Analysis. We had dinner last night at a local restaurant where CNN was on the big screen over the bar the entire time.  I was gobsmacked.  As if the riots occurred the day before, continuous coverage of the January 6 events rolled endlessly across the screen for the entire 2 1/2 hours.  Do people sit in front of their television and watch hours of this simulation on a loop?

Once home, I quickly checked CNN again:  4 1/2 hours later and still going!

As you watch the January 6 Inquisition, ahem, hearings, it is imperative to rightly acknowledge what you are seeing — and not seeing.

First, America has carefully designed an adversarial system of justice.  This means anyone charged with a crime has clearly enumerated rights which include: the right to confront their accusers, the right to make a defense, the right to present and scrutinize evidence, the right to cross-examine witnesses, and the right for opposing parties to freely challenge one another as a judge presides.

These hearings are the exact opposite of a trial and adhere to none of our formularies of law or justice.  Instead, it is a carefully produced media montage fertilized with a fierce political purpose.  I am not saying you shouldn’t watch it. I am saying be aware of what you are watching.

Not only are these hearings a sham simulation, the committee itself is governmentally illegitimate.  The ranking minority leader was not permitted to appoint a single member and the only two Republican members were appointed by the majority leader.

Allow me to state the obvious before continuing:  I unequivocally condemn any rioter who broke any law at the Capitol on January. 6.  It is confounding this needs to be stated, but there it is.

Second, as the assertions are made and video clips replayed, be sure to ask some basic questions — questions that have been wholly avoided so far.

Why did Speaker Pelosi, who has jurisdiction over the DC Capitol Police, and Mayor Bowser deny and reject the President’s offer to send a thousand National Guard troops to help secure the Capitol during the day’s proceedings?

What is the status of the investigation of the alleged pipe-bombs?  With over 14,000 hours of surveillance video, surely there is a hint who placed these devices at the RNC and DNC headquarters?  Why did the government attempt to cover up that Kamala Harris was not at the DNC during the time the alleged pipe bombs were found?

They used geospatial data to knock down the doors of innocent tourists in pre-dawn FBI raids, but can’t find the actual terrorists who placed these alleged bombs with the intent of blowing up government buildings and killing innocent people?

Were these lethal, detonatable devices or decoy duds designed to distract?

They keep telling us people were killed at the Capitol. Consider this:  How many of those arrested have been charged with murder?  The answer is roughly between minus one and one and rhymes with Nero.

How did Rosanne Boyland actually die?

Why was the name of the officer who executed Ashley Babbit fiercely concealed until persistent journalists revealed it?  Are you comfortable that Lt. Michael Byrd exercised proper and legal use of force given there is video footage of Ashley being welcomed into the Capitol by DC Police?

Meanwhile, we are forced to watch countless clips of Jacob Chansley playing dress-up in the Rotunda.  (Jacob was not charged with assault nor destruction of property yet was sentenced to 41 months in prison after an extended and illegal solitary confinement.)

Which media publications corrected their original reporting that Officer Brian Sicknick was bludgeoned to death by Trump supporters?  (His cause of death was not bludgeoning nor was it related to tear gas or poison.)

How comfortable are you with the FBI, DOJ, DOD, CIA, NSA, CSS, etc?  Are we comfortable with the number of doors broken down in the wee hours of the morning by tactically armed teams of agents?  Most of the people hauled away had no prior record and did not enter the Rotunda that day.

If you have read the opening chapter of The Gulag Archipelago, you should have chills right now.

Is this committee carefully explaining to us why dozens of fellow American citizens are still being held in deplorable, solitary confinement under “Pre-trial detention orders?”  These cases continue to be intentionally delayed, some toward the end of 2022.  (The Gulag Archipelago.  Ibid.)

Why was instigator extraordinaire Ray Epps not charged with incitement of a riot, violent entry, or obstruction of an official proceeding?  You can readily watch footage of Epps demanding that protestors must enter the Capitol. Isn’t that the precise definition of incitement?

If that wasn’t convincing enough, Epps later made good on his rallying cry and violently led the charge through the first breached barriers.  (Note: While DC Police attempted to restrain Epps’ warriors on the West side of the Capitol, Brandon Straka recorded a video of police removing barriers and welcoming people into the Rotunda on the East side.}

Epps was barely questioned while Straka was wrongly imprisoned and now faces three years of probation.  He was also placed on the terrorist watch list.

Straka never entered the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Why were  hundreds of undercover FBI agents commingling with the crowds that day?  Do you remember when Gov. Whitmer’s alleged “kidnappers” were announced and arrested?  (Hint:  It was the day early voting began in Michigan.)

Be sure to know the final rulings and verdicts in the Whitmer case and how the FBI was exposed and humiliated for entrapment.

As you watch, keep in mind the primary reason why angry people gathered in DC on Jan. 6 in the first place.  They gathered to protest the numerous illegalities and profound anomalies of the 2020 election.

Whether you have personally taken the time to research both the machine and ballot issues or not — no one should accept the dereliction of our press and justice departments to ignore and dismiss blatant corruption, fraud, and illegal processes of our election system.

The more the regime attempts to gaslight half of the country, the further from healing we drift.

If 2020 was the safest, most secure election in American history, why is irrefutable evidence swatted away with bogus debunked stickers?

Perhaps the most important question to ask is this:  If American citizens were incited to riot by false claims of election fraud, why haven’t Mike Lindell, Catherine Englebrecht, Dinesh D’Souza and Gregg Philips been arrested and charged with the appropriate crimes for propagating the evidence that continues to fuel suspicion?

Seems to me they should have been the first to be arrested in this draconian dragnet.  Then again, maybe the grand puppeteers know full well that a prime-time trial held in a court of law would fail and cause an insurrection of a different feather.
