Julian Elie Khater, 32, of Pennsylvania and George Pierre Tanios, 39 of Morgantown, W.Va., were arrested Sunday and are expected to appear in federal court Monday.

“Give me that bear s—,” Khater allegedly said to Tanios on video recorded at the Lower West Terrace of the Capitol at 2:14 p.m., where Sicknick and other officers were standing guard behind metal bicycle racks, arrest papers say.

About nine minutes later, after Khater said he had been hit with bear spray, Khater is seen on video discharging a canister into the face of Sicknick and two other officers, arrest papers allege.

I looked at Khater’s LinkedIn profile. Is it weird he has two?

One is the story the media is going with—that he has worked at restaurants and bars. The other one is where he is a recruitment consultant for Washington Frank. It's possible they are different people, but they both went to Fairleigh Dickinson University and earned a degree in Business Admin and Management.

This is weird too—I looked at the activity on LinkedIn for Khater, and on one post about two brothers who are “techies,” he tagged Michael Khater. His brother?

That’s one of the most complete and less biased articles I’ve read about it today. And I find it interesting that very few journalists—this is the only one I’ve seen—point out they are not White men. One I read just came out and said they were White men.

Notice where Michael Khater worked:

I don’t know what all this means exactly, and don’t want to jump to conclusions, but I wanted to point these strange things out. Something seems sketchy.

Oh yes, strong TDS vibes.

It seems to be a large Lebanese family. Not all seem to have TDS, but at the very least, they’re not white supremacists!

D2Team Sim also simulates training for the army for chemical warfare. Was that really bear spray? Sketchy.

Yes! I haven’t been aware of the big picture very long. I just woke up kind of recently. It’s like parallel reality that I can’t ignore now.

I’ve been digging most of today on this, and I’ve been wanting to post, but I keep getting the “you’re banned” message.

I haven’t dug much on the other guy—tanios. I’m sure there are surprises.
