Gotta luv 🥰 a good deposition.

Doug Logan, stand-in for Flynn, gets deposed and we see many figures in the #fraudit carnival. 🤡
documentcloud.org/documents/2120…
Russ Ramsland and ASOG have been covered extensively, but a group that's new to me appeared.

Understanding the Threat.

Specifically, Stephanie Ameiss from UTT performed background checks on audit subcontractors & volunteers.

She's probably the least extreme member of UTT. ImageImage
I'm only halfway through the deposition, but Stephanie appears to be the only UTT member officially involved in the audit.

Let's take a look at the other members...
Like Stephanie, the founder of Understanding the Threat has a long history in LE.

Even before establishing the anti-Islamic UTT, John Guandolo got himself into a few jams for his extreme views and conspiracy theories. ImageImageImage
Worth noting John's military training, his status as a Knight of Malta, and that he's a Claremont Institute fellow. 👀🧐

Peggy Mast has a political (and anti-Islamic) background.

🚨 But take a look at the part of her bio that expresses a viewpoint eerily similar to Mike Flynn's in regards to Fetulla Gulen.

Coincidence? Image
Hey, keeping an eye on Islamic extremism is wise.

Flynn's circle of associates, however, are so Islamophobic, that they are seeing threats where they don't exist, and turning that fear into damaging behaviors. 😟
Vice President of UTT, John Bennett, is the chair of the Oklahoma republican Party and former state rep.

He notes his training in SpecOps, DIA and "tactical and vehicle training from Blackwater." ⬅️

You don't say?! 🤨 My head hurts. ImageImage
Back to the depo. The next #fraudit clown is Jovan Pulitzer.

There's been plenty of coverage of him, but I wanted to put a reminder out that Pulitzer is a fellow at Flynn-connected Gold Institute for International Strategy. 🥺 ImageImageImage
I'll wrap up with "Dr. Shiva" as Doug referred to him.
He's an anti-vax, conspiracy-theorist Republican who ran against Elizabeth Warren in 2018

I could go into more detail, but c'mon. 😆 ImageImageImage
It's clear that Doug Logan was just a place-holder from the others who were running the dumbshow.

It's also clear that NONE of those people should be within shouting distance of elections or audits. 🎪

James Bopp tried to push this falsehood right before Obama was elected with his electioneering ads through The Real Truth About Obama.

Was going to use the voice of a man who sounded like Obama...

Image
Image
When the FEC had a problem with it, he sued.
Image
Image
After Obama was elected, Bopp changed the name of the org to The Real Truth About Abortion.

Note Laura Echevarria on the board.

The groups behind Issue 1 ( to increase the threshold to 60% for putting an amendment on the ballot), are the same groups diverting public school $ to private, Christian schools and removing LGBTQ rights. https://t.co/rewXNMrGWP

They've been busy plastering Ohio with misleading political mailers disguised as "news." They warn of "radical outside interests" trying to change their Constitution, but fail to disclose their own radical outside interests.

Worth mentioning the law office of David Langdon, who has been at the center of right-wing causes in OH (and elsewhere) for many years. FEC and IRS have taken notice...

Where was I? Oh yes, the failed Venezuela coup-thingy by Silvercorp.

Goudreau (while pitching his Gideon plan) apparently contacted Nestor Sainz/Global Governments Center , who put G in touch with Keith Schiller's former attorney.

It should be pointed out that Global Governments Center shares/shared an address with law firm Shaerr Jaffe LLC, who lists attorneys with....notable...backgrounds, like Ken Klukowski, Mark Paoletta and James Heilpern. Many are also graduates of Brigham Young.
Heilpern started an org called Judicial Education Institute with Diarmuid O'Scannlain (former conservative justice) and Lorraine Updike Toler.

Lorraine is an accomplished constitutional scholar whose mother is a long time officer of Eagle Forum in Utah.

The Harris County election suppression bills - one submitted by Rep Paul Bettencourt - are all part of 🦇💩😜 Steven Hotze (repub donor) and his three ring circus.🎪

Below is just one pre-election suppression effort. There were several pre & post-election suits.🙄 Image
But the bill to eliminate the Election Administrator in Harris County was submitted by Bittencourt - who is part of the same circus (right wing religious/voter supression) as Hotze.

The direction to look in is Bittencourt's previous association with David Welch and Norman Adams.
Bittencourt, Welch and Adams were partnered for Coalition for a Greater Houston.

David Welch is a long-term board member of U.S. Pastor's Council and (former) Faithful Citizenship Ministries.

Pinochet's fanboy in Chile, Jose Kast, is again gaining popularity. (Kast's father was a Nazi)

msn.com/en-us/news/wor… Image
Kast is popular with our right wing. Not surprising. Image
Pinochet received a huge boost (unfortunately) from the U.S. - with deep roots from the Nixon administration. Nixon-era-born Roger Stone groomed the PB's, who are proud Pinochet fans. ImageImageImage

"...think tanks are less free actors than a coordinated collection of corporate front groups..."
-Jane Mayer

newyorker.com/news/news-desk…
Industrialists, politicians, lobbyists, operatives and activists make up the fabric of most conservative "think tanks" I have looked at.

Their purpose seems to be to amplify messaging, influence policy (lobbying), and to employ conservatives between gigs. 😅
Lets look at a couple.

We've covered Susan Gore (Gore Tex heiress) and Wyoming Liberty Group before...
