#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/

The techbro plot they talk of openly, to seize power by dominating the global weapons industry is luckily so far stymied by their products not working.

Peter Thiel's Stark drones flopped in trial. Big dreams are a start, but you have to execute too. 1/
Even if the techbros fail at their hoped-for military surveillance state, their bad products can still weaken the U.S. Trump and Hegseth are shoveling weapons contracts to Silicon Valley startups. Here's $642M for the Peter Thiel-backed Anduril. 2/
govconwire.com/articles/andur…
Sam Altman's OpenAI got $200 M this year to inject AI into military decision-making. This is a partnership with Anduril too, to make AI tools “for security missions”. 3/

Reminder: Ed Martin, Trump's US Pardon attorney (R) and George Santos, whose sentence he just helped commute (L) were both speakers at the Stop the Steal rally the day before the Jan 6 Capitol attack. The next day, they both sat in the VIP section at Trump's Ellipse rally. 1/ Image
Image
On Jan 6, Ed Martin, as a founding member of Ali Alexander's Stop the Steal team, had a better seat than George Santos, a lesser figure. Brandon Straka, the man who first got Santos into politics, sat in the front row center; Ed two rows back; Santos deeper in the crowd. 2/ Image
Image
Santos, who rocketed from a minor part of Brandon Straka's WalkAway operation to a member of Congress, was sentenced to over 7 years in prison for wire fraud and identity theft. Today Trump let him out. Ed Martin says he was "honored" to help "make clemency great again". 3/ Image

Trump's move this week revoking 6 visas for posting about Charlie Kirk is a wake-up call. These weren't random. They were all prominent people in the arts, with business visas. One is German filmmaker Mario Sixtus, whose new documentary criticizes AI and US tech firms. 1/ Image
Sixtus' documentary examines how AI slop is infecting the internet, making it a "dumping ground for machine-generated nonsense". He's based in Berlin, but interviews famed US AI researcher Melanie Mitchell. Now he can't come to the US to promote it. 2/

These six are not random. Another revokee, music exec Nota Baloyi from South Africa, has said he was targeted and wonders if South African right-wingers sent in a tip. US journalists need to ask how these six were chosen. Whose speech is being barred? 3/

A big caution here: we have to take seriously that GOP has coordinated talking points that No Kings will involve an act of terrorism. We have to ask seriously whether someone has planned such an act. It wouldn't be provoking people in frog costumes. It would be worse 1/
The last time we heard so much talk about "Antifa" as a terrorist threat was Jan 2021, just before the Capitol attack. The 200+ Proud Boys who kicked it off didn't wear "colors"; they came "dressed as Antifa". They talked about it repeatedly. That instruction came from above. 2/ Image
Remember: in 1999, a month after he was made Prime Minister, Putin solidified his power using explosions that killed hundreds. He blamed Chechen terrorists as a pretext for a crackdown. Regardless of who planted the bombs, Putin found a use for them. 3/

Jan 6 is in the news again as GOP Senators reveal that FBI searched their phone records in 2023. A totally reasonable action, but what's surprising is the list. The FBI left off Ted Cruz, by far the Senator with the most known ties to Jan 6! And they added some surprises 1/ Image
The article by @etuckerAP & @stephengroves gives the basics, but not why this information was released now or why these Senators were chosen. Before Jan 6, Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz were talked of as a team plotting something - so why isn't Cruz here? 2/
apnews.com/article/fbi-ja…
The FBI has private sources of information, but the list is still baffling. (Why Dan Sullivan of AK?) The Congressional Insurrection Scores rank lawmakers by publicly known actions around Jan 6. In this metric, Sens Cruz, Hawley, & Tuberville stand out. 3/

Just unbelievable stuff coming from independent journalists. Jack Posobiec, a Roger Stone protege, was one of the biggest spreaders of Russian disinfo in 2016. Of Pizzagate. Of election-fraud claims in 2020. And it took til now to show he was voting fraudulently himself? 1/ Image
Slate picked up this article (kudos!) but both journos are independent.

Poso was one of the first people tapped for Ali Alexander's Stop the Steal. He pushed election-fraud claims to 1M followers, watched the J6 attack from Alex Jones' rented rooftop. 2/
slate.com/news-and-polit…
How is it that with all the resources of mainstream media his own voter fraud gets uncovered only now? How did CBS cover Poso, a major propagandist and a vector for foreign influence? They interviewed him about "the death of his friend Charlie Kirk". 3/
