WATCH: Colony Ridge CEO John Harris claimed that cartel concerns were 'laughable' and that there was not a crime problem at the development. Then the feds busted multiple cartel members just days later, blowing a hole through the narrative from their public relations team.🧵
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
The video was produced by Colony Ridge's PR team, Rascon Media Group, just days before the cartel captures. One illegal alien arrest led to the capture of a man believed to be tied to the CJNG. And then an MS-13 member led police on a manhunt after allegedly killing a man.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Rascon Media Group offers 'image control' services. “Rascon Media Group knows image control for a difficult situation and the formula to improve a shattered reputation.” 118 illegal aliens, including child sex offenders and murderers, were captured at Colony Ridge Monday.

EXCLUSIVE: A Texas land developer admitted that the Colony Ridge business model relies on selling land to unqualified foreign buyers: "We will not be able to sell our developments if each of our buyers have to have SS#’s." I obtained his stunning admissions🧵
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Scot Campbell is the dad of Colony Ridge’s loan servicer and the former chairman of the Texas Land Developers Association. He admitted that it would "kill our industry" if "we have to qualify each buyer as to the buyer’s ability to repay" and check social security numbers.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
He also appeared to confirm that developments like Colony Ridge sell land to illegal aliens, writing “it was President Biden that opened the flood gates and allowed millions of people in without identification and no jobs.” Colony Ridge tells buyers to "own land in the U.S."
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Campbell claimed that regulations would "make our future resale of foreclosed lots worth a lot less … because we will all be fighting over a few qualified buyers.” Months later, Colony Ridge would be accused by the DOJ of churning buyers through a cycle of foreclosure.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Campbell wrote this email to the leadership of the TLDA, which lobbies on behalf of seller-finance companies, after @realDailyWire dropped our first Colony Ridge investigation. He called our investigation ‘an attack on our industry’ despite seemingly confirming my report.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
But Campbell has ties to Colony Ridge — his daughter Gayle Campbell runs Loan Originator Services LLC, which processed loans for Colony Ridge and had office space in the development’s building. She was named, but then dismissed, from the DOJ-CFPB lawsuit against Colony Ridge.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
TLDA also shares lobbyist Chuck Rice with Colony Ridge, and he was one of the recipients of Campbell’s email. Rice has raked in as much as $368k from Colony Ridge and its lawyer and as much as $1.1 million from the TLDA, which appears to be his largest client.

EXCLUSIVE: Dr. Richard Ogden Roberts runs the controversial child sex-change program at Texas Children’s Hospital. But there is a deeper story: he’s connected to a network of trans activists and pharma corporations profiting from “trans medicine.” Here’s what I uncovered 🧵
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Roberts teamed up with gender activists last year to sue Texas to kill a law protecting kids from sex changes. Here’s GLMA, an activist group that counts Roberts as a member. It joined the lawsuit and it is backed by pharmaceutical lobbyist PhRMA. The story goes deeper:
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Who profits from sex changes on kids? PhRMA lobbies for giants including Abbvie, Pfizer, Bayer, and others producing the puberty blockers and cross-sex hormone drugs used on children. They also funded a national campaign to embed transgender ideology into America’s hospitals.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
The suit included PFLAG, an extreme organization that made a trans book list for kids featuring ‘I am Jazz’ about a trans two year old. PFLAG took money from Abbvie, which makes a drug used to chemically castrate sex offenders— and now to block puberty in kids.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Big pharma’s fingerprints are all over the gender activists suing Texas. They’re also funding the legal group representing them. The Transgender Law Center represented Roberts in court. TLC also pushes for their ‘Trans Agenda for Liberation.’ Paid for by Pfizer and Bayer.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
But this isn’t all about the money — Roberts appears to be a true believer in transgender ideology. Here he is admitting on camera that he suggests children should adopt a trans-affirming name behind their parent’s backs.

WATCH🎥: The U.S. Air Force Academy hosted a transgender Pentagon official for a symposium on inclusion. Our military is focused on transgender dogma while wars rage on two continents. Here he is at a pride celebration calling for "intentional inclusivity" in the military 🧵
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Lt. Col. Bree Fram is a member of the Air Force LGBTQ+ Initiatives Team, which is “dedicated to eliminating barriers to LGBTQ+ military service in the Air and Space Force.” He's also the former president of a non-profit that embeds gender ideology in our military.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
He addressed the Air Force Academy, encouraging members of the armed services to “be allies by standing with and supporting marginalized communities … and advocates by speaking out and raising awareness on issues.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NGVPO9m75k
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Fram is apparently concerned over the potential reelection of Trump: “While I don’t have a crystal ball, I can look out and say, ‘Well, either next year things will be great or I will be fighting for my ability to continue serving,'” Trump has signaled he will Fire Woke Feds:
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸

LEAKED NSA DOCUMENT📄: We just published a never-before-seen @NSAGov “diversity glossary” in my new exclusive investigation with @realdailywire. It blames “White Europeans” for “settler colonialism," attacks "white fragility," and warns of “transmisogyny.” THREAD 🧵
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
It lists 327 DEI terms over 34 pages, with words like “ze/zir,” “whiteness” and “pansexual.” The definition for “settler colonialism” blames “white European occupations of land in what is now the United States," for leading to "oppressive governance" and "white supremacy."
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
It includes a definition for Critical Race Theory and cites Robin DiAngelo's white fragility,” which it says serves to “reinstate white racial equilibrium.” There’s also “white privilege,” “white supremacy,” and “decolonization,” along with five different types of racism.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
But America's premier intelligence agency isn't just citing anti-white Critical Race Theorists like DiAngleo and Kendi. It also went all-in on gender ideology. Here's "transmisogny," "two spirit," and "female-bodied," a "problematic" term that "genders bodies nonconsensually."
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
There's also “pansexual,” a term that the NSA says “deliberately rejects the gender binary” and originates from the “transgender movement.” Then there's the mind-boggling phrases “male-to-male” and “female-to-female.” You have to read it to believe it.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Representative @michaelgwaltz, a member of the House Intelligence Committee, confirmed the document’s authenticity. “It is disturbing this is what the senior leadership of one of our most critical intelligence agencies is worried about when we literally have the world on fire.”
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
“This isn’t some kind of diversity document, with terms like white fragility and definitions of whiteness and ‘ze’ and ‘zir’ in, say, the Small Business Administration,” Waltz told me. This ideological capture is happening at "one of the most powerful agencies in the world."
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
He’s also concerned that this ideological capture could harm civilian oversight attempts. If America's institutions are racist, do they have the moral legitimacy to oversee the NSA, a powerful agency that's already been caught spying on Americans en masse?
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
The NSA's definition for "Neo-liberalism" makes the intention of the document abundantly clear. Nestled between "neocolonization" and "non-binary," the NSA argues that liberalism impedes "social justice and equity."

@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Have you heard about America’s ‘largest illegal immigrant settlement’ that's said to be a hub of cartel activity? I visited Colony Ridge for @realDailyWire to learn about a development that's home to 40k-75k people and is in the midst of a rapid expansion. Here's what I found:
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Colony Ridge sprawls across nearly 60 square miles — about the size of Washington DC — and is 40 miles outside Houston. Much of CR is a 3rd world shanty town, where foreign flags outnumber American ones. But how do we know that it's a hotbed for illegal aliens? Let me show you.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
CR goes by "Terrenos Houston" on Instagram, where marketing materials are entirely in Spanish. Here's a post where they tell buyers to "own land in the 'Estados Unidos'" and reach out on WhatsApp, an app tailored for international comms. And it gets worse.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
For a company allegedly selling American real estate to Americans, they seem to have A LOT of foreign nationals in Latin America working for them. Check out their LinkedIn profile. Why would Colombians sell American land to Americans? Here's where it gets serious...
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Developer William 'Trey' Harris III admits in this Center Square article that buyers can purchase land with ITINs. Pro-illegal alien groups like the Soros-funded National Immigration Law Center boast that ITINs are a 'powerful tool' for illegal immigrants who want a mortgage.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
The area is also said to be a strategic hub for the Gulf and Sinaloa cartels 400 miles north of the border, with law enforcement telling @BensmanTodd that both were early investors. CR could eventually accommodate 200k people, with cartel elements undoubtedly blending in.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
But what about Trey Harris, the developer behind Colony Ridge? Harris is a big political donor, giving $1.4 million to Gov. Abbott's campaign while his wife gave another $100k.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Meet State Rep. Ernest Bailes, who represents the district where Colony Ridge is located. He took $1,800 from Harris, and his case is interesting. His biggest donor is Randy Ellis — he owns the earthwork and clearing company employed by Colony Ridge.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
I cross referenced obituaries to find that Bailes and Ellis appear to be cousins. But Bailes appears to be more deeply connected to Colony Ridge. He got $9k from the PAC for Entergy, the energy company that services Colony Ridge. And if that wasn't interesting enough....
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Bailes got another $6,500 from the PAC for Coat and Rose, the law firm that Trey Harris has paid over $100k to for lobbying services. Bailes has yet to respond to request for comment. But Harris has donated to other politicians as well.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Harris gave $5k to State Rep. Briscoe Cain and three maximum donations to Congressman Morgan Luttrell. Luttrell told The Daily Wire that he "just recently" learned about CR and is concerned about “cartel presence,” “gang activity,” and “trafficking.” As for the donations?
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
Comms personnel for Luttrell said he is "not beholden to anybody," but his campaign has not yet responded to my inquiry, where I asked if they would return the donations from Harris or reject donations in the future. What risks does Colony Ridge pose, and what can be done?
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
"It’s got an enormous footprint. In the three years since I last saw it, it looks like it’s pretty much doubled in size,” @RepBrianBabin, who recently flew over CR, told The Daily Wire. “There is word that the cartels are playing a role in this area.”
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
The @CIS_org's @BensmanTodd told The Daily Wire that "When people buy here, they’re buying peace of mind from law enforcement.” “The Mexican cartels are very active in that they run safe houses, they run drugs, they do marijuana grows, they commit crimes."
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
He explained that Colony Ridge “is in the midst of maybe its greatest boom ever.” Bensman believes this is a Homeland Security issue, and has called on Congress to investigate the growing development.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
@Michael_Yon told us that Colony Ridge isn't just a development, but that instead we're witnessing the creation of a city that may eventually hold 200,000 people, an untold number of whom will be in our country illegally.
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
@ChrisWRusso of @StrongBordersTX called for a “full scale investigation into the development,” warning that this business model could potentially be adopted elsewhere in Texas and across America. “When you see the expansion it suggests this is a very profitable enterprise.”
@SpencerLndqst - Spencer Lindquist 🇺🇸
I spoke with @JMichaelWaller, who explained “This is going to be cartel land near Houston and at risk of being a no-go zone.” He warned that similar developments could be “planted in pockets around the country.”
