Here's a recent article that covers, in a condensed form, much of what I have written about Michael and Barbara Ledeen.

The authors claim to have "uncovered" the "Israeli Angle."

I wrote a thread about the Israeli angle back in 2018.

3\

I don't agree with their final paragraph.

McMaster took over the NSC a month into the Trump presidency and then cleaned house of those who could be categorized as "hard-line Israel supporters" almost immediately. Image
4\

And even when Flynn was in Trump's inner circle, Flynn's interviews with the Mueller's team reveal that he was hesitant to buy into the Ledeens' conspiracy theories. Image
5\

To their credit the Ledeens have been proven right about the DOJ and the FBI: both agencies are worthless.

Unfortunately, the Ledeens employed tactics that were aggressive to the point of being self-defeating.

6\

"Machiavelli meets the Three Stooges" is a funny line, I have to admit. It's accurate in a lot of ways, but the author doesn't prove that the Ledeens were part of the "Trump camp."

The Ledeens are pretty much the textbook definition of "rogue operators."

I expect there are more Ledeen hijinks that have yet to be revealed.

MY ORANGE AND TEAL NIGHTMARE

Everywhere I turn I see Orange & Teal. After you read this thread, you will too.

⚠️ You have been warned. ⚠️ Image
2\

It’s impossible to watch any form of media these days without being assaulted by oranges and teals: movies, television shows, posters, book covers, screensavers, advertising.

There is no escape. ImageImageImageImage
3\

Why are Orange and Teal all the rage?

They are complimentary colors, opposite each other on the color wheel. Image

Heath Ledger’s Joker is one of the greatest movie villains ever.

How did he bring to life such an unforgettable character?

And was it worth the price?
2\

By all indications, Ledger’s upbringing was privileged and his family loving. He was born into a prominent family in Perth, Australia.

The Sir Frank Ledger Charitable Trust is named after his great-grandfather.
3\

His father was a race car driver who started his own engineering firm.

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.

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

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."

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.
