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….

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…

…just doing their jobs. I doubt any voted for Biden or Kamala.

They had approached the house without sirens, in silence. This might have been a bloodbath but for restraint on both sides.

This was an attempt to get me and my wife killed. It ended in smiles, handshakes…. Image
5/5

But, oh my, what might have happened.

One had tried the door to enter the home. I thank God he did not get in. I might have opened fire. You must understand it was pitch darkness.

There were 9 police vehicles at the top of my drive. No sirens, no warning.

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 was there to meet with… Image

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

…of Putin who has skillfully mixed fact with fiction to lead would-be investigators astray, and biographers whose otherwise sound judgments have been affected by the considerable gravitational force of our current political climate.

What emerges are wildly divergent… Image

But understanding Putin is not easy in a world where his critics present him as insane or a modern Stalin hellbent on resurrecting the Soviet Union (he is neither), and his supporters venerate him as a savior… 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.

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
