#SeditionHunters - gofers like #LemonyKickit can be more important than VIPs for understanding the Capitol attack! He shows the planning & coordination. Watch him run all over the grounds live-streaming & following orders in new reel by @StevieG54099097 1/
#LemonyKickit’s zig-zag path also shows the Capitol attack did not go as fast as planned. During the drawn-out W. Plaza fight, he & pal #LemonZest spend an hour taking phone calls & reversing direction, waiting to move East. 2/
At 1:20 PM #LemonyKickit's part of a charge East that we call “Exodus 0.5": flag wavers signal & people flood onto the NW lawn (L). But the rush is called off, maybe because the Plaza fight was slow. Lemony takes a call; everyone backtracks; by 1:26 the lawn is clear again (R) 3/
Lemony goes out to the far edge of the W. lawn for a meeting (1:40 PM, L), then back in to film on the W. Plaza while fighters launch an organized attack on police guarding the NW Scaffold. After the mob breaks police lines, he’s seen heading out again (1:50 PM, R)... 4/
… for the true “Exodus 1”: by 1:54 #LemonyKickit is waiting at the NE corner, along with some other well-studied perps. If you look closely in this video you can see #ZZTopPB signaling on the left. A few minutes later they will both start the breaches on the East Plaza. 5/
#LemonyKickit rushes to the E. stairs to film, then pushes to the front & helps break the police line. He runs up, cuts right, & changes roles: 20 minutes later he’s back for the attack on the E. door, now without the camera, in a neck gaiter and wearing ballistic glasses. 6/
If #LemonyKickit is a gofer, his boss needs to see him! His bright yellow Gadsden hat is easy to track. At the end of the day, though, after police have re-taken the Capitol, he makes a more discreet exit wearing a black hat instead. 7/
So mid-level perps are instructive - and should make excellent cooperating witnesses. For another, see updated reel on #MaroonPB, who bosses his fellow Proud Boys & busts barricades on both sides of the Capitol. @AE06788511 found Lemony, let’s find more 8/
As always, many many people in the #SeditionHunters community contributed to finding footage; this is a true crowdsourced effort. @JohP123's sharp eyes found Lemony in the black hat. All video sources are fully documented in notes field. 9/
The hope is to get more of these made - more video editors have volunteered, thank you! As reels and maps are made we'll get them posted up on each perp's page on jan6attack.com. 10/

Sure, it's funny that Fox News is now using "86" in talking about a fired reporter, when less than a month ago they demanded the FBI investigate "86" as a death threat. But the joke is on us. Performative outrage over bullshit is a test of YOU, to see if you'll accept it. 1/
You can't criticize Fox's words as hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is when someone committed to the truth is inconsistent. Fox and others are post-truth: they're just making noises to see if they can get you to react. They're gaming you. 2/
All of us have a psychological need for rationality. We need to feel that words have meaning, that people mean what they say. We do understand that people lie: a lie is a meaningful but false statement, to deceive. But what Fox is doing here is worse, and harder to cope with. 3/
ABC's explanation of why they suspended correspondent Terry Moran misuses the word "objective". Moran said Stephen Miller was a "world-class hater" and "his hatreds are his spiritual nourishment". Those are objectively true statements. Miller's hatred is deeply documented. 1/
Moran ascribed to Miller an emotion: "hatred". A decade of reporting has documented, objectively, that Miller hates. In 2018, LA Mag interviewed his high school classmates and reported their stories of how Miller hated minorities. "Hate" is their word. 2/ lamag.com/politics/steph…
Terry Moran also said that for Stephen Miller, "hatred is his spiritual nourishment". That's colorful language, but also documented. Here's a high school classmate of Miller's with a story of Miller saying awful, provocative things to immigrants: "he wanted to be hated". 3/
Reminder: Trump has tried this before. It's part of his dream of control, to send in the National Guard against the will of a state or mayor. On May 29, 2020, he Tweeted the threat: "Any difficulty and we will assume control but, when the looting starts, the shooting starts.." 1/
Trump has also overtly sought a Secretary of Defense willing to order the National Guard to shoot at protestors. In 2020 he fired Mark Esper and put in Chris Miller for that reason. Pete Hegseth may face a terrible test now. 2/
On Jan 6, the National Guard arrived late likely because sane heads in the Pentagon delayed them til local police had regained control, out of fear of what Trump might order. There are fewer sane heads now. Hegseth is already failing his test. 3/
Howard Lutnick, our Sec. of Commerce, shows a disconnect from material reality that will make Americans die. A weather forecast cannot be "automated" or MADE AT ALL without data. And Trump is cutting the satellites and weather stations that provide that data. 1/
Lutnick, who is in charge of NOAA and its National Weather Service, seem to think that if you say "web" and "cloud" and "computer" and "AI" then by some magic knowledge appears. But weather forecasts depend on MEASUREMENTS. Which Lutnick is cutting. 2/ kcci.com/article/propos…
The proposed NOAA budget cuts both current satellite operations and planned future satellites meant to make better predictions. Lutnick's testimony suggests: people have forgotten that not everything is a simulation, that reality exists (and bites). 3/ spacenews.com/omb-suggests-n…
Since Frank Luntz is defending Elon Musk, a recap: Luntz, like Roger Stone, was one of "Arthur's boys", mentored by Arthur Finkelstein, the dark lord of negative campaigns who (tho gay and Jewish), pushed homophobic far-right extremists - and gave us Orban, Netanyahu, & Trump. 1/
It was the Jewish Arthur Finkelstein who created the antisemitic George Soros conspiracy, to propel Victor Orban to power. Anything to get his clients elected. Everything Luntz says now is shaded by that history. 2/ buzzfeednews.com/article/hnsgra…
It was Arthur Finkelstein who brought in Roger Stone's partner Paul Manafort - who had been working for a pro-Russian politician in Ukraine - as Trump's first campaign manager. 3/
Exactly as predicted, now that DOGE has scraped all your personal data from government agencies, it is being given to Peter Thiel's Palantir. It was always going to be Peter, who dreamed of dictatorship for decades, patiently built up his "political project" to seize power. 1/
The NYT doesn't say HOW it was decided to give Palantir all your personal data, only that it was a no-bid contract directed by "Elon Musk's DOGE". (DOGE was always a project of Peter's too.) But Thiel had installed a protege to do just this. 2/ nytimes.com/2025/05/30/tec…
One of Trump's first actions as president was to install Greg Barbaccia, a longtime Palantir employee, as US Federal Chief Information Officer, with power to direct US software systems. This account called it: he was there to give Palantir your data. 3/
