"Biden's new anti-corruption plan looks a lot like Mueller's 2011 'Iron Triangles' speech, which described how organized crime had infiltrated corporations, law firms, and governments. (Mueller then, of course, did nothing about that.)" -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/time-to-…
"Mueller described how the mafia of the 21st century is financial sophistication. It's real estate. It's accounting. The big difference in the Biden anti-corruption plan is that they won't discuss the existence of organized crime at all." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/time-to-…
"Trump Tower was a dorm for the Russian mafia. Trump is a paragon of laundering money through real estate. He was under investigation by the Treasury until he became president. This is one of the reasons career criminals run for office." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/time-to-…
"Biden's anti-corruption report outlines how critical fighting global corruption is to our national security, our sovereignty, the integrity of our elections. Whether the Biden admin actually *implements* the plan remains the question." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/time-to-…
"Bob Dole, who Biden will be praising this week in eulogies, embodied 'respectable corruption' in his later years. He was a foreign agent. Manafort was his campaign advisor. Dole worked for Oleg Deripaksa and was on the board of one of the most corrupt banks in Kyrgyzstan."
"Follow Bob Dole's career and you will see the rise of kleptocracy, especially after the end of the Soviet Union when both USSR-born oligarchs and Western enablers made a killing -- literally and figuratively -- alongside organized crime." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/time-to-…
"Everyone wants a clear-cut hero or a clear-cut villain. That's not the case in real life. A lot of people serve their country honorably at one point and then take a dark turn. They're lured by greed and lust for power, then contained by blackmail and bribes." -- @gaslitnation
"People would rather examine a cartoon villain than deal with someone like Dole -- or any of the compromised representatives who at one point served with integrity before moving in another direction. They don't want to admit that this corruption is possible." -- @gaslitnation
