The ''insurrection'' stopped the joint hearing of Congress. A senator was laying out the evidence of election fraud on live CSPAN TV, the first time the entire country was able to hear it.
Pelosi and McConnell shut down the hearing and stopped the evidence from being given, the talking heads told the country that our sacred Capitol, the holy grounds of democracy, was being breached by violent heathens instigated by Trump, and Biden was later anointed without any more resistance from the Reps.
Since then, they started another impeachment, banned Trump from Twitter, put the Capitol under martial law, and have spent a month telling Americans that Trump supporters are white supremacist domestic terrorists who need to be cleansed, or reprogrammed or droned.
Mission Accomplished
During yesterday's impeachment hearing, they showed a video which edited Trump's words, by leaving out the ''peaceful and patriotically'' from his ''we will march to the Capitol''. Where are the fact checkers now?
Again, for the purposes of the impeachment, they are claiming that Trump's speech on that day was ''incitement'', because the USA still has laws which protect free speech, unless there is imminent incitement. (They are working very hard on destroying free speech laws, however, as anyone with 2 brain cells should be able to see). So they have to claim that the speech being given a mile away at the time of the riot somehow ''incited'' the riot. They do this by propaganda, which most people still (despite decades of proven lies) fall for.
BUT they also want to demonize the protesters there that day, and by association, all 74 million Trump voters, and shut down social media, so they simultaneously claim that the riot was ''pre-planned on the internet".
Get it? Trump imminently incited something that had already been planned. This only can be believed by people unclear on the basic American values of free speech and freedom of assembly. Unfortunately, that is millions of people, (who are growing more ignorant by the day).
In the meantime, the cop who we were told was killed by a fire extinguisher, and who was laid in the rotunda and given a hero's sendoff turns out not to have been actually harmed in the making of the narrative, and died from unknown causes.
The woman killed by the Capitol police has been pretty much ignored, and we still don't know the name of the cop who shot her. (Because, as it turns out, All Lives Do Not Matter).
The woman trampled is also of no interest, and the two other bit players we were told died, don't even get their stories told at all. They are like the Red Shirts in Star Trek.
And the two cops who died a couple of days after the production? We are told they ''committed suicide'' for unknown reasons. (Guess they had PTSD, like AOC.)
Speaking of AOC, why is this bit player who wasn't even part of the main event suddenly the star of the show? Three dead cops, 4 dead protesters, and we are all arguing over the proper amount of deference that should be paid to a stand-in who never got a walk-on part?
I found out yesterday that a friend who was there saw a ashen-faced, but conscious, young woman being wheeled out at 5:30pm that night, as most protesters had already left. She appeared gravely ill.
Who was she? What happened to her? Why is she not part of the script?
Oh, well. What is important here is that we stomp out free speech and freedom of assembly. Oh, and reprogram those stubborn people not going along with the agenda.
