“But Tarrio also said that during marches, Lamond would tell him the location of counterdemonstrators. Tarrio said that was so his group could avoid conflict…” washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/…
“… after one violent night of demonstrations, police accused the Proud Boys of roaming the city looking for and instigating fights, targeting people they believed identified as antifa, or antifascists.”

washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/…
The night the Washington Post is referring to (see previous tweet) is almost certainly December 12, 2020.
It would be noteworthy if it came out - as Washington Post is now suggesting - that a source within MPD could have been feeding Proud Boys intel suggesting the live location of the counter-demonstrators on December 12th, 2020.

NEWLY OBTAINED VIDEO: @Paulisconi filmed on the night of Dec 12, 2020.

"Where would you like to go?"

MPD then-Inspector (promoted later to "Commander" for J6) Glover spoke with counter-protesters to coordinate their march route to prevent them from contact with Proud Boys.
Over a year later now, it would appear from the Washington Post's reporting that as MPD Inspector Glover coordinated with counter-protesters, Lieutenant Shane Lamond may have been feeding the intel to the Proud Boys, who were actively looking for them.

Video thread: As Ottawa declared a state of emergency Sunday, @Paulisconi filmed scenes of the occupation taking place at the Canadian capital.

The protesters, led by truckers, are demanding PM Trudeau lift COVID vaccine and testing requirements for border crossings.
One speaker at #TruckersConvoy2022 claimed "We are about freedom of choice" and identified himself as being double-vaccinated but said he objects to having to "show my papers to buy a sandwich."

"We will 'honk' the fascism away!"
Some at the #Ottawa occupation are not only anti-mandate, but anti-vax.

One speaker claimed that the necessity of booster shows shows that vaccines themselves are ineffective, comparing it to "gambling."

He accuses Premier of Ontario Doug Ford of profiting from the pandemic.

DOCUMENTARY VIDEO THREAD: Avowed fascist group "Patriot Front" today marched in Washington DC alongside the anti-abortion "March for Life."

MPD escorted the group through the streets, using bikes to repel a handful of counter-protesters and separating PF from the rest of M4L.
MPD's Commander Robert Glover spoke to avowed fascist Patriot Front leader Thomas Rousseau.

Glover seemed frustrated at the groups path, asking "What do you want?"

After Rousseau clarified, Commander Glover said "So the original plan?"

Rousseau: "Yes!"

Glover: "Okay."
This was the one arrest I documented.

A woman wearing a "Trump" hat and "Pro Life" shirt ran across the police line at the Patriot Front fascist group, and was pulled down by cops.

They arrested her, taking what appeared to be a taser in her possession.

She was visibly bloody.

The January 6th Committee says it has subpoenaed far-right, self proclaimed “white majoritarian” Nick Fuentes.

My footage of Fuentes at the December 12 “Million MAGA March” was cited in the impeachment trial of President Trump.

Fuentes supported Trump, and advocated against all institutions in Trump’s path, including mainstream conservatives.

Rolling Stone was among the first outlets to write about my footage.

This is the clip of my footage being used in the impeachment trial.

The clip was erroneously attributed at the bottom of the screen to a Twitter user who exploited the platform’s “embed” feature to obscure the original source.

BREAKING: Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio released from DC jail after serving four months and a week out of a five month sentence.

Tarrio pled guilty last year to two charges for burning a BLM banner they took from a church and possessing two rifle mags when he was arrested.
Enrique Tarrio was subpoenaed by the @January6thCmte while he was incarcerated.

"I plan to comply with the January 6 Committee to the best of my ability," he tells me.

Asked if he's nervous about the investigation, he says "absolutely not."

"That's not an issue for me."
Stewart Rhodes, leader of the Oath Keepers, was arrested just yesterday for "Seditious Conspiracy."

As Tarrio departed from the jail, I asked whether the case concerns him.

He says he is "absolutely not" worried the feds are coming for him next.

BREAKING: Ten Oath Keepers and associates including leader Stewart Rhodes charged with "seditious conspiracy" for January 6.
This is my uncut video of the moment the Oath Keepers stack breached the Capitol East side.

(Footage available to license)

Rhodes will be an interesting case. I photographed him on the Capitol East side; he was generally speaking to several men, but he did not appear to go inside or physically get involved with the action.
