Amen to that

Chris Bray actually went to look at the construction done to date on California's high-speed rail project. Suffice it to say, it didn't take long to photograph the "progress": "Frozen In Time: Gavin's Museum of Grift".

"Former SPLC CFO Arrested on Fraud Charges for Secretly Funneling Payments to White Supremacist Groups".

This is particularly gratifying, given the SPLC's role in serving as a prop for the FBI's investigation of traditionalist Catholic parishes. The article has links to unclassified FBI documents, at least one of which names my old parish of St. Joseph's in Richmond as a target for "outreach". I believe a number of FBI employees connected to this operation have been fired; unfortunately, the big fish naturally have faced no consequences, that I know of.

Much more on the former CFO here.

"Construction workers find gold stash estimated to be worth $10 million during renovations in Belgium".

Construction workers in Belgium stumbled upon a stash of gold believed to be worth more than $10 million during renovation work on a building.

Police said they were "immediately" contacted by the workers [emphasis added - Paco] after they discovered "a large quantity of gold" while working on a building in the east Flemish town of Dendermonde.

Ok, let me tell you something. If me and my homies had been the workers who had discovered $10 million in gold on that construction site, I guaran-damn-tee you wouldn't be reading about it. And the police would be sitting down at the local Wafel Huis, or whatever they have in Belgium, none the wiser.
