EXCLUSIVE: Is Leftwing Journalist John Nichols the Infamous January 6 “Scaffold Commander”?
Liberty Daily ^ | By J.D. Rucker • Nov. 2, 2022

Posted on 11/02/2022 5:57:03 AM PDT by Red Badger

While much of the focus for January 6 “insurrection” skeptics has been on Ray Epps, there’s another mystery man who is arguably more interesting. The “Scaffold Commander” has clear images of him. There are videos of him coordinating mostly peaceful protesters to enter the Capitol Building. Yet he has never been identified nor has he been arrested, prompting many to assume he was part of the con from the beginning.

Here he is:

VIDEOS AT LINK................

A tip came across the desk at The Liberty Daily Tuesday night that showed an image of John Nichols and the Scaffold Commander. They definitely appear to be very similar, but I questioned it all at first. Why would the Deep State, Nancy Pelosi, or whoever orchestrated all of this use a well-known journalist who writes for the leftwing publication, The Nation? Why not get an average Joe who nobody knew? Then, I watched a video of Nichols juicing up a crowd at a Bernie Sanders rally and I realized the guy is very talented. He has a gift for rallying people and getting them to do what he wants. That’s when I realized he might have been the PERFECT person to man the bullhorn and coordinate the “insurrection.”

I discussed all of this on the latest mini-episode of my show. I also played audio in which Nichols’ voice and the voice of the Scaffold Commander seem eerily similar. So, I ask the question: Are they the same person? I’ll leave that up to you all to decide. Here’s my show:

VIDEO AT LINK..............

The image below shows the Scaffold Commander and John Nichols side-by-side. Unfortunately, the image of Nichols is a decade old; it was the closest I could get to the proper mirrored angle. Again, the placement of the crooked teeth on the lower right side of the mouth seems to match. The lines on the face also match, albeit from a face about 8 years younger. The glasses match. But the part that stood out the most to me were the eyes. Age them a decade and have him yelling like the Scaffold Commander and it seems to be another match.

The nose is hard to match because of the angle but the basic shape is the same. And when I superimposed the images, the facial structure is identical. As you look at the image, remember the image of John Nichols on the right is a decade old.

Scaffold Commander John Nichols

Considering the similarities it’s fair to ask if John Nichols was the Scaffold Commander. I’m not accusing him. I’m just asking what you all think. Leave a comment about this on my Substack.

Somebody who has other ways of influencing public opinion, is unlikely to take the risks “scaffolding commander” took.

The left used to do these public confrontation things all the time back in the 1960s. I've read elsewhere that one of the significant participants in the Jan 6 stuff is a known BLM agitator.

Some people will simply do stuff that other people consider risky or insane. I will not be surprised if it doesn't turn out to be him, and I will not be surprised if it does.

I've heard of stranger things.

It’s more likely it was someone with FBI connections, than some journalist.

And I would have no trouble believing that given what has come out so far.

This guy isn't just "some journalist," he's also a far Left radical activist from Madison, WI. He's been a speaker at Bernie events, and in his interviews he espouses all the typical Left-wing talking points (systemic racism, police brutality, MAGA extremists, etc.).

His published books include: Uprising: How Wisconsin Renewed the Politics of Protest, from Madison to Wall Street and Horsemen of the Trumpocalypse: A Field Guide to the Most Dangerous People in America.

And if you listen to the audio comparisons of this guy speaking it doesn't rule him out.

If he were in his twenties or even his thirties it would be more likely. He’s in his sixties. At that age people are more careful, and less willing to take risks or commit to mad schemes. Even if he were going to riot he’d probably do it for his own side, rather than going to all the trouble of pretending to be someone he wasn’t.

And the activist thing? There are “activists” and there are activists. There are people who just write books in favor of protests and uprisings and people who actually participate in them. There’s some overlap, but people in one group aren’t necessarily in the other.

Weighs heavily toward a match.

Age? So, how old is Ray Epps? He must have been up past his bedtime the night before when he was agitating.

And even if this guy’s not Scaffold Commander, Scaffold Commander is that old.

Orwell Rolls in His Grave [DVD]

[Amazon ‘Product Description’:]

The chilling documentary film “Orwell Rolls in His Grave” examines the relationship between the media, corporate America, and government. In a country where the “top 1% control 90% of the wealth”, the film argues that the media system is nothing but a “subsidiary of corporate America.” It’s a stunning fact that the media received 1 billion dollars in campaign ads for the last election. Large corporations own the television networks, and the sheer number of stations/channels available gives the public the “illusion of choice.” Yes, there are tons of channels to chose from, but this “ostensible diversity conceals an actual uniformity.”

Yes, but the Scaffold Commander is doing it for his own side (or is being paid by the federal government) and probably doesn’t have other ways of expressing himself.

Orwell Rolls in His Grave Review from IMDB:

“Totally left-wing liberal biased attack on Reagan, Bush & Murdock
blkhwk4128 July 2012

“This movie is a little unfocused in that it attacks the media (mainly Fox News and Rupert Murdoch), George W. Bush, and attempts to say the election was a fraud (ignoring the evidence that GWB did in fact win by all accepted criteria). As was widely reported, several unbiased news organizations did a recount of the ballots after the election and found that out of the 3 most accepted criteria for manually recounting ballots, GWB won on all counts. Even the lefty New York Times, who took part in the recount, agrees GWB won fair and square. It’s amazing to see the director ignore heaps of evidence in his quest to prove an irrational point.”

This ‘film’ was completely slanted throughout. It showed ‘viewpoints’ by some of the most liberal left-wing people in the country -such as Mikey Moore and avowed communist Bernie Sanders.

Put this crap forth as a ‘documentary’ should be a crime. Unfortunately there are many uneducated people who will see it and think ‘how wonderful’, silly them. This trash would get a minus, if possible.”

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0410407/reviews?ref_=tt_urv

I have not watched this doc but find the comment about GWB stealing the election ironic and wonder exactly what John Nichols had to say in it.

"Author specifically says that the comparison pics are 10 years apart….and, that the guy could’ve had HIS CROOKED TOOTH repaired, in that time.

He goes on to say that the bottom crooked teeth still match (which, they certainly do)."

He has the janky uppers repaired and not the lowers? When any ortho guy is gonna quote you one price for the work you need done -- and insurance wants it that way -- and likely do it all at one sitting? CMON, [WO]MAN!

"Someone check his cell activity on 1/6! ...." Yeah, because you surely aren't going to do it.

First of all, anything from FudRucker, who has been banned and reborn on this website too often to count, requires complete skepticism.

Secondly, Nichols has a low-volume Twitter account, one of you could have simply asked him on Twitter for comment, knowing full good and well FudRucker would never do so.

Thirdly, here is Nichols total tweeting for J6.

All are from "iPhone for Twitter".

All that can be deduced from this list is that, the guy doesn't sleep properly -- a hallmark of every single Leftard I have ever known -- and, that Nichols claims to have actually contemporaneously spoken to Democrat Congressman @MarkPocan in the 2:59pm [all ET] tweet, which should be recorded on a Congressional call log that can be summoned via FOIA:

Thanks for posting this, RB.

You seem to have attracted the usual turning worms.

They’re in overdrive, this week.
