Ronald Lauder, the Estee Lauder heir who convinced Trump to pursue Greenland in 2017, is increasingly moving from talk to action. Through a Delaware-registered company called Greenland Development Partners, Lauder has quietly purchased stakes in Greenlandic companies. The broader claim is that this is economic infiltration disguised as investment, with Lauder’s business partners in Greenland described as some of the country’s most influential people with close ties to Greenland’s foreign minister, Vivian Motzfeldt. Greenland Development Partners is portrayed as an opaque Delaware investment consortium. Delaware is described as “the Shell company's capital of America, where you can hide ownership structures and avoid scrutiny.” Danish newspaper Politikens Investigation is cited as labeling Laura (Lauder) as a key participant in the consortium, which has bought stakes in two Greenlandic firms, including Greenland Water Bank. Greenland Water Bank is owned by Svein Hardenbair and Sverdrupijn. Hardenbair is a former civil servant adviser to Greenland’s prime minister until recently and was also the director of Greenland’s national energy company. Jan Beboj Johansson is highlighted as particularly interesting. He is a former minister in several Greenlandic governments and chairs the governing Ziomoot party in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital. Ziomoot is one of the four parties in Greenland’s current coalition government. The crucial point is that Johansson’s wife is Vivian Motzfeldt, the foreign minister of Greenland, who handles foreign relations, including relations with the United States. The alleged linkage is that Ronald Lauder, described as Trump’s friend and advisor on Greenland, is now in business with Johansson’s wife’s husband, i.e., the Greenland Foreign Minister’s husband. The narrative asserts this is not merely investment but influence at the highest level. Greenland Water Bank may appear small and harmless. Its 2024 accounts show minimum staffing costs of about $5,500 and a modest financial loss. The company bottles water from the Lingmar Spring in Krakataswak on Disko Island, selling locally under the brand Emilik. Up to 2024, ownership was shared between Hardenbair and Beboj Johansson, before part of their shares were sold to Lauder’s investor group. Hardenbair explains to Pulchikung (Poltikken/Politiken) that the investment is not primarily about the money, but about gaining better access to the luxury market where their water should be a natural part. They believed the water was among the best in the world. The stated expectation is that Lauder’s involvement would grant access to the American luxury market for Greenland Water Bank’s premium water. The question raised is what Lauder receives in return: a pressure point and a foothold into Greenland’s top elite, enabling direct business relationships with politically connected Greenlanders. The narrative suggests funds could flow to Sven and Jorn (Johansson) through Greenland Water Bank as salaries, bonuses, or in Forms such as business trips, luxury offices, boats, or cars, all paid by investments from Lauder. The scale of Lauder’s wealth is mentioned as $5,000,000,000 USD, with Lauder reportedly able to mobilize $10,000,000 for ventures. The central controversy remains the connection to Greenland’s Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt, who previously served on Greenland Water Bank’s board. Her husband’s involvement via Johansson’s alliance with Lauder is presented as a potential conflict of interest, given Lauder’s influence on Greenland’s political and economic landscape.

Linda and Stuart Resnick control over 60% of California's water rights, amassing wealth through their agricultural business, the Wonderful Company, known for pomegranate juice and pistachios. They consume over 150 billion gallons of water annually. Water was once a public right but changed after a secret meeting in 1994, prioritizing agricultural needs over citizens. As the largest farmers in California, the Resnicks receive the most water. They also sell water back to the county, but this "paper water" often doesn't reflect actual availability. This ongoing issue has persisted for years with little change, prompting calls to boycott the Wonderful Company for its impact on California and beyond.

Experts have warned of a coming water crisis, possibly already spurring conflicts due to scarcity. While Earth appears to be a blue planet, 98% of its water is saline, with much of the fresh water locked in glaciers. The available fresh water is unevenly distributed, and reservoirs are being depleted. Big Tech's growing demand for water is exacerbating the problem, though this is intentionally kept secret. The speaker investigated Big Tech's water consumption and its potential disastrous consequences. This video you are watching is brought to you by water. Data centers, which host massive amounts of data, require vast amounts of water for cooling. An average data center consumes up to 5 million gallons of water daily, equivalent to the usage of 50,000 people in an American city.

A company backed by a billionaire hedge fund is attempting to drill 30 industrial wells into the Carrizo Wilcox Aquifer in rural East Texas, potentially extracting 15 billion gallons of water per year. This water would be piped out of the area and sold, while local communities that rely on the aquifer would face depleted water levels and dry wells. The well drilling company hired for the project is owned by Donald A. Foster, who until recently, served on the groundwater district board responsible for reviewing the permits. Public records allegedly do not show Foster recusing himself from discussions or votes regarding the project, except for one vote in April 2025. He was present during discussions of this project and even participated in closed sessions where this project was discussed. Foster resigned from the board the day before a public hearing on the issue.

Investigative Journalist Nate Halverson | This Past Weekend w/ Theo Von #510
Guests: Nate Halverson
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Nate Halverson describes The Grab as an investigative look at how money and power are concentrating control over food, land, and water across the world. The goal, he says, is to show that in the 21st century the rich and powerful are turning to food and water as strategic levers, with governments, Wall Street, and billionaires like the Gates family emerging as owners of large tracts of farmland in the United States. Halverson, an independent writer and Center for Investigative Reporting contributor, broke ground years earlier by examining China’s move into the world’s pork market. He traveled to Hong Kong, spoke with US intelligence, and found that the Chinese government was behind the Virginia pork company acquisition, illustrating a pattern: food is political power. He notes that food has become a national security concern. In Venezuela, he witnessed food riots, lines to enter grocery stores, and a warehouse where soldiers and police carted out food to be distributed to authorities in order to keep the population in line. As he followed stories around the globe, he saw dots connect: land grabs in Madagascar, arid Saudi Arabia tapping aquifers to grow wheat in the desert and then shipping alfalfa to meet domestic needs; and the same logic applying to pigs and grain, creating what he calls “virtual water” — moving water through crops and animals to feed populations elsewhere. In the Arizona example he covered in 2015, Saudi purchases of land and water created anxiety for locals whose wells were dropping. He explains the law in parts of the West that allows large buyers to pump water without regard to neighbors, so water can be exported as crops. He emphasizes that 70-80% of global fresh water is used to grow food, while drinking water accounts for a fraction, making water the critical resource behind food production. Halverson argues this trend is not confined to distant places. Across the United States, smaller farms are increasingly being bought by Wall Street funds or foreign entities, with foreign ownership of agricultural land growing but poorly tracked. He cites a United Nations World Water Development Report statistic that billions lack safe drinking water or sanitation, while oceans of water are extracted to feed crops. Africa, he says, has seen aggressive land grabs by international players displacing indigenous families, a pattern echoed in the American West and other regions. He discusses the broader geopolitics: China’s rise as a manufacturing power, Russia’s emergence as a food exporter, and Ukraine as a strategic breadbasket. The documentary also touches on the ethics of private influence in journalism, technology, and food systems. He explains his nonprofit funding through the Center for Investigative Reporting, the importance of corroboration and multiple sources, and the value of public information for democracy. He ends with reflections on community, purpose, and the need to foster real connections beyond screens.
