With recent NSO news a reminder that Erik Prince is a director of Eitanium Ltd with two directors who have links to NSO

Website describes Eitanium Cyber Solutions:

"Unlock any device to access important information with an ingenious EITANIUM system..."

wsiegelman.medium.com/eitanium-ltd-c…
Thread on Eitanium Ltd, first found by @ktskts11

There's no indication that Eitanium Ltd has any direct connection to NSO, however directors have either worked with NSO or with NSO execs in the past, and Erik Prince has invested in Wickr and Agent Video Intelligence (secure messaging and video intel cos)

NEW: Who Murdered Billionaire Epstein pal Les Wexner's lawyer?

Some questions about Epstein's activities in the 1990s may be answered by what an unsolved murder investigation reveals about Wexner's business before he met Epstein

From me & @WillBredderman
thedailybeast.com/who-murdered-a…
In 1985 a day before lawyer Arthur Shapiro was set to testify before a grand jury for dodging taxes he was murdered

Bob Fitrakis published findings of a 1991 police report that said Shapiro worked on The Limited account and looked at Wexner associates
thedailybeast.com/who-murdered-a…
A suspect was identified, Wexner isn't accused of any involvement in the murder

The memo shows links from Wexner associates to others allegedly involved w/organized crime

New research shows Epstein named in 1990s dissolution docs for 2 companies in memo

Colombians held in Haitian assassination say they were hired by FL firm CTU Security run by Venezuelan émigré Antonio Enmanuel Intriago Valera

Interesting details on Intriago who is authorized by the state to provide security services & to carry a firearm
tampabay.com/news/florida/2…
Intriago’s CTU is formally registered as Counter Terrorist Unit Federal Academy LLC and lists a member named Arcangel Pretel Ortiz, who ran a now-defunct security firm called Taktical Consulting Corp.

tampabay.com/news/florida/2…
Intriago and his now ex-wife owned a South FL newspaper company Prensa Libre Newspaper Corp. 2003-2009

Nothing indicates Intriago had the money or scope to train dozens of private soldiers to raid the private residence of the Haitian president & kill him

Our infrastructure is not ready for severe weather

Meanwhile, most of the GOP is denying climate change, fighting against the infrastructure bill and as @maddow noted last night, their primary focus is on the big lie and launching an audit in PA of the 2020 election 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Trump International Golf Club Scotland Ltd - Termination of appointment of Allen Weisselberg as a director 8 July 2021

Is Weisselberg the new Sater? Trump on Sater: “If he were sitting in the room right now I really wouldn't know what he looked like”

…te.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/SC2921…
The removal process for US companies will be a bit more complicated - Allen Weisselberg is currently (or was previously) listed as an officer on 180 companies (1 with jurisdiction in the UK (noted in tweet above), 3 in Panama and the rest in the US)

opencorporates.com/officers?utf8=…
Correction to tweet - I should have said Allen Weisselberg is listed as an officer 181 times - he is sometimes listed in different officer roles for the same company and may be listed on branches of related companies
