Over 200 gigabytes of chat logs and recordings from paramilitary groups and militias including American Patriots Three Percent (APIII) and the Oath Keepers, collected by wilderness survival guide John Williams. The data identifies members and the organizational structure of the groups, and documents internal reactions to the revelations in the Paramilitary Election Interference and APIII leaders target DDoSecrets leaks, also provided by Williams.

After Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, Williams began infiltrating U.S. paramilitary groups. Planning to gather and leak as much information about the militias as possible, Williams joined the Utah chapter of APIII. He was soon promoted to running the chapter's intelligence wing. Williams eventually led the state chapter and gained access to the upper echelon of APIII and their discussions. Williams also infiltrated the Oath Keepers and had access to their senior leadership. This release of more than 50,000 files includes some of the most important and sensitive parts of Williams' work.
