So the chances this is an Omidyar-backed project is about 99.9%. These 3 are on the dole of Democracy Fund Voice, Omidyar’s nonprofit:
Finn/McMullin have a few outlets funded by Omidyar. @NiskanenCenter has received about $500,000 since 2017 from Omidyar-backed largess

And of course it all goes back to Kristol and Defending Democracy Together, which also underwrites The Bulwark amgreatness.com/2018/11/14/nev…

NYT reporter wonders why Comey didn’t Investigate Comey for illegal leaks
“Prosecutors...investigate leaks of classified information around the time they appear in the media, not years later. And the inquiry is the latest politically sensitive matter undertaken by the US attorney’s office...which is also conducting an investigation of Andrew McCabe.”
Goldman seriously wants us to question why the FBI—under Comey and then his pal, Andrew McCabe—didn’t investigate illegal leaks that Comey and McCabe are responsible for. But NYT readers will buy it.

In August 2016, WashPo FOIAed the outside agency tasked with Afghan War oversight for Flynn interview. The agency refused. It finally turned over the Flynn interview in Dec 2017 but the Post didn’t publish it.

I asked why...
Here’s reply: “The editors wanted to publish all the interviews at the same time in order to provide a comprehensive and detailed assessment of the war in Afghanistan. If SIGAR had acted more quickly, we would have published all of the Afghanistan Papers much earlier.”

BUT...
That’s a little sketchy because something else happened in Dec 2017: Flynn plea agreement with Mueller on one count of making a false statement to FBI. Did Post refuse to publish Flynn’s interview because it would’ve revealed his harsh criticism of the same people targeting him?

“The general described rampant corruption that involved allied coalition and American officials; a narcotics racket that was the worst it has ever been; a rotating U.S. command structure that refused to concede failure.”

I’m digging into WashPo series... amgreatness.com/2020/01/13/une…
on the disastrous Afghan war. The paper obtained hundreds of documents and interviews, that disclose how we’ve been lied to by top officials, including presidents, about the war’s progress.

I reviewed Mike Flynn’s interview first—and now his targeting by Obama makes sense.
In his Nov 2015 interview, Flynn explained how flawed and politicized the intelligence process was under Obama. He confronted an unnamed CIA official—Brennan, presumably, since Flynn was head of DIA at the time—about why certain field Intel wasn’t included in the intel chain...

Liberal democracies are entering this new decade under heavy strain. Virulent populism. Weakened parties. Pervasive misinformation. (A thread.) 1/14

Let’s make 2020 the year that good governments recognize the magnitude of these threats and respond with imagination and resolve. I’d like to share one idea how. 2/14
More than a decade spent working in the borderlands between formal and informal politics has taught me that to ensure a future for democracy, we need to redouble our commitment to the idea of representation — which remains the basis of our democratic system. 3/14

Obama knew we "do not have a banking relationship with Iran".
But he segmented payments to a max cap transfar, and kept transferring over and over in one day.

He implemented the Iran Sanction.

Obama transfers this $ via to UK "banks" (unknown institution)

BUT
Iran can't access it, so:
" In its efforts to easily access these funds, Iran obtained from the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the Treasury Department a February 2016 special license to convert the funds (held as Omani
rials) to dollars as a means of easily converting
the funds into Euros.

Personal funding documents from @georgesoros funded @GretaThunberg and @ExtinctionR

The most interesting part is their (ER) internal documents hide from even their own staff Soro's amount of money he is giving.

 What really is the Democratic Left?
Thread

Combating MSM, @DNC & the Right's misinformation campaign, propaganda & lies about where Left, Center & Right actually are politically w/ some fucking history & facts to protect our #Democracy from modern slavery #Neoliberalism.
French Revolution Nat. Assembly seating was origins of political Left & Right spectrum designations.

Left wanted reform, new constitution w/ Declaration of Rights of Man & of Citizen

Right wanted to continue Ancien Régime - monarchy & feudal nobility

2/
 Examples:
1. Men are born and remain free and equal in rights.
2. These rights are liberty, property, safety and resistance against oppression.
5. The law has the right to forbid only actions harmful to society...

Dear candidate for the 2019 elections in Nigeria. Do you believe that all men are created equal and deserve a basic level of comfort and dignity? That is the belief where democracy really works. If you don’t, you can’t facilitate development in a democracy. #democracy
How many countries have moved from the so called 3rd World to the so called 1st World in the last 100 years through American-style democracy? Hard to find. Few that developed had another brand of democracy. Elite in developing nations will not accept equality of all. #democracy
Dear citizen, you have to sift thoroughly to find candidates that believe you deserve to be served with dignity and excellence, not enslaved or colonized. Please sift well. Check their track records. Your future and that of generations after you is at stake. #democracy
