I vividly remeber the lead up to Jan 6.

I remeber the language being used by these idiots online. Coded language telling us what was going to happen.

I remeber people exposing "private" conversation histories private forums, discord's, etc where these groups were planning Jan 6 to the internet masses and telling progressives, liberals, and other left leaning people to stay away from the Jan 6 proceedings and not to show up to counter-protest. We knew from those exposed convos they planned on using any counter-protester presence as a patsy.

And of course, I vividly remeber Jan 6 and watching 3 different news streams the same time and and scouring the internet for any live streams from idiots broadcasting their shit on social media. I remeber hey gleeful those fuckers were, how they espoused that "revolution!", "Hang Mike Pence."

I also watched the Jan 6 Senate Comitte Hearings and have read through the highlights of the Final Report.

The FBI didn't entrap shit. You fuckers planned this in broad daylight. I'm gonna Look Up when you tell me not to, because I see you for the liars you are.

Of course they did, they're the FBI. The same way nearly every FOILED "terrorist plot" since 9/11 has been instigated by the FBI, and Federal informants.

FBI agents honey trapped lonely brown boys with fake online girlfriends, who then pushed them hard to commit acts of terrorism.

Do I think Congressman Dumbfuck is speaking in good faith, or even with a generally firm grasp on reality? Ha, no. Clay Higgins is easily one of the dumbest people to ever serve in Congress.

But that doesn't mean he's wrong about this one specific issue.

SmurfNuts ,

I didn't even need to read the article. I can see Clay "Dipshit" Higgins' face and know insane bullshit was spewed. The man is a fucking alcohol saturated joke and nothing he ever says should be taken into serious consideration.

ceenote ,

It's true! I heard a rumor the guy who started the whole thing was the FBI director's boss at the time!

some_guy ,

Dude, it was the director himself leading the charge. And then when all the duped "patriots" got inside he carefully snuck out and no one was the wiser. And half of them were Antifa, I almost forgot that part.

The right are so willfully ignorant that it hurts my brain.

The shit this turd is talking about is exactly what fascists and later Nazis on the right have been doing since the 1800's. Lol. More projection is all.

BigMikeInAustin ,

Wait, isn't this exactly what was done to the BLM Black Lives Matter supporter groups by anti-black people?

Remember how BLM rallies across the country kept finding pallets of bricks randomly on the streets?

For a movement that has no other organization, "somehow someone" organized to gather thousands of dollars per city to get pallets of bricks delivered to the middle of roads, and somehow police doing patrols the day before didn't question a random pallet of bricks in the street.

So, how did the conspirators manage to convince Donald Trump to make the speech and invite all those folks to Washington in the first place?

No crazier than some of the other Trump nonsense I've heard the MAGoos spout.

BigMikeInAustin ,

The 5G mind control COVID shot let "them" beam false memories to everyone.

It's very interesting how all of this mind control stuff was only done once and then disappeared. Just like the millions of migrant caravans with guns and drugs just before elections.

Dagwood222 ,

For a second there, I thought you were serious. Must be the 5G mind control...

BigMikeInAustin ,

I'm only sometimes serious. Just never call me Shirley (old Airplane The Movie joke)

Dagwood222 ,

This is a good example of how crazy the MAGoos are.

After the 'pussy grabber' tape came out, a Conservative woman went on The View TV show. One of the panelists kept saying the word 'pussy' over and over again.

The Conservative woman asked he to stop using that offensive term. It was okay for Donnie to use it, but not another woman.

I can't recall if the bricks were substantiated, but there was a man with an umbrella who was identified as a white supremacist smashing things to start riots at the George Floyd protests. I remember people on Reddit pointing the umbrella out in multiple videos.

It sounds like a conspiracy theory so here are news reports:

BigMikeInAustin ,

Yes! I remember the umbrella guy "infiltrating" BLM marches to do bad things and get BLM blamed.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


They made him the chairman of the subcommittee overseeing border enforcement, and Speaker Mike Johnson named him one of 11 impeachment managers tasked with trying to remove the homeland security secretary from office in a Senate trial set to take place next week.

This week, in a lengthy podcast interview, he expounded at length on his belief — based, he said, on his own extensive investigation and evidence that only he has been able to see — that federal law enforcement officers entrapped Mr. Trump’s supporters into violently attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6.

He laid out an outlandish story that tied the rise of the coronavirus pandemic to what he said was a plot by the government to infiltrate pro-Trump online forums and urge members to engage in “riotous” behavior, as he put it.

It was the latest reminder that, more than three years after the attack, right-wing Republicans at every level continue to spread falsehoods about what happened on Jan. 6 and are now seeking to use those lies as a rallying cry to denounce the government, promote Mr. Trump’s candidacy and rile up his supporters.

Mr. Higgins then laid out a long and convoluted theory that federal law enforcement embedded itself in various groups of Trump supporters around the country after the onset of the coronavirus pandemic — whose origins he said were suspicious on their own — riled them up and then encouraged them to go to the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Right-wing politicians and pundits have sought to spin Mr. Knowles’s presence at the Capitol into a narrative suggesting that the bureau used covert operatives to instigate the riot, but he told a very different story under oath during the Proud Boys’ seditious conspiracy trial.
