If we could only see the redacted parts of the Mueller report. "Facebook says Israeli company used fake accounts to target African elections" - CNN. Including the Arab world's only democracy, Tunisia. cnn.com/2019/05/16/tec…
This is setting the narrative for "these Israeli companies were just private companies that just happened to be in Israel". I submit to you that with Israel's cyber capabilities, it is *impossible* that the Israeli government had no idea about these activities.
Here's an article about the close ties between these Israeli companies (and others, such as NSO and Psy-group), and Israeli intelligence. The Israeli government needs to own up and not pretend it didn't know or that this was "rogue". m.calcalistech.com/Article.aspx?g…
Why am I linking this to the Mueller report? Google "Psy-group" and their role in the 2016 election. Here's a taste.

Israeli spyware from NSO is being used by MBS and Qahtani to target journalists, dissidents, opponents, and human rights activists. How much do you wanna bet that MBS and Qahtani also received help from Israeli companies for their social media game, which continues to today?

I'm a stateless Palestinian refugee and I found this @ajplus video about the Holocaust disturbingly antisemitic. You can't "yes, but" the freaking Holocaust. This is really shameful.
The video indulges in multiple well known antisemitic tropes, showing pictures of the victims of the Holocaust while the presenter engaged in a repeated and elaborate "yes, but" exercise. Really shameful work.
Among these tropes:
- "It wasn't only the Jews who suffered in the Holocaust"
- Even suggests that the "final solution" didn't only concern Jews (in fact it did)
- "Why only focus on Jewish victims? Everyone suffered"

The girl in the picture is 5-year old cancer patient Aisha Al-Lulu. She died alone in a Jerusalem hospital, because Israel didn't allow any of her family members to leave Gaza to be with her during her treatment.
This is an Arabic language report from May 3rd in which the family urges officials to allow them to be with their daughter. She was transferred to the hospital on April 17th, alone. alwatanvoice.com/arabic/news/20…
What's astounding (and important) here is that Aisha is only one of two little girls in this situation. Hajar, who is 9 months old, is also getting treatment alone, and her prospects don't look good.

Based on comparing tactics and shrapnel from Yemen, investigators say highly likely that the IRGC is behind recent attacks on oil tankers. In a war against the US, IRGC is likely to "use asymmetric methods" while maintaining "plausible deniability".
The Iranian regime in the past has made it clear that in the event of a large scale conventional war with the US, they will attack US allied Gulf states, disrupt oil exports, and attempt to block the highly strategic Strait of Hormuz.
A third of the world's liquefied natural gas exports and a fifth of the world's crude oil exports pass through the Strait of Hormuz, so any disruption would have global ramifications.

[Pg 11] Previously CLAS 'scope' > [Rod Rosenstein] to [MUELLER]
The scope memo [highlighted w/in Mueller report] confirms the dossier was the tool used by [RR] to justify Special Counsel & was the primary vehicle to which [RR] tasked MUELLER.

scribd.com/document/40672…
If dossier was known to be unverified & fake, how then was an investigation started to begin with?
At what point did #MUELLER determine there was no collusion? [18 mths ago? (Oct 17)]

Rosenstein Has To Answer For Appointing Mueller As Special Council

Was #investigation kept ongoing as a talking point to rig midterm elections?

Was investigation kept ongoing to retain #BLOCKADE to essentially restrict POTUS from unmasking & informing the public as to #TRUTH abt what really happened?

Barr made it perfectly clear in his testimony today that he is obdurate and will remain obdurate about handing over the grand jury materials that House Judiciary Committee chairman Jerry Nadler has requested. 1/62
Nadler has authorization from the committee to subpoena Barr for the materials, but he is waiting to see the redacted version of the MUELLER REPORT that Barr is preparing before he actually sends the subpoena. But clearly, Nadler is expecting the worst. 2/62
Since Barr made his intentions perfectly clear today, it seems to me that what is needed now is some strategizing that isn’t purely legal. 3/62

Another bad day for #Facebook: Psych researcher Aleksandr Kogan who helped #CambridgeAnalytica mine private data from 87 million Facebook users sues FB for defamation. Almost a year to the day since we first learned of the massive privacy breach scandal, which FB blamed on Kogan.

#Facebook & #Twitter are reported by the Russian state press to “report on their compliance with Russian regulations requiring companies to store Russian users’ data on servers located inside Russia. 👇🏼
“If they refused, both companies faced small fines of 5,000 rubles ($75), though Roskomnadzor was careful to point out that it has no current plans to block the social-media giants.“
(the same outlet later revealed that Twitter’s response actually notified Russian officials that the company’s representatives can’t visit Moscow in January.)

This article has provoked a lot of commentary today. Most of the commentary from the the left has been alarmist, though some (like @SethAbramson) have been dismissive. I don’t think either response is appropriate. 1/16
There was every reason to expect that Mueller would go into action again shortly after the election; we didn’t need this article to know that. 2/16
