00:00.230 --> 00:04.250
In this video, we're going to be taking a look at a couple of resources that are going to be designed

00:04.250 --> 00:05.120
to help us.

00:05.710 --> 00:09.490
Put together what happened with the Capitol riots that happened recently.

00:09.940 --> 00:12.310
Now part of this intelligent X part.

00:12.310 --> 00:20.320
I did put a bulletin out earlier this month on how to use this resource, but I decided that since I'm

00:20.320 --> 00:26.470
taking this other resource kind of stitch things together, it'd be good to actually include the Intelligence

00:26.470 --> 00:29.410
X report into this into a free bonus video.

00:30.850 --> 00:35.770
So the first resource we're going to take a look at is going to be Projects Republica.

00:36.070 --> 00:36.850
Org.

00:37.090 --> 00:45.430
And it can be found at projects dot propublica.org forward slash parler dash capital dash videos.

00:46.580 --> 00:51.770
Now, what this website did is and we're going to take a look at this in a minute and also the links

00:51.770 --> 00:55.100
for both of these sites are going to be in the description of this video.

00:55.100 --> 00:59.120
So some of these URLs are a little convoluted to get to.

00:59.150 --> 01:03.320
So check the description, make things a lot easier to find it if you want.

01:03.960 --> 01:04.920
Now.

01:05.930 --> 01:08.180
Parler was recently taken down.

01:09.700 --> 01:16.690
The hosting service Amazon Web Services to close them down for because they wouldn't comply with certain

01:16.690 --> 01:19.360
regulations that they had and certain concerns.

01:19.630 --> 01:26.080
And currently the site is down even though as of yesterday of this recording they did post kind of a

01:26.080 --> 01:26.830
weird.

01:27.730 --> 01:27.970
Uh.

01:28.770 --> 01:33.150
Website post that they're coming back in some fashion.

01:33.180 --> 01:39.690
Though at the time of this recording, again, the the service hasn't resurfaced yet.

01:39.720 --> 01:44.630
Now, if you're not familiar with Parler, is Parler is essentially a kind of an offshoot of Twitter.

01:44.640 --> 01:50.700
It wasn't really popular until around the time that Twitter started banning Trump.

01:51.600 --> 01:53.340
And it kind of blew up after that.

01:53.670 --> 02:00.810
It was also pretty key in how people actually coordinate during the Capitol riots.

02:00.930 --> 02:08.280
The data leak that recently happened with Parler showed the GPS locations and timestamps, and you could

02:08.280 --> 02:12.360
see kind of how that crowd moved towards the Capitol.

02:12.510 --> 02:13.590
So.

02:14.270 --> 02:16.510
Let's take a look at this resource here.

02:16.520 --> 02:21.380
And again, this is a projects propublica.org.

02:21.560 --> 02:23.210
When you get there, you're going to get this.

02:23.210 --> 02:30.830
You could actually go ahead and sign up for the journalism or for the newsletter, rather, or you could

02:30.830 --> 02:32.390
simply just close it out.

02:34.780 --> 02:38.260
Now, this is a pretty cool resource.

02:38.260 --> 02:43.570
What they did was they took all of the parlor videos and they stitched together with the particular

02:43.570 --> 02:43.840
time.

02:44.050 --> 02:46.900
So you actually see all the videos that happen in order.

02:47.320 --> 02:51.850
Now, if I scroll down in here, we can see the actual timeline here.

02:51.850 --> 02:55.510
And if you want, you can actually click on it and see the videos there.

02:55.780 --> 02:58.390
So I'm going to pause that real quick.

03:00.080 --> 03:03.630
And again, you can see it's a pretty massive timeline here.

03:03.650 --> 03:05.720
Now, let me scroll back up here again.

03:06.910 --> 03:12.580
We could do actually around DC if we just want to see videos around the capital and we're going to scroll

03:12.580 --> 03:14.620
down here, we could do near capital.

03:16.860 --> 03:19.230
And we could even do inside the capital.

03:20.040 --> 03:27.960
So this kind of goes to show you how powerful when you search social media can be and given enough time

03:27.960 --> 03:31.470
and given enough resources, you could you could do something like this.

03:31.470 --> 03:37.290
You could actually go to all these different resources for people posting stuff, take all these videos

03:37.290 --> 03:43.380
and start stitching together to create a full picture or a fuller picture, which is pretty amazing.

03:44.490 --> 03:48.240
Again, a pretty amazing resource when you start breaking this down that.

03:49.760 --> 03:51.920
They took all these different videos.

03:53.930 --> 03:54.920
Going through here.

03:54.920 --> 04:02.150
You can see it's it's quite a number of videos that they have here and that's inside the capital and

04:02.150 --> 04:03.710
the the near capital.

04:03.710 --> 04:10.160
And then you from all these different users stitching together this timeline to be able to see pretty

04:10.160 --> 04:15.290
much what happened or have at least a really good look into what happened during that.

04:15.290 --> 04:21.680
And with this, not only do you kind of put together what happened and what order, but from different

04:21.680 --> 04:26.870
points of view, but also if you're doing an investigation, you could you could clearly see a lot of

04:26.870 --> 04:31.190
people's faces in here and a lot of unique characteristics about them.

04:31.190 --> 04:36.860
Things like the two individuals wearing costumes, the kind of Viking looking costume.

04:36.860 --> 04:41.480
I'm going to say, like that guy there.

04:41.570 --> 04:44.840
You could also clearly see people's faces.

04:44.840 --> 04:52.730
Some have some people were spotted having with their work uniforms or name tags and other things, things

04:52.730 --> 04:59.210
that make them really readily available if you actually looking for something identifiable.

05:00.780 --> 05:03.570
So again, this is a really cool resource.

05:03.960 --> 05:11.040
And the other thing I like about this site is we're just going to go to the main page here.

05:13.770 --> 05:17.790
And the thing I like about this site is if we click on about.

05:20.800 --> 05:25.730
And we can see their mission statement, which is which I could appreciate Also, if we scroll down

05:25.730 --> 05:36.280
in here, we could see the awards a one which is great to see, not necessarily not necessary to kind

05:36.280 --> 05:44.050
of validate whether their what their agenda is, but actually going through here and actually seeing

05:44.050 --> 05:49.570
the transparent financial reporting and also being able to read about the staff goes a long way for

05:49.570 --> 05:53.530
me personally to to validate whether this is a legitimate site or not.

05:53.800 --> 05:58.360
But again, we're actually here for the parlor videos.

05:58.600 --> 06:04.060
But again, if this is also a good resource for doing other investigative.

06:05.950 --> 06:10.240
Reports because they do have quite a bit of information in here also.

06:10.240 --> 06:17.980
But again, financial reports, awards, mission statements and whatnot, that goes a long way for credibility.

06:19.210 --> 06:25.810
Now, the other one I want to talk about is Intelligent X, And again, the URL is really long and convoluted.

06:25.810 --> 06:29.080
So go ahead and take a look at the video here for the URL.

06:29.110 --> 06:34.000
Or better yet, go in the description and grab the URL there.

06:34.540 --> 06:42.220
Now, what intelligent did is they took all the videos that they could find in all the documents and

06:42.220 --> 06:46.450
information they could find, and they put it into one link here.

06:46.450 --> 06:49.480
So when you click on the link, you'll see this video here.

06:49.480 --> 06:51.220
It's a tick tock video.

06:52.790 --> 06:53.600
Which is great.

06:53.600 --> 06:56.480
But would you want to do is click on this tree view here.

06:58.310 --> 07:02.630
If we click here, then we can actually see all this different information in here.

07:04.520 --> 07:09.570
There's a ton of videos in here that they that they were able to scrape together in archive.

07:10.710 --> 07:12.920
There's PDF files.

07:13.070 --> 07:15.500
There's images in here.

07:16.640 --> 07:25.040
So just a lot of information in here that comes in really handy for, again, running your your investigation

07:25.040 --> 07:27.080
and identifying people on what not.

07:29.430 --> 07:37.950
So again, these are two really good resources to to go to intelligence and ProPublica and especially

07:37.950 --> 07:42.150
in regards to the recent Capitol riots.

07:42.150 --> 07:43.730
So thank you for watching.

07:43.740 --> 07:44.970
I'll see you in the next video.
