Deep dive #January6 questions: Political operatives discussed how to overturn election | “Absolute and unmitigated liars”: controversy over ‘civil disturbance’ emergency military actions | National Guard Timeline conflicts & Last-second DCNG policy changes unicornriot.ninja/2021/january-6…
Mark Meadows, former President Trump's Chief of Staff, had documents calling for federalized national guard troops & tossing out millions of votes in the 2020 election. unicornriot.ninja/2021/january-6…
Another new document shows, rarely used military assets beyond standard National Guard riot control measures were briefly considered on January 6 as “Continuity of Operations” of the U.S. Congress (namely certifying final steps of the election) were endangered and delayed.
Col. Earl Matthews, a former D.C. National Guard (DCNG) official, accused General Charles Flynn and Lieutenant General Walter Piatt of lying to Congress, claiming that a fictitious timeline of events was put together by the Pentagon Inspector General to benefit them in hindsight.
Col. Matthews dubbed Flynn and Piatt “absolute and unmitigated liars” in a 36-page memo titled “The Harder Right: An Analysis of a Recent DoD Inspector General Investigation and Other Matters”. He also says that the Army’s internal report misstated the truth.
A conference call that started at 2:30 p.m., b/w national Pentagon leadership and DCNG. How exactly did the senior military leadership effectively pause during the riot and drag its feet in the process of considering how to send in several hundred DC Natl Guard members?
Col Matthews looked at how the National Guard was held back from moving in by high level US Army commanders on the conference call, and accused Gens Flynn and Piatt of 'perjured testimony' before Congress:
On military timeline documents Unicorn Riot looked at, at 3:42 p.m., a rarely spotted federal authority to mobilize military: “North Command Title 10 members not to be used.” -- Refers to active duty domestic troops
"CONPLAN 3502" is a NORTHCOM civil disturbance plan related here
The 2021 Domestic Operational Law Handbook for Judge Advocates covers "Civil Disturbance Operations" in great detail -- this policy framework is the most current formalized American version of what many might call 'martial law'
Last-second change to standing DC National Guard “Quick Reaction Force” orders - on Jan. 4 they were forbidden from being “issued weapons, ammunition, bayonets, batons or ballistic protection equipment such as helmets and body armor,” the use of “riot control agents,” and so on.
Michael Flynn, the CIA general and the ‘long game’
Today, Charles Flynn is the commanding general of the U.S. Army Pacific. His brother, former Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn continues to attract political controversy for promoting an army of “digital soldiers.”
A longtime patron of the Flynn family was Gen. John Singlaub, who finally passed away in Jan 2022 at age 100, after a long and secretive career:
A master architect of America’s covert empire, intertwined with its secret history since the days of the CIA’s predecessor the OSS.
Matt Farwell in TNR examined "What is Michael Flynn's Long Game?" out in the wilderness of the American Right. Singlaub's rolodex of contacts would be invaluable in building a network -- he was active in #IranContra, the World Anti-Communist League, and special ops in Vietnam.
A few weeks before January 6, Gen. Singlaub posed with Mike Flynn and Phyllis Schlafly Eagles Forum President Ed Martin (both subpoenaed by the Jan 6 committee). Flynn and Steve Bannon both praised Singlaub at the Forum in prev. years.
On December 1, 2020, Mike Flynn tweeted a press release from an Ohio-based group that wanted Trump to “immediately declare a limited form of Martial Law, and temporarily suspend the Constitution and civilian control of these elections.”
Flynn's provocative statement on Newsmax Dec 17 2020 prompted ten former defense secretaries to declare “Involving the military in election disputes would cross into dangerous territory” in an opinion piece that ran in the Washington Post on Jan 3 2021.

On the evening of June 28, Mway and his friend were stopped by three police officers from the Utica Police Department and two Oneida County Deputy Sheriffs on their walk home from a Bible study class and a graduation party.
Body camera footage was released by UPD, but only from three of the officers who were on the scene. The footage shows a pedestrian stop, otherwise known as a stop-and-frisk — a controversial tactic of interrogating and searching someone based solely on “reasonable suspicion.”
The two French police officers who killed Nahel Merzouk on June 27, 2023 initially stated that they were in danger of being run over and fired in self-defense. However, video footage from witnesses shows a different version of the story. Both officers were standing to the side of the car as it started moving again and one of them fired the shots. The car continued to move for about 50 meters and then crashed into a pole. The driver was killed instantly, one of the two other passengers escaped and the third was arrested.
The arrested passenger in the car says one officer urged the other to shoot Nahel at point-blank range. The youth alleged that “the first officer asked Nahel to roll down the window. He told him ‘turn off the engine or I will shoot you’. And he hit him with the gun. Then the second officer arrived and stood in front of the windshield at Nahel’s height. From there, the first officer standing at the level of the window put a gun to his temple and said “don’t move or I’ll put a bullet in your head.”
He went on to report that the second officer told him “shoot him,” and when a frightened Nahel let his foot off the pedal, which was an automatic and not in a parked position, it started moving and the officer in front of the vehicle fired point blank.
The man who killed Nahel Merzouk is 38-year-old police officer Florian Menesplier. Menesplier previously served in Afghanistan under France’s 35th infantry regiment and was a motorcyclist with the Direction de l’ordre public et de la circulation (DOPC, Directorate of Public Order and Traffic). Before that he belonged to the compagnie de sécurisation et d’intervention 93 (CSI 93, Security and Intervention Unit 93), which was ordered to disband in 2020.
The unit was the subject of 17 judicial investigations for “violence, racist remarks, unlawful arrests, extortion of dealers” and more. He was also a member of the BRAV-M (Motorized Brigades for the Repression of Violent Action), a unit decried for its violence during the Yellow Vests movement, which he joined shortly after its creation on October 1, 2020.
