The Real Story of January 6
Lee Smith
FTA:
On July 27, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s select committee to investigate events surrounding the Jan. 6 protests at the Capitol will hold its first hearing. The panel is part of a broader effort to paint the demonstration as an “insurrection,” and thereby characterize nearly 75 million Donald Trump voters as “domestic terrorists.” But there’s another reason Pelosi and her colleagues, law enforcement, and the press are pushing the insurrection narrative—to cover up the one obvious crime committed that day in the Capitol building, a murder.
See it in context: On May 4, 1970, Ohio National Guardsmen shot to death four Kent State University students protesting the Vietnam War. Events earlier that week set the stage for violent confrontation. The radicals who dominated the protest movement were not angels. They threw beer bottles at policemen. The campus ROTC was set on fire. Students threw rocks, too, sending one policeman to the hospital. After the students failed to disperse, the Guardsmen took their positions to fire.
No one except historians of the period remember any of what led to the massacre because the most salient fact is that uniformed Americans shot dead four unarmed protestors in cold blood. That’s why the Kent State shooting is one of the darkest moments in U.S. history.
The Jan. 6 shooting of an unarmed protestor in the Capitol building also shocks the conscience of the nation. However, legal and political measures, and the media’s false accounts of Jan. 6, have been employed to bury the murder of Ashli Babbitt and shield the identity of the U.S. Capitol Police officer who killed her.
Charges have been brought against hundreds of Trump supporters for their actions during the protest. Dozens have been detained without bail in a Washington, DC jail for non-violent offenses, some of them misdemeanors, like trespassing. Federal and Washington, DC authorities refuse to make public the entirety of the 14,000 hours of videotape in possession of the U.S. Capitol Police and instead leak clips to the press selectively edited to put the protestors in the worst possible light.
And what of the plainclothes policeman who drew his weapon on Ashli Babbitt and shot her in the throat? After a cursory investigation, local and federal law authorities declined any further action. And with that, Democratic Party officials and the press made the most important fact of Jan. 6 disappear. Because Republican officials are scared the media will tar them as “insurrectionists,” too, they have made no effort to hold anyone accountable for the most gruesome crime ever committed in their place of work.
Republicans have shown their side little loyalty in the six months since the protests. Though vocal, for instance, in their defense of Cuban democracy activists, only a handful of GOP officials have said anything about the Biden administration’s political prisoners. And thus Pelosi knew that her committee would put House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy in a bind.
If he appointed members to it, he’d be legitimizing another witch-hunt, like the special counsel investigation and the two impeachment inquiries, heading into 2022 midterms. On the other hand, boycotting the committee would give the Democrats an open field.
The story of Jan. 6 is simple—it’s Ashli Babbit’s story. It’s the story of her life, her love of her country, and the Air Force veteran’s service to it. Call her family to testify and then her friends. Call the men and women she served with. Tell the story of her life every day.
And tell the story of her murder. Tell it every day.
It wasn’t Trump supporters who desecrated congress, but the officer who drew blood in its halls and those who are protecting a killer. Use the hearings to put them on trial. Make federal and Washington, DC authorities testify. Put the question directly to Pelosi and her colleagues: Why are they hiding a murderer?

There are so many of us that say this!
The Sorry Social Media ban many that have already said this!
The only way to get the truth out is to risk being banned like so many I know including great sites like Cop Humor!
I don’t know a way how to spread the word without getting banned.
I stated last night a friend of mine got banned from a meme in 2019 he had posted.
We are in a bad way to share news.
Great post.
That last paragraph is especially powerful.
Good post.
