Dear talk show hosts, pundits, and audience members… it’s really not that difficult or complicated. This is exactly how you handle a conversation with the Mike #Pompeo’s and Victoria #Nuland’s at your talk show tables. It’s actually pretty simple…
… Watch Jeffrey Sachs and John Mearsheimer show everyone how it's done.

USA's Kellogg & Pompeo are pushing full-on to turn NATO into an offensive organisation, where "allies" do as USA commands and attack whoever they decide to attack.
Get the fuck out of here. Take your military bases and bugger the hell out. You need us more than we need you.
Go on, ally with Russia then. Go ahead. Make my day. I'd rather go out fighting than kissing the ring of a clown king.

Trump’s Secretary of State, #Pompeo, said in 2019, when his boss started musing about buying Greenland: the melting of Arctic glaciers promises “opportunity and abundance”
Scientist Dr. Shubin has stated that this campaign is also about legitimizing #climatechangedenial, getting more people on board with an extraction-without-consequences mentality

● DOKTORO ESPERANTO
di e con Mario Migliucci
regia Giancarlo FaresIl Doktoro Esperanto è Lejzer Ludvik Zamenhof e questa è la sua storia. La storia di un uomo che vuole dare al mondo una voce unica, una voce umana. Come un laborioso artigiano, il Doktoro Esperanto, l’omino con gli occhiali, fabbrica il suo strumento e lo offre a chiunque lo voglia adoperare. Ma una lingua è uno strumento particolare, non si crea dall’oggi al domani. Questa è una storia fatta di torri e di uomini che le costruiscono. Come altri uomini prima di lui, Lejzer abbandona la pietra e sceglie il mattone. I Mattoni di Lejzer sono parole, e la sua lingua è l’esperanto.

Two prominent Republican senators have split with President Trump over his decisionto sever government security for former officials who are in Iran’s crosshairs.
Last week, Trump, 78, cut off funding for security for former Secretary of State Mike #Pompeo, ex-National Security Adviser John #Bolton and others.
Sens. #Lindsey #Graham of South Carolina and #Tom #Cotton of Arkansas, both outspoken GOP backers of Trump, are now encouraging the president to reevaluate that move.“If people are going to work for the president now on Iran or China or North Korea or the Mexican drug cartels,
they might hesitate to do so”
because of the security withdrawal, Cotton warned

Trump confirmed Friday he stripped security protections from former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, the latest in a pattern of retaliation against political adversaries.
🔥Why it matters:
All of Trump's targets have received death threats during a time of heightened political violence.The former NIAID director lost his protection late Thursday night.
Fauci has repeatedly been forthright about death threats against himself and his family. He's now hired his own security detail, per the New York Times.
"You can't have a security detail for the rest of your life because you worked for government," Trump said on Fox News on Friday, when asked about Fauci.
Between the lines: Former President Biden issued a preemptive pardon for Fauci on his last day in office, granting him broad immunity before Trump's term began.Fauci faced repeated political attacks from Trump and other Republicans over his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Trump's former national security adviser has faced death threats from Iran after being a fierce critic of the regime. In 2022 an Iranian national was charged in connection with a plot to assassinate Bolton.
"This is a matter that people should take seriously," Bolton told CNN's Jake Tapper.
Context: Bolton was vocal in his criticism of Trump after working with him during his first term and ahead of his new administration."It's certainly a downer for expressing your opposition to Donald Trump," Bolton said on CNN.
Trump's former secretary of state, like Bolton, faced threats from Iran, multiple outlets reported.
Pompeo has criticized Trump on fiscal and foreign policy and was not invited to join his second administration. However, Pompeo spent Trump's first week in office celebrating his win, Cabinet confirmations, and early executive orders.
🔸Zoom in: Pompeo's top aide #Brian #Hook also lost his security, per the reports.

In 2009, at the height of Operation Cast Lead – the Israeli attack on Gaza that killed more than 1,000 people – #Berg attended a pro-Israel demonstration in central London. Moreover, he even chastised the Israeli newspaper, The Jerusalem Post, for noting that only 5,000 people showed up to the event. In Berg’s opinion, there were three times as many in attendance. The BBC would later change its guidelines to prevent its newsroom employees from attending controversial demonstrations.
During Operation Cast Lead, the Israeli military was found to have indiscriminately targeted and killed civilians, used Palestinians as human shields, and used banned chemical weapons, such as white phosphorous, on civilian areas.
Three years later, in November 2012, Israel launched Operation Pillar of Defense, a high-profile, bloody assault on Gaza that made worldwide headlines. As Israel bombarded the densely-populated civilian area, Berg went on his own internal offensive, telling his BBC colleagues to word their stories in a way that does not blame or “put undue emphasis” on Israel. Instead, leaked emails show, he encouraged journalists to present the attack as an operation “aimed at ending rocket fire from Gaza,” thereby framing #Hamas as the aggressor.
...
The implications of former U.S. national security state operatives dictating global media output are profound. This is not least because the State Department and CIA are among the world’s most notoriously dishonest and perfidious institutions, regularly injecting lies and false information into public discourse to further Washington’s ambitions. As Mike #Pompeo, former Director of the CIA and then-Secretary of State, said in 2019:
"When I was a cadet, what’s the cadet motto at West Point? You will not lie, cheat, or steal or tolerate those who do. I was the CIA director. We lied, we cheated, we stole. We had entire training courses [on] it!”

Others in the Trump inner circle who made their fortunes via privately held ventures include treasury secretary
#Steven T. #Mnuchin, who got a great deal during the financial crisis on IndyMac, a mortgage lending bank,
thanks to our government’s penchant for the socialization of risk and privatization of profit when entities considered “too big to fail” go into a state of distress.Mnuchin and his fellow investors, a group that included liberal donor and hedge-fund honcho George Soros, changed the company name to #OneWest and began to aggressively foreclose on homeowners.
The bank earned Mnuchin and his partners a profit of $1.6 billion in its first year of operation,
even as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was preparing to take a hit of nearly $11 billion “on bad loans that the Pasadena institution made before it was sold last March and renamed OneWest Bank,” according to E. Scott Reckard of the Los Angeles Times.Then there’s commerce secretary #Wilbur #Ross, worth $2.5 billion according to Forbes, who started a second career in 2000 with the creation of his eponymous investment company,
which he later sold to Invesco for a reported $375 million.#Reed #Cordish, special assistant to the president for intragovernmental and technology initiatives, is a scion of the family that owns privately held Cordish Companies,
involved in gaming and entertainment.
He’s said to be tight with Jared Kushner.#Sonny #Perdue, Trump’s secretary of agriculture, founded the private company Perdue Inc., a trucking outfit,
with his wife, Mary, who was reported in 2005 to be the company’s sole shareholder.
(An official at Perdue Inc. declined to confirm to The Baffler whether this is still the case.)And, while not a rich guy himself, CIA director #Mike #Pompeo founded a private company called #Thayer #Aerospace in the late 1990s with help from Koch Venture Capital, an arm of Koch Industries.
A Pompeo aide told the Washington Post that the Koch investment amounted to only 2 percent,
but there’s no way to really know, since the transaction took place between two privately held companies.
He later became president of #Sentry #International, another private company, before his 2010 run for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, which he won, again with an assist from the Koch brothers.
He’s also a climate-change denier—an appealing trait in a public official if you’re a fossil fuels magnate looking to buy one -

Let's look at the motivation for #Trump to agree with the #Taliban, and release 5000 imprisoned fighters.
Was it to massage Trump's ego? Probably not.
Was it a promise from the Taliban that they'd allow a peaceful exit of US and Western forces and equipment from Afghanistan. Could Trump and Mike #Pompeo be that stupid?
Or was it the many #billions of dollars directly linked to the #opiate trade? Billions that siphoned off into bank accounts god-knows-where?

Trump can't let go of anything.
I hope he sinks straight to Hell because of it.
Those 13 soldiers died in Afghanistan because #Trump cut troop levels to 2500 for Iraq and Afghanistan COMBINED, and RELEASED 5000 Taliban terrorists from prison right when he lost the 2000 election.
Did he do this deliberately, out spite knowing the problems it could cause?
Or did #Trump and #Pompeo do it for a cut on the opiod trade?

In the summer of 2017, as the special counsel Robert S. #Mueller III was starting his investigation, his agents and prosecutors were chasing potentially explosive allegations about foreign influence over Donald J. #Trump and his campaign.
C.I.A. intelligence relayed to the special counsel’s office suggested that senior leaders of a foreign adversary had signed off on ♦️secretly funneling millions of dollars
— with the help of a Trump campaign adviser acting as “a bag man”
— to Mr. Trump in the final days of the 2016 election.♦️Interviews and other evidence obtained by the special counsel’s office showed that indeed 💥Mr. Trump had lent his campaign a similar amount of money in the final days of the race
— and, after beating Hillary Clinton, Mr. 🔥Trump immediately struck a far more favorable tone toward the country than his predecessors.The country in question, however, was not Russia. It was #Egypt.
Seven years after Mr. Mueller’s team dug in on those allegations, people familiar with the investigation acknowledged that while much of the country’s attention was focused on ties between Mr. Trump’s campaign and Russia,
the most concrete lead Mr. Mueller’s team initially had about potential foreign influence over Mr. Trump involved Egypt.The Egypt investigation would outlast Mr. Mueller’s inquiry, which shut down in 2019.
It was picked up by career prosecutors in the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, who closed it out in the summer of 2020 without pursuing any charges.
Details about the depth and breadth of the investigation have trickled out over the years.
CNN laid out major elements of the investigation in October 2020, including that there was a secret legal fight between the Justice Department and an Egyptian bank.
The Washington Post on Friday disclosed further details, reporting that
five days before Mr. Trump took office in 2017
👉an organization linked to Egyptian intelligence withdrew $10 million in cash
from a bank in Cairo
— the same amount that the C.I.A. had been told was given to Mr. Trump in the final days of his campaign.The report about the withdrawal was confirmed to The New York Times by a person briefed on the investigation.
The investigation started in the days after the 2016 election when the C.I.A. learned from a trusted confidential source that senior Egyptian leaders — 🔸including President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi — had signed off on
💥sending $10 million to Mr. Trump’s cash strapped campaign.The Egyptian leaders, investigators would be told, had in mind someone in Mr. Trump’s orbit to move the money:
a Trump campaign foreign policy adviser named #Walid #Phares, who had frequently appeared on Fox News.
The F.B.I. opened an investigation into Mr. Phares, with investigators trying to understand whether he was “a #bag #man.”
Mr. Trump’s first C.I.A. director, Mike #Pompeo, was briefed on the details of the agency’s intelligence.
In May 2017, Mr. Mueller was appointed special counsel after questions were raised about Mr. Trump’s attempts to interfere in F.B.I. investigations into his ties to Russia.
Mr. Mueller was given a mandate to investigate Russia’s effort to influence the 2016 election -- and ties that four Trump campaign advisers had to Russia.
What the public did not know at the time was that Mr. Mueller had also been given the job of investigating Mr. Phares -- and the intelligence suggesting that Egypt had sought to funnel money to Mr. Trump.
Throughout the investigation, Mr. Mueller’s team was confronted with a range of allegations about Mr. Trump’s ties to Russia.
But, in the eyes of some agents and prosecutors working on Mr. Mueller’s team, the intelligence about Egypt was far firmer than anything they had related to Mr. Trump and Russia.
At the time,
👉Mr. Trump was threatening to fire Mr. Mueller, drawing a red line around his personal finances.Mr. Mueller’s investigators did devote significant resources to looking at Mr. Phares,
who had told Trump campaign advisers that he could broker meetings between the Egyptian government and the campaign.Mr. Phares also took credit for arranging a September 2016 meeting between Mr. Trump and Mr. el-Sisi, which investigators later examined.
American intelligence agencies had learned what agents and analysts thought was potentially corroborating evidence:
🌟that there were questions atop the Egyptian government whether Mr. Phares could be trusted to deliver the money.When Mr. Mueller’s Russia inquiry wound down, he referred the still-open Egyptian case to Justice Department prosecutors, who picked up where he left off.
It was around that same time that U.S. officials learned of the $10 million bank withdrawal in Cairo by the group linked to Egyptian intelligence agencies, sparking more suspicions among investigators.

#Trump already made many public offices venal
A million dollars bought Gordon #Sondland the job for US amb to #EU, where he boasted he had come to “destroy the #EuropeanUnion"
Sondland testified he operated at express direction of Trump and that #Pompeo knew about the shakedown scheme to hold back #Ukraine aid in return for fake investigations of #HunterBiden
He also implicated #Pence, #Giuliani, #Bolton… “Everyone was in the loop,” he said TWICE
