The revelation of the seventh person in Trump's Willard Hotel war room leads to the strangest discovery of the January 6 investigation so far, one so bizarre that it must be read to be believed.
I fully expect that when it is all said and done Seth will, and should, receive a Pulitzer or it's equivalent for his immense coverage and exposure of the insurrection plot hidden in plain sight. There will be many traitors to this nation in jail, I believe, in no small party to his work. I just hope that the credit ends up where it should and that this type of journalism is recognized for what it is, bad ass.
I have marched at several BLM protests, and I have seen people trying to start trouble who were NOT marching with us so that our protest would get negative press, or justify an aggressive police response to shut us down and shut us up. We’re not about violence, and it’s violence we’re protesting against! I knew from day 1 this would be their strategy because frankly they are not that smart, they just keep doing the same thing over and over again. So, basically, not much of a “wtf” for me as much as gratitude that the vehicle was so cleverly explained. Great work!
I want to believe that your work is hastening and/or solidfying FBI and DOJ prosecutions. In the meantime, I believe you are constantly breaking new ground with curatorial journalism.
It is complicated yet plausible. Amazing journalism, Seth. I have a feeling Gosar is aware of all of this…he made that obvious when he said Babbit was executed. He knows about the Sullivan brothers and the “movie”. He’s deflecting to protect himself…
As a filmmaker, in regards to your statement: "Whether the scene in the movie that takes place on a stage in Washington in December 2020 was itself (no pun intended) staged is presently unknown;" I can tell you that NOTHING that happens when a camera is rolling is totally left unplanned. Also, as a casting director, as I watched James on the "Soonie" show, James was a very bad actor for most of the beginning, and was lying. The only time he didn't stumble over his "lines" that were made up for him, I believe, and not at all in his sytax; was when he talked about his red-hot phone. From then on it was believable. His set-up of the story was so convoluted, which is the nature of the Liar's Lair, that he himself couldn't articulate it believably. Just my opinion.
Please look into how the Washington Times was ready to go almost as soon as the Capitol was cleared with a fake story claiming a facial recognition company had identified Antifa members at the Capitol. They claimed the false info was provided by a "retired military officer". Anyway that's sus as hell and reeks of preplanning. https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jan/6/xrvision-firm-claims-antifa-infiltrated-protesters/
It's very interesting that there were multiple "war rooms".
I think that Rudy's "war room" was the group to provide pre/post insurrection spin on the Jan. 6th insurrection. Like you said, no matter the outcome of 1/6, they would have to blame the negative aspects on ANTIFA, and create a voter fraud narrative to justify delaying the electoral count certification (hence the need for a) DNI reports on foreign election interference, and b) election fraud "experts".
It seems as Stone was more in charge of the operational aspects of the day with his Oath Keepers and PB minions. In which case Stone would know who the unabomber was (I think it was Alexander).
Luckily, they did a really shitty job of executing the attack, and didn't make much headway (at least initially) in convincing the media that Antifa was behind it.
Wow. Great read! At some point in the middle, I began to think I'd never be able to explain this to anyone without sounding like I went full tin foil hat.
But as always, you laid the case out well and with enough sources to make me go from feeling crazy for buying it to infuriated at how a "conspiracy" so obvious has been able to fly under the radar.
Considering what we know about the logistical immensity of the 1/6 attacks, the idea that "some antifa" could solicit paid actors, select and train a team of them and fund their travel, training and efforts in just a few days before the event took place is especially ludicrous. The mention of Ryan and New Hampshire made me think of the odd event where VP Pence was to speak at a treatment center in NH; a speech that didn't happen and nobody knew exactly what had happened. Was Ryan connected with this event in some way? We were kind of left hanging after she was introduced as a player, then the narrative went 100% to the Sullivan brothers.
Wow. What a read. I had to look up certain people just so I could reference who they were as I read this - I'm a visual person, photos help me to memorize names w/faces. The brothers...a FILM? smh I'm still processing everything in this article, Seth. You're right, bizarre. Holy cow.
I think it's going to take my mind a day or two to process all this, tbh. lol Incredible research.
Specificity always follows truth. As usual, Seth gives names, dates, locations, direct quotations, and citations of source material. But what if he were to apply the curatorial process to a complementary narrative, one that reports what BLM, "antifa," and pro-democracy leaders were doing and saying on this same timeline? Any involvement in the planning, coordination, execution, or aftermath of the insurrection would leave echoes and traces on BOTH sides. Who had foreknowledge? What did they know and when? What did they do as events unfolded? Are their efforts ongoing? I think such a narrative would be exculpatory and even heroic, but it's one I haven't seen anywhere and no one is better qualified to curate it.
First: Thank you. I sleep better knowing you are pulling all this together and documenting it for the future. We know MSM catches up eventually but can never handle the complexity/detail. I have all three books and you are one of my first follows from when I first got on twitter to watch the crazy unroll. Second: Stone may have been behind operations but his fingerprints are all over this as you know. It's just so wack it's hard to process. And Guiliani's tech skills continue to impress. Third: Dana Rohrbacher's picture at the capitol 1/6 came out last week. He's deflecting by talking about how "leftist provocateurs" instigated the attack on the capitol and encouraged/invited Trump's supporters to enter the building. Messaging is on point. Whether it's BLM, Antifa, some Proud Boys (WTF?), "leftist provocateurs" or the FBI that planned it, I guess it doesn't matter as long as the GQP messaging "floods the zone" (thanks, Bannon) and causes confusion. It seems that Stone/Guiliani threw PBs under the bus on this one, though. Wonder how that's appreciated. Again. Thank you, Seth. Also, I keep hoping to hear you interviewed on the Daily Beans podcast with Allison Gill. Even better if you're a regular with insurrection updates.
Well once again, convoluted and in need of FBI or DOJ involvement. It sickens me that so few people worked together to bring down our republic. Also sickens me that people are such fools and will listen to the diabolical.

Giuliani is his own worst enemy...and America's. Great journalism, Seth.

I thought I'd see how many words have been posted here in the last week (June 11-17, 6 posts): 32,269! That's roughly a 90-to-100-page book!
