@Observat1onist @sisu_sanity Yup!
@Observat1onist @sisu_sanity I’m particularly interested in the Opus Dei connections through the Catholic Information Center. Which not only involve convicted Russian spy Robert Hanssen…
@Observat1onist @sisu_sanity …but also Billy Barr, Leonard Leo, Pat Cipollone…
@Observat1onist @sisu_sanity …Thomas Yannucci (another Kirkland and Ellis partner)…
@Observat1onist @sisu_sanity …and Father Arne Panula…
@Observat1onist @sisu_sanity …and hence Peter Thiel.
@Observat1onist @sisu_sanity I think it’s important to remember that one of the key points of this thread is that a Russian oligarch connected to Putin (Zaikin) worked with Alptekin (who also has his own business connections to Putin) to set up these lobbying efforts on behalf of the Turkish government.
@Observat1onist @sisu_sanity And that Putin and his oligarchs hire the best lawyers, auditors, bankers, and lobbyists to help them develop legal means to conceal and launder their funds.
@Observat1onist @sisu_sanity In fact, I probably should have led this entire thread with this point!
@Observat1onist @sisu_sanity @j2dumfounded another unbelievably important point about Kazeminy: He is related to one of the founders of Qanon, Thomas Schoenberger!
@Observat1onist @sisu_sanity @j2dumfounded And Kazeminy and Schoenberger are business partners in a company called Amadeus Investors LLC.

ft.com/content/71ed10…
An online payment provider which last month settled US charges that it assisted fraudsters was a longstanding client of Wirecard, underlining concern about anti-money laundering procedures at the controversial German payments group. Image
The Federal Trade Commission said Allied Wallet helped perpetrators to defraud more than $110m from consumers in scams, pyramid schemes and unlawful debt collection operations. The company and its officers settled without admitting or denying the allegations. Image

Re-upping this, because this Schoenberger dude called my 86 year old parents today and threatened them. Which means that we must be directly over the target.
According to @HeavySan, Schoenberger was previously married to Nasser Kazeminy’s cousin and had a son. And Kazeminy is reportedly the godfather of that son.
According to @HeavySan, Kazeminy and Schoenberger formed a company together called Amadeus Investors which has allegedly paid $100k to Schoenberger.

My lizard brain tells me that the connections between Barrack & Manafort to the Saudis, Bushes, & criminal networks dating back to the 1970s might be significant. What was the name of the Saudi construction company that Manafort represented with Vorys, Sater, Seymour and Pease?
Serious question: Was it SBG?
@sisu_sanity @clearing_fog are you catching my drift here? Sometime between 1977-1980, Manafort worked with a construction company in Saudi Arabia. Was this Saudi Binladin Group? Then by 1985, he was in The Philippines.

A cabal of KGB operatives stationed in Arab countries and Israel took over Russian foreign intelligence at the end of the Cold War. Their impact is still felt.

thedailybeast.com/how-a-renegade…
Kapitonov was part of a group known in Russian intelligence as “the Middle Eastern mafia,” a cabal of Arabist or Perisianist KGB officers who in the late 1980s took over the KGB foreign intelligence service and, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, reinvented it in their image
Their skill set, to sow disinformation and propaganda in a part of the world where conspiracy theories and lies are rife to begin with, has now become highly relevant again, affecting the psychological underpinnings of democracies and dictatorships alike.

‘Russian Mafia’ : KGB Steers Criminals to U.S. Careers

latimes.com/archives/la-xp…
“The KGB will help me [get to the U.S.],” the confident swindler replied. The Soviet secret police had helped his friends get to the United States by obtaining exit visas to Israel, he said, and he expected the same.
Sharansky’s encounter, described in a recent interview, reflects growing evidence that the KGB has systematically helped criminals leave the Soviet Union. And U.S. officials say the Kremlin appears to have, from its point of view, two eminently practical reasons for doing so:
