Look I’m not in the habit of making assertions that I can’t back up with a lot of receipts - Liberty County GA - run a search Randy Holman

Now run a search in the Virginia State Police Sex Offender Registry - or simply click this link

https://sex-offender.vsp.virginia.gov/sor/offenderDetails.html?regId=64354

Then cross reference the address to the IRS Tax Exempt query EIN: 83-0769850

https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/detailsPage?ein=830769850&name=Oath%20Keepers%20United&city=Salem&state=VA&countryAbbr=US&dba=&type=CHARITIES,%20DETERMINATIONLETTERS&orgTags=CHARITIES&orgTags=DETERMINATIONLETTERS

So YES this kind of research is tedious AF and time consuming but it is worth the effort to put provable facts into the public domain.

One item which keeps on coming up in these indictments, is just how many are currently unemployed, and how did they fund their little cosplay treason attempt?

We're aware of some funding the buses, but what about those from far away and hotels booked en-masse ? There's got to be a financial paper trial (as well as electronic ones of cell phones geo-fenced into certain hotel chains.)

Roger that - by my rough calculations >37% are unemployed and >42% have serious financial issues - so the persistent question remains- WHO’S FUNDING THEM? Sorry for yelling but I’m eyeballs deep in a second research project and it’s going to blow some away with the next data set I’m going to present

Perhaps another reason this smells sooo RICO-y? Thanks Filey

Exactly.. I've been saying, as we all do, where are they getting their money? Who has time to run around doing oathKeeper stuff, whatever that is, if you're working, paying rent, taking care of kids etc? Everyone needs to eat, shower, wash clothes, clean house, not that the ppl we saw at the capitol looked like they did any of that. You know what I'm getting at right? Yeah, someone was funding these krazy terrorists..

I'll be really disappointed if this doesn't become a RICO case. Certainly the morons who showed up at the capitol for the insurrection believed there was coordination among the supposedly independent groups that were involved, and the word conspiracy certainly shows up in enough filings. I'm guessing the big question is if they can prove exactly how, and by whom, this conspiracy was organized. Thanks, Filey!

I’m with you on that - because understanding the elements of RICO (not some nonsense being spewed by uniformed people) and the various steps the DOJ requires to bring RICO charges to a Grand Jury - welp it’s a lot of work but the one element I’m concerned about is “enrichment of the enterprise” - hence why I’m digging deeper into the various 501(c)(3) or(4)

Why is the NRA popping in my head? VA.

I think it’s more of dark GOP money matriculating down to organizations like Oath Keepers - I scheduled a follow up article to be published tomorrow and I went for a very deep dive...

Makes sense, but thought they had financial issues?

Funny how there seems to be a theme: Un-employed. Sex offender of some sort.

Well anyone that would bust open doors and break windows to gain access to a Capitol building is a criminal. Normal people don't act like animals.. Those people were ridiculous.. I want them to serve time, and lots of it.
