🧵 1/ "[Santos] worked at a Melbourne, FL company called Harbor City Capital that was accused by the SEC in 2021 of running a $17 million Ponzi scheme. Subsequently, he supposedly made at least $3.5 million from...company called Devolder Organization LLC.
2/ The former managers of Harbor City Capital all seem to be pretty closely connected to Santos.
Melbourne, FL, and Merritt Island, FL are both located in #BrevardCounty which is home to America's Space Center at #CapeCanaveral
"Two of the firms linked to Santos and his associates are supposed strategy firms that got money from Republican congressional campaigns. One took in over $110,000 from the unsuccessful challenge to @AOC. The other did work for a candidate who claims to have never heard of them.
The SEC filing against Harbor City Capital names only Maroney, and not George Santos other, more closely affiliated associates. The complaint lists several shell companies located in Nevada and Wyoming.
DeVaughn Dames is an interesting character...to say the least. The chief financial officer Harbor City capital left one month after the SEC accused it of being a ponzi scheme, and he is affiliated with a number of businesses in FL.
Paul Nicolini is another. His LinkedIn profile says he has a "show" and says "Rtp Business Development" for employment, but SunBiz shows him owning several companies.
It's all very wierd. But #BrevardCounty is home to lots of wierdness. Last week a priest here was literally defrocked by the pope himself.
I can promise you, anything political involving a hundred thousand dollars happening HERE, in #BrevardCounty, would not escaped the notice of this area's two premier political Capos, Mike Haridopolis and Steve Crisafulli.
#BrevardCounty is home to the infamous #RandyFine who has punched above his weight in garnering national headlines for being a crook, liar, and idiot. Funny, he's also very much tied to casinos, racketeering, etc, and has committed numerous frauds himself.
Then there's our infamous sheriff, #WayneIvey. Ivey hand picked the State Atty, Phil Archer, who let #JoelGreenberg's epic crime spree go unchecked for years in neighboring Seminole County. He calls himself a 'Constitutional Sheriff". These pictures are all real.
Our congressman, Bill Posey, is an especially insane character and definitely an insurrectionist. But i've long suspected he is a russian asset.
Turns out, Santos got a bunch of his money from a sanctioned russian oligarch.
Here's all the background info a person could possibly want on the place. Everyone is shocked by that Santos guy, but to me, the least shocking thing about him is he got his $$ from here. Add this to the already numerous fed investigations happening here.
Here's a video from last October of Governor Ron DeSantis, Sheriff Wayne Ivey, and State Atty Phil Archer all not wanting the feds poking around down here. Kinda ironic, but i can't watch it without laughing. They all look so guilty and stupid.
I wonder if DeVaugan Dames, the registered agent for lyin' George #Santos#Devolder company in Merritt Island, FL is connected to this Central FL developer. They seem to both move a lot of money to and from the #Bahamas. Could just be a coincidence...🤔
Apparently, some of the connections lead to Miami...#BecauseMiami.
There are only four known clients of the Devolder Org: ...car dealerships, a firm tied to a Long Island insurance conglomerate, and two groups linked to none other than the Ruiz family.
And that Miami Billionaire was offended that those connections are public record, so he's threatening to sue activists and journalists. Which is stupid.
"Florida corporate filings show two Devolder LLC, were created about two weeks apart Jan '22. Their leadership consists of relatives of billionaire Miami atty John Ruiz, a personal injury and class action lawyer..."
Lmfao. It keeps getting crazier.
"Rep. George #Santos took an almost certainly illegal donation from an Italian national and confessed smuggler of undocumented immigrants—who is a relative of some of his closest local supporters and campaign vendors."
I guess I'd be hard to get a hold of if I was so closely affiliated with Santos...but I don't own or run a bunch of companies. The Brevard ppl seem to have ghosted the mess they are connected to.
Adding to the intrigue, their office in Melbourne, FL was a Stone's throw from a very large Leonardo DRS facility, which if anyone remembers, was the defense contractor from #ItalyGate that was supposedly switching votes using military satellites.
In case anyone forgot (everyone did) Trump's first rally as President on February 18, 2017 was at Melbourne International Airport...which also is just right up the street.
Remember up top, I said no one was moving that kind of political $$ around #BrevardCounty without being noticed? Former FL Senate Pres, Mike #Haridopolis lives on the same island where #Santos former boss, J.P. Maroney hosted a fundraiser featuring @DonaldJTrumpJr.
The reason I said that, is bc Mike #Haridopolis has his hands in rigging Florida's elections statewide. Seriously. Fake candidates, gerrymandering, voter suppression, Gaetz, Greenberg, #DataTargetingInc, you name it.

#HurricaneMilton did plenty of damage on land, but it's underreported how much TOXIC water pollution every hurricane creates in Florida and floods into the ocean. Sewage, toxic waste, farm runoff, yard chemicals...After 25 years of Republican "rule", our lakes, rivers, estuaries, and nearshore waters are in a state of unmitigated toxic death.
#DemandCleanWaterFL
2/ These are 4 threads that cover a lot of it. Great reading for any environmentalist, journalist, candidate or elected official, or just if you like fishing and are wondering wtf is wrong with Florida.
3/ The problem with Florida's waters are myraid. Developments in wetlands where they flood are just the tip of the floating turd. When they flood, household and construction chemicals of every kind are mixed in with all the plastics and debris that get washed into the river.
Thread 🧵 1/
James Okeefe claims to have infiltrated the #DNCConvention wearing a disguise where he secretly filmed attendees, and says he is about to "expose" Democrats using the hash tag #DNCExposed. But who is he?
#ProjectVeritas
2/ Many people remember him as the Republican operative who "exposed" A.C.O.R.N. about 15 years ago, when he used a hidden camera and heavily edited video to smear a group of community organizers who were helping people register to vote. He was sued for that, and lost.
3/ But why did he target A.C.O.R.N.?
"Obama, in 1992 did some work for Project Vote, an arm of the group, and he frequently told voters during last year's presidential campaign that he understood their concerns because he had worked as a community organizer."

Despite what the press is erroneously saying, Trump was NOT legally eligible to vote in Florida when he cast his ballot the other day, because our state constitution prohibits it. So what happened?
2/ Election denier Cord Byrd is Florida's Secretary of State who oversees our elections. He has claimed on Florida's Dept of State website, that because Trump is eligible to vote in NY, that he can vote in Florida. This is false:
3/ Florida's Constitution is very specific about who is disqualified from voting. It makes NO EXCEPTION or deference to other states' laws. Article 6, Section 4 👇
Thread🧵 1/ James O'Keefe is the creator of #ProjectVeritas, and he has been sued, charged with crimes, and been under a federal investigation for his "journalism". So, right now he's f-ing around with @mcuban
and he's about to find out. Again.
#JimmyQueef
2/ "James Edward O'Keefe III (born June 28, 1984) is an American political activist who...uses deceptively edited videos and information gathering techniques to attack mainstream media organizations and progressive groups."
3/ "In 2020, The New York Times published an exposé detailing #ProjectVeritas's use of spies recruited by #ErikPrince to infiltrate "Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Trump agenda".
1/ Short thread🧵
Florida's waterways are so dead and toxic, you can see it from space. If you've never seen how vast and interconnected florida's waterways are, you can't fathom how massive the problem is. It was not like this 25 years ago.
#DemandCleanWaterFL
2/ If the midwest is America's bread basket, The Everglades Agricultural Area is it's sugar bowl. Sugar Farming in FL has destroyed hundreds of sq. miles of wetlands and estuaries, and their corruption is only outsized by the amount of subsidies they get.
3/ Phosphate mining is how chemical fertilizer is mass-produced. It involves strip mining, and creating gigantic toxic radioactive waste piles called "gyp stacks". #PineyPoint is a gyp stack. They want to use the waste to build #RadioactiveRoads.
