It’s possible that Trump supporters fell into a trap on January 6
American Thinker ^ | February 19, 2021 | Andrea Widburg

Pelosi has turned Washington, D.C. into an armed, walled city and is working with the White House to crack down on dissenting views – meaning, any views that run counter to the Democrat party narrative. There’s something weirdly un-American about what we’re seeing now.

...

D’Souza points out something we’ve all noticed, which is that, on January 6, many of the people peacefully walked and gawked through the Capitol after having been invited in – and treated respectfully – by the relatively small number of Capitol police officers on duty. If you’ve ever visited the Capitol in the past, you know that’s not how it ordinarily works.

Even stranger is the fact that Capitol police officers, who expected to be pulling extra duty, given that everyone knew large numbers of Trump supporters would be flooding D.C., were instead sent home for the day. Additionally, D’Souza points out, when Trump offered 10,000 National Guard troops to help out because the rally was in town, both those in charge of the Capitol and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser rebuffed the offer. As Speaker of the House, it’s inconceivable that Pelosi wasn’t part of this decision.

...

We also know from the WaPo, of all places, that the FBI had advance warning that various radical groups were planning to attack the Capitol. And yet, no one did anything. It’s inconceivable that they kept this information to themselves.

...

Democrats are using January 6 to silence any political opposition.

...

In case you’re wondering, this is how totalitarian dictatorships operate. Free speech is out; increasingly brutal suppression is in.

And speaking of increasing brutality, there’s the fact that the Democrats have used the events of January 7 to turn Washington, D.C., into a security fortress of the type any tyrant would love.

Patrick Byrne and Mike Flynn were both aware of intentional plans to bait Trump protestors but the real initiative was bringing in ANTIFA / BLM to start the assault on the Capitol.

Who paid for vans to bring them in? Those vans were reported on day one.

Did Pelosi help with that, and then intentionally pull the police?

We all know the answer.

Remember - whatever the Rats are accusing you of, that’s what they are doing.

And the stick figure Loeffler rolled in minutes after pretending to be hardline pro-Trump.

Mitch can really pick ‘em, huh?

Our side did not fall for anything. We were out-gunned by big media in the war of words and spin. The answer is not to give up activists measures and just sit on our hands. Instead we need more activism, more PR, grow our own media, and stay ready for ARMED assemblies.

You are correct. That is the way I see it. If we had an equal level of media, the Jan 6 Protest would have been shown as an exuberant expresson of democracy and free speech in action.

The protest was far more peaceful than most of the BLM/Antifa protests for the previous year.

While watching the videos, look at the expressions on the faces of the Capitol police: they are opening the way for the "Trump demonstrators" but against their will. You can see that they are complying with orders, but they don't like it.

Unmentioned in the article is the spearhead of young, unusual "Trump" people that have bullhorns and the tools to break windows and urge people into the building. They are also the ones who wrecked offices and urged Ashli forward through the window they had just broken.

People don't understand how organized and evil the Left really is.

This was indeed a set up created by the rat party. Here’s why. Think of the timing. Both the Senate and the House in the process of challenging the vote. They had a world wide open opportunity to show that six states violated their own state laws.

It was all being exposed. Every TV station was watching . Trump was about to be vindicated....... He’d won. .

At that exact moment when Republicans were exposing the fraud, that’s when antifa attacked and shut down the process. Hours later, when Congress continued, no one was interested in discussing the election fraud.

The rat party used Trump’s rally as a final way to silence everyone from talking about election fraud . They planned it and executed it masterfully . Hell they even milked a second impeachment our if it

Trump is finished! While millions of voters were rejoicing over BiteMe’s victory, he showed he didn’t CARE about them. He didn’t CARE about the members of Congress who were laboring in the capitol building on behalf of the people. Such obtuseness as to the OPTICS of holding that rally. None of those offended Americans will vote for him in 2024, or care about who he endorses in 2022. What a screw up. If only he had consulted a team of leftist virtue signalers first.

Trump and many other people were set up that day. What isn’t being acknowledged is that, set up or not, the massive turnout demonstrated that change is quite possible. Real change. The Left is lucky that things were as restrained as they were.

Andrea Widburg makes things up. There’s no point thinking about an article wherein none of the facts are really facts. She is best ignored completely.

A giant question is who talked Trump into having this rally? It made absolutely no sense, except after the fact it became clear what it’s objective was. Pence was side by side with Trump for 4 years and we are supposed to believe that Trump didn’t know for certain what Pence was going to do concerning the election? Again, exactly what was the objective of this rally? The only thing that makes sense is that Trump and us were set up from go with the plan being the alleged insurrection exactly how it played out and will continue to play out courtesy of the media propaganda machine. I hope Trump has asked himself this question. Who came to him with this idea in the first place?

There were stories beforehand warning that antifa was going to infiltrate the gathering and cause trouble.

Mr Kitty and I were going to go to DC on January 6th, but he was listening to a lot of chatter online and decided it wasn’t going to be a good plea to be.

I was there and it was a great place to be. Really a fun day, though a little chilly. My group did not go to the Capitol.

The problem with this assessment, with which I agree BTW, is the same as with the stolen election incident. If you own the town cop (DOJ), the town crier (media), and the town judge (courts) you can set the agenda without fail. The only thing that the democrats (and deep state) don’t own is the will of the American people, with a 2nd Amendment in their pocket, wanting to live freely in a just society.

I think that is called normalcy bias.

It was staged by Antifa from top to bottom including the fake killing of Babbitt.

Yeah, well when the hell is that???

I’ve had enough and it’s awful lonely here. So much so that some of my public statements could be used against me for DT charges and destroy my life, and no one would raise a finger other than to posit outrage here or on SM...

I can’t remember who it was but I was watching Crowder and he was interviewing someone that was in charge of helping with the rally. He had helped with them before and he said there was for sure instigators there but there was also mostly Trump supporters that was fighting with cops and doing damage. He went to leave to lead the people to the Capitol and there was 200,000 people already in front of him and it started before he got there. They put him up high with a bull horn to try to get them to stop. But it was so frantic by them it did no good. I think there was people planted to get them started. There are extremists that went to far but I think they were set up. Trump offered 10,000 troops to help and he was told no. The cops were opening the barriers. They were out matched. This is what the dems wanted.

Of course it is planned. Now they are trying to figure out to get their hands on the Texas power grid, which is the only one not run by the Feds. Mark my words, Biden will offer them disaster relief in exchange for giving up control. That is how it is done in Washington.

It was CLEARLY a false flag, as the leader of the part that did get violent, John Sullivan, is a known Antifa leader.

...so now what?
