Al Shabaab, which might be the most successful al Qaeda franchise, is getting ready to do some serious work in Somalia and Kenya. This is a video from a year ago before they attacked an upscale hotel...in the Westlands district of Nairobi. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nairobi_D…
Stupidly and perhaps with some sense of malice, Trump has publicly announced that he is removing all U.S troops from Somalia and shipping them to.....Kenya. I know General BoneSpurs said he would never tell the enemy what we were doing but he did. nytimes.com/2020/12/04/wor…
Also, a year ago. Al Shabaab attacked Manda Bay killing contractors. Yes we lost a CIA officer in Somalia but we have lost more Americans in Kenya. Also the move and timing are now globally known. Having done convoys in Somalia. It will not turn out well. theintercept.com/2020/02/27/afr…
Trump has flushed out a very large Africom budget to remove troops which then allows the CIA to contract drone, ISR, aviation, medevac and security with Title 50 money without bids or Biden oversight. This structure is what Erik Prince proposed in his Afghan proposal.
Despite what Scahill said back in 2014 the CIA sites are not secret. Many are colocated with DOD support. I used to sprint past the dummy the guards had set up in front of the "secret" prison to get to Villa Somalia every morning. thenation.com/article/archiv…
This Frankenstein Exit Strategy will roll out in January 2020 and dovetails with Trump's need to push warfare as a "for profit" venture to political donors. It truly is the culmination of Erik's many op eds and pitches. Oh but where's Erik? He has used proxies as he always has.

Tenet is easily the worst big budget film since Ishtar. It is incomprehensible and dumb. “It’s the film that’s meant to save theatres...The $800 million gross suggests that the film was produced for $400 million, including production and advertising" hindustantimes.com/hollywood/chri…
there is clueless black guy who was supposed to be Denzel who doesn't understand what is happening while all the other actors have long boring talking parts about things they can't tell us about and then they do bad SWAT moves while explosions go backwards and then roll credits.
The worst part...is I own it. Maybe I can reedit it and dub over the voices. I thought the Moscow Chechen theater rip off intro was pretty bad. Then it got worse.

I am waiting for the Keith Richards approved vaccine: A 77 year long, intense daily injection course of cigarettes, booze, parties, drugs, sex and rock 'n' roll.

Happy Birthday to the Geezer of Rock and Roll. faroutmagazine.co.uk/keith-richards…
I met Mick in the early 70's. They were all short little English fellas having a good time.
Ronnie is still going strong.

The first edition of Dangerous Places was actually a black cover, print on demand book. The first Fielding version had a surly Somali and sold over 140,000 copies. I of course insisted on updating it every few months. ebay.com/itm/WORLDS-MOS…

Google wants to know why.

and if your slavish clicking wasn't enough to fuel their bottom line. There is this. chromeunboxed.com/malicious-chro…

The Dutch also hacked Jared Kusher’s iPhone X. Between January 2018 to December 2019. I have the details. #ProveMeWrong vox.com/2020/12/16/221…
The Dutch have a tailored operations group that services both the civilian and military cyber commands. Folks might remember this story. They hacked the hackers in and watched in real time. Impressive. observer.com/2018/01/obama-…
It must be remembered that Jared was very much being hacked, investigated and wooed by Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and other nations. He was desperate for money, naive and arrogant about the ways of the world. Kushner was also greedy and transactional. nytimes.com/2018/12/08/wor…

This is a great story. TrumpCrook goes to the FBI to find crooks. Get crooked himself. Boom. #WhyDoenstBarrAnswerMyCalls? motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
One clue that someone might be in big trouble.
Should give shout out to @DavidCornDC and
@dfriedman33 for reminding us that the law trumps...bribery. I also encourage people to remember that tucked up under all criminality is George Nader, Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon and a cast of dozens. All waiting for the phone to ring.
