Now that we know Durham is focusing on Igor Danchenko and the Brookings Institute, I'm hoping we'll be hearing more about Clifford Gaddy.
2\

Gaddy was formerly the Brookings' lead expert on Russia and co-author of several books on Vladimir Putin with Fiona Hill.

Perhaps most importantly, he's Danchenko's American mentor.

Read more here:

3\

Gaddy suddenly retired from Brookings several years ago, coincidently (or not) when the Steele dossier was published.
4\

Gaddy co-authored a book on the petroleum industry in Russia last year. Or maybe earlier. It's difficult to tell.

The book is out-of-print and I can find no press from either author promoting the book.
5\

I would very much like to get my hands on a copy and compare it to the Steele dossier.

I'm confident in saying there are few westerners more capable of producing a believable inside-the-Kremlin document than Gaddy (literally what he did in his previous life).
6\

I suspect the main reason Gaddy always works with a co-author is that he can't promote books on his own.

If you've ever watched a C-SPAN interview with an author, the host always ask the author about his background.

Could you imagine how that interview would go:
7\

Brain Lamb: "Tell us about you background."

Gaddy: "Well, I deserted from the army in 1969. I later became a high-ranking member of the Lyndon LaRouche organization, and left after I became a suspect in the assassination of the Swedish Prime Minister."
8\

Gaddy is, unfortunately, completely off the radar of journalists, even the ones who have been critical of the Russia collusion narrative.

WHAT WERE STANLEY KUBRICK'S SOURCES FOR EYES WIDES SHUT?

"It’s a great huge game of chess that’s being played -- all over the world -- if this the world at all, you know."

-- Lewis Carroll

There was a time, years ago now, when I read every biography of Stanley Kubrick I could find in the library.

So it would be impossible for me to source every claim in this thread because I can’t tell you exactly where I learned the information.
3\

What fascinated me about Kubrick was the process he used to make movies. It always began with exhaustive research. He would devour numerous books, magazines and newspaper articles preparing for his next movie

THOUGHTS ON THE OCCULT AND THE WAY FORWARD

Several months again one of my followers replied that I didn’t really understand the occult. I found the response strange since I’ve never claimed to be an expert on the occult.

🤷‍♂️
2\

I suspect this person followed me after reading the thread I did on a certain hotel in London.

That thread did have some occult aspects to it, but such subjects are not my normal focus. Sorry to that person if he felt misled.

3\

That being said, I do believe that Spygate research actually is occult research in nature. Occult originally meant ‘hidden things.’

Only during the 17th century did the word begin to take on supernatural connotations.

In my thread on Clifford Gaddy, I relied heavily on the excellent book "Operation Chaos" by Matthew Sweet.

After weighing the different possibilities for explaining the mystery of Cliff Gaddy, Sweet leans towards Gaddy as a longtime CIA asset.

2\

But there are other possibilities, including one he didn’t mention.

Let's take a close look.

When discussing the gentrified world Gaddy grew up in, Sweet emphasized the prevailing racism of Ol’ Virginia.
3\

I think one element Sweet misses in discussing the Old South is the extreme Anglophilia, particularly of the upper class to which Gaddy belonged.

Sweet is British himself, therefore maybe he's less inclined to see the connection between the two.

As many of you know, I wrote Spygate:Origins series of thread that was probably 800 tweets in total, most of them dealing with Italy.

So I have an interest in the validity of this 'Italian Job' scenario.

I have my doubts.

Listen to this all the way to the end and note what she has to say about Gen Flynn.
3\

If Flynn and Gringrich, both close associates of the Ledeens at some point (maybe still are, don't know), won't touch this, then I'm highly skeptical.

BLIND ITEM

Congressman Top & Congressman Bottom

(This blind item is a 2012 post from Data Lounge.)

"Two Representatives from the same delegation took their "friendship" to the next level several months ago. Fellow GOP members were willing to ignore the obvious until...
2\

...Congressman Top sided with Congressman bottom in an intra-party battle (along with a lustful mentor they both share--who will never get in either's pants, no matter how hard he tries)."
3\

'If Congressman Bottom's opponent--who enjoys the support of most of his colleagues--loses, the story will spread faster than the Great Chicago Fire. Sucks for the Republicans, but at least the Democrats would be guaranteed to win two seats in the process!"

The mayor of Peoria is a real piece of work. He once had a man arrested for setting up a parody account on Twitter.

No joke
2\

In 2014, an anon set up an account with the handle @peoriamayor.

The official portrait of the mayor was used as the profile pic.
3\

Some of the tweets under the mayor’s name, Jim Ardis, were rather provocative. 😳
