— Skip hotel WiFi networks completely
— Never use USB ports in hotel rooms
— Disable location tagging on your iPhone camera

PHYSICAL SECURITY
— Watch your drink
— Remove your conference lanyard before leaving (it’s like a “ROB ME” sign)
— Watch your back for “wrench attacks” (getting robbed)
— Beware the $300K lesson: someone allegedly lost that much after bringing strippers back to their room
PRIVACY PROTOCOL

— Never share pics with identifying landmarks
— Only post photos AFTER you’ve left the location

From 2008 to 2013 Naomi Campbell was engaged to Russian Oligarch Vladislav Doronin. Doronin is known as the “Donald Trump of Moscow” and built role tallest skyscraper downtown. Naomi is also known to have been very good friends with Ghislaine Maxwell. After retiring from the FBI, Charles Doronin was hired by Doronin to run security for his resort in Colorado.
Doronin also owns most of the Crown Building which is directly across the street from Trump tower in NYC.
But the crazy thing is, look at all the surnames associated with the yacht and the Crown Building. The Kingdom 5KR is especially fascinating when you read the Wikipedia page.

I examine past US corruption – and conclude Trump can’t be compared to anything American, only Russia or Africa.

MAGA Republicans “We are NOT Republicans, we are MAGA, we owe no loyalty to the Republican Party. Far too many RINOs in Congress as well as at State levels. PRIMARY LIST, MAGA/AF.
There are no roles or seats for the Curmudgeon Guard, RINOs, RATs & NeoCons in the MAGA/AF Party. Their days are OVER.
