At a 2020 debate, Biden cited a letter from 50 ex-intel officials to claim that the Hunter Biden laptop was all a "Russian plan" & "a bunch of garbage."

Now we learn that this was in fact a Biden plan: the Biden campaign got its CIA friends to write it. nypost.com/2023/04/20/bid…
This means that, in two consecutive presidential elections, the Democratic candidate generated fake claims about Russia; spread them via intel officials and media stenographers; and did so to deflect from factual disclosures about their corruption.

The Russiagate Playbook.

Leaked "bleak" Pentagon assessment is "a marked departure from" the White House's "public statements about the vitality of Ukraine’s military", and will likely "embolden critics who feel the US and NATO should do more to push for a negotiated settlement." wapo.st/43fXb2N
"Beyond the leaked document, U.S. officials said the prospects for a modest outcome in the spring offensive also were reinforced in a classified assessment by the National Intelligence Council," which "found that Ukraine was unlikely to recapture as much territory as Kyiv did… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
It's clear to me that some US intelligence officials want these leaks to come out. The question is why: to promote negotiations? Or to attempt to fool Russia into thinking that US-Ukraine are backing down? 🤷

@thomasphipps Gosh @thomasphipps, whoever is giving you this has come with something incredibly weak -- and that's being generous.

Let's put aside for a second that you've distorted my argument, which I'll return to. Let's just address your argument first.
@thomasphipps You admit that IIT's study "doesn’t mention ‘foam,’" but then assert that that's because "clinicians refer to this symptom" as "fulminating pulmonary edema."

Did you google this? Fulminating means rapid. And pulmonary edema means build up of fluid in the lungs, not oral foaming.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@thomasphipps The other odd part of your claim is that your source -- the IIT's study -- doesn't even mention "fulminating pulmonary edema." (Just like it doesn't mention the foaming.)

So you're not only wrong about what "fulminating pulmonary edema" means, you're maybe unaware that the IIT… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

This really is news: The Intercept has appointed @mariaressa to its board of directors. Ressa was also recently appointed chairperson at @MoveDemocracy, a project of the National Endowment for Democracy, a US gov't-funded intel front. Congrats to all. ned.org/nobel-peace-pr…
The Intercept's announcement of Ressa's appointment to its board describes her as a "globally recognized leader in independent journalism." It fails to mention her recent appointment to a US gov't-funded regime change org. theintercept.com/2023/03/14/int… Image

The House has defeated a measure to withdraw US forces from Syria. The final vote was 103-321. A few highlights from the debate:
Referring to ISIS, @RepRyanZinke (R-MT) says we can't withdraw from Syria because "either we fight 'em in Syria, or we'll fight 'em here... in the streets of our nation."

Did he borrow this line from what Adam Schiff said about Russia? ()
@RepRyanZinke .@RepJerryNadler says US is "defending the Kurds from certain slaughter at the hands of the Pershmerga... The Turks are supporting the Peshmerga." Huh? Peshmerga are Iraqi Kurds. I think he's mixed them up with US-backed "moderate rebels"/Turkish proxies. He also invokes Israel.

One month after Sy Hersh reports that US blew up Nord Stream, US officials declare that "newly collected intelligence" "suggests" that it was in fact a "pro-Ukraine group."

US has used Ukrainians for a proxy war against Russia. Now using them to take the blame for Nord Stream.
Of course, "U.S. officials declined to disclose the nature of the intelligence, how it was obtained or any details of the strength of the evidence." They also have "no firm conclusions."

So they have no evidence and no conclusions. That won't matter to our loyal press corps. Image
I don't think this is about just evading responsibility for blowing up Nord Stream. Perhaps US also preparing to throw Ukraine under the bus once the proxy war runs its course.

Ukrainian guilt would "make it harder for the West to maintain a united front in support of Ukraine." Image

After the earthquake, every House Democrat, including @JamaalBowmanNY @IlhanMN @PramilaJayapal @RoKhanna @AOC, voted to reject "the lifting of [US] sanctions" on Syria. (clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023120)

A top UN expert says these sanctions are "suffocating." (news.un.org/en/story/2022/…)
@JamaalBowmanNY @IlhanMN @PramilaJayapal @RoKhanna @AOC The measure also praises the Al Qaeda-allied White Helmets and reaffirms supports for the neocon Caesar Act sanctions.

Since "The Squad" lacks the minimal decency to oppose murderous sanctions, they should at least find the honesty to change their name to The Sadists.
@JamaalBowmanNY @IlhanMN @PramilaJayapal @RoKhanna @AOC These "progressives" are siding with the Trump neocons who imposed the sanctions.

Trump envoy James Jeffrey bragged that US sanctions "crushed" Syria's economy, while @Andrewtabler noted that US sanctions "exacerbated fuel and food shortages for everyday Syrians." #FraudSquad
