MMTLP #FAFO#Veterans#1stAmendment
🔥 THREAD: New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) Takes the SEC’s Gag Rule to the Supreme Court, and YES, it connects to MMTLP. @annvandersteel@TheRobbCarter@cvpayne
🚨BREAKING: NCLA just filed a petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review the SEC’s unconstitutional Gag Rule. A rule that forces people to give up their First Amendment rights for life if they settle with the agency. This is a massive moment.
Why does this matter?
Because the SEC’s Gag Rule is designed to do one thing:
👉 Silence the people who know the truth about SEC actions. Forever.
And if you’re in the MMTLP community, this should hit hard. You’ve lived the consequences of a system where the SEC can act in the dark, hide records, and avoid accountability while the public is left with redactions, denials, and silence.
MMTLP exposed a simple reality:
· When regulators can operate without transparency, investors pay the price.
· When regulators can silence people, the truth never reaches the public.
· The Gag Rule is the architecture that protects that system.
In MMTLP, we’ve seen:
• FOIA blackouts
• Withheld factual records
• A U3 halt with no explanation
• 14 months of trading on a placeholder
• Zero transparency from the agencies involved
Now imagine adding a lifetime gag order on top of that.
That’s exactly what the SEC does in settlements:
“Sign this agreement, and you can never publicly dispute our allegations even if we were wrong.” That’s not regulation. That’s censorship.
NCLA is right:
The SEC should not have the power to silence Americans for life. And MMTLP proves why. When the public can’t hear from the people closest to the facts, the narrative belongs entirely to the agency no matter how incomplete or inaccurate.
If the Supreme Court strikes down the Gag Rule, it won’t just be a First Amendment victory. It will crack open the wall of secrecy that has shielded the SEC for decades the same secrecy that has fueled the MMTLP transparency crisis.
Sunlight is coming.
Accountability is coming.
And the era of regulators operating without scrutiny needs to end.
MMTLP is the case study.
The Gag Rule is the mechanism.
The Supreme Court is now the venue.
The fight for transparency is bigger than one ticker. It’s about restoring the public’s right to speak, to know, and to challenge government power. And that fight just moved to the highest court in the country.
More to come! MMTLP remember, FOCUS.

Office of Information Policy | Department of Justice Guide to the Freedom of Information Act: Time Limits Pg. 38; suggests notifying (OGIS) for extended delay of our #MMTLP FOIA requests. I know, file more complaints... But at minimum you will have it on record.
Despite your claims, you have achieved nothing. Perhaps @politico should speak with the #MMTLPARMY; we can explain how you pressured @JamesComer to kill the investigation into the MMTLP financial scandal. You represent exactly what is wrong with politics: prioritizing personal interests over the needs of your constituents.
🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable
We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.
@JamesOKeefeIII an excellent time for you to look again at $MMTLP which is gaining momentum and about to change the way financial markets operate.
Would be great for you to also reach out to @annvandersteel who is making tremendous progress in increasing the awareness of how the the so called protectors of retail investors, are actually colluding to protect Broker Dealers, Hedge Funds and Short Sellers.
##MMTLP@MikeCrapo Here is your proof that there was collusion. Now fire your lazy ass staffers and do you job with oversight of this and serve your damn constituents.
#FOIA#MMTLP Executive Summary:
By October 2023, @SECGov Trading & Markets team had written documentation from the FIF team (the broker-dealer lobby group) that:
- There were still shares on loan due to the FINRA halt, - Lending broker-dealers could not recover them, and - The Next Bridge S-1, if approved as filed, would lock that in.
They did not disclose this to the affected investors or the issuers. They worked it through with the industry in PRIVATE BEHIND CLOSED DOORS...
Lets break it down in detail....shall we? Pages 4, 3, 2, 1:
Full access to the FOIA Doc [dropbox link]: https://t.co/13wY9ps47J
1. What the FOIA document actually is an email chain between:
- Howard Meyerson, Managing Director, Financial Information Forum (FIF) – FIF is an industry association representing broker-dealers, exchanges, and tech vendors and senior staff in the SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets (TM):
- David Saltiel
- John F. Prochilo (Advisor to the Director)
- Erik Gerding and Sai Rao are also in the loop on earlier emails
The entire conversation is about Next Bridge Hydrocarbons’ Form S-1 (the MMTLP spinout) and the “process proposed by Next Bridge” for distributing shares and paper certificates.
So, despite the usual “we can’t talk about a specific issuer” line, Trading & Markets is ENGAGING in substantive back-and-forth with an industry lobby group specifically about Next Bridge’s S-1 and its operational implications.
2. The timeline and key events
a) FIF initiates contact (September 19, 2023)
Meyerson writes to senior SEC staff (Gerding, Saltiel, Rao):
Introduces FIF as an association for broker-dealers, exchanges, tech vendors
Says FIF members have concerns about the Next Bridge S-1
Requests a call so FIF members can “communicate certain operational concerns about the process that Next Bridge is proposing”
Crucially, this is industry asking for access to the SEC about a live filing.
b) SEC response – “We can’t talk about the issuer, but yes, let’s talk” (September 23, 2023)
Saltiel replies:
Apologises for delay...
Says TM would be “happy to hear from FIF and your members about operational issues associated with certain types of corporate actions”
Adds they are “unable to comment on any specific issuer’s disclosures” and want the focus on “operational issues rather than the disclosure per se”
Asks for more detail on the concerns and suggested times for a meeting
Translation:
“We’ll have the meeting you want about Next Bridge, but we’ll frame it as ‘general operational issues’ for optics”
Side questions... what is the definition of RICO??
c) Scheduling the meeting (October 2–4, 2023)
Meyerson proposes dates for a call and says they will send an OUTLINE OF THE POINTS FIF members want to raise before the call.
On October 4, 2023, he sends that outline. This is the core of the FOIA.
Hi @AGTennessee@RepOgles & @MarshaBlackburn. Do you need anymore proof of oversold counterfeit shares and @SECGov@FINRA Regulators / Major Broker $MMTLP collusion & rico? I will be again reaching out to your offices tomorrow. This needs a resolution and reconcilation and people held accountable.
Pg 4 - THE PROBLEM
FIF members attempt to influence the SEC's review of the pending registration of Next Bridge Hydrocarbons. They state plainly "Because of the prior FINRA trading halt, there are shares on loan that lending broker dealers cannot recover." This directly conflicts with FINRA and SEC language that no damages exist because all MMTLP shareholders received shares of Next Bridge.
$MMTLP Financial Information Forum (FIF) and Securities and Exchange Commission FOIA.
Pg 1 - Howard Meyerson, FIF Managing Director, emails Erik Gerding, SEC Director of Division of Corporate Finance, David Saltiel, SEC Director of Trading & Markets, and Sai Rao, General Counsel for Division of Trading & Markets.
Charles, I just got off a 3 hour zoom with 4 #MMTLP members. What I just learned is EXPLOSIVE. The smoking gun exists and I saw it with my own eyes and it exposes the level of corruption and illegality that exists in agencies.
We have a big problem. And it’s a threat to our national security.
Ann,
your fearless deep dive into the #MMTLP situation today is exactly the kind of truth-seeking journalism we need, exposing the ties to short sellers like Anson Fund, regulatory failures by FINRA and the OTC (at minimum), and the systemic protection of market insiders at the expense of retail investors and the issuers @Metamaterialtec@nbhydrocarbons
Lots of people have been fighting this for over three years, and your spotlight is a game-changer.
If there's any way this community can assist your research, digging up additional info, sources, or connections, just say the word.
Everyone is ready to help amplify the truth and push for real accountability.
Keep shining that 1,000,000 candlepower light! #AlterOrAbolish
You can't really argue with this dude...
Narratives vs. Reality
-Trump hates immigrants - married to an immigrant
-Trump hates women - first ever woman Chief of Staff
-Trump will start WW3 - Stopped 8 wars in 9 months
-Trump is a dictator - People are free to protest him 24/7
-"Democracy" is at risk - Trump won electoral AND popular vote AND all swing states which sounds pretty democratic to me...
Anyone else smell the BS coming from the left?
