Biden\u2019s Toxic January 6th Demonology<\/a><\/h1>\n

Last Friday, President Biden held a White House ceremony commemorating the second anniversary of the January 6 Capitol riot. Biden showered a dozen Presidential Service Medals dozen people connected to the 2020 election or the January 6 events. Biden talked of the anniversary as a \u201cday of remembrance\u201d\u2014perhaps echoing the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.<\/p>\n

Many Americans would be happy to never hear about January 6 again. No such luck. Vice President Kamala Harris equated January 6 with 9\/11 and threw in Pearl Harbor<\/span><\/a> to score a trifecta. Biden endlessly invoked January 6 in his speeches supporting Democrats in the mid-term congressional elections. In August, Biden denounced Republicans for \u201csemi-fascism.\u201d In September, he claimed that MAGA Republicans (which effortlessly became all Republicans) \u201cembrace political violence<\/span><\/a>.\u201d In a preview of Biden\u2019s speech last week, Politico<\/i> accurately forecast that Biden will \u201cagain put center stage the danger and chaos posed by election deniers\u2026He will link Republicans to the extremists who attempted to forcibly overturn the results of Donald Trump\u2019s defeat.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since Biden is running for re-election, he will likely be perpetually flogging January 6 in his speeches between now and November 2024. Thus, it is worthwhile to have a closer analysis of Biden\u2019s speech and the continuing effort to exploit January 6 to vilify political dissent.<\/p>\n

In his White House speech last week, Biden repeated his efforts to portray January 6 as a conspiracy to destroy American democracy. Biden declared that \u201ca violent mob of insurrectionists\u2026vandalized sacred halls<\/span><\/a>,\u201d seeking to \u201coverthrow the will of the people and usurp the peaceful transfer of power.\u201d Biden repeatedly slurred his pronunciation of \u201cinsurrectionists\u201d and referred to the attacks on \u201cJuly the sixth\u201d (instead of January the sixth).<\/p>\n

Exploiting the boundless historical illiteracy of his audience, Biden declared, \u201cThe U.S. Capitol was breached, which had never happened before in the history of the United States of America, even during the Civil War.\u201d Actually, the British Army burned the Capitol down in 1814. But since none of the British were wearing furry horned hats, it would be unfair to compare their soldiers to the January 6 protestors.<\/p>\n

Seeking to vivify the viciousness of the protestors, Biden lamented that a police officer he gave an award to \u201cwas tased.\u201d Unfortunately, tasing only counts as a human rights abuse when law enforcement is on the voltage receiving end. Biden listed five police who had died (several by suicide) in the wake of January 6 but did not mention Ashli Babbitt, the only person who was gunned down and killed that day. The Capitol policeman who shot Babbitt (who was unarmed) was hailed<\/span><\/a> as a hero<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Biden, staying on script, repeated his claim that the January 6 clash \u201cwas fueled by lies about the 2020 election.\u201d And since the protestors were spurred by false claims, Biden was automatically exempted from any obligation for candor. The January 6 protestors magically become collectively guilty for anything bad that happened inside the District of Columbia for the rest of 2021.<\/p>\n

Biden declared:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cToday is a ceremony to honor heroes of January 6th, but we also recognize the late U.S. Capitol Police Officer, Billy Evans. Three months after January 6th, while they were still cordoning off the Capitol because threats these\u2014by these sick insurrectionists continued to be profligated on the Internet, again, all of America saw what happened, what Officer Evans was killed defending a checkpoint you had to go through to get up to the Capitol, because of these God-awful, sick threats that continue to move forth. And the whole world saw it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The whole world saw what? If someone relied on Biden\u2019s spiel, they would assume some wacko wearing a MAGA hat brutally killed a cop on Capitol Hill. Actually, Evans was killed by Noah Green, a black 25-year-old Nation of Islam zealot<\/span><\/a> who struggled with hallucinations and drug addiction. After Green smashed his car into a checkpoint, he leaped out with a knife and lunged at officers before he was shot and killed. The effort to blame Evans\u2019 death on the January 6 protestors epitomized Biden\u2019s \u201cclose enough for government work\u201d demonology.<\/p>\n

Biden claimed that the checkpoint was necessary \u201cbecause of these God-awful, sick threats that continue to move forth.\u201d The media has memory-holed the militarization of Washington that Biden and congressional allies ordered in 2021. More than 10,000 National Guard troops occupied much of Washington the following months and Capitol Hill was surrounded by fences topped with barbed wire. Some skeptics believed that the ominous trappings sought to frighten members of Congress to support sweeping new anti-terrorism legislation to vilify any American who distrusted Washington.<\/p>\n

The so-called \u201cTemple of Democracy\u201d looked like a Beirut bunker.<\/strong> Some members of Congress favored permanently turning Capitol Hill into the equivalent of a supermax prison. The American Civil Liberties Union recognized that Congress hiding behind a fence projects \u201cthe kind of message that heads of autocratic regimes<\/span><\/a> send by cloistering themselves away from their populaces in armored fortresses.\u201d The closing off of the Capitol illustrated how far politicians would go to exploit one day\u2019s violence for an extended shutdown of the trappings of democracy.<\/p>\n

Some January 6 protestors were violent and destructive and deserve to be sent up the river. But the Biden January 6 narrative is bolstered by endless prosecutions of folks who were little more than hapless bystanders to the violence that day. Attorney General Merrick Garland boasted last Wednesday that the January 6 \u201cinvestigation has resulted in the arrest of more than 950<\/span><\/a> defendants for their alleged roles in the attack.\u201d The total arrests far exceed the number of violent private citizens at the Capitol that day. A Justice Department press release noted, \u201c860\u00a0defendants have been charged with entering or remaining in a restricted federal building or grounds.\u201d Shades of Lee Harvey Oswald!<\/p>\n

\u201cTrespassing plus thought crimes equals terrorism\u201d is the Biden standard for prosecuting January 6 defendants.<\/strong> The FBI treats every individual charged with a January 6 offense \u201cas domestic terrorists<\/span><\/a>.\u201d Prosecutors are not formally charging January 6 defendants with terrorism because that unsubstantiated charge would be laughed out of federal courtrooms. But for Biden scoring of January 6 federal triumphs, \u201cparading without a permit<\/span><\/a>\u201d is close enough to terrorism.<\/p>\n

While Biden paints all the January 6 arrestees as deadly perils to democracy, federal judges are scoffing at histrionic Justice Department claims. The Washington Post<\/span><\/a><\/em> reported last week that \u201cjudges in U.S. District Court in Washington\u2026have gone below federal prosecutors\u2019 sentencing recommendations in more than three-quarters of the cases so far.\u201d While the Justice Department boasts of the total number of arrests, \u201conly 69 have been convicted and sentenced so far [for felonies], mostly for assaulting police or obstructing Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n

The House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack conducted many hearings and issued an 845-page report on their findings. At the behest of Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY), the committee\u2019s final report expunged criticism<\/span><\/a> of the failure of law enforcement, enraging Democratic committee staffers. This was a bizarre omission\u2014considering that even The Washington Post <\/span><\/a><\/em>condemned \u201cone of the biggest security failures in the nation\u2019s history.\u201d The U.S. Capitol Police have almost 2,000 officers and a budget larger than that of Detroit and St. Louis. However, fewer than 200 Capitol police \u201cwere deployed to interior or exterior posts at the US Capitol<\/span><\/a>\u201d January 6\u2014as if the cops were prepping for the annual visit from the Future Farmers of America.<\/p>\n

Nor did the House Select Committee show any interest in the role of federal informants or undercover agents in the Capitol clash. A year ago at a congressional hearing, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) asked senior FBI official Jill Sanborn: \u201cHow many FBI agents or confidential informants actively participated<\/span><\/a> in the events of Jan. 6?\u201d She refused to answer.<\/p>\n

Two months ago, it was revealed that the FBI had as many as eight informants<\/span><\/a> inside the Proud Boys, a far right group that has been charged with seditious conspiracy<\/span><\/a> for their January 6 violence. Suspicions have also been spurred by Ray Epps, an Arizona activist who urged people to go inside the Capitol building and boasted that he \u201corchestrated<\/span><\/a>\u201d January 6 has faced no criminal charges. Epps, a darling witness of the House Select Committee, has been accused of being an informant (which he denies<\/span><\/a>). Nor did the Select Committee push to disclose the thousands of hours of videotape from the Capitol\u2019s cameras that could resolve many of the J6 controversies. According to Darren Beatty, the founder of Revolver News, \u201cWithout federal involvement, that rally could not have turned into the riot<\/span><\/a> that it did.\u201d But we have not seen the evidence to confirm or rebut Beatty\u2019s conclusion.<\/p>\n

The January 6 prosecutions are part of a growing FBI onslaught against dissent<\/strong>. The FBI crackdown is skewed because \u201cWashington is obsessed with threats<\/span><\/a> to Washington itself,\u201d as a senior government official recently told Newsweek<\/em>\u2019s William Arkin, one of the best investigative journalists in DC. \u201cWe\u2019ve become too prone to labeling anything we don\u2019t like as extremism, and then any extremist as a terrorist,\u201d the official observed. The FBI is expanding its targeting of \u201cAnti-Government or Anti-Authority Violent Extremists (AGAAVEs),\u201d groups or individuals the feds claim \u201cintend to commit violence or criminal activity.\u201d And how will the FBI know their intentions? Trust thousands of FBI informants to gin up the evidence to keep propelling the prosecution juggernaut. And every anti-government \u201cextremist\u201d who is indicted can be portrayed by politicians as a co-conspirator with the January 6 traitors.<\/p>\n

Biden will continue to invoke January 6 (or July 6, depending on how he is doing that day) to portray himself as the only thing standing between America and utter chaos. But the Biden storyline hinges on keeping Americans blindfolded on many details that occurred at the Capitol before, during, and after that day. Biden\u2019s pitch also hinges on Americans acquiescing to federal agencies and prosecutor vilifying ever more dissenter<\/strong>s. Unfortunately, there is no reason to presume that the coverups and the demagoguery will cease working any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
