Anti-vaxxer Simone Gold, who breached the Capitol on Jan 6, is back in headlines for misusing funds at America's Frontline Doctors. Now sued by Joey Gilbert. Reporters, add context! Joey is #PurpleMeathead, who called Alex Jones up the Capitol steps, then ran for NV governor...1/
Joey Gilbert has been publicly identified as #PurpleMeathead since May 2021. He and Gold were both scheduled to be speak on Jan 6 (same rally as Stewart Rhodes) but climbed the Capitol steps instead. Joey didn't go inside, but he confronted police.. 2/
Here's Joey pulling down barriers. The FBI will surely come for him, now that campaign season is over. (Joey came 2nd in the Republican primary with 28% of the vote). He's is a public figure, and his Capitol activities belong in news stories about him. 3/
@willsommer, the context on America's Frontline Doctors is also important. It was founded by Jeff Barke, a major figure in Orange County CA, who pushes dodgy charter schools and has ties to Hillsdale Academy. And the Trump campaign helped organize it. 4/

Joey Gilbert #PurpleMeathead was a serious candidate for state governor. Holding politicians to account for their Jan 6 activities will only happen if reporters call them on it. Joey's no tourist: here he is just after the Plaza breach, urging the crowd to rush the steps. 5/
Many many #seditionhunters worked on Joey and his entourage - he brought his father to the Capitol too, a former officer in the Marines and a member of Nevada's Homeland Security Commission. They deserve full reporting. 6/
Here's Joey Gilbert and John Strand together on a private jet back in happier days. Grifters and scammers like this nearly toppled our democracy - they brought the mob that was the weapon for the Capitol attack. They need full reporting. 7/

Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 🧵1/ ImageImageImage
This thread will be long. Finding the key contradictions took just a few hours, back in May, but it’s important to be complete. So I’ll go through it all, and why it’s dangerous for the US.

Please retweet. Sunshine disinfects. All sources are at bit.ly/ElonMuskThread

Catching Elon in a lie isn’t hard. In 2013: “I had to [stay in school]..otherwise I’d get kicked out of the country.” (This is correct.) Then “since I already had my undergrad, I could..get an H1-B visa” (That’s a lie). In 1995 he had no degree, so no visa. He was illegal. 3/

Candace Owens, former bland lifestyle blogger abruptly transformed to a MAGA troll mid-2017, booted out of TPUSA for saying approving things about Hitler... now has things to say about Putin (good) and Zelensky (bad). These are not thoughts she just had. These people are paid. 1/
Up to mid-2016 Owens was posting about relationships & beauty & her favorite Disney princess. Then abruptly picked fights with veterans of Gamergate. June 2017 branded herself "RedPillBlack"; July announced she was a conservative, and her career was on. 2/
That's not an organic pattern. That's someone being recruited and platformed as an influencer. The conversation narrative is always popular, whether left--> right (Owens, Scott Presler), or right --> left. Her back-story is now in our "big timeline". 3/

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.

@StevieG54099097's amazing syncs are all +/- 1 s other than the NE breach, which lags by 13-39 s. 2/

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/

Now that Adam Laxalt has gone under in the NV Senate count, is it time to post that letter he signed in 2016 along with Ali Alexander (Stop the Steal), demanding the Senate not confirm a replacement for Justice Scalia - i.e. deny Merrick Garland a seat? 1/ archive.ph/aQ02D
That letter has big names on it - Ali Alexander was in fancy company. Of the signers, 12 were directly involved in pushing the Big Lie in 2020 (yellow); 2 went on Capitol grounds on Jan 6 (bold outline). John Eastman, Cleta Mitchell, Jenny Beth Martin - the gang's here. 2/
5 more signers have indirect connections (green). Adam Laxalt, AG of NV at the time, was the only AG to sign besides Ed Meese who headed it. The forces behind Jan 6 have long roots. Keeping Laxalt out of the Senate is good step to making sure the rule of law holds in America. 3/

The Twitter blue check fiasco is basically covered in Dr. Seuss (1961). The sudden widespread sale of a former status symbol results in chaos, temporary profit for those selling symbols, followed by total loss of meaning. Journalists lose their status - maybe that's the point. 1/
Dr. Seuss knew that selling the blue check makes it meaningless. Of course cutting down journalists, a backbone of Twitter's value, is bad for long-term profits. So maybe the point is not to make money long-term. Maybe the point is to stick it to the "snooty old smarties". 2/
Elon has a lot of people advising him. They're not all going to miss this. You have to assume the outcome he's getting is the point - for someone.

Full video at link. Dr. Seuss thought no status markers was a positive. Twitter's case seems less benign 3/

Anyone following this months’ Twitter saga is now hearing a lot about David Sacks and the PayPal Mafia. WSJ asked who pushed Elon to buy: the top 2 were Peter Thiel & David Sacks. WaPo asked who’s advising Elon now: again, Sacks. You should worry. 🧵 1/
newrepublic.com/article/168125…
Thiel organized the influencers who later pulled crowds to the Capitol on Jan 6. His Senators (Cruz, Hawley) delayed the electoral vote. Sacks is now pushing Putin’s talking points - to Elon. The links are ugly. Here’s a try at showing some, and a review. Sources at end 2/ ImageImage
Thiel & Sacks had childhoods in apartheid S. Africa (like Elon); bonded over feeling ‘canceled’ at Stanford. They wrote a book (“The Diversity Myth..”) with insensitive comments on ‘multicultural rape’. There was worse stuff in their 1992 Stanford Review “Rape Issue”. 2/ Image
