I was at the Capitol at 2:30 pm as everything unfolded. Here is what I saw and how it compares with the official media narrative and released videos.
You have all heard about the “violent riots” that happened in Washington DC. I was there, at the capital as everything happened, and I can tell you this is all fake news. In fact it is worse—it is manufactured news. I looked it up, and here is the official time line reported by MSM.
6 a.m.
Crowds of Trump supporters, estimated in the thousands, prepare for a pro-Trump rally near the Ellipse. Many began gathering the night before. Trump tweeted about the rally on Dec. 19: “Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, be wild!”
11 a.m.
Trump’s “Save America Rally” begins first with the president’s sons Eric and Donald Trump Jr., then his lawyer, Rudy Guiliani. Trump starts speaking shortly before noon at about 11:50 a.m. and says, “And after this, we’re going to walk down there, and I’ll be there with you, we’re going to walk down ... to the Capitol and we are going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women.” Trump speaks for more than an hour. At the conclusion, thousands walk to the Capitol.
1 p.m.
Lawmakers gather for a joint session in the House of Representatives chamber to count Electoral College votes.
1:10 p.m.
Rioters begin grappling with police on the Capitol steps.
1:26 p.m.
Capitol police order evacuation of Library of Congress, Madison Building and Cannon House Office Building on Independence Avenue across from the Capitol.
1:33 p.m.
C-SPAN reports rioters have crossed Statuary Hall, the chamber that separates the House and Senate, heading for the House and Senate.
1:40 p.m.
D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser orders citywide curfew starting at 6 p.m. Wednesday and ending at 6 a.m. Thursday. CNN reports District police are asking for more law enforcement.
1:46 p.m.
Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., tweets she is being evacuated after reports of a pipe bomb outside. “Supporters of the President are trying to force their way into the Capitol and I can hear what sounds like multiple gunshots.”
2:11 p.m.
Rioters breach police lines on the west side of the Capitol.
Moments later, rioters scale the walls.
2:22 p.m.
Reports say Vice President Mike Pence has been escorted out of the Senate chamber.
2:24 p.m.
Trump tweets, “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!”
2:38 p.m.
Trump tweets, “Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!”
2:39 p.m.
Rioters are photographed breaking Capitol windows.
2:44 p.m.
Shots are reported fired in the House chamber.
2:47 p.m.
Huffington Post reporter tweets image of rioters at dais. “They’re in the chamber.”
2:53 p.m.

2:55 p.m.
Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tennessee, texts “shots fired.”
3:03 p.m.
Rioters are photographed on the Senate floor.
3:13 p.m.
Trump tweets: “I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!”
3:34 p.m.
CBS reports a woman is in critical condition after being shot in the neck inside the Capitol. Police later report the woman died. She was identified as Ashli Babbitt, 35, an Air Force veteran. Her husband was quoted as saying she was a strong supporter of Trump.
In an account to WUSA9, a purported witness explains what happened, saying they had stormed the building and she was climbing through the window. He says armed police and Secret Service repeatedly warned to get back, but “she didn’t heed the call,” and then they shot her.
(This is false. There are videos showing Ashli peacefully being escorted by police into the capital and was then shot dead from the man behind the door.)
3:51 p.m.
The District of Columbia National Guard, about 1,100 troops, is mobilized to support local law enforcement.
4:05 p.m.
A congressional correspondent tweets that congressional leaders are being evacuated from the Capitol.
My Timeline
9 a.m.
I arrived to the rally outside the Washington Monument with my family, and watched Don Jr. and Rudy speak. POTUS was scheduled to speak at 11 am. He did not arrive until about 12 pm.
11:50 a.m.
Trump begins speaking. Half way through the speech, he states how we are going to walk down to the capitol to cheer on our congressmen. I remember wondering how there would be time to make a difference as congress was scheduled to count the votes at 1 PM.
1:05 p.m.
After much repetition (as if he were deliberately stalling) Trump finally concluded his speech. Patriots slowly began to walk towards the capitol. (I bought a hotdog along the way for my dogs)
1:30 p.m.
I met a woman in the streets who said she got a text message that 2 busses filled with Antifa dressed as patriots have arrived at the capital. I’m not sure who she got the message from.
2:07 p.m.
A man we meet on the streets screams at us that people have broken through the capitol doors.
2:30 p.m.
I arrive at the capitol. And take a photo of my daughter (time stamp is 2:30 p.m.). There are scattered groups patriots along the capitol taking photos.
A man I met walking away from the capital. He said he got pepper spray in his eyes and warned us to keep our dogs away from the entrance.
In reality, there were probably 200 patriots in the front and another hundred in the back of the capital, and another 100 on each side of the capital. These patriots consisted of teen girls, grandmas, and Chinese migrants waving flags. Occasionally I would hear someone scream “stop the steal!”
Here’s a video I took:
https://www.bitchute.com/video/fdcB4XhcjUOX/
There were dozens of police lined up all along all sides of the capitol. (perhaps 60 in front and back, and another 25 on the two sides). Most were just standing bored. I walked around the capital, without seeing a single scene of a confrontation of patriots with the police.
If there was any real threat the police had by far more than enough manpower to stop it.
I stood around and watched, and finally left at 3:45, totally unaware that there was supposedly a violent national crisis happening right next to me.
According to MSM “83 arrested, 4 dead, 50 DC police officers injured amid pro-Trump riots at the U.S. Capitol”
I never saw a single injured person.
I never saw a single person arrested. Perhaps they were arrested shortly before I arrived?
I do not doubt that woman was killed. I’m just saying there were certainly not fifty police injured. Not a single one injured I’m sure.
So I have a few questions. At 1:30 PM, the videos show police being overpowered by protestors. The videos at 2:30 pm show police opening barriers, and escorting a group of protestors into the capitol. Why? Did the police change their mind and decide to open up the EXACT SAME doors to patriots an hour after they were fighting tooth and nail to keep them out.
Here the cops are opening the barriers:
Someone on the inside of the barrier (a cop?) is inviting them in.
Here you see the cops inside the capital welcoming the patriots. Ashli is the one with the flag on her back.

Here you can see a police is holding the door open for the patriots. (you can also see the door is vandalized from the earlier staged attack)

This second group of patriots includes grandmas, and it looks like they are on a tour guide. Sadly, it is among this group where Ashli E. Babbitt was shot in cold blood. In the videos, you can see she as peaceful as she comes.
According to MSM, the “protestors” began to fight with the police at 1 PM, and were still fighting with them nearly two hours later at 2:45 PM. There were clearly dozens of bored police standing by, why would they not help out in this crisis?
So, here is my speculation of what happened. It was expected Trump would speak at 11 and send the patriots to the capital at 1 PM when congress counted votes. MSM, Antifa, and corrupt members of congress had planned to have incognito Antifa mix in with a group of real patriots and cause violence. Unfortunately, for them, Trump knew this would happen, so he showed up an hour late for his speech, and then spoke for an hour and 15 minutes.
The only ones at the capital at 1 PM were fifty Antifa protestors, MSM, and the corrupt police staging the fight with them for the cameras. This was not the story they wanted. They needed a million patriots to disrupt the vote counting. Also, they needed bloodshed, so stalled on counting the votes, and then had to wait another hour for the real patriots to arrive.
Some Antifa “patriots” were still there breaking windows, but the real patriots quickly stopped them. I believe they were hoping real patriots would follow Antifa into the capital, but instead they were just being boring and taking videos with their phones.
Thus, the police opened the barriers and led the patriots into their ambush. Now many are being identified and fired from their jobs.
We all know that the MSM lies, and our government is corrupt, but I know it is hard for many to believe they would go as far to stage events. But from what you know now about them, why wouldn’t they?
try again
sorry the rest just pooped up
Oh, I had to post it as a comment, or the links wouldn’t work.
“... I know it is hard for many to believe they would go as far to stage events. But from what you know now about them, why wouldn’t they?...”
Well-once the DNC, Congress and the MSM broke every rule in the book and threw the election to Biden... I mean, is there anything worse, anything beneath them or beyond their reach??
Seriously ... that is the functional definition of a coup and there is no way to tap dance around the facts.

interviews are only edited to take out names
Thank you for going.
“sorry the rest just pooped up”
So did my beakfast! LOL
Thank you, MNDude. Interesting timeline.
>>Here is what I saw and how it compares with the official media narrative and released videos.
I will point out that any events (even non-controversial ones) that get covered have little to do with the facts. When you find that you have more knowledge than the press even on basic details, you realize that little in the press bears a resemblence to anything that ever happened.
Thanks for the report.
>>Huffington Post reporter tweets image of rioters at dais. “They’re in the chamber.”
How did the HuffPoo “reporter” get inside? Tresspassing with the others? Lying in wait for their arrival?
I ask because at least one BLM activist is claiming to have been there “as a reporter” but still tresspassed to enter, no?
And it is not uncommon (it is actually kinda common) for photojournalists to instigate riots to be able to take photos.
There was a Communist reporter in Florida who threw rocks at police during a protest about Ellian being removed from his relatives’ home/arms at gunpoint.
That same reporter was in the Church of the Nativity when Islamists held people captive and vandalized the interior.
This interview with the former Capitol police chief is almost comical. He talks about how the building was viciously attacked, then they show video clips of people just basicly standing around and chanting.
Seems like they wanted something to happen. A Capitol police officer says he worked the evening shift before this happened, and was expecting to have to work a double shift, but they sent everyone home on his shift.
Quick Response teams are normally stationed near the Capitol in situations like this, but this time they apparently were not.
The leftist media and their friends are distorting what happened on January 6th. Every effort to share the truth is important.
The NY Post ran an article about a police officer supposedly injured during a pushing match in a doorway. They edited to the video of the event to omit the parts that showed what really happened. I saw the event on an unedited video posted by a leftist streamer.
The young officer is in a doorway, pushing against the crowd when he apparently gets either mace or some other irritant in his eyes, nose and mouth. Whether it is from the other police or the protestors is hard to tell.
He is crying out in pain and immediately the protestors in front of him stop pushing on him and call to police behind him to help instead of using his injury to their advantage. They are pointing at him and encouraging his colleagues to help him. His colleagues acknowledge the notice from the protestors.
So unlike a real fight the protestors took immediate action to assist the suffering police officer. That's a protest, not a riot.
But you would never know that if you watched the deceptively edited video posted by the NY Post.
“A Capitol police officer says he worked the evening shift before this happened, and was expecting to have to work a double shift, but they sent everyone home on his shift.”
Wow! So they just kept the corrupt police on duty.
Several other attendees have mentioned seeing a flare shot into the sky from somewhere near the capitol dome. At least one said it seemed to come from the capitol roof. They wondered at the time if it wasn’t some sort of signal. Did you see or hear of anything like that?
Tuesday night: this video shows a guy saying "we need to go into the capitol" and a bunch of patriots start chanting "FED, FED, FED!
This clip was captured approximately 3 minutes before the initial barriers were ripped down outside the Capitol. Notice the guy they were calling FED is in the upper right portion of this clip.
This video shows the first breakdown. The guy they were calling FED is shown leading with this crowd and a guy on a mega phone screaming lets 1776 this fence. This was between 12:50 and 1:00PM.
NOTE: one minute into the video you can see the officer on the right hand side fall backward and get hurt. As the crowd overwhelms the officer you would think the young man would just run straight on in. Instead, at 1:04 into the video he notices the officer down on the group. The young man and the person who was to his right then go around the barrier and to assist the fallen officer.
This was said to be the first breach. Watching the video clip you can notice the crowd moving down the pathway. Is that smoke in the background straight ahead at the capitol? If so was there an earlier breach?
