It serves as an attractive house plant in cold climates and in temperate regions will flourish out-of-doors all year long. In my herb garden in Princeton, I have several rosemary plants which, over the years have grown to […]

But that trend will be tested in the next two years, with supercharged Republicans newly empowered to spout conspiracies, grievances, whataboutism, and lies from official, high-profile platforms. The House Oversight Committee’s crammed investigations menu is perilous for President Joe Biden, from the Afghanistan withdrawal, the Southern border, and Hunter Biden’s activities to the recently discovered classified documents at Biden’s residences and a think tank once associated with him. But beyond the political risk for Biden and his legacy, there is a larger danger for the country—specifically the Judiciary Committee’s new Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government led by Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio. Jordan has long complained about the supposed persecution of conservatives by the FBI and other agencies.

Naturally, he was working for Russia TPM unpacks the story: The same FBI official accused of illegally working for a Russian oligarch also faces charges of concealing a $225,000 payment while he was working for the bureau, court papers say. Per a Jan. 18 indictment, a D.C. federal grand jury charged Charles McGonigal, a former special agent in charge of the counterintelligence division at the FBI’s New York City field office, with nine counts relating to a scheme in which he allegedly took hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash from a former foreign intelligence official. The indictment does not specify whether McGonigal did anything specifically in exchange for the money — he faces charges of concealment, false statements, and falsifying official records. But the charging documents lay out a story in which McGonigal appears to have used the powers that came with his position — including to open criminal investigations — in a way that may have benefitted those paying him. McGonigal was charged separately on Monday in Manhattan federal court with a scheme to violate U.S. sanctions on Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch.

The situation is more complicated than this but Alastair Crooke brings out some key factors. There were actually two big mistakes that he mentions.
First is the mistake of overestimating finance and underestimating productive capacity. Andrei Martyanov had been writing about this for some years.
The second, which is related to the first, is the abject failure of intelligence to properly access the strength of the Russian economy. This is seldom mentioned but it is a huge factor. Alastair Crooke served in British intel so it is well aware of it.
These mistakes together constitute a blunder that is leading to disaster. The US and its allies either have not yet realized this or have backed themselves into a corner from which they cannot escape without climbing down, and that threatens bringing down their house.
The analysis is sort of a combination of Michael Hudson and Andrei Martyanov without mentioning either. It's not fully MMT-compliant but the thrust of the article is not dependent on this.
Come on, people… John Amato caught a top Republican in an egregious lie over the weekend that nobody else seems to have noticed: The incoming chairman of the House intelligence Committee tried to both-side election fraud deniers by lying about who went to the Supreme court to challenge the 2000 election results. Mike Turner said it was Al Gore today when it has always been George W. Bush. Face The Nation host Margaret Brennan asked Turner if he had any concerns about the incredible number of election deniers joining his committee. “Of the 26 Republican members on the committee, 19 of them denied the results of the 2020 election,” Brennan noted. CBS then listed Turner’s treasonous colleagues. “They all played critical roles in the former president’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Do you have any concerns about working with these lawmakers?” she asked. This forced Rep. Turner to try and both-sides the insurrection crowd with the Democratic party — so much so that he even lied about the 2000 election to do it.
