#SeditionHunters - more sync'd Jan 6 video, 29 crucial minutes when police retook the Capitol building. Watch DC police, with FBI SWAT backup, flood into the Rotunda & push invaders out. Featuring Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, many hashtagged perps... 1/
All is calm at first, with Proud Boys (L) and Oathkeepers (R) casually standing around. #Rufio's group is still looking pretty composed around 3:02 PM... 2/
But police have been gathering: by 3 PM, FBI SWAT are waiting at one door while a group of MPD are pushing rioters through another. (That's Stephen Horn up there filming.) Watch at 1:23-1:24 in video as police practically throw #StringyPlaid & #UncagedBird into the Rotunda. 3/
The Proud Boys consult together at 3:03 PM & seem to plan a prudent exit without confronting police, while Oregon extremist David Medina (#FadedOrc) can't resist an aggressive confrontation. 4/
By 3:05 PM Riley June Williams (#GreenShirtStairmaster) is adding to her federal charges by fighting with officers (L). As the police push the crowd back you get great shots of many perps. Newly-arrested Glen Simon (#PurplePantherPunk) is in the purple gaiter at R. 5/
Active-duty Marine Major Chris Warnagiris (#YellowZipSkulker) doesn't seem to have a strategic plan, mostly stands around looking confused. L image is around 3:02, R around 3:05 PM. 6/
Meanwhile Ethan Nordean (#Rufio) and his crew discreetly exit around 3:09 PM, avoiding the mayhem to come. Here's an outside shot of Nordean and Paul Rae (#1776HatPB) headed north around 3:18 PM. (By 3:37 PM they've joined back up with #JoeBiggs and take a group photo.) 7/
Just as Nordean strolls away, the mob makes a new push through the E. main doors (the Columbus Doors) and breaks through again at 3:18 PM. That's Olympian Klete Keller at R in his USA Swimming jacket, watching the mob swarm in. 8/
Robert Gieswein (#WildDog) had returned to the Rotunda at 3:16 PM (L), maybe unwisely - he's just in time to get crushed when police regroup and retake the space (3:21 PM, R). 9/
The police pushback is caught on new surveillance footage: here's Vets for Trump's #IamAntonioLamotta INSIDE, seeming to negotiate with Capitol police. (If only the CP had bodycam!) LaMotta's out on bail for weapons charges from Nov., might not be out much longer though... 10/
...because by 3:27:40 PM #IamAntonioLamotta is seen actively fighting with police as he tries to squeeze out the Columbus Doors. Believe most judges would find that assault on a federal officer is not consistent with bail terms. 11/
Dear pundits saying no worries, Trump can't round up 10M migrants because their work is needed for the US economy: stop. Deporting people is hard. Locking people up and making them work, that's easy. Remember, MOST camps in Germany from 1938 were "Arbeitslager" - labor camps. 1/
It is critical to understand this and stop the bad takes. No one will put immigrants in camps and have them sit around. They will work in factories and on farms and in construction, without pay, just as happened in all prior historical examples. 2/ theholocaustexplained.org/the-camps/type…
Everyone now thinks of Germany's six extermination camps and their gas chambers: Auschwitz, Birkenau. But their bigger project was the hundreds of forced labor camps. At WWII's end they housed over 5M people, slaving to Make Germany Great Again. That's our analogy. 3/
This election won't see another Jan 6 - Trump can't raise a crowd. But there will be something new; his backers are desperate. In 2020 TX AG Ken Paxton was one of Trump's main allies. Now, 2 weeks before the election, Paxton previews a plan: to contest the Texas vote. 1/
The scariest players in 2020 weren't Proud Boys; they were rogue state attorneys general, led by Ken Paxton: elected officials all in for sedition. It was Paxton for Texas who sued to reject the votes of the swing states. What will he do this year? 2/ docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
On January 6 morning, as the mob gathered at the Capitol, Ken Paxton spoke at Trump's rally: "Texas fights...Twelve straight lawsuits...", claiming Trump won deep red Texas only because he averted fraud. What will he do in 2024 for Trump and Ted Cruz? 3/
Peter Thiel's sidekick Chuck Johnson is now accused of posing as an intelligence asset to defraud businesses. So let's ask: how in 2023 did SEVEN news outlets print Johnson's story that he and Thiel were working for the FBI, without calling his bs? 1/ semafor.com/article/10/16/…
The two outlets who named Johnson as their source are Business Insider and The Atlantic, but their stories were picked up by 5 others, and MANY outlets did worse: they printed versions of the story over April-Nov 2023 without naming sources. It was all bullshit - a campaign. 2/
When Johnson started calling reporters to say he and Thiel were Super Secret FBI Sources, they should have have known this was 1) bs and 2) a PR campaign by Thiel. They should have asked: why would Thiel do this? What is his goal? Every leak has a goal. 3/
People shocked by Evie magazine's article fawning over JD Vance's "classic beauty" and "blue laser beam...eyes that sent women swooning", please realize this is the same outfit that launched a menstrual cycle tracker funded by Vance's patron Peter Thiel. 1/
The propaganda efforts aren't even subtle. Evie (started 2018) is a pitch for the horseshoe left via a "wellness" magazine. The period tracker was spun up in 2022 ("women were tired of the pill"); they claimed they'd have 1M users in a year. They don't. 2/ futurism.com/neoscope/peter…
Evie's use of "blue laser beam eyes" for Vance is funny since that phrase is borrowed from the parody ZDF did of Peter Thiel using the James Bond theme song: "Immortal libertarian, so refreshingly Aryan... with blue laser eyes into human demise..." 3/
Skimming the Jack Smith filing, seems that Ken Chesebro (CC5 here, p. 53) was openly telling people his fake elector plan was a gambit to let Congressmen make false claims disputing the election. He seems to be clearly aware the votes were illegal. Not a good look. 1/
On p. 58: again, Chesebro knew the fake electoral votes were just a "pretext" for a fake fight to deny Biden the presidency. Interestingly, the same para says Trump was in "almost daily" contact with someone whose podcast spread the false claims - who? 2/ storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
On p. 59 we learn that Trump spoke directly and privately to Ken Chesebro (CC5), and that someone else closely involved (CC6) warned Chesebro to not talk about the plan in chat groups and to text about the fake electors to just a few people. They knew it was illegal. 3/
Today DOJ revealed a $10M op to use US podcasters to push Russian propaganda, since 2023. Let's remember that Lauren Southern, "Commentator-5", went to Moscow in 2018 to make a film to "correct " "America's irrational fear of Russia". This stuff has been going on for years. 1/
Today's indictment doesn't claim Southern knew her recent funders were Russian. But in 2018, she must have known. Daniel Lombroso says that when Southern got to Moscow, she was so dismayed that she dropped the film. So it wasn't her idea. Whose was it? 2/ archive.is/L0AOb
In 2018, Lauren Southern pivoted her film project to another favorite Russian theme: the danger of Islamic immigrants. Just when Scott Presler was starting an anti-Islam speaking tour at US colleges. Why are their talking points coordinated? Because someone's paying for them. 3/
