Proposals for 'virtual fence' on border haven't worked in past. Big problem: They don't keep anybody from crossing border illegally. Now, Dems trying again. But tech plan even less useful now, because nature of illegal flow has changed. 1/3 ow.ly/3wyP30niTVb
Now, many illegal crossers are families & unaccompanied children. Goal is not to enter US undetected. Goal is to enter, be caught, and begin asylum process that will allow them to stay in US, even if asylum claim is baseless. 2/3 washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…
In those circumstances, virtual fence useless. Could be why advocates want it; gives appearance of toughness on border security, but doesn't stop illegal crossers. 3/3 End. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/column…

A few thoughts on Roger Stone indictment. First, what it's not. No charge of conspiracy or allegation Trump campaign conspired with Russia. Stone not charged with lying to or obstructing Mueller probe. 1/6 ow.ly/zd0v30ns4jw
All seven counts against Stone based on his 9/26/17 testimony to House Intel Committee. Charged with obstructing House by saying he had no emails with Corsi, Credico, and also by trying to get Credico to take Fifth or lie to House. 2/6 washingtonexaminer.com/news/in-new-mu…
Stone also charged with lying when he told House Credico was his only 'go-between' trying to contact Assange, when in fact Stone also contacted Corsi for that purpose. 3/6 washingtonexaminer.com/news/in-new-mu…

Haven't said much about Buzzfeed debacle. Was skeptical moment I saw it; I covered Valerie Plame affair, remembered author. But had other things to do yesterday; expressed caution and moved on.
Later, re-read Mueller/Cohen documents. Buzzfeed piece didn't seem consistent with them. Why would prosecutors specifically say Trump directed Cohen to violate campaign finance laws, but remain silent on Trump directing Cohen to lie to Congess? Odd.
Didn't keep up with day's coverage; but don't think Buzzfeed incident will really change anything. Tone of some coverage has more to do with emotions and longings than anything else. That's not going to change.

Reading Mark Warner CNN transcript on Trump-Russia. This the-latest-stories-are-very-troubling-but-I-can't-say-what-I-know-because-it's-a-super-duper-secret routine is getting really old... 1/4
Given seriousness of Trump-Russia allegations, there is a desperate need for radical transparency. Full Mueller report, plus all underlying testimony/interview transcripts, should be released. No classified versions. 2/4
Full Senate Intelligence Committee report, plus all underlying testimony/interview transcripts, should be released. Everything. Plus all transcripts from House Intelligence Committee and Senate Judiciary. No classified versions. 3/4

1. More on the connection behind the Saudis, ClA, JFK hit, BU5H family, and...? You're not going to believe this:

2. My previous threads on this are crucial to help you understand just how connected all of this is. If you haven't read my past big thread on this, please do so before continuing. It'll help in making many connections before you read this one.

3. I am working on the premise that DJT and Q are going after a long seated cabal that has been in deeply rooted power and operation for 70 years ore more. I have given proof of the events that led to the invention of the ClA and the early role they had in initiating a massive...

On Sunday between five hundred and a thousand caravan migrants carrying their country’s flag bull rushed the border. They screamed profanities and hurled rocks and bottles at the brave Border Patrol men and women protecting our nation. #2
The Border Patrol was correct to use non-lethal tear gas to break up the horde of invaders. They are defending our nation’s border from an invading force, complete with weapons, (however crude) and flying a foreign nation’s flag. #3

I've been thinking about this recently: Why don't we talk about representation in tech the same way we talk about representation in media.

Short answer: Tech people don't pay attention to mainstream media (weird flex but ok?)

Long answer: I personally think we should, a thread:
I think for the last 3-4 years (maybe even longer actually) we've been fervently discussing the importance representation in media, right? We've heard countless stories about how, if a child doesn't see a doctor, or an engineer, or a superhero on screen that looks like them, they
rarely consider the possibility that they could be in those roles (hear that? it's the sound of 10yo Tanvi's dream of being Spiderman being flushed down the toilet).

In parallel, for the last 3-4 years (again, maybe even longer, and I just haven't been paying attention) we've

Since I have an evening unexpectedly free I'm gonna get my read-through of #V5 Anarch on the books. Given how the Camarilla book seem to have gone over, I am not expecting much, but who knows? Into the breach once more!

Come, stay awhile, and listen!
As with before, let's get the authors on the record here. Fewer authors than the Cam book, which is surprising.
Wait, this introduction... it present the book's theme directly, outlines a central paradigm for the setting, talks about how to use this for a chronicle, and lays out a basic roadmap for the book. And it's all clear and well written?

WHERE DID THIS COMPETENCE COME FROM??

0/ Thread. Having spent some time with @Nicolas_Colin on his new book HEDGE about #tech, #entrepreneurship, social #policy and the future of the Safety Net, I'm sharing some things that stuck with me, and why HEDGE is one for the ☀️📚📝 #readinglist amazon.com/Hedge-Greater-…
1/ @Nicolas_Colin is thought-provoking not least because of his vantage point - graduated from the French ENA, worked at the top of the French civil service, set up his own company, and invests in startups all over 🇪🇺 with @_TheFamily
2/ Im not one for party politics, and HEDGE isn't about that. It's a book that speaks to the zeitgeist of the #techlash and ways for #startup #founders and #politicians to think about smart, sensible policies to build an inclusive Safety Net 2.0 📖

1. #QAnon's drops can require some time for personal analysis and input from the many good people digging. Here's my summary of key intel from the last week+ (1/19 - 1/27) of #Q drops. For Twitter efficiency, I will provide the direct link to the related posts as I review.
2. Chuckie Schumer was put on notice by #POTUS that his role in #Treason is known. Did you notice how # Schumer sulked away to the corner after his failed shutdown effort? 8ch.net//qresearch/res…
3. Read this whole #Q post as it has so much meaning. "Will Sessions drop the Hammer?" HAMMER refers to the very secretive NSA spying program. The same tools used to spy on #Trump will be their undoing. 8ch.net//greatawakenin…
