***USAID - CAIRO CORRUPTION***

By God’s grace, I am now out of Egypt.

Let me state at the outset of this report:

• An X🧵is insufficient to tell the full story.

• There are ongoing complications. So you must read between the lines.

Last week in a🧵that got 12 million…
2/

…views, I reported that I made a visit to USAID - Cairo.

To those unfamiliar with my work, I have been tracking globalist initiatives at both ends:

• At the idea level (e.g., the World Economic Forum in Davos).

• Then I go downstream to see how those idea play out… Image
3/

…in the lives of real people. You see, globalists have insulated themselves from the often awful consequences of their own ideas.

For the last 3 years I have attended the WEF where they have promoted open borders and then I went to cartel country & Darién in Central &…
4/

…South America where, as I reported in an interview which prompted an encouraging response from President Trump, USAID was running a massive *human trafficking* op straight to our borders and beyond them.

From there I went to Cairo. I had a variety of reasons to be in… Image
5/

…Cairo. USAID was among them.

You will see from Google Earth that USAID - Cairo is a massive military-style compound.

People often ask me how I get into things like the WEF. The answer is simple: through the front door.

I’m not doing ninja stuff in the dead of night…. Image

That gives them cause to arrest you. But if I go through your security and you let me in, that’s on you (unless you’re a Jan 6er).

Last week, security raised the barrier and let us drive in. I proceeded to walk around the entire massive complex to find the entrance….
7/

There was no USAID signage of any kind. Finding the door, I spoke briefly with the security guard and entered the building.
8/

Once inside, I asked them a simple question: Were they complying with President Trump’s (public) order to shut down?

This proved to be a dangerous question, and as I explained elsewhere, I promptly left the building, got in the car, and drove away.

On Saturday I went… Image
9/

…back. I didn’t enter the compound. I just wanted to confirm a couple of impressions.

Driving by on a public road in a different vehicle, I was nonetheless recognized by security who stopped the car and demanded my Egyptian driver get out.

A few important details: I have… Image
10/

…been on numerous military installations. I was born on one and raised in others. I have been on NATO nuclear bases.

I have also been in ~70 countries and all over the Middle East. I’m not a newbie. And while it is true that most buildings of any significance have…
11/

…security in the Middle East—especially post-9/11—this was next level.

Remember, this is USAID—United States Aid for International Development—ostensibly a US gov’t version of Samaritan’s Purse.

It’s also important you understand the hierarchy here: security at USAID… Image
12/

…are private & paid with your tax dollars. They have no actual authority outside of the compound.

This time they knew who I was and demanded my phone and my passport.

I refused to give them either but let them see/photograph, at a distance, my passport.

They told me…
13/

…to exit the vehicle.

I again refused.

By their own acknowledgement, I had broken no laws and had not breeched their security illegally on my prior visit. If they didn’t like my viral tweet about it, then they shouldn’t have let me in.

They demanded the driver bring…
Image
14/

…the vehicle inside the compound. I told him not to comply. They then told me to enter their blacked-out security office which was also within the compound.

I politely refused.

This isn’t my first rodeo. There is a pattern these things follow all over the world: the…
15/

…older, more senior the official handling the situation, the darker your prospects become.

Someone inside USAID was calling the shots, and they had summoned Egyptian police who, in turn, handed the situation over the National Security Agency.

Egypt’s equivalent of the… Image
16/

…KGB—they were developed/trained by them in their early days—they are the rebranded ISS: the infamous state security that killed and tortured their own citizens among others.

This man, to quote my translator, arrived and “made it personal.” Belligerent, it seemed to…
17/

…me that he was trying to provoke a reaction. Again, demands that I exit the vehicle, enter the compound, & hand over my passport & phone.

Again, I calmly, politely refused.

What started to become clear was that I had embarrassed them by breeching their security…
18/

…previously & this was payback. But it was also panic about what I might know.

I was, they said, a terrorist. But after a while, even they seemed to see this was ridiculous & wouldn’t stick.

So, the charge—claim, rather, since they had not formally charged me—was…
19/

…espionage. I freely admitted it: “I am spying—on my government, not yours.”

When they weren’t looking, I fired-off the very videos they wanted deleted to @LozzaFox and others in case I disappeared into a black hole. Perhaps if I let them see my photos/videos folder…
20/

…they would let me go. So I then deleted them and, in case the officer reviewing them, was savvy, I also trashed them from “Recently Deleted.”

Still no formal arrest, they tried to pressure me to sign an “incident report” but they wouldn’t let my translator translate….
21/

…it. I refused.

“Do you have an Egyptian govt permit to take photos of govt buildings?”

“No, but I wasn’t taking photos of Egyptian government buildings.” I pointed in the direction of USAID: “That’s a United States govt building, and I’m a US citizen….”
22/

I pointed at the security guard. “My tax dollars pay his salary.”

He blanched.

While I was holding my phone, he pushed it to my face to unlock it. For this very reason I have never activated Face ID or the thumbprint feature. You need a code.

I told him I would unlock…
23/

…the phone and let him scroll the photos. He called over a guy who looked like Freddie Mercury in leather jacket and sunglasses. Just as I thought he might do, he scrolled, saw nothing incriminating, and then went to “Recently Deleted.”

“Nothing.”

At that moment, the…
24/

…NSA guy got a phone call from up the food chain and we were released.

Yesterday, NSA showed up at my hotel & were (truthfully) told that I had left the country.

They proceeded to search everything, suggesting I was a spy & a dangerous man.

This raises questions about…
25/

…USAID activities. This is how an intelligence agency operates, not aid “from the American People.” The Egyptians were simply working at their direction.

Egypt is a huge recipient of USAID funds, & they’ll do anything to keep the tap open.

From Prague,

VLADIMIR PUTIN:🧵

I’m working through a number of Putin biographies in prep for an “Ideas Have Consequences” series. (You can subscribe via the link in my bio.)

The problem for anyone venturing to understand him is the deliberate deception on both sides: on the part… Image

USAID, ISRAEL, SWATTING, & WAR:🧵

Now, about that USAID rabbit hole I’ve been promising you….

Last week, my home was “swatted,” which is nothing less than attempted murder by proxy.

But why?

Let’s try to connect some dots.
2/

For several years I have been investigating our border crisis—but waaay on the other side of the border.

This took me all over South and Central America, primarily to cartel towns, Darién, and migrant camps.

Everywhere I saw USAID signage. I saw they were working in…

…collaboration with drug cartels to facilitate the largest human trafficking op in modern history right through our borders.

They did it through a series of NGOs, most prominent among them was the UN’s OIM (or sometimes IOM): Organization for International Migration…. Image

1/5

I was SWATed last night as you can see in these 3 videos.

I was in bed, but noticed Ranger, my German shepherd, was on the prowl, his ears up. I heed his instincts.

I then saw a flicker of light on my BR door. Ranger went to investigate, I got my gun…..
2/5

I saw the silhouette of a man on my deck with an AR15.

Given my recent run-in with USAID and the Egyptian secret police in Cairo, I didn’t know what to think.

I could hear whispers and saw two other men also in body armor, heavily armed….
3/5

I turned on a light and told them to identify themselves. They did as you’ll see, by I kept my weapon. It de-escalated from there.

The officers told me they’d received a call from someone claiming to be in my home and hiding while I shot people.

These were good guys…

***USAID - CAIRO 1/14***

Today I paid an unexpected visit to the USAID headquarters in Cairo.

The last few years I have shown you how USAID organized, financed, & ran the invasion across our southern border.

Today I visited their fortress-like offices in Egypt….
2/14

Approaching the gate manned by Egyptian guards, we bluffed our way in and drove through the su*cide b*m8er barriers. This was aided, no doubt, by the fact that we were in a Mercedes (the diplomatic car of choice) and I look unmistakably American.
3/14

My driver waited in the car while I walked the perimeter looking for the entrance.

There is no USAID signage of any kind on this citadel of corrupt bureaucracy….

A SPY AT THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM:🧵

The eyes of the world are rightly on Donald Trump's inauguration as President of the United States.

But let's not forget that while globalists have suffered a setback, they're meeting this week, per usual, in Davos.

I'll be there.Image
2/16

Indeed, the California fires and Trump's inauguration have made it possible for the WEF to meet under the cover of darkness.

What exactly is the WEF and why should you care?

The World Economic Forum, founded in 1971, is a kind of action committee for...Image
3/16

...a clique of godless globalists who see themselves as more enlightened than the rest of us.

As such, they feel it their right, no, their responsibility, to determine how the rest of us will live--right down to the minutest detail.

In other words, the WEF is...Image

A Christmas I’ll Never Forget:🧵

I was 21. A truck driver during the day and a student at night, I was asked to teach Sunday school at a little rural Alabama church that met only twice a month.

You see, the membership was old and few in number. Many thought the church…Image

…should be closed. But these ornery old people liked their church and didn’t care what anyone else thought they should or shouldn’t do.

One of the members had heard me speak and asked if I would be their pastor.

Pastor?

I didn’t know anything about that, but I agreed… Image

…to come every other week to teach Sunday school for a couple of months until they could find someone else. Amused by my youth and energy, they had no intentions of replacing me and two months stretched into two years.

On Christmas Eve of 1988, I did something I had… Image
