can't believe that controversy as PR only does so much and shitty books flop when they're not bought in bulk to artificially make them best sellers

not unlike killing people remotely as an office job, gambling on wars online is a different kind of depravity and everyone trying to normalize this kind of thing should be treated as a special kind of evil... there's not even any rationale behind it that's not just depravity for depravity's sake

no hypocrisy here as far as he's concerned (or even the liberals who helped make Rufo a respectable Manhattan Institute guy), he's just doing institutional rightwing politics...it's good to make shit up about their political enemies, immigrants etc, it's bad to focus on Trump admin corruption etc
Chris Rufo literally was a core figure in boosting a lie that Haitian immigrants in an Ohio town ate pets. He offered a bounty for “information” after the lie was repeatedly debunked.
Spare us the navel-gazing nonsense.

this isn't just an Intel thing, career diplos are well versed in corruption as foreign policy statecraft because the US does this even to a bunch of smaller allies/clients, as do US adversaries like Russia to theirs... easier to get what you want when corrupt interests trump national sovereignty
When I’m done writing my book I may take a crack at a “corruption is a first-order counterintelligence threat” story.
And US spies know it: CIA has used rampant corruption in places like China in the past to go on recruiting sprees. Mutatis mutandis.

if mainstream and liberal partisan US media were Epstein subsidiaries on behalf of Israel, I don't see how their coverage or lack of would be all that different. this is like Trump has been single handedly running America since forever and Israeli op allegations are Nazi conspiracy theories lmao
Through a spectacularly ham-handed series of moves, the Trump administration has ensured that Epstein conspiracy theories will never really end.
Now it’s Epstein forever

the Rumsfeld lesbian MILF situation would've surely also made him wonder if women are a factor in this kind of thing and Pornhub says over the last decade their female visitors have gone from 24% to 38%, seems overall a higher % in non West vs main Western countries

average Jewish stuff now reads like what I imagine German stuff did in 40s...the noose pin is new but how is it really used differently by Jewish supremacists that the hostages one it's replacing or the Star of David or "antisemitism" or every single thing that's been used to justify all the horrors

that's right, the invention of political science transitioned humanity from hunter gatherers to Costco shoppers
do you know how far we had to come in so many fields - agriculture, medicine, economics, engineering (all types), political science, finance, etc. - to go from being half-starved hunter-gatherers to being able to drive 5min and pick up a fully cooked, delicious rotisserie chicken on a Monday night??
