"The story of mercenary Israeli intelligence firm Black Cube, which threatened Obama officials with Trump's approval, has been almost entirely dropped -- even though one of the officials they threatened is now up for a Biden admin role." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"GOP Senators are obsessed with Colin Kahl's tweets on politics, but the tweets everyone should be looking at are the ones where he describes being targeted by Black Cube -- a terrifying situation that was never resolved."

Thread:
"The threats to Kahl and Ben Rhodes were so severe that they prompted an investigation into Black Cube by Elijah Cummings in 2018. How did that turn out? Cummings abruptly died in 2019 and Congress dropped the inquiry."

Cummings:

"You may be thinking 'Wow, that's incredibly horrifying, we have a transnational intel operation threatening US officials, clearly our officials must have investigated that one. Nope! No one in Congress will touch Black Cube." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"What Black Cube did is the kind of investigation that the Biden administration should pick up, but I see no sign that they will do that. Maybe if Netanyahu is out as PM in Israel, things will change." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"For now, Black Cube's attack on US officials is in the category of dropped major stories along with Brett Kavanaugh's debt, the Epstein/Maxwell operation, the death of Peter Smith, and pretty much everything Erik Prince has ever done." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…

"In Missouri, we voted for progressive policies. Raise min wage. Protect labor unions. Ban dark money. Republicans and independents voted for these initiatives too, not just Dems. And then the MO GOP state legislature just shut them down." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"The Missouri state legislature made it impossible for Missourians to move forward, even though we got our shit together and voted. They just overrule our votes. And MO is the model of what will happen nationally if the GOP gains ground." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"The situation in MO is also a reminder to the Dem party that states like mine need help. We need money and support for good candidates. Instead we're blown off or told we deserve to die after every disaster caused by the leadership that overrules us." patreon.com/posts/why-does…

"We live in a growing corporate oligarch-driven power structure. Elon Musk drives space exploration. Jeff Bezos provides journalism jobs. Our economy and democracy should never be dependent on oligarchs being benevolent." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"The US is a far right country in how the power structure is skewed. We still deal with the fallout of Reagan and the lie of trickle-down economics. We're still dealing with the destruction of the Fairness Doctrine." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"As a result, you get the GOP voting against the Rescue Plan. A major party that could easily come back into power voting against this plan -- voting against their own constituents' welfare -- is a MASSIVE red flag." -- @AndreaChalupa on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…

"Trump was not an aberration, but a culmination. His rise and installation were made possible not only by illegal activity, but by the exploitation of American pain and injustice. Stopping a recurrence means mending structural flaws." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"One year ago, mainstream political campaigns were demanding a higher min wage, affordable healthcare, student debt relief, and an end to dependency on gas station dictatorships like Saudi Arabia and Russia. Then covid-19 came..." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…
"Covid-19 came, and the attempted coup came, and the violence came. It came over and over again, in waves of disease, in waves of desperation, in waves of deception that exhausted this country’s capacity to fight for itself." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/why-does…

Little Grand Canyon in southern Illinois ImageImageImageImage
This is an amazing hike not for the faint of heart. To get onto the canyon trail you have to grip the sides of a slick rock wall and climb down, hoping you don't slip and plunge to your death. Worth it though! ImageImageImageImage

Yes, this is unusual. But it’s unsurprising when the previous POTUS (aka Individual One), his indicted-and-pardoned team, and his criminal transnational backers still wield tremendous power — and other officials use any excuse possible to avoid holding them accountable.
Trump was not an aberration but a culmination of decades of corruption and elite criminal impunity. He rose through a dark network and exploited Americans' material pain. Dems have so far done little to alleviate either crisis, and worse, they show little interest in doing so.
If Dems and other officials do not hold the perperators of past admin crimes accountable *and* tackle the structural issues that made the US vulnerable to mafia state rule, all the Biden admin will be is a brief interlude between aspiring autocracy and entrenched autocracy.

"The filibuster gives the Democrats a way to avoid accountability for their own actions and leadership. As long as it take 60 votes to do anything in the Senate, they have an excuse." -- @AJentleson on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/kill-fil…
"'We need 60 votes' is the most common excuse the Dems use for things failing to get done. Removing the filibuster will take that excuse off the table. They won’t be able to say it’s the GOP’s fault." -- @AJentleson on @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/kill-fil…
"Getting rid of the fig leaf excuse of the filibuster will be very healthy for our democratic process because we will be able to see which representatives will actually stand up for the principles they claim to believe in." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/kill-fil…
