I realize I sound like a broken record, but bad things are on the horizon.

We've normalized the radicalization of a major political party.

If those in power don't face this threat head-on, more political violence is inevitable.

🚨Thread🚨
1/ The FBI has issued a serious warning about QAnon followers.

"The plan" never came to fruition, so those radicalized by the movement will feel an obligation to take matters into their own hands.

This means engaging in real-world violence.
2/ Accelerationists recognized QAnon as a recruitment opportunity.

This violent right-wing ideology believes that governments are irreparably corrupt, so the only solution is to "accelerate their demise by sowing chaos and creating political tension."
vox.com/the-highlight/…
3/ Flynn has always been one QAnon's most trusted figures. He even owns the trademark on "Digital Soldiers".

His exoneration was one of the only parts of "the plan" that came to pass.

Lots of Q iconography features three stars, for his military rank.
4/ Before J6, Flynn Tweeted the below press release asking Trump to declare Martial Law and hold a new election.

Flynn also met with Trump at the White House and tried to get him to invoke the Insurrection Act.
5/ Indictments revealed that the Oath Keepers were carefully listening to Flynn's rhetoric escalate.

They stashed weapons in hotels and had a "quick reaction force" ready to descend on DC if Trump invoked the Insurrection Act.

6/ The Oath Keepers aren't just a random group of white supremacists.

Roger Stone hired them as personal security guards at several rallies leading up to the Jan 6 Coup attempt.

Having lost faith in Trump, they're looking to Stone and Flynn for signals.
motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
7/ So... what signals are they getting?

For one, Stone is propping up Flynn as Trump's successor.

His use of the word "drafted" here has dark implications.

8/ Flynn was honored at a recent GOP fundraising event, and will appear at another with two sitting Senators: Cruz and Hawley.

These events follow his comment that a coup "should happen". All of this gives Flynn more legitimacy.
newsweek.com/josh-hawley-mi…
9/ The (implied) message being sent by the US Army is disturbing as well.

They've said that Flynn won't be investigated, and gave his brother command of 90,000 troops.

The extremists will interpret this as tacit approval of his comments.
cnn.com/2021/06/02/pol…
10/ Meanwhile, Ali Alexander is organizing on Telegram, literally calling for more violence to come.

In the bible, a "remnant" is the community leftover after it a catastrophe. This is clear Accelerationist signaling.
11/ What signals are they getting from Flynn?

The video below played before he spoke at the rally two weeks ago (where he made the coup comment). It's not subtle.

"The only way is the military"
"Insurrection to Resurrection"
"A new Capitol"

It's a call to violence.
12/ Extremist groups are going to see all of this as an opportunity.

It's dangerous to normalize Flynn's rhetoric. At the bare minimum he should be stripped of his military rank, a message needs to be sent.

Failure to do so will embolden those looking to engage in violence.

There’s a lot going on right now.

People make their jokes, but when conversations get honest everyone says the same: they're scared, exhausted, and know we're on the cusp of everything getting much worse.
In response to the mental onslaught of so much happening all at once, our media has transformed into a white noise machine calibrated to drown out the death knells.
Every day feels harder to face, frivolous to the point of absurdity.

Instead of waking up we slam that snooze button, and slip into an alternate dimension where time is in abundance.

Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch, and Alan Greenberg are longtime associates of Jeffrey Epstein/Ghislaine Maxwell.

However, they're also all tied to another person known for controlling the powerful through connections and secrets. 1/
On May 2 1983, Trump, Murdoch, and Greenberg were all "Honorary Chairmen" for this event, a dinner held in honor of Roy Cohn.

Small world, being so close with multiple notorious blackmailers who happen to have ties to the intelligence community and organized crime. 2/
Of course, we shouldn't confuse Roy Cohn for Craig Spence, who was also known for blackmailing the powerful.

The lines can get blurry as there's a lot of overlap in terms of tactics, social circles, and a general conspiracy of silence. 3/

August 3, 1983 - William J. Casey and his wife attend a reception in honor of Roy Cohn hosted by Craig Spence. Image
August 4, 1983 - President Reagan and Nancy Reagan greet Donald Trump during a reception for Eureka College Scholarship recipients in the State Dining Room.

Cohn was on the Eureka College Scholarship committee, Trump was a donor. ImageImage
They didn't both attend in 1983, but Cohn and Trump both went to the Eureka College Scholarship Reception the previous year, on June 28, 1982.

These New York guys must have been quite passionate about the Illinois liberal arts college. ImageImageImage

Well... I'm sure this won't be misconstrued and used by accelerationists, #disinfo grifters, or fascists to rile up their followers.
Seriously though, this is going to travel very fast in the worst circles and ratchet up the paranoia.

One such organization is the Texas School Safety Center, a non-profit funded by the government.

The Texas Education Agency puts their website under "Student Discipline" resources.

🧵 Image
The "Office of the Attorney General" has been a part of the TxSSC Advisory Board since its inception, and their Twitter feed is full of copaganda. ImageImageImageImage
After the massacre in Uvalde, they were quick to provide interviews to CBS, NBC, the Texas Tribune, and other outlets.

Spoiler: They suggested more training. Image

"We knew it might take 5 or 10 or 20 years, yet gradually an authoritarian state arose within the democratic state, and a nucleus of fanatical devotion and ruthless determination formed in a wretched world that lacked basic convictions."
"Only one danger could have jeopardised this development — if our adversaries had understood its principle, established a clear understanding of our ideas, and not offered any resistance."
"Or, alternatively, if they had from the first day annihilated with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our new movement.

Neither was done. The times were such that our adversaries were no longer capable of accomplishing our annihilation, nor did they have the nerve."
