From the #Seychelles to the #WhiteHouse to #CambridgeAnalytica, #ErikPrince and the #UAE are key parts of the #Trump story

"In January 2017 Erik Prince attended a meeting in the #Seychelles with the United Arab Emirate’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, the CEO of the #Russian Direct Investment Fund #KirillDmitriev, and George Nader, a former consultant for Erik Prince’s company Blackwater.

"While Erik Prince testified in November 2017 to the House Intelligence Committee that the meeting with Dmitriev was unplanned, news broke last week that Mueller has evidence that Prince’s meeting with Putin’s ally Dmitriev may not have been a chance encounter, contradicting Prince’s sworn testimony. And, according to George Nader, a main purpose of the meeting was to set up a communication channel between the Russian government and the incoming #Trump administration.

"Earlier this year, a seemingly unrelated scandal erupted after a story broke about Trump’s data company Cambridge Analytica harvesting #FacebookData on tens of millions of people. Shortly after that a Channel 4 News investigation revealed undercover film of Cambridge Analytica executives bragging about the dirty tricks they use to influence elections.

"As the Cambridge Analytica scandal was unfolding, I broke the story about a new company Emerdata Limited, created by Cambridge Analytica executives, that in early 2018 added new board members Rebekah and Jennifer Mercer, Cheng Peng, Chun Shun Ko Johnson, who is a business partner of Erik Prince, and Ahmed Al Khatib, a ‘Citizen of Seychelles’."

Well, I think I was wrong about who is the #Antichrist. It's not #Trump, or #ErikPrince, it's #JaredKushner (who bears a striking resemblance to teenaged Damien in Omen II). 666 Fifth Avenue, eh? Hmmmm...

Was #ErikPrince also whispering in Trump's ear?

UPDATE: #Trump says #Kushner helped convince him to go to war with #Iran

The disclosure highlights Kushner's massive financial conflicts.

By Judd Legum

Excerpt: "Kushner’s largest investor is the Saudi Arabian government, which provided Kushner with $2 billion in funding in 2021. Each year, #SaudiArabia pays Kushner 1.25% of its investment, $25 million, as a 'management fee.' Meaning he has received in excess of $100 million from the Saudi government over the last few years.

Notably, 'Saudi Crown Prince #MohammedBinSalman made multiple private phone calls to Trump in February, advocating a U.S. attack,' according to reporting in the Washington Post.

"Trump’s comments reveal that Kushner used his role in Geneva to push Trump toward the outcome favored by his biggest client. #AffinityPartners also received more than $200 million from the #UAE. According to CNN, behind the scenes, the UAE was also lobbying Trump to strike Iran."

Sources say that when a coalition of forces fighting alongside the DRC government re-entered Uvira last month—after M23 had withdrawn from the city—foreign mercenaries under Prince’s leadership were among those accompanying the coalition. These mercenaries have reportedly been seen for some time in ongoing fighting in the surrounding highland areas.

The same sources allege that Prince was arrested at a hotel in the Muchepe area, together with soldiers assigned to his security, before being taken to an undisclosed location.

#Blackwater Successor Hunts #Immigrants for #ICE

#ConstellisHoldings, which traces its roots to #ErikPrince’s #mercenary firm Blackwater, landed an ICE contract as a #BountyHunter.

by Sam Biddle
January 3 2026

Excerpt: "#Constellis was formed in 2014 through the merger of #Academi, previously known as Blackwater, and #TripleCanopy, a rival mercenary contractor. The combined companies and their subsidiaries have reaped billions from contracts for guarding foreign military installations, embassies, and domestic properties, along with work for the Department of Homeland Security [#DHS] and U.S. spy agencies.

"Blackwater, founded in 1997 by Erik Prince, renamed itself multiple times over the years after it sparked international scandal for its violent work in #Iraq. In 2007, Blackwater #mercenaries massacred 14 #civilians in #Baghdad; several of its contractors serving prison sentences for the killings were pardoned by President Donald #Trump in 2020.

"Prince resigned as CEO of Blackwater in 2009, and Constellis says it has no relationship with him.

"Though there are no ties between them, Constellis’s move to serve as a bounty hunter for ICE aligns with Prince’s reported interest in privatizing immigration enforcement.

"The government has so far paid Constellis $1.5 million, with the potential for the total to grow to more than $113 million.

"In February, Politico reported that Prince — a longtime and steadfast Trump ally — was among a group of military contractors who urged the federal government to employ a '#SkipTracingTeam' and 'bounty program which provides a cash reward' to incentivize the rapid tracking of immigrants. The proposal suggested that, due to a lack of federal manpower, ICE should deputize private citizens to help track down immigrants."
