Benjamin Cole Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) Capitol Police whistleblower delivers scathing rebuke to two senior leaders on Jan. 6 https://www.politico.com/news/2021/10/08/capitol-police-whistleblower-rebuke-jan-6-515696 This is in line with what I have been saying. The 2,300-officer Capitol Police seemed to stand down on Jan. 6, and the 3,500 officer Metropolitan Police Department was nowhere to be seen. The Capitol Police report to Congressional leadership, and the Metro police report to the Mayor of DC. Neither report to Trump, and both are supervised by the Democratic Party. The FBI has concluded "there is no there" to the narrative there was a controlling power behind the 1/ 6 scrum. And the "Brian Sicknick was murdered by a blow from a fire extinguisher on the head by racist Trump supporters" narrative has been debunked. He died of natural causes the next day. All in all...a scrum, probably police mismanagement and 600 lulu's. But...1/6 is being purposed to bring about ever-greater fear and subsequent surveillance and police powers. Remember, be afraid of domestic subversives and foreign powers. Be very afraid. Edited October 9, 2021 by Benjamin Cole typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Niederhut Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Ben, I must confess that you have an unusual ability to completely ignore rebuttals and refutations of your oft-repeated talking points-- e.g., regarding the conflicting FBI assessments about January 6th, Brian Sicknick's anomalous death, etc. So, I won't repeat them. Billionaire Phillip Anschutz's right wing propaganda mouthpiece, The Washington Examiner, has aggressively promoted the narrative that the January 6th insurrection was, 1) not coordinated by Trump, Bannon, Roger Stone, et.al., and 2) was not an insurrection. IMO, a subscription to the Washington Examiner could be useful in the event of a future pandemic-related toilet paper shortage. As for the planning of Trump's January 6th insurrection, hopefully, more information will be uncovered by the Congressional investigation-- although Trump is aggressively stonewalling the subpoenas currently. We know that Steve Bannon has stated publicly that he was involved in planning the January 6th insurrection with Trump, himself. And FBI Director Christopher Wray testified to Congress in March that there was evidence that the January 6th attack on Congress was coordinated by "die hard members of the Trump attack force." At the very least, the FBI has given us mixed messages about the insurrection. See, for example... Is the FBI telling us the truth about the Jan. 6 coup attempt? Because it doesn't feel that way Reports from FBI and DHS suggest a dangerous rift in law enforcement over the Jan. 6 coup plot.

But...my main point stands, regardless of what the underlying facts (if any) are on the 1/6 event. The M$M media, and the political establishment, wants you to be afraid of domestic subversives and foreign threats. Sometimes it is commies, sometimes minorities, sometimes terrorists, sometimes Russians, sometimes left- or right-wing extremists. Sure, there are germs of truth behind all of these threats. But hyped beyond recognition. The M$M 1/6 narrative reflects the default mode of "news coverage" of hyping a threat. Brian Sicknick's death? Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick Died Of Natural Causes https://www.npr.org › 2021/04/19 › capitol-police-officer... Even NPR reported Sicknick's death this way. The real threat? As I say, the coming expansion of the surveillance and police state, more censorship on the internet. Led this time by the D-Party, with the complicity of the establishment R-Party. That's my story, and I am sticking with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Thomas Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 A New Confederacy: Trump and the Republicans have already seceded Now they’re preparing to fight a new civil war. In fact, they're already doing it in all but name By Lucian K. Truscott IV October 9, 2021 https://www.salon.com/2021/10/09/a-new-confederacy-and-the-have-already-seceded/ “You know which ones they are: Nineteen states have enacted 33 laws that make it harder for people to vote Nineteen states have enacted a total of 106 new laws restricting a woman's right to choose to have an abortion, Twelve states have refused to expand Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act, leaving as many as two million people without health insurance All of the states that refused Medicaid expansion and have passed restrictions on voting and abortion are controlled by the Republican Party. Many of those same states have also passed bans on mask and vaccine mandates, and nearly all of them have endured more cases per capita of COVID-19, more hospitalizations and more deaths from the virus. In effect, without any states (yet) seceding from the Union, we already live in two Americas.” “This is what I mean when I say that Republicans have already seceded. They're a white party and they're forming a white country with white laws and white companies and white jobs where white votes count and others don't. They can live in the states that comprise that country, but they can't survive there without our money. It was the same way with the South before the Civil War. They lived in their states with slavery, but they couldn't survive without the economy of the North, so they started a war. They never intended to "secede." They intended to win, and run the new country, which would be the South writ large, with slave-owners in power and slavery everywhere.” “Democrats may or may not "win" in 2022 and 2024, but the elections are already over. Republicans have declared that only their votes count. Unless we get together and stay together and use our numbers to protect our democracy, we will end up living in their fascist country ruled by their dictator.” Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Thomas Steve- Your assessment may be correct. And I am just one small citizen here, and what I say will have zero impact on anything. But here goes: One very important reason to study the JFKA is to learn how corporate media and government work together to manipulate public opinion after real or fabricated events. Maybe 9/11 was a terrorist attack, as depicted. It was then leveraged by government-media to get the US into two fantastically expensive and counterproductive wars, and kill a couple million people. In the case of the JFKA, we see how public opinion was shaped, perhaps even before, and very much after the JFKA. For sake of argument, let us assume LHO was a lone gunman---that does not change the heavy PR-fake-news-manipulation effort that went into ensuring that was your point of view. Plus a lot of hints that maybe the commies were behind it. (That is still going on.) That is what is happening on the 1/6 scrum. The public is being manipulated, and hysteria is being fanned. The 1/6 committee is political theater. We were told racist Trump supporters murdered Brian Sicknick by bludgeoning him in the head with a fire extinguisher, and that the scrum was armed and organized---and that what happened is a threat to our nation. Here is the woman who stole Nancy Pelosi's laptop, a Riley June Williams: She helpfully livestreamed her theft: Then, to add to the mix, she live-texted about it. Yes, she took "Nancy Polesis" laptop. Assuming Riley June Williams is a real person, and not a provocateur or actress....does she strike you as a threat the Republic? The Deep State, which can tax you at will, enter in foreign wars on behalf of multinationals at will, controls the media, and assassinates US presidents...wants you to be afraid of Riley June Williams. Why? https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/capitol-breach-cases One sure gets a different impression of the 1/6 event when reading primary materials. Add on, from the "statement of facts": "W1 (an informant) stated that WILLIAMS intended to send the computer device to a friend in Russia, who then planned to sell the device to SVR, Russia’s foreign intelligence service." So, Russia gets worked into the story. Maybe this strikes one as a little too pat. Edited October 29, 2021 by Benjamin Cole typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
