🚨 THREAD: The Muslim Students Association (MSA) and its roots in Muslim Brotherhood 🚨
One of the most mainstream Muslim organizations on North American campuses—hundreds of chapters, tens of thousands of alumni (including Huma Abedin).
But few realize:
· It was founded in 1963 with guidance from Muslim Brotherhood and Jamaat-e-Islami activists.
· Early funding flowed from the Muslim World League and other Gulf patrons.
· Its leaders helped build ISNA and NAIT.
· And Brotherhood influence still echoes in MSA's DNA.
In this thread, I'll trace:
1️⃣ Who the founders were
2️⃣ How MB ideology shaped MSA's mission
3️⃣ Where the money came from
4️⃣ How the ideology evolved in America
5️⃣.How their alumni influence both the Republican and Democratic parties
As always, patience as I pull together the thread live.

I will wrap up here. Muslim Student Association might not own political parties like CAIR does -- but they were nonetheless founded to become the Muslim Brotherhood incubator in the USA.
Reddit threads have described Muslim Student Association as being very aggressive in recruiting and ultra-conservative.
Given the refugees that have already been admitted here - the government would do well to keep an eye on their radicalism.

Although MSA is not CAIR, it is still nonetheless very active in shaping the next generation.
Today, approximately 58% of Muslims are immigrants. Recent refugees have been flown in from Iraq, Syria, Sudan, and Somalia, with the majority being under 25 years old.

The Clinton Foundation did not need Muslim Brotherhood to finance them. They already had Muslim countries donating to them directly.
10-25 million from Saudi Arabia plus an individual 5-10 from billionaire Sheikh Mohammed H. Al-Amoudi (later arrested by Crown Prince MbS); 5-10 million from Kuwait; 1 million from Qatar, and more.
Bonus: Gehad el-Haddad, who was arrested as Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood spokesman, also worked in the Clinton Foundation.

Hello Governor Newsom,
In 2010, California voters passed Prop 20 by a landslide (62–38) to take redistricting out of politicians’ hands and enshrine an independent citizens' commission in their state constitution. That was the will of the people.
Now you've launched a $100 million campaign--backed by Planned Parenthood, SEIU, and billionaire donors--to tear that down.
And here's the part that gives the whole game away: at the bottom of your site, the official footer declares it is backed by the Democratic House Majority PAC, alongside Bill Bloomfield.
Then, in one of the most brazen moves I’ve ever seen, you brand this effort "Democracy’s Best Bet."
Let me translate that. "Democracy" isn't the people of California deciding their system by referendum. It isn't respecting a constitutional amendment passed by millions of voters. "Democracy" here means whatever preserves Democratic control of Congress. It means Washington party bosses get to decide Californians' interests.

Hello Mr. Wren,
I know you're only the messenger, but this "blacklist" is revealing in ways that cut deeper than the leak itself.
This memo proves that the whole DEI push that we all experienced in the last decade or two was never about uplifting marginalized voices. It was about using minorities as political shock troops, a textbook revolutionary tactic. Recruit from the margins, weaponize their grievance, then discard them the moment they're inconvenient.
Words like patriarchy (feminists), deadnaming (transgendered), LGBTQIA+ are being memory-holed because these groups aren’t politically useful anymore. That's exactly what’s happening in this memo.
People wonder why I'm a "traitor," why I'm a Republican. Long ago, I saw the contradiction: endless lip service, zero follow-through. The Democratic party has always been this way as long as I've lived; power first, principles never.
And please answer me, why was @playbookdc, with its deep overlap with the "pro-democracy" NGO crowd, the first place this blacklist landed? Is Playbook just stenography for the party, or something closer to a front for the intelligence community? Either way, does the Democratic Party have any original thoughts left, or is it all just noscripted management of language from above?

In a Project for the New American Century letter, he was a signatory which urged intervention in Iraq without a clear end goal (like democracy).
This defines his foreign policy: yes, he was for intervention. No, he wasn't for actual democracy building.

Bolton's tenure was defined by constant clashes, and his grievance is obvious: he didn't get to unleash the wars he wanted. He retaliated by spilling classified national security secrets for profit.
Few officials in modern times have pushed harder for more death abroad; Bolton may go down as one of the deadliest men never to have his finger on the trigger.
We will all be safer for it when he is in jail. And ironically, that's exactly what Bolton would have advocated.
Thread end.

In the book, one of the most infamous parts Bolton wrote was about President Donald Trump's campaign to pressure Ukraine on Hunter Biden, calling it a "drug deal." Allegedly, Trump wanted Zelensky to investigate Hunter Biden's dealings and made US assistance contingent on that. This became the basis of Trump's first impeachment.

🚨💣 THREAD: John Bolton: The Man Who Never Saw a War He Didn’t Like 💣🚨
John Bolton got his start as Reagan's assistant administrator of USAID -- a time when USAID was dramatically re-transformed from Nixon-era "New Directions" third-world assistance to being contingent on "Democracy & Governance" Cold War goals.
This thread unpacks:
1️⃣ His obsession with staying in wars forever
2️⃣ How his NGO & think-tank gigs kept him flush with hawkish donors
3️⃣ His time in the Trump administration and why his home got searched
As always, patience as I pull this together. 🧵

Watch today's media reactions to John Bolton's search for mask slips.
Already some of the talking points are disturbing. Political Wire writes -- "[E]veryone on the side of liberalism and the rule of law ought to take Bolton’s side today. Solidarity."
Think about that. John Bolton, the man who never met a war he didn't want and who spurned the UN is now the poster child of "liberalism."
What this proves is that "liberalism" has nothing to do with liberty. It means protecting the global elite. Defend Bolton, defend the system. They are equating "liberalism" to defending its own enforcers.
