It can be hard to know where to start when you set out to debunk a mountain of hogwash like the one found in Michael Tracey’s latest article on Darryl Cooper.

I don’t blame Cooper for refusing to engage Tracey in his questions. It’s an exhausting task to pick through bad faith “hit pieces” like that and if I had just lost a family member, I sure as heck wouldn’t do it.

But since I wasn’t particularly busy this week, and since I was especially enraged at the smarmy, deceitful way Tracey tried to both smear Cooper and rewrite the history on the Epstein case, I said “meh, somebody’s gotta respond, might as well be me.”

So without further ado, let’s go. This is long, my apologies upfront

🧵

(note: I do not know Darryl Cooper and I have never communicated with him in any way. I took this task on, of my own volition, and nothing I post should be viewed as me attempting to answer for Darryl Cooper.)Image In Michael Tracey’s latest edition of “Shoot the Messenger” he set his sites on podcaster Darryl Cooper.

Specifically Tracey honed in on Cooper’s 3 hour July 18 interview w Tucker Carlson in which Copper laid out in meticulous detail the Epstein case & subsequent govt coverup

The false, defamatory and libelous accusations against Tony Aguilar 🧵

When I first started to report on the Tony Aguilar case, I struggled with the ethics of posting a married couple’s most trying and difficult times for all the world to see and comment on. After consulting with numerous people, my friend Matthew said “Mel, it’s genocide. There’s nothing that matters more than that.” And I simply couldn’t argue.

Still, I did my best to respect their privacy and only post what I thought was absolutely necessary to refute the false claims of spousal abuse against Tony.

But since we’re dealing with Zionists, of course the bare minimum was never going to be enough. As we all know, Zionists will do ANYTHING to defend their precious genocidal apartheid state: lie, cheat, steal… doesn’t matter. They have no limits.

So of course the 3 pages signed affidavit from Tony’s wife stating unequivocally that he DID NOT ABUSE HER wasn’t enough. And in the weeks since I’ve been tagged in every single stupid kind of thread you could possibly imagine.

But yesterday I was tagged in a new thread, this one including 2 pages from the 139 page Aguilar child custody file.

And to my utter shock and horror, these Zionist scumbags had gone SOOOO much further than I ever expected.

They took 2 completely different court documents, one a separation agreement and the other a completely separate court order from 8 months later and welded them together as if they were one.

They then presented these two completely different documents as *proof* that Tony Aguilar was charged with spousal abuse and he leveraged charges against his wife to clear them.

THIS. IS. A. LIE.

Let me repeat:

THIS. IS. A. BOLD. FACED. FUCKING. LIE.

So here is my very last post on this topic, complete with all court docs and links.

TBC: I am only doing this because To y Aguilar’s testimony matters. Attacks on his character matter. I did everything I could to avoid this and I take no joy in talking about these things. Marriage is hard, people make mistakes. I pray that Tony’s (ex?)wife got the help she needed and I hate that the details of this dark time in their lives have become fodder for the social media masses. From the beginning:

• Dec 1, 2021 Allison Aguilar falls down while drinking and breaks her nose.

• Dec 2, 2021 Aguilar goes to the Womack Medical Center on Ft. Bragg for her broken nose and the Harnett Co Sheriff is called.

The sheriff’s office opens an incident report.

Just took a trip down to my county courthouse to check out this supposed “arrest record” for myself.

I knew something wasn’t right for a multitude of reasons:

1. The zip code on that address is a Ft Bragg zip code not a Sanford one.

2. Duke Lane doesn’t exist.

3. Arrest notices use the full docket number. The one in that picture is missing the last 3 numbers.

And just as I suspected, every last one of these pieces of shit is lying through their teeth.

And yes, I can prove it. 🧵Image

First off I searched for the case number. And I found it. On a felony firearm possession case in Alamance County. Image

I went through and screenshot all the messages GHF is using to smear Anthony Aguilar.

🧵

1. GHF started operating in Gaza on May 28, 2025. All the messages of praise for GHF are from the first couple days.

That red box quote is literally from Day 1. Image
Image
Pretty sure Aguilar was some kind of team leader and all of these messages seem worded to keep morale boosted. Image

Just found out that the head of in-house litigation for the McDonald v. FEC case, Alan Gura, is literally an Israeli born dual-citizen.

Because OFC he is!!!

For those who don’t know, this case has NOTHING to do with privacy and EVERYTHING to do with stopping us from being able to monitor smurfing donations to political campaigns.

If you don’t know what smurfing is, it’s a money laundering scheme where unknown persons make hundreds, sometimes thousands, of small-dollar donations (less than $200) to political campaigns in the names of real Americans without their knowledge.

The people most often busted for running these scams are foreign nationals who are barred from donating directly to political campaigns or rich Americans who either can’t donate more money because they have reached their legal limit or who want to donate to a certain candidate without other people knowing.

The scam itself isn’t particularly new or innovative. Rich people have been giving money to their secretaries and gardeners to make political contributions for them for decades.

But the way it’s being done now, using AI powered bot programs to run millions of tiny transactions under the radar, through ActBlue and WinRed, that’s only been going on at an industrial scale, since 2017 for ActBlue and 2019 for WinRed.

I’ve written about a dozen threads on it, I’ll link them in the comments.

But it’s fascinating to me to know now that it’s literally an Israeli citizen who heads the team of litigators trying to shutdown the public’s ability to track this stuff. They don’t want WinRed and ActBlue to have to disclose the names of any donors who donate less than $200 to a political campaign. If they can block that, they’ll be able to shutdown all public inquiry into the scam.

And now you know why Republicans have been dragging their feet on their ActBlue “investigations.”Image This thread tracks the donor numbers and amounts across several cycles

⚡️Campaign Finance: Mike Waltz 🧵

After Saturday’s story from the WP that claimed Mike Waltz was fired from his role as National Security Advisor for engaging in “intense coordination” with Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu behind Trump’s back, I decided to take a glance at Waltz’s campaign finance filings to see if they could shed any light on who pulls his strings.

I don’t know what I was expecting to find but I definitely wasn’t expecting what I found.

Specifically, I was surprised to learn that days before resigning from the House, Mike Waltz used his principal campaign fund to pay exorbitant “consulting” fees to companies owned by two of his congressional staffers, Micah Ketchel and James Hewitt, and one member of the Trump transition team, Brian Hughes, all of whom were then hired to work directly for him at the National Security Council.

And then days after resigning from the House, Waltz continued to use his Mike Waltz for Congress account to pay for over $45,000 worth of travel, office, catering and event expenses in and around DC during the inauguration. Despite the fact that he’s not running any kind of campaign.

(Article version at bottom of thread) Mike Waltz closed out the 2024 election cycle with a little more than $1.5 million in the bank in his principal campaign fund. Image

⚡️Campaign Finance 🧵: Foreign Lobbying

You ever want to make a comment or write a post about something but you already know exactly what all the haters or going to say so you just leave it alone bc you don’t have the time or energy to deal w their sh*t?

That’s how I feel every time I want to talk about the Zionist lobby.

So I decided to write this thread to head off what I know is coming when I start dropping my other threads this week.

It’s not short or sweet but it is informative and it’ll probably help answer some questions you may have if you care about foreign influence over our political systems.

(article version linked at bottom)

_______________ If death and taxes are the only two things certain in life, then at the top of the list of *almost* certain is the guarantee that if Israeli influence on Congress is being discussed at least one boob is going to chime in w “how come you never talk abt all these OtHeR countries?!”

JFK Files 🧵

As of July 2023, the date of Joe Biden’s last “certification of files” in the JFK record, there were still 4,684 documents being withheld, in part or in whole, from the public. A short thread on the most import documents still under seal: 1. Partial redactions on page 8 and 10 and the full redaction of page 9 from the June 1961 memo written by White House adviser Arthur Schlesinger to Kennedy on how the president could best accomplish his goal of “splintering the Agency [the CIA] into a thousand pieces and scattering it to the winds.”Image

⚡️Matt Gaetz 🧵: What Actually Happened

Alright frens, now that Matt Gaetz is out of the running you’re going to hear a lot of takes on what happened and plenty of “keep your d*ck in your pants” lines too.

And while that’s always good advice, the story I’m about to share goes way beyond anything you could possibly imagine. So if you’re interested in the whole story, consolidated in one place, of what really happened with and to Gaetz, take a seat and let me tell you a story Part I: The Tax Collector

This story begins in Fall 2019 in Florida, with this man: Joel Greenberg.

At the time Joel Greenberg was 2.5 years into his first term as the Tax Collector for Seminole County. Image

⚡️Arizona Election 🧵

Sighhh… I regret to inform you my friends that Arizona is at it again. At this point Arizona’s election shenanigans could become a third pillar in Ben Franklin’s axis of certainties in life.

We’re 5 days out from Election Day and while yes, they are making progress, with an estimated 87.41% of the votes counted, the number of irregularities being reported in the count is growing by the minute.

The math ain’t mathin’ folks. Pull up a chair and let me show you what I’ve found: First things first: how the count works in Arizona. First off votes fall into one of the following categories:

Early vote/early drop off (voters request an early ballot and return it to a drop off location *before* Election Day)

Early vote/Election Day drop off (voters request an early ballot and return it to polling place *on* Election Day)

Election Day vote (i.e. normal voting)

Provisional ballots (there was a hiccup in the system on Election Day identifying the voter and/or confirming their eligibility at the polling place so their ballot is placed in provisional status until it can be verified)

“We must always defend the only Democracy in the Middle East”

This is Entisar Hijaze, she’s a 23 year old teacher from Nazareth.

Late last night Entisar’s home was raided and she was blindfolded, handcuffed and arrested for the grave crime of sharing a TikTok memory. Image I’m not kidding. Entisar was arrested and is being held in prison for at least 3 days bc she shared a memory on TikTok yesterday from 1 year ago.

According to National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir this video is evidence of Entisar “celebrating Hamas’ attack”

⚡️Election 2024🧵: Voter Fraud

Part I: The Curious Case of Ozzie Myers

Remember that time Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted of sex trafficking children to… no one? That was crazy, huh? Well the case of Ozzie Myers is kinda like that except with election fraud.

Settle in friends and let me tell you a story about how a former congressman turned felon turned political consultant was caught and convicted of rigging the Democrat primary in 3 consecutive cycles and yet not a single one of his clients has ever been named or exposed… until now. Michael Joseph Myers, aka Michael Ozzie Myers, is somewhat of a prodigal son of South Philadelphia. Nominated by the Dem Party of PA to fill the vacancy in PA’s congressional delegation that opened on the death of Bill Barrett in 1976 Image

Seeing lots of talk about Mike Johnson accepting $95,000 from AIPAC prior to his push for the Israel military aid bill.

And while yes it’s true that he took that money, I can assure you that the $500,000 his JFC accepted from rabid Zionist Keith Rabois and the $677,000 it accepted from dispensationalist Tim Dunn played a much greater role in his decision making than that paltry $95k from AIPAC.Image
Image
After all, how else would Johnson pay his $300,000-$525,000/month “travel” expenses?

And then like 3 days later the entire incident was memory holed?Image Doesn’t surprise me at all. They shut it down REAL quick.

⚡️Campaign Finance🧵: Adam Kinzinger

Have you ever wondered what becomes of socially awkward politicians with no marketable skills, aside from crying on cue, when they are gerrymandered out of public office?

Better yet, do you ever wonder what happens to all the leftover campaign $$ they bilked out of pussy-hat wearing cat ladies in the name of saving our Democracy™?

If the answer is yes, this one’s for you! Prior to finding fame in the J6 fallout, the most remarkable thing about Mr. Kinzinger was just how unremarkable his congressional career had been.

Despite representing the reddest district in IL Kinzinger prided himself on being a bipartisan stooge at every turn.

⚡️Campaign Finance🧵: Campaign Committees

If you want to follow the money in politics you have to know all the places to look 👀

A crash course in campaign committees you probably didn’t even know existed 👇 One common misconception abt campaign finance is that the Citizens United ruling allows the rich to give as much💰as they want to politicians for their campaigns. This is false.

Campaign contribution limits are still firmly in place & are capped @ $6,600 total for the 2024 cycle

You know what I find super impressive?! The fact that @AdamSchiff was able to raise over $31 million for his Senate campaign in just 13 months despite the fact that 65% of his donors report being unemployed.

This, after he just finished raising $23.6 million for his 2022 House race where, again, 64% of his donors reported being unemployed.

Serious question? Why does an 11 term Congressman in a D+23 district need to raise $23.6 million from mostly unemployed Americans… and then spend over $17 million to win reelection in a race where all the other candidates combined raised less than $200,000?Image You’ll notice it says $18.2 million in disbursements but that number includes $175 k in refunds & another million in donations to other campaigns. Yes, that’s right, Schiff gave less than 5% of what he raised away to help other candidates.

With this kind of ludicrously wasteful campaign spending on himself, you’d be forgiven for mistaking him for a Republican!Image

⚡️Campaign Finance 🧵: Letitia James

When I got asked to look into Letitia James’ financials last week, I really wasn’t expecting to find much. As you probably know, James is the Attorney General of New York who just secured a $454 million judgement against Donald Trump. James was elected as the NY AG in 2018 and re-elected in 2022. Prior to that James was the NYC “public advocate” for 4 years and a NYC city council member for 8 years prior to that. Prior to elected office she was a public defender for Legal Aid.

Y’all want to see what a ghost donor bot looks like?

Here’s the data from a 65 yo retired man living in a 962 sq ft house in Clawson, Michigan.

From 2019-2023 the FEC has recorded him making over 15,600 separate donations to political campaigns.

The list below shows the receiving campaign, the # of donations made and the total amount donated from 2019-2023Image
Image
This list is just Presidential, Senate & House campaigns. It does not include the 5,000+ donations “he” made to Joint Fundraising Committees or the 1,000+ donations “he” made to leadership committees.

Dan Crenshaw spent over $2 million dollars on “events” and event related services, like event make-up and jet rentals, in the 2022 cycle.

He spent over $500,000 on travel. Including $47,000 on black car rentals.

Crenshaw spent $200,000 on promotional eyepatches and glassware.

He billed his campaign $36,000 for “petty cash”

He spent $166,000 on hotels, most of them luxury hotels, in vacation destinations like Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Coronado Beach, California.

All in all, Crenshaw spent over $14 million from his primary campaign fund to win reelection in his R+18 district. His Democrat opponent spent less than $200,000.

None of the numbers below include the expenses he billed for in his Joint Fundraising Committee (another $1.8 million) or his Leadership PAC ($75,000).

And I’m supposed to care about George Santos? At least George Santos did something impressive with his campaign funds: unseat a 3 term Dem incumbent in a D+2 district.


Image

Richard Hudson spent $1.8 million to get re-elected in his R+9 district in 2022. His Democrat opponent spent $90,000. Since his re-election was a forgone conclusion, Hudson didn’t bother with silly things like renting a campaign office. Instead he spent his money “consulting.”

And travel. And a rental car. Somehow Hudson ran up $44,000 in rental car bills… almost like his campaign was paying for him to use a rental car full time🤔

Hudson also had a few luxury hotels billed to his account, and his campaign paid $1,200 for a ski lift in Telluride at one of these “campaign events.”

He billed his campaign $28,000 for challenge coins- whatever the fvck those are?

And of course, there’s the $25,839 he billed for his custom campaign apparel from Vineyard Vines.

Weird how I’m supposed to be mad that George Santos spent $6,000 at Ferragamo but totally cool with Dickie Hudson dropping $25,000 on Vineyard Vines?

Came across this today and thought you all might like to see what a stark difference there was between the 2018 cycle and the 2020 cycle.

Remember how I said *something* happened for Democrats in 2018 that sent their small dollar receipts through the roof? And then that very same something happened for Republicans in 2020? Take a look at Kevin McCarthy’s 2018 small $ donations vs 2020’s

In 2018 McCarthy received just $29,422 total in donations less than $200. For that $29,422, there were just 57 receipts. Nearly all of them are people who gave $100 twice which put them at the $200 threshold for itemization (i.e. record keeping).

Flash forward to 2020, just two years later and now Kevin McCarthy is reporting $16,814,474 in donations less than $200 and a total of 81,691 receipts. Except these aren’t a bunch of duplicate $100 donations. These are receipts for people making dozens, sometimes hundreds of donations, for anywhere from a few pennies to just $10 (remember, they have to make 20 $10 donations to make the record keeping cutoff).Image
Image
Image
Image
Take for instance this woman named Janet. Janet went from having never made more than two donations to any politician, EVER, to donating over 740 times in a single cycle to just Kevin McCarthy.

In total, Janet made 15,186 donations in the 2020 cycle for a total of $42,951- but the average donation was just $2.83.Image
