Erik Prince/Frontier Service Group now running an old 1979 Short SD3-30 C/N SH3026 out of CIA Air central aka Ft Lauderdale. Used to belong to a west coast SEAL parachute training company. FSG is a Chicom CITIC company. Begin scratching head now.
Photo is January 2019.
Plane was sold by SkyQuest, Oddly enough the company that sold Erik Prince's other secret planes. Does it get weirder? Oh yes..quite a bit weirder.
Boeing B767-238ER c/n:23403 Tail # N774WD was owned by Erik Prince's Salamis Aviation. Sold in 2010ish. Supposed to be an airline that flew from Florida to Dulles to Eastern Europe and then Afghanistan. Rendition express? Did it actually happen? Well Skippy the internet is free.

"Bolton’s delighted reaction suggested the seizure was a surprise. But accumulating evidence suggests the opposite is true, and that Bolton’s national security team was directly involved in manufacturing the Gibraltar incident." #FailedFuckery theguardian.com/world/2019/jul…
These hacks had to go to Albania to get a decent Iran war audience. It's like dinner theater for 60's TV actors. "The main takeaway from the event was that the Iranian regime is close to collapse because of its desperation"

Did I mention that Saudi Arabia bankrolls the MEK cult in Albania and pays generously if you sputter and pound the podium demanding regime change? middleeasteye.net/opinion/why-ir…

It is "Zero Hour" here in Tripoli according to a Facebook post by the #LNA. I think I will get a shwarma. arabnews.com/node/1528326/m…
My ground information is not matching the big statements. There was some internal fighting in Tarhouna between a salafist LNA group and a Haftar group. al Jufra Air Base is being hit by Turkish drones which appear far more accurate than UAE drones. Libyans are tired of this.
There was a big push but it was blocked and pushed back by about 80 civilians in Gharyan who shot the shit out of the LNA. They can't hold and Misrata has not gone heavy. Maybe he will air drop money and iPhones

#Libya- so apparently the FGM-148 Javelins that were found at #Garyan belonged to....#France

Wait, it gets more complicated. The weapons were meant to "protect French troops in Libya", but also "damaged and no longer usable" and "awaiting destruction".

Well, which one is it?

If it's non-usable & awaiting destruction, what the hell were the Javelins doing in Garyan, which had little to no significance prior to Tripoli campaign (and therefore had no reason to house French troops)?

"Footage online seems to show the capture of the “Portuguese mercenary” pilot whose fighter jet was downed by the Libyan National Army. He is seen being questioned after his plane was shot down, & later reveals his alleged name."

It seems an independent auditor came to Abu Salim today looking into UN activities. The guards told detainees in advance not to mention that they haven't been fed for months (some of their families are sending them money to buy food with instead, which guards take a cut from).
Messages today from Qasr bin Ghashir dc, southern Tripoli, today, where they’re asking for evacuation & any organisation that can help them.
Sorry for my confusion, the teenager above was being held in Qasr bin Ghashir, but has now been moved to the UNHCR facility in Tripoli for evacuation. He's asking for help for those he left behind.
