HAMAS: COMING TO AMERICA🧵

As promised, my report from Israel.

First, a few background notes.

If you’re looking for a thread that runs through all of the countries/places I’m visiting on my latest expedition—World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland; Auschwitz - Birkenau &… 2.

…Nowa Huta near Krakow, Poland; Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, & Gaza; and 3 more countries to go—it is this:

I intend to demonstrate how the crackpot ideas that are historically formed in places like Davos become policy and are sent downstream and demolish the lives of millions….

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM UPDATE (FINAL REPORT): 🧵

Now that I’ve had time to process this year’s annual WEF Nuremberg-like rally in Davos, Switzerland, I’m ready to give you the main takeaways.

A. It starts with President Trump.

Every single report following the president’s… Image 2.

…address was either outright lies or missed the point. Trump’s thesis wasn’t Greenland or NATO or Ukraine or borders or windmills or the economy.

These were all spokes off of a central hub: “American citizens.” This is what made his remarks so remarkable, especially…

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM UPDATE 2:

Good morning from Switzerland!

People frequently ask if it’s dangerous for someone like me to attend the WEF.

No.

Then again, after last year’s WEF, I went to Cairo to see what I could dig-up on USAID, went home, and was SWATTED.

So, maybe… 2/

…it is. But it is much more likely that incident — the FBI still hasn’t arrested anyone — was related to my exposure of USAID’s nefarious activities in South America (human trafficking) and Egypt (funding terrorism).

Moving on…

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM UPDATE 1: WHAT IS THE WEF?🧵

Good morning!

I write to you from beautiful (and expensive) Switzerland. I’ll be updating you from here for the next ten days.

To loosely quote Alice in Wonderland, I’ll start at the beginning and keep going until I reach… Image 2/

…the end.

What is the World Economic Forum?

Founded in 1971 by German engineer Klaus Schwab, the organization’s mission statement is not only a clue to its gargantuan ambition, but to the gargantuan self-importance of its members: “Improving the state of the world.”… Image

ISLAM, GUNS, & MASS KILLINGS:🧵

1/16

I visited the sites of some of the most notorious mass killings in modern history:

• Nice Attack: (France): 86
• Charlie Hebdo (Paris): 12
• The Bataclan (Paris): 90
• Hypercacher Kosher Market (Paris): 17
• 7/7 Bombings (UK): 52 2/16

• Madrid Train Station: 193
• Stockholm Truck Attack: 5
• Boko Haram Attacks (Nigeria): ?
• London Bridge: 8

In each place, I interviewed witnesses when possible. These themes emerged:

1. The attackers were well armed in spite of…

CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IN NIGERIA EXPLAINED:🧵

When I was in Cairo earlier this year and all hell broke loose with Egyptian State Security outside of USAID, here’s the secret part I could say little about at that time:

I wasn’t in Egypt for USAID.

I was there to meet with… Image 2/

…Nigerian Christians who have suffered at the hands of Boko Haram and the Fulani Herdsmen Militia, both Islamic terrorist groups.

You see, I was in Nigeria some years ago to report on the terror for Fox News. The plan was simple: I would fly into Abuja without… Image

VLADIMIR PUTIN:🧵

I’m working through a number of Putin biographies in prep for an “Ideas Have Consequences” series. (You can subscribe via the link in my bio.)

The problem for anyone venturing to understand him is the deliberate deception on both sides: on the part… Image 2/

USAID, ISRAEL, SWATTING, & WAR:🧵

Now, about that USAID rabbit hole I’ve been promising you….

Last week, my home was “swatted,” which is nothing less than attempted murder by proxy.

But why?

Let’s try to connect some dots. 2/

For several years I have been investigating our border crisis—but waaay on the other side of the border.

This took me all over South and Central America, primarily to cartel towns, Darién, and migrant camps.

Everywhere I saw USAID signage. I saw they were working in…

I was SWATed last night as you can see in these 3 videos.

I was in bed, but noticed Ranger, my German shepherd, was on the prowl, his ears up. I heed his instincts.

I then saw a flicker of light on my BR door. Ranger went to investigate, I got my gun….. 2/5

I saw the silhouette of a man on my deck with an AR15.

Given my recent run-in with USAID and the Egyptian secret police in Cairo, I didn’t know what to think.

I could hear whispers and saw two other men also in body armor, heavily armed….

***USAID - CAIRO CORRUPTION***

By God’s grace, I am now out of Egypt.

Let me state at the outset of this report:

• An X🧵is insufficient to tell the full story.

• There are ongoing complications. So you must read between the lines.

Last week in a🧵that got 12 million… 2/

…views, I reported that I made a visit to USAID - Cairo.

To those unfamiliar with my work, I have been tracking globalist initiatives at both ends:

• Then I go downstream to see how those idea play out… Image

***USAID - CAIRO 1/14***

Today I paid an unexpected visit to the USAID headquarters in Cairo.

The last few years I have shown you how USAID organized, financed, & ran the invasion across our southern border.

Today I visited their fortress-like offices in Egypt…. 2/14

Approaching the gate manned by Egyptian guards, we bluffed our way in and drove through the su*cide b*m8er barriers. This was aided, no doubt, by the fact that we were in a Mercedes (the diplomatic car of choice) and I look unmistakably American.

A SPY AT THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM:🧵

The eyes of the world are rightly on Donald Trump's inauguration as President of the United States.

But let's not forget that while globalists have suffered a setback, they're meeting this week, per usual, in Davos.

I'll be there.Image 2/16

Indeed, the California fires and Trump's inauguration have made it possible for the WEF to meet under the cover of darkness.

What exactly is the WEF and why should you care?

The World Economic Forum, founded in 1971, is a kind of action committee for...Image

A Christmas I’ll Never Forget:🧵

I was 21. A truck driver during the day and a student at night, I was asked to teach Sunday school at a little rural Alabama church that met only twice a month.

You see, the membership was old and few in number. Many thought the church…Image 2.

…should be closed. But these ornery old people liked their church and didn’t care what anyone else thought they should or shouldn’t do.

One of the members had heard me speak and asked if I would be their pastor.

Pastor?

I didn’t know anything about that, but I agreed… Image

THE APPEAL OF TRASH HISTORY🧵

Carlson’s interview with a revisionist historian rightly caused a firestorm.

The responses to my earlier🧵provide some additional insight to the controversy.

Let’s look at what is going on here…. 2.

Let’s consider Cooper’s historical methodology.

I watched the interview multiple times. Watch it. Cooper likes making sweeping, authoritative, controversial pronouncements with Trump-like self-assurance. Unless you’re a specialist, and Carlson isn’t, you might shrink from…

Would you like a feel-good story about The Rolling Stones?🧵

Well, I’m here for you.

Whenever I’m in London, I use Black Cabs, the best taxi drivers in the world.

The old timers have great stories, and I always ask: “Who’s the most famous person you’ve ever had in your taxi?” 2.

Over the years I’ve heard stories about Laurence Olivier, Charleton Heston, Tony Blair, Judy Dench, Alice Cooper, Mick Jagger, Richard Harris, and many others.

But this is my favorite story.

A taxi driver tells me he picked up an old guy on London’s West End one evening…

READY FOR A CREEPY STORY? 🧵

This is me filming in front of the US embassy in Mexico City last week.

These are all people trying to get into the US via the CBP One App—a program funded by you.

They didn’t want me filming. You’ll hear a Mexican security guard stop me and… 2/

I had been assured by Mexican lawyers that I could film anything so long as I did not enter the US embassy. As you can see, I did not enter.

The US uses a Mexican security firm outside the embassy and they had clearly been instructed to stop… Image

TIM WALTZ & CHINA:🧵

As a guy who travels A LOT, I’m having a hard time with the fact that Tim Waltz has been in China 30+ times. It smells.

Let me explain to you how this works practically…. Image 2.

China isn’t Canada. Meaning, there’s a visa process for Americans. It’s not visa-upon-arrival as in some Latin American countries. You must apply for entry. It takes time.

Communist states are historically suspicious of Americans, and for good reason. We seldom share…

MATT WALSH & AMBER ROSE:🧵

Yesterday @MattWalshBlog got dragged across Twitter concrete for his take on the #RNC platforming #AmberRose.

Judging from the responses, his critics didn’t read what he said, but instead read highly emotional takes on his tweet.

Let’s take a look: Image 2/18

After the tweet above, social media keyboard warriors sprang to Rose’s defense as if Walsh were her verbal assassin perched atop a sloped Twitter roof.

Catturd led the way.

Walsh was an “egomaniac,” he said, who had set himself up as “judge and jury.” Image

HISTORY ACCORDING TO CANDACE OWENS

I saw the BBC doc that provoked @RealCandaceO’s absurd historical claims regarding “Allied ethnic cleansing” of Germans post-WW2.

I’ll record an episode of “Ideas Have Consequences” to address this. But first, a🧵to help you decipher it: Image 2/

The documentary, “The Savage Peace,” produced by Peter Molloy, focuses on the very real post-WW2 reprisals against Germans in Eastern Europe. The documentary, while factual in many respects, is quite deceptive at 3 key points:

1. WHO DID IT

The documentary ends with…
