@briebriejoy Bari Weiss hasn't flipped on this.

"What frustrates me is that you have people like Brett Stevens & Bari Weiss, who for a long time have been saying, 'The intellectual discomfort is on university campuses is good -- that people should listen to ideas that they find really challenging and really difficult and that's what education is about.' And there's a really clear line between that & personally going up to someone & harassing them or threatening with violence...But just because someone is making a series of statements that you disagree with, that's not the same, right?" @PeterBeinart on college campus culture - FREE CLIP HERE: youtube.com/watch?v=XLSdRo…

John Duffy interviews former FBI counter terror agent Mark Rossini about Hamas and the ethos of terrorism. open.substack.com/pub/thedevilma…

Bin Laden was wealthy. All 9-11 hijacker pilots came from privilege. Terrorists are typically middle class and well educated, despite what we might presume. Why? open.spotify.com/episode/2PcLMQ…

@Thomas_Drake1 Thanks for the hat tip Thomas. If people are interested, here is a video of us interviewing White House Counter Terror advisor Richard Clarke about CIA running an illegal op in the US to flip Al Qaeda members. youtube.com/watch?v=bl6w1Y…

Today on 9/11 of 22 yrs ago remains a most sobering day in my life — & also my 1st day on the job at NSA as senior exec. All the intel indications & warnings? Buried in a sea of data, ignored & covered up. Unleashed GWOT, mass surveillance, torture & Iraq invasion. @WatchdogsBook

In 2009, White House Counterterror “Tsar” Richard Clarke told us he believed the CIA was running an illegal operation in the US trying to flip Al-Qaeda hijackers. Please retweet today. youtube.com/watch?v=bl6w1Y…

John Duffy started a new podcast diving into the details. #NATO expansion, #UkraineRussiaWar. Listen here: open.substack.com/pub/thedevilma…

@_AdamFitzgerald The problem is an inability to parse valuable information from total horseshit. The former is usually nuanced and boring while the latter is simple and sexy. The truther tale is more fun, despite being preposterous.

@briebriejoy Trump throws everything at the wall and the goes with what sticks. He has no values or principles. Democrats trying to gotcha him on this are like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football.

Now the CNN panel is focusing on all the wrong things. Look, I think the China Town comments are bigoted, I think the election denial is anti democratic etc. But his voters don't like him bc they think he's MLK. You have to attack him on his faux populism:

Russia is far more democratic than Ukraine. Russia's government isn't the product of a U.S.-backed coup, nor is it infested with fascists. NAFO trolls can cry abt it.

@rustyrockets In 2017 we released a book detailing how the CIA hid Al Qaeda operatives inside the US. Here is our 2009 interview with the White House’s Richard Clarke who suggests CIA Dir. Tenet may have run an illegal operation In the US. youtube.com/watch?v=bl6w1Y…

Our 2011 podcast and subsequent 2017 book ‘The Watchdogs Didn’t Bark,’ covered this issue in depth, backed by interviews with insiders like @richardclarke @Thomas_Drake1 @MarkRossini and @JohnKiriakou. Glad the story is back in the news, but it’s not news.

@VerumGladio @MaxBlumenthal Thank you!

A light-hearted discussion with Russell about new testimony showing the CIA recruited two would-be 9/11 hijackers and refused to tell the FBI they were in the US, and US plans to destroy Taiwan’s semi-conductor industry in the event of a war with China.

@elonmusk There are many other names, too. Did you know Daniel Hale is still in prison for revealing 9 out of 10 drone casualties were bystanders rather than targets? He did a remarkable and heroic thing. When did you last hear his name on TV? It's a real problem. theintercept.com/2021/07/27/dan…

On the #9-11 anniversary we must remember that the CIA and NSA hid at least 2 hijackers from the FBI for a year. @richardclarke former White House counter-terror ‘tsar’ said George Tenet likely signed off on this off-book operation. It’s all in our book.

I guess we finally know what #AlfredaBikowsky looks like. reuters.com/world/exclusiv… Thanks @AramRoston
