Something is rustling in the Deutsche Bank/Russian oligarch/money laundering/2008 Trump loans story. The media keeps forgetting that Steve Feinberg is inside Deutsche...and our intel apparatus as Chairman of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board. wsj.com/articles/when-…
And Feinberg has a nice little secret squirrel training camp and makes the guns that mass shooters choose. Some weirdness here: newyorker.com/business/curre…
A great chart by @WendySiegelman on the loans from Deutsche Bank and an unusual company, Ladder Capital Finance with 31% growth. Don't overlook that little foot note about the Israeli "King of Diamonds" Lev Leviev. medium.com/@wsiegelman/tr…
Lev Leviev has his own world of troubles in money laundering via diamonds and . As do many of the Russian Israeli oligarchs and associates who hovered around Trump and the election. timesofisrael.com/diamond-smuggl…
As Steve Bannon said; it is all about money laundering but the nexus seems to hover around Russia, Israel and the Gulf, the standard spin cycle for money laundering that needs a US or European cleaner. reuters.com/article/us-eur…
The UAE has made trillions from Russians, Cyprus used to be their favorite "holiday" destination but Russians now like to visit their money in Dubai while staying in overpriced hotels or inside the labyrinths of million dollar condos. theamericanconservative.com/articles/ameri…
Israel along with Malta and Cyprus are favored second passport stops for the wealthy. This creates confusion in the narrative since many of Trump associates can be described as "Israeli" or "Russian" or by dual nationality leading to a confused narrative. haaretz.com/us-news/know-y…
Trump continues to make positive comments about dictators and or support world leaders accused or charged with corruption. Or attack their opponents. Donald knows money and safety is in politics and corruption. But is this a last resort or escape strategy? wbur.org/onpoint/2019/0…
There is no proof of illegal corruption, just the normal corruption that comes with donors and payoffs. But Donald is not really paying off for Russia, Israel or the UAE, he tries, but is blocked. So are we just making the tit for tat corruption story up? globalwitness.org/en/campaigns/c…
Or did "dirty" foreign money transform Trump from a dilettante serial bankrupt into a closely held cash rich family? The tax returns and the rationale for lending him money by these two institutions may be an important answer in telling that story. marketwatch.com/story/donald-t…

I investigated the Russian hacks, Clinton email scam, Weiner, Biden laptops and other GOP smear operations I can say they all start with "leaked" or stolen data, then false data is added. the media takes the bait. Expect fuckery with Elon's data cache. dangerousmagazine.com/2018/07/19/hac…
We now are seeing this: "USAID paid for (insert GOP enemy). USAID is directed by each President to carry out soft power programs. They are obsessed with condoms and media subscriptions. Comedy occurs. foreignaffairs.house.gov/press-release/…
Does anyone remember the last time Elon Musk hired his goonies to do a fake audit? Image

Donald Trump is in the business of laundering money. Initially his father's money, then Russian/Israeli gangsters, then mob casinos then offshore hotels, then political grifts. Gaza will be his biggest gift ever. arabcenterdc.org/resource/the-k…
Jared is fronting Balkan area money sinks based on the Belgrade Waterfront and Istanbul Cruiseport models. State to State deals turned private mega projects that make no sense but pump UAE and Saudi money into regions that don't track how it comes out. reuters.com/business/alban…
Albania is estimated at $1.4B, Serbia is half a billion. Those are rookie numbers. Gotta pump them up. Gaza rebuild starts at $50 billion. Only problem. Jared and Donny got to get rid of those pesky land owners. agbi.com/real-estate/20…

There are 99 federal agencies, each with its own records and different database systems. Each of The government agencies stores data in data centers and with third-party providers. There are at least 306,524 datasets inside those databases. archives.gov/ogis/resources…
There are many, many separate sensitive, classified and secret databases and datasets. Some can be FOIA'd. Many datasets, like the census and databases, are public. You can download some here: catalog.data.gov/dataset?q=&sor…
The crown jewels would be sensitive databases like MIPR and SIPR (Secure] Internet Protocol Route created in 2005). A network of smaller databases for intel and military use. JWICS is a secure intranet system that can only accessed with clearance. securestrux.com/resources/insi…

Understanding Hitler is the key to understanding Trump 2.0. We are in the propaganda and division stage. Leaning into the outrage. Hitler blamed the Jew. Trump blames DEI. (odd, but Antifa and BLM won't pick up the phone) aish.com/understanding-…
"Goebbels was a master at simplifying complex situations in misleading ways and repeating his lies Another facet of Goebbels’s propaganda, is that “it wasn’t important that the individual facts are correct; an item just has to be repeated in the service of a single truth.” Image
"It was a manufactured consensus, a propaganda construct, with repression of political opponents, "racial enemies" and other outsiders as the other side of the coin. The "superman" image of Hitler amounted to the central component of the fabrication." spiegel.de/international/…

The Russian Tail is a statistical anomaly that appears in vote distribution data. In manipulated elections, this curve develops an extended tail, indicating disproportionately high votes for a specific candidate in certain regions or polling stations" lynxotic.com/the-russian-ta…

My thoughts for today; Let Donny roll. Incompetence at speed and scale is historically a healthy thing in the long run. Successful managers respect reality, inertia, logistics, limitations etc. Stupid people think bluster and bullshit trump homeostasis. That leads to...
...an inflection or pivot point. Stability is an enemy to change. Good and bad. Instability is an ideal landscape for change. Pro or con. Let Trump paralyze, terrorize and metastasize the government because it will draw forth change agents to battle his chaos agents.
Trump's reliance on superficial theatrics, threats, insults, and unleashing incompetent subordinates with foolish ideas to disrupt the bureaucratic system we call government will lead to fractures. The much quieter "deep state" understands how the government operates.
