There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

One thing I have always said in defence of Bush, against conservatives of more recent years, is that he went to pretty great lengths to try and not portray the conflict with Al-Qaeda as a civilisational conflict against Islam itself.

Bush was smarter on counter-terrorism than Sebastian Gorka, the current White House fake terrorism expert.

There doesn't even appear to be any attempt to conceal the fact any more:
Flynn offers to testify about Trumps Russian links, the very next day Wikileaks releases the CIA trove showing how they attempted to frame groups.

Assuming the documents are genuine.

The docs seem to be, but Wikileak's depiction of how they worked - implying that the CIA hacked the DNC and blamed Russia for Reasons - is not.

They are designed to make it appear as if the attacks are coming from another party but based on the languages the code was optimised for, it was more a case of disguise as anyone from non western culture.

That's the most retarded reason for violating the Logan Act I've ever read.  Getting Russia to dump Iran?  Sure, and maybe you could get North Korea to side with Japan against China while you're at it.

Bannons lost his nsc seat.

Allegedly, Bannon was put there to keep an eye on Flynn.  That's the claim that seems to be coming from the Trump camp.

Which makes no sense at all to me.

So assuming this is simply a lie, what makes sense? Bannons fallen out if favour to the benefit of who? I mean who in particular, not just the world at large.

Kushner.

The rumour is that Kushner wanted to bump Bannon off the NSC to the benefit of the "moderate" faction within the White House.
