It's interesting that MAGA influencers have been violating X's TOS for a long time. Elon Musk has been letting them get away with it, probably to help Trump win the election.

Today, Elon got pissed and canceled the whole crew. Now he's royally despised by them. 1/
I've been listening to the "affiliates" of ConservativeOG who lost their blue checks. Mostly, they are just screaming at each other about whether or not Laura Loomer doxed someone. 2/ Image
Alex Jones' partner Owen Shroyer lost his blue check. White nationalist Nick Fuentes mansplained how they all got used by Elon. His voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Fuentes eventually dominates the conversation. Charles Johnson offers to pay his legal fees. 3/
But "ConservativeOG" talked about his "website" where his "affiliates" work. So, what is that? His profile lists a PAC website, not a company. 4/ conservativepac.comImage
In the fine print, it does talk about "affiliates" of this SuperPAC, but not the "company" he mentioned. 5/ Image
ConservativePac is a small PAC based in Atlanta. 6/ Image
All of its money comes from an LLC in Wyoming. 7/ Image
This looks like the founder. 8/ Image
He's also part of the company "Connect Social" and--ah--now it starts to fall into place. 9/ Image
This is a media marketing company posing as a PAC, which Elon Musk has been platforming to help Trump get elected. It's tied to Alex Jones. The content they push is paid media with paid influencers. 10/ Image
Bottom line: Elon Musk let paid Trump influencers manipulate reach on X, violating X's terms of service, until they pissed him off today.
You can figure out who is working for Greg Disser (ConservativeOG) by looking for anyone who lost their blue check today.

"I have spoken with a figure who is very close to Amanda who confirmed to me that she recently arrived back in Brazil, and is living in fear."

One thing the author didn't point out is how close she is to the Trumps, and has been for 20 years. 1/

Here they are, recently, at Mar-a-Lago. How did she go from this to "living in fear" in Brazil? 2/ Image
These are the people she flew on Epstein's plane with to Paris on June 27, 2002. The same group flew to the French Riviera (Hyères) two days later. There are at least 3 sexual predators on the plane, with Amanda at 17 years old. 3/ Image

I'm reading this and highly recommend. Christopher Steele got such a raw deal, as did all his sources. 1/ Image
People misread the Steele dossier. It's what I'd call "fluid intelligence" that was collected from dozens of sources, all of whom were saying the same thing.

It was collected and reported in the moment, with urgency. The FBI ignored it for months, which helped Trump win. 2/
They should have announced an investigation into Trump's Russian connections before the election, or at least kept quiet about Hillary's emails if they were worried about the Hatch Act. 3/

Tulsi Gabbard's allegiance is to her guru, Chris.

Chris's cult is financially connected to a Hong Kong-based company (Qi) that has been charged with fraud.

But his ties to China go back to the 1980s. 1/ Image
Chris Butler was kicked out of high school in Hawaii, but claimed he reached enlightenment by age 20. He also had a (pretty bad) rock band.

Eventually, he joined the Hari Krishnas but got kicked out of there, too. 2/ Image
At the same time, across the world in China, a 16-year-old girl claims she heard his rock music (um.... unlikely) and went to meet him in Hong Kong, and then Manila. Not much is known about her.

But this woman, Zhang Huilan (aka Wana Lai), later became his wife and still is. 3/

I'm reading Gabbard's full 114-page document release. Most of it has to do with U.S. election infrastructure. It also covers the U.S. response to Russian election interference. 👇 1/ Image
Her document release contradicts the claims she's making on TV. It's all about how Russia interfered in the 2016 election to help Trump....

She also released the "highly classified" version of this report. 👇

Why? 2/ Image
The "highly classified" version is even stronger in its assessment that Putin wanted Trump as president and that Putin historically favors the GOP. 3/ 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
