There are so many BIG stories going on, it's impossible to keep up. For example, I entirely missed *this* until today: πŸ‘‡

The Trump administration's efforts to obscure (& who knows what else) America's COVID19 data by diverting it from the CDC to a secretive contractor.
In mid-July, hospitals were no longer allowed to report their data to the CDC. They had to report to TeleTracking, a Pittsburgh(🀬) company w/a $10M no bid govt contract. This caused a 10 day Covid19 data blackout. Every single aspect of this is corrupt.

nytimes.com/2020/08/23/us/…
The NYTimes article says there are no connections between TeleTracking & Trump administration, but NPR says its CEO Michael Zamigias has ties to a group that financed $billions$ for the Trump Org. Obviously Congressional Dems wanted to investigate this.

npr.org/2020/07/29/896…
But everyone, including Congress, is being blocked from finding out anything about the details of Teletrackings contract with Dept of HHS (led by Alex Azar). They are hiding behind an NDA.

So this company which has all of the US hospitals' health data regarding coronavirus is an opaque black box.

This data secrecy should be a 5 alarm πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

sciencemag.org/news/2020/07/u…
Oh, and Palantir is involved with the data collected by TeleTracking.

vox.com/recode/2020/7/…
And looping back to the CDC, it is currently led by Robert Renfield, who claims to have been as surprised as anyone else about the data reporting switch over.

The rank and file of the CDC are horrified and their leadership.

I'm starting a thread of people incorrectly explaining to me what "dark money" means.

The correct answer is: it refers to spending by any organization that doesn't have to disclose its donors.

(Ex: 501(c)(4) nonprofits, 501(c)(5) unions, & some others, but NOT SuperPACs) Image

If you've never heard of the company 'Teletracking", you need to read this thread.

It's the company with America's Covid19 data and they're sharing it with Palantir.
I swear, every time I post this thread, Twitter's algorithm barely shows it to anyone.
This reply already has more views than the top tweet

I don't get it!

AOC Deep Dive part 1:

Here are AOC's personal House Financial Disclosure πŸ‘‡ She has filed 4 total.

Every member of Congress and congressional candidate must file one annually.

They are publicly available here: disclosures-clerk.house.gov/PublicDisclosu… ImageImageImageImage
What do hers tell us?

Well, when AOC initially filed to run for Congress, she filed in NY-15! She amended it 10 days later to run in NY-14.

BUT!

She filed financial disclosures forms in BOTH districts...on 4/30/18!

Even though she changed her candidacy to NY-14 a year earlier ImageImageImageImage
But that's not the only difference.

These Candidate Disclosures were both submitted on the same day, 4/30/18:

- The "2017" one was filed under NY-15
- The "2018" one was filed under NY-14

πŸ‘‡These are my guesses as to which "current year" & "previous year" she's referring to. ImageImageImage

Well, I had planned to spend a good chunk of time reading Tara's old tweets to find ones that seemed to be written in a Russian accent.

I only made it 2 weeks back before I ran out of space for more examples.

These are the red flags I found JUST from the last 2 weeks.
You might think I'm being harsh here, but she graduated from law school and is a native English speaker. If she's trying to present herself as a smart, professional woman , she should tweet in proper English.

Here are some of the most interesting red flags that stood out to me:
"SWITCH AND BAIT"

Just hilarious! She's defending herself from being called a Russian agent by screwing up a common English phrase

I started heading down the road of investigating this group ("Youth Against Sexual Violence") which was seemingly created to support Tara Reade.

I ran out of time to keep digging right now, but they seem to be entirely fictitious. Feel free to take this stuff and run with it! ImageImage
Here is the breakdown of the Youth Against Sexual Violence group:

It's run by several supposed teens (Sophia, Anna/Anya/Jocelyn/Brian) They all have brand new accounts that are obsessed with Tara. And Tara even follows one of these kids.

This ⬇️ is the founder, Sophia Arnold, a sophomore in high school. Her Twitter account was created this month and she has 8 followers. They include the other members of the group and pro-Bernie account I had already blocked. She claims to love banana bread. ImageImage

I've been thinking about a weird mystery from Summer 2016.

A bizarre sockpuppet Twitter account started tweeting commands at Trump & associates.

⚠️And then Trump did those things⚠️

🚨Including the infamous "Russia, if you're listening..." on 7/27/16🚨

I got a lot of info from this blog ⬇️

It's a VERY deep dive into the mysterious "Twitter Yuri". I cannot overstate how far down the rabbithole this anonymous author went. It is long.

Author seems to be a Dem researching the world of the scary-far-right.

Background

Our mysterious Twitter account was a "tribute" to Yuri Bezmenov, a deceased KGB agent who defected to the West, granted asylum in 1970 by Pierre Trudeau, Justin's dad.

He shared intel about Russian active measures and tactics for subverting the US political system. ImageImageImageImage
