Black hands in motion

I see where James Le Mesurier, mastermind of the White Helmets propaganda triumph, leapt to his doom from the balcony of his Istanbul apartment. They say he was depressed.

You'd be depressed too if spooks from half a dozen countries, including your own, were highly motivated to see you as an "inconvenient fact."

We know what happens to inconvenient facts.

And how to read Morales heading to Mexico for asylum? Just last week Donny J offered to invade Mexico to save Mormons from drug cartels. Now he's got an added incentive!
