New in PJ Media:
What was the point of the Democrats’ Jan. 6 hoax? Now that Tucker Carlson has provided abundant confirmation (with more on the way) that there was no “insurrection” on Jan. 6, 2021, and that the Democrat leadership knew full well that there wasn’t even as they went full-throttle with their narrative, the question is inevitable: why? What were Leftists hoping to accomplish? Some obvious answers are that they hoped to destroy Donald Trump as a political force once and for all and discredit and demoralize his supporters. But there was clearly a larger, more insidious goal as well: the Democrats hoped with their fabricated Jan. 6 “insurrection” to create the pretext to do nothing less than destroy their legitimate opposition, not rhetorically but in a real sense, so that America would henceforth be functionally a one-party state in which only one point of view would be allowed.
In my new book, The Sumter Gambit: How the Left Is Trying to Foment A Civil War, I lay out the entire strategy, which is not just political but cultural as well. The Left has for quite some time been deploying what I call the “Sumter Gambit,” that is, trying to provoke patriots into an act of resistance that they can use as a pretext to start nothing less than a new civil war. (Kids, the first civil war started when the forces of the Confederacy, the states that had declared their independence from the United States, fired on federal troops in Fort Sumter, which is in Charleston Harbor, S.C., in April 1861.)
As I explain in the book, Leftists hope to use the very act of patriotic resistance as a pretext for an authoritarian crackdown on the alleged “insurrectionists.” Thus they believe they have created a win-win situation for themselves: either we go along with their increasingly insane and destructive cultural agenda, or if we oppose it too vehemently, they can use that opposition as an opportunity to press forward with the authoritarianism that at this point they continue to try to hide.
Leftists, however, got impatient, or they saw a big opportunity in Trump’s Jan. 6, 2021, “Stop the Steal” rally that they didn’t think they could pass up. As Tucker’s revelations continue, it may become clear that they planned the whole thing beforehand; the footage of policemen calmly escorting the celebrated Man with Viking Horns around the Capitol building certainly suggests that. The Democrats apparently got tired of waiting for Trump to prove himself to be the authoritarian dictator they claimed that he wanted to be, and decided to frame him yet again by creating an “insurrection” with the America-First president as the ringleader. Once they had their “insurrection,” they could use it to crack down on the “insurrectionists,” and that’s where things get really insidious.
There is more. Read the rest here.
Walter Sieruk says
Joe Biden is an outright liar. For Biden called that patriot rally on January 6, 2021 at Washington DC. “A deadly insurrection.”
As for “deadly” the only people who died that day were American patriots , as Ashi Babbitt and Rosanne Boyland. Neither was is a insurrection , the patriots didn’t try to overthrow the US government and they no firearms on them.
Therefore what Biden slanderously said statement that about those patriots, he lied again For Joe Biden has been lying for decades , So much so that we may be sure the he is a pathological liar and likewise being chronic liar is now part of his despicable character.
It might even be that with Biden’s fragile mental haze and he’s so self -deluded that he might really believe some of his own lies.
America surely doesn’t need anyone sitting in the Oval Office of the White House who has no concept of reality or grip on reality.

somehistory says
Mr. Calson said each part of the videos they watched was bookmarked, so he and his team could see what the liars watched.
Clearly, cheney and schiff and all the other lairs, saw the Navy Vet walking…escorted…through the building, and Officer Sicknick alive and well when they claimed he had been beaten to death and ray epps was there when he lied later and told them he was not there.
Now that the public has seen a lot more than what they were previously shown by the lying media, schumer and mcconell and romney are calling Mr. Carlson a liar and saying how dangerous he is; that FOX should take him off the air and not allow any more video to be exposed.
They set up those who wanted to see the election turn out honest, by planning to have a large crowd, angry and entering the building to cause trouble, egged on by epps and probably a lot more ‘agents’ so they could claim, insist and lie so they would have a “reason” to arrest and call these ones terrorists.
This would cause others who wanted to peacefully protest to think twice about losing their freedoms and being locked up without due process.
They wanted to keep their opponents from being elected, put a fear of the government into the honest people and thus gain power over the country as no one had ever had before.
And the liars in the media called Sen Hawley a “coward,” because the liars on the committee edited the tape of him sprinting through the building.
But, the rest of the video shows a capital hill officer leading a bunch of people running through the building…and Sen Hawley was the last one to leave.
One capital hill officer has said he called for assistance, for directions, and no one ever answered him; but when he took it upon himself to act, he was demoted; while the person who had the information., but refused to respond to the calls…a Black woman with a very weird name…was promoted.
Clearly, these liars are evil people. Even after being exposed, they are still lying and calling Mr. Carlson a liar. that rino who was on the committee, called him a liar and said because of the exposure of the videos, that means he and his evil bunch are “over the target.”
They are followers of the originator of the lie, making themselves his children.

Nancy Pelosi is despicably cunning that she no doubt had her sinister and insidious hand in that leftist sinister schemed January 6h 2021 set up against the pro-Trump American patriots of that terrible day.
This shows valid the claim by some Conservatives about the “global lefts attack on free speech” is very valid and true and seen on the horrendous affronts committed against the American patriots on January 6th 2021 who only came to Washington DC , not to engage in any so called “insurrection” but only to peacefully to gather to protest to a despicable rigged hoax of an “election.” In other words, they came to speak out by objecting to election fraud.
In which when the leftist politically correct set up. Likewise, leftist appointed Capital “police” actually waved the patriots into the federal building to engage an entrapment and deadly violence inside that Federal building and that Capital “police officer ,Byrd, viciously murdered the defenseless Ashil Babbitt in cold blood.
How completely despicable and unconscionable of those people of the left –wing.
The January 6th patriots who are the political prisoners who are denied their US Constitutional rights and also suffer many basic human rights violations under this tyrannical Biden regime. Including that of free speech.

Walter Sieruk says
This Frontpagemag, article does make mention that the “January 6 protestors, most charged with a misdemeanor, have been incarcerated nearly two years..”
It’s terrible, the peaceful, non-violent pro-Trump patriots who were unjustly and falsely arrested on January 6th, 2021, at Washington DC and then became and still are political prisoners under the Biden regime are treated much worse than those dangerous violent bloodthirsty Jihadists that are held at Gitmo.
Those political prisoners of the Biden regime the human rights abuses against the pro- Trump Patriots is horrendously brutal, cruel land unconscionable.
Likewise, US Constitutional violations against is an affront against all the American precepts of values and basic rights of human beings are detestable in the Biden America gulag.
Kepha says
Worse, we aren’t getting anything in return when we release the bloodthirsty jihadis in Guantanamo–except, I understand, a lot of them will now be susceptible to early diabetes and heart trouble (and perhaps early death) due to gaining too much weight in captivity.
What sickens me most is that the Left’s goons trashed many a city during the summer and fall of 2020; and we have a Veep who, while a prosecutor, actually helped arrange bail for arsonists and looters (including those who burned out the sweat equity of hard-working immigrant families). I also understand that in the attack on the Capitol, most milled about like tourists, and they refrained from the vandalism that is so much a hallmark of BLM and Antifa “demonstrations”.
Walter Sieruk says
What you keyboarded me had many good points. All very true.

Hoi Polloi says
The rights violations perpetrated against these defendants appalls me. Every government participant in this travesty should be jailed.
somehistory says
The “jury of their peers” should be those who have watched the videos, seen the way they edited them to scare the public and make the majority…if possible….believe their many sordid lies, but who have now arrived at the Truth.
there would be a large pool from which to choose and probably few would wish to decline being on any of the many, many juries..
Walter Sieruk says
In an Epoch Times A19 article date 2/1/23 entitled “Corrupting the legal system” about this history of Marxist political activity, the first paragraph reads “ Wielding political power to kill , torture and mete out collective punishments in an absence of legal restrained in nothing other than state terrorism ,and it is the first step taken by Communists regimes when they come to power .”
That article want written about that illegal unethical unconscionable leftist rigged set up against the pro–Trump American patriots on January 6, 2021 by Nancy Pelosi and her comrades and the political prisoners of the Bible regime from that day but that above very much applies to it.
As the top quote reads “Wielding political power to kill , torture…” Such horrendous evil of twp left –wing politically correct “police” officers who murder the peaceful ,non-violent patriots, Ashli Babbitt and Rosanne Boyland that day I use the word “police” loosely when referring to them as “police.”
Then there are political Prisoners who are held in the Biden gulag and tortured, therefore they are denied their legal US Constitutional rights that they American citizens are clearly entitled to.
That socialist subversive fiend Joe Biden with dictatorial powers and his Marxist VP Kamala Harris must be the tip of the iceberg insidious sinister treasonous villains in power in the United States government in this century.
Therefore, the way events are now heading in America, ,I’m then glad that I’m not a young man and am sorry for the children of this nation.

The ancient Greek Philosopher Plate wrote that “The measure of a man is which he does with power. Therefore the Joe Biden’s “measure’ is terribly lacking. In fact his “measure is horrendous evil. For that despicable fiendish villain who is posing as a real US President ,Joe Biden ,who is so extremely evil that he takes a large part in a heinous cover-up in the blatant murder of Ashli Babbitt, a non-violent ,unarmed peaceful patriot protestor who shot and murdered , though a closed door by a US Capital “police officer..” The words “police officer” referring to murderous character, who viciously killed Ashil in cold blood. After she and other American patriots had actually been waved in that Federal government building by some “Capital police officers” . That was a real, actual “set up” in the most horrendous, wicked insidious kind there could possibly be.
Then Biden after he officially entered the Office of the US Presidency abused that power as a Chief Executive to hide that grisly murder of this young patriot from the public, the ,law courts , and helped get that murderous off with total impunity.
This among other hideous unconscionable affront by Joe Biden reveals now more than ever before that Biden is not a genuine US President but an actual criminal.
Walter Sieruk says
Of course I meant “Plato” and not “Plate’ That’s another keyboarding error ,slip ,on my part , Nevertheless that truth still stand which is that incident of mayhem on January 6, 2021 was a left -wing schemed Nancy Pelosi ,FBI .Antifa set up.
In addition,Joe Biden is an affront to the Office of the Presidency of the United States and a disgrace to the US Constitution as well as a catastrophe for America and a disaster for the American people.

The John Birch Society long ago (circa 1960), and continuing, gave evidence that there was/is a conspiracy/plan to impose a NWO on the entire world.
Wellington says
Be very careful endorsing the John Birch Society. As William F. Buckley Jr. noted long ago, the reactionaries on the Right are no friend of what the Founding Fathers established. And so to Buckley’s eternal credit, he helped to eject the John Birch Society from mainstream conservatism. Deeply unfortunately, mainstream liberalism of old horribly failed to get rid of leftist radicalism and why it has now taken over the Democratic Party.
Both the extreme Right and the extreme Left will destroy liberty. One knows this or should know it. Conservatism has rid itself of the reactionaries even though a liar like Biden avers otherwise as all the while he and his ilk engage in putrid projection. Biden has to do this because liberalism has not gotten rid of the radicals, indeed it has been taken over by it, and both old fashion liberalism and all of America are paying the price for this enormous dereliction.
Whatever’s the matter with America, it’s nothing the radical Left can fix. Ditto for what remains of the reactionary Right. Huge difference is that mainstream conservatism remains free of reactionary thought even though the MSM, Biden and other liars would have people believe otherwise. Not so with the liberalism of old which has been hijacked by the radicals. If I don’t know this, I don’t know anything.
Reziac says
Mainstream conservatism is not doing so well itself at preserving liberty, or much of anything else. If it were, the radical left (in Buckley’s day, a minor fringe) wouldn’t be big enough to notice, let alone largely running the show.
I don’t think there’s any good or easy answer, but perpetually doing the same thing and expecting different results when the other side cheats is certainly not a plan for success.
Wellington says
I agree—mostly. Mainstream conservatism is on the defensive in many ways but at least it remains in tact and showed its strength a decade or so ago as the Tea Party movement and then under Trump as the MAGA movement. By contrast, old fashion liberalism, with which I have some disagreements (essentially wanting too much government) was nonetheless sane and patriotic but now it has largely disappeared and has been taken over by modern liberalism, call it Leftism if you like.
The one (conservatism) is still around though demonized regularly and the other (old fashion liberalism) is pretty much gone with the wind. Conservatives aplenty still have guts but, as Dennis Prager has often noted, whatever old fashion liberals are still around they have descended overwhelmingly into a kind of perpetual timidity.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
The reaction of people like McConnell just proves that there really is a uniparty, when even after these disclosures, there are Republicans who still are taking the side of the Dem partisans. In other words, there is a major purge that remains to be had within the GOP so that all the frauds like McConnell, Graham and so on are shown the door
I also don’t see how Speaker McCarthy can get all those people wrongfully imprisoned released, since the Senate and POTUS still have their say on it

“Something happened” on Jan 6th and Carlson cherry picking the videos to show only the peaceful “sightseers” while ignoring the violence won’t cut it.
Carlson has totally discredited himself over the Dominion Voting machine issue anyway.
Wellington says
The cherry picking was done by those claiming that J6 was an insurrection and a greater threat to democracy than 9/11 and Peral Harbor—absurd claims. The vast majority who entered the Capitol on J6 engaged in no violence whatsoever. A few dozen did and this was certainly wrong and deserving of punishment but deceivers aplenty, including the stacked J6 Committee, put forward the false narrative that the violence was most everywhere when it was not.
Moreover, those pushing the false narrative that J6 was an insurrection lied about and distorted many things, including Officer Sicknick’s death, Chansley’s role, Ray Epps, Senator Hawley, Nancy Pelosi’s role, Byrd’s shooting of Babbitt, et al. Yes, there has been cherry picking and Tucker Carlson should get much credit for pointing out who the cherry pickers have been. Also, in 2020 over 500 major riots which caused billions of dollars of damage across America and with over 1000 police officers injured were cheered on by the very people who pushed the bogus narrative of J6. This included Kamala Harris who provided bail money to get violent thugs out of jail and Nancy Pelosi who said in the midst of these highly destructive riots, “I don’t know why there aren’t more uprisings. Maybe there will be.”
Wake up, Rarely.
Rarely says
Interesting perspective. Did you watch the videos of the riot or just hear about them? It appears that most of the “visitors” to the Capitol on Jan 6th were peaceful and simply wished to demonstrate their support for Trump’s Big Lie BUT there were many, many more than “a few dozen” who were involved in an actual attack.
I’m sure you’ll be able to find those tapes on line if you are so inclined.
Parts of London were not damaged during the Blitz of 1940. Showing film of undamaged areas isn’t evidence that there wasn’t a Blitz.
Wellington says
I’ve watched those videos many, many times, courtesy of such people as the liars on the stacked J6 Committee. And I stand by what I stated earlier and that is not very many actually engaged in any violence. The overwhelming majority did nothing more than walk around, sit down, perhaps climb a wall and that’s about it. Compared to the massive violence in the Summer of 2020 and which was encouraged by one Democrat after another, what happened at the Capitol on J6 was a tempest in a tea pot—and it only lasted about three to four hours and with many Capitol police escorting people.
Also, it is not a lie that the election of 2020 was highly fraudulent. From Wisconsin to Georgia to Pennsylvania etc. all kinds of highly suspicious irregularities took place, including the very convenient fact that Biden only got more urban votes than Obama or Clinton did in the cities in the six key swing states. I would also note that the very people in the forefront of saying that it has been debunked that the 2020 election was stolen are the very same people in the Democratic Party and MSM who told us for years that the 2016 Trump campaign colluded with Russia for which absolutely zero evidence exists. Again, wake up.

It’s all a conspiracy to those who continue to mistakenly believe that the election was stolen and DT won. Still going with the Dominion Voting machine conspiracy too?

Mr. Carlson didn’t need to show the ones breaking windows and doing other wrongs….although he did in fact, play some of that…because those had already been shown over and over and over.
Mr. Carlon showed what hadn’t been shown to the public…only seen by the liars who actually did “cherry pick” certain portions in order to deceive and mislead and try to prove their lies were true.
we’ve looked at “both sides now,” from lies and Truth, from win and lose, we’ve looked at both sides now..
It’s the time to release all those arrested for the crimes they didn’t commit.
And it isn’t ‘trespassing’ if someone who has the authority or right to allow entrance, allows entrance. Which the cops did.

I watched….on just about every outlet…cnn, nbc, cbs and abc as well as fox. I like to see all sides before I de cide.
There were crowds….huge crowds….large enough that the one cop was in fear and kept asking for directions on what he should do. His name, Tarik Johnson….who never was called as a witness. And he never received any directions as to what he should do that day.
At some point, he went out into the crowd and a guy handed him a red ball cap…maga…and he wore if tor a little while to make it safely through the crowds…per his own words….and he was never called to testify.
He’s the same guy who led the senators out of the building…the crowd that ran ahead of Sen Hawley…and he was demoted for his actions.
Now, I’m sure you;ll be able to see the “rest of the tapes online” if you want to see the whole story and not just the liars side.

Wellington says
Seconded. Hell, Rarely is so ignorant and snookered he doesn’t even realize that Lefties aplenty questioned the efficacy of the Dominion voting machines again and again even into early 2020 (and as detailed by Mollie Hemingway in her tome, “Rigged”—and which Rarely refuses to read by his own admission). But once the bogus Biden was “elected” President, thereafter those who doubted Dominion were henceforth characterized as participating in the “Big Lie,” for instance by someone like Rarely.
There could be found many people more snookered than Rarely has been. But Rarely has been fooled enough and fools being fooled rarely (excuse the pun) ever come to realize this.
Rarely says
Interesting perspective.
I have no idea if the Dominion voting machines were “rigged” other than the total absence of any evidence that they were rigged. But, of course, they could still have been,
However, it appears that Carlson and his cronies at Fox didn’t believe they were rigged and still pushed that narrative to the limit apparently out of fear of retribution from DT.
What other narratives of a “fixed” election were they pushing that they did not believe in.
Jan 6th was a weird event. There were some pretty bad actors there without a doubt. Certainly many (if not most) in the crowd were totally not violent BUT let’s not lose perspective of what they were protesting and hoping to achieve — pressuring VP Pence NOT to certify the election results.
BTW. I’m not a left-winger and am as critical of Biden as anyone. I’m against all this gender garbage and the sexual nonsense going on in many schools. Just because I don’t buy election fraud without definitive proof shouldn’t label me. That FOX supported conspiracy theories THEY didn’t believe themselves is very telling.
Wellington says
You miss a lot, Rarely, and I have other things to do than to waste time responding again to your ignorances, but I will note one matter that, in typical “Rarely” mode, you distorted yet again.
Here it is: At no point in my commentaries above did I state that Dominion voting machines were rigged in the 2020 Presidential election and that there’s proof for that. What I did state was that many on the Left up to the Spring of 2020 did very much question the integrity of Dominion until it became “unnecessary” to do so once Dominion was on the side of Biden—and as Mollie Hemingway in her work “Rigged” details, but of course you won’t read her work anymore than all those Islamophiles out there won’t read the works of Robert Spencer.
And Hemingway’s work, “Rigged,” which you really should read (hey, what are you afraid of?—and besides wouldn’t it be delicious for you to shred Hemingway’s work?—and I dare you to do so), is not about Dominion per se, it’s about the entirely corrupt electoral process now existent in America which is utterly destroying faith in American elections, as revealed by poll after poll, and which sounds the death knell, if this continues, for America in virtually every respect. Without honest elections, and elections that are seen and known to be honest, democracy cannot survive.
