"Flannery Associates LLC has spent around $800million buying swathes of land around the base"

With another ten percent for the "Big Guy."

As soon as I saw the picture, I knew it was Travis, since I was stationed there for 4 years.

There are many countries in the world that severely restrict the ownership of real property by foreigners.
This seems to make a lot of sense as does the policy of carefully vetting those who wish to come into the country.

Oh wait...about that southern border thing...

No....it’s a shell, within a shell...within a shell. I spent five minutes looking at it, and you can obviously tell that it’s a non-US group with lots of money. Where it leads to? Unknown.

I suspect if you used Delaware judges...they’d eventually drop you to one level down....probably at least three different companies. Then those would lead onto another couple each.

If you scan value of the purchased property, it’s in the one-billion range. I’d take a guess...Chinese, Russian Oligarch, Saudis, or some Soros group.

Just a suggestion, I think one intention is to drill around the USAF property and then sue in some environmental situation for contamination and force the base to close down.

USAF? Has it taken over the responsibilities of the FBI and the CIA? If so that could be good news for America!

“Flannery, registered in Delaware” Hmmm, maybe it’s the Big Guy.

Are the illegal aliens that come from China gravitating toward this land?

Doubtful it’s a mystery and more like they’re not looking all that hard. You can’t purchase 55,000 acres incognito.

Every parcel purchase has signatures on paperwork and signatures lead back to people. Even if it’s under an acting POA someone hired them.

Probably Donna Chang.

Or a group made up of real Chinese, funded by the Chinese government.

This thread sure could use some positive waves.

>>>'Nobody can figure out who they are,' Ronald Kott, mayor of nearby Rio Vista, which is now largely surrounded by Flannery land, told The Journal. 'Whatever they're doing - this looks like a very long-term play.'<<<

It's a mystery.

>>>amid security fears it may be connected to a hostile power<<

Be funny if this were a Trump operation. $800 mil -- drop in the bucket for a certain real estate mogul.

Micah 4:

... and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.

Recorded as O'Flannery and Flannery, this ancient Irish surname was originally a nickname. It derives from the words "flann" meaning red and "abrha" - an eyebrow! From this it is easy to deduce that the original chieftain was a man with prominent red eyebrows, and probably a Viking.

If Americans start squatting on the land, I bet they’ll make themselves known quickly.

Amazing how many mysteries surround the regime of the Obamas, Bidens, Clintons, etc.

Yet they can laser-in on flycrap regarding Trump.

The big Wash. D.C. law firm representing Fallnery is known, and the USAF is unable to drag any specific information out of them; doesn’t seem plausible.
