August 27, 1987 "(Clair) George said North was constantly coming up with plans for various covert action but that many of them were "harebrained" cia.gov/readingroom/do… Image
March 1989: "I don't care if I have to go to jail . . . . I don't care if I have to lie to Congress" washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…
December 2017: "Oliver North have been shopping a proposal to President Trump's White House and CIA Director Mike Pompeo to create a private global network of expendable spies that would report directly to Trump and Pompeo" theweek.com/speedreads/741…
Did they say "Expendables"? "The second injury occurred more recently when a stuntman backed up a slow-moving vehicle over a camera assistant’s foot." deadline.com/2021/11/expend…
We return you now to our story of ageless fuckery. April 2019: "Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) made a criminal referral to the Justice Department for Erik Prince based on evidence that “strongly indicates” the Trump ally lied to Congress." #AllTheSamePeople politico.com/story/2019/04/… Image

That sound. And the double bang. Libya back in the day. Wagner inspired Reverse Side of the Medal RSOTM is one of the better sources for actual combat footage/imagery in places not covered by the media. Reminds me of a Russian Mr DP.
RSOTM have this irritating habit of trying to cover voices and faces while the UN and Bellingcat publish vast lists of names and passports. It's illegal to have a PMC in Russia and many Wagner operations are in sanctioned countries.
We don't see it here but Russia has intensive media and information operations in Africa to normalize Russian presence. From TikTok plugs of Putin telling jokes to radio stations to movies. themoscowtimes.com/2021/05/21/new…

Uh...the Intercept doesn't even mention Prince getting nailed on an... intercept? (sorry.. but too good a pun to waste). Like his famous meeting with Kirill Dmitriev in the Seychelles...the one he lied about under oath? theintercept.com/2021/12/02/eri…
"Dmitriev suggested he had wanted to meet with Prince in order to improve relations between the U.S and Russia." abcnews.go.com/Politics/putin…
And according to Prince's proffer deal and Nader testimony about the second Russian meeting...why was Prince screaming at Putin's pal that Libya was off the table? taskandpurpose.com/news/erik-prin…

yes...that's nice...but what about mental diversity? niemanlab.org/2021/12/overwh…
After "OscarsSoWhite" TV shows and movies now are "diverse" with many of the characters suffering from some type of affliction or mental handicap. Old white men are wandering around looking for Blockbuster video stores to rent Chuck Norris movies. 11alive.com/article/news/n…
Actors now must be diverse...or in this case "non white" which makes you wonder how that works in "diverse" scenarios.

Billy Waugh turned 92 yesterday. Happy Birthday Billy Image
Get a copy of Billy's book (or mine) to read up on his adventures. He is also in Surprise, Kill, Vanish. Billy is not a boastful man and he keeps telling me he did "A lot more stuff" than what is written about him or by him. amazon.com/Hunting-Jackal…
He taught clandestine operations to SF and drove all the way from Florida to Fort Bragg in his new Caddy cuz "I got too many guns to fly". Billy told me he was doing motivational speeches to kids about getting shot 8 times and keeping on going. I suggested that might be overkill. Image

Dr Oz is a disgraced TV host and bullshit peddler who now wants a government job. On the good side, at least he is honest about being dishonest. businessinsider.com/dr-oz-false-mi…
The British Medical Journal determined that Dr Oz had a 46% non-bullshit rate. I do not know if they ran that against the 100% Trump Bullshit baseline. But Oz could promote the claim. "54% Less Dishonest Than Donald Trump!" bmj.com/content/349/bm…
PNAS determined that politicians lie more than the general public.... and worse..."We find that in our sample, politicians who are averse to lying have lower reelection rates, suggesting that honesty may not pay off in politics." pnas.org/content/117/36…

The lady at Walmart told me the car and truck batteries are now locked up because people run in, grab them and run out. I was going to explain how a tripwire worked and thought this helpful RYP tip might not end well.
She said they were also running out the door with giant flat screens. She was impressed with the skill that took. Nothing an hour reading FM 5-31 couldn't fix. bits.de/NRANEU/others/…
I get all the high end smash and grabs but I thought who wants to go to jail for stealing a car battery? Nothing that a little fishing wire and a quick pull couldn't fix.
