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,

You know, it dawned on me on day 2 this was a set-up by bad actors. Could this be what Haspel, Nancy, and Mitch had come to an agreement about? Helpful Fibbies, CIA, capitol police, et al had plotted this out from the day President Trump invited supporters to come to Washington on Jan 6. The wheels were set in motion. What role did Acting Director Chris Miller play? Why did he practically tear up giving a speech recently thanking Pence for the most complex most military operation this country has ever conducted? What military operation????
We were watching the proceedings and nanzi was at the lectern then suddenly vanished shortly before the breach. Kind of like someone said it’s time, they’ll be arriving soon, as scheduled. Or she was going to change her depends. Butt “Trump insurrectionists”.
A plan to discredit Trump supporters!?! Nobody thought of THAT before.
Absolutely. The left made this obvious so they can ultimately use Antifa to implement gun confiscation. They have allowed the mostly white Antifa to riot and generally be out of control, while infiltrating them. Now that they have stolen the election, they Antifa becomes a direct threat to them as well. Democrats will “all of a sudden” recognize Antifa as a “white nationalist” group, though they truly anarchists. They will be the first to go, along with well coordinated revelations by the media that Antifa was a national threat all along. That will be a springboard to gun restrictions and confiscation. Just a theory...
You summed it up, entirely.! +1
Well apparently they’ve got some pinups of the faces of those that stormed the capital that the FBI is looking for so Pence the Snake needs his pic 🐍 on that list too! NO and I ain’t kidding either!
Little behind there. We thought that immediately. Why we were tossing around Reichstag Fire comparisons.
Disregarding the term “ fire” that was a classic false flag with a long term underlying goal
It was intended to drive up public outrage against an attack on the elected govt and gain public sympathy for the newly installed nazis. making the “ communist” resistance look like nuts who could be demonized for attacking an institution
Rather relevant comparison, imo
A Trump rally attracts young men with riot shields?
Very doubtful.
I read another account by a young man who partially witnessed the shooting.
He and a group walked up to a locked door on the rear side of the Capitol.
One them rang the intercom, asked to be let in, and the door buzzed open.
In the middle of a riot, they buzzed open an exterior door?
If true, that sounds like collusion.
Thanks.
Comparison ok.
You do not happen to be or was a Rev?
Knew a Rev Silverleaf back in the ‘olden days’ in Texas.
Aye, that's the key. I watched hours of video showing thousands of people peacefully gathered on the Mall, exercising their First Amendment right to do just that. I'd say the average age was maybe 35 or more. If I saw a youth, he/she was usually with their parents. It was like every republican rally I've ever seen or participated in. No surprise.
Contrast that with this video of the initial breach, as posted by @ElijahSchaffer on Twitter: link. This was a very different set of actors. Some approached the barrier with their hands raised in the air. One even had pink gloves as if to draw attention to his actions. Does "hands up, don't shoot" ring a bell? Another very small person had a skateboard, a known antifa tactic.
Now watch the yout who was one of the first to breach. Look at how he first tried to pull the barricade. Then he strips off his sweatshirt revealing a black shirt and reverses his MAGA hat. An older gent in fatigues pulls him back and speaks to him up close and personal. (0:45) Note there is another yout with a green helmet to his left (0:48). I did not see fatigue guy moving forward with the crowd. Who was he and what was his role?
The youts then get wise and instead of pulling the barrier, they push and gain ground. At 1:02 an officer on the right end goes down. One of the crowd goes to his aid as does two LEO racing down the steps.
One cop races to the barricade and starts throwing punches. Do they teach that at the police academy? He was the most aggressive of the bunch.
At this point, too many have streamed by and the cops fall back. Now I'd think they were the first line of defense, made the wise choice to disengage and let the next line of defense do their thing.
To me, this small group of questionable actors accomplished their mission. The cork was popped and, as the author points out, the rest of the crowd fell into the trap and just streamed in, seeing that the path was opened.
bttt
Yes, and the timing being SO exact as to when the Arizona objection was being voiced, was exactly when the “rioters” got into the building and threatened the poor congress people and senators. There is NO WAY that this was NOT planned in advance, and carried out by bad actors who have no relationship to supporting POTUS.
But the media will NEVER EVER EVER even look into whether something could be amiss about their narrative.
How about Chile?
Later.
The truth of the infiltration will be suppressed in our CHYna media.
Charlottesville Redux
Alas, I know it was a breach, all of you know it was a breach set up by the left but unless people have alternative ways of getting correct information they will carry the story ad nauseum day in and day out. I just hope there’s not that many depending on these media outlets that are in bed with the Demons.
FWIW; I was “on scene” in DC- AND had looked at the website “Stop The Steal” numerous times, as well as linking to it in a few posts here at FR, noting specifically for my own benefit, directions to the planned gathering location on the north side of the Capitol bldg.
To my surprise upon reaching the Capitol bldg., after marching there from the Ellipse, the crowd had assembled entirely on the lawn of the east side of the building.
What I failed to notice or comprehend is that there was zero infrastructure set up, like what had been constructed at the Freedom Plaza rally, for the speakers.
The website is scrubbed now. Unreal / bizarre.
No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot
The courts and the media have proved it to be true.
