Excellent investigative work - follow the money! MMY, my parents guru, targeted the wealthy. Cults seduce through luring others by association. While a new concept to me, an Epstein or Russia tie to TM is not really that far fetched. #cult #transcendentalmeditation

“It looks like a normal fact-changing organization, but it’s funded and directed by organizations and people with clear Kremlin affiliations." Russian malign influence operations took center stage at Disinfo2025 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. www.niemanlab.org/2025/10/russ...

Very long story short, what we are finding is that both Trump and Epstein were products of a large scale subversion campaign designed by Vladimir Kryuchkov to topple the West, with Trump as a political front and Maxwells/Epstein tasked with allocating ~$50 billion in KGB funds.

📄 EXCLUSIVE: Jeffrey Epstein's 1988 trip to Iowa connects to a sprawling influence network around Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and Transcendental Meditation. Ray Dalio, James Comey, Sean Combs, David Lynch and others make appearances. Part 5 in our series. america2.news/part-five-ep...

Having now observed the Hegseth and Trump speeches, I'd describe their approach as "soft purge." Both made references to making things uncomfortable for those not aligned with their worldview. Creates a basis for gradual firings and resignations going forward.

ICYMI, the sex abuses are terrible and real, but this is the story that Putin and Trump absolutely don't want you to know. Part four of our series on Epstein's influence activities reveals his involvement with Russia's decades-long war on the west.

📄 EXCLUSIVE: Epstein was close with Vitaly Churkin, a Russian Ambassador with close ties to KGB head Vladimir Kryuchkov. Kryuchkov and Churkin brought Trump to Moscow in 1987, and may be the link to Robert Maxwell. New, original reporting. america2.news/part-four-ma...

It’d be great if America could get past the reflexive blame game after every shooting in this country and start focusing on the actual root causes: gun culture, gamer culture, young men getting radicalized online, and mental health. Otherwise, it’s just going to keep happening—left or right.

OMG ... the ever growing tangled web and its accompanying deceit ... Epstein, Russia, and Trump. h/t @davetroy.com #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles

What an honor to meet up with the brilliant and lovely Morgan Fairchild in Baltimore this afternoon. You may know @morgfair for her prolific acting career, but her interests run from counterterrorism and geopolitics to climate and information warfare. #bigbrains

FBI just notified me that they dropped a bunch of new stuff on Henry Kissinger — first big release since his death nearly two years ago. Warning, file under 'sleep aids' — most of it seems very dull but there may be some gems in there. Happy hunting! vault.fbi.gov/henry-kissin...

Let's make Jeremy Lewin famous.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: 28-year-old former DOGE staffer Jeremy Lewin appears to be responsible for a defunct State Department bureau's social account which is now amplifying corporate messaging for Elon Musk's X in its ongoing conflict with French prosecutors. america2.news/zombie-state...

📄 EXCLUSIVE: We mapped the entire Epstein-Musk-Trump social network. What we found may surprise you — and one person is threatened most: Donald Trump. america2.news/we-mapped-je...

President Trump said it was "highly unlikely" he would fire Jerome Powell, but also said he discussed the idea with Republican lawmakers who expressed support.

Preliminary network study I'm working on. The notion that Musk is the pure one and only Trump is dirty is highly questionable. Question Musk's claims.

📄 NEW: The debt ceiling has been a source of constant political gamesmanship. Lawmakers are (finally) looking to eliminate it as a source of chaos and uncertainty when it comes up for review again in 2027. My latest. america2.news/lawmakers-ey...

Trump’s announcement on Russia/Ukraine is not significant. 1) we’re not paying for weapons, we are selling them to NATO, 2) secondary 100% tariffs isolate the US from Russia sphere of influence, a strategic goal for Putin, 3) 50 day window provides pretext for attack escalation.

Personally I think it would be hilarious if MTG and friends call for a 9/11-style "Congressional Commission on Epstein Truth." Publish the big fat report and everything. Let's go all in, if we're doing this. Will keep them busy and from doing other real damage. 😂

“Earlier this year, America 2.0 learned from a source that neo-fascist blogger Curtis Yarvin had specifically recommended targeting Congress next. Musk's plan is aligned with that advice.” nazi musk’s #Americaparty america2.news/as-trump-fai...

Oh thank God that @davetroy.com has written about the obvious Kremlin fingerprints on Elon’s ridiculous third party gambit, so I don’t have to. Artem TOLD MUSK TO DO IT PUBLICLY ffs. This is not a legitimate endeavor.

Both Putin and Elon are dissatisfied with Trump, so the focus is going to change to Congress. And Musk is basically just a frontman for a larger group of interests. We're under attack from so many different directions. Read this for more insight.

📄 NEW: "As Trump Fails to Deliver, Russia Looks to Musk's America Party for Leverage" While Donald Trump has shown deference to the Putin regime, Moscow is turning to Musk to help close the gap on their most important policy goals. My latest. america2.news/as-trump-fai...

Omar Ward (aka "jj smith") hit with restraining order. San Francisco provocateur, promoted by "conservative figures like Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan," left a creepy note on a local journalist's van. The van's tires were also slashed that night. missionlocal.org/2025/07/jj-s...

🚨Massie now says he has 10 votes to block Trump's Big Bill; Musk and RU propaganda apparatus are lined up behind him. This means BBB WILL NOT PASS until his faction is appeased. Dems must propose a CLEAN DEBT CEILING BILL now!

Is Trump picking a fake fight with Putin to look tough? Will bombing Iran permanently fracture his MAGA coalition? @davetroy.com breaks it down! He joins my podcast, "Politics With Cheri Jacobus" www.patreon.com/c/PoliticsWi...

Libertarian/Russia GOP now likely to try to speed-run the Kubler-Ross stages of grief and come up with reasons why Trump should be allowed “this one time” exemption in order to finally “end all wars.” But it will take some serious mental gymnastics.

If you want to understand the pretzel logic of Trump’s “now is the time for peace” statement, this piece provides the historical background. america2.news/will-trumps-...

📄 NEW: If Trump decides to participate in a direct attack on Iran, he risks permanently fracturing the fragile MAGA coalition that has formed the base of his support — and it's already breaking apart. My latest. america2.news/will-trumps-...

WSJ journalist Bojan Pancevski “summed up the situation succinctly: ‘There is a non-interventionist axis atop of the US [govt] including Vance, Musk & Gabbard…Now Musk is out and Trump publicly & privately distanced himself somewhat from Gabbard.” By @davetroy.com 1/ america2.news/will-trumps-...

Very thoughtful piece by always excellent Dave Troy👇

Insightful piece..
