"Sorrow About To Fall" written by Jeff Lynne....The saddest day... April 30th

Destiny Nguyen

Mời nghe một bài hát hiếm hoi của một nhạc sĩ Mỹ viết về ngày 30 tháng 4 năm 1975 . Ngày mà theo người nhạc sĩ đó là một ngày tang thương đang đổ xuống Sài Gòn . Ở cuối bài hát diễn tả rằng có những tấm hình chụp được nhiều người trong đó , nhưng tất cả họ đều phải chạy , họ đã phải đi về đâu trước khi mặt trời lặn.

Invite you to listen to a rare song by an American musician written about April 30, 1975. The day according to that musician is a day of mourning coming to Saigon. At the end of the song he describes that there were pictures taken with a lot of people in it, but they all had to run, where did they have to go, before the sun went down?

"Sorrow About To Fall" 

written by Jeff Lynne....

There's a silence in the city

There's nobody around

And everyone that we knew

Moved to higher ground

There's a shadow hanging overhead

It lingers there alone

Changing all we ever knew

The changes start to show

There's a sorrow about to fall

There's a sorrow about to fall

There's a new sound in the wires

And ears are to the ground

And everything that once was ours

Has slowly turned around

Something happened to the seasons

Started falling with the rain

And something changed forever

We gotta find a way

There's a sorrow about to fall

There's a sorrow about to fall

There's people in the photographs

But they all had to run

They went away to somewhere

Beyond the setting sun

There's a sorrow about to fall

There's a sorrow about to fall

There's a sorrow about to fall

There's a sorrow about to fall

Sorrow about to fall, fall, fall, fall

Sorrow about to fall

Sorrow about to fall

Sorrow about to fall

World IQ 82

Via Tedmund Chan

David Becker has released a new version of the World’s IQ. Each country has a score showing the cognitive abilities of their citizens, this being a blend of genetics and the environment of each country, particularly as regards education and health. The world’s global score is 82. This is 12th percentile rank on the Greenwich Mean Intelligence benchmark of IQ 100. As school teachers used to say in end of year reports: “Could do better”.

What does IQ 82 mean in practical terms? The account below gives the achievements as shown in Western economies, with free education and usually free healthcare, and will need to be adjusted for other economies, probably downwards to account for poorer educational systems and the burdens of ill health.

Here, in broad terms, are descriptions of those in the IQ 75 (5th percentile) to IQ 90 (25th percentile) range.

Hillary Clinton: Assange "Must Now Answer For What He Has Done"

Via comment by Reborn "Can you believe the audacity of this odious old bitch:"

To Ruin Your Day. :)

Plenty of politicians on the left and the right were thrilled to learn that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange had finally been arrested in London after seven years of hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy. But none were more pleased than Hillary Clinton, who he has blamed Wikileaks - along with a lengthy list of culprits, including all of the misogynist voters who refused to support her - for her loss to Preident Trump in the 2016 election.

In the months before the 2016 vote, Wikileaks published troves of emails stolen from the DNC and Clinton campaign manager John Podesta that illuminated how the party, led by chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, conspired to sink Bernie Sanders' insurgent primary challenge and hand Clinton the nomination despite obvious concerns about her electability. After all, it was "her turn." US intelligence officials have said they believed Wikileaks was acting as a front for Russian hackers, but no evidence to substantiate these claims has ever been produced. Moreover, stories about links between the Trump campaign and Wikileaks, including one notorious report about Paul Manafort meeting with Assange in the embassy during the campaign, have been discredited.

Alan Dershowitz: Is Julian Assange another Pentagon Papers case?

Via Billy

Before WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange gained asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London in 2012, he and his British legal team asked me to fly to London to provide legal advice about United States law relating to espionage and press freedom. I cannot disclose what advice I gave them, but I can say that I believed then, and still believe now, that there is no constitutional difference between WikiLeaks and the New York Times.

If the New York Times, in 1971, could lawfully publish the Pentagon Papers knowing they included classified documents stolen by Rand Corporation military analyst Daniel Ellsberg from our federal government, then indeed WikiLeaks was entitled, under the First Amendment, to publish classified material that Assange knew was stolen by former United States Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning from our federal government.
