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/
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/ docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
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/ docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
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/ washingtonpost.com/investigations…
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/
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…
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/
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…
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/

Alex Pretti's killers are identified by ProPublica. The man who shot Pretti in the back ("A4") is Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa. The man who instigated the confrontation ("A1") is CBP officer Raymundo Gutierrez. Not new hires: 8 & 12 years service. 1/
ProPublica is terse about the sourcing but says "government documents" - likely a leak. Public video, public outrage, and news coverage all encourage leaks. Now the next step is obtaining the footage from the bodycam that Gutierrez ("A1") was wearing. 2/ propublica.org/article/alex-p…
A pushback on this statement by @davidmcswane. Sure, it's hard to sort out what agent did what in the chaos, but many people have done it: this account, CNN, NYT, WaPo. Just be methodical, label & describe them, and work frame by frame. People need to see the full story. 3/
The Epstein files show his wild geopolitical schemes, but realize: he was a huckster who conned his way up; his friends called him dumb. He may have been a tool. @TVolscho digs up early details: Epstein lied to get a Dalton job, got fired mid-semester since he couldn't teach. 1/
The Epstein files show him reaching out to Putin in 2013 to suggest tearing up the world's financial system. But a friend said that Epstein couldn't understand the talk at his science dinners, so would blurt out "what does that got to do with pussy". 2/ motherjones.com/criminal-justi…
As Epstein's emails show the extent of his ties to global elites, we have to manage the contradictions. Epstein curated his image, working the press. He was a genius at the con. But he was not likely the creator of all the schemes he pitched. Who was? 3/ substack.com/home/post/p-18…
New video implies one of Alex Pretti's shooters wore a bodycam that day - and shows his face.
Two agents at Pretti's murder - "A1" (NS-919), the instigator who fired at his prone body, & "A12" (NS-909) - are now seen earlier attacking another observer. The bodycam is clear. 1/
There is no suggestion that agents have changed their identifier numbers. The details of A1 / NS-919's vest match on both days, though it's seen more clearly in the new video. build. His build is the same. The new video also shows his face, partially. 2/
The new video is now linked in the summary document covered in this thread. (See Tweet 2 for link to Google Doc.) 3/
Bari Weiss is a propagandist, but not a talented one who knows how to tune her messaging by audience. She's now installed the bootlicking Niall Ferguson in all 3 of her vehicles: the University of Austin, The Free Press, and now CBS News. Same message, same tone everywhere. 1/
CNN on the same Davos speech that Ferguson gushed about: Trump was "subdued", the speech "winding, antagonistic", "filled with grievances"; the crowd "restless". Ferguson, like many rw pundits, seems to have a Daddy complex, wanting to be dominated. 2/ cnn.com/2026/01/21/pol…
Anyway, that's what CBS News will be feeding their viewers now. It's so clearly going to flop that people are speculating the point of hiring Bari Weiss was to destroy CBS: that she's Ted Lasso without the charm, filling a mission to kill a franchise. 3/
The murder of Alex Pretti is seen in at least 5 videos. The incident unfolded over less than a minute. One agent instigated. One shot. Pretti held only a camera. He had a gun, but never touched. it. The shooter saw him get disarmed, then shot him in the back, point blank. 1/
As promised, here is a multi-camera timeline, with sources and screenshots. Other people have drawn the same conclusions - that it was murder, that Pretti's shooter saw his gun removed - but this document can serve as a general reference. 2/ docs.google.com/document/d/1Yv…
It's important to understand not just the shooting but what happened before it: how the hyper-aggressive Agent 1 chased and repeatedly pushed two women, followed them when they walked over to stand with Pretti, then turned his rage on Pretti instead. He was the instigator. 3/
The NYT has a new video analysis of Renee Good's shooting which is careful, accurate, and clear - he walked across the path of a moving car, then leaned in and shot her with his feet well clear of the vehicle. 1/ nytimes.com/2026/01/15/vid…
Not many media outlets have specialized video analysis teams. CNN posted a video last week that showed Ross crossing in front of Good's car, but they missed the significance. The NYT's multicamera, frame-by-frame analysis is what's needed to understand. 2/
The NYT gets exactly right those parts of the sequence this account had separately verified, including 1) Ross switches his phone from R to L hand as he leans into his own car, and 2) Ross places his phone hand on Good's hood. They are solid. 3/ docs.google.com/document/d/1sB…
