Trump's Foreign Policy advisor and pundit for rent @WalidPhares is in business with Khalifa Haftar's son. Okba Khalifa Hifter is the guy who sued the head of the Immigration, Jeff Sessions, Head of Homeland Security and who knows who else in 2017. courtlistener.com/docket/1337008…
But wait it gets better. The Las Vegas company TransGlobal Commerce and Construction is a threesome with Phares, Haftar Jr and Neil Livingstone... "the most interesting man in the world" who offered to rescue Gaddafi for $10 million. Cash, I assume. nytimes.com/2011/11/18/wor…
Haftar's other kids are a hoot too. Saddam got busted robbing a bank in Libya in 2011, got shot and then allegedly had the witnesses head cut off. Saddam is a fasttrack Colonel (2 weeks training in Jordan) and has swapped the "Haftar" moniker for "Omer" ha-reporter.blogspot.com/2017/02/the-my…
Khaled has his own 106 Brigade and was supposed to sit tight in Gharyan but got excited and got bunged up. As soon as 106 hit Checkpoint 27 they realized Khaled had been had by militias who previously promised to roll over. He did make lots of cool videos.
Now back to Neil Livingstone the man with his own "private CIA" Who knew that in 2007 a story by Ken Silverstein and 2010 by Jeff Stein pop Dmitry Firtash like a zit, now waiting extradition back to the US on corruption charges harpers.org/blog/2007/05/w… and voices.washingtonpost.com/spy-talk/2010/…
Dmitry Firtash was Paul Manafort's business partner and a client of Neil Livingstone's Global Options. But that's old news today Haftar is repped by Stephen Payne and Brian Ettinger of Linden Government Solution and the irrepressible Ari Ben Menashe. middleeasteye.net/news/haftar-he…
Ari Ben Menashe like Neil Livingstone are linked to the Iran Contra gig and you could not invent the Rent A Janjaweed idea Ben Menashe is running between Haftar and Hemeti. My local friends in Darfur say even their moms are bugging them to fight for dough. middleeasteye.net/news/haftar-he…
Finally since now its like everyone is taking crazy pills, this in-depth report on Libya came out and the pie charts, maps and soothing colors almost makes the war in Libya sound normal. Dig in. smallarmssurvey.org/fileadmin/docs…

Before there was the DoJ indictments there were actual scientists analyzing Russian disinfo on Twitter. RT's job was to get suckers and paid spies to retweet. nature.com/articles/s4159…

There are a lot of ways to look at hostile efforts by Russia to confuse, weaken and divide their enemies (us) Here is a "hate map" frontiersin.org/journals/polit…

December 2016: Read the intercepted transcripts of U.S. miltiary General and Former intel head Flynn working out back door deals with the Russians to appease them. He later lied to the FBI. And was pardoned by Trump.

The Cliff Notes version. Flynn had been radicalized and managed to combine hustling nukes for Saudis with an alliance with Russia against "terrorists. Didn't help that a Neocon and Israeli asset wrote his jihad book. npr.org/2017/12/05/568…

Foriegn influence is not one dimensional. Saudis wanted the bomb. Israel wanted a war with Iran. UAE wanted to overthrow half a dozen countries. Russia wanted sanctions lifted. Donny spread his cheeks wide and flashed a number. He was open for business. politico.com/story/2018/07/…

Done shit. Seen shit. Been places. Loved the living. Honored the dead. So I am officially someone with common sense. America let’s not fuck up this election. I want at least a 12 hour hop to a dangerous place.

Trump’s deplorables are doing the same thing they do in shitholes before coups. Create fictional excuses to seize power due to “cheating” or “stealing” the election.He has no other option than to stoke violence. He knows he will lose newrepublic.com/post/185139/tr…
Remember Donny is not that smart. He tells everyone what he is doing and what he wants the slope pated to do. Here is his speech. After previous, far more inflammatory speech’s from his disciples. npr.org/2021/02/10/966…

January 10, 2017. Tom Barrack has a meeting about the inauguration event in which any donors and anonymous LLCs can blow as much as they want on Donny's party. Melania is in charge of the $107 Million dosh party. "its a coronation" c-span.org/video/?421571-…
January 15, 2017. $10 million in U.S. 100 dollar bills from the Egyptian Intelligence service via an Egyptian state bank is flown from Cairo to the U.S. Might as well get rid of those moldy Benjamins. Right? washingtonpost.com/investigations…
Melania's first hire was an event planner. Money flowed. But not 100 million. Wolkoff insist she got screwed. Somebody kept some dosh. Wasn't her. washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/styl…

"In 2008, an Egyptian man bought an opulent 10,400-square-foot mansion on famed Rodeo Drive. Sale price.$10.3 million.

Six weeks later, he transferred the mansion to a shell company set up by a brash New York billionaire – for no money at all."

Shit is complicated. Oh look Elliott Broidy.
Where these Donny's shag pads, money laundering or just spiffs? Or all the above. Why does the media never clear up their messes and finish the story?

Let’s elevate this story to WTF Level One. Pardons don’t come cheap. At least in MAGA land. Jared also got in some manky pardons.
Ike Perlmutter was very concerned. And we know how you say thank you in Trumpanzee. cnbc.com/2023/07/13/tru…
“An Israeli soldier who came to New York penniless, he built up a toy business, was bought out by Marvel, ended up saving Marvel from bankruptcy, started up the film division with Iron Man, and sold the company to Disney,”

Yeah….Ike is Israeli and American. But why pardon Wade?
