Some #SeditionHunters reassurances: 1) the effort can go on even if Twitter fails 2) a report on the physical Jan 6 attack will be written even if the J6C doesn't.
Review of progress & resources: sync video is now timed to 1s on both sides of the Capitol (L: East, R: West)..1/
..letting us see how the Capitol attack was paced. In Tweet 1 video, the #BigMediaTowerFlag is dipped on the W just as Alex Jones climbs the E steps.
Release of security cam has let us build syncs over 3 hours long on both East and West sides of the Capitol. The channel also has some short highlighted clips showing the 'little signals' that mark the breaches. 3/
Maps and timelines of the Capitol attack are at bit.ly/Jan6Analysis. The attack is broken down into phases; each is described and has its own map showing major movements and breaches. 4/
The stages of the attack are described in the "Phases" timeline, see docs.google.com/document/d/1jx…. Phases were defined in Oct. 2021 and the framework has held up. (Only 1 real change: the end of Phase 4 was moved back 7 minutes to 2:48 PM when we learned of one additional breach.) 5/
The "Timelines" folder holds multiple timeline versions that describe the attack. Some have clickable video links (L). The "Big Timeline" (R) has the most detailed accounting of events on Jan 6, including the movements of the major influencers. 6/ drive.google.com/drive/folders/…
The #SeditionHunters video archiving effort, led by @justhelpingout6, is now over 41,000 items (>5 TB), w/
4,888 Facebook accounts
1,476 Twitter
1,367 YouTube
882 Tiktok
636 Instagram
146 Rumble
+ Gab, Gettr, Telegram, Periscope, Snapchat, BitChute, Odysee, Twitch, DLive, etc..7/
All video is publicly available on archive.org. The easiest way to start is through Jan6evidence.com: you can search ~3000 videos by time, location, and hashtag. For example, anyone searching for Ray Epps (#BigMagaCamo) can quickly find 30 sightings... 8/
The visualizer is no longer updated so some links are dead, but you can find all 41,000+ archived Jan 6 media items through the amazing media sheet (h/t the Jan6evidence team). No hashtag match but you can search by title, video ID, account, etc. 9/ jan6evidence.com/#/media-items
The media list doesn't include Parler videos, but those with location and timestamps are available on the ProPublica website, and others are hand-annotated with time, location, and suspect hashtags on jan6attack.com/videos.htm 10/
Of the ~15K invaders at the Capitol, over 1000 are fully hashtagged & over 3000 numbered. jan6attack.com/individuals.ht… allows search by hashtag, appearance, or affiliation; click for more photos, videos, & descriptions. Below are some of the over 250 Proud Boys at the Capitol. 11/
A full set of tags, including all 3000+ numbered "insiders" who entered the Capitol, is at seditionhunters.org/perpsheet/. This site is less searchable but more complete. 12/
For arrested suspects, you can find all court documents, as well as photos and description, at seditiontracker.com, built by @seditiontrack. 13/
The 'Agency Response Timeline', in the bit.ly/Jan6Analysis "Timelines" folder, compares all reports by responding law enforcement agencies to known events, showing their discrepancies. It also provides a compact graph that captures the attack. 14/ docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
This is only a partial list of the open-access resources that have been assembled. All are listed and linked in the Jan6Analysis "Resources" document. Downloading this document will give you a reference guide to use in the event that Twitter goes down. 15/ docs.google.com/document/d/1zB…
Losing Twitter would be painful, as it holds nearly 2 years of work by the #SeditionHunters community - contributions by hundreds of volunteers who used Twitter as a shareable 'notebook'. But it's not fatal and the work of synthesizing what's been learned is well underway. 16/

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/ aila.org/library/presid…
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/ docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
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/
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/
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

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! stanfordpolitics.org/2017/11/27/pet…
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/
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…
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/
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/ technologyreview.com/2025/06/30/111…
