Lots of new reporting here for #FailedFuckeryFriday: “One quick transfer could be explained, but not three from different companies, all under the effective control or influence of one individual.” #MakePrinceFamousWeek2021 theintercept.com/2021/02/26/eri…
"Attorney General Bill Barr’s treatment of Erik Prince raises serious questions about preferential treatment for Trump’s allies in Department of Justice investigations" citizensforethics.org/reports-invest…
When you be all secret mercenary and shit on your devices but everyone be snickering about misspelling the Mel Gibson's character name in Air America beta.documentcloud.org/documents/2049…
There is a creepy vibe about bad movies, teenage action powerpoints, wartoys, Opus, Knights of Malta, Mel Gibson and getting crucified in this misadventure. Gibson even stayed at Prince's villa in Abu Dhabi.
An Australian pilot teams up with a wacky American to do illegal secret aviation stuff in a dirty war. Hilarity ensues.
Meanwhile at IDEX the UAE loves them some loitering munitions using Artificial Intelligence and flying suicide bombs to kill strangers....and oh look a converted Air Tractor. But not Erik's
Today is the deadline for U.S. citizen Haftar to respond to law suits filed by his victims in a US court. The article makes it clear that Prince and the UAE enabled Haftar and many Libyans were murdered for no good reason. Jared Kushner is up next. fhhfirm.com/fhh-helps-file…
Three U.S. citizens: Jared Kushner, Erik Prince and Khalifa Haftar, conspiring to deprive civilians of their human rights. Four nations, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and Israel conspiring to reshape the region with "strong men" #PiecesInOurTime #AbrahamAccords libyadesk.com/articles/the-p…
Jared? Yes Jared was given a UAE-based slush fund to pay people like Prince and Haftar. A story that is just meticulously investigated. America knew a brokeass slumlord from a criminal family, looking for grift was going to get into trouble at some point. nytimes.com/2018/12/08/wor…
These bad actors are just a small part of the UAE ongoing attempts to frack and cripple nations like Libya, Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Ethiopia and more. An ambitious, duplicitous and violent international campaign to protect their family business. aa.com.tr/en/middle-east…
But this is all exotic and foreign right? Nope. Who should care about the idea of foreign nations and rogue actors "fracking" countries for their benefit? We should. This from the head of security for the Capitol:
Public Citizen is suing CENTCOM to hand over all communications with Erik Prince going back to June 1, 2017. courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Why is that lawsuit relevant? In 2017 many of the components pitched in Erik's Afghanistan mercenary plan are identical to the Libya plan. Same people too. Prince Proxy L6/Christiaan Durrant also made a separate aviation proposal. #FailedFuckeryFriday
To avoid detection, Prince used CryptoHeaven, then Wickr, and for the last month has been on Threema. I doubt Jared was dumb enough to keep his texts but then again, maybe he is. Nader kept kiddie porn on his iPHone 7. Jared's iPhone was hacked in Jan 2018 citizensforethics.org/news/press-rel…
The Iranians finally show up for #FailedFuckeryFriday and what do they do? Elevate the comedy caper into a well oiled conspiracy " an elite mercenary outfit that called itself Opus Capital Asset Limited FZE" farsnews.ir/en/news/139912…’s-Gen-Hafar
Do-looping @WendySiegelman and some Malta investigators @bugdavem
drilling down and proving that Erik controls the shares of PBM (Blackwater) but when caught after the mercenary fail, tried to cut and run but was frozen from doing so.
The sad thing is Blackwater Beef, one of Erik's legitimate business, that everyone was rooting for....failed. blackwaterbeef.com
a wonk speculates that China was behind Opus. No it was the UAE. But that's gotta be awkward being a Chicom employee, hustling the Russians, working for the UAE, backstopping an American warlord working directly against US interests in Libya. worldpoliticsreview.com/articles/29453…

"Years later, his CIA ties appear to remain active. When Hifter spoke with Trump in 2019 during his latest assault on the Libyan capital, U.S. officials said, it was the CIA that arranged and put through the call?" Sourcing? washingtonpost.com/world/interact…
April 7. Pompeo condemns Haftar. Bolton calls Haftar to support him, then April 12 2019, Trump calls Haftar. This would literally mean the Agency was working against the State Dept but I think it means more. The Opus Powerpoint is dated April 9, 2019 businessinsider.com/trump-contradi…
On April 14, 2019 Haftar met with Sisi but before that with others at the Sofitel hotel and at Haftar's home. reuters.com/article/us-egy…

We live in the dark ages. A time where "Mission: Impossible 7" and "Top Gun: Maverick" are actually the same guy, in the same movie, just older, doing the same stuff he did when he was younger but better. We have been watching the same movie for 3 decades. foxnews.com/entertainment/…

In my unscientific opinion and observations from my recent worldwide travels, Covid has been brutal on the cost of food, housing and the staples of basic survival. Prices always go up. Prices...and taxes will continue to climb in the near future. cnbc.com/2019/05/16/how…
I have been on both sides of this equation. It is getting harder for more Americans to have a decent life, let alone attain the higher mobility "dream" education, family, job, home, car etc without incurring serious debt. The wealthy don't have that worry. inequality.org/facts/wealth-i…
