Guy isn't just making it tough for democracy and progress in the US, he's making it tough for democracy globally.

The gas station X mafia state masquerading as a country which has long been the hand that fed him, must be happy.

Absolutely teeth gritting but essential read if you like democracy and don't understand how America got itself into this mess.

It is amazing how nearly all U.S. news now is marked by endless bouts of crisis, confrontation, and standoffs, not imposed by any outside circumstances, but by the government of the United States itself: purposely in order to divide and weaken the country.
What a disastrous self-own by the voters.

If millions of American don't seem to have a clue as to what is really going on, that's no accident. It's part of a Russian assault--aided by Donald Trump-- that's been in the works for some time. open.substack.com/pub/craigung...

One of our leading water and climate scientistsโ€”National Academy of Sciences member Peter Gleickโ€”is out here doing what all of scientists and public intellectuals are called to do: stand up for our common humanity, explicate and condemn profound injustices.

Social entropy is highly toxic. Working with it in our own homes is not recommended. It needs to be removed somewhere far away. Exported for disposal on foreign soil.
Exporting chaos is nothing new. "Divide and rule" is an ancient formula. Division is synonymous with chaos. Unite your own + divide the enemy = you will rule both. Relieving internal tension (which Lev Gumilev vaguely called passionarity) through external expansion. The Romans did it. All empires do it. For centuries, the Russian state, with its harsh and sedentary political interior, survived solely through a relentless pursuit of its own borders. It long ago forgot how, and most likely never knew how, to survive by other means. For Russia, constant expansion is not just an idea, but a genuine existential imperative of our historical existence.

In 2021, Surkov explained that, in order to keep the order (Putinโ€™s rule) inside the country, Russia had to export chaos outside by sowing division in other countries. "Social entropy is highly toxic. Working with it in our own homes is not recommended. It needs to be removed somewhere far away."

Iโ€™m confused how it is despicable to ask that question. These are exactly the kinds of questions we have been begging reporters & TV hosts to ask. You see when they do get asked how sensitive they are about it. Much, much more of this. More crypto questions, Qatar, UAE, etc bsky.app/profile/atru...

3/In other words, according to Vasquez, Epstein saw Trump Model Management as a prototype to emulate while working with Brunel to lure minors in to participate in sexual activity for money.

"Jeffrey Epstein...was giving instructions to Jean-Luc [Brunel]," she testified, "saying that he wanted to have the same contracts as, uh--what's his name, of Donald Trump[an apparent reference to Trump Model Management], and that he wanted to have the same kind of benefits for the scouters."

1/More specifically, as I report in American Kompromat, "According to a sworn deposition in 2010 by MC2 bookkeeper Maritza Vasquez, directives came to her "from the office of Jeffrey Epstein' with instructions that they be forwarded to [Jean-Luc] Brunel as models for MC2's contracts."
