I do not care about this. It’s a distraction from the corrupt horror show in our government and beating trump and his acolytes this midterm. However: the tactics used here are IDENTICAL to right wing crazy people who deny what they tried to do or say. For the record: Kelly Clarkson is a good person, she doesn’t d things like this unless it’s over the line. So. I’m sorry, but I’m taking a side, she’s right.

What I’m about to write is incredibly stupid, has no social value, and is silly. I just want to make everyone aware of that. But, since the moron in Brooklyn has decided to leverage his media contacts for marketing, and change his story 11 times to get people into his store, while disparaging a genuinely good person in show business, I figured it’s time. 🧵

What happened today was a blitzkrieg on a public park. A cherished DMV space. If you are not livid about the circumstances that led up to this and what exactly the Federal government did in the past 24 hours I don’t know what to tell you.

Let’s do a quick timeline:

1. Last night, a Friday before a long weekend, at 5PM, government lawyers filed a notice that tree cutting would begin in earnest today. The stated reason was a pretext - apparently fulfilling a 2019 Cultural Landscape Review on East Potomac. This was clearly an excuse to bring the gangs in.

For months the government has stated there is no plan, nothing has been decided, going to follow the law. Ya, right.

2. At 5:30AM this morning, 3-4 dozen workers assembled at East Potomac Park. The blitzkrieg began shortly thereafter. They were given clear orders to fell as many trees as possible.

3. For hours, from 6AM until 4PM today, nothing but chainsaws. Healthy trees, old trees, all would come down. No clear estimate for the extent but at least 100 trees came down.

The devastation is apparent. Entire groves cleared. Not a single animal on the peninsula. Not a sound aside from the roar of chainsaws. Earth ripped to pieces.

Anybody that thinks it is acceptable to shred public lands to appeal to the vanity of the President of the United States needs their head examined.

We have been sounding the alarm on this for months. For months we knew this day would come. Where the President would, under dubious legal pretexts, sic his goons on a beloved public space.

This is not a local issue. This is fundamentally a question of if we the people own our public lands or the temporary resident of the White House does.

I am the British whistleblower who reported evidence concerning Howard Lutnick, his links to Jeffrey Epstein, and Cantor Fitzgerald and BGC to the FBI in 2020–21.

Listen to the BBC File on 4 documentary about my whistleblower story:

BBC News:

I later shared evidence with the House Oversight Committee, which subsequently questioned Lutnick behind closed doors.

My disclosures also contributed to regulatory action in the US and UK, including a £96m HMRC tax assessment relating to BGC’s partnership scheme. I believe the true tax exposure is substantially higher.

I also reported to the FBI and financial regulators matters involving Cantor Fitzgerald’s Relief Fund and BGC/Cantor’s annual 9/11 Charity Day.

The personal consequences of whistleblowing, and the retaliation I say followed, have been devastating for my family and me.

Mother Jones previously reported that documents I uncovered revealed a years-long business tie between Howard Lutnick, Cantor Fitzgerald and Jeffrey Epstein through AdFin, including a 2018 exchange in which Lutnick and Epstein discussed the company directly:

Follow me here on X and on LinkedIn. I intend to share more of the evidence and the story behind what happened.

Pattern recognition. Don’t lie to me. I notice everything. Changes in facial expression, tone of voice, posture, scent, text patterns.

Yall don’t wanna do a tax strike, debt strike, rent strike. Nothing.

Don’t wanna boycott airlines. Don’t wanna pirate streaming services.

Don’t wanna do anything but whine and then whine some more when nothing changes.
