Russia Trains Its Propaganda Machine on Africa - for years Russia sent arms, offered mercenaries, and cinched mining deals, now many players who drove Moscow’s campaign for influence in the West are backing Putin’s African charm offensive, by @antontroian

Last week MD AG @BrianFrosh sued Westminster Management, owned by Kushner Companies, & 25 other companies for unfair or deceptive rental practices while running rodent-infested apartments in and around Baltimore & “hundreds of thousands of violations” of consumer protection laws
@BrianFrosh In September the @baltimoresun editorial board published a piece saying "If Kushner won’t settle, Frosh should sue"

And now Frosh has sued

A wild story I found while researching Mikhail Fridman & Alfa Bank about a subsidiary Alfa Eco. There's an Alfa Eco in NY run by Anatoly Potik who was accused of hiring a hitman to kill his son-in-law. Separately his son once sued Lindsay Lohan for $60mil
nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-c…
Here's 2014 press release - Bluesphere Signs Joint Venture Agreement with Alfa Eco Corporation to Build Global Waste-to-Energy Projects - that describes Alfa Eco "founded in 1989 as cooperative between Alfa Photo and ADP (Mikhail Fridman & Anatoly Potik)"
globalrenewablenews.com/detail_news.ph…
Potik's son-in-law, a shipping executive Oleg Mitnik who was embroiled in a $16 million divorce, alleged that Potik paid $100K to hire a hitman to kill Mitnik - and then allegedly Mitnik paid the hitman $125K to call off the hit

Though this is a complex & ongoing #investigation, it’s clear the DNC has not been open & transparent—for what reason we don’t yet know. This is a poignant example of why we need new laws to open up the finances of our elected representatives.

Right after Donald Trump’s election, the SPLC really stoked panic. A pro-gay Episcopal church in Indiana was vandalized w/“Heil Trump,” a swastika, & an anti-gay slur. Turns out it was the gay organ player who did it. He was only charged w/a misdemeanor. indystar.com/story/news/201…
Days after the Pittsburgh massacre, Trump supporters were blamed for Nazi vandalism at a Brooklyn synagogue & fires in a Jewish community. Turns out the perpetrator was a gay black man who had worked with city council on an initiative to fight hate crimes. newyork.cbslocal.com/2018/11/02/bro…
One week before the presidential election, a black church in Mississippi was burned in an arson attack. “Vote Trump” was written on the building. After much panic, an investigation revealed that the man responsible was a church member. Andrew McClinton: washingtonpost.com/news/morning-m…

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
