1. The thing about #Covid19 from the start was that we didn't have the way to totally prevent infections just the ability mitigate the harm they caused with vaccines. Had @FoxNews & @Facebook@Meta not attacked America with a propaganda war we might have been ok. But now all the
2. unvaccinated like many vaccinated folks are going to catch this highly transmissible variant. Vaccinated people without other issues will likely survive. The direct victims of @Facebook and @foxnews imune compromised and unvaccinated are going to get sick and many may die and
3. others may live the rest of their lives disabled as the direct result of @facebook and @foxnews intentional wrongs. IMO we all have claims against @Meta and @Foxnews for public nuisance and fraud. Our law will have to evolve to bring them to justice but courts have the
4. ability to fashion remedies for intentionally harmful conduct. The total economic destruction of @rupertmurdoch@TuckerCarlson and others like them along with @facebook shareholders and bankers should make the change in corporate culture needed to insure this never happens
5. again. Total economic destruction for the banks and major investors who funded these monsters and the management who ran them. All completely wiped out with the liability reaching middle management. All of their retirement and other planning blown to bits as intentional
6. fraudulent transfers. And these firms' stock? Valued at zero in Bankruptcy where all the value and assets go to pay their victims. It's going to be bigger than Opiates and Asbestos combined.

1. Russian people got stuck with the corrupt KGB founded criminal enterprise parading as a sovereign government. After Putin install TFG, he likely told his crime family that he would be able to destroy NATO. He succeeded at getting the Oligarch infiltrated UK to leave EU
2. but his attack on Ukraine, clumsy attempt to influence the 2020 election with Giuliani's Ukraine fiasco has led to a stronger and more unified Ukraine. Now Putin is burning up his armed forces on a constant war-time footing and reports say he will add Russia's nuclear forces
3. to his endless war threats. This is not how an authoritarian leader who thinks he is secure behaves. If he felt he had the backing of the people who might be able to remove him, he'd have acted by now. Defense Minister Shoygu is just another criminal who has risen to
1. US LNG production and shipping can defeat Russia's attempt to subjugate Europe. Putin will try to get @POTUS@JoeBiden to fix the mess Putin made of his gas monopoly. It would be a mistake to make any decisions that gives Putin back the weapon he proved he'd use on Europe.
2. The proper position would be to discuss whether the US needs to use the defense production act to build a huge fleet of LNG carriers to completely overwhelm the Russian capacity. I'm nearly certain that Putin needs to talk now because he sees his gas play as a disaster
3. that exposes his lack of understanding of simple economics. Russian oligarchs can likely perceive what this policy will bring and it will be economic decline and more pressure on the government.
Putin has created the need for Ukraine to be in @NATO and for NATO to look
1. #Ukraine: I don't recall if Russia ever attempted an amphibious landing. If Putin is planning one it's a very risky endeavor. If I were preparing to defend it, I would consider deploying as many reserve MBTS and MSTA's as possible to defend the obvious targets near Odesa, and
2. right outside of the entrance to Crimea. Then practice gunnery by grids, marking the gun placements and then disburse them to more secure revetments that could be employed to confuse Russian bombers. Then when the unfortunate Russian conscripts are approaching the
3. coast, deploy the guns back to their assigned grids and rain concentrated artillery fire to disable and then sink the ships. The keys would be practice for accurate grid targeting and moving the tanks and guns to more secure locations from which to deploy for the attack.
1. I can recall the issue of 'Kuleana' rights holders arose regarding the large parcel Zuckerberg purchased. I've had to address this complicated issue of Hawaiian land ownership and I didn't see the way his lawyers handled it as extreme or improper. Also, the Ka Loko dam is a
2. threat to public safety that has killed people in recent times. The Zuckerberg family has apparently taken the dam on as their responsibility or 'Kuleana' in the Hawaiian language. I'm not a fan of @facebook or the firm's role in the attempted overthrow of the Republic but
3. simply from a perspective of news reporting, I don't see this story backed up by local media reporting from either the more mainstream @StarAdvertiser the investigative @CivilBeat, or the smaller more activist Hawai'i Free Press. Rather than go after Zuckerberg for
1. Lede: Former KGB flunky destroys the Second Russian Empire. So much for all the hype. With a sweet monopoly Putin lost his temper and killed the Russian economic future.
2. Rule one of monopoly power: Never force your customer to find another supplier. When Putin made the foolish choice to shut off the gas flow he and his mob crew must have forgotten about that law @BarackObama signed in January 2016. On Dec 18, 2015, in a one paragraph amendment
3. to a Defense authorization bill, advanced by @lisamurkowski and a few others but supported by some Democrats like yours truly, the US changed the future of the Russian empire, OPEC and every other fossil fuel monopolist wannabe forever. Prior law had banned US energy exports:
1. All of this is consistent with my analysis that, since at least February, there has been a large counterintelligence investigation to determine whether foreign actors have played roles in our elections and in the Jan 6 attack. We are three FISA orders in out of possible four.
2. IMO the Gang of Eight may have finally been notified of members of Congress who have been identified as national security targets. Was Nunes given an offer he can't refuse and resigned? McConnel is now indicating that something big is coming. I'm watching Rubio and McCarthy.
3. Yesterday Rubio stopped his absurd block on Biden's ambassador to China. I have not done a deep dive, but Kevin McCarthy seems to be MIA. I still think that there is a high likelihood that Putin's recent activities directed at Ukraine are a response to this investigation.
