6:35: Michael Stumo, with the Coalition for a Prosperous America talks with Bill. Three Internet security experts have accused state-owned telecom giant China Telecom of diverting internal US Internet traffic through China. The purpose, apparently, was corporate espionage.
According to Doug Madory, an expert on Internet traffic at Silicon Valley software maker Oracle, China Telecom’s network sent out false signals that diverted Internet traffic supposedly bound for the Verizon network onto the China Telecom network. The traffic passed through Hangzhou and other Chinese cities, and this went on undetected for an incredible 30 months, from late 2015 through 2017, according to Madory.
“China Telecom… has misdirected Internet traffic (including out of the United States) in recent years. I know because I expended a great deal of effort to stop it in 2017,” Madory wrote in his Nov. 5th blog post on Oracle’s website, entitled “China Telecom’s Internet Traffic Misdirection

In an op-ed for Fox News, Tom similarly pointed out the risks that smart speakers pose both to businesses and consumers if not handled wisely.
8:10: Dr. Tim Ball, Chief Science Adviser of International Climate Science Coalition and author of: “Human Caused Global Warning: The Biggest Deception In History,” talks with Bill.
“If bitcoin use continues to grow, it alone could produce enough carbon emissions to raise global temperatures by almost 4 degrees F as soon as 2033, a new study suggests.
“Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency with heavy hardware requirements,” said Randi Rollins, a master’s student at the University of Hawaii Manoa and study co-author. “And this obviously translates into large electricity demands.”
Bitcoin and other similar, power-hungry cryptocurrencies are assets that exist in digital form only and are created and exchanged independent of banks or governments. New bitcoins are created or “mined” by computers that solve complex mathematical problems.
The bitcoins are then stored in “digital wallets” – a type of virtual bank account but without anything resembling deposit insurance – from which they can be tapped to buy things.
Transactions take place and are recorded in computers around the world in a public ledger. You can buy coins on cryptocurrency “exchanges.” This whole process uses a LOT of electricity. ”
ABOUT: Four years flying anti-submarine over the North Atlantic and five years search and rescue I learned about the inaccuracy and inadequacy of weather forecasts. After losing my flying category for hearing loss I went back to university to learn why. I quickly learned that climate forecasting was worse. At the time global cooling was the consensus and I was as opposed to that as I later became to the warming consensus.

6:35: Rachel Alexander from The Stream talks with Bill today.
The Stream’s Rachel Alexander looks at the chance the Democrats have to win the House in the midterms and what a Democrat majority will mean for President Trump.
All the latest polls are showing that the GOP will lose the House this week. The seats at risk tend to be areas where Hillary Clinton won in 2016.
So what happens to President Trump if the Democrats take the House?
Rachel believes, “The stakes are very high. If Democrats take the House, they might begin impeachment proceedings against Trump. They’ll certainly impede Trump’s legislative goals.”

The Maddox Brothers and Rose
By Dennis Powers
Riding the rails during the Depression days of 1933, the Maddox children (Cal, Henry, Fred, Don, Cliff, and Rose) left Alabama with their parents to settle in Modesto, California. Toiling from dawn to dusk, eating and sleeping in the fields, the family worked as “fruit tramps” in picking fruits and vegetables in the San Joaquin Valley and from Washington to Arizona.
To earn extra money, the musical family began playing for local dances with 12-year-old Rose in 1937 providing the vocals, even in honky-tonks. Two years later at the Centennial Sacramento State Fair, they entered a hillbilly band competition with a risqué, rocking and rhythmic, “Sally Let Your Bangs Hang Down.” They then officially were voted as and became California’s best hillbilly band. By 1941 they were popular due to being featured on far-reaching KFBK-Sacramento radio; however, they disbanded when the brothers were drafted or worked in the war effort.
After World War II, the group returned in 1946 as “Maddox Brothers & Rose”, and their showy stage dress gave them the title “the most colorful hillbilly band in America.” When Cliff died in 1949, Henry replaced him to join the other Maddox brothers (Fred, Cal, and Don) in the band. In the early 1950s, they performed on the Las Vegas strip and Grand Ole Opry along with regular appearances on the Louisiana Hayride, having recorded for Four Star Records before moving to Columbia Records. Among their successes were Rose’s recordings of the Woody Guthrie song “The Philadelphia Lawyer,” “The Tramp on the Street,” and “Whoa, Sailor.”
In early days, songs weren’t called country or Western, but instead hillbilly music. In the 1950’s, when hillbilly was losing its prominence, this transformed into pop country and rockabilly—and the Maddox Brothers and Rose were at the leading edge with the slapped bass that Fred Maddox developed. (Others believe that the group was one of the first rockabilly groups, if not the first.) This music had hillbilly vocals and instrumentation with a boogie-bass base.
The group was hot and known for its lively antics on stage with rakish costumes and a comedic approach by Don Maddox; Fred’s slapping bass style helped drive this broad change in popular music. The band disbanded in 1956 due to a changing music scene and Rose wanting to be out on her own with her brother Cal on the guitar.
Don Maddox, then 34-years old, decided that he wanted to be a cowboy or range rider; he had to find other work to pay his bills. He enrolled at an agricultural college in the San Fernando Valley, even though he had never attended high school. With that education, he began searching in trade magazines for a cattle ranch and saw one advertised in Ashland, Oregon, for $35,000 with 300-acres, some irrigated, and a house. Although this took his last money, Don Maddox bought it.
Rose Maddox continued singing with solo hits in the late 1950s and early 1960s as “Sing a Little Song of Heartache,” “Gambler’s Love,” “Kissing My Pillow,” and “Bluebird, Let Me Tag Along.” In the early 1980s, she recorded an album of gospel music, “A Beautiful Bouquet,” in memory of her son, Donnie, who had recently passed away. In 1996, her CD of “$35 and a Dream” received a Grammy nomination.
Don Maddox was the one, however, who became the bedrock of the Maddox family. When Rose and Cal returned, Don sold them 5 acres of his Ashland ranch to build a house on. They and their mother lived there, later joined by Rose’s son, his wife, and children. When Rose fell into poor health and hard financial times, Don bought the house back to help pay the bills and gave her a life estate to live there. When Henry ran into bad times and fell ill, he moved in with Rose.
When Rose died in 1998, all of the original Maddox family had passed away but for Don. Fred Maddox’s bass is on display at the Experience Music Project in Seattle, as the exhibitors believe he might have hit the first note of rock and roll on it. At the Country Music Hall of Fame, an entire section is dedicated to the group as part of the Bakersfield Sound Exhibit.
The surviving member of the Maddox Brothers & Rose—Don Maddox—was later “rediscovered” as an artist. With Merle Haggard, Marty Stuart, and “Little” Jimmy Dickens, he was one of the headliners at the Muddy Roots Festival in Cookeville, Tennessee. As Don said in an interview: “I’ve been working the place for fifty-four years, and nobody recognized me as a famous country music singer–until now.” And as a standout person.
