@moxi3ann @EyeofhorusC @adhdwonderwoman This Eagle Ed?

Who planned the legal strategy behind the StopTheSteal coup attempt?

@moxi3ann @EyeofhorusC @adhdwonderwoman Important to remember the Phyllis Schlafly Eagles split with Eagle Ed in 2016.

It was the PS Eagles who gave Lt Gen (ret) Mike Flynn the John Singlaub Award in 2018.

@moxi3ann @EyeofhorusC @adhdwonderwoman For those who don't know the Queen of Mean and voice of school choice.

She was a Bircher since 1961 (though most quit by 68)

She lead a phonics lesson at Council for National Policy in 1984.

@moxi3ann @EyeofhorusC @adhdwonderwoman I bring up the 2016 split @ChrisMurphyCT because it marks a turning point in Eagle Ed's turn to russia.

But isn't weird the only Charter School the PS Eagles hated was run by Gulen.... The same group Mike Flynn was illegally lobbying against on behalf of Turkey.

@moxi3ann @EyeofhorusC @adhdwonderwoman @ChrisMurphyCT And schools and Turkey would have been all up in the @ericadamsfornyc trial

But Eagle Ed and Paralegal Barbie dropped the charges.

Isn't that weird?

@moxi3ann @EyeofhorusC @adhdwonderwoman @ChrisMurphyCT @ericadamsfornyc hey @threadreaderapp unroll please

I would have voted for Joe Biden but Hillary fainted

The OG Hillary feint

independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

I would have voted for Joe Biden but Hillary is gonna faint at the Debate

The OG faint feint

I would have voted for Joe Biden but he will faint at the debate

The OG Hillary Feint

Quick replace Hillary before the debate and she faints

the OG Hillary feint

Drudge Report knew the Hillary Faint was hiding a medical condition

Wain Jimmy Dore pushed the Hillary Faint

shocking

Because a Hijab on top of a Hillary faint,..why not

I would vote for Joe Biden but Dan Bongino said Hillary Fainted

Breitbart says blood clots made Hillary Faint

must have been those 2020 Covid vaccines in 2016

Jerome Corsi has proof of Hillary's drug vacation because she fainted

World News Daily would run about 30 stories on Hillary Fainted

I would have voted for Joe Biden, but Hillary Fainted

I would have voted Joe Biden but only Beta commies faint

What trolls?

Hillary fainted

I would have voted Biden but HPV made Hillary faint

Pretty sure this one didn't even happen...but Buffalo is Roger Stone/Mike Caputo country

How can Joe Biden be President if Hillary Fainted?

What trolls?

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????

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

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

@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
