1. I wonder if our good friends the Israelis . . .

I wonder if our good friends the Israelis shared any of their data about Khashoggi with our other good friends the Saudis?

7. Argentina's Macri famously used it in 2017 to air private photos of media figures who turned on him

In true Calabrese fashion, he took revenge on those who had been on his side - but then became more critical as he ran the country into debt ("you broke my heart, Fredo..." ).

Amid a 'Macrisis', he was defeated for re-election in 2019.

3. Zero Click attacks. Time to get a Linux phone.

Kind of knew the time was coming, been researching Linux phones for some time now.

Time to pull the trigger.

6. Pegasus has been used far and wide by RW authoritarians

Nutty-yahoo was very supportive of these types -anti-Semitic as they often were - because he saw them as guarantees that his abuses in the Occupied Territories would not be frowned on.

Trump, of course, was his biggest such prize.

9. Israel's RW has been playing open footsies with the far RW, & white nationalists in Europe for ages

as they both have a common enemy

The Pan-Arabists who support the Palestinians.

Here in Sweden, the Sweden Democrats (ultra RW white nationalists who are in our Riksdag aka parliament and who are often labelled as nazi-lite) have had multiple leaders take training trips to Israel. The pure hardcore neo Nazis, like Nordfront, hate them, they call them Zionist-loving sell-outs. There was a massive brawl between the two groups in Stureplan (a Stockholm neighbourhood, it is like a posher version of Soho in London, full of clubs and ultra upscale stores) several years ago.

Reminds me of right-wing Cubans.

Not content with dictating U.S. policy toward Cuba, they presume to dictate U.S. policy toward all of Latin America.

With disastrous results not just for the Latin countries involved - but for U.S. foreign policy worldwide (Russia and China love pointing out how 'the U.S. props up right-wing thugs like Marcos and Bolsonaro and kleptocrats like Mobutu and Macri').

8. Russia, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt were the 6 biggest players in the plot to
