Noooo.... Mana has some nice bangers

You don't want a ceasefire?

Change FPTP or stfu.

I just imagine Pim Toole grabbing the cash with his eyes closed as Lauren slides it across the table.

No

Yes. You're right. If only we didn't think of that! Damn. Thank you Knock knock. I will pass the info along to AIPAC. Thank you.

You're not tracking the convo.

Its the "funneling money" part you're not getting. They can't just PayPal it to their buddy.

I'm a US citizen living abroad. If I have over 10k in my account it triggers my bank to notify FBAR and they have to report it to the IRS - and that's not even an America bank!

At this point we're looping.

YOU made the claim. Show us the evidence (you won't) that AIPAC circumvented FARA.

Either:

• You have no clue what you're talking about,
• You're intentionally spreading misinfo

Which is it?

You actually have to pay a hefty fee to denounce your citizenship

There's no way they're not anticipating this. We didn't all wake up yesterday to Trump.

I don't understand the hubris in online discussions. Do you see me going around debating string theory with anyone? It's Ok to say 'I don't know'. The world would be so much better if we all just were a bit more honest. No one will think less of you. In fact, they'll respect you more.

It's not on us to hold your hand each step of the way to explain how finance regulation works or how difficult it is to move the large sums of money we are talking about. You made the claim AIPAC is circumventing FARA and that anyone can set up a lobby group tied to foreign funds easy like opening up a PayPal account. This betrays total ignorance of how much you understand about finance regulation. In order to even start a conversation we have to unpack all of FARA and everything else tied to finance regulation. I'm not obbligated to 'show you the sources' of AIPAC funds because you don't even understand the foundations of what we're talking about. So pump the breaks big guy.

We are not here to hold your wee wee every time you need to pee, but here you are, pissing in the pool so we have to put up with conspiracy theories day in and out.

Do you think they walk around with millions of cash in bags with dollar signs on them??? How do you think money moves around or these orgs are audited?

If you don't understand a topic, it's OK. Say "I will do some research".

I don't argue with people about quantum string theory because I don't understand it. It's OK. Just take some time. All the information is out there. It's not as complicated as string theory, but if you put some time and heart into it you can get to the bottom of this conundrum.

Yes. "Grigorian" was the fictitious investor they set up to act as the funding source.

However, in the communication between Chen and her husband they were able to figure out whoever that they were based out of Russia. In one of the messages between the they are found looking up Moscow time to check why Grigorian hadn't replied to a communication.

It's crazy.

Yea. And the point is you have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe take some time to read up on how FARA and finance regulation works?

Yea. Except that's not how any of this works. You have a really cartoon level understanding of how finance works and how these orgs are audited. The world is not a James Bond movie where some rando hacks a linux terminal and breaks into the IMF.

You need evidence to substantiate that FARA was circumvented by funneling funds from foreign entities.

If US citizens want to set up an entity and fund a lobbying group that supports Russia they are allowed to do so, but the money has to originate from US sources. Maybe take a few minutes to understand how the law works.

It's been a really common talking point on right on the alt right for a while. To this day, no evidence has been substantiated to support this claim.

Lauren and her partner are Canadians (Persons 1&2 in the indictment). They set up a company in Tennessee to manage production and pay the 'talent'.

It's in the indictment: Tenet Media

Not really, but it's nice to see the receipts. The indictments are pretty damning
