    To hone their skills, surgeons do not use replica body parts but “specimens”, as one of the leading surgeons proudly explains, pointing to the freezer.

    In a highly bureaucratic process that involves the joint work of six government ministries, real human body parts (mostly shoulders, knees, ankles and torsos) are imported to Aspetar, with most of the supply coming from the United States.

  3. On November 22nd, 1963, John F. Kennedy was assassinated. His successor, Lyndon Johnson, quickly empaneled The Warren Commission, composed chiefly of political allies, those with favors to repay and possibly some who were materially involved with the event. In a short eight months, the tumescent report reified the mostly ridiculous notion that a lone madman had pulled off The Crime of the Century singlehandedly. Most of the evidence has remained secret to this day, with apparently sanitized bits trickling out over the ensuing years, never enough to conclusively prove anything. Kennedy family friend William Manchester wrote a bestselling book called Death of a President and gratuitously omitted more research, speculation and evidence he had garnered in the course of preparing his work. The circumstantial evidence has overwhelmingly pointed to a plot at the deepest levels of government, and has been well researched, discussed, and officially denounced over and over again. The so-called Greatest Generation fairly stood by and the Deep State orthodoxy was established.

    Over the next two generations and since, there has not been a presidency which was not threatened, shamed and ridiculed into cowardly submission. The public seems universally incapacitated in the simple art of connecting dots and instead is emotionally charged up about the most trivial of political slights as the misappropriation of its shared treasury has proliferated without the most basic of coverage by the also bullied and cowed news media. Today, the public, in at least basic awareness of the crookedness of the official story, stand by while an unprecedented plot against Donald Trump, the sitting president, goes on into its 4th year, largely spearheaded by “the news,” which is a completely falsified hybrid of spin and entertainment, with information the clear casualty.

    In recent years the “profession” of financial adviser has been essentially regulated out of business in the name of “protection” for investors. This can be likened to the protection that gangsters would offer to legitimate business in exchange for tribute. Governments in power have done the same thing throughout history, the kind that isn’t told in textbooks. The so-called “free” markets are dominated by the largest players who use computers to act on insider-only information (generally from the government or its proxies) and utterly thwart any meaningful price consensus by willing buyers and sellers. So, investors can keep their hard-earned surpluses in a market whose price-fixing mechanism is completely hidden from them and hope that they come away without devastation resulting from “market declines” that are designed to allow insiders to purchase identical shares at vast discounts. Meanwhile, the government has amassed $21 Trillion in deficits and has undocumented adjustments (expenditures that are publicly unexplained) totaling a conservatively estimated $23 Trillion.

    This was all before FASAB 56 came along. To me, that regulation is simply a formalization of what has gone on since at least WWII. And it is not a law, but a regulation, one, it would seem, within the purview of the executive branch. The current head of this branch has proven wily in handling his apparently committed foes, who do not let him rest for the briefest moment. It seems unlikely that President Trump has been hoodwinked into FASAB 56, instead he probably has conceded it for the time being, aware that he can also invalidate, overturn or simply release the information concealed by it. I believe it is the intention of the anti-Trump cabal to deliver the executive branch to a more compliant head of state, so the exercise of the power to overturn heinous regulations is safely put into less independent hands. Precisely because FASAB 56 exists is the reason why Trump remains the only viable option to save a staggering nation. It is imponderable what would happen if he was to be successfully removed from office. Moses had his flaws and was kept from the Promised Land, yet he is unrivaled in the pantheon of Old Testament heroes. He got the job done.

    1. Actually, it is lower than a regulation. It is a policy proposed by an accounting advisory board adopted by OMB and GAO. True, there appears no one on the horizon that is better than Trump. But if Trump simply does what Israel and its backers insist, not clear how that will work. Decentralizing actions bottom up can work. Why do you think so much push to bring in the guns? Because they are working. Watch what happens if they guns are brought it. Please don’t wait for Trump to save us.

      1. Amen to that…

        No matter how noble or effective pragmatic efforts to reverse disastrous policy (Trade, border security etc…), it would be wise for citizens to understand something about leadership in America, by people of great means.

        There will NEVER be a time, when the “powers that be” will disarm Private Security contractors. The reason that is so should be obvious.

        This will remain true if the hammer came down, and all guns were banned except “common hunting rifles and shotguns”.

        People of means (to be clear, I am NOT knocking the wealthy, or the President) do not have the same frame of reference for self protection as the rest of America. They will never be without substantive well armed security options.

        Many of them would never dream of being out exposed in public without some kind of layered security. In NYC, for even mid level players on Wall Street and in banking and finance, diamond district, etc… there are one helluva lot of carry permits in those areas of NYC. There always will be.

        1. Yup. Notice the Presidents always want ARMED guards guarding their children.

      2. There’s a lot there. I think the power relationship is opposite of what you state. Israel is positioned defensively with regard to the US, if you ask me. The Jonathan Pollard case illustrated that we’re frenemies, much as we are with Russia. Israel has co-opted congressional retainers to accept dual citizenship as a bulwark against potential US actions which will be counter to its interest. That adds up to defense. If you’re Trump, you weren’t born yesterday and I would say you understand the Israeli game, son-in-law notwithstanding.

        As for the guns–the shootings this weekend, with 30 dead, how could it be plainer that the intention is to make assault guns a wedge issue for an essentially moribund Democrat presidential effort? The Epstein arrest and what will become still more lurid revelations is another brilliantly planned strategy to upstage, whenever necessary, the unpopular anti-gun efforts, with a very real intention to financially lay waste to perpetrators. These two actions this weekend suggest that we are down to the 3rd or 4th string in false flag planning. What operations could be more ham-handed than what occurred?

        As for waiting for Trump to save us, rest assured I am not. But it would be a fool on the right who would make common cause with the left to undermine him in what he is doing, which is at least buying time. The worst outcome next year would be a Democratic victory of someone from this abysmal gaggle of weaklings now standing for nomination, Spartacus included. Let’s not let our president fall by friendly fire, I say.
