With all of the recent interest in the Alfa Bank/Spectrum Health/Heartland Payment Systems/Trump Org server communications story (and the related Durham indictments), I’ve been asked to make an index of my various threads on the subject. So here we go…⬇️⬇️⬇️

So I first made the connection to the Khawaja micro donation scheme here:

And I specifically reviewed Khawaja’s interview with Paul Wood, in which he described the scheme, further down in that thread here:

I reviewed the server communications as reported by @just_security in Sept 2020 here:

I reviewed @NewYorker’s October 2020 coverage of the server communication story here:

And I reviewed the September 2021 coverage of the issue by @briankrebs here:

I laid out in some detail how the scheme might actually work here:

Pretty early on in ⬆️ that ⬆️ thread, I note that Khawaja alleges that the motivation for UAE’s interest in the micro donation scheme is their desire to see the US back out of the Obama Iran nuke deal and to reimpose strict sanctions upon Iran.

If you’re interested in the complicated (but extremely important) story behind Iranian sanctions, I lay that out in excruciatingly painful detail here:

There are two other important stories that are tangentially related that I will include here too for easy reference. The first is Alfa Group’s long history with narcotics trafficking & money laundering and Dick Cheney’s business dealings with them circa 2000.

And the second is the business dealings of the infamous Carlyle Group private equity firm with Alfa Group and George HW Bush’s work toward soliciting Russian capital circa 2003.

Also once you’ve gotten a taste of Alfa Group’s enthusiastic participation in the narcotics business, then you might want to move on to Viktor Chernomyrdin, Gazprom, Enron, and Brett Kavanaugh. It’s all related.

There are some inaccurate takes on the Durham indictments floating around Twitter, some of which are asserting that operation Crossfire Hurricane & the Carter Page investigation were initiated as a result of the Steele dossier. That’s factually incorrect. Find the OIG report here
