“There are only 3 ways you ever see the full truth:

—A whistleblower with total access defects.
—A massive hack (Panama Papers scale or larger).
—A survivor possesses documents no one knew existed and drops them publicly.
That’s it.

The system itself will never willingly reveal the rot inside it.”
I just published the deepest thing I’ve ever written on the Epstein files...and it explains EXACTLY why they will never fully come out. Not in your lifetime. Maybe never. 👇

Your regular reminder that anyone calling Ukraine a proxy is ignorant or disingenuous. Ukraine has held back Ru military aggression for 11+ yrs completely alone; secured moderate Western aid since 2022 through tireless advocacy; and has now defied US diplomatic pressure to surrender for over 10mo.

schmitt’s derisive mention of “color revolution” is a good clue as to the nature of his information environment
Sen. Eric Schmitt: "This is the language of a color revolution where you're calling on military men and women to disobey orders."

Yeah. I just can’t even figure why anyone, left OR right, would say “color revolution” unironically. Do…do they not know the origins? It’s bizarre. But as Jamelle says, it’s just a clear tell that they’ve cooked their brains in bad environments.

It is the birthday in 1949 of the American author and illustrator Jan Brett. If you’ve gotten books for a child in the last 30 years, you know her work. Her titles include "The Mitten," "The Hat," "Gingerbread Baby," and "Who’s That Knocking on Xmas Eve?"

Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Sec. 18.3.2.1 states the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders.

What’s its key example? Wait for it . . . It’s "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."
