THREAD: 1) Today is #HolocaustRememberanceDay the 78th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz Many years ago I started telling the stories of survivors, since then I was at Charlottesville and the Capitol and the rise of Holocaust deniers is alarming.
2) The Nazis vilified the press as the enemy of the people, the Nazis planted 'fake news' letters in the newspapers. 'If the lie is big enough and repeated often enough, IT IS BELIEVED. They dehumanized the Jews, bit by bit. Fascism and antisemitism is rampant here.
3) My friends, Werner Reich and Walter Spier were tattooed 10 numbers apart in Auschwitz but didn't meet until 70 years later facebook.com/watch/?v=20091… via @FacebookWatch
4) When I returned from Charlottesville I asked my friend Werner Reich what he thought 'Jews will not replace us' meant because it was so shocking to hear it.
5) Years ago I filmed @TimothyDSnyder at the Museum of Jewish Heritage
6) Werner talked about how the German's patented the crematoriums to kill the Jews 'more efficiently'
7) This is the Auschwitz exhibit at the @MJHnews
8) The first film I did was an incredible story when I asked Werner if there was any laughter in Auschwitz. This 'joke' saved my life
9) Seeing swastika flags in Charlottesville (there were NO fine Nazis btw), the Proud Boys and George Santos doing the white power sign, the language of hate and bigotry. We must never forget, because #NeverAgainIsNow lasteyewitnessproject.com
10) Walter Spier on the left, Werner Reich in the middle and the gentleman on the right were all sent to Auschwitz as boys. Walter and Werner were tattooed 10 numbers apart but didn't meet till 70 years later Image

CONNECTING DOTS: 1) The arrest of Charles McGonigal, Former Special Agent in Charge of the New York FBI Counterintelligence is significant, he was linked to Russian oligarch Deripaska and charged with money laundering.
2) Manafort worked for Deripaska. In 2016 Manafort was brought on to the campaign just before the convention. He later asked Kilimnik to pass on the polling data to Deripaska (which means to the Russian government.)
3) Manafort changed ONE thing in the GOP platform having to do with Ukraine. He also introduced Mike Pence to Trump. I was at the press conference where Pence was announced. 7/6/16

1) THREAD: PAY ATTENTION to this George Santos MAGA Moment. A video surfaced this week of Santos introducing himself as Anthony Devolder. He said he organized a group United For Trump at a rally on 3/23/19 with charged insurrectionist, Brandan Straka of Walk Away.
2) I’ve shot a thousand hours over the past 7 years. In the beginning large numbers of Trump supporters showed up with flags and hats. Now it’s a handful. But the same radicalized group with the same hats and flags stormed the Capitol by the thousands on January 6.
3) At this rally, former Proud Boy Jovi Val brought a confederate flag. What’s fascinating to me is the chaos and confusion within their ranks. They inherently knew the flag represented hate, yet over the next 2 years they would embrace this symbol of white supremacy.

THREAD: 1) Proud Boy, Enrique Tarrio's trial is today. There were two 'rehearsal' rallies before January 6th I covered all threee. The first was November 14, 2020 and the Proud Boys numbers were pretty big
2) The second and most violent was December 12 there were huge numbers and Enrique was in CHARGE. I was always suspicious of his arrest on Jan 4th thought they wanted him out of the picture
3) The third was January 6th which had been planned down to the minute months before

1) IMPORTANT THREAD: The pipe bombs were found at 12:40pm and set to go off 20 minutes later at 1pm. Trump's speech was and hour late, didn't go on till 12 (I always thought to give the proud boys cover he was still talking at 12:53pm the first barricade breach.
2) If the bombs had gone off at 1, it would have been just after Trump's original speech time at 11 and DC would have been SHUT DOWN. IF they went off during the speech it would have been shut down too. I always believed they were never supposed to go off. His speech ended 1:11
3) NOTHING happened by mistake that day, the breach of the Capitol took 19 mins from the first window break to the oath keepers on the east side. It was a military operation. plus this was the THIRD rally the other two were rehearsals.

1) WATCH @NicolleDWallace with @jimrutenberg I've always believed Ukraine was the reason Russia backed Trump. First of all, Manafort came on to the campaign out of nowhere just before the GOP convention and he changed ONE THING in the platform having to do with Ukraine.
2) Around that time, I filmed Trump's press conference 7/16/16 introducing Pence as VP. Manafort introduced Pence to Trump for the evangelical vote. The whole presser was about the evangelical vote and the promises he made.
3) BY the time the Access Hollywood tapes were dropped 10/8/16 (The October Surprise) and Guccifer 2.0 wikileaks, the Trump supporters were shockingly all in on the 'big lie'

1) I’ve been filming QAnons for years. I ask them two questions. When did you go into it how? They all say the same date October 28, 2017. Most day from 4chan or 8 chan. One guy in Milwaukee at a Trump rally told me from Guciffer 2.0 that’s when I realized it was an op
2) I was in Hagerstown at one of the truckers protest and there was a guy with a Q anon truck and I said when was the last drop and he said December 2020 and I asked why and he said because we don’t need them anymore
3) I believe that was the last drop because the work was done. Their purpose was to get them all there for the three stop the steal rallies. Nov 14, Dec 12 and Jan 6
