@IndefiniteWild when are we going to thrash the new Bronco Raptor? It’s the closest thing to a Land Rover I have seen. outsideonline.com/outdoor-gear/c…
The big Bronco has more solid common sense design thinking put into it than any other off road vehicle out there. We just need a winch, some impassable hell and some decent grub.
This was one for the books. range-rover-classic.com/Home/range-rov…
Did I tell you about my off road vacation in Chad?

"Bad Brokeass White Gals" is America's latest cultural craze. Elizabeth Holmes, Anna Delvey, Sarma Melngailis are young white and busted. Madonna, Britney, Paris and the Kardashians are so yesterday naughty. latimes.com/entertainment-…
"True Crime" is saturating streaming channels. I still like Lord of Scam. Ratings wise...crusty old French pros can never compete with innocent sounding white girls. Not sure why we celebrate criminalty but being nice and productive doesn't snag eyeballs. netflix.com/title/81092697
I suppose it began with post civil war dime novels sold on the east and west coasts. Fabulous tales of daring criminals with a dash of legendary lawmen. Much of it fictionalized. history.org.uk/student/resour…

Terrorism meets cancel culture. Lots of infighting and backstabbing in the Gitmo film business. Each one insists that their vision is true and the other insults them. Former al Qaeda members sell paintings and make films while MBS lops heads in KSA. People...focus.
Plenty of Gitmo folks have entered the victim art business. Their stories are horrific. Plenty of sad stories. But making film makers as the enemy for humanizing them is the most bizarre perversion from members of a group that worshipped image projection.wikileaks.org/gitmo/prisoner…
The books and films are an attempt to tell a story, a form of interrogation and evidence gathering. Many claim they were innocent. Many admit they were guilty and hope people forgive them. Why work work to ban a film where Gitmo folks tell their story? theintercept.com/2021/08/17/gua…

Quotes that don't age well:

"If Franklin Roosevelt could work with Josef Stalin to defeat Nazi fascism, certainly the United States could work with Vladi­mir Putin to defeat Islamic fascism.”

washingtonpost.com/powerpost/erik…
It was only 6 years ago that a lot of people around Trump really really wanted to get close to Vlad Putin to roll back sanctions, make some money and reshape the status quo. No one has really told the story of what happened up until today.axios.com/erik-prince-cr…
But it wasn't just getting cosy with Vlad...the entire Trump White House focused on creating a New World Order in which America would let autocrats expand their control of the world and look the other way while they snuffed out democracy. vox.com/policy-and-pol…

Putin denies this.
Since Putin cannot "win against Ukraine he will launch a war against Russians. economist.com/leaders/2022/0…
Let's call it. Russia has and has always had a shit army with shit equipment maintained at about the rate that Afghans used to keep their gear up to spec. When Vlad the Angry pushes the big nuke button. Watch out for sparks.

Haftar is an Egyptian-born Libyan American mercenary from Falls Church and Vienna, Virginia. I have no idea whose men he is pimping as mercenaries….but they gonna die pretty quickly in Ukraine.
I am assuming that he will boxing up and shipping the Russian, Janjaweed, Chadian, Syrian and other riff raff low budget mercs that were on the UAE payroll. If actual Libyans show up to die for Putin. I will be surprised.
If you followed the Libya conflict you will remember the almost comical attempt to take over Tripoli slowly turn into a war crime. Like Putin, Haftar thought he could roll into Tripoli in a few days. Nope. Three years later, Libya who fought the revolution want him gone.

Gregg Smith is on the Team House.
cue dystopian music
Watched the whole show how. Lot of good granular stuff on personnel, deals, ambitions and compartmentalization. Lot of people worked together on projects but had no idea of the full scope or client. A lot of those people are friends, acquaintances and subjects of interest..cont.
