Pretty sure this one didn't even happen...but Buffalo is Roger Stone/Mike Caputo country
So someone asked for a quick walk down memory lane of Club for Growth
and their role in the Koch funded Dark Money empire that tried to deliver America to russia on behalf of Big Oil.
But who is Club for Growth? What is the history?
Club For Growth was Started by Richard Gilder. He had started a group called "Political Club for Growth" and a company called Gilder Gagnon Howe & Company,
Gilder Gagnon Howe & Company would invest, and eventually bankrupt the Texas Rangers with George H Bush
Gilder was big in in the New York investments scene and hung with those at the Manhattan Institute trying to privatize social security and public education
Through out 80-90's Gilder would host megadonor get togethers called "Political Club for Growth" to raise money for folks like Newt Gingrich and Steve Forbes
...weird...there is some shady real estate deals involved
there seems to always be almost money laundering everywhere
Gilder would be joined by a few others like Stephen Moore of the CATO Institute and formalize his Club into the "Club for Growth"
The Board of Director's include a whose who of disinfo like Brett Bozell and folks who helped MAGA and russia capture the Supreme Court such as Harlan Crowe
And a ton of really, really rich people
More than any ohter org outside of Grover Norquist (who was associated) the Club for Growth enforced a fierce fealty test for the @GOP
In fact, in 2004, they even forced Stephen Moore out of the group he funded
Moore is the first person to use the term RINO
Club for Growth even had a RINO tracker on their website
@GOP The blind faith the @GOP now shows for MAGA simply would not be possible with the early efforts of the Club for Growth
They created the perception that if you weren't 100% loyal you were really lefty.
@GOP Club for Growth immediatley adopted the idea of creating "Liberal" as a bad word
and started to dump millions and millions into winning Congressional seats
@GOP They would spend millions.
There atacks on Howard Dean are some of the most famous:
And Club for Growth viciously attacked anyone who broke from their idea of party fealty
ask Joe Schwartz
they integrated with the other places of early disinfo and insifno like townhall
I can't prove it but I would assume Koch's i360 or Mercer's rentech was doing the data mesh
@GOP They would win...Andrew Roth being the Blogger..Best Business Blog of the Year in 2005
I mean it sounds all innocent enough...The Club for Growth never got to up anything shady.....
well the FEC, Federal Electyion Committee Disagreed
@GOP Turns out Club for Growth was illegally bundling donations
And the FEC sued them
@GOP And also Down the Fed...back to the Gold Standard...because you know....John Birch Society, General Singlaub, and the the @GOP
@GOP and they went after the RINOS hard
(source warning...Washington Times is a Looney Mooney disinfo rag)
@GOP But they were supporting many of the oddballs who would become the backbone of MAGA and QANON in Congress
Going back to 2006 with folks like Gym Jordan and Sharon Angle
@GOP After Citiizens United Club for Growth let the flood gates of Koch money flow...especially in Wisconsin
Eric O'Keefe, a Koch brothers simp, formed the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity and also American Majority
all to push Gov Walker's attacks on Unions
@GOP Peter Thiel
John W. Childs
Robert Mercer
Paul Singer
Jeffrey Yass
Uline
would also fund Club for Growth...it was MAGA money class before MAGA
C;ub for Growth would oppose the Bush auto bailouts of 2008 while Jeffrey Yasss made a gajillion dollars on shorts and no American profited more from the 2008 than Paul Singer
It's the Elite suits...using the anti-elite freedumb chudniks to line their pockets...again...like always
@GOP After Citizens United the Club for Growth's first targe was B;ue Dog Democrats
these were center-right democrats who help create a bipartisan atmosphere in Congress
Club for Growth wanted them all gone
@GOP They went after any district hard in 2010 where "Blue Dogs" helped create a bipartisan atmosphere
@GOP The Club for Growth threw their support behind Jeff Flake hard in Arizona:
By 2011 the Club for Growth was fully aligned with the Koch choice of anointed one Ted Cruz
They dumped more money into his race than any they had in history
Remember...it was supposed to be Cruz in 16, not Trump
they say no coordination...but ALEC, FreedomWorks, SPN, and Club for Growth all worked together on the organic Tea Party lie
@GOP rush limbaugh was a huge sponor, as was Steve Forbes
And Club for Growth hates the Affordable Care Act
They do now want you to have access to any kind of government subsidies to lower the cost of skyrocketing insurance
and they 100% wnat to private Social Security
This would eventually cost Pat Toomey his seat in Pennsylvania
Turns out voters like the Affordable Care Act and Social Security
Yet every year the @gop tries to kill both
@GOP How many Kremlin influenced, coup supporting kookeys are in the Club for Growth donor list of 2910?
I can spot a few names
@GOP This pattern would continue
and the here is the mostest of silliest parts.
The Club for Growth would always pretend to be the NOT MAGA option
but look who Club for Growth funded in 2020
that's like a KFC bucket of MAGA
@RonnyJacksonTX Will you tell us abotu [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) stoke first?
@RonnyJacksonTX [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Who was taking all the provigil @RonnyJacksonTX ?
@RonnyJacksonTX [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Modafinil is used to treat Stroke recovery patiens, right? Rigth Kaptain Ketamine?
@RonnyJacksonTX [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) It's like Modafinil is becoming a very important Stroke drug right Kaptain Ketamine?
How about Ambien, or Zolpidem?
@RonnyJacksonTX [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Zolpidem, known by it's name brand Ambie is also being used as an experimental Stroke treatment druge right
@RonnyJacksonTX ?
@RonnyJacksonTX [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Why aren't you holding a Press Conference to discuss [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Stroke @RonnyJacksonTX
@RonnyJacksonTX [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Hpw about the OT pads commonly used with Stroke patients we see at Trump's rallies.
Why won't you come clean with a Stroke @RonnyJacksonTX ?
Dear Press,
way to spot russian Active Measures (or MAGA, samsies) is to see if they "prime the pump"
Even in times of KGB you "primed the pump" before attacking info space
What happened before the debate?
@cnn [@abcnews](https://micro.blog/abcnews) @nbcbews @CBSNews @washingtonpost @PhillyInquirer
So @cnn if the right wing media was lying about Biden's mental decline before the debate?
Doesn't it seem logical they are still lying after the debate?
@CNN How about you @washingtonpost ?
You reported on efforts to question if Biden had gone senile before the debate....
But now you are playing the "is it Parkinson's debate...from @nypost, Doocy of Fox News, and White House Drug Dealer Kaptain Ketamine Ronny Jackson
See it yet?
@CNN @washingtonpost @nypost How about you @nbcnews?
You detailed leading up to the debate that the media was trying to make Joe Biden look like an Alzehiemer's patient.
Isn't it logical...the same thing is happening now?
but you spent a week asking "Is Biden to Old?" not "Did Trump rape a 12 year old?"
@CNN @washingtonpost @nypost @NBCNews And of course nobody should be surprised ter New Orc Times covers the misleading videos while still throwing shade on Biden's age
the @nytimes is basically a full blown PR wing of MAGA
weird business model, chasing customers who don't read news, maybe you made too many games
and hey @USATODAY You were reporting on the misleading videos edits prior to the debate
Maybe....possibly "Biden has Parkinsons" is still part of the same Active Measures?
And you owe your readers a bit of context?
Ohh yeah palm Beach Epstein files came out a week ago
@USATODAY So for the love of God
[@abcnews](https://micro.blog/abcnews) @cbsnews @nbcnews @washingtonpost @usatoday @CNN
Do an all hands and cover the feint of Hillary Faint September 11, 2016
Cover the DHS files Chris Wolf suppressed July 7, 2020 as reported in [@abcnews](https://micro.blog/abcnews)
you getting played by a child rapist
Did you know Christopher Ruddy and Newsmax are OG disifno rags?
It goes back to the Clinton Days and trying to frame them for the death of Vincent Foster
All funded by the Ruchard Scaife Mellon Foundation
Ruddy and Newsmax are a threat to American democracy
Christopher Ruddy has built his entire career around being a professional liar.
The story begins in Pittsburgh all funded by the Richard Scaife Mellon Foundation and Richard Scaife himself
Ruddy started writing for Richard Scaife's newspaper in Ptissburgh
They say Muckracker" during the Clinton years but they really mean "Lying your face off"
All funded by Richard Mellon Scaife who spent $800 million of the Mellon fortune to set up the the right wing conspiracy machine back in the 80s and 90s
He would fund psuedo-science libertarian think tanks to produce disinfo, and then have his papers report on the disinfo
Through the Carthage, Sarah Mellon Scaife, and Allegheny Foundations Scaife funded Newt Gingrich's GOPAC and Chris Ruddy
Scaife also gave over five million dollars to fund Weyrich and Lind's Freedom Congress Foundation
and over a 1/2 million to Accuracy in Media
All by 1993
How does this pply to Chris Ruddy and Newsmax?
Well Vincent Foster
See Scaife funded the Western Center of Journalism..run by Joseph Farah...who did WolrdNewsDaily with Jerome Cosi
They would make up all the lies on Vincent Foster and Scaife would have Ruddy do articles
Ruddy would start Newsmax in 1998 with Richard Scaife
The Clinton's would do an in-depth investigation of Christopher Ruddy and Richard Melon Scaife
Honestly the liars then are the liars now
MAGA has never changed from it's John Birch Society rootswashingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politic…
It wasn't really called "disinformation" or "fake news" yet
The Clinton's called it the "Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce"
A lot alliteration to say "lying grifters"
s3.documentcloud.org/documents/1115…
Newsmax had started as a web only streaming service. It would be the rise of MAGA and Trump that brought them to Cable TV.
web.archive.org/web/2011062813…
NewsMax went hard after immigration in the early 2000
And would interview anyone willing to complain about the coming invasion
(it's like this supposed invasion....is all a lie)
source: splcenter.org/hatewatch/2008…
James H. Walsh, former associate general counsel for U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, would write anti-immigration screeds blaming the Jews for flooding the US
He would cite Holocaust denier Kevin MacDonald to prove Jews did it
newsmax.com/Pre-2008/Immig…
Neo-nazi Michelle Malkin was a long time NewsMax contributor
“hand to hand, pen to pen combat against the vast anti-white, anti-American forces bent on demographic mass murder,”
she would write...this is MAGA..this is the root philosophy
all spread by Ruddy and NewsMax
The Child Rapist who let [@realdonaldtrump](https://micro.blog/realdonaldtrump) get away with raping children with Jeffery Epstein, @AlanDersh , Alan Dershowitz
Is a long time NewsMax contributor
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @AlanDersh When NewsMax hit the Cable airwaves their entire business model revolved around lying to Boomers about [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump)
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @AlanDersh NewsMax and Chris Ruddy became a central mouthpiece in spreading the Big Lie that Biden cheated and stole the 2020 election
sun-sentinel.com/2020/11/12/sou…
Like Ruddy and NewsMax lied A LOT about stolent elections
They went after smartmatic voting machines hard:
Ruddy's ENTIRE career has been one of being a liarpolitifact.com/article/2020/d…
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @AlanDersh Turns out Smartmatic didn't take too kindly to having their business integrity lied about: washingtonpost.com/media/2020/12/…
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @AlanDersh NewsMax would lie about Covid too
Allowing Peter King to go on often and talk about being a biological weapons attack from China
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @AlanDersh Michelle Malikn would make an appearance, this time as guest and not host, and demand Medals instead of Prison Time for the Proud Boys
Newsmax lying did not stop with the elections
Thye were also found to be one of the Toxic Ten
Ten web properties responsible for all climate denial disinfo on facebook
web.archive.org/web/2021110417…
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @AlanDersh NewsMax plans an IPO in the next year....not sure about you.,..but lying is prolly a bad business model...even if newsmax made a ton of money as liars
it doesn't work out in the end
Being a liar
It is really icky, Christopher Ruddy
I deleted my #TrumpPedoFiles Thread because it was getting messy
Figure best to start Over.
There are three relevant sets of docs in the #TrumpPedoFiles
-Katie Johnson lawsuit
-Guiffre v. Maxell
-Palm Beach Grand Jury files
@alandersh negoitated the NPA in Balm Beach
This is a link to Giuffre v. Maxwell
It is in this case where we find @alandersh and @cernovich mucking about during "Hillary Faint" and #PizzaGate
courtlistener.com/docket/4355835…
The Ms. Johnson lawsuit against Jeffrey Epstein is NO. 09-80469-CIV-MARRA/JOHNSON (S.D. Fla. Aug. 11, 2009
Epstein used the the NPA negotiated by @alandersh to get much of the case against Ms. Johnson dismissedcasetext.com/case/doe-v-eps…
@AlanDersh This is the Link to the Palm Beach Grand Jury release:
State of Florida v. Jeffrey Epstein, Case Numbers 06CF009454AMB and 08CF009381AMB
Together this set of documents make up the #TrumpPedoFilessa15.org/public-records/
@AlanDersh When you are looking at artifacts from ther #TrumpPedoFiles it is important to know which of the sources the artifacts come from.
For example Giuffre vs Maxwell all stem from the Non-Prosecuction Agreement (NPA) that @AlanDersh negotiated with Alexander Acosta
@AlanDersh After Bill Barr, @alandersh, and Alexander Acosta gave Jeffery Epstein a sweet heart deal Jane Doe 1” and “Jane Doe 2,” filed suit in Southern District of Florida.
said their rights were violated under the Crime
Victims’ Rights Act (CVRA) because @alandersh negotiated in secret
@AlanDersh Then On December 30, 2014 two additional Jane Doe's wanted to join the CRVA lawsuit
Virginia Giuffre decided to use her real name once she came into the majority.
@alandersh wanted his name out of it, but no worries Judge Kenneth A. Marra and took everyone's names out of suit
@AlanDersh The details of @alandersh sweetheart deal and all the names Judge Marra removed from the case still leaked and hit the press.
Ghislaine Maxwell had a PR person go, "Nopsey, not true"
Once that happened Giuffre decided to sure Ghislaine too,
That's Giuffre v Maxwell
@AlanDersh August 11, 2016, Dershowitz moved to intervene, seeking to unseal 3 documents t, he says demonstrate Giuffre invented the accusations against him.
Jan 19, 2017, Cernovich,moved to intervene, seeking to unseal the summary judgment record, and Dershowitz joined his motion.
@AlanDersh Jane Doe AKA "Natalie Johnson" dropped her case Nov 4, 2016
Her law firm reported many death threats at the time
The Giuffre Lawsuit was dismissed May, 25, 2017
So you need to remember Guiffre was in on the OG lawsuit filed with Jane Doe 1 and Jane Doe 3
She then started ANOTHER lawsuit once Ghislaine Maxwell publicly denied the charges of raping children
Maxwell is in jail for raping children
she didn't get suicided
How do these as #TrumpPedoFiles?
Alexander Acotsa and Bill Barr were rewarded, or more Barr brought to manage child rapist [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) and Jeffery Epstein fall out
gets worse
Giuffre was studying massage at Mar-a-Lago when Ghislaine Maxwell recruited her as slave
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Jane Doe 3 said Epstein took her, Virginia Giuffre, and Ghislaine Maxwell to Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City when Giuffre was a minor
Jane Doe 3's testimony is damning in supporting both Giuffre and Ms. Johnson's claims
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Jane Doe testified that Jeffery Epstein forced her to have sex with @alandersh many times
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @AlanDersh Meanwhile @alandersh had his trolls scouring MySpace and was using this information to slut-shame the victims
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @AlanDersh #TrumpPedoFiles in totality
1) Johnson suit
2) Tiffany Doe statement
3) Jane Doe 3 accusations against Dershowitz
4) Dershowitz and Trump being clients
5) Bill Barr and Kirkland & Ellis
6) NPA with Acosta
7) Cernovich and Dershowtiz
8) Threats
9) Trump hiring Acosta and Barr
Hoseini, M., Melo, P., Benevenuto, F., Feldmann, A., & Zannettou, S. (2023, April). On the globalization of the QAnon conspiracy theory through Telegram. In Proceedings of the 15th ACM Web Science Conference 2023 (pp. 75-85).
Telegram was used in a global wide narrative attack
It's like Telegram became the main weapon to attack Democracies across the globe:
rollingstone.com/culture/cultur…
And Qanon Telegram digital terrorists tried to impact the 2022 Congressional Elections in the United States
mediamatters.org/qanon-conspira…
But Qanon became a very European Problem
All through Durov's Telegram
politico.eu/article/qanon-…
The topics from Hoesini et al that were popular on Telegram are a montage of forty years of crazy
Outside of English they trend really European
Especially Germany, Italy, Spain
Schulze, H., Hohner, J., Greipl, S., Girgnhuber, M., Desta, I., & Rieger, D. (2022). Far-right conspiracy groups on fringe platforms: A longitudinal analysis of radicalization dynamics on Telegram. Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies
‘the increasing challenge to the legitimacy of a normative order and/or the increasing willingness to fight the institutional structure of this order’
Gaspar (2020) def of radicalization
Telegram was an attack space AND a weapon used to radicalize people through conspiracy theories
Y'all folks are thinking too small on Durov with sex trafficking and drugs
think more toppling governments
The sheer number of Telegram channels focused on undermining Governments in the European Union is astounding
A ton of QAnon and Nazis
weird nobody, not one person, in EU or Europe have gotten in trouble
Weird how the "Qanon experts" avoid the truth
And it's like we can statistically prove there was an increase in violent discourse across the Conspiracy laden Telegram Attack Spaces
Maybe the "Qanon Experts" are more shills than Discourse Analysis Experts
Cuz academics can see it....
It seems the Dutch had a massive Qanon, Telegram, and radicalization problem
Schulze, H., Hohner, J., Greipl, S., Girgnhuber, M., Desta, I., & Rieger, D. (2022). Far-right conspiracy groups on fringe platforms: A longitudinal analysis of radicalization dynamics on Telegram. Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies, 28(4), 1103-1126.
Willaert et al's study looked at a short time period and a whopping 215 public Telegram channels and 371,951 messages
This did not happen organically
The spread of QAnon from the US into the European Union was a deliberate terrorist attack
Telegram was the weapon
For the data nand discourse analysis methodology nerds
Good bit on using web crawlers in Willaert et al
cc/ @Ebonyteach @SeesyouS
@Ebonyteach @SeesyouS If you think this could all happen without deep involvement of Durov and russian Intelligence I got a Kerch bridge to sell you
Many co-conspirators in the US involved in Telegram's terrorist attacks on EU
EU might want to think about extradition since the US seems to nothing
@Ebonyteach @SeesyouS Look how fast Qanon spread on Dutch Telegram
You think that is organic and not involving elements of russian intelligence, MAGA, and trolls in the Emirates????

I thought it best to roll back to the tape to the first time russia media and [@realdonaldtrump](https://micro.blog/realdonaldtrump) collaborated.
Birtherism*
(unless you count Central Park Five)
There were so many players involved in Birtherism, names you :
Rush Limbaugh
Dick Morris
Glenn Beck
Sheriff Arpaio
Alan Keyes
Jerome Corsi
And lesser known names
Andy Martin
Ali Pahlavan
Orley Taitz
Alen Berg
Robert Schulz
Gary Kreep
Wiley Drake
Russian media all over it
We don't have to explain how it worked...tons of studies went into spilling words to explain what we know
Birtherism was about othering and anger over a Black Man becoming President
Pushed by people who wanted friendly oil deals with russia and a more aggressive approach in Iran
How did this birtherism stuff all begin?
Well you gotta roll tape back two decades and Barack Obama in 2004
and the story gets started with a crazy FOIAble happy wingnut Andy Martin
Martin, who studied to be a lawyer, but was denied a license
The Illinois bar blocked Martin after a psychiatric finding of “moderately severe character defect manifested by well-documented ideation with a paranoid flavor and a grandiose character.”
That's weird
In fact in 1993 devoted an hourlong program, "See You in Court; Civil War, Anthony Martin Clogs Legal System with Frivolous Lawsuits,"
He helped to invent the @judicialwatch approach of trying shutting everything down by choking agencies with FOIA requests
See back in 1991 a publisher made a mistake with Obama's biography in a pamphlet.
Andy Martin discovered is and in 2004 started to make some noise.
web.archive.org/web/2012070609…
After Martin started to push his Press Release, the Free Republic dot com website, or Freepers, as the liked to be called ran with it for a hot minute
Then in 2006, before substack sent you too many email notification you had email chains
Martin's rumors resurfaced during Obama’s run for Senate but took off in a viral e-mail campaign in 2006. One e-mail called Obama “The Enemy Within"
He was Muslim
latimes.com/archives/la-xp…
All over the Internet blogs started popping up that Barack Obama was a Muslim
Like Ted Sampley
Not only was he soft on Iran...but he even liked their non-Christian God
Stick to the Abraham story .....will ya..otherwise we get Sharia in Arkansas
Things went quiet.
Looking through the Freeper archives and blogs the Obama was a Muslim stuff was always an under current but the Islamophobia of Pamela Gellar and Robert Spencer took Precedent
Until Ali Pahlavan in 2006
Then Birhterism be popping
See in February 2008 on a random legal theory blog someone posited a hypothetical about Barack Obama being born in Kenya
Ali Pahlavan somehow took this out of context and spread it like wildfire, with help.
Pahlavan was a wildly anti-Muslim play write in California
On June 8th 2008 an account using the nickname FARS, a Pahlavan sock puppet, posted a message to the Free Republic Forums.
My apologies date wrong in above tweet
It Was March not June
Pahalavan also blogged under the psuedonym Alan Parsons and he began to spread the Obama Birther conspiracies
Parsons, meaning Pahalvan, took another listicle going around the @GOP email listserves at the time and added the bit of about Obama being born in Kenya
These were then blasted all over the Freeper blogosphere
Obama was African, but not Black, a secret Arab
@GOP Parsons then reposted the Laundry List of Lies to a more "mainstream" Conservative blog
"WakeUpAmerica"
It was dicussed in depth, a day later someone would send an email to Snopes asking for it to get debunked
@GOP Then June 8, 2008 Jim Geraghty, in a National Review Opinion piece calls for Obama to his release birth certificates
Noting nefarious, just to shut up the weirdos
The opposite happened
web.archive.org/web/2008061009…
@GOP Of course Larry C Johnson gets involved and published an article on World News Daily
@GOP It would be right about here I would be looking for russian involvement at the nexus of Bill Binney
Some more on Larry C Johnson en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_C._…
@GOP Pamela Gellar would get involved:
She was at the nexus of a fifty million dollar Islamophobia campaign spread in America
@GOP This is the problem with disinfo in America
It gets hard to separate that paid for by the Mellons and Kochs and coordination with russian allies in places like RT
was RT just copying or colluding?
FreedomWorks hopped all over Birthers
@GOP Jerome Corsi would write a book, of course, if there is anyone who needs to get scopped up for decades of collusion on russian disinfo
It's Jerome Corsi
@GOP The Tea Party really took off with Birtherism...folks like to pretend it was a "tax revolt" and had nothing to do with the Black Guy"
They lie to themselves
Birtherism is about othering
@GOP Then the lawsuits started coming. Hundreds of suits saying Barack Obama wasn't eligible to run
Phiilip Berg
Andy Martin
Orley Taitz
Bob Schulz
Wiley Drake
Alan Keyes all went birther crazy with lawsuits
@GOP Wiley Drake was a hoot:
Wiley Drake
-Supporter of Mike Huckabee’s campaign
-Protested the first Disney Gay Day
-2008 ran as Alan Keyes running mate
-2008 prays for Obama’s death
@GOP Orley Taitz was a washed up russian swimsuit model turned conspiracy legal activist
@GOP Bob Schulz deserves a much closer look. He was a broke grifter wanted for tax evasion at the time and helped to organize the Fash Forward Jekyll Island meeting
@GOP He was under indictment from the Department of Justice at the Time.
He filed so many lawsuite
@GOP Then you have Gary Kreep, he was elected to be a judge for a hot minute
but got in trouble because he is a racist and sexist liar
washingtonpost.com/news/post-nati…
@GOP They didn't need to win the lawsuits
Isn't why folks like @judicialwatch file lawsuits.
They need the racism to be the undertone so folks like Rush Limbaugh would say:
Obama was “more African in his roots than he is American.”
@GOP @JudicialWatch In fact by 2008 all the major Salem Media and @GOP aligned radio hosts were repeating birther lies
Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, Brian Sussman, Lars Larson, Bob Grant, Jim Quinn, Rose Tennent and Mark Davis
All of them. Massive Birthers
@GOP @JudicialWatch Savage would say on radio "Getting ready for the Communist takeover of America with a noncitizen at the helm - I love it,"
Obama was a Muslim Kenyan Communist and they were all coming for your guns
totes promise...now buy some prepper pancake batter and cheap steal rounds
@GOP @JudicialWatch In 2008 Bob Schulz..remember the guy that owed all the back taxes
He would take out full page ads in
Chicago Tribune
Washington Examiner
and Looney Mooney's Washington Times
@GOP @JudicialWatch Schulz would get fined for contempt in Court that same year
@GOP @JudicialWatch Phillip Berg's case would make it all the way to the Supreme Court.
The Justices refused to hear it
Who was pushing the case
Justice Clarence Thomas, of course
@GOP @JudicialWatch By 2008 alone: 842 Birther lawsuits were sought a stay in Obama's election
Only 60 were heard 782 were denied
You think the lawfare tactics of the Kraken and Rudy were new? No...MAGA didn't come from nowhere
This is what folks like Andy Martin and Tom Fitton do
@GOP @JudicialWatch And Birthers help to drive militia growth
@GOP @JudicialWatch And more militia growth:
@GOP @JudicialWatch And this is where is gets hard to separate the "Family" and russia disinfo
Did RT just feel what Corsi was putting down or was there a greater role in funding birtherism coming from russia?
@GOP @JudicialWatch I mean the @GOP got so bad when John McCain had to explain to someone during a Town Hall that Barack Obama wasn't an Arab
The crowd boed
That kind of narrative shaping is just nativisim
politico.com/story/2008/10/…
@GOP @JudicialWatch And to this new "Organic" thing called the Tea Party really took off with Birtherism:
@GOP @JudicialWatch Dinesh D'Sousza would write in Forbes
“From a very young Obama learned to see America as a force for global domination and destruction.”
@GOP @JudicialWatch Andrew C. McCarthy, A Sharia Law author, wrote a 2010 book called The Grand Jihad, arruing Obama wanted to impose Taliban-style Islamic law on the West.
Where does russia begin? What is just legal lying?
Will we ever know the level of collusion?
@GOP @JudicialWatch Field Searcy and other Agenda 21 conspiracy theorists hopped all over Birtherism
@GOP @JudicialWatch In 2010 Glenn Beck started to espouse his Birther lies on @FoxNews and his radio show
Going back to Roger Ailes was there ever a time @foxnews wasn't in the bag for russia?
Who did Rupert Murdoch just marry?
@GOP @JudicialWatch @FoxNews And it worked. By 2010 1/3 of Americans said Barack Obama was a Muslim
A vast majority of @gop members surveyed said Obama wasn't Christian
politico.com/story/2010/08/…
@GOP @JudicialWatch @FoxNews In fact Obama addressed the issue at the National Prayer Breakfast
By now Obama had to know how in bed the Family and NRA was with russia
looking back he is addressing that audience
huffpost.com/entry/obama-ta…
@GOP @JudicialWatch @FoxNews But wow did that nascent network, called Russia Today at the time, and not just RT run with it:
Tomorrow we will start in 2011 and [@realdonaldtrump](https://micro.blog/realdonaldtrump)'s new love Birtherism
@GOP @JudicialWatch @FoxNews [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Yo, @threadreaderapp unroll this please
Let us continue our exploration with Birtherism and the rise of Donald Trump
Remember
-the rumor started in 2004
-took off in 2008
-Barack Obama told russia and the "Family" to STFU at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2010
Then came Donald Trump
Dondal Trump first brought up Birtherism in 2011 at CPAC, when he was first exploring a Presidential Run
c-span.org/video/?297952-…
Trump would immediately hop on phons and call Joseph Farah, Jerome Corsi's partner in crime at World News Daily
“What can we do to get to the bottom of this?” Mr. Trump asked him. “What can we do to turn the tide?” Trump and Joseph Farrah
Trump would go on the View in March of 2011 and say Obama was hiding something in his birth certificate
Five days later on March 28, 2011 Trump would appear on @foxnews to claim Obama wasn't born in America
@FoxNews Then Lauren Ingraham and say
"There's something on that certificate that is very bad for him. Now, somebody told me
it might have 'Muslim.' And if you're a Muslim, you don't change your religion, by the way."
@FoxNews and @NBCNews and the @TODAYshow would platform Trump's birther lies in 2011
"I have people that have been studying [Obama's birth certificate] and they cannot believe what they're finding"
Nobody ever got in trouble for any of these lies
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow Trump would head from the Today show to @morningjoe to make the same lies on April 7, 2011
talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/trump-promi…
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe Then later that day [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) released his long form Birth Cerificate
And [@realdonaldtrump](https://micro.blog/realdonaldtrump) pretended the "issue" was resolved, for a hot minuteobamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2011/04/2…
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Once the Romney campaign kicked off Trump became @GOP besties again and started pushing birther lies
Y'all gotta stop thinking MAGA happened over night or that Tim Pool and Tenet Media are isolated events
thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/…
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP The Tea Party trolls of the Kich Network and @FoxNews like Dick Morris were proud of Trump's birther stance
It legitimizes his candidacy,” Dick Morris told Bill O’Reilly in April 2011. “It empowers Trump,”
Bill O'Reilly felt the same
Birtherism made Trump into the @GOP
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP Then @CNBC would pick up and run with Trump's birtherism in 2012
web.archive.org/web/2017040917…
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC And Trumped hopped right back on the Birtherism lie
Nobody ever stopped these lies, nobody ever got in trouble for Birtherism
There is no MAGA without Birtherism attacks on [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama)
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC Trump would go as far to start saying people were being assassinated to hide Obama's Birth Certificate
Shamefully exploiting a tragic plane crash:
Trump was always a man of no moral character hawaiinewsnow.com/story/31899587…
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC Trump would start gearing up for a Presidential run in 2014 with Birtherism:
If you don't think the Mercers and Steve Bannon weren't tracking and pushing these lies through Cambridge Anaylitca and Palantir...that's crazybuzzfeednews.com/article/andrew…
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC Trump's entire campaign was run on racism and lies
Trump claimed to Wolf Blitzer on January 6, 2016 that he would write his own book on Barack's citizenship
businessinsider.com/donald-trump-o…
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC Birtherism would get tied up with Benghazi and Barack protecting Muslim's in secret and needing to be Impeached
Impeachment Theater been a key @gop strategy since Council for National Policy's Winter 1997 meeting
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC All of the Birthers wanted to Impeach [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama)
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC And the disinfo campaign pushed by Mercers, Trump, @foxnews, and Russia worked
By 2013 64% of Republicans think Obama is hiding something about his past
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC And of course we would get an Agenda21 throwback with Birtherism
We can't leave out Big Oil and the John Birch Society
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC Once 2016 election was in full swing all the russian backed assets, like Roger Stone, and the super racist publications like Post & Mail took up the Birtherism mantel
It had fallen out of mainstream but thrived in "alternate media"
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC By the time the 2016 Election rolls around now a whopping 72% of Republicans doubt President Obama’s citizenship
russia, Cambridge Analytica, Breitbart and @foxnews made it so a whopping 3 out of 4 @gop members did not believe Obama was a citizen
That's how MAGA happened
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC And it didn't stop in 2016
By 2020 the Claremont Institute which gave us the likes of John Eastman and Piss Boy Poso were pushing Birther lies
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC In 2023 the National Federation of Republican Assemblies would pass a Birther resolution
Their legal justification Dred Scott case ...Hwe icky
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC And let's throw in some flat earthers from Georgia...why not
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC And then perennial crying Laura Loomer,
when not trying to bed her next nazi conquest
would start off another birther rage about Kamala Harris's birth certificate
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC Birtherism of [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) really hit it's two decade mark this year.
It has been 14 years since President Obama asked Evangelicals, russia, and the NRA to stop at the National Prayer Breakfast in 2010
yet the othering coninues
Think it may be trolls? and a Black thing?
some lesser known names over the twenty years
Kenneth Allen-Plaintiff in Orley Taitz case
Pamela Barnett who brings in a Western Journalism connection with he book Obama Never Vetted: The Unlawful President,
Tom Arnold-Report Obama to police for stealing social security #
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC You got Dianna Cotter, who literally wrote for russian media and tied up with Leo Donofrio, a Birther lawyer filing lots of suits
Frank Gaffney..because if it is an Islamaphobia narrative, Gaffney isn't far behind
Bradlee Dean...beause what is Birtherism without some Evangelical Christian Heavy Metal
You have Mikhail Kryzhanovsk and his piece Является ли Барак Обама шпион КГБ? It sounds a little russian, me thinks
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC Dean Haskins would go as far as organizing a birther summit conference.
..But sure it's all organic no Koch and russian money
No rentech, i360, or Cambridge analytica data meshes, ever, I am sure
Entire legal strategy behind birtherism and Orley Taitz just SCREAMS Larry Klayman @tomfitton and @JudicialWatch
Klayman was all over Birtherism
@judicial watch is a key point between CNP, Evangelicals, MAGA, and russia
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC @TomFitton @JudicialWatch @judicial If you think the @GOP using the Libertarian Party is new..well ask Gail Lightfoot about Birtherism
She was a litigant in the lawsuits
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC @TomFitton @JudicialWatch @judicial Miki Booth was a Birther who ran as Fr candidate for U.S. House of Representatives Dist. 2 OK
Colonel Lawrence Sellin Ret was a speaker at the Birther Summit
Lyle Rapacki fancied himself a forensic investigator
so many weirdos, nobody stopped it
@FoxNews @NBCNews @TODAYshow @MorningJoe [@BarackObama](https://micro.blog/BarackObama) [@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) @GOP @CNBC @TomFitton @JudicialWatch @judicial hey @threadreaderapp unroll
@gilduran76 We need to be asking more questions about Tony Lyons and Skyhorse Publishing
Then you got Steven Barry and The Resistor if you wanna an old school throwback.
There was some mucking about in Haiti with some not so nice stories told by not so nice people.
Then there is this 2018 throwback to Donald
Find the hashtag #MakeHaitiGreatAgain
If course Dom Lucre all over it..but he is in the same circle.
I call him the Santogg of a Tennessee
From 2016-2017 there were many tweets saying Trump would make Haiti Great Again and blame the Clintons
Trump would of course go on aand make hit sh**hole country comments after he won
But you really have to go back to the earthquake
neonazi website Stormfront loved the earthquake
F*ck Haiti. …. I’m fed [up] to the core with hearing of Haiti and how we must help these ‘poor’ abominations to [sic] humankind.“Iberian88”
Pat Robertson 's a real hoot, on letting French leave
They said, ‘We will serve you if you will get us free from the prince.’ True story. And so the devil said, ‘OK, it’s a deal.’ …”
Rush Limbaugh was all over the Haiti quakes. He hated Obama's calls for donations
Said it would help Obama get relected as a humanitarian.
“we’ve already donated to Haiti. It’s called the U.S. income tax.’
The Center for Immigration Studies, said in response to the quakes
"My guess is that Haiti’s so screwed up because it wasn’t colonized long enough.”
But you can go far back, don't forget US occupied Haiti from 1915-1934
Rev. Thomas May Thorpe in 1898 said "Haiti is all negro, and has been “free” for genrations Cui bono? Their “religion” is a mere mummery, and cannibalism a recognized institutions"
William Seabrook probably took the idea of cannibals in Haiti...which existed as shade to throw since the slave rebellions.
In 1931 Seabrook would write Jungle Ways.
New York and Paris hipsters were all into necrophilia in the 1920s
Seabrook kind of fetishized the voodun religion and though of himself as a black-white man or "becoming arab" (when studying anthropology in Middle East).
Fun fact:
Seabrook's tails would give birth to the modern "zombie" genre
He writes a story set in 1918 at the ” the Haitian American Sugar Company
Ti-Joseph used black magic to reanimate people from their grave and they followed with a slow shuffle
it's a Haitian myth
The idea of Carib folks eating people is almost five hundered years old
You can read this plaque in Antigua
They were fierce warriors who fought against European colonization..but Carib didn't eat all their enemies
P. Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre, somewhere around the 1650's would say the Carib people had developed such a taste they could tell the difference between an Englishman and a Spaniard.
There was ritualistic cannibalism in some religions...but the story was used as tool of Othering
In some ways Christopher Columbus himself invented the myth of cannibalism
See he though the Caribs were Mongols, part of the Great Khan somehow blown off course
myths of flesh eating mermaids became tribes that ate each other
Columbus took the work of Leo Weiner an "anthropologist" studying slaves in Ghana
and mixed it in with stories of tribes fighting each other, and mermaids
And Christopher Columbus got all of this...about the Carib people being cannibals from signs...because nobody could speak each other's language....but he was able to determine these were cannibals of the Great Khan
And since they were Cannibals, it was the Christian thing to enslave and save them.
The Queen issued a proclamation in 1503 when ships returned after Columbus's voyage
stories of Gilded Age around cannibalism in Haiti trace back to Columbus...
Sven Loven was another "traveler" writer Origins of the Tainan Culture, 1935, noted: "Yet in early times the report was current among the Spaniards, that on Trinidad lived warlike cannibals,
Loven's words are Columbus's words
Hey @threadreaderapp unroll
How could folks push so many lies about Haiti?
Have you looked through back issues of the Resister, the Underground Special Forces Magazine of the 90s?
"The RESISTERs opposition to democracy is simply that democracy ultimately must, by definition, result in totalitarianism."
The Resister editors weren't to keen on the US role in Haiti
Blames the Black Congressional Caucus
Project Freedom in 1994 was supposed to be an American Tienanmen Square
Who were the speakers?
Rush Limbuagh
Gordon Liddy
Larry Pratt
Pedo Ted Nugent
The Resister had a wonderful education series
The Special Forces Underground Newspaper had lots of tips on running paramilitary organizations
And the SOF Underground really hated Democracy
And bigly mad at the "racist Congressional Black Caucus" for supporting a mission to Haiti
The Resister would catch public attention when two neonazis from Fort Bragg would murder to Black citzens
Steve Barry would go on 60 minutes with his voice disguised to defend the Resister
The Gov would review the publication and say soldiers did nothing wrong
for ITAR/EO 13526/CUI-FOUO fans
a fun bonus.
Turns out exfiltration from compartment areas always been a bit of an issue
Folks were bigly mad about WACO
Weird.
The Resister position on Bosnia sure did line up well with russia's opinion
Great lessons on how to poach humans for lone wolf shooters
Resister would skate that criminality line by not teaching how to get away with conspiracy as a militia
but instead teach you how conspiracy cases get prosecuted
Seem to hate on women and feminism...like a lot
Turns out Suffrage is bigly bad...Resister says so
Guess the Military been too woke for a long time
American Renaissance
The neo-nazi group, would take out advertisements in The Resister
Would even to book reviews of Jared Taylor's books.
That kinda quid pro quo is common...take an ad and we will write a book review
See the focus on post-modern deconstructionists....
That's why disinfo learning starts with Bendix, it's all about stopping the Frankfurt Jews
and who ever wrote this has experience with Aesthetics and Literary analysis...or psyops
And stay out of the Marines, women
By definition you are breeders
I mean feminization is a psychic cage used to attack men
And stop trying to save Africans and Haitians
They just slaughter each other to stand a top the dung hill
Another magazine to search for:
"The Partisan"
That Poor White Male Had so Tough in 1998
And the Jews
Because the lede "Get the money" isn't anti-Semitic. No bias detected, at all.
The reason women make bad pilots is because they have permanent PMS
Didn't you know that?
And the first female Jewish person in Congress?
Of course she is a destroyer
This is one of the first Bill Lind critiques on Political Correctness I have found
You really got to give Pat Buchanan the h/t on that one
but Bill Lind blamed the Frankfurt Jews again
After al,l women in the military is flirting with disaster
In 1998 the American Renaissance group would take out a two page spread in The Resister
I am sure they got the friendly Nazi discount
And advertising the Turner Diaries
Three Years after the Oklahoma City FBI bombing by Timothy McVeigh
They gave William Pierce a lot print space in The Resister
Steve Barry sure did see communists everywhere
It's that gosh darn cultural marxism again, and their Radicalist Feminist Threat
With an explicit Frankfurt School call out
Attention Deficit Disorder is a conspiracy against White Males and Feminization is really secret Africanization
You know, that whole American Negro Carnage Fund...I think it is called College Fund
Really didn't like Secretary Albright
ohh and those Baby parts for sale Qanon always up in arms about...it's not new
This is 2000. Jerry Falwell distributed Body Parts for Jeremiah Production in 1998
It is a straight line from the ideas of the Resister in 2000 that we are hearing about Springfield, Ohion in 2024.
A quarter century later, or five if we start with Columbus
The Proud Boys and their Pinochet memes.
Also not new
Back to needing to stop those Frankfurt Jews from making the military too woke, because women
Because you know...Jew Science
How did President Trump handle the "White" South African Problem Can you remind us?
Man The Resister hated Hillary Rodham Clinton very early on
It's like 2020 was written in 2000
Gerald Atkinson would leave to start his own newsletter
Eternal Vigilance: A Journal of Contemporary Culture
Where did these ideas about Haiti get started?
Gee The Resister in 2000 sounds like End Wokeness in 2024
It reads like Hazony in 2000, not 2024
We need to restore White America
Chris Story was writing for The Resister
hey @threadreaderapp unroll
People always ask how did we get here with MAGA and QANON
Want to try and discover "Q" or figure out how Trump brainwashed so many MAGA
Have to go at least back to the turn of century and Nativist political ops that took advantage of 9/11 fear
Like the Minutemen Project
The Minutemen Project was founded by Jeff Gilchrist and Chris Simocox
Gilchrist was deeply tied into the @GOP disinfo machine and would write a book on the border problem with russian asset Jerome Corsi
@GOP Chris Simcox was way worse, he would rob everyone, filling Alan Keyes's coffers and then go to jail for 19 years because he molested a five year old
@GOP A Kindergarten teacher he was obsessed with 9/11 attacks
On Sept 30th he emailed his son
"I'm going on a great adventure," he told his teenaged son. "If I end up going to prison, you can always e-mail me."
@GOP He tried his hand at acting, failed, and then moved to Tumbleweed, AZ and got embroiled in the border fights over illegal Mecicans "streaming in the US"
In 2002, Simcox founded Civil Homeland Defense, a Tombstone-based vigilante militia
Simcox then drained his son's college fund to start newspaper in Tombstone called Tumbleweed
used paper to call folks to join "Citizens Border Patrol Militia" to "shame the government into doing its job" of controlling the United States's border with Mexico.
@GOP In January 2003, while "on patrol" Simcox was arrested by federal park rangers for illegally carrying a .45-caliber semi-automatic handgun in a national park. He also had a document entitled "Mission Plan," a police scanner, and two walkie-talkies.
@GOP This caught the attention of Barbara Coe, a long time racist activist from California who ran the California Coalition for Immigration Reform since 1994
Coe said she found a secret Mexican plan called “Plan de Aztlán” to reconquer the American Southwest
@GOP In 2004 Gilchrist and Simcox would join forces to start the Minutemen Project
They took the name from US Revolutionary soldiers and/or Jerome Corsi
which ever is older
@GOP They held a gathering April 2005 Over 600 vigilantes showed up for the meeting at the border south of Tombstone.
This would a month long event. President Bush would deride them as vigilantes
Yet..Minutemen were weirdly tied to big donor GOP stuff
@GOP So many minutemen militias would start up:
-Britt "Kingfish" Craig would start the Campo group
-Jeff Schwilk started San Diego Minutemen
-Laine Lawless started a group called the Border Guardians
-Michael Brian Vanderboegh, would start Alabama Minutemen
Over 40 new groups
@GOP Groups attracted Vietnam and Special Forces vets that had long infected the dying militia movements of the 90s
"It should be legal to kill illegals"
Just shoot 'em on sight. That's my immigration policy recommendation. You break into my country, you die."
folks would say
@GOP The keynote for the April event was Tom Tancredo, the Republican Congressman from Colorado who chairs the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus
Wildly racist Congressman who is weirdly tied to many russian adjacent "Patriot" activities through the years
@GOP and the far-right @gop policy groups took note and made immigration a way to win elections and control re-districting
In 2005 @Heritage tried policy groups took note and made immigration a way to win elections and control re-distracting
web.archive.org/web/2006021401…
@GOP @Heritage And Lt Gen (ret) Mike Flynn's family friend and personal nanny (I think) Phyllis Schlafly hopped into the fray in 2005
: eagleforum.org/publications/c…
@GOP @Heritage And of course Larry Klayman and Tom Fitton of @JudicialWatch hopped in
Judicial Watch been at the center of disinfo since Vince Foster
washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content…
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch One of Simcox's and Gilchrist first targets was to try and peel away Conservative Catholics from providing aid to Catholics
because Jesus would never help the poor and needy
would attack Cardinal Mahoney's "Unspoken Agenda on Illegal Immigration"
web.archive.org/web/2007021105…
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch And the money came pouring in..
So much so Simcox was able to hire Connie Hair as a spokesman for Minuteman Civil Defense Corps
fun fact Ginni Thomas was texting Connie Hair as they planned the 2024 coup
it's like always the same people
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch Simcox finally got to be the actor he wanted..no more two bit parts as a shooter at the OK Corral.
Simcox was featured in many movies such a:
Crossing Arizona in 2006
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch El Inmigrante in 2005
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch Walking the Line in 2005
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch and also Wetback
Hair would have Simcox doing a media blitz
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch And Simcox was mad popular with @GOP politicians.
In 2005 Federation for American Immigration Reform, or FAIR would host "Hold Their Feet to the Fire," a week of rallies and lobbying sin DC
"For many Americans, the Minuteman Project looks more like Lexington and Concord,"
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch FAIR was founded by eugenicist John Tanton
More than 20 U.S. congressmen attended the FAIR/Minuteman rally he hosted in September in Washington
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch In 2005 Simcox ex-wife woudl start making allegations he had molested their daughter
People would start to ask questions of Gilchrist and Simcox as to where all the Minutemen money was going
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch Gilchrist would double down as the 2006 election approached and tried to use the Minutemen Project to radicalize the nativist vote through racism and fear
September 11, 2006 Jim Gilchrist announces Patrols until election day
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch A protest was scheduled for NYC ..because they have such a problem at the border...with Connecticut I guess:
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch In 2006 Bill O’Reilly defends the Minutemen Project and attacks protestors at Columbia who pushed back
and you thoguht calling for the heads of Columbia to resign over "free speech" is new
media.pfaw.org/Right/oreilly-…
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch And the radicals in Congress loved Simcox's idea of building an "Israeli-style" fence
too bad Maureen Otis and Alan Keyes were stealing all the money
Racist Rep Steve King wanted to electrify the fence
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch And the Minutemen would send out sooo many robocalls in the lead up to the 2006 mid term elections
as would Swiftboater Bob Perry and money launderer Tom Delay
It's like the MAGA liars today are the same lairs of yesterday
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch In 2007 the Minutemen Project Inc board would remove Gilchrist for Financial irregularities
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch The Splinter groups would still thrive. Especially the San Diego Minutemen
MAY 5, 2007: Diego Minuteman organization, an anti-demonstrated at a day labor site in San Diego
Others would start to gravitate to emerging "patriot" movement
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch In 2007 Jerome Corsi would lead an attack on Robert Pastor.
This attack would form the basis of Ron Paul's Campaign against the North American Union and drive Minutemen Propaganda
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch In 2007 Simcox started his "Israeli-style" fence
Turns out it was just barbwire and now people were really like "WTF" where's my money
It has many similarities to Bannon's and Gou's "WeAreTheWall"
Including Maureen Otis as treasurer
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch and Simcox's co-founder would really embrace his inner Nazi
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch These smaller groups would thrive as the 2008 election seat started to speed up
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch Things kept getting worse for the Minutemen
Shawna Forde murdered a bunch of people
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch Everybody kept getting sued:
2009 Jeff Schwilk has been ordered to pay $135,000 for repeatedly calling an American Civil Liberties Union contractor vulgar names
cbs8.com/article/news/s…
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch Then the Birther movement led to a resurgence of border militia activity in 2009
Over 80% of those surveyed said they thought Obama was an illegal Muslim
(it might be because he was Black..also Jerome Corsi..again)
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch In 2009 they held a Minutemen muster: Hundreds of Minutemen signed the petition at the rally, in Cochise County, Ariz.
Yet this was kinda the end for the Minutemen
2009, Al Garza left,
2011 Shawna Forde sentenced to 65 years
2012 T Ready kills his family and himself
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch The "normies" would follow Gilchrist to the "Tea Party"
more militant would join new "Patriot movement"
Like Stewart Rhodes and this new "Oathkeepers" group or Michael Brian Vanderboegh and III%ers
But it's a straight line from the Minutemen to MAGA
@GOP @Heritage @JudicialWatch hey @threadreaderapp unroll

Hey @threadreaderapp unroll
Kamala Harris worked for McDonalds.
Donald Trump worked for the Mafia.
That is the only comparison that should matter
We can roll it all the way back to 1981 and Atlantic City.
Kamala Harris worked for McDonalds
Donald Trump worked for the Mafia
And knew it.
Donald Trump and Ray Cohn were doing all kind of illegal mob stuff with Unions
Kamala Harris worked at McDonalds
Donald Trump worked for the Mafia
Don't forger Daggett's 2024 Longshoreman Strike strike is very much like the 2016 Longshoreman walk off in Newark
Kamala Harris worked at McDonalds
Donald Trump worked for the mafia.
Remember in 1980 when the Polish Brigade, a group of illegal Polish immigrants , Trump hired to tear Down Bonwit Building where Trump Towers now stands sued him?
Kamala Harris worked at McDonalds.
Donald Trump worked for the mafia
It turns out Donald Trump hired a bunch of illegal immigrants because he could force them to work in horrible conditions
Not only were they given no equipment and forced to use sledgehammers. Trump did not provide the Polish immigrants with basic safety equipment like masks
Once the Bonwit was down Ray Cohn hooked Trump up with Fat Tony Salerno of S & A Concrete.
In the 1980s "Concrete Club" had racketeeting market set up in NYC.
Lucky for [@realdonaldtrump](https://micro.blog/realdonaldtrump) when a Concrete strike hit in 1982.
Construction stopped everywhere, but Trump Towers
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Starting in the 1990s anonymous LLCs could be used to purchase Real Estate
This became a mad tool used mor money laundering
Trump was all over it
Kamala Harris worked at McDonalds
Donald Trump worked for the mafia
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Gino A.G. Bianchini, who ended up catching a bunch of currency fraud cases in Italy bought up six apartments in Trump Tower
Kamala Harris worked at McDonalds
Donald Trump worked for the Mafia
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Luchese Associate Robert Hopkins would own a few Aparments in Trump Towers in the 80's, even before the LLC Laundering system would be set up
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Lu Donald Trump had a friend Rudy who would keep Trump from Hopkins laundering investigation
Trump would then become the co-chair of Giuliani's Mayoral fundraising campaign
Kamala Harris worked for McDonalds
Donald Trump worked for the mafia
web.archive.org/web/2016090505…
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Trump also had Roy Cohn to vouch for the Hopkins deal.
That helped Rudy Guiliani cover up the crime
Kamala Harris worked at McDonalds
Donald Trump worked for the Mafia
villagevoice.com/rudys-long-his…
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) In 1985 Trump would become part of a "joint adventure" with Joey Weichselbaum's helicopter company
It was really a front for a massive cocaine ring
Kamala Harris worked at McDondalds
Donald Trump worked for the Mafia
slate.com/news-and-polit…
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) It turns out when Trump was facing financial ruin in the 1990s his Casinos became massive money laundering pits
Kamala Harris worked at McDonalds
Donald Trump Laundered money for the mafia
reuters.com/article/busine…
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Taj Mahal was a fav spot for russian mob
Trump hooked his friends up with comps for free food, rooms, champagne, cartons of cigarettes, entertainment, and transportation in stretch limos and helicopters
Trump would book russian pop stars to perform like Alla Pugachova
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Felix Komarov (left) was a Taj Mahal regular and owned an apartment at Trump Towers
He had all kids of ties to the russian Mob
While Kamala Harris flipped burgers Trump was flipping apartments to russian gangsters nytimes.com/1998/06/29/nyr…
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Suddenly..as far back as 1994 the talk of a Trump Presidency was bandied about
MAGA is part of the Mafia Machine
Kamala Harris worked at McDonalds
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) And Trump would keep booking the russian pop stars for Taj Mahal
Funny, Alla Pugacheva with the corrupt mayor of Moscow
Taj Mahal became known as a brothel for high end russian gangsters
Kamala Harris worked at McDonalds
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) David Bogatin also owned five apartments in Trump Towers
He was the mastermind behind a billion dollar fuel tax scam
Kamala Harris has never sold properties to gangsters
Donald Trump was a real estate agent of gangstersnytimes.com/1989/02/06/nyr…
[@realDonaldTrump](https://micro.blog/realDonaldTrump) Who else lived in Trump Tower and was a high roller at Taj Mahal?
russian gangster Vyacheslav Ivankov
When arrested in 1995 he had Trump's phone number in his Black Book
Only Gangsters Kamala Harris knows are ones she prosecuted
[@realdonaldtrump](https://micro.blog/realdonaldtrump) is a gangsters puppet
In 1996 Donald Trump would travel to Moscow a 2nd time Trump would enjoy the hospitality of a russian hotelier named Semion Mogilevech
Kamala Harris has never stayed at a hotel in Moscow owned by the "Boss of Bosses"
Some even claim on that trip David Geovanis collected Kompromat on Donald Trump used by russia to this day
Claims the Senate has investigated
The number of times Kamala Harris has been investigated for sexual Kompromat is zero times
cnn.com/2019/02/21/pol…
Luckily there were russian oligarchs to save Donald Trump when the Junk Bond collapsed bringing down his casino money laundering empire
In 1998 Trump would start Trump World Towers by the UN building.
75% of the units went to gangsters
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Money for Trump World Towers all came from Duetsche Bank
Would end up lending Trump 2 billion dollars from 1996-2016
all russian money laundering controlled through Russia’s government controlled VTB bank
Kamala Harris has never laundered money
nytimes.com/2020/02/04/mag…
Then in 1999 the Bank of New York money laundering scandal broke
This had russian gangsters and money laundering all through it.
All connected by Trump's friend the "Boss of Bosses"
nytimes.com/1999/08/20/wor…
For some weird ass reason the Governm,ent left a loophole in money launder regulations after 9/11 that allowed russian gangsters to pour billions of launderd ill gotten gains into real estate
Trump Properties became a prime "investment"icij.org/investigations…
In 2001 while much of the economy was reeling from the 9/11 terrorist attacks Trump began building "Moscow by the Sea"
Sunny Isles Flordia
russian Oligrachs would drop a 100,000,000 on Trump properties
Kamala Harris made $0.00 from russian oligarchs
reuters.com/article/world/…
The biggest real estate agents for [@realdonaldtrump](https://micro.blog/realdonaldtrump) in Florida (technically by now he was just selling his name to developers)
was Sergey Lavrov's friend, Lena Baronoff
she would travel with Trump's kdis to Moscow many a time
Kamala Harria and Sergey Lavrov share zero friends
At this same time Duetsche Bank's notes for Trump became due.
Luckily he had Dimitri Rybololev to overpay for his Palm Beach Mansion in 2008
I guess the place lost it's luster after Trump next door neighbor Jeffrey Epstein was arrested for raping kids
Trump had a hook up to easy russian money through folks like Wilbur Ross
Who would end up being Trump's Secretary of Commerce
and serve on the baords of banks with Rybololev
See, Wilbur Ross bailed Trump out when all of his russian brothels in Atlantic City went tits up
They went way back
Kamala Harris has owned exactly zero casinos that went bankrupt
latimes.com/politics/la-na…
And it wasn't just in the US. Canada too
In 2000 as Trump expanded in "Moscow by the Sea" Trump Towers Toronto Donald Trump would work with Dmitri “David” Zaikin
Zaikin would pop back up with a guy named Lt Gen Michael Flynn, ret.
propublica.org/article/the-in…
Trump Towers Toronto, like everything Donald Trump touches would also go bankrupt
Kamala Harris has never bankrupted any properties as a russian money launderer
Kamala Harris worked at McDonalds
Donald Trump worked for the mafia
politico.com/magazine/story…
In 2011 Trump would amp up his exploration of the Presidential run through Birtherism
russian disinformation was all up in the Birther movement
Kamala Harris has never run racist campaigns in conjunction with russian intelligence
In 2103 Trump would return to Moscow a third time for the Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow
Kamala Harris has run exactly zero beauty pageants in Moscow
The Pageant was set for 2015. It got booked in 2013 by Aras Agalarov who paid Trump 20,000,000 to come to Moscow
Kamala Harris has gotten zero dollars to travel to Moscow and host a beauty pageant nytimes.com/2017/07/16/wor…
The Algalarovs would show up a bunch in Trump's near future
They are mentioned in Senate Intelligence Committee report on russian Active Measures 527 times
Kamala Harris mentioned zero times
Donald Trump so bigly wanted to meet Putin during the Miss Universe Pageant
Trump would write him glowing letters
Kamala Harris has written zero love letters to Vladimir Putin
While in Moscow Trump made sure to spend plenty of time back stage checking out the underage girls
He is a serial pedophile
Kamala Harris has prosecuted John's involved in child sex crimes
Donald Trump commits them

Some web history
Do you know the first Internet Bank in history?
It predates Netscape and was called the European Union Bank
Oddly it was established in money laundering HQ of the Caribbean, Antigua in July of 1994...
The bank was backed by a million dollar investment from Mikhail Khodorovsky's Menatep Bank and was run by Alexander Konanikhine
Kohnankhine hired a ton of ex_KGB as bank executives for his other bank Russian Exchange Bank
The first allowed to purchase foreign currency
To be fair folks did try to kidnap him a bunch
but oopsie, Kohnankhine "surprised" they were mafia money launderers.. so head to America
See Khodorovsky was an OG Semibankirschina. Menatep owned large stakes in evrything after the privatization money grab in russia. Yukos Oil being the biggest holding.
Kohnankhine's main job in US was to open Menatep branches
But all the regulators be like, You nucking futz?"
So Menatep gave Konanikhine a million to start EUB in Antigua. At time of founding, Konanikhine was the President and sole share holder.
fun history fact... bank was in Antigua all the servers were at the Willard Hotel in DC
also Command and Control center for Trump's coup
Three years after close to a billion dollars in money laundering EUB would just straight disappear
