Three major January 6 figures were trailed by film crews, all foreign (Donald Trump, Enrique Tarrio: UK; Roger Stone: DK). Not likely random. Documenting your coup goes better if the filmer is less emotionally invested. Here's the subpoena (& response) by Alex "Leni" Holder 1/ ImageImage
Let's review the timing: by mid-September the machine for Jan 6 was already in motion: rallies, new organizations, talk of martial law. "Stop the Steal" was announced Sep 7. Holder's statement says he started the next week. 2/

At the Capitol, #NeonFilmer, who filmed straight into the violent tunnel fight, is an Italian cinematographer working for BardsFM. Several videographers with better gear, pro stuff, have no known ID or outlet & their footage has never appeared. We called them "in-house media". 3/
#SeditionHunters have archived media from over 400 professional videographers and reporters. If you carried pro gear at the Capitol & are not on this list (especially you in the neon pink jacket) please contact us before we turn over info to the J6C. 4/

In fairness to the DK crew trailing Stone, they had long worked with him, & Stone cut them off for the 3 critical hours of the Capitol attack itself (1-4 PM). Which says: Stone may not have fully expected or understood the scale of violence to come. 4/

Here's #NeonFilmer & some in-house media pals from another angle. Circled (& in Tweet 3 video), is "Trump's Brick Suit Guy" #IamBlakeMarnell - wore an RSBN press pass on J6 but also brandished a pitchfork, cheered the attack. The filmer by the tunnel is Andrew Morgan, arrested 6/ Image
Update: for those want to know what depth of film-making experience it takes to be granted exclusive access to the US president, here is Alex Holder's IMDb page. Total: two production credits, ever. 7/
imdb.com/name/nm6831298… Image
Holder's doc "Keep Quiet" profiles a former leader of Hungary's far-right anti-semitic Jobbik party. Storyline: Szegedi finds he is in fact Jewish, moves to Israel. Sadly too much Jan 6 makes you cynical, too many such magic transformations: right-->left or left--> right. 8/ Image
Candace Owens (#Blexit), Brandon Straka (#Walkaway), Asher Meza (#Jexit), Cassandra Fairbanks (Anon --> conservative), Anna Khait (honeypot --> Christian). So effective to say, "I was different, now I have changed". Maybe Szegedi's the real deal. Sure could use some reporting. 9/
Alex Holder now tells Rolling Stone he was hired directly by the Trump family & has "never-before-seen" footage of the Capitol attack. Let's take bets. Which "in-house" videographer will he feature? And was Trump getting that video live on Jan 6? 10/
web.archive.org/web/2022062121… Image
In case it's not clear: the week after Stop the Steal was announced, the Trump family hired a foreign filmmaker whose only prior experience was laundering the reputation of an extremist politician - and who now has his own, exclusive footage of the attack on the US Capitol. 11/

As weird as it is to see Trump, his VP, SecDef, and SecState out in DC with hardly any security, it is weirder that it was Codepink that was protesting. Codepink is an astroturfed "women for peace" group whose "peace" means giving Putin whatever he wants. Slavishly pro-Russia. 1/
Codepink has left such a long trail of dubious actions and shadowy funding that @P_Kallioniemi, who posts about Russian influencers, needed 23 Tweets to outline it all. If they are involved, tonight's events were not a normal protest. 2/
Medea Benjamin, Codepink co-founder, is so committed to Putin's talking points that she wrote an entire book about the Russia-Ukraine war rehashing them: Ukraine provoked the invasion! 2014 in Ukraine was not the people's liberation but a US coup! Nothing about this is normal. 3/ Image

Welcome comrades to the new free-speech university UATX, created by the co-founder of Palantir! Today after early-morning calisthenics we will discuss the writings of the Palantir CEO and also co-founder. Be ready to discuss his belief that companies must take over the state. 1/ Image
Tomorrow's topic: how Joe Lonsdale and Alex Karp exemplify Merit and not Woke DEI! Both
* were student friends of Peter Thiel. Lonsdale edited Thiel's Stanford Review.
* spent their entire careers in companies created or funded by Thiel
Next week: "Freedom is Slavery"
-- UATX
2/
Comrades - building an empire of proteges is not Woke DEI but Righteous Merit! Because your friends obviously have more Merit than those, well, other people. Competitive job applications bad, hiring your friends good! - UATX. Where Speech is Free!

Eric Schmitt's blood-and-soil nationalism at Peter Thiel's NatCon this week is making news - but this isn't new. Schmitt's staffer Nate Hochman, posting here, was fired in 2013 from Ron DeSantis' campaign for pushing a video where the Florida flag turns into a Nazi Sonnenrad. 1/
MO Senator Eric Schmitt hired Hochman AFTER he got internationaly famous for using a Nazi symbol. That tells you a lot. Schmitt didn't mind the Sonnnerad, or Hochman's later work pushing conspiracy theories about immigrants. 2/
theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j…
When you listen to Eric Schmitt deny that America was founded on an idea about liberty - he says it was just meant as a homeland for white people - remember this guy is fine with Nazi Sonnenrads. And he's now in the US Senate. It can happen here. 3/

The guy who is going viral complaining that "we" have judges who aren't what "the founders intended" is... based in Italy, named his substack after a cultish Russian philosophy, and uses a profile picture of a man who grew up in Nazi Germany and became a mercenary in Africa. 1/ Image
Note that this account isn't "captivedreamer7", the now-famous racist who is actually Canadian. This guy seems truly European from his posts and his pretentious Substack, which is very focussed on the German officer Ernst Junger (anti-Nazi at the end). 2/
web.archive.org/web/2025080301…Image
His profile picture is another German soldier: Rolf Steiner was too young to join the Nazis (though his father did). Like Junger he went to the French Foreign Legion, then tried to overthrown the government of France and fought in a French mercenary unit in the Biafran war. 3/ Image

The techbro takeover of the US continues: while CDC employees "clap out" their principled leaders who resigned, Trump swears in a 2-decade Peter Thiel advisor to lead CDC. Thiel's Palantir already has all your data. He controls your VP. Now he controls your public health too. 1/
No one's even trying to hide the Thiel takeover anymore. Jim O'Neill's been a key Thiel lieutenant for nearly 20 years. He ran the Thiel foundation, Thiel's Clarium Capital and Mithril Capital (the one that employed JD Vance). 2/
citizen.org/article/jim-on…
Jim O'Neill's not just a Thiel lieutenant, he's a true acolyte, pushing all Peter's fruitcake ideas: building government-free floating cities. Achieving eternal life. Getting kids to drop out of college. And he says drug safety testing is for wimps. 3/

Trump's posts are getting really transparent. His plan for power - probably Jan 6, certainly now - is to create a violent, chaotic event and order in troops. He's saying it plainly now. He's also invoking the antisemitic Soros conspiracy created by his own political mentors. 1/
What's happening in the US makes more sense if you get that it's the same group of people doing the same things, over and over. The Soros conspiracy was created by a US political advisor - Roger Stone's mentor - to elect Hungarian autocrat Viktor Orban. 2/
The US is not special, and our would-be fascist overlords - not just Trump but Silicon Valley techbros - look to Hungary as a model. Orban crashed his economy and made Hungary the poorest country in Europe, but he got power and that's what they want. 3/
