I just had one of those vertigo-inducing moments when you realize that just about everyone around you is utterly clueless about the "hidden history" of the US Deep State (DS) and is willing to swallow whatever bilge Hollywood is offering as long as it includes lots of violence and babes. This moment happened when I watched a 2017 Tom Cruise movie called "American Made", about the CIA agent/drug smuggler, Barry Seal.

The last time the news media paid any attention to Libya was when CNN reported that there were now open-air slave markets in Libya.
It turns out that the Pentagon never stopped bombing Libya.

(I’d figured you might like a bit of a break from the horrors in the current zeitgeist. Here’s hoping you might enjoy a bit of a trip back in time when life was a bit simpler, or at least more…comprehensible.)
Agita and agitprop are the current features of what purports to be Trumpian US policy in numerous areas of contradiction, whether it’s international trade chaos or racist border policies.
Vulture capitalists are investors that acquire distressed firms in the hopes of making them more profitable so as to ultimately sell them for a profit.[1] Due to their aggressive investing nature, and the methods they use to make firms more profitable, vulture capitalists are often criticized.[2]
Some writers would like to attribute child-like motives to current WH policies, considering the use of tweets as “official statements”, however false, infantile, and irrational. SAD! As if preying on mass anxiety was a useful policy.

Just like Donald Trump is important, but still mostly a symbol of a larger problem, we shouldn't get hung up on Bernie Sanders.
What brings this topic to mind is the Awan story. Here at c99 we've have been lucky to have Alligator Ed and gulf gal (among others) inform us. It is a spy thriller... Pakistani Spy Ring in the halls of congress tending to the reps computers. Gun and drug trade is involved. And nary a word from corporate media? We have many stories which we don't speak about. Consider 911 with questions about building 7 and the hole in the pentagon not being large enough for an airplane. And for that matter all the assassinations in the sixties. The common thread that seems to run through these so called conspiracy theories is CIA involvement.
