πΊπΈπ° Ever wonder why European cities accepted so many refugees?
Today, I'm over my jet lag and processing the documents I scanned this week. Already it's pretty shocking.
The refugee influx into Europe began as a U.S. taxpayer-funded subsidy. The U.S. government literally paid European cities to take them in, using Soros-backed operations like ARC (American Refugee Committee) as the middlemen.
Yes, ARC, co-founded with money from the Soros Humanitarian Fund, was running programs directly for the U.S. government.
It goes even deeper and darker than that. Stay tuned.
ARC handled all the logistical needs for IOM including deciding refugee placements and schedules, at least at one point.
Even today, there are plenty of financial incentives for European cities to take refugees. The following is a UN-backed initiative (translation: US-backed):
Good question - and I should have made it clearer. The point is that this is *where the infrastructure* for mass migration started. IOM would go onto chartering boats and such, alongside other NGOs.
It should go without saying, but it's impossible to create global operations overnight. If I handed you a billion dollars and said, "go move as many South Americans to the USA as possible," you probably wouldn't know what to do with it. Many years of collaboration, expertise, ongoing money, and setup are required.
US contributed a million towards the chartered flights of 12,000 migrants from Lebanon in 2006.
Exactly. They spent decades setting this infrastructure up, from the Bosnia conflict. But evidently not the "reverse" infrastructure. IOM's budget grew 10 times from ~280 million in 2000 to 3.4 billion in 2023, 40% of it financed by the USA.
π§΅DC JURY POOL THREAD: DC students can't read. But they can convict.
DC spends more per student than anywhere in America, $31,629/year.
Most kids can't read at grade level.
But DCPS found the time to make progressive activist training mandatory for every student, grades 6-12.
Those students become DC jurors. Full receipts below.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. π
DC is where federal cases against political figures are tried. All 1,400+ January 6 prosecutions. Stone. Bannon. Navarro. Trump's own federal indictment.
The jury pool draws ONLY from DC residents.
DC voted 92.1% for Biden in 2020. 5.4% for Trump.
The DC Circuit ruled in 2024 (US v. Webster) that this political composition does not make DC juries unfair.
That case effectively foreclosed ALL venue challenges for Jan 6 and politically sensitive federal cases.
π§΅ THREAD: How mass immigration came to Japan's shores
π saw a lovely cultural exchange between Americans and Japanese this past week, which got me wondering how and why Muslims came to Japan... so I spent the weekend looking into it.
Japan went from officially having "no immigration policy" to a formal system with a cap of 820,000 foreign workers. Japan's Muslim population has gone from ~110,000 (2010) to ~420,000 (end of 2024). There are now 149 mosques.
The bill that created this was passed at 4:00 AM in December 2018. The opposition called it a "carte blanche." Deliberations were compressed. It passed anyway.
What I found:
πΉ Three consecutive foreign ministers trained at American universities.
πΉ A foundation run by a Trilateral Commission member and a former US intelligence chief.
πΉ A $69 million fellowship network seeding 69 universities in 44 countries.
πΉ A UN framework signed the same month as the 4 AM vote.
πΉ Sixteen bilateral labor agreements managed through a single coordinating body.
πΉ A Japan-specific immigration program drafted by a Japanese national while he was interning inside the US Senate.
In July 2025, a party that didn't exist before COVID won 14 seats and finished third in the popular vote. By February 2026, the LDP won its biggest parliamentary majority since 1955, running on tighter immigration.
Unfortunately, Americans and Japanese have more in common beyond love of BBQ. They have the mass migration problem in common. Receipts below. π
As always, patience as I pull together the thread.
Japan's Muslim population:
2010: ~110,000
2024: ~420,000
Nearly 4x in 14 years.
Mosques: 4 in 1980. 149 as of 2024.
This is not organic. Someone built a pipeline.
The Specified Skilled Worker program. SSW.
Original cap (2019): 345,000 workers.
New cap (March 2024): 820,000 workers.
The law that created SSW passed at **4:00 AM** on December 8, 2018.
The opposition called it a "carte blanche." Deliberations were rushed.
π§΅THREAD, NO KINGS IN THE SENATE?: The Helsinki Commission, the almighty foreign democracy operations arm of Congress
The No Kings crowd marched today against the one branch of government where you can actually see who's in charge. They should try the Senate.
At 3 AM on Friday, Thune passed a funding bill by voice vote. Funded everything except immigration enforcement. Just completely gave into the Democratic demands.
Inside that Senate sits a body called the Helsinki Commission. No FOIA. No Inspector General. No records retention policy. It operates in permanent darkness, and what's hiding in there makes the 3 AM vote look transparent.
Look at the two images below.
Left: the booking photo.
Right: the knife Capitol Police seized.
A Helsinki Commission staffer drew this on a Capitol Police officer. March 8, 2019. He was arrested and booked. He was never fired. He was also photographed in Ukrainian military camo at a command post near Bakhmut. Investigators documented $87,400 in cash.
Both parties buried it. The Ryan Routh assassination attempt connection sits in plain sight. The same NGO network running today's color revolution marches connects to the same Helsinki Commission infrastructure.
Receipts below.
As always, patience as I pull together the post. π
@shellenberger This photo shows Parker at a Ukrainian military command post near Bakhmut, wearing Ukrainian camo, studying operational maps. According to the investigation, he made 7+ trips to the war zone. I could find no evidence these trips were formally authorized by Congress.
π§΅π¨ MAJOR BREAKING: A $15+ MILLION DOE contractor and NoKings protest organizer with active nuclear security contracts is on camera recommending a color revolution "how-to" π¨π¨
His name is Steven A. Cash. Former CIA officer (Balkans, Clinton era). Under Biden: Senior Advisor to the Undersecretary at DHS Intelligence & Analysis.
The day after Trump's 2016 election, Cash co-founded "The Steady State" β a network of more than 340 former intelligence community officials who decided Trump was an "existential threat".
When Biden won, the threat was gone. Cash went into Biden's DHS. His own words: "we disappeared."
Then Trump won again. "Suddenly the existential threat was back." The Steady State reactivated and is now a planning partner with NoKings. In the clip below, their meeting recommends "Bringing Down a Dictator" β the Otpor documentary about toppling MiloΕ‘eviΔ β as "a how-to."
Meanwhile, Cash's company Deck Prism LLC holds $15+ million in Department of Energy contracts. Almost every one: sole-source or non-competed. One is for the National Nuclear Security Administration β our nuclear weapons program β justified because "disclosure would compromise national security."
His FEC records: 20+ donations over 20 years. 100% Democratic. Zero Republican. Including $1,001 to Kamala Harris on August 4, 2024, while his NNSA nuclear contract was active.
I have the USAspending receipts, the FEC filings, and him on camera twice.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. π
Before proceeding with this thread, please follow @listen_2learn , who tried to expose Cash earlier. Thanks to my new co-visiting fellow with @ItsYourGov , @JeffClarkUS , for help in researching.
π§΅π¨ MAJOR BREAKING: THE 4-DAY MIRACLE, or How MWEG and a 500-Org Coalition Weaponized Charlie Kirk's Assassination π¨
1,400 people. 20+ organizations. 3 professionally moderated panels. 4 days after an assassination. Does this sound organic to you?
September 14, 2025 (a Sunday, no less) the "Dignity Over Violence" zoom goes live. The coalition's central resource was a website called turntoward[.]us registered by Mormon Women for Ethical Government (MWEG) ONE DAY after Charlie Kirk was shot dead at UVU. Registrant email: internal.support@mweg.org
"Turn Toward." Now say "Turning Point." Did they name the campaign after the dead man's organization to advance their own political agenda?
I'm going to reverse-engineer how you mobilize 20 NGOs in 4 days... because you CAN'T. Not unless the infrastructure was already built.
I dare you, @mormonweg , to explain how these receipts are "absolutely false."
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. π
STEP 1: You need a pre-existing ACTIVATION LIST. A searchable database of organizations ready to mobilize on command.
The #ListenFirst Coalition has existed since 2017. 500+ organizations. Backbone staff. Working groups. A "Marketing Intelligence Hub." A "Storytelling & Media Relations Hub." Congressional testimony pipeline. Coordinated media with WSJ, WaPo, PBS.
This is the same Listen First project that was described here:
Mormon Women for Ethical Government (@mormonweg) is quite upset that I dedicated a presentation to them to a Utahn Republican Women's group. They called it "absolutely false."
I don't know what they are alleging is false, like Bill Kristol is among their biggest donors (as @labtechleigh found), or that their co-executive director Jen Thomas represents MWEG in a meeting series as part of a fractal ecosystem to transform America's governance.
But in the spirit of last year's thread on @CODEPINK , I will do a 100% factual, zero opinion, receipt-based thread on MWEG to clear the air. As MWEG said - "be kind, but be direct."
ππππ
@mormonweg FACT: MWEG reported a jump from 437K to 1.3M in one year from grants.
@mormonweg FACT: Bill Kristol's Group, Defending Democracy Together Institute, is a large donor at 150K for at least 2 years going. What relationship does Kristol have to LDS women?
