BREAKING NEWS: Sitting Congresswoman Endorses Secession, Requiring Her Immediate Expulsion From Congress
(MORE) The Oregon counties Hannity wrote of are looking to illegally secede from Oregon and become part of Idaho. Greene's comment, were it about interstate secession, would itself warrant expulsion. But in mentioning Biden, she turns to secession from the Union that Biden leads.
(MORE) Marjorie Taylor Greene is secesh.

I said it—and don't apologize for it.

She was already an insurrectionist. She is now writing about discrete governmental units within the United States seceding from the Union that Biden leads *as well as* endorsing interstate secession.
(MORE) America cannot allow secesh in Congress. Period. Period.
(MORE) Endorsing interstate secession would be a violation of Greene's Oath of Office. But when she writes that people nationwide are talking secession because of the federal government and says "God bless them," she's further endorsing Confederate-style secession from the Union.
(MORE) Imagine having a United States Congress that doesn't even—at a *minimum*—*censure* those who openly encourage ("God bless them") secession. Imagine how long a country that allows secesh rot at the heart of its government is going to last.

Look to history to figure it out.
(MORE) BTW, if Greene wants to clarify that she mentioned people across the country and Biden for *no reason* and was only encouraging interstate secession and *only* doing so if it were accomplished via a legal process with no hope of happening, I'm sure she'll get right on that
(MORE) Greene and other insurrectionists *very much* want to gerrymander *regions*, not just in-state districts; they *want* parts of states to secede and join other states so that in the next Census ID (🟥) would gain a House seat and the now-less-populous OR (🟦) would lose one
(MORE) While the five counties in Oregon only number 63,000 people, two more OR counties will be considering such proposals soon and others may follow—so yes, the state secession plots Greene advocates (quite apart from the anti-federal one) could transform our government by 2030
(MORE) As eastern Oregon is already conservative, the loss of a House district or two to Idaho wouldn't necessarily change the makeup of Congress immediately, but it would initiate a chain reaction in which red areas secede to try to get under red state legislatures and governors
(MORE) A rash of interstate secessions—separate from the anti-federal secession Greene endorses—would quickly tear America apart, with the rise of nearly all-blue or all-red legislatures making it impossible to conduct federal elections and leading to a *dissolution of our Union*
(MORE) As I wrote in my pinned tweet—which suddenly seems more timely than I'd realized when I published the article at PROOF—Greene is supporting an early-stage victory for the American Redoubt Movement, an insurrectionist paramilitary cause that is full-on secesh (as she knows)

Hours media will spend today discussing a tragic shooting in San Jose that is identical—as a news story—to another such shooting we'll see tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that: 3

Hours media has EVER spent on the January 5 Trump International war council: 0

😡
(🔓) PROOF UNLOCKED: As a journalism professor, I've lectured at the university level on how "newsworthiness" is determined. US workplace shootings—almost without exception—fail the 10-step test. A PROOF lecture on the topic is now available to the public: sethabramson.substack.com/p/lecture-seri…
(MORE) The U.S. is a country of 332 million that has one mass shooting per day. Media spends 3+ hours on scores of such shootings annually, *instead* of doing new investigative reporting. This shooting is tragic and is news in Santa Clara County, CA. It's not newsworthy in Maine.

I hope everyone is aware that there's *literally no party in America* called the "Democrat Party"

Anyone using any phrase to identify the Democratic Party other than the one the Democratic Party uses—"Democratic Party"—is using a smear so stupid a four-year-old would blush at it
Imagine how unserious and impossible to engage with for any generative purpose the Democratic Party would be thought to be if every official in the party used a rank slur to describe Republicans every time they talked about them

America hasn't had a real 2-party system for years
Rush Limbaugh came up with this smear because he thought it'd make him extra coin on the radio, and the entire Republican Party was so replete with cowards afraid of Limbaugh's audience—this was before Donald Trump—that they *literally changed what they call the Democratic Party*

(1 of 5) As usual Glenn misses the point completely—and deliberately. From 2018 to 2020, there was coordinated Trump-Ukraine collusion—I wrote a 600-page bestseller on this, so I'm not spitballing—specifically designed to spread misinformation about the Bidens, Ukraine and China.
(2 of 5) Trump and his team knew they were working with Kremlin agents, knew they were spreading misinformation, and knew they were engaged in an effort to undermine U.S. elections. But they persisted because nothing mattered but Trump's ambitions. This posed a problem for media.
(3 of 5) *Trump's actions* created a situation in which coverage of what sliver of the Biden story had merit would *necessarily* feed a far larger—and wholly false—narrative Trump, his agents/allies/attorneys/associates/aides, *and the Kremlin* were trying to inject into America.

(🆚) THREAD: This thread contains all 3 parts of the recent exposé at PROOF. It focuses on Trump, the Oath Keepers, the Arizona "fraudit," the January 5 Trump International Hotel "war council," the Three Percenters, secession, and much more. Here's Part I. sethabramson.substack.com/p/major-new-re…
(🆚) 1: Below is Part II of a 3-part exposé at PROOF that covers key topics re: the January 6 insurrection which—inexplicably—aren't being covered elsewhere. The primary focus here is the cadre inside Trump's inner circle with ties to the insurrectionists. sethabramson.substack.com/p/major-new-re…
(🆚) 2: In Part III of the major January 6 exposé at PROOF, #KremlinCruz and Trump himself make an entrance in a big way, with the evidence here raising questions for the two men that they haven't answered—and that it's inconceivable they haven't answered. sethabramson.substack.com/p/major-new-re…

What many of us said all along is exactly what happened.
(PS) Chapter 1 of PROOF OF CORRUPTION (Macmillan, 2020) is literally titled "Manafort" Image
(PS2) How many times did I post on this feed the January 2018 NBC News story reporting that Trump believed *Paul Manafort* was the *one* person who might sink him? How many times did I say that the whole point of Trump's criminal obstruction was to shut Manafort up—and it worked?

This is why we need curatorial journalism: because everything covered today as "breaking news" about the timing of COVID-19 in Wuhan was reported in Proof of Corruption (Sept. 2020) in more detail...

...because major media already reported it in mid-2020. bbc.com/news/world-us-…
PS/ The idea that 2-3 lab workers in Wuhan may have gotten sick in November 2019—giving us shocking new insight into the movement of the virus through Wuhan—is absurd. Proof of Corruption cites at least 7 major-media reports from 2020 putting the virus in Wuhan pre-November 2019.
PS2/ I have no opinion whatsoever on whether COVID-19 came from a lab. I only know that if for some reason it *did* come from a lab, it was *prior to November 2019*—making anyone who got sick in the WIV in November 2019 *completely irrelevant* to the timeline of the virus spread.
