Why humans can’t have nice things. What the internet is supposed to be vs what we actually use the internet for.
In the future we will be able to purchase things electronically.
In the future families will sing in convertibles while stuck in traffic.
In the future you will be able to call truck drivers in their truck.
Utopia or dystopia? Who will decide? Why can’t we use the tools we have to make things better?

I guess even Communist China has standards.
Let’s see if they get crazy ex girlfriend on each other. If you read the UN report on Libya, FSG was dragged into some major fuckery Image
One of the highlights is Prince selling the 4 million dollar FSG Thrushes for $10 (the other was sold for 10 Euros) and always working them back into his mercenary plans. BridgePorth was also mentioned multiple times as a cover company and owner of the PC 6 which went to Libya.

Part of the ISIS franchise process is to videotape gruesome murders of foreigners to get international attention. Asymmetric control of the narrative that works better than any government PR response.
It’s hard to imagine the kind of mind that would plan, direct, shoot edit and distribute these macabre snuff films but they do, to good effect to announce the franchise opening. Libya: cbsnews.com/video/new-isis…
iS is so satanic and warped in their visual perversions that even old school groups are freaked out. They came out with this stunt which grossed out the talibs. Murders who take pride in slaughtering civilians in macabre ways. english.alarabiya.net/News/middle-ea…

So Chad is the latest country being fracked by the UAE. Two UAE rebel groups are moving towards Faya Largeau (where Haftar was trounced in 1987) and challenging the southern govt again. al-monitor.com/originals/2021…
This is the second attempt but this one will be successful. It is almost deja vu when the Aouzou Strip was occupied by Qaddafi and Haftar faced the CIA and French backed Chadians. crisisgroup.org/africa/central…
Back in 1987 when Haftar was bounced in just 4 hours. Now he is on the winning side.

Haftar's sure doing a lot meetin' and greetin' videos these days. The days of the new UAE provided military gear ads are probably over. FYI all those nice gun trucks and weapons are being proliferated into the Sahel and beyond by out of work mercenaries. youtube.com/channel/UCsxo_…
oh and since we are on the topic of money laundering. What about the $85 million Kushner stroked him a check for in summer of 2018? And the $60M sent to Prince... any idea on when that pops up on his return? inkstickmedia.com/mercenaries-an…
In addition to the Janjaweed mercenaries heading home with weapons and gun trucks, there are border attacks in the west against the man who turfed Haftar out back in 1990. standardmedia.co.ke/world/article/…

Money "laundering" is a silly term. It's the effort to keep income and payments from governments who want to tax it. Diamonds, gold and some crypto facilitate this. But its more than that. What if the government is the crook? economist.com/finance-and-ec…
There are estimates that 22% of the world's income is "black market". That's a complete WAG. But the poorer the country the more likely that people avoid government scrutiny in their transactions. From 2012: freakonomics.com/2012/06/25/how…
Other sources insist that the black market is as big or bigger than the known or legal market. Insisting that it is a natural libertarian desire to keep the fruits of one's labor...or crimes. libertarianism.org/topics/black-m…
