When we know better, we do better

[Team Ossoff @TeamOssoff]

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.

Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.

IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.

The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.

The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.

Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.” 

Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.

The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.

This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.

Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

God bless Thomas Massie.

He walks out of this with his honor intact. He’s a patriot & kept his integrity.

As long as the voters give their votes to whoever can run the most ads we will have politicians who are purchased by foreign governments & corporate interests.

[Dr. Simon @goddek]

🇺🇸 Thomas Massie is warning the Senate not to gut the Epstein files bill and is calling for the billionaires who flew to the island to be perp-walked in handcuffs.

Today is election day in Kentucky's 4th district. A vote for Massie is a vote to expose the pedophile network. A vote for Ed Gallrein is a vote to protect the rapists, the billionaires, and the Israeli intelligence operation that ran the child sex trafficking blackmail operation.

THOMAS MASSIE: “I am sorry if one of your billionaire donors is going to get embarrassed because he went to Rape Island. That is what they have coming.”

THOMAS MASSIE: “Some of them need to go to prison, and the survivors know that.”

THOMAS MASSIE: “We will know when there are men, rich men, in handcuffs being perp-walked to the jail. And until then, this is still a cover-up.”

You cannot claim to be pro-America while voting to keep the trafficking ring buried for Israeli handlers.

Am 22. September verspricht Kasachstans Präsident dem US-Präsidenten eine Wolfram-Mine.

36 Tage später kaufen Trumps Söhne Anteile an der Firma, die sie bekommen wird.

9 Tage später wird der Deal mit 1,6 Milliarden Dollar Steuergeld offiziell.

Drei Mal innerhalb eines Jahres dasselbe Muster: Söhne kaufen ein, Vater liefert den Auftrag.

Im August 2025 steigen Donald Trump Jr. und Eric Trump bei einer kleinen New Yorker Baufirma namens Skyline Builders ein. Sie kaufen über ein Vehikel mit dem Namen American Ventures, einer Tochter von Dominari Securities. Dominari hat die Trump-Söhne Ende 2024 in seinen Beirat geholt. Sie halten dort auch einen Anteil am Mutterkonzern.

Skyline ist zu diesem Zeitpunkt eine unauffällige Holding für asiatisches Baugeschäft. Niemand schreibt darüber.

Am 22. September trifft Kasachstans Präsident Tokayev Donald Trump und sagt ihm zu: Eine US-Investmentgruppe namens Cove Kaz wird das größte unentwickelte Wolfram-Vorkommen der Welt bekommen. Cove Kaz hatte gegen chinesische und russische Bieter konkurriert. Tokayev entscheidet sich für die Amerikaner.

Diese Zusage ist informell. Kein Vertrag, kein offizieller Beschluss. Nur ein Versprechen zwischen zwei Präsidenten.

Am 21. Oktober berichtet die Presse erstmals über diese Vereinbarung.

Sieben Tage danach, am 28. Oktober, schießen die Trump-Söhne weiteres Geld in Skyline nach. Im Rahmen einer Kapitalerhöhung von knapp 24 Millionen Dollar.

Drei Tage später, am 31. Oktober, kauft Skyline für 20 Millionen Dollar einen 20-Prozent-Anteil an einer Firma mit, Zitat aus dem Filing, "bedeutenden Beständen an kritischen Mineralien in Asien". Diese Firma ist Kaz Resources, die Tochter von Cove Capital, die das Wolfram-Projekt entwickeln wird.

Am 6. November verkünden Cove Kaz und Kasachstan den Deal offiziell. 70 Prozent der Mine gehören Cove. 30 Prozent dem kasachischen Staat. Geplante Investitionssumme: 1,1 Milliarden Dollar.

Die US-Regierung steigt mit ein. Die staatliche US-Exportbank gibt eine Zusage über bis zu 900 Millionen Dollar Projektfinanzierung. Die staatliche US-Entwicklungsbank ergänzt das mit bis zu 700 Millionen Dollar. Macht zusammen bis zu 1,6 Milliarden Dollar Steuergeld.

Am 30. April 2026 fusionieren Skyline und Cove Kaz. Das fusionierte Unternehmen geht an die Nasdaq. Geplanter Ticker: KAZR.

Auf keiner einzigen Pressemitteilung tauchen die Namen der Trump-Söhne auf.

Warum Wolfram?

Wolfram ist das Metall mit dem höchsten Schmelzpunkt der Welt. Es steckt in panzerbrechender Munition. In kinetischen Abfangkörpern für Raketenabwehr. In Hyperschallwaffen. In jedem Halbleiter. In F-35-Triebwerken. Christopher Ecclestone, Bergbau-Stratege bei Hallgarten in London, sagt: Das Pentagon will Wolfram um jeden Preis.

China kontrolliert über 80 Prozent der weltweiten Wolfram-Produktion. Im Februar 2025 verhängt Peking Exportbeschränkungen. Die Preise für Ammoniumparawolframat, der internationale Benchmark für Wolfram, springen seitdem um über 40 Prozent.

Die USA haben 2015 die letzte eigene Wolfram-Mine geschlossen. Wer eine neue, verlässliche Quelle anzapfen kann, sitzt auf einer goldenen Ader.

Genau diese Ader bekommen die Söhne des US-Präsidenten. Mitfinanziert mit Steuergeld.

Der Geschäftsführer von Cove Capital, Pini Althaus, sagt der Financial Times wörtlich: Cove habe "direkte Unterstützung von Präsident Trump, Außenminister Marco Rubio und Handelsminister Howard Lutnick" erhalten, um die Mine zu sichern.

Lutnick selbst hat einen persönlichen Brief an den kasachischen Präsidenten geschickt, um den Deal zu unterstützen. Das geht aus einer Investorenpräsentation hervor, die Skyline bei der US-Börsenaufsicht eingereicht hat.

Pini Althaus hat übrigens vor Cove eine andere Mineralienfirma gegründet: USA Rare Earths. Auch sie hat Mitte 2025 über 1,5 Milliarden Dollar an konditionaler US-Staatsförderung erhalten.

Das ist der Hintergrund. Jetzt zum Muster.

Im August 2025 steigt eine Risikokapitalfirma namens 1789 Capital bei einem Startup namens Vulcan Elements ein. Donald Trump Jr. ist dort Partner. Vulcan stellt Magnete aus Seltenen Erden her.

Drei Monate später, im Dezember 2025, bekommt Vulcan einen Pentagon-Kredit über 620 Millionen Dollar. Plus 50 Millionen Dollar als Eigenkapitalbeteiligung der US-Regierung. Es ist der größte Kredit, den das zuständige Pentagon-Büro für strategisches Kapital je vergeben hat. Trumps Executive Order 14241 hatte zuvor die Pflicht zur unabhängigen technischen Prüfung solcher Vergaben aufgehoben.

Im März 2026 steigen die Trump-Söhne bei einem Drohnenhersteller namens Powerus ein. Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg, ehemaliger Sicherheitsberater des Vizepräsidenten, sitzt im Beirat. Wenige Wochen später startet die US-Regierung ein Drohnenprogramm mit einem Budget von 1,1 Milliarden Dollar. Powerus will Aufträge daraus ziehen. Der geplante Börsenticker der Firma: PUSA.

Jetzt Cove Kaz. KAZR. 1,6 Milliarden Dollar Steuergeld.

Drei Fälle. Zwölf Monate. Dasselbe Muster.

Das Wall Street Journal hat die Trump-Familien-Geschäfte seit der Wiederwahl auf insgesamt mindestens vier Milliarden Dollar Erlöse und Papiervermögen geschätzt. Krypto, Drohnen, Seltene Erden, Wolfram, Bitcoin Mining, Prediction Markets. Eric Trump hat in einem Interview gesagt, sie hätten in der ersten Amtszeit "keinen Dank für ihre Zurückhaltung bekommen". Diesmal halten sie sich nicht zurück.

Im März 2026 versuchen Demokraten im Kongress, Donald Trump Jr. per gerichtlicher Vorladung zu zwingen, unter Eid zum Vulcan-Deal auszusagen. Republikaner blockieren die Abstimmung im Ausschuss.

Die rechtliche Bewertung dessen wird Jahre dauern. Zwei Dinge stehen aber jetzt schon fest.

Erstens: Wer in den USA steuerpflichtig ist, finanziert über Mehrheitsstrukturen einen Bergbau-Deal in Kasachstan, an dem die Söhne des Präsidenten beteiligt sind. Ohne dass diese Beteiligung in den offiziellen Pressemitteilungen erwähnt wird.

Zweitens: Wenn dasselbe Muster in einem Jahr drei Mal auftritt, ist es kein Zufall. Es ist eine Methode.

A Perry Mason moment here between AOC and Lee Zeldin.

After Lee Zeldin denies meeting with Bayer to discuss litigation the company was facing, AOC presents visitor logs and emails from Zeldin’s senior advisor stating that Zeldin would be meeting with the Bayer CEO to discuss “legal/judicial issues.”

“In this internal email, it says that Bayer was specifically seeking and discussing Supreme Court action, it would want an update on EPA’s regulatory review, and that, interestingly, Bayer will provide a small thanks for updating the glyphosate webpage from the EPA and work on MAHA.”

[Noah B. Price @TrueOnX]

Bayer is a pharmaceutical company. Monsanto is a pesticide company. Bayer bought Monsanto.

Bayer makes drugs for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Monsanto makes a toxic herbicide called glyphosate that they spray on food.

Glyphosate... causes non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Now we've come full circle.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Bayer is a German chemical company. They make Roundup. Roundup gives people non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Bayer has paid over $11 billion in cancer lawsuits.

This week, Congress is going to vote on a bill that gives Bayer permanent immunity from being sued by Americans who get cancer from their product.

Here is how it happened. 🧵

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Thomas Massie at the Supreme Court this morning:

“The White House Chief of Staff worked for a lobbying firm that accepted money from Monsanto/Bayer. And that is wrong.”

This is the same Bayer that spent $9 million lobbying Congress to eliminate liability for Roundup cancer victims.

The same Susie Wiles. The same Pam Bondi.

Massie has been saying this for months.

Nobody in Washington wants to hear it.

BREAKING: A top Trump counter-terrorism official has just been discovered on a “sugar baby” dating site looking for rich men to pay for her lifestyle!

Yes, you read that right. Department of Homeland Security deputy assistant secretary for counterterrorism Julia Varvaro, 29, has been discovered maintaining a profile on https://t.co/JkLPTGDRFM, a website where young attractive women find older men willing to work out…arrangements with them to fund their lifestyles.

The Daily Beast reports that “the profile, which was under the name ‘Alessia,’ said its owner worked for a government agency and offered 'seductive sophistication.’ It used the same photo as Varvaro’s Instagram account and described Alessia as “flirty, fun, and fond of sultry spaces,” as well as ‘drawn to a masculine man who’s attentive, protective, and quietly playful for mutually beneficial experiences.’

The account was exposed by, who else, her disgruntled ex-boyfriend. According to him, they broke up after he refused to spend any more on her after dropping $40,000 on trips to Aruba and Italy. He then snitched to DHS.

He also said that she recreationally used marijuana (who cares) and Xanax (yikes!)

While we don’t judge what people do in their private lives, one would think that having a senior counter-terrorism official advertise herself on a pay-for-play dating website would be a BIT of a security risk.

But that’s just the kind of people that Trump puts into top-level positions. The entire government is for sale, it appears, including some of the officials themselves.

She needs to resign IMMEDIATELY.

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more.

Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged.

Here's what happened:

Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it."

And the exact emails are now PUBLIC.

Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem.

The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately."

Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call.

Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price.

Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed.

Same playbook with Hanes:

Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased."

Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins.

But it gets even worse...

Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site.

Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing.

They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS.

The mechanism is simple but terrifying:

If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers.

Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings."

Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products.

Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform.

So turns out, you were never comparison shopping.

You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors.

"Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable."

3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on.

This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat.

And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE.

"Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

Let’s keep this in the spotlight every day

Woman who went viral wearing a Trump hat with wedding dress was indicted on 19 child sex crimes. The GOP, ‘Gang of Pedophiles’ is filled with perverts and pedophiles.
