As the nation limps out of the COVID-19 pandemic, many Americans assume that we are also leaving behind the serious -- and in some cases, shocking -- power grabs that government leaders insisted were necessary to "defeat the virus."
The headlines suggest otherwise. A number of trends have emerged, the confluence of which should concern all Americans who love this country and value their freedom.
First and foremost is the obsession with characterizing the Jan. 6 riot in the Capitol as an "insurrection." Like so much else the American public has been told in recent years, this is a "narrative" -- wrapped in secrecy and sold with a heaping helping of propaganda, hyperbole and flat-out lies -- which falls apart as the truth slowly leaks out. While unruly and disruptive, Jan. 6 was no attempt to overthrow the federal government. Hundreds of protesters were let into the Capitol building by the U.S. Capitol Police; no one was carrying a firearm of any sort. USCP Officer Brian Sicknick was not killed by chemical spray or a blow to the head from a fire extinguisher, but died of a stroke. In fact, the only person killed on January 6 was Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed protester shot by a USCP officer who will not stand trial and whose name has never been released to the public. Perhaps most disturbing, Revolver News has raised pointed and unanswered questions about the FBI's possible role in January 6.
It is vital to understand that the "insurrection" obsession is itself grounded in another claim of far more serious import: that there was no fraud in the Nov. 2020 election, and that Joe Biden won the presidency "fair and square." While this is certainly possible (if unprecedented, given Trump's increased support in 2020 and every historical benchmark from previous presidential elections), the still-inexplicable simultaneous vote count stoppages in multiple battleground states, coupled with millions of unverified mailed-in ballots and massive middle-of-the-night vote dumps for Biden, raised legitimate suspicions that Americans deserve to have addressed.
And then, there is the Democrats' abject terror of forensic vote audits in battleground states like Arizona (or any states, for that matter). This terror manifests itself as: insisting that mailed-in votes have somehow already been audited (they haven't); suing to block the audit; demonizing every government official or concerned voter calling for an audit as a "Trump voter" - and, therefore, a QAnon nutcase at best or a "domestic violent extremist" at worst; and threatening states conducting audits or implementing election integrity legislation, as Attorney General Merrick Garland has done with the states of Arizona and Georgia.
This is not how a government acts when it is confident in its victory.
As anyone in government should know, an audit not only verifies facts that have been reported, but also the procedure by which those reported facts were obtained. It is odd, to say the least, that the same institution whose various agencies (IRS, SEC, EPA) audit individuals and entities regularly is now telling us that asking for an audit of election results is not only unnecessary and unpatriotic, but somehow a signal of bad faith and questionable -- if not criminal -- intent.
Jan. 6 is also behind President Biden's recent announcement that "white supremacists" represent the single biggest threat of violence within the United States. Even for an administration that plays as fast and loose with the truth as this one does, that's a whopper; one weekend in Chicago would disprove it. Attorney General Garland also pointed to Jan. 6 in his announcement of the administration's new plan to confront domestic terrorism, lumping Trump voters in with "white supremacists" and "militia groups."
The government's dangerous ability to spew unadulterated lies 24/7 was not created by the pandemic, but was certainly enhanced by it. The government has been exposed in one lie after another related to COVID-19, from its possible origin in a Chinese virology lab, to pharmaceutical interventions and treatments for it. At every turn, the government's lies have been disseminated by a compliant and unquestioning TV and broadcast news media, and anyone attempting to get accurate information out to the public has been silenced and banned by social media companies acting as the government's de facto censors.

Manipulated by the government to help start some show trials and get Americans used to it?
jan 6th demonstrated that the DNC and Pelosi
and the Capitol Police could execute anyone,
even a woman veteran, at their WHIM,
and the shooters name (KNOWN EVERYWHERE) would
remain hidden, while the non-violent and conservatives
were locked up, with they tyrants
waiting for their shiny new CCP-Comey-Pelosi-FIB-FEMA
Guillotines to begin.
In common law there is the right to "an equitable accounting" which arises whenever there is "1) a confidential or fiduciary relationship, or 2) extensive or complicated transactions."
So conducting an audit of an election, which is both of these things, is a right of the citizens, not a violation of someone's rights.
Main question is,why was there inadequate security at the Capitol that day when ALL officials were pre warned of large crowds and possible agitators coming for President Trumps rally?
This was a setup,plain and simple,police were waving people INTO the Capitol! They were then filmed and have now had the entire intelligence apparatus deployed across the country to harass and arrest people,put them on terrorist lists for travel.
This is outrageous at the very least
Double excerpt?
“This is outrageous at the very least.”
Much has been outrageous: 9/11, Obama, ObamaCare, HRC & Benghazi, LGBTQ mania, Pelosi & Schumer, open borders, Trump impeachment witch hunt, RINOs, BLM & Antifa, CDC & Covidiocy, social media censorship, stolen election, energy killing, vaccine mania...
Where is our outrage?
I dearly hope that Trump realizes whoever talked him into having that rally and whoever wrote the speech saying that they were going to the Capitol, that person or persons, is working for the other side.
...or worse.
*yawn* some wack jobs in silly hats took some selfies in the capital and alarmed some “sensitive” types in the capital enough that they had one of their security murder an unarmed girl.
When your main purpose is to be “first”, there is no time for proofing.
While I do appreciate that FReepers post these threads, the sloppiness that goes along with this competition is quite tiresome.
Believe me I hate when that happens. I never had that problem with my old computer which I had for many years, but this one is a POS and I regret having ever bought. But it was the only one I was able to afford. Also the keyboard that I have now is not like my old one, and has a lot to be desired
Or this one
Jan. 6 is also behind President Biden’s recent announcement that “white supremacists” represent the single biggest threat of violence within the United States.
Anyone that believes that will believe anything lemmings fall in line.
We all know the details of this Reichstag and the DNC/NeverTrumpers being the most infuriating culprits but what is also just as infuriating is the absolute SILENCE of the GOP! Spit!!!!!
I was going to post a comment on how 1/6 was just a lame attempt at recreating the Reichstag Fire. Glad you saw this too.
The Nazis used the Reichstag to further their agendas..
Expect nothing less from their counterparts of today, the DemonicRat Party.
I have asked the same question?
We dont burn down cities,police stations,private businesses,can’t comment on social media,our reps huff and puff, but do nothing!
