Nice place.

The suicide of one of the investigators is a bit of a ???, but otherwise I'm not sure why this is a huge scandal unless the detective agency which was involved was both told to break the law in their investigation and did so (instead of telling Credit Suisse to pound sand).

Considering their "buddy buddy" relationship with the anglosphere, one wonders if the "official denial is the best confirmation" canard holds true with the Saudis as well. Scott Horton also has interviewed Nasser Araybee about the situation, which offers another interesting perspective on the operation.

Seems the comedian prez realized he was fucked no matter what and decided to go with Team Russia and recognize DPR/LPR autonomy.

Seems the Turkish flip is complete. The Israel - US - Saudi alliance for making the Syrian state a wahabbi sultanate has failed unless they go for a major escalation, this time not using only proxy forces.

How do you think THE MAN intends to take your AR-15? A non-existent gun registry?

Adventures of the "Guy who just started paying attention." Sounds like this analyst used the same methods the IOUSA guys did.

What, is he gonna replace Powell with the crazed money printer Bernanke? Bad sign regardless.

Unsurprising that BoJo knows where his bread is buttered.

Indeed. That man is a cockroach. Expect to see him pop up once again.

UPDATE: Bolton already replaced... by another unhinged NeoCon.

Memo exonerating Flynn of being a Russian agent does not exonerate him of being a Turkish agent, which is what he pled to. Even I was unaware of that bit. Now this has my mind thinking of whether the real story is about Gladio B. If it really is about that, then what Wheeler is thinking may be revealed will never be revealed for reasons of national security.

At a certain point, the old phrase "Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your reputation" comes to mind. At the least, Quinn's judgement seems really questionable to me here.

Sounds like the op is getting cleaned up pretty promptly.

The "crazy like a fox" BoJo meme seems to be becoming more accurate.

Not really sure that'd be a good move. Who would they replace him with? Avigdor Lieberman? Sounds more like face saving activity to me.

At this point, trusting any stories on it seems out of the question. The only thing I can take to the bank on this is that when push comes to shove, nobody can seriously think the Chinese government can't crush this if they want to.

Interesting to see Luke Rudowski's video on the latest, however, despite him seeming to take some of the reporting at face value. Good on him getting on the ground there, regardless. Much better chance of getting something resembling a true story now that he's over there.

Certainly reeks of the man.

Undeterred, the IDF has employed a new strategy of replacing real soldiers with dolls.

what

What just happened…:
Ilhan Omar officially supports BDS because she claims “Israel is occupying land and stealing homes”
While she literally:
Occupied another woman’s home, in her absence, and stole her husband.

Not the most flattering portrait, but what do you expect from a politician?

I bit of a dick move by BoJo, but understandable given his position.

Sounds like Nasrallah is now actively looking to have a "reason for war" by responding to the Israelis' latest escalation of threat with a matching escalation.

Watch for mobilizations on both sides as the year proceeds, likely in time for a spring 2020 campaign.

Get that phys, bitchezzz

Funded by none other than the man himself. Unsurprising.

One of the cops charged in Tuttle murder. One charged for tampering with documents. Still not sounding like the full list of people likely responsible for the crime, but at the least we can know who the fall guys get to be.

It's well known that TX cities (especially in the Dallas area) routinely just buy the homeless a bus ticket to cites they know will tolerate them. Certainly it's a step up from what TX used to do before the late 90s/early 2000s -- jail them for vagrancy.

Still, the fact that TX knew they'd accept this type of exiling and that the situation has persisted for as long as it has suggests that CA isn't really interested in solving the homelessness problem. Sure, TX solves it "in the most ass way possible" by either exile or imprisonment, but that doesn't give CA a "blank check" to waste hundreds of millions of dollars a year yet still fail to address the problem. Considering the state the homeless share over in LA, even establishing a penal colony on marginal land they have likely would have been an improvement on the situation (sadly). OH WAIT, 90%+ of land in CA is federally "protected" or otherwise artificially limited from colonization. No wonder they can't afford to get housed.
