<<THREAD>> Been thinking a lot about the Israeli-based Psy-Group who likely contributed to the Trump Campaign's digital efforts. I wrote about them in the latest Narativ. @traciemac_Bmore 1/4 narativ.org/2019/01/02/sal…
It's interesting the work Psy-Group did mirrors what the Internet Research Agency in St. Petersberg is said to have done for Trump. 2/4
IRA was meme-centric, PSY fake news, and Cambridge Analytica psychographics. We have clues CA worked with Psy. Did Psy work with the IRA? 3/4
Something tells me the Israelis had the know-how and the IRA executed a Russian front or cover. Just a hunch. Thoughts welcome. /END

<Thread> If Zuck and Sheryl don’t realize the gravity of the situation now, they should rethink their roles. We did try to tell tell them, didn’t we, @traciemac_Bmore ? 1/6
The 5 biggest Facebook stories on Narativ.

<<Ivanka-Thread>>

This takes you back....., @traciemac_Bmore @LincolnsBible 1/6
Back to the time, @realDonaldTrump and @IvankaTrump built a Trump Tower in Baku, Azerbaijan with a developer tied to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Anar Mammadov. We wrote about it here: 2/6 @traciemac_Bmore narativ.org/2017/07/23/cri…
Mammadov's father was a once powerful former Azeri Transportation Minister Ziya Mammadov. His Baghlan holding company is a main player in the Azerbaijan Laundromat. @IvankaTrump played a big role in the design and build of Baku. 3/6. @traciemac_Bmore

This is incredibly significant and spells trouble for @realDonaldTrump, @nra and @TheNatlInterest @CFTNI. The prospect of the entire NRA being caught up in a Russian laundromat to fix an election is very real. @traciemac_Bmore 1/4
Butina was in contact with members of the Washington think tank, considered to be a Kremlin proxy in D.C. I wrote about @TheNatlInterest @cftni, #HBO, #CNN execs involvement below. 2/4 @traciemac_Bmore narativ.org/2018/11/16/kis…
Worth recalling, Butina’s testimony will give the FBI conspiracy evidence going back to 2011, which should make people like @DonaldJTrumpJr, @SherrifClarke and JD Gordon nervous as we first detailed below. 3/4 @traciemac_Bmore. narativ.org/2017/09/08/for…

<Thread👇> How does the @INSSIsrael Plan propose to redraw the #Israeli🇮🇱-#Palestinian🇵🇸 map? (N.B.: This is NOT a proposal for a peace treaty, but a back-up action plan for Israel to start separating from the Palestinians if final-status negotiations prove impossible.)
1/ The basis is Areas A + B from Oslo (40% of the West Bank). B might be expanded to include Palestinian "spillover" into C. PA security control over Area B, as in A. This is basis for a future Palestinian state, and possibly a Palestinian state in temporary borders.
2/ 25% of West Bank from Area C allocated for Palestinian economic development & int'l effort for industrialisation and building. Security and planning responsibility in Israel's hands, to be transferred incrementally to PA. Territorial contiguity, new transportational network.

<Thread> There's a lot going on so I missed this yesterday, but the media is reporting GEN (Ret) Jack Keane is under consideration to replace Secretary Mattis if/when he departs.

I'm not a sociologist, but I want to talk a little bit about norms. 1/

washingtonpost.com/news/josh-rogi…
Others have covered the ground on why the norm of not having retired generals or admirals serve as SecDef is important. @ahfdc, for example, says even having a really good retired general serve as SecDef can threaten civilian control of the military: 2/

warontherocks.com/2016/12/mattis…
@charlie_simpson argues that retired generals & admirals (& Secretary Mattis in particular) hate management & administration so they rarely make good bureaucrats: 3/

Pentagon spokesperson on Syria strikes: “The Russian disinformation campaign has already begun. There has been a 2,000% increase in Russian trolls in the last 24 hours."

...a few comments on this.

<thread>
Let me start by saying: Yes, the #disinfo campaign surrounding Syria is very real and very much underway. But it's troubling that a Pentagon spokesperson can't clearly articulate what that means, what it looks like, and what it entails.

1/
For one thing, the disinformation campaign surrounding Syria didn't just begin. It's been going on for a long time, and it has never ceased.

Here are a few examples — from October 2016.

1) #Trump a toujours 1 sens politique des opportunités qui est très aigu...Il commence sa journée par 1 charge contre l'enquête #Mueller, réaffirmant qu'il n'y a AUCUNE collusion avec la #Russie...ET, 10 ms plus tard...RT
2)...#Trump fait 1 second tweet pour défier la #Russie et lui annoncer qu'elle ne pourra détourner les missiles US qui seront envoyés sur la #Syrie. Comment dès lors envisager en effet la moindre collusion...? RT
3) Il ne faut pas oublier qu'une nouvelle frappe- qui semble imminente- en #Syrie par les Etats-Unis de #Trump donnerait 1 nouvel argument en béton au président US pour liquider #Mueller sur le thème:"Quelle collusion? Assez perdu de temps, regardez ce que j'ai fait en Syrie".

<THREAD> But this is a key distinction. Israeli military & intel pros AREN’T where you/Bibi/Trump are on the Iran Deal. They’d take the status quo over a “nix,” whereas you/Bibi/Trump say you prefer a fix, but ALSO believe nixing it is better than keeping it.

Big difference. 1/8
I sat in the room with the head of IDF intelligence a few days after the JCPOA was finalized in 2015, listening to him brief that the deal put shackles around Iran’s nuclear program for more than a decade, buying time and space to address Iran’s other destabilizing behavior. 2/8
That is the consensus view among professionals in the Israeli military & intel communities, just as it is among those same professionals here in the United States. Hardline politicians & pundits are the outliers here. 3/8

<THREAD> Remember when CIA Director Pompeo was considered one of the admin's “adults"? Turns out he's more than just a hack; he’s dangerous.
The latest evidence—a doozy—is @theintercept's rpt revealing he met with Bill Binney, apparently at Trump’s urging. theintercept.com/2017/11/07/dnc…
Binney has gained far-right & far-left-wing prominence for his insistence that the DNC hack was an inside job. consortiumnews.com/2017/07/24/int…
