1/ I'm going to share a few thoughts on the far-right convergence in Washington, DC.

If you haven't heard about it, see below for a snapshot:

2/ January 6th was a test of the system - a system which almost failed.

We believe September 18th is going to be a similar, yet different show.

3/ There are reports across the country of the far right showing up to "free their political prisoners".

This isn't about testing local law enforcement; though, we're certain they will.

4/ This is about handing the far right a megaphone once again, to shout their terrible, hateful messages. It's an opportunity for them to commit violence against the most vulnerable community members. Typically these groups attack houseless people and BIPOC.

5/ Their intent is also to test the system.

What's going to happen in the remnants of January 6th? How have response protocols changed? Will anything be done in advance?

6/ After the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, VA where a neo-Nazi murdered Heather Heyer, they tried round two.

Counter protesters showed up in mass and shut down their alt-right message.

7/ In 2021, the challenge is, to show out.

Liberals are back at brunch. Some were willing to show up to oppose the alt-right when Trump was in office, but will they do the same with Biden holding the presidency?

8/ Or, are they also waiting to see what the government is going to do, and put it all on those in elected office?

9/ Here are some predictions of what will take place:
- Every far right streamer we know (and don't know) will likely be around streaming
- They will look for any opportunity to tailor situations to their choosing, get hooked directly into far-right media, and propagandize it

10/ There is a new (but old) element that has been increasingly coming out of the woodwork.

That element is Ammon Bundy's Peoples' Rights group.

Bundy is a far-right anti-government extremist and the movement he's leading has deadly consequences.

11/ The Peoples' Rights network is bringing in other far right groups.

They seemed to have a practice run in Vancouver WA on Friday and Olympia WA on Saturday.

They don't care about masks. They don't care about vaccines. They don't care about life. They care about themselves.

12/ Some may not even care that much.

You'll notice these groups are filled with people who have violent histories, convictions for assault and battery, manslaughter, murder, sexual assault, domestic violence, and some still awaiting trial for January 6th.

13/ You have a section of the population that has grown so radicalized, that you cannot reason with them. They don't believe in news that isn't what they want to hear, or something advantageous to their cause.

These are the people that are going to show up in DC with a megaphone

14/ I don't have any faith that the government is going to do anything except "stand back and stand by" while an army of fascists shows back up to take the streets in DC.

All of us have a choice. Free will. Are you going to let them take the streets? Or no?

15/ What do you think the consequences are going to be if they show up, and demonstrate that they can hold a fascist rally in DC the same year they hung gallows outside of Congress, hell bent on murdering politicians to stop an election?

16/ I don't have a lot of answers, but I do have some.
- Be communicative about what you're hearing from these far-right groups
- Know the people, tactics, methods, diversions, etc
- Keep your eyes on local activity in the case of diversions (local and federal protests)

17/ Smash fascism.

This is a three way fight. The fash want to fight both the left and the state at the same time.

Is the state going to put up a fight? I don't think so.

I think the responsibility is going to fall on our shoulders yet again. I fear it may be messy as hell.

18/

Also, I'm not here to sell you something.

I see these notes from well-to-do libs who have money & possessions; who look down the end of their noses at those who take action

Your choice to get involved or not isn't relevant. They're already coming for you. So - FIGHT THEM BACK!
