Katie Hopkins presence with Mike Flynn is cause for alarm. She was a proponent of Brexit. The Brexit connections run deep through Bannon and Farage. See more connections in the threads stitched below. Dr. Simone Gold appears on the whiteboard too.
Remember that January 5th Revival to Rally held at the Freedom Plaza the night before the Insurrection? This production requires a closer look Behind the Scenes, at the Extras, the Character Actors and Stars to put into perspective what is happening. A wee Jan *5th* thread.🧵👇🏻
Let’s take a look Behind the Scenes (📌1).
The event at the Jan 5th Freedom Plaza was hosted by Cindy Chafian. Chafian brought together a list of speakers for the event that is like a who’s who of insurrection. It’s seemingly a gathering of everyone. A wrap party if you will.
Here is a list of the speakers taken from the permit Cindy Chafian was granted by the National Park Service for the event the night before the Insurrection.
Joe Manchin’s daughter is CEO of the pharmaceutical company that makes Epipens, a life saving device. It used to cost $94, now they cost $700. Manchin is stopping Biden’s agenda because of ‘inflation’. Joe Manchin is doing Mitch McConnell’s work. Why?cnn.com/2016/09/07/pol…
What’s changed about the epipen to make it more expensive? Nothing. In 2007, Mylan pharmaceutical bought EpiPen from Merck’s generic unit. Generic drugs are usually the cheaper ones because their patent has run out along with the exclusivity.
Mylan still has patent protection on EpiPen until 2025. They also have patent on the injector as well. Both the hardware and software so to speak. Did you know that the most recent innovation to the EpiPen was an Orange top? Hardly worth a +500% price increase.
Remember when We learned about the Walkaway campaign designed to get democrats to ‘Walkaway’ from the Democratic Party and how they had speakers tied to Brexit? Remember it was a coordinated effort to suppress the Black vote?
Here’s a wee thread on Candace Owens’ Blexit.🧵👇🏻
Blexit, a cheap play on the name given to the UK crusade to leave the European Union, was created to do the same work as Walkaway. Instead of Brandon Straka trying to get Black voters to Walkaway from the Dem Party, Candace Owens tried to get Black voters to ‘exit’ Dem party.
Both of the these endeavors were designed to limit Black turnout. This is voter suppression. They were not trying to win people over, they were trying to get them to not vote because they assumed they would just vote Democrat. It is racist, cynical and divisive.
There’s a case from Jan 6th where the defendant has chosen to represent herself. She is claiming ‘Sovereign Citizenship’ status and the court has no dominion or jurisdiction over her. Here is her 114 page motion to dismiss. (Warning-ice cream headache)
You may have heard of Sovereign Citizens when they had a standoff against Massachusetts State Police. This isn’t just a one off. This is further evidence of the dangers of unabated misinformation.
Listing in. One of the defendants attorneys argued they were exercising their 1st amendment rights. This was done as the judge was focused on a particular charge in the indictment (1512 c2). She may have just snatched defeat from the jaws of victory of having a count thrown out.
Judge Mehta just said, let’s not pretend these were picketers.
Interesting to hear the judges thinking on this count. 1512c2 he says, pertains to shredding documents, that wasn’t what happened here.
It sounds like Judge Mehta wants to know why the Government chose certain statutes to bring about Obstruction charges, that weren’t actually charges of obstruction (i.e 18usc 1503, 1505).
It is going to take a multi-pronged Herculean effort to undo the stain that was left behind by the former administration. Time is running out and McConnell is lurking like a vulture to pick at the carcass of our democracy if @TheDemocrats are not up to the task at hand.
If @SenSchumer won’t act to protect women, or votes, or act as a check on the Judiciary, or ensure oversight of DOJ in the Executive Branch, or get his caucus to see the gravity of the moment, then he is tacitly relinquishing the powers of Congress & the seat he holds. Change him
