I went through and screenshot all the messages GHF is using to smear Anthony Aguilar.

🧵

1. GHF started operating in Gaza on May 28, 2025. All the messages of praise for GHF are from the first couple days.

That red box quote is literally from Day 1.

Pretty sure Aguilar was some kind of team leader and all of these messages seem worded to keep morale boosted.

According to GHF Aguilar was fired on June 13th. His messages on the 14th show there were clearly problems on the ground that he took issue with but he thought he could help.

Interesting that GHF chose not to show the whole message on this pic. Before the message cuts off Aguilar says “….the issues we have require leadership to fix. That’s what’s missing. This isn’t an operator job.”

Just found out that the head of in-house litigation for the McDonald v. FEC case, Alan Gura, is literally an Israeli born dual-citizen.

Because OFC he is!!!

For those who don’t know, this case has NOTHING to do with privacy and EVERYTHING to do with stopping us from being able to monitor smurfing donations to political campaigns.

If you don’t know what smurfing is, it’s a money laundering scheme where unknown persons make hundreds, sometimes thousands, of small-dollar donations (less than $200) to political campaigns in the names of real Americans without their knowledge.

The people most often busted for running these scams are foreign nationals who are barred from donating directly to political campaigns or rich Americans who either can’t donate more money because they have reached their legal limit or who want to donate to a certain candidate without other people knowing.

The scam itself isn’t particularly new or innovative. Rich people have been giving money to their secretaries and gardeners to make political contributions for them for decades.

But the way it’s being done now, using AI powered bot programs to run millions of tiny transactions under the radar, through ActBlue and WinRed, that’s only been going on at an industrial scale, since 2017 for ActBlue and 2019 for WinRed.

I’ve written about a dozen threads on it, I’ll link them in the comments.

But it’s fascinating to me to know now that it’s literally an Israeli citizen who heads the team of litigators trying to shutdown the public’s ability to track this stuff. They don’t want WinRed and ActBlue to have to disclose the names of any donors who donate less than $200 to a political campaign. If they can block that, they’ll be able to shutdown all public inquiry into the scam.

And now you know why Republicans have been dragging their feet on their ActBlue “investigations.”

⚡️Campaign Finance: Mike Waltz 🧵

After Saturday’s story from the WP that claimed Mike Waltz was fired from his role as National Security Advisor for engaging in “intense coordination” with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu behind Trump’s back, I decided to take a glance at Waltz’s campaign finance filings to see if they could shed any light on who pulls his strings.

I don’t know what I was expecting to find but I definitely wasn’t expecting what I found.

Specifically, I was surprised to learn that days before resigning from the House, Mike Waltz used his principal campaign fund to pay exorbitant “consulting” fees to companies owned by two of his congressional staffers, Micah Ketchel and James Hewitt, and one member of the Trump transition team, Brian Hughes, all of whom were then hired to work directly for him at the National Security Council.

And then days after resigning from the House, Waltz continued to use his Mike Waltz for Congress account to pay for over $45,000 worth of travel, office, catering and event expenses in and around DC during the inauguration. Despite the fact that he’s not running any kind of campaign.

(Article version at bottom of thread)

Mike Waltz closed out the 2024 election cycle with a little more than $1.5 million in the bank in his principal campaign fund.

Leftover funds are typically just rolled into the next cycle but since Waltz was going to be leaving Congress to become the NSA I was expecting to see his principal campaign converted or dissolved… similar to what I’ve seen from others.

⚡️Campaign Finance 🧵: Foreign Lobbying

You ever want to make a comment or write a post about something but you already know exactly what all the haters or going to say so you just leave it alone bc you don’t have the time or energy to deal w their sh*t?

That’s how I feel every time I want to talk about the Zionist lobby.

So I decided to write this thread to head off what I know is coming when I start dropping my other threads this week.

It’s not short or sweet but it is informative and it’ll probably help answer some questions you may have if you care about foreign influence over our political systems.

(article version linked at bottom)

_______________

If death and taxes are the only two things certain in life, then at the top of the list of *almost* certain is the guarantee that if Israeli influence on Congress is being discussed at least one boob is going to chime in w “how come you never talk abt all these OtHeR countries?!”

Such arguments are almost always accompanied by a screenshot or copy+paste of the latest Open Secrets Foreign Lobbying numbers.

JFK Files 🧵

As of July 2023, the date of Joe Biden’s last “certification of files” in the JFK record, there were still 4,684 documents being withheld, in part or in whole, from the public. A short thread on the most import documents still under seal:

1. Partial redactions on page 8 and 10 and the full redaction of page 9 from the June 1961 memo written by White House adviser Arthur Schlesinger to Kennedy on how the president could best accomplish his goal of “splintering the Agency [the CIA] into a thousand pieces and scattering it to the winds.”

2. The roster of the CIA’s assassination team that targeted Fidel Castro

⚡️Matt Gaetz 🧵: What Actually Happened

Alright frens, now that Matt Gaetz is out of the running you’re going to hear a lot of takes on what happened and plenty of “keep your d*ck in your pants” lines too.

And while that’s always good advice, the story I’m about to share goes way beyond anything you could possibly imagine. So if you’re interested in the whole story, consolidated in one place, of what really happened with and to Gaetz, take a seat and let me tell you a story

Part I: The Tax Collector

This story begins in Fall 2019 in Florida, with this man: Joel Greenberg.

At the time Joel Greenberg was 2.5 years into his first term as the Tax Collector for Seminole County.

Greenberg is your classic rich kid who dinks through life lighting fires everyone else is forced to put out. Never landing hard bc daddy’s money always catches his fall. You know the type. We all do. And Joel approached his role as tax collector no different than any other.
