Make America Great Again Inc. will file a 15-page complaint Wednesday with the Florida Commission on Ethics formally accusing the Republican governor of violating state ethics and election laws with his “shadow presidential campaign," according to a draft obtained by NBC News.

"Certain activities related to Governor DeSantis’s ascension to the national stage, insofar as they are funded by a vast network of political committees, non-profit organizations, and prominent political operatives, are unlawful because they serve his personal political objectives, are in furtherance of his personal financial gain at the expense of Florida taxpayers, and are intended to influence his official decision to resign from office," the complaint states.

"Governor DeSantis’s failure to declare his candidacy is no mere oversight; it is a coordinated effort specifically designed for him to accept, as unethical gifts, illegal campaign contributions and certain personal benefits that are necessarily intended to influence his official decision to resign from office under Florida’s resign to run law," the complaint alleges. "Governor DeSantis’s ham-handed maneuverings have rendered him irreparably conflicted and have left the statehouse vacant."

The horror!

Trump’s Media Company Reportedly Under Federal Investigation For Money Laundering Linked To Russia

Alison Durkee

Mar 15 Forbes Staff

  • Investigators were reportedly tipped off about the payments in October 2022 by whistleblower Will Wilkerson, a former executive at Trump Media, who told the Guardian the payments initially “caused alarm” at Trump Media and executives considered returning the money but decided not to, in part because they couldn’t afford to lose it.

"I got rid of the death tax on farms so that when you do pass away, on the assumption that you love your children, you can leave it to them and they won't have to pay tax, But if you don't love your children so much, and there are some people that don't, and maybe deservedly so, it won't matter, because frankly you won't have to leave them anything."
"Thank you very much, have fun!"

Trump’s first 2024 campaign rally will be in Waco

William Melhado, The Texas Tribune

March 18, 2023


[Note - Waco is the home of Baylor University.]  

In the spirit of High Strangeness and Synchronicity, the subtitle of Hank Albarelli Jr.'s initial foray into the investigation of the assassination of President Kennedy in Dallas ... you can't make this stuff up...

 

From Coup in Dallas . . . [Conservative writer Windsor] Mann also called attention to a quote which Donald Trump had borrowed from an online account, @ildulce2016: “It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep.” We know that it was Il Dulce, the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini, who was rescued by Hitler’s favorite commando, SS Otto Skorzeny; we also know that it was Skorzeny, captured in a cordial if not flagrantly warm photo with Benito’s son Romano in 1960, who served as the tactician for the plot to assassinate John Kennedy in Dallas.. . . 

 . . . At the time of [Dallas oilman Algur] Meadows’ highly touted Spanish oil venture with [Otto] Skorzeny which required the approval of [Francisco] Franco, the former National Socialist SS officer had already endeared himself to the Spanish general who had long sought the attention of Italian fascist dictator Mussolini. 

            In a letter from Mussolini addressed to Franco, dated August 25, 1940, Mussolini wrote, 

I should like to say to you, dear Franco, that I, with these my practical considerations, do not wish to hasten you in the least in the decision that you have to make, for I am sure that in your decisions you will proceed on the basis of the protection of the vital interests of your people and am just as certain that you will not let this opportunity go by of giving Spain her African Lebensraum. . . .There is no doubt that after France, Great Britain will be defeated; the British regime exists only on one single element: the lie . . . I certainly do not need to tell you that you, in your aspirations, can count on the full solidarity of Fascist Italy. I beg you, dear Franco, to accept my most cordial and comradely greetings.”  —MUSSOLINI, The Chief of Government and Duce of Fascism. 


Among Mussolini's goals had been to create an Italian empire in North Africa. In 1935, the dictator provoked war with Ethiopia, conquering the country in eight months. (This history is a marker for events that unfolded in 1963, when as we know from Pierre Lafitte, global arms deals were very much alive and well in disputes between Eritrea and Ethiopia.) Following Mussolini’s victory in Ethiopia, he sent 70,000 Italian troops to Spain to support Franco and defeat the republican government in the Spanish Civil War. Among Il Duce’s mottos, ‘”Believe! Obey! Fight!”

The camaraderie that developed between Spain’s own fascist dictator and Benito Mussolini reminds us of the obsequious tone of Dr. [A. Joseph] Armstrong’s memories of the Baylor “Browning Pilgrims’” when encountering Il Duce in 1931, covered in more detail in the chapter notes. It was, after all, Mussolini who extolled the virtues of fascism—in fact many argue he invented the ideology—as an alternative to socialist radicalism and parliamentary inaction. “Fascism,” he promised, “would end political corruption and labor strife while maintaining capitalism and private property. It would make trains run on time.” Nothing could appeal more to the interests of archconservative business, civic, and religious leaders across Texas. 

Chapter Note
MUSSOLINI RECEIVES THE BROWNING PILGRIMS: “When Mr. Mussolini notified the American ambassador that he would be pleased to receive us, the Chargé d’ Affaires ad interim, Alexander Kirk, called to inform us and to instruct us in the niceties of such a reception. His visit was followed by a special messenger from the Italian “ministero degli Affari Esteri" bearing a very large envelope with a gold seal. In Italian the Secretary had informed us that “the Chief of the Government”—as Mussolini is invariably called—“would receive us at 19:45 in the Palazzo Venezia.” It was a memorable day that “the Chief of the Government”—as Mussolini is invariably called—“would receive us at 19:45 in the Palazzo Venezia.” It was a memorable day. The Browning Pilgrims had been given an audience by the Pope at one and now at 7:45 we were being accorded a private reception by Mussolini. It thrills Americans to see Mussolini as he leaves his home in his automobile … but to see him intimately at close range was exciting and unforgettable . . . since our return to America, Mr. Mussolini has shown his further interest in Baylor Browning Collection and this pilgrimage by sending his autographed photograph in large cabinet size to be placed in the Browning Library—“ Baylor Bulletin: ‘BROWNING INTERESTS’ by A. Joseph Armstrong, Ph D., Litt.D.
