3/ The Gov memo begins by highlighting the call for action made by #OathKeepers leader Elmer Stuart Rhodes on their website.
I'm including a screenshot of it: "TAKE AMERICA BACK. BE THERE. WILL BE WILD."
4/ “I need you fighting fit by innaugeration.” [sic]
In October, Watkins was actively recruiting new militia members for the operation.
And discussing the need to "go underground" if Biden came into power.
5/ 🚨CHILLING: The Jan6 Quick Reaction Force was "our Law Enforcement members of Oathkeepers".
Context: The group had a planned armed QRF outside DC during previous protests that would "await...orders to enter DC under permission from Trump" and then bring in weapons.
6/ NEW pic: memo shows cluster of #Oathkeepers bunching inside the #Capitol, seen on what looks like Capitol CCTV. Watkins is highlighted with a yellow arrow.
7/ Reminder: Watkins was not alone.
-Indicted alongside vets Thomas Caldwell & Donovan Crowl.
-Participated in an #Oathkeepers "leadership only" phone conference & passed along directives.
- Apparent coordination among other Oath Keepers👇
-Etc.
IMPORTANT: has @Apple sent you a mercenary spyware threat notification?
Latest round just went out.
Take them seriously. Get expert help.
If you a journalist, activist, dissident etc. I suggest you ✅contact @accessnow's helpline. 1/ accessnow.org/help/
2/ In my experience, @Apple's mercenary spyware threat notifications do several things:
✅ Help users take action to secure themselves
✅ Impose cost on spyware companies & customers
✅ Keep us researchers busy investigating cases
They can also have a✅deterrent effect.
@Apple 3/ I never tire of saying that @apple threat notifications have helped to change the information balance between spyware victims & those that target them.
They have also kicked off waves of scandals & discoveries of spyware abuses. Like in #Poland👇
2/ The investigation behind this Russian political interference takedown is interesting.
First, the @FBI got account registration info for a slice of fake accounts on @X
They found a lot of email accounts registered on the same server.
So they went to the registrar...
@FBI @X 3/ While the domain registrar (Namecheap) had a bunch of account registration information for the @FBI, the info was a fake name and some alias information.
Strike out? No. The FBI began a subpoena cascade, starting with the Google account used to register the domain.
