Owning a Formula One team could be the next step for Saudi Arabia after sponsoring the sport and hosting a grand prix, according to the chairman of the kingdom's automobile and motorcycle federation. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/04/16/more-sports/saudi-arabia-f1/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #saudiarabia #formulaone #pif #astonmartin #alpine
U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday he is optimistic of an eventual merger between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf following a new report of a stalemate in negotiations to reunify the game. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/04/04/more-sports/trump-wants-golf-merger/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #donaldtrump #livgolf #pgatour #pif #jaymonahan
Trump is promoting his properties with his presidential seal displayed at FII Institute's Invest With Purpose conference in Miami
FII is founded by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF)
In one session Jared Kushner and Trump's Mideast envoy (& crypto biz partner in World Liberty Financial) Steven Witkoff will discuss: "Is a new era of US-Middle East economic cooperation dawning?"

Trump's EO to create a US sovereign wealth fund says it will “invest in great national endeavors” - but does not mention foreign investments
Similar funds - Saudi's PIF, UAE's Mubadala, Russia's RDIF are a key part of buying influence for corrupt governments
This will likely be a massive citizen-funded slush fund for Trump's admin to curry favor with US and foreign governments and oligarchs without the spending oversight of congress
Saudi Arabia: Nearly Trillion-Dollar Public Investment Fund (PIF) controlled by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is Linked to Abuses

At least 99% of the roughly $3B invested came from overseas, including $2B from #SaudiArabia’s Public Investment Fund [#PIF].
Most of the rest comes from the sovereign wealth funds of #Qatar & the #UAE, as well as a chunk from #TerryGou, Taiwan billionaire & founder of Foxconn, the world’s largest electronics contract manufacturer.
But there is a 5th “mystery foreign investor Affinity has declined to identify,” acc/to the letter the cmte sent this week.
Una triste gioia.
Una serie bellissima.
Una storia di onesta', ingiustizia, e tantissimo amore.

In the meantime I want to mention another pivotal instrument to achieve an authentic #BonkWave sound (while simultaneously sounding nothing like it):
A short while ago I watched a great video by @dhilowitz on how he acquired an adorable Soviet #synth featuring French cartoon character #Pif that was made in and sold to him from #Ukraine:

He even made a free instrument for his #DecentSampler out of it, so I just had to download and use it for its haunting pad sound.

Senator Wyden Introduces Bills Revoking PGA Tour’s Tax Exemption, Saudi Public Investment Fund’s Special Tax Break
Finance Chairman: “An organization that betrays its own word and agrees to become a profit generator for Saudi Arabia’s brutal regime has disqualified itself for a tax exemption.”

Saudi Arabia to launch multibillion-dollar sports investment group, to expand its push into football, golf, tennis, etc, by $650 billion Public Investment Fund.
LIV & Newcastle won't fall under the new company.
More sportswashing of human rights abuses.
The company chaired by Prince Mohammed has a $38bn war chest, has spent almost $8bn on acquisitions, snapping up among others the US-based games developer Scopely for $5bn.

Reprehensible Billionaire Buyout!
PGA sells out to the Saudis, avoids discovery associated with LIV litigation. Didn’t #Musk and #Murdock do this to avoid depositions too?
“On Tuesday, the #PGA Tour announced that it would merge with #LIV. Why would the PGA Tour merge with LIV, a tour that has struggled mightily to attract fans and sponsors? Money. “

Why aren’t we talking more about Trump’s business with the Saudis?
Good question from @pbump
Or as you ask more specifically, why isn't the Republican-led House Oversight Committee talking more about Trump's business with the Saudis?

I don't know why, but I just had an earworm for The Witch by The Rattles and I needed to put it on YouTube to satisfy my brain's desire for it. I can't really blame my brain; it is an absolutely cracking tune, even if the accompanying video looks more like a 1970s British Public Information Film warning about the danger of hippies in woodland.
