Facebook just announced it's removing fake content run by Israeli firm Archimedes Group that was used to influence foreign politics - Approx 2.8 million FB accounts followed one or more of the deceptive pages and approx 5,500 joined the Facebook groups.
jpost.com/Israel-News/Fa…
More info on Archimedes in this thread
I did a thread on an Archimedes that hired Cambridge Analytica parent co SCL for work in Yemen & 2 CA employees who had worked w/Archimedes - they seem to be different cos - today's news👆🏼Archimedes Group in Israel vs old thread👇🏼US based Archimedes Global
Wanted to share those differences👆🏼 in case others researching Archimedes assume they are the same companies (however if anyone finds that they are connected, definitely let me know)

A🧵on Ryan Girdusky (banned by CNN for racist remark inciting violence) and financial links to Leonard Leo

In 2022 a nonprofit closely linked to Leo called The Concord Fund gave $270K to Girdusky's nonprofit and Leo's Marble Trust paid $888K to a firm run by Girdusky's relatives Image
In 2022 the Concord Fund (formerly JCN) run by Ann Corkery gave $270,000 to Ryan Girdusky's 1776 Education Project. Ann & husband Neil are tied closely to Leonard Leo. Neil is CFO of Leo's for profit CRC Advisors which The Concord Fund has paid over $20mil

Ryan Girdusky's 1776 Education Project nonprofit filing for 2022 shows total contributions of $210,000 - less than $270,000 in The Concord Fund filing (perhaps due payment timing) but it appears the Leo-linked fund may fully support Girdusky's nonprofit

NEW: Elon Musk’s pro-Trump America PAC has spent $144 million and over 40% went to Phil Cox - I analyzed FEC filings and found that $61.7 million was paid to firms linked to former GOP and DeSantis operative Phil Cox, who helps run America PAC, my latest:
newstracs.com/musks-america-…
America PAC received $140 million and Musk funded $118.5 million

Betsy DeVos, Trump’s former Secretary of Education and sister of Blackwater founder Erik Prince, donated $250,000 and with 6 members of the DeVos family provided $2 million to Musk’s PAC

newstracs.com/musks-america-…
America PAC has made $144 million in payments - of those $136 million are independent expenditures - payments to influence a federal election that support or oppose specific candidates

88% of expenditures were to support Trump or oppose Harris or Biden

The WSJ reported Elon Musk gave $50 million to a Stephen Miller-linked nonprofit in 2022 & they spent $90mil on media contractors. Did some of Musk's $ loop back to buy ads on X?

A look at the network of Miller, Musk & former DeSantis advisors, my latest
newstracs.com/the-wsj-report…
Musk funneled $50 million to Stephen Miller’s nonprofit through Building America’s Future, which is linked to former Ron DeSantis campaign advisors Generra Peck & Phil Cox, who both now run Elon Musk’s America PAC, which is paying vendors run by Phil Cox

Jared and Ivanka are using political ties and $ from Gulf states to develop luxury resorts in Albania. Kushner (who is informally advising the Trump campaign) is planning a $1bil development & negotiating with foreign leaders such as Albanian PM Edi Rama.

wsj.com/real-estate/ja…
After leaving the WH on a yachting trip in Albania Jared & Ivanka were romanced by a former military island and envisioned it as a perfect destination for a luxury hotel

The land is environmentally protected but a new law allows 'ultraluxury' hotels only

wsj.com/real-estate/ja…
"Kushner turned to the leaders of Albania and Serbia to develop real estate on public land without having to go through competitive auction, drawing fire from opposition politicians in both states."
