Artist Billy Tucci drew and wrote a story about an American/Asian brigade sent to Bastogne to rescue embattled US troops. Then he added SGT Rock. But he fell in love with the real story about men who risked it all.
This is why I wanted to work with Billy for my graphic novel. Respect. nvcfoundation.org/newsletter/200…
Real people doing real things even if they are not the stereotypes we created. Roll Hard (True Stories from "licensed to kill, Hired guns in the war on terror") amazon.com/dp/1940418003/…
Sometimes we are embarrassed by what we are told to believe and are enlightened by what people actually did. Seek out the truth tellers. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/442nd_Inf…

The govt of Mozambique kicked out journalist Tom Bowker for reporting and is clamming up about the massacre in Palma. When the people involved tell their story there will be anger and questions about the failure to provide the most basic security. zitamar.com/palma-hotel-es…
Jasmine covers events in Cabo Delgado and provides data for ACLED. She provides a few insights and a disturbing photo from a help of trapped people asking for help from a violent group intent on deliberate slaughter.
The only reporting is coming from people trapped and observations by the mercenary pilots flying various rotary wing aircraft. After four years of failed govt and mercenary operations, the govt of Mozambique has just created the worst case scenario.

Media on media violence. Joe has been mopping up the results of four years of vandalism and neglect. He even exceeded his promiese to keep Americans alive. Lets hope he has some to time to Defund Fuckery washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
Sleepy Joe is doing exactly what America needs. Keeping the shiny side up and the greasy side down. I expect Florida Man to issue an edict from the fetid mildew and aqua velva tinged swamps declaring a national disaster. Oh and a backyard sermon from the mount from Jr.
meanwhile in Reality World, that old TV failed Casino guy who used to be presidents might catch a bad case of RICO. businessinsider.com/trump-organiza…

Latest from the fighting in Palma, Cabo Delgado. Apparently Ukrainian mercenary pilots just hit a column of Moz soldiers by mistake and despite getting caught dropping WMDs on civilians, Dyck is re-upping for another three months. #Clusterfuck? theguardian.com/world/2021/mar…
Older but good sitrep. If a 100 jihadis can move shoot, communicate, rob banks and take hostages, that's impressive. So we have an asymmetric conflict that is funded by control over assets and funding...with not much of a shit given for the locals. neptunep2pgroup.com/incident-alert…
Uh oh Early reports are saying that a Ukrainian mercenary in the Moz government Mi-24 shot down a FADM Mi-17. Also Dyck is not paying his pilots so the Mercenary Shit Show continues.

I am intrigued that Jared has a charity that grifts donors supporting the need to fund lawsuits while the main ex-lawyer now insists that "no reasonable person" would believe their premise that the election was stolen in those lawsuits. Is that a con FBI? businessinsider.com/jared-kushner-…
But wait...there are "real" scammers raising money for fake cons, but not connected to the original grift. Can we get a white board and map this out? politico.com/news/2021/03/1…
Not to be confused with the real scam family PAC with arm twister Corey Lewandowski running the hustle for Florida Man and the Banjo Brigade. Part of the hustle is to sell the don's blessing for GOP candidates with no guarantees. Can Rudy get a taste? foxnews.com/politics/new-t…

An optimistic concept that mercenary groups are subject to laws. An idea that has bled into politics. Unless laws are actually enforced, there are no laws. lawfareblog.com/what-laws-cons…
Like America's ultimate mercenary, enforcement of for profit groups might come down to "Hey....did you pay your taxes?" vanityfair.com/news/2021/03/d…
The last four years have seen bizarre and rogue mercenary operations conducted by players who keep assets off shore and use proxies to hide their financial involvement. theintercept.com/2020/04/13/eri…
