#SeditionHunters - let’s revisit the 1st Amendment Praetorian “security force”, now working July 4th rallies! We called this guy #ShadowFlynn because he’s always at Michael Flynn’s side; his 1AP nickname may be “Yoda”. Below is Dec. 12. On Jan 6, he was at the Capitol alone... 1/
...roaming widely & seeming to coordinate action. Will show 3 sightings that are pretty suspicious. First: around 1:15 PM on the East Plaza, #ShadowFlynn texts intently while the crowd talks about Congressional action: “Arizona is up for play!” (AZ challenge was at 1:12) 2/
#ShadowFlynn's sighting at 1:15 PM is also right as fighting stalled on the West Plaza. As #ShadowFlynn passes by, the inciter #CountResisto shouts on his bullhorn: “reinforcements around back!... They need some support around back!” For full context: 3/
#ShadowFlynn then makes his way to the West lawn, where he paces for several minutes, talking urgently on the phone. Spectators comment on his earpiece and conversation: “He says that they’re still coming on in”. He’s so professional they assume he is Secret Service. 4/
#ShadowFlynn's call was around 2:04 PM, just as the East Capitol steps were breached. Minutes later the NW Stairs were also taken and Proud Boys and other leaders headed East. #ShadowFlynn must have gone too... 5/
... because he’s soon seen again at the East steps. At 2:40 PM, exactly one minute after the E. main doors were breached, #ShadowFlynn walked alone away from the scene of the battle, toward the Capitol SE courtyard, presumably headed for his next post. 6/
How did #ShadowFlynn get so important? We know he’s an “OG”: he’s with 1AP from their first activities in Oct 2020, at #BrandonStraka’s “Walkaway” rallies (R photo is Phoenix, 10/18/20). (Note: Straka was arrested for fighting with cops on the Capitol steps on Jan 6.) 7/
On Jan 5 in DC, #ShadowFlynn was at the Freedom Plaza rally with Michael Flynn (L, photo by Matt Couch). Staci Burk, AZ law student and contributor to failed election-fraud lawsuits, also posted a backstage photo. She claims to have 1AP protection from #ShadowFlynn (R).. 8/
Burk claims in a somewhat unhinged Feb. letter that “by the end of November I had a full-time security team of 3-5 former top law enforcement and military individuals… (sent by General Flynn and Sidney [Powell] from an organization called 1 A Praetorians)” (Posted on FB) 9/
In May, Burk denied being in DC & feuded with the Flynns, posting supposed Joe Flynn voicemail (he “finally talked with Flynn and Yoda..”) In June: “The 1AP guy I have trusted the most…is currently in Ukraine..for top secret activities” She’s not exactly a reliable source...10/
...her election-fraud “evidence” certainly wasn’t worth much! But Staci aside, #ShadowFlynn does seem central to 1AP activities. Why was Michael Flynn's personal security man at the Capitol on Jan 6, seeming to coordinate? It's alarming on many levels. 11/ azmirror.com/blog/judge-tos…
We’ll keep updating this thread as more is known. Note that timing of ~1:15 and ~2:04 PM videos here is still rough. The 2:40 PM vid (link below) is well-timed by sync’ing to continuous timestamped footage from @wusa9, so helpful for #SeditionHunters! 13/

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/
This headline about how Trump lied about nearly dying in a helicopter crash gives major deja vu. Sure, today he mixed up Jerry Brown vs. Willie Brown. But there may be a deeper brain scramble going on. Trump famously lied about nearly dying in a helicopter crash in 1989. 1/
In Oct 1989, as Trump's casinos were edging into bankruptcy, 3 of his top casino execs died in a crash of a helicopter chartered by the Trump Org. The rotor simply fell off. Trump soon began telling reporters he was scheduled to be on the flight too. 2/ pressofatlanticcity.com/3-trump-execs-…
Trump's story of miraculously cheating death got a lot of press, even though other Trump execs contradicted his story almost immediately. It was a big deal; it got national-level coverage. In an old man losing his memories, this helicopter story might still remain. 3/
