It's Sunday July 3rd, today the 1776 Restoration movement (aka, Santa & the morality police) will have their last rally before they do... something... in or around DC tomorrow on July 4th. #convoywatch #1776RM #moralitypolice 1 of n

Today some of the group planned to go to a local "biker church", I didn't see any streams of the service so I'm not entirely sure if that happened. Some of the group is back at camp getting ready for today's rally which runs from 2-6pm. 2 of n

And hello new followers! I’m a researcher with a focus on how misinfo & disinfo contribute to extremism, I follow the convoy & 1776RM as part of my work. I tweet about their travels to help folks on the ground avoid or be prepared for the arrival of this high-impact group. 3 of n

If you'd like to help, you can do so by @'ing me with info, sending tips via DM, or buying me a coffee. This work is time consuming & while I don't do this b/c of money (tbh I'd make more $$ as a grocery store cashier) your contributions help a lot. 4 of n buymeacoffee.com/qremedyresearch

There is a convoy adjacent rally in Philadelphia today, there has been chatter on the 1776RM social media that part of that group will go to join up with 1776RM this evening. I'm not sure how many (if any) will do so, but I'm keeping an eye on it. 5 of n

Someone claiming to be the president of the Berkeley Springs, WV "Threepers" (aka, III%ers, 3%ers, Three Percenters) have reached out the 1776RM via their FB group. In the comments on the post, the OP said the group may attend today's #1776RM rally. 6 of n splcenter.org/fighting-hate/…

Rally stage is set up, looks pretty similar to yesterday though I don't remember if the bikes (or they might be trikes?) were there on Saturday. The setup is odd- they have shade structures but they're pretty far from the stage so the lot always look empty & kind of sad. 7 of n

It's 2:22pm, someone is finally getting up on stage and speaking. Intro speech & prayer was done by Edwina "Rose" Koepsell, then they said the pledge. Now Simon is on stage to recite quotes & speeches, then they'll sing "worship music." Very different vibe from yesterday. 8 of n

The crowd seems worn out, tired, and/or hungover. Usually there are a few streamers and other ppl up by the stage but today all are in the shade. They usually have a quieter day after a rally to bounce back. 2 rallies in 2 days, right before the 4th, was likely a mistake. 9 of n

Now they're doing "worship songs". I'm gonna grab a snack, I'll check back on them in 10 minutes or so. 10 of n

Interesting, the worship music person says they're local. That segment is over, now Victoria is on stage making some announcements (raffle, silent auction, lunch is delayed as usual, thanking live streamers, etc). Next up is Ron (another local) singing national anthem. 11 of n

Next speaker is Chuck, he spoke at the rally yesterday as well. He's the web designer for 1776RM, as well as frequent attendee and speaker at their rallies. Content is basically the same as all his other speeches so I'm not covering it. 12 of n

It's 3:25, they're serving lunch now. I'll post again when there's another speaker or something interesting happens. At least one person in the food line at the #1776RM rally was wearing threeper gear (see post 6 of this thread for more details about that group). 13 of n

Things seem to be starting up again, it's 4:05pm. I'm not sure of this speaker's name, I think someone referenced Nebraska so maybe she's from Nebraska? It sounds like she's part of the 1776RM so this is probably another "why we are here patriot testimonial" thing. 14 of n

The Level 3 registered sex offender is on stage at the #1776RM spouting anti-trans rhetoric. icrimewatch.net/offenderdetail… . Lots of "Satan is stopping me, God helped get me out here, spiritual warfare" type stuff. 15 of n

Oh for pete's sake, the lsat guy just finished and now they have a 13 year old child on stage speaking. I'm so tired of this. 16 of n

It's auction time again. I'm not watching that, I'm gonna drink a root beer (unofficial drink of the anti-convoy movement) and check back in 10 minutes. 17 of n

Another local on stage who says they are are farmer, I didn't catch their name and nothing they're saying is particularly unique. Another 1776RM member is speaking now, a streamer who goes home to work during the week and comes to Bunker Hill, WV on the weekends. 18 of n

There have been a few more speakers, all seem to be members of the 1776RM and/or the convoy(s) before that. The themes are all pretty similar- false statements about the 2020 election, being inspired by the Canadian convoys, recent major traumas an/dor losses, and god. 19 of n

It's 5:20pm, Santa & the morality police are taking another rally intermission for dessert (there's ice cream!), for people to shop at the vendors, to look at the motorcycles, and to enter the 50/50 raffle. But first, Victoria invited the Threepers up on stage to speak. 20 of n

A small portion of the 1776RM group are going offsite to a barbecue, the streamers says it's being organized by the people who run the church they attended this morning. It's still not clear if/when there will be an evening meeting or when they'll be rolling out tomorrow. 21 of n

The group remaining at camp seems to be continuing the rally, right now they're eating banana splits and listening to JFK's inaugural address over the sound system. The speech ended, now a 1776RM member is talking about tracing their genealogy back to the Mayflower. sigh. 22 of n

They're auctioning more stuff off, mostly patriotic decor with a few conspiracy theory books thrown in to add a little variety. The rally was scheduled to end ten minutes ago at 6pm, I'm not sure how much longer this is gonna keep going for. 23 of n

The auction part seems to be over and another 1776RM member is speaking now. Someone is walking around selling tickets to the 50/50 raffle. It's a half hour after the rally was scheduled to end. 24 of n

David "Santa" Riddell takes the stage, he's usually the final speaker of the rally. I'll post when he's done if there's anyone useful/important in it about tomorrow's plans or other future plans. 25 of n

Most of the speech so far is about his truck? Oh now he's talking about the Ottawa convoys inspiring him, that makes sense. Says he's not a grifter because he has spent a bunch of money convoying, and that "you can't put a price tag on freedom". 26 of n

https://twitter.com/NoMoreQuarks/status/1543727307742912515

He referred to tomorrow the next few days (?) as "a shot across the bow", but says it will be easy. This is a long speech, ugh. References to miracles and being backed by "the one true god" and that people who oppose them are the forces of darkness or something like that. 27 of n

Riddell is asking them to pledge an oath on a bible (he has a dozen). It begins "I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same...." 28 of n

The oath isn't identical to any I'm familiar with, but it is similar to the Qanon Oath of the Digital Soldier, oaths taken when enlisting, the oath taken by members of congress, and probably some other things. Riddell describes it as a modified version of a military oath. 29 of n

Rally ends with a prayer where Riddell hopes everyone is brainwashed by the god that he believes in, and then everyone shouted "Freedom" and chants USA. Livestreams are going dark, likely so he can share tomorrow's plan with them. Curious to see if (when) that info leaks. 30 of n

I missed this moment of the meeting, and I'm really glad I did b/c I'd probably have flipped out if I had to watch the rest of the rally after hearing that line. Every time I think the #1776RM can't go any lower, they start digging. 31 of n

Over on Facebook, the 1776RM group mods & members are posting inspirational messages and prayers for tomorrow's "protest". This particular post included the Qanon reference "WWG1WGA"- it's featured fairly often on 1776RM merch, streams, & posts. 32 of n

It doesn't seem like there are any streams coming out of the camp so I'm gonna close this thread and head to bed. I'll be up early tomorrow to see what (if anything) the 1776RM does on July 4th. See you all then! 33 of 33, end of thread
