Top MAGA Influencers Accidentally Unmasked as Foreign Trolls​

Elon Musk’s social media site X has rolled out a new feature in an effort to increase transparency—and unwittingly revealed that many of the site’s top MAGA influencers are actually foreign actors.

The new “About This Account” feature, which became available to X users on Friday, allows others to see where an account is based, when they joined the platform, how often they have changed their username, and how they downloaded the X app.

Upon rollout, rival factions began to inspect just where their online adversaries were really based on the combative social platform—with dozens of major MAGA and right-wing influencer accounts revealed to be originating from overseas.

“This is easily one of the greatest days on this platform,” wrote Democratic influencer Harry Sisson.

“Seeing all of these MAGA accounts get exposed as foreign actors trying to destroy the United States is a complete vindication of Democrats, like myself and many on here, who have been warning about this”.

Not surprised at all about a lot of the MAGA accounts being from Eastern Europe. Probably set up by the Russkies.

Always take anything on line fwiw and dyodd.

This message appears to be a classic scam circulating on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), designed to exploit conspiracy theorists and those interested in fringe financial theories. It falsely claims that the "Quantum Financial System" (QFS)—a supposed revolutionary, quantum-computing-based global banking network that will replace corrupt fiat systems (often tied to debunked ideas like NESARA/GESARA)—has launched, and that you must urgently "register" your identity within 24 hours to access "verified funds" or risk losing everything.

FYI the emblem in the red circle indicates the account uses a VPN. That means it could be from anywhere in the world, not necessarily your demons in Russia.

In fact, most of these accounts are from outside the US and could be from Nigeria, China, Russia, Mexico et al....

Democrats just told our military not to follow “unconstitutional orders” — while admitting none exist. WHY IS THIS A BIG DEAL? They knew and know, that the message wasn’t for our soldiers … it was for the Global leadership.

If a video like this were aimed at Putin’s military, we’d assume Russia was unstable or nearing a coup.

They didn’t give good advice, nor weaken Trump. They weakened America — signaling doubt to allies and opportunity to enemies. They are tilling the soil color revolution. Reckless beyond words. Not treason but a very serious crime under 18 U.S.C. § 2387. A law written for this exact kind of action. Punishment is 10 years in prison. Those on either side, who engage in this MUST pay a price or it will only get worse.

WHITE HOUSE BACKS DOD PROBE INTO SEN. MARK KELLY: ACCUSED OF “INTIMIDATING THE MILITARY”

The Trump administration is throwing its support behind the Department of Defense’s investigation into Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, following explosive allegations that he attempted to intimidate active-duty U.S. service members.

@PressSec
:

"The White House is supportive of the Department of War’'s investigation into Senator Mark Kelly.

I think what Senator Mark Kelly was actually trying to do was intimidate the 1.3M active duty service members who are currently serving in our U.S. Armed Forces.

Sen. Mark Kelly well knows the rules of the military and the respect that one must have for the chain of command.

All lawful orders are presumed to be legal by our service members, you can't have a functioning military if there's disorder and chaos within the ranks, and that's what these Democrat members were encouraging.

Not a single democrat… can point to a single illegal order that this administration has given down, because it does not exist."

Lara Logan interviews Former CIA operations officer Gary Berntsen who explains how elections are being stolen in America

🚨 He describes there are teams of statisticians, mathematicians, and hackers who map out every county and identify where margins can be quietly adjusted

Different techniques are used in each location so nothing matches in a recount. When a 70-30 county becomes 68-32, nobody notices. But when you add up these differences across an entire state, those tiny amounts of fraud decide outcomes

Both former CIA operations officer Gary Berntsen and author Ralph Pezzullo explain the strategy. They explain they don't flip the big blue cities. Instead they shave votes in the places no one ever audits

“They know where they can find the dead people... Mm-hmm.”

“They plan this, It's meticulous. It's meticulous. These guys are experts at this. It's not just a few guys in a back room. You're talking about hundreds of statisticians and engineers, and they work it, you know, for a year to plan and mathematicians and hackers.”

“We had a map out of Colorado when we were talking to our engineers, the guys that designed it, that stole the elections.

— We just go to every one place where Trump wins 70-30 and — Shaved it off.

We shave in every other place. We don't go near a Democratic place, because when they wanna do recounts, they're gonna go to the Democratic places. They don't realize we shaved in every other committee. We know every other county.

We know how to do this. And then in each of those things where they shave, they shave with a different technique in each one of those. So if you found something in, in one county, there's no continuity around the state that way.

So this is why the Republicans are so much at fault, because they have the power and the ability to show in their areas they can allow access to the machines, they can allow access to the source code”

People need to go to prison. Democrats are stealing elections nationwide in every county, in every state of America

It's all a show. A sick reality show but just a show. I think the correct phrase most of us use is nothing will happen or something like that. In the end we are correct. Nothing will happen. These people are untouchable. Sure trump put incompetent women in charge of important tasks to make it look like something will be done. But like a TV show, the women are nice to look at but always fall short of the goal of making something important happen. Ever notice the left is able to shop judges that will give them a favorable outcome? Somehow that concept has been lost on the red team.

Of course we are all hopeful that I am wrong and this time really is different and we will finally get some justice. Almost a year into his 2nd term and those hopes are fading fast.

And that's why I have said, we aren't going to vote our way out of this mess.

Thats definitely 1 reason. Another is that Trump seems to be in the habit of putting incompetent people in positions of power. Why Bondi is still in her position is beyond me. Part of the problem is that the government is just far too large now and the presidents job is way mare than it should have ever been because of the creation of so many positions and agencies.

DOGE is now finished. Ended 8 months early. Another program that grabbed major attention in the beginning to show the mega crowd he was serious. Now it fades into the sunset with without really getting much done. Lots of things were exposed by what was actually done with it? Nothing since no-one is in jail.
 


According to De Becker, the 1975 Kissinger Report made population reduction — not “control” — official U.S. foreign policy in 12 targeted nations.

He says it pushed medicalised birth control, covert fertility-regulating injections, and even paid sterilisation programmes.

He points out that:

• The WHO spent the 1970s developing tetanus/HCG fertility-regulating vaccines
• Forced sterilisation campaigns were carried out in India and Peru
• “Wellness injections” were allegedly used to reduce pregnancy
• And the Kissinger framework openly tied population reduction to access to foreign natural resources

Then he draws a modern parallel:

• The Kissinger Report mentions injections that temporarily reduce male fertility
• Fauci admitted the COVID vaccine reduces male sperm count for 3 months
• And people were told to take it every 3 months

De Becker warns:

The same ideology that drove 1970s population-reduction policy has now merged with global health power — Gates, WHO, and the new vaccine infrastructure.

He calls it “dark as hell” — and insists almost nobody realises it’s written in official documents.

Post in thread 'DOGE - USAID et al'









based on recent reports, it’s true that DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) has been integrated into many federal agencies through embedded teams, staff, or operational units—often described as “DOGE offices” or equivalents—that continue its mission of efficiency, waste reduction, and oversight. This decentralization followed the quiet disbandment of DOGE as a standalone entity around November 2025, ahead of its original July 2026 expiration. While sources vary on the exact scope (e.g., “all” vs...

How deep does foreign infiltration really go?

Former CIA operations officer Gary Berntsen reveals one of the most stunning espionage cases in modern American history.

He and his business partner are the ones who turned in Ambassador Manuel Rocha, one of the most senior US diplomats ever convicted of spying. Berntsen knew him for 20 years. But when he discovered Rocha’s secret contacts with cartel figures, he went to the FBI and refused to back down until they took action.

Agents posed as Cuban intelligence officers. In six hours of recorded meetings, Rocha confessed. He admitted he hated the United States. He admitted he had been spying for the Cuban regime. He admitted he had spent 40 years inside the belly of the US government, rising through embassies and even SOUTHCOM, passing political intelligence to Havana the entire time.

He is now in prison. And according to Berntsen, he is not the only one.

🚨 JIM CAVIEZEL JUST DROPPED A NUCLEAR TRUTH BOMB

Actor Jim Caviezel has again said the quiet part out loud — and this time he laid out the darkest allegations yet:

According to Caviezel:

• Adrenochrome is a real chemical compound — listed under NIH
• He claims it is “10x more potent than heroin” and used by elites
• He says the demand is so organised that it cannot exist without intelligence-agency involvement
• He alleges there are multiple Epstein-style islands, not just one
• And that some networks tied to trafficking, organ harvesting, and cartel violence are far bigger than the public has been told

He didn’t stop there.

Caviezel pointed to:
Mexico’s 110,000 missing people
Cartels with military-grade weapons

Bio-labs receiving high-value “materials”
Intelligence agencies looking the other way
High-level protection for traffickers who should be in prison

And then the bombshell:

“Epstein Island isn’t the only sex island out there.”

For years the media laughed this stuff off as conspiracy.

Then Epstein was arrested.
Then the flight logs came out.
Then the VIPs scrambled for cover.

Caviezel is calling out what many already suspect:
There is a global network.

It crosses borders.
It overlaps with intelligence, cartels, NGOs, and political elites.

And the cover-up is deeper than anyone imagined.

This is not about Hollywood.
This is not about one island.

This is about an entire system rotten to the core — and terrified of being exposed.

The truth ALWAYS leaks.
And the dam is cracking.

Brace yourself.

End the Fed?? It's been discussed before.




🇺🇸 OPINION: TRUMP'S ABOUT TO PULL OFF THE MOST AUDACIOUS FED HACK IN AMERICAN HISTORY

Trump does not want another constitutional battle. As much as he would love to fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell for not hastily cutting rates at a pace of the administration’s liking, he has another plan. As soon as January, “he will render the current Chair’s role to complete impotence,” according to a source who used to work at the Fed.

In the next few weeks, President Trump will conclude interviews to select the next Federal Reserve chair, announce the appointment, and impose a once-in-history “shadow” mechanism to counter every point the current Chair makes. As markets are forward-looking, the “shadow chair” will have the ability to affect even the closest maturities of the yield curve, and long-term rates will likely plummet way before the current Chair’s term ends.

“The markets are not ready for what will be unleashed; the President practically spelled it out just yesterday by declaring, with authority, that rates will be dramatically lower within 6 months,” claimed the same source. This will likely start to get discounted by markets as soon as January.

Forget everything you think you know about how the Federal Reserve works. Actually, scratch that. You probably don't know much about the Fed anyway, and that's fine. Neither does most of Congress.

Here's what you need to know: America is drowning in debt. Not the $38 trillion everyone keeps yapping about. We're talking $130 trillion when you add up corporate debt, consumer debt, and all those pension promises we definitely can't keep. Globally? Try $600 trillion of global debt and unfunded liabilities.

You can't pay that back. Ever. Not unless you introduce massive, budget-busting austerity, or introduce growth not realistically compatible with current demographics, global outsourcing, and deindustrialisation.

The only way out is to make the debt worth less through inflation.

Print more money, make each dollar less valuable, and suddenly that mountain of debt becomes a slightly smaller mountain. It's like losing weight by redefining what a pound means. And “yield curve jawboning?” In a nutshell, that's manipulating markets so that long-term interest rates, which are linked to mortgage and any asset loan pricing, render your housing, car and other bills lower.

Trump has been trying to get the Fed to cut interest rates more aggressively. He's cajoled, complained, and basically done everything short of sending Jerome Powell a singing telegram.

The Fed has budged a few quarter-point cuts. But Trump wants rates at least 3% lower by the midterms.

Meanwhile, the markets are getting shaky. The AI bubble that's been holding up the entire stock market is starting to look suspiciously fragile.
Crypto also proves this market fragility daily. When things go south, they go south viciously, in a correlated manner, and nothing seems to worry Trump more than a weak stock market. It is his most important “poll.”

So a new Fed Chair will take control of the narrative shortly after Christmas. Some ask, “what’s the big deal?” Think of it like this: you have a departing CEO who's being conservative, and the incoming CEO who's already in the building telling everyone, "Don't worry, once I'm in charge, we're ramping spending 10-fold and doing Vegas-style accounting!"

Never in the history of America has anyone tried to completely disintermediate the actual Fed with a shadow Fed. Never have bond markets had to discount two Fed chair narratives simultaneously.

The White House playbook: lower rates, cheaper mortgages, housing refinancing boom, $2,000 “stimies”, money floods back into stocks, crypto, and whatever other risk assets people are gambling on, people feeling richer, and Trump looking like a genius right before the midterms.

The dollar weakens. Global fiat weakens. Inflation may come back with a vengeance, but nobody's going to care about PPI and CPI numbers anymore because we're too busy enjoying record markets and reflating our way out of that $600 trillion global debt problem.

Detractors will scream that the Fed is supposed to be independent, and that you shouldn’t just install a hype man to undermine the current chairman and start shadow-governing monetary policy from the sidelines. But then again, we live in weird times. A shadow Fed chairman speaking counter to the actual Fed chairman would be like having two captains steering the same ship in opposite directions while everyone on deck places bets on which iceberg we hit first.

Will it work? Who knows! Market psychology is a strange beast. We are about to get Fed policy by proxy, economic stimulus by suggestion, and monetary policy by meme.

Welcome to the shadow realm. The popcorn is inflation-adjusted.

Who opposes cannabis legalization?​

 
Colorado was the first to legalize it, and to put the fewest restrictions on sale/use.

How is that working out? Public Stupidity is epidemic there.

Kinda what I expected. Of course I wasn't here 23 years ago, I was on the NewsMax board and one called NoPC...but I predicted pretty-much what happened.

No, I don't need kudos. It's common sense, to those who have an understanding of what that does to people. As a child of the 1970s in a very-"Progressive" high-school, and then a welfare worker...and then a bus driver in Denver, working the worst routes...yeah, I think I have a sense what it does.

I'm not interested in debating it. It will go nowhere, for a variety of reasons.

What I believe, comes from my reading of facts. Whether or not others reject them. But I have my views, and they're as valid as any others.

the Senate Judiciary Committee. Because too many Republicans would vote NO. Home-state senators do not want to give away their power to hand-select the U.S. attorney who would prosecute them, the U.S. district judge who would oversee their trial, and the U.S. marshal who would escort them to prison.

The solution is simple: Have all Senate Judiciary Republicans and at least 50 Senate Republicans sign a letter saying this: “We will vote to confirm President Trump’s U.S. attorney nominees who lack blue slips from home-state senators.” Then Grassley can move forward with a committee vote. But why would Grassley anger all his colleagues and waste limited committee resources, if the nominees will fail?
