I'm noticing a familiar theme.
Despite a summer of love and "mostly peaceful demonstrations" that left areas of several cities in ruins, all done by Marxists and sympathizers in the Democrat Party,
It is always the Conservative factions who are anticipated to be violent in the media, but the Leftists who burn business districts and murder people.
If you think back to November 2, the odds-on favorites for more acts of violence were BLM and ANTIFA if Trump won, but again, the idea that Trump supporters would be the source of violence was something only rattling around the inside of demented Democrat heads.
We have had people come forward to say that bus loads of ANTIFA and BLM types came in and unloaded near the capitol, that social media messages indicated they would be there with MAGA/Trump hats on backwards, and Trump gear over their 'black bloc outfits', they've been 'made' in the video of the Capitol crowd, stopped from breaking windows by Trump supporters, and even filmed Ashli Babbit's murder.
Now footage emerges showing what appears to be Capitol Police instigating violent hostilities by firing flashbangs and gas and pepper spray into the crowd massed on the other side of the barriers.
I have read accounts that despite repeated entreaties to have additional manpower and even the National Guard at the Capitol for crowd control, the requests were turned down, and that refusal follows up the food chain through the House of Representatives Sargent at Arms and even to Pelosi, herself.
Yet the Democrats are acting as if they knew there would be unrest at the Capitol.
If that was the case, why no additional security?
Is it because they also knew agents provocateur would be present, both Government agency personnel and the Street Gang Socialists, operating to make sure there was an incident? Were Capitol Police under orders to make sure the crowd was pushed to the point that any ordinary human being would resort to violence (the physical equivalent of "fighting words") and to eventually let them in? (It is my understanding that the doors on the building are electronically operated deadbolts {correct me if I am wrong in this, I want to be sure this is right} that would have to be opened from the inside and are unlikely to be breached with the sort of stuff most people were carrying around that day.
So what looks like it was a crowd of Trump supporters (but was laced with busloads* of BLM/ANTIFA/? (insert alphabet agency moles here), approached the Capitol, mostly stayed on its side of the barriers and pulled away those who were damaging the building to stop them, were attacked with flashbangs while tightly packed (no ability to avoid the grenades), pepper sprayed and gassed while still on their side of the barrier, and occasionally, if they crossed it apprehended and seriously beaten while on the ground and held down by several officers, which would be gasoline on a fire at that point.
Needless to say, an incident was desired, to draw attention from the election fraud. I am sure it was a disappointment, and the Democrats have done all they can to promote it as a violent and armed insurrection with multiple deaths, right down to having crying cops testifying before Congress. (Oh, please.)
The reality: As many as seven shuttlebuses of ANTIFA/BLM types were seen unloading and gearing up in the vicinity of the incident. Average shuttle buses can carry 31 passengers, so that would be 217 people come to make sure there was a violent incident. Despite claims otherwise, we know that some of the crowd were BLM/ANTIFA people.
Is the rest of the footage being withheld to keep interested parties from identifying more?
Is that footage being withheld to keep from identifying Federal Informants, agents, UC/CI types who were inciting the crowd, perhaps even by leading the way and committing violent or destructive acts?
The only person killed in the Capitol (intentionally, violently, killed, not a death by natural causes or accident) was Ashli Babbit.
The identity of the shooter was kept secret, even though the trend for the previous year was for the identity of police officers involved in killing suspects to be revealed within 48 hours.
Some possible irregularities surround the handling of her remains (cremated within 2 days of the autopsy).
Derek Chauvin is being imprisoned after kneeling on the side of the neck of a dying, overdosed, felon, and the Capitol Police are getting Congressional Medals?
The video footage montage of the event presented was edited to be unsettling, to create a sense of chaos in the building, when other videos show that to generally not be the case. The vast majority seemed more docile than sixth graders on a class trip. But the video reminds me of the trailer highlights for a low budget movie where flashes of the most intense parts of the movie are crammed into a 30 second trailer. If that is all there is for 14000 hours of video from all the various camera angles in the Capitol, they don't have much, but it would be good to be able to see and review it.
Does some of that video show collusion between agents provocateur and/or UC agents of alphabet agencies and the Capitol security? Would it provide the means to identify members of ANTIFA and BLM and other hirelings and is thus being suppressed? Would it provide Brady Material for the political prisoners being abused in solitary confinement?
If nothing else, some attorney should seize on that angle (want to bet that key footage would be "lost"?).
