Hey everyone. My name is Amanda, and I have been undercover as a MAGA since the 2020 November Stop the Steal Rally in Washington, DC.
I was doxxed about a month ago. I learned it was an issue when QAnon John's COO (yes, I know very important people!) sent it to me. I thought it was ok to continue going to straight up nazi events, but have recently learned my "friends" in that world have also found out.

I have worn a hidden mic to the Patriot Roundup, Health and Freedom Conferences, Women for America First, CPAC, Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene fundraisers, a Roger Stone/Proud Boys collaborative grift, you name it.

I planned to only go to things and be an invisible participant. However, I quickly shifted gears.
Since February, I have fully led a second life as a racist, antisemitic fascist. I have had friends, job offers, and worked to network and make connections.
99% of it is on tape.

On Aug. 25, 1814, British troops burned every government building in Washington, D.C., - except one.
Many people at that time believed such an invasion by the British would never happen.
The Brits had two objectives: burn the government buildings in Washington, thereby paralyzing the city, then head to Baltimore to capture that city, a key base for privateers.
The day before, about 4,000 battle-hardened British troops met little resistance at the Battle of Bladensburg where disorganized militia made futile efforts to stop them.
Messengers reached Washington prior to the British arrival, advising people to leave the city and flee to the countryside.
When word reached President Madison’s wife, Dolley, in the White House, (then called The President’s House), she and her staff swiftly gathered a number of items, including silverware, books, clocks, curtains and cabinet records. In the few moments before the British appeared, the first lady cut the Gilbert Stuart painting of George Washington out of its frame and left the building with her esteemed valuables.
As the British began their mission of burning all public buildings, it became apparent that orders were to spare private homes and other buildings.
At that time, Dr. William Thornton was the superintendent of patents and as many government officials were vacating the city, he was one of the few who stayed on acting in a “protective mode.”
Thornton had been the winner of the open competition for the Capitol Building’s design in 1792. At least 10 entries had been submitted based on prescribed requirements, with no clear initial winner. Lebanon artist John Trumbull had urged Thornton to submit his (Thornton’s) own idea, albeit as a late entry, (and unfinished). His design was finally selected by George Washington.
With an early realization of the British goal to burn all government buildings, Thornton, with some help, moved important papers and books eight miles away to his farm, where Bethesda, Maryland, is today.
According to more than one source, when loaded cannons were already pointed in the direction of his beloved Patent Office, Thornton asked the soldiers involved, “Would you destroy this building for which the whole civilized world is interested? If so, fire away and let the charge pass through my body.”
The dramatic effect was reported as magical upon the British soldiers. As a result, the building was ultimately saved from destruction by the British.
The Library of Congress was not so lucky as its fire lost most of its books. Thomas Jefferson later donated his own private library of 6,487 volumes to replace those lost.
While British troops were still on Washington streets, at least one terrific storm with torrential rains
occurred which put out many fires. The British decided to return to their ships. The strong winds did destroy part of the Patent Office’s roof.
Damage to the interior of the White House was severe and eventually refurbished.
In spite of Thornton’s brave actions, within 11 years the United States Patent Office would have its own fire caused by hot ashes igniting fire wood stored in the building’s basement. As a result 10,000 patents and thousands of “models” were destroyed.
The British troops failed at capturing Baltimore and they also failed to reduce Fort McHenry in its harbor. It was all of this action which led, of course, to Francis Scott Key’s immortal poem supplying the lyrics to “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
