"Bandera Readings" right before Ru reinvaded Ukr sound like propaganda: "West gives nationalists guns because we're the only ones ready to destroy Ru. We love to fight, kill - start a war unlike any in 60 years. Imagine if Ru falls apart, we come to power" youtu.be/03AqKuCg96I

I have been informed that Air Force One is not based on a book by Clancy. I blame decades of lies from my parents and my own lack of research.

I'm watching the classic romantic comedy Air Force One while on a bus in the Baltics. The movie is, naturally, bonkers, but I can't help but wonder what Tom Clancy would think of current US foreign policy, considering his deep throughline of American exceptionalism.

TOO OBSCURE TO MATTER John "Frenchy" Grombach, who headed the small intel organization called The Pond, got his start as a bouncer in a New Orleans brothel as a teenager before attending West Point.

It is Patty Morin, mother of Rachel Morin. The link you shared is from an earlier Oval Office meeting. This video is from the Feb 23 Angel Families Remembrance Ceremony, where Trump paused to ask about her health and the cataract surgery he funded (scheduled soon after). Confirmed by White House pool reports, Fox News, Newsweek, NY Post, and others.

Trump gets distracted and starts complimenting Zohran Mamdani: "The communist mayor of New York City... I think he's a nice guy, actually. I speak to him a lot"

The woman in the video is Patty Morin, mother of Rachel Morin (murdered by an illegal immigrant in 2023). During a Feb 23 White House Angel Families ceremony, Trump was ranting about NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's snow response policies when he spotted her in the audience, paused to ask about her health, and noted he'd paid for her cataract surgery so she'd have "20/20 vision." The clip captures her reaction shot.

@Volod_Ishchenko @fabrice_deprez Many were wrong. Especially those of us who didn't think it would even happen until Putin said the magic word "denazify" and poof! All rationales vanish

@fabrice_deprez Yeah, Kofman really is “inimitable” in the way he has been consistently wrong on practically all the major military developments in this war, yet somehow still manages to be treated as its ultimate expert.

"Ukraine’s goal is to make the war futile for Russia by minimizing territorial losses, pushing Russian casualties higher than the numbers Moscow can recruit, and increasing the economic costs such that the war is unsustainable."
Alexander Gabuev 陳寒士@AlexGabuev

Great analytical baseline on where the Russia-Ukraine war stands militarily as it enters its fifth year, and what to watch in 2026. By inimitable @CarnegieEndow colleague @KofmanMichael in @ForeignAffairs. foreignaffairs.com/russia/ukraine…

@realmattcloud @timfattig Capell was an early recruiter for what became the "myth of the six million" - easy to sense how intent he was on all his bad guys being not just commies, but Jews too

@timfattig If nothing else, helpful to recall that the anti-communists were no fans of Kissinger either.

A pioneering crank and ‘zine publisher, Frank Alphonse Capell, wrote a series of sensational booklets in the ‘60s and ‘70s that ran the gamut from blaming Marilyn’s death on Bobby Kennedy (“The Strange Death of Marilyn Monroe”) to suggesting Henry Kissinger was a KGB agent (“The Kissinger Caper”). Capell’s obituary noted an interesting if unusual background for someone with a stated interest in exposing the secrets of those in government: he’d been an intelligence officer for Douglas Aircraft, an investigator for the Westchester County sheriff’s department for eight years, and belonged to the Knights of Malta. In 1965, in the pages of his newsletter The Herald of Freedom, Capell took on the subject of the JFK assassination. (Central N.J. Home News, 10/20/80.)

@RazorMouse @timfattig Respectfully disagree: accounts of the time testify to at least a passing similarity between Seymour/Oswald, that "Lorenzo" Hall trained Cuban raiders in Spanish, and "the Mexican" Howard definitely looks Latino

If you are one of those who believe the Odio incident actually happened— and not everyone does— do you think the “historical” person named Lee Harvey Oswald was one of the men who visited Cuban exile Silvia Odio in Dallas near the end of September 1963? And if not, do you think Oswald was being impersonated by someone else on that occasion, or do you think Silvia Odio was simply mistaken in her identification?

@RepLuna You never looked into what Gerry Hemming's photo was doing in a roll of Minox film in Ruth Paine's garage that I had developed.

The JFK declassification has led to bombshell revelations that will forever change the historical narrative of this tragic event regarding multiple shooters, multiple bullet wounds, and CIA involvement. None of this would have been possible without the efforts of @jeffersonmorley and countless others who contributed to our investigation. Thank you.
