JANUARY 6 WAS STAGED TO COVER OTHER CRIMES
Newly released bodycam audio captures Capitol Police describing how to spot non-uniform officers embedded in the crowd:
- “Non-uniform officers will have a candy stripe on the barrel and a wristband.”
- Descriptions of plainclothes officers: short guy, dark hair, black vest, thin blue line, black mask, white male.
J6 was staged to disrupt official proceedings and cover up alleged crimes from the November 3, 2020 election — the “overthrow of the US government.”
FACT!

Since none of the J6ers had guns why bother to look for the cany stripe. If they had a gun they were cops. OTOH, they were there or why look for them?
I await the promised investigation and hearings on Pelosi’s media circus calling itself the J-6 Committee.
It would be nice to see Liz Cheney back in the spotlight, shuffling in chains on her perp-walk.
Whoaaaaaa. On the barrel of what?

No candy stripe.
A candy-stripe. On the…barrel???
Somebody should ask Nancy Pelosi why the Capitol Police had non-uniformed officers there. Maybe double-check her answer against what Sundstrom (? the head of the Capitol Police who was fired the next day and came out saying basically they were set up) says about it.
This is why we haven’t seen the 14,000 hours of videos from the Capitol on J6 promised us by leader Johnson?
In a sane world all of those involved in the J6 entrapment would have served, or continue to serve jail time, lose their voting rights, and be barred from law enforcement of any kind, and from serving in any federal of state government position (primary or support position) - for life.
One of the concerns of the Capital Police BEFORE Jan 6 was that in prior gatherings, undercover agents had been impossible to identify, leading to awkward situations like arresting them.
A stab at making sense of this:
Perhaps the “candy-stripe on firearm barrel” was intended as a somewhat discrete way for Capital Police to tell whether people they detained on suspicion of being armed were covert agents/cops. Presumably, after seeing the candy-stripe, the Cap Po would quickly lose interest/let the detainees go without blowing their cover completely. Putting it on the barrel seems dumb since the firearm would have to be pulled from a holster to see it, but who knows.
“On the barrel” probably means “around the chest or waist.
My first thought when reading the headline was WHAT? DC does not allow open carry, in fact I think they need some kind of legal permission even for hidden carry in DC. So, your explanation makes probably sense.
As to Speaker Johnson and the many J6 hours he promised to release he probably decided “no way Jose” after viewing the first two hours, if they were anything like the 15 or 20+ hours I viewed that that and the next day of network TV and on several hours of line postings from people filming from inside the up front crowd breaking into the Capitol. People were willing to accept the idea that it was OK for our President to release every single one of the people filmed doing something definitely illegal as well as all the others who also did less obvious things which it turns out were also illegal.
I suspect after Johnson watched some of this action he thought that many would no longer agree that blanket pardon was a reasonable action, and raise a major fuss. This would NOT be good for the Republican party. The right action by him as a Republican would be to save the Party, but perhaps his goal was to save the President.
People breaking windows and crawling in through them, crushing a policeman in an entrance who was doing his job, stabbing officers with the sharp ends of flag poles holding the American flag, and spraying with bear spray were obvious violent and illegal acts. People walking in through entrances that they did not see being broken and wandering around inside the building in curiosity were probably not convicted or even tried in a number of cases, but certainly merited pardon if a judicial mistake was made. Now if legal minded Americans were just as eager to see the films Johnson is withholding as they are to see the Epstein Files, I would say there is hope for our country.
Further, a young mother and soldier lost her life after being shot point blank by a capitol police officer who has previous issues with firearms. Most of us have seen video of that, and it in no way appeared to be ‘self-defense’.
My point is that there is at least as much, and possibly much much more evidence of entrapment than there is of criminal activity by the protesters.
However, as I wrote, I am interested in the truth and would accept definitive evidence supporting the embedded law enforcement / contractors stories and the narratives of the left. I haven't seen such evidence, and you would be naive to believe that such evidence would not be leaked by the left if it shows what was implicated in your comments. But if proof of the opposite is provided I will accept it. I would expect the same from the left should their narrative be definitively disproven. That expectation is very often disregarded by the left.
