Who Perpetrated the Violence on January 6th?

Just as we were apparently not told the truth about "Russia Collusion" and the origins of Covid, neither have we been given all the information about the January 6th riots of which many in Congress were aware.

Apparently, the stories that had circulated after the riots that provocateurs such as Antifa had infiltrated the crowd and were responsible for much of the violence - stories which until now were difficult to assess - have now been confirmed by a series of videos that have recently come to light.

The videos, with commentary, can be seen here.

A government that consistently lies to its citizens for partisan reasons is illegitimate. It's not much different than totalitarian governments throughout the last hundred years which have sought to manipulate their citizens in order to consolidate and retain their own power and oppressive policies.

When people talk about draining the swamp it is ensconced bureaucrats in our law enforcement agencies like the Department of Justice and elsewhere in the executive branch which need to be drained.

Too many of these folks live by a pragmatic ethic that holds that whatever works to accomplish their aims - whether those aims be destroying their political opponents or imposing their preferred policies on the nation - is right and moral, but pragmatic ethics are incompatible with justice and have no place in a healthy republic.

If you're interested in what many on the House of Representatives January 6th committee must have known but refused to share with you, watch the videos.

Meanwhile, kudos to those in Congress who are now seeking to make transparency a reality.
