Dmytro Vasylovych Firtash is a Ukrainian vassal of Putin's gas plan and the engine at the center of the Rudy/Don/Lev/Victoria/Joe allegations. Its a story that has a timeline and a spider web of TrumPeople who were greased to keep him out of U.S. courts. nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
The idea was to put a Putin-friendly middleman between Russian state gas exports and the Ukrainian market. A simple money engine and leverage...but that back door to Semyon Mogilevich.....whoops fpri.org/article/2019/1…
In a scene out of the Godfather Firtash approached Mogilevich for permission to start businesses. The man Firtash is telling this story to is William Taylor...." the well spoken ambo to Ukraine who Trump fired.
Not a secret who Firtash or Mogilevich is, or what they do...or who they work for....yet Rudy and the clown car took the cash. but wanted to politicize their relationship against now President Biden. Just like Putin wants. Which makes this case important. theguardian.com/world/us-embas…
So how did an extradition case for a well heeled businessman turn into a disinformation campaign against Biden. Who would have the power to drop or slow roll the case and benefit from Biden's embarrassment? There is only one correct answer. Let's do this. businessinsider.com/lev-parnas-wil…

The pith helmeted colonialist in me wonders if these would have survived local looting or destruction but then the 3D metal printer/machinist/designer in me says, fuck it lets make more and sell them in the gift shop. cnn.com/style/article/…
The 1897 Benin Punitive Expedition was actually carried out by the British and often is interpreted through the art looted for the British Museum. But the raid ended the cruel regime of the Oba and is worth a read: beninexpedition120yearson.weebly.com/uploads/1/5/0/…
I would argue that post 1870, the influx of looted/purchased African art changed the world by inspiring cubism, fauvism, modernism, expressionism and more. Everything from Art to Jazz to Philosophy have some linkage to the art that filled European museums.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/aima/h…
Now that we know from the FBI that the black stuff oozing out of Rudy's head may have been Russian influence, we need to take a closer look at other greasy spots.
Erik Prince flew all the way to the Seychelles to meet a Russian asset and bumped into Jared's proxy meeting the same asset. Then Rohrbacher and Behrends brought spies to DC and Trump tower. How did Steve become the hero in this tale? theguardian.com/us-news/2018/j…
Remember Trump's "other" lawyer? Michael Cohen, while under house arrest is doing interviews and helping Rudy understand what life is like under the bus. msnbc.com/the-beat-with-…

C'mon someday whip up a GIF showing Lev Parnas, The Vindman twins, Fiona Hill, and all the Ukraine whistleblowers doing the happy dance. reuters.com/article/rpb-ar…
If you want to understand America's long dance with Afghanistan you should go back to this June 16, 1986 meeting between Afghan leaders and Ronald Reagan in the White House. Reagan had invented "freedom fighters" from Angola to Libya to Laos to Nicarauga
The origins of these rebel go back to the 1985 "Jamboree in Jamba" at Savimbi training base in Angola. The meeting was primarily funded by former Rite Aid President Lewis Lehrman and organized by anti-Communist activists Jack Abramoff and Jack Wheeler. motherjones.com/politics/2005/…
The "Contras" were not only Dewey Clarridge/Olly North/Robert Owen managed militias but also include Khalifa Haftar who pretended to be an army in exile working from prison in N'Djamena, Chad. These men turned out to hired murderers of their own people.
