"they". I hope they perp walk Rudy in his tighty whiteys
and I can't wait for Bannon and Prince to join Rudy. It appears they have all been doing bad things for foreign paymasters. #DrainThatSwamp. #LockThemUp
NBC shows how the sausage is made. The pitch, the vetting and what red lines prevented them from being played. We need this on ALL media stories since they lives off "story pitches" and PR. And rarely is the genesis and provenance included.
nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news…
News organizations could add "Source" with a database of the PR agency or person who pitched the idea. This would separate "placed stories" from "enterprise journalism" which is rapidly disappearing. nbcnews.com/tech/security/…
So back to Rudy. Rudy, Like Steve Bannon is on the payroll of foreign elements who are working to manipulate Donald Trump. Ergo the smoke and bullshit faux media. He is a former prosecutor and mayor. He should know better. Fuck it... #LockHimUp abcnews.go.com/Politics/rudy-…

After the awkward Prince/Dmitriev Seychelles meeting Nader agrees to use Rick Gerson to reach Jared in the White House. Then Nader slides Broidy into what looks like the role Prince wanted: FauxMercenary boss and BunnyBangerExtraordinare. apnews.com/article/a35218…
Broidy (with Nader) was pitching a 5000 man "Muslim" mercenary task force for Afghanistan. With Stan McChrystal at the helm of Circinus. That never happened. documentcloud.org/documents/4471… ImageImage
Between May and August 2017 Prince was paying people to write op-eds on using mercenaries in Afghanistan. He gets cockblocked in August by Mattis at Camp David. Then magically in October Broidy is pitching Prince's plan for Afghanistan directly to Trump. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

⁦@JasonLeopold⁩ over at @buzzfeed needs some kind of award. Mueller had plenty to nail every one of these greasy @TrumpFuckerists then he was shut down by Barr. Now you know why.

12th Mueller FOIA Release (201030) - DocumentCloud beta.documentcloud.org/documents/2040…
The Libya Project fell apart in June 2019. Secret payments were alleged to have been made from Kushner in 2018 using $145M UAE funds. Docs show: July 18; $28.5M to Erik Prince, July 19; $85M to Haftar. In Aug another $11m to Erik Prince final in Dec: $21M.
After Prince's minions failed, Wagner mercenaries, aka the Russians, poured into Libya in Sept, then Mozambique. Prince sued the Intercept to try to silence this story of a meeting in the UAE with Wagner's head of intel. Who was meeting whom about what? theintercept.com/2020/04/13/eri…

Since we are on kind of RIP "the real" James Bond thing. slantmagazine.com/features/every…
The oddest thing about James Bond was the American surf guitar riff against the jazz showtune background. Vic Flick did the honors.
"Then the Bond producers heard the soundtrack to the 1960 teenage "angst" movie Beat Girl, and it was just sound they were looking for. The Beat Girl theme was written by composer John Barry and features Flick on guitar. "

After the election the inaction and incompetence of Trump in dealing with a pandemic will result in a new legacy as the largest mass murderer in American history. Extreme? Unfair? Yes. But a lot of pent up anger out there. #NegligentCovidcide
When this is over in two or three years, America may want to build a monument to all that we lost to the pandemic. As of today we have the highest new infection rate in history. That statistic I pin directly on Desperate Donald Trump and his band of science-hating idiots.
Pandemics are predictable, controllable and curable with time and management. We even have a pandemic expert, reporting system and scientists racing to get vaccines and medications to market. We can even learn from successful plans in other nations. ourworldindata.org/coronavirus-da…

The symbol of 60's sadomasochistic cool is gone. RIP Sean Connery. bbc.com/news/entertain…
Sean captured Bond perfectly. The original books had a very ambiguously gay, odd pain loving, homo erotic cold shower thing going on. He played it low key. Probably best caught in this later version by Daniel Craig.
Young Sean was no slouch in the gym.
