Israel classifies NSO’s Pegasus spyware as a military weapon, requiring Israel’s Defense chief to sign off on every external license. Netanyahu’s government authorized its sale to authoritarian regimes, which used it against human rights activists, journalists, and dissidents. 1/
NSO’s Pegasus spy weapon has been reported on for the past years, but this is a massive exposé by The Pegasus Project, overseen by @FbdnStories with forensic support by @amnesty, and a coalition of 17 media outlets. Its website is chilling…

The list of governments Israel approved NSO to license its Pegasus spy weapon to under Putin’s ally Netanyahu’s regime, spans globally and includes the Saudis who used it to spy on Jamal Khashoggi’s close associates and appears to be linked to a murdered journalist in Mexico. 3/
Democracy dies in darkness, and Israel, under Netanyahu’s criminal regime, played a significant role empowering some of the greatest threats to democracy who used Israel’s military spy weapon against those who shine light to protect democracy. We need global accountability. 4/

Huge deal that Donald J. Trump’s longtime business partner and friend who headed his shady Inauguration (of which Rick Gates was called “the shadow chair”) has been arrested. Barrack was Trump’s connector to Middle East and worked w/ Manafort since 1970s.
cnbc.com/2021/07/20/tho…
Tom Barrack successfully gaslit journalists and Congress with an email he wrote Trump about hiring Paul Manafort, “a real killer,” on the campaign. Yet, the three men worked closely together for decades. His email gave Putin’s guy Manafort cover.
abcnews.go.com/Politics/tom-b…
In 2006, Manafort purchased a unit on 43rd floor of Trump Tower with Central Park/5th Avenue views and worked w/ Trump since 1980s as KGB targeted Trump, and w/ Barrack for Saudis since 1970s. Trump already knew long ago Manafort was a “real killer.”

While this document released by a “leak” in the Kremlin confirms Vladimir Putin held a meeting January 22, 2016 and ordered multiple Russian intelligence agencies to attack the U.S. to install an “unstable” Donald Trump as President, the plan was in place years before. 🧵 1/
1980s: Trump takes KGB trip to Moscow, returns, says he’ll run for POTUS, pushes Kremlin agenda

1990s: Trump-Russia mafia deals/Epstein compromised. Test run for POTUS

2000s: Russian mafia deals, Kremlin agenda promoted

2010s: Attacks Obama, executes Kremlin’s POTUS plan

First, it’s important to understand that in the mid-1980s, the Soviet Union knew it was finished and the KGB increased it’s focus on targeting and forming alliances with westerners who could be manipulated for its short and long term purposes. 3/

This is a big deal. Donald J. Trump told the Secretary of Defense that he was planning to pull the U.S. out of NATO and “blow up the U.S. alliance with South Korea.”
Translation, Trump was going to fully implement Putin’s agenda in a second term.

It’s clear the United States has all the evidence it needs to prosecute Donald J. Trump and his co-conspirators for treason. Congress should abolish the death penalty and the Department of Justice needs to start dropping indictments.
From Donald Trump’s public admission at CPAC that he got worse after his impeachments (1st one for working with Kremlin agents to hurt Ukraine and American opponents, 2nd was related to a Kremlin-linked insurrection, a domestic terrorist attack on the U.S.). He will get worse.

Ken Starr used “scorched earth” tactics to desperately defend child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, who compromised powerful westerners & provided intel to Mossad/Russia/Russian mafia. Starr, who investigated Epstein’s pal Bill Clinton, helped Epstein avoid real accountability.
This painting that kompromat collector and child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein displayed in his NYC mansion, symbolizes his power:
Epstein’s close friend Bill Clinton was aggressively investigated by Ken Starr (1994-1999), Ken Starr aggressively defended Jeffrey Epstein (2008).
It’s not a coincidence but a reflection of the crisis we’re in that in 2016, both major parties put forward presidential tickets compromised by Jeffrey Epstein and that Jeffrey Epstein’s top legal operatives defended Putin’s POTUS during impeachment. nbcnews.com/think/opinion/…

Castro regime has to go and Cubans deserve strong support from the U.S., but one doesn’t need to be a chess master to understand Putin’s soldiers Rubio and Cruz are part of an operation to help install a Cuban mafia regime, mirroring the playbook of the post Soviet Union.
Republicans, including Rubio and Cruz, don’t care about human rights in Cuba. They don’t care about human rights in the U.S., including in their states. These are professional transactional operators, it’s business and they have an interest in a new Russian/Cuban-mafia regime.
Trump did business in Cuba. His business partner Manafort has ties to Castro. He gave boss Putin a gift w/ sanctions, pushed Castro closer to Moscow. Under Obama’s policies, he and GOP could have cut huge deals in Cuba but Kremlin wouldn’t let them, new mafia regime is a win-win.

Donald J. Trump’s security is dangerously poor, he needs immediate serious protection. Putin has no use for him other than disposing of him in a manner that will have horrific implications for the US for next 100 years as a third of the country will reject the federal government.
Vladimir Putin’s end game was to destroy the U.S. He failed but now his plan B is to cause the most long term damage possible and with indictments looming and Trump no longer a source of power but a liability, we are entering dangerous territory and his security is visibly weak.
At CPAC, Donald J. Trump admitted responsibility for January 6th and implicated himself and lot of people in the process. He cannot walk this back and needs to be brought to justice and that requires the highest level of witness protection immediately.
