    Not sure what you’re hinting at. Anything to do with the grift between Qatar and Trump? Am I warm?

    On a side note, Parscale was not a a career scammer. His transition to life post Trump certainly didn’t go well after having a starring role in Trump’s first run. It was quite a fall. Parscale had luckboxed into a Presidential campaign as someone with rudimentary social media and internet skills during the dinosaur compute age when most had even less game. Brad was like one of your child stars that ended up on drugs and got charged with rape when their sitcom was cancelled. Israel was a likely match for him now, I guess. Wouldn’t it be wild if he is on the Epstein list too? He’s a big goof

    Parscale stole from the Trump campaign. He and his consulting firms received tens of millions of dollars from the 2020 Trump campaign and the RNC. Once that was exposed, he and Trump fell out.

    It's a similar grift to what The Lincoln Project pulled against dumb libs who donated to them, but at least they stole from their own organization.

    Two months later, he beat his wife and got in a standoff with police when they came over for a domestic violence call. He was put in a Florida mental hospital over this.

    Suffice to say that he's not the type of conservative I would want in a leadership position in my party.

    It's possible that the death of his premature twins in 2016 caused him to crack. People have cracked for worse reasons.



    Regarding Qatar, I am not exactly sure why they have donated so much money. The assumption is that this allows them to influence campus policy. It might explain why colleges were so hesitant to crack down on blatant anti-Semitism for many months following 10/7/23. There's some reason that government is funneling so much money into US higher education.

    It's just laughable when people complain about the minute amount of money donated by Israel, when Qatar dwarfs it.

    Qatar has donated a lot of money directly to Hamas, and has sheltered its leaders.

    It's a bit more complicated than that, though. Qatar had been sending $30m/month to Hamas, with the approval of Netanyahu and the US. The thought at the time, while stupid, was that this would "buy peace", and Hamas would stay in their own corner as long as the $$ kept flowing in to keep them happy. Instead, much of it was diverted to military buildup and the planning of 10/7, and this left Bibi and the US with egg on their faces.

    Israel's bombing of Doha, Qatar last month was basically a "fuck you" to them for all of their Hamas support over the years, and what it ended up causing. Israel was going after Hamas leaders who were gathered there at the time, but the operation only killed one, and there was some collateral damage.

    Israel didn't give a shit about angering Qatar over this, because they felt like Qatar had basically duped them for 11 years.

    There are many, including me, who believe that Qatar was very aware that their money was being used by Hamas to fund terror, and were totally fine with it.

    Qatar and Iran were the main foreign actors propping up the 10/7 attack and subsequent Hezbollah attacks which began a day later.

Hes an Antisemitic turd, a Misogynist and the scary thing is he's literally stirring up the closeted sheet wearers aka the KKK types. While he hasnt said it pretty sure the little fuck is racist as hell.

    As if folks would cry if the Mullahs were removed in Iran. Hell Saudi Arabia wants them gone (2 fold reasoning because its an Arab Persian thing and secondly its a Shia vs Sunni Islam thing). Not to mention KSA would have no choice but to have to use some of their oil money to build nukes if Iran got some. Irans leaders are crazy but not enough to launch on Israel as they could easily wipe Iran off the globe with only a portion of their arsenal. No the real reason Iran wants nukes is to have an ability to bully and be the real Hegemonic power in the Middle East

    I forgot the details regarding Parscale’s theft of campaign funds. He certainly and quite literally lost his mind but “career scammer” wasn’t a proper description now was it? I was at one time truly fascinated by Parscale and his Presidential Election night wizardry. Been nearly a decade now and I wasn’t as nimble with the details as I should have been.

    I cannot reconcile Trump’s career scamming with Qatar while at the same time “palling it up” with Bibi. I’m sure it’s all just transactional and void of ideology

    You really have no clue why Qatar, a country with no domestic interest in higher education, dumps the most money into US higher education than any other country? And you have no curiosity why?

    And you probably also have no curiosity why we just signed an 'ironclad' defense agreement with them? Aren't you the one always arguing we need to disentangle ourselves from the Middle East and Israel? And instead we sign a defense pack with the nation that houses the leaders of a group Israel is at war with, who is the biggest propaganda outlet of radical Islamism in the world (Al Jazeera), and you are completely indifferent to this? This is pretty much the exact opposite of disentangling ourselves from the ME. Seems like something you should care about.

    I do find it very disappointing that people that are so hyper critical of Israel are so indifferent to our relationship with Middle Eastern countries, and their influence on us, when no Jews are involved. And I am not blaming you individually; we care about what elites want us to care about.

    Do explain then. I had no prior knowledge of higher education. I am aware of gifts and business deals between the President and Qatar. Neither you nor Druff have offered the answer.

    Hyper critical is not a fair description of me personally though I understand people are. I skew more toward apathy but I am no fan of Netanyahu.

    The Middle East is filthy and ought not to be our concern.

    I am not an isolationist saying we need to disentangle from the ME. That being said, if I was I would think that US signing a defense agreement with the nation that houses the biggest pro-Islamist/anti-Israel/anti-Jewish propaganda outlet in the world and also houses the leaders of a terrorist group Israel is at war with would be a pretty big deal. And this isn't even getting into all the intra-Middle East/intra-Muslim conflicts this potentially signs us up for.

    Making deals like this doesn't disentangle us, it draws us further and further in.

    And yet all the so-called isolationists seem pretty agnostic. All the so called isolationists just have tunnel vision blinders for Israel, they seem to have forgotten there are 250 other nations in the world.

    Seems like one of the advantages of making everything about Israel/Netanyahu to the public, is that while everyone is distracted you can get away with anything that doesn't involve Netanyahu.

    The window is as wide open for bribery and transactional diplomacy as will ever exist so it’s a frenzy right now.

    Maybe "career scammer" was too harsh. Probably should have said "opportunistic large scale scammer".

    The bottom line is that he should have been in prison, not simply excommunicated from Trumpland. But these contracting scams are all the rage nowadays, and it seems that nobody is interested in prosecuting them. As I said before, The Lincoln Project did much of the same thing. It's headed by disgraced Bush era campaign operatives, who realized there was a huge opportunity to posture as "ethical Republicans against Trump" and solicit donations during election season from gullible libs. It totally worked, and then they funneled something like $80m into their own consulting firms. To this day, most Dems love The Lincoln Project, even though this has all been exposed, and also despite the fact that one of the original founders turned out to be a gay pedo.

    Parscale did a good job on the 2016 campaign. He was part of the reason Trump went from a joke/gimmick candidate to the surprised crusher of the GOP field to the surprise victor of the general election. Unfortunately, that was Parscale's big moment in the sun, and then he turned to the scamming while his effectiveness also declined. Maybe it really was a result of the death of his premature twins that snapped him into being a different person. Look into Andrew Tate, and you'll see a very different man before his father died unexpectedly in his 50s.

    Regarding, Qatar, it's complicated with them.

    They are much less blunt and in-your-face with their ideology than Iran. Qatar is basically a snake in the grass, which sneakily plays both sides in order to achieve their goals.




    Qatar likes to position itself as a voice of reason in the Middle East. They play nice with Iran and Hamas, while also attempting to assure Israel and the US that they want to work toward peace in the region.

    Biden fell for the ruse. In September 2023, the Biden administration arranged for the transfer of $6 billion in frozen Iranian oil revenues from banks in South Korea to "restricted accounts" in Qatar. In return, Iran released 5 American hostages.

    You'd think the US would have learned decades ago, regarding buying the release of hostages from Iran, but apparently not. Iran completely outplayed Obama during his years in the White House, then Trump handled them well during his first term, but the fail reignited under Biden.

    In this September 2023 deal, Qatar was laughably placed as the distributor of the funds. Iran had to promise not to use any of the funds for terrorism (lol), and only for humanitarian purposes. Of course, the huge hole in this "promise" is that funds can simply be shifted around. Iran could reduce their humanitarian budget to zero, transfer all of it to fund terror, and then use the US-released funds held by Qatar for terrorism.

    It would be like me asking you for $10,000, and you saying that you don't want to give it to me because I'll just gamble with it. Then I sign a contract promising I won't use the $10k to gamble, so you send it to me. Then I take $10,000 I had set aside for family expenses, gamble that away, and take your $10,000 to spend on my family. Technically I didn't directly gamble your $10,000, but in reality that's exactly what I did.

    But back to Qatar. You know what happened a month after September 2023. At that point, Qatar couldn't ship the $6b over to Iran without looking terrible, so they agreed to "freeze" it. In October 2024, Iran started hassling Qatar to release it, and Qatar softly agreed to do so. It's unknown what has happened since then.

    Why does Qatar fund American universities? It's obviously for some kind of influence. And based upon their sneaky and underhanded behavior, plus no practical reason for why they'd otherwise be doing so, it's safe to assume the worst.

    In short, Qatar agrees with Iran and wants to see Israel wiped off the map, but they're doing so under the cover of being the reasonable middleman.

    Why is Trump falling for this? No idea. It's possible that he got taken in the same way Biden did, and the same way Bibi did in the early 2010s. To me, Qatar is as transparent as Saran Wrap.

    Druff’s lack of objectivity and honesty on this subject is really annoying

    Purposely omitting the Trump Family’s extensive business and development deals with Qatar not to mention gifts (plane most famously) and crypto enrichment.

    Trump delivering a military protection order for Qatar was also part of the transaction between the Trumps and Qatar.

    We likely don’t know the half of it.

    The Middle East is so filthy

    Obviously Trump is neck deep in it. But it isn't just Trump. Qatar has had their hand caught in the cookie jar in a lot of influence peddling operations throughout the world, including in Netanyahu's cabinet itself. The European Union had their own Qatargate scandal a couple years ago. But no one cares, because everyone is in on it. And we can safely surmise what they have gotten caught doing is only a small part of what they have actually done.

    I am not even arguing all the corruption is bad for the US. I am not an isolationist. I think the US should be involved in Middle East politics and nation building. And maybe Trump's willingness to grease the wheels to get things moving will be good for the US down the road.

    I just find it silly when antisemties try to argue that Netanyahu is directing US foreign policy or Qatar is a victim of "Zionist" propaganda. All that is nonsense.

    We likely don’t know the half of it.

    The Middle East is so filthy
    Perhaps the deals have something to do with it. You also have to understand that Trump's weakness involves people who kiss his ass. If Qatar comes to him and says, "Mr. Trump, you are doing a great job with the Middle East, better than any US President ever. We want peace in the region as much as you do, and we think you're the only guy who can deliver it", that will basically butter him up to do whatever they want, as long as it's not going to cause him immediate problems.

    That's why I said I had "no idea" what Qatar did to get Trump on board. He doesn't have the distrust for them like he does Iran, even though he should.

    But still... I mentioned the Biden stuff because it's just shocking, even for a dolt like Biden. How do you ever hand $6 billion in cash to Iran? They're the #1 state sponsor of terror against the West, and they want to see Israel completely annihilated. Why would you ever give them access to $6 billion, even if it's supposedly "already their money". Just like online poker, the money isn't yours until it's in your bank or crypto account. Iran can talk about the theoretical money they're owed, but if they have no way to collect, it isn't theirs. That's been the case for decades. Obama and Biden kept handing them cash, and then trumpeted their "success" in getting hostages back. Ugh. Like, that's retard level foreign policy, no matter how you slice it.

    The above is relevant because of Qatar's role in managing the funds.

    The whole thing is so slimy. I couldn't believe when I read that the $6 billion was okay because Qatar would manage it. That would be like staking Chino Rheem and having Erick Lindgren manage it. Yes, I'm big on poker analogies tonight. It's just unbelievable that anyone would want Qatar in the middle of anything.

    Back to Fuentes himself.

    This is a retarded take.

    Not the part about Ellison. I suppose if you're afraid of DA JOOOZ taking over all media, Ellison buying these entities could be alarming to you.

    But the Bari Weiss shit? Get the fuck outta here.

    She's no Israeli spy. She's an American Jewish lesbian who used to be on the left, starting drifting toward the center, and fell out with the NY Times because of their ever increasing Jew hatred.

    She's basically made a name for herself by being a media person who validated the right's narrative that the media is highly biased and unfair against conservatives. This significantly raised her profile. She then took on a very pro-Jewish and pro-Israel stance, which obviously appealed to Ellison, and here we are.

    Is it likely Bari Weiss is going to clamp down upon the rabid anti-Semitism present on TikTok? Yes.

    Is she going to turn Warner Bros and Paramount into Israeli propaganda machines? Highly unlikely.

    Is she on Israel's payroll? Again, highly unlikely.


    Her vocal pro-Israel stance was partially due to her actual beliefs, and partially a gimmick to get noticed. Fuentes always has to make a conspiracy about everything, especially if it involves DA JOOOOZ.

    The other part is that despite every far right and far left retard spreading those takes, Larry Ellison didn't buy TikTok, Skydance which his son runs did merge with Paramount but they haven't "bought" Warner Bros Discovery - a company many times larger etc. They are apparently going to try and come up with an all cash bid, but they are likely just getting used in this scenario to drive up the price.

    The "Jews have taken over/bought TikTok" take is the worst. Oracle has done their cloud computing and cyber security for North America since our government first put pressure on them years ago about selling. ByteDance still controls TikTok overall and now owns a 20% stake in the US operations. Oracle (Ellison owns 40% of), Silver Lake (who quietly owns everything), and an Arab state controlled investment firm called MGX formed a consortium that bought a 45% stake of the US branch. Exact details aren't currently available but it's assumed all three divided this evenly. There's a strong online campaign to push the limits of antisemitism on TikTok and to frame this as if it's a Jewish crackdown for any pushback. I can't tell anything different about what is allowed, but if one does search certain topics it brings up a notice. I think this and banning the juice box emoji has had an opposite effect of what was intended (of course it did), but no one wants their billion dollar investment to turn into a political echo chamber.

    Why does no one question an Abu Dhabi state controlled firm now having a major influence on an American social media company whose users skew younger than any other?
