Thread 🧵 1/

The FBI is going to be investigating the violence and threats being directed at school board members over mask mandates. It's coming from many of the same places as the #January6thInsurrection, and there's a money trail.

#HoldThemAccountable

2/ But let's start at the top. Back in 2020 Erik Prince's sister, Betsy DeVos made it clear:

"When asked this past week if she was using the crisis to push private school vouchers, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos replied, "Absolutely."

3/ Right before that, in May 2020, Governor DeSantis had folded like a cheap shirt when the Florida Chamber of Commerce suggested ignoring the CDC guidelines in favor of prematurely reopening the state. (Scroll to bottom of article)

4/ Fast forward to spring of 2021. Following the failed coup attempt, the forces of insurrection in Florida took aim at our school boards. First it was Trans kids in sports and bathrooms, then it was Critical Race Theory. THEN Delta Variant showed up...

newrepublic.com/article/163817…

5/ Mom's For Liberty had been a growing astro turf campaign since spring. "Parents Defending Education is funding them to help attack school boards. It’s a dirty game and it’s about as grassroots as a Koch political operation.(sic)"

masspoliticsprofs.org/2021/04/12/koc…

6/ Now they had their battle cry: "our bodies, our choice!" ...except they weren't pro-choice, they claim to be pro-life while trying to spread COVID.

theguardian.com/us-news/2021/a…

7/ If people aren't sick with covid his friends can't cash in on it. Rick Scott's friend, Ken Griffin became suddenly very generous last spring as anti-vaxxers spread misinformation about vaccines.

8/ What accompanied this new ladies only tea party, and big money from health care interests, was the Trump insurrection. The "storm the capitol!" ppl, were now shouting "We’re here to storm the Brevard County School Board!”

buzzfeednews.com/article/emaoco…

9/ In addition to making public schools a culture war battle ground, wilfully spreading misinformation about covid, and trying to prohibit safety requirements in schools, a campaign of terror has unfolded against school board members.

usnews.com/news/education…

10/ At one such meeting, a man who claimed to be a capital rioter was filmed shouting at and terrifying women and children.

thespacecoastrocket.com/florida-man-ma…

11/ Remember, DeSantis was encouraging people to go have a beer in May 2020. In June of 2021, as the NIH and CDC warned us about the Delta Variant, DeSantis was selling beer coozies on his campaign page deriding mask mandates.

12/ Predictably, Delta Variant raged in Florida. In response, Governor DeSantis hits the road promoting "treatment" over "prevention" while threatening to defund school boards that issued mask mandates for public schools.

13/ State Representative Randy Fine, never one to miss out on an opportunity to score political points with the GOP base AND their donors says he will help ppl get vouchers to private schools that are allowed to have mandates.

actionnetwork.org/petitions/inve…

14/ Rep. Fine has criminal complaint filed against him by School Board member who he 'doxxed'.

thespacecoastrocket.com/state-represen…

15/ Rep. Fine doesn't stop there. Gruters has named him the appropriations chair of the k-12 committee, and even after that criminal complaint, he threatens to "hurt" school boards.

tampabay.com/news/florida-p…

16/ / Repeated 'protests' at the house of the school board member Fine threatened include a woman named Janice Crisp, who ran for Palm Bay City Council in 2020, received money from Fine for her campaign, and was recently arrested at a school board mtg.

17/ / Randy Fine has also given money to Mom's for Liberty, Brevard Chapter. M4L Brevard is run by former school board member, Tina Descovitch, who was ousted in 2020 by Jennifer Jenkins. Mrs. Jenkins is the local school board member who is being targeted by these nutjobs.

18/ Mom's For Liberty Brevard Chapter is threatening to sue Brevard Public Schools over it's mask mandate, and when asked if that constitutes a campaign finance violation because he gave them money, Randy Fine is clueless.

19/ Janice Crisp had been prepared to send patently and deliberately falsified sworn criminal and civil complaints at one point, although I think she balked on that. If she didn't, she is at serious risk of perjury.

20/ So, who is Randy Fine? Part 1

link.medium.com/pcItvGPItib

21/ So, who is Randy Fine? Part 2

facebook.com/FineIdiot/

22/ But Randy Fine is hardly the outlier. In Sarasota, Mike Flynn was recently fomenting anti-mask/vax madness, suggesting vaccines will be in salad dressing. Seriously.

forbes.com/sites/brucelee…

23/ Mike Flynn's remarks came at a radical and extreme gathering no one wanted to take credit for organizing, but also featured other prominent GQP people.

vice.com/en/article/k78…

24/ Mike Flynn is buddy, buddy with Erik Prince, Betsy DeVos brother(see 2/) who wanted to completely privatize the war in Afghanistan, replacing U.S. Troops with mercenaries. But did they conspire with Russia together in 2016 to help elect Trump?

newyorker.com/news/news-desk…

25/ Sarasota is Joe Gruters district, and they have been hard at work building a Mom's for Liberty chapter while bullying and intimidating their school board members as well.

politico.com/states/florida…

26/ Interestingly, Sarasota is where the Cyber Ninjas came from(Arizona election frauditors), and also where Trump held his Save America rally at the beginning of July. 🤔

heraldtribune.com/story/opinion/…

26/ Also in Sarasota, a Chiropractor takes advantage of the madness to start selling medical exemptions for the mask mandate to kids....seriously.

https://twitter.com/RonFilipkowski/status/1437136126582603782?t=oz5raVZPKYEfzs6RSlq0XA&s=19

27/ "America's Front Line Doctors" is doing what it can to cash in on the insane and deadliest 4th wave of COVID in Florida after spreading tons of medical misinformation.

https://twitter.com/micahflee/status/1442969576719847425?s=19

28/ Hospitals are overwhelmed with sick and dying ppl, but are taking in big bucks from COVID relief and billing insurance companies.

hfma.org/topics/news/20…

29/ With everyone making so much money, who cares about sick and dying people, right! Three cheers for Ron DeSantis, Trump, and Rick Scott!! ...

30/ While all this is happening, few are paying attention to Sands Corp, formerly owned by the late Sheldon Adelson, largest individual donor to the Republican Party, as they try to move their multi-billion gambling operations from Las Vegas to Florida.

tampabay.com/news/florida-p…

31/ Which brings us back to Randy Fine, who Gruters put in charge of the newly created gambling committee in the legislature...

AS WELL AS the preK-12 appropriations subcommittee.

#FoundationForOurChildrensFuture
#NotFine

32/ Which brings us back to Brevard, where we are #1 for insurrectionists...and probably for election rigging, too.

33/ @FBI and @TheJusticeDept reading this thread like:

34/ Conclusions that can be drawn from this thread:

1) Randy Fine is indeed an idiot and likely a criminal.
2) The conspiracy to spread COVID by fraud had clear financial motives, the outcome was deadly, and a crime against humanity.
3) it's all Janice Crisps fault. Lol. (jk)

Small disclaimer here: Gruters doesn't control committee assignments. Doubtless, however, he has a say in the matter.

Oh, I forgot! Scumbag extraordinare, Steve Bannon who is the official media hype guy for the insurrection.

"The firestorm that you’re about to see,” Steve Bannon said recently, “is the American mothers."

Update:

Update: according to a recent post by Janice Crisp, Thomas "Jefferson" Rycroft(below) gave Mom's For Liberty $1000 dollars. But where did he get that money?? Both Janice and Tom are believed to have been in D.C. on January 6th.

#January6thInsurrection

...And Project Veritas and Erik Prince hiring stalkers.

If this isn't a CLEAR and COMPELLING Racketeering case, then there's no point in even having an @FBI. Just because they did it in broad daylight doesn't make it less of a criminal conspiracy.

https://twitter.com/jennycohn1/status/1447037098507137033?t=FGHkvFSGpYb3TSQOWiT_OA&s=19

Here's some detailed info on who is organizing money and religious zealots to fight mask mandates and other chaos-inducing racketeering activities. Are they getting a religious tax exemption for funding political organizing? 🤔

Here's some very good detailed info on some of the other shady things Joe Gruters has his hands in as the Chair of The Republican Party of Florida.

https://twitter.com/jennycohn1/status/1447693349851258883?t=bflYJIZKM3KjKVhssBAuqQ&s=19

And the f'n cherry on top of it all!

Look who is the vice chair on redistricting in Florida, as this state continues to get dragged through court over their unconstitutional, and frankly corrupt electioneering and redistricting processes.

@marceelias
@FlaDems

People ask why nothing is being done locally to curb the illegal threats and intimidation aimed at our schools. Here's why:

And here is the story of the "boots on the ground" for the national effort to increase the spread of #COVID19 AND the insurrection.
