On October 10, 2020 there was a ‘Patriot Muster’ rally put on by a group called United American Defense Force. The rally was in Denver, CO. The UADF was led by a former Benghazi security contractor named John Tiegen. You’re gonna wanna read this one.🧵👇🏻
You may recall during 2020 there were many protests. The George Floyd protests took place over the summer. Armed men dressed in battle fatigues were patrolling gas stations in Kentucky. Armed men dressed in battle fatigues stormed various State Houses.
As a matter of fact 2020 was so nuts, just 2 days before the UADF’s Patriot Muster in Colorado, the FBI released a statement about a plot to kidnap The Governor of Michigan. Crazy, right? Like, super nuts.
A local news team was covering that UADF rally in Colorado on October 10, 2020, and because things were becoming so unpredictable at protests, and this one was a call to action for armed supporters to gather publicly, the news team hired security.
UADF has been called a militia. There were Oathkeepers and 3%ers at their rally. You may remember the rally when I tell you that the security hired by the news team shot and killed a man who was spraying that news team with bear mace. coloradotimesrecorder.com/2020/10/conser…
Also in October of 2020 a company that had been kicking around since June called FEC United became a corporation (received IRS numbers). FEC United was founded by a guy named Joe Oltmann. According to Oltmann, FEC United is a community company.
Oltmann describes it as a ‘mobilization model.’ It has around 200,000 members around the nation. He says if your kid goes to school and they are talking about implementing critical race theory, we (FEC United) can send parents there.🤔
When asked during a recent deposition why he started FEC United, Oltmann says it was because he got involved in the ‘Reopen’ movement. Oltmann helped to start the Reopen Movement throughout the country. Part of their motivation is to keep masks off of kids.📌1
FEC United shares office space with a PIN Business Network in Colorado. PIN Business Network is also a Joe Oltmann company. There are others. Joe Oltmann is also executive director of a thing called Trac5. Trac5 is described as ‘Jesus-Centric Diplomacy.’
But let’s not get distracted by whatever that means. Back to FEC United.
FEC needed to advertise, you know to get their anti-mask message out to angry parents, so they bought some ad time on a podcast called Conservative Daily.
FEC United spent about $500 on ads. Well, they didn’t because they didn’t have any money, so they had an agreement with a company called CD Solutions. They would pay. CD Solutions is a company run by…want to guess? It’s Joe Oltmann. Seedy Solutions. Am I pronouncing that right?
The FEC United board consists of Henry Allen, Rayanne Weber, Joe Oltmann (chairman), Kevin Jenkins, and John Tiegen. They have 1 employee, Stephanie Wheeler, who is director of communications. FEC United is mostly volunteers, Oltmann does not get paid from FEC United.
Or does he? Because do you remember the Conservative Daily podcast that was getting $500 from CD Solutions for FEC ads to run? It’s Joe Oltmann’s podcast. Actually, he goes by Joe Otto on the Conservative Daily podcast. 🤔 does CD in the CD Solutions stand for Conservative Daily?
Not only was Oltmann discussing FEC United on his own Conservative Daily podcast he appeared on shows w/Michelle Malkin (white supremacy👀) and on Christian talk shows like Eric Metaxes’, too. On each, he mentioned FEC United. These were nat’l platforms. adl.org/blog/michelle-…
FEC United was also being discussed on Steve Bannon’s podcast, Mike Lindell’s symposium mentioned FEC United. While there may not have been spikes in the membership, it was steadily growing according to Oltmann. So what did members do? They went to meetings.
And at those meetings, FEC United scanned the drivers licenses of attendees.*
This seems pretty ironic considering this group argues masks infringe their freedom and you don’t have the right to ask about vax status.
*This is not a HIPAA violation in case anyone was wondering.
Speaking of HIPAA, the ‘H’ stands for Health. And speaking of Health, as you are painfully aware by now, Mike Flynn, and election fraud conspiracists Mike Lindell and Lin Wood were photographed together at the ‘Health and Freedom’ conference in front of a whiteboard.📌2
Don’t worry, you can always go back to that above embedded thread later because things are about to get interesting right here.
📌1 was about keeping masks off of kids faces. But it was also about Joe Oltmann and FEC United’s work in the Reopen Movement, to Reopen businesses without mask mandates during a deadly pandemic. Or as Joe Oltmann may call it as he did at that deadly UADF rally, a ‘Plandemic.’
‘Plandemic’ was a 26 minute video of disinformation full of conspiracies and anti vaccination sentiment. But you don’t have to take my word for it. You should consult the board certified doctors…on PubMed.
📌2 speaking of boards, remember Flynn, Lindell and Wood in front of a whiteboard? Well, if you take out the pardoned former NSA head, the pillows, and the soon to be disbarred lawyer you see this.👇🏻Each of the 10 blue highlights is a ‘Reopen’ contact. Green refers to Plandemic.
Some of the eagle-eyed among you have already noticed this, but if not, remember that United American Defense Force rally led by former Benghazi security contractor John Tiegen? He’s the same John Tiegen who is a board member of FEC United. Is the UADF militia and FEC partnered?
But wait…there’s more. Not only was Tiegen’s name familiar to you, but so was Oltmann’s this whole time. @SethAbramson reports him at the Willard on Jan 6th w/Rudy Giuliani, Russell Ramsland, OAN’s Christina Bobb, John Eastman and 1st Amendment Praetorian Philip Luelsdorff.
The bulk of this thread is comprised of information contained in depositions released through a defamation lawsuit called Eric Coomer v. trump, et al. Oltmann is named along with Rudy G, Sidney Powell, and OAN. Coomer worked for Dominion Voting Systems. courts.state.co.us/Courts/County/…
At the heart of that lawsuit sits election fraud conspiracies involving Coomer, Dominion, Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani’s Kraken, OAN, and Ramsland’s ASOG. You can read more about them here. Just take a deep breath before you get to the Steve Bannon stuff 👇🏻
Oltmann provided an affidavit to Sidney Powell about Eric Coomer, Dominion Voting Machines and Election Fraud. ASOG provided affidavits for Sidney Powell to use in the Kraken case in Michigan.
We have here a convergence of militia’s, anti-maskers, self-dealers, white suprematism, election fraud affidavits, Jesus-Centric Diplomacy🤷🏼♂️, connections to Mike Flynn’s cult psyop, right-wing propaganda media outlets and Insurrection.
🗣 🎙Is this thing on?
The @January6thCmte has not, as far as I have seen, subpoenaed or asked Oltmann for information. Perhaps they should ‘Reopen’ their thinking on that.🧵👆🏻
END
We are in the Both Sides Era. For what seems the past decade, we have been subjected to both sides of the news, normalizing the weird, accepting the inappropriate, and moving on from the unforgivable.
Both sides are not the same.
A wee Sunday morning coffee🧵👇🏻
We have been so conditioned to Both Sides everything that we immediately fall into one side or the other. We are sorting ourselves based on memes and shallow thinking. Reporters complaining about hotel experiences due to the DNC running late, isn’t news. That’s a yelp review.
Have you noticed trump is on both sides of every issue? Probably not, because the “press hasn’t yet learned how to report on trump.” Why is covering trump any different from what they learned in journalism school?
Why not ask him about his incongruities? Or a follow up question?
Did you ever hear the phrase: “they have so much money they don’t know what to do with it.”? Not a problem, I’ve ever run into myself, but Project 2025 is just that. Billionaires want to be bankers. They want to sell off our governmental oversight to private companies they own.
Here is Project 2025. There isn’t one part of our lives this won’t touch. Think it doesn’t mean you? There is no provision to exclude from its effects those who vote for fascism so choose your candidate wisely.
Here is the part where they will abolish the federal reserve. It will be replaced by currency they can “create” and then lend out at their own interest rates.
“There is no place for political violence” has been a pretty common refrain throughout the weekend. It really got me thinking. ”Political violence” must be one of those “you know it when you see it” types of things.
Let’s see…
🧵👇🏻
Political violence strikes me as a visual medium but there are so many things that occur before we see the blood that I think might be political violence. Are we just numb to it? How do we define what is political violence and what is just violence? Why is it different?
Are Texas Gov Greg Abbott’s razor balls floating in the river, considered “political violence”? Kind of. I mean, the idea is people from south of the US shouldn’t be allowed to come here and take our jobs.
Political.
To deter from this, razor balls in the river.
Violence.
There’s been a lot said about Joe Biden since the debate. I, along with so many of you, watched it play out in real time as respected news transmitters read out ‘inside texts’ from knee jerk reactionaries.
After much thought, I won’t be voting for Joe Biden because he’s old.
🧵👇🏻
I’ll be voting for Joe Biden because he’s team democracy. I’m voting for ideas he represents. I’m voting for the team of people he can put together. I’m voting for my own interests and for your ability to vote for your own interests. I didn’t vote for him last time either, btw.
In 2020, I voted for a November 5th, 2024 election. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were the only options on the ballot that allowed this. I colored in Joe and Kamala’s bubble to keep the lights on long enough for us to have this election. Like many of you, I voted team democracy.
I am loathe to do predictions. However, there are some things you just can’t help but see coming. Project 2025 is a blinking red alarm and we all need to be aware of the stakes of this election. Please familiarize yourself with EO11246, be discriminating voters.
A wee thread🧵👇🏻
On September 24th, 1965 President Lyndon Johnson signed Executive Order 11246. EO11246 established Equal Opportunity Employment. It includes Non-Discrimination in Government. It includes Non-Discrimination Employment by Government Contractors and Subcontractors.
Focus on Non-Discrimination Employment by Government Contractors and Subcontractors. In Sub Part B under Contractor’s Agreements, contractors agree to not discriminate against employees based on race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin.
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
Trust me…

The above is the oath the President takes at 12 noon on January 20. Typically, it is administered by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court but there is no law that makes that a requirement. You could have your gran do it. So why is it *usually* the Chief Justice?
For this thread let’s assume the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is there as a symbol of the law. Chief Justice Roberts in a way represents the Judicial Branch of our government on the day it grants power to the person who will symbolize the Executive Branch.
