#SeditionHunters - the FBI motors forward, mopping up networks: today more of Zach Rehl's Philadelphia Proud Boys. The main 5 who move together are now all arrested. The 3 today all shared a Telegram chat with Rehl, easily picked up via his phone after his March arrest. 1/
All of Rehl's crew helpfully provided names, blood types, and emergency contact info in the group text, along with coordinated travel and discussion of radios. Combined with their group selfies, they practically write their own conspiracy indictments. 2/

Zach Rehl, Philly PB president, was first found inside the Capitol by @DianthaSol after a crowdsourced manhunt. His whole crew gathered in Sen. Merkley's office, familiar enough that they could be spotted even in black-and-white photos from the New Yorker... 3/
Now thanks to their selfies we can see the office scene in full color, complete with white power sign. Hashtags, L-R, are #LanyardPB (Healion), #KamikazePB (Vy, yes it's a terrible tag), #ZachRehlPB, and #NinjaRaphPB (Giddings). Breaking the PA network was a major goal. 4/
For militia groups who worked in coordination on Jan 6, bulk pickups are likely the norm. On the Proud Boys list, 42 of the 232 clear PBs (18%) are now arrested, with most of groups from FL, MO, PA, & PacNW. Would guess there'll be block arrests to come for NY, NJ, NC, & VA. 5/
To remember how long a road it's been and how far we've come, here's the moment when Zach Rehl was first found, on Feb. 25th. Don't be fooled by the slow pace of FBI, though - steamrollers are slow too. 6/
The working PB table is at bit.ly/CapitolPBTable. Details on individuals can be found at jan6attack.com or other websites; see Resources document in bit.ly/Jan6Analysis. 7/
The Philly crew is less tracked than Biggs' Florida PB group. Zach Rehl is at the police line on the Plaza til the fight goes bad ca. 1:15 PM, then is seen just in glimpses - in Merkely's office, outside again masked up at 2:47 PM (h/t @nine_niall). 8/
The timing of that video is suspicious: Rehl's crowd is fully masked up outside and pointing toward the NW Courtyard. Two minutes later, at 2:49 PM, the courtyard door is violently re-breached, pushing police back. That episode could use more eyes on it - is Rehl involved? 9/
To credit all: @CynthiaMTeague found the video, @Detrumpify_org re-upped it, and @LsquaredRE did the analysis of the Senate Wing Lobby that let people understand that the door was opened a second time in a deliberate, violent re-breach. 10/

As Elon Musk gives the Nazi salute in DC, let me just say that it was very clear, 4 years ago, at least to me, that Jan 6 was a precursor, and that this would be the result if we did not investigate it thoroughly - not the footsoldiers but the ones who gave orders that day. 1/
Some people say Jan 6 was more like the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch than the 1933 Reichstag fire, but either way, the analogy holds. The attack was planned; the Proud Boys were sub-contractors; there were people on the ground directing. And we missed it. 2/
Jan 6 is still relevant. Because there was so much effort to erase it, one key task is preserving its memory and its evidence. More broadly, resisting in a way that Germany did not in the 1930s. We need to read our history and listen to historians. 3/

To all who will read the Jack Smith report on Tuesday - be warned that it's even worse than expected on the physical attack. It's just wrong. Like this: the attack did not start with 1000s of people marching from the Ellipse. It started with a few hundred, led by Proud Boys. 1/ Image
What you won't find here: the 200+ Proud Boys who marched around the Capitol, kicked off the attack, and helped in nearly every breach. The gang who were convicted of seditious conspiracy. In this report, they don't exist. 2/
documentcloud.org/documents/2548…
You also won't find: the money used to pay militia to attend. "It's all paid for", people whispered. Who paid? You won't learn that. You also don't see: the online campaign before the attack. This early flier said noon - soon they switched to 1 PM. 3/

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/ Image
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/

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/ Image

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/ Image
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/

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/ Image
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/ Image
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/
