They finally figured it out. A shame most of the clowns using cryptos haven't.

I guess the pentagram figured they need african terrorists to serve as an excuse to further oppress the uppity blacks here at home.

Just like in Linebacker II, the goal is to disrupt the Afghan equivalent of the "ho chi minh" trail -- e.g. any of the mountain passes and so forth normal people use to travel to get things like medicine and food for their kids. Way to make friends as usual, pentagram.

Google actually admits it this time, funny enough. They've been doing this stuff for years.

Got arrested this time! He's probably causing trouble for Tymoshenko. Ukrainian politics are a complete farce.

See, they're not a sovereign nation so it's OK to bomb and kill them. Kind of how the USG treats every other country, yanno?

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION is considering a set of proposals developed by Blackwater founder Erik Prince and a retired CIA officer — with assistance from Oliver North, a key figure in the Iran-Contra scandal — to provide CIA Director Mike Pompeo and the White House with a global, private spy network that would circumvent official U.S. intelligence agencies...

You can't kill the devil with his own pitchfork.

But the round they made for it is a winner:

In 2015, SCO realized that the HVP, originally conceived as a specialized shell of the railgun, was just as effective when fired from a conventional powder cannons like the Army’s 105mm and 155mm M109A6 Paladin self-propelled howitzers and the Navy’s deck-mounted Mk 45 5-inch guns. A May 2016 report from the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessment found that large caliber guns could fire an HVP between 10 and 30 nautical miles at Mach 3, faster than conventional unguided rounds.

Just wait until it gets miniaturized into an AT rifle round. No armor will be safe.

With a shitcoin called the 'Petro'.

instead of a cryptocurrency, perhaps Maduro meant to unveil the world's first kleptocurrency instead?

Supposedly a big pow-wow in July told him of all the glorious fruits of empire. I'm sure they neglected to point out that the Cost pro-rated across taxpayers exceeds their gross margins, which would make any competent businessman cringe. Nevermind the fact that the NPV of the empire is negative. The only appeal that can be made is "hey did you know you are immune to insider trading laws like congress???"

Scott Horton explodes a virulent statist myth:

That’s why they couldn’t tell us: because their claims could not bear scrutiny. Because they were lies.

Abandon your false premise that the people who run the U.S. government care about you or this country any more than their sometimes-ally Ayman al Zawahiri does. They don’t.

Existing anti-missile systems almost never stop the warhead; rather they destroy the tube, which is no comfort to those who have the warhead dropped on them.

Saleh smoked by the Houthi within hours of flipping to Saudi. Sounds like they've got full control now; I assume nobody helped Saleh due to internal military intrigue combined with most of the people of Yemen hating Saudi 1000% at the moment for a variety of good reasons.

Considering the real story was about support for Israel, I hope the hashtag becomes #FakeJews

Apparently it can be prescribed with no problems. I'm guessing they heavily bribed the DEA.

"B..But we have no replacement that is as effective at killing civilians and causing collateral damage!"

Sounds like the Israelis are attempting to provoke a war with Assad, but don't want it to look like they shot first.

They even fucked up the root exploit patch.

I'm totally a puritan and am going to try to ban porn. Ignore the fact that my love life is literally a porn genre.

Of course, since they are "just a little more progressive, y'know" over there, the author devotes most of the article (after making the good point up front) to saying "golly gee it sure would be nice if we sent those Kurds some more 'Murica guns."

Sounds like they plan to fall back to Libya and give up on Syria and Iraq at this point.

Apparently the Russian that Flynn contacted was Sergey Kislyak, the a Russian Ambassador in DC at the time. Not sure it can stretch to a treason charge to talk to a diplomat, although lying to the FBI is definitely illegal. Anyways, the conversation Flynn and Kislyak had was about whether or not to condemn the latest Israeli settlements in Palestine. Trump wanted Russia on board to kill the vote (and hook up Kushner).

As far as "the real story" goes, however, the bit about Flynn getting paid 530k by an Erdogan associate to investigate Fetullah Gulen is likely what concerns Mueller more, as anyone investigating Gulen has a risk of stumbling on to the same things Sibel Edmonds did. If you'll recall, Mueller was the FBI chief at the time Edmonds blew the whistle on the FBI for covering up money laundering through Gulen-linked charities which wound up funding 9/11 hijacker prep.

"Clear, Hold and Build" is more accurately translated as "CLEANSE! PURGE! KILL!"
