Jan. 6 Defendant: ‘They Want You Scared’
PJ Media ^ | September 12, 2023 | Robert Spencer

The left has to have scapegoats to prop up its sagging Jan. 6 “insurrection” narrative, and so Joe Biggs of the Proud Boys has just been given seventeen years in prison for his actions on that fateful day, which involved nothing more than tearing down a fence. If one guy removing a single barrier can bring the government of a superpower perilously close to being overthrown, we’re in bigger trouble than we thought. Biggs would be the first to tell you that we are, but not in the way that the leftist elites want us to think.

The Post Millennial reported Wednesday that Biggs explained the objective behind his sentence, which Judge Timothy Kelly made harsher because of the circumstances: the fence he tore down “separated law enforcement personnel from the protesters … on Capitol grounds that day,” and so Kelly “ruled that Biggs was subject to heavier sentencing consequences for domestic terrorism.”

This is ridiculous on its face. 9/11 — that was terrorism. The Fort Hood jihad massacre — that was terrorism. The Boston Marathon bombing? Terrorism. Some people getting let into the Capitol and snapping some selfies? Not terrorism.

According to Biggs, the agenda behind the left’s fabricated Jan. 6 hysteria is not just to destroy Trump and sideline him for 2024, but something far more sweeping and insidious.

“They want you scared,” Biggs said, referring to ordinary law-abiding American citizens who oppose the Biden regime and everything it stands for. Biggs told Alex Jones “that the case against him and others involved in the Jan. 6 riot was politically motivated.” When he was convicted, Biggs said, “my heart hurt.” He explained, “They want to send a message to Americans that if you go to these events, if you are part of a political group, they’re going to...”

The justice system has broken down, it is no longer about the rule of law. It’s just a matter of time before they come for someone who would rather shoot it out than face a kangaroo court in prison.

Old Adolf would have been proud of this gang of justice administrators.

2 “How long will you[a] defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?[b]

3 Defend the weak and the fatherless;
uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
4 Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

5 “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing.
They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”;
you are all sons of the Most High.’
7 But you will die like mere mortals;
you will fall like every other ruler.”

- Psalms 82: 2-7 NIV

In 2013, I was one of perhaps a dozen people that removed the barriers to the WW2 Memorial during the Obama government shut-down. The administration shrugged its shoulders and decided not to prosecute our threat to democracy.

This guy was tortured and sentenced to 15 years hard labor for taking down a government poster. But that was in North Korea, it could never happen here....

My time as a jail guard taught me that criminals have a limited tool kit, deception, fear, and violence.

We have a criminal government.
