"The UDV is ..a religion “shrouded in mystery” and derived from a nativist religious movement in Brazil whose core beliefs are a “mixture of Christianity, Freemasonry, Kardecism/Spiritism, and tiny sprinkles of African-based religions "
"It incorporates “lots of stories from other religions changed/tweaked to fit this religion” like “the story of Theseus and the Minotaur, the beheading of John the Baptist,” and they “believe King Solomon invented ayahuasca,”"
"When the UDV brought its case forward, the U.S. gov't attempted to justify its position of prohibition...The UDV’s argument ultimately succeeded, maintaining that U.S. laws guaranteeing the “free exercise of religion” trumped those prohibitions" - MAPS maps.org/news/bulletin/…

@ThomasWelch15 So much to dig into from here. But I just wanted a quick and dirty overview of how many companies were already connected before C19, by only ONE company.
@ThomasWelch15 On OpenSecrets the Podesta lobbying firm was bipartison. On X, they are strongly linked with the Clintons and the Democrats. The real picture is far more complex.
@ThomasWelch15 And I'm now thinking that the demise of the Podesta Group in 2017 was a psyop. Tony Podesta is back in DC.
Let's go through some of the companies that Tony Podesta and his group of lobbyists in DC were working for in 2017 .. 🎶 opensecrets.org/federal-lobbyi…
