#SeditionHunters - the Capitol attack has bursts of organized action, & then times when the plan goes wrong. Watch this synchronized reel of its first 23 minutes. In just 6 astonishing minutes, racing invaders take the Lower W. Plaza and Media Tower 1/
The rush up the Penn. Walkway began at 12:53. Ten minutes later the Proud Boys are confidently strolling the front lines (note #Rufio), tho some Capitol Police in riot gear have arrived 2/
At 1:05 PM, the Joint Session to certify the electoral votes begins. At just that moment, a man on the tower begins reading a prepared speech justifying insurrection. You can read the full transcript by @LayanDoesDance here: 3/ docs.google.com/document/d/1tM…
Along with the political speech the insurrectionists carry the #CapitolJerichoCross to the front lines and shout "God brought us here!" But by 1:17, when this reel ends, the fast takeover has failed: police push back and set up barricades. There will be no simple walkover. 4/
The faceoff on the W. Plaza seems unexpected: the East side has to wait, and #MaroonPB is not happy. (h/t @RavenDragon2015)
That takes us to 1:17 PM, so there are still 4 more hours of stories to tell... Help us tell them - people with video skills, please volunteer! 5/

#Scallops may be Jack Wade Whitton, arrested in Georgia yesterday. Still no individual charging documents but Whitton has been added to the indictment including #Caveman (Peter Stager), #OrangeNTeal (Jeffrey Sabol), and #Slickback (Clayton Mullins). justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…
#SeditionHunters - more arrests: now #WindowWatcher is finally picked up! Long known as Qanon fanatic Yvonne St. Cyr from Idaho. Thanks to @hockeynut0118 for flagging the arrest. More info to follow. 1/
St. Cyr (#WindowWatcher) was ID'd immediately by #SeditionHunters as she left her FB posts up: "Patriots are in our house!". Like many she mixes conspiracy theories on election / Qanon / covid; arrested in Boise in Dec. for disrupting a Health Board mtg.
She is buddy-buddy with a lot of major organizers. See great image from @zlueth1 below showing that she is one of the first to the tunnel, right on the heels of leader #GreenNewsboy 3/
#SeditionHunters & journalists - interesting to find a truck with a giant III% decal & government plates parked in front of the Capitol on 1/6 in an area reserved for Congressmen, other senior folks. Whose truck is this? Pls retweet. #Sedition3P
adding an image to thread from @UrFaveFltAttndt of III%er truck still parked at Capitol after curfew 2/
And the answer is ... Rep. Mary Miller, Illinois. Sworn in Jan 3, 2021. On Jan 5 widely condemned for saying "Hitler was right on one thing.." Jan 6 parks her truck at the Capitol.
OK #SeditionHunters here is a new development and a new project. It seems that in some high-res shots you can see the frequencies used for #SeditionComms, and they are different for different groups. So those numbers tell you who talks to who. Please look for these & report!
And, another grim part of the story - it may be that Capitol Police were not encrypting communications, because there is audio that seems to show insurrectionists monitoring police channels. So please turn on audio and listen for more cases of this.

#SeditionHunters - not to overwhelm with too many new tags today, but will bookmark this older post with #EarnedMyAFO. Let's keep track of best clips of people who should be on @FBIWFO's Wanted list but aren't yet. #SuitMacer earned it!
Should note that the officers here are mostly DC metropolitan police, which may be one reason #SuitMacer didn't make it on the federal list. Unclear whether assault on metro police supporting Capitol Police on federal grounds is a federal offense, but I sure hope it is.
#SeditionHunters - meet #CapitolQuisling, a menacing figure wearing a Norwegian scarf (says "NORGE"). History lesson to follow explaining why Norwegian scarves are scarier than Swedish ones at this riot and what is a Quisling.
So in WWII the Norwegian resistance fought the Nazis fiercely, operating bravely on skis. So famous that even Hollywood noticed.
So "Norway" sounds anti-Nazi! But every country has rotten people and Norway had Quisling, who first tried a coup and then ran the Nazi puppet government. So "quisling" = traitor.
