***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

6/

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,

HAMAS: COMING TO AMERICA🧵

As promised, my report from Israel.

First, a few background notes.

If you’re looking for a thread that runs through all of the countries/places I’m visiting on my latest expedition—World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland; Auschwitz - Birkenau &…

…Nowa Huta near Krakow, Poland; Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, & Gaza; and 3 more countries to go—it is this:

I intend to demonstrate how the crackpot ideas that are historically formed in places like Davos become policy and are sent downstream and demolish the lives of millions….

…Those who formulate these ideas are invariably leftists who are, in the words of Russian historian Sheila Fitzpatrick, “enthusiasts, zealots, and utopians mesmerized by big, distant goals…. They have the intoxicating illusion they personify the will of the people….” Image

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM UPDATE (FINAL REPORT): 🧵

Now that I’ve had time to process this year’s annual WEF Nuremberg-like rally in Davos, Switzerland, I’m ready to give you the main takeaways.

A. It starts with President Trump.

Every single report following the president’s… Image
2.

…address was either outright lies or missed the point. Trump’s thesis wasn’t Greenland or NATO or Ukraine or borders or windmills or the economy.

These were all spokes off of a central hub: “American citizens.” This is what made his remarks so remarkable, especially…
3.

…in a place like Davos.

The World Economic Forum has been a fundamentally anti-human organization since its founding. Their mission statement is nothing if not ambiguous: “Improving the state of the world.”

Much like a classic episode of The Twilight Zone where aliens…

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM UPDATE 2:

Good morning from Switzerland!

People frequently ask if it’s dangerous for someone like me to attend the WEF.

No.

Then again, after last year’s WEF, I went to Cairo to see what I could dig-up on USAID, went home, and was SWATTED.

So, maybe…
2/

…it is. But it is much more likely that incident — the FBI still hasn’t arrested anyone — was related to my exposure of USAID’s nefarious activities in South America (human trafficking) and Egypt (funding terrorism).

Moving on…

Today’s WEF question: Who is Klaus Schwab?
3/

Schwab is the founder of the WEF, and, until recently, was its sole chairman since 1971.

Last year a coup forced the octogenarian Schwab out and he was replaced by Blackrock CEO Larry Fink & Roche Holding AG (think pharmaceuticals) CEO André Hoffman.

So, is Schwab even…

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM UPDATE 1: WHAT IS THE WEF?🧵

Good morning!

I write to you from beautiful (and expensive) Switzerland. I’ll be updating you from here for the next ten days.

To loosely quote Alice in Wonderland, I’ll start at the beginning and keep going until I reach… Image
2/

…the end.

What is the World Economic Forum?

Founded in 1971 by German engineer Klaus Schwab, the organization’s mission statement is not only a clue to its gargantuan ambition, but to the gargantuan self-importance of its members: “Improving the state of the world.”… Image
3/

To some extent, we are all products of our time, and Schwab was born in Nazi Germany in 1938, a period where the world was not only on the verge of a world war, but one in which the West had been possessed by the idea of perpetual progress since the first rumblings of the… Image

ISLAM, GUNS, & MASS KILLINGS:🧵

1/16

I visited the sites of some of the most notorious mass killings in modern history:

• Nice Attack: (France): 86
• Charlie Hebdo (Paris): 12
• The Bataclan (Paris): 90
• Hypercacher Kosher Market (Paris): 17
• 7/7 Bombings (UK): 52
2/16

• Madrid Train Station: 193
• Stockholm Truck Attack: 5
• Boko Haram Attacks (Nigeria): ?
• London Bridge: 8

In each place, I interviewed witnesses when possible. These themes emerged:

1. The attackers were well armed in spite of…
3/16

…extremely strict gun laws. (Nigeria’s gov’t actually disarmed those who were attacked, calling it “a human rights violation.”)

2. The attacked were completely defenseless. As law-abiding citizens, they were easy prey.

3. Police…

CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IN NIGERIA EXPLAINED:🧵

When I was in Cairo earlier this year and all hell broke loose with Egyptian State Security outside of USAID, here’s the secret part I could say little about at that time:

I wasn’t in Egypt for USAID.

I was there to meet with… Image

…Nigerian Christians who have suffered at the hands of Boko Haram and the Fulani Herdsmen Militia, both Islamic terrorist groups.

You see, I was in Nigeria some years ago to report on the terror for Fox News. The plan was simple: I would fly into Abuja without… Image

…bodyguards — I have a philosophy about the ineffectiveness of bodyguards in these situations — where I would be swiftly picked up, hidden in an automobile, and driven 6 hours to the north on roads where terrorist attacks are common. The idea, like visiting a cartel… Image
