Corrupt neocon influencer was paid to Tweet

View in browser
You will know the name Dinesh D'Souza from his books and documentaries. He gained notoriety in his college days for his work on the Dartmouth Review.

I brought Dinesh to speak at Harvard during my own student days, and he and I had a long conversation before the event. He performed a service with his book Illiberal Education, whose points may seem commonplace now but which were not widely known at the time. He has cited my work. I want to like him.

And then a day or two ago he posted an attack on Thomas Massie that showed the betting markets now betting against him (that has since turned back around now that everyone realizes the big scandalous story is nothing at all).

The worst part: Dinesh was paid to post it.

How do I know? The words "paid partnership" in small letters on his post.

Grok confirms:
If the only way you can think to monetize a Twitter account is by literally taking money to post what other people want you to say, then you really needed to join my online mastermind program that I promoted this week.

I can tell you right now, I have never accepted and would never accept money in exchange for writing a social media post. That is disgusting and corrupt.

I then saw a lady arguing that Massie "votes with Democrats 99% of the time." Grok, the Twitter/X AI, was called upon to adjudicate this claim, which of course is false. In fact, I hadn't known this myself: Massie voted with Biden less often than anyone else in the entire House of Representatives: just 1.8 percent of the time.

After that, I came across a post by Dana Loesch, claiming that Marjorie Taylor Greene got rich while in office, presumably by disreputable means: "
I think it's funny how you accuse everyone *else* of taking money but never explain how your personal net worth exploded specifically while you were in Congress."

But her personal net worth, which is traceable to her ownership in a construction company, did not "explode" while she was in Congress, and her financial history has been an open matter of public record.

Now there's blame enough to go around, and I'm sure my side is badly behaved from time to time, too. Heck, I myself am badly behaved sometimes. But I don't do stuff like this.

Still, the world of influencer-based social media is full of drama: people (like Dinesh) on the take, people spreading falsehoods about their enemies, accounts that adopt the most outlandish opinions possible in exchange for clicks and attention.

Completely drama-free, on the other hand, is my options account, now going strong for a year and a half.

Not in a million years did I ever expect to do anything like this, and I had all the newbie objections (too risky, too good to be true, I'll be glued to a computer screen all day, etc.).

When I first promoted Low Stress Options, a bunch of my longtime followers (who sure are happy now) joined on the basis of my recommendation. The YouTube comments section, by contrast, was filled with people calling me a scammer, etc.

LOL.

Now that over a year has gone by and all I have are success stories and people telling me their lives are permanently changed for the better, those jerks are nowhere to be found. The satisfaction has been truly delicious: the folks who trusted ol' Woods prospered. The people hurling insults at me...did not.

At a recent event at the home of Troy Broussard, the creator of the program, I got a group picture of just that portion of attendees who were Woods readers (you can see little Henry in there):
Those people look happy because they are.

About a thousand people inside the community belong to what I call the "Woods Caucus," and every one of them is beyond happy to be there, aiming for their stress-free and boring one percent a week that sure adds up over time.


Curious? You certainly should be.

A quick note about me

I’m the founder of MaxDividends and an active dividend investor. Let me introduce myself and share a bit about my background.

The idea of building passive income usually hits us when we realize we’re no longer in our twenties. For me, that moment came around age 35. I don’t plan to run a business forever—I have big ambitions in other areas of life as well.

I love writing, blogging, and sharing my experiences. Retiring early, before 50, is my main goal now.

A decade ago, I started investing in growth stocks. Over time, the returns from those investments, combined with my past savings, have allowed me to begin executing my planned strategy.

No one wants to work forever, and as the years go by the question of financial security only gets louder — can we really enjoy life in retirement without having to pick up another job just to pay the bills?

That’s exactly why MaxDividends exists: the MaxDividends Income System, powered by our dividend intelligence app — a proven, safe financial engine that turns invested capital into growing dividend income so you can live off dividends and retire early on your own terms.

In the early years, I focused primarily on growth stocks. However, in recent years—especially in the past few months—I’ve shifted more towards high-yield, dividend-growing stocks.

❤️ My Family ❤️

At this stage in my life, predictable growing passive income is more important than the long-term price appreciation of stocks, because I plan to live off the dividends.

🙏 To focus on what we love, we need stop worrying about daily expenses. For me, the solution was creating a growing passive income stream through dividend stocks.

But it didn’t happen by chance—it took the right system, the right tools, and the right environment.

I found the answer for myself—and now I’m sharing that proven experience with you through a complete, all-in-one ecosystem built around the MaxDividends Income System. It’s supported by the MaxDividends App, helping you identify high-yield and consistently growing dividend stocks, and reinforced by the MaxDividends Community—a group of like-minded investors working toward reliable income and long-term financial peace of mind.

I use this exact approach to build my own dividend income and work toward living off dividends and retiring early. And now, I share this step-by-step method with you—so you can follow a clear path to the same goal.

In the next emails, I’ll share several truly powerful insights on how to invest in stocks to grow your passive income and build a life funded by dividends—the MaxDividends way.

These ideas will either strengthen your current plan—or become the foundation for a whole new one.

My Passive Income Always Grows

No matter if I keep investing or not. Dividends are guaranteed income. Price growth is potential income.

Am I out walking with my kids? My dividends are growing. Is the oil market shifting, and now isn’t the right time to invest, so you're waiting? My income just grew again.

Do you see that amazing magic?

My current monthly dividend income

Every month, every week, every day—while I sleep, eat, shower, walk, or write this post—my income keeps rising.

Last week, my income increased four times. Not bad? No, it’s fantastic. Feels great. Just snap your fingers! And more dollars land in my pocket.

I truly enjoy this way of investing.

My Today: I’ve Already Started Living Off Dividends

At 40, I’ve already started living off dividends. My passive income from stock dividends already exceeds my daily expenses and continues to grow every month thanks to MaxDividends Strategy of investing!

 

I’ll share my journey with you—and walk you through every step and key element of what actually works.

My step-by-step methodology is designed to help you reach the same ultimate goal: financial freedom. And over time, with consistency and patience, you’ll start to see the powerful dividend snowball effect take shape.

Buckle up—what’s coming next is going to be incredibly valuable and packed with insights you won’t want to miss.

With MaxDividends Community you’ll always be part of a winning team and stop viewing the future as an uncertainty. Worry will fade, replaced by confidence and peace of mind. You’ll focus on doing what you love while your passive income continues to grow.

We follow our time-tested strategy for tapping into overlooked dividend plays that can make your portfolio more resistant to recessions and other market panics and pack on consistent gains for years to come.

Choosing a strong environment is the key to achieving outstanding results. If you surround yourself with people who dream bigger than you, you increase your chances of reaching greater heights. Surround yourself only with those who will support you on your path to success.

In the next email, I’ll show you a simple 4-step checklist to quickly see how close you really are to living off dividends—and what might be holding you back.
