A year ago: "The crown prince brought a nice gift – four female camels that produce an unusual abundance of milk, perhaps symbolic of the generous udders of the UAE country that has contributed billions of dollars to the Egyptian economy." haaretz.com/middle-east-ne…
this year: Egypt is run by a dictator installed by another dictator to protect their control over a poor and young population in which 52.23 % of Egypt's population is under the age of 25. #ArabSpringy defensenews.com/training-sim/2…
The UAE has chosen to militarize and install strong men rulers who in turn use the military to subsidize economies who are racing to socialize services and develop their economies. This arab dictator sugar daddy principal requires a lot of oil income. dailysabah.com/world/mid-east…
We have seen what has happened in Libya and Yemen as terrified family businesses try to kill dissent. Militarizing North Africa and the Middle East from Morocco to Palestine is going to create a big bang when the oil money runs out. unicef.org/mena/reports/m…
In addition to the UAE, Turkey, Russia, China and the U.S. all have master plans for Africa. Add to this each African nation's self interest and regional alliances along with this influx of UAE weapons, we should be seeing more ugly wars next year. reliefweb.int/report/world/c…

Trump sent 269 billion of our tax money back to 153 million Americans this year. Mostly to those who made < $75K a year. A total of 651 American billionaires increased their wealth by over $1 trillion in 2020. Commies and Libertarians begin arguing now. inequality.org/great-divide/u…
I am a Anarchist/Libertarian/Lumberjack in my thinking, but this year we saw the need for 1) a national health response 2)a safety net for those most vulnerable and 3) depoliticizing and deprofiting rapid disaster response. Add one incompetent, venal president and boom..disaster.
We spend billions on watching for nukes, Mexicans who steal our jobs on welfare, police and military but we don't view a virus as a national threat greater than al Qaeda, ISIS, hackers, Russia, China and Trump's tax's combined? 18M affected, 326K dead, 3.5k a day #Trumpageddon

Damn cheap PR for the mustache brigade. apple.news/A4-hVJ7sZScW6U…
Even after the historic Movember Accords. Mustache haters abound. ew.com/tv/mandalorian…
Rooted deeply in developing nations, lumberjacks, porn stars and 70's era hockey players the silent but deep shame directed to mustache owners must be erased. Education seems to be the key. wired.com/story/facial-h…

Early on I tried to help the WSJ since I knew someone who knew Danny's kidnapper and could talk to him. They trained in the camps together and were friends. The WSJ blew me off. Later I had the privilege of meeting and helping Danny's parents. Now this. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8…
All families of murder victims have left are memories, a hollow anger, a hope that justice will be done. The Trump Paying His Bills Pardon will go down in history as perhaps some of the cruelest pardons ever made. nbcnews.com/news/world/tru…
Trump made these four pardons (and of other war criminals) out of a position of weakness, not strength. Yes Prince is getting what he wanted, as we shall see in the months ahead, but we paid the price, not Trump. esquire.com/news-politics/…

Hang on, we are not at the bottom of the barrel yet. #Pardonpalooza politico.com/news/2020/12/2…
Quid pro Quo. All TrumpCrimes happen in plain sight.
Remember we still have serial kiddy fiddlers, tandoori bone saw murderers, incompetent mercenaries, and the Donald still to come.

Looks like Trump is being pitched immunity for silence from MBS and Haftar on Erik Prince and Jared. Too late Donald. Cat is out of the bag and documents locked down. #WhoWillBeJaredsJailBitch? africaintelligence.com/north-africa_d…
"Brinkema...wants to determine whether his Libyan National Army (LNA) was acting under the orders of any political authority during the recapture of Benghazi in 2014 and during the siege of Tripoli in 2019" David Schenker will appear before Jan 4.
Prince had Haftar flown around just before he was made head of the LNA. Jared paid Prince and Haftar millions of dollars of MBz money to kill people in Tripoli. Yeah its a big deal.
