You have to go to like outer space media to see not only was it a Uyghur, but because it's a Uyghur it's impacting China's investment calculus in Afghanistan:
Newsguard, which "vets" online news content and slaps "nutrition labels" for accuracy, employs none other than disgraced former NSA chief Michael Hayden on its board of advisers. Even lefties think he's a liar and war criminal.
And then you have Richard Stengel, who described his state department role under obama as "propagandist in chief." He's also called for abolishing 1st amendment in its present form to allow hate speech laws
Here I discus Revolver News' first bombshell article exploring the question of federal involvement in 1/6
Here I address the problem of mediocrity and IQ deficiencies among Regime approved journalists in context of a common (simpleton) objection to Revolver's piece
I almost feel sorry for the feds that they have such weak defenders
Low-ranked law school "debunker" guy literally saying the Proud Boy informing the Feds of what was going on Jan 6 isn't an "informant" because the FBI now uses a different official term for informants
The spirit of this joke critique similar to the army of fact-checkers who descended upon Revolver's original piece's use of the phrase "unindicted co-conspirator"
Of course all of this (flawed) legal nit-picking about specific term "unindicted co-conspirators" is completely beside the point
The real Q is whether any of the individuals referred to in the charging documents of 1/6 are unindicted as a result of prior relationship with feds
The problem with Caesarism is the "trust the plan" larpiness that it often cultivates, to the neglect of a more sober account of all of the elements necessary to actually accomplish something real---which might be slower, more boring and more circuitous
Also I think there's a tendency to reduce Caesarism to mere populism which, if taken too literally, dangerously neglects the importance of getting the highest quality human capital to defect from regime
The tendency to conflate Caesarism with a Trumpist populism breaks down upon consideration of Caesar himself
First off, Caesar was a first rate and accomplished general in a society in which military was an elite institution (not the case in USA)

More reporting next week, but let’s take stock of current state of play.
After our first groundbreaking report on Fed infiltration Twitter was in such a panic that a fact check was pinned to trending that “Yes, Trump supporters did attend protest”
Trevor Aaronson is so desperate to be a good regime gimp, and yet still concedes:
"I think it’s worth noting that there’s a reason for the cultural stickiness of the claim by Revolver and Carlson. It might be a conspiracy theory, but it’s not exactly “baseless,” "
"That’s because there are genuine concerns that the sting tactics used over the past two decades against impressionable Muslims will be used against equally impressionable Americans with right-wing ideologies."
You don't say!
"In the supposed plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, for example, FBI agents and an informant played significant roles, raising the same question...Would this plot have happened were it not for the FBI?"
Trevor, no one was talking about Michigan re: 1/6 before Revolver piece
