British spy agency refuses to acknowledge its bases in Oman.

@GCHQ didn't want photos and locations of its Surveillance Sites in Oman in the public domain.

Well it's handy @declassifiedUK act in the public interest eh @OmanNewsAgency...

2/ Near Salahah in Oman, just where major sub sea cables come ashore, GCGQ have a facility called CLARINET.

They refuse to acknowledge or deny its existence or disclose Environment Impact Assessments as they're required to

It's coordinates:

17°01'57"N 54°15'39"E
3/ In Seeb, Oman at:

23°40'27"N 58°07'18"E,

GCHQ have a site called Overseas Processing Centre 1.

They again neither confirm nor deny its existence citing International Relations and National Security reasons.
4/ GCHQ's 3rd site on Oman, named TIMPANI, is on the northern section of the Island; Jazirat Umm al Ghanam.

This sticks out into the Straight of Hormuz and is off limits to everyone except those permitted by the Omani Regime.

That concludes today's lesson on @GCHQ's Omani sites
5/ READ everything you need to know about GCHQs Omani sites on @declassifiedUK.

They really don't want people knowing about this. REALLY DON'T....

6/ In 2014 following the @Snowden leaks, The Register revealed that BT, Codenamed: REMEDY, and Vodafone Cable/Cable & Wireless, Codenamed: GERONTIC is paid tens of millions by GCHQ to plan and install taps on undersea communications cables worldwide. theregister.com/2014/06/03/rev…

In all honesty this sounds like complete bullshit.

Trump will never go willingly and I can't see SDNY prosecutors accepting this either.

This is the danger of Social Media, blue ticks can post this with zero evidence and then just ignore it.
2/ There we go...

1) Cooper only cited a Facebook based news org in original post. Now it's "sources."
2) I don't see a journo revealing a source, especially if it's Stephen Miller.
3) With 610k followers it's really irresponsible to spread unverified reports like this.
3/ Also, on #WorldMentalHealthDay of all days, Cooper is spreading more anon source info from Google psychiatrists who've diagnosed Trump as Bipolar.

It's irresponsible, dangerous & unfair to people who are Bipolar.

This type of thing harms #BidenHarris2020 more than it helps.

Seems @BorisJohnson and the @Conservatives didn't want this picture of him with ex Express owner turned property developer Richard Desmond going around.

There's more than one to be fair....

Shame that......
Also seems relevant that Boris Johnson has had numerous dealings with Thorncliffe, the firm used by Phillip Desmond for the Tower Hamlets scheme.

They even wrote an article when he was running for Tory leader, complete with a with dream cabinet....

On the 14th June 2017, 72 people died in #Grenfell Tower.

3 years on and their families still don't have the full story, nor has anyone been held responsible for the death of their loved ones.

It's time for #JusticeForGrenfell 💚
2/ Mother and daughter Victoria King, 71, and Alexandra Atala, 40
