#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/

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/

#SeditionHunters - we told everyone that conspiracy charges would come for some not physically present at the Jan 6 Capitol attack. And now they're here - Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio has been charged. 1/
washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/…
Tarrio wasn't in DC on the 6th because he was arrested for an old offense, told to leave. That arrest has always been odd. We know Jan 6 was green-lit the night of Dec. 18th. Just before, Tarrio reached out to multiple media outlets to confess a crime...2/
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… Image
The indictment is an excellent read - it carefully lays the case for conspiracy via timeline, showing how events follow each other. On Dec. 19, the first announcements for Jan 6 go out. On Dec. 20, Tarrio makes an encrypted chat for Proud Boys leaders. 3/

#SeditionHunters & those who #StandWithUkraine can help by reporting long-time white supremacist Twitter accounts now posting against Ukraine. Here are Cassandra Fairbanks (then at Russia's Sputnik News) and Tim Cernovich making the white power sign at the White House in 2017. 1/
Here is Fairbanks (@ CassandraRules) today mocking NATO and U.S. military. She had been trying to analogize Ukraine and US borders. Fairbanks is now at The Gateway Pundit, supposedly US-owned but the sympathies are the same. 2/
Fairbanks has a bunch of re-tweets telling people not to believe "hyped-up hero stories" (e.g. soldiers Snake Island are still alive!). Meanwhile Mike Cernovich (not Tim, typo earlier!) , an open white supremacist, is busy blaming Zelenskyy. Report him: @ Cernvoich. 3/

#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

#SeditionHunters - #GreenPlaidLady finally arrested, Shelly Stallings of KY. On Jan 6 she was with #PlaidBearSpray, Peter Schwartz of KY (the felon on probation who skipped drug rehab for DC). It's not going to be a complicated case (video h/t @MThymol) 1/
After spraying officers on the W. Plaza, their group moved up to the Lower W. Terrace tunnel. Here's Stallings exiting just behind Schwartz, after being pepper-sprayed. They're now jointly indicted, tho only Schwartz has charges for tunnel assaults. 2/
Image
Here's the indictment, & video of another bear-spray assault by Stallings on the W. Plaza (h/t @CMominator). These folks aren't organizers or militia members - 'normies' willing to commit violence were key to the Capitol attack. 3/

#SeditionHunters have watched hours of Capitol attackers screaming "traitors" to US police; the same now happening in Canada. Video from Global News, at the Ambassador Bridge 10:13 AM Sat. The tactical vehicle is apparently Ontario police, not military. 1/
10:39 AM, police try to sweep the bridge. No riot gear, but at least two tactical teams in back. The Ambassador Bridge is (normally) the busiest international crossing in N. America and a key conduit for automobile manufacturing. 2/
As of today Ford's Ohio Assembly Plant (1600 workers, medium-duty trucks) is shut for lack of parts. GM sent shifts home early on Friday. 3/

#SeditionHunters - as Canada tries to clear its invading trucker convoys, they're gearing up in the US. A year after Jan 6, reporters are savvier about the scale of organized disinfo campaigns used to mobilize crowds. Good thread & article from NBC... 1/
nbcnews.com/tech/internet/….
Here's a thread about it by NBC's Ben Collins, who emphasizes the fake and foreign Facebook accounts, the disinfo campaigns pushing conspiracy theories, the grifters and the political interests, the fact that "truckers" are largely not in fact truckers. 2/
As we saw for the Capitol attack, once a date is chosen - this year it's Mar 5 - the influence machine rolls into action quickly. Several rally promoters are now pushing parallel campaigns to mobilize people on that one selected day. 3/
