Those who actually know Prince can't help but stifle a laugh at his first failed mercenary gig in the heartland of the Wisconsin taliban...because apparently.... no one...uh..... knew how to handle security. @OldGrunt0351 Erik, does @yaf get their money back?
OK, the Battle of @Beloit_College is over. The first post-Mueller skirmish in the Second Civil War between grim faced, lawyered up, butthurt, hired right wing mercenaries vs baked insurgents using a lethal combination of drums, chairs and drag queens. beloitcollegeroundtable.com/2019/03/28/sch…
Erik Prince used to brag that his men took down the Bush shoe thrower in Iraq. I can't believe he doesn't have an Anti Cow Bell Specialist somewhere in his Rolodex. gazettextra.com/news/governmen…
Hey @BDNConnection Trump pumping Diane Kendricks produced The Stoning of Soraya M. in 2008. A cheesy Steve McEveety anti-Iran film that Erik Prince helped bankroll. Steve McVeety introduced Prince to Steve Bannon. And so it goes. #EverybodyMustGetStoned en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stoni….

Saudi #Fuckery This squabbling inbred family of socially retarded tribalists is easily the worst worst abuser of technology and skill sets since the Nazis used the flying bomb. No wait, at least the Nazis invented that stuff. reuters.com/investigates/s…
After the family coup which put MBS in power they have aggressively used transfer technology and imported skills against their own citizens and local rivals. Christopher Dickey lays it out in plain language. thedailybeast.com/the-real-reaso…
In 1984 the USG commissioned a study on the potential effects of transferring technology to the Middle East including nukes. We knew the potential for disaster but" a coherent technology transfer policy has not been established." ota.fas.org/reports/8428.p…

"According to Ms. Newbold, these individuals had a wide range of serious disqualifying issues involving foreign influence, conflicts of interest, concerning personal conduct, financial problems, drug use, and criminal conduct,” apple.news/A1xlD0CFjSlS4r…
I never had a TS/SCI clearance. Never needed one. Never applied. Never would get one. I spend too much time with bad people in bad places. I do work with folks who do have clearances and knowing how things work, it is easy to see all the red flags the Trump crowd triggered:
I still have to get my head around Bolton being paid to pimp a Communist terrorist regime change death cult and then wondering if that might slow down his security clearance.

""Why are so many American office workers obsessed with artisanal pocketknives?” Yeah it's a thing.

Not that I am biased....but how could any red blooded male not want to own this work of art?
Vice explains lumberjacks culture: "And while modern EDC nerds pore over the specs of titanium fidget spinners, these were guys who entertained themselves by playing a game called “hot ass” that revolved around slapping each other with frozen fish."

Going to read “The Right Side of History”. This will be some mixture of enlightening, been there done that, and hate-read dunkathon. Let’s see.

No idea what Shapiro’s background is outside trolling libs, but I maybe he’s sort of Straussian? The ‘Jerusalem plus Athens’ thing.
So the thesis is ‘things have never been better, but we’re fucking it up now.’ Pinker + angst.
‘We’ in the book is Americans, natch.

In an age of disinformation, 'fake news' propaganda fed by anonymous bots, it's tiring to respond to erroneous accusations. But it's precisely because of the age in which we live that it is important to do so when one can: especially when you're not an Anglo-Saxon male. #Thread
I have to say, I came to this realisation late. For years, I ignored scurrilous attacks on my own work, because ignorance doesn't deal well with knowledge. It's all too often a ploy to just whip up anger and hate, instrumentalising a writer or author in order to do so.
But, I've changed my policy in that regard. Because the reality is, this is not merely about one's own reputation: it's about the state of knowledge production at work. If ignorant attacks are left unchallenged too often, ignorance becomes the basis of public narrative.

.#Wisconsin story. Tony Evers sworn in as 46th Governor of Wisconsin.
Evers, the former state superintendent of schools, get a big hand for pledging to fully fund public education. Mentions several other priorities before sound system cuts out briefly.
Prolonged applause as Evers promises to take gun violence and global warming seriously. This has been in doubt in Wisconsin recently.

Last night I received my 8th call about the JMJ documentary on Netflix. 🙄 I just want to know how all of these phony people claim to care about Jay and his mother hasn’t heard from any of them. Not even DMC or Run. She’s in her 80’s and all three of her children are deceased.
Imagine the pain of not burying one of your children, but all of them. All of these people are scum to me. From the parasitic culture vulture production teams to the maggots on camera pretending like they care about that man. If any of them really cared this wouldn’t be unsolved.
If any of these bums and media whores really cared about what happened to Jay all they have to do is pressure the Queens DA to offer Tony Rincon immunity for his testimony. Tony was just a young star struck kid who took a bullet that night and is guilty only of misplaced loyalty.

alrighty, then.

So much for post election comity. Fanciful notions of POTUS and Pelosi dancing through the Rose Garden after signing a $3 trillion infrastructure bill are pretty much gone.
1) Anyone reading this will not need to be briefed. This is aimed only at those who actually know something. You be the judge of that.

The sides are clearly drawn. The truth quite accessible as well. It is, 'out there' as the slogan goes. Once recognized it leads to even more.
3) This culminates in the forum the Q experience has created. It is a mathematical universe of codes and of course, 'crumbs' for the regular folk.

They have been both active, AND correct.

.#Wisconsin story. Scott Walker and Tony Evers facing off in #wigovdebate
Walker and Evers sparring over who plagiarized what. Walker, who introduced the subject, got off it quickly. Gets in a Tommy Thompson (popular former WI governor, 1987-2001) reference, and adds more in the next segment.
Tony Evers pledges $1.4 billion in new schools funding, including $600 million for students with disabilities. This sounds like a lot. #wigovdebate
