Had a brain wave / brain fart today - Don't know which?!

Recently re-read x2 #books that seem pretty consequential to modern day news cycles 📚

- #JohnPerkins #ConfessionsOfAnEconomicHitman

- #BillBrowder #RedNotice

Both began their careers for #Boston based consulting co's
#Boston #USA is part of that #IvyLeague playground 🧐

#MIT & #Harvard are in close proximity - Like #Oxford & #Cambridge in the UK (those prestigious institutions also synonymous with producing spy's & leaders)!

Perkins worked for #ChasTMain
Browder for #BostonConsultingGroup
If you look at geo-political history from 1980's - today... These two fella's have really played their part!!

Both books are great by the way... well worth a read!

- #JohnPerkins = #SouthAmerica & #CentralAmerica
- #BillBrowder = #US #Russia #UK #EU ... possibly the world!? 🌐

The UK Intelligence and Security Committee has published it's long awaited Russia Report. As our nearest neighbour, it's always interesting to see what lessons learned #Ireland can draw. (Thread 1/n)
Firstly, how do we interpret what Russia wants from a country like Ireland? The focus in the Irish media has tended to be on things like stealing technology from companies but the bigger strategic picture is important. Ultimately it wants to disrupt European integration
So Ireland could find itself a target of Russian interference in a future European Referendum. Especially if that relates to further security and foreign policy integration whereby Ireland could be used a blocking wedge. Just look at the first Nice Treaty.
