Biden’s “Extremist MAGA” Claims Lie on Dubious, Opaque Foundation
Unity would be served by releasing the 1/6 tapes
It’s now been a few days since Joe Biden stood in front of an ominously lit Independence Hall and declared nearly half of Americans as backward-looking dangers to America itself. (Before moving on, check out CNN’s real-time editing of the color scheme to make the video seem less ominous. Probably just a private company making a private decision! Best without sound.)
In the speech, Biden claimed that real Americans must unite against the extremist threat posed by ‘MAGA Republicans.’ He made an attempt to thread the needle to separate ‘good’ Republicans (like Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney) from Trump supporters (more on that later), but the underlying tone was clear: Because of January 6th, MAGA supporters promote political violence, and that is completely unacceptable. This is the entire foundation of everything that follows, so it’s worth actually checking out.
To do this, we need to look closely at the events of January 6th. First, it’s important to note that the ‘breach’ of the Capitol prevented the presentation of election fuckery. Congress wasn’t assembled to simply rubberstamp the election results, as the Democrats in 2016 seemed to understand. Plenty of people had serious questions about the results of the elections, and for good reason (we'‘ll get to that, too).
January 6th was billed as a way to support the politicians who were asking questions about the election. “Stop the Steal” wasn’t about overturning a fair election — it was about pointing out the election that we just had wasn’t fair. Everybody in the entire country knew about the 1/6 rally in DC. The people who listened to Trump speak and walked to the Capitol literally walked by FBI HQ. Yet the story we’re supposed to believe is that the FBI had no idea what was coming — a story questioned by both Glenn Greenwald and anybody else who knows the history of the FBI. Heck, an NYT reporter was caught on tape talking about how many federal assets were on the ground — yet that kind of stuff never makes it into the paper.
Literally everybody that I know wants the government to release ALL the footage of 1/6 and charge everybody who committed a crime — but FAIRLY. The political persecution of 1/6 defendants should be offensive to all Americans. And I’m sure I’m not the only person who would like some sort of explanation of this video other than “Shut up”.
If the left had any foresight, they might be asking if they’d want such harsh rules used against them by Donald Trump or Ron DeSantis. (Of course not, judging by the way they cried about federal agents arresting them while hiding behind pregnant women after they were trying to burn down a federal courthouse.)
So when we talk about 1/6, the first question we ask should be:
“If these people are so dangerous and a threat to democracy, why not release all the January 6th footage?”
But if you ask that, you get silence (or name calling). And the reason for that is simple — there’s no answer that makes them look good. They have seen the footage. If it were as violent and insurrectiony as they claim, it would be all over the news just like the same tired photos they blast out every time they’re lamenting MAGA extremism (53 seconds into the video in this case):
If there were worse images out there from 1/6, we would certainly have seen them (over and over). Yet the media doesn’t seem to be interested in getting to the bottom of 1/6 OR the underlying issue: the 2020 election. And thanks to Alex Berenson and others, we know that the government is in regular communication with giant social and traditional media outlets about the ‘proper’ narrative to follow. I love Alex, but if they are in communications to squash a little fish like him, they are CERTAINLY in communications to squash the most important stories of the day. There’s no doubt that (if we were allowed to see the communications of our public servants) we’d find ‘don’t cover this story’ or ‘ban this guy’ memos surrounding both the coverage of Election 2020 AND the coverage of 1/6 — just like we’re (still) learning about the Hunter laptop story.
Ultimately, Biden’s statement about MAGA Republicans being a unique threat is based on the very dubious (but potentially easily proven, if the footage backs it up) claim that 1/6 was an attempt to overturn a free and fair election. If it was shown (through footage) that 1/6 was nothing close to an ‘insurrection’, the entire narrative would crumble and Americans would see that political violence has been coming from the left for years, as the ‘leaders’ cheer it on for political gain. After all, cities weren’t boarded up on election night in case Biden won.
Biden’s narrative would also crumble if Election 2020 were to be proven to be…….let’s say…..fortified. Shouldn’t we ALL protest a rigged election? (Democrats would, that’s for sure) As Sam Harris recently disgustingly said, it wouldn’t matter if Biden had dead kids in his history, Trump must be stopped. “It’s not collusion if it’s out in the open” is a strange line to take when it comes to ‘protecting democracy’, but his attitude was (and still is) pervasive throughout the media (likely because of the payoffs and/or threats).
So let’s flash back to election night, the foundation holding the 1/6 claims — which is the foundation holding the “MAGA extremist” claims. After four years of attacking Donald Trump — even promising to impeach him before he ever took office — the results are rolling in. And they’re not looking good.
Trump is blowing out expectations. It’s clear he’s going to roll to victory. Do we think that these people would just sit back and respect the votes of the people? What are you morally justified to do to stop LITERALLY HITLER from winning? Would you take advantage of the (illegally) recently created dropbox rules that prevent a real investigation to the ballot in the bottom of the box — even if it meant suspiciously stopping the vote counting just before Trump claims enough states to win? After all, lots of good money was spent to ensure dropboxes were there if they were needed.
Allowing Trump to win would ruin everything you’ve been working toward — so you ‘find’ exactly enough ballots in exactly the right places to swing exactly the right states, right when you need to find them.
While the media pretends the election was a blowout, (Or as some people say, “We had an election, it wasn’t particularly close, and now Joe Biden is president.”) the state-by-state numbers show just how close it was. About 20,000 votes in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin, with Pennsylvania about 80,000 votes in a much larger state. Those 57 Electoral College votes were more than enough to swing the election.
Do we honestly think that these votes couldn’t and/or wouldn’t be manufactured after the polls closed and the numbers started rolling in? (This is exactly what the data suggests, with Biden getting swing-state after-polling-close votes in ratios not seen anywhere else in the country. Anywhere. In. The. Country.) Especially with new rules that blanket the countryside with ‘legal’ ballots that haven’t been (and obviously won’t be) counted? If this were happening in another country and led to somebody like Saddam Hussein winning an election, there’s no doubt that we would decry the election as fraudulent.
At this point, we’ll never know for sure what the real outcome of the 2020 election was. (IMO) The goal of the ‘covid’-based election rule changes was to insert so many holes into the system that outright fraud could never be detected. A Wal-Mart employee doesn’t have to be a brilliant mastermind to steal from a multi-billon-dollar employer, he just has to recognize the holes in the system. In the same way, you don’t have to be brilliant to steal an election, you just have to know where those holes are — which is especially easy when you JUST put those holes into place.
For these reasons and others, Election 2020 is surrounded by questions that, in the past, the media would LOVE to talk about. Remember how they used to endlessly break down demographics and election numbers and model that into spewing bullshit for 24 hours a day? Nobody is interested in running a deep dive into how Biden managed to pull out a victory when nearly all the bellwethers were against him. Pretty strange for the Most Popular President Ever™.
Even without viewing the paperwork, the command to the media is clear — Do not talk about Election 2020 unless it’s to talk about how much of a blowout it was OR to tie it to 1/6 political ‘election deniers’.
Instead of answering the obvious questions about Election 2020 and being the promised uniter, Biden put up walls in Washington DC and slandered anybody who has the audacity to question what we all KNOW was a shady serious of election night events. He calls anybody who voted for his opponent a danger to the country, and locks up people who actually showed up to protest the shady election — sending a clear message to everybody else. He uses the FBI to attack parents going to school board meetings and uses the ‘election denier’ smear exactly as he used ‘anti-vax’.(Bonus note: the media isn’t looking into vaccine injuries, and it’s likely for the same reason they didn’t look into Hunter, the election, or 1/6!)
And the bought-off media is happy to further advance the narrative, in disgusting fashion:
So even though Joe Biden is forced to walk back his claims for political reasons, the presstitutes are happy to say it: My political enemies are EVIL, and it’s not only MORAL to fight them, it’s my DUTY (and yours!) to do so! Because they call us names like fascist, we’ll use the government to label them domestic terrorists and maybe steal their bank accounts!
Notice how the ‘news anchor’ agrees with everything this guy says! This is how you relentlessly push a narrative, and you can see it if you watch the news for any amount of time at all. Repetition. Agreement. Don’t you want to be on our side, too?
Pretty soon it’s ‘common knowledge’ that the election was the cleanest election ever and ‘election-deniers’ want to destroy America. Soon ‘everybody knows’ that 1/6 was a swarm of Nazi MAGA Republicans who must be attacked. The latest example is — and this really takes balls — claiming that it was REPUBLICANS who kept schools closed.
Just stop for a second and think about what you have to believe to make this work in your head: Democrats wanted to open all the schools but only managed to do it in Republican-controlled areas, not in the places controlled by Democrats. You literally have to think that Republicans were able to close schools in California and New York yet the Democrats were able to keep the schools open in North Dakota. Oh, and you have to forget about ALL of this:
It seems ridiculous that they could get away with this blatant reversal, but with the media backing them up, there’s seemingly no limit to the amount of bullshit they can get Americans to believe. Just look at what they’ve already done to questions surrounding Election 2020 and January 6th.
But just in case there remained any doubt at all that this latest Biden move is completely political, remind yourself that all throughout the country, the DNC has been financially backing MAGA Republicans — because they believe such Republicans will be easier to beat come election day (Mainly due to the relentless narrative discussed earlier). In many of these races, the DNC spends more than both actual candidates COMBINED.
If you really, really thought that MAGA candidates were a threat to the existence of the Republic, why on earth would you be BANKROLLING THEIR CANDIDANCIES?
Like every other move made by this administration, it’s pure politics. And a decent media would be shouting these questions from the mountaintops, demanding answers. Instead you have me. It’s a sad state of affairs.
After reading your essay, I got annoyed with myself because I had conveniently forgotten some of the truths you pointed out with the election and how easy it had become for me to try to forget some of the subtleties of just how dangerous and easily the election was being stolen.
But, you haven’t let up and you’re steadfast. Thank you for that.
Brilliant post.
Releasing the 1/6 videos is right up there with releasing what they were looking for in Mar-a-Lago. To do so would be to reveal their actual purpose. And we can never allow that to happen!
