DC Capitol Riot & Subsequent Fallout Thread (Jan 2021)

[vegasbound]

I got this info from about 8 different tweets so I won't link them all but Rep. Brad Schneider, Rep. Pramila Jayapal and Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman all tested positive for COVID after being in a room with several GOP Reps who refused to wear masks. The Capitol doctor released a memo saying someone in the room was sick and they should all go get COVID tested after Wednesday and shocker, there's some positive tests.

America is a hell of a lot of things, but it’s disingenuous to put them on the same platform as some of the nations western nations mutually disagree with.

America is the world's leading terror state and has been since the end of the cold War.

FBI and the DOJ will be holding a press conference any moment re: Capitol Riot and nationwide protests/riots.

Brief notes, not including all:

A lot of intelligence was received by the FBI ahead, but they had to differentiate between intent and someone ranting online. They did make an arrest pre-riot.

A number of the misdemeanors are just preliminary charges to allow for arrests! Additional charges are forthcoming for a number of these people.

Significant felony charges related to seditious and conspiracy charges and prison terms up to 20 years. Wide range of charges forthcoming.

Tear gas used against police and Assault on the police.

Assault on media.

Looking at money, travel records- no resource will go unchecked (100,000 media pieces have been submitted by the public).

Assault rifles in a restricted district.

In short, people will be shocked with what actually occurred in the capital and charges are just beginning.

Q: Do the pipe bombs count as domestic terrorism since they were targeting political figures? Was it a diversion? A: All being investigated, don't like labels, we have plenty of charges to address all of this conduct. $50K reward out to arrest of this person.

Q: There is a report out that painted a pretty poor picture of intelligence pre-riot can you comment? A: That was a thread on a message board- we briefed it within 40min through all law enforcement partners (I think he said it wasn't substantial evidence, not sure)

nm, Mull's on it!

Confirmed that the 2 pipe bombs found outside both the DNC and RNC offices were live devices, and they are currently investigating their purpose as well as why they may not have gone off.

Probably because the clowns that assembled them are too stupid to find their own asses with both hands and a map.

They funded it by not sending a catalogue out with every single order.

Hopefully someone is bludgeoned with a ULine catalogue.

Just to expound on that a little more, he was talking about the amount of rioter-on-police violence that was going on. I think he was also implying that there was much more resistance to the rioters by the police than what's being portrayed thus far, and that this will be coming out in the coming days.



I do hope that they're thinking of the implications of these charges for the inauguration. Some felony assault charges released before inauguration might have the effect of cooling the willingness of future protesters of engaging with police.

Q

Further to this, they made the point of saying these were devices equipped with timers and real explosives.

Reading between the lines, I think he is saying they weren't just visual diversions. He didn't say why they didn't go off, so we can assume a lot of things. Either the timers didn't reach their set time, the devices malfunctioned, the person setting them had a last minute change of mind and didn't set them. Being an active investigation, they probably can't get into specifics on everything.

QAnon Woke Up the Real Deep State
https://arcdigital.media/qanon-woke-...e-72bbfcb79488

I’ve been teaching college students about the Deep State for years, and have interacted with it on occasion. By “Deep State,” I’m referring to executive branch agencies populated with unelected officials, especially those involving national security, law enforcement, and intelligence. The non-nefarious name for it is “the federal bureaucracy,” with the subset that includes the military, CIA, and FBI known as “the national security state.”

If you want to understand the real Deep State, the biggest thing you need to know is it’s institutional, impersonal, and operates on a national scale.

The law enforcement-intelligence-national security bureaucracy doesn’t really care about a lot of the little things people think it cares about. It’s mostly focused on terrorists, serial killers, narco-traffickers, and foreign governments. Threats to the nation.

Previous QAnon activity wasn’t on that scale, but the Capitol attack is. I don’t think this has sunk in yet. It wasn’t 9/11, but it was bigger than, for example, Benghazi.

Compare that to, for example, riots this past summer. Looting is bad, but it’s a problem for police and insurance companies. Trying to burn down a police station or courthouse is worse, but that too is a law enforcement problem, perhaps one requiring federal assistance. Storming the Capitol, forcefully hindering the execution of U.S. law, and trying to kill top elected officials is a national security problem.

What you did was on another level, and the reaction will be too.

You cheered on lawyers who said they’d release the Kraken. But now you’ve poked Leviathan.

The researcher, who asked to be referred to by her Twitter handle, @donk_enby, began with the goal of archiving every post from January 6, the day of the Capitol riot; what she called a bevy of “very incriminating” evidence. According to the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, among other sources, Parler is one of a several apps used by the insurrections to coordinate their breach of the Capitol, in a plan to overturn the 2020 election results and keep Donald Trump in power.

Five people died in the attempt.

Hoping to create a lasting public record for future researchers to sift through, @donk_enby began by archiving the posts from that day. The scope of the project quickly broadened, however, as it became increasingly clear that Parler was on borrowed time. Apple and Google announced that Parler would be removed from their app stores because it had failed to properly moderate posts that encouraged violence and crime. The final nail in the coffin came Saturday when Amazon announced it was pulling Parler’s plug.

In an email first obtained by BuzzFeed News, Amazon officials told the company they planned to boot it from its clouding hosting service, Amazon Web Services, saying it had witnessed a “steady increase” in violent content across the platform. “It’s clear that Parler does not have an effective process to comply with the AWS terms of service,” the email read.

Operating on little sleep, @donk_enby began the work of archiving all of Parler’s posts, ultimately capturing around 99.9 percent of its content. In a tweet early Sunday, @donk_enby said she was crawling some 1.1 million Parler video URLs. “These are the original, unprocessed, raw files as uploaded to Parler with all associated metadata,” she said. Included in this data tranche, now more than 56 terabytes in size, @donk_enby confirmed that the raw video files include GPS metadata pointing to exact locations of where the videos were taken.

@donk_enby later shared a screenshot showing the GPS position of a particular video, with coordinates in latitude and longitude.

Man it's probably a really good thing that the insurrectionists are dumb and technologically incompetent.
