Reminder that the Oathkeepers supported Clive Bundy in the armed standoff with the federal govt. You know who else supported Bundy? Roger Stone, Paul Gosar, & Kelli Ward. January 6 & the #fraudits were practically a reunion. 1/ @splcenter #RogerStone splcenter.org/hatewatch/2014… 
3/
6/ Correction post 1: Cliven Bundy, not Clive Bundy. Also, Oath Keepers are two words, not one.
7/ My point being that Roger Stone seems to be one of the most common denominators among the various factions of the “Stop the Steal” campaign (in addition to coining the phrase in 2016, threatening delegates in 2016, staging the Brooks Brothers riot in 2000, etc).
8/ This should make Roger Stone very nervous.

10/ “TRUMP'S PARDONING OF TWO OREGON RANCHERS IS A VICTORY FOR THE BUNDYS…” 7/11/18 psmag.com/environment/tr…
11/ “Cliven Bundy praises Trump mob, bemoans 'retreat'” 1/7/21 biologicaldiversity.org/news/media-arc…
14/ “In Oregon, prosecutors have said that O'Shaughnessy came to Burns in late December and views himself as a captain with the Oath Keepers militia”oregonlive.com/oregon-standof…
15/ Joseph O’Shaughnessy of the Oathkeepers (former bodyguard of Cliven Bundy) has called Roger Stone his “hero” and “mentor.”
16/ @ADL wrote an article about the Bundy standoff & its participants. Here is the part re: Oathkeeper Joseph O’Shaughnessy. adl.org/sites/default/…
17/ Oh look. It seems that Joe Biggs was involved in the Bundy standoff too. As I said, January 6 was practically a Bundy standoff reunion. adl.org/sites/default/…
18/ For those who are unfamiliar with Joe Biggs. 👇
December 11: O’Shaughnessy (red tie) with Stone. h/t @LeaLovesUSA 19/
20/ Which btw shows me that the photo on the far left, below, is from December 11, NOT January 5 at the Willard. I don’t know where O’Shaughnessy was on January 5 or 6. At least not yet.

24/ in 2016, Ammon Bundy led a 41-day armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge after protesting the return to federal prison of two Oregon ranchers convicted of setting fire to public land,” effectively a dress rehearsal 4 January 6. oregonlive.com/crime/2021/01/…
25/ “‘You can draw a straight line from the Bundy Ranch standoff and Malheur takeover to the Trump insurrection in Washington,’ she said.”
26/ “Cliven Bundy, expressed dismay that President Trump didn’t stick to his guns after he issued a half-hearted message calling for a peaceful end to the occupation.” hcn.org/issues/53.2/no…
27/ Within days of Trump’s defeat, Stewart Rhodes (Oath Keepers leader) told Alex Jones that ‘just as Americans…stormed the Bundy ranch to stand up 4 a rancher's family, we need to go to Washington w/ the same conviction.’” abcnews.go.com/US/standoff-ne…
28/ This fleeting moment on fringe radio connected some of the nation's most prominent anti-government figures: “[Alex] Jones, [Stewart] Rhodes [of the Oath Keepers], and the Bundy family, who led two high-profile confrontations with the federal government in 2014 and 2016.”
29/ As Reuters reported in 2014, “[Alex] Jones began ‘avidly promoting’ the [Bundy] dispute on his radio show. And then armed militia members from across the country, most prominently Rhodes and members of his Oath Keepers, converged on the Bundy ranch.”
30/ Stone, who has endorsed Ammon Bundy for governor, “also raised money for ‘security’ for the January 6 protest…” #followthemoney motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
31/ “The American militia movement over the last few decades has periods of relative silence, in which the groups stew over past grudges, & then there’s a flashpoint. If that anger boils over down the road, Stone…will have had a hand in it.” - 7/16/17

32/ Alex Jones was a huge proponent of the Bundys back in 2014.
