American Oversight provides the links connecting Ginni Thomas's #Groundswell (now Third Century Group) with United in Purpose/Ziklag, and by extension ASOG/Every Legal Vote and efforts to overturn the election.
UIP was started by Bill Dallas, who found Jesus when serving time for extortion. Bill built a data-mining enterprise, and numerous religious/political orgs use to target voter categories.
It seems the data or the program is deeply flawed, however, and many states showed that voters who were registered, were listed as unregistered in the UIP data-mined list.
So the uber-wealthy of Ziklag have joined forces with the super politically-connected.
I also saw (thx to AO) that Ginni's Third Century Group, specifically Mark A. Gauther, connects #Groundswell/3rd Cen with a massive Christian group, CRU Global.
CRU Global was originally known as College Crusaders for Christ, and they operate in multiple countries.
The founder of CRU, Bill Bright, who was also the co-founder of Alliance Defending Freedom/Blackstone Legal Fellowship.
Blackstone Legal Fellowship brought us Amy Coney Barrett. 🙄
These organizations frequently use the word "freedoms", but the net effect of their combined 100's of $M's is to ABOLISH human rights that we have worked so hard to gain. 🥺
*embezzlement (not extortion) 😆
Different crime. Still did time. ⏱️

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.🙄
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.
Kast is popular with our right wing. Not surprising.
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.
