Waking up on January 6th, I had no intention of following the planned events of the day. I imagined that it was more bluster from Trump and that it would be another “nothing burger.” Imagine my shock when people stormed the Capitol and managed to occupy Nancy Pelosi’s office, allegedly take hard drives, and take aesthetic photo opportunities. The memes were on fire throughout the afternoon and it warmed my heart to see a Confederate flag in the imperial capital. After all, that was something our ancestors had been unable to accomplish.
I had a grin ear to ear until I saw that Pence ordered the National Guard to come in. I then realized that whatever Trump had initially planned, the reality was the “Powers That Be” were only letting it go long enough till they could make use of it. After all, every crisis is an opportunity.
Speaking of crises, some in the media are asserting this protest was a “riot.” Interestingly, while 4 deaths have been attributed to this, one was by gunshot by a government employee, whereas the other 3 were labeled medical emergencies. It is unclear if these medical emergencies are really connected to the protest, or it’s just people had health issues in the proximity of the protest. It also is telling that the media is calling what happened yesterday a “riot” when even the property damage is fairly tame, particularly compared to when BLM attacked people and burned down cities, but they were labeled “fiery, but mostly peaceful protests.”
The only known death I see is a victim of the empire itself. This was an unarmed white female veteran, Ashli Babbitt (some websites have also spelled her name as “Babbit”).
So, how will the empire turn this crisis into an opportunity? Well, quite a few republican lawmakers are using it as an excuse to pivot. We can look at our stalwart conservatives like Georgia’s kleptocratic Senator Kelly Loeffler, who profited on insider trading while in office. She, and a few others, have decided that even though they believed Tuesday morning there was fraud and did not plan to verify the results of the election, they have since changed their tune. Apparently, if you oppose fraud and someone who also opposes fraud is murdered by the state, you should validate said fraud.
Just to be clear. BLM burned down cities and they get politicians bending over backwards. Antifa attacks old people and politicians pretends antifa doesn’t exist. An innocent woman is shot and those she agrees with are demonized and punished. Makes sense, doesn’t it? It certainly doesn’t make sense in a sane world, but we have to keep in mind we live in Clownworld. Ours is a government that mixes the worst parts of Babylon and Weimar.
In the coming days, there will be moral appeals. There will be appeals to the “nation,” “our values,” and many absurd platitudes about healing the fractures in our society. Of course, the people who make these appeals are talking out of both sides of their mouths. Monday, before any of this happened, Chuck Schumer already said the republicans opposing the electoral fraud were attempting a coup. Yes, to the republicans they preach reconciliation, but that’s not what is preached to their own side. They don’t want reconciliation. They want subservience.
The 6th of January was a watershed moment in American history and the effects of it aren’t yet known. Biden’s confirmation is secured. There’s also a slim possibility for Pence to remove Trump from office beforehand (he has less than 2 weeks left, so it seems a pointless signal). There is also the possibility of the media retconning and changing the facts of what happened to justify more draconian laws against the American people. The New York Times has already published two new articles that argue for heavy-handed restrictions on speech (“The storming of Capitol Hill was organized on social media” and “Violence on Capitol Hill Is a Day of Reckoning for Social Media”). Expect greater social media crackdowns in the short term and weird new laws in the long term. The media may even see how far they can get away with Soviet-style retconning and claim that Mrs. Babbitt was really killed by another republican in order to ham-fistedly justify more gun control.
Let’s say a prayer for the fallen Mrs. Babbitt, for her family that will suffer from her loss, and all those who will face persecution for their standing up against fraud. Hopefully, by seeing the way the empire reacts, our fellow citizens will realize what the empire and flag really stand for and represent. Next time you’re asked to pledge allegiance to the flag or “be proud to be an American,” remember Mrs. Babbitt and how the empire treats those who serve it.

Deo vindice!
I’m skeptical this was Trump people. As much as I want this to be angry Christian Conservatives having enough and seizing the King’s palace, this was probably not the case. Trump supporters don’t do anything. They like to complain on Facebook and go to a rally so they can feel like they helped, but going to war means giving up the tv and canned soda and beer and hamburgers while on campaign. Not a Trump fan’s cup of tea.
Say a rosary for the nation.
I was there. The “Antifa did it” is a gay cope of biblical proportions. It was a mish-mash of MAGA people and various Q Tards etc. I’m sure not everyone was ideologically bound together on everything, but this was not some black op by Antifa. That is peak boomer poasting.
Enjoyed the video at the end, Ethan. I would have preferred that the photo of the bastard and war criminal Lincoln would not have been the last photograph of the video, however.
To anyone who considers the events of yesterday far-fetched, I would simply and succinctly describe what historically was considered a “False Flag” attack.
A pirate ship (privateer) would fly the colors of an inimical country, i.e. Spain would fly British, or British would fly Spanish. The pirates would then attack a non-strategically important ship of their own navy in a highly conspicuous manner. Or, they would attack an extremely important vessel in a highly conspicuous, yet very superficial manner. Either way, the attack would be attributed to a rival country and justification for war could be obtained.
So, was the Capitol Building significantly damaged? No.
Were any members of our noble and virtuous Congress harmed? No.
Were the levers of power seized by the unruly and seditious peasants? No.
Will the hammer of “Democracy” come down on every single person in the U.S. regardless of political affiliation? Yeah.
Anyone care to venture a guess when they’ll drop the pretense of “Trump supporter” and just start saying White people in general are the greatest threat to “American Democracy?”
