It was the Annenberg Foundation that was chosen to manage and disperse funds raised by the FireAid benefit concert. But who are the Annenbergs? Though unelected, the Annenberg family has influenced public opinion, policy, and international diplomacy in the U.S. for decades—often under the banner of “philanthropy.” 🧵

Moses Annenberg, a Prussian immigrant, built a media empire that included The Philadelphia Inquirer. His son, Walter Annenberg, transformed the family fortune into a national cultural force founding TV Guide, led by Triangle Publications, and later became U.S. Ambassador to the U.K. under President Nixon. Walter and his wife Leonore were known not only for their deep political ties—including to Ronald Reagan and Queen Elizabeth II—but also for their commitment to philanthropy. (Walter Annenberg remains the only U.S. ambassador to have been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II).
Walter ultimately donated over $2 billion to causes in education, arts, and diplomacy, with his legacy institutionalized through the creation of the Annenberg Foundation in 1989.

One of their most “transformative contributions” was in public broadcasting and education. The Annenbergs were major backers of PBS and NPR, helping fund hundreds of hours of programming for classrooms and the general public.

Over the years, the Annenberg family has donated more than $350 million to the University of Southern California, with the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism bearing their name.

🚨 Breaking. EXCLUSIVE new details in the evolving story of San Diego’s South Park Buona Forchetta restaurant raided by @ICEgov on May 30.
I looked deeper into the owners, hoping to provide—what I believe—is much needed context surrounding this complex story. Their pizza is amazing, but their business practices…not so much.
Thank you @MiaStretchSquad for research support. 🧵

Matteo Cattaneo is married to Dr. Alexa Pilar Kollmeier, a doctor specializing in internal medicine, allergy & immunology and currently practices in La Jolla, CA.
She earned her medical degree from Tel Aviv University’s Sackler School of Medicine in 1998, with a residency in internal medicine at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine and a fellowship in allergy and immunology at Scripps Clinic/Scripps Green Hospital.

In addition to her clinical practice, Dr. Kollmeier has an extensive background in pharmaceutical research. She has worked at Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen Research & Development, contributing to numerous scientific publications. Her research primarily focuses on immune-mediated conditions such as psoriatic arthritis. Dr. Kollmeier is also listed as an inventor on patents related to the treatment of PsA using anti-IL-23 antibodies (Janssen Biotech, Inc).

With a slogan—“Matteo, a 100% non-profit restaurant dedicated to raising funds for community programs and educational opportunities for the youth of San Diego," —why does Matteo Cattaneo’s passion project “Matteo for a Cause,” have a delinquent status as a non-profit restaurant with no tax filings since its 2020 inception? Where is all this charitable money going? And why would you give away thousands of dollars to your community but not take care of your employees, allegedly?
Mateo for a Cause is registered as “Bf For A Cause Inc” with EIN: 84-1855786.

We are getting played so hard. San Diego: this is who is overseeing all “homeless programs” and $80+ million spent on them. Meet Sarah Jarman, a 30 year old California family heiress whose sister is Vanessa Getty—married to Billy Getty with Gavin Newsom as the best man at their wedding and Nancy Pelosi in attendance. Kamala Harris is the godmother to Sarah Jarman’s niece & nephews.

Claude Jarman Jr., her father, was a famous child actor. Oh! And she’s an actress, too! Her twin sister, Charlotte, is about to marry into the Folger family. Nothing to see here.

We were told through various media sources that Faheem Muhammad bought the San Diego border land but the paper trail tells a different story.

Through the hunting map “onX,” the property is listed as being owned by the “Dior Sunset Foundation” which has a Los Angeles mailing address. This address is also listed on the tax records.

The Dior Sunset Foundation teaches inner city youth social skills, gang involvement prevention, and gives instructions on how to engage in a healthy lifestyle.

Clifford Dion Jackson is the foundation manager of Dior Sunset Foundation. His nonprofit is listed as a behavior analyst provider in the NPI database but here he uses a different address. He also has another company called Point and Circle LLC.
All share the address 516 W Esther St., Long Beach, CA 90813.

When we look up 516 W Esther St., Long Beach, we find the masonic Sunset Lodge #26, hence the name “Sunset” Dior Foundation. (I believe the “Dior” comes from P. Diddy’s son Justin Dior Combs, who is also named in Rodney Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy). This is speculation of course but I am choosing to share even my most ridiculous of hunches.

With the recent arrest of P. Diddy, @thecorygoat and I feel it’s time to share some concerning information we’ve been sitting on for the last few months.

It involves land ownership at our San Diego border, cover ups, strange coincidences, our local government, and what appears to be illegal activity through an organized network of crime—the kind you read about but don’t often get to see come alive on paper right before your eyes.

Because this story is so large, and we don’t want to lose you, we’re going to slowly release what we have found. We will show you the facts - information already in the public forum.

We are handing you the baton so this can be crowdsourced. We also appreciate you sharing it with trustworthy law enforcement.
