#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/

At the Capitol on Jan 6, Warren Gilbert was photographed on the E. Plaza with a group including anti-vaxxer #IamTyBollinger, Bikers for Trump, and Vets for Trump officials #IamTeddyDaniels of PA & #IamAnthonyLamotta (out on bail on federal weapons charges). 4/

#WoodlandNorris is Boone Cutler of Reno, NV, U.S. Army veteran (infantry and “Tactical PsyOp in Iraq”, per his site), former podcaster and radio host (Fox News) on veteran’s affairs. #KleenKutKen is Wade Cutler, an intern in Joey Gilbert’s law firm. 5/

Boone Cutler is involved with Vets for Trump - here he is with co-founders Joshua Macias and Vlad Lemets at the 2019 DC “Faith and Freedom Coalition” conference (selfie from Lemets’ FB with Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA). Next pic is them at the conference dinner. 6/

Macias was also at the Capitol on Jan 6, with LaMotta; both went to Philly with guns in Nov. to disrupt the vote count. Cutler’s website: “America has become disgusted with the political climate of today so the only place to turn to and trust for leadership is the Warfighter.” 7/

Cutler & Lemets appear in a Vets for Trump promo film with a theme: U.S. should stop fighting wars abroad, come home to fight leftists. Rear Adm. Kubic: “America was spread too thin.” Narrator: “We never imagined that the wars could come to our shores.” 8/

Cutler: “We’re standing for the only candidate..that protects the sovereignty of America” Lemets: U.S. must “..fight an emerged asymmetrical threat on our shores - this requires that we strengthen America’s core.” Lemets himself was born & raised in Russia, enlisted in 2005...9/

..began Vets for Trump 2015. In 2019, the Vietnam Vets of America found the group’s FB page “was run entirely by foreign entities”, “infamous Macedonian trolls” who also ran disinformation campaigns in 2016. Lemets & Macias say they were naive & duped. 10/

VVA began researching disinformation when their identity was stolen and used to post fake news. Read their report to the House Committee on Veteran’s Affairs, “Hijacking our Heroes”. VVA warned of disinformation in 2020 too... 11/

..and tried to reach out to veterans in their #Protect2020 campaign. “This is psychological warfare taken to an extreme, and it impacts our national security.”

So NV perps lead us to the radicalization of vets…
12/

..but NV also warns us about radicalization of local politics. This month NV saw “open warfare..between state & local [GOP] officials over a pro-Trump insurgency involving far-right activists w/ ties to the Proud Boys” (Politico)13/

NV might be a roadmap of the future: Jan 6 perps are seeking office in 4 swing states where they would have authority over elections..
NV: Gilbert (Gov, pot.)
PA: Mastriano (Gov), Daniels (U.S. Congress)
AZ: Finchem (Sec. of State)
MI: Kelley (Gov)
14/

How can we stop that? By making sure that Jan 6 is fully prosecuted … all the way to the top.
Tagging up the “Seditious 5” swing-staters:
#IamJoeyGilbert (#PurpleMeathead)
#IamDougMastriano
#IamTeddyDaniels
#IamMarkFinchem
#IamRyanDKelley
There may still be more. 15/

This research is a collaborative effort! @BitsButterfly flagged the crew; research & vetting by many, incl. @jakobravner, @Rebecca41493873, @PotrzebieSystem, @AuntBeethe1st, @AlHunt08657198, @AntiFashReno; video by @CoryCullington & @StevieG54099097 16/

Finally, doxxing people is never done lightly. Naming a Capitol #SeditionVIP happens only after screening by a team to verify identity, location, and importance, & vetting the resulting thread. But when perps touch on national politics, it’s important to tell their stories. 17/
