sacrifice either. The company will continue to include hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and pure EV in its electrification portfolio. For regions and specific customers not wanting to go “cold turkey” (as he put it) on combustion, hybrids with and without a plug will serve their needs. Talks with Volkswagen about sharing EV platforms and tech are focused on filling in gaps in overseas markets. “We’re looking at efficiencies around the world so we can get more scale,” he said. Cannis mentioned the impact of local incentives on EV adoption.” https://insideevs.com/interview-ford-chief-electrification/ NISSAN COMPLETES SALE OF BATTERY BUSINESS TO ENVISION GROUP Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. has completed the previously announced sale of its electric battery operations and production facilities to Envision Group, a world-leading digital energy company. Under the deal, Envision has completed the acquisition of Nissan subsidiary Automotive Energy Supply Corporation and battery manufacturing operations in Smyrna, Tennessee, owned by Nissan North America Inc.
