Jay Sekulow is in the Council for National Policy (aka America’s Taliban), a networking & umbrella group for Religious Right zealots and billionaires. He’s as radical as they come. 1/
I wrote about the Council for National Policy here. I’m pretty sure someone else came up with the phrase “America’s Taliban.” It fits. 2/ extranewsfeed.com/americas-talib…
3/ The CNP has ties to many of the #HandMaidsTale freaks trying to take over the US.
Sidney Powell's "experts" were almost laughably lame. Her "military expert" code-named "Spyder" was a guy named Josh who never worked in military intelligence. Her intelligence expert was a pro-Trump podcaster named Maras who misappropriated $$$ she raised for the homeless. 1/
More on Sidney Powell's lame experts, including the guy w/ a doctorate who confused Michigan & Minnesota & thus combined their data together to "mistakenly" claim that more than 100% of registered voters had voted. And the other doctorate who didn't know Dominion from ES&S 2/
Altho Fox & others retracted some of this misinformation, propagandists know that first impressions are very difficult to eradicate. Unless the corrective info is repeated as often & w/ greater clarity than the lie, people tend to revert back to their initial faulty beliefs. 3/
The Rand Corporation has written about a Russian propaganda technique called the "firehose of falsehoods," which requires multiple channels to fool people & make lies stick. Trump & his "Stop the Steal" campaign relied on this technique. Thus, the rise of OANN, & Newsmax. 1/
Steve Bannon has bragged about using this technique. He calls it "flooding the zone with shit." 2/ vox.com/policy-and-pol…
3/ You can watch my full @noliesradio presentation--how disinformation fueled the #StopTheSteal campaign--here.
Trump and his allies wanted voters to think that the #StopTheSteal campaign arose organically. But it didn't. @JameMCorey obtained a video from FEBRUARY (before the election) where members of ALEC and the CNP got together to discuss how to attack the validity of a Trump loss. 1/

"[T]here are political technologies we are not educated in. Like manipulating protest movements, & controlling their opposition. Or in the development & weaponization of cults in service of political & social fragmentation." by @davetroy 1/ link.medium.com/cfGlQFwDydb

These notes, which Lance says are from a Morton Blackwell Leadership Institute course for young Republicans, say “less voters equates more results.” Naturally, Morton Blackwell is in the CNP. #VoterSuppression 😡 1/
3/ Here is a speech from the 1980s by Paul Weyrich, a CNP co-founder, where he says out loud that he doesn’t want everyone to vote because the GOP’s power goes up as the voting populous goes down. Everyone should listen to this. #VoterSuppression
Rs made gains in state legislatures in 2020. Even where manual audits are conducted, they rarely include state races. 😢
“Ds spent big to take control of state legislatures but lost their key targets. Now they’ll be on the sidelines as new maps are drawn” politico.com/news/2020/11/0…
2/ “Earlier this year, ... Republicans blocked federal legislation, the SAFE Act, which would have required such [manual] audits for most federal races.”
