That feels like a... "bad"... percentage 😳

NBC:
(PS) I say this as someone with zero interest in UFOs or UAPs, so maybe someone will come along and tell me that 1 out of 144 is actually fantastic
(PS2) Like, if it's the Russians/Chinese, 1 out of 144 is bad. If it's aliens, 1 out of 144 is bad. Especially as the report appears to say virtually all 144 were strongly corroborated as "physical objects," not sensor noise or a play of light or whatever. So, yeah, 1 out of 144.
(PS3) FWIW, I don't think it's aliens. (I have no frickin' idea what it is.) But the federal government has really, really, *really* underscored here that it doesn't either, which feels like big news either way.

PROOF is taking it slow and steady. I'm not yet convinced Daniel Bostic was in the Willard war room as some have said, but I'm trying to run it down. That said, an eighth member of the war room *will* be revealed—and discussed at length—at PROOF next week. Sethabramson.substack.com
It's increasingly clear that the Willard Hotel was *the* Trump "command center" on Insurrection Day. (Trump International Hotel was the most active war room on Insurrection Eve, and the White House the most active one from December 21 through January 4.) So this research matters.
The Holy Grail is placing dangerous far-right domestic-extremist militants inside Trump's Willard Hotel command center on Insurrection Day. By the end of next week—based on what PROOF will publish and what others are working on—the Grail will have been both found and made public.

(🆚) PROOF UNLOCKED: If it's the weekend, it's "Lost Classics of the 1960s"! I think you'll love this entry—especially its range, from the proto-New Wave/glam-punk art-rock of Roxy Music to Irish psychedelia, a cut off the best-ever 60s LP and *much* more. sethabramson.substack.com/p/lost-classic…
(PS) And yes, the best-ever 60s LP *can* be "obscure" and a "lost" classic—because this decade of music is still so misunderstood!
(PS2) My implicit (now explicit, I guess) goal with this running music-curation series is to offer at least *one* song to every listener—in every entry of "Lost Classics of the 1960s"—about which they (you) say, "I've never heard of that song, or even that band... and I love it!"

Some great stuff here. But it's also striking how much was previously published in PROOF, and how much is missing. Stockton and Lawrence aren't identified as Bannon (Trump's top post-election advisor) associates? Wren isn't identified as Guilfoyle's agent? propublica.org/article/new-de…
Stockton and Lawrence have said that they were at the Willard waiting for "marching orders" on January 6, but here they sound like mere observers. Wren is made to sound like a rogue operator. Essentially, agents of more powerful people are made to seem like independent operators.
Alex Jones was investigated by police for physically threatening Kremer at the December 12 Stop the Steal event in DC—the *real* trial run for January 6, and almost completely ignored here. Alexander and Jones didn't get bumped from the Ellipse until much later than it says here.

(🆚) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Team Trump and Stop the Steal Premeditated Blaming the Insurrection on Antifa

They had a Plan B and executed it. They falsely accused antifa of having plants in the Capitol—because it's exactly what they did. Please share widely. sethabramson.substack.com/p/major-breaki…
1/ Giuliani broadcast Trump's first "defense" video from the then-president's "war room"/"command center" at the Willard Hotel on January 8. The defense had three parts. PROOF dismantled and disproved—and showed the plotting behind—the first one here (🆚): sethabramson.substack.com/p/breaking-new…
2/ In dismantling and disproving the second and third parts—and with help from PROOF readers, who've become one of the most incredible insurrection-researching teams in America—a plot was revealed to present artificial Team Trump/Stop the Steal propaganda as "proof" of innocence.

PROOF now has so much news to break I'm falling behind.

PROOF's readers have *got* to be the best OSINT researchers in U.S. media right now.

A major update on a prior story is coming in about an hour. I'm trying to make these BREAKING NEWS stories shorter so I can get them out.
(PS) My patience for conversations about professionals being paid for their work is over. I've been a working journalist for 27 years. I teach journalism at an R1. I give away almost all my content. Those who complain about the last 10% being behind a low paywall will be blocked.
(PS2) I'm sorry to institute this policy, but I'm sick of being harassed daily. If you don't like my free content here on the feed, unfollow; if you don't think 72% of PROOF being free is enough, don't subscribe; if you come here to angrily demand free labor, you will be blocked.

(🆚) BREAKING NEWS: A Fire Set on January 5 Outside the Willard Hotel May Have Helped Spark the Bloody Events of January 6

Given who was behind it—and why—I can't believe this January 5 event hasn't gotten more coverage. I hope you will share this widely. sethabramson.substack.com/p/breaking-new…
1/ This is just Part 1 of a 2-part PROOF exclusive, but already it has everything: a federal crime, a clash with police, plotting by InfoWars and the Proud Boys—two of the chief groups behind the insurrection—white supremacists, a mob. It's insane—and hasn't been reported before.
2/ The mystery of Roger Stone's January 6 actions is solved with this report (both parts). The degree of Team Trump's knowledge of what was going to happen on January 6 becomes clear. And Part 2 has a new piece of video that changes the insurrection narrative and *significantly*.
