a daily caller writer was on an email list that referred to adolf hitler as “our friend” and trump as “our friend’s son.” splinternews.com/leaked-emails-…
i see your cynical takes about how you’re Not Shocked and i’m not impressed. i posit that @hannahgais’s detailed reporting about the Caller’s repeated employment of white nationalists calls for a real reckoning about how we treat its role in the infosphere.
It’s useless to scoff at the Caller as long as their white nationalist-friendly newsroom can still get people fired for innocuous social media comments, or treated as “real reporting” by mainstream sources.

1) There is something suggestive about the construction of buildings in American culture and society. Just as churches once raised the highest towers of the city, we see wealthy individuals use skyscrapers as egotistical personal and corporate symbols at the peak of every cycle.
2) As historian David Nye wrote in his book, American Technological Sublime, “To experience either the jagged skyline in the distance, the immense vistas aloft, or the insect life of the streets below validates that power.”
3) In 1913, the 792-foot Woolworth Building, known then as the “Cathedral of Commerce,” became the tallest in the world. A year later, there was a global financial crisis. The biggest gold outflow as World War I broke out imperiled America’s ability to repay its debts abroad.

(EXPLAINER) Dimitri Simes, Ed Cox, Carter Page, and George Papadopoulos: four men tied together by the Kremlin-linked Center for the National Interest in DC and the Kremlin-linked Valdai Discussion Club in Moscow. The below summary of their ties is fully sourced from major media.
1/ If you can read the above and have any confidence that Trump's Russia policy wasn't the result of machinations by the Kremlin—via Putin "friend" Dimitri Simes—and not see a fact pattern indicative of an underlying bribery, you've read more than the 2,000 police reports I have.
2/ We wondered how and why a whack-a-doodle like Page got a campaign job, or why a desperately under-qualified guy like Papadopoulos got a job. It turns out you only had to look at the Kremlin's top Moscow think tank and its top DC think tank—it wasn't more complicated than that.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

So what is the deal with Alfa Bank?

Let's break it down.

With dates and sources, as is tradition.
To understand the true scope of the Alfa Bank story, we will also have to incorporate Daniel Jones into the mix.
On January 11, 2016, Christopher Steele met Adam Waldman, where they discussed Oleg Deripaska's attempts to gain a visa for business at the end of February 2016.

#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.
