THREAD: Live tweeting "Sleeper Cells," the new episode of @GaslitNation podcast with @sarahkendzior and @AndreaChalupa.

"The conditions and the fractures and the criminality that brought us to this point are still lingering there beneath the surface."

Trump & January 6th instigators are escaping accountability.

White supremacist terrorists are still active.

There's still a global mafia of plutocrats, oligarchs, corrupt state actors, and organized crime.

I'm skipping the 240 character limit here.

PBS has a new documentary called "The Rise of the Nazis." Andrea watched it, but you should, too.

"The parallels between Trump and Hitler are astounding." - @AndreaChalupa

pbs.org/show/rise-nazi…

From the PBS doc: Hitler realizes that if he tells a very simple message, it doesn't matter if they're true or not. The point is that you have to keep repeating them... Make Germany great again. Restore the economy... Empty slogans, but they're carrying a [very powerful] message.

"Hitler and the Nazis came to power because conservative leaders in the establishment helped them and refused to do anything to stop them.... The Nazis were used by the Mitch McConnells of their day to defeat the Left and consolidate power." - @AndreaChalupa

"Their movement was fueled by hate, scapegoating, and violence. The stormtroopers committed violence out in the open -- in bars, in the street -- and as their movement grew, so did support from the police." - @AndreaChalupa

Who is Andrea talking about now?

"Their hatred of the Left and their love of power brought a mass murdering narcissist to the helm." - @AndreaChalupa

Andrea is referring to the establishment conservatives of Nazi Germany and Hitler, but just so we're clear...

The Supreme Court didn't help Trump steal the election, but they allowed him to come to power in the first place by gutting the Voter Rights Act. New laws like the one Georgia just passed will do it again, for Trump or someone similar.

Some of the worst things that are happening in the United States are thanks to the Federalist Society, a hugely powerful organization of conservative lawyers that helps pack courts with far-right ideologues, hoping to take us back to before the civil rights era.

The Federalist Society gave us Gorsuch, Thomas, Roberts, Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, and now Amy Coney Barrett.

Its top leaders are also members of the Council for National Policy, a shadow network with the same goals. Charlie Kirk is a recent member.

Think of them as sleeper cells
In the police force
The military
Far-right judges appointed by the Federalist Society
The Republican Party
The NRA
The Trump family
The Kremlin dark money
Big Tech that pushes disinformation for profit
The sleeper cells are among us.

"I went away last week. I wrote in my book Hiding In Plain Sight that whenever I go on a road trip, the flag that I pass on every highway is always at half staff because there's always been a mass shooting. There were two just in the four days that I was gone." - @sarahkendzior

"On January 5th, Andrea & I announced a Gaslit Nation special episode to talk about the [Capitol attack], because they had announced it!"

"The FBI saw it coming and either decided to look the other way or looked on with approval. They could have stopped it." - @sarahkendzior

Let's do another poll. Did you know before January 6th that there was going to be an attack on the Capitol that day?

I knew. I had it marked on my calendar.

"WHERE is the unredacted Mueller Report that was promised to us if the Democrats were to take the House, and the Senate, and the presidency, which they did? We cannot put these things on the back burner or we won't survive." - @sarahkendzior

If the Hitler vs. Trump discussion isn't enough incentive to listen to this episode, Sarah listing off everything wrong with the F.B.I. over the years should be.

Preview: "Every character is a villain. That's the history of the FBI [leadership] for the last 30 years."

In the hour and a half I've been writing this thread, the trending topics sidebar on Twitter has shown me Epstein, Roger Stone, Matt Gaetz, and various other members of the Trump criminal clown car. Unbelievable.

Here's Stone & Gaetz with alleged sex trafficker Joel Greenberg.

"Republicans are tough on poor people.
Republicans are tough on communities of color.
Republicans are tough on LGBTQ people.
Republicans are tough on women.
They are not tough on crime."
- @AndreaChalupa

The FBI also isn't tough on crime bc criminals are their friends. "Their definition of a criminal is created in advance of finding the crime. A 'criminal' is a Muslim. A 'criminal' is a black man on the street. A criminal could never be Donald Trump," whose crimes are documented.

"The FBI isn't tough on crime because the criminals are their friends."

Like Donald Trump.

"The FBI isn't tough on crime because the criminals are their friends."

Like this Rudy Giuliani adviser, a Russian mafia member who had an FBI agent trying to dismiss the agency's report on him. trumpfile.org/giuliani-donor…

"The FBI isn't tough on crime because the criminals are their friends."

Like the most powerful organized crime boss in the world, who a former FBI director works for and who James Comey removed from the FBI's Most Wanted list. trumpfile.org/james-comey-un…

"The FBI isn't tough on crime because the criminals are their friends."

Like Jeffrey Epstein, who the FBI negotiated a major plea deal for because he belonged to "intelligence." trumpfile.org/reporter-vicky…

Georgia created a loophole to change election results.
Florida passed a law to criminalize peaceful protests.

This "is the kind of thing that happens when a country is turning from a democracy to an autocracy." - @sarahkendzior

Big thanks to @sarahkendzior and @AndreaChalupa for keeping this going. Informed and inspired voices like yours are so necessary right now while the country seems to be forgetting the threats we face.

P.S. Thank you for the followback, Sarah 🙏
