I don't really know who the 3 percenters are, but I can say with confidence that the Oath Keepers are not, in any way, shape or form, 'anti-government'
I am reminded of a famous quip to the effect: “Every word uttered by Newsweek is a lie, including “the” and “a”.”
Were these the old-fashion kind of wire twists used on loaves of sliced bread in the last century, or high-capacity assault zip ties?

I’ll say again... in the current climate, anyone who entered those baracades and you are not BLM or Antifa, were stupid individuals... STUPID!!! would be a whole lot better if all who went in could be tied to the left...

The attack on free expression:
Just as we warned last week, union-backed politicians in California and across the country are exploiting the Capitol riots to try to quash free speech. This week, former union leader, and current California Democratic Party chair, Rusty Hicks repeatedly called the (lower-case “d”) democratic effort to recall Gov. Gavin Newsom “a coup.”
He claimed, “This recall effort, which really ought to be called the California coup, is led by right-wing conspiracy theorists, white nationalists, anti-vaxxers, and groups who encourage violence on our democratic institutions.”
Social media has recently purged the accounts of countless conservatives. Google and Apple banned Parler from their app stores, then Amazon pulled its hosting, banished it from the internet altogether. The moves have been widely celebrated by the mainstream media, which, ironically, seem to be among today’s worst defenders of free speech.
This week, a Twitter employee leaked audio of CEO Jack Dorsey saying this clampdown is only the beginning. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suggested creating a federal commission (a Ministry of Truth?) to “rein in our media environment so that you can’t just spew disinformation and misinformation.”
A new legislative effort in California seeks to create Patriot Act-style agencies, ostensibly to root out right-wing extremism. But government grows—that’s an iron law of political science–and Californians rightly wonder how long before such laws will target people like us, men and women who reasonably dissent in the face of policy failures.
For years, progressives have been trying to quash opposition by suggesting that conservatives are “racist.” Now they’re leveling up by calling conservatives “dangerous” and “extremist” to shut down debate — in some cases literally. Doing so allows them to Zamboni the ice to more easily slide their agenda forward.
The clampdown: On the latest episode of National Review’s RadioFree California, CPC President Will Swaim and board member David Bahnsen consider California reactions to the pro-Trump mayhem at the U.S. Capitol, including Trump-free Facebook and Twitter, the electronic shutdown of a nonpartisan policy conference in Sacramento, new legislation to recreate a California Patriot Act, and the California Democratic Party’s attempt to label the Recall Newsom campaign a “California coup.”

Are zip ties now under ATF jurisdiction and need to be registered?
The article said five people were killed in the capital. This is simply not true. Five people died at the capital, but only one was killed. Her name was Ashli Babbit, and she was killed by a capital policeman who may have had some of the FlexCuffs on his person. Then again he may have dropped his in all the excitement of murdering an unarmed woman that posed absolutely no threat to him.
Why can’t prosecutors believe he “found them on the floor”?
Wasn’t that a BELIEVED excuse used by the ILLEGAL ALIEN who shot Katie Steinle?
I recall José Inez García Zárate said he “found the gun, picked it up and it went off” striking and killing Steinle.
And that defense was lapped up by the idiots in CA.
