Lest we forget Trump's other treason >> ‘The perfect target’: Russia cultivated Trump as asset for 40 years – ex-KGB spy Yuri Shvets reveals in new @craigunger book "American Kompromat" | via @guardian @SmithInAmerica theguardian.com/us-news/2021/j…
KGB operatives told Trump he should enter politics. “It was a charm offensive…he was extremely vulnerable intellectually, and psychologically…prone to flattery." Russians pretended to be impressed w/ Trump. Told him he should be POTUS one day; that he could change the world👀 Image
KGB flattered Trump while feeding him talking points on a 1987 trip to Russia. Soon after returning to US, Trump began exploring a run for GOP nomination, held a campaign rally in NH & bought full-page ad in NYT, WaPo & Boston Globe—expressing skepticism about US paying for NATO. Image
Trump's ads parroting the very KGB talking points he was fed by Moscow was met w/ astonishment & jubilation in Russia. KGB HQ cabled Shvets celebrating the ad as a successful “active measure” executed by their new KGB asset in America. Russians were gob-smacked Trump was so easy. Image

🔑Stanley: Fascism is a way of seizing power that uses a particular style of propaganda. If we only think of fascism as a type of govt or an ideology, we may recognize it too late—AFTER it’s transformed our political system. The goal is to stop fascism BEFORE it becomes a regime.
"You can have a regime that's a democracy…but if you have massive racial injustice & massive inequality, then you’re going to have fascist social & political forces…to deal w/ potential uprisings from its impoverished minority neighborhoods that protect its fancy neighborhoods"
Prof Jason Stanley: Fascism is usually a cult of the leader who promises national restoration in the face of supposed humiliation by immigrants, minorities & leftists.… So we need to think about fascist tactics & all the background conditions that make these tactics effective.

Since it’s #HolocaustRemembranceDay , let’s connect the dots between far-right domestic terrorism & QAnon. Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t just a conspiracy theorist nutjob. She’s pushing modern-day Nazism, rebranded for US racists, using tropes & language of anti-Semitic propaganda
QAnon conspiracy theory builds on centuries-old anti-Semitic tropes & lies. Its main tenet—a global cabal—is familiar from Nazi fascism. QAnon members openly blame Jews—Rothschilds & perversely George Soros—himself a Holocaust survivor—for their grievances.insider.com/qanon-conspira…
QAnon Is a Nazi Cult, Rebranded. Genocide scholar says Q conspiracy theory is early warning sign of genocidal violence, citing parallels to Protocols of Zion, notorious Blood Libel conspiracy theory created by Russian propagandists & taught in Nazi schools.justsecurity.org/72339/qanon-is…

Coup plot twist: A witness told the FBI a woman took Speaker Pelosi’s computer device during the Capitol siege intending to sell it to “a friend in Russia”—who planned to sell it to the SVR foreign intelligence agency. The witness said the transfer fell thru for unknown reasons.
UPDATE: Riley WILLIAMS has been arrested. She's the woman alleged in a plot to sell Pelosi's laptop to "a friend in Russia."

It should shock no one if Russian agents were involved in #CapitolSiege. Insurrection by "patriots" fed disinformation is a Kremlin specialty.
Hmm. This tweet about Riley WILLIAMS "in jail" has been deleted. Apparently only an arrest warrant has been issued, charging Williams with violent entry or disorderly conduct, and entering the restricted space of the Capitol (Per CNN). But Williams has NOT been arrested. Yet.

Proud Boys heard Trump loud & clear: "The messages show the group repeatedly invoking President Trump’s rhetoric in the weeks leading to the Jan. 6 protest"—WSJ, after review of 1000s of posts on Parler, Telegram & Gab where the extremists rallied ppl to come to DC. #CapitolSiege
"On Parler, where the group’s official account had more than 340,000 followers before the platform went offline last week, Mr. Tarrio said…Proud Boys would be able to put a thousand “BOOTS ON THE GROUND” and "…in record numbers on Jan. 6.”
Flyer: POTUS WANTS YOU IN DC ON 1/06 Image
After Trump tweet to "be there, will be wild" about Jan. 6 rally, the Proud Boys Long Island chapter posted that Trump supporters have been “WAITING FOR THE GREEN LIGHT FROM THE PRESIDENT.”

“Everyone who said ‘Mr. President, just say when?’ He just did."
