Tucker Carlson On The January 6th Capitol Incursion
Editors’ Note: The Tucker Carlson three-part Fox Nation series on January 6th is so revealing. The bottom line, though, is what actually happened in the 2020 Presidential election to bring so many Americans to distrust our electoral system. Today, The Prickly Pear posted a superb Featured Video interview with Arizona Senator Wendy Rogers who has been a force for election integrity and is leading a national movement to address the failures of our election system across America. We highly recommend viewing this 19 minute Election Integrity interview in our video section by Neland Nobel, the author of the following article and the Editor-at-Large of The Prickly Pear. There are ways to be involved in this critical fight for election integrity and Senator Rogers illustrates these in her interview. Join her and join the movement – our Republic is at extreme risk.
One of the more amusing jokes of our era is this: “I need to get some new conspiracy theories because all my old ones turned out to be true.”
Consider that in the last few weeks major blows have landed on the “Russian Collusion Hoax.” After the multi-year Mueller investigation, John Durham is finally indicting some people and we are getting closer to the truth. It seems to run absolutely counter to the standard narrative peddled by the press.
It was not Trump that had an association with the Russians, it was Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party. Reporter John Solomon suggests interviewing the FBI and intelligence officials next. We can only hope.
Then we have the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse going on, supposedly the poster boy for “white supremacy.” The murder trial is not going well for the prosecution, with both witnesses and video showing the youth was attacked. One man tried to take his rifle away, and that man got shot. He was a convicted child molester. Another man attacked Rittenhouse with a skateboard and got shot as well. This second attacker was previously convicted of domestic violence. A third man attacked Rittenhouse with a pistol and he got shot as well but survived with part of his bicep removed.
Meanwhile, the FBI says it lost the drone footage of the incident, raising this question: Why did the FBI have a drone there in the first place, and wasn’t it so convenient to lose the footage?
No black people were involved either in the attack on Rittenhouse and it appears that white as cheesecake Rittenhouse, while foolish to be in the midst of a riot, acted in self-defense. How the heck did this get associated with white supremacy? The trial is ongoing and there may be additional evidence, but right now, it looks like Rittenhouse is not guilty of murder.
Then after learning of the white supremacists who attempted the kidnapping of Governor Whitmer of Michigan, we find out that roughly two-thirds of the “conspirators” were Federal agents.
But nothing is more spectacularly threatening to American citizens and our liberty than the January 6th Capitol riot being blown into an “insurrection” that has endangered the very stability of the nation.
We don’t make any brief for rioters, but if that was an insurrection, it was the most ineffective in all of history. However, it became a handy excuse to label all those opposed to the Biden Administration as terrorists, including parents that want a say in their children’s education. Funny how the hundred or more riots through the previous summer by Antifa and Black Lives Matter get a pass, even as they were endorsed by leading Democrats.
That this protest over “stop the steal” has been used to justify such extreme action makes the whole subject worthy of investigative reporting for that reason alone. But it would seem only Tucker Carlson is willing to take it on, which he does in three-part series on Fox Nation. And take it on, he certainly does.
One of the first things we learn is that the press told us a policeman with Capitol security was murdered, beaten to death with a fire extinguisher, by Trump supporters. The press played this for all it was worth…except it turned out to be a lie because the unfortunate man died of a heart attack. In fact, unlike the Black Lives Matter riots, no police were killed. Only a diminutive unarmed woman, a veteran of the Air Force and a Trump supporter, was killed for no apparent reason other than being a Trump acolyte in the crowd.
No other officer saw the need to shoot to kill that day, except the one in this case. And why this woman was shot in the neck, while surrounded by other rioters, is unknown. Why was she the only grave threat to all of the police officers that day, while others were not, and why was there no investigation of the shooting? What was the threat posed by this woman that could justify the use of deadly force? Looking at the video, she seems to pose no particular threat among the collective.
But much like other events such as the Kyle Rittenhouse shooting, the Russia collusion caper, and the Whitmer “kidnapping plot”, it would be nice to know how heavily involved the FBI was along with other non-Trump actors who were serving as agent provocateurs. Since the FBI is consistenly involved in these other events, it is a reasonable question, don’t you think?
Much of the Tucker Carlson special report goes directly into this question.
We can’t do justice to the work he has done in a short essay. See the Fox Nation special if you can. If you are not a subscriber to Fox Nation, the annual charge is worth it just to see this expose.
Meanwhile, the Congressional hearings on the subject continue as a farce. Since the Democrats have already reached a conclusion as to the nature of the riot (“It was an insurrection!”), we cannot expect an impartial and thorough investigation. That is especially the case since the few Republicans on the panel have also expressed the same views as the Democrats. If Congress already knows what happened and has such strong opinions, what’s the point of the whole exercise?
Their point is to show that if you disagree with their policies, you too are a terrorist.
This is a stunning turn of events. It is dangerous for the country and could lead to violence.
We think those that stormed the Capitol building were stupid, although it is hard to view the Carlson documentary without the feeling much of it was contrived by the authorities. That said, it is the extension of the term “domestic terrorism” to some 70 million Americans who were not involved in the incident that is truly frightening. Those that were involved are entitled to due process and should not be treated as political prisoners. So far, not one person has been indicted for “insurrection” but more likely trespassing.
Many administration spokesmen such as the former head of the CIA and television journalists, want to extend the term “terrorist” to anyone that objects to socialism, those that question mask and vaccine mandates, and those that do not accept that America is a “fundamentally racist country.”
It is not mere rhetoric. The Biden Administration already had an unprecedented “stand down” to purge conservatives from the military. Further, if you resist their mandates, you can lose your job.
That goes well beyond name-calling. Rather it is illegal and unconstitutional action.
Republicans need to unite with reasonable Democrats on this issue. This blood libel of more than half the country needs to stop, and it needs to stop now.
