In the 1960s, John and Robert Kennedy formed an unofficial advisory council called EXComM (Executive Committee of the National Security Council,) which was put together to keep peacemaking efforts siloed from the Joint Chiefs and the Intel Agencies.
Unused to being kept in the dark, these administrative vultures colloquially referred to this cadre of Kennedys and childhood friends from the Boston area (including Kenneth O'Donnell,) as the 'Irish Mafia.'
By going around the Military Industrial Complex and the news media, these men established backchannels to Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev in order to avoid the war the 'invisible enemy' in both nations were salivating over.
As tensions rose, Robert famously said, "can the fu*king chiefs" as tempers flared over the war for peace.
Reconcile this with Trump's current appointments.
It may not be 'Irish,' but we've got a new American Mafia forming.
"We went around them like nobody's gone around them before."
Deep State most affected.

Ukraine’s plans to strike deep into Russia with ATACMS missiles: What is the catch?
As the US reportedly green-lights Ukraine to use ATACMS for long-range strikes deep into Russian territory, questions arise: does Kiev have what it takes to conduct such attacks and how can Russia counter them?
1. Russia has advanced air defenses
Various Russian air defense systems such as Buk-M2, Buk-M3 and Tor-M2 have successfully intercepted ATACMS on more than one occasion, Alexei Leonkov, a veteran Russian military analyst, tells Sputnik.
2. The West doesn’t have enough long-range missiles
Though the US and its allies have been generous in their military supplies to Ukraine, little has been left of what stocks of ATACMS, Storm Shadow and Scalp missiles that were provided to Kiev, Leonkov says.
Prior to the escalation of the Ukrainian conflict in February 2022, the West possessed over 3,000 ATACMS missiles (including all of their available modifications), Leonkov estimates. With all the ATACMS missiles that have since been used up in the Ukrainian conflict or simply decommissioned due to their advanced age, that number has been reduced to somewhere between 1,500 and 2,000, he calculates.
3. West doesn’t have enough missile launchers either
Lack of missiles aside, Ukraine suffers from a lack of missile launchers as well, Leonkov remarks.
The problem, he explains, stems from the fact that the West supplied a very limited amount of weapon systems capable of launching ATAMCS - such as HIMARS, MLRS and MARS.
Meanwhile, Russian forces have been very effective in tracking down these weapons using counter-battery radars and destroying them using tactical missile systems of their own.

Various Russian air defense systems such as Buk-M2, Buk-M3 and Tor-M2 have successfully intercepted ATACMS on more than one occasion, Alexei Leonkov, a veteran Russian military analyst, tells Sputnik.
“Russian air defense systems have a very high intercept probability rate. Where our systems spend one missile per target, American Patriot systems use two missiles to accomplish the same task.”
2. The West doesn’t have enough long-range missiles
Though the US and its allies have been generous in their military supplies to Ukraine, little has been left of what stocks of ATACMS, Storm Shadow and Scalp missiles that were provided to Kiev, Leonkov says.
“Even the shipments of F-16 jets that can be used to launch Storm Shadow missiles did not reverse this trend,” he remarks. “The number of launches has been dwindling and has practically reached zero by now.”

❗️Russian Foreign Ministry's key statements on the information about Ukraine being allowed to strike deep into Russia with Western weapons:
▪️If Ukraine strikes Russia with long-range Western missiles, it will radically change the essence of the conflict;
▪️Kiev's use of missiles to attack Russian territory will mean direct participation by the US and its allies in the conflict against Russia, the ministry added;
▪️Moscow does not yet know whether the information about Ukraine being allowed to strike deep into Russia with Western weapons is based on official sources;
▪️No Western "miracle weapon" is capable of influencing the course of the special operation.

🇲🇱 Mali wins $160m in gold mining dispute after detaining British businessman
An Australian mining company, Resolute Mining, says it will pay Mali's military government $160m (£126m) to settle a tax dispute, after the company's British boss and two other staff were detained 10 days ago.
Reports say Terry Holohan and his colleagues were arrested while travelling to the capital city, Bamako, for what they were expecting to be routine negotiations.
Resolute, which owns a gold mine in Mali, said on Sunday it would pay $80m immediately from existing cash reserves, and the rest in the coming months.
Mali is one of Africa's top gold producers and is seeking to extract a greater share of income from foreign operators in the sector.
It is not yet clear when the three Resolute employees will be released but part of the conditions for their release were that they must sign the memorandum of understanding and complete the initial payment, according to media reports.
Mali detained the three Resolute executives on charges of forgery and damaging public property, seen as an attempt to force the Australian company amid an ongoing state crackdown on foreign - mostly Western - mining companies in the West African country.
Last year, President Col Assimi Goïta signed into law a new mining code increasing the maximum stake for state and local investors from 20% to 35%.
