Remember this?! “A conservative group [Project Veritas] tried to plant a fake Roy Moore allegation in the Washington Post. It failed.” - Vox - 2017 1/ vox.com/2017/11/27/167…
Project Veritas has deliberately spread false or misleading information & thinks that @Twitter (which kicked both PV & its founder, James O’Keefe off its platform) should let it back on its platform. 2/
“Twitter bans James O’Keefe of Project Veritas over fake account policy” techcrunch.com/2021/04/15/twi… 3/
I gather that Project Veritas & OKeefe deny involvement in inauthentic behavior. 4/

Right-wing organizations & influencers have stoked, coordinated, & provided training for the assault on public schools in plain sight. Anyone claiming otherwise is lying or ignorant. TPUSA was founded by Council for National Policy member Charlie Kirk. 1/

This guy seems really triggered by my thread (and @JuddLegum’s) exposing the right wing “think tanks,” training, & coordinated propaganda efforts that have been used to enrage low information voters & weaponize them against public schools. Wonder why. 1/ ImageImage
Well that was easy. Seems he is connected to & aligned with Philadelphia’s far right Middle East Forum (MEF) think tank, which has supported Bannon’s international “the movement”. I’ve been writing about them this week. Yike. 2/ ImageImage

Someone asked me if there’s a centralized resource re: the organized coup against public school boards. I know of no such resource. But at least three Religious Right organizations under the Council for National Policy (CNP) umbrella are involved in organizing & training. 1/
They are the Leadership Institute (led by CNPer Morton Blackwell), TPUSA (led by CNPer Charlie Kirk), and the Heritage Foundation (not sure re: Heritage, but I think I saw something recently). 2/
There are also local groups that are likely at most two steps removed from these organizations, such as Moms 4 Liberty (headquartered in Sarasota, Florida) and the Mama Bullies (who call themselves the Iowa Mama Bears & have traveled with Mike Flynn). 3/

Here’s a video of the June 2018 “free Tommy Robinson” rally in London organized by Philadelphia’s Middle East Forum (MEF). Looks like Jan 6 doesn’t it?

MEF may have ties to Steve Bannon whose protégés recently met w/ Tommy Robinson in Berlin. 1/ thesun.co.uk/news/6489748/f…
2/ Note reference to Alexandra Preate too. She and her sister are very involved in PA Republican politics. I’m trying to confirm Carole’s info that MEF has donated to Bannon or to a Bannon entity or project.
