Beginning back in January 2017,- Person X received information from Seymour Hersh, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, that one of his sources had received information from an FBI report stating that Seth Rich had leaked emails to Wikileaks, requested payment and made copies of the emails as a precautionary measure. During his recent deposition in a case pending in the District Court for the District of Columbia, my colleague, [Lawyer Y] obtained admissions from Mr. Hersh that his source was “very, very knowledgeable,” ” incredibly accurate,” “tru s ted,” someone “senior ” in the intelligence community, and a person Mr. Hersh had known for over 30 years. Mr. Hersh also admitted that it was ” absolutely true ” that his source had communicated information that Seth Rich transmitted emails to Wikileaks, requested payment and made copies of the relevant emails to secure his protect.
The FBI’s searches included a three-way phonetic breakdown5 of the subject’s name.

Still doesn't explain how my package was at my local post office, ready for delivery to me , and was then sent to Chicago, 100 miles away, for a week. After a week it was sent back to my post office opened.
Idiots at your PO would be my best bet. There is a reason UPS and FedEx are strong.

I got the urge to see if HUMA means anything in CHINESE:
It appears HU and MA are 2 separate characters.
HU were an ancient tribe of Chinese from the North West but it can also mean:
Lake, Amber, Dig, Protect, Butterfly, Wooded Hill, Purest Cream, Frightened, Falcon, Water bucket, Big Piece of Meat, To Be Burned.
MA can be:
Frog/Toad, Mark, Morphine, Pair/Twins, Cornelian gem, Sacrifice to God of War, To abuse.
So HUMA could mean "To sacrifice a big piece of meat to the god of war".
Any Chinese linguists able to help out here?

I was surprised when looking them up that a sound like HU could have so many chinese meanings.
Think of my thought process a little like getting red shield from rothschild - or aqua, eau, water all meaning water.
I took disparate meanings of HU and MA and showed what they could mean together.

There is an odd stillness, like that moment before one jumps from a plane or takes on the inevitable task of something huge. A quiet from within.

First published in 1909, EM Forster's "The Machine Stops"
From epubbooks.com www.epubbooks.com...
In this short science fiction story, Forster describes a world in which almost all humans have lost the ability to live on the surface of the Earth. Each individual lives in isolation in a ‘cell’, with all bodily and spiritual needs met by the omnipotent, global Machine. Most humans welcome this development, as they are skeptical and fearful of first-hand experience. People forget that humans created the Machine, and treat it as a mystical entity whose needs supersede their own. Those who do not accept the deity of the Machine are viewed as ‘unmechanical’ and are threatened with ‘Homelessness’. Eventually, the Machine apocalyptically collapses, and the civilization of the Machine comes to an end.
Forster was President of the Cambridge Humanists from 1959 until his death and a member of the Advisory Council of the British Humanist Association from 1963 until his death.
When Forster's cousin, Philip Whichelo, donated a portrait of Forster to the Gay and Lesbian Humanist Association (GLHA), Jim Herrick, the founder, quoted Forster's words: "The humanist has four leading characteristics – curiosity, a free mind, belief in good taste, and belief in the human race."
Forster is noted for his use of symbolism as a technique in his novels, and he has been criticised (as by his friend Roger Fry) for his attachment to mysticism.

No kidding!!! You completely nailed what I have been feeling the last couple days. It’s almost eerie but, I’m choosing to stay positive.
On a sadder note. My husband comes from a hardcore democrat family and they loathe Trump to the point I think they have been driven a bit crazy. My mother in law and husband especially!!!!
I do not speak politics with my husband because I learned a long time ago it is pointless and it never ends well.
Last night, something snapped in him! I heard him screaming downstairs so I ran down to see what was wrong. He saw something on the news that angered him about Trump and he went on a raging rant that ended up getting quite scary tbh.
When I started walking away, he started directing his anger towards me and calling me horrible names... basically berating me, my intelligence, saying he couldn’t understand how he could marry someone so f’ing stupid😳 it was horrible.
We haven’t spoken since and I’m not really sure what to think. Things are getting beyond crazy.
