One year ago I was watching in horror just like most of you, as sore losers decided to do what they could to larp a revolution and topple our democratic process. How fun!

Being a bit of a psycho myself, and feeling personally attacked, I went to work. I started backing up videos that showed individuals committing coordinated acts of violence. I focused primarily on the West Tunnel brawl for the first week.

By January 15th I had submitted over 50 separate profiles to the FBI. They all included clean shots of faces, timestamped acts of violence, and I cross referenced those against other videos.

When an assault on an officer occurred, I’d work to establish their name and badge number, as well as a timestamp so they could quickly find the footage on their own body cameras.

I admit that I became a bit obsessed, in an unhealthy fashion. But it really felt like the bottom was falling out of the whole country and I wanted to do whatever I could.

I’ve had over a dozen calls with members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, the Capitol Police, and a few Special Agents around the country. Each have expressed what seemed like genuine gratitude for my efforts. Some have told me “you have literally built the case for me and done my job.”

During the second week after the attack I focused on a two hour long uncut raw video of a man who entered the capitol. I mapped his movements, timestamped his video, and built a model where I could jump to other videos taken in the capitol at the same time to see other angles.

I’m not going to say much about that because I suspect much bigger things to come from that work that involve groups of former military guys with a plan.

I am so saddened, though not shocked, by the tone change from the political right. The night of the 6th I had a moment of hope thinking we might finally come together to root out this rising tide of fascist tendencies. Wrong.

All in all I keep tabs on the cases that are pending and read all the court documents. I sit in anticipation about folks I really want to see have the book thrown at them. I work hard to share updates with my networks, and to keep the conversation about this event alive.

Things to consider:

We’re getting more and more answers by the day about the planning that went into this, the cogs of the machine. It seems to be becoming clear that this was intended as a reichtags fire and that the Trump team wanted to us the national guard to justify invoking the insurrection act.

That would have been magnitudes worse that what we can imagine. I think this article is a must read. https://www.justsecurity.org/79623/crisis-of-command-the-pentagon-the-president-and-january-6/

If and when you meet with people who deny the reality of the 6th, start by asking if they support police? They will say yes. Ask who hurt cops at the capitol, they will say ANTIFA. Ask them if any trump supporters participated in violence. They will say no. Then show them uncut west tunnel footage. Make them watch. Ask where the antifa are. Point them out. Everyone there who has been charged is a proven trumper. They are violently attacking police to gain entry.

They still won’t agree with you. But the seeds of doubt will have been planted and watered.

Don’t let up folks. Don’t let up. Vote Vote Vote. Stump for people who don’t deny reality. Lastly, be decent to each other.

EDIT: Also thanks to the mod team for adding me to your ranks.

EDIT 2: Ah yes, the first person has reported me for being suicidal, must be heading to the front page. Thank you all for the kind words of support.

EDIT 3: a great many people have asked to send me money for my efforts. Thank you, but respectfully, no. I’m doing this out of duty. But, if you are interested in supporting something I support, make a donation to No Kid Hungry Charity navigator in honor of “BOMP” which is an acronym I use for Bring Out More Potential. Thank you kindly.

EDIT 4: HOLY CRAP I woke up this morning to over a dozen messages of folks donating to No Kid Hungry. Over $1,000. Thank you all so much.

After a failed Presidency, and his carefully and hastily planned Coup D’etat failed. Let’s call it what we all know it was.

A failed attempt to overturn the lawfully elected president and to smash our democratic system.

Then he turned it into a money making and bit getting operation because the MAGA aren’t really all that smart and fell for the lies Trump and the batshit crazy right wing news media told them.

Do they get off scot-free? What about fines? Are they still felons?

We can’t just let them live happily ever after

His organization provided a bunch of busses to the insurrectionists. He's been a Jan. 6 apologist. He's entertained and propagated the big lie.

https://web.archive.org/web/20210105014339/https://twitter.com/charliekirk11/status/1346271038011625472

How is he able to just continue to go about his life and make public appearances and go on talk shows as if he wasn't complicit with the insurrection?

Does anyone have more detail on his involvement? He's deleted the tweet where he was bragging about sending busses to the capitol. There has to be more behind the scenes to criminalize him.

On a scale from 1-10 with 1 being fools errand to 10 being so close he would’ve succeeded was he assuming everything went to plan? 1. Fake electors 2. Pressure the justice department 3. Insurrection Act 4. Capital riot 5. Texas V Pennsylvania

In light of the recent Supreme Court ruling I think we need a 28th amendment to prevent any and all who participated, instigated and knowingly allowed Jan 6th to happen to ever hold the office of President. I will be sending the following proposal to all my elected officials.

28^th Amendment proposal

Section 1

Duties not considered official acts of the president. No immunity for these acts before, during or after the presidency, though prosecution may be delayed (not withstanding violent acts), any statutes of limitations will be suspended during the term of the presidency.

-       Duties related to personal businesses and finances

-       Duties related to election campaigns or party matters

-       Duties related to family matters

Section 2

Official duties of the president. Immunity is enjoyed for these acts so long as they are not misused in the manners outlined in section 3.

Section 3

The powers of the Presidency are abused or misused if they are used for the purposes of treason, bribery, personal commission of violent crimes, insurrection, rebellion, non-peaceful transfer of power, election interference, disruption of the official proceedings of congress or the judiciary, interference in any legal proceedings against themselves, or in any other way violate their oath of office. Legal action may be taken against a sitting president or vice president for any of these acts before congress through the impeachment process or through litigation in the judiciary so long as it does not interfere with their continuing official duties unless found guilty. Interference here would be considered to take up more than 2 hours per day or 3 days in a month. To prevent partisan legal action against every president and vice president political parties and their donors will not be allowed to ask for, pay for, or bring these legal actions. Only the Department of Justice may investigate and bring such charges against a sitting President or Vice-Presidnet in the judicial system.

Section 4

In addition to the eligibility requirements for the presidency outlined in Article II, no person shall be eligible to run for, be elected to, appointed to, nominated for, selected for, assume the role of, or continue to hold the office, title, powers and roles of the Presidency or Vice- Presidency, or be sworn into those offices, if they have ever been found to have committed or conspired to commit treason, rebellion, or insurrection against the United States or committed, conspired to commit, been involved in, promoted, or encouraged election interference, attempted to alter the outcome of an election beyond legal means, disrupted the official proceedings of congress or the judiciary, acted against the peaceful transition of power, or interfered with any legal proceedings against themselves, or in any other way violated the oath of any office they have  held or do hold. Any such person is not eligible for the office and will vacate it immediately if holding said office when found to have committed any of these acts. Any appeals in the judicial system for a current President or Vice-President will proceed directly to the supreme court and must be dealt with within 30 days. If the Supreme court overturns any lower court verdict the President or Vice-President will immediately resume their previous role. Any removal for these violations by the 25th Amendment will follow the course of the 25^th Amendment for appeals to congress. Any disabilities caused by this amendment must be removed by the process outlined in the 14^th Amendment, Section 3 prior to said individual becoming eligible to the office in the future.

Section 5

No one is above the law. The President is hereby not able to issue Pardons for themselves, their Vice-President, or any of the principal officers of the executive departments.

After the Chesebro and Powell plea deals in the Georgia RICO case, how do these guilty please affect the other cases? I'm thinking about the Federal Jack Smith case, the various fake elector cases, and the defamation cases from Dominion and SmartMatic.

Can Chesebro and Powell still be indicted by Jack Smith?

Are their guilty pleas evidence for the fake elector cases?

How can Powell have a defense against the Dominion defamation claims after pleading guilty here?

I remember where I was four years ago today. Do you?

I was gearing up to do my job on January 6, 2021. That day was just like any other day, except on that day, our lawmakers were preparing to certify the results of the 2020 election. President Biden had won, but Donald Trump and his associates were actively working to overturn the results of the election before January 6th.

At the time, I was a Capitol Police Officer. I would report to work daily, man my post, and make sure that our Capitol Building is protected against all threats. We rarely had any actual threats, so oftentimes the job may have seemed mundane. But, little did I know that on January 6th, my life, and our country, would change forever.

Now, four years after that devastating day, Donald Trump is gearing up to take office again. And with him will come chaos and obstruction. We saw it during his first four years, and we are seeing it again already. Donald Trump and Elon Musk worked to shut down our government because they were unhappy with a bipartisan deal cut between Republicans and Democrats. As a result, there was complete chaos on Capitol Hill for days.

Days later, Trump is back to his old ways of threatening those on the January 6th Committee like former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who stood her ground.

Luckily, Democrats did not bite. Instead, they fought tooth and nail and kept our government open and ensured that disaster relief aid would be passed and our troops and federal employees would not be furloughed during the holiday season. They showed true leadership. Donald Trump and Elon Musk did not.

This is just the beginning though. As I write to you during this holiday season, I reminisce about the days before our Capitol Building was almost burned down. We really thought that Trump’s 2020 loss would be the end of him and the MAGA movement. Yes there was some chaos in the final days of his term in 2020, but there was hope for the future.

Now, writing this post, a lot of that hope is lost for me and many of you. But, that is exactly why I am standing my ground and not giving up.

During the next four years, I am going to be more active than ever. I am going to stand my ground against any threats I face from Trump and his cronies. And, I am just getting started. Earlier this week, I met with Senator Lisa Murkowski to oppose the nomination of Kash Patel for FBI Director. He is far too dangerous to serve.

Standing our Ground, Harry Dunn on Substack

At this stage, we all know what's right and what's wrong. So many fools in family and friends around us have just gone quiet because they can't defend but don't want to be asked anything. Don't accept it. Remind them that we are keeping historical records. Most of us already have next generations that will look back on these years.

The morons are obviously not able to grasp that so tell them about it and make a point to do some immediate historical recording. That's what condemnation is all about. Those that refuse will make that choice on a public record for the rest of human history.

We are at a point where these people hope they never have to answer for their own words, so the whole scene changes if they are told they are on the record. Or certainly if you record the damning statements. They don't even seem to expect a record of public MEMORY more than a week or a few days.

The statements and positions on these years must be a record for them to live with immediately and forever.
