It's not just about a diary. It is most likely about a coordinated effort to attack, blackmail and degrade the authority of elected or appointed U.S. officials. Many of the individuals in this week's activities have direct links to towhead. theweek.com/speedreads/982…
FYI. For every new indictment story about how terrible and uncredible people are....there is always an older Trump story.
For every sputtering defense by overpaid political operatives on protecting "freedom of the press" and "journalism" there is always the awkward social media espionage and masked assassination post.

Those obsessed with the stern merkined one's investigation into FISA abuse re Steele should remember that FISAs are to investigate espionage as (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) and the Office of the Inspector General has been down this road before. justice.gov/storage/120919…
There was deep suspicion that specific members of Trump's team were not only in contact with foreign agents (aka spies) but might even be getting paid by them with the end state being infiltration and manipulation of our government. justice.gov/nsd-fara/frequ…
Turns out that the FBI was correct. They just didn't shoot high or wide enough. Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner had sent a friend Rick Gerson to the Seychelles to set up a "back channel" with Putin. motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
What if there is no optimal..even with super computers and AI? Polynomial optimization problem in artificial intelligence means we may be back to just winging it. Why is this important? Let's find out. quantamagazine.org/surprising-lim…
Researchers from the University of Bath and York St John University found that, since the 1980s, millennial's obsession with perfection has increased by a third, which they blame on the impact of neoliberal economics. Say What? apa.org/pubs/journals/…
Neoliberialism. A 19th century idea that has destroyed many nations and built others. An idea that "maintains that “the market” delivers benefits that could never be achieved by planning." AKA stupid greedy people in charge. Where else is this being used? theguardian.com/books/2016/apr…

Trump's links to Israeli/Russian gangsters are solid. You could do an entire dossier on how concrete, the mob and Trump tower. Or on the Gulf Arabs and Trump or on the Ukraine and Trump. The problem was Steele's focus was on gossip from Russia to prove Trump a sleaze bag.
Saw a depressing but informative 2018 documentary by a Scotsman about the Ku Klux Klan. It would have been hard to believe that 30,000 klansmen marched down Pennsylvania Avenue on August 8, 1925 but it happened. A lot of Klan narratives still exist. gettyimages.com/detail/video/l…
"Who Put the Klan Into Ku Klux Klan" is on Prime. Hosted by archaeologist and historian Neil Oliver. Oliver's goal is to explore the Scottish origins of the group and its morphing into a violent racist group. His outsider view of America is valuable.
You can see the mass hysteria of a fictional foe that we see today. Often with violent consequences. Definitely worth a watch. history.com/news/kkk-birth…
Family petrodictatorship dumps America and hires Wagner to wage fuckery worldwide. What could possibly go wrong? Good to see the academics figuring this out. Plenty more to come as this unwinds. #RussiaLoveYouShortTime

Thanks to the UAE, Yemen, Egypt and Libya are saturated with weapons from the Balkans. Now it's Ethiopia's turn. gerjon.substack.com/p/the-uae-ethi…
Remember who else had their "devices" taken. Rudy, Erik Prince, Adam Ciralksy, Victoria Toensing, George Nader and others. This indicates a high level of interest in federal criminal activity. Add the laborious flash to bang with three months out for 1/6 and you have your Nov/Dec
