Ali Alexander was on @telegram early this morning promising Civil War unless Biden concedes.

This man is dangerous, and obviously unhinged.

I am terribly concerned about the message that his loyal supporters are taking away from this.

h/t @lukeobrien for spotting this!
Perhaps "leading political theorist" Ali Alexander was having a rough Valentines day?
How unhinged is Ali Alexander? I'll let him do the talking.
Remember what happened the last time Ali Alexander called on his followers?

BREAKING: at least six men that provided security for Roger Stone entered the #Capitol during the siege, per a @nytimes visual investigation.

All six are associated with the far-right #OathKeepers militia.

THREAD 1/

Story: nytimes.com/interactive/20…
2/ On January 5th, Stone appeared at the Supreme Court, glad-handing and being driven in a go-kart. Later he attended a rally near the White House.

As the @nytimes team shows, his security entourage featured a host of #OathKeepers...
3/ In the morning of the 6th, Stone stood outside the Willard InterContinental hotel, again flanked by men associated with the #OathKeepers.

Some of them, like Rob Minuta, have been named in prior reporting.

Oh my god: This man's brother once led Michelle Obama's Secret Service detail, said @MichelleObama...who also attended his father's memorial service in 2012.

Thanks to those that flagged this.


Per @CNN: cnn.com/2021/01/24/pol…
I read the @CNN story about four times in growing disbelief. @MichelleObama had written about his brother in her book Becoming.

Editorializing:

The #Capitol storming was a very public manifestation of the tendrils of bigotry, hate, anger, racism, conspiracy theories & fear that are tearing families apart in many thousands of private tragedies.

NEW: in November Jessica Watkins was training a paramilitary group to be "fighting fit" while "awaiting direction" from President Trump.

By December 29th, a text exchange showed she perceived that Trump had given the signal.

Per: Gov detention memo.

h/t @ryanjreilly THREAD
2/ Folks will remember Jessica Watkins as part of the disciplined "stack" of #Oathkeepers moving up to the #Capitol doors, then forcing entry.

Video: @rstevensbrody
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."

WOW: Thomas Caldwell, one of the #Oathkeepers indicted for conspiracy:

- Top Secret clearance since 1979 w/multiple SBIs
- @FBI section chief as GS-12 ('09-'10)
- Regular classified work for @DEA @USArmy etc.

Per his motion for release.

h/t @alanfeuer (a worthwhile follow!)
The transcript is interesting. Gov alludes to some lines of evidence.

- Footage of Caldwell outside Capitol, saying all inside are traitors
- Facebook messages w/advance planning & admissions
- Cellular location data placing wife, who accompanied him, in #Capitol vicinity.
There's an apparent mis-transcription, but looks to me like the Government is mentioning sedition charges may be on the table for #OathKeepers.

Pinellas Sheriff: a hacker accessed water treatment systems at Oldsmar FL, raised concentrations of Sodium Hydroxide to toxic levels.

Was spotted & reversed.

File under: terrifying once validated.
h/t @Bing_Chris
I'll be following @Bing_Chris for updates as it looks like he's on the story.

Good context from @nicoleperlroth too. This is absolutely a story to watch.
