The media is starting to do the math on contractors
Bancroft Global Development works in conflict zones as a nonprofit, but Bancroft Global Investments — a separate legal entity...has made entrepreneurial investments in Somalia and become one of the country’s largest real estate investors and developers. militarytimes.com/news/your-army…
Those who have read my books or seen my documentaries know, I am not anti-contractor. I just think we need to take a pragmatic view of the game of "hide the pickle" that our government does to bullshit the public on force numbers. amazon.com/Licensed-Kill-…
Mike Stock and other contractors see the "frontier" investment market as being linked to security and investment. But there are risks. foreignpolicy.com/2015/01/22/del…

Bullshit shoveler Tucker Carlson finally calls bullshit on Troll/Lawyer Sidney Powell. Why not just come clean and tell us why you promoted these pitchmen and carny workers for almost half a decade? nytimes.com/2020/11/20/us/…
He and the other TrollTainment FauxNewsAnchors at Fox need to be roasted to a fine crispyness. Image
And anyone who poses as a lawyer while knowingly and maliciously firehosing bullshit to the public via the media need to be held accountable.

Trump talkin' bout a revolution? Roof Koreans will save us. Image
Despite all the drama I have not seen any interest in keeping the Mango Mussolini in power. Twitter is going to cut him off. His hairdresser has abandoned him. All that's left is the hamberder overdose attempt and Tammy Faye tears. newyorker.com/news/our-colum…
Oh wait... Angels are being released right now. Everybody dance now.

"unprecedented subversion of democracy" Donald must be making those beautiful phone calls again.

"exhausting the enemy instead of engaging them"

Like I said we have two more months of sedition from inside the white house and then god knows how many more from outside. #LockHimUp
Imagine the FBI investigating Rudy and others around Trump while they are in the process of breaking the law.

America passed the ‘‘Libya Stabilization Act’ a bill against countries who try to overthrow other nations. This might get awkward. docs.house.gov/billsthisweek/…
like awkward, awkward.
like so awkward America would be hiring a dude who works for the UAE to overthrow legitimate nations while we work against the same people trying to overthrow legitimate nations. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

"pernicious delegitimization" is Big Mike's phrase of the day. Oh wait, he was spoon-fed that by guess who? jewishweek.timesofisrael.com/the-pernicious…
Big Mike has his rapture rap on full send. He is in not in Israel but "Judea & Samaria." aka the Occupied West Bank aka not Israel. Something Pompeo is promoting outside of international laws. But hey, he believes the world will end soon anyways. haaretz.com/israel-news/.p… hg

The "optics" and "narrative" of this constant attempt to legitimize illegitimate actions based on religion and politics are insidious or are they pernicious? #deleterious #inimical english.stackexchange.com/questions/2599…

America has troops overseas in 160 nations to project power. The U.S. Navy, Air Force, Army and Special Operations can reach into any corner of the world to protect our interests. Trump's desperate and rushed focus on UAE, KSA and Israel strategic interests is extremely unusual.
US has a very disciplined, very large but very risk adverse, military. More U.S. troops die in accidents than combat. We typically train, equip and support local troops who are dying in the hundreds every month in places like Afghanistan. cnn.com/2019/06/06/pol…
The U.S. is normally a stable partner subject to numerous laws and agreements. But Trump is arming and encouraging family businesses and nations with extraordinary self interest. theintercept.com/2018/08/01/rex…
