Conspiracy theories paint fraudulent reality of Jan. 6 riot
Associated Press ^ | January 1, 2022 | David Klepper

Posted on 01/01/2022 3:08:01 PM PST by Olog-hai

Millions of Americans watched the events in Washington last Jan. 6 unfold on live television. Police officers testified to the violence and mayhem. Criminal proceedings in open court detailed what happened.

Yet the hoaxes, conspiracy theories and attempts to rewrite history persist, muddying the public’s understanding of what actually occurred during the most sustained attack on the seat of American democracy since the War of 1812. […]

Unfounded claims that the rioters were members of antifa went viral first, only to be overtaken by a baseless claim blaming FBI operatives. Other theories say the rioters were peaceful and were framed for crimes that never happened. […]

In fact, many of those who came to the Capitol on Jan. 6 have said — proudly, publicly, repeatedly — that they did so to help the then-president. …

The moment I see names like “AP” then all I can think of is lies and untruth.

The claim that there were no FBI operatives present is offered without proof. Merrick Garland refused to answer that question when under oath, indicating a high likelihood that there WERE FBI operatives there. The FBI’s role in the Whitmer caper proves they are willing to do that sort of thing, and the unanswered questions about Ray Epps and several other provocateurs further bolster suspicions.

For the thousands of us who attended the event, and saw things so differently, this will not rest well. All of the people who I engaged were peace loving, kind, simple, non agressive, our event we fully believed was HIJACKED.

We had a year of being trained that protesters burning and looting cities were mostly peaceful. Understandably, Americans are kind of confused how something which was by far more tame than any BLM protest that took place in Washington DC is a ‘violent insurrection.’

Can’t be because it was white people who did it; many of the looters and arsonists destroying Washington DC were white during BLM protests.

Your reply bespeaks a lack of faith, and no patience.

AP is the Deep State Media newsfeed which is required to be read verbatim by their subscriber news outlets.

Nice Goebbels impression, AP.

Still doesn’t work outside of your echo chamber…

After a year of antifa and BLM rioting and causing chaos anyplace conservatives gathered, we’re supposed to believe that they all stayed home in grandma’s basement eating cookies on jan 6

Somehow the media never showed the hundreds of thousands of people who attended the rally but went nowhere near the Capitol nor any video of the people completely peacefully walking between the velvet ropes in the makes ic rotunda. Many of them had probably never even been in Washington DC before most of them have probably never been inside that magnificent building.

How many of them walked into the Capitol after its doors were open, the signs were gone and the bicycle rack type barricades were moved out of the way. These people were hunted down and arrested all over the country. How many of these have pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor so that they do not have five counts adding up to 20 years in prison.

A life of misery and slavery is no life at all. Most of my lack of faith is reserved for humans on this planet.
