Was January 6th a Canard?

"I hope the new Congress starts up a new January 6th Committee. One which was balanced, and searching for the truth. The last commission was nothing but a sham, loaded up with ideologues who had agendas. It was filled with lies, lies and more lies." 

Oh boy. Just when you thought things could not get any more divided in our country, we now have the official tapes of January 6th, released to Tucker Carlson of Fox News. These are not doctored tapes; they are not "deep fake" tapes; they are official government tapes. The same ones used by the "official" January 6th Committee. Only out of the 40,000 hours of tapes, the "official" committee cherry picked the heck out of these tapes, and left the other side of the event, laying on the cutting room floor.

Last night, I saw a dead man walking. Literally. Brian Sicknick, who was the Capitol policeman who was "beaten to death" by protesters using a fire extinguisher, somehow came back to life, and the videos show him doing his job inside the Capitol building. But, he was dead - beaten to death. Or - as reported in other than the MSM, he died of natural causes after the January 6th event was over. 

And the QAnon Shamon, aka Jacob Chansley, was shown being very friendly with Capitol cops (and visa versa). What was he guilty of? Maybe not much. Walking around. But who cares? The Navy veteran, this patriot, is now sitting in some government prison for a four year term. Was he railroaded? I think we all know the answer to that question.

How about the murder of Ashli Babbitt? Remember her? The unarmed vet who was shot in the face by Capitol police officer, Michael Byrd? What was the punishment for Byrd? Nada. Compare that with the punishment for MSP officer Derek Chauvin, who was sentenced to 22.5 years for the death of George Floyd. Both involved one black and one white person. One was no charge, and the other was 22.5 years. Did Ashli Babbitt receive justice? Absolutely not! Was Officer Chauvin railroaded? I think many of us know the answer to that one.

I hope the new Congress starts up a new January 6th Committee. One which was balanced, and searching for the truth. The last commission was nothing but a sham, loaded up with ideologues who had agendas. It was filled with lies, lies and more lies. Think I am smoking something illegal? Watch Tucker, and then let me know what you think. Remember - these are the same tapes the commission used. Not doctored by anyone at Fox News. Just saying...
