Will J6 Be Remembered More Like the Boston Massacre?
American Thinker ^ | 16 Apr, 2022 | J.B. Shurk

Posted on 04/16/2022 4:21:04 AM PDT by MtnClimber

I don't think Washington, D.C.'s J6 propaganda will succeed.

I get so ticked off whenever our contemptible congresscritters or their praetorian propagandists in the press call J6 an "insurrection." Did the world really witness a bunch of rowdy Americans try to overthrow the U.S. government on January 6, 2021? Would some of the country's strongest defenders of the right to bear arms really show up for battle bearing none? Did anybody in that crowd — many of whom were retirees welcomed into the Capitol Building by Capitol Police — actually believe that an "insurrection" was taking place? The answer to all three questions is a demonstrable, "No!" But to a federal government addicted to lying about absolutely anything, the "violent attack" on the Capitol was every bit as bad as 9/11, Pearl Harbor, and the Civil War. I don't know what's worse — that our government engages in such blatant propaganda against its citizens or that it can no longer be shamed into retracting its propaganda once its lies get called out.

Words matter. They set verbal place markers for the important events through our history, and I do not like this new linguistic gauntlet being cavalierly thrown down by our government. If an unarmed group of patriotic tourists waving American flags constitutes an "insurrection," then nearly any kind of rollicking assembly of citizen protesters can be deemed an "insurrection." If free speech, public assembly, and petitioning government authorities for redress of grievances become "treasonous" whenever those same authorities feel disrespected or threatened, then most all political speech and passionate assembly (directed against the government) become acts of "rebellion." And if anything can be so easily deemed "rebellion," then the federal government burns all the middle ground between peaceful resistance and forceful revolution.

On the Jan. 6 “Democrats Wallow in Victimhood Day,” Kamala know-nothing stupidly equated J6 w/ 911 and Pearl Harbor.

Kamala Harris and the Dem hit squads have spent the last 30 years attacking the United States as racist, oppressive, homophobic, xenophobic, etc.......decrying it’s formation by “evil religious white men to oppress anyone who was unwhite.”

But on Jan 6, she, and the Party of Never Miss a Political Opportunity, suddenly “saw the light.”

The knee-jerkers crassly played the “give a damn card.”

Harris: “What the extremists who roamed these halls sought to degrade and destroy was not only a building, hallowed as it is,......they were assaulting the institutions, the values, the ideals that generations of Americans have shed blood to establish and defend.”

Too bad they don’t govern as if they believed all that.

It was chaotic and disorganized. Like a family vacation. Or a senior class trip. So I guess that’s how it will be remembered.

It won’t be remembered at all. Much like the dual impeachments, it’s a hoax that only about 3% of Americans think is legit and care about it at all. Once the GOP slaughters the left in November and shuts this nonsense down , it will be lost in the trash bin of fake news forever.

The most disgusting thing about January 6 is the silence and inaction of those politicians who claim to be on our side and are in a position to call out and possibly stop the persecution of the protestors.

“I don’t know what’s worse — that our government engages in such blatant propaganda against its citizens or that it can no longer be shamed into retracting its propaganda once its lies get called out.”

Both are equally despicable. As more of us have turned away from God, the fact that these two things are occurring is not surprising in the least.

The way the J6 group is being treated by TPTB, you would think it was 1776 all over again and they had signed a document that pledged “our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor” in order to throw off tyrannical powers. I don’t think that any of the J6 group had even an inkling of such costs to their actions.

I know that polling has shown that a majority of independents believe that January 6 has been overblown. The Dems' twisted narrative failed to.ck Vince the American people, and now amounts just to preaching to the choir.

I hope is aftermath will be remembered more like the German judicial system of the early 1940s.

The victors write the history.

Liberals are years ahead of us so it will take a long, hard, concerted effort to wrest the country back from them.

And from the RINOs.
