DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - Institutional left-wing populism is Communism. And that means China, Iran, and other hostile foreign governments are involved. Full stop. 
There are some principled individual left-wing populists. But any meaningful network is fundamentally foreign Communist.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - He isn’t working with Google right now. I doubt Google had anything to do with this.

DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican - . @nickshirleyy listen to Larry. He’s a veteran in those things and has written books on it. He was the one who showed me how to get into the most exclusive conference in the world, WEF.

Oh, my, this is not the way to do it.  
I was in Cuba and, like Nick, I had a run-in with the police.
BUT I didn’t do it like this.
As a veteran of this game, here are some rules I follow when in totalitarian states:
1. Don’t tweet in real time. Post you’re in one country while you’re actually in another, and post nothing negative about your host country until you’re safely out of it. There’s not a cop in the world who doesn’t love harassing a smug American.
2. If you’re doing something illegal, make sure it’s vital to your purpose. Don’t get arrested for something stupid (e.g., Otto Warmbier stealing a poster in North Korea).
3. Be friendly even when provoked. Americans often forget they aren’t in America, and when an injustice is done to them they react angrily. Don’t.
4. When questioned by police, stick to the truth as nearly as possible as they seldom ask questions to which they don’t already know the answers. (PRO TIP: You can often discern the degree to which you’re in harm’s way by who is questioning you: If they’re young, junior officers, they’ll probably ask for a selfie and let you go; If, however, they’re older, grizzled senior officers, you’re only a step or two from a black hole.)
5. Keep your answers brief, even one word if possible. For example:
“Why are you here?”
“Tourism.”
“You like Russia?”
“Yes.”
“What do you like about it?”
“Borscht.”
I hate borscht, but you get the point. I’ve been with Americans who, under questioning, couldn’t shut up and revealed damning details.
6. NEVER surrender your passport. This is the oldest trick in the book for detaining you without seeming to detain you.
7. Never enter a place illegally. People ask me how I got into the WEF or the USAID compound in Cairo or some other place. Simple. I walked through the front doors like I owned it and no one dared question me.
Why is this important?
Because if they are outraged that you breached their security and level threats of arrest, your defense is obvious and almost certainly on film: You let me in!
8. Hide in plain sight. When people are up to something, they typically look suspicious. Unnatural behavior will give you away. Watch how ordinary people look when they’re just going from Point A to Point B and practice it. If you see police, instead of avoiding them—which is suspicious as hell—approach and ask for directions.
