Prayer requests please. We may have been approved for actual nationwide distribution in a name brand.

This would not be happening without your support. This marks a paradigm shift in my husbandโ€™s efforts. If this goes through โ€” this instantly leapfrogs my husband from โ€œcraft distilleryโ€ to a store brand.

If itโ€™s helpful โ€” there are around 7 distillers in Utah (as I understand). A rare group for obvious reasons. We chose the hard mode.

Bluntly: these few Utah distilleries leaned into Utahโ€™s anti-LDS demographic, which is extremely pro-LGBTQ and very left-wing. My husband was the only one in Utah who refused to fly a pride flag.

Brigham Young ran a distillery for medical reasons and we seek to honor that tradition.

Please pray God blesses my husband through this new phase and we become a new example for Utah.

FUN FACT:
When the Journal of Democracy debuted in 1990, only about one in three articles even mentioned populism, nationalism, or democratic backsliding.

By the time Donald Trump was elected, it wasnโ€™t a trend anymore, it was an obsession. Now in 2025, almost 95% the journalโ€™s content warns of โ€œbackslidingโ€ or โ€œpopulist threatsโ€ to liberal democracy. ๐Ÿ“ˆ

The Journal of Democracy is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a U.S. governmentโ€“funded foundation created in the 1980s to carry forward Washingtonโ€™s democracy-promotion agenda abroad. As @MikeBenzCyber has put it, NED is functionally indistinguishable from the CIA.

The great "threat to democracy" it now obsesses over isn't Moscow or Beijing, it's populism at home.

Just sharing some data analysis as I make progress on writing the book. If you don't understand it, don't worry. This is for the hardcores.

An underrated aspect of the peace deal is that, if it succeeds, it removes much of the underlying justification for protest anger. Palestine was supposed to serve as the rallying point for color-revolution movements. Now, all these NGOs involved will need to find a new cause to mobilize around. Theyโ€™ll probably double down on ICE.

๐Ÿงต THREAD: Meet the Organizers Behind No Kings protest: Indivisibleโ€™s Leah Greenberg & Ezra Levin ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

Taking a break from book writing for this...

This week, the movement that started with a Google Doc... Indivisible... is back in the streets. โœŠ Founded by former congressional staffers Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin and funded by George Soros' Open Society network, Indivisible has grown from a viral guide into one of the most powerful grassroots networks in the U.S.

Now, theyโ€™re leading NoKings, a nationwide push to remind America that democracy means no one is above the law. ๐Ÿ‘‘โŒ

This thread dives into who Greenberg and Levin are, how Indivisible rose to prominence, and whatโ€™s really behind the โ€œNo Kingsโ€ movement.

As always, patience as I pull the thread together in real time.

990N postcards are filed for income <$50,000 and don't require exact reporting. Still should be shut down on the basis that it's... antifa and doesn't deserve tax-free contributions.

I found a declassified CIA document that states that Farid Handal, brother of the Salvadoran Communist leader, traveled to meet with representatives of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to create these solidarity networks in the USA -- including CISPES.

๐Ÿ”น In college, Barack Obama helped co-found a local chapter of CISPES (Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador), a U.S. group that supported the FMLN, a Marxist guerrilla front fighting the U.S.-backed Salvadoran government.

๐Ÿ”น CISPES often worked alongside the Nicaragua Network, which championed the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua. (U.S. intelligence later confirmed that the Sandinistas supplied El Salvadorโ€™s rebels with weapons and training.)

๐Ÿ”น As the solidarity scene matured:

โ€ข 1985: Nicaragua Network + Detroit CISPES โžก๏ธ merge โ†’ CASC (Central America Solidarity Committee)
โ€ข 1993: CASC + MICAH โžก๏ธ merge โ†’ OSCA (Organization in Solidarity with Central America)
โ€ข 1998: Former Nicaragua Network activists incorporate the Alliance for Global Justice (AFGJ), folding their old network inside as a project.

Today AFGJ still operates as a left-wing umbrella group ... the same lineage that began with 1980s โ€œsolidarityโ€ campaigns.

So yesโ€ฆ the activist ecosystem that once rallied for Marxist guerrillas in Central America evolved, merged, and rebranded, and figures like Obama (via early CISPES work) and later Bill Ayers (through AFGJ-linked circles) both trace lines back into that same network.

Foundations in the late 1960s did a hard pivot to the left by absorbing civil rights dissent instead of fighting it. Many Black Nationalist groups started getting massive amounts of money and it's been that way since for all left-wing causes. They co-opted revolution into the system itself, gave activists UBIs, and as a result traded Weathermen bombers for loyal foot soldiers.

Evidence Pereillo and Greenberg have maintained a close relationship: Pereillo also served as Special Representative for the Quadrennial Diplomacy and Development Review at the State Department from February 24, 2014 to July 5, 2015 under Barack Obama. This overlaps almost exactly with Leah Greenberg's tenure on the same board.
