The new Atlantic piece on Mitt Romney calls out 3 of America's smarmiest Senators, who fake their support for Trump and betray the US, but skips how they're connected: Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz & J.D. Vance owe their careers to Peter Thiel. They're owned. 1/

It's bizarre that the Atlantic links Hawley, Cruz, & Vance but won't say they share a patron. It matters who pulls their strings: Hawley and Cruz are the 2 Senators who upheld objections to the electoral vote on Jan 6. Without them, no Capitol attack. 2/

Ted Cruz, who worked on post-election maneuvers for Bush vs. Gore in 2000, was Thiel's first successful political project. Thiel funded Cruz's run for TX Attorney General in 2009, then for Senate in 2012. Cruz won with the help of Ali Alexander's set. 3/
Thiel has managed Hawley for decades. Hawley wrote for Thiel's Stanford Review. Thiel helped Hawley found Teneo in 2008, then funded his run for Senate. (James O'Keefe tipped the election to Hawley with dirty tricks; this gang is all linked.) 4/

Hawley's Teneo was in the news recently - ProPublica and Esquire wrote about how dangerous it is - but bizarrely left out that Josh Hawley was a founder. These links matter; it's irresponsible to leave them out. 5/

Sen. JD Vance of Ohio is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Peter Thiel. Thiel met law student Vance in 2011, then became his patron: installed him at Mithril Capital in 2016; set him up with Narya Capital in 2019; gave him a slot at 2019 NatCon, spent $10M running him for Senate. 6/

The Atlantic nailed the insincerity of Senators Hawley, Cruz, and Vance, their "oily disingenuousness". (Mitt Romney: "I don’t know that I can disrespect someone more than J. D. Vance".) But they left out the WHY - the money, and the paymaster, Thiel. 7/

After the Jan 6 Capitol attack, Roger Stone sought "pre-emptive" pardons for Hawley and Cruz. They are in deep. The Jan 6 "Big Timeline" has 58 entries for Hawley, 41 for Cruz, and 12 for Vance. It's worth a read. 8/

Let’s talk about Graham Platner’s Big Lie. In 2009, at the height of the Gulf War, the Marines barred him from active duty. Platner claims it was his forearm tattoos. But his one forbidden tattoo was the Nazi symbol on his chest. He left the Marines rather than give it up. 1/ Image
This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/
docs.google.com/document/d/1fN…
Back to 2009: Platner had finished 4 years active duty and enrolled in college, but quickly dropped out and wanted to go back to war. The Gulf War was raging; the Marines were so shorthanded they were recalling servicemen to duty. But they didn’t want Platner. 3/ Image

Newsflash: the men whose 2020 plan to steal the election was rejected as too crazy, are now tasked with stealing the 2026 election.

On Dec. 18, 2020, Trump vetoed Mike Flynn and Patrick Byrne's plan of seizing voting machines. He green-lit Jan 6 instead. But now they're back. 1/
Dec. 18, 2020 was the decision point that set the Capitol attack in motion. Around midnight, Flynn and Byrne were kicked out of the White House. At 1:42 AM Trump sent the first message about Jan 6 instead. But Jan 6 failed, and now Trump is desperate. 2/
Flynn and Byrne, the two key men Trump has asked to help him steal the 2026 election, were both compromised by Russian agents. Flynn dined in Moscow with Putin. Byrne was seduced by Russian agent Maria Butina. And now they want to steal your vote. 3/

WaPo reports: Trump put his receptionist Chamberlain Harris on the arts commission reviewing his ballroom. They omit: in 2021 Harris helped Trump move classified docs to Mar-a-Lago, kept some on her laptop. And once that went public, she wiped a 2019 trip to Russia off her CV. 1/ Image
Chamberlain Harris had a fast rise: from VP of her college TPUSA chapter, then a summer trip to Russia, then into the White House in just a few months. A bit over a year later, she was Trump's trusted helper who helped him pack up classified material. 2/
theguardian.com/us-news/2023/f…
Her career trajectory - TPUSA right to the West Wing - wouldn't be surprising in DC, except for how she started scrubbing her LinkedIn when the publicity over Trump's classified documents grab began. The first thing to go was the trip to Russia. Then the entire LinkedIn. 3/ Image

Alex Pretti's killers are identified by ProPublica. The man who shot Pretti in the back ("A4") is Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa. The man who instigated the confrontation ("A1") is CBP officer Raymundo Gutierrez. Not new hires: 8 & 12 years service. 1/
ProPublica is terse about the sourcing but says "government documents" - likely a leak. Public video, public outrage, and news coverage all encourage leaks. Now the next step is obtaining the footage from the bodycam that Gutierrez ("A1") was wearing. 2/

A pushback on this statement by @davidmcswane. Sure, it's hard to sort out what agent did what in the chaos, but many people have done it: this account, CNN, NYT, WaPo. Just be methodical, label & describe them, and work frame by frame. People need to see the full story. 3/ Image

The Epstein files show his wild geopolitical schemes, but realize: he was a huckster who conned his way up; his friends called him dumb. He may have been a tool. @TVolscho digs up early details: Epstein lied to get a Dalton job, got fired mid-semester since he couldn't teach. 1/ Image
The Epstein files show him reaching out to Putin in 2013 to suggest tearing up the world's financial system. But a friend said that Epstein couldn't understand the talk at his science dinners, so would blurt out "what does that got to do with pussy". 2/
motherjones.com/criminal-justi…Image
As Epstein's emails show the extent of his ties to global elites, we have to manage the contradictions. Epstein curated his image, working the press. He was a genius at the con. But he was not likely the creator of all the schemes he pitched. Who was? 3/

New video implies one of Alex Pretti's shooters wore a bodycam that day - and shows his face.

Two agents at Pretti's murder - "A1" (NS-919), the instigator who fired at his prone body, & "A12" (NS-909) - are now seen earlier attacking another observer. The bodycam is clear. 1/ Image
Image
There is no suggestion that agents have changed their identifier numbers. The details of A1 / NS-919's vest match on both days, though it's seen more clearly in the new video. build. His build is the same. The new video also shows his face, partially. 2/ Image
The new video is now linked in the summary document covered in this thread. (See Tweet 2 for link to Google Doc.) 3/
