🧵🧵 How did a communist become Mayor of the second largest city in America.

Let’s do a deep dive into Karen Bass. She had destroyed Los Angeles because that’s what she was trained to do. In the 1970s, Bass was deeply involved with a pro-Cuban group called the Venceremos Brigade, which sent young Americans to Cuba to train under Fidel Castro’s communist regime.

This wasn’t tourism. This was political indoctrination.

Founded in 1969, the Venceremos Brigade was created by U.S. leftists aligned with revolutionary Marxist ideals. The group’s mission was to show solidarity with Cuba’s communist revolution by organizing trips where American youth would work alongside Cubans, often in sugar cane fields, and participate in political indoctrination programs.

THREAD: How USAID Became a Pipeline to Fund Leftist NGOs and CIA Black Ops — With Your Tax Dollars 🧵

Let's shatter the fake narrative and the sob stories about USAID money being used to fight for poverty and that cutting off USAID money will result in the death of 300,000 children.

Anyone peddling that ridiculous claim is just lying to you.

USAID is a massive funnel of taxpayer money flowing straight into the pockets of left-wing NGOs, activist networks, and globalist institutions.

Let’s follow the money. Again. Receipts and examples below. USAID’s largest grantees include:

– National Democratic Institute (NDI)
– International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL)
– Freedom House
– Open Society Foundations' partners
– George Soros-backed groups in Latin America, Africa, and Eastern Europe
– Tides Foundation affiliates
These groups push progressive reforms, gender ideology, abortion access, and electoral interference—all abroad, with U.S. money.

USAID gave over $2 billion in 2022 to NGOs alone. USAID’s public grants database reveals that billions in taxpayer funds are awarded to nonprofit organizations with explicitly left-leaning missions, often under the language of “humanitarian aid,” “democracy support,” or “sustainable development.”

Of the top 50 recipients, nearly all promote:

– “Democracy reform” (read: election meddling)
– DEI initiatives
– LGBT advocacy abroad
– Climate change mandates
– Opposition to “right-wing extremism” (often defined as traditionalist/nationalist movements)

🧵🧵THREAD: How “Responsible Statecraft” Is Functionally Aligned With the Muslim Brotherhood Agenda

Responsible Statecraft is the media arm of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a think tank co-founded in 2019 by George Soros and Charles Koch.

This is the anti-war think tank that appeals to progressives and is now all the sudden cited by conservatives. Knowledge is power. In order to understand if the information you are getting is tainted, it is good to examine who is presenting it and what their motivations might be. So let's the rip the band aide off of the foreign policy that has taken hold not just in Obama circles but also in conservative circles. For some reason Responsible Statecraft is Anti-Israel. Anti-Gulf. Anti-American exceptionalism.

Why would Koch and Soros fund a foreign policy think tank. You would think their agenda is not aligned.

Well you would be wrong. If your goal is dismantling American influence abroad then these two people have a lot in common.

The Quincy Institute pushes a doctrine of "restraint." But in practice, it repeatedly:

– Defends Iranian proxies
– Undermines Abraham Accords
– Attacks U.S. alliances with Egypt, UAE, and Saudi Arabia
– Normalizes Islamists under the guise of “diplomacy”

Why should you care about this? Because Responsible Statecraft presents itself as “mainstream” foreign policy analysis but subtly launders Islamist-aligned narratives through an “anti-war” filter.

It’s not peace journalism. It's not about restraint. And it is not about anti-war. It’s proxy influence.

Responsible Statecraft’s rhetoric often mirrors Qatari state media, especially Al Jazeera English and Middle East Eye which both known for Brotherhood-friendly slants.

It’s not accidental. Many of their experts are the same people.

🧵THREAD: How the 2013 Smith-Mundt Modernization Act Opened the Door to U.S. Government Propaganda at Home and What Followed

In 2013, a quiet change occurred. The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012, was tucked into the NDAA, and it repealed the long-standing ban on domestic dissemination of U.S. government-produced propaganda. Few noticed when it happened and even fewer understood what it would unleash.

The original Smith-Mundt Act of 1948 explicitly prohibited the U.S. government from targeting American citizens with psychological operations or state-sponsored media campaigns. Its purpose was to prevent wartime propaganda tools from being deployed on the American people. But with the 2013 update that protection was erased.

What was the impact of that? Well... The modernization language allowed content that was created by agencies like the State Department, the DOD, and the CIA for foreign audiences to be available "on request" to U.S. audiences.

This legislative change created a gray zone that the intelligence community, the defense contractors, and the affiliated NGOs tripped all over themselves to occupy. All the sudden there were no boundaries between news, influence operations and controls on the narratives.

In 1948, the US Government could create propaganda for foreign audiences only. They did this through institutions like Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, etc. but they were explicitly forbidden from distributing that content to Americans, under the premise that government propaganda at home undermined democracy.

After 2013 there was no longer a dissemination ban on materials produced by the State Department, the Defense Department, or other agencies for foreign influence.
All of this became accessible “on request” domestically. In reality, this became a de facto legalization of domestic propaganda, because:
1. Agencies could now upload content online where it would naturally reach U.S. audiences.

2. Journalists, NGOs, and social media influencers could cite, amplify, and repackage government narratives without restriction.

3. Third-party “public-private partnerships” enabled mass influence through contractors and platforms creating distance between government fingerprints and public perception.

🧵🧵The Middle East Forum (MEF) just came out with a new report detailing Qatari influence in America since 2012.

A country of 300,000 people have spent $40 Billion dollars in America. $33.4 billion dollars in real estate and business ventures, $6.25 to American universities and $72 million dollars for lobbyists.

This thread is a summary of the findings of Middle East Forum. The article/research paper is linked at the end of the thread. US Businesses, Real Estate, and Investment Firms

Qatar has made strategic investments in American businesses totaling at least $33.4 billion. QIA opened New York City offices in 2015 to help facilitate its U.S. investments, and in 2015 the Gulf emirate committed to investing $45 billion in American businesses. Doha likely reached or surpassed this goal in recent years based on QIA’s growth trajectory and total assets.

But the true value of Qatar's real estate empire is hard to ascertain. In addition to direct ownership of properties, QIA holds shares of real estate companies and often does business through spinoffs and affiliates. One estimate suggests the Qataris have spent tens of billions on properties that amount to ten million square feet of prime real estate in Manhattan.

The Qatari flag actually flies above the entrance of the Plaza Hotel in New York City.

They entered the real estate market in Washington DC in 2010 and California in 2016 with a 1.34-billion-dollar joint venture in 4 class office buildings in Los Angeles.

🧵THREAD: Ehud Barak, Erica Chenoweth & the Engineered Chaos of Color Revolutions

1/ What do an ex-Israeli Prime Minister, a Harvard political scientist, and waves of “people-powered” uprisings have in common?
👇 It all ties back to modern regime change—engineered, refined, and often anything but organic. In fact the similarities between the protests in Israel over judicial reform just made their way to college campuses.

Why? Because the thing is never about the thing. It’s always about the globalist revolution. 2/ Ehud Barak—Israel’s former PM, ex-IDF Chief, and elite commando. But he’s more than a military man. Barak is deeply tied into globalist circles, tech elites, and has maintained disturbing links to Jeffrey Epstein—visiting his homes even post-conviction.

He has spoken in the US praising mass uprisings to “protect democracy.”

🧵🧵 Debunking the myth that Israel has committed war crimes with facts. The Geneva Convention:

The Geneva Conventions (1949) and their Additional Protocols (1977) set international humanitarian law (IHL) standards for armed conflicts, including non-international conflicts like Israel’s fight with Hamas in Gaza. Key rules include:

• Distinction (Article 48, Additional Protocol I): Parties must distinguish between combatants and civilians, targeting only military objectives.

• Proportionality (Article 51(5)(b), Additional Protocol I): Attacks must not cause excessive civilian harm relative to the military advantage gained.

• Precautions in Attack (Article 57, Additional Protocol I): Attackers must take feasible precautions to minimize civilian harm, including warnings unless circumstances preclude them.

• Protection of Civilians (Article 3, Common to All Conventions): Civilians and hors de combat (e.g., surrendered fighters) must not be targeted, tortured, or subjected to inhumane treatment.

• Prohibition of Human Shields (Article 51(7), Additional Protocol I): Using civilians to shield military objectives is forbidden.

• Respect for Protected Objects (Article 53, Additional Protocol I): Hospitals, schools, and cultural sites must not be targeted unless used for military purposes.

Israel, as a signatory, is bound by these rules. Hamas, as a non-state actor, is also obligated under customary IHL and Common Article 3, applicable to non-international conflicts.

🧵Israel/ Palestine:

I have had multiple people in the last couple of days tell me they are confused about this topic and worried that it will irrevocably divide Maga. So here is my best attempt to lay it all out. For whatever that is worth. Historical Context: The Jewish Connection to Israel and the Conflict’s Origins

The Jewish people’s connection to the land of Israel spans over 3,000 years, rooted in biblical history, archaeological evidence, and a continuous presence despite centuries of exile. The Torah and historical records document Jewish kingdoms in the region, with Jerusalem as their spiritual and political center. Even after Roman expulsion in 70 CE, Jewish communities persisted in the land, enduring Byzantine, Ottoman, and British rule.

The modern conflict began in the late 19th century with the Zionist movement, a response to centuries of anti-Semitic persecution, including pogroms in Eastern Europe and expulsions from Arab lands. Zionism sought to reestablish a Jewish homeland in the ancestral land of Israel, then under Ottoman and later British control. The Balfour Declaration (1917) and the League of Nations’ Mandate for Palestine (1920) recognized Jewish rights to a national home, affirming international legal support.

In 1947, the UN Partition Plan (Resolution 181) proposed two states: one Jewish, one Arab. Israel accepted, but Arab leaders rejected it, refusing any Jewish state. On May 14, 1948, Israel declared independence, and five Arab nations invaded, launching the first Arab-Israeli War.

Israel’s victory secured its survival but displaced approximately 700,000 Palestinians, many fleeing due to Arab leaders’ calls to evacuate. Meanwhile, 800,000 Jews were expelled from Arab countries, absorbed by Israel.

Subsequent wars: 1967’s Six-Day War and 1973’s Yom Kippur War were defensive responses to Arab aggression. Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza, and East Jerusalem in 1967, offering land for peace, as seen in treaties with Egypt (1979) and Jordan (1994). These conflicts underscore Israel’s consistent pursuit of security amid existential threats.

🧵🧵Why it is so important to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization

The Muslim Brotherhood is not merely a religious movement, instead it is a global political operation that has inspired terrorist organizations, infiltrated national institutions, and weaponized soft power to achieve its goal: replacing democratic institutions with Islamist governance.

While many U.S. allies have designated the MB as a terrorist organization, the United States has not. This policy gap has enabled MB affiliated entities to operate domestically under the guise of civil rights and religious outreach often receiving taxpayer funding through nonprofit exemptions. In 2013, Egypt designated the MB a terrorist organization for inciting violence after they ousted President Morsi.

In 2014, Sudi Arabia designated the MB as a terrorist organization linking them to terrorism, destabilization and ideological extremism.

In 2014, the UAE also designated the MB and its 80 affiliates as terror groups.

In 2014, Bahrain also designed them a terrorist organization because they were viewed as a political threat and a subversive actor.

In 2003, Russia designated the MB citing national security concerns.

In 1980 Israel designated them a terrorist organization.

In 2021, Austria also designated them the MB as a terrorist organization as part of a crackdown on foreign influence.

🧵 THREAD: Iran, China, and the ANC — How South Africa’s Alliances Threaten U.S. Security Interests

1/ The ANC’s foreign entanglements with authoritarian regimes aren’t just ideological, they’re dangerous and not just to the region but to us as well.

South Africa’s ruling party has deepening ties to Iran and China. These relationships now threaten not only regional stability but also U.S. national security. 2/ Iran’s Shadow Legacy: From Apartheid Ally to Revolutionary Backer

Under the Shah, Iran was apartheid South Africa’s #1 oil supplier.

After 1979, the Islamic Republic pivoted cutting ties with the white minority regime and backing the ANC’s liberation efforts.

It looked noble. But it was strategic. Iran wanted influence in post-apartheid Africa. And they knew the way to do it was to pay for and fuel Marxism.

🧵🧵 Why South Africa should be a start warning to us in the West about the end goal of social justice, redistribution of wealth and a class of the permanently oppressed.

The term "apartheid" is synonymous with South Africa’s brutal system of racial segregation from 1948 to 1994. However, a new form of apartheid has emerged in the post-apartheid era—not the legalized racial hierarchy of the past, but a socio-economic and political system driven by Marxist ideology that entrenches division, inequality, and exclusion. The Modern Apartheid State:

This modern apartheid, characterized by class-based segregation and racial tensions, serves as a stark warning of what happens when Marxism takes root, allowing governments to arbitrarily designate oppressors and oppressed.

South Africa’s experience holds critical lessons for the United States. But also serve as a chilling warning of what’s to come if this cancerous ideology isn’t defeated.

In South Africa, Marxist-inspired narratives shaped political discourse and policy debates and the result proved catastrophic.

1/6 Title: The Lawfare Network — How a Billion-Dollar Nonprofit Machine Hijacked the Legal System to Wage Political War

In the modern war for power in America, elections are no longer the final word.

A sprawling, coordinated network of tax-exempt nonprofits, elite legal operatives, media partners, and billionaire donors has weaponized the court system to override legislatures, destroy political opposition, and reshape U.S. law from the bench.

This isn’t civil rights advocacy.
This isn’t rule of law.
This is lawfare—and it is being executed by a professionalized machine known as the lawfare network.

And it is an ever-evolving landscape.
With each election cycle, new and obscure nonprofits emerge—each cloaked in benevolence, each advancing the same coordinated strategy: use the courts to gain what the ballot box may not deliver. 2/6 What Is the Lawfare Network?

Lawfare is the deliberate use of lawsuits, bar complaints, ethics charges, and judicial manipulation to achieve political goals.

The lawfare network is the infrastructure behind it: a coalition of legal advocacy organizations, foundations, and activist scholars, all coordinated to litigate political enemies into paralysis—while using “democracy protection” and “equity” as rhetorical shields.

Core Players: The Institutional Pillars of Lawfare in the U.S.

1.Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law (Jon Greenbaum) - Once focused on ending segregation, now a litigation strike team against GOP election laws and Trump allies.

2.Brookings Institution / CREW (Norm Eisen)- Thought-leader behind the “Democracy Playbook,” which openly outlines lawfare strategy to oppose Trump-era governance.

3.Protect Democracy (Ian Bassin, former Obama White House counsel)- Coordinates disbarment efforts, litigation, and narrative shaping under a “pro-democracy” banner.

4.Democracy Forward
Staffed by alumni of Skadden Arps and Obama’s DOJ, this group specializes in suing federal agencies to stall GOP policy.

5.Brennan Center for Justice (NYU Law)- Legal policy think tank that provides legal memos and amicus briefs for election-related lawsuits across red states.

6.American Constitution Society- Often described as the left’s version of the Federalist Society. It seeds law schools, judicial clerks, and public offices with activist lawyers.

7.PRRAC (Poverty & Race Research Action Council)
The policy backbone of the lawfare network—injecting race-based “equity” metrics into lawsuits about voting, housing, education, and redistricting. A quiet but essential force behind litigation framing.

Each of these institutions works in tandem—suing, coordinating, and reinforcing each other’s legal narratives in courtrooms, op-eds, and cable news cycles.

🧵🧵It has been 4 months since President Trump took office. In that timeframe he has put forth 150 executive orders to reverse the policies of the previous administration. Policies that every Republican campaign are reversing and complained at nauseam about online.

Let’s examine what if anything they have done to codify these executive orders. Let’s see who has actually done anything other then posting on X. Election Integrity

To secure elections, Trump’s EO (number TBD) mandates voter ID verification.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) championed the SAVE Act (H.R. 22), which passed the House on April 10, 2025.

It’s now stalled in the Senate, needing legislation to endure. No Senate sponsor has emerged—will GOP step up?

The federal trial of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs started today in Manhattan. Key Developments

•Charges: Combs faces five federal charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, and transportation for purposes of prostitution. If convicted, he could face life imprisonment.

•Jury Selection: A jury comprising 12 members and six alternates was finalized. The selection process included inquiries about potential biases, especially concerning familiarity with celebrities and views on sexual behavior.

🧵How much money does China invest into the US and what does it buy them?

I looked to see how much money China has spent to buy soft power in America and how that affected American sentiment towards:
- China

- Changes in Americans beliefs on US Foreign Policy, the Middle East, Israel, Immigration, Domestic Stability and mass migration.

- Anti-American sentiment

- Support for Open Borders - Destabilization in America (undermining US Social cohesion, security or integrity and promoting radical activism and disinformation campaigns) A. Economic Investments

Total Value: ~$100 billion additional investments (2016–2025), totaling ~$210 billion since 2005, constrained by U.S. restrictions (e.g., CFIUS reforms).

- Technology: $30 billion in U.S. tech, though deals like ByteDance’s TikTok faced scrutiny (2020–2024). Investments shifted to venture capital ($10 billion in U.S. startups).

- Real Estate: ~$20 billion, with reduced high-profile acquisitions due to U.S. oversight (e.g., Anbang’s forced divestment, 2018).

- Financial Markets: Treasury holdings peaked at $1.3 trillion (2016) but fell to ~$870 billion by 2024 amid decoupling efforts.

- Trade: Trade reached $690 billion in 2022, with U.S. exports at $150 billion and imports at $540 billion, maintaining a ~$390 billion deficit.

- Key Deals: Tencent’s $8.6 billion stake in Epic Games (ongoing) and Didi Chuxing’s U.S. IPO (2021, later delisted) highlighted China’s tech ambitions.

- Impact: Investments faced stricter CFIUS scrutiny post-2018, limiting China’s economic foothold but sustaining trade dependence.

🧵🧵Many people talk about foreign influence and how other countries own our politicians but not one talks about what it is that they are buying.

The question is not how much money foreign countries invest; the question is how much influence they have purchased and how has that influence affected America. So I did the of research. First thread is on Qatar, other countries to follow.

I looked to see how much money Qatar has spent to buy soft power in America and how that affected American sentiment towards:

- Qatar
- Changes in Americans beliefs on US Foreign Policy, the Middle East, Israel, Immigration, Domestic Stability and mass migration.
- Anti-American sentiment
- Anti-Jewish sentiment
- Support for Open Borders
- Destabilization in America (undermining US Social cohesion, security or integrity and promoting radical activism and disinformation campaigns) Economic Investments

Total Value: Since 2016 they have invested $40–$45 billion dollars in America and it breaks down as follows:

Real Estate:
- QIA acquired a 9.9% stake in Empire State Realty Trust (2016, $622 million), including the Empire State Building.
- Katara Hospitality purchased the Plaza Hotel (New York) for $600 million in 2018.
- QIA’s 44% stake in a Brookfield Property Partners mixed-use development (2016–2018)
- $100 million townhouse in Manhattan’s Upper East Side (2017) for Qatar’s consulate.

Energy:
- QatarEnergy’s 70% stake in Golden Pass LNG (Texas), a $10 billion joint venture with ExxonMobil, initiated in 2019 and nearing completion in 2025.

- $2.38 billion investment in RWE’s acquisition of Con Edison Clean Energy (2022), entering U.S. renewables.

- Technology/Other: Expanded tech investments via QIA’s Silicon Valley office (opened 2016), including stakes in U.S. startups ($500 million by 2025).

- Key Deals: Golden Pass LNG and Empire State Building stake reflect Qatar’s shift to high-impact, strategic sectors.

- Post-2016 investments surged, driven by Qatar’s need to counter the 2017–2021 Gulf blockade and diversify its economy. High-profile deals amplified economic leverage and visibility.

🧵🧵The ways and means committee released the 389 page centerpiece of the big beautiful bill. And this, this is what I voted for. Growth, stabilization, promotes business and helps the middle class. Don’t let the media lie about this like did with the TCJA.

It makes permanent key elements of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) while introducing new incentives to reward work, investment, entrepreneurship, and productivity. Its guiding philosophy is simple: lower taxes + fewer restrictions = more innovation, jobs, and prosperity.

This is arguably the most important piece of legislation for Present Trump’s second term. Pro-growth provisions:

A. Permanent Tax Relief for Families & Workers

•Permanently extends individual tax rate cuts, ensuring lower marginal rates that incentivize work, saving, and entrepreneurship.

•Expanded standard deduction helps simplify filing and rewards income earners.

•Eliminates personal exemptions in favor of a more streamlined system that increases transparency and efficiency.

B. Boost to Business Formation and Investment

•Increases the pass-through business deduction (Section 199A) from 20% to 23% and makes it permanent.

•Encourages small business formation, especially LLCs, S-corps, and sole proprietorships.

•Includes Business Development Companies (BDCs), boosting access to capital in underserved markets.

•Removes limitations based on business type for many taxpayers, reducing the bias against service-based firms.
•Higher estate and gift tax exemption ($15M) keeps family-owned businesses and farms intact across generations.

On February 5, 2025, AG Bondi formed the “Weaponization Working Group” to review prior prosecutions of Trump, including cases led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and Special Counsel Jack Smith, focusing on allegations of politicized justice.

The DOJ launched an investigation into Letitia James following a criminal referral from federal housing officials accusing her of mortgage fraud. James led a civil fraud case against Trump in 2023.
