I've outlined the structure and presumptions of the National Security Strategy so you can more easily see how much of it builds off wildly false assumptions about America's strength. www.emptywheel.net/2025/12/08/t... The National Security Strategy...

Turns out Elon is the one censoring the EU, not the other way around. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreifdyzeb3o7cwrz3iwi6wvlelx7kk5nn3hyblpprevxq3nb4x3rqiq

FT has a piece on how particularly poisonous the Juan Orlando Hernández pardon was (but is a good overview and unlikely many pieces did note that Roger Stone himself needed a pardon). www.ft.com/content/1dc4... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreicyrhntrhmeqvtgwwccd7mnqezzudjvz7grtujunjymvitzvolddm

Over on Xitter, Kirill Dmitriev, whose country censors Xitter entirely, is on a 7-plus tweet rant about the EU enforcing transparency rules on Xitter. https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreidjry4uryazzfei724t34uomuv64fc63lkizwle2dyeuhxj3g4h2m https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreiajjl5zlzaqjcpfwrlpiulxgbfmenacymp3t2pj4jxksdcvbzkmli https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreihuyaljg7e4wwiabb4dykxrkhdvz7pojsgqritpnkfxkh2wfkw3ny https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreifcsxb6fe6gzpip6f3piv2imykzda3surrqlkkxcppnk4m4bmuz5i

America hired a serial bakrupt man and allowed him to put Stephen Miller in charge of policy. His economic advisors are rewarded for sycophancy, and as a result, he started a trade war with China that backfired YUGELY. Let's talk about the viability of their "security strategy," shall we?

This is VERY rough. But here's a Google map showing the towers Robert Cole's phone pinged on, per complaint, and the FBI map on where the pipe bomber was caught on surveillance. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... www.fbi.gov/video-reposi... https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreieb523kwd4jcvdqjc5bbwi3hcgl76gktfadcpffe3kpvwg3houupe https://oyster.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo&cid=bafkreihnsyuw35kyufrwg5d7yk3hxio3u753x43zj7secwcny4bbsgxsga
