@daniel_bilar Here's one from 1995. It refers to a silo-based ICBM and other programs. There was NO mainstream media or political interest in this at the time - to raise it was to be accused of opposing "Russian reform" and - yes - of being a "Russophobe." jmichaelwaller.com/wp-content/upl…
@daniel_bilar I wrote this one for Reader's Digest in 1996. This one refers to Topol-M. The Clinton State Department and DoD got very upset - not at the Kremlin, but at me. jmichaelwaller.com/wp-content/upl…
@daniel_bilar More on US funding of the Topol-M and other systems in 1998. (Separately: A tranche of IMF cash was used to pay for construction of the first Borei-class submarine at that same period.) jmichaelwaller.com/1998/12/15/fro…
@daniel_bilar More horror stories, Wall Street Journal, 1996. Senator Joe Biden supported all of this. So did Mitch McConnell. jmichaelwaller.com/wp-content/upl…
@daniel_bilar 1999: Government Accountability Office was on it but only Senator Jesse Helms cared. Al Gore, who ran Clinton's Russia policy with Strobe Talbott, was going full-throttle to fund all kinds of Russian nuclear programs. jmichaelwaller.com/wp-content/upl…
@daniel_bilar These and other bipartisan aid programs to Russia built the KGB gangster-state that would beget Vladimir Putin. It was predictable at the time to the few who wanted to see. jmichaelwaller.com/1997/01/10/del…

Now would be a good time for lawmakers to ask FBI Director Wray about the Bureau’s metrics in assessing and responding to left-wing violence vs right-wing violence.
Those metrics would show how politically biased the FBI has become, and how dangerous this is not merely to public confidence in the Bureau, but to the safety of our country.
Lawmakers should ask the FBI how it reacted to protests and violence from the Left and from the Right. FBI should describe the investigative techniques used, what internal classifications the FBI assigned to its investigations (domestic terrorism, criminal, etc.)...

The @CapitolPolice Inspector General has made devastating findings about the intelligence capabilities of the force.

These findings matter, not only to protect the Capitol, but because the progs are using the Jan 6 attack as an excuse to build a huge domestic spying capability.
2) @CapitolPolice IG: "We also identified intelligence related deficiencies with the Department’s organizational structure, training, professional standards, internal controls, and capability to effectively collect, process, and disseminate intelligence information.”
3) "Despite the inspector general’s findings, Capitol Police officials have defended their intelligence operations at public hearings," @rollcall reports. Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman oversaw the Intelligence & Interagency Coordination Division. She is inept and has to go.

Those of us who reported this at the time were called liars, seditionists, and traitors. @FDRLST thefederalist.com/2021/01/14/i-s…
1) Excerpts from my eyewitness account from the West Front of the Capitol on January 6, published in @FDRLST on January 14. They comport with many of the @CapitolPolice IG's findings:

"Capitol Police anti-riot unit prepared early, but presence was light."
2) "When we crossed First Street NW to enter the Capitol grounds where the Capitol Police had jurisdiction, I noticed no police at all."

"that appearance of low threat level made no sense. . . .  no Capitol Police appeared anywhere from what we could see . . . ."

Georgetown University "educates" more of our diplomats, intelligence officers and analysts, and other national security professionals than just about any place around. Here's a look at who's teaching them. quillette.com/2021/04/09/geo…
To my Chinese friends - I didn't have space to include the fact that @Georgetown is heavily dependent on cash from Chinese Communist Party-related sources.
Georgetown Law Professor Lama Abu Odeh, of the "Gender Justice Initiative," makes important comments in her "Georgetown's Cultural Revolution" article.

Contemplate how terrible things are at @Georgetown when people like Professor Odeh speak out. genderjustice.georgetown.edu/lama-abu-odeh/#

Six years ago, I proposed that Ukraine develop a secret weapon against Russian attack: The ability to take the political & psychological fight into Putin's home turf.

The Obama administration rejected the idea. Ukraine considered it but rejected it also. kyivpost.com/article/opinio…
1) Excerpts from 2015 Kyiv Post article: "Like no other country, non-aligned Ukraine has an untapped capability to defend itself against Russian aggression – with or without support from the West.

"It’s an old idea that doesn’t require guns or bombs."
2) "All that it needs is the will to harness the aggressor’s internal vulnerabilities. While Russia is militarily far stronger than Ukraine, it shows signs of much greater weakness inside its borders."

FBI Assistant Director Jill Sanborn confirms that the FBI's findings "definitely" and "absolutely" agree with what I said in the January 14 @FDRLST article about the Capitol attack.

@SenRonJohnson read from my article again at length. (starts at 5:08) rumble.com/vebmnn-hsgac-h…
Does anybody think that trash journalists like @ChrisCillizza, @AaronBlake, @Haley_Victory, @mikedebonis, @jeremymbarr and the rest will make a correction?
I never heard of WaPo blogger @AaronBlake before he fabricated his story in late February, but he continues pushing his falsehoods almost a week later.
