GORDON: Durham Indictment In Russiagate Could Lead To Jake Sullivan | The Daily Caller

J.D. Gordon is a former National Security & Foreign Policy Advisor to Republican leaders Donald Trump, Mike Huckabee and Herman Cain. dailycaller.com/2021/09/20/gor…
Gordon, a former naval officer and Pentagon spokesperson under George W. Bush’s administration, invited Butina to a Styx concert and to his birthday party, according to documents and testimony given to the Senate Intelligence Committee and described to the Post.
Erickson described Butina as a “special friend” of the NRA in the introductory email and said that Gordon had a “crucial role in the Trump transition effort and would be an excellent addition to any of the US/Russia friendship dinners to occasionally hold.”
Butina responded to the email with an invitation for Gordon to attend a group dinner hosted by another one of her US contacts, conservative writer George O’Neill Jr., but he couldn’t go. But their contacts continued, with Gordon, 50, inviting Butina to get drinks and go to the
Styx concert and to attend his birthday party in October of that year.

SCL Group (formerly Strategic Communication Laboratories) was a private British behavioural research and strategic communication company that came to prominence through the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data
scandal involving its subsidiaries Cambridge Analytica and Crow Business Solutions MENA. It was founded in 1990 by Nigel Oakes, who served as its CEO. SCL began targeting elections in developing countries in the early 1990s, and has engaged in psychological warfare in military
contexts as a contractor for the American and British militaries during the Afghanistan War and the Iraq War. In 2013 it established the subsidiary Cambridge Analytica that worked on the Ted Cruz and Donald Trump campaigns during the 2016 US presidential election and even now
the proclaimed associated office in Cairo that opened during the global pandemic of COVID-19. The company's leaders and owners had close ties to the Conservative Party (UK), the British royal family and the British military, and its investors included some of the largest donors
to the Conservative Party. Cambridge Analytica is heavily funded by hedge-fund billionaire Robert Mercer, a major supporter of Cruz and then Donald Trump, and is now under investigation by both the UK and the US governments. The company has since been disbanded and was bought by
Emerdata Limited. Emerdata's board of directors included Frontier Services Group officer Johnson Chun Shun Ko a Hong Kong businessman linked to Erik Prince (founder of Blackwater), Cambridge Analytica investor Rebekah Mercer, and Cambridge Analytica CEO Alexander Nix.
Mercer helped start Reclaim New York with Steve Bannon in 2013. Mercer and her father, Robert Mercer were key financial benefactors for Breitbart News. Robert Leroy Mercer (born July 11, 1946) is an American hedge fund manager, former principal investor in the now-defunct
Cambridge Analytica, and computer scientist. Mercer was an early artificial intelligence researcher and developer and is the former co-CEO of the hedge fund company Renaissance Technologies. Renaissance was founded in 1982 by James Simons, an award-winning mathematician and
former Cold War code breaker. Their foundation has since made many contributions to a host of other charities including but not limited to the Chabad on Campus International Foundation, Math for America, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, the Public Radio station WNYC and many more
over the years. In 1988, the firm established its most profitable portfolio, the Medallion Fund, which used an improved and expanded form of Leonard Baum's mathematical models, improved by algebraist James Ax, to explore correlations from which they could profit.
The company is now run by Peter Brown (after Robert Mercer resigned). Both of them were computer scientists specializing in computational linguistics who joined Renaissance in 1993 from IBM Research. James Simons founded Renaissance Technologies following a decade as the Chair
of the Department of Mathematics at Stony Brook University. In 1958, at the request of the Secretary of Defense, IDA established a division to support the newly created Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), later renamed the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
Shortly after its creation, the mandate of this division was broadened to include scientific and technical studies for all offices of the Director of Defense, Research and Engineering (DDR&E).[5]
Universities overseeing IDA expanded from the five initial members in 1956 —
Caltech, Case Western Reserve, MIT, Stanford and Tulane — to twelve by 1964 with the addition of California, Chicago, Columbia, Illinois, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Princeton. IDA’s support of the National Security Agency began at its request in 1959, when it established the
Center for Communications Research in Princeton, New Jersey.

In the email, obtained by BuzzFeed News, Krauss invited hedge fund billionaire James Simons to attend a workshop on the origins of money being organized by Epstein at Arizona State. Krauss claimed that Gates,
Virgin Group founder Richard Branson, and Lawrence Summers, formerly president of Harvard and Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton, had already been brought on board by Epstein.
Simons declined the invitation, and the workshop ultimately didn’t take place.
Other photos show the participants mingling before or after taking their seats. Also present were Bezos; Musk; Brin; Salar Kamangar, then CEO of YouTube; Mayer, who the following year left Google to become CEO of Yahoo; and Anne Wojcicki, Brin’s then-wife and CEO of genetic
testing startup 23andMe.
This was not the first time that some of these tech titans had rubbed shoulders with Epstein at Brockman’s billionaires’ dinners: Bezos and Brin — along with fellow Google cofounder Larry Page — are listed on the Edge website as attending in 2004, and
the Amazon CEO was at the 1999 event, both of which Epstein also attended.

By 1858, the center of cotton trading had shifted from the South to New York City, where factors and commission houses were based. Lehman opened its first branch office at 119 Liberty Street, and 32-year-old Emanuel relocated there to run the office. Following the war the
company helped finance Alabama's reconstruction. The firm's headquarters were eventually moved to New York City, where it helped found the New York Cotton Exchange in 1870, commodifying the crop; Emanuel sat on the board of governors until 1884. The firm also dealt in the

Project Veritas - Wikipedia

Much of the funding for Project Veritas comes from anonymous donations through Donors Trust, a conservative, American nonprofit donor-advised fund backed by the Koch brothers, which according to its promotional materials, says en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_V…
that it will "keep your charitable giving private, especially gifts funding sensitive or controversial issues". Lt. Col. Duncan Chaplin Lee (1913–1988) was confidential assistant to Maj. Gen. William ("Wild Bill") Donovan, founder and director of the Office of Strategic Services
(OSS), World War II-era predecessor of the CIA, during 1942–46. Lee is identified in the Venona project as the Soviet double agent operating inside OSS under the cover name "Koch," making him the most senior alleged source the Soviet Union ever had inside American intelligence.
