Description | One of the most fortified positions in the US gets violently overrun by a group of Trump Supporters after a demonstration... without a single shot fired by the mob. Official narrative soon blamed Trump and extremists. Official opposition narrative soon blamed the democratic party trying to fraud Joe Biden into the White House. Several other governments were briefed by intelligence services that the incident seemingly "was being allowed" to happen. |
On January 6, 2021, the US Capitol in Washington D.C was stormed during a demonstration [1] disrupting the joint session of congress assembled to count electoral votes to formalize President-elect Joe Biden's victory. Although at first, corporate media called it an attempt by President Donald Trump to violently coup the government, soon multiple FBI informants were revealed to be leading the organisations marching to the capitol, having informed intelligence agencies beforehand, raising the suspicion of a false flag operation. Furthermore, the investigations of the dozens of police officers put on trial for aiding rioters, the refusal of the Capitol Police for more police support and the lack of weapon usage by the rioters were silently removed from the news cycle shortly after Joe Biden's installment.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
Contents
Official Narrative
An overview of the official narrative. |
"Friend" of the people Wikipedia writes "On Wednesday, January 6, 2021, the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., was stormed during a riot and violent attack against the U.S. Congress. A mob of supporters of President Donald Trump attempted to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election by disrupting the joint session of Congress assembled to count electoral votes to formalize President-elect Joe Biden's victory. The Capitol Complex was locked down and lawmakers and staff were evacuated while rioters occupied and vandalized the building for several hours. Five people died either shortly before, during, or after the event: one was shot by Capitol Police, one died of a drug overdose, and three succumbed to natural causes. More than 140 people were injured."
"Dozens of people present in Washington, D.C., on the day, including some who took part in the riot, were later found to be listed in the FBI's Terrorist Screening Database, most as suspected white supremacists."
In the chaotic 3 hours this storming occurred, the rioters backed down when facing capitol police drawing their gun, but not leaving the building calling for some form of cancellation to Biden's victory, which was not granted, with the US National guard clearing the Capitol after Mike Pence & the leading members of the Democratic party pressuring Christopher C. Miller instead.
One year on Kamala Harris compared it to 9/11 and Pearl Harbor.[8]
Capitol Police faced "racism" from "possessed zombies".[9]
Official opposition narrative
The Official Opposition Narrative soon blamed the "liberal media" for not questioning the allegations of fraud in the US 2020 Election. Leading face soon became CCM-pundits like Tucker Carlson.
Concerns
On the other side of the divide and rule tactic, Tucker Carlson is here calling for an end to dismissing the allegations of fraud in the US 2020 election, urging viewers to stand ground and remember "they are gonna take away your freedom", not placing questions why Trump should be supported in the first place. |
The whole incident is full of plot holes and contrived narratives. The official narrative claimed it was an “armed” insurrection, which is exaggerated, as most rioters came unarmed and although assault with weapons like mace or brass knuckles were reported[10], even inside the US Capitol upon finding some politicians, the protestors failed to shoot or injure any politicians, even after being allowed to roam the building for ~3 hours, before the National Guard came and arrested dozens of individuals, after Mike Pence pressured Secretary of Defense Miller[11]to overrule Donald Trump (who just appeared to let it all happen) and let the National Guard clear the building.
The D.C Capitol police let the protesters in the building[12]. Video footage proved the Capitol Police let the demonstrators into the building, including Jacob Chansley, the so-called “Q shaman”.[13] Also noted must be the fact that only a handful of dozens of protestors started a shoving contest with the Capitol Police at first, with a large part of the crowd rejecting violent attacks, and several being recorded on tape trying to restrain others saying things like "Don't do it", You're breaking the law".[14]
Although discussions remains over why they retreated, the preparation of the defence and the poor law enforcement response and stand down order[15] (with a budget of $500 million) is questioned by nearly all sides, as even according to the official narrative, the police has intel a violent riot could happen weeks before, with the arrest of dozens if not hundred of polices and government officials arrested of suspended for aiding or siding with the protestors during the riot going unanswered.[16][17] Some reports say that part of the available police force was sent home early.[18]
AOC in mid July 2022 was approached by Alex Stein in front of the entrance to the congress,[19] which triggered a reply by AOC on Instagram, in which she talked about police officers "helping and being sympathetic to the insurrectionists" and she still not knowing who it is safe to be around with and that these questions are not being approached, or if one does so, faces backlash for doing it.[20][21]
Certain questions regarding the riot remain unanswered, or went down the memory hole as the US (and international) populace has seemingly completely lost itself into enemy and hero images, declaring anyone not to align with their own opinions something with a enemy image (eg. Nazi, Antifa), aided by US politicians and the ccm.
Another FBI informant uncovered on CCM, and he's not the only one. |
Some discovered potholes raise questions, such as the leaders of The Proud Boys being informants reported on by respected media outlet Reuters, if the FBI has informants, why didn't they strengthen defence? Were there more informants present?[22] Especially with dozens of rioters being present in the terrorism-databases of the FBI, questions remain how they could've have planned this without anyone spying into the communication and interfering.
Other questions could be:
- about the amount or violence used by the rioters, or what the purpose of the rioters was?
- how many FBI informants in the leadership of the group does it take to make it a false flag event?
- who benefited from the attacks, how it plays into funding and supporting domestic terrorism or "counterterrorism"?
Likewise, the allegations of fraud in the US 2020 Election died a slow death with any soft supporters of that claim, as it meant aligning with the rioters.
Deaths
5 people died, under circumstances which are still not entirely clear,[23] but only one person, Ashli Babbitt, actually died by homicide.
- Ashli Babbitt, a 35 year old veteran was shot in the neck by Capitol Police. She was a Trump supporter and has been smeared as a terrorist by the media. US Representative Paul Gosar called it an "execution".[24]
- Benjamin Phillips, a 50 year old computer programmer from Pennsylvania suffered a stroke at an unknown time.
- Kevin Greeson, a 55, year old Trump supporter from Athens, Alabama, died of a heart attack at an unknown time.
- Rosanne Boyland, a 34 year old from Georgia died of an undisclosed medical emergency. The Gateway Pundit report that she too was killed by Capitol Police.[25] Gateway report that she was beaten by police.[26]
- Brian Sicknick, a 42 year old Capitol Police officer died. Sicknick was a Trump supporting veteran of the War on Terror. He was also an Anti-war libertarian. The media and politicians claimed he was murdered by Trump supporters. The FBI changed its story[27] a few times about its “investigation” into his death. In April 2021, it was revealed that he had died at home of natural causes.[28]
Later
2 officers committed suicide between 6 January and 27 January.
- Officer Howard Liebengood died on 9 January.
- Officer Jeffrey Smith was hit in the head with a metal pole during the riot and afterward, his wife said, he seemed to slip into a deep depression. He later committed suicide.[29]
- On 10 July 2021, Kyle DeFreytag was found dead. On 4 August, it was revealed that he apparently from suicide.[30]
- On 2 August 2021, Officer Gunther Hashida died by suicide.[31]
- On 27 June 2022, Michael Stenger died suddenly hours before he was supposed to give evidence to the January 6 Committee.[32]
Legacy
The only legacies left as of 2021 of this event are increased anti-protest bills by republicans in three states, and the complete ban of Donald Trump from social media.
Prosecutions
- Paul Hodgkins, 8 months.[33]
- Anna Morgan-Lloyd, member of the Oath Keepers sentenced to three years
Over 550 people have been charged in the Capitol demonstration, with charges ranging from assault on law enforcement to trespassing on government property and property damage[34]. Law enforcement went to great lengths to find participants, including warrantless searches of bank data.[35]
Strangely, some of the key people who participated on January 6 have not been charged. The government calls those people "non indicted co-conspirators", which indicates that in potentially every single case they were FBI operatives.[36]
Court filings[37] show that Federal Bureau of Investigation operatives helped organize, coordinate the entire incident.
The FBI agent in charge of a previous infiltration operation, the false flag attack against Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer was promoted after the plot was foiled, and given a position in the agency’s Washington DC field office, where he oversees the prosecution of the Capitol rioters. [38]
2 police officers from Seattle are at risk of being fired for attending.[39]
Florida Representative Matt Gaetz has issued a letter to the FBI demanding answers about their involvement.[40]
Founder of #WalkAway Brandon Straka was arrested on 26 January and has been charged.
Journalist associated with InfoWars, Owen Shroyer has been charged by the FBI for involvement with the 2021 Washington D.C. Riots. There was a tipoff.[41] Feds say he went to a restricted area of the Capitol Grounds.[42]
Registered Democrat Robert Maurice Reeder received a light sentence.[43]
Jacob Chansley was sentenced to 41 months in prison.[44]
Property Damage
In charging documents in the months after the demonstration, federal prosecutors repeatedly claimed protestors ransacked the Capitol Building and caused $30 million in damage, including broken windows and doors, graffiti, and residue from pepper spray, tear gas, and fire extinguishers deployed by both crowd members who stormed the Capitol and by Capitol Police officers trying to restore order.”[45]
The damage claim was later quietly reduced. During a plea hearing on June 2, 2021, for Paul Hodgkins, a Capitol defendant charged with various trespassing counts and obstruction of an official proceeding, the government said damages at the Capitol totaled around $1.5 million.[46]

Donald Trump/First Presidency | “Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!"” | Donald Trump | 6 January 2021 |
Donald Trump/First Presidency | “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!” | Donald Trump | 6 January 2021 |
Rudy Giuliani | “Over the next 10 days we get to see the machines that are crooked, the ballots that are fraudulent, and if we're wrong we will be made fools of, but, if we're right a lot of them will go to jail so let's have trial by combat.” | Rudy Giuliani | 6 January 2021 |
Global Commission for Post-Pandemic Policy | “The riots on January 6th were a reminder that conspiracy theories are not simply the purview of kooks in basements connecting the dots. For human psychology, they are a dangerous and ever-present temptation, one that through the affirming appeal of collective effort has the power to undermine democracies, overthrow governments and set history on new courses. The threat they pose is a real one, and needs to be treated as such.” | Dylan Barry | 16 July 2021 |
Mikhail Gorbachev | “The storming of the capitol was clearly planned in advance, and it's obvious by whom” | Mikhail Gorbachev | 7 January 2021 |
Witnesses

---|---|
"Alt-right" | A modern term used in US and western CCM-media to define conservative-aligned parts of the population that have strayed away from supporting the classic liberal and classic conservatism parties in favour of (sometimes) more reactive, violent or anti-governmental ideas and concepts, in a way similar to the positioning of Antifa in the political spectrum. |
Capitol Police | The US Capitol police is tasked with protecting the US Capitol, receiving a budget of $500 million. Full of racial discrimination according to former personnel since the 2000s. Some dozen officers have been arrested in aiding the mob that attacked them in the 2021 Washington D.C. Riots. |
FBI | Formerly focused on "law enforcement", the Federal Bureau of Investigation has since 2013 been officially prioritising "national security". Director for life J. Edgar Hoover used it for multiple purposes over the decades - most notably muckraking for information to be used later as blackmail material. |
Mike Pence | Politician, Governor and former VP under Trump. Called a "decent guy" by Joe Biden. Called himself "Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order." Was named "to be hanged" by Trump mob and pressured Christopher C. Miller to deploy the national guard on January 6, the day of the D.C Capitol riots. |
