@AramRoston and @Reuters just lit up Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan like a Christmas tree. The question is why don't we spy on the Nayhan family? And more to the point after Erik Prince left? I will provide the answer at the end. reuters.com/article/us-usa…
According to Prince, one of Tahnoon his first projects was a secret anti piracy program in Puntland using money laundered through a UAE based charity. Not to be confused with the Reflex Response project the Crown Prince tossed Erik's way for not getting love from the IOMAX deal.
Abu Dhabi's reorganization from the previous unschooled older generation to the modern educated and westernized generation began in 2004 (note the Tahnoon in this doc is not the same) and the ascent of the Crown Prince. wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/0…
The young Tahnoon is a big fan of Ju-Jitsu, UFC, cycling and a proponent of sports and healthy living in a region known for much exercise as well as coordinating secretive military agreements from Somalia, Libya to Afghanistan bjjee.com/articles/the-b…
Prince was set up in two free villas across from the Marina Mall and given an office on the 6th floor of the NAS building Tahnoon via his Royal Group was supposed to be a big investor ($50M) In Erik Prince's Frontier Resources Group. oaklandinstitute.org/erik-prince-tr…
Prince as Assurance Management Consultancy then ran a spy network in addition to his Reflex Response gig which a Deferred Prosecution prevented him from legally doing. Aviation assets and bomb fuses were also a major part. theintercept.com/2019/05/03/eri…
Tahnoon was allegedly at a disastrous Erik Prince/George Nader/Kirill Dmitriev meeting in the Seychelles. Again another secret Prince project that was lit up by intercepts and the WaPo. The attempt to restart secret projects with Prince failed miserably. washingtonpost.com/world/national…
It's not like Tahnoon picks the #BestPeople to hang out with it is just that he understands the disposability of foreigners peddling skills to his kingdom. Most if not all of their major defense and intel projects are run by foreigners like Prince who can be quickly flushed.
For example the current role of the UAE in Libya requires (like Puntland and Mogadishu) cash money, brazenly violating the UN arms embargo and backing "strongmen" along with providing skillsets and outside weapons and skills. All while denying it. emiratesleaks.com/en/uae-finance…
Prince's failed projects were taken "in house" by Emiratis and other providers hired to fill the gaps. Today the UAE has thousands of retired intel and military professionals making big money much the East India Company. Mercenaries and Sepoys. Ergo Prince's fascination with EIC.
So why doesn't the CIA spy on the UAE? Because people like Prince/Sanchez/Hindmarsh/Clarke etc ran/run their shit. That's why. We are using the UAE as a proxy force to do our dirty work because they are unaccountable to the UN or other bodies. reuters.com/investigates/s…
We would be spying on Americans doing tacitly approved operations and being paid off by massive US weapons purchases. The question is at what point does the Nahyan (and Saud) family self interest diverge from American ones? And when does their corruption of US government harm us?
The good old days: "During the reign of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, so many Europeans took up service at the Mughal Army that a distinct suburb was built for them outside Delhi named Firingipura (Foreigners' Town)"en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercenari…

Can't wait. Ms Mercer and Steve Bannon are no longer in love. So where is she now focusing her unrequited passion for fascism? I was surpised at how much gun love is embedded in the Mercer clan. Not just Dad. vanityfair.com/news/2018/04/r…
Kushner's Affinity Partners is not a $2B bribe ($3B under management). It is a way to pay Kushner $40M a year to "manage" Gulf dictator state funds and influence U.S. politics, In this case Donald Trump. MBS, MBz and Qatar don't need investment advice. timesofisrael.com/jared-kushners…
Kushner comes from a less than illustrious real estate family. A criminal family with an embarrasing past and even worse financial history. They were saved when a bizarre 99 year, up front lease payment was cooked up for 666 5th Ave. A bona fide albatross. curbed.com/2021/08/so-lon…
Kushner cooked up his investment deal while pitching the Abraham Fund in the last weeks of the Trump regime. No longer in the White House he created Affinity Partners. Here is the deck. Yes it's a political access play. No brains required. documentcloud.org/documents/2163…
Back in 2018. There was yet another Trump scandal wth a Plaboy gal that today sounds terribly familiar. "'I dated Donald Trump for around six months, from March to September 1993." dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5…
Playmate Carrie Stevens dished to Ryan Parry at the Daily Mail on fellow Playmate Barbara Moore's extra marital fling with Trump. And on Trump's treatment of Karen MacDougal, the affair which went through the "Catch and Kill" machine. Moore's didn't because she still likes Donny.
Shouldn't there be a perfume for women that look like Ivanka? Too soon?
The lastest destruction of Gaza was sparked by an murderous event that was known by Israeli intelligence and the IDF long before Oct 7. Why? Because a HAMAS operative showed the plan to them. haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
Despite the hype, there are numerous examples of intelligence failures. Scholarly reviews argue that these "failures" were systemic and historic. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
The Oct 7 attack was known more than a year in advance. This should not be dismissed. .nytimes.com/2023/11/30/wor…
So one thing is true in Elon's Xitty world. Some of the most disgusting, overtly racist, antisemetic, hate, violent, nazi or bot content is cool. These are the X rules. So it's true that @elonmusk is cultivating or enabling a bot farm, many of them foriegn players.
When you see an foreign operated bot pushing stuff, you wonder why Elon protects it. "According to CHEQ, a whopping 75.85 percent of traffic from X to its advertising clients' websites during the weekend of the Super Bowl was fake" mashable.com/article/x-twit…
So the Bot in question had insulting cartoons and memes about blacks, jews, etc and was almost like a pick and pack for hillbillies and MAGA trolls. Assumnig that retweeting would not get them banned. Designed to stir the bot pot on any left/right Xitter fight.
