The Democrat party, along with their allies in the media, want you to believe that violent conservatives stormed the capital to force Vice President Pence to reject fraudulent votes. Trump supporters certainly have a reason to be angry. There has been a steady stream of propaganda suggesting that Pence would be the decider in Trump’s final victory as he allegedly has the authority to do such a thing. Truthfully, the entire Trump presidency has been a big disappointment. Promises of draining the swamp and arresting the deep state resulted in nothing more than being drowned by the very slimy creatures that were to be swooshed away. With that being said, it is not in the character of Trump supporters to exhibit this kind of extreme behavior. Over the past several years the left has demonstrated several times over, their capacity for violence. In some instances, they have even been exposed infiltrating conservative groups to make them look like radicals. Was it Trump supporters that stormed the capital today, or Antifa in disguise?
The idea of infiltrating opposing groups isn’t new. Saul Alinsky was once asked by a group of college students the best way to protest a visit from George Bush Sr. when he was a U.S. representative to the U.N. His advice was to show up to the speech dressed as Klu Klux Klan members while showing strong support for everything Bush said. Of course, the intent was to portray Bush as a Klu Klux Klan supporter. This is an example of one of Alinsky’s rules of tactics which states that a good tactic is one people enjoy and should have fun doing. Another example of infiltration was the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville Virginia. The organizer, Josh Kessler, was a member of the far-left Occupy Wallstreet movement and, a known Obama supporter. The intent, just as in today’s events in D.C., was to portray Trump’s supporters as violent white supremacists.
Unfortunately, the government has also been exposed for infiltrating groups with the intent of portraying them as radical extremists. During the recent Oregon mining standoff, FBI agents were allegedly exposed posing as militia members and breaking into the local national guard armory, trying to give the impression that right-wingers were intent on starting a violent revolution against the government. They have been doing this for a long time under the operational name COINTELPRO. In the 1980s, when the militia movement was strong, the FBI formed a group called the Veterans Aaryan Movement for the explicit purpose of trying to recruit so-called right-wing extremists into committing acts of violence. Despite believing that the right posed an imminent threat to national security, no intent to commit violent crimes was ever uncovered. Another example has FBI agents planting bomb-making materials onto the property of Georgia militia members, attempting to portray them as terrorists. Given this information, it is entirely possible today’s events could have been led by agent provocateurs.
There has been an agenda to portray conservatives as violent extremists for some time. The report Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment suggests that conservatives who support gun rights, oppose immigration and believe in the New World Order conspiracy theories are potential extremists. All of this is subjective speculation as there is no evidence whatsoever that right-wing conservatives are planning on, or have committed, any acts of violence on par with what we have seen the left get away with. Finally, an article published in Psychological Bulletin entitled Political conservatism as motivated social cognition, claims that conservatives are mentally ill because of a rigid resistance to change and a willingness to accept intolerance and inequality.
The left has been working to discredit the conservative right for as long as anyone can remember, and they have no remorse in any method they use. As mentioned in my article Means and ends morality: Democrats justifying incivility, they believe any methods used to obtain absolute power are justified, and in their own words, even suggested that civility should be set aside until such a goal is achieved. It is entirely possible, if not probable, that left-wing provocateurs led the way in storming the capital to make Trump and his supporters look like deranged radicals intent on waging war against the kind, peaceful, compassionate democrats. Of course, if Trump would have drained the swamp as promised…..
I think you hit the nail on the head. However I did hear Rudy Giuliani state at the rally earlier that they could “hold trials by combat,”
The deep state has already started to be drained. Public knowledge will not be made known till later this year. I have seen a list (November 4, 2020) of 260 arrests based on a court filing of Feb 26, 2020 in the United States District Court Southern District of California. Many have been tried in a Military Tribunal and executed, some sentenced to life in prison, others have been arrested and still awaiting awaiting Military Tribunal.
Ok, but that doesn’t make any sense from the perspective of someone trying to win the presidency for a second term. Especially when one of the promises was to drain the swamp. It would be public knowledge, in my opinion. We will see.
