Michelle apparently got the idea for the place of the interview from watching Turner Classic Movies.

After comparing looks to Papadopoulos’ blonde wife, the NRA infiltrating lady, and various other women deported for Russian spying, I say she is a Russian operative. She just looks like one. And yes, I’m not adverse to foil!

It’s odd because she obviously cares about self-presentation but she’s getting it very wrong. She doesn’t have the kind of face that can pull off that masculine outfit with panache.

Yes, as is well known, Italy has always been a cutting-edge military power.
Italy is to military and intelligence prowess as the Kingdom of Prussia was to cuisine.
And Hans VON Spakovksy was a key player in this? The name sounds like the villain in one of those 1970s Roger Moore James Bond movies that had unfortunately descended into slapstick, in a sad travesty of the original Sean Connery Bond films.

Hubs and I flew WOW to Frankfurt a couple of times back in 2018. It was an okay experience, and I wish they’d survived. But I really liked the Icelandic interviewer, who clearly wasn’t buying her BS.

hahahahahahahaha Yeah they’ve switched sides in both world wars. One of the favorite things to do when they first united as one country in 1861, was to try to stir up a little war to get everybody on the same page. They couldn’t manage that, even. hahahahahaha
I love the Italians because they were terrible at warfare and wonderful with food and art and love.

EVERYONE associated with Trump is a “straight-up con artist,” that is they are all crooks.

Oh, I totally agree. Their manifest failure at military adventures does not detract from their abilities at art, cuisine, and la dolce vita. Although Salvini’s 5-Star movement bears watching.
Fascism is on the move in Europe, as in America.

The M5 Stelle movement isn’t Salvini. It was started by Beppe Grillo, a comic.
Salvini runs the League, formerly the Northern League.
I agree though it needs watched - it’s a fascist organization.

Oh, let’s not drag Lotte Lenya into it! Just because she needed a few bucks and then the James Bond people called.
A different universe, talent-, character-, and dignity-wise. Not to mention her politics.

As I read the original article, TPM’s article, and watched the Icelandic video, I was struck by how often there were East European names (Hans Von Spakovsky, and a …“longtime conservative election law firm, Holtzman Vogel Josefiak Torchinsky…”), as well as Ukraine’s objection to her participation in “negotiations” with Somali pirates. Added to the Icelandic lawyer’s deep discomfort in the interview, it just feels like there’s much more to the story than just a large grift. I found myself wondering whether there might be some Russian-based long game involvement?

I used to be surprised by this sort of thing but nowadays I read the news with the distinct mindset of “Oh god, what the fuck now?” I find it makes things less jarring for me.

Please keep digging here. Someone is funding this and I imagine it all goes back to the same 2 or three nutjobs, or FlynnStones.
