#SeditionHunters know the Capitol attack was organized. The J6 Committee knows too. Rep. Zoe Lofgren: "There was a planning. There was a purpose. And we are going to uncover all of that." Consider - if the attack had succeeded, how world events might be unfolding now... 1/
There are too many links between the Capitol attack & Ukraine. From Russia this week: Maria Butina, convicted foreign agent, honeypot with ties to J6 figures, now a Duma Rep, shows how to draw the fascist "Z" on your jacket to support invading Ukraine..2/
Maria Butina famously seduced Patrick Byrne, faithful henchman for former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. Here's Byrne at Flynn's side at the 'dry run' rally in DC on Dec 12. Six days later, both men were in the Oval Office pushing Trump to green-light Jan 6. 3/
Butina & Byrne's back-stories are in our "VIP Timeline" that tracks the influencers who gathered the crowds in DC for Jan 6. Butina was deported late 2019, quickly took a job at Russian media outlet RT, a main source of pro-invasion propaganda now. 4/
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
Russian outlets RT, Sputnik News are all over the timeline, often providing the first 'journalism' jobs for the J6 influencers. UW Prof. Kate Starbird has shown the same outlets were central to propaganda on Syria, along with Russia Insider & Mint Press, also connected to J6. 5/
Russian media actively promoted white supremacist movements in the US. Sputnik News hired far-right influencer Cassandra Fairbanks; Russia Insider supported the neo-Nazi Identity Evropa group - whose leader was at the Capitol on J6, as was RI's editor. 6/
lancasteronline.com/news/politics/…
Mint Press shows up as a timeline source: 3 weeks after Jan 6, Dan Cohen (formerly RT), published an article pushing the Oath Keepers as responsible - & drawing attention away from the Proud Boys who led the attack. Cohen is now posting about Ukraine... 7/
mintpressnews.com/us-backed-coup…
Here's Dan Cohen of Russia-associated Mint Press mocking Ukraine's President Zelenskyy & his army. Cohen's pinned Tweet is a thread lauding an anti-vaxx rally and the "global medical freedom movement": another big theme in the divisive disinfo being pushed onto the US. 8/
In case Cohen's intent wasn't clear, here he is on Mar 6 calling Ukrainians "Nazi[s] and jihadist[s]", and linking them to Colombian death squads. The US is a proud bastion of free speech - but we must now decide how to combat the paid disinfo tearing us apart. 9/

Howard Lutnick, our Sec. of Commerce, shows a disconnect from material reality that will make Americans die. A weather forecast cannot be "automated" or MADE AT ALL without data. And Trump is cutting the satellites and weather stations that provide that data. 1/
Lutnick, who is in charge of NOAA and its National Weather Service, seem to think that if you say "web" and "cloud" and "computer" and "AI" then by some magic knowledge appears. But weather forecasts depend on MEASUREMENTS. Which Lutnick is cutting. 2/
kcci.com/article/propos…
The proposed NOAA budget cuts both current satellite operations and planned future satellites meant to make better predictions. Lutnick's testimony suggests: people have forgotten that not everything is a simulation, that reality exists (and bites). 3/

Since Frank Luntz is defending Elon Musk, a recap: Luntz, like Roger Stone, was one of "Arthur's boys", mentored by Arthur Finkelstein, the dark lord of negative campaigns who (tho gay and Jewish), pushed homophobic far-right extremists - and gave us Orban, Netanyahu, & Trump. 1/
It was the Jewish Arthur Finkelstein who created the antisemitic George Soros conspiracy, to propel Victor Orban to power. Anything to get his clients elected. Everything Luntz says now is shaded by that history. 2/
buzzfeednews.com/article/hnsgra…
It was Arthur Finkelstein who brought in Roger Stone's partner Paul Manafort - who had been working for a pro-Russian politician in Ukraine - as Trump's first campaign manager. 3/

Exactly as predicted, now that DOGE has scraped all your personal data from government agencies, it is being given to Peter Thiel's Palantir. It was always going to be Peter, who dreamed of dictatorship for decades, patiently built up his "political project" to seize power. 1/ Image
The NYT doesn't say HOW it was decided to give Palantir all your personal data, only that it was a no-bid contract directed by "Elon Musk's DOGE". (DOGE was always a project of Peter's too.) But Thiel had installed a protege to do just this. 2/
nytimes.com/2025/05/30/tec…Image
One of Trump's first actions as president was to install Greg Barbaccia, a longtime Palantir employee, as US Federal Chief Information Officer, with power to direct US software systems. This account called it: he was there to give Palantir your data. 3/

NOTUS: RFK Jr's big "Make America Healthy Again" report cites non-existent studies and looks written by AI. These people now say they will override scientists to determine what is and is not "gold-standard science". Brace for public health disasters. 1/
notus.org/health-science…
Trump is waging war on knowledge. Trump's Executive Order of last week was a bid to seize control of the science agencies, under the pretext that most science data is falsified: "a reproducibility crisis". It's projection - accuse others of what you do. 2/
whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…Image
Whatever is going on is coordinated from the top, since JD Vance amplified the "reproducibility" message the day after the EO. Vance throws in the phrase "particularly in biology", like this is aimed at medical science in particular. And Trump is canceling vaccine contracts. 3/ Image

Today Trump froze ALL student visa applications. Let's be clear on what this is - it's an attack on knowledge. About half the graduate students who power U.S. research are foreign. (Compare dark blue & dark red in chart.) No students = no advances in science, medicine, tech. 1/ Image
Politico missed this point today, writing that revoking student visas would hit universities because "many... rely heavily on foreign students for funds". What it hits most is research: those visas go mostly to PhD-student researchers working in labs. 2/
politico.com/news/2025/05/2…
Nearly half of STEM PhD students in the US are foreign. They do not pay tuition - they are paid by their labs for their work. The ROI on research is so big, each yields over $10K/yr net benefit to the US. Foreign talent helps the US lead in innovation. 3/

CBS' 60 Minutes is airing a puff piece about weapons maker Anduril, a company backed by Peter Thiel, whose CEO is Matt Gaetz's brother-in-law. Let's remember that both the exec producer of 60 Minutes and the CEO of CBS recently quit saying they were losing editorial control. 1/
Palmer Luckey, Anduril CEO, is eagerly promoting it - it's not going to be hard-hitting. Ask why CBS, facing a bs lawsuit by Trump, is airing a promo for a wanna-be defense contractor deeply tied to the people now tearing apart the federal government. 2/
npr.org/2025/05/19/nx-…
Anduril was founded by Luckey and execs from Peter Thiel's Palantir - like all Thiel's companies, it got a name from "Lord of the Rings". Peter now has all your data - he wants to control your military too. He's leading a new funding round for Anduril. 3/
