2/ Here’s my article about the CNP. It is based on the 2014 directory and earlier. The link in post 1 goes through 2020! link.medium.com/X0lCe8y48db
3/ Guess who is in the 2020 directory for theCNP, which strategized about how to delegitimize a Trump loss months BEFORE the election? Mr “Stop the Steal” Charlie Kirk himself. Kirk has reportedly had a paid troll farm. His organization helped pay for buses to the insurrection.
4/ investigative journalist @JamieMCorey obtained and assembled all of these directories. Incredible work. What a treasure trove.
5/ “Newly Surfaced Recording Reveals ALEC and GOP Election Attorneys [and the CNP] Working with State Legislators to Question Validity of Election” — in February, long before the election took place. By @JamieMCoreydocumented.net/2020/10/newly-…
6/ Like a Russian troll farm, “a group of young conservatives,” some of them minors, was “paid to post misinformation” before the 2020 election. Their support came from Turning Point USA, @charliekirk11’s non-profit political organization. - 9/25/20 wbur.org/hereandnow/202…
8/ Reince Priebus is in the CNP's "Gold Circle" per the September 2020 directory. He's from Wisconsin. In August 2016, Roger Stone accused Priebus of having rigged the Wisconsin Republican primary for Ted Cruz who was the CNP's first choice in 2016. documentcloud.org/documents/7273…
9/ Lisa B. Nelson, the CEO of the American Legislative Exchange Counsel (ALEC), which drafts all of the state voter suppression bills (and strategized to question the integrity of Trump's loss long BEFORE the election) is in the CNP's Sept. 2020 directory. documentcloud.org/documents/7273…
10/ Yike. ALEC named Texas Governor Abbott the best governor in America. Which means he's probably the worst governor in America.
11/ According to @RightWingWatch, the Conservative Action Project (CAP) is an offshoot of the CNP.
Guess who's a member?
**Russell J. Ramsland, the kraken "expert" who swapped data from Michigan and Minnesota to make it look like > 100% turnout. rightwingwatch.org/post/conservat…
14/ Article about Ramsland's bogus affidavit that was intended to make it look like there was voting-machine fraud in Michigan, but in reality "accidentally" swapped Michigan and Minnesota data to come up w/ those faulty numbers. washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
15/ “CAP, whose influential memos ‘for the movement’ circulate on Capitol Hill, is an offshoot of the Council for National Policy, a highly secretive organization of conservative leaders and donors.” washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content…
2/ Ramsland is the debunked “expert” whose affidavit switched MI & Minnesota data, creating the false impression that there was > 100% turnout and that voting machine fraud had occurred. So he’s super “reliable.” washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
3/ Ramsland is in the CNP’s 2018 directory. Other notable past members include Steve Bannon, KellyAnne Conway, & Charlie Kirk.
“Touchscreen voting machines pulled after complaints of switching votes in St. Louis mayor's race” - 2/26/21 #HandMarkedPaperBallots 1/
If u use a touchscreen, always check to confirm that the choice shown on the screen AND on the paper are correct. radio.com/kmox/news/loca…
2/ “With days to go before Tuesday's mayoral election, the Election Board is responding to complaints of touchscreen machines switching the votes of some absentee voters.”
3/ When touchscreens do this, it is typically attributed to miscalibration. Pens don’t have calibration issues. Just sayin’.
Manafort helped Yanukovych, a Putin loyalist, get elected president of Ukraine in 2010. His regime stole $40 Billion, & he killed a deal w/ the EU in favor of Russia, sparking protests. Police shot protestors, triggering a revolution. He fled to Russia. 1/ kyivpost.com/ukraine-politi…
These events in which Paul Manafort played a key role were a huge deal. The revolution is now called Euromaidan because the protesters were pro-Europe and were shot in Maidan square. After Yanukovych fled, he asked Putin to intervene militarily. 2/
After Yanukovych fled, Ukrainian citizens were shocked and appalled to discover the opulance of his palace, which was half the size of Monaco. He had a private zoo (he abandoned the animals when he fled), a golf course, and yacht. 3/
Ever since the Soviet Union’s collapse, Ukraine has been the focal point of a tug of war between Putin/Russia and the EU. Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska hired Manafort to help Putin in Ukraine. When Manafort joined Team Trump, he owed Deripaska $20M & wanted to clear that debt.
“When Manafort joined the Trump campaign ten years later, he owed Deripaska close to $20 million, according to legal complaints Deripaska's lawyers filed in the Cayman Islands and New York.” businessinsider.com/court-document…
P. Manafort’s other client, former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, withdrew Ukraine from the EU-Ukraine Agreement, leading to mass protests. Police shot 100 protesters, causing a revolution. He fled to Russia & was convicted of treason in absentia. radiolemberg.com/ua-articles/ua…
Yanukovych (Manafort’s former client) was Putin’s puppet in Ukraine. These are dangerous people. One of Yanukovych’s political opponents was poisoned with dioxin. The other, a woman, was locked up. 1/ bbc.com/news/av/world-…
Agree. Also Bannon suggesting that Fauci shld be beheaded & Lyn Wood calling for Pence’s execution. These are Trump’s close advisors. Did Trump ever publicly disavow?
Seriously, the impeachment team must bring up Steve Bannon’s incendiary messaging. He was. Trump’s sidekick re: the insurrection. @RepRaskin 1/
This is from January 4. Steve Bannon was preparing religious zealots for a holy war. He literally called it “a momentous battle between children of light and children of darkness.” (Alexander Preate, who RTd the interview, is Bannon’s sidekick. Also a religious fanatic.) 2/
