Anti-vaxxer Simone Gold, who breached the Capitol on Jan 6, is back in headlines for misusing funds at America's Frontline Doctors. Now sued by Joey Gilbert. Reporters, add context! Joey is #PurpleMeathead, who called Alex Jones up the Capitol steps, then ran for NV governor...1/
Joey Gilbert has been publicly identified as #PurpleMeathead since May 2021. He and Gold were both scheduled to be speak on Jan 6 (same rally as Stewart Rhodes) but climbed the Capitol steps instead. Joey didn't go inside, but he confronted police.. 2/
Here's Joey pulling down barriers. The FBI will surely come for him, now that campaign season is over. (Joey came 2nd in the Republican primary with 28% of the vote). He's is a public figure, and his Capitol activities belong in news stories about him. 3/
#SeditionHunters - BREAKING news, the first Jan 6 arrest of a major political candidate currently running. It's curtains for Michigan gubernatorial candidate #IamRyanDKelley. Charging docs are meticulous - all the known video. FBI is getting it done. 1/

Ryan Kelley is one of many candidates at J6 - bottom center in this collage from last year - but one of the most arrestable since he committed vandalism. First flagged by @MichiganTea a week after the attack; the charging documents show that Tweet. 2/
Here's the mention of @michigantea's work: - page 2 of the charging docs. Never doubt that your contribution cannot move the needle on national scale events. 3/
#SeditionHunters - On Jan 6 nearly 300 Proud Boys were the engine of the Capitol attack. Florida provided their leadership (Tarrio, Biggs) & the largest numbers. NYT describes how those FL Proud Boys have seized power in the Miami-Dade GOP. 1/

At least 7 Proud Boys now sit on the Miami Republican executive committee. Here's one of them, Gilbert Fonticoba, leaving the Capitol to high-five his buddies and tell them: "They hit me with tear gas - with rubber bullets.." Sound up to end. 2/
#SeditionHunters - they had a long run but the FBI train is coming for the #SeditionVIPs. Owen Shroyer of InfoWars arrested today, was with Nick Fuentes at Ellipse, Alex Jones at the Capitol. On Jan 5 said "InfoWars brought a lot of these people here.." 1/
DOJ charging docs use extensive footage: Shroyer stuck to Alex's side at the Capitol, stood by him as he gave his speech on the NW side.. 2/

.. then trekked with Alex across the North Lawn, over the police line on the E. Plaza, and up the East Capitol Steps where Alex gave another speech. Alex closed his remarks 2:23 PM, bugged out & down the stairs just before the first breach of the Columbus Doors at 2:25 PM. 3/
#SeditionHunters have heard a lot about PA & AZ; now it’s time for NV! You may know that Proud Boys just tried to take over the GOP in NV’s largest county. On Jan 6, a suspicious meet-up is tied to Joey Gilbert, potential NV gov, & to Vets for Trump. Hang on for tangled thread 1/
On Jan 6, a group incl. Joey Gilbert (#PurpleMeathead) pushed through police barricades on the E. Plaza, then gathered on the E. steps just before the arrival of Alex Jones & Ali Alexander. We called these 3 #GnarleyParley, #WoodlandNorris, and #KleenKutKen. All are from NV. 2/
#GnarleyParley is Warren Gilbert of Reno, NV, Lt. Col. Marines (ret.), Joey’s dad. Served on NV Homeland Security Commission 2011-2019, advising on “potential acts of terrorism”. Maybe he’s now trying out domestic terrorism from the other side? (At R is III%er Rocky Pastorino) 3/
HASHTAG PREVIEW: #EastSideStripes #GnarleyParley #WoodlandNorris #KleenKutKen
#SeditionHunters, this'll be complicated. These 4 guys conducted a meeting with #MaroonPB on the East Side of the Capitol, in front of cops. Let's call the meeting #J6EastMeet to keep it simple. 1/

NEW HASHTAG: #KleenKutKen
Our first #J6EastMeet guy. Dark business casual. Lanyard. Comms? Definitely a phone in #KleenKutKen's hand, but maybe the antenna belongs to #GnarleyParley. @capitolhunters @TwittsnTweets @SeditionHunters 2/

A little extra background on #KleenKutKen: he and #WoodlandNorris are seen earlier at barricades near #ZZTopPB--he bumps one as he's stacking barricades. (If someone has photos/footage, please add and hashtag.) #SeditionHunters @capitolhunters @TwittsnTweets 3/
