DESCRIPTION:
Wikileaks’ released emails prove Hillary knew US close allies Saudi Arabia and Qatar were funding/equipping ISIS while Americans were also being murdered by ISIS, show her pretending Saudis and others were not from the beginning part of US conspiracy to create a fanatical Islamic state in order to destroy Syria and the Shiite government in Iraq. Why this is NOT AN ELECTION ISSUE
Here’s a .
The story points out a couple of times that it is not known what is in those emails. Nor how many there are. .
Should we assume that Abedin was sharing a computer with Weiner? Given that Abedin was the closest advisor to the Secretary of State would she share a computer even with her husband? If they had their own computers is it possible that Weiner knew his wife’s password and stole the emails? Could he be the kind of guy that wanted something that he could use to blackmail for protection?

The sounds you hear in movies, cartoons, and even reality TV shows are highly coordinated and processed to eliminate distractions and focus your attention. Volumes of voices are adjusted, frequencies tinkered with, reverb added, background music is added, and so on.
One of the most important roles in the soundtrack creation process is that of Foley artist. These are people who make sound effects. You know them. The ones using coconuts to make horse galloping sounds.
The Brattleboro Water Department has experienced some slightly discolored water complaints from customers of the Brattleboro Water System. Because of drought conditions and the replacement of a one million gallon storage tank we were unable to conduct fall water main flushing. Flushing normally occurs spring & fall and removes organics and minerals from the water distribution system.
Naturally occurring minerals (primarily iron) are typically to blame for water discoloration. These minerals, which are heavier than water, settle in water pipelines and may be stirred up from increased water flows in our system.
The discolored water poses no health hazards and the Brattleboro Water System is in full compliance with public water supply standards.
A revised project schedule for the water line installation at the Brattleboro Municipal Center results in the following impact to the public.
Monday, October 31: Grove Street Closed to Through Traffic
Municipal Center Access Access from Linden Street
