Sounds like there are two new opaque “nonprofit” groups that need to be tracked.

America First Policy Institute, and Constitutional Litigation Partnership.
The second one:
The legal dream team that Trump has assembled here makes it pretty clear this whole effort is just a charade.

There is no real effort to win any cases against “big tech.” It’s just a grift for taking money, and another way to generate propaganda. Abusing the courts.

Lawfare.
One of the lawyers helping Trump in this grifting charade that is also an abuse of our legal system, is Greta Van Susteren’s husband, who doesn’t even practice law anymore.
His “legal team” isn’t even filing the lawsuits in the right state.

Erik Prince promised Ukrainian lawmakers a $35M cut of the profits if they would help him privatize their military.

He could be prosecuted for this under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

“We had to wonder: Is this the best sort of partnership we can get from the Americans? This group of shady characters working for a close ally of Trump?” says Novikov, the former aide to Ukraine’s president. “It felt like the worst America had to offer.”
Another piece of this story that should not be missed: the two Ukrainians who Prince chose to work with, are both Russian assets: Andriy Artemenko and Andriy Derkach.

And both are under criminal investigation for their role in the 2020 election.

This is what happened to a huge part of our pork processing industry in the US.

Smithfield is owned by a company that is controlled by the Chinese government.

China and Russia use unethical proceeds to opaquely buy out chunks of our industries. And our real estate, etc.
Watch the video in this PBS article to see how it went down (the whole thread is worth reading).

“Who’s behind the Chinese takeover of the world’s biggest pork producer?”

You will also see parallels with the way Kushner brokered the sale of our only nuclear reactor manufacturer, Westinghouse.

It wasn’t until after the fact that people were able to dig into the labyrinthine corporate structures involved, and realize who was behind the purchase.

“Barry County [MI] Sheriff Dar Leaf last year tried to enlist fellow “constitutional sheriffs” to seize Dominion voting machines”

And he “provided updates on the effort to Trump allies including attorney Sidney Powell and a contact for … Michael Flynn.”

bridgemi.com/michigan-gover…
“Carson Tucker [the Ann Arbor attorney who represented Leaf & included him on emails] asked Trump allies for information that might justify voting machine seizures by his client and other sheriffs “expressing an interest” in St. Joseph, Shiawassee, Lake and Jackson counties.”
On Dec. 15, Tucker emailed Carissa Keshel at the Fight Back Foundation, a nonprofit chaired by pro-Trump attorney L. Lin Wood, and asked for information about "counties that have been potentially compromised" in the Nov. 3 election.

Since the day of the Kaseya attack, I have been warning that this looked like another supply chain attack, similar to SolarWinds.

This is why it is ballooning, from 40 customers to over 1000, and it may still grow further, as it targets service providers.
theverge.com/2021/7/2/22561…
It was wise for Kaseya to shut down its cloud services, and to tell customers to shut down their VSA servers.

This likely reduced infections significantly, but when some of your customers host customers of their own, this has a ripple effect.
I started this thread as soon as we learned about the attack. It includes links to other threads that have more information.

Independent investigators have attributed the attack to the Russian REvil hacking group.

The 'Ndrangheta is among the richest and most powerful organized crime groups at a global level. It has a dominant position on the European cocaine market [and] reproduces abroad perfect copies of its operational structures.

January, more than 300 people arrested in ‘Ndrangheta sweep in Italy.
In 2019, Italian authorities found weapons and propaganda when they raided suspects who wanted to create an ‘openly pro-Nazi’ party.

Investigators say one of the trainers in the group was a former senior member of … Ndrangheta

🚨 Ransomware incident in progress.

If you run a Kaseya VSA server, Kaseya is recommending that you shut it down right now, because the first thing that the attack does is take away your admin access.

helpdesk.kaseya.com/hc/en-gb/artic…
Kaseya VSA is a remote monitoring and management product.

The details aren’t clear yet, but this could potentially be another supply chain attack, similar to (but not nearly as large/impactful as) the SolarWinds hack.
Here is a running thread with updates - follow this:
