Secretary of State Mike Pompeo maintained that “there’s no contradiction whatsoever” in the shifting Syria strategy since President Trump’s initial announcement of US withdrawal.
“This is a story made up by the media.”
2/“...That’s fine, you all write what you like, but the President’s been very clear, and Ambassador Bolton and I have been very clear about this too, that the threat from radical Islamic terrorism is real. ISIS continues – we fight them in many regions around the country...
3/“... Our commitment to prevent Daesh growth, ISIS’ growth, is real. It’s important. We will continue at that,” he said in Cairo.
“We’re going to do it in a way in one particular place, Syria, differently. The United States’ decision, President Trump’s decision to withdraw..

Erdogan himself didn’t make time to meet with Bolton and said that “despite the fact that we reached a clear agreement with Mr. Trump, different voices have been raised from different echelons of the U.S. administration.”
2/ Erdogan: “Trump’s views on Syria and his determination to pull out remain our point of reference.” Re Bolton request Turks don’t attack Kurds, Erdogan said he “cannot make any concessions. Those involved in a terror corridor (in Syria) will receive the necessary punishment.”
3/AP: Shortly after Bolton’s meetings and in an apparent snub to the U.S. diplomatic push, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara’s preparations for a new military offensive against terror groups in Syria are “to a large extent” complete.

October 27, 2016: 1 day before the October Surprise Bloomberg DROPS maj story RE:Trump data ops. Team Trump invited in media to share their secret sauce & unveil "Project Alamo." Never made sense to me

So I set out to Debunk "Inside the Trump Bunker"

URL Project Pt 2 [THREAD]
Those of you who know me know I've been working on this for a while. By breaking down Trump/Pence tracking links, I reverse-engineered Trump's marketing prog in search of the truth. What was Project Alamo?

I believe the media has gotten the Trump data narrative wrong.

The Trump/Pence Facebook dark posts were not used for voter suppression. I've searched far & wide. Journos have asked me for examples of their 2016 FB suppression ads--they don't exist.

 How to select the media we use to be informed?
Be very careful about Fake News, which is nothing more than propaganda & give preference to independent media, so that you can analyze important issues based on facts and evidence.

When @JZarif says, "#Iran never raced towards a bomb, nor will it race towards a bomb," rest assured it is the exact opposite.
We will realize how Tehran sought nuclear arms for decades. For a country sitting on an ocean of oil & gas, a "peaceful" nuclear program is meaningless.
A very telling cartoon about #NorthKorea & #Iran, as Pyongyang signals indications to set aside its nuclear weapons/ballistic missile program. This is leaving Tehran as now sole target of the international community's soon-to-come pressures.
For those who describe #Iran's FM @JZarif as a "moderate" or "reformist"

"We will exit the NPT. / We will launch advanced enrichment," he says in response to Trump's May 12th #IranDeal deadline.
