       Harvard economics Professor Lawrence Summers to MSNBC Lawrence O'Donnell 21 November 2017: GOP tax cut and benefits "analysis" feeds more Trump lies on overdrive 98% of actual real economists consider GOP economic "analysis" to be "Professional Malpractice" misrepresenting a financial disaster including a huge economic burden for Americans and the United States to pay off richest 2% GOP donors who bought Republicans their seats.

       GOP House released tax cut plan released 2 November 2017 without Democratic input brings no surprises in proposed massive giveaway to GOP donors richest 1% wealthy corporations already bursting with cash who have no need for it at all while further squeezing middle class with very modest tax cuts and even increasing tax burden for others while admittedly adding at least $1.5 trillion to the national debt while halfheartedly calling back tired old zombie of long debunked false promises of #GoldenTinkleDown economics and jobs that are neither returning nor paying more:

       The vile truth perfectly well understood by lying GOP wretches indifferent to the misery and harm to their constituents whatever honor and integrity they once had long lost along with the complete humiliation of their GOP leaders first silent now actively complicit have fallen in with Trump like him selling their souls in his latest "Art of The Steal You Can't Refuse" bogus "tax reform" fully contemptuous of the overwhelming majority of those deceived voters who elected them.
       Their filthy lies falsely promise meaningful middle class financial relief which in reality is just the GOP's latest scheme for massive tax cuts to the top 1% richest including fully corrupt Trump and family nearly entirely rewarding the richest biggest Republican d/owners screeching threatening drooling and slobbering for their biggest payout yet of which they have no need at all but certainly will let "fellow" Americans stay sick and die to get it. That being quite transparently what GOP so-called "tax reform" is all about leaves Nobel Prize economist Paul Krugman incensed and disgusted with the continuous GOP nauseating lies "justified" if at all by phony paid-off know-nothing "wingnut welfare" ignorant nutjobs peddling long discredited bogus economic "theories":

       FY 2018 Budget blueprint passes GOP Senate 51-49 with only Sen. Rand Paul (R-/KY) voting against it because he wanted an even worse "libertarian" budget . The Senate budget bill also allows Alaska National Wildlife (ANWR) oil drilling + a $1.5 trillion addition to budget deficit without specifying what federal programs need to be cut + must require large cuts over time to Medicare and Medicaid despite Trump's repeated campaign promises never to cut either Medicare or Medicaid. If reconciled with the House budget parliamentary procedure lets the GOP get away with avoiding the Senate 60-vote requirement to go on and next pass massive tax cuts totaling $6 trillion over time for the 1% richest with just the simple Senate GOP majority.
       There will be ruinous consequences for Republicans it still being uncertain if windfalls for the richest driving other legislation will succeed if they fail to cut taxes now as it is the few so richly rewarded (apparently better than from other investments) wealthiest who cynically keep the undemocratic Republican party alive dependent on their mountains of cash pumped in ("oxygen" as Steve Bannon calls it) dictating their terms as they are absolutely essential to the Republicans' survival paying for a vast array of dishonest GOP campaign necessities from phony paid "grassroots" networks of GOP support  to floods of crassly sophisticated television and other propaganda and everything in between inhumanely manipulating, misleading and exploiting the ignorance which they encourage and feed in those as to whom their true dictated GOP agenda is hugely harmful and entirely antithetical to their best interests to the extent that the GOP now relies entirely on these wealthiest as its life support even as Senator Lindsay Graham, Republican of South Carolina and a member of the Budget Committee frankly acknowledged in the below article that without them getting their too long awaited tax cut payoffs and getting them now "that will be the end of us as a party":

UPDATED to 25 February 2019

       Monday, 16 October 2017 SILICON VALLEY /  UPDATES Friday, 29 September 2017, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Significant foreign interference in any U.S. domestic election necessarily delegitimizes that election as not accurately representing the true will of the American people. Such foreign interference threatens the very foundation of U.S. democracy that requires at its core insuring polling integrity without interference. The Trump administration's complete absence either of execution of any meaningful deterrence retribution in response to the overwhelmingly documented vast occurrence of such interference by Russia in the 2016 U.S. presidential election intended to favor Trump and let's face it very likely getting Trump "elected" in reality to absolutely nothing as well as the Trump administration's failure timely to take any meaningful steps toward assuring  future U.S. election integrity even in the face of a uniform U.S. intelligence community finding of continuing interference most recently was demonstrated by Trump's complete unapologetic failure to comply with and execute a duly overwhelmingly passed U.S. law which required Trump to impose additional sanctions against Russia beyond those already in place by no later than 1 October 2017.
       This is but another of the Trump administration's quickly growing list of overt actions evidencing Trump's to be an administration which both believes itself to be above and and shows itself in utter contempt of any law with the Republican-controlled Congress exercising absolutely no oversight to cause it to act otherwise. The Republican congress has proven itself to be despicably complicit in the destruction of the United States as a rock-solid constitutional democratic world leader of most often good intentions certainly in contrast to potential world leaders China and Russia each of which would portend the near certainty of an eruption of new human rights abuses at home and abroad which United States leadership role and recognition has been hundreds of years in the making but now is being sacrificed for the GOP's comparatively historically insignificant current partisan advantage in a system of government it is allowing to be incrementally corrupted and laid waste while also engaging in an unfathomably idiotic game of chance risking at worst the United States literally being destroyed likely along with the rest of the world possibly on very little or essentially notice at all.
       Such abdication by Congress further is an absolutely crucial component in the playbook of the creation of a fascist state something to which Trump has shown himself to be without reservation completely inclined if left unfettered laying its foundation by unleashing a chaotic American dystopia upon its citizens punctuated by his sick torrent of unrelated poisonous attacks and attempted decrees if failing often due only to his utter incompetence and that of his current administration. However it has become apparent that in the wings of that incompetence are some very committed lingering sinister figures and dark forces absolutely unsuited to any place in the traditions of governance of the American constitutional democracy.
       The foreign interference and a range of related activities broadly facilitating such interference are accurately assessed as direct attacks on our Nation by persons in the most inclusive sense who therefore are enemies or in league with them of the United States and all for which this country stands and has fought as a worldwide beacon of legitimate democracy and need be legally dealt with accordingly. For interested readers a starting point for federal law making such foreign interference in U.S. elections illegal thus the basis for specified federal criminal penalties based solely on a lay reading of mass digital or print publications widely available to all is the Federal Election Campaign Act (52 U.S.C. §§ 30101, 30121). Members of Congress have proposed legislation to more clearly emphasize what is already illegal under that Act as concerns these matters although none of the newly proposed legislation has yet become law.
       Twitter executives on Thursday, 28 September 2017 "infuriated" congressional investigators behind closed doors with their late admission of allegedly belatedly having discovered just 201 Twitter accounts linked to Russian "operatives" interfering in the 2016 presidential election even though outside entities such as FireEye already have tentatively identified a great deal more such Twitter accounts with NATO has estimated that up 10-15%  of Twitter accounts are fake with hundreds of thousands of foreign-linked Twitter accounts already having been identified as interfering in past elections in other countries. Twitter officials further enraged investigative staff and some senators by revealing that Twitter essentially just relied on Facebook's  investigation by examining Facebook flagged accounts and those associated with them to identify Twitter suspect accounts seen as exposing Twitter's profound indifference to the seriousness of the threat Twitter has facilitated and even posed if not thwarting such activities to the very bedrock of American democracy.
       Twitter further disclosed to Senate Intelligence Committee staff that Twitter collected $275,000 in  previously undisclosed advertising revenue in 2016 from RT (Kremlin-linked propaganda television formerly known as "Russian Television") following earlier dismissive denials much like Zuckerman with Facebook having called similar allegations "crazy" but now joining the growing group of American social media giants finding themselves exactly where they do not wish to be at this time of growing momentum for their increased regulatory oversight which is squarely in the sights of Congress

       Senate Intelligence Committee Vice-Chair Senator Mark Warner (D-VA) characterized the "Twitter team" presentation yesterday to Senate Intelligence Committee staff as "deeply disappointing" and Twitter's responses to staff as "inadequate on almost every level." After earlier ill-considered dismissive denials to congressional inquiries Facebook along with Twitter now find themselves after having also not satisfied House Intelligence Committee staff hastening to legitimately cooperate providing congressional committees' as well as Special Counsel Muellers' Trump-Russia investigations with ads linked to Russian operatives. Facebook officials met with both intelligence committees on 6 September 2017. Google officials also have been asked in the coming weeks to come to Capitol Hill to deliver a Senate Intelligence Committee private briefing.
       The dissemination or facilitation even effectively having made possible foreign interference in a U.S. election depending on what knowledge one had may violate the Election Campaign Act which provides for federal criminal penalties including fines and imprisonment. The House Intelligence Committee according to Ranking Member Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) was similarly not satisfied with Twitter's responses behind closed doors and intends to have social media giants back for an open public hearing at an as yet unspecified date. The Senate Intelligence Committee however already has invited Twitter, Facebook and Alphabet Google executives to testify before the public in an open hearing on 1 November 2017 when they may also testify before the House Intelligence Committee although at the time of this post reportedly none of the social media giants have so far R.S.V.P.'d .

       Tuesday, 22 November 2017, LONDON / Updates 14 October 2017, SILICON VALLEY / SAN ANTONIO / 3 October 2017, WASHINGTON, D.C. - Alphabet Inc.'s Google long has collaborated including in publicly but not limited to joint venture(s) with the CIA "private" company In-Q-Tel as well as providing the CIA (like other "Intelligence Community" entities) through "interfaces" all Google user traffic and content (as do other social media platforms) without the State having to go through the tedious formalities of actually requesting it.
       This is roughly similar to the State avoiding Fourth Amendment search and seizure constraints by having a private entity such as, say, Federal Express, "accidentally" rip open suspect packages for contraband and then hand it over to the DEA (whose acting Administrator incidentally just resigned in protest against President Trump including Trump's encouragement of police brutality coupled with AG Sessions vigorous idiotic universally opposed attempts at regression to the long-proven catastrophic "War On Drugs") thus efficiently streamlining the process of conducting searches and seizures without being inconvenienced by the encumbrances of the United States Constitution. Such matters in fact may be of particular interest to some engaged in U.S. cocaine trafficking as relevant authorities just have notified the public that at least some U.S. postal service employees no longer will be available to accept bribes for safe passage of cocaine shipments through the U.S. Postal Service.
       In any case in the strictly lay opinion of the Ninth Amendment the CIA's in-house and Department of Justice attorneys including former Cheney favorite evil Neil "Golly Gitmo" Gorsuch surprisingly were not at least disbarred and forever banned from federal service for advising the CIA that torture was not torture under U.S. and international law as well as treaties and conventions exposing the Bush/Cheney administration including its CIA officials and others to this day to lifelong prosecution for war crimes and crimes against humanity should they venture into the wrong countries.
       Said DOJ attorneys now seemingly having given up enforcing U.S. civil rights, antitrust and other cumbersome laws unlike the European Union here under the leadership of Return to the Dark Ages champion Republican Senate hero security clearance liar serial perjurer racist "disgrace" Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard "Jefe" Sessions III in his single-minded fevered and demented quest encouraging police brutality in bringing back like zombies thought dead long-proven failures such as the "War On Drugs" with interminable incarceration to benefit his own and his pals private prison investments and the dismal failure "D.A.R.E."
       D.A.R.E. is a most telling example having years ago been shown actually to have increased drug use in the young. Sessions has joined our Russisa-elected president in encouraging a militarized police state assault on the U.S. population which Sessions persists in claiming is endangered by an imaginary increasing violent crime rate while actually violent crime has been plummeting for decades should not be relied upon by the State for legal advice as it remains the Ninth Amendment's lay opinion that any CIA domestic U.S. activity is unauthorized and unlawful on its face while conversely Alphabet, Inc. Google has so effectively entangled itself with State actors that it is only fair that acting like one that it be treated like one and subject to the same constitutional constraints.
       Those wishing to pursue remedies against Google for unlawful activities such as illegal searches and seizures, censorship, any other civil rights violations as well as for monopolistic market practices, censorship, invasion of privacy and so on might wish to consult with the ACLU or the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) or other such entities should those organizations be in agreement with the above or other pertinent theories or through private counsel where laws which go unenforced by the State still may have private party enforcement provisions such as for antitrust, invasion of privacy, gang stalking, racketeering and so on.
       However, as an example of Google's pervasive efforts to influence and/or co-opt those most involved with significant public policy issues affecting Google a New York Times op-ed piece linked to below reveals that Google actually now has become a significant funder and thus potential co-opter of EFF an organization one normally would expect to most vigorously represent the public interest in matters involving Google's market dominance and other matters concerning especially the internet. Vigilance in protecting consumer interests and online rights is most important including because now the Republican Trump administration has taken majority control of the FCC five person board so significant in making decisions regarding profound internet issues affecting the public such as preserving equal internet access in all regards including under the doctrine of "net neutrality" which had been protected under the Obama administration FCC with the finding that internet access could be regulated as a "public good". The new Trump GOP FCC Chair Ajit Pai's appropriately misnomered "Restoring Internet Freedom" proposal to reverse Obama-era net neutrality received an overwhelming 22+ million comments by the Wednesday 30 August 2017 close of the comment period.
       Interested readers below will find some sources that may be in agreement that Alphabet Inc. Google's time has come to face the consequences of its global corrupt monopolistic malfeasance not the least of which being that it should be broken up mercilessly this once arguably long ago beneficent company rumored born of good intentions at MIT to develop a better search engine with site rankings based on legitimate links to Alphabet Inc. Google today being the harbinger of an Orwellian dystopia whose founding motto "Don't Be Evil" has metastasized into the embracing of Lord Acton's admonition morphing "Power Corrupts, Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely" into its creed and guiding light, or rather darkness. The European Union (EU) has been much more aggressive than the U.S. in pursuing American-born technology companies' privacy and other violations the most recent major action being the assessment of a record $2.7 billion antitrust fine against Google reported in the CNBC link below.
       As most (especially Russians apparently) agree nothing is free including from Google or any social media site which in return for what they provide they each time in turn take and keep one's every word, phrase, sentence, and/or paragraph, one's every thought of the moment now even absolutely unethically also undertaking without notice or knowing permission scientific experimentation on users' emotions and so on much like Zuckerboy with Facebook or, surprise, the CIA had with MK-ULTRA (ahem, attempted) mind control or of course the OSS/CIA good old pal Josef Mengele unmentionable psychotically sadistic "experimentation" (he's our boy, just fly him to South America).
       Therefore if convinced Google is not altogether beneficent why not take a moment each time one does a search or whatever to just also entirely randomly quickly search several other bizarre words or inane terms in which one has absolutely no interest at all. As the acting head of DARPA testified before its oversight Senate subcommittee as to artificial intelligence one major challenge DARPA had identified was "garbage in, garbage out" which meant DARPA had to be quite careful as to what input the A.I. was exposed as the wrong input could result in some very unpredictable consequences of significant concern.

       YouTube effective censorship of "controversial" material "not in violation of our policies" has arrived heralded within an apparent non-controversial "Fight Terror" posting . Official YouTube Blog August 1, 2017 post reports YouTube in past month used "machine learning" (primitive A.I. precursor) for 75% of removals of "terror content" videos with no human flagging. However YouTube uses the same post to slip into announcing it now also is taking steps to effectively censor video content by isolating it as "limited" separated by an interstitial, not recommending it, not recording likes, not allowing comments and ending monetizing of creator content of "controversial" material admittedly "not in violation of our policies" but presumably to kill off content unwanted or inconvenient to Google by means still evolving but given the entirety of the body of the post to include just by "machine learning" rather than just human censors either of which in any case is absolutely objectionable effective censorship of free speech on a grossly monopolistic platform.
     Alphabet, Inc. Google more recently has been suspected of practicing further unlawful monopoly censorship violating free speech and association rights without limitation by changing and/or eliminating delivery to users of search results yielding links to more fringe, alternative and/or progressive content in its "Project Owl" claimed fight against "Fake News" also used as a pretext for admittedly censoring "offensive (to Google)" content as set out for interested readers in the uppermost New York Times 26 September 2017 "Search Bias Claims" article linked to below.

“The Swamp” by John Cuneo

UPDATES to 15 May 2018   TOP HEADLINES SEE BELOW TOP LINKS GOP SLEAZEBALL SCUM SUCKER MULVANEY ENEMY #1 OF FED WORKERS CFPB CONSUMERS OMB BUDGETS LIAR TO ALL AMERICANS

       Tuesday, 3 October 2017 UPDATED / Thursday, 7 September 2017, New York, NY - Equifax credit reporting agency today disclosed that on 29 July 2017 Equifax discovered that from mid-May through July 2017 an Equifax website application "weak point" was exploited in a cyberattack data breach that compromised 143 million U.S. consumers' Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and some driver's license and other sensitive information leaving it for months vulnerable to hackers. Hackers were able to steal credit card numbers of 209,000 consumers. Dispute document personal information of 182,000 consumers was taken as well. Equifax disclosed also some personal information of an unspecified number of Canadian and British residents was stolen.
       The bad faith of Equifax is amply demonstrated several times over including as reported by NBC news that the same day Equifax finally publicly disclosed the massive consumer data breach on 7 September 2017 that it had learned of more than five weeks before on 29 July 2017 that Equifax was lobbying on Capitol Hill for a reduction in the already lax regulation of credit reporting agencies and their liability in cases of security breaches exposing consumer financial and other sensitive data.
       Equifax said it has found no evidence of unauthorized activity on its main consumer or commercial credit reporting databases. The company website says that worldwide it has data on more than 820 million consumers and 91 million businesses and information on employees from more than 7,100 businesses. Equifax says in addition to reporting the breach to law enforcement with the F.B.I. now investigating Equifax also has hired an unidentified cybersecurity firm to determine the "scale of the invasion" which investigation it expects to be complete "within the next few weeks." Equifax will pay for one year free credit monitoring and identity theft protection for all U.S. consumers who request it also with additional data risk information at  www.equifaxsecurity2017.com.
       The third link below is the New York Times article reporting the Equifax data breach with preliminary information including the website above. The fourth link below is Consumer Reports free advice on what every consumer should do when visiting the website. The fifth link below reports the New York Attorney General (AG) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau concerns against using the Equifax site as it requires too much information and the fine print may waive consumer rights to sue Equifax. In the sixth link below Equifax responds that those fine print terms do no apply in this help site case but former NJ Deputy AG says do not take Equifax marketing department advice for this as contract terms control. At the seventh link below the more recent New York Times article provides updated directions accounting for further developments at Equifax in response to the breach as to what steps one should take now to protect credit and personal information as best as even if imperfectly possible against misuse. The eighth link below details concerns about security of the PIN provided to unfreeze credit reports after one freezes them. The ninth link sets out how to freeze credit reports at each major agency.
       Unfortunately it appears that some Equifax executives despite its own catastrophic recklessness in not protecting data which consumers did not willingly provide to Equifax in the the first place nor request it to store may have exercised Equifax stock options and sold before the breach announcement was made public in addition to the Equifax "help" website requesting excessive information with fine print at least initially until overwhelming public outcry requiring consumers to waive the legal right to sue Equifax. Readers can go to the tenth link below for further information about developments related to officials' responses to the Equifax breach including Senate Banking Committee Democratic U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp's assertion that if executives who exercised options and sold Equifax stock did so with knowledge of the breach before the public that "somebody needs to go to jail."
       The eleventh link below is a further New York Times report that Equifax will provide free credit freezes on Equifax when requested within thirty (30) days (since reported to be free for Equifax freezes when requested by 21 November 2017) although the Times has not had all its questions and requests to Equifax as well as TransUnion and Experian answered to its satisfaction. At link twelve three major questions about the degree of inadequacy of Experian computer security are posed in the Washington Post's next article below although no further instructions are provided to protect the security of one's information.
       The Washington Post's next article at link thirteen below has all information for a chatbot that provides one's personal small claims court lawsuit papers free which filing should not preclude also joining a class action suit. Equifax seemingly has tried to deflect responsibility for apparent negligence or recklessness in not having sufficiently secured such highly sensitive information by referencing a vulnerability in a "website application". That reference by Equifax is to a vulnerability in its Apache security software which Apache rebuffed stating it identified the vulnerability and immediately provided a patch in March 2017 months before the Equifax breach began which Equifax had failed to install. A PBS article with credit/ID expert advice video is at link thirteen below.
       CFPB UPDATE Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Director Richard Cordray has announced he is resigning from his five-year term early. The CFPB has developed over the past seven years into an agency with a robust enforcement division. The CFPB has forced the biggest banks in the country to return over $12 billion directly to families the banks cheated. The CFPB hotline which remains in operation has handled over 1 million telephone complaints including on behalf of families against Wells Fargo Bank for its huge transgressions as well as serving as a major advocate of consumers with complaints against Equifax and others such as debt collectors.
       The CFPB has been under constant attack by the GOP Congress for its role as the one consumer protection agency left standing with Director Cordray called ceaselessly before GOP-controlled congressional committees to be subjected to relentless harassment by GOP congress members outraged that there is any federal entity left standing that actually represents the interests of the American people rather than those strongly favored by the GOP because they own it and bought all its members their "elected" seats such as predatory payday, student loan, bank, financial "services", pre-paid and other credit card issuer lenders and other such consumer predators.
       The GOP congress earlier reversed a CFPB rule with phony Christian Mike "Serial Liar" Pence ('lil Mike you just cannot be both at once) breaking a 50-50 Senate tie vote that would have forbid predatory financial institutions from forcing consumers to "agree" to be subjected to industry-biased arbitration and forced to give up their constitutional right to a trial by jury in a court of law. The GOP now is salivating at the opportunity for President Trump to appoint an official to head the CFPB who can gut its work protecting consumers a further reminder link below that every day Trump and the GOP are in power is another day piling on giant setbacks for the American people to whom to whom the Trump GOP lie every day. Readers interested in Director Cordray's early departure this month from the CFPB can go to the first link below.
       UPDATES Trump attempts in Trump WH Thanksgiving weekend night "news dump" to name Trump #1 anti-consumer WH "Trillion Dollar Deficit" Budget Director  Mulvaney interim CFPB "Swamp King"  under authority Trump did not have the interim position under statute going to CFPB Deputy Director Leandra English whom Cordray named before his early departure who under statute serves until a Senate confirmation of a new CFPB Director. Not to be encumbered by the law the Trump WH nevertheless named sleaze Mulvaney to the interim position leaving the CFPB with apparent dueling heads. CFPB Deputy Director English supported by the Dodd-Frank law creating the CFPB sued in Federal District Court for the District of Columbia for a temporary restraining order to block Trump's pick WH GOP hack uncredentialed OMB fraudster head avowed CFPB consumer enemy #1 Mulvaney the day before she was to take over the CFPB as interim Director.
       Newly Trump appointed Federal District Court Judge Timothy Kelly (surprise!) ruled in Trump's favor on the TRO allowing WH OMB Head (who as no advanced economics credentials) Mick Mulvaney also temporarily to head the CFPB which GOP hack Mulvaney has vowed to destroy because of his falsely espoused lie that it has imposed such great burdens on fine citizen banks such as criminal bank Wells Fargo and longtime criminal Bank of America. Readers interested in more information on the above updates can go to the first unnumbered first five links directly below.
       UPDATE to 5 February 2018 Anti-Consumer Consumer Financial Protection Bureau GOP Trump hack acting interim head Mick Mulvaney struck a further blow in his continuing assault on consumers gutting the CFPB investigation of Equifax, Inc. declining help from three U.S. agencies specializing in financial matters in cancelling on-site Equifax investigation and laying the groundwork for further disaster from that and other credit reporting agencies after Equifax had allowed extensive financial information of 143 million consumers to be accessed through a data breach after Equifax failed for several months after it was provided to install a patch for a vulnerability in its security software. As a consequence of the incident Equifax CEO Rogers resigned his position and took full blame in congressional testimony.
       Mulvaney in his undistinguished career as a Trump GOP hack confirmed by 51-49 the barest of Senate votes previously was the head of the White House OMB who by ineptitude or more likely intentionally in line with Trump orthodoxy vigorously defended wildly inaccurate budget predictions based entirely on political expedience unrelated to reality. Mr. Mulvaney literally forced himself into the open acting interim head position of the CFPB by getting to the open vacated office earliest in the morning contrary to a clear reading of the law (currently still the subject of a dispute) so he could immediately sabotage its operations first forbidding employees from sending out any money in the CFPB's possession for at least a month despite it belonging to and being expected by consumers paid by private entities to compensate them for having been wronged. Mulvaney requested zero dollars for the CFPB's annual budget apparently like his sponsor Trump unconcerned about fulfilling implicit obligations when charged with the duties set out under duly enacted law thereby ignoring the democratic will of the American people in violation of one's oath to the Constitution. Readers interested in more information about Mulvaney's gut of the CFPB Equifax investigation can go to one above the final link below.
       UPDATE to 1 March 2018 Equifax continued its peculiar strategy which will hopefully speed its paying out policy limits before suffering death by a thousand cuts but hopefully not before it pays out a fortune in consumer remedies including for credit locks, credit freezes, credit monitoring, credit repair and consumer damages in private and class actions including punitive damages plus wiping out all its executives and board of directors individually for their reckless and intentional unlawful misdeeds before Equifax suffers its well-earned death pulling down the whole sleezy wretched privacy invading totally incompetent "credit reporting service" industry now admitting it has known all along that it exposed another 2.4 million now totaling 147.9 million (about half) of all Americans most private and personal identification information and related data to every hacker and cyberthief who can use it or sell it on the dark web at any point for the rest of consumers' lives (unless they change their names, birthdates, social security numbers, addresses, phone numbers and so on).
       Interested readers can go to the final link below for this most recent Equifax disclosure but are advised that all intervening Equifax developments of available remedies from and/or against Equifax as well as any related information is not covered as the links following date from early after the incident was made public so interested readers are urged to follow links or do further searches to insure they have comprehensive information about all pertinent intervening Equifax breach reporting, updates, additional consumer remedies and so on without limitation as there really is no way to make Equifax and its officers and directors hurt enough for the harm they have caused American consumers but at least we can try.
       UPDATE to 7 March 2018 Consumer enemy #1 "Swamp King" Mick Mulvaney the same laughably bogus OMB head making totally BS economic forecasts from the White House with no training of merit whatsoever now guts CFPB to the delight of industry Trump government "acting in the corporate interest" in payday payoff ends all enforcement actions by CFPB with all "modesty and humility". Funny guy loser demonstrates zero integrity approach to federal government. Readers interested in more information can go to link 17 below.
       UPDATE to 27 April 2018 Tea Party co-founder publishes New York Times op-ed excoriating Trump "King of the Swamp" admitted bribe-taker CFPB destroyer and "Trillion Dollar Deficit" OMB man consumer enemy #1 scum "Prick" Mick Mulvaney poster child for exploiting endemic Trump administration corruption and calls on states to use U.S. Constitution article V amendments to take power away from hopelessly corrupt federal government and give it to the states at link immediately below.

       Wednesday, 11 October 2017 REPUBLICATION EDIT / 16 August 2012, WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Ninth Amendment editorial board expresses our deep and abiding gratitude to Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov the "[g]uy who saved the world". The United States government unsurprisingly has found no reason officially to recognize the man identified by the former head of the National Security Archive in 2002 as the "guy who saved the world" likely because he served in the Soviet military in an episode exposing the apparent perilous idiocy the United States Navy exhibited during the Cuban Missile Crisis dropping live signaling depth charges on a submerged Soviet nuclear-armed submarine in a still largely unknown incident alluded to by former U.S. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara as bringing us all to the brink of the end of the world in "the most dangerous moment in human history."
       Vasili Alexandrovich Arkhipov who on 27 October 1962 with no great fanfare distinguished himself as the "guy who saved the world" against all odds and still stands as a stark warning that as long as human means exist to end all life on earth in a matter of minutes that absolutely unacceptable risk including by human mishap or design is made even exponentially worse when that power rests with the wrong person(s) to trigger such an event either through unintentional instigation of unfolding irreversible circumstances and events and/or lack of reasoned sound judgment and/or unfit temperament which under such immense pressure due to for example a "fluid sense of reality" is unable to process accurately actual circumstances and/or conditions with none able nor empowered to stop them who even in a state of total delusion alone may commence nuclear annihilation.
       Lest persons seek to reassure themselves that any such circumstance as faced Vasili Arkhipov on that day in 1962 could not come about more than once in all of human history however long that may be it did in fact more recently come to light with the publication in 1998 of the memoir of the retired commander of Soviet missile defense that a mere two decades after the 1962 Ahkhipov incident that on 26 September 1983 44-year old Lieutenant Colonel Stalnislav Petrov in the Soviet Air Defense Forces "averted Armaggedon" at the critical moment on duty in a key decision position of a secret command center outside Moscow that monitored its early-warning satellites over the United States stood in shock as alarms went off and computer systems warned that five American Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missiles had been launched from an American base with just twenty-five minutes to detonation being only three weeks after President Ronald Reagan had rejected calls for freezing the nuclear arms race calling the Soviet Union an "evil empire" with Soviet leader Yuri V. Andropov obsessed with fears of an American attack.
       Colonel Petrov with a phone in one hand and an intercom in the other stood with maps and screens flashing trying to absorb streams of incoming information for five minutes with as many as two hundred people watching him even as the computer alert went from "launch" to "missile strike" with the computer system assessing the reliability of its information at the "highest level". He decided although it was at best a "50-50 guess" based on his intuition and given the relatively small number of missiles reported and the lack of radar detection of the missiles as well as his distrust of the early warning computer system that had been rushed into service that he would go with his "gut" and report that there had been a system malfunction. "We are wiser than computers Colonel Petrov years later in a 2010 interview told German magazine Der Spiegel. "We created them." Although first praised for his calm Colonel Petrov later after an investigation because he did not record everything as it occurred in his logbook despite recounting that both his hands were occupied holding a phone and an intercom was reprimanded. Interested readers can go to the second link below where it is reported along with other further information that Colonel Petrov died earlier this year at the age of 77 .
       Since this second known incident in a span of just two decades tensions and nuclear threat proximity in addition to proliferation have doubtless tightened and response time shortened even if one might argue that more modern computers and systems make for more safety. Who knows maybe even artificial intelligence though fiercely debated will be tasked misguidedly somehow to "improve" nuclear safety even though today's U.S. silo missile computer systems intentionally remain legacy systems running on original floppy disks so as not to be attached to nor vulnerable in any way to the internet and its vagaries.
       If assessments of greater safety are incorrect given increased tensions with shorter response time, reliance on things other than measured human assessment and the U.S. Constitution made exponentially less functional in its war power checks and balances being short-circuited strongly in favor of the President given what are deemed technical necessities in the nuclear age then although we here certainly are no statistical probability scholars it may be that even if long discredited as simplistic miscalculation that human nature "gut" nevertheless still may tell us if these two incidents both occurred in a twenty year span to 1983 then we may be just about fifteen years overdue for the next such incident. But that would require that we be naive enough to trust that ours and other modern States and their "defense" industry donor/owners have felt any moral compunction to be uncharacteristically honest enough as to inform us each time we have been unknowingly so close to nuclear annihilation.
