Signs that perp-walk season is nigh. When The New York Times, Recode and NBC all run the same story about the Donald's Day of Fabulous Failed Fuckery. FBI and House also gearing up for the big day. Stone, Jones, Alexander now shopping for clean underwear. thecrimereport.org/2021/06/16/fbi…
TroompaLoompas were played. Starting with ASOG pretending to be up in the voting machine Kool Aid. and then rich folk creating faux outrage groups for black folk to stir up white folk to attack Trump's hand picked ultra white Veep. How stupid is that? cnbc.com/2021/01/11/cap…
The best part was when OrangeDolf Twitler told his MAGA Brown Shirts that he was going to march to the capitol with them... and then fucked off in his limo to watch it on TV. news.yahoo.com/trump-said-wal…
Stop me if you heard this one too. The right now believes that the government was behind the riots and is trying to cover it up by not investigating. Not sure if Trump is still President in this latest slope pated conspiracy scenario.
However in the feds zeal to nab all the Failed Fuckerists there might be a few errors. thedailybeast.com/cops-confuse-a…

In the absence of reporting massacres and human rights violations are often investigated by forensic analysis of social media. Most, if not all, funded privately. Then the NGOs invite the media in. Kind of reverse reporting. bellingcat.com/news/2021/04/0…
It’s very rare to see enterprise reporting. Most outrage stories are hand offs to media, usually long after the event. Often creating tunnel vision that only covers one side of a story. cnn.com/videos/world/2…
One might ask why Wagner is in these horrible violent places and who would work as a mercenary under these conditions. Wagner doesn’t do PR but their impact is very real. From Donbas to Damascus, Caracas to DRC and Libya to Mozambique.

It’s clobbering time. The talibs are on full send in Afghanistan and Turkey may step in like they did in Libya. Afghanistan is someone else’s war now.
It’s worth noting that the Turkish mercenaries in Libya are Syrian Turkmen. The Turkmen and Uzbeks on the north are part of the Turkish crescent so they would fit under a Dostum led militia structure. The Turks also bring air power along with proven drone strategies.
The entry of Turkish forces would not be new. When I first met Dostum in 2001 there were two Turkish intel officers with him. And that now famous SF team.

The Library of Congress has over 9100 films online. They vary from tedious to interesting. Here is 74-year-old Thomas Edison showing how capitalists get it done. loc.gov/item/00694187/
Edison wanted to monopolize the film industry by using patents on every step of the process to prevent competition. Here is his Edison-Dickson-Heise experimental horizontal-feed kinetograph camera loc.gov/item/00694132/
Edison didn't invent the 1000 or so ideas he held patents for. He just hired people and patented their work. Intellectual property was a big deal in America because one good idea and an investor could make you rich, but Edison weaponized patents. mentalfloss.com/article/51722/…

Lost in much of the discussion of wars or resolution of wars in Libya and Afghanistan is the insidious influence of salafists in Saudi Arabia shaping perceptions and using Madkhalism and Deobandi teachings to recruit and drive violence. france24.com/en/tv-shows/re…
Saudi preacher Rabee al-Madkhali influences large numbers of people in the Middle East, Asia and Northeastern Africa. The salafist cleric targets the Muslim Brotherhood and supports the idea of a royal family issuing fatwas in their support. worldpoliticsreview.com/insights/26962…
The talibs had their roots in the Deobandi schools. In the mid 1800's in India under the British, clerics instilled a sense of independence and globalism. After partition the students in the deobandis in Pakistan were energized by Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.nytimes.com/2002/02/23/wor…

We are learning that the former President was obsessed with spying on the media and his people while paranoid that he was being spied upon. All while his droids made multiple contacts with intelligence assets or agents from Russia, UAE, Ukraine, KSA etc vanityfair.com/news/2021/05/t…
We know that Trump distrusted the CIA, FBI and State Dept because they were...professionals, with ethics and a code of conduct. He then had foreign nations like Israel, KSA and the UAE secretly fund or support his close network of confidantes. defenseone.com/policy/2020/12…
One of the odd birds that constantly sticks out is Ezra Cohen Watnick. A young man who appears to be the Forrest Gump of Intelligence jobs. Spy vet and all around intel curmudgeon @SpyTalker lit up the ROTC drop out wunderkind in early 2017. Asking WTF? newsweek.com/2017/04/28/ezr…
