LOL WUUUT? ThinkProgress well and TRULY jumped the shark with their latest conspiracy about Russian infiltration

ThinkProgress has jumped the shark.

We know, you knew that already.

But this time … wow.

Apparently, Russians are infiltrating our country through homeschooling now.

Don’t make that face, we didn’t write it.

NEW: Meet the latest front in Russian infiltration among the American far-right—America's right-wing homeschooling movement. https://t.co/oZXuXdQqH6 pic.twitter.com/Hy1dO4QxKv

From ThinkProgress (sorry!):

The group and its origins sound innocuous enough. But the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) — a right-wing group founded 36 years ago — has deepened connections between America’s religious right and Russians even as the latter have been sanctioned by the United States, according to a ThinkProgress investigation.

This sounds like an episode of Archer, but not funny.

By networking with Russians, the HSLDA — now America’s largest right-wing homeschooling association — has provided the Kremlin with a new avenue of influence over some of the most conservative organizations in the United States.

Alrighty then.

Oh, and there’s a thread with this:

The ties between sanctioned Russian officials and America's largest right-wing homeschool group (HSLDA) date to at least 2014, when the HSLDA spoke at the controversial 2014 "family planning" conference in Russia. https://t.co/oZXuXdQqH6 pic.twitter.com/hKXfSKT3BJ

RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA.

Fast-forward to 2018, when the HSLDA decides to co-sponsor the most substantial international homeschooling conference—this time, in Russia. https://t.co/paPXRBvEhz

It’s a PLOT.

Another co-sponsor? A group run by the sanctioned Konstantin Malofeev, "God's oligarch" himself.

Among the featured speakers? Yelena Mizulina, who's been sanctioned by the U.S. for five years and counting. https://t.co/oZXuXdQqH6 pic.twitter.com/vHyN2gGLyn

So for those keeping track, we now have (sanctioned) Russian efforts at building bridges with American right-wing movements that include:

1. White supremacists
2. Christian fundamentalists
3. Secession movements
4. The @NRA
5. The Trump campaign
6. Homeschooling advocates pic.twitter.com/HIQfDOozsd

For those keeping track.

1. BS
2. BS
3. BS
4. BS
5. BS
6. BS

And we wonder why people are paranoid AF. Holy Hell.

Thinkprogress should be Thinkparanoia.
