All but one have AIPAC as their biggest donor. (And it's their second biggest donor.) Israel loves ICE. Massie is one of few congressmen in either party who refuses money from AIPAC.

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders
Matt Walsh tweeted last year: "We've spent the last 25 years bringing "freedom" and "democracy" to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I'm so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why." Then he tweeted today: ""This is a war for oil!!!!!" First of all, the "war" lasted like 90 minutes. Second, going to war to secure vital resources for your own people is totally legitimate. Why should we allow some third world communist shithole to control trillions of dollars worth of oil?" Laura Loomer tweeted last year: "I’m America First, I don’t support “Regime Change”. I went on @Bannons_WarRoom to talk about Chinese aggression in Venezuela and why we need to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign Islamic terrorist organization." Then she tweeted yesterday: "Maduro has arrived at the DEA office in Manhattan. He was transported in an armored motorcade after being transported in a blindfold via helicopter & then by plane to New York after his compound in Caracas was raided by US Special Forces. Proud to be an American today! USA 🇺🇸" Catturd tweeted last year: "Name one U.S. inspired regime change that hasn’t ended in absolute disaster." Then he tweeted yesterday: "Venezuela is now more free than New York City." Will Chamberlain tweeted last year: "The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position" Then he tweeted yesterday: "I can think of few better uses of my tax dollars than black-bagging the head of a foreign narco-trafficking organization that enriches itself by addicting and poisoning my fellow Americans"

I have purchased the PACER documents so everyone can read the impact statements submitted by victims of Do Kwon and the 2022 Terra/Luna meltdown. Collapses like these ruin lives.

www.courtlistener.com/docket/67087...
Honorable Judge Engelmayer, My name is Stanislav Trofimchuk (Stan). My life and family were pretty much ruined by Mr. Kwon’s actions back in 2022 and I would like to share my story in writing and speak at a sentencing hearing if videoconferencing means are available as I’m unable to attend personally. Below is my story: We came to the United States in 2006 from Ukraine as a young family with a ten-month-old baby, chasing the American Dream and a brighter future for our children — both the one we had and those we still hoped to have. Like most first-generation immigrants, we had to work very hard to build a life for ourselves. For seven straight years I worked multiple jobs, endless hours, no weekends, no holidays — because my wife didn’t have a work permit during all that time. I barely saw my children grow up. She carried the burden of raising our two boys almost entirely alone, with no family nearby, no help at all. After thirteen years of struggle, we finally became U.S. citizens. For the first time I could breathe. I started a small business, came home at reasonable hours, and began repairing the years I had missed with my family. Life finally felt like it was moving forward. By early 2021 the dream was within reach: a modest house in Texas, a growing business, savings carefully set aside so our sons could go to college. After everything, we were closer than ever to “making it.”. Then, in February 2022, war exploded across Ukraine. Both my wife’s elderly mother and my parents, living in the south of the country — found themselves directly on the front line. We dropped everything. We flew to Europe, pulled them out of Ukraine, and relocated the entire family — our parents, ourselves, our children — to Croatia, one of the few places that felt safe and where we could survive on far less money than in America. In Croatia none of us had work permits. My small business in US started struggling the moment I left. I was desperate for any lifeline that could keep seven p… described UST as a stablecoin that would always hold its $1 peg, and those protocols as safe, reliable way to earn 19–40% yield. It didn’t feel like gambling; it felt like the answer we had been praying for. We sold everything at discounted prices: the house, the business, the cars. We scraped together just over $190,000 — every dollar of seventeen years of sacrifice — and in late April 2022 I converted it all to UST and locked it into Anchor and Mirror, trusting the promises that had been repeated for months. Just two weeks later, on May 9, 2022, I watched UST fall off its peg. In panic, I almost sold everything to limit the damage, but then I saw Mr. Kwon’s tweet: “Deploying more capital— steady lads.”. The price started recovering that day. I trusted him again and decided to keep the UST locked. What followed were two weeks of pure terror. The Terra blockchain halted. Mirror Protocol liquidity vanished. I couldn’t withdraw a single cent. When the system finally let me out on May 23, UST was trading below $0.07. Our $190,000 had become less than $13,000. Seventeen years of our lives — gone in two weeks. People say you should never risk money you can’t afford to lose. But this never felt like risk. The founder of the project had called it “too big to fail,” boasted that the Luna Foundation Guard would protect every dollar. To a desperate father trying to feed two families in a foreign country, it sounded like the safest investment ever. The money was only the beginning of the catastrophe. Less than two weeks after the collapse, my wife packed her bags. She could no longer trust that I could keep her and her mother financially safe. A few months later the divorce papers arrived. Our teenage sons chose to stay with me and my parents, to hold what was left of the family together. College was never mentioned again. Both boys quit school and now work as car mechanics to put food on the table. Today I am [redacted]. I live in [redacted] with my elderly parents, taking wh… completely. Yet that is exactly what happened. I know there are others out there whose stories are even darker than mine. I still hope that Mr. Kwon finds the conscience, the will, and the means to make restitution — so that shattered families like ours might have a chance to rebuild. Thank you for listening. Stanislav

The anti-vaccine movement has the same talking points now as it did in the 1800’s. It’s always been a rejection of science, scientists, and progress, with a soupçon of paranoia.

Below is a slide for a talk I’m preparing that illustrates the identical strategies. I have more examples, too.
Slide with the title “The anti-vaccination movement has no new material”. Montague R. Leverson, Lawyer, Liar, Quack 1895 Robert F. Kennedy, Lawyer, Liar, Quack 2025 Accuse expert vaccine advisory committees of pro-vaccine "bias" "That commission was deliberately packed at its very outset..." "The committee has been plagued with persistent conflicts of interest and has become little more than a rubber stamp for any vaccine". Falsely state that vaccines cause death "Vaccination has caused more deaths and diseases than ever has smallpox". "This [COVID19 vaccine] is the deadliest vaccine ever made..." Claim that healthcare practitioners and scientists are only in it for the money, not because of scientific evidence "...Jenner was a mercenary charlatan whose ignorance and impatience of scientific methods were equaled only by his mendacity..." "Doctors are being paid to vaccinate, not to evaluate. They're pressured to follow the money, not the science". Use false and inflammatory words about vaccines The "Blood-poisoning process of vaccination" "They went on a search... looking for the most toxic things that they could find...to
