This is absolutely wild. The leaked emails showing Ellison literally vetting Rubio for Israeli interests is the smoking gun people have been saying doesn't exist. And the language is so explicit too, 'did he pass your scrutiny' isnt subtle at all. What really gets me is the Michigan enrollment data. Every single university in the country is hemorrhaging international students because of the visa crackdowns Rubio signed off on, but Michigan Ann Arbor somehow increases? While being framed as the epicenter of Chinese espionage? That's not luck, that's infrastructure. The manufactured crisis around those fungus arrests is also insane, the way they dusted off a year old Biden era arrest and repackaged it alongside two new ones to create this narrative. And then you find out the experts said it was basically bread yeast on the risk spectrum but they ran with the bioweapon angle anyway. The whole architecture here is exactly what you've been documenting, power that operates through relationships and infrastucture rather than explicit deals. The fact that this all connects back to Tony Blair and Gaza reconstruction makes it even more dystopian. Thanks for putting all these peices together, this is the kind of investigative work that actually matters.
