Inside the "Private and Confidential" Conservative Group That Promises to "Crush Liberal Dominance"

https://www.propublica.org/article/leonard-leo-teneo-videos-documents

A few months ago, Leonard Leo laid out his next audacious project.

Ever since the longtime Federalist Society leader helped create a conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court, and then received more than a billion dollars from a wealthy Chicago business owner to disburse to conservative causes, Leo’s next moves had been the subject of speculation.

Now, Leo declared in a slick but private video to potential donors, he planned to “crush liberal dominance” across American life. The country was plagued by “woke-ism” in corporations and education, “one-sided journalism” and “entertainment that’s really corrupting our youth,” said Leo amid snippets of cheery music and shots of sunsets and American flags.

Sitting tucked into a couch, with wire-rimmed glasses and hair gone to gray, Leo conveyed his inspiration and intentions: “I just said to myself, ‘Well, if this can work for law, why can’t it work for lots of other areas of American culture and American life where things are really messed up right now?’”

Leo revealed his latest battle plan in the previously unreported video for the Teneo Network, a little-known group he called “a tremendously important resource for the future of our country.”

Seems quite the opposite.

I used to deal with certain people (not to be named here) who basically
• Wanted it ALL
• Wanted it NOW
• Wanted it FREE, and
• Wanted it handed to them on a SILVER PLATTER

Privilege: "I can never have enough, and damn you for having ANYTHING."
