It may be weeks before we fully understand the fallout from the January 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol building. The prevailing consensus from conservative talk radio hosts and editors is that this event provided ammunition to Trump’s enemies and gave squishy Republicans an excuse to abandon their objections to the certification of Biden’s electors. They may be true, but based on what I saw experienced first-hand, I am conflicted on what to say about those who entered the building.
According to the website “wildprotest.com,” the original plan was to gather at the Whitehouse Ellipse from 9am to 12pm, then gather at the North lawn of the Capitol building at 1 pm. As you may well know, not only did it not happen this way, but the aforementioned website went blank. Did they take it down to make it harder for Trump supporters to show that storming the building was never part of the initial plan?
My group boarded a D.C. Metro train at 10:30am. Upon arrival to the next station, I saw three young white men board the train with dark clothes and skeleton face masks. My immediate concern was that these were Antifa thugs who would give us trouble as soon as they saw us get off the train with our signs. As I watched them from the corner of my eye, I noticed that one of them wore a cape with the American Revolution snake “Join or die.” Were these Trump supporters? Something did not seem quite right. As the train approached our destination, other rally participants started to fill our coach and we arrived at the Ellipse with no incident.
The participants at the Ellipse were for the most part in good spirits and remarkably friendly,

To my great surprise, young people started to climb the stairs of the Capitol stairs and the inauguration bleachers flanking each side of the stairs. Since I was far behind the crowd, it was not clear to me whether or not they had pushed through police barricades in order to get there, but as I neared the building, I saw what appeared to be metal barricades that had been pushed aside as we neared the building.
When we arrived at the Capitol steps, we saw a young man with a bullhorn on top of the highest scaffolding urging participants to move forward. Soon we heard what sounded like ceremonial cannon fire and saw smoke and I smelled tear gas.
I was not aware that anyone had entered the building until someone with an iPhone told me gleefully that Congress had evacuated the chambers and that the vote was delayed. I was shocked, and wondered if she had a point in celebrating what happened.
Up to that moment, I had not witnessed any of the violence involved in pushing through the barricades or entering the building. The only destruction of property I witnessed first-hand was the alleged Antifa infiltrator breaking a window, only to be forcibly pulled away by Trump supporters. Suddenly the three young men I saw earlier on the train with scary masks in front (but pro-America symbols on their backs) made sense to me, as did widespread smell of marijuana.
Around 4 PM I started to leave. As I walked away from the crowd at the Capitol an elderly man asked me my opinion what had just transpired. I told him that I heard the vote had been delayed, but remained undecided as to whether or not this was a good thing. He then proceeded to tell me that a young lady was shot dead while entering the Capitol building and lamented that “God did not want it to happen this way.”
Based on what I saw and read, I have no doubt that dozens and possibly even hundreds of Antifa and/or other provocateurs had infiltrated the rally in order to carry out violent acts and suck impressionable Trump supporters into their antics. None of this violence was justified, but contrast the frustration and conflicted attitude of this Capitol building trespasser with that of the proud of this BLM rioter. One calls for prayer while the other calls for “reparations.”

Sadly, as we’ve just witnessed, Mark Twain was spot on with his comment of “No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot.”. In the current state of affairs, any evidence presented won’t even be considered and dismissed out of hand.
Of course it was planned.
That is as obvious as the election fraud having been planned.
And the unison of ‘throw him out’ cries are just another part of it.
What is worrisome is the idea that patriots would mob, loot and kill. There is nothing worrisome about discovering evidence that it was leftist agitators who did this.
Jan 6 2021 on Capitol Hill was the modern American version of a Reichstag Fire
Ironic, given who it was planned to benefit and the names they have been hurling at us

The Left continues with their endless projection.
CONSPIRACY THEORY!!!!! CONSPIRACY THEORY!!!
/sarc
Chairman Pelosi had her Death Squad Capital Police perform an flawless ambush of a patriot before a live audience, just like Robert LaVoy Finicum from the Malheur protest.
They manufactured an election...they can manufacture outrage. It was bound to be manufactured sooner or later.

Very well then, I want Pence the snake to be in the FBI most wanted list because he instigated and triggered this riot by denying a fair accountability of what he was appointed to do when his time came to balance the scales of justice. And he failed!
“The main difference that struck me as unusual during this rally (apart from the three young men who boarded the train) was the frequent smell of marijuana.”
Second time I’ve seen someone say that.
Are we supposed to be surprised???
If, iirc, the Reichstag Fire, had SOME destruction?
Just wondering iirc???
jmho, it was nowhere near comparison.
The fbi? LOLOLOLOLOLOL! Are you series? Besides, pence is now on their side in full.
We need to identify and dox those people. And patriots need to pay them a visit. It’s come to that point, they think we’re going to be Venezuela, but it’s actually going to be more like Argentina.
I was at the event in Washington D.C, our rag tag group spread out, and they said the same thing. That the whole thing was a set up, a photo op created by the Main Strem Media, and suckered in a few people and had it all ready to go LIVE... it was planned. My daughter in law got pepper sprayed, where we went to church to each one exchange experiences and what we saw...said the same thing. IT was staged.
