“As the groups became suspicious, [James] Fortune vanished
[...]
But the wired money came from a Georgia group with ties to a QAnon House candidate and a network of other Republican figures”

thedailybeast.com/liberal-groups…
“Right around the same time that Fortune was attempting to infiltrate progressive North Carolina groups, a so-called documentary film crew called “Zeitgeist Pictures” began interviewing six liberal groups in Wisconsin for what they claimed was a documentary about voting rights.”
“The groups became suspicious, though, after the filmmakers began asking whether the groups were willing to break the law to illegally register voters.
[...]
The activists interviewed by the crew [identified] one of their “interviewers” as O’Keefe associate Christian Hartsock”
Unlike the Wisconsin operation, the North Carolina scheme hasn’t been publicly linked to O’Keefe, and Project Veritas spokesman Neil W. McCabe said O’Keefe’s group won’t “comment on investigations, real or imagined.”
But on Monday, Project Veritas plans to release a video that O’Keefe claims will offer “UNDENIABLE VIDEO PROOF OF SYSTEMIC VOTER FRAUD.”

I think it’s important for people to see Ben Smith’s interview with Joe Kahn, Executive Editor of the New York Times, so I’m posting screenshots of the full article here.

The fact that he misrepresents and strawmans people’s issues with their reporting is really concerning.

I appreciate that @semaforben got Kahn to answer questions about this, but I’m also disappointed at the soft touch questions that tiptoe around elephants in the room, which IMO silently confirms that NYT is avoiding real accountability for any of this.

@semaforben At one point in the interview, after claiming that the NYT’s role is to inform the public, Kahn even admits that citizens are woefully uninformed or misinformed about highly important issues.

But then he walks right past it, making clear that isn’t really his priority at all.

I try my best not to weigh in on topics that I’m not well versed on, and don’t weigh in on divisive, emerging events until I can share what I believe is reliable info. The same goes for the Palestine protests.

If anyone cares about my personal views, I will say this much.

/1
What is happening in Gaza is a humanitarian nightmare. I blame Netanyahu, Likud, and the right wing extremists who control the government.

They are Israel’s Trump and MAGA. Bibi is corrupt. His actions harm Israel on the world stage. An authoritarian who inflames divisions.

/2
I believe Bibi let the people of Israel down. He shuffled funds to Hamas to keep Gaza & the West Bank divided b/c he wants to undermine the very idea that Palestinians should have their own state.

He pulled resources to help extremists push more settlements, ensuring a 10/7.

I’m not the target audience but this essay is dishonest; it reads like an attempt to lock in right wing judicial gains under pretense of principle.

Disappointing from Luttig.

If the “conservative” legal movement can’t survive without these damaging myths… maybe it shouldn’t?
.@greggnunziata apparently doesn’t want anyone to notice the corrupting influence that Citizens United and dark money-funded astroturfing have had - from the Tea Party to Clarence Thomas.

And those who recognize it are “liberals” trying to “recklessly delegitimize” the Court.

@greggnunziata Originalism and textualism were an attempt to create a “denomination” in the legal field that transformed the constitution into a religious text - one that “liberals” (i.e. everyone else) simply aren’t qualified to interpret.

And only *they* can now fix… the rest of America. Image

NEW: Ten women who escaped the Kingston Clan have filed a lawsuit detailing a sex trafficking cult, forced incestuous marriages, child labor, schemes to defraud governments.

Left: Today’s article:



Right: July, 2020 - Don Jr with a prominent member:

It is difficult to describe all of the criminal and other entanglements surrounding this cult.

Below is a thread with a lot more background, that I have added to over time.

You’ll notice the massive fraud scheme. Today’s lawsuit says defrauding govts was part of a strategy:

Lev Dermen and multiple members of the Kingston family were sentenced to years in federal prison for conducting a nearly decade-long tax fraud scheme described as “one of the largest ever.”

A former FBI agent was also sentenced to prison for helping them evade the law.

Big story - maybe moreso in the context of Ronna’s ouster from RNC.

Superfeed, originally a news/media platform created by 7 Mountains follower Floyd Brown, passed to Jeff Dewit, connected to TPUSA, is now being used by swing state GOP orgs - almost zero records of payments.
Read full article👆

Superfeed is used by Lindell for people to snitch about “voter fraud;” used by Scott Presler for GOTV; now being used by multiple state GOP Party orgs…

But it’s also the company Dewit paid Kari Lake through, until she recorded him.

Provided for free???

Remember, NBC recently reported that Charlie Kirk influenced Trump’s decision to oust Ronna.

And one of the biggest complaints from insiders was that Kirk was redirecting RNC money for his own ends.

And when GOP orgs move to Superfeed, 👉the RNC no longer owns the data.👈
