Jan. 6 Video Suggests 'Russia Insider' Entered Capitol

By Michael Edison Hayden
SPLC, September 23, 2021


Russia Insider founder Charles Bausman breached the walls of the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, according to research conducted by a Europe-based open-source intelligence (OSINT) group into video captured during the insurrection.

The findings by the OSINT group build on Hatewatch reporting showing that Bausman traveled to Washington, D.C., on the day of the insurrection, then disappeared from his home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and reemerged in Moscow. In the months since, he has served as a talking head on Russian television, commenting on American affairs with a reactionary point of view. Hatewatch previously noted that Bausman claimed on a Russian Orthodox Christian-themed television station to have stopped short at the Capitol’s balustrades without entering the building. Footage obtained by the OSINT group, in which a man bearing a strong resemblance to Bausman is visible inside the Capitol, appears to contradict his account.

The OSINT group, whose members choose to remain anonymous, goes by the name “Blue Hatz.” A person who operates a Twitter account associated with the group described them to Hatewatch as “an independent international team of 15 ‘OSINTers’ and investigators from Europe, Russia, Ukraine and US” who have been using found footage to identify those who breached the Capitol building on Jan. 6. In the Russian television interviews, Bausman claims to be a journalist covering the events of Jan. 6, rather than a pro-Trump demonstrator. But the man the OSINT group believes to be Bausman – shown in side-by-side images in a tweet they published – can be seen wearing a red, Trump-branded hat, blending in with other supporters of the 45th president inside a hallway. The video shows the man strolling and taking video with his cell phone as rioters move through the Capitol building.

Pro-Russia blogger worked in Lancaster County to 'Stop the Steal' between election, Capitol riot

Russ Walker, Lancaster Online
Nov. 1, 2021

Millions of Americans were angry after then-President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.

They rallied online and in person, from Peach Bottom to Washington, D.C., shouting claims that the election was stolen over the six weeks between Election Day and the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Charles Bausman, whose historic Lancaster Township barn was used for an August 2020 rally of white nationalists, was one of those Americans.

What sets apart Bausman, who moved to Lancaster in 2018, is his role as the creator and editor of a pro-Putin propaganda blog, Russia Insider, and his connections in white nationalist and antisemitic circles, both locally and globally.

Belarus grants asylum to suspect in US Capitol riot

Associated Press, March 23, 2022

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A former San Francisco Bay Area resident facing federal criminal charges from the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol has been granted asylum in Belarus, the former Soviet nation’s state media reported Tuesday.

Evan Neumann, 49, was charged a year ago with assaulting police, including using a metal barricade as a battering ram during the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021. In an interview with Belarus 1 channel that aired last year, he acknowledged being at the building that day but rejected the charges and said he did not hit any officers.

The move comes a month into Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. U.S. President Joe Biden was heading to Europe to talk with allies about possible new sanctions against Russia and more military aid for Ukraine.

“I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job," Trump said, according to The Times. "I faced great pressure because of Russia. That's taken off.”

"I'm not under investigation," he added.

19. Disinformation's big win

by Scott Rosenberg
Axios, Jan. 8, 2021

The road to yesterday's ransacking of the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob began four years ago with the Russian theft of Democratic party emails.

Why it matters: Russia aims to undermine U.S. democracy, and this week's turmoil is another sign of its success.

The big picture: Disinformation campaigns work in the short term to target enemies and in the long term to undermine the stability of social systems.

Be smart: The people who invaded Congress Wednesday to stop the certification of a U.S. presidential election weren't paid by the Kremlin or acting under orders from Putin. But their actions — like those of the president who stoked their rage with lies — couldn't have been more aligned with Russia's goals when it attacked the U.S. political system in 2016.

* The short-term goal was to help elect Trump, whom the Kremlin accurately viewed as a force for chaos and disruption in Washington.

* The long-term goal was to create lasting mistrust among Americans in their own elections.

A Bear in Our House

by Zev Shalev and Heidi Cuda
Narrative.Org, Sept. 10, 2021

A suspected Russian asset was involved in organizing the January 6 attempted coup, including supplying accommodation and a gathering place for protest leaders in the weeks and days leading up to the storming of the Capitol.

Charles Bausman’s father was the Moscow Bureau Chief for Associated Press between 1968 and 1972, just the type of role Soviet officials would have targeted for recruitment to their intelligence services. It’s unclear if the elder Bausman was ever recruited, but Charles who has spent most of his adult life in Moscow, bears all the hallmarks of a man working for the Kremlin.

Snip…

STRANGE BEDFELLOWS

In psychological warfare, there are no strange bedfellows, and the purported Russian sleeper agent Bausman and gun crazy Pastor Sean Moon, of the Rod Iron Ministries, also known as the World Peace Unification Sanctuary, have been linked together during the lead up to the January 6 insurrection.

Turns out the next-gen Moonies and the alleged Russian spy Bausman reportedly played a much bigger role in the January 6 Insurrection than previously known.

And on Jan. 3, Bausman allowed out of town groups to stay over at his Pennsylvania property, specifically Sean Moon’s Rod of Iron group from Warren County. In fiery speeches, Moon invoked God’s name and fear of a Chi Com planet to whip people into a Trump-defending frenzy. Moon’s brother owns a tommy gun warehouse, whose 2016 grand opening was attended by Eric and Lara Trump. Eric was the guest speaker at the event. Donald Trump is scheduled to spend the 20th anniversary of 9/11 with Moon’s mother, Hak Ja Han Moon, the widow of Moonies founder Reverend Sun Myung Moon. Trump is listed as the featured speaker at the billionaire widow’s conference.

Putin questions U.S. prosecution of Capitol rioters, saying mob carried only ‘political requests’

By Isabelle Khurshudyan
The Washington Post, June 4, 2021

ST. PETERSBURG — Less than two weeks from a first face-to-face with President Biden in Geneva, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday criticized the U.S. prosecution of rioters who took part in the January attack on the Capitol, calling it an example of American "double standards."

Snip…

“These are not looters or thieves, these people came with political requests,” Putin said of the pro-Trump mobs that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6.

The moderator at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum then asked Putin to clarify if he was defending the rioters, adding in a joking tone that the comments could lead to Putin “being banned online.”

“I’m not giving any evaluations to the actual event. I’m talking about what followed after,” he said, adding that he does “not give a damn” if he is banned from social media sites.

And he gets away with it as per usual.

Like getting Trump installed as POTUS.

[anarch]

22. I'm hoping maybe this is the start of calling him out on it, at least

Like everything else he's done before and since, too...the man really is the biggest asshole of our era, I think.

[Irish_Dem]

24. Yes it is amazing that there is little talk of the crime of the century.

No public outcry.

Putin takes over our country, half the US congress, a sitting president, half the Supreme Court and the media. Helps stage an insurrection.

Funds the NRA to promote gun violence, tears our country apart with all kinds of psy-op propaganda.

Of course the corrupt GOP is a willing partner to all of this. They want what Putin has.

[anarch]

30. it's too outlandish for people to handle

I sort of look at it as, Russia won WWIII, which was an information war--the U.S. was pretty much mortally wounded in 2016, and we have not recovered yet (and maybe never will from some of the damage); by having these public hearings maybe we have a chance to, well, take our country back as they say.

[Irish_Dem]

31. Exactly. Putin won WWIII and that is why he invaded Ukraine.

Because of his efforts the West was greatly weakened.
The US very much divided and its democracy in question.

Putin was able to proceed with his goal of global domination along with China.
Putin gets the West, China the East.

Right people cannot face reality, it is too painful and hard to grapple with.

Putin and the GOP have us to the point where the regular slaughter of children as they sit in school and grandma as she goes to the grocery or church is normal and we do nothing at all.

This is how you know Putin won WWIII.

[anarch]

32. yep...so I'm hoping this is maybe the start of the end for all that

because fuck that guy, and fuck his orange puppet too, and people are just going to have to wake up to the fact that they've been swindled, or else I guess maybe they can all move to Russia or something.

[Irish_Dem]

33. Hard to tell at this point.

American oligarchs and corrupt GOP politicians want what Putin has.
Total, permanent power and access to all US assets.

A big chunk of the American people are fine with losing US democracy and handing everything over to the oligarchs and politicians. These people get white Jesus minority rule and can stick it to the libs.

Would make a fascinating novel if I were not living in it.

[FarPoint]

26. That is what I have called it since the attack...

It was a coup d'é·tat attempt...with domestic terrorist.

[Kid Berwyn]

34. "An attempted coup." -- Rep. Bennie Thompson.

Trump lost, yet he conspired to remain in power, doing whatever necessary including murder and treason. Going by what he says and does, I believe Donald J Trump to be too stupid and depraved to lead such a plot. His biggest crush, though, is another thing.
