Court grants permission for judicial review into Unexplained #WealthOrder against Donald Trump

The judge's approval of the #McMafiaLaw probe represents "a significant hurdle" for legal efforts to scrutinize the financing of Trump's resorts

#MOG scotsman.com/news/politics/…
#Avaaz, a US-based non-profit activism organisation, petitioned #Scotland’s highest court after MSPs rejected calls to pursue an Unexplained Wealth Order (UWO) against the former US president’s Scottish firms.
#Avaaz

"Its petition to the court stated that there are 'no reasonable grounds' to suspect that known sources of lawfully obtained income would have been sufficient to bankroll Mr Trump's acquisition of his Scottish properties."

#MOG
"Unexplained Wealth Orders" allow authorities to target suspected corrupt foreign officials who have potentially laundered stolen money through the UK. If the suspected officials can't prove a legitimate source for their wealth, authorities can seize the properties in question.

DARK MONEY AT PLAY

#MOG rawstory.com/democrat-urges…
"The attack on the Capitol on Jan 6 was the culmination of a months-long disinformation campaign designed to allow Trump to remain in office," Whitehouse began. "Public reporting indicates that this campaign was organized and funded by dark-money organizations and powerful donors
"A well-organized network of conservative dark money groups—whose covert operations my Senate colleagues and I have tracked and reported on in other contexts —lent financial and strategic support to President Trump's efforts to overturn the election.

‘BIOLOGICAL WEAPON?”

Republicans Covid bioweapon. Then it turned against them

Republicans apparently imagined that the pandemic would strike Democratic states and cities first. In 2020 Black, Latinx and indigenous were disproportionately affected

To put it clearly, Republicans enabled a campaign of mass death and disablement, thinking it would be primarily mean death and illness for those they regarded as opponents.

The worst-hit areas in the country are now Republican-led states and regions.

#MOG defenseone.com/ideas/2021/07/…
From 2016 to 2018, the #UAE conspired, with #GeorgeNader and others, to make +$3.5 million in illegal campaign donations to garner influence
