More info on the division of Africa by outside player. In this case the "Strong Man" strategy by the UAE and Saudi Arabia to prevent another Arab Spring. theafricareport.com/64701/with-lib…
And when the U.S. disengages from foreign policy or allows the UAE/KSA to hire incompetent for-profit players we and our partners end up with a geopolitical mess. al-monitor.com/pulse/original…
For example if not having a functioning government is a criteria then Somalia is back to being a failed state thanks to the UAE supporting regions players in the north and south while undermining the central government. aljazeera.com/news/2021/2/10…
Over the last four years the previous administration allowed micro players to exploit divisions and refused to send clear messages to global players like Russia...while attacking China to our own detriment. Yes... our foreign policy is a mess. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
...so bad that the President supported a disgraced contractor who works for Communist China to get paid by the UAE via Jared to hire foreign mercenaries to overthrow a US backed government and then double and triple dipped hiring his own proxy companies. theintercept.com/2020/04/13/eri…
But wait there's more. This guy sent his Aussie minion via one of my ex-SF friends to pitch the idea that the army of Towhead would displace the Russians in Libya while his boss sucked up to them. According to Wagner they are not amused at his antics. Bad shit is going down.

Seth's internet panties are twisted because a journo wrote a hit piece. He is a lawyer, call the owner not the lackey. I had a bizarre hit piece by DW and I called the board of directors who then immediately acted. The DW reporters "stood by their source" but never contacted me
Smear pieces are a reality because they can get away with most of them. Here is one by three journos that work for the New York Post. Placed to coincide with a lawsuit linked to a failed Erik Prince project when Reno wouldn't shit money. nypost.com/2019/01/07/cou…
Here is another silly smear piece linked to a contentious meeting I had with Dorian Barak and Erik Prince. Again not Wiener laptop or Hunter Biden porn level quality but an example of how the internet works. alekboyd.blogspot.com/2013/05/credib…
YouTube well intentioned attempt to show the world on my birthday. Ridley stole Rick Smolan's "Day in the Life' jam and called it "Life in a Day" .
Smolan had a small industry based on cranking coffee table books called Day in a Life" inc.com/daniel-wolfman…
for many years the ultimate ego stroke was a vanity coffee table book that you would pay for and use a promotional item. Now books are just those things you see in the background of blurry zoom calls. architecturaldigest.com/story/should-y…
"Less than one percent of Americans do what you do: put yourself on the line for the rest of the 99 percent of the Americans you represent."
The actual number of active duty is 1.3 million which is less than one half of 1 percent of the U.S. population. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…
The number of active duty troops could expand with just under half a million national guard members. In active theaters like Centcom there are 1.5 contractors to each military member. America also have a vast military industrial complex. csis.org/analysis/us-mi…
If you add "Homeland Defense", US-based contractors, and the supply and service system it becomes increasingly larger. Here are 2018 numbers: washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
Bin Laden motivated al Qaeda with rhetoric and false outrage: "Dr Evan Lawrence... told Sky News a parallel could be drawn between the structure and organisation of the pro-Trump groups and terrorist organisations due to how they organised online." news.sky.com/story/how-were…
Radicalization: Search for group-based identity; ideological appeal; Real or perceived exclusion, grievance, or cultural threat, the potential for economic gain or long-term economic stability, prospects of fame, glory, or respect; and social networks. .un.org/sexualviolence…
Those of us who have spent time inside and on the ground with terrorist groups understand the rhetoric and motivation tools perfectly. The president of a nation invented a fake terrorist group and a fake crisis to justify terrorist acts by his followers. journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.117…
Secret recordings, bank accounts, extortion, texts, back room discussions and proxy deals. Its not just Rudy that has to worry. time.com/5937491/rudy-g…
The corruption began in 2015 with George Nader who consorted with Prince, Broidy, Kushner, Bannon and many others to inject corrupt ideas/bribes into the previous administration. Once the UAE/KSA/Israel had their hooks in, hundreds of bizarre deals flowed. thebulwark.com/maga-grift-goe…
While Kushner, Broidy and Prince milked the Middle East, Rudy and crew were sent to the Ukraine to invent kompromat on the Bidens. Their Weiner weaksauce laptop scandal rehash was punted to Bannon and Guo. #FuckeryFailFestcnn.com/2021/02/10/pol…
