To be honest, I don’t understand why so few Americans seem curious about this. All I can say is that Democrats are getting too optimistic since the 2022 elections didn’t turn out to be a political red wedding for their party. It’s OK to hold different values than those held by liberals. Acting in such a way is completely inappropriate. Changes are required by January 6, 2019. Independent intelligence analysts may be easier to comprehend with this data in hand. A teenage DHS intelligence officer apparently identified several threads in which users discussed conspiracies to topple the American government, smuggle weapons into the Capitol Building, and narrate stories of a second American civil war, as reported by Yahoo! News. I need to find out if it’s he, she, he, or ze. According to Yahoo! News, we are in the dark since Yahoo is concealing the identity of the person involved.
On December 20, 2020, a 21-year-old intelligence analyst was looking online for fishing spots in Washington, D.C., when he stumbled upon the plan to storm the Capitol and execute members of Congress and law enforcement officers in order to prevent the certification of electoral votes that would have made Joe Biden the next president.
Members of DHS’s domestic terrorism research division reportedly uncovered a link to a website where users “actively at that moment were preparing the conduct or acts of terroristic violence and the violent takeover of the government of the United States.”
Analyst “saw alarming information totaling 500 pages,” including exchanges in which people advocated for others to carry illicit weapons into the nation’s capital and discussed how to do it secretly. DHS claims that “discussion mentions of overturning the U.S. Government by force/sparking a second civil war and veiled credible threats of violence targeting other U.S. citizens who were regarded adversaries, notably Members of Congress and other government workers” indicate the possibility of a violent uprising.
This analyst spent 16 days overseeing the project for DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis. The Internet has been used to broadcast evidence of tunnels going to the Capitol, plans for transporting weapons into the nation’s capital, and techniques for coordinating attacks via designated radio channels. The assailants reportedly threatened politicians and the D.C. and Capitol police as part of their pre-operational planning. In an effort to “defend the country at whatever cost,” several Internet users said they were relocating their families to the nation’s capital.
On January 6, 2021, a coalition of extreme organizations attacked the Capitol to stop the ratification of Joe Biden as president by Congress. Trump supporters, white nationalists, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, militia, and other organizations were also represented. More than 880 people were convicted, and more than 100 police officers were injured, according to a recent Senate inquiry into DHS and FBI shortcomings in domestic counterterrorism. Nine lives may have been lost (including two suicides).
The DHS Office of Inspector General provided Yahoo News with its complete, unredacted report dated March 2022, together with all supporting documents, including the intelligence analyst’s four-page letter detailing his attempts to stop the imminent attack.
Yahoo News has decided not to reveal the identity of their analyst out of fear for the analyst’s safety.
On December 20, 2020, the young analyst was looking for fishing spots on Reddit when he came across rumors of a military coup. Before the election, Donald Trump stated that he would easily win in 2020. On January 6, protesters flocked to the nation’s capital to voice their displeasure. Things are going to heat up, so come on in.
As a result, some people have begun to carry concealed weapons at all times. The analyst quickly deduced that the conspiracy was conceived on online discussion forums like Parler, where users had broached the idea of launching a violent attack on the Capitol on January 6 to prevent the certification of the electoral votes and the subsequent inauguration of Biden as president.
The analyst’s report was delivered to a high-ranking official at the Counterterrorism Mission Center on the 21st. She called it a “great find,” and she wanted to know more about the dangers in the Capitol. As per guidance from the DHS Office of Intelligence and Analysis, the analyst should formally request data from the open-source collecting office. People in authority have stressed the need to handle this as an immediate crisis.
The analyst repeatedly emphasized the importance of reporting that may be used to educate other parties between December 29 and January 4.
The January 6 Inspector General’s Report included images of social media posts that advocated for gun-toting tourists in the nation’s capital. The warning “Bring your weapon” was posted on a bulletin board on January 4, 2021. Without it, “you’ll see Biden go into the white house,” as one analyst put it. On January 2, twelve others also posted their farewells online and claimed they were “ready to die for the cause.”
Because the open source gathering office had not yet produced any reports or offered any warnings on anything it had revealed as of January 5, neither the counterterrorism analyst nor the rest of the mission center could inform agencies in D.C. about dangers they detected on the Internet. The intelligence analyst was responsible for gathering data and quickly putting up a report that could be distributed to the Capitol Police and other appropriate D.C. authorities.
