Some guy with a brain, or not (edit: not a swipe, just saying our frog brain_dead made the post, that's all. HT to brain_dead, a prolific and valued poster), posted a recent Laura Loomer Tweet that targets Leonard Leo, the Teneo organization, and its members, who, she asserts, are controlling Trump appointees inside the Trump Administration.

When looking up about Teneo, and Leonard Leo, and the Trump Truth that lambasted Leo (https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114593880455063168), something caught my eye (from Grok):

Additionally, former President Donald Trump publicly criticized Leo in May 2025, calling him a “sleazebag” and distancing himself from the Federalist Society, despite their prior alliance.

Which 'former ally' else did DJT recently create distance with? Musk.

Trump is THE master of irregular warfare, narrative warfare. It's worth questioning whether his public lambasting of Leo on Truth is what it seems on the surface. Or does it serve some other purpose?

So, I decided to approach the Laura Loomer tweet from the position of it potentially being a deployment (aka seeking to infloooence (or direct, or nudge) people towards a certain calculated direction) in the context of irregular (narrative) warfare. The following is what I saw.

Note 1: It should be noted that I took a generally negative view of Loomer's 'deployment' and started from there. Someone could also do the same from a positive or supportive perspective, and it would be interdasting (imo) to compare the two. But for now, the, er, 'critical' take on the tweet.

Note 2: The source that Loomer cites and promotes appears to be well-establish trio of anti-Trump, Neo-Marxist & Globalist propaganda agents. See Further Investigation at end.

Note 3: In the following, "thrust" means the push or force the narrative tactic is intended to inject.

(Cursory) Narrative Analysis

A few nice standout markers in the Loomer deployment:

• Building the narrative: Suspicion. e.g. Gaiser is a member of Teneo, a fact 'disclosed' by the congressional hearing on his nomination. (Thrust: something nefarious is happening with Teneo.) "Teneo Operatives" (Thrust: Teneo is a (corrupt) intel operation.)

• Building the narrative: Sew doubt. e.g. Teneo has exercised substantial control over President Trump's appointees. (Thrust: Trump is not in control.) e.g. "why is the PPO allowing someone ..... to control the President’s legal agenda?" (Thrust: Trump is not in control. Someone else is in control.)

• Building the narrative: Generate impression of conflict, inspire attacks. e.g. "more examples of Teneo members ... who will allow for Leonard Leo to have a nexus of influence against the wishes of President Trump" (Thrust: the following Teneo members are evil and should be distrusted.)

• Shaping the narrative/Hijack the narrative: e.g. Put words in Trump's mouth: "The President’s message is clear: No more appointees who are or ever were members of Teneo." (Thrust: THIS is the true story. THIS is what Trump wants.)

• Directing the narrative: Activate target audience to action. e.g. "If you are aware of anymore Teneo operatives who are doing Leonard Leo’s bidding, let me know..." (Thrust: Taking Action in THIS direction is patriotic, and good.)

(embedded supposition: above cited examples (sew doubt, generate impression of conflict) of members of Teneo are operatives who are doing Leo's bidding)

• Polish up the Narrative, Close: tag in emotional cues, triggers. e.g. we can protect President Trump from internal sabotage... (Thrust: inspire deep motives, protection is a powerful emotional drive)

Considerations

The above is a very superficial look at the narrative thrust of Loomer's deployment (her tweet). I give some examples of impact-ful wording and assertions etc, that help to form the narrative power of the deployment, but these are only a few examples. A more thorough textual analysis would reveal a LOT more examples of how these various "thrusts" are built on and developed throughout the entire text.

Also, Loomer cites directly as HER source, the article by Andy Kroll and Andrea Bernstein, ProPublica, and Nick Surgey, Documented: "Inside the “Private and Confidential” Conservative Group That Promises to “Crush Liberal Dominance” " (https://www.propublica.org/article/leonard-leo-teneo-videos-documents)

Who are they? Why is she promoting this source, and this articles narrative?

Angle

But it is also important to acknowledge that this analysis starts from a presumption that looks negatively or at least has a negative slant on Loomer. A narrative analysis from a positive perspective might yield different results.

Tactics

That said, hopefully, the above (light) analysis shows how narrative deployments frequently use the same repertoire of narrative tactics and weapons. In this case, the creation of suspicion, creating doubt, conflict, accusation (often without actual evidence), and then mobilizing what are essentially positive emotional forces (like wanting to protect an important or beloved person) but in a direction setup and established by all the previous thrusts.

Thoughts

The fact that Loomer is attacking Teneo so hard, throwing accusation against a variety of nominees etc, in the Trump administration suggests to me that in fact, it's possible that Trump's negative deployment re: Leonard Leo could easily have been a bait to bring out certain narrative actors, to tempt them into showing their cards vis-a-vis certain other elements of the administration.

I mean, its possible. Trump says lots of things, lots of kayfabe, and is always fighting in a 5G war where he uses narratives and other tactics to expose enemies and weaken their position.

Remember: the entire narrative deployment by Loomer is based on a) the criticism that Trump made against Leo in ONE Truth, backed up by Leo's support for a legislative 'attack' on the Trump tariff agenda. But did that legislation also have a purpose, to expose? To highlight certain actual powers that the POTUS has, and by questioning or challenging them, actually reinforce their correctness?

The WHOLE operation is, remember, not about simply following a trusted leader like Trump, but about correcting the system itself, and getting the People to question, ask, check, and be the real sovereigns, instead of simply signing over their sovereignty to the System. Just because Trump is now heading the system, doesn't mean its fixed.

Or, it's possible that Loomer stumbled upon a hidden truth and has now exposed it to the world, thereby advancing the MAGA agenda.

But on the basis of Trump's comments in that Truth, about previously trusting certain organizations etc to make recommendations, I'd think that even if that was true, 8 years ago, Trump certainly knows what he's doing now. And doesn't need Loomer to protect him.

(Apparently, the Federalist Society had no direct role in recommending the actual judge in the Court of International Trade who opposed Trump, which if true, is telling, and seems to support the idea that Trump's tirade against Leo was for narrative effect).

Also: JD Vance is apparently a member of "Teneo" (Latin for "I hold, I keep, I maintain")

Wrap Up

My original main point in this post was not so much to examine whether Loomer is right or wrong, but rather to consider her tweet as an opportunity for looking at it as a potential deployment in the context of narrative war (irregular warfare), and thinking about how and what it might be doing.

A public (person) that thinks for themselves [independent free-thought] is what they FEAR the most [loss of control]. Q4556

However, after taking a closer look, and the sources (ProPublica via 3 neo-marxist globalist 'journalists', NPR) that Loomer directly refers to and amplifies, I find it very hard to give her tweet any benefit of the doubt. These sources are very typical examples of Globalist, Leftist (Neo-Marxist) propaganda organs. Why on earth would a 'conservative' influencer be directly referring to and promoting them?

Further Investigation

Have known members of Teneo ever opposed or disrupted or sabotaged the Trump Agenda?

Read the promoted articles.

What is the back history between Trump and Leonard Leo?

Is or has Leonard Leo been a positive or negative influence on the foundation of or development of MAGA?

Addendum

Andy Kroll, previous reported on topics such as dark money, Christian Nationalism, Project 2025. Previously Washington Bureau chief for Rolling Stone magazine (Globalist propaganda assert). Wrote a book about 'conspiracy theories' surrounding Seth Rick's murder. (Promoted by a hard Globalist Marxist propaganda source Mother Jones as a "Book we needed in 2022") etc.

Andrea Bernstein, basically a very negative anti-Trump 'journalist', reporting on things like 'misuse of classified information by former President Trump.

Nick Surgey, "Surgey’s contributions have been critical to stories about dark money, Christian nationalism, and efforts to influence elections."
