How the CNP, a Republican Powerhouse, Helped Spawn Trumpism, Disrupted the Transfer of Power, and Stoked the Assault on the Capitol washingtonspectator.org/nelson-cnp/ One major player in the events leading up to the assault on the Capitol was the Council for National Policy #CNP
The #CNP adopted a three-pronged approach to enhancing Trump’s chances in November.
The first involved expanding their use of data to juice Republican votes and suppress Democratic turnout.
The second was to mobilize supporters in swing states to ignite Tea Party–like protests against the virus-related public safety lockdowns.
The third was to deploy physicians with dubious credentials to dismiss the dangers of Covid-19 through a massive media blitz
"Stop the Steal".....an operation run and coordinated by members of the Council for National Policy #CNP
"#CNP member Ginni (Mrs. Clarence) Thomas promoted the protest on her Twitter feed on January 6, tweeting, “Watch MAGA crowd today best with Right Side Broadcasting, and then C-Span for what the Congress does starting at 1:00 pm today. LOVE MAGA people!!!!”
What is irrefutable is that members of the #CNP and their circle exerted their influence and manipulated their followers to support Trump’s #BigLie about the stolen election and his effort to derail the electoral process.
Cleta Mitchell, Gold Circle Member of the Council for National Policy #CNP worked with #ALEC exploring additional ways to invalidate a potential Trump loss
#CNP's Cleta Mitchell has also worked with #ALEC in a secret working group that addressed redistricting, ballot measures, and election law because “expanding voting rights and nonpartisan redistricting could imperil GOP political power." documented.net/2020/06/corpor…#VoterSuppression

In 1996, Richard Fink, an executive at #Koch Industries and a top advisor to Charles Koch, outlined a three-tiered strategy for getting the #fossilfuels industrialist's free-market ideas out into the world: through academia, think tanks, and activists’ organizations.
How Charles #Koch Is Buying Credibility With Academic Investments sgq.io/SVs3Bnu The 1st tier of this “structure of social change” strategy is the “investment in intellectual raw materials”, that academia would develop. #unKoch#HigherEducation
This level of #Koch funding in academia and think tanks has broad implications for policy implementation, as state governments routinely rely on the state university systems to provide independent analyses of issues before the legislature and agencies. #unKoch#highered
McConnell reaches milestone on judges by filling final Circuit Court vacancy nbcnews.com/politics/congr… an achievement that fulfills his goal of remaking the federal judiciary as more conservative for a generation but also one that is less diverse. 1/9
McConnell took over the Senate in January 2015 and held votes on just two Circuit Court judges during Obama's last two years in office. This peaked with his refusal to have Senate hearings to confirm Merrick Garland. 2/9
It is the Federalist Society that has provided the names of these judges to McConnell, and Trump's administration. 3/9
