Big news: The F.B.I. has arrested Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the far-right Oath Keepers militia, in a major step forward in the investigation into the attack on the Jan. 6 Capitol by supporters of Donald Trump. nytimes.com/2022/01/13/us/…
We tracked Rhodes at the Capitol on Jan. 6, where he was communicating by cellphone and Signal with members of his team, many of whom went into the building. We haven't found any evidence that Rhodes entered the building.
A year ago, we published a piece tracking 12 Oath Keepers that entered the Capitol on Jan. 6. All of them have now been arrested. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
We also tracked five other Oath Keepers who had provided security to Trump-confidante Roger Stone and then entered the Capitol. All of them have also been arrested. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

The @nytimes has a live blog on the protests in Kazakhstan, where a Russia-led military alliance arrived yesterday to restore order after protests turned violent. The police reported dozens of antigovernment demonstrators had been killed. nytimes.com/live/2022/01/0…
It's worth following the live updates by @Liveuamap too, which —where possible— links to original sources too. Important monitoring work as always.
“The cause of the chaos in Kazakhstan are not protests but a desperate power struggle between the [political elite] clans,” @dan_ferghana writes, pointing towards current president Tokayev versus Nazarbayev's nephews Samat Abish and Kairat Satybaldy. fergana.media/articles/124571

The United States military failed to conduct even the most simple internet searches before dismissing reports of civilian casualties, our investigation of confidential Pentagon documents reveals. nytimes.com/2021/12/31/us/…
This visual investigation is based on documents obtained by @AzmatZahra through FOIA requests and a lawsuit against the Pentagon. The trove chronicles how the U.S. military assessed — and often dismissed — alleged civilian casualty incidents during its air war in Iraq and Syria.
We found the Pentagon’s civilian casualty assessment process was riddled with inconsistencies. In one assessment, reviewers spent a great deal of time scouring evidence; in others, they apparently failed to do a simple Google Maps search or check Arabic sources.

Is this for real? Las Ketchup and Lou Bega? “Poland’s defence ministry and state broadcaster TVP will this weekend hold a concert to show support for troops defending the eastern border .. the event will feature .. Last Ketchup .. and Lou Bega.” notesfrompoland.com/2021/12/03/pol…
For those that are not familiar, both are one-hit wonders, Las Ketchup with Asereje (released as The Ketchup Song in the US) in 2002:

NEW: Guinean Special Forces that stormed the presidential palace on Sept. 5, seizing power, were being trained by Green Berets. The U.S. military told @declanwalsh and @EricSchmittNYT it had “no prior indication” that their students were planning a coup. nytimes.com/2021/09/10/wor…
This video of two vehicles w/ men with U.S. flag patches and Guinean soldiers pushing through a crowd chanting “Freedom!” is authentic: geolocated to a roundabout south of the U.S. Embassy in Conakry and officials told @nytimes it shows their Green Berets.
The geolocation of the video was relatively straightforward. Here are some of the steps. First, the red licence plate on the Toyota matched with licence plates used for the Conakry Region (worldlicenseplates.com/world/AF_GUIN.…), suggesting the video was likely filmed in Guinea.

On Sept. 11, 2001, @Maxar's IKONOS satellite was the only high-resolution commercial imagery system in orbit. As 9/11 unfolded, the collection team shifted tasking of the satellite to image the affected sites asap. Here are some of those images. blog.maxar.com/earth-intellig…
IKONOS als imaged the Pentagon on Sept. 15, 2001, showing the damage to the east side of the building. Satellite image courtesy of @Maxar.
On the left, Shanksville, Pa., where United Airlines Flight 93 crashed as seen on Sept. 13, 2001, by @Maxar's IKONOS satellite. On the right, same site nearly two decades later (it's now a national memorial).

On Sept. 5, Col. Mamady Doumbouya (41) —former French legionnaire and head of the country's Special Forces Group— seized power in Guinea from President Alpha Condé (83). Threading some footage that surfaced on social media, and some geolocations. nytimes.com/2021/09/05/wor… Image
Heavy gunfire was heard in the capital Conakry on Sunday morning. This video shows the 8 Nov. Bridge connecting Camayenne and Coleah in Kaloum, the tip of the peninsula where the Presidential Palace is located.
This video shows six military vehicles and about a double dozen troops just at Ave de la Republique and Blvd de Commerce — just a block away from the President Palace.
