On December 27, 1932, Radio City Music Hall opened in New York City, with a spectacular stage show, featuring Ray Bolger and Martha Graham. Though there is no video of that performance, here’s a more recent one of the Rockettes, who call Radio City Music Hall home.

Your best tips of the past 86,400 seconds would be much appreciated!

    2. Very kewl vid…
      I gave him a “like”…

      I love the tempering process and what looked like some Mar-tempering afterwards..??

    1. Between UPS battery and fuel generator supply in a downtown core, a 4 hour window seems correct.

      Sounds about right for backup power supplies at a data center. Backup is to keep things running until primary is repaired or substituted (diesel generator on a truck) . Bomb probably took out power mains and were not repairable, resupply of fuel not available due to conditions.

      In radio system design I use 2 hours for UPS supply as a desired target, and then overshoot by up to 100%.

  3. FBI/CIA probably had some sophisticated equipment to install and ATT taking their whole system down
    while claiming the bomb caused the interruption was the most efficient way to do it. That way ATT avoided a lot of customer complaints about chronic smaller service interruptions while ATT was still in operation.

    1. CRAZY shite..!!

      Very interesting thoughts by Hal Turner. I think I will tune in this evening….
      My question would be, who outside of National Command Authority would have the power/authority to send a “missile” or “directed energy” weapon strike…??

      and uh…this was where the Georgia Senate Seat ballots were being “tabulated” or stored…?? Dominion Machines..??

      This Election just got HOT.

  6. Wait for the narrative that this was some angry, old white Trump MAGA guy who had an axe to grind with AT&T for some reason.

    Then, start to understand that this wasn’t just any old run-of-the-mill AT&T building (what I think we used to refer to years ago as a “switching station” or something like that).

    There was way more than that going on at this location as it was apparently one of the hubs for NSA intelligence/surveillance of all communications. Sounds like there could be much more to this story. Stay tuned.

      1. “Terrorism of white citizens is our gravest threat as an inclusive society.”

        Fixed it for you.

        Keep up the threats/actions against our livelihood, freedom of expression, freedom of association and privacy and see where that gets you.

          2. No doubt he was Rick, how dare him have a middle eastern name. Everyone knows sarcasm is not allowed to non-europeans. How fortunate for him that Kate is freedom loving enough to rarely censor. I support her in that but it’s damn hard with this crap going on.

          3. My response stands as it is based upon content, not the name. Same response would go to everyone making that comment. Names don’t mean a lot here, no control.

            Tagging a response like that onto the lead comment does not come across as sarcasm.

          5. “I think he was being sarcastic.”

            No he wasn’t, he is a shit stirrer, a troll who has been posting here under multiple names. Ray, Sport, Ahmed all the same bitch.

      3. You are watching too much TV. That’s the MSM narrative, but it is a total distortion of the real picture.

          1. Old enough to know BS when I read it or see it. And your pure.

            No bias, no bigotry, just judge a comment by its content.

          2. Actually, it is perfectly ok to despise followers of the pedophile prophet. Except that this one isn’t even that, he is just a troll pretending to be a mooselimb to stir shit.

  7. Here in no-wheres-ville New Brunswick, we are small, poor, rural province– a place where few want to bother to visit. Ergo, we have few China virus cases. What is interesting about this is that the way the media dutifully restate our local provincial China virus report of the day. Way out here the media report the daily total of new cases, the number of outstanding cases, the age range of each person with a new case, and the probable cause of why that anonymous person caught the virus. The latter two pieces of information are given out in order that the rest of the citizenry can be better prepared.

    But the severely affected provinces are (a) large and (b) heavily infected, so the public health people there cannot give a daily rundown of the latter two pieces of information listed above. For example, on a per-capita basis, new China-virus infections in Ontario and Manitoba are running 40 times that of New Brunswick.

    So here, one notices that roughly two-thirds of new cases come from air passenger flights coming into this out-of-the-way province. The other third come from people who have been in contact with the air-travelers infected. New Brunswick is an example of any other province or state at the initial stages of the pandemic. The vast majority of the cases come from air travel.

    The planes full of air passengers disembarking into the Toronto airport are not getting any media coverage. They should.

  8. Yesterday the Globe and Mail published a very long investigative piece describing the corruption at Public Health Canada, leading up to the failure of our federal government to understand the oncoming China virus:
    https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-we-are-not-prepared-the-flaws-inside-public-health-that-hurt-canadas/

    It is a very long article, but I recommend those with some spare time over the holidays to read the entire article. It is a lurid story of corruption by our federal government. For those without the time, here is a Coles Notes version:

    — the first several paragraphs lead off by describing how China, in February 2020, lobbied our federal government NOT to stop passenger flights from entering our country. Global Affairs Minister Champagne acquiesced to the request, and then lobbied Public Health Canada and other departments to allow the flights to continue;

    — Stephen Harper’s government began bringing in non-health professionals to oversee Public Health, and to partly scale back the newly-developed Canadian global pandemic warning system. The Trudeau government continued with the process, to the point where senior non-medical bureaucrats were by now the only attendees and speakers at technical, international pandemic conferences. In 2019 the Trudeau government effectively ended the early warning system.

    It’s a great read. I worry, though, that the other members of the pro-Liberal media cartel (step forward CBC News!) will censor the Globe’s investigative findings. The ruling elites, after all, are corrupt.

    1. Unfortunately the article is behind the Globe’s paywall. So when the Globe returns to real journalism (is it the first time since it broke the story about Justin and his henchmen obstructing justice in the SNC-Lavalin court case?), its reporting is not available to the vast majority of Canadians. If you are part of the mainstream media paid by Justin and have the temerity to criticize the Dear Leader, it is best that his subjects not be able to read it.

          1. clipe: I assumed it was different link because it worked when I clicked on it in my buddy’s email, which also included the full Globe article, whereas the link in David’s comment hadn’t worked when I tried it earlier. Afraid I can’t explain what is going on with the link.
            You might appreciate reading the “most respected” comment about the article at the Globe’s website:

            “This is an excellent article. There are so many problems, where does one start.

            The supposed purpose of the public service and federal institutions in Canada is to serve Canadians, yet I’m left wondering more often than not, if it’s sole purpose is to really serve itself. Merit and competency it seems has been replaced by diversity and feel good initiatives. Government spending is up yet the quality of services continues to erode. Where is the common sense?

            What I found somewhat disconcerting was the number of resignations and retirements in the midst of the pandemic. If there ever was a time for leadership it was during a crisis, yet many seemed to abandon ship. Why was that?

            I hope the formal reviews of the pandemic readiness and the government response to the pandemic are made public. Those who failed should be held to account and fired, not promoted. Canadians deserve so much better.”

    1. This, when Arnold’s wife Kathy has been put into palliative care, two or three weeks ago, and during Christmas to boot. The techno-fascists at Twitter and other monopolies are monsters. Evil monsters.

  10. This year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade featured the Rockettes performing the march of the toy soldiers. Outstanding! My husband and I watched it a few times. I later read that people complained about this year’s Rockettes performance because it wasn’t one of their high-kicking numbers. We were in awe of their precision and timing. Others want a spectacle, I guess.

    1. The Rockettes are phenomenal. Everyone should see their Christmas show once in their lives. Saw them about 7 years ago, and I nearly fell out of my chair at their last scene, which apparently has not changed since it’s inception: the Rockettes present a living Nativity. Then the screen falls. No curtain call. The Rockettes are class!

      1. Yes, but aren’t the Rockettes heteronormal, and cisnormal? The CBC should investigate. /s

        1. They’re also not inclusive as none of the dancers are–ahem–“body positive”.

      1. How you gonna keep ’em down on the farm – after they have seen the Rockettes?
        At the evening grandstand show of the Calgary Stampede, back in ’59.

  11. White supremacists remain deadliest US terror threat, Homeland Security report says

    White supremacist extremists will remain the deadliest domestic terror threat to the United States, according to the Department of Homeland Security’s first annual homeland threat assessment, which details a range of threats from election interference to unprecedented storms.

    Since 2018, White supremacists have conducted more lethal attacks in the US than any other domestic extremist movement, demonstrating a “longstanding intent” to target racial and religious minorities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, politicians and those they believe promote multi-culturalism and globalization, according to the report.
    “As Secretary, I am concerned about any form of violent extremism,” wrote acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf. “However, I am particularly concerned about white supremacist violent extremists who have been exceptionally lethal in their abhorrent, targeted attacks in recent years.”

    https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/06/politics/white-supremacists-anarchists-dhs-homeland-threat-assessment/index.html

    1. Funny that…seems to me the Violence, Burning, Looting and occasional murder were the TERRITORY Fully occupied by BLM – AntiFa…?

      Was Wolf an Obama appointment.??

    3. Rizwan/Dizzy/unDork?alla ASS/Ooz….yer stupidity is much appreciated for it’s entertainment value!

  12. Continuing with the Public Health Canada scandal above, in December 2019, when Xi Jinping’s China virus was well under way, and when Public Health Canada had effectively shut down its early pandemic warning system, Chief Health Officer Theresa Tam came out with her ultra-politically correct annual report on Canada’s public health:
    https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/corporate/publications/chief-public-health-officer-reports-state-public-health-canada/addressing-stigma-toward-more-inclusive-health-system.html

    Very little hard information on Canada’s actual health, of course, and absolutely NO information about what her agency actually does as to preventing international pandemics. The entire report is larded with woke PC, i.e. discussions on equity, minorities, stigma difficulties, etc. And near the beginning of this missive, Tam mentions that the report is publish on Indian land.

    Our federal government at work.

  13. I have not read the report, but when the term White supremicists is used the suggestion is that the crime is motivated by suprrmicist ideology and gang/ terrorist behaviour. A while back, the ACLU admitted that when a murder happens, they track whether or not the individual committing the crime ever belonged to a white supremacist organization. If yes, that’s a white supremacist crime. No doubt these are violent people. The crime could have been about money or jealousy related to a girlfriend– nothing to do with idiology. ACLU does not to this with other groups. So, misleading. Rachael Maddow did feature on the same thing. She itemized “white supremicist” murderers. They were all white, but the crimes did not necessarily relate to supremicist ideology. So I think it is misleading, but will check the report.

    1. The “White Supremist” or “White Nationalist” is disinformation right along the lines of the Steel dossier. Made up shit by the left, used as ammunition by the deep state to surveil any and all who aren’t toeing the line of globalist masters.
      Do they exist? Sure. In enormous numbers compared to Lefties who hate the west? Nope.
      Rachel Madcow is up their with Rosie Barton when it comes to state propaganda.

    Words of Covid wisdom from Theo Caldwell. Some may recall Theo from the first year that Sun News Network was allowed to broadcast until the CRTC successfully could come up with a way to destroy them in a way which will scare off anyone else of daring to launch a Conservative media operation. Recommend signing up for his newsletter, always has something wise to contribute.

    Here’s the key line: “There is no place in any sport for discrimination of any kind,” [Billie Jean King] said.

    Sounds good. So let’s stop discriminating by sex, and have everyone compete against everyone. Oh, and we better stop age discrimination too. There’s no place in any sport for separating children by age. And while we’re at it, we better stop discriminating against people who are no longer in high school. It’s the only way to be fair.

  19. Can’t believe the balls of some of the motley crew writing here to taunt Albertans to put up or shut up with your criminal Eastern ways. Your P.M. is a rich old goat who is robbing Canadians left, right and center. I’m surprised YOU, YOU, & YOU haven’t got rid of him yet! Cheater may be the P.M. — but he’s dead to us.

    And we gots da oil too, —lots of it. That really bugs you, doesn’t it!

  20. I just checked the Rebel News fundraising campaign. More than $350,000 has been raised so far!

  21. I was a Raoult skeptic at the beginning of the pandemic but believe now he is the real thing. It is in French so I am summarizing some salient points:

    – his team is the most published non-Chinese team in the world on this topic.
    – his University Hospital Centre in Marseille, France has tested 350,000 people
    — out of the 14,000 outpatients they saw, the mortality rate was .5-1/1000 and, more than 80% of those who died from COVID had a life expectancy of ONE YEAR OR LESS.
    — he says that this is indicative of what the mortality rate should be if people are treated correctly ie. with the Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) protocol.

    His team did a paper on studies about HCQ treatment:
    – when the authors have a conflict of interest with Gilead, 73% of scientific papers say HCQ does not work to treat COVID. WIth the same conflict of interest, the authors say 100% or the time that Remdesivir works.
    – when the authors of a study have NO conflict of interest with Gilead, 83% of publications say that HCQ is an effective treatment for COVID and, in the one randomized study done without conflict of interest on Remdesivir, the authors concluded Remdisivir does not work.

    Raoult also adds that the place where people are infected the most is within the home or on public transport, not in restaurants. He questions whether sending COVID positve people home to recover is ethical becuse of the likelihood of infection within the household.

    He thinks that virus mutations are going to be an issue for vaccines.

  22. Bluegrass guitarist Tony Rice has died. As a middle-level bluegrass guitar picker, I loved his stuff. He also, with his band, delved into jazz. He was one of the best flat-pickers out there.

    1. DM

      Darn, I hadn’t heard Tony Rice had passed. A picker of prodigious talent. I have some TR in my collection.

      He stretched out bluegrass into places it had never been. His collaboration with David Grisham was groundbreaking.
      Dawg music.

    2. “High in the hills of old Kentucky
      Stands the fondest spot that’s in my memory
      I’m on my way back to the old home
      The light in the window I long to see
      I’m on my way back to the old home
      The road winds on up the hill
      But there’s no light in the window
      That shined long ago where I live”

      RIP Tony Rice

  23. So HCQ az works on covid 19 in all cases except for .47% of those over 74 years of age. And they want to force a mandatory unproven vaccine created without trials for a disease they have not isolated yet. Why are people allowing the Psychopath Politicians and Bureaucrats to lock them up under MARTIAL LAW. Wake you fools and go after them all. They are destroying your lives.

    1. Why are people allowing the Psychopath Politicians and Bureaucrats to lock them up under MARTIAL LAW.

      They are wiser than us. They are smarter than us. They are more powerful than us. They are richer than us. They are better-connected than us. They are better than us.

      They are not us.

    1. Poor gal a cracked rib and bruises… are there no gentleman there in BC.? This will stay with her for many years in the form of mental anguish.

    1. Location, location, location…
      In any case where the market value of real property is sought, that value must be based on its highest and best use. Highest and best use is always that use that would produce the highest value for a property, regardless of its actual current use.

  27. We went to nyc at Christmas 10 years ago. We saw the show at Rockefeller with the Rockettes. Outstanding!
    Went there on business 5 years ago. Flew into LaGuardia (the garbage). Whole town smelled like butt. Never again.
