New investigation from me:

Israel's most powerful supporter might just be billionaire media baron Rupert Murdoch. The Australian has been personal friends with successive Israeli Prime Ministers, and has used his media empire to relentlessly push pro-Israel propaganda.

Find out more about his extensive business, political and personal ties to Israel, and how he is holding together its public image in the West.

I'm in Venezuela right now, where an attempted coup d'etat is underway.

The coup is being fueled by a torrent of fake news.

In this thread, I highlight and break down some of the most egregious fake news circulating, including many false stories promoted by Elon Musk himself.

While US politicians like Anthony Blinken and Marco Rubio have denounced the Venezuelan elections as a sham, I spoke with dozens of American election observers, who were impressed by the process, and who were confident the elections were clean.

Solidarity from Venezuela to Palestine.

I spoke to the Palestinians observing the Venezuelan elections, and, in the process, uncovered an incredible network of solidarity between the two countries.

Venezuela is the worldwide leader in support for Palestine, the Palestinian ambassador told me.

My new investigation:

Why has Chuck D, from the legendarily rebellious and radical rap group, Public Enemy, teamed up with the State Department to become one of its global cultural ambassadors?

The program, as Chuck D and Antony Blinken openly state, is based on the CIA's Cold War program to use art and music to promote regime change around the world. Even worse, the CIA used black artists and musicians to get close to African leaders and assassinate them.

Please read and share this extremely important story that will affect all of us in the coming years.

Elon Musk is currently posturing as some anti-establishment outsider.

But the truth is that he owes his wealth, fame and career to his decades-long and not well-known connections to the CIA and US national security state.

Find out more about how the CIA birthed his company SpaceX, and how massive government subsidies still support his businesses to this day by checking out my investigation.

Many of the details will shock you!

You won't believe how much money weapons companies give to think tanks in the US.

My new investigation into the funding of the top 50 US think tanks has found that arms companies supply them with MILLIONS of dollars yearly. And in return, those think tanks churn out pro-war propaganda that directly benefits the arms industry.

New investigation from me:

The screams of babies as buildings collapse in Gaza. Terrified parents carrying the remains of their children away in plastic carrier bags. These scenes โ€“ altogether too familiar today โ€“ come enabled by German-American tech billionaire Peter Thiel and his company, Palantir, whose software uses AI and big data to help the Israeli military surveil, target and slaughter hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. It is also used by ICE, the FBI and U.S. law enforcement to destroy privacy, to attack whistleblowers, and to turn the Orwellian concept of โ€œpre-crimeโ€ (identifying and tracking potential subversives before they commit any offense) into a reality.

The Silicon Valley oligarch has deep ties to the CIA and the military-industrial complex and is one of the Republican Partyโ€™s most powerful backers. Already one of the worldโ€™s most influential individuals, if Donald Trump wins in November, Thiel has set himself up to become a โ€œshadow president,โ€ wielding gigantic power over us all. This is his story.

Don't forget that, in 2021, the United States and Israel were the only two nations that voted against a resolution making food a universal human right.

That Israel is blocking food trucks into Gaza with US support now is highly relevant.

Israeli spies are writing America's news.

My investigation uncovers a network of former agents of Israeli spying agency Unit 8200, who now work in prestigious US media outlets like Axios and CNN, writing and producing the Israel/Palestine content that Americans read every day.

Sacha Baron Cohen is trending, so this is the perfect time to remind everyone of his close links to both US and Israeli intelligence.

In a 2009 interview with David Letterman, Baron Cohen casually mentioned that "Brรผno" was made possible by the CIA, and that a CIA agent helped arrange much of the film.

I managed to find that CIA agent and talk to him. His name is John Kirakou and he later became a whistleblower.

Kirakou told me that Baron Cohen was obsessed with finding a "terrorist" and making him look stupid on camera. Kiriakou advised against it, but Baron Cohen eventually interviewed Ayman Abu Aita -- a Christian Palestinian NGO worker -- and presented him as a radical jihadist in the movie. In this interview with Letterman, Baron Cohen casually refers to him as a "terrorist" eight times.

Abu Aita's life was ruined, and he sued for nearly $100 million. The case was settled for an undisclosed sum in 2012.

Brรผno depicts Muslims as rabid homophobic trash. But the most shocking and newsworthy case of exposing bigotry Baron Cohen has documented has never been revealed.

Kiriakou notes that, while in character as Brรผno in Jerusalem, Baron Cohen was beaten nearly to death by an enraged crowd of homophobic Israelis, who, angered by his camp and sacrilegious attire, started stoning him, on camera. A rabbi even spat on him. He was nearly killed.

It was the only time in his career that he broke character and desperately yelled that he was an Israeli Jew, not a homosexual foreigner. The comedian fled for his life and found refuge in a nearby store bathroom.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

From an early age, Baron Cohen's friends note that he was an obsessive Zionist who went to live in Israel in his youth.

He grew up idolizing Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, and met him in 2012.

In 2019, Baron Cohen starred in "The Spy", an Israeli series idolizing Mossad agent Eli Cohen. Cohen goes deep undercover in Syrian high society, providing intelligence to Israel that was crucial for its victory over Syria in the 1967 war. To this day, Israel illegally occupies Syrian and Palestinian land captured in 1967.

"The Spy" was directed by a former Israeli paratrooper, who worked closely with the Mossad to produce it. The series has been used extensively in Mossad recruitment campaigns.

โ€”โ€”โ€”-

"Brรผno" was also made with the help of the US military.

Baron Cohen's character visits a US military base, in order to become more manly.

Baron Cohen insists that his production company lied to the military and was forced to flee the scene once they were rumbled, escaping under a rapidly descending road block, like in the famous scene from "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

But this doesn't hold water. Firstly, are we meant to believe no one at the military base recognized one of the world's most famous comedians playing an iconic character that had been around for more than a decade?

Secondly, the military base scene features a lot of back-and-forths with military officers that sound blatantly scripted.

And moreover, it is illegal to use footage from inside US military installations without express permission from the Dept of Defense, who must have cleared it afterwards.

Thanks to Freedom of Information requests, we also have the weekslong email conversations/negotations between "Brรผno" producers and the military.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”-
And let's remember "The Dictator", Baron Cohen's 2012 satire of Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi.

Written and filmed at exactly the same time as NATO was working with jihadists to overthrow Gaddafi and turn the country into an open-air slave market, the movie features some of the crudest Islamophobic stereotypes seen anywhere on television.

Muslims are presented as interested only in killing Americans or molesting women, while Gaddafi himself is working on developing nuclear weapons to use against Israel.

"The Dictator" was released just after the NATO intervention that empowered pro-US jihadist forces and destroyed what was once Africa's most prosperous nation, and could not have been better timed for US and Israeli interests.
๐Ÿ‘98๐Ÿ’ฏ37๐Ÿคฌ15โค7๐Ÿ‘6๐Ÿ”ฅ2๐Ÿ˜ฑ2๐Ÿคฎ2
In other words, this is regime change propaganda dressed up as satire.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”

In his latest TV appearance, Baron Cohen's Borat character claimed that, in Kazakhstan, Kamala Harris would be arrested and executed for marrying a Jewish man.

This is a gross lie played for laughs with a public that has been fed decades of Islamophobic propaganda.

In reality, Kazakhstan was a haven for Jews during the Holocaust, the country taking in huge numbers of Jewish people from Eastern Europe.

Today, Jewish group praise the country as a model of tolerance.

But you know where it is illegal for Kamala Harris to marry a Jew? Baron Cohen's beloved Israel, where inter-faith (i.e. interracial) marriage is strictly prohibited by law.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”


Polls show that Americans consider Muslims to be subhuman, and akin to apes.

For the US and Israeli governments, this kind of dehumanization is an absolutely crucial step in the control of the Middle East and its resources. You cannot easily subjugate people you respect.

And that is where Baron Cohen's "comedy" comes in, playing a vital role in the interests of Western imperialism. He's a joke, yes, but not in the way he thinks.

Revealed: The Israel Lobbyists Writing Americaโ€™s News

My new investigation reveals a vast network of hundreds of former Israel lobbyists now working in America's newsrooms, affecting their output.

Individuals who previously worked for pro-Israel lobby groups such as Friends of the IDF, StandWithUs and AIPAC are now working in some of the most influential outlets in the world, including CNN, Fox News, The New York Times, ABC News and CBS News.

This includes the Executive Producer of MSNBC, who, I found, was formerly an IDF intelligence commander.

With Marco Rubio becoming possibly the most powerful person in Trump's cabinet, now is the perfect time to learn about his true character.

A neoconservative, Rubio has proven to be one of the more hawkish senators in Washington, favoring wars, coups and regime change around the world.

This is particularly true in Latin America, a region he takes a special interest in.

Rubio is also one of the biggest supporters of America's global sanctions regime, claiming they uphold human rights. But, of course, on Israel, he opposes them, and is one of the Apartheid state's closest allies.
