January 6: The Unasked Question
This column is not another retrospective on the Capitol Hill riot of January 6, 2021. rather it is a retrospective on the recent retrospective of the original event.
What we saw in that retrospective is what anyone who understands the system would expect: false claims that the original event was a coup attempt, an Insurgency, even a rebellion (it was just a riot); that President Trump intended and designed it (he was as surprised as anyone else); that he should have rushed to the Capitol and told his people to stand down (It would have been a good move on his part, but security would never have allowed it); and that only the right would ever do such a thing (Well the left regularly riots, loots and burns in our cities nationwide). The left's hypocrisy reeks to the heavens.
But the most interesting thing about the retrospective was the question that was never asked, at least not within the Establishment or it's kept media: why did Americans think they had to physically invade the Capitol in order to be heard?
The answer is that the January 6, 2021 riot on Capitol Hill was the flip side of the “cancel” coin. When the Establishment decrees that anyone who voted for President Trump or fails to abase himself before cultural Marxism becomes an “un-person,” those people have only one way to make themselves heard: take to the streets.
To understand the dimensions of this problem, realize that somewhere between a third and a half of all Americans have been “canceled.” What that means is that from the Establishment’s standpoint they no longer exist. They may not be allowed to speak. Their interests can have no representation. They may not be quoted or published. If their politically incorrect views, speech or writing can be brought to the attention of their employer, that employer must fire them or be canceled himself. They must be driven from their field and made unemployable. They may be physically attacked without fear of their attackers being charged with a “hate crime.” They are political Untermenschen, sub-humans, and if they or their property are subjected to a Krystalnacht by the goons of the left, well, they had it coming. And the event will not make the papers.
In its impudence, the Establishment, which is wholly owned by cultural Marxism, thinks there will be no blowback for canceling somewhere upwards of 100 million Americans. Well, on January 6, 2021, there was blowback. A year later, through their rigged retrospective, they smirked that their kept media wrote the story, so the ordinary Americans who made themselves heard that day are presented as monsters. The house owns the gaming tables, sucker, so place your bet and lose.
An objective observer would realize there is another America out beyond the Establishment and its rigged media whores. That America is made up of the worker bees who make the Establishment drones’ lives comfortable. They see the game that is being played at their expense. They know they have been declared “unpersons,” that they have no voice, and their interests do not matter. At a certain point, events will propel them out into the streets across the whole country, not just Capitol Hill. That is what happens when you tell everyone who voted for Mr. Trump, and millions more who did not vote but reject cultural Marxism, to go f*** themselves. And that is the message the retrospective on January 6 sent.
