On January 6th, 2011, a group of Americans took to the streets of Washington, D.C. and attempted to take down the Democratic National Committee. The result was one of the biggest mass protests in the history of the U.S. government cracking down on freedom and civil liberties. Patrick Delaney has done an in depth look into the fiasco, the players involved, those Americans still in prison today because of it, and where it is headed.
00:00:06.240It has been used to launch one of the most severe persecutions against freedom-loving Americans who are rightly concerned about election fraud, mandatory vaccination, and the imposition of communism in the USA.
00:00:18.560LifeSite News journalist Patrick Delaney has done an in-depth look into the fiasco, the players involved, those Americans still in prison today because of it, and where it is headed.
00:00:29.040Patrick is here to discuss it on this episode of The John Henry Weston Show.
00:01:39.540We are seeing a imposition of just the greatest challenge to our civil rights that perhaps in the history of our nation, which is going on right now.
00:01:52.300And the justification for it is this January 6th narrative of the disturbance that happened at the Capitol.
00:01:59.880And we have this media narrative, which, if you go to the right places, you can see it has been absolutely dismantled.
00:02:08.360And yet, of course, our government and our mainstream media keep the narrative going,
00:02:15.000and they use it as a justification for ever more intrusive infringements upon civil liberties.
00:02:22.400Now, what I love with this document that you produced for LifeSite News and is available at LifeSite News,
00:02:28.260it's an in-depth analysis of the whole situation,
00:02:31.820is that people can follow along and see exactly what happened and why it happened.
00:02:37.900Because amidst our media culture, which seems completely controlled, and social media as well,
00:02:44.100it's almost impossible to find what actually happened.
00:02:47.600So at LifeSite News, by Patrick Delaney, you will find this step-by-step analysis of what happened and what it means.
00:02:56.220That document that you spoke of, the new document by the Biden administration targeting conservatives,
00:03:02.620what is the language in it that you've seen that you found very alarming?
00:03:07.260They ask people to keep an eye on their family and friends and report them if they are radicalizing.
00:03:13.160And I haven't found a real definition of that term.
00:03:16.240Radicalizing, to me, means being prone to violence, right?
00:03:22.380But I think they sort of keep it ambiguous.
00:03:26.360It might just mean adopting political opinions that the government doesn't like.
00:03:31.720And that's sort of implied in the document because examples that they provide are signs that people might be radicalizing
00:03:42.540are if they are objecting to what happened with the election last year,
00:03:47.880if they believe that the election is not completely above board,
00:03:53.780or if they are opposed to the government restrictions that have happened due to the COVID pandemic.
00:04:00.820And so if somebody is speaking against these things,
00:04:03.680then it seems to be implied in the document that they could be guilty of incitement, okay?
00:04:11.400And so incitement, of course, and that can get you punished.
00:04:16.200So basically, it seems to me it's designed to freeze freedom of speech on these topics
00:04:22.700that are so crucial to where we are politically right now in our nation and the world.
00:05:22.200So he produced some great videos covering the bulk of the people who were there, the beautiful people of the United States,
00:05:32.340multiracial, predominantly Christian, very happy and energetic and hopeful and prayerful.
00:05:40.400And on one clip, I'm not sure if it was his clip, but the people are all praying to our Father at this huge rally.
00:05:49.760And so we know that they were Christians.
00:05:52.480Mixed in there, according to Jim and his excellent coverage, and a personal friend of mine told me this too when he returned to Wisconsin,
00:06:01.520were sort of militants, guys who looked like they were there.
00:06:08.340They weren't armed with guns or anything.
00:06:10.400But they were armed with perhaps shields or they had these batons and goggles and face masks and helmets.
00:06:20.540And so their demeanor was very much different from the rest of the people.
00:06:24.580Jim also caught some footage of later in the day, around 5, 6, or 7 p.m., a group of people who were, as he described them,
00:06:38.360intoxicated or high on marijuana, who were fighting the police and were tear-gassed.
00:06:48.160So there was an element there that was very much a minority of the crowd.
00:06:55.760And then if you look at some sources, and this is very important, I think maybe the best source I found was by a guy named Michael Waller.
00:07:03.480And Michael is a senior analyst for the Center for Security and Policy, and he specializes in propaganda, political warfare, psychological warfare, and subversion.
00:07:21.740And so he's an expert, and he said that he went to see what was going on at the Trump rally, and he was late.
00:07:29.960He was with a friend, and the people are already starting to process up Constitution Avenue, and he just kind of fell in.
00:07:35.200And he explained these militants as well.
00:07:38.300And he said, we're going along, and there were metropolitan police from the District of Columbia along on the curbs, exchanging kind greetings with the marchers and so forth.
00:07:52.880He said, when we got to First Avenue, when it becomes the territory of the Capitol Police, he said there were no police.
00:08:03.300And for those of us who have been to the March for Life, I remember you couldn't get anywhere near the Capitol for those marches.
00:08:11.800And so the Capitol Police, of course, are very professional at securing their building with such rallies going on.
00:08:22.280And yet, for some strange reason that day, they had seemed to forgot to do it.
00:08:27.680And there is a joint session of Congress going on, a very controversial certification of a contested election, and hundreds of thousands of people who think the result is fraudulent in the mall, and there's no adequate security for the Capitol, which is quite puzzling.
00:08:49.120And then we discover that the FBI, they actually came out and said this, they had a press conference, and it's linked in the story, where they say that, yeah, we had weeks and weeks of foreknowledge of perhaps a planned attack.
00:09:05.200Okay, and so you have to ask, well, why didn't they have security available?
00:09:13.380And then Michael Waller says that the crowd was kind of guided into the west side of the Capitol.
00:09:21.380And with the crowd coming in behind him, pouring in, it was really difficult to leave.
00:09:30.860And he had a perception of plainclothes militants, plainclothes militants who were up in front.
00:09:39.220They looked like everybody else, but they got in a tussle with the police.
00:09:42.800And when this happened, these police in riot gear came out upon the platform where they had the inaugurations, and he says they started shooting tear gas, not at the militants, but at the people.
00:09:58.440And there was nothing could be heard of a loudspeaker trying to communicate with the people or anything like that.
00:10:03.720And it turned the mood very sour among the folks.
00:10:07.980And we have a video in there linked in the story of a gentleman capturing this.
00:10:26.260And he was with a friend, Michael Waller was, and he went to leave.
00:10:30.140And as he was trying to push against the crowd to leave, there were what he called agent provocateurs.
00:10:40.840And they were standing on chairs or other elevated places, and they were telling everybody, no, go forward, forward, don't retreat.
00:10:49.820They're telling the people, don't retreat.
00:10:56.180And he said one of the guys got in his face and looked at him and said, you get back there, like he was trying to psych him out.
00:11:02.260And he just thought, this is the most bizarre thing.
00:11:05.240So you have these individuals who are directing the crowd.
00:11:10.540And then he kind of got out onto the street, and he saw what he called, let's see, what do you call these guys?
00:11:19.840He called them disciplined, uniformed column of attackers.
00:11:25.640And these were the guys who were dressed in all these military clothes.
00:11:29.400He said they were separate among the crowd, but all of a sudden they were in a column, and they were going through the crowd, and they were telling people that they were going to take the Capitol.
00:11:37.940And he said they disappeared under the scaffolding that was set up for the inauguration, and then they went into the Capitol, okay?
00:11:48.020And he said only afterwards did he realize that this was all orchestrated.
00:11:53.860And what's interesting about his written testimony is that he wrote it the evening of January 6th and the morning of January 7th, and he said, this is only what I saw.
00:12:04.980I haven't included anything from other reports, and so it had a great credibility.
00:12:11.820In fact, Ron Johnson, Senator Ron Johnson, hailing from the great state of Wisconsin here where I am, he read this letter at a Senate committee hearing on the topic.
00:12:27.000And so that was one early source of what was really happening here.
00:12:31.920And he said that these people, these agent provocateurs and these plainclothes militants and these disciplined, uniformed, column of attackers, that they were – he said it appeared that there was a prearranged plan to storm the Capitol building and to manipulate the unsuspecting crowd as cover and as a follow-on force into the Capitol.
00:12:56.120So they were trying to push them into the Capitol.
00:13:04.520Now, we understand, and as you've reported, that there are people still today in jail from the Capitol so-called riot or whatever, or insurrection, as I think the left likes to call it.
00:13:21.900Now, are those the agent provocateurs?
00:13:26.620Are those the ones who were dressed in the military clothing and going to assault the Capitol?
00:15:16.380So you have, as you said, in your story is linked Julie Kelly's reports, which have multiple cases of all sorts of individuals who really did absolutely nothing wrong per se.
00:15:29.060They followed a crowd, were let into the Capitol building by the police, as you see in those videos.
00:15:33.880Money, by the way, of which are hard to find nowadays on the internet because of all the censoring.
00:15:37.880But interestingly, they are being held accountable in this insane fashion, where, as you point out in your story,
00:15:47.560we had the whole Black Lives Matter riots, burn things down, unbelievably torched businesses, looted and everything else.
00:15:57.040And those people, even when they're found, are thought, oh, well, whatever, that's all fine and good because they're protesting something ridiculous.
00:16:03.580And not only that, what I found truly amazing was that the Capitol used to have sit-ins all the time from the left, which are just, oh, well, that's just political discourse.
00:16:14.400And yeah, of course, they're doing sit-ins, not only in the Capitol building, but in all sorts of legislatures.
00:16:20.840You have these leftist sit-ins for the environment, for whatever, whatever.
00:16:25.040But you don't ever hear of, unbelievable, they've been sitting in jail since January, all these months and months.
00:16:39.820Well, just when you were talking there about the sort of the leftist sit-ins at the Capitol, I live here in Madison, Wisconsin.
00:16:48.920And several years ago, when the state elected Scott Walker as the governor, there was leftists came from all over and they just ransacked our state Capitol.
00:17:08.220And Scott Walker, who, as governor, I remember this press conference he had, they were outside.
00:17:13.560They sounded like, you know, an army of, you know, something from Lord of the Rings.
00:17:19.400And he was saying they're all welcome here and they have a right to voice their opinion.
00:17:25.700However, I don't think they represent the majority of Wisconsinites on this issue.
00:17:30.300And so this is something, of course, these are tactics of the left that they somehow get away with.
00:17:38.940And when conservatives get lured into this situation, in fact, there was a woman, the first woman who was prosecuted, walked into the Capitol and she got a plea deal for parading in the Capitol.
00:17:53.460And I forgot what other penalties she got, but she was one of these insurrectionists, you know.
00:17:59.980So we have a real double standard of justice.
00:18:03.240I mean, it is so obvious and so frightening, really, what is happening right now in our country in that regard.
00:18:10.860And these poor people who are in jail, they are in solitary confinement.
00:18:15.140They've got one hour off a day where they can leave their cell.
00:22:24.920Imagine it was during the raid of the Wisconsin legislature when they elected the conservative that one of the security defending the place had shot one of the left-wing protesters doing God knows what.
00:26:37.320So it's a fair question because those who led the insurrection are the unindicted co-conspirators.
00:26:46.320And so Darren Beattie from Revolver News says they're going to have another report coming out, maybe by the end of the month, a major report.
00:26:55.320And maybe he'll be digging deeper into that.
00:27:01.240And the last thing he said, I thought was so apropos.
00:27:05.180He said, does the national security apparatus do anything but conspire against the American people?
00:27:11.580And he said that our politics are going to be nothing but performative until we can get the FBI and the national security state to heal.
00:27:22.440And he says we need a church committee 2.0.
00:27:26.620And that's a reference to the 1975 Senate committee hearing that investigated abuses of various intelligence agencies in the IRS.
00:27:35.080And so we have a huge task before us as Americans, and we need to pray a lot.
00:27:43.120We need to pray and we need to work together and ask the Lord's protection and the Holy Spirit's guidance in how to engage these serious injustices that are happening.
00:27:58.360I mean, we've known since, if for no other reason, the very fact that it's now public information that the FBI had the Hunter Biden laptop with all the evidence against Biden, Hunter Biden, Biden's collusion in it, all of that in there.
00:28:16.900But just let it sit and did nothing through the whole of the election, which would have negated not only the election.
00:28:24.900And I love that Jack Maxey always makes this point.
00:28:27.120He defrauded or the FBI defrauded not only just the American people, because, of course, the left never cares about the American people anyway.
00:28:34.840So he not only defrauded just the American people with the whole election, he defrauded all of the Democratic candidates who would have trounced Biden if any of that had been public.
00:28:47.780Yet the FBI sat on the information all through.
00:28:51.920There is real serious corruption going on.
00:28:54.820And that's why your appeal to prayer, it is really the answer, because these are huge, huge things that who knows how we're going to deal with them.
00:29:04.840But God bless you, Patrick, for your report.
00:29:07.660And thank you for coming on the show to discuss it with us.
00:29:17.120Hi, this is John Henry Weston, the co-founder and editor-in-chief of LifeSite News.
00:29:21.400I'm coming to you today because we want to be sure that we're communicating clearly with you, our loyal followers.
00:29:29.200Things are really heating up, as I'm sure you can see.
00:29:32.600Christians, conservatives, truth-tellers are being targeted, are being banned from social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram at an alarmingly fast rate.
00:29:45.200They are attempting to suppress any narrative that does not fit that of the mainstream media.
00:29:52.680We have been warning everyone who would listen and attempting to build up alternative platforms to continue to reach you.
00:30:01.220We have established ourselves on all sorts of platforms I'm going to explain in a minute.
00:30:05.180But the most important thing to do is come direct to LifeSiteNews.com because there we will always be.
00:30:12.840But we've also established ourselves on platforms like Parler and MeWe, and our videos can be found on Rumble as well.
00:30:20.320We would love to see each of you on those platforms too, as they are not censoring or suppressing the truth that we are sharing every single day.
00:30:28.700More than these alternative social media platforms, we highly encourage you to subscribe to our email newsletter.
00:30:36.160We have really built up a large list of loyal readers on our email marketing platform, and we have prepared several backup plans for, well, I want to say if, but it's really when, we are removed from our current platform as well.
00:30:50.980Additionally, I really encourage you, as I said before, to make it a regular habit to go directly to LifeSiteNews.com.
00:31:01.280While all of these different platforms are an excellent way to curate your news, going directly to our website means that you will never encounter any censorship or sudden loss of LifeSite News reporting.
