What happened to Pelley's Silver Shirts? The group was dissolved and members were arrested for sedition. Seems we used to know how to do this. Pelley was sentenced to 15 years in jail. wolfsonian.org/blog/2020/19/
"The Silver Legion was ... dissolved the day after Pearl Harbor, when authorities called for the arrest of any individuals associated with the group. In 1942, Pelley was indicted in Indiana for sedition, convicted, and sentenced to 15 years in jail." wolfsonian.org/blog/2020/19/
And I must point out — again — that the Silver Shirts and "I AM" are not just *like* QAnon and the current round of nonsense, but rather directly related through a shared, common network. It is the *same* phenomenon, threatening us again. But this time we aren't stopping it.
Here's the full image of Pelley's wanted poster. Why not one for Gen. Flynn?

1/For a deeper understanding of the networks that led to January 6th, it's worth reading these comprehensive FBI primary source files on the "I AM" movement and on Robert LeFevre's "Freedom School". LeFevre helped lead the "I AM" movement and was indicted in 1940 for his role.
2/Koch Industries was connected to both movements and provided substantial funding to LeFevre, along with Roger Milliken. Here's 215 (truly fascinating) pages on the Freedom School that provide background on the early days of American 'libertarianism.' documents.theblackvault.com/documents/fbif…
3/And here are 750+ pages on the so-called "Mighty I AM" movement which was truly the QAnon of its day, was seen as a major threat to the war effort — and went on to provide underpinnings for QAnon itself. documents2.theblackvault.com/documents/fbif…
This network map connects Agora, CIA, Alex. Brown, CNP, and the so-called “PayPal mafia.” All part of the network that brought us January 6th. More on this in my new piece on Rey Rivera...
Occupy Wall Street was a lie, and a substantial portion of the people involved in its organizational tier were actual hardline libertarian fascists and/or propagandists. This will be borne out the coming months. Meantime, question those who won't talk about their involvement.
🧵 1/A READING LIST: Understanding #Jan6 and the info operations that contributed to it requires going beyond the chatter on Twitter and Reddit and actually digging into history. Here is a list of books that I think are essential. Your suggestions are welcome also!
2/I recommend Shadow Network by @anelsona as a baseline set of knowledge to understand the Council for National Policy, and where it came from. Updated edition available in paperback next month, also. goodreads.com/en/book/show/4…
3/Now let's go back in time... Check out Seven Days (1962) in May by Fletcher Knebel and Charles W. Bailey II, which outlines fears that anti-communist zealots in the military + intel world may overthrow the US government. goodreads.com/book/show/1153…
🧵 1/THE FINANCIAL ATTACK: This is a work in progress, intended to elicit additional information. We have seen many indications that the CNP/Koch network is staging a series of plays designed to undermine the financial system and bolster non-state cryptocurrencies.
2/This is an overt statement that they are pushing in this direction. They literally describe here a "distributed future," by which they mean "a world without central banks" (and central bankers) and based on non-state cryptocurrency. Is this the future we want? We must discuss.
3/Old-time CNP/Western Goals/Birch Society thought-leader G. Edward Griffin is saying the same thing. He calls out central banks and expresses clear preference for metals (silver, gold) and non-state cryptocurrencies in this video.
1/Today, I will be joining as a guest on "The Farm" podcast. In preparation, I have been listening to their excellent series on the World Anti-Communist League. These long, deep dives explore the real history that informs the present moment. I've linked to each episode below.
