A CNN said “Senior National Security Correspondent Alexander Marquardt and his crew” scuffled over equipment and faced a barrage of abusive statements that could be taken as threats.
“There’s more of us than you,” one “rioter” said, per CNN. “We could absolutely f***ing destroy you!”
“This guy’s with the media,” one person yelled, said CNN in a reference to Marquardt. Journalists were booed. Another person screamed, “Get the f***k out of here!” and another rioter in a red, white and blue shirt and red hat used a megaphone and yelled, “CNN sucks” repeatedly.
“You get the f-ck out of here before you get hurt,” said one to a retreating camera crew. One might wonder, was that specific person or perhaps others – while angry – giving that CNN crew sound advice?
Those around the crew – shock! – said the crowded chanted “USA” in unison, repeatedly. Marquardt told Brian Stelter Sunday, reflecting on his experience. “We were lucky to have gotten out of there without any sort of physical assault.” The correspondent said he and the crew were called “traitors.”
“Murder the media” on one of the doors of the Capitol building, and two Washington Post reporters were arrested in the field, said CNN. That noted, it would have been law enforcement arresting media, not the ‘mostly peaceful’ protestors.
Taking all of those claims at face value, and not to diminish or amplify the purportedly raw emotions, makes an objective and informed person ponder notions such as the following. For instance:
- “Never let a serious crisis go to waste,” the infamous statement by Saul Alinsky/Rules for Radicals acolyte and former Chicago Mayor/ex-President Barack Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel.
- There is an open, and growing discussion to what extent a ‘false flag’ or psyop [Psychological operations] was at play, to lure genuine President Trump supporters into the building, as several videos seem to indicate. For balance, there is video that also seems to indicate places where the crowd pushed law enforcement back from barricades. But among the questions
- There is no doubt that President Trump, controversially, has said that the mainstream media is the “enemy of the people.” However, the president has also provided specific examples of good media, problematic, biased or “fake news.” The White House press room has cited anti-Trump media sources when the coverage was more balanced. Rephrased, while the rhetoric is real, it has also been more nuanced that some who only hear or read one side of the news might think.

It should be noted that menacing or threats of violence can be a crime. Certainly attempting to take or damage camera equipment or any other property is also wrong and is a crime. The fact that VP-Select Kamala Harris* said the Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa riots and protests last summer will not stop nor should they, “not even after Election Day.”
Even blatant hypocrisy does not mean that moral standards should be tossed out. Two wrongs have never made a right.
Left-of-center ABC News is reporting that “Armed protests being planned at all 50 state capitols, FBI bulletin says,” adding that “Starting this week and running through at least Inauguration Day, armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capitols and at the U.S. Capitol, according to an internal FBI bulletin obtained by ABC News.”
In an arguably tone-deaf message to GOP donors obtained by MHProNews, Senator Rick Scott (FL-R) “I recently became Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee. I wanted to send you a quick note on why I’m excited about this opportunity. What we do right now is vital to the success of America. We are in the fight of our lives, and this is a fight we must win. It is on us to retake the United States Senate and stop the march of Socialism and the destruction of the American Dream.” Why didn’t Senator Scott stand up before or on January 6 to stop the socialist takeover and “the destruction of the American Dream?”
The vast majority of the Trump base has proven time and again over a period of years to be peaceful, law abiding citizens.
There are those on the right who are warning that the hard-left is taunting militia and ex-military types, with the view of using it as an excuse to curtail or eliminate the 2nd Amendment. Rephrased, the pro-Biden media may well want to stoke rage by Trump supporters, with the hope that it will give cover that will help what remains among the independent, political center to join the left to curtail or end the Second Amendment.
Update: Rep. Tim Ryan (OH-D), says that some Capitol police are suspended and others are being investigated in connection with the events of 1.6.2021. This tends to confirm previously reported concerns that this may have been a manipulated event that could have entrapped actual Trump supporters, and that was mixed with Antifa-types mixed into the crowd that breached the Capitol. Time may tell…

“The Post-Election Purge”
There are numerous examples of the shutdown of President Trump, pro-Trump voices, or even neutral platforms such as Parler that are open to the free speech of Trump supporters. This is being called the Purge.
It is a matter of concern as even the normally left-leaning ACLU has said, pointing to concerns about President Trump being banned by Twitter.
If this can be done to the U.S. President while he is still in office,
If a company that Congressman Devin Nunes says had about a 1 billion dollar value got pulled by a concerted action,
What does that mean for independents who are much smaller, such as those in manufactured housing?
There is growing buzz, even among some in mainstream news, that the Insurrection Act may still be invoked by President Trump. With only about 8 days left, if the 45th president is to act, it must be soon or not at all on issues like that or on #DeclassifyItAll.
