Georgia Tech hotel hosting conference by election deniersBy Chris Joyner, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, June 29, 2022
A meeting of activists spreading debunked theories about the 2020 presidential election, vaccine misinformation, and conspiracy theories about supposed global shadow government will take place this holiday weekend in an unexpected place the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology.
The Nations in Action Solutions and Strategy Summit is scheduled to be held in the Georgia Tech Hotel and Conference Center, a midtown hotel run by the Georgia Tech Foundation, the universitys non-profit fundraising arm. Nations in Action, an organization founded by former Georgia lobbyist and Republican activist Maria Zack, bills the conference as an opportunity to learn strategies and tactics to win America back.
Gain the latest intel on election fraud, the shadow government, globalist control, and how COVID has been weaponized against us from the whistleblowers and insiders who know, the group said on its website. Receive training and brainstorm on strategies to restore government and stop bad actors (politicians, parties, media, and government officials).
The speakers are fringe figures, some of whom have espoused antisemitic conspiracies about Jewish control of government and the media or debunked claims about alleged health impacts of 5G cellular technology, among other beliefs.

This Maria Zack loon, by the way, was the founder of a PAC supporting Ted Cruz in 2016 but has since become a full-bore MAGAt and one of the most ardent pushers of the bizarro Italy-hacked-the-voting-machines conspiracy theory. More on that from Wonkette:

Going to start making calls and sharing this with 20 or so graduates I keep loosely in touch with.

I cant believe a state institution is allowed to be even remotely associated with anything like this, even if its only the GT Foundation and at a hotel not quite on campus. Disgusting.

And in doing so, remind us that technology is our friend. There's bound to be something disruptive, yet harmless that can be done to aggravate them.

(18,534 posts)5. I complained by leaving messages with the Ga Tech foundation (not the actual school) who
owns the hotel. I also left messages for the president of the School. I had several college friends do the same. I got no response. A friend got a measly mouth statement from the school.
