Meet Defendant Marc Bru -sometimes a III%er, sometimes a WA Militia and most recently a super Proud Boy
Meet Defendant Marc Bru -sometimes a III%er, sometimes a WA Militia and most recently a super Proud Boy
Based on the statement of facts - I can’t help but wonder -who paid for your airline ticket and hotel room? Were you in the Proud Boys encrypted chats & that’s how you knew where to liaise?
Yet another Proud Boy not detained RoR’d & GPS - so clearly sedition does NOT have consequences

Marc Bru social media presence;
This is Marc Bru’s Facebook account (according to the affidavit) archived and this 2018 post, archived
…here’s the thing if you look at Bru’s Facebook Friends list, this June 27, 2019 archive - do you see the difference? If you compare 2019 (22) v 2021 (13) “friends” down by nine but I’d like to draw your attention to one of Defendant Bru’s “Facebook Friends”
CheckPoint-Andrea <— I went ahead and archived their Facebook account —it appears they also have several Instagram Accounts - note the Italian Flag;
@checkpoint_tc & @checkpoint.training.camp <—notice the Italian flags prominently displayed on both Instagram accounts. I now refer you to CheckPoint Shooting Range’s YouTube channel - remember my 1st substack article?
I now refer you back to Bru’s “Facebook Friends list” - the friends highlighted deserve a bit of scrutiny. For example: mickael.mkdairsoft & archived - Troy Frey looks very familiar
Affidavit as to Defendant Bru
The affidavit also cites this Twitter account - specifically this thread by @PNWResistance which was created in May of 2020 - they did a lot of heavy lifting research. If one of my readers could please tag @PNWResistance - I would very much like to thank them for their meticulous research and if interested would like to team up with them because I genuinely respect dogged researchers.
MAY 5, 2020 Twitter Thread
The Affidavit also points to this The Sun -YouTube video but it’s this January 22, 2021 Tweet that caught my eye (because this isn’t included in the affidavit) but it’s interesting to watch them in their “native environment”
The Affidavit states that on February 3, 2021 the FBI received a “tip” from a person believed that Defendant Bru traveled to Washington DC - when the tipster asked Bru “why he was going to DC” -Bru replied “…you’re about see, it’s going to be big” - which bodes the question was he part of the discuss via Proud Boys encrypted chats?
Again credit due where credit is owed -@PNWResistance created that Twitter thread in May of 2020 and the FBI Agent used that as part of the Statement of Facts.
The Affidavit goes on to cite the various Open source photographs via Getty Images -which you can view here
What I am kind of curious about is the delay in arresting Bru, specifically the arrest warrant was approved on March 9, 2021 but he wasn’t arrested until March 30, 2021. Returned Arrest Warrant via ECF or via my public drive —It makes me kind of wonder did Bru “go to ground” -thus the delay?
And lastly what in the actual ducking duck is this ducking duckery - the Government didn’t even (orally) request detention, or ask the Court to order Defendant Bru hand over any firearms that he owns (which appear to be many and I mean many firearms) yet most egregiously Bru is not prohibited from contacting any member of the Proud Boys, III%ers or Washington Militia. I am at a loss for words and listen you don’t need to take my word for it… March 31, 2021 Conditions of Release via ECF or via my public drive
For your edification I ran a search regarding Caldwell et al - on my own newsletter and it’s in chronological order, found here
I can be extraordinarily critical of the Justice Department but I need to be clear. I have deep respect for the FBI Agents and their dogged pursuit of “bad guys”. My frustration is mainly directed at the US Attorneys Offices because if the “new” standard is - you brutally assault Law Enforcement Officers, seven Americans died and then you can ransack our Capitol Building, doing millions of dollars in damage but it’s “cool” the prosecutors won’t request you be detained. BeJesus -if that’s the new standard then what’s the point?
Sure I’m being tough and highly critical but you can’t convince me that we have two very different justice systems. FFS the BLM rallies, no one was killed, the June 1, 2020 clearing of Lafayette Square - based on the data/facts from the Metropolitan Police Department- MPD-DC DATA Unrest-Related Arrest Data as of January 17, 202
May 30 and June 2 2020, the height of the racial justice protests, 427
the June 1, 2020 over 303 individuals were booked
Versus January 6, 2021 (see pages 14 thru 16) less than 60 people were arrested and more than half of those arrest were after the deadly riot
Trump & Barr used violence to clear Lafayette Sq for his blasphemous & vulgar photo op <—🤬
So this is where I am - unless anyone can share data or facts that the heavy handed and disproportionate arrest from Summer 2020 versus the deadly January 6, 2021 insurrection is some how not worth talking about - here’s one sure way to make me “move on” arrest the Orange Hate Goblin, Mini-Orange Hate Goblin, Rudy Giuliani, Mo Brooks, Ali Alexander, Roger Stone, Alex Jones, the Republican Attorneys General Association and their progeny Rule of Law Defense Fund - remember their Robo-Call “at 1PM we will march to the Capitol”
If you’re going to make me choose RAGA or DAGA <—I’ll be their huckleberry because RAGA trying to wash the Orange filth off of them is - both hilarious and predictable. At any rate my schedule is jammed pack but I know I’m behind on a few Capitol Violence cases but at least I can schedule “publication” of my articles.
-and yes I know about the superseder that hit the oath keepers docket and the 3rd superseder in the Greenberg child sex trafficking… but I’m only one person so I’ll like publish a follow up article tomorrow regarding Greenberg…patience my friends patience
Q: D'you think the reticence to detain in custody could be covid-related?
Hey, you are awesome. I frankly don't even care to read what's been public because you have more receipts and evidence and background so it is better to get it from you. Equally frustrated that the violence and sedition has little penalty thus far for many.
Honest question, that video of his initiation-- why do so many of them look so scrawny and then they have the ammunition to compensate for that?
