I just finished watching the New York Times investigative video report on the terrorist attack at the Capitol on January 6th. I implore all of you to watch it. The link to see it is:
My initial reaction after seeing it was simply one of anger. The New York Times has done an absolutely brilliant job of piecing together all the fragments of video that were shot by hundreds of sources to weave a real time explanation that clearly and graphically displays the events of that day. Using detailed computer renderings of the Capitol and surrounding grounds and matching it with the footage offers a comprehensive and coherent narrative that shows how the event unfolded.
After watching it and thinking about all the commentary we have been hearing for months about how this event wasn't what we all witnessed that day, it is maddening to realize that we were lied to repeatedly and continuously since that day about what happened. This video will undoubtedly be a centerpiece and roadmap for the further investigation by the select committee of the House as it digs into who the 'players' were in this conspiracy. We will learn over coming months about the planning of this event and who was involved from the beginning. I predict that our country will be surprised and ashamed of what happened that day.
To those who somehow believe this attack on our seat of government was benign and peaceful, you will be shocked and hopefully angered by what you see. To witness the beatings and violence perpetrated by these people is so far beyond what could be called the "right of assembly and presentation of a redress of grievances" that it is breathtaking. When we finally understand why additional defense was delayed, and by whom, perhaps those who masterminded this egregious attack will be brought to justice.
In the meantime, watch this and believe what your eyes are showing you so that you can reject all the obfuscation and misdirection coming from those who realize there is a nasty story that they would like us to never unravel.
