Now that the country is trying to return to “normal”, expect the #Racism & #Retaliation to re-emerge. Some of the same people, even in our industry, who were involved in the #favoritism #nepotism #cronyism gossip and whisper campaigns -that comprise the foundation of racism… Are returning to their old habits. Let’s not forget that some of these same people cried, protested, complained and railed against #SystemicRacism, simply because they had to, to avoid being exposed and branded as what and who they are. They key is to recognize and call them out

URGENT: Lawyers for @navalny were prevented from seeing him. When they finally did, @vkaramurza says “they saw a man hardly able to walk, struggling to get off his bed, unable to feel his right leg, and suffering sharp and constant back pain. “Navalny forbade us from making this public, but … we decided to come out into the open,” wrote Kobzev. “They are deliberately turning him into a cripple,” Mikhailova added.

Looking back at some of my reporting and info from dozens of sources over the last 5 years + interviews with people like @anders_aslund @MarkWarner and @Billbrowder and reading the excellent work of @lukeharding1968 and @gordoncorera, there is absolutely no doubt that the #CapitolRiot was a conspiracy that went well beyond some of those that participated in it, but it was a carefully orchestrated campaign of deception and incitement that was rooted in years of #Kremlin disinformation that some US officials had to know about.

ALERT: "A @TheJusticeDept federal indictment unsealed today charges three North Korean computer programmers with participating in a wide-ranging criminal conspiracy to conduct a series of destructive cyberattacks, to steal and extort more than $1.3 billion of money and cryptocurrency from financial institutions and companies, to create and deploy multiple malicious cryptocurrency applications, and to develop and fraudulently market a blockchain platform.

After 5 years investigating #Kremlin influence in the US, and talking with many experts including @Billbrowder @anders_aslund @MarkWarner, @Natalia_Budaeva @vkaramurza, it’s clear the US was targeted by some of the same people, & money sources that led to #Brexit. It’s a complex architecture, but there is a definite link. If you look at the people who funded the #Leave campaign who’ve been closely associated with efforts in the US to foment discontent in the political parties, conspiracy theories and; how so many people minimal means...

ALERT: I’ve learned in the past few days that some members of Congress and staff are not only worried about the threats around them, BUT, a number of them are exasperated when they see and hear reports of threats on TV and Radio, online and in the papers BEFORE they are notified It’s my understanding that security briefings are taking place, but not to all members. The part that’s frustrating to the people I’ve spoken to is that the salient information makes it into the press, almost in real time, which suggest that some press are “almost in the room.”

The #CapitolRiot. How did we get here? About 6 years ago the firehose of disinformation in the US was turned on full blast. The source was #RussianIntelligence. BUT THEN, they stepped back, because the seed was planted. google.com/amp/s/wtop.com… The fissures in American society they were seeking to exploit, exploded open. When the dust settled, some of our fellow Americans bought fully into the lies the #GRU was pushing, even prominent educated citizens, journalists, politicians and others. google.com/amp/s/wtop.com…

ALERT: Intelligence reports from @FBI and other USG agencies indicate there may be close to 20 distinct events planned in Washington by militant groups between TODAY and 1/21. More are planned nationwide in every state. The massive show of force in Washington will... undoubtedly shutdown with deadly force, if necessary, any armed group that chooses to confront the force that includes 20k + troops, federal agents, local & state police personnel believed to number in the thousands and; air, land, sea and cyber surveillance.

The extreme anger, numerous symbols of hate and unbridled #racism on display during the #Capitolriot by many educated and professional people, from across the country, shocked a lot of people. It also reminded many of the #lynchmobs from the Deep South in the #JimCrow era. BUT... The MOST disturbing element is the enablers in the shadows, who according to law enforcement sources, helped them conceal their weapons, which they retrieved at some point between the rally on the mall and the riot.

ALERT: L/E sources: In the coming weeks and months “the list of those who planned the #CapitolRiot will grow and surprise some and confirm suspicions of others.” #InsideJob Image Key questions being investigated are “where did all those weapons come from -ropes, ladders, sledge hammers, hockey sticks, metal pipes, flex cuffs? Did they hide all these things someplace? How could they have gotten to the Capitol without police noticing?”

Several questions about protecting the inaugural, put to me by @ShawnAndersonDC and @bhaseltonWTOP on the air @wtop today.

1. How is Secret Service planning to protect the Inauguration from the violence that occurred last week? Planning is the key word. They’ve been planning this inauguration for more than a year. And it’s important to note that comparing security around the Capitol on an ordinary day and an inauguration are like comparing an Apple to an entire Orange tree.

UPDATE: Hearing that intelligence experts and investigators are "walking the cat back" to "determine if and/or when" the planning for the deadly #CapitolRiot began. Based on details from sources, a Dec. 19th tweet from President Trump may have played a role. He said, "Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild." Those words, according to posts on social media sites frequented by some of his supporters, were interpreted to be, according to an intel source, "a hidden message" designed to take action.

UPDATE: His family @freepaulwhelan tells me, and other sources confirm, that he arrived in the Republic of Mordovia on Sat. Aug 1. They say it can often take prisoners weeks to reach a camp on the prison train... So despite reports he was last seen in Lefortovo last Wednesday, he may have left long before that. According to Russian prison officials, Paul will be quarantined for 20 days in camp IK-18 and then moved to his permanent camp, IK-17.
