Trump Jr Secures $620 Million Dollar Mega Deal With Pentagon (Among other Federal contracts)
Here is yet another brazen example of nepotism, cronyism, market rigging, conflicts of interest, bribery, money laundering etc
(All the stuff everyone and their uncle rightfully usually associates with third world dictators)
A little-known rare earths start-up with about 30 employees has won a blockbuster funding deal from the Pentagon, three months after Donald Trump Jrโs venture capital firm invested in the company.
Vulcan Elements will receive a $620mn loan from the US defence department as part of a $1.4bn deal to increase the supply of magnets for industries alongside partner ReElement Technologies. The pact also includes more than $550mn in private financing and other federal incentives.
The loan, agreed last month, is the largest made by the Pentagonโs Office of Strategic Capital but only the latest federal government contract handed to companies backed by Trump Jrโs $1bn-plus investment fund.
North Carolina-based Vulcan drew funding in August from 1789 Capital, a fund founded by pro-Trump donors in 2023. The US presidentโs son joined in 2024 and is a partner in the eight-person firm.
At least four of 1789โs portfolio companies have won contracts from the Trump administration this year, amounting to more than $735mn, according to analysis by the Financial Times. Other groups backed by Trump Jr have received regulatory relief. 1789 also invests in bigger government contractors, such as Anduril and Elon Muskโs SpaceX.
The contracts raise new questions about conflicts of interest at the heart of the Trump administration and follow an array of pardons and other legal benefits doled out to the presidentโs donors. This is all
in addition to the $1 billion dollars in cash the Trump family has taken from its crypto pump and dump
ventures in the past year.

This makes $2.34 trillion.
The EU and Britain together hold more US debt than China. Such a sell-off could raise the yield on 10-year Treasuries by 200 basis points overnight, paralyze the US mortgage market, and push up annual federal debt payments by $1.5 trillion.

Same playbook being played out across Europe/UK - ELON MUSK: Once you understand the incentive, the reason for the behavior becomes obvious: they are importing a left-voting bloc that depends on government handouts.
A prominent example of this in America is Ilhan Omar and her Somali voting bloc in Minnesota, an area which used to be primarily Nordic-German.
Importing voters is a CERTAIN path to a single-party supermajority and has ALREADY happened at the state level in California and New York. It also explains why those states have BANNED VOTER ID in order to accelerate a permanent socialist supermajority, destroying any semblance of democracy.

It is deeply weird that the absolute top priority for a lot of American and European politicians is bringing in millions of unvetted third-world immigrants. They could have shut down right wing populism entirely by compromising on this issue, but they refuse.

Nicholas Ochs spent 2 years inside federal prison before being suddenly freed and declared totally legally innocent - not pardoned. This is the January 6 story that you didn't get to read in the news. Ochs never loses his sense of humor: not when convicted of a crime that no longer exists, not when he was the target of an attempted framing as the DC pipe bomber, and not even when he was accused of attempting to take over his prison and thrown in an unbelievably harsh punishment cell. He is never complaining, but also never unconscious of the powerful forces working against him. Ochs brings an emotional, honest, yet always hilarious appraisal of just how rough things can get.
Age of Rot is the collected prison writings of a real American political prisoner and the most poignant record in print of what it's really like to be on the wrong side of leftist political power in the modern Western World. The cost of being a political dissident is as high as it has ever been, and the spirit of the Gulag is alive in America. This is what happens when a man refuses to fold.
Praise for Age of Rot:
"Nick might be the smartest person Iโve ever met. Powerful dumb people have kept him out of sight, but he was always meant to be a major player in American politics. You should be mad youโve been denied more Nick."
- Gavin McInnes
โAt long last, a good January 6 book. Can they all finally shut up about it now? Please?โ
