This is just the beginning, I promise you: an open letter to Donald Trump | Liam Rosenior

Lastly, the target selection seems kind of weird. Higuerote Airfield, some comms towers, La Guaira warehouses, Maracay Airbase. These could have been diversions for the helicopter raid into Caracas. They do not appear strategically significant compared to Fort Tiuna.

This was going to be the Nathan Gill defence but his lawyers laughed at him so he admitted his guilt.
Corruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.

Russia was not a hoax
TODAY the NYT publishes an investigation into the Trump memecoin $TRUMP and how it has turned into a extraordinary venue for foreign influence campaigns. What we are seeing is potentially corrupt attempts to change US policy by paying the Trump family money. This is no "Russian Hoax" nyti.ms/4kkv7D7
Auction to Dine With Trump Creates Foreign Influence Opportunity (Gift Article)
When the bidding stops Monday, the top buyers of a Trump family crypto coin will win a tour of the White House.

“Farage had an uneasy end to the year”
Where “uneasy” = exposed as racist with corrupt/traitorous links to Russia and useless at running councils.
But no worries. They’ll just join forces with the failed Tories to “end the left wing tyranny.”
They can all go to hell.

Jack Smith told House committee he had ‘proof beyond reasonable doubt’ in cases against Trump
Ex-special counsel testified in front of judiciary committee about aborted federal prosecution of Donald Trump
Jack Smith, the former justice department special counsel who led the aborted federal prosecution of Donald Trump, told a congressional committee that he never spoke to Joe Biden about his cases, according to the transcript of a deposition released on Wednesday.
In his behind-closed-doors testimony to the House judiciary committee earlier this month, Smith defended the charges he brought against Trump for allegedly possessing classified documents and attempting to overturn the 2020 election, while warning of the consequences of allowing election meddling to go unpunished.

Postie brought a leaflet from Reform UK today, in Glasgow. Incl a 2nd Class postage paid envelop. If you get one, remember to post the envelop back to them, empty or perhaps with a special message. Every envelop returned will cost them 85p. If every Glasgow household does that, cost will be £250K 😂
