This is where Kazakhstan is on the map. If people are going to talk about it today, I assume this info is helpful.
The latest is the country's internet access has been cut. This is unfortunate for me because it means less potential for Kazakhstan unrest videos to find. bbc.com/news/world-asi…
"Why the unrest?" fuel
They also set the Kazakhstan President's home on fire apnews.com/article/busine…
"Protesters in Kazakhstan pulling down a monument to [former President] Nazarbayev. In the town of Taldyrkorgan." -- via twitter.com/Reevellp/
"Since Sunday #Kazakhstan 🇰🇿 has seen a popular revolt, caused by the rise in gas prices. Since Tuesday, several hundred demonstrators in the south-east of the country have been arrested, most released the same day under pressure from the streets." -- via twitter.com/andreivaitovic…
Chatter about Kazakhstan oil output from last month so you can pretend to sound smart when talking about this story reuters.com/markets/commod…
"A fire broke out at a government building in Almaty, Kazakhstan as protests over fuel prices grow." -- via twitter.com/Quicktake/
"The people confiscated the vehicle belonging to the police." -- via twitter.com/nrlhyildiz
News reports also say people are mad at Kazakhstan's ruling party. Here's a background story on the political scape from last year that helps add context to the current unrest. aljazeera.com/news/2021/1/11…
As you can imagine, people are like ">:("
"Thousands take to the streets of Kazakhstan's largest city #Almaty, marching towards the main city administration building after a night of unprecedented unrest across the Central Asian nation that followed an energy price hike" -- via twitter.com/AFP/
"In #Aktobe, west #Kazakhstan, the police reportedly announced that it would not be acting against the protesters" -- via twitter.com/AlexKokcharov/
MORE background about Kazakhstan.

Nazarbayev ruled for several decades, resigned in 2019, but still was in the background for the ruling party (until recently), the Nur Otan. bbc.com/news/world-asi…
Ongoing Kazakhstan coverage here. My modest little thread about it won't last forever.
"Kazakhstan issues nationwide state of emergency"
"Oil workers at the Tengiz field (the largest in Kazakhstan) have joined the protests. The Chevron-led operator of the oilfield said production hasn’t been affected, however. The protests started after a hike in LPG prices" -- via twitter.com/JavierBlas/
Big brain politics moment about Kazakhstan's political demographics that seem to indicate how the widespread unrest will play out.

I don't know how to start this off other than saying the claims in this post about Jack Murphy seem to check out.

There are solid claims that John Goldman (Jack Murphy) grifted the DC school system. I looked into it. Image
The claims against Jack Murphy (John Goldman) amounts to the plot of the 2019 movie "Bad Education."

People cheat the school system's funding to enrich themselves by basically hiring their own people.

The claims against Jack Murphy indicate this scheme.
Given what I'm going to talk about I see no reason for anyone in the political scene to trust Jack Murphy (John Goldman) again.

And all I'll need to do is quote passages from a book to make this point. That's the weirdest part about it.
