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…

There is a certain point at which those who hunger for total control go after their opponents. The rise of Putin, Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Mussolini etc have all been analyzed and charted. The science of destroying democracy exists. A fake crisis awaits. georgetown.edu/news/major-cri…Image
Image
Image
Trump consistently promotes false narratives and crises. His last was a "stolen election," his latest is "migrants," allowing him to build the largest federal Gestapo in the world. A lawless rendition and imprisonment system. Remember his enemies list? nytimes.com/interactive/20…Image
Image
Image
there aren't enough migrants to keep Trump's Gestapo busy. There arent enough to fill his Gulags. All we know is that he is creating the largest federal police force in the world with "counter terrorist" authorities. Currently 260K and $170B richer. politico.com/news/2024/11/0…

Gaza about to get lit. Cancel your vacation plans. The tribes are pissed. This Israeli op is top of the list. Image
Gaza is more than a strip of land. There are historic, geographic, political and transnational linkages. Israel is trying to hire clans and gangs like Yasser Abu Shabab's to stir things up. The clans are stirring back.

Excellent map on incidents:

Sheikh Abu Salman Al-Mughni runs the "Higher Commission for Tribal Affairs" brought in over 140 trucks. Israel shut it down. Binny has a plan to ghettoize Gaza into tiny competing enclaves. middleeasteye.net/news/war-gaza-…

There is about $120 Billion of Iran's money frozen in U.S. banks. Watch how Trump pretends to launder it through the Gulf to bulid reactors for Iran but watch how much goes to Russia to build them. How do I know this? cnn.com/2025/06/26/pol…
I did a screed earlier today on how Iran's nuclear program has really been Russian since 2005. As of two weeks ago Russia also signed a deal to build eight new reactors for Iran worth $15 billion. Now hold on, I'm not done. powermag.com/russia-has-dea…
If this sounds familiar, it is. In 2016/2017 Mike Flynn was greased to pitch a Gulf-based, Russian-built nuke project that would require lifting sanctions. "Trump's highest foreign policy priority is to stabilize U.S. relations with Russia" reuters.com/article/world/…

Since the media won't tell you, the Iranian Nuclear Program is actually a Russian nuclear program. Begun in 2005 and continued right up to where they helped remove the enriched Uranium and some of the equipment. armscontrol.org/act/2005-04/ir…
Iran first tried to enrich Uranium in 2003 but has been consistently unable to create a nuclear bomb. The material comes from a single Russian-managed plant. But that will change "We have a contract with Russia to construct 8 nuclear power plants in Iran"
powermag.com/russia-has-dea…
Why was Russia kept out of the propaganda and hasbara? Cuz Donny is sucking up to Russia...who is the enemy of Israel and allied of Iran? The media can't add this element of complexity because it makes Donny the bad guy and Russia's bitch.

This is the "oppo" report on Trump from 2015. You will notice not much has changed in his ignorant rhetoric and ideas. His lack of intelligence and sophistication made the Dems confident he would never be elected. Read it. vox.com/2016/6/15/1194…Image
There are links to every article. To be fair it's a document designed to show weakness in a candidate. Like this story from 2005. Trump was broke as a muthafukka and to squeeze his children for money. They didn't trust him. . nytimes.com/205/10/23/busi…Image
Image
2005 was an interesting year. Not only is Trump broke, Its also he year Trump was trying to convince investors he had a hotel deal in Moscow. He would put no money in. Felix Sater handled the deal that never happened. nytimes.com/2017/01/16/us/…Image

Amateurs. No world leader takes Trump and his clown car seriously. The basic rules of power are to strike hard to set the tone and negotiate from strength. Aka carry a big stick and talk softly. politico.eu/article/marco-…
Everything Trump touches dies. Self inflicted stupidity is when you hand your enemies the next move. And they don’t care. nytimes.com/2025/04/23/bus…
There is no shortage of sage guidance and detailed reference on how to wage war. Trump has availed himself of none of them. He has plunged America into conflict using the counsel of tech bro fools and golf buddies. Image
