OMG I KNEW this critical race theory fake moral outrage reeked of Morton Blackwell’s Leadership Institute. Turns out I was right. I knew it, I knew it, I knew it. But I didn’t know it for sure until this. 1/ rightwingwatch.org/post/the-right…
2/ “The Leadership Institute, which has trained generations of right-wing activists, is promoting a 20-hour online course to train conservatives how to run 4 their local school boards in order to ‘stop the teaching of Critical Race Theory b4 it destroys the fabric of our nation.”
3/ Its why I’ve tweeted so much about Morton Blackwell lately. Examples: ImageImageImage
4/ This guy. He teaches this to his thousands of Republican minions. They are more than happy to manufacture the necessary outrage. It’s their specialty. Image
5/ This is Morton Blackwell too. He’s all about political technology. Image
6/ THIS is an example of political technology. Morton must be very proud of the monster he created. washingtonpost.com/technology/202… Image
7/ “An email promoting an online presentation about the Leadership Institute’s new training sessions, which begin on Aug. 9, declares that ‘conservatives are preparing a school board takeover and you can get involved.’” rightwingwatch.org/post/the-right…
8/ Yep. Check out their Twitter account. They are going for it alright. Image
9/ And they are training them young. Just like the Nazis did. This is scary stuff. Image
10/ “My right-wing degree
How I learned to convert liberal campuses into conservative havens at Morton Blackwell's Leadership Institute, alma mater of Karl Rove, Ralph Reed, Jeff Gannon and two Miss Americas.” 5/25/05 salon.com/2005/05/25/bla…

👀In August 2020, Trump’s Federal Reserve approved a $50M coronavirus relief loan to a PA casino owned by the children & grandchildren of Louis DeNaples who was chairman of the bank that made the loan. h/t @jacobadelman 1/
inquirer.com/business/main-…
2/ The loan recipient: “the Mount Airy Casino Resort, owned by trusts for DeNaples’ children and grandchildren. DeNaples had to relinquish his own ownership to resolve charges that he’d concealed his ties to organized crime.”
3/ As noted by @j2dumfounded, the coronavirus relief loan to the DeNaples PA casino (the Mount Airy casino) was much larger than other such loans at that time. Image

Um, why did Trump’s Federal Reserve give an obscenely disproportionately large coronavirus stimulus loan to a PA casino owned by DeNaples w/ ties to the Bufalino crime family?! What did Trump want in exchange? (Recall that PA is a crucial swing state.) 1/ reuters.com/article/usa-fe… Image
3/ Per Reuters, the loan was made during the week that ended August 5, 2020.

This was RT’d by Alexandra Preate, Bannon’s press Secretary in PA. Her dad, Ernie Preate, is a convicted felon & frequent guest on Bannon’s podcast. He’s an attorney & is defending Frank Scavo who organized buses to the insurrection & posted incriminating messages to his FB. 2/ Image

Chris Wray & Kavanaugh both worked 4 the Bush WH when it was was hiding its emails on that private server hosted by Smartech (which also, bizarrely, received Ohio’s 2004 returns b4 they were posted). Russia hacked Smartech in 2015, but Comey pretended it was no big deal. @RWPUSA
Here’s a piece by @leannewattphd & @RWPUSA re: Russia’s hacking of Smartech. 1/ link.medium.com/rfL9y8wwAjb
I’ve written about and discussed the hacking of Smartech many times. Many people may be compromised because of it. 2/
