24 hours in a Waffle House can teach you more about people, life, humility and grace than any ten years in college.
I like taking photos of people in Waffle House and sending them their photos. ©RYP
Sometimes I will put a fancy city slicker border around their photo so they can tell their friends that it's art.
I realize that people rarely have their photo taken at work. Which is kind of my hallmark. Taking pictures of people doing their jobs.

America created, funded and managed a number of wars. Tibet is one of the more interesting. Camp Hale in Colorado was also where we trained.....Libyans. nybooks.com/daily/2013/04/…
Another favorite WTF operation was Ed Wilson hired to train Qaddafi's troops. One of the guys on that bizarre gig was my buddy Billy Waugh who thought he was working for the agency. WIlson also created the Nugan Hand back to move weapons and kill teams. washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…
Turns out Wilson and his crew were working for the Agency but had to get burned to cover some asses. Have a read of Ed Wilson's history and ask yourself: Why is this not a movie? #RogueState spartacus-educational.com/JFKwilsonE2.htm

The Daily Mail pays for stories. Flynn is sending mailers to raise money for Stone. In the end, this is not about politics, justice or cancer, it's about the hustle. And like all the Trump mob, he has a begging bowl website. stonedefensefund.com dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…
So you have a high income individual willfully and knowingly not paying full taxes and penalties since 2007 now using his wife's medical condition and political bullshit to raise funds to defend his tax fraud. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

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.

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…

Time for Millennials to go Middle Age Crazy. cnbc.com/2021/06/17/nea…
BTW I have no idea what a millennial thinks is 'going crazy"
Equal time.

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.
