What really occurred on January 6
American Thinker ^ | 12 Aug, 2023 | Douglas Schwartz

Much of the January 6, 2021 mythology is wrong, on the right and left. The J6 relevance continues, as the basis for Trump's impeachment1 and indictment3. Tucker Carlson's unaired interview with Steven Sund, Capitol Police chief on J6, is probative. Carlson intended to air the interview the day he was fired. Sund, and the sergeants at arms of the House and Senate, "resigned" on January 7. These lifelong, consummate law enforcement professionals were at the top of their profession. Carlson elicited Sund's insistence he was denied intelligence indicating that wholesale violence was planned: "This didn't have to happen. Everything appears to be a cover-up." Sund reported that the crowd was filled with federal agents during "a planned, coordinated attack." Carlson just re-interviewed Sund. (Must viewing.) Carlson: "a systematic denial of intelligence and support."

Were these three officials fired to create convenient scapegoats? Was the intent to silence them before installing compliant replacements? Pelosi's J6 committee destroyed evidence. Sund revealed that whistleblowers have been forced out (Capitol employees lack whistleblower protections).

Many on the right assume that everyone indicted was innocent of seditious conspiracy. The original and superseding indictments of Oath Keepers defendants appear to dispel that idea:

While certain Oath Keepers members and affiliates inside of Washington, D.C., breached the Capitol grounds and building, others remained stationed just outside of the city in QRF [Quick Reaction Force] teams. The QRF teams were prepared to rapidly transport firearms and other weapons into Washington, D.C., in support of operations aimed at using force to stop the lawful transfer of presidential power.

The indictments describe individuals playing Rambo, with firearms, ammo, encrypted messaging, short-wave radios, scopes, military attire, and night-vision devices, much of this stashed across the Potomac in Virginia. They split into two attention-grabbing "stacks" for their Capitol assault:...

It is really sad when there is so much deception that you can’t trust any “evidence”. Maybe there were some bad actors on the right, but how would you know? The actions of the government to cause the incursion of the Capitol cast doubt on everything they are now claiming. I doubt that the truth will ever be known.

Indeed. I think lefties are such bleeping hypocrites in that they can incite violence all the time and almost never be held accountable, but if conservatives do it, they are held accountable. My point? I’m fed up with the double standards!

“in support of operations aimed at using force to stop the lawful transfer of presidential power.”

Just one little thing wrong with that presumption - President Trump would be continuing in power for the next two week and would have put a stop to any such “operations”.

Guns were left in Virginia because DC is known to be run by Amendment II stompers.

In retrospect, we all should have revolted everywhere that day. It seems to work for the commies.

I, too, am fed up with the double standards. More than that, I’m fed up with all the attention on the J6 protest and not the even worse problem that was being protested — the vote fraud.

“Oath Keepers”

Such an organization was undoubtedly infiltrated with federal operatives.

All large activist groups should always be presumed to be infiltrated by government agents.

The ATF would have a man in and the FBI would have a man in. There would be agents placed in all significant regions.

“we all should have revolted everywhere that day.”

During the next economic downturn government-harassed people like Musk will arrange for autonomous regions in other countries.

Many very young Americans will renounce their US citizenship after getting foreign residency visas.

Americans with Mexican or Indian citizenship will simply fly to Mexico or India.

“Select the country name from the following list for information on how to avoid dual U.S. and foreign Social Security taxes, as well as how to apply for benefits under the agreement with a particular country.”

https://www.ssa.gov/international/agreement_descriptions.html

Remember folks, US governments are well-armed and have very nasty technology. Mass uprisings will result in mass carnage.

Retire as soon as practical. Don’t expand a business unnecessarily.

Think of yourselves as living in Eastern Europe in the late 1940s.

“In retrospect, we all should have revolted everywhere that day.”

The most important thing we can do is to fight to keep property taxation bearable.

The national government is likely lost until the Hispanics realize they have the same ‘shoes’ we do.

I am an American citizen & am most certainly tired of the double standards. I think that when & if the truth can be ascertained in a given serious situation, that appropriate punishment for the offenders is the answer. By “appropriate” punishment, I don’t mean a slap on the wrists & a jail sentence. I mean punishment of a sort that the offenders won’t soon forget & would put fear into the hearts of others who might be contemplating doing the same thing at some time. Some would call it cruel & unusual punishment. Sorry, but what has been done in the recent past doesn’t always seem to be effective as a deterrent, so maybe we need to bring back some “old” methods that have not been used in a long time or have not been employed in this country.

I read a lot of good articles like this one but am amazed to see no discussion of the activist Jaden X.

He filmed Ashli Babbitts death and shouted for people to burn the Capitol down.

He freely admits he was anti MAGA and infiltrated.

He got very little punishment.

Planned by Nancy Pelosi, the FBI and BLM/Antifa.

Odd that's not mentioned.

What really happened? The American Communist Party has a successful coup of our elections. And our chosen ‘leaders’ are trying to make deals with the Communists to keep their offices and privileges.

/-),, or not so odd considering upside down world of the Uniparty , in fact one could call it MO SOP.

I listened to Mr.Sund interveiw with Tucker.

The Whole issue reads like a Baltimore mob
( ask Nancy about her dad )
organized crime coup to seat a fraudulently elected president.

.charges for the firebombers and police assaults the night of Trump’s inauguration in 2020 dropped.

The good guys were ignored and fired when they tried to do their job and duty.

Tells you all you need to know of who the bad huys are and aren’t.

You could have admissions and confessions, plain evidence supporting it, signed letters, film, whatever, and nothing would change: “Jan 6 = Orangeman bad.”

It’s like watching Jesus cure a cripple and saying, “You can’t do that on a Saturday!”

Our job is to document the truth for whatever is left in posterity.
