Today's thread will be on WRATH👹⚔️: how the mob uses violence and threats of violence to control people.
First we'll start at the individual level, with one-one-one violence. The mafia has always "sent messages" with murders. Here's an example:
A fucked up thing is that the MOB also wants to desensitize us to violence. They want us living in our animal brains, with our baser insticts- like them. Do you think it's an accident that the very violent MMA/UFC has made it into the mainstream?
WRATH comes out when you expose mobsters for the scum-sucking bottom feeders they are. Brave journalist, Daphne Caruana Galizia, to whom we ALL owe a debt, was intimidated & then murdered for shining light on the TRUTH of what the mob was up to in Malta. bbc.com/news/world-eur…
I have no doubts in my mind about who ordered her murder.
Mobsters don't like to be exposed for the disgusting inhumane monsters they are.
I pray she knows so many others are fighting on to shine light on the monsters she worked so hard to expose.
Journalists are targetted "deliberately" for the mob because the mob wants to 1) stop journalists from digging and 2) scare other people into not becoming journalists. telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/12/1…
We move on from violence against single individuals, to my personal Kryptonite, which is violence as a means to a propaganda end.
I've researched a lot of other really really awful things the mob does but nothing quite makes my blood boil like this: telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews…
I don't think ANYTHING could make me angrier than the use of innocent civilians as cannon fodder for a stupid propaganda-based war ie Narrative Control.
Makes me want to vomit in all the mobsters' shoes: dw.com/en/us-blames-r…
OK now we move from ground wars and information wars to Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Because the MOB actually does traffic in those.
For example: medium.com/@ninaandtito/b…
And then, of course, we get to state-sponsored terror.
Like the apartment bombings in Russia that helped Putin keep his hold on power. Like 9/11. Like the ILLEGAL annexation of Crimea.
This is a difficult topic and I'm exhausted, so I'll direct you to this brilliant thread, and bid you goodnight.
This ends our brief tour of WRATH. 👹⚔️
Tomorrow, we look at ENVY: #MobDepravity.
here's how I imagine the strategy meeting went:
PR1: "SHIT THE ALFA SERVER STORY IS OUT WE GOTTA DISTRACT DISTRACT DISTRACT!"
PR2: "LET'S THROW SOME ALL BLACK PEOPLE LOOK THE SAME CHUM INTO THE WATERS OF THE LEFT SO THEY DON'T FOCUS ON THE RUSSIAN MOB INFILTRATION OF OUR GOV'T!"
Buh Lou what are you taaallking about?
The Hill lets people who are REGISTERED (and unregistered) FOREIGN AGENTS PUBLISH PROPAGANDA IN THEIR OUTLET. Do you think they have any ethical standards? That'd be a big fat NO.
PS. google "the hill" + "Wilbur Ross"
ALFA SERVER STORY IS OUT.
"Better late than never" says a friend.
Was There a Connection Between a Russian Bank and the Trump Campaign? newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…
The New York Times:
Published a Putin Op-Ed on Syria in 2013.
Failed the nation in 2016.
Headlines matter. @nytimes: SHAME. SHAME. SHAME.
Bauman is an advocate for offshoring money to avoid taxes.
SO WE ARE CLEAR:
Tax avoidance is why our infrastructure is crumbling. Tax avoidance is a form of greed. Tax avoidance is unpatriotic. Tax avoidance is what's gonna get alllllllll the bad guys. #FATCAgonnagetcha
Bauman's wife Carol Dawson (their marriage was annulled in 1983), and he were deeply involved with Young Americans for Freedom, aka YAF, and the American Conservatives Union, aka ACU. washingtonpost.com/archive/politi…
Brett Kavanaugh 2015 financial disclosure report contains the following:
"Trip to Arizona Cardinals-Detroit Lions football game in Detroit with group of friends from Georgetown Prep high school class of 1983, hosted by high school classmate Michael Bidwilll, President of...
...Arizona Cardinals. October 10-11, 2015. Paid $500 to reimburse for flights and game ticket."
The game was at 4:05PM on October 11th. Ended 7:20PM.
No mention of where Kavanaugh stayed, who paid for his stay, or if he stayed with a friend. No mention of who paid for food/BEER.
Let's go through the Dutch Ministry of Defense's presentation on the indictment of GRU officers today. Purple = my imaginary commentary of the officers who put this presentation together. (AND REMEMBER: I'm A HOUSEWIFE not a SPY)
