The NYTimes is doing great, in depth reporting on Africa. Here is Declan Walsh on the perfidy of Ethiopia's Nobel lauded ruler turned mass murderer. nytimes.com/2021/12/15/wor…
Smaller outlets and OSINT researchers are also putting together the tools and tactics of a ruler determined to put down the Tigray by whatever means necessary. oryxspioenkop.com/2021/12/new-dr…
Why is Abiy murdering his own people? Why not if no one stops him? Declan Walsh again on the origins of the conflict. nytimes.com/article/ethiop…
When Abiy Ahmed waged his “law-and-order operation” against the TPLF on November 4, 2020, he attempted to make the war on Tigray appear as a war on a corrupt, elitist party that did not represent the Tigray population"omnatigray.org/how-abiy-ahmed…
Once Abiy started the war, UAE immediately shipped in tons of weapons and ammunition by air bridge mostly tracked by OSINTer @Gerjon_ and published by @oryxspioenkop. The speed and amount of proliferation are stunning. oryxspioenkop.com/2021/11/uae-ai…
@Gerjon_@oryxspioenkop The UAE did this in Libya and Egypt to destabilize the government and support their man Haftar. This is part of what will be a "rapid reaction force" they will begin building in January. A group of 5000 mercenaries who will decide the rulers in Africa. gerjon.substack.com/p/the-uae-ethi…
The Saudi's pitched this to Trump via Elliott Broidy, Erik Prince pitched this to Trump via L6. Didn't happen. Fuck it lets go to the Fatima Six and scare them into being global proliferators using mercenaries. abc.net.au/news/2020-09-1…
The UAE is aligning itself with Russia and expanding their use of Wagner as in Libya. Kosovo and Ukraine are next. The EU is sitting around thinking about their own "rapid reaction force" Better hurry. globalvillagespace.com/eu-defense-min…
America still think in WW2 terms. But the war against the Tigray, Ethiopia, Libya, Sudan etc all started long before we heard the first shot. It would take three days for tanks to roll across Ukraine but why bother if you can do it quietly from within? militarytimes.com/news/2021/12/1…
Long before Haftar attacked Tripoli and long before Wagner showed up. Wagner's election fuckerist Max Shugalev was supporting Haftar and Said Islam for an election run. This is 2019 not 2021 thenationalnews.com/world/europe/a…
Shugalev...the movie. Election fuckerist er sorry "NGO
turned Rambo. If only we had as much brass as Russia does in turning disaster into entertainment.

"PedeInspector selected only the lines of data where President Trump “rounded down” and then added all of these numbers together. PedeInspector has repeatedly tried to point out that he does not know the accuracy of the data, did not have permission to use the data"
"Subsequently (PedeInspector) looked at how those numbers evolved over time and called foul if the number for a given candidate appeared to go down, declaring that proof of fraud." leadstories.com/hoax-alert/202…
Gym Jordan is the stooge. Pence was the plant. Trump was the puppetmaster. Meadows the whipping boy. Joseph Schmitz is an entire reality show series. cnn.com/2021/12/15/pol…
The title could be "There’s Something About Schmitz". "Joseph Schmitz approached the leader of the rebel Free Syrian Army. He offered to give them 70,000 assault rifles from Ukraine and 21 million rounds of ammunition" qz.com/211603/how-ukr…

Back in the day the talibs were very pro-American. After all we backed jihadis against the Soviets and they won. They were a little put out when we demanded that they hand over bin Laden and act civilized..even though they were bust and the love affair went downhill after that.
The Talibs are also very focused on getting their fingers into international aid money. They know very well that Afghanistan is a beggar nation without foreign help. You can't have your 12th century and eat too. Last time the Saudis and Emiratis came to their rescue.

Not just the coup. August 2020: "(Mark) Meadows no longer holds a daily 8 a.m. meeting that includes health professionals to discuss the raging pandemic. Instead, aides said, he huddles in the mornings with a half-dozen politically oriented aides" washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
"The president recently hosted Andrew Whitney, a biopharmaceuticals executive on the board of a company called Phoenix, who met in the Oval Office with Trump. Whitney... pitched Trump on a botanical extract called oleandrin as a treatment for the coronavirus"
"Enemies would liken him to a political sociopath, someone whose charm and affability conceal an unemotional capacity for deception. Meadows is so consumed with his cloak-and-dagger, 3-D-chess approach to Washington that he can’t always be trusted." politico.com/news/magazine/…
