Have you ever wondered if all these astroturf parent groups that are popping up everywhere are linked together?
Have I got a Thread for you.

BACKGROUND: this morning I noted a local San Diego news station was *still* promoting Sharon McKeeman's Let Them Breathe group without telling their viewers what happened at the Poway Unified School Board meeting on 9/9/2021. Again.
I admit, I read the article after my rant to the reporter (sorry). Though the article did mention LTB, a new "grassroots" group had popped on to the scene. I hadn't heard of "Moms On The Ground" before, so I Googled some names and threaded it here:
Then I noticed a bizarre QT from someone I didn't know, calling me childish names because I'm not debating a woman I didn't know, in public—about my tweet. 🤔
What my brain heard: "Whatever you do, don't look in the big deep-freezer that's in my basement."
/BACKGROUND

Why would someone with these creds, and 49K followers, punch down on some rando-twitter guy with 900 followers—that's just ranting about local news coverage?
Meet Aaron Kheriaty, MD
5/
Aaron Kheriaty, MD is involved with a group called "The Unity Project" that I had never heard of before today, and have never tweeted about—and they just blocked me. Just now. 👀
Yet, I persist.
6/
When I initially scanned his TL, I kept noticing mentions of "The Unity Project" so I took a look. It seems they're a PR/Marketing firm for a very niche market.
Website:
So, I've identified their "purpose", but I'm still investigating their "values".
If you've been following along I've already introduced two of the characters, so I'm going to skip ahead to the gentleman in the middle.
Meet Dr. Paul Alexander, Chief Scientific Officer for The Unity Project — per announcement today.
8/
And no, I don't know why Parisa Fishback is on the "Executive Team" of the marketing company that reps her "grassroots" group "Moms On The Ground", you're free to come to your own conclusions.
As I pointed out before, Dr. Alexander got a new job today.
9/
Dr. Alexander has some very impressive credentials in his bio:
It includes: senior advisor to the assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)...during the Trump administration. He "left" HHS in September 2020...🤔
I could easily start another thread telling you more about Michael R. Caputo and his associates — including Trump's pardoned friend Roger Stone — but I won't here. If you're unfamiliar with him, you can read this WaPo article, or Google him:
Dr. Paul Jackson's removal from HHS involved his views on herd immunity: "We want them infected", and an email touting the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine sent to the FDA Commissioner, at the time — Dr. Hahn (@SteveFDA).
Here's a clip of @chrislhayes covering Dr. Paul Jackson's words during the height of a worldwide pandemic: "We want them infected." (1:20)
Now he's advising "grassroots" anti-vax parent movements across the nation. Let that sink in.
Full Vid (8:12):

I learned plenty about Dr. Aaron Kheriaty the moment he QTd me. And I've covered Dr. Paul "We want them infected" Alexander, so let's continue from the bottom up, with Dr. Robert Malone and then Dr. Peter McCullough.
17/
Dr. Robert Malone joined firm as Chief Medical and Regulatory Officer 2 days ago on 11/15/2021. Tucker Carlson had him on—after YouTube took down his podcast for some reason, but I really don't care why.
You might need more info, but I don't.
Next: Dr. Peter McCullough
18/
Dr. Peter McCullough is a Strategic Advisory Council Member with The Unity Project.
Baylor Medical Center of Dallas Texas has recently tried to distance themselves from the doctor for "his dozens if not hundreds of interviews in print and video".
I wonder why?
19/
Okay. I think I've read enough to get an idea of Dr. Peter McCullough's views on the pandemic, hydroxychloroquine, bioterrorism and "crimes against humanity".
Note: The count of the word "Baylor" in any Dr. Peter McCullough bio on their website as of today: 0
Next: how many other "Globally Esteemed Experts in Health Care and Science, Business Leaders, Grassroots Groups and Concerned Citizens" are connected to The Unity Project?
The one resource that made me cringe the most is the Videos section. 3 of the 4 of the videos they promote are from Peggy Hall.
If you don't know who she is, don your tinfoil hat and follow along for a quick tutorial.
24/
I recognized Peggy Hall from a previous thread I did asking my local "conservative" @KUSINews station to stop having Dr. Jeff Barke on as guest.
Make your own conclusions:
25/
I guess the argument could be made that the law firm doesn't know about the guests Peggy Hall chooses to have on her show. However, Hoag Hospital in Orange County took note and distanced themselves from her guest back in September of 2020.
To reach the maximum number of people, the law firm provides pre-printed PDF material in multiple languages including English, Spanish and Vietnamese. Not surprisingly, the law firm's website was created in June 2021, and seems to be very specialized.
27/
Here's a snapshot of a few of the documents prepared by the law firm. (1 of 3)
The "and we are majority" made me chuckle.
28/
This part of the same document seems to have been written by a preventable disease, but I'm not sure. (2 of 3)
29/
And like any good law firm supporting "grassroots" groups defending the "kiddos", ask your clients for a lot of money. (3 of 3)
30/
My personal favorite discovery was to see Sharon McKeeman's group "Let Them Breathe" listed as an ally by a law firm supporting the The Unity Group.
Protesters linked to LTB attempted a takeover of a Poway school board meeting on September 9, 2021.
31/
Here's a thread about what happened at the Poway school board in September. It received minimal coverage by local stations in San Diego.
The "Facts Truth Law Justice, LLP" website has been around longer than their partner "The Unity Project" or their strategic partners like "Moms On The Ground". Both of these websites were created last month, while has been around since...June? 🙄
Nearly 30 minutes into a new 45 minute interview (11/23/21) Dr. Paul Alexander finally explains what he meant by: "we need them infected"
"...I never said that...I never meant that..." 😬
43/
Dr. Alexander's emails in question are below. They were released by the House Select Subcommittee investigating the Trump administration's response to Covid.
You be the judge, and remember this guy is advising anti-vax groups around California and beyond. #TheUnityProject
44/
Update 12/5/2021: (i know, I know...this is more of a rolling scratch pad than a thread now, but it's like disinfopalooza over at #TheUnityProject) Please 🐻 with me.
They started by reminiscing about the DTM rally in DC that was held on 1/23; it seems Matt isn't too sure about the turnout this time, imo; promoting the 74° weather expected instead of scheduled speakers; Stephanie (and others from CHD) will be speaking Sunday.
>>
Los Angeles is tyrannical; they're going to give the middle finger to the man; not going to comply; Matt says his team are on the ground rn and can't believe ppl are still wearing masks (👋); Matt hopes this is the last DTM rally (he's not alone).
It takes Jimmy Dore 33 of 44 seconds to read off the list of organizations Dr. Aaron Kheriaty is currently affiliated with.
He failed to mention one.
The one that is deeply involved in the promotion and production of the event they're currently plugging on Jimmy's show. 🤔
Not only are they deeply involved in the Defeat The Mandates rally, The Unity Project's Chief Scientific Officer is riding along with the THE PEOPLE'S CONVOY ON THEIR WAY TO ABOVE MENTIONED RALLY.
lol. If anyone wants a preview of the misinformation "America's most trusted Covid-19 doctor" will spew on 4/10, register now!
As predicted, they're using video from The People's Convoy meeting with Ron Johnson and Ted Cruz in this promo. Thannks, Senators.
That's why the stupid grand jury thing is so dangerous. It doesn't matter how well (or bad) it comes off during the 5-days. They'll cherry-pick clips and play them over and over, putting the entire Fauci family in (even more) danger.
Meanwhile, The Unity Project seems to be distancing itself from their Defeat The Mandates GiveSendGo account ahead of the April 10th rally in Los Angeles.
2/
I started following Ian (Steve Bannon's guy) on Gettr on 2/22 and his video is how I confirmed The Unity Project leadership team was on the "HQ RV". Thanks, Ian.
Side note: Dr. Paul Alexander remains very thirsty for attention.
