.@MatthewTyrmand—a “Bannon protege,” former Breitbart writer, Project Veritas Board member, & supposed 1A proponent—lost his defamation suit against a journalist who called him “part of a global war against democracy by right-wing actors …” 5/20/21 1/ wiproud.com/news/politics/…
Again, these people claim to support the first amendment. 🙄2/ Image
3/ Here is Tyrmand waxing poetic about the first amendment. Notice how he specifically praises James O’Keefe of Project Veritas… Image
4/ “Twitter bans James O’Keefe of Project Veritas [where Tyrmand sits on the board] over fake account policy” 4/15/21 techcrunch.com/2021/04/15/twi…
5/ “A Twitter representative said the action followed the violation of rules prohibiting ‘operating fake accounts’ and attempting to ‘artificially amplify or disrupt conversations through the use of multiple accounts…”
6/ “James O’Keefe [of Project Veritas where Tyrmand sits on the board] says he never ‘intended to plant a fake story’ in The Washington Post” by @ErikWemple, 1/24/18 washingtonpost.com/blogs/erik-wem…
14/ Bad actors rely on fake accounts, bots, & other inauthentic behavior because they have nothing else to offer.
15/ Speaking of inauthentic. I’d really like @RealCandaceO & @laurenboebert to answer this question. The public deserves to know if they came from Explore Talent or if this is a bad faith attempt by far right actors 2 trick Democrats, which wld also be up Project Veritas’ alley. Image
16/ So much for the 1A… Image
17/ “Koch-Linked Charity Bankrolled Project Veritas as It Worked With Ex-Spies to Infiltrate Liberal Groups”prwatch.org/news/2020/03/1…
19/ “The Koch Brothers and Robert Mercer Bankrolled Right-Wing Firm Project Veritas” 12/4/17 #FollowTheMoney observer.com/2017/12/koch-b…
20/ Naturally, it all goes back to the Council for National Policy (CNP). @_anelsin Image
24/ Naturally, Eduardo Bolsonaro (son of Jair Bolsonaro) is a Project Veritas fan. Again, Tyrmand sits on the board of Project Veritas. @UrbanNathalia
25/ “after we met w/ Bolsonaros” - Matthew Tyrmand Image
26/ Thread about Donors Trust, which funds Project Veritas. @Tentoads4truth
28/ “Security contractor Erik Prince reportedly recruited ex-spies to help Project Veritas infiltrate liberal groups” 3/7/20 thehill.com/homenews/admin…
29/ Introducing Project Veritas’s attorney, Jered Ede. He thinks @cbouzy’s discovery of more than 700 apparently inauthentic accounts tied to Project Veritas is funny.
30/ “Survivor’ Contestant Worked [for Project Veritas] as Undercover ‘Honey Pot’ Targeting Dems” by @willsommer

What a bunch of jerks.
thedailybeast.com/survivor-conte…
31/ “A New York Times … found that Erik Prince … has been helping right-wing activist group Project Veritas by recruiting former spies to help infiltrate teachers unions and Democratic congressional campaigns.” 3/10/20 law.com/americanlawyer…
33/ Related thread about Matthew Tyrmand. cc: @gal_suburban threadreaderapp.com/thread/1442173… Image
35/ Seems I triggered Matthew Tyrmand. 😳 Image
36/ And again. All that Koch money and he can’t learn to control his temper. Image
37/ More. 😳 Image
38/ “Bannon protege [Matthew Tyrmand] loses case against liberal Polish newspaper” apnews.com/article/635c9d…
39/ 😳Matthew Tyrmand posted these photos ten hours ago to Facebook. “From Miami to Berlin…, God must save western civilization from the attacks within,” he wrote. (Bannon has called Germany central to his “movement”). Image
40/ Also posted today, 10/12/21. ImageImage
41/ Bannon has reportedly called Tommy Robinson the “backbone” of Britain. Photo in post 40 indicates that Robinson is meeting (or has met recently) with Bannon protégés Jason Miller & Matthew Tyrmand in Berlin. cc: @profcarroll @carolecadwalla
42/ About Tommy Robinson (per Wikipedia). Holy sh#t, read the assault part… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Rob… ImageImageImage
43/ More on Tommy Robinson who recently met with Steve Bannon’s protege in Berlin. @JamesFourM Image
So this is scary. Steve Bannon, Jeff Sessions, Stephen Miller, & Tommy Robinson (who just met w/ Bannon’s protégés in Berlin & has a criminal record) have ties to Freedom Center, which has called itself a “School for Political Warfare.” #politicalwarfare. 44/ 😳
45/ This is odd. Tommy Robinson is a British far right activist (and apparent ally of Steve Bannon’s protégés, Matthew Tyrmand & Jason Miller). Why did the Middle East Forum, a Philadelphia “think tank,” pay his legal fees and help fund demonstrations in London?!
46/ Oh look. Philadelphia’s Middle East Forum funded Steve Bannon too (in addition to paying the legal fees of British far right activist Tommy Robinson). Just one big happy “family.” @carolecadwalla
“Paul Gosar omitted dinner with far right nationalists in travel report,” by @alexkotch, 4/4/19
49/ readsludge.com/2019/04/04/pau…
57/ Good Gawd. In 2018, Philadelphia’s Middle East Forum funded & organized a pro Tommy Robinson “rally” in London that turned violent. Must read. @splcenter splcenter.org/hatewatch/2018… ImageImageImageImage
58/ Holy sh#t. Here’s a video of the June 2018 Tommy Robinson “rally” in London that was organized by Philadelphia’s Middle East Forum. Look familiar? thesun.co.uk/news/6489748/f…
59/ Another video from the Middle East Forum “event” in June 2018 in London. Again, MEF has funded Bannon too. Holy cr#p.
60/ Re: Post 46. I’m still trying to independently confirm MEF’s funding of Bannon or of a Bannon project or organization. @carolecadwalla
61/ This Sludge report by @alexkotch says that the Middle East Forum paid for Rep. Paul Gosar to attend Bannon’s “the Movement” dinner with far right leaders in the UK. So this does indicate that MEF was funding Bannon’s work. readsludge.com/2019/04/04/pau… ImageImage

👀The Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy has published an article by A3P attorney Josh Hammer, Timon Cline, & Yoram Hazony. It calls on SCOTUS to reverse the 1947 Everson case, which held that the Establishment Clause applies to states & requires church-state separation. 1/ Image
Image
2/ The article was published several weeks ago. Here’s the link: journals.law.harvard.edu/jlpp/wp-conten…
3/ I’ve been waiting for the article to drop since last year.

While we were distracted, Trump appointed Josh Craddock—who recently signed a letter urging the DOJ to use the Comstock Act to curtail abortion pill distribution—to serve as Deputy Assistant AG in the DOJ’s OLC. Don’t worry. He probly won’t do much until *after* the midterms… 1/ Image
2/ Josh Craddock announced his appointment on 7/2/25.
3/ Backup. Image

Houraney “recalls encountering Epstein at Mar-a-Lago in Jan 1993” & says “Trump asked him to organise a party” w/ “some of his pageant’s finalists…[A]fter an hour at the party, Houraney says, there seemed to be only one other guest: Epstein.” 3/14/20 1/ Image
3/ Note that this reported Trump/Epstein party would have been around the time of Epstein’s 40th birthday. Image

ICYMI, during the 2016 presidential campaign, “Epstein invited [Peter] Thiel and [Thomas] Barrack to separate meetings with Vitaly Churkin, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations. **** Thiel, who had several interactions with Epstein starting in 2014, according to the documents, said his Oct 2016 meeting with Epstein & Churkin featured ‘nothing memorable.’
‘I was rather naive,’ Thiel said in an interview, ‘and I didn’t think enough about what Epstein’s agenda might have been.’ Barrack, founder of Colony Capital and a longtime Trump ally, declined to comment.” 1/ archive.is/2023.09.03-150…Image

Tulsi’s report seems to me like an attempt to distract. As I detailed on Medium, Obama stated in Dec 2016 that, “We have not seen evidence of machines being tampered with *** That doesn’t mean that we find every single potential probe of every single voting machine across the country. But we paid a lot of attention to it. We worked with state election officials, etc. And we feel confident that that didn’t occur.” 1/Image
If anything, I felt that Obama and others provided false assurances to the public about the legitimacy of Trump’s win in 2016. I explained my concerns in detail here. 3/ jennycohn1.medium.com/why-have-so-ma…Image

A whistleblower alleged that staff of Palantir—co-founded by Facebook investor/director Peter Thiel—had worked w/ Cambridge Analytica (CA) on the FB data it acquired. But a Palantir spokesperson claimed Palantir never had a relationship w/ CA & never worked on its data. 5/2018 1/ Image
2/ Link for post 1: cnbc.com/2018/03/27/pal…Image
3/ “Thiel, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing, was not immediately available for comment when contacted by CNBC.” Image
