WATCH: J6 Footage Suggests Capitol Police Participation in Riot May Have Been Precipitated by Firing Munitions Into Peaceful Crowd

/0 Comments/in , , /by

House Speaker Mike Johnson has taken a significant step toward transparency by releasing over 40,000 hours of footage related to the January 6th Capitol events, challenging the prevailing narrative surrounding the incident. The move, long overdue according to many, aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the events that transpired on J6 and dispel what some argue is a distorted portrayal fueled by selective media coverage.

The released footage, including Capitol Police body camera footage, offers new perspectives on the events of January 6th. Contrary to the limited snippets previously circulated by the media, the extended videos suggest a more nuanced picture of the day’s occurrences. Critics argue that the initial portrayal of J6 as an insurrection may have been misleading, and that police actions and establishment spin played a role in transforming what started as a protest into a riot.

One particularly noteworthy revelation from the footage is the apparent invitation of protesters into the Capitol building by Capitol Police as they peacefully assembled in the corridors—a stark contrast to the subsequent portrayal of these individuals as “insurrectionists.” Videos circulating on social media, such as that of Matthew Perna, who initially pled guilty and believed he might face 6-12 months in prison, raise questions about the fairness of the legal process and the consequences of the narrative surrounding J6.

Moreover, the newly released footage raises concerns about the events leading up to the alleged riots. Video clips suggest that Capitol Police fired rubber bullets, tear gas grenades, and stun grenades into crowds of peaceful protesters before any attempt to enter the Capitol building occurred. This has led to speculation about whether such actions may have triggered the subsequent violence, creating footage that was widely circulated as proof of an insurrection.

Russia Moves to Ban LGBTQ Groups as “Extremist” Organizations

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russia’s justice ministry has filed a motion with the country’s Supreme Court to ban the activities of what it calls the “international LGBT public movement” as extremist. . .

It said the movement had shown signs of “extremist activity”, including inciting “social and religious strife”.

The ban could leave any LGBT activist vulnerable to criminal prosecution. . .

The ban would make it impossible for LGBT organizations to operate and put activists and employees at risk of criminal prosecution, the Moscow Times quoted one of the few LGBT activists still inside Russia as saying. . .

Russia under Mr. Putin has cracked down on LGBT activism, which he sees as part of an attack by the West on “traditional Russian values”. (Read more from “Russia Moves to Ban LGBTQ Groups as “Extremist” Organizations” HERE)

Iranian-Backed Terrorists Seize Cargo Ship in Red Sea, Prompting Israeli Condemnation

/0 Comments/in , /by

Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists from Yemen reportedly seized a cargo ship in the Red Sea on Sunday, which comes after the terrorist group had recently threatened to target Israeli-flagged vessels in the area.

The Jerusalem Post reported that the Bahamas-flagged Galaxy Leader cargo ship was leased to a Japanese company from a British company that is partially owned by an Israeli businessman.

“Israel strongly condemns the Iranian attack against an international vessel,” the Israeli government said in a statement. “The ship, which is owned by a British company and is operated by a Japanese firm, was hijacked with Iran guidance by the Yemenite Houthi militia.”

The statement said that there were 25 crew members on the ship from all over the world, but none were from Israel. The 620-foot ship had left a port in Turkey and was headed to India when it was seized by the terrorists.

Trump Gains Momentum: Concerns Mount for Biden’s 2024 Reelection Prospects

/0 Comments/in , /by

A year ahead of the 2024 presidential election, a recent poll conducted by EPIC-MRA of Lansing has illuminated a challenging landscape for President Joe Biden in Michigan. The survey reveals that former President Donald Trump is leading among likely voters by a margin of 46% to 41%, adding weight to a series of polls indicating Trump’s resurgence in key swing states. The New York Times/Siena College poll released earlier this month showed a similar trend, with Trump leading Biden head-to-head in Michigan at 48% to 43%.

Michigan, often considered the most Democratic-leaning among the industrial swing states that include Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, now poses a significant concern for Democrats. If Biden finds himself trailing Trump in a state that has historically favored the Democratic Party, it raises red flags about his overall reelection prospects.

EPIC-MRA pollster Bernie Porn has sounded a cautionary note for Democrats, emphasizing the growing possibility that Donald Trump could secure another term in the White House. Porn pointed to a notable erosion in support for Biden since the firm’s last poll in August when the President held a slim 46% to 45% lead over Trump.

“I think it’s his (Biden’s) age and comparative perceptions of him versus Trump,” Porn stated. “People are dismissing the Bidenomics approach — they’re not impressed with that messaging … It could well be very difficult for Biden to do the things needed to recover.”

The concern extends beyond mere numerical data, delving into the realm of public perception and policy messaging. There seems to be a palpable disconnect with the Bidenomics approach, and the President’s ability to resonate with voters is increasingly questioned. The dynamics of this potential political shift underscore the challenges faced by the Biden administration in navigating a complex political landscape.

Argentina’s “Trump” Wins Presidential Election

/0 Comments/in , /by

Argentinians have elected as their next president Javier Milei, a self-described anarcho-capitalist whose sensational rhetoric has drawn comparisons to former U.S. President Donald Trump.

Partial election results showed Milei had 55.8% and Massa 44.2%, with 95% of the votes tallies. Should that margin hold, it would be wider than predicted by all polls and the widest since Argentina’s return to democracy in 1983.

On the campaign trail, Milei, with his wild hair and inflammatory rhetoric, pledged economic shock therapy and to slash the size of the state. He’s also indicated he would move the Argentine embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem – paralleling another move by the Trump administration.

Milei’s victory comes amid a nationwide wave of deep discontent and rising poverty. His opponent, Economy Minister Sergio Massa of the Peronist party, conceded defeat and congratulated Milei.

Argentine has been dealing with crippling inflation – above 140% – and poverty has worsened while Massa Massa’s campaign cautioned Argentinians that his libertarian opponent’s plan to eliminate key ministries and otherwise sharply curtail the state would threaten public services, including health and education, and welfare programs many rely on. Massa also drew attention to his opponent’s often aggressive rhetoric and openly questioned his mental acuity. (Read more from “Argentina’s “Trump” Wins Presidential Election” HERE)

This Video Proves That January 6th Political Prisoner Julian Khater Got a Raw Deal…

/0 Comments/in , , /by

When the left storms government buildings, torches neighborhoods for months on end, and bullies an entire country into submission for years, it’s labeled as a “peaceful protest” or “justifiable anger.” We’re expected to observe the violence with pity and self-hate, as if it’s our fault, not the fault of the thugs, looters, and vandals. However, when the right protests and things get rowdy for a couple hours, it’s immediately branded as “domestic terrorism” or an “insurrection.” This highlights a fundamental issue with our government and judicial system. They no longer serve the people; instead, they’re focused on suppressing dissent, a cornerstone of the American way of life. The contrast in response is shockingly evident with the recent violent riot by radical pro-Hamas groups on Capitol Hill. Observe this “insurrection,” and you’ll note that, at the time of this writing, only one person has been arrested, and nobody has been labeled a “domestic terrorist.” . . .

Famed investigative journalist Julie Kelly closely observed the “Hamas” situation at the Capitol, drawing parallels to Julian Khater, a January 6th political prisoner whom the regime tried to frame for murdering Officer Brian Sicknick.

Revolver has extensively covered this story, effectively debunking the media’s claim that Mr. Khater and his childhood friend “murdered” Officer Sicknick. But thanks to the onslaught of propaganda, the media headlines were as dramatic as they were shameless. . .

Eventually, the media had to abandon their “murder” claims and clumsily shift the narrative to “the MAGA assault that led to his death.”

Revolver:

The Million Dollar Question hanging over this trial in both criminal court and the court of public opinion is why these two men have been charged with assault, not murder. Recall that “murder” was both the mainstream media’s and Congress’s unrelenting meme for the first whole month following the events of 1/6, culminating in a full-on impeachment conviction at the House of Representatives.

After Revolver News and other outlets debunked the initial fire extinguisher hoax, The Narrative transitioned from “murdered by MAGA” to “died from injuries caused by MAGA.”

NeoCon Nikki Haley Needs to Be Exposed After Meeting With Globalist Rogues’ Gallery

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .Trump supporters have generally considered DeSantis to be the one to watch, but momentum is shifting. NeoCon Nikki Haley is quickly ascending to be the NeverTrumpers’ favorite, going so far as to threaten Americans’ online privacy to pander to UniParty Swamp megadonors. She’s a globalist shill, a puppet for JPMorgan, BlackRock, and the Deep State to fully own.

As much as I have learned to dislike DeSantis despite being a decent governor of Florida, my concerns about him if Trump gets taken down are small when compared to my concerns about Haley. She has the potential to be the most destructive force if she’s the nominee. She would redefine the GOP whether she wins the general election or not, taking us back to the Bush-era Republican Party or worse. And if she becomes president, it will be an unmitigated disaster.

Here is an article by Will Kessler from Daily Caller that should wake up any conservative who thinks Haley would be a better backup option than DeSantis. Rather than offering commentary about the article, I’m publishing it in its entirety and letting readers come to their own conclusions. I know how it makes me feel, but let’s see if readers hear the same alarm bells I hear. After the article, I will offer some final thoughts…

Nikki Haley Meets With BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, Other Wall Street Elites

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley met with several Wall Street executives in a series of events Tuesday in her bid to be the Republican nominee for president, according to the Financial Times.

Haley attended a small meet-and-greet breakfast in New York where CEO of BlackRock Larry Fink was in attendance, followed by a fundraiser later in the day co-hosted by Gary Cohn, former president of Goldman Sachs, according to the FT. BlackRock has been criticized by conservatives in recent years for its adoption and promotion of Environment, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) policies, which aim to invest in companies based on their commitment to social and environmental causes.

Republican-led states, like Florida and Texas, in opposition to BlackRock’s use of “woke” ESG investment, have pulled their money from the investment firm. Altogether, Republican-led states pulled almost $4.5 billion from the company in 2022.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu Rejects Biden’s Gaza Proposal (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated his opposition Saturday night to a proposal by U.S. President Joe Biden to restore control of Gaza to the Palestinian Authority (PA) once Hamas is removed from power and destroyed.

On Saturday, Biden published an op-ed in the Washington Post in which he supported Israel, though once again joining the Israeli cause to the Ukrainian one, putting Hamas and Russia in the same category as enemies of the United States.

Biden also reiterated his support for a “two-state solution” as the only answer to the conflict, and added: “As we strive for peace, Gaza and the West Bank should be reunited under a single governance structure, ultimately under a revitalized Palestinian Authority, as we all work toward a two-state solution.” . . .

“In Gaza, after the destruction of Hamas, and for a long time thereafter, there will not be a regime that encourages terror, that teaches terror, that funds terror — that also indoctrinates about the destruction of Israel and the murder of Jews — this will not be,” Netanyahu vowed at a press conference on Saturday night.

He was alluding to the PA’s record of encouraging terror, including the practice of “pay-to-slay,” in which the PA provides stipends to terrorists in Israeli prisons, and pensions to the families of terrorists killed by Israel.

Speaker Mike Johnson Releases 40,000 Hours of January 6 Footage: A Bid for Transparency Amidst Controversy (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The GOP-led House has initiated the release of over 40,000 hours of video footage from January 6, 2021, the day of the U.S. Capitol breach, in a move aimed at providing transparency and countering what some Republicans argue is a one-sided portrayal of the events. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), who recently assumed the role, announced the gradual release of footage to a dedicated website. Notably, the disclosed material excludes a small portion containing sensitive security information or details that could pose risks to private citizens.

Speaker Johnson emphasized the importance of transparency in restoring trust in the government, stating, “To restore America’s trust and faith in their Government we must have transparency. This is another step towards keeping the promises I made when I was elected to be your Speaker.” The move has garnered appreciation from some Republican lawmakers, such as Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY), who hailed the effort and expressed gratitude to the Speaker for the release.

The decision to unveil the footage comes after previous disclosure of approximately 41,000 hours of video by Johnson’s predecessor, Rep. Kevin McCarthy, to Fox News host Tucker Carlson earlier this year. The airing of previously unseen security footage showed individuals walking down hallways in an orderly manner, challenging the prevailing narrative of chaos and violence. While some criticized the disclosure to Carlson, arguing potential security risks, Johnson emphasized the need for public access, mentioning the establishment of a public viewing room for citizens to view the videos uncensored.

Acknowledging the potential sensitivities, Johnson mentioned that processing the videos would involve blurring faces to prevent retaliation and segregating about 5% of the footage that may contain sensitive security information. The ongoing effort to release footage aims to offer a comprehensive perspective on the events of January 6, with proponents of disclosure arguing that it could provide a nuanced understanding beyond the commonly portrayed scenes of violence during the Capitol breach.

Vivek Ramaswamy Engages in On-Air Clash Over ‘Vermin’ Term, Criticizes Mainstream Media Focus on Words Instead of Substance

/0 Comments/in , /by

In a recent interview on CNN, Vivek Ramaswamy found himself in a spirited on-air argument with anchor Abby Phillip over the use of the term “vermin,” a word employed by former President Donald Trump during a recent speech in New Hampshire. Trump, addressing his supporters, proclaimed, “We will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our county.” The choice of language sparked controversy and became a focal point during Ramaswamy’s interview.

Ramaswamy, a candidate and commentator, dismissed the discussion around the term as a “classic mainstream media move,” asserting that the focus on individual words often deflects attention from the substance of the issues at hand. He argued that the media tends to hone in on specific phrases used by figures like Trump without thoroughly interrogating the underlying policy concerns. During the interview, Ramaswamy pointed to the actions of groups like Antifa and related entities that, in his view, have been involved in destructive activities such as burning down cities over the past three years.

When pressed on whether he would use the term “vermin” himself, Ramaswamy initially asserted that he hadn’t used such language on the campaign trail, emphasizing the need to scrutinize his track record. However, moments later, he used the term himself while discussing conditions in San Francisco, referencing the cleanup efforts initiated by Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit.

Ramaswamy passionately argued that the media’s fixation on specific words detracts from substantive policy debates. He urged a shift in focus toward addressing critical issues facing the country, such as the situation at the southern border and the broader challenges the nation is currently confronting. Throughout the interview, Ramaswamy sought to redirect the conversation toward policy substance and away from what he perceived as the media’s tendency to sensationalize individual phrases for political gain.
