- The massacres in Bucha are the epitome of evil. This should be a red line for the civilized world. Anyone who works with Russia moving forward, deserves to be blacklisted.
- Thread on one of the guys impersonating a federal agent, Arian Taherzadeh. Taherzadeh was arrested by the FBI today. Here are some things you haven't heard.
- Thread on Capitol Rioter, Evan Neumann. Neumann just got asylum in Belarus. Some of what I write here, you haven't seen elsewhere. This comes from an intelligence brief @EchoAnalytics the company I work for, prepared a few months ago.
- When I look up a cooking recipe, I do not need the backstory of your family for three generations. I don't care about the story of your meemaw, a chicken, and her garden. I just want to know how you make the food.
- I'm conservative. I don't care that Bradley Cooper was at the DNC. He did an excellent job in American Sniper.
- Replying to @JustenChartersTaherzadeh started many other companies, which are inactive. I looked at them briefly, but they provide no further data that correlates with his arrest today. As always, thanks for reading!
- Replying to @JustenChartersI don't know how long he has ran this con. But he has an active company called USSP, LLC. in D.C. USSP, LLC is literally known alternatively by the names, US Special Police, and USSP Special Investigations Unit.
- My friend is doing medical work on the Polish/Ukrainian border. A Congolese woman was shot in center lower abdomen by Russian forces. Shrapnel in her lower body. No way they thought she was a "soldier." More on this later, with documented evidence, x-rays, medical reports, etc.
- Replying to @JustenChartersThere is a LinkedIn page for USSP and a very brief review of the page suggests it is a fraud.
- Replying to @JustenChartersTaherzadeh had a LinkedIn profile under the name Arian T. where he claimed to be a law enforcement officer for the Dept. of Homeland Security since 2006.
- 🧵Here’s how I identified the online alias of a U.S. spy for Russia. Yes, this is a true story.
- Replying to @JustenChartersUSSP also has a FB page. It's Instagram and Twitter have been removed. But on the FB page, it's last post was about how the FBI was seeking info to identify Capitol Rioters. They also posted a lot of pro-law enforcement material, which probably helped get the page some followers.
- If Russian forces will commit genocide in Bucha, Irpin, and Hostomel, they will commit genocide in any other country Putin gives the order to invade. You could argue that something like that is probably a few years away. But if Putin isn't stopped, it's inevitable.
