Remember when Michael Flynn conspired with Turkey/Erdogan to do something similar. He's walking around free now and trying to fire up an insurrection against the USA.

I thought about the kidnapping plot too. It was a Turkish dissident Gulen. Flynn had help of other American traitors too. That means Glynn jr & Flynn intel group knew & worked on behalf of Erdogen…and this sounds very similar. Former CIA guy James Wolsey was involved too…haven’t heard anything about Woolsey’s role.

If anyone wants to see Maddie’s opening on IRGC ties to Trump family, her show aired it March 2017.

This is a terrifying story. To imagine Rhouani regime holding the power to hire private investigators to surveillance their victim for a kidnapping plot, is bone chilling. That this has been done in other countries by same regime, is daunting.

Jr is not a bright guy and his July 4th comments are prescient here. You are correct that nothing reported would tie Jr to this, but it does leave one wondering what his comments referred to. The only thing I can think of is that Jr & the Trump ilk have strong ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Azerbaijan had Ivanka directly involved with the Iranian Revolutionary Giard. There are plenty of photos of her wearing that awful fur coat promoting a hotel billed as waterfront property in spite of no waterfront. Of course the hotel had no exit or entrance but was under constant renovation and her photo was all over the marketing of a luxury hotel designed for nobody to live in or stay in…ie. money laundering. She violated sanctions too. But I digress. Trump designated IRGC a terrorist organization w/Pompeii & Bolton in 2019. Intel community disagreed. Trump failed to mention he helped launder money and acquire weapons of mass destruction for the IRGC as reported in New Yorker 2017. That article was about Trump Tower in Baku & also reported on by Rachel Maddow, who opened her show with a story about the Baku hotel that had no exit or entrance. Trump had signed multiple contracts w/ the Mamnadov family according to Vanity Fair April 2019. Ziya Mammadov awarded those contracts to Ivanka. It was so startling that the IRGC was using private companies owned by IRGC members, to finance terror. Whenever I think of Iran, I think of this story. Financing terror through Americans and private companies. As Trump threatened war w/Iran, he was part of laundering their money. It’s so disturbing. We talk about tax evasions in Weisselberg indictment. Nothing is more terrifying than Iran using American private investigators to surveillance citizens or to finance terror. This journalist in Brooklyn endured so much stress…thank goodness for the work of the FBI. This story is bone chilling…(redundant but no other term comes to mind).

This is chilling and so eerily comparable to Flynn plot to abduct Turkish dissident Gulen using a private plane. Homer (below) had same thought. James Wolsey was involved in that (former CIA director). We have heard nothing about Woolsey’s legal jeopardy in this. Still wondering if he must’ve cooperated.

This is just…wow…

I think I was so fixated on getting the article published in a timely manner that I cut off any kind of emotion—but now that I’ve had time to process what I read and wrote - you’re so right —this was (and still is) a terrifying experience this reporter and her family have endured. I’m so grateful that the FBI is protecting her and her NYC household but yes it’s a lot to process and it is frightening it happened here on US soil.

I watched her on MSNBC yesterday. I couldn't believe that this was happening in the United States! Pointing out another thing that people need to be made aware of!

on that note, Filey, please stay safe. I'm sure there are those walking in the shade that would like to see you to go away...
