In previous installments of this series, Bigger Truth reported extensively on the operation in Michigan to infiltrate the America First grassroots movement through Kristina Karamo, who a judge ruled last week was officially and legally removed on January 6 from her position as Chair of the Michigan Republican Party (MIGOP).

Previous installments detail the evidence that Karamo’s 2022 race for Secretary of State was likely lost intentionally and used as a platform to recruit and indoctrinate precinct delegates who would elect her to MIGOP Chair in February 2023, where she would inflict maximum damage on the state party - dividing, bankrupting and embroiling it in self-destructive litigation.

The reports also explore the specific language and methods used to psychologically manipulate precinct delegates, enact strict narrative control, orchestrate chaos and mob rule in conventions, remove dissenting members and engage in slanderous character assassination of Republicans who object to their methods. Their end goal is to replace experienced and effective committee members with inexperienced but loyal and disruptive members in the pursuit of fundamentally restructuring GOP bylaws to ensure their perpetual control and ineffectiveness of the party.

In the process the leaders have formed a steadfast cult-like following who unquestioningly obey the leaders’ commands and narratives as they engage in Saul Alinsky tactics in their quest to confuse and eventually destroy the Grand Ol’ Party.

Just in time for what may be the most pivotal election in our nation’s history.

This report will show specifically how this exact same operation is occurring with shocking similarities in Washington, Arizona, South Carolina and Idaho. Bigger Truth has spoken with state GOP committee members in Hawaii, California, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Texas, Wisconsin, Georgia and Florida and sees preliminary indications that these same patterns have likely occurred with similar timeframes nationwide.

Summary

• The operation first began in states like Washington, where Ron Paul Libertarians, Three Percenters, Oath Keepers and “Birchers” (John Birch Society members) rode the popularity of the Tea Party movement and embraced the narrative that “all RINOs need to be removed from the party.” Their methods were highly confrontational and anyone who spoke against them was branded a RINO. Many of them either gave up and resigned or were censured and removed from the party. These Disruptor groups took control over the state GOP county by county, making the party more extreme and alienating moderates. GOP representation in the state legislature fell from a split house and senate in 2012 to Democrats enjoying a 60% majority today.

• In Arizona, the Disruptors are led by Yale Wishnick and his organization, the Republican Party Network (RPN). Jim O’Connor, Liz Harris, Brian Ference and Shelby Busch lead the operation in Maricopa County and Steve Zipperman is the Wishnick-trained operative in Yavapai County. They openly employ the tactics of Saul Alinsky exclusively against members of their own party - not against Democrats. Their tactics include circulating enemies lists, engaging in character assassination by falsely slandering their opponents, orchestrating chaos at conventions, yelling and screaming at other precinct committeemen (PCs - the term for “delegate” used in Arizona) even as they vote, and engaging in lawfare against members of their own party.

• The situation in Arizona is especially dire. The state’s largest legislative district, LD3, is split. There are two separate groups both claiming to be LD3. Newly-elected and Trump-endorsed AZGOP Chair Gina Swoboda has now recognized the Disruptor splinter group led by Bob Gomez as the official LD3 over the group that is engaged in get-out-the-vote efforts and was elected according to the bylaws and state law, led by Candace Czarny. The Maricopa County Republican Party (MCRC), by far the largest county in Arizona, is run entirely by Disruptors, and they have helped complete a Disruptor takeover of LD26 and are in the process of taking over LD4, the second largest district in the state. The former AZGOP Chair, Jeff DeWit, recognized the threat of the Disruptors and helped curb their growth. Swoboda is tacitly encouraging the disruptors.

• In Michigan, a major bylaws revision document that the Karamo team worked on for nine months was inadvertently leaked on February 26. This document features the formation of a Conflict Resolution Committee with the power to remove party members who the committee believes are disloyal to party elites and doctrine. Another feature is stripping voters of the right to vote in primary elections and giving the power of candidate selection to the elite-controlled group of delegates. Disruptor groups in other states have signaled their intention to include policies like these in their efforts at “restructuring” the GOP.

• In Idaho, the parallels to Michigan are shocking. Dorothy Moon, the IDGOP Chair, ran for Secretary of State in 2022, just like Kristina Karamo. Moon is supported by Brent Regan, who bears ideological and methodological similarities to Mike Labadie, the shadow operator in Michigan who has been the subject of parts one and two of this series. Even more striking, Moon has enacted many of the same objectives of Karamo’s “constitution” bylaws document released on February 26.

• In South Carolina, another similar pattern is unfolding in Greenville County, the largest Republican county in the state. Jeff Davis, Olga Lisinska and Yvonne Julian have quickly taken over the county since 2020, when he took the reigns at mySCGOP.com and turned it into a marketing machine for recruiting and indoctrinating delegates. Davis has engaged in persistent lawfare against other Republicans, has worked to purge the county of all who question his methods and is banned from attending SCGOP State Executive Committee meetings due to his disruptive behavior and efforts against Republicans. The mySCGOP Disruptors engage in Saul Alinsky tactics, circulate enemies lists, engage in character assassination by falsely slandering opponents within the party, orchestrate chaos in convention, and engage in excessive lawfare against Republicans.

• Solutions to the problem have been developed in Michigan and Washington, where Republican delegates and executive committee members banded together to form grassroots efforts to remove Disruptors from party leadership and recruit and train responsible delegates, helping them to identify and avoid the goals and methods of the left practiced by Disruptor groups. In the end, removing Disruptor contingents from state parties will likely result in a more cohesive, battle-tested and inclusive party that comes together to combat the threats of Democrats’ overtly Marxist objectives to our liberties.

Timeline

The following graphical illustration presents the timeline of this operation:

The key events of this timeline are the presidential elections of 2016 and 2020 and the 2022 midterm election.

In response to President Trump’s surprise election on November 8, 2016, Chuck Schumer warned that, “When you take on the intelligence community (IC) they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you. So even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman he’s being really dumb to do this.”

Rachel Maddow asked, “What do you think the intelligence community would do?”

“I don’t know,” Schumer responded, “I don’t know, but from what I am told they are very upset with how he has treated them and talked about them.”

Indeed, the FBI had already launched Operation Crossfire Hurricane in July 2016, the coordinated effort to harm Trump’s campaign and eventual presidential administration by framing him for “Russian collusion.”

The IC then levied false charges that President Trump engaged in a “quid pro quo” on a phone call with Ukraine’s President Zelensky that led to a political impeachment.

The National Institute of Health (NIH) and Center for Disease Control (CDC) were meanwhile funding gain of function virus research through EcoHealth Alliance in Wuhan that resulted in the release of a virus that was used to justify stripping us of our liberties and the change to mail-in ballots, which enabled enough election fraud in 7 key swing states for Joe Biden to steal the 2020 election.

In the months before the 2020 election, the FBI infiltrated a small group of confused and angry conservatives in Michigan, with FBI assets outnumbering non-assets nearly three to one, to orchestrate a contrived plot to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Steven M. D’Antuono was the FBI Detroit Field Office Director who oversaw that operation. He was then promoted to Assistant Director of the Washington Field Office in early October, 2020, to help plan the framing of the Jan 6 peaceful protestors with the help of at least 200 FBI assets who were embedded in the crowd posing as Trump supporters.

The IC, with the help of the media they control, immediately began to call the protests of the stolen election on Jan. 6 an “insurrection,” a word deliberately chosen because of its inclusion as a disqualifying offense for the office of President in the 14th Amendment. The attempts to use the 14th Amendment to disqualify President Trump from a 2nd term likely are not over, even after the Supreme Court’s recent decision that Colorado’s effort to remove Trump from the ballot on 14th Amendment grounds was unconstitutional.

At the time of Schumer’s interview with Maddow in Jan. 2017, the evidence provided throughout this series suggests that another operation was underway, one that was designed to infiltrate the populist movement that elected Trump in the first place and turn it against the Republican Party with the goals and methods of the far left.

This is an operation to infiltrate the local Republican Parties in key counties, districts, and states to recruit and indoctrinate enough delegates to be able to cement their control over the party and render it ineffective in the 2024 election and beyond. If this operation succeeds, the GOP will be rendered completely ineffective and the Democrats, the IC “blob” and their globalist allies will have complete and tyrannical control over this country.

Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals”

The methods used by Disruptors in every state line up with Saul Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals.”

Alinsky opened his book in the acknowledgements with a tribute to Lucifer. Much of the book is devoted to explaining the goals and methods of what he calls “community organization.” President Barak Hussein Obama frequently referred to himself as an Alinsky student-turned community organizer.

In his book, Alinsky wrote, “The first step in community organization is community disorganization. The disruption of the present organization is the first step toward community organization. Present arrangements must be disorganized if they are to be displaced by new patterns... All change means disorganization of the old and organization of the new.”

Alinsky continued to explain the role of contrived conflict to accomplish the goal of destruction of an organization before eventually reorganizing in a communist image: “An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent... to develop and harness the necessary power to effectively conflict with the prevailing patterns and change them. When those prominent in the status quo turn and label you an 'agitator' they are completely correct, for that is, in one word, your function – to agitate to the point of conflict.”

Alinsky laid out 13 “rules” in his book, culminating in the final rule, "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." This method is practiced in every state Bigger Truth has examined.

In many of these states members of these organizations are called Disruptors by those who oppose them. This is an apt description and the word Bigger Truth has chosen to use.

“It’s a cult”

In every state in which Bigger Truth has been able to establish relationships with GOP insiders who are combatting this operation, the party insiders describe the Disruptors with the same three words: “It’s a cult.”

Indeed, when examining the language, beliefs, and behavior patterns of the leaders and followers of the organizations, they are cults, according to every secular and biblical definition.

Wikipedia defines a cult as “a group which is typically led by a charismatic and self-appointed leader, who tightly controls its members, requiring unwavering devotion to a set of beliefs and practices which are considered deviant (outside the norms of society).” Every aspect of this definition applies to the Disruptor groups in the five states included in this report.

Here is a striking and recent example of this from Ottawa County, Michigan:

Not only is this overtly antisemitic, it is not Biblical Christianity. Jesus himself established a free and secular state when he said, “Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.” The First Amendment reflects the true freedom of Christ - the absolute freedom to think and speak as we each believe God is calling us to do as individuals.

The cult often claims to be Christian Nationalist but rejects the actual ideals of the freedom that can only be found in redemption in Christ and that is reflected by our Constitution.

The ideas espoused in the above video are that of a cult that demands compliance by force. In every state, the Disruptor cult declares that everyone who does not pay absolute allegiance to the leadership and its ever-shifting purity tests is a RINO. When the cult attains enough power in county, district and state parties it uses mob rule to censure and remove members who dare to speak out against them.

Washington: test case

Just as the Whitmer kidnapping plot was a test case for FBI infiltration and incitement on January 6 2021, Washington state was a test case for the operation that expanded significantly in 2017.

Bigger Truth spoke with Debby Trudeau, an Arizona State Committeeman, who moved from Washington to Arizona in December 2020. She had been involved in the GOP since 1972 and had served as district chair in her legislative district in Washington. Trudeau first noticed a troubling trend at a county convention in 2012.

“I was working credentials for the 2012 Presidential election in Kitsap County,” Trudeau said. “We ran across a problem with people who we thought had false I.D.s. They were actually with the Ron Paul Party and were trying to infiltrate the Republican Party in Washington state. We had to have the sheriff come and remove these people from our convention.”

Trudeau said the Ron Paul Libertarians were removed because they were not GOP delegates and they were forceful, armed and obstinate.

“They started a process to try to remove all of us that they considered to be RINOs,” Trudeau continued. “If we weren't with them they called us a RINO. They eventually took over and were elected at the county level and at the state GOP board. They literally changed the name in my county from the Kitsap Republican Party to the Kitsap Republican Libertarian Party. This was happening all over the state.

“They were doing a lot of censuring. They passed resolutions to censure all of our incumbents in the house. When they started doing this, Republicans were in the minority by one seat in the state house and I think we had a one seat majority in the senate. Now we are down by about 20% in the house and the senate and we don't have any elected Republicans at the state level. It's all blue.

“They basically went after all of our incumbents, primarying them and forcing them to drain their funds in the primary so when they got to the general they had nothing left. That happened in the senate and the house.”

As these groups took over the party they drove out the Republicans who had the most experience and connections to get things done. Under their leadership the party became more interested in applying ideological purity tests against other Republicans than in winning elections against Democrats. And they steered the party so far to the right that it alienated moderates and independents, preventing the GOP from being a viable electoral alternative to the Democrats, who were racing to their own radical extremes as they gained insurmountable control over all three branches of state government.

Arizona

Shortly after Trudeau moved to Arizona, she was recruited to get involved in the local GOP because of her experience in the party. She became Maricopa County Republican Committee (MCRC) Sargent at Arms in March 2021.

“I realized as soon as I started with MCRC that the same thing was happening here because they used the same exact language,” Trudeau said. “The Disruptors here say, ‘the end justifies the means.’ They believe that if they think an official within the party is not following the Constitution they must remove them by any means necessary.”

By July 2021 Trudeau had seen the same behavior she saw in Washington: yelling and abusive behavior at conventions and using Robert’s Rules, Newly Revised (RONR) as a weapon to get their way even when they were the minority.

The abuse of RONR to manipulate the outcomes of meetings is an extremely common feature in every state Bigger Truth has examined. Disruptor organizations teach classes in the specific use of RONR to change convention rules, cause delays, shut down opposing motions, prevent debate, and grind down and wear out opponents. Disruptors frequently cause meetings to run several hours later than anticipated until enough opposing PCs give up and go home, leaving Disruptors to come out on top.

Bigger Truth spoke with Candace Czarny. She was elected as District Chair for Maricopa County’s Legislative District (LD) 3 on December 1, 2022. Czarny came to understand the nature of the war she had unwittingly stepped into shortly after adjournment of the meeting in which she was elected.

Czarny said, “As the tabulator consultants and the parliamentarian were in the process of sealing the ballots, about a dozen people started yelling and screaming at them, demanding a hand recount. I told them, ‘We can’t do that. The meeting is adjourned. We don’t have quorum. After more argument, the tabulator consultants gave them a thumb drive with the ballot images. The next day, they started complaining about the proxy forms.”

The Disruptors promoted the false narrative that Czarny’s election was due to election fraud, even though the ballot images proved Czarny won. Because of the obvious indications of election fraud in the 2020 and 2022 Arizona elections, election integrity is a hot-button issue that Disruptors frequently use to manipulate their followers.

A few weeks later, on January 12, 2023, Czarny chaired her first LD3 meeting. In the weeks leading up to the meeting, the Disruptors spread false accusations that her election was stolen. On the Disruptors’ chat rooms, she was called a RINO, Satan, crazy witch and more. Concerned for the personal safety of Czarny and all PCs in attendance, the executive committee paid for three police officers to be present throughout the meeting. This video clearly illustrates the behavior of the Arizona Disruptors at that meeting:

Disruptive Behavior

The leader and spiritual guru of the Disruptor cult in Maricopa County is Jim O’Connor. As Chairman of the Arizona Corporation Commission, O’Connor is the highest elected Disruptor in the state. He hosts frequent online and in person “prayer meetings,” often immediately preceding meetings like the one in January 2023.

Czarny said, “We often say they get together to pray, then they come to our meetings to prey on everyone that’s not in their cult.” As can be clearly seen in the video above, their behavior is extremely hostile, rude and self-righteous - behavior at complete odds with their claims of Christianity and aligned instead with Saul Alinsky.

The leaders of the Maricopa County Disruptors, including O’Connor, Brian Ference, Shelby Busch, Liz Harris, Craig Berland and Daniel McCarthy frequently use Bible verses selected to justify their actions. As we have shown in prior reports, Disruptor groups in Michigan use scripture as a means of manipulating their followers into believing they are in a holy war, enemies are all around them and especially in the GOP, and God is on their side.

Absent from their teachings are passages that emphasize the commandment to forgive those who sin against us, that the joy of the Lord is our strength, that our words are to be used only to build up and encourage each other, and that we are all on equal footing as sinners in need of a Savior.

The Disruptors in Arizona frequently promote the narrative that “good cannot mix with evil,” implying that the Disruptors are good and everyone else in the party is evil and must be removed. Michele Swinick, a podcaster who has appeared on Steve Bannon’s War Room, overtly dehumanized other Republicans when she shouted in an episode (about 39:00) featuring O’Connor, “You’re dealing with demons. You’re not dealing with politicians. It’s the uniparty but it’s full of demons. The things they just did in this election, it’s not - I know how - it’s not that they - how do they sleep at night? They can sleep at night because THESE PEOPLE ARE DEMONS! IT’S THAT EXTREME(sic)!”

On September 8, 2023, LD3 First Vice-Chair Nancy Ordowski delivered an excellent speech at an LD3 meeting. The whole thing is worth a listen, as she explains specifically how the Disruptors apply Alinsky tactics. If you’re in a hurry start at 12:40 to hear how Jim O’Connor and his followers behave when they are challenged. Unfortunately, there is no known video of the event but the audio is riveting.

Disruptive Tactics

Shortly after Czarny’s election, a group led by O’Connor, Craig Berland and Bob Gomez began recruiting and appointing new PCs to fill vacant delegate slots. According to the bylaws, only elected PCs - not appointed PCs - can vote in certain situations.

In March 2023, after repeated threats and calls by the Disruptors to remove Czarny, they called a meeting in violation of district bylaws to remove her and other members of the LD3 Executive Committee. Czarny and her supporters, who comprised more than half of elected PCs in the district, did not attend that meeting.

At that illegitimate meeting, an alternate LD3 was formed with its own “executive committee,” led by Bob Gomez. MCRC, which by that time was dominated by Disruptors, recognized Gomez’s group as the legitimate LD3, even though the meeting in which it was formed violated bylaws and was supported by fewer than half of the elected PCs. In April Czarny took Gomez’s group to court, and in October 2023 the judge ruled that Czarny’s election was legitimate according to state statute and party bylaws, but offered no relief. The judge said it was an inter-party matter that needed to be settled within the party.

Despite the Disruptors’ claims that her election was due to election fraud, no evidence of fraud was produced in court.

The Maricopa County Republican Committee (MCRC) violated their bylaws and the LD3 bylaws by calling for a new election in March 2023. The AZGOP Executive Committee voted 2 to 1 that Czarny is the official LD3 Chair prior to DeWit’s departure.

This week, AZGOP Chair Gina Swoboda reversed course by declaring that MCRC has the authority to decide which group is the legitimate LD3. Because MCRC is completely dominated by Disruptors, this was a clear determination by Swoboda that the Disruptors are in control. (Corrected 3/13)

The existence of dueling county, district and even state parties has occurred in multiple states. In Arizona, this also happened in Pima County.

In Bingham County, Idaho a similar situation unfolded that ended up in court.

In Lexington County, South Carolina, a group of mySCGOP-affiliated Disruptors were removed from the county party in accordance with the bylaws. The Disruptors split off and formed their own group that they continue to call the “official” Lexington County Republican Party.

In Michigan, Hillsdale, Kalamazoo and Macomb counties all had alternate parties established by Disruptors. Michigan even had two state parties for nearly two months after Kristina Karamo refused to step down when she was removed on January 6. MIGOP had two separate sets of chairs, administrative staff, bank accounts and websites throughout that time.

At the March 2 Caucus led by official MIGOP chair Pete Hoekstra, two of the state’s 13 congressional districts held their own illegitimate caucuses, led by executive committee members of each district who claimed that the official district caucuses were illegitimate.

“Re-make the GOP”

Yale Wishnick has admitted publicly that he was a communist, trained under Saul Alinsky in the 70s and worked for the California Teachers Union for over 40 years. He claims that he converted to conservatism about around 2010, when he wrote his book, “From a Culture of Dependency to a Culture of Success.” In 2014 he was an outspoken advocate of the Convention of States, a movement to form an Article V convention of states that was intended to radically reign in Constitutional overreach of the federal government.

The Convention of States movement has lost significant steam over the last few years as several constitutional experts expressed concerns that such a convention could easily be overrun by operatives and used to have the opposite effect that the supporters intended.

Wishnick’s efforts in recent years demonstrate a continued, overt adherence to the methods of the communist left. He has taught classes on “Saul Alinsky for Republicans” and has offered bootcamps to train his activist followers on how to run for office. The following screenshot from one of Wishnick’s videos is a concise summary of all of Alinsky’s 13 rules:

Wishnick’s focus and the stated purpose of RPN is to “restructure the Republican Party as a 50-state network.” The following screenshot from a United Republicans of Green Valley newsletter clearly illustrates their intent to “re-make the Republican Party from within” ideologically and to “transform RINOs into a true conservative party.”

Bigger Truth reached out to Wishnick for comment on this story and he responded, “You better have a good lawyer if you print any comments that suggest anything other than my being a loyal member of the Republican Party.”

When presented with a summary of the above findings and conclusions, he repeated several times that he is a “Jeffersonian Republican.” He said, “I also find your email to be threatening. It is my intention to contact the authorities.”

Wishnick later emailed that he read the @BiggerTruth X thread and said, “I have not done anything you suggested. I have consistently been a supporter of President Trump… I am unsure what you think you know, but it is invalid.”

The problem is methodological, not ideological.

The fundamental problem Wishnick and other Disruptor leaders discuss - a communist deep state takeover of the country - is very real and felt by most Republicans who are deeply troubled by evidence of election fraud, Biden’s open borders, woke military, promotion of transgenderism and homosexuality to children, two-tiered justice system, and out-of-control government spending.

The only way to solve these problems is for Republicans to win elections at every level of government and for Republican voters to hold them accountable. The Disruptors’ efforts to move the party farther and farther to the right ideologically while using the goals and methods of the far left will only ensure that the very agenda the Disruptors’ followers reject will strengthen.

The only way to ensure that Republicans win elections is to focus on the biggest issues that Americans from left of center all the way to the far right agree on. The grassroots need the help, expertise and financial support of the establishment. The establishment needs the popular support of the grassroots. The Disruptor operation has effectively infiltrated the grassroots and turned it against the establishment and even against the grassroots who want to work to help get Republicans elected.

An even more startling objective of the Disruptors in each of these five states is the effort to restructure party bylaws in such a way that it becomes an elitist power structure that resembles the Party of Lenin more than the Party of Lincoln.

Bylaws changes

As Bigger Truth previously reported, a document was leaked on February 26 that the Karamo administration worked on for about nine months. It was called the “MIGOP Constitution” and would have overridden all county and district party bylaws in Michigan. While it is full of flowery references to the Bible and the U.S. Constitution, the changes it would have imposed are shockingly direct in their Marxist origin. You can read it in its entirety here.

One section on “loyalty” declares that the party must be every member’s highest priority, more important than any personal interest. It also declares that “disloyalty is good cause for removal.” The MIGOP constitution and other documents and resolutions drafted by the Karamo team feature the following characteristics:

1. A “Conflict Resolution Committee (CRC)” with the power to remove members from the party for any reason the committee deems necessary.

2. Stripping voters’ ability to vote in primary elections for every race from county government up to US President and giving the power to select candidates to a caucus of delegates (who are dictated by the CRC how to vote).

3. Delegates to RNC National Convention are either decided by elitist committee or decided by delegates (who again are dictated how to vote).

In heavily-Republican Idaho, IDGOP Chair Dorothy Moon has pursued or enacted strikingly similar changes:

1. Bylaws were amended for 2024 to include “Article XX: Idaho Republican Party Platform Enforcement (p. 44),” which gives county, district and state parties the ability to censure and remove members and elected officials for “violating the platform.” An anonymous IDGOP insider told Bigger Truth that the party is already holding trials under Article XX. He also suggested that, as is frequently seen with the Democrat platform, the IDGOP “platform” is an ever-evolving, moving target. Party members may no longer vote their conscience when their conscience conflicts with the current platform.

2. Moon led a change from Presidential primary election to a caucus

3. Voters and delegates are no longer able to select delegates to the RNC National Convention. Delegates are now hand-selected by a committee that is heavily influenced by Dorothy Moon and the influential Idaho Freedom Foundation (IFF), led by Brent Regan.

As Bigger Truth previously reported, the change in how national delegates are selected is particularly concerning in its potential implications for Trump’s nomination and possibly for the nomination of his Vice President running mate. Bigger Truth spoke with state committee members in Nebraska and Kansas and it appears likely that red states, in particular, will send many radical Disruptor delegates to the national convention.

Michigan selected 6-7 known Karamo cult insiders to the national convention as delegates and alternates. These are people who have been widely known to create chaos at conventions.

In Michigan, the Karamo cult insiders have argued that their “closed caucus” scheme to allow only delegates to select candidates is necessary because the open primary allows Democrats to vote in the Republican primaries. Similar arguments have been made in Washington and Idaho.

In Arizona there is a closed primary. Every voter is registered with their primary affiliation and they can only vote in the primary election that corresponds to their voter registration.

This is a system that the left has long sought to change. OpenPrimaries.org is affiliated with the “Radical-left” and funds campaigns to change states’ policies from closed primaries to open primaries. However, Arizona GOP Disruptors in the state House just recently proposed a bill that would end primaries altogether, and instead allow only legislators from each party to select their party’s candidates.

The question many have asked about these policy changes is, “Why are they doing this now, in this critical election year?”

Good question.

Trespassing in Greenville

In Greenville County, South Carolina, Jeff Davis is the cult leader of the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP). He runs a small team with an inner circle comprised of just Davis, his wife, Olga Lisinska, and Yvonne Julian. All three of them have strange backgrounds.

Davis was convicted of embezzling $950,000 in client money as a financial planner in Georgia in 2012. He later filed bankruptcy then moved to Greenville. He and his wife donated to Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Jeff Davis, Director mySCGOP.com. Screenshot from a meeting in which he calls a long-time conservative member a RINO.

Also an attorney and former CPA, Davis and Lisinska formed a nonprofit organization called Palmetto Kids First Scholarship, Inc. They were being investigated for a quid pro quo scheme, where they allegedly offered donors scholarships to private K-12 schools in exchange for their tax-free donations to the organization. Donors allegedly saved significant money via tax savings by funneling their tuition money through Davis’ nonprofit and Davis allegedly pocketed a decent income.

One of Davis’ favorite issues that he frequently discusses in meetings reviewed by Bigger Truth is school choice, and he appears to propose specific changes that would likely provide additional revenue to his scholarship organization.

When state revenue agents began their investigation into the organization, Lisinska allegedly baited the agents through a honeypot scheme into making sexual comments about her. She was able to record the comments and use her allegations against the agents to get the investigation dismissed.

Bigger Truth spoke with a former Greenville County 2nd Vice-Chair, Dakota Fitzgerald, who said, “I was exiled for questioning Davis about his Marxist tactics and personal attacks that undermine our goals as Republicans.”

Davis served Fitzgerald and a few other party members with a no trespassing notice that sought to prevent them from accessing the county headquarters prior to a key special meeting. Davis actually called the police when the delegates and executive committee members tried to attend the meeting. The police said the no trespassing notice was unenforceable.

Just as Debby Trudeau recognized the Disruptors in Arizona because they used the same language as the Disruptors in Washington, Jeff Davis also uses the same language in Greenville County as the disruptors in other states.

The Unity of Mission logo below features strong industrial bold design, reminiscent of Marxist imagery. The expectation of unity paired with the process of silencing dissent is a communist pairing. The second image is from an email newsletter sent out by Davis. “Trust no one” is one of the favorite sayings of Mike Labadie, the operator in Michigan that Bigger Truth covered in part one of this series.

Davis has also argued for the use of Alinsky tactics by Republicans. It is extremely problematic that he uses these tactics against other Republicans, including established conservatives within the SC Freedom Caucus.

Davis frequently engages in what can best be described as communist-style struggle sessions against those who try to call him out for his tyrannical methods. This signal group message from Davis provides a startling example:

In the above message, Davis determines that GCRP delegates are no longer MAGA by his own decree - unless they go through a Conflict Resolution Committee that would presumably change their thinking by force, thus allowing them back into the club.

He continues to say “Our MOVEMENT is about TEAM!!! No more “self… Get on the bus, or get run over by the bus…” This certainly echoes the Karamo “Constitution” document and the communist mandate: “Party above self!”

Davis did not respond to a request for comment.

Idaho Show Trials

Brent Regan moved from Davis, California to Idaho in 1999. An IDGOP insider with direct knowledge, who asked to be anonymous for fear of reprisal, told Bigger Truth that Regan has a long term mutually supportive relationship with Heather Scott, who appears to be a legitimate white supremacist and is a current Idaho State Representative.

Scott was closely tied to Matt Shea in Spokane in the Tea Party days. Shea, Scott and Regan got their start as Ron Paul Libertarians.

Regan became involved in the Idaho Freedom Foundation (IFF), a pre-existing conservative think tank, and became its leader. He is well-spoken and an articulate writer and has become a powerfully influential force in Idaho. He has made IFF into a powerful marketing system to recruit and indoctrinate delegates.

Regan supported Dorothy Moon in her race for Secretary of State. Much like Karamo’s campaign for Secretary of State, Moon’s messaging was oriented completely towards the incoming class of delegates that Regan was helping to draw in, with the help of the national delegate recruitment drive being led by Dan Schultz and Steve Bannon.

Moon lost her Secretary of State race in the primary and began her campaign for IDGOP Chair. Regan and the new class of delegates delivered a victory for Moon.

The result so far is a party that seems desperate for donations, very little financial transparency, bylaws changes that give the Chair the ability to hand select delegates to the National Convention, and Article XX show trials.

IDGOP is already holding show trials to censure and remove elected officials from the party.

Throughout early 2023, Moon and fellow Disruptor and IFF Vice-Chair Bryan Smith led an exhaustive effort to remove Damond Watkins as RNC Committeeman. This excellent report tells the heartbreaking story of how Moon personally engaged Watkins’ closest friend to emotionally and psychologically manipulate Watkins to resign.

According to the Post-Register report, Watkins said, “The big jugular for me was when she said, ‘You think Frank is your friend? He’s going to drop you like a fly. In fact, Frank’s told me that anything that comes out of your mouth should be disavowed.”

He continued, “I’m getting emotional at this point, because… after the accident (he was in a traumatic plane accident that broke his back) when I wake up from that surgery, I’m in the ICO, my wife’s on the floor… and Frank is next to me holding my hand, you know? I had a moment of weakness, and I said, ‘Dorothy, what do you want?’”

He said that Moon responded, “I want you to resign. Make it go away. If you resign right now, this report will go away.”

Watkins said he was distraught and immediately “I sent a text message saying ‘I resign.’”

He later said he did so under duress and tried to fight it, but the RNC Parliamentarians determined that the written resignation could not be undone.

When the Post-Register asked Moon for comment, she said “This is all misinformation. That is an absolute lie.”

Smith was elected last Summer to take his place.

As Bigger Truth has covered extensively, Kristina Karamo and all of those in her immediate orbit have a habit of fluidly making deliberately untrue statements. The party insiders we have spoken to in each of these states have affirmed that the Disruptors in their states do as well.

More Michigan show trials

In Michigan, in the wake of Karamo’s removal as MIGOP Chair, the state’s northern first district is engaged in similar show trials. As will be reported in more detail in the coming days, the D1 Executive Committee is planning a Zoom meeting for March 15 to remove Vice-Chair Melanie Greenfield for speaking out against Karamo.

On Monday, former State Rep Daire Rendon, who claims to be D1 Chair even though MIGOP recognizes Sue Allor as the legitimate D1 Chair, sent an open letter to MIGOP demanding MIGOP publicize the list of D1 delegates who attended the March 2 district caucus in Grand Rapids.

Last night, D1’s Mackinac County Republican Party signaled Rendon’s likely motivation when County Chair Roxanne DuFort notified Barb Schroeder of their intent to remove Schroeder from the party for attending the district caucus.

It appears D1 Disruptors intend to purge all dissenting voices from the district.

Rendon and DuFort did not respond to a request for comment.

Conclusion

In Washington, Arizona, Idaho, Michigan, and South Carolina we see the same methods among Disruptors within the GOP:

• Operators who use the same language and methods to psychologically and emotionally manipulate their followers.

• Operator-controlled organizations that recruit and indoctrinate low-information delegates.

• Use of Biblical scripture as a weapon against political enemies and a tool for manipulation against their followers.

• Labelling all who speak out against them as RINOs who need to be removed from the party.

• Involvement of individuals with alleged or convicted criminal backgrounds.

• Private Signal and Telegram channels that are used for strict narrative control and character assassination of opponents within the party.

• Orchestrated chaos at conventions.

• Various forms of Conflict Resolution Committees used to censure and remove dissenters from the party.

• Restriction of financial transparency in county, district and state parties when Disruptors are in control.

• Changes in party bylaws to give Disruptor executives more control and power over delegates and the direction of the party.

• Endless talk about election integrity, poorly conceived lawsuits destined to fail, and no real action that improves election integrity. They claim to be the only ones in the party to care about election integrity but when examining their actions it becomes clear there is no fruit.

• Continuous insulting of large donors, rejection of large donations and blaming donors for the problems often created by Disruptor leaders.

• No credible get out the vote efforts.

• Efforts to move the party towards ideological extremes in election integrity, abortion, and other key issues that limit the party’s appeal to only the voters farthest to the right.

The outcome of all of this is a GOP that does not offer a viable electoral alternative for the Democrat Party that is clearly spiraling towards communism.

Some good news

There is reason for hope, however. In Michigan, a significant grassroots movement rose up to remove Karamo and elect Pete Hoekstra. President Trump got involved after Karamo’s removal on January 6 and endorsed Hoekstra then held a small rally to show his support of Hoekstra and his team.

The grassroots faction that removed Karamo drew together “Ultra MAGA,” MAGA, moderates and even establishment from all corners of the state who united to remove the cancerous Disruptor leadership from the party.

There are still issues. Three of the state’s 13 districts are decidedly under Disruptor control. But the tide has turned and voters and delegates are beginning to recognize that these people do not serve the GOP in this critical election year.

MIGOP is now battle tested and may be more cohesive than it has ever been. The party has gained major internal and legal victories in its efforts to remove Disruptors. Hoekstra is working on repairing relationships with the state’s traditional large GOP donors. There is a broad and general excitement and enthusiasm to get to work and win in November.

The only way to end it

As much as they want to move on from all the conflict, however, they know that they can’t. Even after Karamo’s removal, the Disruptor groups are doubling down, planning protests, forming alliances with other conservative groups, and implementing phone banks - not to get out the vote, but to recruit more delegates.

Karamo’s former chief of staff, Lori Skibo, produced a video the day after the March 2 district caucus in which she said, “We will not stop until we reclaim this party, state and nation.”

In 2018, before Debby Trudeau moved from Washington to Arizona, she and a handful of other county chairs devised the only real solution to the problem. They formed a small PAC in each county. In Kitsap County, there were 150 precinct delegates.

They created a list of every precinct delegate who had been forced out of the party or resigned. They contacted every one of them and recruited others who they knew to be responsible to run for delegate. They had 110 delegate candidates. Most of the races were contested.

Trudeau and six others helped door knock. They also hand addressed thousands of postcards that targeted a very select mailing list that they believed to contain no Disruptors but reliable Republican primary voters. “We worked for months and months on this,” Trudeau said. “My dining table was full of those postcards.”

In the end 86 of the 110 candidates won their races. They now had a true conservative majority who recognized the threat of the Disruptors. “We took the county back.”

In most of states across the country, the deadline to file to become a candidate for precinct delegate or precinct committeeman is fast approaching. That deadline may be one of the most important events in a very eventful 2024.
