.@FBI says it's permanently closing the file to FOIA requests about notorious Boston gangster Whitey Bulger - a file chock full raw information about corruption between the city's murderous organized crime figures and the Bureau itself. bostonherald.com/2024/03/28/fbi…
@FBI “The whole thing was corrupt from the get-go,” said Janet Uhlar, a juror on Bulger’s 2013 trial. “They put out a lie. He [Bulger] was never an informant, he bought information from the @FBI.”
The Boston Herald (certainly not the Globe) is appealing the @FBI's decision to cover up the information about Bulger's involvement with the Bureau.
“'It’s a joke,' said Steve Davis ... 'There’s no way in hell they shouldn’t tell all. It’s not right to all of the loved ones of victims still looking for answers.'
"Davis has fought for victims’ rights ever since his sister, Debra, was reportedly slain by Bulger in 1981 – when [John 'Zip'] Connolly was Whitey’s FBI handler."
@FBI This Boston Herald photo shows mass murderer Whitey Bulger in the same types of handcuffs, belly chains, and leg irons that the @FBI used recently to shackle journalist Steve Baker @TPC4USA for reporting unauthorized facts from the US Capitol. Any comment, Steve?
@FBI @TPC4USA Somehow, advance word got to inmates at a federal prison in West Virginia that Whitey Bulger was being sent there from Florida, and his murder-by-bludgeon in the high-security facility was planned before his arrival.🤔 abcnews.go.com/Politics/white…
@FBI @TPC4USA A fan of Steve "Whitey Bulger" Baker just sent this "fixed" picture.

Let's dissect this important article on 🇺🇦 by my colleagues @AnIllarionov and @morganwirthlin.
"Biden already has the authority to send roughly the same amount of aid he is demanding from Congress in the ’emergency’ supplemental bill."
What’s in the bill? Few proponents have even bothered to read the it. My colleagues have.
"The supplemental bill provides funds through three main channels: the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI), Foreign Military Financing (FMF), and the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA)."
Te $13.8 billion for USAI until September 30, 2025, or 1-1/2 fiscal years.
FMF provides only $1.6 billion for Ukraine AND OTHER COUNTRIES, for 1-1/2 fiscal years.
PDA is capped at $7.8 billion GLOBALLY through September 30, not only for 🇺🇦, but for 🇮🇱, 🇹🇼, and anywhere else POTUS designates. (continued)
"According to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report, the USAI and FMF funds in the current bill will be spent in annual increments over the next 10 years, from 2024 to 2033."
This means that ALMOST NOTHING in the present "emergency" bill to 🇺🇦 will go to 🇺🇦 soon.
Biden has not spent - nor has Ukraine pleaded for - the USAI funds that CONGRESS HAS ALREADY PROVIDED.
Illarionov and Wirthlin continue:
"Of the $18.9 billion of USAI funding in fiscal years 2022 and 2023, production orders had been placed for only $12.3 billion, as of Jan. 15, 2024. More than a third of the funds, $6.6 billion, have yet to be used in the 18 months since congressional authorization."

2) The central theme is that democracy is under attack and that climate change is a crisis to endanger the earth.
It presumes that central government should "deliver basic necessities" and not simply ensure the conditions for the people to deliver those necessities.
3) The circle model shows a "temperate zone," not of government by the consent of the governed, but "that those ruled ought to have a say in their rulers."
Narrator describes a technocracy "that rulers should be accountable to rule of law" but not to the people or constitution.
Boston Globe finds that Massachusetts dumps illegal aliens on the middle class and spares wealthy liberal towns. bostonglobe.com/2024/02/09/met…
They voted for this.
Massachusetts is a sanctuary state with a "right to shelter" law.
“The sense is that wealthier communities are not bearing any of the burden,” said Taunton Mayor Shaunna O’Connell, whose city has a median household income of about $89,800. “When you suddenly have 300 or 400 new people coming to your city, it puts a strain on services. . . . Communities like Newton or Wellesley could bear some of the obligation that we are under.”
The state of Massachusetts doesn't even tell the middle-class towns to prepare for the dumping of illegal aliens.
It works out contracts behind the scenes with those who profit from the trafficking.
Boston Globe: "Local municipal leaders say they are often the last to know when the state decides to locate a new shelter site; the contracts are negotiated directly between the hotel owner and the state or, in many cases, a nonprofit."

This is called ideological infiltration of our intelligence services. It started with Stalin.
1) Excerpts from the important letter from 10 former top @FBI officials about the border crisis:
"we write to express our concern about a current, specific threat that may be one of the most pernicious ever to menace the United States." justthenews.com/sites/default/…
@FBI 2) "The danger arises from the nature of the threat itself. Wars and espionage and bombings and riots are sadly familiar delivery systems of instability, intimidation, and insecurity....
"The threat we call out today is new and unfamiliar."
@FBI 3) "In its modern history, the U.S. has never suffered an invasion of the homeland and, yet, one is unfolding now. Military aged men from across the globe, many from countries or regions not friendly to the United States, are landing in waves on our soil by the thousands...."
I'm starting a 🧵about the orchestrated hysteria that American democracy will end because Trump will become a murderous dictator if elected.
A lot of this is projection, anyway. We'll start with Eric Holder, who, as a student radical at Columbia University, held a dean hostage in solidarity with assorted Soviet-backed Third World revolutionaries and racial identity terrorists here at home. breitbart.com/politics/2024/…
