The credibility, audience and influence of the legacy corporate media (and the Pulitzer Prize) continues to shrink every day. It's sad to watch but heartening and exciting watch how rapidly independent journalists (like you) using new platforms are gaining much of the credibility, audience and influence being lost by the likes of the WAPO. Keep up the great work!

Great article and video reminder of how horrible the corporate media and these politicians are. Operation Mockingbird through and through.

If you haven't seen it before, Darren Beattie and Mike Benz have done great work at highlighting all the ways January 6th was a federal entrapment scheme and operation.

But it's also important to remember the context of protesting while the 2020 protests were still fresh in our collective memories. BLM and antifa mobs went on a months long rampage of abusing cops, looting, and torching neighborhoods. Official estimates are that about 20 people were killed. Media and politicians celebrated these events and promoted bail funds to get the worst of the protesters back out onto the streets as quickly as possible.

Even after months of media coverage pretending this type of protesting was normal, getting Jan 6th protesters to misbehave required an army of instigating informants and undercover feds, and very abusive crowd control tactics on the part of the Capitol Police to spark any reaction. And even then, the only people that died that day were protesters getting shot or beaten to death by cops.

People like Klobuchar still lying about what happened that day are disgusting.

Actually, no one died of an overdose on January 6, 2021. That person was crushed and bludgeoned by a Capitol Hill Police Officer, who broke her baton by hitting Rosanne Boykin's head.
