Does he mean Leopold hired Stanley again? cnn.com/2019/02/07/pol…
Stanley signed a 5-year contract at a salary of £1,000 a year and set off to Zanzibar under an assumed name..."all of his white companions (signed) contracts promising they would not write or publicly speak about their travels until well after he had published his journals"
John Rowlands aka Henry Morton Stanley managed to steal over a million square miles of Central Africa for his boss King Leopold who owned it as private property in perpetuity All under the guise of being a charity called International African Association. urome.be/fr2/ouvrag/tre…

You have read much of this before on my feed, but here is the media getting up to speed on the tribalist fuckery and bribery that greased the minions that helped put Trump in the White House. Will the Saud and Nayhan families be able to buy their way out too this mess? Of course.
The Russians were cheapskates and liars promising Clinton Dirt and running a low budget hacking and fake news scam on Facebook. The tribalists spent millions on dirty tricks, Trump boosters, back end contracts and middlemen all to get us to war with Iran and let them loot Qatar.
Mueller's primary mandate does not include investigating "Bani Yas" or "Wahhabi" collusion" but Erik Prince may have hit the trifecta on his one beer sojourn to Mahé by meeting with MBZ and RDIF and then getting squishy and cranky about it with HPSCI justice.gov/opa/press-rele…

News broke yesterday that Erik Prince's company Frontier Services Group has a deal to build a training center in Xinjiang, where Muslim Uighurs/Uyghurs are persecuted

A Prince spokesman denies he knew of the deal & FSG deleted the news from their site /1

Per WaPo, Frontier Services Group said deal is at a “very early” stage and it could not say what kind of training would be carried out at the base - after Reuters reported the deal - a statement posted on Frontier Services Group’s website was deleted / 3

🤔#SomaliaAndTeamTrump🤔

The curious tale of the long history of #TeamTrump & a GOP socialite operative in Somalia.

The players: Paul Manafort, Erik Prince, Roger Stone & Michelle Ballarin.
In 1989 Manafort sought to work for Siad Barre accused of presiding over “summary killings, arbitrary arrest, detention in squalid conditions, torture, rape”. In one of Africa’s many proxy conflicts during the cold war, but is a US ally against SU/RU.
theguardian.com/us-news/2016/m…
Somalia descended into anarchy, and a few years later, the intervention of US special forces led to the infamous “Black Hawk Down” incident. Barre died in exile in Nigeria in 1995.
