Another rich Russian, another set of TrumpCrimers and another nab by the FBI. "There are photos of Vasilenko looking thoughtful, standing on army tanks, signing paperwork, embracing a private jet, and performatively enjoying the outdoors." motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
"the two funnelled $25,000 to the Trump campaign’s joint fundraising committee and pocketed the other $75,000." opensecrets.org/news/2021/09/g…
"Benton, a former campaign manager for Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), worked for the pro-Trump super PAC Great America PAC in 2016. In December 2020, Benton was pardoned by Trump on charges tied to hiding bribes in a 2012 scandal."
"Within weeks, the U.S. government had formally lifted sanctions on Rusal, citing a deal with the company that reduced the ownership interest of its Kremlin-linked founder, Oleg Deripaska. And three months later, Rusal announced plans for an extraordinary partnership"
"Deripaska sued Manafort in early 2018, claiming Manafort and his lobbying firm partner Richard Gates “vanished more than $18.9 million” of his investments in the late 2000s." #ItsAllTheSameScamcnbc.com/2019/03/18/ole…
Manafort (Roger Stone's frmr partner) worked for former President Viktor Yanukovych. When Paulie Two Suits got zapped, Rudy and the clown show stepped into the breach. businessinsider.com/rudy-giulianis…
These mercenary front men and Putin oligarchs were the comical, visible part of a very robust influence and intelligence campaign by the Russian GRU to defeat Clinton and bolster Trump's chances. They won. But wait..don't order your subpoena there's more.brookings.edu/blog/order-fro…
The Russians coordinated these efforts with the UAE, KSA and Israel to penetrate deep into Trump's administration and our foreign policy. So much so that a child molester and a murderer were advising Kushner/Trump on the Middle East. vanityfair.com/news/2018/05/j…
Coordination with foreign agents was so blatant that numerous Trump proxies were comfortable enough to lie under oath about what transpired at the foundational conspiracy meeting in the Seychelles. A meeting that reshaped the Middle East and Africa. intelligence.house.gov/news/documents…
This month there was another 12 hour foundational meeting by the intelligence services of the UAE in which it was presented that Wagner will take a far more aggressive military role and the Gulf will flow money into the ruptured areas in...Europe. Kosova and Ukraine first.
The UAE/Russia will force violent and soft change in numerous nations as they roll their strong man strategy to erase democracy and control trade. Old frenemies like Turkey, Israel and others are invited to the party. This is why Trump removed our troops. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The damage by foreign agents has already been done. We are just cleaning up the mess from half a decade ago. We need to look over the horizon and fix what is happening right now. Trump and his family officially cucked America for money. nordicmonitor.com/2021/10/turkis…

The Washington Post is expanding reporting on the sedition cels in two locations near the White House on January 6. Full auto tweeter Seth Abramson does a good job of listing the participants. If only he knew what some actually did for a living. sethabramson.substack.com/p/major-breaki…
WaPo shows the pressure put on legitimate lawmakers. What they and Seth don't examine is why ex military psyops professionals were in the team. Folks it wasn't about a stolen election it was about making stupid voters believe the election was stolen. washingtonpost.com/investigations…
Psyops or Strategic Communications (Stratcom) or even "fuckery" is America's stock and trade. The dark arts are not to be used on our own citizens in our own country. But they did. washingtonpost.com/news/worldview…
Jeff Bezo's lusted after sailing yacht the Oceanco Black Pearl but it was sold. So in 2018 he ordered Y721 for just under half a billion. Only one problem they won't build a helipad on a masted ship so Jeff will need another yacht to get to his yacht. boatinternational.com/yachts/news/ga…
In classic rich guy logic, the $200m, Black Pearl is promoted as being able to cross the oceans without burning a single gallon of fuel. It costs about $20 million a year to operate with a crew of 18. The owner Oleg Burlakov died of Covid this year. oceancoyacht.com/fleet/black-pe…
Although Jeff's boat is bigger, blacker and longer. It's still not the beautiful Black Pearl. Which he could have bought for half the price of his his giant ship. Kind of a Titanic homage to making things bigger...just cuz. forbes.com/sites/billspri…
"Straw Donor" is a polite name for political corruption in which a donor uses multiple ways to donate money to a candidate. The Trump campaign is littered with accusations of this tactic. Domestic donors seeking Quid Pro Quo are not the biggest problem. campaignlegal.org/update/clc-com…
This is not to be confused with the "Straw Man" argument. A ridiculous attack meant to divert, confuse or deflect a real argument. Trump and his cultists are the the master of straw arguments. But stupid people and trolls don't really care. inverse.com/article/25781-…
So essentially at it's height... the entire traffic of Parler was equal to one decent RYP snark tweet? Damn: "According to data from Sensor Tower, Parler downloads went from 517,000 in December [2020] to 11,000 in June [2021]" cnn.com/2021/10/21/pol…

Fiona Hill is an expert in Eastern European fuckery. Believe what she says. Trump has no ability to win the popular vote but he and his trolls are drilling under the foundation of democracy every day. businessinsider.com/fiona-hill-tru…
The Abraham Accords money laundering machine keeps on rolling: "receive as much as $2 billion from Saudi Arabia for Affinity, a private equity-style fund that will look for opportunities where Kushner's "geopolitical insight" can be brought to bear." project-brazen.ghost.io/jared-kushners…
Jared moved about $2B in secret funds while at the Trump administration. Two of the payees were/have been held under house arrest for financial investigation. (Erik Prince in Feb and Ludin Castillo as we speak) and the other recipients are dodgy as fuck like Khalifa Haftar.
Jared used his compromised iPhone 7 and it was repeatedly hacked with details shared with various intelligence agencies. One European spy agency replicated the hack and confirmed how it was done. MBS is a a paranoid guy. But this move appears to be the ultimate quid pro quo.
