Wieder den kritischen Beitrag erstellt: ‚Fehler beim Hochladen!“ 🛑



Somehow I missed this shit:

#EdMartin, advocate for #Jan6 defendants, named #DC's interim #USAttorney overseeing Capitol *riot* cases

The *#conservative* activist was on the board of the Patriot Freedom Project, which advocated for Capitol riot defendants.

in reply to Nonilex

#EdMartin was a prominent member of the "Stop the Steal" movement. In a speech at the Capitol on Jan 5, 2021, he called on "die-hard true Americans" to work until their "last breath" to "stop the steal."

On #Jan6, Martin tweeted that he was "at the Capitol" & said the crowd was rowdy "but nothing out of hand," & he then tweeted, “Like Mardi Gras in DC today: love, faith and joy.”

in reply to Nonilex

At the time of #EdMartin's tweet, rioters had breached the building & Ashli Babbitt had been shot; on the other side of the Capitol, a #Jan6 rioter would soon drive a stun gun into an officer's neck during the brutal battle at the lower west tunnel.

Martin was on the board of the Patriot Freedom Project, which advocated for #J6 defendants & held fundraisers at #Trump's properties, including events where Trump spoke.

Trump’s crypto grifts: Before the inauguration Trump launched two memecoins that created billions on paper for Trump and likely tens of millions in fees for his team and Trump-supported crypto project World Liberty Financial received more funding from Chinese-born Tron founder Justin Sun, my latest:

South Korean democracy is in crisis but so far it has proven to be resilient

"Institutions are not just abstract, impersonal constructs, divorced from the cultural and social context in which they operate. They are populated by ordinary South Koreans, imbued with their democratic culture and education, which they are proud of and very keen to defend."

Democrats want us to believe that there is some cohort of “good billionaires” who can be relied upon to fight for political progress. But as the right-wing turn of tech billionaires like Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk suggests, this is nonsense.

I had an joke idea.

We need to protect the world from extreme peril.

"We need leaders not in love with money but in love with justice. Not in love with publicity but in love with humanity. Leaders who can subject their particular egos to the pressing urgencies of the great cause of freedom. God give us leaders. A time like this demands great leaders. Leaders whom the fog of life cannot chill, men whom the lust of office cannot buy. Leaders who have honor, leaders who will not lie. Leaders who will stand before a pagan god and damn his treacherous flattery.” -- speech at Purdue University, 1958, Martin Luther King newyorktheater.me/2025/01/20/w…
