Trump Dismantles FBI CounterIntelligence To The Benefit Of Vladimir Putin And FSB
“Trump has relentlessly attacked these FBI and Justice Department officials as dishonest “Democrats” engaged in a partisan “witch hunt” led by the special counsel.” theatlantic.com/amp/article/56…
2) “Trump’s latest obsession is with Bruce Ohr, a career Justice Department official who spent years investigating Russian organized crime and corruption—an expertise he shared with another Trump target named Christopher Steele...”
3)”Trump’s fixation with seeing Ohr ousted from the Justice Department could be perceived..as an attack on someone with deep knowledge of the shady characters..including Semion Mogilevich, the Russian mob boss, and Oleg Deripaska, a Russian aluminum magnate close to Putin..”
Socialism—
A name reserved for liberals and progressives by Republicans meant to be disparagingly disgusting because it includes welfare for poor people. Ignorantly, it gets confused with communism.
2) DemocraticSocialism—
A term mistakenly associated with Scandanavian countries because they have a form of welfare state within a complex economy. Bernie Sanders adopts this label to avoid being called socialist.
3) Nordic capitalism/social democracy—
A comprehensive welfare state& collective bargaining at nat’l level w/high percentage of workforce unionized,while being based on economic foundations of free market capitalism,w/higher standard of living than USA& people generally happier.
#IDedicateThisWeekTo Edgar Mowrer, Pulitzer Prize winning international and war correspondent, who warned the world about Hitler& Mussolini, at risk to himself.
He was a beacon of truth, when the free press was under attack.
As did Hitler, Trump would have called him Fake News.
"Like other newsmen, I was crazy to see all I could... we rented bicycles and pedaled eastward... eager to see what we could of the recent battlefields.... When we finally arrived, I realized with delight that we were at the headquarters of the French Fifth Army.”

“To the north we heard the faint roar of guns..Before we knew it,we were under arrest as spies. In answer to my insistence that we were free-born Americans w/papers,...the captain cursed me roundly. Next a major led us to courtyard& locked us up in separate sheds."
