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.
On Sept. 1, 2022, in a nationally televised address, Old Joe Biden revealed the next part of the Left’s strategy. In a dark, threatening speech before an ominous red-and-black background and flanked by two Marines in full dress uniform, Biden declared that “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” The message couldn’t have been clearer: the establishment Left, entrenched in power in the United States but deeply afraid of losing that power, was intent on criminalizing political opposition. Dissent from Biden’s agenda, and you could end up with the thought police breaking down your door at four a.m.
“Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal,” Biden complained. “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” After making this frankly authoritarian statement, the corrupt senescent liar in the White House had the unspeakable audacity to add, “But I’m an American president — not the president of red America or blue America, but of all America.”
No, that was exactly what he wasn’t — not any longer, if he ever was. He effectively resigned from that position with that Sept. 1, 2022, speech. He was not the president of Americans who wanted to see a strong, independent, self-sufficient America and a leader who put America and its citizens first. He was at war with those Americans, and he still is.
Back on March 23, 1933, before he became the world’s universal symbol for the embodiment of evil, German chancellor Adolf Hitler spoke before the Reichstag, urging it to pass the Enabling Act, which would give him dictatorial powers. He said that this was urgently needed in light of an imminent threat to the nation. Hitler claimed that in 1918, Marxist organizations had seized power in Germany, leading to “a time of boundless misfortune for Germany, that is to say, the working German Volk [people].” But he assured the Reichstag deputies that “the German Volk itself has increasingly turned away from concepts, parties, and associations which, in its eyes, are responsible for these conditions.”
Sound familiar? These were the same rhetorical notes Biden sounded during his ominous speech branding Trump and his supporters as enemies of the state. The resonances were real and ominous. For the first time in over two hundred years of American history, a president had declared that his primary political opposition stood outside the bounds of acceptable political discourse. The logical next step was the one Hitler took: He blamed one of his strongest adversaries, the Communist Party, for the Reichstag fire, and outlawed it accordingly. With the Communist deputies barred from being present, the Reichstag passed the Enabling Act, and Germany’s unfortunate fourteen-year experiment with a representative republic was over.
But that couldn’t possibly happen here. Could it?

“What was the point of the Democrats’ Jan. 6 hoax?”
It was a coup against a duly elected President of the United States–Donald Trump. The so-called ‘insurrection’ was designed to stop the CHALLENGES being made to the counting of fraudulent electoral votes from those States where the election was stolen (there was fear that the challenges might succeed, and the challenges had to be stopped). I myself have no doubt that Pelosi, Schumer and probably others like McConnell knew all about this scam beforehand. When the present Congress finishes its real investigation, I think that we will all know that the bad actors on January 6 were Antifa types engaged in a ‘false flag’ operation at the behest of the Marxist D’rats with the assistance of the FBLie and other Federal alphabet agencies. But one thing about lies–the truth will ALWAYS come out, sooner or later! The Marxist D’rats must now be terrified! I myself hope that the result will be that the Marxist D’rats are utterly destroyed as a political force in the United States!
David Ray says
We know AntiFa street-trash were there. They had been sporadically harassing/attacking Trump supporters unchecked as early as Jan 5th.
The scheming liar Nancy knew the set-up had a high chance of success. Hence, she had a personal video crew ready to record her staged reaction. (Almost as staged as AOC’s photo-op at a chain link fence in a vacant lot – posing as a “detention center”)
Mo de Profit says
It was, without a shadow of doubt, organised by the leftist elites.
Marlow says
It was “without a shadow of a doubt” incited by the treason gorilla Trump and carried out by treason monkey traitors with combined IQs of 25.
Mo de Profit says
Still suffering from TDS, try another booster injection.
Marlow says
Hey man, you want to plump for treason, that’s your business.
Steve says
A collective IQ of 25 still gives them a substantial mental edge over Joe Biden, even the pre-dementia Joe Biden. Even if you throw in Auntie Maxine, Hank Johnson, Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and the cast of “The View”.
Marlow says
Biden is smarter than you think. Certainly smarter than a mob of fascist hicks and their demented treason gorilla god emperor.

Banastre Tarleton says
The Dem-Bolsheviks don’t need to forment a civil war as a pretext to crush MAGA forces as they have already won by using Covid to push for mail in voting, thereby corrupting the voting system beyond repair
By mailing out a flood of ballots to all asundry , then sending out a small army of ”community organisers” to collect them by nefarious methods they have found a way to rig elections
They tried it first in 2018, then they succeeded in 2020 of cheating Trump, then in 2022 they did it again just to prove they can .
The fact is that the REPs are not going to win another national election and just to reinforce the point they have opened up the southern border to invite a Third World invasion in anticipation for an eventual illegal amnesty and migrant coup d’et
Sensible folk are reading the writing on the wall, insomuch, there needs to be a national divorce and a declaration of ”States Rights ” ASAP to salvage what can be saved from the former United States of America , and there needs to be a ”pragmatic partition ” of the country, something akin to what happened with India/ Pakistan in 1947
What has gone so wrong in America cannot be fixed by an election, even if they were not corrupted, as there has been a radical transformation of the national mind-set by the radical Left in control of the MSM , the Universities /schools and their ”Long march through the institutions” !
THE USA needs to RIP
James Keir Baughman, Author/Publisher. says
Exactly! All true. Only one hope, is to correct the unconstitutional viciously un-American voting changes made in the 6 big swing States. These corrupt changes were made by Dem lawyer Marc Elias, his Bolshevik-Jacobin Communist Democrat/CPUSA Party via 300 lawsuits before pre-chosen judges of their same Communist ilk. Otherwise, a State separation from this Communism, ala 1861, is obviously the only thing left worth fighting for.
Banastre Tarleton says
Even if the election process were to be reformed (very unlikely when we have a Una party) then we’d still have the enormous problem of nearly half the population indoctrinated with cultual marxism and seduced by nefarious Hollywood .. the recent governor’s race in Virginia was very troubling as nearly 50% of the population were still willing to vote for the radical Dem -Bolsheviks after everything that has happened
”The past is another country; they do things different there ”
The Canadian, MARY STEYN probably has the most prescient and accurate views on the future of the US that are, unfortunately, darkly pessimistic … THE USA is infected with a Marxist cancer that has metastisised ; we need to move quickly to save what can be saved by political amputation of the diseased areas while we still can
Banastre Tarleton says
Sorry its MARK STEYN

Absolutely correct! This is why we are really screwed because not only are the political left stealing elections, they have control of the military. Excellent response.

Tucker Carlson deserves the Pulitzer Prize for telling the truth
Edie Boudreau says
I just watched Tucker’s Friday program, and he did not say one word about the Jan. 6 Commission’s submitting only the diabolical video lies. Only on Monday was there a full blast of a story. From Tuesday through Thursday, each program consistently spent less time on the Jan 6. videos, even though Tucker exploited the fact that McCarthy gave him exclusive rights to reveal the lies.
Fox viewers have to give the network a strong lesson–through letters, emails, and turning away from them. Tucker is a coward if he doesn’t leave the network, and find a better outlet. And McCarthy must release the videos to the public, so that true patriots can continue the exposure and save our Republic. MAGA Trump
Goodnight Irene says
That’s because he works for the Murdochs. I’m surprised they didn’t take out his show. Tucker may be wondering about leaving Fox.
roberta says
Not news, but Liz Cheney is a stinking bag of sh-t.
And her father (who never served in the military) brave man that he is, kept our young people dying in useless, endless wars.
They are the kind of filth that never in our fight wars, but always profit from them. Soulless dirt they are.
David Ray says
I once highly admired both of them. Hence the sting of betrayal was heavy.
Lizzy showed she was pure bullshit when she dismissed Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary “2000 Mules” as debunked.
Her dad showed his rot when he called Trump a coward for fighting against undeniable election fraud.
The selfsame Cheney who experienced when Al Gore nearly stole Bush’s election in 2000. (We had their back; they turned theirs on us.)

They escorting the celebrated Man with Viking Horns to the Senate chamber to get video of him in the Senate chamber.
Walter Sieruk says
Nancy Pelosi is subversive and manipulative is that he is obviously guilty as sin by attempting to hide the video recording and other information from the American public about the January 6th, 2021, set up against the American pro-Trump patriots at Washington DC.
This shows that she must had her insidious sinister hand of incited that mayhem and basic human rights and Constitutional violations against those patriots.
Marlow says
Nancy is Pelosi make mad sinister hand that i incited my Constitution make me feel very sad that January 6, 2021 Washington does things me no like, pro-Trump, patriots, guilty by Nancy, me no like Nancy, bad Nancy video recording.
Who me I know, I funny write things information, hide recording, oh no, make me feel bad, mommy help me, Nancy help me, insidious, insidious, Cthulhu fhtagen! Iya! Iya! The goat of the woods with a thousand young!
Me no write good think I.
Jim says
Argentina occupied the Falkland Islands to distract people from its domestic problems and rally Argentinians to the country and not call for new elections. Joe and Co. did something similar when they got enthused about Ukraine. We are supposed to ignore how they are bringing in fentynal to kill Americans and new voters for the Dem party at the open border. Never mind our border, think about saving the world from Russia. And ignore China, that is no problem either. So, somehow it is all a big deal for helping the Dems get rich and powerful. A crisis is always a way to rally people against the other side. There should be measures to stop the collaboration of media with the Dem party and deep state so that they cannot use their control of information to defeat other candidates for offices. And we need to reform the way elections are run to keep the Dems from winning through tactics like mail-in ballots sent weeks or months in advance or ballot harvesting in big batches. There was no insurrection. That was just a diversion from the soft coup the Democrats planned and executed and are still executing. To get power while seeming to follow the rules, obey the laws and win the hearts of the masses. They think they can even get deceased candidates and mentally handicapped people elected, as they did in PA and with Joe. But it does not have to be that
Annie45 says
Let’s face it. Thuggery and tyranny – as old as time itself – is
headed rapidly towards us. Lengthy solitary confinement
without Constitutional due process of ordinary people AKA
the unjustly accused and setup Jan 6th “insurrectionists” –
is a sample of what awaits us. Arrest of parents for
speaking up at school board meetings and browbeating for
objecting to transgender lunacy are more.
A civil war might erupt as the country becomes more and
more third world impoverished and more Spanish-speaking.
As crimes against citizens go unpunished and out of control.
As races collide and Islamic jihad terrorizes and drugs destroy
cities and the people in them. As digital control over heat,
water, electricity and allowance for the food we eat becomes
our way of life.
All that has already started. The eruption of a civil war will
depend on just how beat down and frightened the ordinary
people have become and what they are willing to do about it.
Cat says
I much prefer a divorce. No one wants to fight their duped leftwing neighbors. Its those in leadership positions who are the problem. Why target a neighbor who is a just a follower? On “our” side there isn’t that sort of base hatred. Not at this point.
P.S. In my leftwing area, in the supermarket today, most of the customers were wearing masks. Just FYI.
Annie45 says
Robert Spencer says that the larger goal of the Democrats
fabricated Jan 6th “insurrection” was to destroy the
legitimate opposition – which would be Trump and
everything he stands for. That if that movement could be
crushed and discredited, then only the Left view would
become acceptable – essentially creating a one-party
state. No one would dare voice an opposing opinion.
IOW a communist-type globalist takeover.
So your belief that those in leadership positions are the
problem nails it.
Marlow says
Any “opposition” that commits or supports treason is no longer legitimate. Full stop. Trump is not legitimate and neither is MAGA. They are both seditious movements that need to be stopped by any and all legal means available.
TRex says
The trigger will be how uncomfortable does the populace have to get before they put down their phones, turn off Netflix and make a true evaluation of how their rights are being stripped away. It’s that “they came for the guy next door and I did nothing” thing. The Marxist Democrats are betting on the apathy of those on the right and the useful idiots on the left.
David Ray says
Good point.
General Green is still studied at West Point & VMI (well . . . maybe) for his strategy during the Revolutionary War.
He strung the Redcoats along a long March to wear out their rations.
They then began to pillage the countryside to restock their supplies.
The effect was to turn swaths of people from their “cellphones & Netflix”, and firmly join the fight for independence – now having personally seen why they should.
Marlow says
I really, really hope you try something like that. It’ll be fun watching you go down under a hail of FBI bullets. I’d buy tickets to that show.
Goodnight Irene says
One thing the communists made sure of in Russia was that plenty of booze was available. In America, it’s drugs.

Jan 6th was a public protest of public corruption.
The Left is incapable of honesty. Honesty would leave them abandoned.
Censorship and prevarication remain as the staple Leftist arsenal. Misinformation is more than an immediate, but temporary, half-measure until popular influence disappears. History indicates permanent disinformation will be required. Nineteen of twenty information specialists are already on board.
They are highly confident.
Marlow says
Jan. 6 was an act of treason committed by a mob of mentally stunted treason monkeys incited by a treasonous president who will soon, I hope, be jailed for life. Man up and deal with it.
DARRYL NELSON says
It is the only insurrection in history where the police gave the insurrectionists a guided tour.
They shaman actually thanked the police for their hospitality.
It was always a manufactured story.
Marlow says
The police who fought for hours against a murderous mob to keep them out of that tunnel would disagree. They’d also say you’re a goddam liar and a supporter of treason. And they’d be right.
Jenny Secor says
Help the J6ers.
Go to StopHate.com and buy book.

Joe Biden is blatant deliberate and outright liar of the most despicable sort. 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 is an 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.
Walter Sieruk says
Recently at a Patriot rally in Washington DC , the people held up a sign that read “Guilty of Loving America.” Yes , the American patriot ,Ashli Babbitt, loved American and she was maliciously and viciously murdered for it in cold blood.
For on January 6th 2021 at Washington DC the patriots were waved in that government building by the Capital police. What a setup. That was totally unconscionable of those politically correct fiendish villains.
It’s been discovered and proven that the Capital police officer had viciously shot dead Ashli Babbitt thorough a closed then she was not engaging in any type of violence and the Capital officer who shot her was a Black man which is part of the cover up. Later that murderous Capital officer was “cleared” as in he escaped punishment because of the heinous influence and power in those politically correct leftist in the US government. So that awful man literally got away with murder.
That murderous escaped justice. This country is no longer a nation of “Justice for all.”
The point in mentioning that is to think of a the national politically correct outrage and even riots that would occur if a White Capital police officer had shot dead a BLM rioter , for any reason ,no matter how valid that reason might be.

Michael Byrd’s face should be on Mt. Rushmore for saving the lives of congresspeople by summarily executing a traitor.

Mt. Rushmore. That treason monkeyess got exactly what she was asking for.
Walter Sieruk says
To Marlow, you are a suck man. So much so that you can’t even understand the difference between good, a person Ashil Babbitt and an evil murderous fiend ,Michael Byrd Likewise, you cant discern the clear different the a real American patriot ,Babbitt, and a actual traitor to America , Byrd , who is member of cult called the “Nation of Islam ” which is rejected as heretical by the Muslim scholars of both Sunni and Shiite Islam .
Byrd had a history of disciplinary problems in the Capital police department way before he murdered Ashil, “Officer Byrd should have been kicked out way before January 6,2021 .
What more the “Nation of Islam is a racist white people hate cult and not doubt Byrd”s murder of Babbitt was , no doubt , racially motivated . Byrd should have been charged ,arrested and imprisoned for both murder and committing a hate crime.
Marlow says
Mt. Rushmore. He’s my hero. Summary execution was the least that treason monkeyess deserved.

Search for “January 6th REDUX” on Amazon. This is the book they don’t want you to read. These are the pictures they don’t want you to see. Over 100 color images with an eyewitness account and video analysis of January 6th, 2021 brings the events at the U.S. Capitol to light.
In 2016, Trump obviously was not part of the plan. Trump was not part of the Washington establishment. The Bush family, the Clinton family, and the Obama democrats had run the country for nearly three decades. The non-elected government positions, the intelligence community, the courts – all built with those three powers at the lead for twenty-eight years. Trump was an outsider. Trump was dangerous. He proved to be a legitimate threat, and at that moment the gears of the entrenched, entitled political machine that has become the bulk of our government began to turn, began to mold and manufacture deep state operations to derail the oncoming train of a new, more engaged, more informed, more vocal conservative block of Americans. The Intel/Media Complex was ready to flex its muscle.
