1/ We need to talk about Daniel Kawczynski MP (@DKShrewsbury) & Gold Speculation.

His comments & seemingly "pointless" lies about #brexit has provoked confusion among leavers & remainers alike.

But once you find out who's he really working for, his actions make perfect sense...

2/ Kawczynski has until recently been a pretty mainstream Tory MP, even liberal on some issues given his personal background.

Yet since the referendum has not just been hard #Brexit supporter - his views have increasingly been seen as slightly beyond the pale even for brexit...

3/ One thing that has changed is Kawczynski's growing relationship with Banks & Mogg and his curious relationship with American billionaire Thomas Kaplan.....

From that time on circa 2015 Kawczynski public pronouncements began to change....

4/ Kawczynski became ever more proSaudia Arabia & his comments on Europe in general began to veer even beyond Mogg's. German reperations for example.

Within a year of #brexit Kawczynski, with no experience in minerals, revealed he had a new £6,000 a month salary paid by..Kaplan.

5/ Quite why a former entertainment account manager turned MP would command a salary of £6,000 a month to gve advice on gold and other resources payable by a billionaire Gold & oil investor has never been explained...

Except....

6/ .....Except, that around the same time as this was happening Aron Banks was also getting into the same diamonds & gold business with the Russians.

Aron Banks and Daniel Kawczynski are now very tight colleagues in #Brexit disinformation media....but why the resources link....

7/ Its simple when you know that gold, oil, diamonds arent just hedges against tough times - they're massive sources of profits when economies & trade crash. Which brings us back to Kapaln - a self proclaimed "gold evangelist".

Now you see where this is going...

8/ Imagne you've invest in gold & diamonds - but you are not satisfied with a useful safe hedge...you want bigger profits. What you need is chaos, economic dislocation, trade problems, trade frictions, uncertainty...

What would be the cheapest way to benerate this...?

9/ You would need to generate chaos in big economies, big enough to make a splash to cause dislocation. The fact that Kaplan's Electrum group pays
Daniel Kawczynski - a man with no discerable background in gold - as a consultant should have rung alarm bells immediately...

10/ When Gold spiked 10% after the referendum that made the expense of paying Kawczynski £6,000 look like chicken feed.

The question you should be asking is how many other leading Brexiters are also being paid by similar companies...

Mogg is
Banks is

How many more?

I’ve received a number of questions asking how I know Daniel Kawczynski is being paid £6000 a month by a secretive gold investor...it’s simple - it’s on the “register of Members interests” took me all of 2 minutes.

Just look it up online.

Why aren’t journalists doing this?

Since starting this thread on what I believe is clear evidence of behaviour for which MP Daniel Kawczynski should be investigated I have received a number of corroborative messages with further information.

But remember this all started with something I found in plain sight:

....but for the life of me I’ll never understand why something so easy to find has with (1 partial exception) not been covered by full time journalists?

This is absolutely massive story “just there” in plain sight & nobody can be bothered to report it.

PS there’s more to come..
