A new book claims FBI had an incriminating tape of MLK. But the author didn't hear the tape & the claim comes only "in a handwritten notation by an unknown person" in an FBI file -- written as FBI sought to destroy Dr. King & other black leaders. washingtonpost.com/history/2019/0…
The FBI's history of waging war on black leaders and other dissidents is among many reasons why some of us have challenged the Russiagate-era trend of venerating US intel agencies as beacons of integrity and guardians of our freedoms.
This includes the Patron Saint, ex-FBI Director Robert Mueller. Aside from the fact that he peddled the Iraqi WMD hoax (see below), Mueller also oversaw the detention & abuse of hundreds of Muslim, Arab and South Asian non-U.S. citizens after 9/11.

I love how the US is imposing crippling, murderous sanctions that even a top opposition economist says has cratered Venezuelan oil production and yet @vicenews’ take is right of the Monroe Doctrine: “Venezuela doesn’t know how to manage their oil.” cc @sebwalker
@vicenews @sebwalker Read Venezuelan opposition economist Francisco Rodriguez on this. Hates the government & blames it for corruption/ mismanagement, but note the direct correlation he makes between sanctions and plunging
oil production: venezuelablog.org/crude-realitie…
See also this CEPR study which found that sanctions since 2017 “contributed to a sharp decline in oil production” & since more sanctions in 2019, “oil production has fallen... 36.4 percent.” cepr.net/press-center/p…

Missing from @mehdirhasan 's essay on "Why All The Arguments Against Impeachment Are BS" is any mention of what he wants Trump to be impeached for; his argument for why there's a case for it; and anything that "rebuts and debunks" the counter-arguments. Seems important.
LOL:
For a guy who brands himself as a confrontational, adversarial journalist, @mehdirhasan sure faces some challenges about being challenged himself.

As compensation for the Warriors kinda ruining the league, the NBA should at least give us the TNT crew for the halftime/post-game show
And yes I know the Raps are up at the half — enjoy it while it lasts!

Do you believe in 📈 progress? Here's why you're wrong.

(A thread)
1/ The world is more materially abundant than ever, we’ve eliminated several diseases, lifted millions out of poverty.

Yet, people aren’t reporting higher levels of meaning or happiness than before.
2/ Why is this happening? Rising income or material abundance does not automatically lead to a higher satisfaction.

And not just at a global level, but also at a personal level. Why?

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

Wow, I've never really paid a lot of attention to the FBI motto & it's meaning before. Light, truth, & peace. What a profound set of ideals if coupled with a person of good character. But as #WeThePeople have seen, the ill reputed character's failed miserably at representing👇
My question is why are those agents who did the right thing, penalized @realDonaldTrump? I needed agents like the aforementioned when I was searching for my trafficked daughter. Not the cover agents for the cabal, I ended up reporting to, who I believe jad a hand in her death.

1/ I finished @nntaleb's new #book Skin in the game, and here are my learnings, insights and notes.

Warning: this thread is going to be huge.
2/ Human systems are systems within systems, interacting in complex ways. No article / paper / logic can capture all interactions of such systems and their evolution over a non-trivial amount of time.

So fear one shot, large scale interventions (such as invasions, UBI, CRISPR)
3/ People with fuck you money should call out famous or powerful people when they are wrong

reportedly, the guy who wrote the 'golden shower' dossier - here pictured with John McCain dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4…
. hmm.. recall: dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4…
. so Christopher Steele first passed the info to the FBI and then John McCain passed the same info - but both from same source?
