Ok, I’m confused @elonmusk.
How did I lose 1000 followers overnight?

Last night I was at 2,999 followers. Was expecting to cross the 3,000 mark today, but somehow I’m back to 2K now.

I hit 2000 on Dec. 13. WTH?

Weird #Christmas present from @Twitter! 🎁🎄🎅🏻 #FrowningSanta Image
Looks like I’m not alone … lots of users with the same problem today. Did Elon just do a Christmas Day purge? ImageImageImageImage
Lots of Tweeters losing followers today for some reason ImageImageImageImage

If you’re seeing this tweet, please double check to make sure you’re still following me (if you wish to) — I’ll do the same if I follow you.

I haven’t un-followed anyone on purpose so if we got disconnected it’s probably Twitter…

At the height of #ColdWar tensions with #Russia, the Soviets might have been pleased—or understandably frightened—to know that #JFK distrusted America’s military and intelligence establishment almost as much as they did. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
Kennedy had barely settled into the Oval Office when Admiral Arleigh Burke planned to publicly assail “the Soviet Union from hell to breakfast” in a speech.

#JFK ordered the admiral to back off & required all military officers to clear any public speeches with the White House!
President Kennedy’s biggest worry about the military was not the personalities involved but rather the freedom of field commanders to launch nuclear weapons without explicit permission from the commander in chief.

So he issued orders that no nuclear launch without POTUS approval

Things I shout at the TV while watching the 7-part Trauma Zone documentary about the fall of the #USSR by Adam Curtis:

“Dude! How did you even manage to get in and film that?”

“Dude! Holy shit that’s live ammo being fired at you! How are you alive?”😳

@RealCalebMaupin if you haven’t seen this yet, it’s a great binge-watch over the holidays.
Curtis is the king of random surprise edits. One minute you’re watching stunning nature photography of Siberian tigers; the next it’s Boris Yeltsin drunkenly making a speech, then jump-cut to a couple making a porn film in their apartment… lol… you never know what’s next!

An EXCELLENT discussion between Redacted’s @ClaytonMorris and @TheGrayzoneNews’ editor @MaxBlumenthal & reporter @wyattreed13 on the war in #Ukraine and much, much more…

This is must-see TV 📺!
Wyatt Reed’s Donetsk hotel was targeted and shelled heavily in October — its a hotel where journalists routinely stay while covering the war zone.

His original report here:
In August, #Ukraine War correspondent @EvaKBartlett narrowly survived an attack on this same hotel in Donetsk. Her video report is here:

Attacks on journalists is one of those important stories the MSM ignored. That’s why it made our Year In Review 2022.

There’s a lot about #Watergate you probably don’t know — because it was kept from you.

As journalist ⁦@jeffersonmorley⁩ spells out in his latest book, Nixon’s plan to threaten CIA Director Helms over the #JFK Assassination blew back in his face.
politico.com/news/magazine/…
In the context of his long-standing demand for the CIA’s records, the invocation of “the ‘Who shot John?’ angle” on the Nixon tape can only refer to one thing: Kennedy’s assassination.
The ambush in Dallas was the first thing on Nixon’s mind as he pressed the CIA director for the agency’s Bay of Pigs files.

The president intuited a connection between the failed Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba in 1961 and JFK’s assassination two years later.

A must-read from the #JFKFiles: "SECRET EYES ONLY" CIA report to the DCI, Richard Helms, by the Inspector
General in 1967, "SUBJECT: Report on Plots to Assassinate Fidel Castro."

All other copies were destroyed. 143 pages the CIA never wanted you to see.

archives.gov/files/research…
This is truly a Holy Shit document. If you've never read this one, you should.

@RealCalebMaupin, this is right up your alley.
Interesting tidbit on page 31 of the "Kill Castro" CIA file:

In early 1961, when a plan was being cooked up to take Castro out gangland-style in a hail of bullets, the one guy who "flatly opposed the use of firearms" was Sam Giancana, of all people.
