1. Implementing a Nuclear Posture Review with a more aggressive stance toward Russia

Whoa.
#Douma #Syria #OPCW
Second OPCW whistleblower: "Most of the Douma team felt the two reports on the incident, the Interim Report and the Final Report, were scientifically impoverished, procedurally irregular and possibly fraudulent."
So it was Ian Henderson who leaked the OPCW Engineering Assessment he'd signed. This wasn't known previously.

Sometimes all I can do is stare in awe at the power and efficiency of the imperial propaganda machine. When I first started this gig in 2016 Assange had way more support, from Berners, Greens, Trumpers, all across the spectrum. Now a large amount of that support has been eroded.
See this is what I'm talking about. You Trump people used to support Assange, now you're like "Sure, lock him up and extradite him, no biggie!" Everyone across the political aisle has been spoonfed a narrative designed to kill their support for Assange.
For Trumpers Assange is being extradited for his own good to bring down the Deep State. For liberals he's a Russian asset. For leftists he's a rapist and fascist enabler. There's a narrative for everyone, no matter where you are on the political spectrum. It's really impressive.

1. Establishment narrative managers shrink the Overton window (the spectrum of acceptable discourse) by framing more and more debates in terms of *how* the oligarchic empire should be sustained, steering them away from *whether* that empire should be permitted to exist at all.
2. They get people debating whether there should be some moderate changes made or no meaningful changes at all, rather than the massive, sweeping changes we all know need to be made to the entire system.
3. They get people debating whether they should elect a crook in a red hat or a crook in a blue hat, rather than whether or not they should be forced to elect crooks.

This session with an entrepreneur and his wife yesterday had my brain working ALL night and so I’ve decided to do a #thread without my super personal details.

This is a thread about #love and being an #entrepreneur
Once I had clarity of purpose and felt in my soul that I knew why I was on this planet at this particular time, I wrote a plan to achieve that ultimate objective.

I studied role models to understand how they managed to find love, especially paying attention to @richardbranson
Staying married seems to be extremely hard for ambitious people willing to take risks few people will take.

It is easy to be singularly-focused and seem selfish. Your business can seem all-consuming. You drop so many balls trying to juggle them.

1) This is my Q thread for July 30, 2019

My Theme: Red_Red
2) I need to record the video & podcast for the previous thread before I start this one.

Q's recent mention of Red_Red brings up a number of old posts and a series of social media responses that will take some time to explain.

Sit tight while I get the info put together.
3) You may have noticed that since Robert Mueller's testimony, the President has taken a more aggressive stance toward his enemies.

POTUS knows of their corruption but he wasn't able to openly point it out or have it prosecuted until the Mueller investigation was over.

#Russia-n mercenaries are now showing up everywhere in #Africa: one country in particular is the #CAR where Russians are also providing weapons. Also present in the #Niger Delta of #Nigeria actually helping the rebels that target the western oil companies. bit.ly/2KkU0OD
Fascinating story on how #Russia entered the #CAR. It was blocking a delivery of weapons from #France to #Bangui so #Macron told CAR President to go and convince Russia to unblock the sale. Instead Russia saw an opportunity to sell its own weapons to CAR. bit.ly/2rj8kyH
3 #Russian journalists killed in #CAR while filming #Wagner, the private military firm run by Evgeny #Prigozhin used especially in #Syria, part of #Putin's inner circle. Documentary was part of @tzurrealism, supported by Mikhail #Khodorkovsky.
