WTAF!!! US military officers were paid to hunt down Americans. Your taxes paid their retirement and training. They hunted you like terrorist. They created the psyops and propaganda.
Task Force 1621 (TF1621) was a short-lived civilian, privately funded intelligence organization established on January 9, 2021, immediately after the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. It consisted of over 40 veteran military and government counterterrorism and intelligence specialists.
Lt Col J Hicks – Cofounder
Lt. Col. J. Hicks (Ret.), often styled as Lt. Col. Hicks (Ret.) in TF1621 materials, served as a co-founder of the task force. He has a background in military intelligence or counterterrorism operations. In 2002, he collaborated directly with Heath Gross during HUMINT counterterrorism operations in Kuwait, describing Gross at the time as one of the most experienced counterterrorism officers available.35
Hicks publicly emphasized that TF1621 was created to support overburdened government agencies in addressing domestic terrorism threats following January 6. He served as the organization’s media contact (J Hicks, media@tf1621.org, associated with a 757 area code in Virginia). Public biographical details beyond his TF1621 role and prior collaboration with Gross are sparse; he maintained a relatively low public profile.
Heath Gross – Lead
Heath Gross, a retired U.S. Army Counterintelligence Special Agent, was tapped as interim Task Force leader and technical consultant for TF1621.21
Key elements of his background include:
Extensive counterterrorism experience before and after 9/11, including service in the Middle East.
Prior to 9/11, he co-authored the Fort Bragg Terrorism Threat Response Plan.
In 2002, he served as Special Projects Officer for HUMINT counterterrorism operations in Kuwait.
Transitioned to the private sector in competitive intelligence and strategic analysis.
Founder of Sedulo Group (a competitive intelligence and global strategy firm), where he served as CEO and later transitioned to Chief Strategy Officer. He has also been associated with Always-On Insights.
Education includes the University of Louisville and the U.S. Army Intelligence Center and School.
His expertise aligned well with TF1621’s use of data analytics, OSINT, and intelligence fusion. (Note: While the query mentions work with the CIA’s Special Activities Division, public sources emphasize his Army Counterintelligence and HUMINT counterterrorism roles.)
John Fenzel – CENSA, Army Special Forces
Colonel John Fenzel (U.S. Army, Ret.) is a senior Army Special Forces officer with extensive national security and government experience. He joined TF1621 in February 2021 to help lead efforts toward a 9/11-style commission investigating the January 6 Capitol events.25
Key elements of his background include:
•Combat and operational service as a Special Forces officer on battlefields around the world.
•Served as Operations Officer for the 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne), directing planning and execution of Special Forces operations in Bosnia, Kosovo, and Europe (noted in a 2000 White House Fellows announcement when he was a Major).
•Military assistant on the personal staff of the Secretary of Defense.
•Special Assistant to the Vice President.
•Staff Director of the Office of Homeland Security (OHS) under Governor Tom Ridge.
•White House Fellow during the Clinton and Bush administrations.
•Founding member and strategy chair (or key leader) of the Council for Emerging National Security Affairs (CENSA), where he remains listed on the Board of Advisors. CENSA focuses on emerging national security issues.
His combination of Special Forces operational experience, high-level government service (including homeland security), and involvement in national security policy/think-tank work made him a natural fit for TF1621’s investigative and analytical mandate.
Dr. Brandon Cosley – Managed the TF1621 Rival analytics team
🔥🔥🔥Breaking! TF1621, a secretive commission with over 40 previous military intelligence and veterans, were involved in investigating Jan 6. This Washington DC crew set up shop within 72 hours of Jan 6 and pegged it the equivalence to 911.
Their cohort, Rival Analytics used machine learning, neurolinguistics, and sentiment analysis to sift through millions of social media and chat room posts to identify and evaluate credible threats of violence against US persons and property.
Here’s the “Task Force 1621” names that I could get:
🔸Lt Col J Hicks - cofounder
🔸Heath Gross - lead, worked with CIA special Activities Division, Army Counter Intelligence officer, Sedulo group
🔸John Fenzel - CENSA, Army Special Forces
🔸Dr. Brandon Cosley - Managed the TF1621 Rival analytics team
Interestingly TF1621 claims to be non partisan but their X page follows Biden and Harris and zero other individuals besides leftist media. Brandon Cosley follows Obama.
“Heath Gross has supported multiple federal and local investigations as a technical consultant. Most recently, he worked on the investigation into the killing of Breonna Taylor by police last March (2020) in Louisville, KY. His Sedulo Group started out in KY.”
John Fenzel Joined Task Force 1621 to Help Lead a 9/11-Like Commission Investigating the Siege on the Capitol. They believed John's experience and leadership would play a crucial role in forging a supportive relationship with the Congressional commission, should one be formed. Interestingly one was formed, and did they communicate? Also his Council for Emerging National security studies (CENSA) wrote a report on Jan 6. Also when they signed him up later in Feb, 2021, he had already designed a timeline which they utilized.
Sedition and insurrection charges? You don’t say..
“TF1621 is narrowly focused on supporting US intelligence and law enforcement agencies in identifying credible threats against US persons and property.
TF1621 views the entering of restricted areas of the Capitol grounds as a criminal offense, as stated by the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. Individuals that participated in the Capitol occupation with the intent to disrupt congressional proceedings, by definition, committed insurrection. Those that planned, orchestrated, lead, financed, or otherwise colluded to disrupt the Constitutionally mandated proceedings, may also be guilty of sedition.”
