Introduction to Part II

On January 4, 2021—just 36 hours before an armed assault on the U.S. Capitol by (per the Washington Post) an “alliance” of Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, Three Percenters, and other far-right paramilitary entities—Donald Trump declared that a self-avowed, extremely well-known Oath Keeper was a “great political leader”, thereby sending a powerful message of solidarity to that insurrectionist paramilitary extremist group.

The speech in which this endorsement by Trump came was a Stop the Steal-supported event in Dalton, Georgia attended by Ali Alexander, one of the three co-organizers of that “movement” (along with Alex Jones and Roger Stone). The Oath Keeper publicly lauded by the president in Dalton was Arizona state representative Mark Finchem, who reportedly was “in regular contact” with Ali Alexander on January 5 and January 6; is said by Alexander to have “started” the #StoptheSteal movement in Arizona; rode to the Capitol during the insurrection—on a golf cart, no less—with two Oath Keepers who were subsequently arrested and accused of helping to stage the insurrection; and, besides being an admitted Oath Keeper himself, was (incredibly) also on the payroll of the Trump campaign during the lead-up to the attack of January 6. {Note: I recommend reading that last sentence more than once.}

Finchem is also the “Arizona coordinator” for the Coalition of Western States, an entity whose ambitions dovetail with the American Redoubt Movement (see Part I of this article series). It would be impossible for Donald Trump to send a clearer message of support for the Stop the Steal “movement” in Arizona, the Arizona Proud Boys unit affiliated with that movement (which initiated the attack on the Capitol while wearing easily identifiable “blaze orange hats”, per the Wall Street Journal), and the 30 to 40 Oath Keepers who plotted to “gas” all of Congress in the tunnels below the Capitol on January 6 than by saying the following words just 36 hours before these forces of chaos were unleashed on the literal seat of American democracy (emphasis supplied below):

Let me…read a letter from Mark Finchem, chairman of the Arizona House, a very respected man [on the] Federal Relations Committee [sic]:

“Dear Mr. President, subsequent to the election, members of the [Arizona] legislature were inundated with complaints from constituents relating to the intensity [sic] of the general election—the integrity, more important than anything else—and the accuracy of canvassed results. In many instances, constituents reported that their earlier in-person ballots may not have been correctly processed or tabulated in Maricopa County [by] officials. Members of the [Arizona] legislature have conducted two public hearings in recent weeks, during which significant evidence of fraudulent and illegal voting in Arizona has been demonstrated through expert and eyewitness testimony—for example in Pima County and Maricopa County, [where] it appears that 143,000 illegal votes were actually injected into the ballot system.”

Think of that. No—but think of [that].

Also, the press won’t report this, they [will] probably turn [their cameras] off—“Oh, we don’t like this.” They don’t like this. They don’t want to talk about numbers. They talked about my phone call [to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, now under criminal investigation by the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office]. They don’t like my phone call, [but] everyone [else] loved my phone call. They don’t like talking about numbers, because nobody knew the numbers were so egregious. Also, an expert mathematician concluded that the only explanation for the actual voting results in Arizona is that—think of this—130% of Democrats voted for candidate [Joe] Biden, and -30% voted for President Trump. Now, think of that.

…

For all of these people who think it’s too late, does that mean that we’re forced to approve a fraudulent election or an election with massive irregularities? I don’t think so. I don’t think so. I want to thank those two great political leaders [Mark Finchem and Georgia state representative William Ligon, who weeks later would shock Georgia political observers by announcing his retirement from the Georgia legislature], but we have many other letters just like that. [They say the] same thing. Hundreds of thousands of votes are missing. The only way to combat the Democrat [sic] fraud is to flood your polling places with a historic tidal wave of Republican voters tomorrow [in the two January 5 special elections].

Because at a certain point, [a controversy regarding] the [2020 voting] machines [is] going to explode. [It] almost did with me, unfortunately they [my legal team] didn’t quite get there [in proving the Venezuelan government hacked into voting machines], but we’ll figure that out.

Besides the fact that the sitting POTUS was obsessed with his Venezuelan conspiracy theory about hacked voting machines less than 24 hours before the members of his inner circle met at his private residence in D.C. to discuss it—along with Trump’s good friend Eduardo Bolsonaro, whose family is in the midst of a long “cold war” with the Venezuelan dictator at the heart of the Venezuela conspiracy theory, Nicolás Maduro—of note here is that Trump juxtaposes a reference to the since-debunked and Sidney Powell-disavowed Dominion Voting Systems slander with an implicit shout-out to all three of the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, and Stop the Stealers.

Did the insurrectionists get Trump’s message? According to ABC News, yes, they did.

Not only did Oath Keeper leader Stewart Rhodes meet on camera the next night with Virginia gubernatorial candidate Amanda Chase, who describes herself as “Trump in heels”, Rhodes also is now recorded in federal court documents discussing his sense, in mid-insurrection, that Trump had made an implicit or explicit promise to his group that he would act, on January 6, in a way that dovetailed with the attack on the Capitol.

During the attack on the Capitol, Mr. Rhodes cryptically wrote to his co-conspirators in the Oath Keepers that “Trump better do his damn duty”, that the attack on the Capitol was the Oath Keepers’ “final chance to get Trump to do his job and his duty” (emphasis in original), that “Patriots entering their own Capitol to send a message to the traitors is nothing compared to what’s coming if Trump doesn’t take decisive action right now”, and that—in reference to Rhodes’ certainty that stark images of the Capitol attack were being seen by Trump over at the White House—“I hope he got the message.”

{Note: Proof has previously established, across numerous articles, that the Oath Keepers had contact with top Trump presidential adviser Roger Stone during a period of time Stone was in contact with Trump, that the group had contact with Trump’s Secret Service on January 6—a Secret Service tasked by Trump’s political team with assisting the Stop the Steal movement in orchestrating the march on the Capitol—and that the Oath Keepers were led on January 6 by not just Rhodes but a mysterious contractor for Blackwater, the mercenary company formerly owned by Trump donor and adviser Erik Prince, who is also an associate of Michael Flynn.}

But this January 4 message notwithstanding, were there other ways to ensure that the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys—and for that matter, the Three Perecenters and green-flag-waving Kekistanis from 8kun—understood that the Trump White House was on their side and supported their plans? Certainly, Proud Boy liaison Ali Alexander’s call to top Trump adviser and Donald Trump Jr. girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle while both Don Jr. and Guilfoyle were in the midst of a conclave at Trump’s D.C. hotel was a good start, but what about the Oath Keepers? What about the Three Percenters? What about the religious zealots of the American Redoubt Movement, whose anti-feds radicalism is idealized by those who stormed the U.S. Capitol in paramilitary gear on January 6?

Who could Trump’s inner circle invite to Trump International Hotel on Insurrection Eve to ensure that this component of his insurrectionist coalition felt seen and heard?

The Becks of Idaho (Part 2)

We return now to the social media timeline of Doyle Beck, focusing on November 30, the moment the Stop the Steal “movement” Beck so publicly supported—as did the “great political leaders” who would be lauded by Trump in Dalton, Fichem and Ligon (Ligon’s first-ever tweet actually used the #stopthesteal hash-tag)—was ramping up into a frenzy in Arizona and Georgia. Remember, as you read the content below, that, as discussed at length by Ali Alexander in this interview and by Proof here, Stop the Steal is fundamentally an “end times” religious movement similar to Michael Flynn’s Jericho March, one that holds that Trump and the Republican Party are in a Holy War against Democrats and Communists (two groups rarely distinguished by members of the movement).

Beck’s Facebook Feed: a Pre-Insurrection, January 6, and Post-Insurrection Timeline (Continued)

November 30: Beck amplifies calls for martial law (also heard from the members of Team Kraken who apparently attended the January 5 event—Giuliani, Powell, Lindell, and Flynn—and Patrick Byrne and Lin Wood, two key Team Kraken associates), indeed going farther and amplifying calls for the possible execution of select Democrats for Treason. This violent, seditious, vile language emanated from long-retired three-star general Thomas McInerney, who once slanderously accused the late senator John McCain of Arizona of betraying the United States while he was a prisoner of war).

December 6: Beck shares on Facebook an OANN interview with Patrick Byrne, the former Overstock CEO who just two weeks later would attend a historically raucous Oval Office meeting with Donald Trump in which he, Giuliani, Powell, Lindell, and Flynn sought to convince Trump to seize voting machines from around the country via martial law. In the OANN interview, Byrne repeats his false claim that the 2020 vote was rigged, a conspiracy theory Team Kraken will seek to link to Venezuelans working with a cabal of Communists from other nations—and colluding with Democrats—a lie the group would share publicly prior to January 5, at the Trump International Hotel on January 5, and again publicly thereafter. It was this lie that Trump himself referenced in lauding Oath Keeper and Stop the Stealer Mark Finchem in Georgia on January 4.

December 16: Beck shares a link to a seditious documentary called The Plot to Steal America, which falsely accuses Venezuela of using software to steal the 2020 election. Below is a still image from the documentary in which former Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chávez—dead since 2013—is shown. The man with whom Giuliani, Prince, and other Trump agents were secretly negotiating in Venezuela (Maduro) is Chávez’s successor, and indeed it is the mid-2010s election through which Maduro succeeded Chávez that Trump, his agents, and Team Kraken claim was the launch of an alleged “Dominion-Smartmatic-Clinton-DNC-Russia-Venezuela-China-Cuba” conspiracy.

December 20, December 22, January 4, January 5, and February 5: On these dates (at a minimum) Doyle Beck either (1) shares tweets on his Facebook feed from accounts since deleted by Facebook for spreading election misinformation, (2) links to since-deleted election-disinformation or extremist websites, or (3) attempts to share links on Facebook subsequently blocked after Facebook fact-checkers conclude that they are election disinformation.

December 30: Beck tweets a quote from Ayn Rand alleging that “society is doomed” unless Trump is kept in the White House.

January 5, 2021: Via a Facebook “like,” Beck implies that he believes that neither of Idaho’s GOP senators are with Trump’s attempted coup—thereby implying, as well, that neither Mike Crapo nor Jim Risch were at Trump International Hotel on January 5 supporting Trump’s coup plan (and therefore could not have been the reason that the Becks were allowed into Trump’s private residence).

January 6: Beck shares photos and video from Trump’s White House Ellipse speech, he and his wife Elizabeth Beck spread the “antifa did it” conspiracy theory about the insurrection, and Doyle interacts with a violent insurrectionist.

More telling than any of this, however—and the apex of this three-article exposé—is the donation history of Doyle Beck and his social media posts after the insurrection, which seem to answer key mysteries about the January 6 insurrection, including which U.S. senators attended the January 5 “war council” alongside Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama. In the ongoing investigation seeking to determine why the Becks were admitted to the most exclusive Trump political strategy session ever—held at the most valuable property in Trump’s real estate and branding empire—the evidence compiled in Part III of this series may be the most compelling yet, even as it is almost certainly just the tip of the iceberg as to Doyle Beck’s ties to insurrectionist extremists.

{Note: This article is continued in Part III, which will be published here at Proof very shortly.}
