1/7 Again the media is dangerously backing partisan agendas by omitting the most crucial dynamic from this #Trump #Iran #Iraq #TrumpsWar #WWIII development

Iran already owns Iraqi governors

Iran also controls the largest voting bloc in Iraq's govt

2/7 RE #Trump #Iran #Iraq #TrumpsWar #WWIII

Now Iran controls the largest voting bloc in the Iraq govt (see previous link) & the only alternative is led by this anti American cleric, as the second largest bloc that is ultimately controlled by Lebanon

3/7 RE #Trump #Iran #Iraq #TrumpsWar #WWIII

What Bolton & Trump are failing to explain (& media is failing to analyze) is they lost any allies in Iraq, Iran & Kurdistan (as well as Syria & Lebanon) by conceding to Russian dominance & creating this political vacuum in Iraqi govt
4/7 RE #Trump #Iran #Iraq #TrumpsWar #WWIII

In summary, the US left 2 major factions in charge of the Iraq govt when it abruptly exited

The #Fatah bloc, controlled by Iran

&

The #Sairoon bloc, controlled by an anti American Lebanese cleric

5/7 RE #Trump #Iran #Iraq #TrumpsWar #WWIII

Anyone working in #ForeignPolicy knows Bolton created this vacuum on purpose, to spark a new war against a familiar foe with the goal of keeping Trump elected

But this time the US made enemies of the Kurds, who've now allied with Iran
6/7 RE #Trump #Iran #Iraq #TrumpsWar #WWIII

Ultimately Trump & Bolton united the most dangerous players in the Middle East, under the protective wing of Putin, in a show of electoral desperation

And they've done this with no thought for US spec ops at FOBs along Iranian border
7/7 RE #Trump #Iran #Iraq #TrumpsWar #WWIII

So Jagmeet Singh may not grasp which country is affected & Mike Pence may confuse Saudi terrorists with Fatah, Sairoon, Hezbollah, & ISIS

But less complex dynamics & reckless abuse of #ForeignPolicy once sparked the vengeance of 9/11

1/10 Update RE Kinsella Complaint #CDNlaw

Unfortunately there's a delay filing with @LawSocietyLSO due to the regulator's insufficient process for visually impaired complainants

With concern, the Ontario Law Society doesn't outline disabled access provisions in process manual
2/10 Update RE Kinsella Complaint #CDNlaw

Moreover, the @LawSocietyLSO doesn't accept digital evidence arising from a lawyer's online misconduct, harassment &/or possible criminal activity

LSO created a barrier to modern complaints by forcing all internet evidence to be printed
3/10 Update RE Kinsella Complaint #CDNlaw

In order to file this complex & serious complaint, the @LawSocietyLSO requires hundreds of pages of digital evidence to be submitted in printed form instead of accepting links to original & archived copies

This will cost more than $1000

1/28 #CDNpoli #CDNmedia #Elxn43 #ForeignInterference

As some of you already know, my blockbuster investigation RE dubious interference in #Elxn43 (mostly via social media) is now being censored by Twitter, so it says "tweet unavailable" in RTs & threads

2/28 #CDNpoli #CDNmedia #Elxn43 #ForeignInterference

Several of you have sent screencaps to prove this censorship is happening

I thank @TrippettaRaffe for being the 1st to let me know, especially because Twitter doesn't notify account holders when it censors individual posts
.
3/28 #CDNpoli #CDNmedia #Elxn43 #ForeignInterference

An hour after @TrippettaRaffe notified that my investigation is being censored by Twitter, my fiancé was able to confirm the same issue

Of note, he's a federal govt scientist who now can't see my post

1/9 #CDNpoli #USpoli #UKpoli #ForeignInterference

So, I set out to find contact info for Twitter to get in touch RE incidental censorship of political journos due to new company policy

Upon digging through the SEC I discovered theres a #TwitterPAC & I'm too busy to deal with it
2/9 #CDNpoli #USpoli #UKpoli #ForeignInterference

The #TwitterPAC is interesting enough to share though, in case any American journos wish to inspect

A few highlights:

- Twitter uses Deutsche Bank
- They donated to Chuck Grassley
- They also donated to the Tea Party's Mike Lee
3/9 #CDNpoli #USpoli #UKpoli #ForeignInterference

Today Dorsey stated

"We've made the decision to stop all political advertising on Twitter globally. We believe political message reach should be earned, not bought"

Yet this conflicts with a #TwitterPAC

Le président US #Trump annonce que ses tweets serviront de notification officielle au Congrès si jamais il devrait frapper, "peut-être de façon disproportionnée", de nouveau l'#Iran en représailles...
Pour le coup, c'est inédit, et sans nul doute vraiment historique.
RT
2) Ce tweet de #Trump est à la fois 1 provocation ravageuse envers le Congrès, en particulier la Chambre démocrate responsable de l'#impeachment, mais aussi la suite logique de la "re-présidentialisation" totale de la conduite des opérations militaires menée depuis le Watergate.
3) Car on en revient toujours à l'autorité légale du président US à employer la force militaire sans l'autorisation du Congrès depuis la War Powers Resolution de novembre 1973,ce qu'on abordait déjà ici vendredi, à l'initiative de l'excellente @Naismtz7.RT

I spent 10 years as a US Army Intelligence Analyst, and what I can tell you is that killing #QassemSoleimani was a huge mistake for many reasons. There’s a good chance that ISIS would not have been defeated in Iraq & Syria without his expertise. /1

#TrumpsWar #WWIII #Iran
The same people who say he was in Iraq to make plans for attacks against US personnel, are the very same people who told us that Saddam had WMDs, that Assad gassed his own people in Douma, etc. So yeah, I’m calling BS on that. /2
When are you going to stop believing the lies & war propaganda that the US Government and the MSM keep feeding you? All this talk about Iran being the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism is complete BS that our govt keeps peddling on behalf of Israel & Saudi Arabia. /3

#Iran has decided to directly respond against the #US assassination of #IRGC commander #QassemSoleimani and #Iraq commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandes
#Iran #IRGC cmdr #QassemSoleimani movement was not a secret because it was understood that his killing will create a response.

He was killed in #Iraq by a #US order and #Iran will hit the #US by Khamenei order.

That will drag a wider confrontation

#Iran #QassemSoleimani commander was due to visit #Turkey President Erdogan and had a visit scheduled to #Lebanon.

His trips were known for many. The assassination will not at all affect Iran military and operationally because no one is indispensable.
