I Saw Provocateurs At The Capitol Riot On Jan. 6
Federalist ^ | January 14,2020 | Michael Waller

The deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol bore the markings of an organized operation planned well in advance of the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress.

A small number of cadre appeared to use the cover of a huge rally to stage its attack. Before it began, I saw from my vantage point on the West Front of the Capitol what appeared to be four separate cells or units:

Plainclothes militants. Militant, aggressive men in Donald Trump and MAGA gear at a front police line at the base of the temporary presidential inaugural platform;

Agents-provocateurs. Scattered groups of men exhorting the marchers to gather closely and tightly toward the center of the outside of the Capitol building and prevent them from leaving;

Fake Trump protesters. A few young men wearing Trump or MAGA hats backwards and who did not fit in with the rest of the crowd in terms of their actions and demeanor, whom I presumed to be Antifa or other leftist agitators; and

Disciplined, uniformed column of attackers. A column of organized, disciplined men, wearing similar but not identical camouflage uniforms and black gear, some with helmets and GoPro cameras or wearing subdued Punisher skull patches.

This is also what I saw. I pulled some back from going over the retaining wall. Some jackass on a scaffolding yelling for the crowd to move forward sounded like an attempt to make the crowd into a battering ram. I will also mention that, after being down in that shoulder to shoulder pre-trample session down by the ellipse, I was not anxious to get in a sheep-in-the-pen situation that some found themselves at inside the Capitol.

There are photos of the provocateur with the horns in other photos elsewhere holding a “Q sent me” sign. This was very carefully planned. I didn’t watch 100 percent of the impeachment vote but I didn’t see much emphasis put on this. There should be a lot of emphasis on this.

The Democrat Socialist version of the “Reichstag fire”, which curiously, occurred just about the time Adolf Hitler was consolidating his power as Chancellor of Germany.

“False flag” has become synonymous with “Reichstag fire”.

Some had helmets and GoPro cameras. Some uniforms bore subdued insignia, including the Punisher skull. These were the disciplined, uniformed column of attackers. I had seen them in groups of two or three among the marchers on Connecticut Avenue from the Ellipse.

Now there were a good three dozen of them, moving in a single, snakelike formation. They were organized. They were disciplined. They were prepared.

“We’re taking the Capitol!” the first or second announced.

“You’re gonna get arrested,” someone called out.

“They can arrest some of us, but not all of us,” another member of the uniformed contingent shouted to no one in particular.

A few curious younger people left their friends to follow them as the group disappeared under the scaffolding beneath the Rotunda entrance.

Wonder who these guys were. Also wonder who were the guys standing on chairs barking orders at the crowd to move forward and "don't dare retreat."

And wondering why none of these provocateurs have been identified.

This is all overblown bullshit.

1, maybe 2 were killed, not 5. Someone dying in a crowd because they get squished (unintentional) or from pre-existing medical conditions hardly constitutes deaths from a “deadly violent riot.”

How much was really looted, practically nothing.

How much was destroyed or desecrated, as in with graffiti etc? Practically nothing.

How much was burnt? Nothing.

The media keeps showing the same pictures of the same windows that were broken and if you care look at that crowd, many were stopping and taking selfies once in the capital building, actually respecting the value of the artifacts and building itself.

***This is “false outrage” by people that are fake leaders.***

Was it right? No.

Did it help their cause? No.

But was it the huge deal some politicians and the media wants to blow this up into? No.

People were waiting for this, they were excited, they were happy when this happened. They already had a plan for how they would react, what they would say, what they would delete, ban, block, and their next political move.

BTW, capital buildings across the nation have been stormed by angry mobs before. BLM and ANTIFA did desecrate national monuments, did seize federal buildings, did loot, did set fires, did damage federal property, and 5 cops were killed in the first week of clashes which lasted months and where some politicians (today with a lot of outrage) went on the record in support of these crowds.

The left always wins because they are willing to go further and sacrifice more. Their leaders (if you want to call them that) will stand by their cause while on the right they will throw their own under the bus in a second because someone isn’t Christian enough, or they broke a law, or they were violent, or this or that. The right eats their own or sells out quickly.

All of this “threat talk” between now and the 20th is nonsense. However, when absolutely nothing happens, “gubbermint” will give itself credit for having prevented it all. LOL

The Reichstag fire created a frenzy against the Communists. Fear was the main goal thus allowing Goering, Goebbels and Hitler to create a narrative against the enemy that allowed the state to crack down.
AOC’s tale of fear reminded me of that.
