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…
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…
The idea was to pull troops out and replace them wth $3.5B worth of used planes and people. Meanwhile Neocon Khalilzad is desperately trying to install the Beach Talibs and undermine Ghani. Who benefits? The UAE and Saudis who now flank Iran on the East. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Broidy seems to be busy in a lot of countries, using rappers, Bevery Hills real estate agents, rabbis and a bizarre mix of partners to get the gold. motherjones.com/politics/2018/…

An appropriate culture snapshot of the Last Days of Trump. One TrumpTruckTard requires two Fort Worth police cars to extricated him from "intimidating" black voters. No one seems intimidated except the flag bedecked coal roller.
If you haven't voted already. Get to it. Know your rights. Be cool. Get on the social media if you see something that looks Trumpish. If you see Antifa, the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda or Sleepy Joe trying to stop you from voting for Trump call these #saclu.org/sites/default/…
The secret of GOPs success is that they know their women constituents. They know women fall into two categories: Eastern European escorts or slaving over a hot stove. rawstory.com/2020/11/lindse…
There are rumors that the only time Lindsay has been near a vagina was when he was born. But that is just malicious political gossip.
...and I say malicious political gossip, because Lindsay could have been born C-section which would eliminate the chance encounter.

Alumni like Lev Parnas at least have a post cult, sense of humor
@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.
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…
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. "
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…
