Erik Prince, the security contractor with close ties to the Trump administration, has in recent years helped recruit former American and British spies for secretive intelligence-gathering operations that included infiltrating Democratic congressional campaigns, labor organizations and other groups considered hostile to the Trump agenda, according to interviews and documents.
One of the former spies, an ex-MI6 officer named Richard Seddon, helped run a 2017 operation to copy files and record conversations in a Michigan office of the American Federation of Teachers, one of the largest teachers’ unions in the nation. Seddon directed an undercover operative to secretly tape the union’s local leaders and try to gather information that could be made public to damage the organization, documents show.
Using a different alias the next year, the same undercover operative infiltrated the congressional campaign of Abigail Spanberger, then a former CIA officer who went on to win an important House seat in Virginia as a Democrat. The campaign discovered the operative and fired her.
Erik Prince, Blackwater founder and Betsy DeVos’ brother, recruits ex-spies to infiltrate liberal groups — including campaigns and unions
I think we have hit good time level here. It doesn't get much better than this.
What could they being saying proposing that would give anyone a reason to check out their agenda unless it was one of a communist bent? Taking over education was one of the goals of communists of the 1930's....capturing academia to push said agenda.
Devos had a big agenda of taking public school money and creating a voucher program that would help not only give money to her rich friends to help pay for private schooling, but also help raise enrollment and the profits for her friends that own and run those private schools. The best way to do that is weaken any organization that fights or will fight to stop that.
Our public school system has become an unfunny joke. I was in a store and my purchases came to nine dollars and six cents. I handed her a ten dollar bill, a quarter and a penny. She entered the ten dollars but couldn't add the 26 cents because she hit "Enter" before she could enter the .26 cents. She pulled out the cellphone for the calculator feature to figure out how to give back a buck and two dimes instead of doing the math in her head. I would say unequivocally that we have a massive problem with education in this country.
Not everyone is good in every subject in school, and let's be real do you expect every adult working as a cashier instead of being a nurse, teacher, doctor, etc.? Do you think taking money from public schools is going to make them better?
As we have seen, putting more money in there does not produce better results.
We can only conclude they don't need the money as there is no potential there.
