Flipped to the OANN channel to see how they're coping, and the presenter was eyebrowing about King Tut's Curse, citing all the same urban legends I heard in middle school. I have no fucking idea what her point was.
Now there's a boy presenter interviewing a crazy lady about vote fraud in PA.
You don't want to eat pot brownies and watch OANN, trust me—unless you want to wind up in ER with Stage-5 Panic Attacks.
Fox News is this year's pizza parlor in the anti-Trump conspiracy, if I understand OAN boy presenter right
OAN boy looks just like Ryder from my son's favorite cartoon last year.

Last @RadioWarNerd ep I read letter from Belarusian author Vladimir Kozlov ("USSR: Diary of a Perestroika Kid"). No neolib, Kozlov makes clear that Luk's continued rule extremely toxic, radicalizing youngs fast. Unsaid: longer Luk stays, more likely BY youngs go nationalist/NATO
Highly recommend Kozlov's documentary on the legendary Siberian punk scene of the 1980s, where Yegor Letov and Yanka came out of. (Fans of Adam Curtis might recognize them).

Re-reading this old OSS sabotage manual. US intelligence has trained large numbers of people to devise ways of sabotaging outcomes without getting caught—the more banal, the better. Some of these spies take their skills to the private intel contracting sector. #ShadowInc
"Always be profuse in your apologies. Frequently you can 'get away' with such acts under cover of pretending stupidity, ignorance, over-caution..."
"delay putting enemy calls through, give them wrong numbers, cut them off 'accidentally'..."
"Advocate 'caution.' Be 'reasonable' and urge your fellow-conferees to be 'reasonable' and avoid haste..." #MayorCheat
In 1975, Jesse Helms & the US far-right attacked President Ford for refusing to meet with Solzhenitsyn. Ford considered Solzhenitsyn to be a "horse's ass" & far-right crank.
Today, Buzzfeed is channeling old Jesse Helms to attack Sanders. Demented.
Somehow buzzfeed cites Solzhenitsyn's AFL-CIO speeches & Harvard speech—without describing the batshit contents: Solzhenitsyn denounced the US withdrawal from Vietnam War, detente, Hollywood movies, liberal media, even Angela Davis. Somehow Sanders is supposed to honor this.

In the 1950s, Britain herded Kenya's entire Kikuyu population — nearly 1.5 million people — into concentration camps & subjected them to savage torture, rape & terror.
"There was 'forced sodomy with broken bottles and vermin and snakes and just horrific, horrific things'"—Caroline Elkins, one of the rare brave US academics. Her book Imperial Reckoning broke 50 yrs silence about Britain's Gulag archipelago in Kenya npr.org/2013/06/09/189…
"we have plenty of evidence that the systematized violence that happened in Kenya was honed and brought throughout the empire, from Palestine to Malaya to Kenya to Cyprus to Aden to Northern Ireland."
The three leading DC advocates for Venezuela regime-change happen to be Koch Cartel's three stooges: Rubio, Pence, Pompeo.

As @yashalevine wrote, for many years chavismo socialism fattened up Koch Cartel profits. A portion of those profits were invested in the careers of anti-socialist hacks like Rubio, Pence, Pompeo + their anti-socialist libertarian think-tank toadies exiledonline.com/bond-markets-p…
