Leonard Leo
Leonard Leo (full name: Leonard Anthony Leo) is an American lawyer, businessman, and influential conservative legal activist. Born in November 1965 in Northport, New York (Long Island), he grew up in New Jersey after his father (a pastry chef) died when Leo was a toddler.
He is a devout Roman Catholic and is widely regarded as a key architect of the current conservative majority on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Education and Early Career
Leo earned his undergraduate and law degrees from Cornell University. While at Cornell Law School, he founded a student chapter of the Federalist Society in 1989 (an organization of conservative and libertarian lawyers and students that promotes originalism and limited government).
He began working full-time for the Federalist Society in Washington, D.C., in 1991.
fedsoc.org
Role at the Federalist SocietyHe served as executive vice president for over 25 years (helping grow the group to tens of thousands of members) and remains co-chairman of its board of directors (alongside Steven Calabresi).
He took leaves to assist with judicial confirmations and has been central to the society's influence on Republican judicial nominations.

Influence on the Supreme Court
Leo played a major behind-the-scenes role in vetting and supporting conservative Supreme Court nominees:
Under President George W. Bush: Organized outside support for John Roberts and Samuel Alito;
earlier helped with Clarence Thomas
(whom he befriended as a law clerk).
Under President Donald Trump: Advised on the shortlist and helped secure the confirmations of Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett.
This contributed to the 6-3 conservative supermajority on the Court, which has issued landmark rulings (including overturning Roe v. Wade).

He also served in the Bush administration aschairman of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom and as a U.S. delegate to UN human rights bodies.

Current Activities and Businesses
In 2020, Leo stepped back from day-to-day operations at the Federalist Society to focus on broader conservative efforts.
He chairs:
CRC Advisors (a for-profit conservative political consulting and public affairs firm).
Marble Freedom Trust
(a major dark-money nonprofit that received a record $1.6 billion donation from businessman Barre Seid in 2021).
His network has funneled hundreds of millions into judicial, cultural, and political causes, and his firms have received tens of millions in payments from affiliatednonprofits.

Leo is married to Sally (his high school sweetheart). They have seven children (one daughter, Margaret, passed away in 2007 at age 14 from complications of spina bifida).
The family has lived in Northern Virginia and maintains a home in Maine.

Recent Context
As of 2025, Leo remains a central figure in conservative legal and political circles, though he has had public friction with Trump (who criticized him and the Federalist Society over certain court rulings blocking parts of the agenda, calling Leo a "sleazebag").
politico.com
He is praised by conservatives for advancing originalist jurisprudence and limited government, and criticized by opponents for his use of dark money and influence on the judiciary.
Overall, he is one of the most consequential (if low-profile) figures in reshaping the American legal system over the past three decades.

The most "conspiracy theory"-oriented article on Leonard Anthony Leo and his dark money connections is the September 28, 2024, Rolling Stone piece titled "Opus Dei and the Moneybags Kid, Leonard Leo" by Gareth Gore
Maybe he's responsible for Cunty and Roberts "Knight of Malta" fraud?
Best article on his slezyness is Rolling Stone piece titled "Opus Dei and the Moneybags Kid, Leonard Leo" by Gareth Gore.

An excerpt from Gore’s book OPUS: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy inside the Catholic Church (Simon & Schuster, 2024).
The article (and book) goes far beyond standard investigative reporting on dark money (like ProPublica’s factual exposés on the $1.6 billion Marble Freedom Trust donation). Instead, it frames Leo’s activities as part of a secretive, cult-likeCatholic conspiracy involving Opus Dei—a “radical organization on the fringes of the Catholic Church” accused of “serious abuses” and dedicated to the “complete ‘re-Christianization’ of the world.”
It portrays Leo (repeatedly called the “Supreme Court puppetmaster” and “kingmaker”) as bridging Opus Dei with “important people on Capitol Hill” and the “world of dark money populated by secretive billionaires.” Together they form a “coalition—unified by their political connections, religious fervor, and money—that would reshape American society and destroy many hard-won civil rights.”
Heavy use of “hidden ecosystem,” “cabal of wealthy conservative patrons,” “secretive billionaires,” and Opus Dei’s “penetration of Washington’s political and judicial worlds.” It alleges Leo and Opus Dei-linked figures (like the Corkerys) funneled “almost $600 million of dark money” to right-wing causes, enabling a “conservative takeover of the Supreme Court” on issues like abortion and affirmative action.
Ties Leo’s Federalist Society role, CRC Advisors payments, and the Barre Seid/Marble Freedom Trust billions directly to an alleged Opus Dei-driven plot for judicial and cultural control. The book title alone invokes “cult,” “human trafficking,” and “right-wing conspiracy,” which is classic conspiracy-theory territory (think Dan Brown-style secret society influence on the highest levels of power).
Others:
Mother Jones’ “There Is a Deep State…on the Right” (David Corn, Oct. 2023) calls Leo the “right’s puppet master,” “grand wizard,” and controller of a “clandestine network”/“vast right-wing conspiracy” that is the real Deep State.

Anybody hear of Daniel O'Connell?
the "Liberator"
He was born in August 1775 — right as the war was starting — and was only a small child (ages 1–8) during the entire conflict (1775–1783)
In his speeches (especially when arguing for Irish rights and Catholic emancipation), O’Connell often pointed to America’s successful revolt as proof that Britain could be forced to grant liberties when faced with determined opposition. He described how England’s “strength and insolence oppressed America,” how America “revolted, flew to arms, conquered, and established her independence and her liberty,” and how the loss of the colonies weakened Britain and opened the door for reforms back home. He saw the American victory as a powerful precedent for Ireland’s own struggle against British rule.
He was a lifelong champion of liberty in every form and frequently invoked the ideals of the Declaration of Independence and the American fight for freedom when campaigning for repeal of the Union with Britain and for broader human rights.
Daniel O’Connell was not alive when slavery was abolished in the United States. He died on 15 May 1847.
He was alive when slavery was abolished in the British Empire.
But not alive when abolished in America?

nope. not supposed to be
The man in the middle (third from the left and third from the right in the front row) is supposed to be Wilhelm Frick, but fails to resemble him, to me.
Josef Bürckel (also spelled Joseph Bürckel), the Nazi Reichskommissar (Reich Commissioner) for the Reunification of the Saarland is to his right
This is a well-documented 1935 black-and-white photo (date uncertain in some archives but tied to events around March 1, 1935) taken inside Saarbrücken City Hall (Rathaus) during the official ceremony marking the Saarland’s reincorporation into Nazi Germany after a plebiscite. The group is performing the Nazi salute (“German greeting” or Hitlergruß).
Bishop Franz Rudolf Bornewasser (Bishop of Trier, in clerical robes with pectoral cross).
Bishop Ludwig Sebastian (Bishop of Speyer, in clerical robes with pectoral cross).
Josef Bürckel (Reichskommissar for the Saar reunification; the center figure in plainer/dark attire with a belt).
Wilhelm Frick (Reich Minister of the Interior, second from right, in Nazi uniform).
Joseph Goebbels (Reich Minister of Propaganda, far right, in uniform).
So it is said.

They were right at the curb of a busy intersection when Bill appeared to nudge (or stumble into) Hillary toward the crosswalk while traffic was still moving. She quickly stepped back onto the curb, raised her hands, and said, “No, no, no, no, no. Don’t do that.” Bill smiled and replied something like “That’s not a good idea,” and they waited for the light.
supposed to be because FIFA is in town for that date?
Anybody remember the Octopus Paul famous for predicting the outcome of the FIFA 2010?
Paul the Octopus (also known as Paul der Krake).
en.wikipedia.org
He was a common octopus living in the Sea Life Aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany, who became famous as a "psychic" oracle during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. His handlers had him predict match outcomes by choosing between two boxes, each marked with one team's flag (or national emblem). Whichever box he opened and ate from first was his predicted winner.
en.wikipedia.org
Paul correctly predicted all seven of Germany’s matches in the 2010 tournament (including wins over Australia, England, Argentina, and the third-place match against Uruguay), plus some earlier Euro 2008 games. This gave him a near-perfect record for Germany’s games, turning him into an international celebrity (and even earning him death threats from some frustrated fans when he predicted Spain would beat Germany in the semi-final).
