🧵 THREAD: The CAIR–Muslim Brotherhood–Hamas Pipeline They Don't Want You to See

This thread has been a long time coming.

Let's start with a simple fact:

In its 1988 charter, Hamas openly declares itself the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.

So here's the question:
🇺🇸 Why hasn't the U.S. designated the Muslim Brotherhood as a Foreign Terrorist Organization?
Seems obvious, right?

Here’s my answer 👇

If the Muslim Brotherhood is formally labeled a terror group...

➡️ Then CAIR, founded by leaders from the Brotherhood's U.S. network, gets implicated too.

And if CAIR gets implicated…

➡️ Then so do a lot of politicians.

📍And that’s the line no one in D.C. wants to cross.

So instead, the Brotherhood stays "undesignated."
CAIR keeps the civil rights label and keeps its tax advantaged nonprofit status.
And the public is left in the dark.

Patience as I pull the receipts.Image

CAIR was co-founded by Nihad Awad and Omar Ahmad.

Awad was the public relations director for the Islamic Association for Palestine, an organization that was convicted of providing material support for the terrorism in the United States and has since been dissolved. Image
Sorry, it's hard to trace sources - I'm finding out that a lot of the information about Awad and Ahmad are censored. For example, this is Ahmad's Wikipedia page - nearly empty. Image
Where Awad was Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP)'s public relations director, Omar Ahmad was its President.

IAP was one of the three subsidiaries of the Palestine Committee, all aimed at supporting Hamas. Image
Image
So, CAIR co-founders Ahmad and Awad were intimately tied with the implicated pro-Hamas IAP, which was under the Palestine Committee umbrella.

What is the Palestine Committee? Well, it was formed by the Muslim Brotherhood to advance the cause of Hamas in the United States.

Palestine Committee consisted of three sub-organizations: IAP which was its "all-purpose" public-facing organization, Occupied Land Fund (which later became the Holy Land Foundation, HLF) which was its financial organization, and United Association for Studies and Research (UASR) as its thinktank.Image
CAIR claims that it does not receive foreign funding, but that is a lie. We know of at least one instance where CAIR received $250,000 from an official Saudi bank. Image
An internal memo presented in the Holy Land Foundation case shows that CAIR was considered part of the Palestine Committee itself.

So, yes -

CAIR *is* Muslim Brotherhood. Image
Federal documents show that CAIR was indeed founded by Muslim Brotherhood leaders, and it "conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood to support terrorists." Image
The Obama Administration would legitimize CAIR and shield it, meeting with them "hundreds" of times. John Brennan ordered the purge of "biased" training materials that portrayed Muslims in negative light. Image
But it was not just Obama. President George W Bush stood with Nihad Awad himself at a mosque a few days after 9/11 in a press conference to condemn rising anti-Muslim sentiment. Image
Image
Obama DNI James Clapper famously labeled the Muslim Brotherhood as secular. Image
I cannot over-emphasize to what extent CAIR is deeply involved in Washington politics. Awad being a high-dollar donor to Nancy Pelosi is just one example - @bullfrog35 has documented many instances where high-ranking Democratic officials have spoken at CAIR or accepted CAIR awards or displayed CAIR letters in their offices.Image
@bullfrog35 DHS met with CAIR on civil rights issues. Image
In 2002, Saudi Prince Alwaleed ibn Talal donated $500,000 to CAIR. He was famously arrested by crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman shortly after the 2017 Vegas mass shooting. Talal allegedly owns the top 5 floors of the Mandalay Bay and is the subject of numerous conspiracy theories for that event.Image
Image
@bullfrog35 CAIR itself is explicitly an "unindicted conspirator" in a scheme to funnel millions to Hamas. Image
@bullfrog35 Documents mention that the United Arab Emirates Bin Hamoodh Group and UAE minister of finance Hamdan bin Rashid finance CAIR. Image
@bullfrog35 CAIR also approached Saudi Arabia for 50 million dollars, although the outcome of that isn't clear. Image
@bullfrog35 It wouldn't be a DataRepublican thread if I didn't point out that, yeah, Soros backed CAIR: Image
@bullfrog35 As mentioned before, many Democratic officials cooperate with CAIR. Mamdani welcomed them. Minnesota AG Keith Ellison explicitly endorses CAIR. Most recently, CAIR welcomed the July 2025 "Hijab on the Hill" event involving the Congressional Muslim Staff Association. Image
Image
Image
@bullfrog35 I will wrap up this thread for now.

But make no mistake:

Hamas is Muslim Brotherhood.
CAIR is Muslim Brotherhood.
CAIR is financed by foreign organizations.
CAIR is deep in the machine of DC politics.

The Democratic party has a foreign operative problem.

🔹 In college, Barack Obama helped co-found a local chapter of CISPES (Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador), a U.S. group that supported the FMLN, a Marxist guerrilla front fighting the U.S.-backed Salvadoran government.

🔹 CISPES often worked alongside the Nicaragua Network, which championed the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua. (U.S. intelligence later confirmed that the Sandinistas supplied El Salvador’s rebels with weapons and training.)

🔹 As the solidarity scene matured:

• 1985: Nicaragua Network + Detroit CISPES ➡️ merge → CASC (Central America Solidarity Committee)
• 1993: CASC + MICAH ➡️ merge → OSCA (Organization in Solidarity with Central America)
• 1998: Former Nicaragua Network activists incorporate the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ), folding their old network inside as a project.

Today AFGJ still operates as a left-wing umbrella group ... the same lineage that began with 1980s “solidarity” campaigns.

So yes… the activist ecosystem that once rallied for Marxist guerrillas in Central America evolved, merged, and rebranded, and figures like Obama (via early CISPES work) and later Bill Ayers (through AFGJ-linked circles) both trace lines back into that same network.Image
Image
Image
Image
CISPES (of which Obama founded a local chapter, according to David Garrow) was found to have furnished funds to Marxist rebels in El Salvador, in possible violation of the Firearms Control Act.

They also met with FMLN, potentially violating FARA.

The report goes onto detail other allegations that weren't substantiated, such as CISPES taking direction from foreign governments on when and where to demonstrate.Image
I found a declassified CIA document that states that Farid Handal, brother of the Salvadoran Communist leader, traveled to meet with representatives of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to create these solidarity networks in the USA -- including CISPES. Image

🧵 THREAD: Meet the Organizers Behind No Kings protest: Indivisible’s Leah Greenberg & Ezra Levin 🇺🇸

Taking a break from book writing for this...

This week, the movement that started with a Google Doc... Indivisible... is back in the streets. ✊ Founded by former congressional staffers Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin and funded by George Soros' Open Society network, Indivisible has grown from a viral guide into one of the most powerful grassroots networks in the U.S.

Now, they’re leading NoKings, a nationwide push to remind America that democracy means no one is above the law. 👑❌

This thread dives into who Greenberg and Levin are, how Indivisible rose to prominence, and what’s really behind the “No Kings” movement.

As always, patience as I pull the thread together in real time.
👇Image
Image
Image
When you go to the NoKings website, you'll find over a hundred partners listed, many of them familiar and many Soros-backed. They include big names closely tied to the DNC such as Marc Elias' Democracy Forward.
Greenberg and Levin are co-founders of Indivisible. Other than donor-advised funds, their backing primarily comes from Open Society and Fund for a Better Future. The latter is a shadowy nonprofit backed by Sergey Brin and played a key role in the infamous "Build Back Better" campaign of 2020.Image

Does anyone know how the SPLC is funded? They report receiving over $100MM in contributions each year, but CauseIQ shows they receive few large grants from other nonprofits; they report only 26MM and that's over multiple years. That's unusual. (And, no, they don't report receiving government money.)Image
I think I'm onto something. They get paid as vendors by a ridiculous number of nonprofits: Image

🧵 THREAD: Richard Grenell: praising "diplomacy" with Maduro, Chevron, and the pro-Venezuelan MAGA faction 🇻🇪

Just last week, Grenell declared:

"I've sat across from Nicolás Maduro... I believe we can still have a deal. I believe in diplomacy. I believe in avoiding war."

Maduro is a Communist tyrant who has upended hundreds of thousands of lives, Venezuela is the self-declared capital of Antifa, and serves as the Western hemisphere proxy for Chinese and Iranian interests.

Why is President Trump's special envoy talking like this on stage in Asunción? 🕳️🐇

The answer goes a lot deeper and darker than you'd think.

This might be my most controversial thread yet... but it involves a whole lot of MAGA players who are invested in maintaining the status quo with Venezuela, mostly through Chevron oil licenses.
For a long time, Chevron has had its tentacles on MAGA. Back on May 6th, a coordinated messaging campaign went up among multiple mega-influencers. Two days after that, one of the most famous MAGA influencers wrote her first op-ed concerning Chevron and China messaging. I redact the name because I don't want to make it about her.Image
Image
This early May timing coincided with the threat to shut down Chevron leases on May 27.

Earlier this year, Harry Sargeant III was identified as the one who opened up communications between Maduro and Grenell in an attempt to create an "oil-for-migrants" deal. His Image

@MrAndyNgo Here's the account. Have fun.
@MrAndyNgo This might be the first case of "Democracy Theory" radicalizing a killer (as opposed to the usual trans/antifa motives). He followed all the democracy folks. Posted a lot about saving democracy. Image
