There are many indications that inside actors played a part in the attack on the Capitol.

Not just rhetoric, but actions that put lives of Members of Congress and Senators at increased risk.

Thread collecting these reports.
1/ Val Demings - "there was some inside assistance"
2/ Ayanna Pressley's Chief of Staff - Staff noticed all of the panic buttons in Pressley's office were torn out BEFORE the attack while they were barricading the room.
3/ Boebert took a group for a guided tour of the Capitol on Jan 5. At least one person from that group has been charged for their participation in the attack on Jan 6.
4/ There is video of the terrorists discussing plans indicating they have maps and detailed schematics of the building.
5/ Right-wing personality Ali Alexander, who organized one of the "demonstrations" Wednesday, told followers that he and three GOP Reps: Paul Gosar, Andy Biggs, and Mo Brooks were planning something big.
cnn.com/2021/01/08/us/…
6/ AOC confirmed on IG that there were inside actors, among Members of Congress and Capitol Police, who were working to jeopardize the safety of others.
7/ Clyburn says that attackers knew his location (without his name on it), and that inside actors helped armed people get around the metal detectors.

8/ A security briefing indicated that Members of Congress were in league with the insurrectionists.
9) Approval requirements for sending in the National Guard were increased, leading to some of the suspicious delays we saw in their activation.
10) Boebert was Tweeting Pelosi's movements during the siege, despite specific security instructions that this could endanger her life. Image
11) Correction on #3
The photo of Boebert was not Jan 5. @ddale8 has the fact-check here 👇
12) Although Boebert's "tour" from #3 is debunked, there are verified reports that tours of this nature did take place in the days leading up to Jan 6.
13) @SteveSchmidtSES wouldn't make this statement lightly. He's worked in DC for decades and helped plan many events that would've required security plans.

He clearly states that the videos from Jan 6 show a compromised contingent within Capitol Police.
14) Several Capitol Police officers have been suspended and many more under investigation for their actions on Jan 6.

15) A French law-enforcement official who trains with US forces went on record saying that there's only one logical explanation for the way events unfolded: someone interfered with the proper deployment of officers.

16) Three days before the attack, the Pentagon asked Capitol Police if it needed National Guard manpower.

Jan 6, as the mob descended on the building, Justice Department leaders offered up FBI agents.

Capitol Police turned down both offers down.
apnews.com/article/capito…
17) During the siege @Acosta confirmed that someone close to the White House was communicating with rioters.
18) Formal request issued to investigate Members of Congress for their involvement.

Request specifically mentions Members of Congress offering tours of the Capitol in the days leading up to the attack.
19) Three separate Capitol Police officers pointed out that management didn’t even take “simple measures” ahead of the attack like building a temporary barrier around the Capitol ahead of time.
20) Rep Maloney confirmed that a Member of Congress was seen giving tours Jan 5. His comments suggest Boebert:

"Some of our new colleagues, the same ones, of course, who believe in conspiracy theories and who want to carry guns into the House chamber"
rawstory.com/republican-cap…
21) Rep. Don Beyer says many members are worried that they're in “actual physical danger from our colleagues”.
22) "The presence of so many watch-listed individuals in one place — without more robust security measures to protect the public — is another example of the intelligence failures preceding last week’s fatal assault."
washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
23) Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal: "The lack of security at the Capitol is not an accident. It is very clear to me that there were breaches of our law-enforcement agencies."
thecut.com/2021/01/pramil…
24) Congressman @BillPascrell: "This was planned. It had to be planned...They were able to get to the offices that were unmarked. They didn't guess it."
25) Jan 3 Capitol Police intelligence report: "Unlike previous post-election protests, the targets of the pro-Trump supporters are not necessarily the counter-protesters as they were previously, but rather Congress itself is the target on the 6th."
washingtonpost.com/politics/capit…
26) Oversight Committees open review of attack on the Capitol
27) Rep Cohen confirms that Boebert gave a large tour prior to the attack on the Capitol

There’s a lot going on right now.

People make their jokes, but when conversations get honest everyone says the same: they're scared, exhausted, and know we're on the cusp of everything getting much worse.
In response to the mental onslaught of so much happening all at once, our media has transformed into a white noise machine calibrated to drown out the death knells.
Every day feels harder to face, frivolous to the point of absurdity.

Instead of waking up we slam that snooze button, and slip into an alternate dimension where time is in abundance.

Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch, and Alan Greenberg are longtime associates of Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell.

However, they're also all tied to another person known for controlling the powerful through connections and secrets. 1/
On May 2 1983, Trump, Murdoch, and Greenberg were all "Honorary Chairmen" for this event, a dinner held in honor of Roy Cohn.

Small world, being so close with multiple notorious blackmailers who happen to have ties to the intelligence community and organized crime. 2/
Of course, we shouldn't confuse Roy Cohn for Craig Spence, who was also known for blackmailing the powerful.

The lines can get blurry as there's a lot of overlap in terms of tactics, social circles, and a general conspiracy of silence. 3/

August 3, 1983 - William J. Casey and his wife attend a reception in honor of Roy Cohn hosted by Craig Spence. Image
August 4, 1983 - President Reagan and Nancy Reagan greet Donald Trump during a reception for Eureka College Scholarship recipients in the State Dining Room.

Cohn was on the Eureka College Scholarship committee, Trump was a donor. ImageImage
They didn't both attend in 1983, but Cohn and Trump both went to the Eureka College Scholarship Reception the previous year, on June 28, 1982.

These New York guys must have been quite passionate about the Illinois liberal arts college. ImageImageImage

Well... I'm sure this won't be misconstrued and used by accelerationists, #disinfo grifters, or fascists to rile up their followers.
Seriously though, this is going to travel very fast in the worst circles and ratchet up the paranoia.

One such organization is the Texas School Safety Center, a non-profit funded by the government.

The Texas Education Agency puts their website under "Student Discipline" resources.

🧵 Image
The "Office of the Attorney General" has been a part of the TxSSC Advisory Board since its inception, and their Twitter feed is full of copaganda. ImageImageImageImage
After the massacre in Uvalde, they were quick to provide interviews to CBS, NBC, the Texas Tribune, and other outlets.

Spoiler: They suggested more training. Image

"We knew it might take 5 or 10 or 20 years, yet gradually an authoritarian state arose within the democratic state, and a nucleus of fanatical devotion and ruthless determination formed in a wretched world that lacked basic convictions."
"Only one danger could have jeopardised this development — if our adversaries had understood its principle, established a clear understanding of our ideas, and not offered any resistance."
"Or, alternatively, if they had from the first day annihilated with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our new movement.

Neither was done. The times were such that our adversaries were no longer capable of accomplishing our annihilation, nor did they have the nerve."
