The American public has been fed a steady diet of lies about violent white supremacists (aka Trump supporters) who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 in order to launch an insurrection and keep Donald Trump in power. But this is an outrageous fiction. BLM and Antifa have done more killing, looting and burning than Trump supporters. The facts tell the true story.
- Trump supporters did not kill a single person, including law enforcement personnel on the scene charged with protecting the Capitol. The lone police officer listed as a casualty died from a stroke, according to his mother. Three other fatalities died of medical emergencies. Only Ashli Babbit was a victim of violence–she was unarmed and shot by a cop.
- The FBI, according to FBI counter-terrorism official Jill Sanborn, did not recover any firearms from protestors nor have they charged a singled person with carrying a weapon on the Capitol grounds.
- Christopher Wray lied to Congress when he testified that the FBI had not seen any evidence of anarchist violent extremists or people subscribing to antifa in connection with the 6th. In fact, the FBI has interviewed more than two dozen Antifa members who admitted being paid to infiltrate the crowd of Trump supporters. As Joe Hoft noted in a recent post, Antifa-BLM organizer John Sullivan was at the US Capitol and bragged about wearing a MAGA hat during the riots where he broke a window and stormed the US Capitol.
How can you have an “insurrection” when there are no weapons and no fatalities at the hands of the supposed revolutionaries?
By contrast, the rioting that broke out across the United States in the wake of George Floyd’s death left at least 17 people dead:

“FBI informants who infiltrated groups, like the Proud Boys”
That would be FBI informant and Proud Boys founder Enrique Tarrio, who promoted the rally, inflamed the membership, and got himself removed from the scene a couple days before the event courtesy of friendly law enforcement who were protecting their agent/informant.

Technically, I think it was Gavin McInness who founded the Proud Boys. But good point about Tarrio.
This is a complete lie…the story about Enrique being a snitch was from an incident years and years ago..it was about him and the OTHER defendants ALL TALKING…he didn’t snitch on anyone and most definitely didn’t snitch on ANYONE ON JAN 6TH…nice to see that even people on the Right believe the bullshit that the leftist media feeds them
Capitol riot? I just call it ‘the podium theft heard ’round the world.’
simple, straight-forward post. it shouldn’t be this easy…
semiconscious
Perhaps you could explain “it shouldn’t be this easy.”
what i mean is that pointing out the undeniably obvious hypocrisy shouldn’t be this easy. the narrative that the swamp continues to foist on us all is just disturbingly transparent at this point, it’s almost like they aren’t really even trying to be convincing anymore…
Swamp narrative…….how about repetitious droning from the MSM 24/7/365×4 (watch CNN? The View?)…..easy peasy, and hell no, it should not be that easy. Now here’s the real question…what are everyday US stakeholders going to do about it? After Jan 6th, wait another 4 years, and then what? Rinse repeat? No one lives in a utopia, but watching the USA today…….where’s this going?
Official: “there was an armed insurrection”
News: “how many guns were confiscated?”
Official: “none”
Every town in America has reciprocal agreements to assist each other in the case of emergency thus a similar event in east Podunk could of brought a half dozen LEO’s from every town within a 100 miles plus half the State Police of the adjoining states within two hours bringing an assist force of over 1,000 Leo’s. But we heard all day in that hearing from a National Guard General talking about “if only I could of brought our 40 man Quick Reaction Force to assist at the Capitol”.
Where were the +2,000 LEO’s from the surrounding areas versus crying for the U.S. Military to solve your problems when everyone knows they are mission orientated which is slow but steady momentum. Of course the Soldiers rightfully deserved to be fed properly like our Congress Critters at the local government provided cafeteria.
US is a young democracy, compared to my native Britain whose institutions are many centuries more mature. It will take time for America to mature. Your country is going through growing pains. I am sure it will get there one day.
Bunkum. Sorry, but pure bunkum. The country didn’t just turn up on the doorstep in 1776.
And by that reasoning Australia is still unweaned. Such bunkum.
The constitutional and political traditions of a country are not in any case some magic inheritance. They have to be preserved and if necessary fought for. That battle is the battle we see and have seen in the States for some time now. That we in England or in Europe have scarcely awakened to that battle while those in the States are now fully conscious of it is no measure of superiority. It is a measure of decline.
What an astonishing place to find this jejune English exceptionalism. It has dogged us as long as I can remember. It is the tired exceptionalism of the failed and any Englishman who believes his country still has within it the seeds of recovery should rebut it.
Unless you are being sardonic. God, I get so bored with the knowing English sardonic, for that too is the wit of the defeated.
Trump nominee Wray is the perfect Swamp creature. No draining the swamp here. Were the Deplorables hoodwinked by the MAGA man?
With gatekeepers such as Jared & Ivanka screening personnel and whispering in his ears like a stereophonic version of Grima Wormtongue, little better can be expected. But then, in the Great Dismal Swamp that is Washington, pickings were expectedly pretty thin for a non-Uniparty executive, ‘cuz the whole place wanted him gone, baby, gone; this MAGA talk was harshin’ their mellow.
JJ
Who allowed the gatekeepers to wormtounge?
When Devin Nunes implored Trump to declassify and gave him the list of docs, this at the time that Mueller was writing the script, what did he do? If he didn’t have the courage to stand up then when the attack was directed at him personally, the question ought to be, does he have the courage, let alone the “smarts” to carry the MAGA banner?
