This post is just a quick link-around to three stories that cover the three biggest revelations from the Capitol video on January 6th, 2021. The secular left told us that there was an insurrection, that there were weapons, and violence and an attempt to seize control of the Capitol by armed militias who attacked and killed police officers. But what really happened?
Newly revealed surveillance footage from Jan. 6, 2021, shows two Capitol Police officers escorting Jacob Chansley, the behorned so-called “QAnon Shaman” who has come to symbolize the riot, through the halls of the Capitol and to the very door of the US Senate.
The footage aired on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show Monday night shows the officers closely following Chansley as he wanders the corridors of the Capitol, bare-chested and wearing face paint and a luxuriant fur hat with Viking horns.
“Virtually every moment of his time inside the Capitol was caught on tape,” says Carlson, who was granted exclusive access by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to 40,000 hours of surveillance footage from that day inside and around the Capitol, which has never been seen before by the public.
“The tapes show the Capitol Police never stopped Jacob Chansley. They helped him. They acted as his tour guides.”
In a statement, the Capitol Police suggest that one of the officers with Chansley was trying to “de-escalate” the situation because he was outnumbered.
But that does not explain why Chansley, who was unarmed, was able to walk past seven more officers without being apprehended.
“Not one of them even tried to slow him down,” says Carlson.
He “understood that the Capitol Police were his allies. … If he was in the act of committing such a grave crime, why didn’t the officers standing right next to him place him under arrest?”
And yet in the narrative formed that day by Democrats and much of the media, “Jacob Chansley became the face of January 6, a dangerous conspiracy theorist dressed in an outlandish costume who led the violent insurrection to overthrow America’s democracy,” says Carlson.
The Democrats in the legislature are furious with Republicans for releasing the video, since it falsifies their “insurrection” narrative.
More from New York Post:
Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick still is described as a victim of January 6, murdered by President Donald Trump supporters rioting at the Capitol, despite an autopsy report which shows he died of a stroke the following day.
The New York Times initially reported that Sicknick had been beaten to death with a fire extinguisher, before retracting the claim more than a month later.
To this day, media accounts claim Sicknick was “slain” on Jan. 6, and powerful Democrats, including Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi, have continued to cite his death as evidence of a “deadly insurrection” at the Capitol that day.
But hitherto unseen surveillance footage from inside the Capitol, aired by Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Monday night, contradicts that claim.
It shows Sicknick walking through the building “after he was supposedly murdered by the mob outside.”
Sicknick appears to be healthy and walking normally in the footage.
He gesticulates to protesters to move out of the building, and bends down to move a placard behind a statue.
He also is wearing a helmet, so, as Carlson points out, “it’s hard to imagine he was killed by a head injury.”
You can read about how the New York Times printed false news about this story, and then was forced to retract it months later.
And finally Breitbart:
Mysterious January 6 figure Ray Epps lied to the January 6 Committee about when he left the Capitol grounds on the day of the riot, Fox News’s Tucker Carlson argued Monday.
Carlson, releasing never seen video footage from January 6, 2021, alleged that Epps misled the January 6 Committee in a sworn testimony. Carlson claimed to have Epps’s text messages that he sent to a relative about leaving the Capitol grounds later than he disclosed to the committee.
“Under public pressure, the January 6 Committee finally interviewed Ray Epps. He told the committee he never entered the Capitol and therefore never committed a crime,” Carlson explained. “In text messages showed that at 2:12:00 PM, he boasted to his nephew that he had ‘orchestrated’ the protest at the Capitol.”
“He admitted he helped get people there,” Carlson said. “Tonight, we can tell you that at the very least Ray Epps lied in his sworn testimony to the January 6th Committee. Epps testified that when he sent the text messages to his nephew, he had already left the Capitol grounds to return to his hotel room. That is not true.”
“The surveillance footage we found that shows in fact Ray Epps remained at the Capitol for at least another half an hour,” Carlson said, allegedly displaying the video proof. “What was Epps doing? We cannot say, but we do know that he lied to investigators. The January 6 Committee likely knew this too. Democrats had access to the same tape, yet they defended Ray Epps.”
Tucker noted his video shows Epps encouraging protestors outside the Capitol Building to enter.
“We do know from the contemporaneous video that a mysterious figure called Ray Epps encouraged the crowd to go into the Capitol. For some reason Epps has never been indicted for that,” Carlson said. “There is no question he did it.”
When Ted Cruz asked federal law enforcement officials about their involvement in organizing and leading the “insurrection”, there was no outright denial. The woman being questioned just refused to answer.
Meanwhile, there’s been no charges about insurrection for Black Lives Matter or Antifa, because they are the allies of the secular left, and their real violence is just ignored by the secular left.
I also always pointed out it was obviously a political claim to say j6 was any event.
It was advertised people would be there for a day so it was known.
Additionally the buildings mean little overall. If any entity takes control of a capital building they are not a new leader, when Britain had their Parliament hit during ww2 they weren’t defeated Winston Churchill their pm was at a secure location using continuity of gov’t plans.
No actual attempt to do anything against gov’t was done. It was only the horrible act of protest by a group the gov’t and media hates. No different than the truckers and protesters on Canada demonized by media

Funny how they get so quiet when June 1, 2020 is brought up. Seems they don’t want to discuss that. How many people were injured there? Including secret service members? Silly me. It must be ok because the left does it.
