I first heard of the Council for National Policy from @amandablount2. I wrote about it > learning that a few too many dubious election results in the US since 2000 have involved CNP members or CNP award recipients (& other Religious Right members). 1/ extranewsfeed.com/americas-talib…
Quite frankly, it scared the bejeezus out of me. 2/

8/ Some of this stuff just blew my mind.

10/ This is how I knew what the plans were for public education too. I had assembled all of this research back in 2017 or 2018.
11/ it’s one of those organizations where the more you dig, the worse it gets
12/ Bannon & KellyAnne - both from Cambridge Analytica, both in the CNP 2014 directory.
13/
14/ Anyway, I came at the CNP initially mostly from an elections angle. But when all the CRT stuff came up, I thought that it sounded like the type of “moral outrage” fabrication that would make CNP member Morton Blackwell (who runs the Leadership Institute) proud.
15/ And then I read this @RightWingWatch piece that showed, why yes, he is involved. rightwingwatch.org/post/the-right…
16/ So I started looking into the CNP’s involvement in all of the education BS only to discover there was huge overlap with the people behind the insurrection. They are basically the same operation.
17/ Anyway, that is how I knew about the CNP.
18/ Meanwhike, @anelsona had written a whole book and several articles about the CNP. This one about the CNP & the insurrection. washingtonspectator.org/nelson-cnp/
19/ And @BrentAllpress had obtained a slew of CNP directories.
20/ And @duboo had done some excellent CNP work too. exposedbycmd.org/2021/01/08/chr…

Rs are now the party of violent religious extremists. They have morphed into a “Christian” version of the Taliban. They want to shutter the Department of Education so they can teach their version of a hateful God in school. Bannon even called 4 beheadings. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

Either we listen to experts or we don’t. Democrats and Republicans have decided that we don’t. Neither party introduced a law that wld require rigorous election audits in 2022. Ds congratulate themselves for conceding, Rs congratulate themselves 4 #fraudits, & so shall it be. 🤬
And I’m pissed off. 🤬

Someone asked me what I think about Virginia’s results. What I think is that we need a rigorous manual audit b4 results are certified. I think we need that for all races. That’s what election security experts think too. Sadly, VA law doesn’t call 4 it. 🥵 verifiedvoting.org/auditlaw/virgi…
Renowned election experts have said for YEARS that we need rigorous manual election audits! Don’t let Trump’s lies about 2020 and “fraudits” fool you into a false sense of security. Don’t let him trick you into rejecting the notion of audits. 1/

Something is very wrong w/ our election system. Number 1, that the Florida GOP has maintained control of the state for years despite the state having had so many more registered Ds (until now). Number 2, that Florida now claims to have more registered Rs than Ds. 1/
Historically, I’ve been worried that the GOP may have gotten away with rampant cheating in elections. My concern now is that they may not even need to break the law anymore, that we may have crossed a tipping point due to gerrymandering, dark money, etc. 2/
But this sudden rise in Republican registrations is something new. What is going on??? 3/ @harrisonjaime

This is 100% a big part of the GOP’s plan for public education - eliminate federal funding. How many parents know this??? 1/

Obama’s SOS was @johnkerry who suspected that Bush stole the 04 election & yet Kerry was so afraid of Rove & Roger Stone & the MSM calling him a “sore loser” like they did to @algore that he waited YEARS to admit it. And still Obama did nothing to secure the election system ..1/
… until they got word that Russia had decided to poke at it too, at which point it was too goddamn late. They let it happen. Obama told HRC to concede. I, for one, will never get over it. 2/
