This video is from 1996. (h/t @clearing_fog).

Trump, Lorber, LeBow, and Leon Black are in Moscow pursuing a real estate venture that didn't go anywhere.

Tax returns from 1995 show that this was a financial low point for Trump. It's also three years before Putin comes to power.
Leon Black had a very cosy financial relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, which the reporting below provides more details on. He's also pals with Deripaska.

1996 is also two years after Trump raped a 13-year-old at Epstein's NYC residence.
As outlined in @sarahkendzior's "Hiding in Plain Sight", Mogilevich was years into his US operations by then.

In 1992, he bribed a Russian judge to release Vyacheslav Ivankov, who "went on to consolidate a crime network and launder money" from the comfort of Trump Tower.
By 1995 Mogilevich had illicit businesses running out of NYC, Philadelphia, and Miami.

This was also around the time Trump turned Mar-a-Lago into a private club.

In 1999, Maxwell recruited a spa attendant for sexual abuse. Epstein was a member until 2007.
Mogilevich had indirect ties to Epstein through Ghislaine Maxwell.

Her father Robert had helped him secure an Israeli passport a few years before his death.

@LincolnsBible has a thread connecting a lot of these dots here👇
The most frustrating part about this whole affair is how obvious it all is.

Trump's Russian Mob ties are well documented. His ties to known sex traffickers is also well documented.

We deserve some answers on why our officials and the media keep ignoring these connections.

There are many indications that inside actors played a part in the attack on the Capitol.

Not just rhetoric, but actions that put lives of Members of Congress and Senators at increased risk.

Thread collecting these reports.
1/ Val Demings - "there was some inside assistance"
2/ Ayanna Pressley's Chief of Staff - Staff noticed all of the panic buttons in Pressley's office were torn out BEFORE the attack while they were barricading the room.

🚨 Think about the last dire warning from @AlexandraChalup you ignored.

Stop underestimating him. He is willing to go much lower than you expect.
On Telegram, Trump or someone close to him is using the right-wing media icons to get his most rabid followers into his channel. It's going viral in their circles.
Putin's biggest dream is fracturing the US, cause us the pain he felt when the USSR split up.

@sarahkendzior and @ruthbenghiat have been warning about this intent for a while now.

Something a lot of people get wrong about Trump: he actually has a very strong belief structure.

He's not "religious" in the ways most people recognize, but he believes in Norman Vincent Peale's "Power of Positive Thinking". 1/
In her book, @MaryLTrump confirmed that Donald and Fred (his father) truly believe that they can control outcomes if they think about them in a certain way.

It's not just wishful thinking, it's a Toxic Positivity ritual. 2/
That's why he's surrounded by sychophants and boot-lickers.

Anyone expressing negativity gets purged because he thinks their doubt sabotages his will.

Think about how dangerous that viewpoint is for someone becoming increasingly divorced from reality. 3/

The coup was not one location.

The coup was not one day.

The coup is ongoing.

Thread.
Jan 6 - Everyone knows the Capital was attacked, but multiple statehouses were also evacuated.

New Mexico - Staff were evacuated from the building that houses the governor and secretary of state's office after hundreds of Trump supporters arrived. 1/

I wasn't engaged in these things at the time, but I imagine that Timothy McVeigh's execution led many to claim that domestic terrorism was no longer a concern in the US.

It happened in 2001, three months before the Sept 11 attacks. 1/
After 9/11, the War on Terror led to the Patriot Act and increased "awareness" of terrorism and radicalization.

However, all of this was xenophobic and focused on the extremists from abroad.

Meanwhile the danger posed by extremists from within grew unabated. 2/
A 2006 Threat Assessment by the FBI warned of “self-initiated efforts by individuals, particularly among those already within law enforcement ranks, to volunteer their professional resources to white supremacist causes with which they sympathize.” 3/

1/ Trump doesn't care about legacy, family, or duty. He sure as fuck doesn't care about the law, or even money (he knows the illusion of money is just as good).

Trump only cares about himself, and his only motivation is power. An illegitimate "win" is a win to him.
2/ Imagine Trump playing a video game.

He'd try for 30 seconds, get destroyed, and quickly resort to cheat codes to get by.

After celebrating his ill-gotten victory, he'd quickly realize that he's empty inside. There would be no sense of accomplishment.
3/ From here it could go in two directions. He gets bored of the game and does something else, or he plays again.

Because he has no interest in developing any skills, he would continue to cheat using more elaborate codes.

He'll never be satisfied, so he'll continue to escalate.
