Some #SeditionHunters reassurances: 1) the effort can go on even if Twitter fails 2) a report on the physical Jan 6 attack will be written even if the J6C doesn't.

Review of progress & resources: sync video is now timed to 1s on both sides of the Capitol (L: East, R: West)..1/

..letting us see how the Capitol attack was paced. In Tweet 1 video, the #BigMediaTowerFlag is dipped on the W just as Alex Jones climbs the E steps.

@StevieG54099097's amazing syncs are all +/- 1 s other than the NE breach, which lags by 13-39 s. 2/

Release of security cam has let us build syncs over 3 hours long on both East and West sides of the Capitol. The channel also has some short highlighted clips showing the 'little signals' that mark the breaches. 3/

Maps and timelines of the Capitol attack are at bit.ly/Jan6Analysis. The attack is broken down into phases; each is described and has its own map showing major movements and breaches. 4/

The stages of the attack are described in the "Phases" timeline, see docs.google.com/document/d/1jx…. Phases were defined in Oct. 2021 and the framework has held up. (Only 1 real change: the end of Phase 4 was moved back 7 minutes to 2:48 PM when we learned of one additional breach.) 5/

The "Timelines" folder holds multiple timeline versions that describe the attack. Some have clickable video links (L). The "Big Timeline" (R) has the most detailed accounting of events on Jan 6, including the movements of the major influencers. 6/

The #SeditionHunters video archiving effort, led by @justhelpingout6, is now over 41,000 items (>5 TB), w/
4,888 Facebook accounts
1,476 Twitter
1,367 YouTube
882 Tiktok
636 Instagram
146 Rumble
+ Gab, Gettr, Telegram, Periscope, Snapchat, BitChute, Odysee, Twitch, DLive, etc..7/

All video is publicly available on archive.org. The easiest way to start is through Jan6evidence.com: you can search ~3000 videos by time, location, and hashtag. For example, anyone searching for Ray Epps (#BigMagaCamo) can quickly find 30 sightings... 8/

The visualizer is no longer updated so some links are dead, but you can find all 41,000+ archived Jan 6 media items through the amazing media sheet (h/t the Jan6evidence team). No hashtag match but you can search by title, video ID, account, etc. 9/

The media list doesn't include Parler videos, but those with location and timestamps are available on the ProPublica website, and others are hand-annotated with time, location, and suspect hashtags on jan6attack.com/videos.htm 10/

Of the ~15K invaders at the Capitol, over 1000 are fully hashtagged & over 3000 numbered. jan6attack.com/individuals.ht… allows search by hashtag, appearance, or affiliation; click for more photos, videos, & descriptions. Below are some of the over 250 Proud Boys at the Capitol. 11/

A full set of tags, including all 3000+ numbered "insiders" who entered the Capitol, is at seditionhunters.org/perpsheet/. This site is less searchable but more complete. 12/

For arrested suspects, you can find all court documents, as well as photos and description, at seditiontracker.com, built by @seditiontrack. 13/

The 'Agency Response Timeline', in the bit.ly/Jan6Analysis "Timelines" folder, compares all reports by responding law enforcement agencies to known events, showing their discrepancies. It also provides a compact graph that captures the attack. 14/

This is only a partial list of the open-access resources that have been assembled. All are listed and linked in the Jan6Analysis "Resources" document. Downloading this document will give you a reference guide to use in the event that Twitter goes down. 15/

Losing Twitter would be painful, as it holds nearly 2 years of work by the #SeditionHunters community - contributions by hundreds of volunteers who used Twitter as a shareable 'notebook'. But it's not fatal and the work of synthesizing what's been learned is well underway. 16/
