We explored this earlier nd decided that it was a typo. but.... $60.75? for my favorite book in hard cover? The Chechnya chapter is worth it :))

What the hell?
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…
When I sold Fielding's (Microsoft used it to create Expedia) Harper Collins put DP on the New York Times best seller list. That was 2003. Kathy Huck edited it into actual english. I was busy hitting wars every four weeks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_World…
By then I was the the guy who made videos on Discovery with disclaimers. Kudos to them for showing the brutal reality of war.
I am constantly surprised at the number of men and women who reach out to me and tell them how my book changed or redirected their lives. To them I am honored and grateful.

“Ms. Powell accused other Trump advisers of being quitters, according to the people briefed.
But the idea that Mr. Trump would try to install Ms. Powell in a position to investigate the outcome sent shock waves through the president’s circle.”

Donald, just pack your shit and don't let Jared steal the lightbulbs. cnbc.com/2020/12/19/tru…
You probably know that we use our consulates and embassies to spy and gather information. Thanks Donald. thedailybeast.com/state-departme…
And you also know that America spends more than any other nation on surveillance, spies, espionage and monitoring. Ooops how did those pesky Russians fool us...again? nytimes.com/2020/12/16/us/…

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 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…
