Here's an enhanced version of the notes that Mike Lindell was carrying into the White House, as captured by @jabinbotsford.

Trump appears to be getting advice to make Kash Patel the acting CIA director and to trigger the Insurrection Act. From an insane pillow salesman.

As several of you have noted, it's possible that someone else wrote that document up. But that makes it even worse. It means that Trump is likely having multiple people pressuring him to do this.

I'm going to add replies to do a rough transcription of the visible portion. It's not entirely readable:

[illegible] NOW as Acting National Security
[illegible] him with getting the evidence of ALL the
[illegible] in the election and all the information regarding

[illegible] people he knows who already have security
[illegible] done massive research on these issues
[illegible] in Fort Mead. He is an attorney with cyber-
[illegible] expertise and is up to speed on election issues.

[Insurrection?] Act now as a result of the assault on the
martial law if necessary upon the first hint of any

[redacted]

[illegible] Sidney Powell, Bill Olsen, Kurt Olsen.
[illegible] Move Kash Patel to CIA Acting.

[illegible] of Foreign Interference in the election. Trigger
[many?] powers. Make clear this is China/Iran
[illegible] also used domestic actors. Instruct Frank
[any?] evidence on [illegible] the more broad
[illegible] likely amount [illegible]
[always the [illegible] evidence

[possible?] [cause] [illegible] attorney

I think this is correct about the first two blobs at the top of the pic.

Potentially, Kash Patel is was the person referenced in a tweet that was posted by Rudy Giuliani which was subsequently removed but captured here by @maggieNYT

Rudy's recipient appears to be James Sullivan, the Proud Boy whose brother, John Sullivan (a fake lefty who was expelled by BLM and antifa months ago), is being set up as the right-wing patsy for the Capital invasion.

The number begins with "385," which is a Utah area code. Both Sullivan brothers are from the state.

James says his brother is mentally ill and is going after him. John appears to have no real ideology. thegrayzone.com/2021/01/12/cha…

As stated above, John Sullivan has no current connections to BLM or antifa. He was expelled by activists in SLC, Portland, and Seattle after he was suspected of being a right-wing infiltrator. Many details in this thread:

White supremacist activists have been urging Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act since 2017. The idea began spreading into less openly racist circles in 2019. Radical Jewish activist Josh Bernstein called on Trump to "become a dictator for patriotism" rightwingwatch.org/post/josh-bern…

After Trump lost the election, far-right activists began immediately talking about civil war and mass murder. One example from mid-December:

Alex Jones began calling for Trump to declare himself a dictator several years ago. Which meant that QAnon, his more Christian supremacist rival, was going to start doing it as well.

The conspiracies are swirling around Trump's already weak mind. No telling what he'll try.

Big picture: The far right has finally figured out that it does not have majority and will likely never have the White House again.

This realization is triggering their terminal thanatos instinct and Christian martyr fantasies as I described here:

As Trump's semi-normal advisers are running for the hills, the only people left are Javanka and wackos like Lin Wood.

One of the extremists is Steve Bannon, who's also a Christian supremacist. He's back and begging for a pardon. Trump's listening. politico.com/news/2021/01/1…

In a Friday FB post, Mike Lindell urged followers to "Keep the faith everyone! We will have our president Donald Trump 4 more years!"

Lindell promoted a livestream co-hosted by self-proclaimed "prophet" Mark Taylor who has claimed revelations that Trump would remain president

Mike Lindell seems to have been one of the biggest, if not the biggest sponsor of mass events promoting false claims about Joe Biden's 2020 presidential victory. Lindell is also the primary advertiser on the far-right opinion shows of Fox News that have seen an advertiser exodus.

It's worth recalling that in December, Mike Lindell called for Trump to impose martial law in 7 different states before deleting it. His words are in the attached image. Background story: minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/12/19/on-…

After the Capitol invasion happened, Mike Lindell has been an ardent promoter of lies claiming that far-left activists had actually been the ones breaking in and trying to kill Mike Pence bizjournals.com/twincities/new…

On 1/6, My Pillow offered a discount code "FightForTrump" which was chanted by the crowd during Trump's speech before the violence. They also chanted it as they invaded the Capitol and began assaulting police.

Mike Lindell kept offering the code: nytimes.com/2021/01/12/bus…

As the Trump presidency comes to its disgraceful end, the advocates of all the worst conspiracy theories are trying to turn them into self-fulfilling prophecies of dictatorship and death.
