What led to the storming of the US Capitol on January 6th? #FollowTheTimeline

POLICE BRUTALITY evidence thread. 🧵👇
On January 6th at 1:13pm: Officer Thau and the DC Metropolitan Police arrived on the Capitol’s West Plaza.

Upon arrival, Thau frantically requests Capitol Police provide him with “blast munitions” to start throwing at the mostly peaceful crowd.
Thau repeatedly requests “blast munitions” from different supervisors on the ground for the next 10 minutes.
At 1:17pm, Thau orders Capitol PD ‘snipers nest’ to continue firing indiscriminately into the crowd.

He screams “let’s go, fucking shoot them!” “Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!”
At 1:22pm, Thau grabs a DC officer’s taser. He then rushes to the front line and proceeds to tase a random protestor who can be heard screaming in pain.

The crowd responds angrily to Thau’s offensive use of the weapon, yelling “what the fuck is wrong with you guys?!”
Blast and incendiary munitions arrive at 1:25pm.

From approx 1:25pm until 2:25pm, Capitol and DC police incite the crowd with an unrelenting barrage of grenades and mortars.

Protestor Kevin Greeson drops dead at 1:28pm. Witnesses allege he was killed by one of these grenades.
On January 6th at 2:02pm, protestor Derrick Vargo is pushed from a ledge on the NW staircase by a Capitol PD officer as he attempts to hang a Trump flag.
At 2:03pm, DC police first use their LRAD system (long range acoustic device), in violation of established protocol.

DC law requires police to give 3 separate warnings with the LRAD and an opportunity to disperse before using violence or munitions to clear a protest crowd. ImageImageImage
The text images included here are from Jon Turley’s testimony on the clearing of the Pershing Park BLM protests outside the White House in 2020.

The attempted clearing of the West Plaza protest was evidently illegal according to case law highlighted in congress.gov/116/meeting/ho…… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… ImageImage
On January 6th at 2:18pm, DC police Sgt. Edwards admits to his Commander that their munitions are hitting innocent people. Officer Thau admits that they are inciting ten protestors for every person they hit. 💣🔥
At 2:19pm, the DC commander orders officers not to “lose the steps of the Capitol.”

At 2:25pm, more 40mm munitions arrive. Thau orders Officer ‘Rich’ to shoot a CS mortar “over the fucking scaffolding.”

Rich misfires and gases the entire DC police line, causing them to retreat.
At 2:33pm, Thau tells arriving DC MPD officers to abandon the West Plaza, ordering them “do not go down the fucking stairs.”
For context, here is an overhead video timelapse of the West Plaza protest. #FollowTheTimeline

First bloodshed of January 6th. The man who caused the so called riot.👇

Lloyd ordered Capitol Police to fire into a crowd who’d been standing there peacefully for 6 minutes, with no warning. (Required by law).

1/ I don't agree with Jeff Metcalf's forgiveness of the low impulse control subhuman that murdered his son. But Jeff is the one who lost a boy. Not me, not Jake Lang.

Jake Lang is capitalizing on this tragedy to gain attention for himself, and to sow discord. It is obvious to anyone with eyes to see that Jake Lang is a sociopath, aka a predator.

Saturday, I decided to sound the alarm, as I am uniquely in the position to know many things that are relatively unknown.

It is a widely held belief among the clued-in J6 community that an agency, using legal entrapment, ran CHS's on J6 to agitate violence. I have never accused anyone in public specifically—but Jake Lang, and Ryan Samsel, Landon Copeland, and Bart Shivley are certainly 4 of the likely many more on the ground, in my mind.

In addition to spending thousands of hours reviewing J6 footage, court filings and discovery, I was a part of one of the first groups of protesters to step foot on the Capitol's West Plaza at 1:00 PM, unknowingly following minutes behind Samsel, Epps and Shivley, as they pushed past police and over barricades that closed off the Peace Circle path leading from the street and public sidewalk to the Capitol's West Plaza. Once on the West Plaza, I was in the crowd feet from Samsel, Copeland, and Shivley, and saw their agitation with my own eyes. I had made Ray Epps as their handler by 1:15 PM on J6, not many, if any, can say that.

Among those who have also watched that much footage of the devolution of the protest, there is a general consensus that the above mentioned individuals, Lang excluded, were bad actors agitating the newly formed protest into a riot early on against the Capitol police. Once DC PD arrived at 1:15pm with an unlimited supply of explosive munitions, the exterior West Plaza of the US Capitol rapidly turned into a war zone, and hundreds of authentic peaceful protesters being attacked by police responded by fighting back in anger, self defense, and defense of others. Lang was not a part of this initial agitation, and was not yet on Capitol grounds. Lang arrived sometime later, joining the chaos, and swinging a bat, fighting back violent "officers", who admittedly deserved it.

Because of these circumstances, I have never felt comfortable "fed jacketing" any protesters for their actions after they were entrapped by the initial and rapidly increasing indiscriminate police agitation. I watched the incitement of authentic and peaceful protesters happen first hand in real time as police unleashed unrelenting munitions into the crowd largely consisting of retirees and families.

However, because of Jake Lang's escalation from fraudulent J6 patriot to jewish civil rights race hustler "representing White America" while stoking racial tensions between Blacks and Whites for personal gain— two days ago, Saturday, I decided to sound the alarm.

Here's what I know...Image
2/ In 2022, I learned that Jake Lang had been repeatedly in and out of trouble with the law for drugs prior to J6, in the NYC area.

Then, in January of 2025, I learned that Jake Lang was involved in 2020 BLM ANTIFA anarchy before J6, in the NYC area.

How did I learn this? No, not from disclosure from Kash, Kristi, or Pam. From Jake's own family.

I didn't know of Jake Lang until 2022, when I heard his name from my mom on a jail phone call. Turns out, Jake's step-mom is my god-mother, a woman I hadn't seen or spoken to in 20+ years, who was my mom's estranged BFF from her 20's.

Jake's step-mom revealed this information in discussions that took place from that point in 2022 until 2025. Jake's dad was present for many of these calls, specifically the January 2025 call.

Speculation:

Was Jake facing serious legal jeopardy for drug possession and intent to distribute? As a repeat offender, was Jake facing decades in prison? Was he caught with dealing Fentanyl?

Was Jake given an out, in exchange for becoming the poster boy for Anti-Government Domestic-Violent-Extremism?

Why did Jake Lang start a militia, named "NAPALM" after the chemical weapon, amplify it on the Stew Peters Network, and publish a press release fraudulently including prominent people as founding members, including county sheriffs, without their knowledge prior to the 2024 election?

Is Jake Lang knowingly operating as a judas-goat, propped up by domestic or foreign intelligence?
3/ What else is suspicious about Jake Lang, and his network of associates?

Israel.

Jake has connections to Israel and the IDF, like a number of other J6 operatives and dual national spies, such as Samuel Armes, and Asher and Gil Daniels. Jake's sister is a soldier in the IDF, an abortion doctor in Israel and the US.

Jim Hoft.

Jake's rise to prominence was the consequence of a relentless coordinated astroturfing campaign. Jake, along with other agitators like Samsel, and Shivley, was among the most promoted of J6ers, benefiting from a years long flood-the-zone disinformation campaign by Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit, who is connected to Israel and Netanyahu.

Hoft's outlet routinely disseminated fabricated stories, while sitting on others, to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars and the national profile for these select J6ers, while drowning out others. Jake started multiple funds and raked in millions in donations, giving him the power of the purse over the J6 community, thanks to the access afforded to him by Hoft and others.

Hoft positioned his media organization as a defender of J6ers, sharing their stories and chronicling their court filings, yet behind the scenes acted to muddy the waters, promote and legitimize subversives, bury stories, and further obfuscate the truth. Recall the countless solitary confinement stories by Jake. The stories of beatings, broom closets, and torture of Ryan Samsel. Bart Shivley's deadly cancer and denial of treatment, to name just a few. For context, because of Gateway's PR, these three bad actors collectively received more grass roots donations notoriety and attention than any of the other 1,000+ J6ers, combined.

In August of 2023, after spending tens of hours with Hoft's writer Alicia Powe putting together a story exposing all that i'd discovered, including; the West Plaza timeline of police attacks, unlawful orders, and escalations on the crowd without warning; bodycam and video evidence of the shots ordered by DC PD Sgt. Daniel Thau that struck me in the left temple at 1:18 PM; and admissions from the USCP CDU snipers in trial testimony that a headshot to the temple by their less lethal munitions could kill, yet Gateway Pundit refused to publish the story and sat on it...

Then, later on January 8th of 2024, Hoft published an article with this original work, my previous years findings identifying offending police officers, detailing their actions, orders, and failures to give warnings, police procedure, case law, circuit precedent, and the requirements for warnings to clear an assembly in DC; but attributed it to Jake Lang and one of his many organizations as a breaking news discovery. Hoft sat on the work and evidence i'd provided for 5 months, but then attributed it to Lang in yet another puff piece to corral donations. Due to pressure from the J6 community over the obvious theft, Hoft was forced to update the article, adding a half-hearted one sentence correction to the attribution.

On January 5th of 2024, Jim Hoft and his writers ignored my email and text messages to them sharing news of the Class Action police brutality & negligence lawsuit I filed pro se on behalf of West Plaza J6 victims, based on my investigative work. Hoft sat on the story of my pro se filing, to instead give Jake's team a chance to file and then prepare an amended "pro se" complaint multiple days later. Hoft prioritized Lang's suit, even though it included agitators Samsel and Shivley as named plaintiffs, two of the few people clearly not entitled to relief, and refused to write about the InvestigateJ6 suit, even after Jake's suit was dismissed due to his civil attorney Stefanie Lambert's failure to comply with court deadlines. Lang and Hoft continued for months advertising the suit, coined "Lang v. Thau", even though there existed no tangible connection between Lang and Thau on J6, spatial or otherwise. Meanwhile, my suit against Sgt. Thau was legitimate, as he was responsible for ordering the 1:18 PM shots that stuck me in the left temple.

Then, in December of 2024, Jim Hoft published an article titled "Here Are The Seven Men Shot In The Head by Capitol Police on January 6, 2021, Without Warning", and excluded mention of myself, even though his organization possessed the knowledge and the photo and video evidence of the shooting that struck me in the temple, and the evidence of the warning requirement, Chief Waldow and Glover's fraudulent orders, discovered by me, shared with them, and posted to X and InvestigateJ6 website more than a year prior.

General Michael Flynn.

In 2023, I linked up with an investigative journalist who wrote about my J6 research and my eyewitness account, and helped coordinate the release of my film J6: A True Timeline on January 1st 2024 by securing assistance from Catherine and Gregg from TrueTheVote, who helped promote and host the film on their site Open Ink. In late 2023, prior to the film release, this journalist leveraged her personal relationship with General Flynn to share my story, and the information I'd exposed about the crimes committed against early J6 crowd, and to gain his support. He unequivocally rejected the notion, stating that he could not and would not get behind any J6er accused of violence. On April 7th, 2024, in a space hosted by Gateway Pundit & Jim Hoft celebrating Jake Lang's birthday, General Flynn prostrated himself for Jake, commending him on his patriotism, his courage, and his tenacity, as a great American.

Deep State?
Flynn Network?
Unit 8200?

Tucker was better on Fox.

@spreadlove2024 @TuckerCarlson @gregg_re Look at all this early J6 footage @TuckerCarlson could show the world, but won't.

His producer @gregg_re and his team at Fox were given all of this last year. #J6CoverUp

J6 protestors were fired upon with NO warning. USCP Chief Waldow lied saying he gave warnings but never did.
