Trump’s Financial Troubles

It would be really interesting to have Andy talk about the possibilities involved here if a foreign entity steps in to bail Trump out of some his legal troubles, and he is elected president. He never could or would be able to pass a security clearance, yet he has all the secrets.

Sixth Bulgarian charged with spying for Russia

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/feb/27/sixth-bulgarian-national-charged-with-allegedly-spying-for-russia

It just goes to show the state of British justice that the trial is set for October 2024 and is expected to last four months. The question is, were they carrying umbrellas? If you plan to attend the trial, make sure you have an umbrella with you in memory of Georgi Markov or for self-defence. Maybe you should read A Portrait Of My Double by and about Georgi Markov or read Ben Macintyre’s The Spy and the Traitor, described by John le Carré as "the best true spy story I have ever read".

More relevant might be Bill Fairclough’s spy novel Beyond Enkription which was described as ”up there with My Silent War by Kim Philby”. Little wonder Beyond Enkription is mandatory reading on some countries’ intelligence induction programs ... maybe including Bulgaria. David Cornwell almost rewrote this thriller. See the brief and intriguing News Article dated 31 October 2022 about Pemberton's People in MI6 in TheBurlingtonFiles website for more about how John le Carré may have had more Achilles heels than toes! The news was released several years after Beyond Enkription was published.

Does that explain why TheBurlingtonFiles website keeps getting a disproportionate number of visitors from Bulgaria? Best ask the DAR, Bulgaria's State Intelligence Agency (Държавна агенция Разузнаване). See https://theburlingtonfiles.org/news_2023_06.07.php and https://theburlingtonfiles.org/news_2022.10.31.php.

What did Andrew do in the Air Force?

I am being harassed in a way that is seemingly unexplable

I know a man who looks like a nobody and according to my former friend he is ex cia. I belive him fully after one year for i chased him from my window a few days ago and chose to go for his vehicle instead of hurting him... I realized he even at 60 probably would of hurt me. Police refused to belive me. I will start by getting a response. Can i please explain to you first question im aware the military has somthing for crowd control to give crowds fear and hysteria making them disperse... I researched after my gut feeling he was using something to make me panicky... I then caught a glance of a bulky pen like thing i caught a glance of after i looked at him as i started to get this feeling. Mind you i only felt this way around him and another person he is associated with... Is there something that you know of?
