The deception of the far right. Thread. 1/
2/ In January 2017, “Project Veritas operative Allison Maass was [caught on film] attempting to bribe members of Americans Take Action into inciting a riot at Trump's inauguration.” PV was founded by James O’Keefe. Michael Tyrmand sits on the board. huffpost.com/entry/counter-…

What a bunch of jerks. thedailybeast.com/survivor-conte…
14/
15/ Tommy Robinson video was edited to make it look like an immigrant was the aggressor in an altercation w/ Robinson. The producer was shocked by the deceptive editing & gave the uncut version to the media. It shows Tommy Robinson [a far right UK activist] was the aggressor
16/ A video showed a Syrian boy being attacked at school. Far right UK activist Tommy Robinson posted two Facebook videos of his iwn claiming the boy was “not innocent & he violently attacks young girls in his school.” The boy sued Robinson for libel & won.bbc.com/news/uk-englan…

25/ “James O’Keefe Loses Libel Suit Over Landrieu Incident” 3/31/15 [Not sure why O’Keefe doesn’t consider this a Project Veritas loss. Maybe he sued individually instead.] motherjones.com/politics/2015/…

Surprise, surprise. At Princeton, Pete Hegseth studied under Robert George, a close associate of SCOTUS puppet master Leonard Leo. The two of them apparently remained in touch. 1/ dailyprincetonian.com/article/2024/1…Image

This is maddening. Speaking of the 2004 election in Ohio, John Kerry told Brian Lehrer in 2018 that “The problem for us was we were doubting whether the [voting] machines themselves had been appropriately measured & whether the algorithms were correct, etc. We challenged that ahead of time by the way. People don’t know that. And we were told by the court that we were not able to get that algorithm, to check it, bc it was  proprietary information.

And I believe that it was absolutely incorrect that in the United States of America, the election for the presidency of the United States should somehow be the purview of privately owned machines where the public doesn’t have the right to know whether the algorithms can be checked or whether they are hackable or not. And we now know they are hackable. 

But we knew as we sat there to decide where to go in terms of the challenge, that we were a nation at war, we had just been through a Supreme Court test of an election four years earlier. I thought once I measured it that whatever constitutional challenge we brought or whatever appropriate challenge we  brought to the ballots that were counted, it was going to wind up ultimately in the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court would do the same thing that it did before. We would take the country through a three month exercise with a 5/4 decision that would award the presidency back to George Bush.

Now some people may think that’s the right thing to have done. I thought it would have been horrendous for our country one year into a war, at that moment when there were serious doubts about terrorism and other things, to be going through a long period of questioning of the presidency, and I didn’t think it was the right thing to do for the nation.” 1/ @VP @marceelias

This election was not as close as 2016. But unlike 2016, we know that MAGAs breached voting systems in swing states b4 the 2024 election. Yes, I think Ds will concede w/o seeking recounts, even if they have doubts. I think that’s what they did in 2016. 1/ jennycohn1.medium.com/why-have-so-ma…Image

WTAF?! Four Georgia counties supposedly gave Garland Favorito backups of their Dominion voting system databases before the 2024 election?! And MAGAs also imply that they have analyzed Dominion databases in AZ, NM, & MI & claim to have found a “hard-coded globally used password” to all of these systems, which they published in a report, also before the election? And MAGAs then pranced around with the password on teeshirts, again before the election?! @marceelias @vp #gapol 1/ ballotassure.com/Reports/Securi…Image

2/ Honestly, WTH?! Image
3/ You can even buy Dominion password teeshirts on Amazon. This is insanely brazen. Where the f#ck was the media?! Image

Dear @VP: You once wrote that, “It is misleading to suggest that impenetrable cybersecurity is possible; our focus must be on … detecting … any effort to harm us,” and we “can’t afford to be naive.” As you know, MAGAs breached voting systems in swing states & Rs blocked the #SAFEAct, which wld have required rigorous manual audits for federal races. Why have you NOT requested manual recounts or at least ballot images? 1/Image
