Ok so this provotwatsiya from @RandPaul is rather telling. Wanna know why? Bec the people of Venezuela have been robbed by a vast global corruption scheme aka #TransnationalOrganizedCrime-which connects to Rand’s Russian bosses. Let’s take a look at some of the fuckery, shall we?
It’s also amusing that @EdRogersDC retweeted it, given where his money comes from (HINT: Ed reps a whole bunch of other countries that steal from their people-like Azerbaijan!)
So Venezuela has a giant issue with their state-owned oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela SA, aka PDVSA.
It is alleged that $11bn has “gone missing” from PDVSA. reuters.com/article/us-ven…
The theft of STATE ASSETS (aka the Venezuelan people’s money) connects to vast Malaysian corruption scandal 1MDB, which features Goldman Sachs, Russian money laundering, UAE and Saudi money laundering, art, diamonds, yachts, Leo DiCaprio (seriously), etc. sarawakreport.org/2017/01/petros…
Venezuela isn’t really socialist. It’s a kleptocracy. The US has placed sanctions on Venezuela because of the state-sanctioned corruption and fake free elections. The Venezuelan people are suffering because their assets are being stolen by corrupt leaders.
Some real shitbirds have lobbied to get sanctions lifted. mic.com/articles/17293…
I *think* what Rand Paul is doing with this tweet is trying to distract from the corruption-which is the reason for the human suffering in Venezuela-by essentially red-baiting. He’s blaming socialism so he can horseshoe the human suffering-while distracting from the KLEPTOCRACY.
Another interesting piece is the PDVSA-Citgo-Rosneft relationship. Because Rosneft of course features in TrumpRussia. reuters.com/article/us-ven…
The US DoJ has been prosecuting corrupt participants in both PDVSA corruption and 1MDB corruption (and we know they are connected). The scope of the Kleptocracy is astounding. $11 BILLION missing from PDVSA. $4.5 BILLION missing from Malaysia’s 1MDB.
This is a story about the privileged few stealing from the many.

If you want more on 1MDB, and how it connects to 🚩TrumpRussia and the Global Corruption Scandal 🚩, look here: twitter.com/search?q=1MDB%…
And if you want more on PDVSA, and how it connects to 🚩TrumpRussia and the Global Corruption Scandal 🚩, look here: twitter.com/search?q=PDVSA…
Now does the US Government's Kleptocracy Initiative make sense?
It was launched in 2010.
And in 2011, @BarackObama declared Transnational Organized Crime a National Emergency.

here's how I imagine the strategy meeting went:
PR1: "SHIT THE ALFA SERVER STORY IS OUT WE GOTTA DISTRACT DISTRACT DISTRACT!"
PR2: "LET'S THROW SOME ALL BLACK PEOPLE LOOK THE SAME CHUM INTO THE WATERS OF THE LEFT SO THEY DON'T FOCUS ON THE RUSSIAN MOB INFILTRATION OF OUR GOV'T!"
Buh Lou what are you taaallking about?
The Hill lets people who are REGISTERED (and unregistered) FOREIGN AGENTS PUBLISH PROPAGANDA IN THEIR OUTLET. Do you think they have any ethical standards? That'd be a big fat NO.
PS. google "the hill" + "Wilbur Ross"

Sovereign Society fed clients to Panama Papers law firm
#GoodJournalism by @mcclatchyDC's @KevinGHall from June 2016.
I'm gonna add some background info on Robert Bauman of the Sovereign Society, because it's important. mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-wo…
Bauman is an advocate for offshoring money to avoid taxes.
SO WE ARE CLEAR:
Tax avoidance is why our infrastructure is crumbling. Tax avoidance is a form of greed. Tax avoidance is unpatriotic. Tax avoidance is what's gonna get alllllllll the bad guys. #FATCAgonnagetcha
Bauman's wife Carol Dawson (their marriage was annulled in 1983), and he were deeply involved with Young Americans for Freedom, aka YAF, and the American Conservatives Union, aka ACU.

Brett Kavanaugh 2015 financial disclosure report contains the following:
"Trip to Arizona Cardinals-Detroit Lions football game in Detroit with group of friends from Georgetown Prep high school class of 1983, hosted by high school classmate Michael Bidwilll, President of...
...Arizona Cardinals. October 10-11, 2015. Paid $500 to reimburse for flights and game ticket."
The game was at 4:05PM on October 11th. Ended 7:20PM.
No mention of where Kavanaugh stayed, who paid for his stay, or if he stayed with a friend. No mention of who paid for food/BEER.
Given @gregolear @LincolnsBible @SpicyFiles and my financial analysis of Kavanaugh's family finances, he didn't have a spare $500 laying around in 2015.
