Did you know that Trump tweeted out a video with the image below in it just 24 hours after telling his followers to come to DC for a "wild protest" at the Capitol?
This is a Guy Fawkes mask. Fawkes was a terrorist who sought to kill every member of Britain's version of Congress.
Even creepier: Fawkes planned to launch his terrorist attack beneath Britain's equivalent of the Capitol. Oath Keepers linked to Trump's best friend Roger Stone—including some Trump let into his 1/6 VIP area—planned to "gas" Congress to death in "the tunnels beneath the Capitol."
(MORE) This isn't 2 + 2 = 113. This is the former President of the United States spreading Guy Fawkes propaganda just 2.5 weeks before individuals close to his inner circle tried to carry out a Guy Fawkes-style terrorist attack.
The audio playing while the video Trump retweeted is showing Guy Fawkes (emphasis in original):
"In your gut, you know something's *just not right* [about the results of the 2020 presidential election]."
The viewer ("you") is supposed to identify with Guy Fawkes—the terrorist.
Lest you wonder if Donald Trump knows who Guy Fawkes is: probably not. But the Guy Fawkes mask was popularized by the 2006 movie "V for Vendetta," which Trump—who loves Hollywood films—likely *does* know.
In that 2006 movie, "V" blows up Britain's equivalent of the U.S. Capitol.
Indeed, analysts have repeatedly tied "V for Vendetta" to Trump—including way before January 6. medium.com/matthews-place…
Trump helped plan January 6. It's that simple. The key dates are December 17, December 18, December 21, December 22. I thought I'd be able to do a story on this by tomorrow night, but it's too big. I can't get it done in time. So I'll leave this here. Some of you know what it is.
The key meeting occurred in the Oval Office on December 21. Trump committed the federal crime of Sedition on that day—as did those who were in the Oval Office with him.
That included Alexander's accomplices—Gosar, Biggs, and Brooks—and a few others, including...
...Matt Gaetz.
Gaetz is now represented by the Trump family lawyer. If you don't understand why that is, you haven't been paying attention. If Gaetz flips, he can tell the FBI what happened in the Oval Office on December 21. The Trumps' lawyer is representing Gaetz to make sure he doesn't flip.
During the Trump-Russia scandal, I was regularly spooked. Many across the country were. Trump openly asked Russia to commit computer crimes against his political opponent.
That is nothing—*nothing*—compared to how scary the insurrection is. It is wide; it is deep; it is growing.
I've written about the rhetoric of Trump's rebellion: "1776"; "We the People"; "patriots."
Donald Trump is the most dangerous United States citizen since Jefferson Davis.
I don't know how many more free and fair elections this country is going to have. I'm legitimately scared.
I'm begging all US investigative journalists to dedicate themselves to *this only*. *Don't* wait for the FBI. You must report on what the Pentagon did on December 17; the December 18 Oval Office meeting that almost came to blows; and the December 21 insurrection planning meeting.
On the evening of December 17, Trump's handpicked acting DoD secretary suddenly cut off Team Biden from national security briefings. <12 hours later, Giuliani, Powell and Byrne were in the Oval Office for 10 minutes alone with Trump as part of an unauthorized/unscheduled meeting.
On the very next work day—Monday, December 21—Trump convened with him only those members of Congress who would be willing to commit acts of Sedition. Their leaders were the three men Ali Alexander said he had "schemed up" the January 6 insurrection with. And Matt Gaetz was there.
Between his secret December 18 meeting with Giuliani, Powell, and Byrne—10 minutes no one else saw—and December 21, Trump told his followers to come to D.C. for a "protest." He *didn't* mean his Ellipse speech.
He was referring to a planned "Stop the Steal" event at the Capitol.
It's in the hours between Friday (the secret meeting) and Monday (the insurrection planning meeting) that not only does Trump tell everyone to come to the Capitol, but tweets a video making *very* clear what needs to happen at the Capitol.
And it is, in no uncertain terms, this:
I'm writing about this at PROOF. It's exhausting. It's exhausting because everything I write is fully sourced, and none of it is pursued by major media—which has decided to wait a year or two until the FBI finishes its work.
(PS) I know why the GOP blocked the January 6 Commission. Every indie journalist working on January 6 knows—even as major media asks the question over and over and offers no response.
A bipartisan, bicameral Commission would subpoena the people in the Oval Office on December 21.

(IMAGE) And we'll be talking about a 45-minute meeting the future President of the United States had with the leader of the January 6 insurrection:
Trump didn't do it alone. Both of the top 2016 finishers in the GOP were involved in the insurrection: Trump *and* Cruz. Trump's Arizona co-chairs and an Alabama co-chair were at the center of the attack. The GOP is covering up what it did. It's the biggest scandal in US history.
I mean, *Jesus*, the man pictured with the former president two tweets above is currently *on the run from federal law enforcement and in hiding* and major media is running segments asking, "Why does the GOP oppose a commission with subpoena power?"
Are you kidding me with this?
We're in the midst of an *active*—"hot"—insurrection, it's just that only *some* of the fronts are paramilitary. The secession effort in Oregon; the Arizona "fraudit"; the blocking of a January 6 commission; the private investigators hired by legislators in Nevada. It's a revolt.
I don't know what to do. The media has started to use the word "insurrection," and that's good—but it still doesn't get it. It's *half a year* behind. There are dozens of fully sourced stories at PROOF that would have shocked the nation but never got picked up. It feels hopeless.
Tell your friends: the U.S. is in the midst of an active insurrection. We can still have moments of levity—and I'm trying to do that here and at PROOF, or else the darkness will consume everything—but make no mistake, American democracy is under active attack and may not survive.
In 5 to 10 years, there either won't be a Republican Party anymore or there won't be a democratically elected government in the United States. Right now those feel like the two paths America could go down.

I have no difficulty saying that Trump and Musk caused some of the 50+ flood deaths in Texas.
And here's why: these two men with no expertise in disaster preparedness were told not to cut the positions they cut, and were told people would die if they did.
And then people died.
Moreover, Democrats are never going to start winning elections again until they're willing to call a thing just what it is.
Texas Democrats should be clear and persistent in saying that public service cuts overseen by non-experts desperate for billionaire tax cuts killed people.
And if Republicans respond by saying that Democrats are politicizing these deaths, the Democrats should respond: THAT'S BECAUSE THE DEATHS ARE POLITICAL. POLITICIANS CAUSED THEM.
1/ If I had to rank by how annoying they are the false narratives I hear folks who don't study these men professionally advancing, the claim that the Feud is fake would easily rank #1.
There's *no evidence whatsoever* substantiating the claim that any part of the Feud is fake.
2/ #2 would be the claim that Trump isn't the most powerful man alive. I've spent more time and words arguing that Trump is beholden to foreign business associates than anyone anywhere—and even I understand that when you control Earth’s most powerful military, it means something.
(🚨) EXCLUSIVE: This report is epic, crossing years, continents, and scandals some readers won’t have encountered before—from golf to crypto, intel to international law. Everything comes back to why the Iran War happened, and why it’ll likely restart.
1/ I’ve been thinking about what else I want to say on this subject since I first posted this report a few hours ago. The report is of course extremely long, detailed, and well-sourced, so there’s much that I could write that would simply be redundant.
2/ I do have thoughts I want to expand on, though.
Stunning how media turned passage of the Abominable Bill into a will they/won't they romcom with a July 4 deadline for Cinderella to kiss the prince, rather than a situation in which members of Congress say they're terrified they or their family will be killed if they cross Trump
The only journalistically responsible way to cover what's happening in DC is to report that the Dear Leader of a cult set an arbitrary deadline for his cult to dance for him on penalty of sinister punishments, and now we're watching a gruesome public whipping unfold in real time
The grotesque mummery playing out at the Capitol is not just joyless and borderline violent but without any suspense whatsoever, as in an authoritarian regime—which is what the GOP is—the outcome isn't in doubt, only whether 1-2 rebels choose to sacrifice themselves to the flames
Agents of Trump business and political partners MBS, MBZ and el-Sisi were secretly in the White House as Trump agreed to go to war with their enemy Iran?
How is this not the big news right now? How is this not bigger than every other story media is covering?
This is beyond journalistic malpractice.
We're talking about matters of war and peace—historic lies told by a POTUS to push America to war—and CNN is burying the lede that the attack was a byproduct of secret negotiations with those who support Trump financially and politically?
And should it not also be noted that the man representing Trump in these hours of secret negotiations inside the White House—assuming Trump wasn't there himself, which I suspect he was for part of the time—is a man (Witkoff) with financial ties to parties he was negotiating with?
(🚨) BREAKING: Exactly as happened in 2020 after Trump illegally assassinated the second-most-popular Iranian—and therefore as Trump could easily have predicted, and as media should already have forecast for Americans—Iran has just launched missiles at multiple US military bases.
CNN:
It is certainly possible that, as in 2020, this response is gestural rather than serious. But it might not be, and Trump might deliberately pretend that it is not, and either way there could still be some Americans injured, so who knows what is going to happen now.
