Here are these organizations and front groups listed, as well as their principals. The protest demands are typical Kremlin fare.”, January 27, 2023 (thread) (pdf)

• Joshua Reed Eakle, “[I believe that @LPNational’s upcoming @RageAgainstWar_ rally is more of a pro-Russia rally than an anti-war rally. The Libertarian Party’s involvement creates a huge hazard for the party and undermines the entire anti-war movement. Here’s a thread on why I believe this. 🧵]”, February 4, 2023

  • “I received information from someone close to Antiwar.com that told me suggested speakers were turned down, however, in speaking directly with Eric Garris, Director of Antiwar.com, he stated that he had not spoken with anyone involved with organizing the primary rally in Washington, D.C., but is involved in setting up a concurrent rally in San Francisco to support the overall rally effort to end this war and is also supportive of Rage Against the War Machine rally in D.C. on February 19th.” [3] (emphasis added)
  • Promote the rally on their website: “Make plans now to get to Washington on February 19. Lend your presence to this potent new coalition of forces ... Let’s do this.” [4]
