Politico dropped a familiar bombshell on Monday, revealing that once again, the Israelis have been caught spying on American soil. You can read their summary of events here: https://www.politico.com/story/2019/09/12/israel-white-house-spying-devices-1491351?nname=playbook&nid=0000014f-1646-d88f-a1cf-5f46b7bd0000&nrid=0000014e-f115-dd93-ad7f-f91513e50001&nlid=630318
This latest round of spying continues a tradition of Israeli cyberintelligence division, Unit 8200. Whitney Webb detailed the myriad tech start-ups turned government contractors who worked for or, in cases, ran Unit 8200 on this episode of Slow News Day (this bit starts at 48:57) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TfBrgF1Flg&t=722s
Her MintPress article detailing these connections appeared Sept. 6th. For those keeping score at home, that's twice now in the last two months that Whitney has dropped a ton of details about work she hadn't published yet. Which is pretty bad ass, considering the Serena Shim award and all. Anyhoo, here's the article: https://www.mintpressnews.com/cia-israel-mossad-jeffrey-epstein-orwellian-nightmare/261692/
Amazon Prime's trailer for Jack Ryan is the most batshit crazy piece of propaganda I've seen in a hot minute. They gonna have people talking about a nuclear Venezuela by xmas.

Everyone in Congress knows that MMT is how our system currently operates. That taxes don't fund federal spending. That in order to maintain a status quo that only benefits the nation's elites, they must carry out this fiction that we only have money for war, and not for progressive policies. Join us for a fantastic deconstruction of that narrative broken down beautifully by Nik Maslow. Please like, subscribe, and share the video!

Julian Assange is in very poor health. Belmarsh Prison has been nicknamed "UK's Guantanamo", and Julian is currently it's most high-value prisoner. With even access "journalists" and stenographers to power like the NYT, Rachel Maddow, Washington Post, and The Young Turks grumbling at the insanely overreaching charges facing Assange in the US, what kind of gift would it be for the Trump Administration, the "Fourth Estate", global governments and intelligence agencies if Julian were to quietly expire in solitary? Where is their motivation to discourage or enable that exact scenario?
