A prolific documentary filmmaker has a new account of the Jan. 6 insurrection
― and a stark warning about this November.

#Nick #Quested embedded
with the Proud Boys
in the run-up to Jan. 6, 2021,
and portions of what he captured on film have come out in recent years.

That includes footage of a critical meeting between members of the #Proud #Boys and the #Oath #Keepers in an underground garage just before the insurrection.

Thanks to his proximity, Quested was later called to testify before the congressional committee investigating what happened that day -- and he served as a witness in the Proud Boys seditious conspiracy trial.

With the 2024 presidential election now less than six weeks away, Quested is concerned.

♦️“We are going to see poll watchers creating pretext and false allegations against poll workers and the vilification of officials,” he warned.

♦️“We’re going to see pressure on elected officials and armed protests outside tabulation centers in swing states.

♦️We’re going to see a flurry of lawsuits and state legislatures refusing to certify electors that should have been duly presented according to the popular vote of the state.”

“This is not going away,” he said.

🔥“This is going to happen again. It’s in action right now. You can see it. And exactly what they said they were going to do last time
— they did it.

They are telling you they are going to do 🆘and they will do it again.”

The Emmy-winning filmmaker’s efforts have now culminated in a complete #documentary about the Capitol riot coming out on Oct. 4, called
👉 “64 Days: The Road to Insurrection.” 👈

It features never-before-seen footage of Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio as the insurrection attempt unfolded.

It serves as a meticulous, almost encyclopedic account of how close Donald Trump came to stealing the election.

It examines the period between November 2020 and January 2021, and incorporates various emails and records
― as well as interviews of extremists, key Trump White House figures, investigative counsel to the Jan. 6 committee, election officials, state officials and others
― to illuminate how the Trump White House,
far-right extremists
and a coterie of “Kraken” lawyers navigated the days and weeks leading to Jan. 6.

History can sometimes be a guide to the future.

Trump has already spent weeks on the campaign trail declaring he will not accept election results he deems dishonest.

He claims his opponents will “cheat like dogs,” and he frequently says that any election officials who refuse to blindly follow him are “corrupt.”

He has described convicted Jan. 6 rioters, including those who assaulted Capitol police, as “hostages” and “warriors.”

“Make no mistake,” Tarrio wrote. “We did this.”

You may not think about #Tim #Dunn.
Indeed, unless you’re a close observer of Texas politics, it’s likely you haven’t heard of him.
But Dunn thinks a lot about you.

For two decades he has been quietly, methodically, and patiently building a political machine that has pushed Texas forcefully to the right, sending more and more members of the centrist wing of the Republican Party into exile.

A 68-year-old #oil #billionaire, Dunn seeks to transform Texas into something resembling a #theocracy.
👉If you ever wonder why state laws and policies are more radical than most Texans would prefer, the answer has a lot to do with Dunn and his #checkbook.

If you question why Texas’s elected officials no longer represent the majority of Texans’ views, the reason can be traced to the tactics employed by Dunn and the many organizations and politicians he funds and influences.
He has built his own caucus within the Legislature that is financially beholden to him.
And despite his Sunday school pleas for comity, Dunn has deepened Texas’s political divisions:
there are the Democrats and what remains of the mainstream conservative Republican Party.
And then there are Dunn and his allies. 

For Dunn, politics, work, and religion all run together.

“I have very deliberately unsegmented my life,” he said in 2022 on a podcast hosted by Ken Harrison, the chair of #Promise #Keepers, a national evangelical group for men.

“I don’t have one approach in business and another approach in ministry and another approach in church . . . I work for God, and God has given me a bunch of jobs to do.”

Dunn directs that work from the center of a hive of his own creation, surrounded by politicians and pastors, fellow oil billionaires, and political consultants, all of whom are carrying out his vision.

He still has a bee on a string—except these days, that bee is the state of Texas.
