What? Elon Musk is paying people to sign up for his Trump PAC. I thought vote buying was illegal. Image
Here's the law. πŸ‘‡ Image
This could be considered payment for registering to vote. I signed up as Karen LooneyTunes to see what would happen, and the next page makes it look like you have to register to vote to get the $47. Image
Providing any incentives (even cookies!) for registering to vote is illegal. Image

Tomorrow, Trump is meeting with DRC and Rwandan representatives to sign a "peace plan."

This makes me think of the Minnesota assassin Vance Boelter, who killed two Democratic politicians and has connections with people in the DRC government. 1/
Boelter claimed he was working with "fisherman" on the "Rwandan coast" of the DRC, which must mean along Lake Kivu. 2/ Image
What's interesting is that this is in M23-held rebel territory and a war zone. 3/ Image

Vance Boelter said he decided to go to the Congo after meeting the DRC Ambassador to the United States, Francois Balumuene.

I discovered that they indeed met at this event in Worthington, Minnesota, in December 2018. The Ambassador is on the far right. In the middle is Boelter's friend and "business partner." 1/Image
Boelter's friend Mcnay Nkashama takes people on mission trips to the Congo through his "Global Impact Center." Boelter would later travel with them when he went to preach in the DRC. 2/ Image
In 2018, at the meeting with Balumuene, Vance Boetler discussed possible business opportunities in the Congo, and the ambassador encouraged people to go there. He said he liked Vance's idea. 3/ Image

Not a word from @FBIDirectorKash about the Nazi group here in Washington state who attacked a military base to steal weapons, hitting a soldier in the head with a hammer.

They've been selling military weapons online for years and have a thousand followers on Instagram. 1/ Image
Their business logo is a Nazi symbol. 2/ Image
And they sell gear celebrating war criminals. They are veterans of the elite 75th Ranger Regiment. 3/ Image

This is some of the best intelligence work and reporting I've read in a long time. Elon, of course, doesn't want you to read it, so I'm including a gift link further down so he won't censor it.

These are all Russian spies posing as Brazilians. πŸ‘‡ Image
They were discovered by U.S. counterintelligence in 2022, back when it wasn't run by Trump's people, who promote Russia.

One of these spies was set to be hired at the ICC, where he could prevent Putin from being accused of war crimes. 2/
They were tracked by the same organization in Brazil that investigated Bolsonaro's coup attempt.

The spies were able to acquire legitimate Brazilian birth certificates due to a loophole in the system.

Then they traveled. 3/

"I’ve been next to suicide attacks. I’ve been the target of an Al-Qaeda plot to kidnap me. And throughout all of this, I felt that my sacrifices meant something. What I found in the last two weeks is, not only do those sacrifices not matter, but that we’re vilified without any evidence or reason for that." 2/
"The pause on foreign assistance... From a humanitarian and development and stabilization perspective, we know what that means. It means people are dying." 3/
