  • The events of January 6th have gotten plenty of news coverage, but there's been very little actual analysis. In this episode, I do my best to explain the Capitol Hill riot, who was responsible, why it happened, and what it means for the country going forward.

      It was just as much, if not less violent of a protest. Than most blm riots and or autonomous zone demonstrations. They didn't "hold down the fort", so to speak. They disband and left right there after. Not to mention they most certainly were enabled. Similar to 9/11 there wasn't proper use of foresight and sheer inaction. Despite prior knowledge of the upcoming circumstances. We just watch what government does where it basically pulls a judo move. They redirect the energy of a situation into into their desired direction/ focus.

By contrast Silvio Berlusconi's party, considered right wing but more moderate than the League, is more or less where the democrats are: the granddaughter of Mussolini himself was elected under his party, if you didn't know.

The underlying problem is that truth hurts and its not always what we want to hear. Truth makes one feel uncomfortable because truth doesn't care about feelings or ones beliefs. Finally, an online chat room is not the proper forum to have an in depth discussion. The amount of information needed to prove my point would take months to explain to you. Information I've studied over 10 years to come to my conclusions. This is not to say I know everything, in fact, the more I learn the more I realize how little I know. The things in our world are very complex and simple answers to said problems are not possible. So, good luck on your journey my friend.

      Yes, it is crazy for Confederates to shout, "USA, USA," because in the War of Northern Aggression murdering, plundering hordes invaded and destroyed the peaceable South, shipping train loads of plunder to their families in the North leaving our women and children homeless, destitute, starving, and dying. Then the assailed Southerners were forcibly "Reconstructed," = disarmed, subjugated, and plundered for a couple of decades more. Good un-Reconstructed Confederates would never shout, "USA," since EVERYTHING about the USA is still dripping with our RIGHTEOUS blood.

      That’s their ultimate plan, so We never fix our government and continue making the same decisions/fighting with each other never uniting against the political establishment ending how much power corporations have and corruption; We continue believing that our system of government can’t be fixed which isn’t true We The American People need too get our heads out of our asses and pay attention too what our politicians and government are doing. The American Anti Corruption Act would be a great place too start fixing our broken government learn more at RepresentUs’s RUclips channel and save our American Constitutional Democratic Republic (also American Democracy, yes the United States is a Republic but still it’s all about American Democracy, Liberty, Freedom but the center being We The People of The United States of America). I feel also history’s repeating being the red scare ~ (like HUAC falsely labeling and identifying so called Communists which while doing so hurt Democracy, Freedom of Speech/expression/thought, Liberty destroying people’s lives and careers and yes I may not like Communism or Fascism or Socialism but my fellow Americans have every right too be or believe them, and because of freedom of speech We know why there bad because of there said practices and beliefs like hate groups) ~ increasing the proposal of more unConstitutional laws limiting freedom of speech while also limiting the ability too question our government kinda sounds Nazi like and “assault rifle” was said by Adolf Hitler himself too promote anti gun legislation in Germany ultimately taking away the people of Germany’s only way too fight against tyranny and a fascist state that goes against the people, so the term “assualt rifles” was again originally came up by Adolf Hitler himself too take away guns. No I’m not anti U.S. government but when the government wants too limit our rights and quell free speech and if you can or cannot own guns it gets pretty sketchy and worrisome too me and should be too all Americans. The point of my comment is really about due too the promotion of “race/racism,” “identity politics,” “political correctness,” the stupid “left vs. right fight” which where on the same team being team USA, we’re too distracted seeing how much power and how much influence corporations/ the rich have in our government increasing the prevalence of corruption in our government which is supposed too work for We The American People, and the decline of government accountability and not caring for its own people (which it doesn’t despite how wrong I sound it’s a sad truth) so how do We fix our broken government well again by paying attention too what our politicians and government is doing and again The American Anti Corruption Act or at least limitation of money or getting rid of money all together in politics because money is all our government cares about now at least the most which results in corruption and corruption is weakening the bedrock of our Republic, corruption being cancer. Yes very long comment but it’s just what I think and you couldn’t be more right Chris g it’s time We The American People have say in our own government again also yes times are rough times are going too get worse before they get better BUT I think our country and We The American People will prevail and get through this thing but one things for sure We The American People will not forget 2020 or 2021 and years that our government has failed us so let’s not look and say it’s impossible there are solutions but We must believe there is a way in fixing our broken government then the real work can begin being serving and fixing the problems that so desperately need too be fixed in our country but yeah have a good day or week or month or year your reading this.

I voted for Obama and he did a good job despite the GOP blocking him constantly. I was not a Hillary fan but did vote for her because I believed she would be better politically for the country. When Trump was legally elected, I said like always, I will give him a chance. 3 months in I was already sorry. I taught history in public school and college. I have 3 degrees including a Masters in History Education and Psychology. I never let my students know my religious or political beliefs. I take the opposite side in any discussion. I am not a huge fan of Biden but he was legally elected and I will support him until and unless he screws the pooch.
    I did start posting that I believed Trump would try to seize power and overthrow our way over 4 years ago. I still believe he and his worshipers will keep trying. I am still afraid we could face a civil war. I think we are going to see more than a little open violence. I am not shocked by the absolute stupidity of Trump's worshipers. We need a Moderate Party to stand against both the so-called GOP and Democrats. This coup attempt scared me badly. My little sister even armed herself. I stand with the Government as long as it at least tries to protect our nation. I agree that Trump has done his best to destroy our alliances, he has linked himself with Totalitarian states around the world. I honestly think he believes that America is a huge company he bought and now owns. I also have seen how nearly every move he has made internationally has benefited Putin and Russia and weakened the country.
    We are close to becoming a police state. That happens when you allow armed police who get less training than certified plumbers to walk around and enforce the laws as they see fit and even make up laws as they go. If we do not start forcing all cops to wear body cams that are on all the time that they are on duty and then put the tapes in 3 places 1) the police station 2) the DA office 3) an independent watchdog group and then jailing renegade cops who step over the line, we will continue on the way to a police state. At that point, I take my family and leave and continue the fight from elsewhere.

      He said they would march on it. He never got the chance. The riots started before his speech ended by people that had planned it all out days earlier, most of it being planned by antifa. As soon as it turned into a riot, they had him in the white house protected areas.

    You make a solid point here toward the end. For the longest time I thought the Democratic party was just incompetent, unable to get the policies they claimed to want passed, but you're right. Both parties have they same goals, and they feed off each other; the GOP needs the Democrats to rally against, and the Democrats need the GOP as cover for why they can't seem to enact any actual leftist policy. I'm ashamed that I didn't realize this on my own, that the rise of both Clintons, Obama, and Biden wasn't enough evidence to convince me.
