Kevin Roberts, Texas Public Policy Foundation Executive Director, who strongly defended the cancellation of a talk at the Bullock Museum about a book that reexamines the Alamo myth, blocked me yesterday. Speaking of those TPPF 990s....#ForgetTheAlamo
...Took a look at the independent contractors @TPPF paid in '18 & '19 & Allen West's name popped out. West was paid $126k in '18 for "policy consulting". Working my through the list of other names...
...Returning to Kevin Roberts & the Texas Public Policy Foundations 990s, one wonders why TPPF employs a CPA firm in Kalamazoo Michigan to prepare its 990s. Would think there are hundreds of qualified firms in Texas....
...Putting this thread aside for another day. In '19, TPPF paid $334k to Anne Sorock Segal's Sorock Research Group. After a quick search, I realized I'm in danger of falling down the right wing dark money rabbit hole which I'm not up to at the moment.... legalinsurrectionfoundation.org/people/

Re allen.weisselberg@chevychasebank.net - This email account appears to be active. I don't know if it belongs to Trump's CFO, but here's what I do know about Trump's relationship w Capital One, Chevy Chase Bank & Chevy Chase Trust Holdings Inc....
...Per Trump's '15 financial disclosure, he had a $50m+ mortgage on 40 Wall St w Capital One, incurred in '05 & due in '17. He also had a $5m-$25m mortgage on Trump National DC w Chevy Chase Trust Holding Inc incurred in '09 & due in '29....
...At the end of his term in office, Trump still maintained a Capital One checking account w a balance of $5m-$25m. The 40 Wall St mortgage was refinanced by Ladder Capital in '15 & the terms of the Trump National DC w Chevy Chase Trust remained unchanged...
ItalyGate Update: Leaning heavily towards Curt Weldon's involvement in this nefarious scheme to undermine an election & Americans' faith in government. Here's the Black Star Holding Inc registration filed w the Nevada SoS in '07 & revoked in '09...
...I know who Curt Weldon, Michele Ballarin aka Michele Roosevelt Edwards & Perry Fulbright Davis are but I don't who William R. Newland is. Per his LinkedIn profile, Davis was w Special Forces for 22 years...
...Looks like Perry Davis has an ongoing business relationship w Michele R. Edwards/Ballarin since he has a WOW Air email address & two databases list an address on Lee Hwy in Warrenton VA for him which is the same address as several of Ballarin's companies...
Sticking w ItalyGate for awhile. Taking a closer look at the "members" of Americans For Intelligence Reform per the site. Members in quotes bc the the only members listed on the corporate registration & the 990s are Bradley C Johnson, Kayleigh Long & Brent D Jostad...
...First, an update on what Michele Roosevelt Edwards aka Michele Ballarin aka Michele Golden aka Amira Ballarin has been up to. On June 22 '21, she filed a change of registered agent w the VA SoS. More on that later...
...Next up on the Americans For Intelligence Reform roster after Bradley C Johnson is Richard T Higgins who was the subject of an Aug '17 Atlantic article by @RosieGray after McMaster fired him... theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
Thinking about movies in NYC in the '70s set me off on a search for an article I had read about bombings in NYC. Not the one I was looking for but this one from @atlasobscura reminded me NYC was bombed 370 times in an 18-month stretch bet '69 & '70... atlasobscura.com/articles/the-y…
...Maybe time for a "Where are they now?" series. In 1981, the FBI described Croation-American nationalists as "the most violent terrorist group in the United States" after the arrest of nine of them... nytimes.com/1981/07/23/us/…
...Just posting articles for now. Names of the eight Croation-American nationalists indicted in 1981 (one was 1arrested in Ontario).... nytimes.com/1981/06/26/us/…
Update: Not sure if I missed it the first time around but Schiller's purchase of a house in Boca for $1.1m in Aug '20 is recorded in PBC records sans address as is a $375k mortgage paid off three month later...1/?
...When Schiller bought a condo in Boca in Oct '18 for $444k, he apparently paid cash & then took out a $269k mortgage in from the same lender in Sept '19. Paid it off one month later. Odd....
...Back story behind Keith Schiller's purchase of a $1.1m house in Boca Raton gets more twisty. As PBC property records show, the house was sold in Sept '19 for $682.5k & then purchased by Schiller in Aug '20 for $1.1m. Here are the details....
An earlier comment re Trump's former bodyguard, Keith W. Schiller, prompted me to see what he's been up to. Looks like Schiller, 63, married a 28 yr old woman from the Philippines in Delray in '19. And that's not all...
...In Oct '18, Keith Schiller purchased a Boca condo from a Panamanian company for $444k & sold it for $575k in July '20. Maybe Keith's bride preferred to stay in Key Biscayne...
...Schiller reinstated the FL registration for his company, KS Global LLC, in Oct '20. He's also the registered agent for the Monte Realty Group LLC which apparently is Trump related but I don't remember hearing about it....
