Well, this was quite an interesting trip...bear with me because there are a few twists and turns...but, I think it's pretty eye opening...

I actually started here...with the most bizarre flowchart on Uranium One...Really could rip this apart for a while...but, onward...

If you're still reading, let me say THANKS! I know this is a monster thread, but the background/context is relevant. Also helps me remember to be patient with the investigations because it always seems to be a labyrinth😂😣...ok off to Tanzania...

👆Last bit from that article above...I would be curious to read more in depth research on this point...

And, for some domestic 'conservation' easements...

So, to wrap this up👉Friedkin - Billionaire family with big game hunting company in Tanzania and long-term land/resource management agreement👉conservation↔️exclusive rights to hunting blocks...also has history of conflicts/benefitting from appointment

that when compared with other appointments indicates favor from large political campaign donations domestically as well👉while lobbying for additional influence/benefit...makes ya wonder who was behind the recent big game hunting trophies eh?🤔🙄😡

unroll please...thanks!
