Dear Members, Donors & Supporters,
“We are writing to let you know the National Butterfly Center will be closed Friday, Jan. 28 - Sunday, Jan. 30, due to credible threats we have received from a former state official, regarding activities planned by the We Stand America event, taking place in McAllen, TX, this weekend.
This MAGA, mid-term election rally, hosted by Trump's former National Security Advisor and pardoned-criminal, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, is the national, kick-off event for what they are calling their "Take Action Tour." “My God!
Butterflies!
Have these people no shame?

The 59 Republicans Who Joined Electoral Voter Fraud Scheme For Trump Could Face Prison
What seemed like political theater at the time actually violated state and federal fraud laws, according to current and former prosecutors.
By S.V. Date 01/27/2022
“Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer, though, said he and the other 15 Georgians who sent electoral votes for Trump did so only to make sure Trump could continue pushing a lawsuit alleging vote fraud.
“There’s been no credible suggestion that there’s anything wrong,” he told HuffPost. “We made it very clear what we were doing. We did it right out in the open.”
But Georgia’s would-be GOP electors chose not to include language clarifying that they would actually only be the “duly elected and qualified” electors in the event that a court challenge or other proceeding reversed the outcome there ― the approach taken by Trump slates in two other states.
According to Shafer, it was Trump’s lawyers in Georgia who told him and his group that any changes to the language they had provided would endanger Trump’s legal challenge in state court alleging fraud and other election “irregularities.”
“We were told not to alter the form,” he said, but pointed to an accompanying statement on Dec. 14, 2020, the date of the Electoral College vote, that explained that the GOP slate was being sent to Congress and the National Archives only to “preserve [Trump’s] rights under Georgia law.”
Glenn Kirschner, a former federal prosecutor, said the potential federal crimes include forgery, obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to commit fraud and, because the material was sent to its recipients via the Postal Service, mail fraud.”
Stephen Miller dodges questions about his role in Trump’s fake electors scheme: report
by Bob Brigham January 27, 2022
“On Dec. 14, 2020, Stephen Miller suggested he was aware of the scheme during an appearance on Fox News.
“As we speak, an alternate slate of electors in the contested states is going to vote, and we are going to send those results to Congress,” Miller, then a senior White House advisor, told Fox News.”
“Miller's comments where controversial at the time they were made. That evening, his comments were ridiculed by The Daily Show host Trevor Noah.
"Damn, that's extreme man," Noah said. "I mean, why stop there? Why not just send those alternate electors to an alternate Congress and then have them upheld by an alternate Supreme Court and then he can become president of an alternate country."”
I wonder who the "We" is...

Trump didn't sign this newly unearthed 2020 election EO. We need to know why.
Jan. 25, 2022, 4:34 AM CST
By Joyce Vance,
"The draft EO is titled “PRESIDENTIAL FINDINGS TO PRESERVE COLLECT AND ANALYZE NATIONAL SECURITY INFORMATION REGARDING THE 2020 GENERAL ELECTION.””
This draft is dated December 16, 2020
“How widely did the draft EO circulate? We don’t know for certain. But on Dec. 21, 2020, outgoing Attorney General William Barr publicly announced that there was no need for the federal government to seize voting machines or to appoint a special counsel, another provision in the draft executive order. Barr resigned two days later, explaining that he wanted to spend more time with his family — just a few days before the Christmas holiday and with less than a month to go before the end of the administration.”
Curiouser and curiouser.

Strange that they suggest Oswald was working against Castro at the very time all those pro-Castro stories were being told, eh?
Jim,
Strangest thing I've ever seen.
One day he's going down to Alabama to give a talk to a Jesuit College, and the next day he shows up at Carlos Bringuier's offering to help train the exiles.
One day he's writing to the FPFCC, and the next day, somebody calling himself Oswald shows up on a dock in Miami trying to join a raiding party.
One day he shows up at Sylvia Odio's, and the next day, her uncle tells her, "Don't trust him, he's FBI".
Strangest thing I've ever seen.

The Bolton Ford Incident
By Dec. 19, 1963, the SAC in New Orleans was already confirming directly to J. Edgar Hoover himself that a man named Charles Pearson, who was office manager at Graham Paper Company, had stated that his friend Oscar W. Deslatte, assistant manager of truck sales at Bolton Ford, had been contacted by Oswald about buying trucks. Worse yet, the whole process of investigating the incident was prompted by a phone call from none other than Carlos Bringieur, the man who pretended to fight and then debate on the radio with “Lee Harvey Oswald” in August 1963 in New Orleans.
Above material quoted or adapted from Harvey and Lee by John Armstrong and includes document reproductions from the John Armstrong Collection at Baylor University.Jim,
Just to round things out a little, Mary Cusco was the wife of Jose Manuel Cusco Delpi, the only MDC delegate to New Orleans.

It's interesting that that FBI file 105-82555 says that the truck dealers turned him down

'Very unfair': Trump decries focus on Ivanka, Don Jr., and Eric
by Paul Bedard, Washington Secrets Columnist January 21, 2022
“It's a very unfair situation for my children. Very, very unfair,” he told Secrets in a telephone call.
“They are using whatever powers they have. They couldn't care less. They are vicious people,” Trump said of the panel.
“It's a disgrace, what's going on. They're using these things to try and get people's minds off how incompetently our country is being run. And they don't care. They'll go after children,” Donald Trump said.
"They've done a great job," he said. "You know Ivanka very well, and you know the quality of her," he added. "For them to have to go through all this stuff is a disgrace."
Poor little kids.

Steve, they absolutely should be. This is a criminal action. So clear there is no doubt and argument otherwise at all.
But like 99% of everything Trump and his cult followers do that is illegal, nothing ever comes of these crimes in the end.
Massive money tying up charges for years until the courts just seem to give up and things just go away.
Joe
Maybe, but these fake fake electors are on the hook as individuals.
Look for some of them to strike a plea deal.

Fake Electors Certificates:
The Republican electors declared themselves “duly elected and qualified,” and sent signed certificates to Washington claiming to affirm Trump as the winner in five states he had actually lost
One of the main problems with these Certificates is that some of the Electors who had appeared on the ballot on Election Day, November 3, 2020 refused to sign these Certificates. They didn't want anything to do with this effort.
This happened in Michigan.
Someone approached other people and asked them to sign their names as bona fide electors. They were never elected to anything.
They were fake fake electors.
If that's not fraud, I don't know what is.
These guys are in trouuuuuuuble.

4. Trump National Golf Club – Westchester
101. In the 2011 supporting data document the property was valued at $68,703,300.
Ex. 320 at G300. That valuation was broken down into multiple components. First was the value of the initiation fee for 67 unsold memberships totaling $12,775,000. Although the supporting data spreadsheet states that the club was currently “getting $150,000” per membership, the Trump Organization derived $12,775,000 in value by computing a value with 47 of the 67 unsold memberships priced higher than that amount, in many instances by $100,000 each.102. According to TTO membership records, even the representation that the club was “getting $150,000 per membership” in June 2011 was false: Records indicate that many members paid no deposit for their memberships in 2011. Ex. 370.
103. In March 2012, the club sought to increase membership through a strategy that “has been discussed several times with Mr. Trump and will be implemented per his instructions.”
104. According to TTO membership records no new members paid an initiation fee in 2012. Ex. 370.

From Fred Litwin's blog. I believe he has cracked (solved) this one, the solution. "Oswald" written on the Bolton Ford bid quote was Oswald Schulingkamp, owner of Schulingkamp Motor Company, adjacent to Bolton Ford. "Lee Harvey Oswald was not Impersonated at Bolton Ford", https://www.onthetrailofdelusion.com/post/lee-harvey-oswald-was-not-impersonated-at-bolton-ford.
A mountain of Oswald impersonation articles, gone just like that!
There never was any evidence in the first place that that "Oswald" in Louisiana in 1961 referred to Lee Harvey Oswald. But now it no longer is a mystery who that "Oswald" was--solved!
Sorry Greg.
The mystery is not "solved"
"Bolton Ford and Schulingkamp Motor Company were adjacent to each other. Perhaps the Friends of Democratic Cuba went to Schulingkamp first
(perhaps Oswald Schulingkamp was a supporter), hoping that he could get them a good deal on some trucks.
Schulingkamp then took them next door to Bolton. Someone there wrote “Oswald” because he was well known at Bolton
Quite possibly, the trucks would have been purchased by Schulingkamp,"
There is no evidence that Oswald Schulingkamp was a supporter, or that he took them next door to Bolton’s Ford.

The inevitable end result of our last 56 years

a message from the children's museum
The Museum is closed January 26 - February 4.
All reservations for this time period have been cancelled.
For nearly 50 years, the Children’s Museum of Denver at Marsico Campus has been a community gathering place where families can share moments of wonder and joy. Our staff takes this mission seriously, and strives to help your family create memories in a safe and welcoming environment.
Lately, this has been increasingly challenging. The Museum carefully follows public health guidelines, including mask wearing. We know the stress of the last two years has taken a toll on everyone in our community, but regrettably, some guests who object to the Museum’s mask policy have been inappropriately directing their anger toward our staff.
Therefore, we have made the decision to close our doors to the public January 26 through February 4 so that we can support our staff and bolster our policies with the hope of preventing this type of behavior in the future.
