Good morning Zimbabwe. Thank you again to all the people messaging me to be part of the anti-corruption movement. My desire is to build teams of people for different focus areas to apply pressure on the system.

1. Judiciary- work to identify and expose compromised justices, state interference of court cases. Persecution of opposition figures and journalists. Fight for s59 of the constitution as a key part of the fight against corruption.
2. ZACC- work closely with ZACC to communicate status of current investigations. Identify weaknesses and strengths.
3. Auditor General- work with the AG to better understand how tax dollars are being spent. Scrutinize government operations.
4. National budget- forensic accountants to review current and previous budgets. Identify things that don't make sense.
5. ZRP- confront the issue of police brutality and corruption within the force. Develop a blueprint for what we want our police to look like.
6. ZEC- electoral reforms. Accountability. Citizens should help develop better voter registration systems. Conditions for Diaspora vote established before 2023.
7. Digital media - create a campaign to inspire young people and all Zimbabweans to become more active.
8. Community engagement- spreading the word about a citizen driven anti corruption fight. Flyers, knocking on doors, social media connections. We need to drown out Zanu PF propaganda with the truth.

More from Government

Let me take a stab at this after years of reporting on Marine One, HMX-1, Continuity of Government, etc. None of this is definitive, but it could help explain what folks are seeing:

1.) HMX-1, which flies the VH-3D and VH-60N 'White Top' helicopters used to move... 1/X


the President and VP around, those helos being called Marine One or Two when either is onboard, need to train. The urban landing zones, including WH and VP Residence, are not simple to get in and out of. So, crews need some currency training. They are not just tasked with... 2/X

moving POTUS and VP to get them around the region and to Andrews AFB for long-haul flights, they are essential to Continuity of Government operations. This means that if a threat were to emerge, they need to be ready to snatch POTUS and VP in minutes. This is partially... 3/X

why they have a full forward operating location at Naval Support Activity Anacostia, just 3 miles from the WH. As such, practice is important and considering the state of things, it is critical now more than in any recent memory. 4/X

2.) Considering what happened last week, including mobs of Trump supporters screaming in unison to hang the VP for doing what the constitution states, absolutely despicable in every way, security has been tightened just as it has been all over. Using the helicopters instead.. 5/X
Long thread: Because I couldn’t find anything comprehensive, I’m just going to post everything I’ve seen in the news/Twitter about Trump’s activities related to the Jan 6th insurrection. I think the timing & context of his actions/inactions will matter a lot for a senate trial.

12/12: The earlier DC protest over the electoral college vote during clearly inspired Jan 6th. On Dec 12th, he tweeted: “Wow! Thousands of people forming in Washington (D.C.) for Stop the Steal. Didn’t know about this, but I’ll be seeing them! #MAGA.”


12/19: Trump announces the Jan. 6th event by tweeting, “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!” Immediately, insurrectionists begin to discuss the “Wild Protest.” Just 2 days later, this UK political analyst predicts the violence


12/26-27: Trump announces his participation on Twitter. On Dec. 29, the FBI sends out a nationwide bulletin warning legislatures about attacks https://t.co/Lgl4yk5aO1


1/1: Trump tweets the time of his protest. Then he retweets “The calvary is coming” on Jan. 6!” Sounds like a war? About this time, the FBI begins visiting right wing extremists to tell them not to go--does the FBI tell the president? https://t.co/3OxnB2AHdr
