Who is Edward Hasbrouck and What does He Know about Mueller?


https://couragetoresist.org/podcast-draft-registration/

This man knows firsthand the intelligence and pitbull tenacity of Robert Mueller. He was prosecuted by Mueller after Mueller returned home from his stint in Nam as a U.S. Marine. The draft was in effect and Mr. Hasbrouck had courageously said that he would not register to serve in that unjust war.

Robert Mueller would have nothing to do with entertaining Mr. Hasbrouck's stand. He succeeded in his prosecution and put away several Bostonian draft resisters for months. Nationally, it was something of a Pyrrhic victory for all a draft resister really had to do was stay home--not even go to Canada--and the draft board would forget about you. What you couldn't do was be vocal about your resistance--in that case, they would still go after you.

Fast forward to today and we are again playing out a chapter in Mr. Mueller's presecutorial carreer, and judging by his CV, some may think that deep in the recesses of Mr. Mueller's mind lies another stab at the draft dodger only this time it may just be the President and his "bone spur" aversion to the Vietnam War. That war, BTW, was, according to Mr. Hasbrouck, fully supported by Robert Mueller.
Chillingly, Mr. Hasbrouck recounts how he saw no humanity in Mr. Mueller's demeanor as he doggedly pursued prosecution of draft dodgers.

This blog likes conspiracy theories and I couldn't stop myself from putting this out there, but the real aim of this post is to inform the reader that there is now a commission or panel charged with making recommendations with regard to the future of the draft. Comments from the public are solicited. I intend to suggest that numerous options be given the future registrant for national service other than military.

Thank you, Mr. Hasbrouck for your activism.

New Jersey's Department of Personnel

I'm 57 years old. That alone makes it very hard to penetrate the job market. However, NJDOP has a website where you can browse available jobs and submit an application along with $15. I did that and I waited and waited for the process to reach the stage where the actual hiring agency would give out interviews for the position. 2 months into that last stage (the DOP said that the hiring agency had 90 days in which to interview candidates), I got anxious and decided to call the municipality. They were supposed to pick from the top 3 candidates but they told me in no uncertain terms that they were going to give it to "the person who was already doing the job." When I questioned the ethics and legality of their decision, I was told that they really hadn't finalized things. This person was hoping that I would go away but, sadly, NJ is a state where ageism and/or crony-ism is condoned. Stay tuned, I'm waiting to see if I get an interview and if I don't get the job,...

Size and other Characteristics Matter in Trumpville

Why was Comey fired? He towered over Trump, that's why. It's a no-no. That other dude that knew his job well was tall, and I suspect the administration knew all the time of his spousal abuse history but it only became a problem for him when his height got on the president's nerve, OUT. This height obsession is a conflation of the President's own tallness and NY real estate where the bigger the edifice, the bigger your status. Look at whom he holds on to--Sessions, plenty of reason to fire him but he's all so diminutive that Mr. Trump feels he might be charged with child abuse if he were to act against him; besides, Sesssions takes it on the chin and will forever hold the distinct "honor" of being the first mainstream Republican to embrace the President's candidacy. This represents two pluses. The short and tough-looking General Mattis stays while the bigger and better looking Tillerson goes. Mustaches: if you have one, you're out but a whit...

I Doubt My Mother-in-Law will ever get Covid Even at 90+

You see, she has never been a germaphobe and that means her immune system is tip top. When you're not a germaphobe, you subject yourself to all manner of germs that immunize you against similar organisms. My German mother-in-law cleans her home meticulously but she has no compunction with sticking her hands into the sewer and unclogging it by hand. "But Midge, I have a snake for that. Ah, what's the big deal, she says to me." Never argue with your mother-in-law. When your mother tells you to wash your hands before supper, is she doing you a disfavor? I think so. In countries with many parasites or in our present pandemic, you want to wash them off your hands but, if not, you want lots and lots of germs to keep your immune system on guard. This brings me to the factoid that Women are less likely to get or die from Covid. Duh, obviously, who subject themselves to more germs as a parent? The one who plays in the parlor with the kids or the one who cleans their diaper...
