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

Let’s make quick thread to review a fun story about CIA narcotics trafficking.
When the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in 1979, the petro industry had a serious concern that the Russians would push on to the Straits of Hormuz and cut off the supply of oil to the United States.
So Joanne Herring, who was the wife Houston Natural Gas chairman Bob Herring and a childhood neighbor of James Baker III, decided to arm and train the Mujahideen in Afghanistan to resist the Russian invasion.

House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin, in letters to the CEOs of BNY, Bank of America, JPMorgan & Deutsche Bank, asked how Epstein could have conducted more than $1.5 billion in suspicious transactions for years without being caught.

The FinCEN Files revealed that BNY Mellon reported suspicious transfers from the transactions operated by Aktif Bank, notably those involving New Kabul Bank and Germany’s Wirecard Bank, and went as far as to freeze a number of accounts.

The Mystery Of Dubai's Vaporized Gold: The Plot Thickens

talkmarkets.com/content/the-my…
Earlier this week [Dec 2015], we told a fascinating story about an unprecedented, multi-year smuggling ring involving Turkey, Iran, and Dubai (as well as China, Russia and countless other nations). Image
It described corruption reaching to the very top of the political and financial establishment: from president Erdogan in Turkey, to one of Turkey's richest people, Iran-born Riza Sarraf [aka Reza Zarrab],… Image

We are going to reach a point, relatively soon, where even the MAGA idiots are going to start wondering why they don’t have food or water and why every day brings dangerous weather. The petro energy industry can’t wait until that point to clamp down on freedom. They must act now.
The current narrative ignores the connection between climate change and weather disaster and quite literally blames the Biden administration, falsely (and comically) claiming that Biden allocated all of the disaster relief funding to Ukraine and illegal immigrants. This is false.
It’s cynically ironic to blame Ukraine, because we quite obviously made a deal with Russia to trade Ukraine for Iran.

If you don’t know the story of Michele Sindona, Banco Ambrosiano, and Operation Gladio, then you should review it and get up to speed, because it provides an important lens through which to interpret modern events.
For example, we can connect Sindona and Gladio to David M Kennedy and Continental Illinois Bank.
And we have some specific evidence from 1970s diplomatic cables to suggest that Continental Illinois Bank was part of the money laundering operation that was used to fund Operation Gladio.

Investigating the SOCAR scam in Malta is what got Daphne Galizia murdered.
SOCAR connects to Reza Vaziri.
And SOCAR connects to Halliburton (hence Dick Cheney).
