#SeditionHunters and journalists: as Russia launches its attack on Ukraine we will hear - are hearing - U.S. public figures praising Putin. The same who also pushed the Jan 6 attack. Realize: the PR groundwork for today was laid over years. Here is Jack Posobiec last month. 1/ Image
Posobiec, chief propagandist for the alt-right, is so obvious he's a guide to whatever op is current: election fraud, racial division, trucker convoys, war. Candace Owens is almost as reliable. Both ex-actors, 'platformed' in 2016-2017. Here's Candace & Jack last month. 2/ Image
Last month was the signal to panic: Posobiec temporarily changed his Twitter name to "Jacek" in January and started posting about Ukrainian territorial integrity. He's a barometer for disinfo, a pure tool. But he represents many, not just 'influencers' but also politicians. 3/ ImageImage
As explosions rock Ukraine it is not the time for a big thread. Just let's not be surprised when many of our newscasters, our politicians, stand up for Russia now instead of for the US. The rot in America started early (see link) & was spread by design. 4/
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… Image
The 'VIP timeline' was made to trace the back-stories of the public figures who brought crowds to the Capitol on Jan 6. As an exercise, I also counted mentions of any foreign country. No surprise, but it helps to understand our long national nightmare. 5/
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… ImageImage
Right now Ukraine's national nightmare is worse than ours is. They are where our thoughts should be, but may we find a way out of it, somehow, together. 6/ Image
In an article about Posobiec's OAN Network in June 2020, former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul raised an alarm about the level of foreign disinfo in the US: “There’s never been a moment like this in American history..." 7/
theatlantic.com/politics/archi… Image
To put McFaul's quote about disinfo in context: June 2020 was just before the start of the crowd-gathering efforts & series of rallies that culminated in the Jan 6 Capitol attack. Posobiec watched it from OAN's rented rooftop, then strolled the Capitol grounds "reporting". 8/ Image
McFaul has advice for our current moment too: "There is a time and place for hearing two sides of an issue. This tragic moment in European history is not one of them. Do not give false equivalency to voices of evil and voices of good." 9/

As weird as it is to see Trump, his VP, SecDef, and SecState out in DC with hardly any security, it is weirder that it was Codepink that was protesting. Codepink is an astroturfed "women for peace" group whose "peace" means giving Putin whatever he wants. Slavishly pro-Russia. 1/
Codepink has left such a long trail of dubious actions and shadowy funding that @P_Kallioniemi, who posts about Russian influencers, needed 23 Tweets to outline it all. If they are involved, tonight's events were not a normal protest. 2/
Medea Benjamin, Codepink co-founder, is so committed to Putin's talking points that she wrote an entire book about the Russia-Ukraine war rehashing them: Ukraine provoked the invasion! 2014 in Ukraine was not the people's liberation but a US coup! Nothing about this is normal. 3/ Image

Welcome comrades to the new free-speech university UATX, created by the co-founder of Palantir! Today after early-morning calisthenics we will discuss the writings of the Palantir CEO and also co-founder. Be ready to discuss his belief that companies must take over the state. 1/ Image
Tomorrow's topic: how Joe Lonsdale and Alex Karp exemplify Merit and not Woke DEI! Both
* were student friends of Peter Thiel. Lonsdale edited Thiel's Stanford Review.
* spent their entire careers in companies created or funded by Thiel
Next week: "Freedom is Slavery"
-- UATX
2/
Comrades - building an empire of proteges is not Woke DEI but Righteous Merit! Because your friends obviously have more Merit than those, well, other people. Competitive job applications bad, hiring your friends good! - UATX. Where Speech is Free!

Eric Schmitt's blood-and-soil nationalism at Peter Thiel's NatCon this week is making news - but this isn't new. Schmitt's staffer Nate Hochman, posting here, was fired in 2013 from Ron DeSantis' campaign for pushing a video where the Florida flag turns into a Nazi Sonnenrad. 1/
MO Senator Eric Schmitt hired Hochman AFTER he got internationaly famous for using a Nazi symbol. That tells you a lot. Schmitt didn't mind the Sonnnerad, or Hochman's later work pushing conspiracy theories about immigrants. 2/
theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…
When you listen to Eric Schmitt deny that America was founded on an idea about liberty - he says it was just meant as a homeland for white people - remember this guy is fine with Nazi Sonnenrads. And he's now in the US Senate. It can happen here. 3/

The guy who is going viral complaining that "we" have judges who aren't what "the founders intended" is... based in Italy, named his substack after a cultish Russian philosophy, and uses a profile picture of a man who grew up in Nazi Germany and became a mercenary in Africa. 1/ Image
Note that this account isn't "captivedreamer7", the now-famous racist who is actually Canadian. This guy seems truly European from his posts and his pretentious Substack, which is very focussed on the German officer Ernst Junger (anti-Nazi at the end). 2/
web.archive.org/web/2025080301…Image
His profile picture is another German soldier: Rolf Steiner was too young to join the Nazis (though his father did). Like Junger he went to the French Foreign Legion, then tried to overthrown the government of France and fought in a French mercenary unit in the Biafran war. 3/ Image

The techbro takeover of the US continues: while CDC employees "clap out" their principled leaders who resigned, Trump swears in a 2-decade Peter Thiel advisor to lead CDC. Thiel's Palantir already has all your data. He controls your VP. Now he controls your public health too. 1/
No one's even trying to hide the Thiel takeover anymore. Jim O'Neill's been a key Thiel lieutenant for nearly 20 years. He ran the Thiel foundation, Thiel's Clarium Capital and Mithril Capital (the one that employed JD Vance). 2/
citizen.org/article/jim-on…
Jim O'Neill's not just a Thiel lieutenant, he's a true acolyte, pushing all Peter's fruitcake ideas: building government-free floating cities. Achieving eternal life. Getting kids to drop out of college. And he says drug safety testing is for wimps. 3/

Trump's posts are getting really transparent. His plan for power - probably Jan 6, certainly now - is to create a violent, chaotic event and order in troops. He's saying it plainly now. He's also invoking the antisemitic Soros conspiracy created by his own political mentors. 1/
What's happening in the US makes more sense if you get that it's the same group of people doing the same things, over and over. The Soros conspiracy was created by a US political advisor - Roger Stone's mentor - to elect Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orban. 2/
The US is not special, and our would-be fascist overlords - not just Trump but Silicon Valley techbros - look to Hungary as a model. Orban crashed his economy and made Hungary the poorest country in Europe, but he got power and that's what they want. 3/
