Remember the time Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly paid “conservative” political operatives Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman $25,000 to smear alleged victims of Jeffrey Epstein and to get the U.S. Attorney prosecuting Ghislaine removed from the case?

You don’t?

Well, read on.👇🏼🧵 Image
Image
Image
In 2020, Maryland paralegal and model Kristin Spealman told Daily Mail the two men had been hired “to dig up dirt on Maxwell’s alleged sex trafficking victims” and to get U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman fired “using Burkman’s supposed influence with Attorney General William Barr.” Image
Image
Berman refused to resign, and the standoff led President Trump to formally fire and replace him. The House Judiciary Committee interviewed Berman. “The Attorney General said that if I did not resign from my position I would be fired,” he told them. abcnews.go.com/Politics/fired…Image
Image
A lobbying registration form filed with the U.S. Senate by Burkman shows he and Wohl were hired by “Granite Realty LLC,” a common misspelling of Granite Reality. Property records show the New Hampshire house where Ghislaine was arrested was purchased by the LLC for $1.07mm. Image
Image
Image
The lobbyists told Spealman their smear targets included Epstein accusers Virginia Giuffre, Courtney Wild and Sarah Ransome. “I believed those girls, I felt like they were telling the truth. I was disgusted with the things [Wohl and Burkman] were telling me [to say].” Image
Image
Image
Spealman claimed Wohl and Burkman also asked her to make a public statement claiming to have had an affair with Senator Ted Cruz. She provided the script to the Daily Mail. The pair of lobbyists have also tried to smear Nancy Pelosi, Robert Mueller and others. Image

Daily Mail (2020): Ghislaine Maxwell paid $25K to fake news purveyor Jacob Wohl to “smear Epstein victims and to get prosecutor Geoffrey Berman fired in attempt to stall sex trafficking investigation against her”

Investigative journalist Nick Monroe (@lobsterlooker) uncovered evidence of Jacob Wohl’s membership in the Tate brothers’ War Room, a private chat where Wohl boasted of his political manipulation campaigns. Monroe also connects Wohl to “conservative” activist Laura Loomer. Image

Image
Image
@lobsterlooker Jacob Wohl has also been linked with “conservative” operatives Ali Alexander, Mike Cernovich and Scott Presler…. 🤔
@lobsterlooker Nick Monroe has known Cernovich since 2014.

Monroe exposed the War Room chats that revealed the membership of Wohl, Cernovich Ali Alexander and others. Image

@lobsterlooker Grenell? Image
@lobsterlooker Rolling Stone called Ali Alexander, leader of Stop the Steal, “the far-right political agitator infamous for organizing the Jan. 6 protests that morphed into a bloody insurgency.”

Ali’s phone records were requested by the House Select J6 Committee.
rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
@lobsterlooker Why didn’t the J6 committee investigate or at least identify the Eugene Yu who texted with Ali Alexander on the morning of J6?

Eugene Yu is the name of the CEO of Konnech, the election software company. Image
“It was also weird how the City of LA immediately settled with Eugene Yu and gave him 5 million with a hush clause, and then it was over. I've never seen a City settle a case like this that quickly. All very weird.” 🤔
Big thanks to eagle-eyed @CrayonMurders for spotting Joseph McBride, an attorney who represents Andrew and Tristan Tate in the defamation action in Florida against Jane Doe, a victim-witness in the Tate brothers’ prosecution in Romania for alleged sex trafficking. 👀 Image
Former McBride Law Firm associate Paul Ingrassia revealed in his Substack that the firm organized a “congressional outreach campaign” on behalf of the Tate brothers. Ingrassia also organized the Tate bros’ interviews with Tucker Carlson in Romania in 2023. “To clear their names.” Image
Image
Thread on Paul Ingrassia, President Trump’s White House liaison to DHS and nominee for the position of U.S. Special Counsel.

Would be tough to find a more ridiculous choice to head the Office of Special Counsel.
It’s starting to look like it 😂👍🏼❤️🐈‍⬛🧵👻
For an attorney to lie to the media and public about the facts underlying his clients’ case is a serious breach of professional ethics. Did Ingrassia lie to Carlson and others about the case against the Tate brothers?
Speaking of Ingrassia and Grenell, in February I wrote about three White House officials who had advocated for the Tate brothers. The third was Alina Habba, who is currently serving as (disputed) acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey. Image

JULIE COOPER: [Gershom] Scholem presented Zionism – which he understood a mundane, this-worldly movement – as a necessary corrective to messianic passivity. Yet he also worried that apocalyptic currents within Zionism would eventually triumph pragmatic political considerations.

The Gaza war gives Scholem's warning about messianic deferral an ironic new resonance. Today, it is Netanyahu – the hard-headed Revisionist and supposed paragon of realpolitik – who has condemned Jews to "a life lived in deferment." On the one hand, Netanyahu is the antithesis of the passivity of which Scholem unfairly accused diaspora Jews. Netanyahu wields immense, indiscriminate and devastating military power with brazen disregard for civilian immunity, human rights and the laws of war.

Yet Netanyahu is also a master of the art of deferral. Pundits have long noted Netanyahu's compulsive tendency to put off or avoid difficult decisions. Netanyahu has always favored stasis over change, conflict management over conflict resolution. From today's vantage point, Netanyahu's ideology of the status quo may turn out to be his most consequential deformation of Israeli political discourse.Image

“From the moment he arrived in Israel in 1971, Meir Kahane preached a shocking mixture of violent, exterminationist ethnonationalism and apocalyptic religious fundamentalism. He claimed that violence was a Jewish value and revenge a divine commandment. He agitated for the expulsion of Palestinians from all the territories under Israel’s control; the party he founded, Kach, was Israel’s first to make the idea its central policy demand…..”

But after his assassination in 1990, “Kahanism did not die. It survived—not in its fully fledged theocratic form, but as an ultranationalist vision of a land and body politic purged of a non-Jewish presence. The germ of Kahanism persisted because the conditions that produced it did not go away. To the contrary, they grew more dire. Israel’s occupation of the West Bank and Gaza became ever more entrenched, its maintenance more brutal and deadly.… In the 21st century, as the uneven gains of capitalist globalisation and the country’s hi-tech boom deepened inequality, Kahanism reemerged to provide the grammar for a reinvigorated rightwing class war. In the wake of the suicide bombings of the second intifada, Kahanism was also buoyed up by an increasingly widespread radical pessimism: that Israel is doomed to war, that this war is zero sum, and that it can end only through a total, eschatological victory – that ultimately, as Kahane was fond of saying: ‘It is either they or we.’” #MeirKahaneImage
Rabbi Meir Kanane said his Yeshiva:

had come to meet the tragedy that has befallen Jews and Judaism over two thousand years of exile. Because we were exiled from our own country, Judaism became changed. Perverted. It became a religion.

And it is not a religion. We are a holy nation.

The Jewish people is one that stands on two legs: nationalism and religion. Together they combine [into] a Jewish nation. A holy people.

we are a poeple that keeps the commandments. We have lost that concept.

Today you have Jews that are nationalist Jews and don’t observe the commandments. They are cripples on one foot.

Then you have Jews that keep the commandments and aren’t Zionists and don’t know what Israel is, they are cripples on the other foot.

God made Jews with two feet. They must understand that there is Judaism and the nation, and they combine to be a holy nation.

Yeshiva of the Jewish Idea, Jerusalem.

🔥BIDEN OFFICIAL FUNDED HAMAS WITH U.S. TAX DOLLARS

Julieta Valls Noyes served as head of the State Department Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) and simultaneously chaired the Advisory Commission (AdCom) for UNRWA, the UN Refugee Works Agency for Palestine Refugees.

In recent years the U.S. has been the largest single donor to UNRWA, with funding flowing directly from PRM. The Framework of Cooperation (functionally a Memorandum of Understanding) specifies terms and conditions, including ensuring funds are not used to support terrorism, consistent with Section 301(c) of the Foreign Assistance Act.

Noyes was welcomed to her first AdCom meeting on November 14, 2022 and served as chair until October 4, 2024. She signed, together with UN Commissioner General Philippe Lazzarini, the Framework of Cooperation between UNRWA and the U.S. on May 30, 2023.

In August 2023, the Nahum Bedein Center for Near East Policy Research released an eight-minute film titled “Askar-UNRWA: Cradle of Killers” documenting how UNRWA-operated schools were indoctrinating children and young people to hate Jews and to wage Jihad against Israel. David Bedein has worked to expose radicalization in Palestine for more than 20 years.

Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups launched a rocket attack and incursion on Israel on October 7, 2023, initiating the ongoing Gaza war.

On January 29, 2024, the Wall Street Journal reported on an Israeli intelligence dossier that estimated about ten percent of UNRWA’s 12,000 staff in Gaza were affiliated or have membership in Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and nearly half of UNRWA employees had a close relative with “official ties to the militant groups, especially Hamas.”

In a follow-on report in February 2024, WSJ reported that weapons caches had been found in UNRWA schools “for years,” that Hamas had built a network of tunnels linking UNRWA facilities, and that UNRWA-provided fuel and aid was going to Hamas.

In an April 15, 2024 report for the Center for Immigration Studies, Nayla Rush asked: “What is the exact role and engagement of Noyes, a high-ranking U.S. State Department official, within UNRWA? […] Moreover, if the chair was here to assist UNRWA implement its work, does this mean the U.S. government is partly to blame for UNRWA’s failures and biases?”

In August 2024 the UN Office of Oversight Services determined that at least nine UNRWA staff members “may have been involved in the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led attacks against Israel.” UNRWA reportedly terminated the staff members’ contracts.

In October 2024 The Jerusalem Post reported Hamas members take UNRWA vehicles to move around the Gaza strip, “as a form of defense, so they can move around easily…. [W]hen they get into a UNRWA vehicle and drive in it, and get things with it, the supplies, of course, then they are protected … because it’s an agency vehicle.”

Middle East Monitor reported on November 20, 2024 how three attempts to dismantle UNRWA — efforts led by the U.S., Canada, Italy, Sweden and Denmark — had been successfully thwarted by the UNRWA Advisory Commission. Beirut-based Association 302 to Defend Refugees’ Rights “emphasized that the failure of the proposals aimed at dissolving UNRWA can be attributed to the unity of the countries hosting Palestinian refugees: Lebanon, Jordan, Syria and Palestine.”

In January 2025 Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, demanded that UNRWA cease operations in Jerusalem and close its office due to “widespread infiltration of UNRWA’s ranks by Hamas and other terrorist organizations.”

In March 2025, the Trump administration said UNRWA funding would be cut for one year.

Will Trump’s DOJ investigate Julieta Valls Noyes and other U.S. State Department officials for radicalizing and funding terrorists?

Was the State Department’s role in funding UNRWA a chronic, tragic failure of oversight? Or was it something more sinister?

U.S. taxpayers and the Israeli people deserve the truth. 🕊️Image

🧵/1 How did the 🌐 UNITED NATIONS organize the INVASION OF THE UNITED STATES?

According to the Center for Immigration Studies, in recent years the U.S. has “devoted significant taxpayer funds to facilitating illegal immigration” through a network of NGOs coordinated by the UN. Image

🧵/2 At the June 4, 2025 DOGE Subcommittee hearing, “Public Funds, Private Agendas: NGOs Gone Wild,” Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies Mark Krikorian testified about a vast UN-NGO network formed in 2019 to establish way stations for illegal migration.
🧵/3 “What the Center has examined is what happened before the migrants got to the Rio Grande. In other words, how NGOs and UN agencies were paid by U.S. taxpayers to facilitate the illegal movement of migrants through South and Central America and Mexico.”

🔥“THE MAIN LINK IS IN CARACAS”: Tren de Aragua is an aspect of 🇻🇪 Venezuela’s unrestricted warfare against the U.S., expert says

Jose Gustavo @ArochaJG, a former Lieutenant Colonel in the Venezuelan military and national security expert at @SecureFreeSoc, responded for Fox News Digital on the recently released intelligence assessment on Tren de Aragua (TDA). Arocha says the memo, prepared by the National Intelligence Council on April 7, failed to comprehend the Maduro regime’s relationship with Tren de Aragua.

“I feel that the missing point, here, is that the intelligence report is just a narrow lens about TDA. It’s about crime and immigration, but they’re missing the warfare dimension,” Arocha said.

“They’re missing that, for the Maduro regime, the United States is the enemy — has been the enemy for years, since Hugo Chavez came to power.”

Arocha points out that the Tocorón prison, from which TDA’s leader Hector “El Niño” Guerrero Flores and others reportedly escaped during a military operation to retain control of the prison from the inmates, is not a real prison but a “palace” serving as “the epicenter of crime in Venezuela.” When Tocorón was raided in September 2023, news reports revealed Tocorón’s swimming pool, nightclub, and even a zoo — as well as tunnels allowing inmates to pass in and out of the compound.

Arocha believes the raid was staged to convince the public that Maduro’s government was attempting to regain control of the prison.

“On the contrary, the TDA has safe haven in Venezuela,” he said.

“The TDA is not a gang. It’s a [military] arm of the Venezuelan regime in the hybrid warfare strategy. That’s the missing point. And that is the point that explains how a local gang [is] now in more than 10 countries, including the United States. That’s incredible. That is not possible without a state sponsor behind them.”

Arocha says the Venezuelan regime acts as a proxy of Russia, China and Iran — “especially China right now” — to create chaos in Latin America. He said the regime exploits Russian and Chinese expertise in propaganda, spinning a narrative that “the United States is against Latin America, is racist.”

According to Arocha, the U.S. intelligence community is failing to see the full picture.

“Unrestricted warfare,” Arocha said, “means using criminals, using disinformation, using every single tool they have” short of a direct military confrontation with the United States.

“We not only have to chase criminals, but start targeting command structures, which means nodes. That is very important right now,” Arocha said.

Arocha praised U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi for pursuing a suspected high-ranking TDA leader in custody in Colombia. The Justice Department intends to prosecute Jose “Chuqui” Enrique Martinez Flores, 24, in Texas for drug offenses and for providing material support to a terrorist organization. The State Department designated TDA a foreign terrorist organization on Feb. 20.

Arocha also encourages U.S. agencies to collaborate with law enforcement in Chile, Argentina, Peru and other countries with experience of TDA, to understand what they have learned.

“We have to continue targeting command structures to totally dismantle TDA,” Arocha said. “And not only see them as criminals. Of course, we have to chase criminals outside from the street. But we also have to look for the command structures.

“And we have to put all the pieces together to have the big picture instead of the local one. And then I’m very sure that we are going to realize the missing and the main link is in Caracas.”
BBC reported Tocorón prison, when Maduro ordered it raided in 2023, was more like a well-fortified gated community than a prison compound.

🔥🧵/1 TREN DE ARAGUA’S TIES TO THE MADURO REGIME

An FBI Intelligence Assessment titled “Venezuelan Government Officials Use Tren de Aragua to Undermine Public Safety” has been unsealed.

The New York Times reports this memo pits the FBI “against other intelligence agencies in a heated dispute” over evidence connecting TdA to Venezuela’s government.

The 13-page FBI memo, dated January 23, was submitted by the Trump administration to a federal court in Texas considering a challenge to the administration’s use of the Alien Enemies Act.Image
Image
🧵/2 President Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans swiftly as “alien enemies” hinges on evidence that Venezuela’s government controls TdA.

The Alien Enemies Act provides, “whenever there shall be any invasion or predatory incursion perpetrated … against the territory of the United States, by any foreign nation or government, all natives, citizens, denizens or subjects of the hostile nation … shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured and removed, as alien enemies.”Image
Image
🧵/3 Other U.S. intelligence agencies have rejected the FBI’s conclusions, dismissing evidence of collusion between Tren de Aragua (TdA) and the Maduro regime. A controversial assessment by the National Intelligence Council (NIC) dated April 7, 2025 released earlier this month expressed skepticism, concluding that “the Maduro regime probably does not have a policy of cooperating with TdA and is not directing TdA movement to and operations in the United States.”
