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…
here is the offending article. cjr.org/special_report…

"It isn’t just that these senators are putting the interests of a single man ahead of the interests of the nation; it’s also a tacit admission that the only constituents that many Republicans consider worth representing are their most partisan supporters."nytimes.com/2021/02/12/opi…
"Republican senators hoping for even a fig leaf to cover the cowardice of a vote to acquit had to have been disappointed. They were given no plausible excuse for failing to hold a dangerous man to account." washingtonpost.com/opinions/trump…
"The “boogaloo bois” cast the summer’s racial justice protests as a useful cover to kill law enforcement, and according to federal prosecutors in California, that was exactly what Steven Carrillo did." theintercept.com/2021/01/12/boo…

In 1924 The New York Times seemed like they were on top of this story.

Getting the story right is tough business. You don't want any perception bias interfering with hard facts. nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2…

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/…

The UAE continues to frack Africa. Since no one is interested in stopping them, they will continue. apnews.com/article/ethiop…
A good source of regional updates from Martin Plaut. martinplaut.com/2021/02/11/sit…
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…

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…
