I waffle whether Putin is the appropriate #1 focal point. He exploits pre-existing societal fractures. The “vast right wing conspiracy” was & is real. Most of its leaders are in the CNP, a domestic group, altho it has long-standing ties 2 Russia. Bannon is a global ring leader 1/
Putin supercharged these domestic efforts and pushed them over a tipping point. 2/
I wrote about the CNP (including but not limited to its Russia ties) here in 2017. 3/ link.medium.com/NhKXFAv5Wjb
4/ The CNP has a dominionist plus anti-regulation (corrupt) agenda.

Remember when Ali Alexander, Roger Stone. & Jacob Engels OPPOSED recounts in 2018? These bad faith actors always accuse their opponents of fraud, regardless of facts, bc it is propaganda. It dates back to 2000. h/t ⁦@LeaLovesUSA#narrativewarfare 1/ miaminewtimes.com/news/trump-fan…
2/ Seriously. I know many of us already know they have screamed “stop the steal” since 2000 but it is nonetheless infuriating to see it spelled out so clearly in 2018. Image
3/ Jack Posobiec was involved too. ImageImageImage

Hasen concerns me bc he has boosted the platforms of people who underplay election security concerns. Even he says that Congress shld require “mandatory post-election audits…”

Why does @amyklobuchar’s voting bill postpone its audit reqmt until 2024? 1/ washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/0…
Hasen, for example, boosted the platform of David Becker, which is unfortunate. Becker is featured in this video that I made with @KateRosenberg4 before the 2020 election. The modems have not been removed, but they should be. 2/
3/ Letter from Stacey Abrams’s group & 13 other voting rights groups to UC Irvine taking exception to Hasen’s speaker invitation to the GA Sec of State bc the GA Sec of State has been threatening to dissolve the Dem-led Fulton county election board. fairfight.com/wp-content/upl…

@j3669 @AKA_RealDirty @TheBradBlog @JonathanSimon14 Re: Clint Curtis, what Sidney Powell omitted is that Curtis said the request to create a vote flipping program came from Tom Feeney, a FL Republican & ally of G. W. Bush, who has done more than perhaps any other POTUS to empower the CNP which has ties to Powell herself. 1/ ImageImageImageImage
@j3669 @AKA_RealDirty @TheBradBlog @JonathanSimon14 2/ Powell also omitted that Feeney (the guy who allegedly asked Clint Curtis to create a vote flipping had ties to the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal, & Brett Kavanaugh helped stop an investigation into that. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1038151…

Trump wants voters to think the #StopTheSteal campaign arose organically. But it didn't. @JamieMCorey obtained a video from FEBRUARY (b4 the election) where members of ALEC & the CNP got together to discuss how to attack the validity of a Trump loss. 1/

“Operating from the shadows,” the CNP spent “4 decades courting, buying, and bullying fellow Rs, gradually achieving what was in effect a leveraged buyout of the GOP. Favorite sons, such as Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz, were groomed, financed, & supported.” 1/ washingtonspectator.org/nelson-cnp/
“Apostates, such as John McCain and Jeff Flake, were punished and exiled.” 2/
By March 2020, “the Republican Senate had confirmed more than 185 of Trump’s conservative nominees for the federal bench. All but eight of the judges had ties to the Federalist Society, headed by longtime CNP members Eugene Meyer and Leonard Leo.” 3/

“The accounts, including pages, groups and Instagram feeds meant to be seen in both the United States and Vietnam, presented a new wrinkle to researchers: fake profile photos generated with the help of artificial intelligence.” 2/
