This very straight news piece buried deep within the FT never uses words like corruption or insider dealing but every detail is quietly devastating. Why is the FT virtually alone in the UK media in covering this important story?

It has been this way since time immemorial. Spending a billion a day on a ‘not’ war. Meanwhile, all you suckers can starve, die because you can’t afford healthcare or find new treatments for disease. And who the fuck needs education and arts? We aren’t mad enough!!

DHS repeatedly said that an aggressive apartment raid in Chicago last fall was prompted by intel on a gang takeover. Documents show the real story behind the raid was to target alleged squatters — with the landlord's blessing.

Seems like a great day for my favorite Robert Burns poem: Epigram -- Thanksgiving for a National Victory Ye hypocrites! are these your pranks? To murder men and give God thanks! Desist, for shame!—proceed no further; God won’t accept your thanks for Murther!

They’re now speaking about it openly.

Trump basically saying they're planning the same move in Iran as they did in Venezuela - decapitate the leadership and offer the underlings their lives in replacement for access to their oil/resources. Basically mafia extortion. #Iran #Israel #US #Trump
