If there's a type of newsletter you can be certain isn't on Facebook, it's one that runs a comprehensive investigation of the January 6 insurrection. Facebook has said that it will have no political or controversial newsletters—a pretty weird flex, but OK. Sethabramson.substack.com
(PS) Don't get me wrong: I have no doubt that the type of person who's still using Facebook regularly in 2021 will love the sort of content that Facebook plans to put out through its "noncontroversial" newsletters. I think the most dynamic content will continue to be on Substack.
(PS2) By "dynamic" I of course don't mean the disingenuous clickbait a bad actor like Glenn Greenwald or Bari Weiss pumps out daily. I'm referring to substacks by folks like Tim Snyder, Virginia Heffernan, E. Jean Carroll, Neko Case, Patti Smith, Roxane Gay, Dan Rather and so on.
(PS3) "Danger, Will Robinson!" From the New York Times:

"Facebook has not said when or what it will charge [its newsletter] creators in the future."

I guess anyone who trusts Facebook "with no questions asked" has nothing to worry about... 🙄
(PS4) NYT: "Facebook has a shaky history of partnerships. It struck deals that paid orgs to broadcast live videos—but later backpedaled. It also made overtures to publishers to produce shows. It dialed that back too—leaving some orgs that committed to the effort in dire straits."

(🆚) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Far-Right Militants Were in Trump's Insurrection Week Command Center

With each day, PROOF gets closer—via images, videos, and transcripts—to putting Trump at the heart of the planning for the insurrection. I hope you'll RT this. sethabramson.substack.com/p/major-breaki…
1/ The information PROOF readers now know about the planning of the insurrection that goes beyond what's routinely available in major media is now as large in size and scope as either the Mueller Report or the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Report about Trump and Russia.
2/ In this second part of a 3-part epic exposé of events at the Willard Hotel on January 5, January 6, January 7, and January 8, PROOF identifies 3 more members of Trump's secretive war room and introduces 2 new key far-right orgs that had a *significant* presence at the Willard.

I'm aghast. Michael Wolff wrote a full-throated exoneration of Trump that gets every fact about January 5 and 6 wrong. Per usual, he does it giving no sense of who his source is (typically Bannon). Sorry, but JFC, if you want truth and 1000+ named sources: sethabramson.substack.com
(PS) I'm not just saying this now. Back in January, I said that 2021 would be too early for any legitimate book about the insurrection because it would take 2-3 years for all the facts to come out. I said we needed a careful, methodical investigation—which is why I started PROOF.
(PS2) A legitimate book on January 6 would be published in 2024 at the earliest and require at least 1000 pages in one volume or 600+ pages in each of two volumes. It would *have* to have publicly available sourcing or at least a quote-specific categorization of types of sources.

(🆚) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: Trump Was in Contact with Insurrectionist Leaders on Insurrection Eve

Ivanka possibly lying in a depo went viral this morning. The bigger news that Trump contacted insurrectionist leaders on Insurrection Eve should go viral now. sethabramson.substack.com/p/major-breaki…
1/ Mountains of evidence—all compiled by PROOF, with full sourcing—now establishes that Insurrection Day was the work of coordination between the White House, Stop the Steal, InfoWars and the Proud Boys, with the Oath Keepers, Three Percenters, QAnoners and 1AP in support roles.
2/ Donald Trump was *personally* in *direct contact* with Stop the Steal leaders from InfoWars—men who were atop both entities—on December 28, January 3, January 5, and January 6 *at a minimum*. These men incited the insurrection, and *three* helped lead the march on the Capitol.

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.

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.

(🆚) 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!"
