1.) The Odal rune (Thor's Hammer) on his abdomen has been adopted by many (often white supremacist) Odenist groups.

2.) The Norse Valknut (three triangles) on his chest has been coopted by US white nationalist groups and was prominent at the deadly 2017 Charlottesville rally. ImageImage
Coincidently the gentleman to his right (Jason Tankersley) is also a Neo-Nazi. Here are a few photos of his myriad looks his tattoos, however are a little less subtle. ImageImageImageImage
Another Nazi participant in this afternoon's cosplay coup d'état can be seen wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" pullover. Image
Another alt-right fascist and Charlottesville keynote speaker Tim Gionet, aka "Baked Alaska," was among those who broke into Capitol offices and streamed himself pilfering though a senate phone directory. ImageImage
Due to the entitlement and lack of basic opsec from those who perpetrated today's hapless coup there is a mountain of multimedia evidence.

As I look at photos of the "zip tie guy" I noticed a few details that may be easy to overlook when your eye is clearly drawn towards the zip ties.

Some of these details may be indicators of where he is from and possible group affiliation. ImageImage
The shirt and pants are notably expensive, and uniquely identifiable. Specifically they are the "combat field shirt" and "stalker pant" made by Kryptek. Both are in the "Typhon" urban camouflage color way. Image
Lightweight combat tops are popular among militia groups because of the velcro adornments on the shoulders, elbows, and chest, that allow them to affix their groups' identifying patches and similar flare.

Is it significant that this individual is not wearing his group's patches?

When we talk about restoration in a post-Trump America it's important to reject instincts to meet your opposition in the middle, especially when your opposition is a fascist one.

However, we should remain compassionate.

Ashli Babbitt's death was tragic.
nbcnews.com/news/us-news/w…
I see a lot of people on here disagree with my sentiment so let me be absolutely clear why I said to show compassion*

To overcome the cancers of Trumpism, Qanon, Neo-Fascism, we must emotionally understand what motivates these people and then work to root out those conditions.
Ashli, like many others who rushed the Capitol were diluted by Qanon content.

There are entire online communities that seek to weaponize people like Ashli Babbitt.

There are discord boards of nihilistic Q-Larpers who trawl YouTube predating on vulnerable or mentally ill people.

Stop whatcha doin',

'cause I'm about to ruin

The image and the style that ya used to Image
Tracked-out and expanded San Serifs atop a field of wavy lines...

—an homage to the title sequence for the docudrama 'Worm Wood' wherein in 1953 the CIA drugs and kills Frank Olson one of their top scientists?

#designtwitter who wants to tell them? Image
Also, @grillitype are you ok with the CIA using your fonts like this? You have provided typefaces to so many laudable nonprofit campaigns and efforts but to see GT Sectra and GT America Extended used in this manner is a fucking gut punch.

Can someone please explain to my why Devin Nunes is being awarded the Presidential Medial of Freedom?

Similarly incomprehensible, why is Devin Nunes suing Twitter alleging that I am conspiring with a man whom I never heard of (+dozens of others) to stalk and "cyber-attack" him? ImageImage
Nunes and his attorney Stephen Biss repeatedly abuse litigation in pursuit of @DevinCow (a parody cow account) who celebrates their first amendment protections in order to lampoon Nunes online.

@DevinCow doesn't control this account, I don't know who @DevinCow is, full stop. Image
While I'd love to laugh this off I can't help think about the chilling effect actions like Nunes' have on the 1st Amendment.

Moreover, the language of "interstate stalking" and "conspiracy" with people I've never met is eerily similar to the language used in my SHAC7 indictment.

Last year I met with a source to learn more about how the alt-right was financed. What they explained was a shell game wherein Peter Theil would take a meeting and then later Jeff Giesea would work with them to set up an LLC "production company" that would receive Theil capital.
The source described to me how recipients ranging from alt-light "mens right advocate" Mike @Cernovich, to the neo-nazi troll "Weev" benefited from this financial structuring routing money from Peter Theil's "Theil Capital" by way of @jeffgiesea into the specifically formed LLC.
According to the source another bizarre benefactor in Peter Theil's shell game was Trump attorney Alan Dershowitz, who once served as a co-producer of one of Mike @Cernovich's propaganda films. According to the source once again in this case @JeffGiesea cut the checks for Theil.
