“We shall [...] attempt to correct unfavorable international media coverage and current misconceptions concerning the Sudan and its government,” reads the contract.

The director of the firm, Ari Ben-Menashe, is a former Israeli intelligence operative" alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2…
They are pitching Sudanese mercenaries from a coup created nation to fight against the UN backed government in exchange for funding from the UAE via Libyan Haftar? Does anyone in the US government read these contracts?
more here:
Here is the hight point of their 2016 Eastern Libyan lobbyist Contract with Haftar. Half a billion dollars from Putin for Haftar's efforts. He knocks two million off cuz..why not?
January 11, 2017: It is worth remembering that on the exact same that day Erik Prince was telling Kriil Dmitriev to keep hands off Russia in the Seychelles. Haftar went aboard the Kuznetsov off Libya to sign deals with the Russian MOD.
Why so grumpy? In Feb -June 2015 Erik Prince's company Frontier Services Group had secretly socialized Haftar to the leaders of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, UAE and OPEC leaders using their Maleth Aero Cessna 550 Citation Bravo 9H-PAL right before he was chosen as head of the military.
Jan 3, 2016 Haftar ups his jet game thanks to the UAE. Falcon 900B N990B C/N 42 from UAE based Sonnig InternationalIn his official visit to Moscow to get Putin to lift the UN arms embargo. The Moldovan Ghilan family is behind the air support. africaintelligence.com/mce/business-c…
2015/2017: Haftar gets military support from the UAE delivered via the same Moldovan family — the Ghilans who own Sky Prim Air and Oscar Jet. Owned by Grigore Ghilan and his son Vladimir Ghilan who run old cargo aircraft inside Libya. All tracked by the UN rise.md/video-avioane-…
April 2018; Haftar swaps to different ride same owner. He flies Tunis to Benghazi via Dassault Falcon 900 4850BE P4-RMA c/n: 42 registered in Aruba to Sonning International Private Jet Golden Eagle Trading FZE (Fujirah)
Nov 2018: Haftar ups his mercenary game too. He meets the Russian version of Erik Prince, US sanctioned Wagner and troll factor head: Evgeny Prigozhin. meduza.io/en/news/2018/1…
April 2019: Finally with wings, wheels, folding money and official photo ops Haftar makes his move on the UN government. aljazeera.com/news/2019/04/s…
Postscript: When researching warlords, arms embargo breakers and militias. Be careful out there. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

The SDNY is crowdsourcing victims. Damn. I think Mr. Epstein will never, ever leave prison. Don't forget to arrest his high flying pals please.
Again kudos to the @MiamiHerald for restoring faith in the power and moral purpose of the media.
BTW Lawyer @AlanDersh and @MiamiHerald Epstein series author @jkbjournalist are going at it hammer and tongs. Not directly but furiously pumping out tweets like tracer fire. Curious to see how it shakes out.

Earthquakes are good. That means the tectonic pressure is being released along the fault lines. Gaspar de Portola recorded the first one in 1769 while he was exploring in the desert southeast of Los Angeles. There are between 12,000 - 14,000 a year. #Relax.cnn.com/2019/07/06/us/…
There are over half a million earthquakes around the world and we forget that population growth in vulnerable areas is the main reason why these natural events become disasters. We keep building on fault lines and shores.
By contrast war and famine are preventable disasters yet we can't seem to figure that out. So we worry about the "big one" while our President threatens the "big one" with Iran and other nations. Just google "Trump Threatens". #Gofigure

Long read with some new insight into pedophile George Nader, his associates and how he inserted himself into desperate deals. middleeasteye.net/big-story/geor…
His list of associates and cons is impressive. The $4.2B Russian arms deal with Iraq was Nader inserting himself and Maliki's kid into the same hotel during price talks to demand bribes. Putin threw them out and fires the Russian arms head . al-monitor.com/pulse/original…
Nader's relationship also involved Erik Prince after Blackwater was denied a license to operate by the Malaki govt and attempts to pay off the families of the murdered Iraqis who were suing him. George Nader in Prince's 2010 sworn testimony to lawyer Susan Burke in Abu Dhabi.

oh goodie Rowland is hosting #Insiders. He says it has been a taxing week hur hur hur... for Labor. I wonder why. Mayhap because Labor has done some actual policy work? Yes it must be that.
The #Insiders montage begins with victory scenes of that 1-seat winner, Scott Morrison. We are blessed. Followed by clip after clip of media talking heads scrutinising the Labor position on a government policy, a month after the government was re-elected. Truly blessed.
first up for panel discussion is the #medevac legislation. The government feels that it is on strong ground when it is arguing borders, says Karvelas. Not sure what rhetorical strengths have to do with policy and governance at this stage of the election cycle.

“What the agency does not report, does not take place” truepublica.org.uk/united-kingdom…
Most of international news coverage in Western #media is provided by three global news agencies based in New York, London and Paris. The key role played by these agencies means Western media often report on the same topics, even using the same wording
«The central role of news agencies also explains why, in geopolitical conflicts, most #media use the same original sources. In the Syrian war, for example, the “Syrian Observatory for Human Rights” – a dubious one-man organization based in London – featured prominently»

Over the last week, protests have erupted across #Sudan, with NISS intelligence service stations being burnt and reports of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) defending protestors in some locations. This is a developing thread for remotely monitoring the situation, h/t @trevorsnapp.
In Atbara, for example, protesters have set fire to the headquarters of ruling the National Congress Party, led by President Omar al-Bashir. There's plenty of visual evidence of the unrest, such as this video. Geolocation: 17.694190, 34.001319 (google.com/maps/place/17%…).
The NCP headquarters suffered heavy damage from the protests on 19 Dec 2018, as this photo shows (h/t @wasilalitaha). Second image shows the building in a better state, via their Facebook page.

#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.
