#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/

Just as a reminder, Enrique Tarrio, chairman of the Proud Boys, is a protege of Roger Stone - picture is them together in 2018. Joe Biggs, who led the Proud Boys march on Jan 6, is a former employee of Alex Jones at InfoWars. 4/
miaminewtimes.com/news/roger-sto…
The indictment follows the timeline we had worked out, with some bombshell additions. The first: on Dec. 30, Tarrio receives a 9-page plan for the Capitol attack from an unnamed person. They all know this is big, serious: Donohoe calls it a "completely different operation". 5/ Image
Tarrio continues self-protective CYA, refusing to be specific about plans "until Jan 4", & ostentatiously leaves a voice message Jan 4 morning saying that he had, oh! only just heard now that someone might want to storm the Capitol! That's a man considering his legal exposure. 6/ Image
2nd bombshell: Tarrio was still working with PB leaders. We knew that after the arrest, other leaders created a new encrypted chat, fearing Tarrio's was watched. Now we know: on Jan 5th eve. Tarrio was added to the NEW chat, & Biggs, Tarrio discuss the plans they'd been given. 7/ Image
Proud Boy messages on the 6th are also informative. As the gathered PBs march around the Capitol in the morning, Donohoe texts "WE ARE WITH 200-300 PBs". #SeditionHunters had counted 235 of them. 8/
The new indictment adds more PB texts, making it even more clear: Proud Boys leaders were commenting on the action as it unfolded, and Tarrio was following. Look at the timing of actions (red) and messages (yellow) during the main attack period. Every advance gets a text. 9/ Image
One surprise: Tarrio's mention of the Rayburn (House) office building. We'd thought something bad might be planned for the Russell (Senate) office building, because OAN (not news but propaganda) was set up there. This post is 2:09 PM, just as invaders took the NW stairs. 10/ Image
The new details from Tarrio's indictment are added to the 'VIP timeline', not yet to other docs in bit.ly/Jan6Analysis. See those timelines for video links, tho. All are crowdsourced efforts by 100s of volunteers in the #SeditionHunters community. 11/

Update: Tarrio arrested this morning in Miami, at his father's house: early AM, FBI agents hid in the bushes, then swarmed the house, put Tarrio in handcuffs - fully naked. See NBC Miami article for video; pic here is after they let him get dressed. 12/
nbcmiami.com/news/local/ex-…
Tarrio is such a public figure in Miami that new coverage should be great; just a reminder now of his deep connections. Here he is with Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle in 2019, from the FB of his fellow Latinos for Trump leader Bianca Gracia. (h/t @AuntBeethe1st). 13/ Image
On Dec. 12, just before the 'dress rehearsal' rally in DC, Gracia and Tarrio both got a tour of the White House. Gracia's well-connected herself - her son interned for Jody Hice, R-GA. On Jan 6, the line between attacker and attacked was very blurry. 14/
salon.com/2020/12/15/how…
Two minor corrections: 1) it's Proud Boy Rehl, not Donohoe, who calls Jan 6 a 'completely different operation' (h/t @visionsurreal). 2) some claim Tarrio was not fully naked when arrested (watch). Life hack: if under investigation by FBI, wear PJs. 15/

As Elon Musk gives the Nazi salute in DC, let me just say that it was very clear, 4 years ago, at least to me, that Jan 6 was a precursor, and that this would be the result if we did not investigate it thoroughly - not the footsoldiers but the ones who gave orders that day. 1/
Some people say Jan 6 was more like the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch than the 1933 Reichstag fire, but either way, the analogy holds. The attack was planned; the Proud Boys were sub-contractors; there were people on the ground directing. And we missed it. 2/
Jan 6 is still relevant. Because there was so much effort to erase it, one key task is preserving its memory and its evidence. More broadly, resisting in a way that Germany did not in the 1930s. We need to read our history and listen to historians. 3/

To all who will read the Jack Smith report on Tuesday - be warned that it's even worse than expected on the physical attack. It's just wrong. Like this: the attack did not start with 1000s of people marching from the Ellipse. It started with a few hundred, led by Proud Boys. 1/ Image
What you won't find here: the 200+ Proud Boys who marched around the Capitol, kicked off the attack, and helped in nearly every breach. The gang who were convicted of seditious conspiracy. In this report, they don't exist. 2/
documentcloud.org/documents/2548…
You also won't find: the money used to pay militia to attend. "It's all paid for", people whispered. Who paid? You won't learn that. You also don't see: the online campaign before the attack. This early flier said noon - soon they switched to 1 PM. 3/

Dear pundits saying no worries, Trump can't round up 10M migrants because their work is needed for the US economy: stop. Deporting people is hard. Locking people up and making them work, that's easy. Remember, MOST camps in Germany from 1938 were "Arbeitslager" - labor camps. 1/ Image
It is critical to understand this and stop the bad takes. No one will put immigrants in camps and have them sit around. They will work in factories and on farms and in construction, without pay, just as happened in all prior historical examples. 2/
theholocaustexplained.org/the-camps/type…
Everyone now thinks of Germany's six extermination camps and their gas chambers: Auschwitz, Birkenau. But their bigger project was the hundreds of forced labor camps. At WWII's end they housed over 5M people, slaving to Make Germany Great Again. That's our analogy. 3/ Image

This election won't see another Jan 6 - Trump can't raise a crowd. But there will be something new; his backers are desperate. In 2020 TX AG Ken Paxton was one of Trump's main allies. Now, 2 weeks before the election, Paxton previews a plan: to contest the Texas vote. 1/ Image
The scariest players in 2020 weren't Proud Boys; they were rogue state attorneys general, led by Ken Paxton: elected officials all in for sedition. It was Paxton for Texas who sued to reject the votes of the swing states. What will he do this year? 2/
docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…Image
On January 6 morning, as the mob gathered at the Capitol, Ken Paxton spoke at Trump's rally: "Texas fights...Twelve straight lawsuits...", claiming Trump won deep red Texas only because he averted fraud. What will he do in 2024 for Trump and Ted Cruz? 3/

Peter Thiel's sidekick Chuck Johnson is now accused of posing as an intelligence asset to defraud businesses. So let's ask: how in 2023 did SEVEN news outlets print Johnson's story that he and Thiel were working for the FBI, without calling his bs? 1/
semafor.com/article/10/16/…
The two outlets who named Johnson as their source are Business Insider and The Atlantic, but their stories were picked up by 5 others, and MANY outlets did worse: they printed versions of the story over April-Nov 2023 without naming sources. It was all bullshit - a campaign. 2/ Image
When Johnson started calling reporters to say he and Thiel were Super Secret FBI Sources, they should have have known this was 1) bs and 2) a PR campaign by Thiel. They should have asked: why would Thiel do this? What is his goal? Every leak has a goal. 3/

People shocked by Evie magazine's article fawning over JD Vance's "classic beauty" and "blue laser beam...eyes that sent women swooning", please realize this is the same outfit that launched a menstrual cycle tracker funded by Vance's patron Peter Thiel. 1/ Image
The propaganda efforts aren't even subtle. Evie (started 2018) is a pitch for the horseshoe left via a "wellness" magazine. The period tracker was spun up in 2022 ("women were tired of the pill"); they claimed they'd have 1M users in a year. They don't. 2/
futurism.com/neoscope/peter…
Evie's use of "blue laser beam eyes" for Vance is funny since that phrase is borrowed from the parody ZDF did of Peter Thiel using the James Bond theme song: "Immortal libertarian, so refreshingly Aryan... with blue laser eyes into human demise..." 3/
