RFK Nails It Again: J6 Was The Big Lie of the Beltway Ruling Class, Not A Democracy-Threatening “Insurrection”

Donald Trump's presidency effectively ended in the midst of a cockamamie riot in the US Capitol Building. On the evidence, it was essentially a happenstance outbreak of blind mob mayhem enabled by piss poor policing by the amateur cops who are pleased to call themselves the Capitol Police. Nothing that happened during that five-hour melee remotely resembled the violent insurrection against American democracy it's now cracked up to be.

But like in almost everything else nowadays, this beltway insider's narrative has supplanted reality. Completely. Absurdly.

As usual, however, RFK has seen through the subterfuge. The entire Congressional investigation, related mainstream media "insurrection" narrative and the vicious prosecution of the pro-Trump protestors who stumbled into the Capitol's open doors on January 6, 2021, is just another instance of the weaponization of the machinery of justice.

On Friday, however, Kennedy issued a statement reaffirming his alarm about how the Department of Justice has proceeded against Jan 6 participants. “I am concerned about the possibility that political objectives motivated the vigor of the prosecution of the J6 defendants, their long sentences and their harsh treatment,” wrote Kennedy. 

Kennedy said that, if he is elected, he will appoint a special prosecutor to investigate whether powers were abused for political advantage, and to "right any wrongs" that are found. He also gingerly questioned the notion that Jan. 6 represented an "insurrection," a term embraced by many mainstream media outlets, including the Washington Post: 

“I have not examined the evidence in detail, but reasonable people, including Trump opponents, tell me there is little evidence of a true insurrection. They observe that the protestors carried no weapons, had no plans or ability to seize the reins of government, and that Trump himself had urged them to protest ‘peacefully.'"

His questioning of the official Jan 6 narrative isn't new. In March of 2023, he said his then-fellow Democrats had "an obsession" with the event. In October, he pointedly ridiculed the idea that the protesters and rioters were in any position to take over the government: "What’s the worst thing that could happen? Right? I mean, we have an entire military, Pentagon, a few blocks away." 

That's exactly right. The United States government is the most lethally armed organization in the history of mankind. The very idea of an "insurrection" against it that is worthy of the term, therefore, implies extensive pre-planning, preparatory rehearsals, secret communications networks, detailed D-day organizational protocols and maneuvers, publicly announced manifestos and demands and, of course, the marshalling of an extensive array of arms, ammo and armor.

Alas, review all 14,000 hours of camera footage between noon and 8 PM on J6 if you will, but you will find scant evidence---nay, no evidence at all---that any of these rudiments of an "insurrection" were even remotely present at the US Capitol Building that day.
