After 5 years investigating #Kremlin influence in the US, and talking with many experts including @Billbrowder @anders_aslund @MarkWarner, @Natalia_Budaeva @vkaramurza, it’s clear the US was targeted by some of the same people, & money sources that led to #Brexit.

It’s a complex architecture, but there is a definite link. If you look at the people who funded the #Leave campaign who’ve been closely associated with efforts in the US to foment discontent in the political parties, conspiracy theories and; how so many people minimal means...

Made it to #DC to participate in the #CapitolRiot on Jan. 6th, and you follow the money and idea trail, it takes you back to a some of the same people.

ALERT: I’ve learned in the past few days that some members of Congress and staff are not only worried about the threats around them, BUT, a number of them are exasperated when they see and hear reports of threats on TV and Radio, online and in the papers BEFORE they are notified

It’s my understanding that security briefings are taking place, but not to all members. The part that’s frustrating to the people I’ve spoken to is that the salient information makes it into the press, almost in real time, which suggest that some press are “almost in the room.”

Leaks? Maybe. But that’s not the issue. When I read or hear about about a threat and speak to a member or key staff, and they don’t know about it, THAT’S the problem. The other piece that perhaps some folks are not seeing is that according to law enforcement sources,

The #CapitolRiot. How did we get here? About 6 years ago the firehose of disinformation in the US was turned on full blast. The source was #RussianIntelligence. BUT THEN, they stepped back, because the seed was planted. google.com/amp/s/wtop.com…

The fissures in American society they were seeking to exploit, exploded open. When the dust settled, some of our fellow Americans bought fully into the lies the #GRU was pushing, even prominent educated citizens, journalists, politicians and others. google.com/amp/s/wtop.com…

Then in 2016 many of the conspiracy theories pushed out by groups like Qanon became convenient fodder for politicians, business people, journalists and everyday citizens seeking to push their own agendas. #CognitiveDissonance THAT is when the dangerous talk about #CivilWar began

ALERT: Intelligence reports from @FBI and other USG agencies indicate there may be close to 20 distinct events planned in Washington by militant groups between TODAY and 1/21. More are planned nationwide in every state. The massive show of force in Washington will...

undoubtedly shutdown with deadly force, if necessary, any armed group that chooses to confront the force that includes 20k + troops, federal agents, local & state police personnel believed to number in the thousands and; air, land, sea and cyber surveillance.

A federal law enforcement source tells me, “there are many other countermeasures that can repel ANY attempt by armed militants to harm the incoming President and Vice President.” But the BIG worry, according to the source, is that a small number of, “die-hard, true-believers May

The extreme anger, numerous symbols of hate and unbridled #racism on display during the #Capitolriot by many educated and professional people, from across the country, shocked a lot of people. It also reminded many of the #lynchmobs from the Deep South in the #JimCrow era. BUT...

The MOST disturbing element is the enablers in the shadows, who according to law enforcement sources, helped them conceal their weapons, which they retrieved at some point between the rally on the mall and the riot.

Another MAJOR, real-time takeaway that we’re often oblivious to: The subtle hateful acts, and racist behavior unfolding around us in social, work and other community settings, that are masked by smiles and flattering language.

ALERT: L/E sources: In the coming weeks and months “the list of those who planned the #CapitolRiot will grow and surprise some and confirm suspicions of others.” #InsideJob

Key questions being investigated are “where did all those weapons come from -ropes, ladders, sledge hammers, hockey sticks, metal pipes, flex cuffs? Did they hide all these things someplace? How could they have gotten to the Capitol without police noticing?”

Investigators are also wondering what some of those security companies who are supposed to warn the USG about this kind of thing were hearing.
