Today in Trump-related sedition:
Jeremy Bertino, a top lieutenant to Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy in federal court on Thursday, and is cooperating with the Justice Department’s investigation into the far-right extremist group.
Bertino, 43, also pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. He is the first member of the Proud Boys to plead guilty to seditious conspiracy – a major boost to the historic prosecution of the organization.
He could spend more than five years in prison, according to his plea agreement, which was read aloud in court, though prosecutors could ask a judge for a lesser sentence depending on his level of cooperation with the investigation.

So he’s supposed to give testimony Under Oath to Congress on the 14th, same day he’s announcing intentions to run for President?
This explains WHY he chose the 14th to announce!
He won’t show up to testify. This will demonstrate to his followers he’s above the law and he’ll claim this is all “a witch hunt”.
His followers will eat it UP!! Because they’re sycophants (sick-ophants?) in a cult.
He needs to be arrested and in jail ON the 14th BEFORE he can announce his candidacy.
You watch and see if I’m right.

Inspirations: The Phoenix Empire
Tumblr media
While the antagonists the players interface with the most are our mercenary band The Crows, led by Helios, they are not the true villains of the story per se.
That role goes to the Phoenix Empire, a holdover from Matt's homebrew campaigns fleshed out into our central foes. Visually and in its conquering spirit, the Empire draws on both the genuine Roman Empire as well as its various bastardizations such as in the Legion of Fallout New Vegas.
Tumblr media
Its core role, however, is financing and directing The Crows to pursue its own goals. They want to crush Green Hollow, both to prevent the formation of a new rival and to allow themselves a geographical pathway to check their current rival, The Azure Marches. In this way, the Phoenix Empire was born from all the "black flag" operations of the late 20th century and beyond.
Tumblr media
This may or may not be common knowledge at this point, but the CIA is responsible for dozens of coups around the world for this exact reason and in these exact operations. Many legitimate democratic leaders have been deposed, or worse, for the sake of the US but without the visible involvement of the US.
Tumblr media
A more modern (and obvious) example was the invasion of Crimea in 2014, where Russian forces pretended to be of mysterious origin and did not bear any identification of their country. At least, until the job was done.
While all war is disturbing, we find these operations doubly so for their subterfuge and their nakedly manipulative motivations. They made good fodder to form the center of a distant, Imperial evil that treats the good people of Green Hollow as disposable game pieces.

Sheesh! I know people from Gambia 🇬🇲! I am glad this was thwarted, although I pray they locate & arrest the remaining treacherous military personal.
“The GAF High Command in a swift military operation conducted yesterday, arrested four soldiers linked to this alleged coup plot.
“Those arrested are: Lance Corporal Sanna Fadera from the Gambia navy as the alleged ring leader of the plot; Corporal Mbarra Touray from 1st Infantry Battalion, Yundum Barracks; Corporal Ebrahima Sanno from the military police who is currently on study leave and Sergeant Gibril Darboe from The Gambia Navy.
“The apprehended soldiers are currently helping the military police with their investigations.
“Meanwhile, alleged soldiers involved in the plot either being pursued or on the run are: Corporal Njie B from the State Guards Battalion; Warrant Officer Class 2 Jadama from The Gambia Navy and one Badjie from The Gambia Navy. First names of Jadama and Badjie are yet to be established.
They should be able to detain the rest (provided they have not escaped into Senegal 🇸🇳). The last thing we need is another country being taken over from within.

Trump's trial "is a fulfillment of his rights"
Tumblr media
"That Trump will be tried for his coup attempt is not a violation of his rights. It is a fulfillment of his rights. It is the grace of the American republic. In other systems, when your coup attempt fails, what follows is not a trial."
--Timothy Snyder, PhD, Levin Professor of History, Yale University
