Corporate media and the Democrats are fixated on the so-called “insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021, so much so that they are attempting to imprison a past and potentially future president over supposedly causing it.

Aside from the fact that it wasn’t an insurrection, and that President Trump didn’t cause it, President Biden and his corrupt DOJ are using it as an excuse to remove Biden’s likely political opponent, banana republic-style, ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

The Cambridge Dictionary defines insurrection as, “An organized attempt by a group of people to defeat their government and take control of their country, usually by violence.”

Who exactly organized the January 6 protests? Trump held a rally that day and told his supporters, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

Protesters in fact were exercising their First Amendment right, “of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

The only major act of violence was a Capitol Police officer fatally shooting a petite and unarmed female military veteran, for which the officer received zero punishment. Capitol police opened the doors for protesters to enter, and even escorted some through the building. How much of the minor violence was committed by undercover Feds?

Despite the theater and melodrama of the January 6 Congressional committee and now Special Counsel Jack Smith taking over Trump’s persecution from the committee, the truth of the day’s events has been kept hidden by Congress, including by the U.S. House now under Republican control.

Fortunately, Tucker Carlson, now free from Fox News’s “Orange Man Bad” yoke, shed some light on January 6 through an interview with former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund. The gist of this interview spells out the real insurrection.

Federal agencies, the FBI, DHS, and the military knew there would be chaos at the Capitol that day and downplayed intelligence given to the Capitol Police Chief. They let the protest happen and prevented the Capitol Police from stopping it. Who else might have been involved? Capitol leadership including Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi?

Numerous federal agents were in the crowd instigating the protests. Despite credible threats, National Guard assistance requested by the police chief, was denied by Speaker Pelosi. She then likened January 6 to Pearl Harbor and 9/11 but denied any efforts to prevent or stop the protests, almost as if the day’s events were preplanned.
