Moms for Liberty activist wants LGBTQ students separated into special classes
She said LGBTQ students are "like for example children with autism, Down Syndrome" and should have "specialized" classes.
By Alex Bollinger Thursday, August 18, 2022

An anti-LGBTQ Moms for Liberty activist told MSNBC that she believes LGBTQ students should have separate classes from straight and cisgender students in schools.

Field Report with Paola Ramos aired last week and discussed the rightward movement among Latino voters, especially in Florida. Ramos met with a group of Moms for Liberty activists.

Moms for Liberty gained notoriety during the pandemic as they attended and protested school board meetings to oppose mask mandates and LGBTQ inclusivity in schools. The group’s past exploits include offering bounties for people who turn in teachers who discuss “divisive topics,” attacking the Trevor Project for trying to prevent LGBTQ teen suicide, trying to get a book about seahorses banned for being too sexy, and saying that two girls briefly kissing at a school function is “lewd” and “traumatic.” The group lobbied in Florida for the Don’t Say Gay bill.

“The kids that do have their, you know, they’re confused, or they are gay or whatnot,” said Moms for Liberty Miami-Dade member Crystal Alonso, “that the way they’re trying to go about it is to make it an open conversation and an open thing in classrooms.”


“But like for example children with autism, Down Syndrome, they have to have special IP meetings with a counselor, they have to be put into separate classrooms. I understand, because it’s a different type of education for children with those disabilities, but I think that for children that identify differently, there should also be like a specialized… something for them, so that they feel that they’re important enough that they’re being counseled.”

Ramos pushed back and suggested having that conversation “in front of everyone.”

“I think for the same reason why teachers wouldn’t just bring a child with autism in front of the class and be like, hey, he’s got autism,” Alonso responded. “Embarrassment….”

“What is, in your eyes, embarrassing about being gay?” Ramos asked.

“It’s not that it’s something to be embarrassed about, but you, I mean, I’m sure that you understand a lot of kids that are young and feel gay, some of them are shamed,” Alonso said.

“Because they can’t openly talk about it in their classrooms,” Ramos said.

“Right, which I understand, but there’s just a way to go about it so that everybody is respected.”

Prosecutors said some of the best evidence against Adam Fox and Barry Croft came from their own words, either written by them or secretly recorded by FBI agents and informants during weeks of surveillance in three states.

TEXT:

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) — A jury on Tuesday convicted two men of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, in a plot prosecutors described as a rallying cry for a U.S. civil war by anti-government extremists.

The jury also found Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. guilty of conspiring to obtain a weapon of mass destruction, namely a bomb to blow up a bridge and stymie police if the kidnapping could be pulled off at Whitmer’s vacation home.

Croft, 46, a trucker from Bear, Delaware, was also convicted of another explosives charge.

It was the second trial for the pair after a jury in April couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict. Two other men were acquitted and two more pleaded guilty and testified for prosecutors.

The result was a victory for the government following the shocking mixed outcome last spring.

“You can’t just strap on an AR-15 and body armor and go snatch the governor,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Nils Kessler told jurors.

“But that wasn’t the defendants’ ultimate goal,” Kessler said. “They wanted to set off a second American civil war, a second American Revolution, something that they call the boogaloo. And they wanted to do it for a long time before they settled on Gov. Whitmer.”

The investigation began when Army veteran Dan Chappel joined a Michigan paramilitary group and became alarmed when he heard talk about killing police. He agreed to become an FBI informant and spent summer 2020 getting close to Fox and others, secretly recording conversations and participating in drills at “shoot houses” in Wisconsin and Michigan.

The FBI turned it into a major domestic terrorism case with two more informants and two undercover agents embedded in the group.

Fox, Croft and others, accompanied by the government operatives, traveled to northern Michigan to see Whitmer’s vacation home at night and a bridge that could be destroyed.

Defense attorneys tried to put the FBI on trial, repeatedly emphasizing through cross-examination of witnesses and during closing remarks that federal players were present at every crucial event and had entrapped the men.

Fox and Croft, they said, were “big talkers” who liked to smoke marijuana and were guilty of nothing but exercising their right to say vile things about Whitmer and government.

“This isn’t Russia. This isn’t how our country works,” Croft attorney Joshua Blanchard told jurors. “You don’t get to suspect that someone might commit a crime because you don’t like things that they say, that you don’t like their ideologies.”

Fox attorney Christopher Gibbons said the FBI isn’t supposed to create “domestic terrorists.” He described Fox as poor and living in the basement of a Grand Rapids-area vacuum shop, which was a site for meetings with Chappel and an agent.

Whitmer, a Democrat, has blamed then-President Donald Trump for stoking mistrust and fomenting anger over coronavirus restrictions and refusing to condemn hate groups and right-wing extremists like those charged in the plot.

Over the weekend, she said she hadn't been following the second trial but remains concerned about “violent rhetoric in this country.”

Trump recently called the kidnapping plan a “fake deal.”

Let's see how far down the rabbit hole you wanna go? 

Do you believe there is sex trafficking, of children, or otherwise in the US?  The US Govt certainly pushes it as a crime problem. You calling them liars?

The 2nd part of that is ARE high ranking politicians involved in it? Well, who do you believe is being protected by not releasing Jeffrey Epstein's client list? I know you'll automatically claim Trump is on it........so who else?

Or do you think it's ALL totally baseless? As that piece suggests?

My sister was just telling me she saw a theory QAnon types are pushing that there is a camera.in those automatic toilets so one should cover the sensor with a piece of tissue paper.

Yes.
Women & children are trafficked.
Not as much as some promote.
A lot of those kids kidnapped everyday in the world are taken by family. Non custodial parents. Etc.

Epstein’s list?
You think it's politicians squelching it?

Maybe.

Or maybe it's titans of business.

You think Epstein just serviced American Politicians?
Or you think he didnt also curry favor with the CEOs of corporations? Leaders of nations? Some of those Saudi Princes? We know there was a British Prince amongst his clients.

America is a cute experiment that's been around 5 minutes compared to Europe & the rest of the world governments.

But keep on thinking it was Bill Clinton alone that burned that list.

It's the Trumps & the Rockefellers & their ilk & the royal families around the world with way more to lose from that list getting out.

I've told you that, as well. All those Amber Alerts are for stupid custody arguments.

It is absolutely people in Govt squelching it. Who else has the ability? I don't doubt some titans of business are on the list, as well. AND?

Trump is a $Billionaire and has had every detail about his life and movements leaked for 7 straight years now. But everyone connected to the Establishment is protected?

Yeah, a cute experiment that drove the wealth of the entire planet upwards and attracts people from all over to strive to get here.

Trump is not on the IN list, merh. How much more apparent can that get for you? Yet poor Bill is? WHY? Cuz he cooperated so well with the Establishment? Check out Liz Cheney's wealth growth the last few years compared to Trump, just as a comparison.

Before he became president?
He very much was one of the NYC elite.

Of course he is. He's been trying to slap his name on everything since the 80s.

You think that was a huge concession for them? Everyone knew who Trump was back then. It's a quick celeb chuckle. Like Eddie Murphy and others used in their comedies.

Figure what out? That people usually WANT something? Like Gillibrand wanted $Money from Trump when he was just a private citizen? Like Epstein wanted something from everyone he ever flew to his island? And they wanted something from the young ladies that wanted something from Epstein?

Another one bites the dust

The 77 year old spent 18 years in prison after being convicted of running a $500m Ponzi scheme.

TEXT:

Steven Hoffenberg, a convicted Ponzi schemer and one-time Wall Street mentor to multimillionaire sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead in his Connecticut apartment this week after a survivor of Epstein’s abuse called local cops to do a welfare check.

Maria Farmer called Derby police to check in on Hoffenberg, 77, after she failed to reach him over the phone. The two had been friends for years and spoke nearly every day. “He was family to me,” Farmer told The Daily Beast on Wednesday. “I loved him.”

In Hoffenberg, Farmer saw a kind-hearted person who became another fall guy for Epstein. He was someone who lost his wealth and became estranged from most of his family after his criminal case. In prison, he became a born-again Christian. Farmer says that in recent years, he was one of a handful of people to support her during cancer treatments. Now it appears he died alone in his modest apartment not long after getting COVID.

On Thursday, Derby Police Lt. Justin Stanko told The Daily Beast that authorities believe a man discovered Tuesday at 8:08 p.m. is likely Hoffenberg but that they were waiting for the medical examiner to make a positive identification. “Every piece of evidence, his lease, paperwork, driver’s license… is pointing to the fact that it’s Mr. Hoffenberg,” Stanko said.

Stanko said that a preliminary autopsy showed no signs of foul play or trauma and that police believe Hoffenberg, who was found on his bedroom floor, had died of natural causes.

Hoffenberg’s estranged daughter, who asked not to be named, told The Daily Beast that he was not an active part of her life. They met a few times after his release from prison.

“He spent 20 years in prison,” she said. “I grew up with a single wonderful mother and never financially benefitted from any of his business. I had a very good life. He’s not a fixture.”

Other relatives of Hoffenberg couldn’t be reached.

Farmer said Hoffenberg struggled financially but wouldn’t accept help. She feared he was declining cognitively and had invited him to move in with her so she could look after him. “He would never allow me to do anything for him,” Farmer said. “He only wanted to do for others. He said, ‘Maria I’m spending the rest of my life on this earth helping people.’”

Hoffenberg told Farmer that he felt shame for trusting Epstein and taking him under his wing in the late '80s, after the financier left Bear Stearns. (Epstein had testified that his departure from the global investment bank followed a “reg d violation”; he’d lent a friend money to buy stock.)

“The world lost a true gentleman with one of the kindest hearts and one of the most loving souls I’ve ever met. He was so loyal. He was always there,” Farmer said of Hoffenberg.

The financier, however, didn’t always have a glowing reputation.

In 1995, Hoffenberg pleaded guilty to fraud and obstruction of justice in connection to his $460-million Ponzi scheme, then one of the largest in history.

A brash and cartoonish character, Hoffenberg made headlines in 1993 as the prospective buyer of the ailing New York Post—a deal that was upended when the SEC sued him, claiming his debt-collection firm Towers Financial Corporation had exaggerated income and assets. In 1994, Manhattan federal prosecutors charged him with falsifying Towers’ records to present higher revenues for investors buying the company’s securities. Prosecutors said Hoffenberg used the millions he reaped to repay debts and to fund his lavish lifestyle.

In 1997, Manhattan federal judge Robert Sweet sentenced Hoffenberg to 20 years in prison for defrauding thousands of investors in his debt-collection firm. (Before he died in 2019, Sweet would preside over Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s defamation suit against the sex trafficker's accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.)

Sweet also ordered Hoffenberg to pay a $1 million fine and restitution of the $460 million he stole. Back then, The New York Times reported, “In fact, the money is gone, and those he defrauded got back less than a penny for every dollar they lost.” His sentence was longer than recommended by federal guidelines, in part because of victims’ letters that detailed to the court how they’d lost their life savings, retirement money, and other funds for health care and education.

“I am a 69-year-old woman who has been a teacher in the public schools of Texas for most of my adult life,” one victim wrote. “I invested almost all of my life's savings, $112,000. . . . Mr. Hoffenberg has taken away what would have been a nice retirement income for me. So as a result, I have returned to teaching and will probably have to do so as long as I am able.”

When Vanity Fair wrote a profile about Epstein in 2003, two years before Palm Beach cops began investigating him for molesting underage girls, Hoffenberg’s name surfaced in connection to the mysterious financier and his work for Towers. According to the report, Hoffenberg hired Epstein as a consultant and paid him $25,000 a month.

Three years after his 2013 release from prison, Hoffenberg sued Epstein, blaming him for the fraud and arguing he should help repay his thousands of scam victims.

Before he died, the Brooklyn native frequently commented to the press about Epstein and had accused the financier of being a “co-conspirator” in his Ponzi scheme. In one 2019 affidavit, Hoffenberg stated, “Epstein has remained free and has used and benefited from the ill-gotten gains he amassed as a result of his criminal and fraudulent activities.”

“He was my best friend for years. My closest friend for years,” Hoffenberg told CBS News of Epstein in 2019. “We ran a team of people on Wall Street, investment people that raised these billion dollars illegally. He was my guy, my wingman.”

Hoffenberg was also active on Twitter, where his bio still reads “NEW YORK POST C E O ( FORMER ), MEDIA, HOFFENBERG KNEW EPSTEIN FOR NINE YEARS, Epstein questions,” before listing his email address.

He frequently posted stories related to the Epstein case and in support of Farmer. He also posted tweets accusing Epstein and Maxwell of being spies. (Neither Maxwell nor Epstein appears to have commented about these foreign intelligence claims.)

Last summer, Hoffenberg suggested to Rolling Stone that Epstein “moved in intelligence circles” and had worked on projects with Maxwell’s media-mogul father, Robert, on his debts.

Hoffenberg had vowed to the press to help victims of his Ponzi scheme to recoup their losses by suing Epstein. He told NPR in 2019, “I’m the first one in the line to assist the victims. At 74, I’d like to go to the pearly gates assisting the victims.”

While some people balked at Hoffenberg’s public contrition, Farmer did not.

Farmer said she had tried reporting Epstein’s sexual abuse to the FBI in the mid '90s and had pushed for the U.S. Attorney’s Office to hold him accountable years before his 2019 arrest. From her perspective, the Manhattan U.S. Attorney made Hoffenberg a scapegoat for a crime she believes was masterminded by Epstein.

“I became his family and he became mine,” Farmer said of Hoffenberg. “Believe me, he had a lot of people that loved him.”

“It wasn’t someone in his family who suggested that the police go get him. I was the one who noticed he was gone.”

According to Farmer and her friend Michael Balcom, Derby cops initially seemed disinclined to check on Hoffenberg when Farmer phoned them on Saturday. “They said, ‘We’re not doing a wild goose chase’,” Farmer said, adding that the officer she spoke to was reciting information about Hoffenberg that seemed to be from Wikipedia. “This police officer starts laughing and spouting out all these horrible things about Hoff.”

Balcom, who is a former law enforcement officer, later called police on Farmer’s behalf when she wasn’t getting answers. He told The Daily Beast that he gave police an address for Hoffenberg on Sunday but didn’t hear back. He said that when he called the department again on Tuesday and warned he’d check on Hoffenberg himself, another officer agreed to visit the home. The officer found Hoffenberg dead at his residence.

But Stanko said that cops did respond to Farmer’s welfare-check requests but the address they initially received was incorrect. “Someone identifying themselves as a victim of Jeffrey Epstein was the one who initially called,” he said. “She was calling as a friend of Mr. Hoffenberg and stated she had not heard from him in several days. She was from out of state.”

Days later, Stanko added, a friend of “the initial caller” provided a second address.

“You can’t make everyone happy,” he said when asked about Farmer’s complaints that it took days for cops to find Hoffenberg. “The officer responded, contacted the landlord, tried to do a canvas. No one knew anything.”

There's an interesting angle.

Ghislaine's father

Shortly before Maxwell's death, a former employee of Israel's Military Intelligence Directorate, Ari Ben-Menashe, approached a number of news organisations in Britain and the US with the allegation that Maxwell and the Daily Mirror's foreign editor, Nicholas Davies, were both long-time agents for Mossad

There's another angle for you.

Yep, always interesting when there's a suspicious death in these circles. One thing the Govt can not tolerate is when others run Ponzi schemes. It's totally OK when they do it, though. 

Do you consider the 'intelligence community' an extension of the Govt? I do. Without the funding, they'd be out of business.

Another one bites the dust

There's an interesting angle.

Ghislaine's father

There's another angle for you.

Yep, always interesting when there's a suspicious death in these circles. One thing the Govt can not tolerate is when others run Ponzi schemes. It's totally OK when they do it, though. 

Do you consider the 'intelligence community' an extension of the Govt? I do. Without the funding, they'd be out of business.

So you don't think Mossad could kill Epstein in prison?
That if he worked for them to secure info, they couldn't disappear that list on the name of Israeli state security?
Israel is our friend.

Of course they could........you big conspiracy nut! ........anyone with enough money or the right connections could. But to have the cover up after the fact? to have guards fall asleep? and cameras not work? and his cell mate removed? Sure looks like an orchestrated Govt event to me.

Not according to the way many in DC have been shitting on them in favor of Palestinians and the Saudis. Very strange considering how toxic they've all been.

But Russia NEVER interfered!

"Gentlemen, we interfered, we are interfering, and we will interfere," declared Yevgeny Prigozhin in a statement quoted by his company, Concord. The oligarch has been sanctioned by Washington for running a "troll factory" to influence the outcome of votes in the U.S. and elsewhere.

TEXT:

LONDON (Reuters) - Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin said on Monday he had interfered in U.S. elections and would continue doing so in future, the first such admission from a figure who has been formally implicated by Washington in efforts to influence American politics.

In comments posted by the press service of his Concord catering firm on Russia's Facebook equivalent VKontakte, Prigozhin said: "We have interfered (in U.S. elections), we are interfering and we will continue to interfere. Carefully, accurately, surgically and in our own way, as we know how to do."

The remark was posted on the eve of the U.S. midterm elections in response to a request for comment from a Russian news site.

"During our pinpoint operations, we will remove both kidneys and the liver at once," Prigozhin said. He did not elaborate on the cryptic comment.

Prigozhin, who is often referred to as "Putin's chef" because his catering company operates Kremlin contracts, has been formally accused of sponsoring Russia-based "troll farms" that seek to influence U.S. politics.

In July, the U.S. State Department offered a reward of up to $10 million for information on Prigozhin in connection with "engagement in U.S. election interference". He has been hit by U.S., British and European Union sanctions.

Prigozhin kept a low public profile until recently but has become more outspoken in the course of the Ukraine war, including by criticising the performance of Russia's generals.

In September he admitted to founding the Kremlin-aligned Wagner Group mercenary group, which is active in Syria, Africa and Ukraine. Last Friday it opened a defence technology centre in St Petersburg, a further step by Prigozhin to highlight his military credentials.
