Over 200 gigabytes of chat logs and recordings from paramilitary groups and militias including American Patriots Three Percent (APIII) and the Oath Keepers, collected by wilderness survival guide John Williams. The data identifies members and the organizational structure of the groups, and documents internal reactions to the revelations in the Paramilitary Election Interference and APIII leaders target DDoSecrets leaks, also provided by Williams.
After Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, Williams began infiltrating U.S. paramilitary groups. Planning to gather and leak as much information about the militias as possible, Williams joined the Utah chapter of APIII. He was soon promoted to running the chapter’s intelligence wing. Williams eventually led the state chapter and gained access to the upper echelon of APIII and their discussions. Williams also infiltrated the Oath Keepers and had access to their senior leadership. This release of more than 50,000 files includes some of the most important and sensitive parts of Williams’ work.
Jesus. The balls on that one.
The original article about this a few days ago was wild. So many interesting details about the dude and how he infiltrated these militas.

Wow, thanks for linking that, that’s mindboggling.
I hope he’s doing okay, in terms of emotional support in his life right now; spending so long undercover in such groups must have been rough on his mental wellbeing, as well as tremendously isolating.
Heroic
Paramilitary? They’re terrorists. Call a spade.
Hot damn! IT IS ALL RIGHT THERE!

Going to poke around on this tonight.
Someone should make a searchable frontend for this
Throw it all in a monster PDF? I can do that. Would that work?
I mean that works, better than nothing. I was thinking like a web ui where you enter search terms
Jeremiah Johnson would be proud
The hoods come off
