Roger Stone accused the RNC of trying to steal the 2016 nomination from Trump, the Ds of trying to steal the 2016 general election from Trump, & anyone & everyone of trying to steal the 2020 election from Trump. 1/ link.medium.com/xMLKPAnkLnb
“It was Stone who coined the phrase ‘Stop the Steal’ in 2016. Stone deployed the ‘Stop the Steal’ slogan again during the Florida recount in 2018 and yet again in 2020.” 2/
It was Roger Stone and Alex Jones who courted the Bundys who had put the Oath Keepers on the map during the 2014 armed standoff w/ the federal government. 3/ link.medium.com/ea4GVgCkLnb
Roger Stone & Alex Jones also have close ties to the Proud Boys, which were conveniently founded in 2016 by one of Stone’s friends. 4/ jennycohn1.medium.com/roger-stone-al…
As the Daily Kos wrote in 2017, the “American militia movement over the last few decades has periods of relative silence, in which the groups stew over past grudges, & then there’s a flashpoint. If that anger boils over down the road, [Roger] Stone will have had a hand in it.” 7/

Jacob Engels is Roger Stone’s “mini me” and he appears to have worked closely w/ some of the Proud Boys on the use of PSYOPs & political sabotage. 13/
Engels worked w/ Enrique Tarrio (who was the Proud Boys national chairman on Jan 6) to take down Andrew Gillum. 14/
21/ This is interesting. Milo seems to be a Roger Stone muse. They are close. Stone had many photos of Milo on his Instagram account. Tweet below is from July 2016.
29/ As I said, Gavin founded the Proud Boys. Laura Loomer is another Roger Stone protege & agent provocateur. She is running for office in Florida, Roger’s base of operations (also where Jacob Engels & Enrique Tarrio live).
Terrific post by @LuluFriesdat of @Smart_elections —which seeks a hand recount of the presidential election in Rockland County, NY—in which they correct those who have wrongly suggested that Smart Elections’ legitimate concerns & findings thus far amount to “proof” that the election was rigged for Trump.
THIS is what credible election integrity messaging looks like: “Are we concerned about all the software updates they released? You bet we are. Can we say conclusively that there was some kind of malware in those updates that changed vote totals? No we cannot. That’s why we’re in court. To get that kind of information.”

Those of you who have followed me for years know that I spent about four years of my life focusing on election security. (See my article below.) 2/ buckscountybeacon.com/2023/10/trump-…
3/ After the Big Lie, I felt that the movement had been so discredited—by people improperly conflating vulnerabilities with “proof” of fraud & then using that non-existent “proof” to justify violence—that I could no longer effectively advance this ball.
“As of three weeks ago, 172 of these individuals [pardoned by Trump] had pled guilty to assaulting law enforcement. By their own admission, they assaulted police. About 140 officers were injured, including Officer Brian Sicknick, who died the following day. Four officers who responded that day have since died by suicide.” 1/25/25 (Link in post 2.)

Trump has picked Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK & who performed the Nazi salute on video (in apparent defense of Elon Musk). 1/
MAGA’s favorite White South African activist group—Afriforum—admitted last year that “there is no white genocide going on in South Africa.”
(In 2018, Afriforum had traveled to the US to discuss their claim that White South African farmers were being murdered due to their race. They have since hobnobbed with Tucker Carlson, Jack Posobiec, New Founding, CPAC, & NatCon.) 1/
The Center for Renewing America—founded by Trump’s OMB Director pick Russ Vought, a top architect of Project 2025—has *explicitly* said that it wants the federal govt to “eliminate” Obamacare’s life-saving Medicaid expansion. Here are some stats on the expansion. 1/ cbpp.org/research/healt…
