BAD BONES—Heidi Siegmund Cuda looks beyond the mild-mannered exterior of US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson to find connections to religious extremism, Russian oligarchs, violent rhetoric, and sexual assaulters

My investigation for @Byline_Media on the creepy world of Mike

1/
“The kingdom of God allows for aggression—and there’s a time to every purpose under heaven. From the time of John the Baptist until today, the kingdom of God has been advancing by forceful men and forceful men take hold of it, that’s what the New Testament says.”—Mike Johnson

In watching archival videos of Speaker Mike Johnson, a Louisiana Republican second in line for the presidency after the Vice President, I notice some curious tics.

WITCH SWITCH—It was decades in the making. A cruel and sinister plot to turn the Republican party’s base into single-issue voters. As long as candidates professed to be anti-abortion, it didn’t matter if they left a trail of corruption littered with hush money and hypocrisy. 

1/
On June 24, 2022, the GOP got its wish, as the MAGA wing of the Supreme Court overturned fifty years of federal protection for a woman’s right to abortion, which really was about health care as people quickly learned. 
I recall tweeting the moment I heard the news of Roe that “birds still sing under fascism”.

2/
I had written years worth of warnings with Sian Norris in Byline Times of what was to come, and when it happened, I recall sitting in stunned silence, as a chorus of things with wings tried to comfort me with birdsong.

Ethane — the company that paid @SpeakerJohnson — was majority owned by three Russian nationals: Konstantin Nikolaev, Mikhail Yuriev, and Andrey Kunatbaev.
We know Konstantin Nikolaev
financed Russian spy Butina.

Konstantin Nikolaev also co-owns a large Russian ammunition producing company — supplying massive amounts of ammunition to kill Ukrainians.

Dear @POTUS,

Throughout our history, when faced with a threat to our Republic, to the United States of America, we have always come together to defeat it. Every time.

We are asking you as our leader in this grave moment to address the nation about the need to unite against a new threat coming from our adversaries – the threat of information warfare.

We are a target nation in an Invisible War. It is called cyberwar — or information warfare, also known as active measures — and it’s a pernicious type of threat because people may not even know it’s happening.

Instead of bullets or bombs, our enemies are using lies and deceit, half truths, falsehoods. They are using  psychological operations designed by foreign military intelligence — targeted to twist our minds, break our truth and destroy our reality — in an attempt to bring America to its knees.

1/
This invisible war has taken aim at our decency, our humanity, our kindness and empathy, and we regret to inform you — the enemy is hitting their target: all of us.

A country divided is a weakened country, but a country that comes together to stand in shared truth is a strong country, a world leader, a shining example of democracy in action, and the people that make that democracy work. We cannot be divided when the enemy is on our doorstep.

These attacks by enemies of democracy aim to coerce our citizens into bizarre and dangerous beliefs through weapons of mass psychological destruction, weapons largely created to benefit the Russian government.

It is our belief that once Americans hear this truth from you, they will recall that together — united — we can do wondrous things. During the Civil War, Americans defeated slavery and restored our Union. In World War II, we defeated the dark authoritarian forces of fascism both at home and abroad.

2/
The time is now, in this moment, to alert our nation. The effect information warfare is having on our citizens is wildly destructive and calls for violence are increasing.

It is important Americans know that forces of a very real evil are attempting to destroy our great nation and what it stands for. This is a new kind of battle, because our enemies are using technologies that didn’t exist in previous decades. 

This is a war for our hearts and for our minds — a war that rips apart families and divides our communities — that pits parents against their children and neighbor against neighbor — that weakens the US globally and is taking direct aim to tear this country apart. It is an attack on the very soul of America and the democracy which has sustained it.

Disinformation does more than simply misinform people. When weaponized, it can change people’s minds for them. It can make them believe in things that don’t exist. It can make them hate their fellow Americans. It divides families, churches and communities.

🚨The Cynical Plot to 'Demonize' Politics—A Q&A with ⁦@anelsona⁩

My intervu with ⁦@Byline_Media⁩ guest, writer Anne Nelson

“There was no logical way the Berlin resistance could see that Hitler would not be victorious—and yet they persisted.” bylinesupplement.com/p/the-cynical-…
Q&A

Heidi Siegmund Cuda: You have written extensively, not least in the Washington Spectator, on the rise of Christian Nationalism and the threat it poses to Democracy. Can you explain to our readers how your book Shadow Network came to inform the new documentary Bad Faith: Christian Nationalism’s Unholy War on Democracy.

1/
 badfaithdocumentary.com
Anne Nelson: Bad Faith’s director Stephen Ujlaki approached me about a documentary he was making. He was looking at various organizations involved in Christian nationalism. And he was very interested in my book Shadow Network, whose subtitle is ‘Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical Right’. Over the course of our interviews and our discussions, he came to recognize the importance of the coordination of organizations — the donors, their media systems, and their political strategists. He also was extremely interested in the role of the architect of the movement, Paul Weyrich. And so the film took a shape that I believe offers incredibly important context and complicity to our political situation...

BREAKING THE GOP DEATH GRIP—What Other Countries Defying Authoritarianism Can Teach the US

I turns to countries in Europe, Central America and Asia for examples of how to go on the offensive against the threat of rising authoritarianism.—⁦@Byline_Media bylinesupplement.com/p/breaking-the…
There is an unsettling feeling in the US of a weary nation obeying in advance. We’re exhausted. Those in the trenches exposing information warfare for the past seven years are admittedly tired. We see the same plays over and over again. We expose them as Russian active measures trafficked by cells of white supremacists over and over again.

1/
And each time, it’s like groundhog day, as another cynically staged horror event grabs the headlines. Americans then predictably divide between the shocked and the cheering, while a gal like me exposes the Kremlin-US Putinists pulling the strings.

Two years ago, I wrote about how the push for California to secede from the rest of the US was an operation run out of Moscow and championed by Russia’s favorite Congressman Dana Rohrabacher, who also looped in the bad boys of Brexit Nigel Farage and Arron Banks.
