Just returned from a visit to Puerto Rico. This thread highlights culture and resistance to imperialism.
In old San Juan, the artist collective La Puerta painted this mural as a call to resist American colonialism, neoliberal economics and the imposition of crushing austerity measures. m.facebook.com/lapuertabander…

Senate Report on Russian Interference Was Written By Disinformation Warriors Behind Alabama ‘False Flag Operation’ - My article at @GrayzoneProject grayzoneproject.com/2018/12/25/sen…
Senate Intelligence report authors at @NewKnowledgeAI have devised a curious bot identification method that "sometimes mistakes real people who post anti-imperialist arguments about U.S. foreign policy for Kremlin trolls." grayzoneproject.com/2018/12/25/sen…
According to @NewKnowledgeAI CEO @jonathonmorgan, you can tell you've fallen victim to Russian bots if the information you read "makes you too angry" grayzoneproject.com/2018/12/25/sen…

The Intercept's @JeremyScahill and @mehdirhasan do a segment on the "debate on the left" about Syria. But they say nothing about the situation on the ground and neither will come down clearly against regime change. A total cop out.
Some really revealing talking points from @JeremyScahill. Here refers to al-Qaeda as "the Syrian resistance" and condemns "Russian barrel bombs." (Russia doesn't use barrel bombs, what is he talking about?)
says leftists are against regime change in Syria because they hate America, not because they understand the terrible implications of US regime change wars from Iraq to Libya.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

📌Did Kavanaugh float the idea of ‘mistaken identity’ a couple days ago?

📌If Kavanaugh was part of a discussion on a scheme to pin the sexual assault on another man, this alone is disqualifying.

👉🏼What is @OrrinHatch’s involvement in this disinfo campaign?
💦Deluge2💦

👉🏼Innocent people do not take steps to smear the victim as ‘mistaken’ or ‘confused.’

📌Yahoo: Kavanaugh floated the "mistaken identity" theory directly to Orrin Hatch.

📌Whelan involved in helping Kavanaugh’s confirmation is close friends with Kav & Leonard Leo.
💦Deluge3💦

📌If Whelan was working with Kav, L. Leo, Hatch, McGahn & PR Firm, one could make a strong argument that Whelan’s ‘mistaken identity’ thread constitutes obs’n of justice.

👉🏼It is imperative the @FBI investigate this, particularly if WH leaked WP story to Whelan.

We all saw this coming when Trump bragged about his multi-hundred billion dollar arms deal with the Saudis, shortly after taking office.

I hate to say it, but the U.S. has sadly been complicit in what has been described as the world's worst humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
In May, Trump signs a "tremendous" $110B arms deal with Saudi Arabia. #YEMEN

In November, the U.N. warns... #YEMEN

1. This is about Power, Alliances and Manipulation. While our electorate muddles through the stages of grief regarding Russian involvement in the 2016 election and the GOP hurls sticks into the wheels of Justice, Putin's long game plays out before us. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
2. Install a @POTUS who cannot only be manipulated, but will most assuredly create chaos within America and damage our reputation. Weaken democracy and faith in political process in America and Europe. Sow discord, disinformation and division within the electorate.
3. This has played out completely as planned and our attention and media are focused on our own domestic crisis and disarray. Meanwhile, our Administration is 'inexplicably' soft on Russia and those that stand up to that idea are swiftly removed and replaced.

Good morning.

I need to share a few things.

About a war.
Many don't know about.
That has killed a lot of people.
That we the U.S. are helping fight.
But Congress never voted on.

YEMEN. (And next week Congress will finally vote.)

This war is bad. Do not look away. It's brutal.

A dictatorship -- Saudi Arabia's King Salman -- is bombing its next door neighbor -- Yemen. And not paying much attention to where those bombs land. (2/x)
Our own U.S. government has supplied bombs, cluster bombs, jet fuel, and intelligence to Saudi Arabia in its war.

When Saudi jets fly to Yemen to drop their bombs -- THEY GET REFUELED ON THE WAY BY THE U.S. AIR FORCE.

(And Congress never voted on this.) (3/x)
