#SeditionHunters - a mob of thousands marched on the Capitol today...of Brazil. Still trying to parse the story but the unpopular Bolsonaro seems to follow the U.S. playbook: attacks on state institutions & laws, massed crowds, manufactured spectacle. 1/

If there's any doubt that Brazil is copying the U.S, consider the costumes chosen. The sign at L is in support of Congressman Daniel Silveira, former military police, arrested for threatening a justice on Brazil's Supreme Court. From newspaper O Globo. 2/

Former Trump adviser Jason Miller was in Brazil, met with Bolsonaro, then was detained and questioned for 3 hours at the Brasilia airport, supposedly at the order of threatened Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. 3/

As in the U.S., the Brazilian actions of Sept. 7 were openly planned. Long thread below from Brian Mier of @teleSURenglish starts Sept. 5 discussing the planned occupation of the Supreme Court. (Note - this news source is new to me, but seems solid). 4/
In the end no overt violence seems to have happened in Brasilia today, but the events in Brazil are a reminder that Jan 6 is not a "one and done" - its consequences continue to ripple out, in the U.S. and across the world. 5/
h/t @visionsurreal for tipping the TeleSur thread, which is a good read. Given the connections between Trump and Bolsonaro, and ongoing efforts to discredit election integrity in both countries, it's worth paying attention to Brazil. 6/

#SeditionHunters - FBI has released chilling new surveillance cam video of #FBI174AOM and #FBI175AOM, who seem to lie in wait for the news photographer they attacked. 1/
Sandy Weyer of PA was previously arrested, potentially to aquire her footage of this same assault. These two (174, 175) have been a longstanding ID problem. Their deliberateness, the covid masks, the concealement, suggest more than just normies. 2/
And, face shots are available now from @seditionhunters. 3/

#SeditionHunters - we knew that PA State Sen #IamDougMastriano, former Army Lt. Col, was present at the Jan 6 attack, walked around the Capitol, & saw the NE barricade breach firsthand. Now @K2theSky and team show that he was on the E Plaza to watch the stairs breach as well. 1/
After Trump's speech, Mastriano rode a VIP golf cart from the Ellipse to the W. Capitol like the high-level #SeditionVIP that he is, then did a grand tour of the successive breaches. K2's team track his circuit. (Video by @CoryCullington.) 2/
Mastriano's golf cart meant he would have arrived in plenty of time for the 1:47 PM breaking of police lines under the NW Scaffold. He then followed organized instigators around to the NE barricades, crossed police lines in the breach, & stayed for the taking of the E. stairs. 3/

#SeditionHunters - last night's arrest of LA extremist David Dempsey shows the power of the crowd. He covered his face fully on Jan 6, viciously attacked at the tunnel. His tag #FlagGaiterCopHater announced Jan 19; his ID an obsessive quest for many.. 1/
justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…
The call went out Jan 19 to match #FlagGaiterCopHater to photos from previous rallies, look for similar gear. Many of these extremists keep the same clothes, armor, have clear face shots on other dates... 2/
Feb 20 someone found a Jan 6 interview of #FlagGaiterCopHater next to the gallows, describing how he wanted to hang members of Congress. Still has his gaiter over his face. 3/

Snopes is now validating #SeditionVIP's! Here they use #SeditionHunters' research to confirm that #IamTinaForte, who is challenging Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in the 2022 Congressional race (NY-14), was at the Capitol on January 6 (h/t @DianthaSol & many others who helped). 1/
Here is Tina Forte on the W. Capitol lawn shortly after the first barricade breaches. Filmer: "This is what happens when you storm the Capitol!" Forte: "That's right! This is what happens!" (find by @DianthaSol). 2/
..and from Tina's own livestream, at the Lincoln Memorial earlier in the morning Jan 6. "This is what Nancy Pelosi is doing to our Constitution! She's ripping our Constitution - she's destroying it!" The giant Pelosi poster is by Scott LoBaido. 3/

#SeditionHunters - House Select Jan 6 Committee drops the first requests for federal records, aiming to untangle potential organization of Capitol attack. Scott MacFarlane needs 8 tweets just to list them all. Focus is on overt attempts to prevent peaceful transfer of power. 1/
The J6 Committee request includes all records relating to Cindy Chafian from April 2020 to Jan 20, 2021. Also a huge list of rally speakers and VIPs. Looks like there will be a reckoning for the #SeditionVIP's, the top of the food chain. 2/
#SeditionHunters first broke the sighting of Chafian amidst the violence at the Capitol - the efforts of many people over many months to find, verify, analyze. Now confirmed independently by Raw Story who did their own careful, rigorous investigation. 3/

#SeditionHunters - DOJ has announced the arrest of #CamoCrazyEyes aka Benjamin Burlew, who helped attack two AP photographers. Wasn't hard to find since he self-doxxed multiple times, including on Twitter. Here is AP's own footage of the attack... 1/
Charging docs are up now. Burlew posted on Twitter Aug. 22th that he got his FBI visit "two days ago", using Twitter handle @ CamoCrazyEyeslovesgodandcountry. He is not well. 2/
justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…
#CamoCrazyEyes left a long Twitter trail of ravings behind him, along with multiple interviews... His ID and guilt are not in question. What is in question is whether we can prosecute those in back who helped make this madness. 3/
