This morn as i was putting away all the glasses, cutlery, & dishes etc from their routine overnight drying after the dishwasher, i found one bowl that weirdly was not quite clean, whilst everything else was fine as usual. I was momentarily taken aback. Soon enough though i regained my wits, & did the only sensible thing possible.

An over 3-year US #Senate #Intelligence Cmte investigation found in 2020 that #Russia used Republican political operative #PaulManafort, the WikiLeaks website & others to try to influence the #2016election to help Trump's campaign.

"The leader of the gang is President Obama, Barack Hussein Obama," #Trump said, saying without evidence that Obama's actions were treason.

"Based on what I read, & I read pretty much what you read, it would be President Obama, he started it. And Biden was there with him. And (former FBI director James) Comey was there, & (former intelligence director James) Clapper, the whole group was there. (Former CIA director John) Brennan, they were all there in a room, right here," #Trump said, without adding any detail.

When asked in the Oval Office about the #JeffreyEpstein case, #Trump quickly pivoted into an attack on President Barack #Obama.

He referred to his *#intelligence* director #TulsiGabbard's allegations about Obama's handling of Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

#Russia's #ElectionInterference was detailed in an early 2017 US intelligence report.

"Whether it's right or wrong it's time to go after people," Trump said.

Also... it seems most/all of the masked "black-baggers" are #HSI agents, not the usual #ICE "Enforcement and Removal Operations" #ERO officers. ?!?

Apparently HSI stands for "Homeland Security Investigations". There is very little objective info on their involvement online. (I treat all .gov info on this topic as suspect.)

Based on bits of reporting I've heard, these are *investigators* and not enforcers. I assume using them as the equivalent of secret police is a tactical move by #DHS to misdirect and obfuscate.

Whoever they are, they should be in uniform with proper ID plainly visible!

Deception, Obfuscation & Misdirection

This is a concatenation of posts I originally made in 2016-2017--even more relevant today...

Most are familiar with the concept of #FUD—short for #Fear, #Uncertainty & #Doubt. It summarizes a strategy often used in marketing and political propaganda. Its effects are pernicious, divisive and lead to exploitation. Examples abound. Fear is a strong motivator! To resist FUD one must understand how it is practiced using the principles of #Deception, #Obfuscation and #Misdirection.
