Allies of Defend Texas Liberty Now Assert Meeting with Fuentes Was Fine

The Enterprise has disseminated directives to their allies on a new messaging strategy in an effort to divert attention from Defend Texas Liberty's collaborating and routine employment of antisemites. This report aims to dissect the actions taken and establish the connections among individuals propagating these narratives through various communication channels.

The Enterprise's deployment of this strategy for testing purposes, often followed by broader implementation, is a common approach; however, they suffer from a significant drawback as their chosen spokespersons poorly deliver the message.

The Enterprise Strategy To Downplay Collaborating with Nazis

Here's the general concept being observed across multiple key influencers within The Enterprise:

1. Denial of Responsibility: Minimizing the gravity of collaborating with Nick Fuentes by framing the issue as a matter of acceptability rather than acknowledging the inherent wrongdoing. This approach is their attempt to deny and downplay the responsibility of the Defend Texas Liberty's decision to meet with Nick Fuentes on more than on occasion, and employ individuals with ties to various antisemitic hate groups.

2. Shifting Blame: By deflecting blame onto the public, The Enterprise sidesteps addressing the core issues with their conduct. Instead they have begun to insinuate that the public is responsible for divisiveness, effectively shifting accountability away from Defend Texas Liberty.

3. Playing the Victim: The Enterprise is attempting to construct a narrative in which the leadership of Defend Texas Liberty are portrayed as victims, unjustly judged and executed by those who have never directly interacted with them. This portrayal aims to evoke sympathy for Defend Texas Liberty and downplays their roles in meeting with Nick Fuentes on more than on occasion, and employing individuals with ties to various antisemitic hate groups.

4. Historical Comparisons: Their strategy also includes showing-off their ignorance to historical events, like making references like the French Revolution, outrage mobs, and specific cities to distract from the central issue. These references serve to redirect the reader's focus away from Defend Texas Liberty's decision to meet with Nick Fuentes on more than on occasion, and employ individuals with ties to various antisemitic hate groups.

5. Justification: There is an attempt to justify Defend Texas Liberty's actions by implying that the public lacks the entitlement to pass judgment or condemnation. This justification is an attempt to deflect responsibility for Defend Texas Liberty’s actions.

6. Appealing to Political Values: The post invokes conservative values and positions the controversy as a departure from the principles of conservative Republicans. This appeal seeks support or sympathy from a particular political perspective, and is an intentional ploy to try and wrongly suggest meeting with antisemites is a conservative ideal.

7. Emotional Manipulation: The Enterprise has encouraged their mouthpieces to employ emotionally charged language. These phrases are designed to invoke feelings of guilt or empathy, further advancing the victim narrative and deflect from Defend Texas Liberty being held accountable for meeting with Nick Fuentes on more than on occasion, and employing individuals with ties to various antisemitic hate groups.

Here are a few examples:

Michelle Smith plays the role of a blunt but woefully ignorant operative in the service of Attorney General Ken Paxton. Her primary function within Paxton's sphere of influence involves concealing misdeeds, employing defamation, issuing threats, and distorting Biblical scripture as a means of manipulating her intended targets, compelling them to conform to the wishes of Paxton or The Enterprise.

Smith also asserted that Defend Texas Liberty is above providing an explanation for their meeting with the known anti-Semite Nick Fuentes, which reeks of arrogance and hypocrisy. It's clear that if the roles were reversed, Smith would be the first to demand transparency and accountability from public officials.

Rachel Horton is a member of the Republican Party of Texas SREC and often serves as a reliable parrot for The Enterprise whenever they need assistance in countering the SREC's efforts to hold them accountable.

Horton was recently let go from her position at Jonathan Stickland's Pale Horse Strategies. There are speculations that her termination was related to her inconsistent attendance at work, mainly due to her long-standing suspended driver's license, which has been in effect since 2011.

Notably, Horton was again arrested for a third time for driving with an 'invalid license' and is currently awaiting trial, which is scheduled to commence on December 3, 2023.

What's intriguing is that she had to enlist the services of a bondsman to secure a $750 bail, which stands out as atypical for The Enterprise, known for investing millions in defending and supporting valuable allies. Horton's termination and subsequent bail situation raise questions about her continued allegiance to The Enterprise, as it appears they do not hold her in high regard.

Beyond her legal struggles, Horton also has issues with being honest and trustworthy, as one individual highlighted on X, formerly known as Twitter, for her routine of playing dumb:

The Enterprise Wants To Be Viewed As The Victim

Furthermore, Horton's post sheds light on the orchestrated talking points seemingly engineered by The Enterprise, evidenced by a suspiciously coordinated wave of similar excuses emerging from individuals closely tied to The Enterprise within a remarkably short time frame. These coordinated excuses aim to divert attention from the deeply concerning actions of The Enterprise in holding a meeting with Fuentes.

Comparing Horton's Post To The Enterprise's Preferred Messaging Tactics

Horton’s post is replete with tactics commonly associated with excuse-making and the construction of a victim narrative Texans have come to expect from The Enterprise. Let's delve deeper into these traits:

1. Denial of Responsibility: The post minimizes the gravity of collaborating with Nick Fuentes by framing the issue as a matter of acceptability rather than acknowledging the inherent wrongdoing. This approach attempts to deny or downplay the responsibility of the individual involved in such a collaboration.

2. Shifting Blame: By deflecting blame onto the public, the post sidesteps addressing the core issue of collaborating with Fuentes. It insinuates that the public is responsible for divisiveness, effectively shifting accountability away from Defend Texas Liberty.

3. Playing the Victim: The post constructs a narrative in which the leadership of Defend Texas Liberty are portrayed as victims, unjustly judged and executed by those who have never directly interacted with them. This portrayal aims to evoke sympathy for Defend Texas Liberty and downplays their role in the controversy.

4. Historical Comparisons: The post employs historical events and references like the French Revolution, outrage mobs, and specific cities to distract from the central issue. These references serve to redirect the reader's focus away from the questionable collaboration and onto unrelated topics.

5. Justification: There is an attempt to justify the individual's actions by implying that the public lacks the authority to pass judgment or condemnation. This justification aligns with the person's attempt to deflect responsibility for Defend Texas Liberty’s actions.

6. Appealing to Political Values: The post invokes conservative values and positions the controversy as a departure from the principles of conservative Republicans. This appeal seeks support or sympathy from a particular political perspective.

7. Emotional Manipulation: The post employs emotionally charged language, such as "SHAME on those of you" and "outrage mobs," to elicit emotional responses from the reader. These phrases are designed to invoke feelings of guilt or empathy, further advancing the victim narrative.

Horton’s post utilizes a combination of tactics, such as denial, blame-shifting, victim-playing, historical comparisons, justification, political appeals, and emotional language, to obfuscate the core issue and manipulate the reader's perception. The specifics of the situation are essential for a more comprehensive analysis, but these traits collectively paint a picture of excuse-making and deflecting responsibility for the meeting with Nick Fuentes.

Horton's Hyperbole

Horton's tacit approval of Defend Texas Liberty forging alliances with or endeavoring to rationalize partnerships with individuals or groups entwined with the heinous ideology of Nazism transcends the bounds of wrongness; it stands as a reprehensible act for the following reasons:

1. Moral and Ethical Precipice: Nazism stands as an indelible scar on the conscience of humanity, responsible for the Holocaust's unspeakable horrors and the anguish of countless innocent souls. Any dalliance with Nazis or attempts to legitimize such affiliations represent nothing less than a betrayal of the very moral and ethical principles that uphold the sanctity of human life, champion tolerance, and vehemently reject the tenets of hate ideologies.

2. Historical Impertinence: Collaborating with Nazis is intrinsically linked to the perpetration of abhorrent atrocities and crimes against humanity. To attempt to downplay or justify such affiliations is a grotesque dismissal of the historical reckoning that remains essential to prevent the recurrence of such grievous transgressions.

3. Evasion of Accountability: Holding individuals culpable for their actions, especially when they extend their hand in partnership with hate groups, represents a cornerstone of maintaining societal norms and standards. A failure to do so insidiously insinuates the acceptability of these actions, thus facilitating the normalization of hate and discrimination.

4. Societal and Political Implications: Collaboration with Nazis or their extremist ilk sets in motion an inexorable cascade of consequences that reverberate throughout society. It ignites the flames of hatred and division, corroding the very fabric of social cohesion, sowing seeds of distrust, and fueling the perpetuation of extremist ideologies.

5. Erosion of Trust and Credibility: Those who either engage in or rationalize connections with extremist groups imperil their trustworthiness and credibility, both in the eyes of the public and within their personal, professional, and social spheres. Exposure of such affiliations can culminate in a profound erosion of faith and confidence in their character.

6. Not a Gavel for Cancel Culture: While the term "cancel culture" is frequently invoked to describe scenarios where individuals face accountability for their actions, it is imperative to distinguish between legitimate accountability and the misguided fervor of mob mentality. Holding individuals responsible for their collaborations with hate groups is not tantamount to endorsing "cancel culture." Instead, it underscores the unwavering commitment to upholding societal values and norms that reject hatred in all its insidious forms.

Collaborating with Nazis or the justification of such alliances is indefensible due to its moral, ethical, historical, and societal ramifications. This stance underscores the compelling necessity to foster understanding, tolerance, and accountability, all while imbibing the lessons of history to avert the reiteration of hate-based ideologies and the atrocities they perpetrate.

Comparisons to the French Revolution are absurd

The endeavor to draw parallels between contemporary issues, such as the contentious discussions surrounding collaboration with hate groups, and the tumultuous canvas of the French Revolution is a pursuit marked by either deliberate audacity or unforgivable ignorance. This assertion gains its formidable strength from a multitude of compelling reasons:

1. Historical and Contextual Abyss: The French Revolution, an epochal whirlwind that unfurled at the close of the 18th century, was a multifaceted tapestry intricately woven with specific historical, political, and social threads. To recklessly juxtapose it with present-day dilemmas is to commit an act of intellectual irresponsibility, a failure to acknowledge the rich tapestry of circumstances that catalyzed that era.

2. Chasm of Magnitude: The French Revolution was a cataclysm of political and societal transformation, characterized by the shattering of monarchies, the horrors of the Reign of Terror, and the ascendancy of radical political movements. The issues of today, though undoubtedly significant, seldom ascend to the monumental scale of such seismic shifts.

3. Divergent Concerns: At the core of the French Revolution pulsated fervent quests for political reform, economic equity, and social parity—issues distinct from the modern discourse concerning collaboration with hate groups. To equate these profoundly disparate concerns is to tread perilous ground, a misstep that risks obfuscating the true essence of contemporary debates.

4. Abyss of Exaggeration: To bridge the historical abyss between relatively minor or contemporary disputes and an event as intricate and dramatic as the French Revolution is an act of hyperbolic grandeur, bordering on the preposterous. This act, by its very nature, threatens to belittle the gravitas of the historical event itself.

5. A Lamentable Void of Historical Understanding: The art of drawing historical comparisons, when wielded without a profound understanding of the context and the invaluable lessons of history, invites only misunderstanding and distortion. Ignorance in this regard fosters inaccuracies and misjudgments of egregious magnitude.

The scrutiny of historical comparisons necessitates the utmost care, entailing a rigorous appreciation of the intricate historical tapestry and the subtleties that imbue it. Without such depth, the endeavor to liken modern issues to the monumental canvas of the French Revolution is rendered an absurdity of the highest order, a stark testament to either deliberate audacity or staggering ignorance.

The Enterprise Pattern Remains The Same

Notably, the theme of their strategy remains very similar to what they've attempted in the past to cover-up Bryan Slaton's sexual assault of a teenage legislative staffer, and the impeachment of Ken Paxton:

From Bryan Slaton Thought He Could Survive:

Here's the template:

• Step 1: Unearth evidence to substantiate other alleged affairs, with most talk suggesting that these affairs involve two members.
• Step 2: Disclose the information to media outlets that are supportive of the cause, allowing them to expose the misconduct.
• Sept 3: Demand an investigation and/or expulsion of those members, by conflating their actions to Representative Slaton having sex with a teenager.
• Step 4: In the event that the House fails to expel Slaton, falsely accuse the Speaker of hypocrisy. Assert that Slaton was only expelled because he was one of the few "true conservatives" in the legislature.

From Bryan Slaton's AirBnB Meeting:

Stickland consistently uses manipulative tactics, taken from the playbook devised at the Airbnb meeting, to falsely equate the voluntary consumption of alcohol by adults with Slaton's act of getting a teenager drunk to engage in sexual activity.

This transparent ploy not only downplays Slaton's deeply troubling behavior, but also undermines the seriousness of the situation.

By employing such manipulative tactics, Stickland not only ignores the severity of Slaton's reprehensible actions, but also perpetuates a dangerous narrative that undermines the importance of holding individuals accountable for their despicable behavior.

These manipulative maneuvers reveal Stickland's lack of integrity and a disrespectful attitude towards the victims profoundly affected by Slaton's unforgivable actions.

From The Relentless Dishonesty Continues:

Cheshire outright rejected the information brought to light by Scorecard Confessions, labeling it as "false". This dismissive attitude towards any revelation of unethical, immoral, or illegal behavior has become a recurring pattern among these organization and their allies over the years.

This type of boldface dishonesty, as seen in the case of Texas Scorecard and its alliance with Bryan Slaton, is unfortunately all too common. The undeniable connection between Texas Scorecard, Republican Party of Texas, Pale Horse Strategies, and Slaton highlights a troubling pattern.

Evidence has emerged confirming the occurrence of a meeting at an Airbnb associated with Cary Cheshire, further compounded by the fact that Cheshire's own brother was employed by Slaton during a legislative session.

From The Texas Scorecard Two-Step: Hypocrisy and Hubris:

Throughout this session and others, we have observed a familiar sequence of behavior exhibited by figures such as Michael Quinn Sullivan, Jonathan Stickland, and their axis of allies when it comes to safeguarding Bryan Slaton. Whenever Slaton faced examination or repercussions for his actions, these individuals swiftly came to his aid, employing strategies designed to redirect focus and undermine the credibility of those responsible for holding him answerable.

Their approach involved launching relentless assaults against anyone who dared to question or critique Slaton, resorting to personal denigration, unfounded allegations, and the dissemination of misinformation. Their objective was to construct a narrative that portrayed Slaton as a victim of political persecution rather than someone who should be held liable for his deeds.

From Deceptive Criticism: Ken Paxton's Impeachment Illusions:

Thus, Tinderholt unveiled the disingenuous nature of The Enterprise's criticisms and unmasked their deceptive agenda. Only through a fair analysis can we determine the rationality of the criticism directed towards the General Investigating Committee and safeguard ourselves against their manipulative tactics. It is imperative to recognize that The Enterprise, driven by their vested interests, manipulates public opinion to serve their own agenda. They appear to exploit their financial influence over elected officials, relying on one of their financed House representatives to raise issues that were previously absent from the discourse during the proceedings to expel Bryan Slaton.

Their aim is to sow doubt, create confusion, and ultimately undermine the integrity of the impeachment process, as Scorecard Confessions has previously revealed.

From The Deception of Michael Quinn Sullivan:

The recurring pattern of dishonesty and deceit perpetrated by The Enterprise, through its publication Texas Scorecard, demands our attention and scrutiny. Through a series of articles, their true intentions have come to light, revealing a deliberate campaign of misinformation and manipulation.

This brazen display of dishonesty exposes their ploy to exploit their audience's vulnerability to critical thinking and rationality. By masquerading false information as credible reporting, Texas Scorecard and The Enterprise betray the very individuals they purport to champion.

In the face of mounting evidence, it becomes abundantly clear that The Enterprise, with their publication Texas Scorecard, operates within a realm of deceit and manipulation. While proudly proclaiming moral superiority and an unwavering dedication to their cause, they craft a web of lies that ensnares their network of followers, leaving them trapped in a distorted reality.

The audacity of their actions is truly sinister. They prey upon the trust and vulnerability of their audience, exploiting their genuine desire for truth and justice. They exploit their followers' loyalty, luring them into a labyrinth of misinformation where moral superiority masks a dangerous game of manipulation.

Even with a poorly concocted façade, The Enterprise presents themselves as champions of the people, claiming to fight for justice and accountability. Yet, behind closed doors, they orchestrate a symphony of deceit, pulling the strings to further their own agenda. They wrap themselves in a cloak of righteousness, all the while weaving a tangled web of half-truths and fabrications to suit their narrative.

The Enterprise's network of deception runs deep, with Texas Scorecard serving as one of their trusted mouthpieces. Through this platform, they disseminate their twisted version of reality, perpetuating a cycle of confusion and disinformation. They exploit the trust placed in them by their followers, using it as a weapon to control and manipulate, all while proclaiming themselves as beacons of righteousness.

From The Perfidious Polling of Texas Scorecard's Axis of Allies:

CWS Research's consistent omission of a clear methodology and the deliberate exclusion of crosstabs indicate a calculated effort by Texas Scorecard's Axis of Allies to exploit an audience that they believe will not question their practices. By withholding vital information and employing manipulative techniques, they create an illusion of credibility and truthfulness, relying on their audience's inherent trust in their messaging.

This calculated approach assumes that their audience will not think critically or seek additional sources of information to verify the validity of their polling. Texas Scorecard's Axis of Allies capitalizes on this presumed trust, aiming to shape public opinion without being held accountable for their biased practices. They operate under the assumption that their audience will uncritically accept their narratives, allowing them to advance their own agenda and maintain control over the discourse.

By perpetuating this recurring theme of exploiting an unquestioning audience, Texas Scorecard's Axis of Allies undermines the principles of democratic participation and informed decision-making. Instead of fostering an environment of critical thinking and open dialogue, they seek to manipulate their audience's perception of reality.

From Influenceable Tries To Conceal Connections Amid Mounting Allegations:

In the age of digital dominance, where information flows ceaselessly through our screens and social media platforms, the power of persuasion has never been more potent. Yet, what happens when this power is wielded behind the scenes, in the shadows of digital corridors? Recent revelations surrounding Influenceable and its alleged ties to Texas Scorecard's Axis of Allies paint a chilling picture of orchestrated campaigns, concealed connections, and a deliberate manipulation of public opinion.

From Ken Paxton Eyes 2026 US Senate Run Against John Cornyn:

As previously discussed in a Scorecard Confessions report June 15, a noteworthy trend is apparent: Texas Scorecard’s Axis of Allies often mirror the actions of others to attempt to justify their unethical behavior.

Several instances exemplify this trend:

• Drawing parallels between Ken Paxton's impeachment and former President Donald Trump's indictments.
• Establishing a less sophisticated version of Cambridge Analytica called Influenceable to manipulate the perception of voters.
• Crafting their version of the CNN documentary "Deep In The Pockets of Texas" as "The Heist," laden with conspiracy theories, to mimic the original's factual content.
• Using insinuation to malign Texas House members while ignoring the Axis of Allies' own significant financial support for expelled members involved in misconduct in addition to Ken Paxton.

From From Politics to Paranoia: The Far-Right and Ken Paxton's Impeachment Trial:

It appears that the change in strategy was prompted by the anticipation that Maxwell's testimony could deal significant, perhaps irreparable, damage to Paxton's defense, a perspective shared by observers like Loewy and Cofer.

In keeping with their pattern, the Texas Scorecard Axis of Allies seems to be privately acknowledging the possibility of Paxton's conviction and removal from office. Consequently, they are now laying the groundwork for a conspiracy theory that they can promote within their echo chamber as the trial progresses into its second week:

"Theory: George P. Bush, TLR, the FBI, and Senators who voted to convict Paxton were colluding with the Texas House to oust Ken Paxton. This was not due to his alleged corruption as a public official but because he was investigating an undefined and highly provocative issue. This alleged conspiracy is believed to be the reason behind Deputy AGs signing letters on official letterhead without Ken Paxton's name on them."

From Alternate Reality: Ken Paxton and the Far-Right's Unending Deception:

Firstly, there is a blatant misrepresentation of the impeachment process in Texas. Impeachment, according to the Texas Constitution, does not require the commission of a crime. Instead, it is a political process, and grounds for impeachment extend beyond criminal conduct. This misrepresentation raises questions about their commitment to accuracy and transparency.

Furthermore, the attempt to portray Ken Paxton's impeachment as unjust is contradicted by the ethical and legal concerns surrounding his actions, as well as the involvement of multiple state attorneys general in investigating Google, a point that is conspicuously omitted by the Axis of Allies. This includes Texas Scorecard's Axis of Allies position in favor of a false theory overwhelmingly rejected by the Texas Senate, known as the forgiveness doctrine.

The ongoing saga involving Defend Texas Liberty's interactions with individuals linked to hate groups, like Nick Fuentes, has taken a disconcerting turn with the emergence of orchestrated messaging strategies. The Enterprise, known for its pattern of manipulating public perception, employs tactics that downplay their troubling associations and shift accountability away from their actions.

The similarities between this situation and past attempts to defend their allies, such as Bryan Slaton and Ken Paxton, cannot be ignored. The pattern includes tactics like historical comparisons, emotional manipulation, and a constant effort to construct victim narratives. These tactics, while transparent to those who scrutinize them closely, aim to divert attention from the underlying issues at hand.

Collaboration with hate groups, as in the case of Nick Fuentes, remains indefensible on moral, ethical, historical, and societal grounds. The attempts to justify such affiliations and comparisons to events like the French Revolution are either audacious or ignorant.

This ongoing narrative raises concerns about transparency, accountability, and the influence of The Enterprise and its network of allies. It is essential for the public to remain vigilant and informed in the face of orchestrated attempts to manipulate perception and subvert accountability.

In the end, the need for truth, accountability, and transparency remains paramount. As the saga unfolds, it is imperative that individuals seek the facts, critically assess information, and hold those who waver from ethical standards accountable for their actions. The public's trust, moral values, and societal norms must not be compromised in the face of orchestrated messaging strategies and deceitful tactics.
