Cholistan better known as Bahawalpur. Town has some history. Mostly ISI/CIA stuff. Had a coffee with the guy who ran the secret air ops related to snatching bin Laden and sneaky stuff. Famous for August 17, 1988. Why would Maximus be running weapons here?washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…
That is from "Disruption, Inside the Largest Counterterrorism Investigation in History by Aki J. Peritz (2021)" The UAE/KSA has always wanted a rapid reaction force in Afghanistan and have access to the eastern border of Iran. Not sure if this is the start of that force.
Maximus is the new air bridge for weapons supply after the UAE was busted by the UN using a collection of janky cutouts in Central Asia. Guy that answers the phone on the secret air bills insists its a falafel shop. UAE intel should have used a dry cleaner as a front.
The usual suspects have also been trying to buy weapons in Baku and wangle the AAA aircraft from Uzbekistan/Tajikistan to put together a "Northern Alliance" type resistance to the Taliban. Again calling my friends to all get killed in the Panjshir. Problem is the ISI has drones.
Uzbekistan says the aircraft are for Heavy D, the official head of the Afghan mil. Afghan Special Forces are scattered from Albania to NJ. Prince and ClownCo are being charged too much for rockets. It's a mess. But that doesn't stop the UAE from taking advantage of the mess.
Dont' forget that Albania is home of the MEKsters. Rudy and Mike's favorite anti Iran terrorists. They speak Farsi so I put some money on a MEKish anti taliban fuckfest led by KSA with UAE ops managers. A few mercenaries sprinkled in to make it newsworthy. newsweek.com/iran-lashes-mi…
Rudy promised us regime change. All we got was a sticky zipper. The Saudis keep the MEKCircus going. The UAE does the heavy lifting with Saudi money. Israel is pals with UAE. They all hate Iran. It all adds up. I wonder if Jr is available to lead chants? theguardian.com/us-news/2018/j…
Anywhere Maximus appears. Fuckery abounds. They hauled UAE stuff out of Eritrea and move a lot of redirected weapons into flip flop land. So anti talib border operations in Pakistan should be on your radar. apnews.com/article/eritre…

When you are done listening to the talking heads today. Read this manual. You will enjoy it. And you will get it. 1/6 was well planned, poorly executed, still viable with some change ups as most manufactured insurgencies are. irp.fas.org/doddir/army/at… ImageImage
The coordinated elements: the TOC at Willard, social media outreach, march, speeches, break-in were all designed to create the impression of a coup and a gov in distress, thereby energizing the next level of disbelievers. About 25% of the U.S. population newsweek.com/82-fox-news-97…
Intellectuals think that "fact checking" or "examining the truth" will reverse this. Nope. Stupid is as Stupid does. Once the narrative is set. You won't change opinions of those who "believe". Much like cults where logic or facts contrast fanciful tales. drsteveeichel.com/about-cults

Let the acridness of the scabrous image sink in. Then ask why Mr "I Wanted to Train Young Boys in a Italian Convent to be Crusaders" Bannon is mad at Donnie for not putting some PSI in his media outrage penis pump. rawstory.com/steve-bannon-d…
Rasputin had clearer skin and maybe a little bit more luck with the ladies.
You think I am being silly? Nope. Here is Bannon's partner in crime: Miles Kwok for the tacky political insurgency dance video win.

"Hannity's texts to Mark Meadows... illustrate for the umpteenth time a clear breach of traditional news media ethics by Hannity" News media? Ethics? Since when was Hannity and his ilk other than well coifed newstainment talking heads? " aka talk show host edition.cnn.com/2022/01/05/med…
I guess it started with Fox and Bill O'Reilly... people forgot that radio and TV hosts are not actually journalists. They read shit off of teleprompters for money.
I sat in camps while young jihadis listened to and watched fake disciples like Bin Laden and Dr Z. They would then expound and get angry on the ills of the world. I see exact parallels between US radio hosts and slope pated disciples who flocked to DC. atlanticcouncil.org/in-depth-resea…

The Blackberry was the bomb. Secure comms. Ugly keyboard designed for Sasquatch fingers. Removable battery. Touch as a brick. RIP Blackberry.
The Blackberry was actually thought out, with engineering ergos trumping fashion design. As the designers won out the phone just got crappier and crappier. pocket-lint.com/phones/news/13…
I rocked an ugly blue Blackberry in the field and wrote books on them in gun infested shitholes. Locals thought this guy must be a spy. Back home I was just a nerd as I explained the peer to peer function. Then they became "Crackberries" and our world would never be the same.

“I had just turned 40, and wherever my generation gathered, we would lament our lost capacity for concentration.” Some pretty good reasons to lose the phones and get outdoors. theguardian.com/science/2022/j…
“Attention” is the new “eyeballs” economy. “a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention”. dentsu.com/us/en/the-atte…
Riding a motorcycle, climbing a mountain, camping in the desert are completely useless activities to attention marketers.

Trump “executives” not “children” would be a better headline: “Ms. James’s civil inquiry is focused on whether Mr. Trump fraudulently inflated the value of his assets to secure bank loans and understated them elsewhere to reduce his tax bill.” nytimes.com/2022/01/03/nyr…
Not coincidentally the same criminal associates er “children” pleading with Daddy to stop all his badly staged coup tomfoolery at the Capitol on 1/6.
I understand that Daddy told them they were special. news.yahoo.com/donald-jr-ivan…
