#SeditionHunters - a big one has dropped, the first major arrest of Nick Fuentes' Groypers: the neo-Nazi #SuitGuy, Joseph Brody, and his 4 friends (#SuitGuysFlock). This is a big one and some things about it are still embargoed - it will only get bigger. 1/
#SeditionHunters have maintained a mega-thread on this set since March 2021. #SuitGuysFlock walked in with Fuentes' Groyper Army (he brought over 200 followers) but then moved together all day: four young college-aged men and their older mentor. 2/
The iconic picture of #SuitGuy in Tweet 1 is by Victor Blue and was named one of Time's Top 100 photos of the year. He is as scary as the photo implies. Inside the Capitol, his flock following him, he reached the Senate floor. 3/

#WhitePufferBrat, one of the Flock members, is SUNY Binghamton student Jon Lizak, president of the NY Federation of College Republicans and a public figure in his own right, famous for suing his university in 2020: he felt he was 'censored' after a 'leftist mob' hassled him. 4/
SUNY-Binghamton students scuffled before a talk by economist Art Laffer; Lizak's group and TPUSA sued the college president. Figuring out what happened is hard since articles are mostly from one side. Lizak's vandalism on Jan 6 doesn't help his case. 5/
#SeditionHunters tracked and identified the whole Flock: Joseph Brody (#SuitGuy), Jon Lizak (#WhitePufferBrat), Paul Lovley (#BrownSweaterBrat), Thomas Carey (#MAGAPumpkinBrat) and Gabriel Chase (#BlackAdidasBrat). The charging documents are built on that meticulous work. 6/
On Jan 6 morning, Fuentes' Groypers gathered near the Washington Monument, then marched to the Capitol, chanting "we want Trump". #SuitGuy had his gaiter down. 7/
Photojournalist @sandibachom filmed the Groypers marching too, now chanting "Christ is King" and "f-k you journalist". The older guy in front with the megaphone is S. Calif. extremist Kim Sorgente (#BigBadSamaritan), arrested for assault at the tunnel. 8/
#SuitGuysFlock thought they were super-stealthy going covered up all day on Jan 6, but they went to the 'rehearsal' rallies in months before with faces uncovered, sometimes even wearing the same clothes. On Dec. 12 they marched with Proud Boys around them. 9/
Correction: Kim Sorgente, the older man with the Groypers carrying a megaphone & wearing a "Deus Vult" Jesus shirt, is tagged #BadSamaritanGrey. He & #BigBadSamaritan got their tags by falling on Rosanne Boyland at the tunnel - and walking away from her body without helping. 10/
The Jan 6 Capitol attack was fueled by a long, deliberate campaign of rallies and social media. Nick Fuentes (#IamNickFuentes) - who praised Hitler at this year's AFPAC conference - was a major player. His extremism was tolerated if he brought a crowd. 1/
Hitler-loving Nick Fuentes brought the 2nd largest group to the Capitol on Jan 6, after the Proud Boys. He showed his intent in his speech from the Peace Monument: "We should not leave this Capitol until Donald Trump is inaugurated president!" Conspiracy charges may be coming 12/
Footage in Tweet 12 is from @LCRWnews; search hashtags for much more. On Jan 6 Fuentes' Groypers spread all over the Capitol, often moving in groups with their flags. Since that day he's called the attack "f--ing awesome". But reckoning is coming. 13/

To honor Charlie Kirk, a thread on his words about Jan 6. Let us cherish and remember them - which is easy since 41 of his sentences are "I'm invoking my Fifth Amendment right not to testify". That is, Kirk thought his words could be used in a criminal prosecution. 1/ Image
Charlie Kirk's deposition, with all his evasions, is a public document for anyone to read; this thread will hit some of the highlights. 2/
govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GP…Image
In response to the J6C's subpoena, Charlie Kirk handed over thousands of pages of Turning Point messages about the $1M+ they spent on the Jan 6 rallies and buses to bring the mob to DC ...but Kirk withheld all his personal text messages. He took the 5th when asked about them. 3/ Image

If Trump is once again declaring Antifa a terrorist organization, that's not a good sign. The last time he did that was on Jan 5, 2021. The next day the Proud Boys "dressed as Antifa" when they set off the attack on the US Capitol. 1/
Trump started talking about "Antifa terrorists" in May 2020, during the George Floyd protests (when he also mused about shooting protestors). After he lost the election, he swapped his Secretary of Defense, then on Jan 5 issued a declaration on Antifa. 2/

Hard to tell whether Trump is rehashing old memories or planning something new, but it's not a good sign. Before Jan 6 they worked hard to build up 'Antifa' as a shadowy threat. And Charlie Kirk helped with Jan 6: with money, buses, and Antifa stories. 3/

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
