If you are watching Fox and Tucker rail on about Ukraine its worth remembering that Fox led the charge into the worst military debacle in American history. CBS is guilty as well. Fox showed the least carnage. cmpa.gmu.edu/wp-content/upl…
Carlson is literally saying that Putin is the good guy... just keeping his western borders secure. Putin doesn't care what Tucker says, but it's disturbing to see a U.S. news channel portraying NATO as the bad guy. An old Trump harangue. motherjones.com/politics/2022/…
The only thing stopping Putin from retaking all of post World War Russia...is NATO. A nervous America who didn't want extra U.S. casualties killing of the last of the Nazi war machine. So we traded much of Eastern Europe..not Western Russia.. to Stalin. nytimes.com/2021/12/05/wor…
Putin began stealing land in 1999 with Chechnya and it never stopped. It would make sense he would remove the UK from Europe and it would make sense that he is working with other nations to kneecap Western control of oil markets. Putin's game is global. octavianreport.com/article/amb-zv…
Putin's target is Europe...and America...and developing nations. KSA, UAE, China and other nations see a window. Trump was happy to remove troops and influence worldwide. Putin is hoping America doesn't wake up in time to stop his Axis of Evil plans. foreignpolicy.com/2020/11/30/pen…
Political influence is cheap. Elections are cheap (only one billion for each candidate, you can bet on both) and America is slow to react to aggression in remote regions. UAE backed Wagner and Wagner 2.0 are stealing Africa as we speak. #ComingToAmerica ecfr.eu/article/commen…
Before Wagner, Russia used Cubans and advisors. They were good fighters and Castro needed the money. Soviet advisors were found in post colonial places from Afghanistan to Angola to Nicaragua to Ethiopia. Same shit. Different century. #TheGreatGame
The Reagan Doctrine didn't really confront Soviet influence we trained them up and let the locals die. Until National Security Decision Directive 166. Casey got jiggy with the jihadis and you know how that worked out. It seemed like "we" won. washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…
Friedrich Engels 1858: "It was impossible to defeat those Afghan bearded men and their sons, with whom we then had to fight. They were ready to fight their whole lives, and they had nothing to lose" belfercenter.org/publication/le…
The Ukrainian Zaporozhian Cossacks wrote one of the finest military letters ever penned in 1676. They were fighting the Ottomans. labrujulaverde.com/en/2019/05/the…
This spirit of feisty warfare was harnessed by Putin to create Pseudo Cossacks or Little Green Men. Gangs of armed men aka mercenaries who began shit disturbing and taking over chunks of other countries. All fun and games until an airliner was shot down. jamestown.org/program/putins…
You might remember Trump's Pseudo Cossacks, Little Red Men or Brownshirts from this colorful photo gallery posted by the FBI. fbi.gov/wanted/capitol…
See how easy it was to slide right back to Tucker Carlson. Putin's Patron saint of Pseudo Cossacks? Tucker Carlson is a transparent shill. politifact.com/article/2021/n…
"Their indomitable hatred of rule, their love of individual independence, this very irregularity and uncertainty of action makes them dangerous, liable to be blown about by the wind of caprice, or to be stirred up by political intriguers, who artfully excite their passions."
Ok I cheated...that's not CNN describing MAGA, its German-born Frederick Engels describing Afghans in 1857. Engels is better known as the co-creator of Marxism. marxists.org/archive/marx/w…

Latest cancel culture war is #JihadRehab in which a film about rehabilitating terrorists suddenly requires banning the film by people who haven't seen it. I remember when my in depth interview with John Walker Lindh meant I had "entrapped" him after bringing him medical care. Image
Greg Barker did a great doc about my interview and the story of Lindh in a film called Detainee 001. I suppose he could have used some of those culture cancel vultures to pump up the ratings. vulture.com/2021/09/greg-b…
The best part was when I finally returned from Afghanistan I was interviewed by news networks around the world. Here is Matt Layer trying to portray me as a terrorist sympathizer. Hey Matt... hows that news job working out?

Not a fan, but yes. Hilly's back with a vengeance. And with nicely done revenge merch.
I did a deep dive into the mythical Clinton Dirt. Hilly was a Luddite and there never were any juicy emails re Benghazi. It was a psyops facilitated by Bannon and Prince. That's why they met. But have a look at how the naughty NYTimes covered a non story.
Prince, who used to provide embassy guards before they murdered a bunch of unarmed civilians, got some scoop from a Canadian filmmaker who happened to be in Benghazi the day after. Suddenly it was Hilly's fault that no one came to their rescue. Not true. theguardian.com/world/2013/nov…

if you have ever watched hundreds of thirsty camels drain a man made, truck supplied reservoir in Central Somalia you would know that a lot of what passes for agriculture in the Horn is not sustainable. We have the same problem here. aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/8/…
Centuries of overgrazing, monoculture crops, supply side growers, population growth and poor management is killing land off, leaving it useless to humans for food or water. Here is a great depressing interactive map of what we are losing.wad.jrc.ec.europa.eu
We know we are screwed. Humans are greedy and selfish. Free stuff promotes growth. Fish, flora, fauna and forests will vanish. Yes, population growth will level off as nations become more affluent but how long can we live on Jim Bakker food buckets?

1973: A tiny and fragile Roger Stone pays operatives to infiltrate the Democratic Party for Richard Nixon. Yes that's Paul Manafort on the right, back when he spun commie war lords as freedom fighters. dks.library.kent.edu/?a=d&d=dks1973…
America was consumed with the idea that a President would use dirty tricks during an election. Some of the insiders threatened to talk unless they were pardoned. newyorker.com/news/daily-com…
Stone was outed as a bagman, who would take cash from wealthy people and make things happen politically. worked for Nixon, then Reagan, then Trump. Remember. Stone is infamous for moving money. A Serial Bagman as he is described. here:propertyofthepeople.org/2018/09/07/fbi…

Good news. The Tinder Swindler just nuked the Tiger King by more than ten million uniques in the first week on Netflix. Now I won't have to pitch "The Tiger King of...." deadline.com/2022/02/the-ti…
Netflix is the Petri dish of "what people like" but there are many obscure and mainstream franchises they could keep mining... I am still waiting for TinTin2, Taboo 2 and the Kominsky Method 3, Maybe even some of the earlier series like Young Indiana Jones that failed on TV.
Now I have an awkward question. Since Netflix made bank on the misfortune of these ladies..shouldn't Netflix help with the financial mistakes that make up the heart of the story? washingtonpost.com/arts-entertain…

“Mr. Prince is separately under investigation by the Justice Department on unrelated matters, according to people familiar with the case. The scope of that investigation is unclear.”

Oh it’s pretty clear if you read UN reports on Libya nytimes.com/2022/02/08/us/…
“Mr. Seddon owns a cabin that he keeps stocked with guns, food and other supplies as preparation for a cataclysmic event in the United States.” RubyRidge 2.0?
This is not really new. Fuckery Flashback to 2016 and you can meet another cast of characters doing the same thing. #WhereAreTheyNow? whowhatwhy.org/politics/gover…
