Everyone should know this quote. There was never a “war on Christmas.” The Christian Right’s liberties were never under attack. They claimed otherwise as a ploy to position themselves to force their own extreme version of Christianity down the nation’s throat. #Christofascism 1/ Image
2/ Source for quote. I first learned of the quote from @DavidDark biblicalhorizons.com/wp-content/upl… Image
3/ “GARY NORTH (1942-2022) SOUGHT TO DENY RELIGIOUS LIBERTY TO ‘THE ENEMIES OF GOD’ — BUT HE WAS WILLING TO WAIT PATIENTLY FOR THE REVOLUTION TO DEVELOP” by @FredClarkson, 3/29/22 religiondispatches.org/gary-north-194…

6/ North was a founding board member of the Council for National Policy (CNP), an umbrella organization for the Christian Right and wealthy financiers. Image
7/ The CNP’s members have included such unfortunately influential people as KellyAnne Conway, Steve Bannon, Charlie Kirk, Jack Posobiec, Ali Alexander, Ed Martin, Michael Farris, Morton Blackwell, Newt Gingrich, the Mercers, and members of the DeVos and Prince families.
8/ If you haven’t read this article by @anelsona, then you must. It details the CNP’s heavy hand in the effort to overturn the 2020 election. washingtonspectator.org/nelson-cnp/
11/ CNP member Michael Farris. archive.ph/2022.10.19-110… Image
12/ CNP members Ed Martin (a close friend of Roger Stone) & Tom Fitton called upon Trump to pardon Stone & Michael Flynn (which Trump did). Martin & Fitton were then heavily involved in efforts to overturn the election, as I reported here 4 @BucksCoBeacon. buckscountybeacon.com/2023/05/part-5…

In sum, the jury found that Trump falsified business records to aid or conceal an effort to help him win the 2016 election by “unlawful means” (under NY law). The “unlawful means” involved covering up a hush money payment to a porn star b4 the election. 1/ forbes.com/sites/alisondu…

In sum, Trump rigged the 2016 election by illegally falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to a porn star. Trump’s behavior defrauded voters, but Trump & MAGAs falsely claim that TRUMP is the victim. 1/ theguardian.com/us-news/articl…

Rep. Thomas Massie has introduced a bill to abolish the Federal Reserve. (You can see the co-sponsors in post 2.) Project 2025 has teased this as a possibility as well. Massie apparently hopes to move the Overton window. 5/17/24 h/t @MomsSol

2/ “According to BNP Paribas, a bank, ‘Hungary has one of the worst performing economies in the region.’” Image
3/ “Hungary is also haemorrhaging people. While foreign investment has unquestionably created jobs, it has not been able to stop a significant brain drain, with skilled workers emigrating in search of higher wages and better living conditions.”

😳 Project 2025 wld “increase the risk of financial crises, undermining confidence in the U.S. banking system & its financial markets” bc it calls for the next [GOP] president to reduce the power of the Federal Reserve, limiting its ability to serve as a so-called lender of last resort for banks & other financial institutions facing cash crunches.” 1/ nytimes.com/2024/04/07/mag…Image
2/ “Trump has also proposed a 10 percent tariff on all imported goods, which would amount to the declaration of a global trade war, with other countries almost certainly retaliating with their own tariffs.
Together, these protectionist policies would drive up the cost of goods, create sweeping supply-chain issues and quite possibly cause hyperinflation.”
3/ “We’re talking about massive economic shock waves,” says Lisa Graves, executive director of True North Research.

😳 The Trump campaign has chosen Schlafly Eagles president Ed Martin—Roger Stone’s good friend who co-led “Stop the Steal” w/ Ali Alexander—to co-lead the RNC’s Platform Committee. (Martin blew off his Jan 6 Committee subpoena. He also runs “America’s Future” w/ Mike Flynn,) 1/ Image
