“The FBI’s penetration of Twitter constituted just one part of a much larger intelligence operation—one in which the bureau offshored the machinery it used to interfere in the 2016 election and embedded it within the private sector. The resulting behemoth, still being built today, is a public-private consortium made up of U.S. intelligence agencies, Big Tech companies, civil society institutions, and major media organizations that has become the world’s most powerful spy service—one that was powerful enough to disappear the former president of the United States from public life, and that is now powerful enough to do the same or worse to anyone else it chooses…”

BIDEN’S NEOCONS FACING FOREIGN POLICY MELTDOWN
7 minutes readGarland examines the many vectors indicating that US foreign policy is doomed to a huge failure in the near future, not just a defeat, as in Vietnam or Afghanistan, but a rank-systemic setback liable to trigger a much-awaited global realignment and the dethroning of the current Hegemon.

All of those nations will be targets of Russian &/or Chinese nuclear weapons unless becoming neutral (or even switching to be against the U.S. Government) before that time comes.

None of its vassal-nations has any credible shred of national sovereignty remaining.

CAUGHT! Dem Congressman (Adam Schiff) DEMANDED Twitter Ban Journalists! w/Matt Taibbi
5 minutes readDuring the Trump impeachment proceedings, Democratic Congressman and Chair of the House Intelligence Committee Adam Schiff talked a good game about “American values” and the like, but when he decided he didn’t like certain journalists and tried to get them banned from social media outlets, well, maybe that whole “freedom of the press” thing wasn’t quite so important after all. In the latest Twitter Files dump, journalist Matt Taibbi reveals the efforts Schiff made to silence journalists who were a bit too “oppositional.” Guest host Aaron Maté and Taibbi discuss the journalists targeted by Schiff and how Twitter responded to the demands.
