#SeditionHunters have caught another #SeditionVIP in his lies! A big one - AZ State Rep. Mark Finchem claimed he was only “300 to 500 yards away from the Capitol. I was never really there.” Oh yes he was! Let’s review. (See thrd, h/t @cMominator for find & @MThymol for video) 1/
First, why is Finchem a big one? Here’s Ali Alexander on Jan 10: “Arizona started with one man -- State Rep. Mark Finchem… now we’re dealing with 40 or 50 [state reps]....I’m very optimistic that Stop the Steal has already taken over Arizona” (Posted by Church Militant.) 2/
On Jan. 2, Finchem tweeted his DC plans: “I will be in Washington DC on January 6 to #StopTheSteal and fight for President @ realDonaldTrump”.... “This is one of the most important days our republic has ever seen. We need all hands on deck.” 3/
azmirror.com/2021/02/10/the…
On Jan 6 Finchem was in the VIP section of the morning rally at the Ellipse, then rushed by golf cart to the Capitol, where he was due to speak, texting en route with fellow #SeditionVIPs Ali Alexander and Michael Coudrey (btw Ali funded his hotel). 4/
phoenixnewtimes.com/news/arizona-r…
Finchem is first seen on the Capitol E. Plaza at 2:13, walking south. What is chilling about 2:13? It’s the exact time when the Capitol is first breached, and when Ali Alexander sent a Tweet: “First official day of the rebellion.” 5/
Ali tweeted 2:13, then went up the Capitol steps with Alex Jones. Ca. 2:21 PM (L) Finchem posted a photo of the mob on the steps with Jones speaking. “What happens when the People feel they have been ignored, and Congress refuses to acknowledge rampant fraud. #stopthesteal,” 6/
At 2:25, at exactly the time when the East Main Doors are first breached, Finchem is seen backtracking N up the Plaza. Coincidence? Maybe - he could be fleeing the several vans full of DC police who arrived just beforehand. Either way, bad timing for an innocent tourist. 7/
Updates
#IamMarkFinchem sponsored the ongoing AZ ‘fraudit’. He is running for Sec. of State to oversee AZ elections. He has refused to comply with a public records request.

#IamAliAlexander and #IamMichaelCoudrey seem to have fled the country.

Just going to keep reposting this screenshot from Bukele's inauguration last year every time he lies in reporters' faces about how he can't return an innocent US resident. This is the guy who will be imprisoning US citizens next. 1/ Image
Listen to what Trump says to Bukele, in this video posted by Bukele himself. At 7:29 Trump leans over and whispers: "homegrowns are next" - US citizens. And "you're going to have to build about 5 more prisons". Flagged by the NPR correspondent. 2/
That Tweet seems set for "private" but if anyone can grab the video, please do. The plan is not ambiguous: Trump wants to ship US citizens, his political enemies, to El Salvador, and Bukele is going to let him do it. Read thread below to understand why. 3/

Trump defers to El Salvador's sovereignty but threatens Greenland. Why? It's not strange. Trump is deferring to Silicon Valley neo-fascists. They dream of seizing Greenland, but El Salvador president Bukele is their guy. He's their test case for a crypto-powered autocracy. 1/
Bukele branded himself the tech-friendly modern dictator: yes death squads, but also Bitcoin. Shred your old financial system and pay salaries in Bitcoin? Done in El Salvador. Spend taxpayer money on a national cryptocurrency reserve? Also El Salvador. 2/

Bukele's bitcoin bet isn't going well; he has to beg IMF for a loan. But some US oligarchs see him as a role model. It's no coincidence that Trump picked El Salvador as a partner in autocracy. When Bukele visits Trump on Monday, that must be reported. 3/

The dreaded "I told you so" moment: for years this account has warned that Trump and his backers want to dictate what schools can teach, from K-12 and university. That they wanted to impose curricula. And now it's here: Trump is trying to seize Columbia, a private university. 1/ Image
n Sep. 2022 I put it in a Twitter thread: that Trump had offered control over education as a quid pro quo for supporting his coup. Trump may not care about schools, but the people behind him do. They want to take away freedom of thought and speech. 2/
Trump and his backers copy Victor Orban, who seized universities in Hungary. Hungarian envoys are now at every major right-wing conference. CPAC went to Hungary. University leaders should have read Orban's blueprint and prepared. This is their plan. 3/

Trump is doing it: using the Justice Department to go after his 'enemies' and support his Big Lie. Pardoning the J6ers was just the first step. He's now using DOJ to attack those who said he lost in 2020, starting with Chris Krebs. It's full dictator mode: no law but power. 1/
Cannot emphasize enough how bad this is. A president using law enforcement to persecute those who won't repeat his lies. A pliant Attorney General who has also said she would send US citizens to foreign torture camps. All Americans must speak out or this is the end. 2/
Going to add some other reactions here - many see how bad this is. Tim Miller calls the move "Stalinesque". He says "Any person who reveres our constitutional republic should speak out against it." 3/

Journalists reporting on Pete Hegseth's brother Phil seem to be missing his work in 2017-2018 - he worked for Cliff May's Foundation for the Defense of Democracies as a "social and digital media specialist", and also wrote some articles for them. 1/
web.archive.org/web/2017100314… x.com/MilitaryTimes/…Image
This doesn't seem like earthshaking stuff, but it's trivial to find and oddly he omits it from his LinkedIn. Phil Hegseth shows up on the FDD staff page in Feb 2017 and is gone in June 2018. Here's one of his articles, a summary of a report. 2/
web.archive.org/web/2017110221…Image
The Foundation for the Defense of Democracies had a roster of very well known conservative voices so there's a lot of people you can call for stories about Phil Hegseth - including Michael G. Waltz, now Pete Hegseth's Signal buddy. 3/

Today 19 Dem Senators helped enable both Trump's attack on science and the techbro power grab by confirming the most unqualified person ever to lead the Office of Science & Technology Policy: a non-scientist (BA in politics) who spent 8 years working for Peter Thiel. 1/ Image
The Senate-confirmed head of OSTP has ALWAYS been a high-level scientist - this is the person who advises the president on science and technology. Why Kratsios? Because he's a Thiel protege. In 2017, Trump picked him up directly from his job at Thiel Capital - a VC guy. 2/ Image
By now Kratisos is in AI. In Dec. Trump nominated a slew of AI-tinged science advisors. Of 4 names here, only one (the woman) has science PhD: Lynne Parker is an EE prof & NSF director. The other 3 are Thiel / Andreessen VC men, techbro nepo babies. The Pete Hegseths of tech. 3/ Image
