The armed man who has taken multiple hostages at a synagogue in Colleyville, TX, claims to be the brother of Aafia Siddiqui, and wants her to be released from prison.

She is serving 86 years for trying to kill US military members in Afghanistan in 2008.

.
For a bit, the synagogue’s service was still being live streamed on Facebook.

Here are some of the statements he reportedly made.
A little more background on Aafia Siddiqui.
Aug, 2014

“Siddiqui, 42, who’s known in counterterrorism circles as "Lady al Qaeda," has been linked to 9/11 ringleader Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and was once on the FBI’s most-wanted terrorists list.”

Al qaeda and ISIS have offered prisoner swaps for her.

Three months ago (Oct, 2021):

“The rally was part of a series of protests organised by a coalition of more than 20 local and national human rights and religious groups, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).”

aljazeera.com/news/2021/10/2…
Definitely worth noting. Just because he calls Siddiqui a “sister” doesn’t necessarily mean that he is literally her brother.

Many people in these groups call each other brothers and sisters; kinship in ideology.
The hostage taker is not Siddiqui’s biological brother.

Biden just fired Darren Beattie.

He was fired as a Trump speechwriter when CNN reported that he spoke at a white nationalist conference. He promotes neo nazi protests.

He has been pushing disinfo about Jan 6.

Trump appointed him to a group related to Holocaust preservation.
Recent background
Beattie has been using Revolver News to push the Ray Epps/false flag conspiracy theories, to try to provide cover to right wing insurrectionists.

Here he is helping Tucker do the same.

Until today, he still held a government position, where Trump appointed him.

There is something potentially very big in the Stewart Rhodes indictment that has not been noticed/reported yet.

First - a story that has flown under the radar:

The Kremers had also planned a rally at the *Supreme Court* later that day.

h/t/cc @satirehat @leesgirl9
We can only speculate about the reason for the SCOTUS rally, but we do have a couple of clues.

Namely, Louie Gohmert had a lawsuit waiting for SCOTUS *on* Jan 6 - one that would make Mike Pence responsible for choosing the electors that day.

They badly wanted SCOTUS to take it.
Listen to Sidney Powell describe this in her own words.

They thought that, if Congress could be prevented from reconvening, then Alito might have picked up their case, and stopped the entire certification.

Did Pelosi play some role in slow rolling this case?

Today is the first time anyone has been charged with seditious conspiracy regarding Jan 6.

And the Feds also just slapped that charge (sedition) on the other targets of the ongoing Oath Keepers conspiracy case.

This only happened after they built their case up to the leader.
“The [Oath Keepers] superseding indictment has now effectively been split into three parts: the 11-defendant seditious conspiracy case, a seven-defendant original case, and a third case against one of the previously charged defendants.”

Important

When “crowd members forced entry into the Capitol,” Rhodes then stepped onto the grounds and called his OK members over to him.

Then those OK’s formed up in a stack & went to occupy the building.

The QRFs stood by, outside the city, ready to supply them with weapons.

Tony Shaffer, the fellow who has been trolling and attacking researchers on Twitter, was the “lead investigator” for the Amistad project, which was apparently involved in creating forged state elector documents, as well as in filing “Kraken” lawsuits to overturn the election.
Shaffer also sat on the Trump 2020 board, and admits that he was at the rally on January 6th.

Although he stutters quite a bit when he has to address whether Trump incited violence.

He wants us to believe that no one could have predicted that people would storm the Capitol.
Why do we suspect that the Amistad Project may have been involved with the fraudulent state elector plan?

Because they released a massive 1,400 page ‘super appendix’ of documents before January 6th.

And the fraudulent elector documents were found included in that appendix.

Nearly five months ago, @Reuters published this article, which is completely false.

Right wing propagandists still use it daily, to deny that there was any coordinated effort behind the insurrection.

It needs to be retracted.

reuters.com/world/us/exclu…
I pointed out the sourcing issues the day that it was published.

Since then, the @January6thCmte themselves have completely debunked it.

And yet it still remains online, to be used by bad faith propagandists.
“It’s been made clear to us that reports of such a conclusion are baseless.”
