January 6 as Distraction from Afghanistan, Other Crises
American Greatness ^ | 16 Aug, 2021 | Julie Kelly

How top officials traded the security and stability of Afghanistan, and by extension, America, to instead promote unfounded fears about white domestic terrorists.

hile Taliban forces rapidly overtook territories across Afghanistan earlier this month, Joe Biden held an overdramatic ceremony at the White House to once again perpetuate phony narratives about the events of January 6. Biden, falsely claiming officers died as a result of the Capitol protest, signed legislation passed unanimously by the U.S. Senate to bestow the Congressional Gold Medal to the United States Capitol Police and D.C. Metropolitan Police for their actions that day.

“A mob of extremists and terrorists launched a violent and deadly assault on the people’s house,” Biden said on August 5. “It wasn’t dissent. It wasn’t debate. It wasn’t democracy. It was insurrection. It was riot and mayhem. It was radical and chaotic.”

Ten days later, an actual mob of extremists and terrorists launched an assault to seize the Afghan capital in the most humiliating defeat of American political and military leadership in at least half a century. Biden, reportedly stunned by the success of an actual insurrection on his watch, remained in hiding at Camp David all weekend.

The war in Afghanistan, unlike January 6, has been deadly, costly, and largely futile. Lawmakers of both parties now are asking tough questions about how our exit went so wrong, so quickly. Finger-pointing is happening in all different directions.

The juxtaposition of the two events, however, shows how preposterous the framing of January 6 has been from the start. It also underscores the dangerous consequences of the ruling class’ nonstop fixation on the Capitol protest.

Political, intelligence, law enforcement, and defense leaders have shamefully redirected resources and time from real crises to perpetuate the falsehood that white supremacist domestic terrorists attempted to overthrow “democracy”

They continue to use Jan 6 to distract from election audit data that points to a stolen election.

Think about this for a moment. In order to escape media coverage, even just a bottom-of-the-hour 45 second blurb, about the election audits, they scrum in an office and decide, “Let’s pull out of Afghanistan right now. It’ll throw everyone for a loop, and they’ll likely cover the takeover which will push the election audits out of the news cycle!”

This might seem non-sensical or even insane, but the fact that it could even be entertained with this administration is worthy of contemplation.

I’m sure the FBI will get one of their stooges to blow up something very soon.

Our incompetent but buttered up fools running the military were spending more time reading Marx and preening for parties with political ‘elites’ than doing their job...

The ‘domestic terrorists’ BS was a subconscious fear people in the country knew they were phonies not up to the jobs they were doing. Conservatives weren’t a threat to the country - they were a threat to exposing our corrupt ‘elites’ for what there were...

It’s been used to distract from everything.. Who ever thought of the idea didn’t realize how brilliant (evil) it actually is.

And the stooges at the FBI? Same thing. Their concern is protecting the big fat overpaid egos of ‘elites’ in DC - NOT protecting the country.

"America, to instead promote unfounded fears about white domestic terrorists."

The DC Democrats are right about their fear of the American people.. There's a whole lot of us and we're hoping and praying everyday that someday we'll get to hang a BUNCH of the DC lawyers (Politicians) for treason and sedition.. :(

My biggest fear:

1) The Biden Administration thought it had a deal with the Taliban for a peaceful exit from Afghanistan by Sept 11th.

2) Somebody prodded the Taliban to make an early push against the Afghan house-of-cards.

3) Xi’s China is getting froggy.

Do you suppose China may have suggested to the Taliban that it might be valuable to create a strategic distraction for the US military while China makes its move?

We will see if China makes that move now. But I’m a little skeptical that the Taliban needed prodding from foreigners. The opening was there, they saw it, and they took it.

Only time will tell, but China could very easily overtake any small entity in that area without pushback. The US is a paper tiger at this time.
