US military loading vehicles tonight in Rzeszow, Poland around 60 miles from Ukraine border. Little or no information is being given about these operations
Convoy of trucks nearby. There is astoundingly little interest on the part of US media to report on what the US military is currently doing. If anything the media is deeply hostile toward such reporting
Here’s the perimeter of the new US installation
Some more vehicles visible through the fencing
Another vehicle on the move that I was only able to partially glimpse
And for the cranks accusing me of exposing classified information or whatever nonsense, feel free to come to Rzeszow and I can show you the public right-of-way where all this is freely available for anyone to view

This is what happens if you dare to ask the most gently critical questions about the media and Epstein

mtracey.net/p/epstein-medi…
Basically what happened here is a person hailed as one of the media's foremost "experts" on Epstein (CNN, MSNBC, etc.) couldn't handle a few incredibly mild questions, accused me of being an agent of Dershowitz, and then prematurely terminated the stream. Video in article above
The episode was emblematic of how impossible it is to have any reasonable public discussion of this issue. Asking simple factual questions leads to wild accusations. Those wedded to the popular narrative never expect to be challenged at all -- they're in a cocoon of reaffirmation

There's so much wrong with this "Meet the Press" clip, it's incredible. The "victim" whose harrowing testimony Kristen Welker quotes from is Anouska De Georgiou, a British model, actress, and reality TV show contestant who was preposterously allowed to testify in the Maxwell trial under the fake name "Kate," even though Anouska De Georgiou had already made numerous public statements and media appearances about her purported experiences with Epstein, including an NBC News interview.

The judge ultimately instructed jurors that they could not convict Maxwell on the basis of any sexual contact "Kate" claimed to have with Epstein, as none of this alleged contact would have been illegal under the charges brought by the government. It was certainly never close to established at trial that "rape" or "sexual assault" was perpetrated on this person, despite her dramatic claims at the subsequent sentencing hearing (quoted by Welker) which were not subject to cross-examination.

Anouska De Georgiou, aka "Kate," maintained contact with Epstein into her 20s and 30s. The idea that her story constitutes illicit "sex trafficking," much less pedophilic sex trafficking, is simply ridiculous. And yet Welker reads off this searing quote to a TV audience that will never receive any additional context.

Speaker Mike Johnson's claim that there are "probably a thousand" victims of Epstein also makes absolutely no sense, and is nowhere close to established by any credible evidence. It derives from the FBI/DOJ memo earlier this month, which does not provide any articulated basis for the claimed figure of "one thousand" victims, and appears to conflate Epstein's alleged possession of commercial pornography (legal) with child sex abuse, collapsing it all into one amorphous category of "victims."

Throwing around that huge, wildly unsubstantiated number is a perfect way to keep the public hysteria going.
Another interesting part of Anouska De Georgiou's "victim impact statement" that Kristen Welker chose to omit from her reading on Meet the Press is De Georgiou claiming to have undergone "deprogramming" in her "mind and body" in her 40s. Whatever exactly that's supposed to mean Image
In 2008, when she was around 30, Anouska De Georgiou emailed Epstein while he was incarcerated in Florida, offering to send him photos of herself. In 2010, she dated David Hasselhoff. In 2011, she again initiated emails with Epstein, asking to visit and stay with him in New York Image

I'm almost always right about this crap, just sayin'

"Trafficking" as a legal construct is a relatively recent invention of over-zealous prosecutors, pandering politicians, and lazy sensationalized media, jointly fomenting sex hysteria and moral panic -- as American as Apple Pie
It runs the gamut...
I will also proudly defend wrongly accused gays...

I apologize for not covering the farce that was the Ghislaine Maxwell trial sooner. One of the four "victims" the government relied upon was a self-described schizophrenic who said she heard voices telling her that sex traffickers were going to come and take her children away Image
One of the jurors lied on the jury questionnaire, which asked if they'd been victims of sexual abuse. He claimed his own story of abuse was critical in convincing fellow jurors to look past the holes in witnesses' stories. Then he tweeted in celebration with one of the "victims" Image
Here's a video of the juror being informed by the Daily Mail that he lied on the juror questionnaire. Incredible stuff

The text of the "minerals deal" that was signed yesterday is substantially different from earlier drafts

For one, it says that *future* US military assistance to Ukraine (not past assistance) will constitute "capital contributions" to the newly established joint investment fund. This can now be presented as the US in some sense getting "paid" for continuing to arm Ukraine, which could be a useful political argument for continuing to arm Ukraine -- but with a more profitable "deal"Image
The agreement contemplates that Ukraine could or will receive "reparations" for the invasion from Russia. This may come as news to Russia Image
Compared to past drafts, US ownership of Ukraine's physical infrastructure appears to have been watered down with legalese, but the US receive 50% of the revenues from a large variety of natural resources, including oil and natural gas Image

Trump's former and likely future National Security Advisor, Robert O'Brien, wrote an essay intellectualizing Trump's foreign policy. He says Trump defies "globalist orthodoxies" by strengthening NATO and increasing US military entanglements with Japan, Israel, and the Gulf states Image
O'Brien pines for Trump to correct the mistakes of Biden, who he says has not militarized Taiwan quickly enough. The next Administration must push Taiwan to expand conscription, and also start treating Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam like client states on par with Israel Image
O'Brien can't wait for Trump to resume his "Maximum Pressure" campaign against Iran, which Biden has largely continued but not aggressively enough for O'Brien. These means ramping up sanctions with the aim of "containing" Iran (and ultimately overthrowing its government) Image
