Tiktok and The Carlyle Group Connection

“Tiktok Data collection”, and the only way they will stop it is if they have completed their agenda.

Carlyle Group

in a nutshell:

”they're part of the US military industrial complex, and are considered one of the most, if not most prolific war profiteers out there, having notably profited off of 9/11 and the war in Iraq / Afghanistan, the Libyan civil war, the Syrian civil war, and also the current ongoing US / Saudi Arabian backed genocide in Yemen.
'Carlyle has been profiled in two notable documentaries: Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 and William Karel's The World According to Bush!'
'In Fahrenheit 9/11, Moore makes nine allegations concerning the Carlyle Group. Moore focused on Carlyle's connections with George H. W. Bush and his Secretary of State James Baker, both of whom had at times served as advisers to the firm. The movie quotes author Dan Briody, who claimed that the Carlyle Group gained from the September 11 attacks because it owned military contractor
United Defense!'”

“this company was also invested in by members of the Bin Laden family, the family of Osama bin Laden, who did 9/11 and was the leader of al-Qaeda
In The World According to Bush, William Karel interviewed Frank Carlucci to discuss the presence of Shafig bin Laden, Osama bin Laden's estranged brother, at Carlyle's annual investor conference while the September 11 attacks were occurring.
Carlyle's 2001 investor conference took place on September 11, 2001. In the weeks following the meeting, it was reported that Shafiq bin Laden, a member of the Bin Laden family, had been the
"guest of honor", and that they were investors in Carlyle managed tunds.
they accomplished this with their ownership of United Defense [a defense company that was bought by new defense company in 2005,1 a US defense contractor which 'produces armoured combat vehicles, artillery, naval guns, missile launchers, and precision munitions. '”

“another one of their investments were in Combined Systems Inc, which produces a substantial majority of the tear gas and 'anti riot' gear in current circulation used by police departments in the US, against protestors. a majority of the tear gas used by police departments during the protesting this summer / most of 2020, for example, came from this company.
they have majority stakes in Supreme, Vans, and a couple of others.”

“The New York City streetwear brand has a history of anti-establishment messaging, which is in sharp contrast to its 50-percent stakeholder. In 2017, The Carlyle Group acquired approximately half of the brand for around $500 million — an eye-opening development in streetwear's rise from a subculture to a cultural movement with a much larger audience. But as observers pointed out then, the private equity group's unsavory history added baggage to the landmark deal.
Since its formation in 1983, The Carlyle Group has profited handsomely off of war due to its numerous investments in the defense industry.
More immediately, critics of both Carlyle and Supreme have tied the two parties to Combined Systems Inc., a manufacturer of tear gas used by police departments across the country.”

“As Hasan Minhaj pointed out in a viral episode of Patriot Act explaining Supreme in 2018, The Carlyle Group then owned a 23 percent stake in the supply chain management company Wesco.
Along with another company called BAE Systems, Wesco provides support for the European Typhoon fighter jet used by Saudi Arabia to bomb Yemen. Carlyle's relationship with Wesco ended just this year when Platinum Equity completed its acquisition of the company for a deal worth approximately $1.9 billion.
i had joked to my bestfriend today when i had researched this company that the same source of tear gas that gassed her multiple times last year while at protests was now the same source in control of my favourite, most played game, mao
they also notably have some majority stakes in other stuff such as dunkin donuts, getty images, and some energy companies that involve dirty industries.
this company is way worse than some boring chinese mining company, to the regards of the sheer damage it has done to the world [supreme and profiteering]”
