Russians invading Russians. "Most of this data is focused on Russia, which suggests the attackers have access to many sources of federal and local government information." csoonline.com/article/364141…
Lets not forget that Wagner is busy hiring. BTW "Mali Meddling" is a great holiday mercenary rom/com title. themoscowtimes.com/2021/11/20/us-…
The joke is that Russians have already invaded the Ukraine using mercenaries and local militias. "Wagner" is actually getting too famous sundayguardianlive.com/world/putins-s…
Here is some homework on Wagner and Russia's expanding use of Oligarch funded, state controlled mercenaries since 2014: russianpmcs.csis.org

I may the only guy dumb enough to write the best book about mercenaries from on the ground(Licensed to Kill Hired Guns in the War on Terror) Sean McFate carries the torch trying to warn policy makers that we need to realize the dangers of deniable fuckery. ndupress.ndu.edu/Media/News/Art…

The best private security scandal you'll read all week. Dark bananas, tin foil rooms, nuke bunkers, paramilitary missions to Mexico, pissed off strippers and Trump's private CIA called Aymntor. Can you hear that scrubbing sound? nypost.com/2021/11/20/bil…
Aram Roston first figured it out in 2017. A bunch of former Dewey people wanted to provide a private CIA. Pompeo insisted that the actual CIA would get much more vicious. Trump was positive deep state was spying on him. Aymtor to the rescue. buzzfeed.com/aramroston/tru…
Then Matt Cole at the Intercept discovered that the private CIA was even crazier than Rostom imagined. "John [Maguire] was certain that the deep state was going to kick the president out of office within a year,” theintercept.com/2017/12/04/tru…
Conversely engineer Bruce Swedien believed in the Blumlein-pair array (matched mics at 90 degrees) and recording everything in stereo. He was using SMPTE linked 24 tracks. Quincy said "We had to leave space for God to walk through the room." soundonsound.com/people/bruce-s…

"Mr. Garelick’s...is based on his study of the Strauss-Howe generational theory — the notion that distinct groups throughout history share characteristics and values that cycle anew every 18 to 20 years." nytimes.com/2021/11/21/bus…
Steve Bannon didn't do teen comedies...instead he hijacked the Straus-Howe Theory to make one of his crappy films. But for total different purposes. He made Generation Zero. hishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cUAJ6Gc6Zo
"Strauss and Howe argue that the last five centuries ...sequence every 80-100 years, the length of a long human life, or what the ancients called a “saeculum.” These generational archetypes are: Prophet, Nomad, Hero, and Artist. artofmanliness.com/character/know…
Next up: “free and fair elections” Just like Libya. “I realized that the road would not be strewn with roses.” Said the PM after graciously being re-educated while under arrest.
The UAE must now shift to their "soft power" strategy while secretly deploying an ugly fuckery plan to destabilize about two dozen nations in Europe, the US, Middle East and Africa. z3news.com/w/uae-becomes-…
"Organizers then will lead a march up to the U.S. Capitol where they are expected to arrive around 1 p.m.—the time during which the new Congress, which is being sworn in on Sunday, will consider certification of the electoral college results." breitbart.com/politics/2021/…
Breitbart laid the 1/6 plot out. (the speakers were shifted after being deemed too radical). The President, fundraisers, speech writers, and bit players all coordinated to cause violence during the Electoral College count.
"“Big protest in D.C. on January 6th,” Mr. Trump tweeted on Dec. 19, just one of several of his tweets promoting the day. “Be there, will be wild!” "Wild", "fight" and "stop" were key action words. But was that enough to begin the violence? nytimes.com/2021/01/06/us/…
