Former Washington state Rep. Matt Shea, the far-right Republican who was found by a House-commissioned investigation to have planned and participated in domestic terrorism, is in a small town in Poland with more than 60 Ukrainian children, trying to facilitate their adoption in America.
Shea has said his group helped rescue 62 children and their two adult caregivers from an orphanage in Mariupol, the city in southeastern Ukraine that has been bombarded by Russian forces.
But international agencies say, with the chaos and confusion of war, now is not an appropriate time for international adoptions from Ukraine. And Sheas presence, and the lack of information surrounding the American group hes with, has raised concerns among some residents of Kazimierz Dolny, the small Polish town where the children are staying at a hotel-guesthouse.
I asked him many times, What are you going to do with these children? and he told me that its not my business,' Weronika Ziarnicka, an aide to the mayor of Kazimierz Dolny, said of Shea. I got the feeling in my gut that somethings wrong with this guy; he didnt want to tell me his last name.

It is the same thing with the anti LGBTQ movement. A tonne of self-loathing, in the closet (and often get caught and exposed) queer folk fall in with those shitehawks.

This story is chilling. How does he get to the place where he is actually in Poland trying to get 60 children to the USA?

(49 posts)In October 2018, Shea acknowledged that he had distributed a four page manifesto which called for the killing of non-Christian males if a war were to occur and they do not agree to follow fundamentalist biblical law.
Shea was referred to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for investigation as a result. In April 2019, Shea was removed as State House Republican Caucus Chair for advocating violence against religious minorities and offering state surveillance of political enemies to members of hate groups.
It only gets worse, the more you read about him. I, unfortunately, met him. Bat shit crazy.

(10,500 posts)I have serious doubts if these kids are all truly confirmed as orphans. Many of them may be separated from their families by the chaos of war. But there are people in this country who scour the world looking for children they can portray as in need of adoption.
