  • This is the first time I’ve heard of Scuttlebutt. Thank you for the introduction.

    For your multiple-device problem, I would suggest trying Syncthing. It allows you keep folders synced between devices over a local network. I use it for a very similar application to what you are describing:

    Logsec is a journal/note-taking software that stores each entry as it’s own markdown file. I use it on my phone, laptop and desktop, and want to have all my notes synced between devices. I could put the folder of markdown files on a cloud server, but choose not to. Instead, I setup a link between each device’s Logsec folder through Syncthing.

    Now I can add or update notes on my phone when out in public, and when I return home and reconnect to my WiFi it automatically updates the other devices on the network. Also, when editing the markdown files on my desktop, the updates are synced to my phone nearly instantaneously.

    I expect this method would work very well with Scuttlebutt due to it’s similar offline nature.


  • This article cherry-picked some of his words, but ultimately he is against wealthy corporations not paying their fair share through tax exeption deals. He is not against funding public education. But of course, take the corporation-backed mainstream-media message at face value and hope he gets bullied away. Then the current township leaders can continue handouts to big corporations, while increasing taxes on the residents.

    Did you know that in recent years the Township Committee under both political parties has awarded over $150 million in 30-year tax exemptions to billionaire developers at 750 Walnut and Birchwood?

    We residents have to pay for this on their behalf. It’s a few thousand dollars every year in extra taxes per household. In return, we receive little besides increased traffic, flooding, overcrowded schools, and overburdened infrastructure.

    Indeed the $55 million we voted to pay for our beloved schools in the January referendum was necessary precisely because the developers are contributing nothing to our educational system. I want to be elected to stop the resident-funded overdevelopment of Cranford.

  • He’s upset that wealthy corporations aren’t paying their fair share and residents are being forced to pick up the tab. He’s running for an elected position in his township to combat this and appears consistent on his message.

    Also, he isn’t campaigning against funding the education system. Again, he just wants developers to chip in too.

  • I only put a portion of the quote in the search text to not exclude variations in punctuation between sentences. I wasn’t pointing to the string of characters in the search bar, but the results it yielded. The full quote is in the search results, including the threat on European capitals.

    I’m not sure how you can continue to say this policy doesn’t pass the sniff test. The only context in which I have heard Samson option discussed is in regards to Israel taking out everyone with them. There’s been literally books written on the subject, showing Israel’s intent and capability (see the sources in the Samson option wiki page for the books).





  • The Samson option is far worse than mutually assured destruction. Instead of retaliatory strikes against the sole country which launches nukes first, Isreal plans to nuke major cities all around the globe if they are ever nuked. They have already used this threat to coerce other countries into supporting them.

    In the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Arab forces were overwhelming Israeli forces and Prime Minister Golda Meir authorized a nuclear alert and ordered 13 atomic bombs be readied for use by missiles and aircraft. The Israeli Ambassador informed President Nixon that “very serious conclusions” may occur if the United States did not airlift supplies. Nixon complied. This is seen by some commentators on the subject as the first threat of the use of the Samson Option.
