The Bamboozling of Americans About Jan. 6 

PART II – The Disinformers’ Drivel

Let’s begin our discussion of how the Disinformers deceived the public by debunking three of their deceptive go-to responses in the following situations:

  • When people claim or mention the possibility that the events of Jan 6 were or likely were the outcome of a Deep State psyop.
  • When people claim that Jan 6 was not an insurrection.
  • When people object to Disinformers claiming that Trump should be prosecuted for his alleged wrongful actions and inactions on Jan 6.

The Conspiracy Theory Canard

As I discussed in my blog post, A Theory About Conspiracy Theories, people, especially Deep Staters, conspire to advance their interests surreptitiously. The Intelligence Community Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative Data Center in Utah is evidence of that. So are the facts that people who don’t have high levels of security clearance cannot gain access to its sensitive areas and the fact that the facility’s mission is classified.[i] The seven scientific method steps are observation, question, form a hypothesis/theory, make a prediction based on the hypothesis, test the hypothesis/experiment, data analysis, and conclusion.[ii] The Disinformers would have you believe that you should skip all of that if the MSM slaps the label “conspiracy theory” on a theory the MSM doesn’t like. It’s a fundamentally anti-science ideology and a sophisticated and scientific bamboozling technique.

When people claim or mention the possibility that the invidious events of Jan 6 were or likely were the product of a Deep State psyop, the Disinformers’ go-to response is to slap the “conspiracy theory” label on it and summarily dismiss it. Sadly, far too many Americans have been propagandized into believing any theory on which the Disinformers slap the “conspiracy theory” label is necessarily false and preposterous.[iii] Yet, the Disinformers have no logical counterargument when people point out that slapping the label “conspiracy theory” on a theory says nothing about whether the theory is valid or invalid. So, rather than responding to the challenge to their logic, they typically switch to claiming that the theory was invalid because it would involve too many people to keep the conspiracy secret for long, i.e., “somebody would have spilled the beans by now.”[iv] That argument would be valid in the rare instances when a large number of conspirators were essential to develop and launch a psyop. More importantly, the argument is inapplicable when only a few high-level officials can develop and launch a psyop.

The coup de grass on the illogic of believing that anything labeled a “conspiracy theory” is necessarily invalid is that many theories labeled “conspiracy theories” were true.[v]

The MSM’s actions during and following Jan 6 exemplify the latter situation. Essentially, everyone in the MSM is a Trump Hater. Most of them were indoctrinated into the same leftist ideology before they graduated with degrees in journalism. Journalists with non-aligned ideologies are soon fired in the unlikely event the MSM hires them. They all know and ascribe to the groupthink narratives, goals, and what needs to be done. They don’t need to know and appear to care less about who cooked up the psyop or that they were part of its implementation.

No MSM person needs to talk to anyone else to want or to know how to portray Trump and the Great Patriots in the worst possible light. Journalism schools have programmed their students to do that without circumspection or compunction. More importantly, sharing their scopes, ideas, or angles with other MSM members could harm their career prospects. It could result in others stealing their scoop and the resulting glory. The odds MSM people will conspire with their piers to create a narrative different than the ones that the Deep State sends to them is extremely low.

Communication among like-minded and politically active people is not a must. For example, suppose Antifa or BLM activists learn that Great Patriots will be at the Capitol on Jan 6 to protest the election. As Trump haters, they know the protest will be an opportunity to make the Great Patriots look bad, which will hurt Trump. No conspiring, coordinating, or communicating among themselves or with the Deep State, MSM, or Big Tech is required. From their many successful experiences over the years, especially in the spring and summer of 2020, each member of those organizations knew that if they showed up and instigated and engaged in enough violence to cause American stomachs to churn, they would help discredit Trump and his supporters and otherwise advance their cause. Their 2020 experience also taught Antifa that if they committed violence while advancing leftist causes, they need not worry about law enforcement.

Top-level Deep Staters undoubtedly conspire to strategize, develop, and pursue secret agendas that advance their collective self-interests (e.g., get rid of Trump or aggregate more power for themselves). The number of top-level people needed to launch such a plan can be a small group of experienced and trusted people who, for mutual benefit, keep their lips sealed when around people outside the group. Unlike nongovernmental conspiracies, where offing whistleblowers expose the conspirators to criminal prosecution, as discussed below, governmental conspirators who off whistleblowers are above the law. Their enforcement mechanisms are often lethal.[vi] They have plenty of practice.[vii] Once the top-level Deep Staters agree on a psyop, they can implement it by issuing orders to trusted [read tight-lipped] field commanders who need to know nothing about the psyop, who, in turn, issue orders to the people under their command. The commanded teams are likely told not to ask why they are being commanded to do something, e.g., lob flash bombs into peacefully protesting crowds.

The Deep Staters write up and send to the MSM a stealthily worded news release that will prime the public to view upcoming events in the way the Deep Staters want the events to be seen. Once the MSM dutifully broadcasts the narrative,[viii] the lies will go around the world before the people who see the psyop for what it is can get their boots on, and governmental/MSM suppression of counter-narratives begins.

Even if the MSM were inclined to fact-check “news” from the Deep State (something for which there is no evidence and a long history of avoiding), the MSM dare not fact-check the government’s narratives[ix] lest they lose access to free “news” and scoops upon which they rely to fill their pages and time on screens and would risk being regulated out of existence if they did otherwise. Consequently, the MSM propagates and defends the crafty Deep State narratives to the public. The MSM-spread narrative informs Big Tech, which engages in algorithmic promotion/“validation” of the Deep State’s narratives and suppresses, demonetizes, bans, opposing narratives or deplatforms opposing narrators lest the Deep State regulates them out of business.[x]  Nobody other than the few top-level Deep Staters needs to keep the existence, motives, or means of a psyop under wraps.

Even if the above observation were not sufficient to persuade you that psyops can be carried out with only a few people knowing about the psyop, recall the Chuck Schumer quote in Part I: “You take on the intelligence community, and they have six ways till Sunday the occasional attempts of whistleblowers to sound alarms get back at you.”[xi] Unlike most conspiracies by large groups (where “spilling the beans” is more likely due to relatively expensive and weak enforcement abilities), the Deep State has six ways till Sunday to silence or something worse to those who spill beans. Enforcement is likely rarely needed because the terror effects of their past practices are usually sufficient to dissuade people from spilling anything.

With the aid of their social media hacks and trolls and the MSM, the Deep State has brainwashed much of the public into believing that every theory on which they slap the label “conspiracy theory” is false and only believed by tinfoil hat-wearing nut jobs. The technique has worked like a charm (literally). If Goebbels were alive, he’d likely still be kicking himself for not inventing that persuasion technique.

The Deep State appears to be primarily, if not exclusively, serving the interests of Deep Staters. It is politically biased toward Democrats because the Democratic Party’s agenda is to grow the size, scope, and power of the Deep State, and it is more profligate in spending on government initiatives than the Republicans (although the Republicans are no slouches when it comes to spending). Its lies[xii] are overwhelmingly to cover up its wrongdoing or to advance an agenda to expand its size, scope, and power.

In sharp contrast with Democrats’ relationship with the Deep State, Trump’s name for the Deep State is “The Swamp.” He has pledged to “Drain the Swamp in all three presidential campaigns, i.e., his agenda was directly opposed to the Deep State’s agenda, and Trump continually defames the Deep State. Sadly, he failed to drain The Swamp during his first term. On the contrary, the Swamp swamped Trump with disinformation and lawfare. Yet, Trump survived to live another campaign against them. Surely, the Deep State is embarrassed and furious that they were unable to take him out and fearful that he might return and curtail their power. We know from history that the Swamp will fight back.

It is fair to say that the Deep State (a.k.a., the administrative state) considers Trump a threat to democracy in America.[xiii] The head of the FBI, Hillary Clinton, a federal appellate judge, and many other Deep Staters have said that Trump is a threat to our democracy.[xiv] Hillary also said Trump is a threat to national security.[xv] They continue to say that even though Trump was the president for four years and not only did America and its pretenses of “secure elections” survive his presidency, things went relatively well for most Americans in those four years except for two things, both of which have hallmarks of being psyops to take down Trump. The pandemic, which more and more appears to have been the result of a virus created in a Chinese bioweapon lab funded by the NIH under Dr. Fauci and the Department of Defense escaping a lab in China (because conducting such research in the US is illegal) and sending the world into chaos, lost jobs and businesses, and death[xvi] to make an excuse for states not following their election laws in ways that advantaged Biden, and the riots, occupations, and arsons for which the government put up little resistance, possibly to make it appear that everything was falling apart in Trump’s reelection year. Of course, I don’t know the extent to which, if any, those things were parts of a psyop, but neither does anyone outside the top levels of the Deep State know that it wasn’t a psyop. Because of previous verifiable Deep State lies, their denials of playing a role in 2020 chaos carry little or no weight in the minds of the most critical-thinking people paying attention.  Worse for the Deep State, due to the flood of lies from the Deep State and its suppression of truths, the fact that the Deep State denies encouraging, facilitating, or permitting riots was part of a psyop to ruin Trump’s chances of winning the 2020 election can be viewed as a reasonable working hypothesis if not evidence that it was a psyop.[xvii] While some people dispute that claim, it is fair to say that neither theory can be proven or disproven based on the information available to the public.[xviii] So, dismissing the possibility that the 2020 riots were a psyop is irrational.

Sadly, despite the many verified examples of the Deep State lying under oath to Congress[xix] and the public, much of the public still believes the government doesn’t lie to them. Nevertheless:

  • “In October 2020, during the final weeks of the presidential campaign, 51 former intelligence officials signed a letter asserting that the claims regarding Hunter Biden’s laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”[xx] This letter was released just days before the second presidential debate and was aimed at casting doubt on the authenticity of the laptop’s contents, which had been reported by the New York Post. The letter was organized by former acting CIA Director Michael Morell, who later indicated that he was motivated to act after a conversation with Antony Blinken, a senior official in the Biden campaign and now Secretary of State….”[xxi]
  • The claim that Hunter left his laptop at a pawn shop was valid.[xxii]

The CIA’s claim that the Hunter laptop story had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” had all the classic earmarks of an agency using a truthful statement to cause the public to believe the claims were Russian election interference on behalf of Trump. This is an example of how sophisticated the Deep State’s propaganda is. They can construct a truthful narrative to plant a falsehood in the public’s minds.

DOJ’s Special counsel to investigate the FBI’s conduct “declared that the bureau’s probe into whether the Trump campaign conspired with the Kremlin to win the 2016 election was “seriously flawed” and that “the FBI discounted or willfully ignored material information that did not support the narrative of a collusive relationship.”[xxiii] The Russian Collusion investigation has acknowledged many DOJ failing in connection with its trumped-up “Russia Collusion Hoax,” which it manufactured using wiretaps of phone conversations with Trump’s staffers who did nothing wrong. The FBI obtained permission to wiretap by filing applications to FISA courts that were flawed in many ways.[xxiv] No DOJ officials or FISA court justices have suffered consequences for filing or approving flawed and misleading FISA applications.[xxv]

The “Insurrection” Inanity

Over 1,500 individuals have been charged in connection with the January 6, 2021, events at the U.S. Capitol.[xxvi] In a release dated January 6, 2024, the DOJ declared the number of people charged with the multiple crimes allegedly committed at the Capitol on Jan. 6. The number of people charged with the crime of insurrection (18 U.S. Code §2383)[xxvii] was zero.[xxviii] Yet, over three and a half years later, the Disinformers continue to use the word “insurrection” to describe the events of Jan 6. Let’s sort out why they should not have used that term.

The Great Patriots are known for their love of the country/their democratic republic, and its founding documents and principles.[xxix] They disdain the Democrats and socialists who ask, “When was America ever great?”[xxx] and belittle, distort, and ignore the Constitution.[xxxi] The idea that any Great Patriot wanted to prevent a valid vote count from being certified is preposterous. They were protesting the certification of what they sincerely believed was an invalid vote count, which, if certified, would “validate” a Deep State coup carried out on November 3, 2020. Trying to save the republic from a coup was the opposite of an insurrection to overturn the legitimate government. It was protesting an overthrow of the government by Democrat compatriots in the Deep State.

An “insurrectionist” is “a person who takes part in an armed [Emphasis added.] rebellion against the constituted authority.”[xxxii] In March 2024, the Washington Post reported, “John Banuelos is the 10th person accused of bringing weapons to D.C. for the insurrection,” and that he was the only Great Patriot who allegedly fired a shot on Jan 6.”[xxxiii] His two shots fired into the air bear no resemblance to an armed rebellion. Two shots fired by one guy do not amount to armed rebellion against the constituted authority of the US government. No number of flagpole-wielding protesters (many of whom were using them in self-defense against rogue or hysterical policemen) on top of nine unused firearms and two harmless shots into the air is a serious attempt to overthrow the US government. The US nuclear codes were secure the entire day.

The pivotal issue concerning insurrection is whether the Disinformers’ claim that Trump wanted and instigated an insurrection on Jan 6 is accurate. The Disinformers went overboard to convince the public that Trump wanted and instigated an insurrection. The most egregious thing the Select Committee did was tell the public that there is no evidence that Trump ordered the Secretary of Defense (Miller) to ensure at least 10,000 troupes were ready for the Capitol on Jan 6. Technically, that is a true statement, but it is meaningless regarding whether Trump wanted an insurrection.

Had Trump wanted an insurrection, if Pence had certified what Trump believed was an invalid vote count, he would not have called Miller to his office on Jan 5 and told him to have 10,000 troupes ready near the Capitol to keep things under control. Yet that is what Trump did. The issue is not whether Trump ordered Miller to have the troupes there. The issue is whether Trump wanted 10,000 troupes to be ready to keep things under control on Jan 6, something Trump clearly did. The House Select Committee asked Miller whether he was “told” to have 10,000 troupes on the ready. Miller responded, “Not in my perspective; I was never given a directive, order, or any plan of that nature.” Note that the question posed to Miller wasn’t whether Miller was given a directive, order, or plan to have troupes ready. The question was whether Miller was told by Trump to have troupes ready. Miller dodged the question and used weasel words to change the subject to whether Trump gave him “a directive, order, or plan.” Deep Stater Miller thereby avoided lying (Trump did not give Miller “a directive, order, or plan,” Trump merely told him to do it. Every committed Deep Stater would avoid saying anything that would harm the fundamentally false concocted narrative with which the Select Committee was bamboozling the public. Not only did Trump and his chief of staff testify that Trump told Miller to have them ready, but General Mark Milley (the guy who reportedly told the Chinese that if there were going to be an attack on China, he would call ahead to warn them, indicating a commitment to avoid any surprise military actions) “… General Milley confirm(ed) that Trump did tell the Secretary of Defense to ensure there were sufficient troops available to keep January 6th safe. Milley’s recollection indicates that Trump wanted adequate security measures, including using National Guard or active duty soldiers if necessary.”[xxxiv]

It’s also relevant to note that making arrangements to have heightened security at the Capitol on Jan 6 was not Trump’s responsibility. As Nancy Pelosi said:[xxxv]

  • “I take full responsibility” for not having better security preparations,
  • “We have totally failed. We have to take some responsibility for not holding the security accountable for what could have happened,”
  • “Oh my god, I cannot believe the stupidity of this. And I take the full responsibility.”

An original script for Donald Trump’s speech the day after the Capitol insurrection included lines asking the Justice Department to “ensure all lawbreakers are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law’ and stating the rioters “do not represent me,” but those references were deleted and never spoken, according to exhibits released by House investigators on Monday. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)

Disinformers accused Trump of instigating the riots by saying to his Jan 6 speech audience, “We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore… march over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”[xxxvi] Common sense and time are not on the side of people who argue that Trump incited an insurrection by saying “fight” and “fight like hell.” That red herring is laughably weak. Politicians of every political stripe commonly use “fight” and “fight like hell” in their speeches.[xxxvii] Merriam-Webster defines “fight” to be 1. a: to contend in battle or physical combat” and 2. “to put forth a determined effort.”[xxxviii] A politician using “fight” in its physical combat connotation would be political suicide. Trump has many flaws (don’t we all?), but committing political suicide isn’t one of them. Believing that a politician with the political skills to have been elected president would use “fight” in its physical combat connotation reveals a lack of common sense, especially when he immediately thereafter tells his audience to “march over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

The timeline of events also refutes the claim that Trump’s words incited violence at the Capitol. The Capitol Police abandoned the violently overrun bike rack “barriers”[xxxix] at approximately the same time that Trump’s speech ended at about 1:10 p.m.[xl] Trump was over a mile away from the Capitol when he spoke those words. No one at the Capitol could have heard those words.

The people who attended Trump’s speech heard those words, but even if some of that crowd interpreted “fight” to mean use violence and ignored their beloved president’s urging to protest peacefully, they had minimal opportunity to engage in violence. The House Select Committee estimated the audience at Trump’s speech to be about 53,000 people.[xli] The people who started the violence could not have heard Trump’s “fighting” words before the violence commenced. It would have taken 60 – 90 minutes for 53,000 people to exit the seating area at the Ellipse.[xlii] The time required for a very large and relatively old crowd[xliii] to walk 1.5 miles from the Ellipse to the Capitol is 30 to 90 minutes.[xliv] So, it would have taken 90 – 180 minutes for the 53,000 people to go from a seated position at Trump’s speech and the Capitol. That means that Trump’s audience could have arrived at the Capitol as late as 4:10 p.m., i.e., long after the police had abandoned the flimsy bike rack “barricades” that were either gone or lying on their sides on the ground. The Disinformers’ claims about Trump’s fighting words inciting an insurrection are bunk. Grok AI’s best estimate of the amount of violence that occurred before 4:10 P.M. is “between 70-80% of the violence occurred before 4:10 PM, considering the surge of the crowd, the initial breaches, and the most intense confrontations with law enforcement.[xlv]

Even if some Great Patriots wanted a rebellion [something for which there is scant evidence], the Disinformers’ claim that Great Patriots were/are cultists[xlvi] disproves the claim that the Great Patriots wanted an insurrection. Cultists hang on to every word of their leader and do as their leader tells them. In his speech on Jan 6, Trump did not urge his supporters to do whatever is necessary to stop the certification of the vote count. On the contrary, he told his so-called “cult members” to “march over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.” If the Disinformers’ first claim is true, their second claim cannot be. Nevertheless, the Disinformers’ professional-grade propagandists bamboozled their audiences into simultaneously believing those two contradictory claims.

Deep Staters Are Not Above The Law?

If the events of Jan 6 were the product of a Deep State psyop, the psyop was the most impactful instance of election interference the American public has suffered. It was designed to ruin Trump’s chances of ever running again. Only people above the law (the laws against election interference in this case) can instigate a riot that appears to many to be an insurrection, bamboozle the public about what it did on Jan 6, and not only come out ahead but also suffer no consequences.

Despite the constant refrain by politicians that “No one is above the law,”[xlvii] the Deep State and their peripheral political allies are unquestionably above the law. They can and do interfere with elections by lying, exercising powers not delegated to them, breaking the law, ignoring the Constitution, e.g., filing flawed FISA warrant applications to wiretap their political opponents[xlviii] infringing on Americans’ free speech rights directly[xlix] and indirectly by embedding federal agents at social media companies, monitoring content on their platforms [read, “spying on Americans,”] and lobbying to have posts that do not suit their fancy removed, posters banned, demonetized, and suppressed,[l] much more. All these things constitute election interference — to their great advantage and detriment to individual victims of their lawlessness and the country at large. Making matters even worse, they suffer no adverse consequences from their lawlessness. Committing crimes and suffering no negative consequences is the essence of being “above the law.” Their allies in the disinforming MSM and phony “fact-checkers” run cover for them and cause most of the public to believe the lies.

A critical element of the Deep State Disinformers’ ability to disinform the public is their quest to ignore or quash the indispensable checks and balances that enable the Constitution to work its magic. Lord Acton’s often repeated observation, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” describes the primary problem America’s Constitution was designed to address. The Constitution’s primary genius is the creation of the three branches of government [Legislative, Executive, and Judicial], which empowered each branch to check the other two branches if a branch tyrannically exceeded its authority. Without adequate checks and balances, absolute tyranny is inevitable.

The power to imprison witnesses for not answering questions from legislators primarily lies with Congress. It has the constitutionally delegated power to exercise its contempt authority and statutory contempt powers.[li] Congress also has inherent authority to adjudicate contempt cases but has irresponsibly abandoned that power since 1935.[lii] Consequently, there have been no recent cases of a witness being prosecuted for contempt when the witness was of the same political party as the president. The last time a witness of a political affiliation different from the president was prosecuted for contempt of Congress was in 1983.[liii] In the last 25 years, the only people who were prosecuted and imprisoned by Biden’s DOJ for contempt of Congress were Peter Navarro, a Deputy Assistant to President Trump and Steve Bannon, a former Trump adviser.[liv] During that period, the following Deep State members or supporters of the Deep State exercised executive privilege to withhold information from Congress: Joe Biden, Barack Obama, Eric Holder, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Janet Reno, Harriet Miers, and Sara Taylor, among many more. Biden, Obama, Gore, Miers, and Tayor were not even held in contempt of Congress.[lv] Congress only held Clinton, Holder, and Reno in contempt for refusing to provide subpoenaed documents to Congress, but they suffered no negative consequences for having been held in contempt, but they suffered no negative consequences other than embarrassment by Clinton, the loss of his law license that he hadn’t used in decades, and a mild fine.[lvi]

After he was no longer vice president, Joe Biden kept stacks of classified documents in his garage and elsewhere. Similarly, Trump, like most, if not all, of his predecessors, kept confidential documents after he left office. Unlike Biden, Trump did not share confidential information with his biographer; the FBI raided Trump’s home before dawn to gather all the documents the FBI wanted, and “Trump was indicted on charges related to the mishandling of classified documents, which included 37 counts such as willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, and false statements, among others,” which were later dismissed because the prosecutor’s appointment violated the U.S. Constitution (and, so far, the government has not reimbursed Trump for the legal fees and time wasted on an unconstitutional prosecution).[lvii] For doing approximately the same thing as Trump did, except that for Biden’s unlawful sharing of confidential information with his biographer, Biden, other than the embarrassment of being let off the hook for not having the mental capacity to commit a crime, Biden suffered no significant negative consequences: “The special counsel’s investigation into President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents found evidence that he “willfully retained and disclosed classified materials” after his vice presidency. However, the report concluded that no criminal charges were warranted for several reasons, including Biden’s mental acuity.”[lviii] People associated with left-wing causes claim that Trump is as mentally debilitated as Biden, yet Trump is being dragged over the coals for his retention of classified documents.[lix]

The 2016 Russian Collusion Hoax[lx] was fraudulent election interference by the FBI and DNC. The FBI launched an investigation of a phony dossier paid for by Trump haters, including the DNC, that claimed that Trump’s campaign was colluding with Russia to interfere with the election. “The FISA warrant applications [to permit wiretaps of Americans] used in the Russia investigation faced significant criticisms and were found to contain serious flaws.”[lxi] Yet, “No one involved in the flawed FISA applications related to the Russia investigation has faced significant negative consequences.”[lxii]

In 2020, the centerpiece of Biden’s campaign was a lie/hoax that Trump said Nazis in Charlottesville were “very fine people.”[lxiii] That, too, was election interference.[lxiv] Biden suffered no negative consequences for his disinformation about Trump and its interference with the election. On the contrary, he was awarded the presidency. Harris trotted out that lie in her debate with Trump, and the moderators didn’t even fact-check it.

The unaddressed injustices inflicted by Biden’s lawfare against Trump, the Jan 6ers, and whistleblowers are too many and too complicated to burden this presentation with sorting out.

The list of illegalities by Deep Staters that go unpunished could fill a tomb. Hopefully, the above examples demonstrate that, with Democrats in charge and protected by the Deep State, many Americans are above the law, most Americans are not above the law, and some, like Trump and Jan 6ers, are below the law.

The monotonous claim that “No one is above the law” is absolutely preposterous.

Given the above facts, the fact that Trump is an existential threat to Deep Staters’ power, prestige, wealth, effective immunity from prosecution/above-the-lawness, hatred for Trump, proven propaganda and psyop skills, the most important question facing Americans is: Why wouldn’t the Deep State launch a psyop on Jan 6 that would greatly increase the likelihood that the sketchy vote counts of 2020 would not be overturned and would seriously damage Trump’s chances of rising from the ash heap they could create for him on Jan 6?

  1. Thanks for researching all this, laying out for us, and providing the source information. It’s important to have it recorded for posterity, just in case there is one.

  2. Bamboozling, huh? That’s a very polite way of calling out “unrestricted warfare” by a powerful class of people – be they employed or elected government officials, corporate elites, or influential media personalities – against the citizenry of a democratic republic. H’mmm…I must have missed their coronation ceremony. Nonetheless, it’s where we find ourselves today.
    I appreciate your editorial journey about the how and why we (the citizenry) have found ourselves in this dystopian mess. Looking forward to your solutions. You will have solutions, won’t you? 🙂

    1. Thanks for your comment. I agree that the Deep State engaged in “‘unrestricted warfare’ by a powerful class of people – be they employed or elected government officials, corporate elites, or influential media personalities – against the citizenry of a democratic republic.” The more that is called out, the better.

      However, I see much of that calling out on X and elsewhere. I haven’t seen much commentary on how the Deep State pulled it off what appears to be the greatest psyop of all time. My goal with this series is to explain how and why they were so effective — even on highly intelligent people. A secondary goal is to lower cognitive dissonance that will prevent the bamboozled from considering the possibility that they have been hoaxed (yet again) by the most sophisticated propaganda humans have ever experienced. It is not the bamboozled fault that they fell for the Big Lie.

      1. At this point, I’m inclined to lay most of the blame for the “Bamboozlement” at the feet of some nefarious forces, both inside and outside our borders. However, in my opinion, the main stream media (MSM) has been the linchpin used to infect the populous and perpetuate the BIG LIE. I look forward to your next installments to know if you agree.

  3. Undoubtedly, the MSM is indispensable to the effectiveness of Deep State’s BIG LIE. However, I doubt that the MSM has the expertise to develop the Big Lie, to create the situations that Big Lies can exploit, e.g., the Jan 6 “insurrection.” PART III will make the case for the Deep State being the linchpin. I will welcome your critical analysis of the case.

  4. I hope it’s something you address later in your series, but a key question from Jan 6, independent of the ins and outs of what actually transpired at the Capitol, was whether Trump knew his claims of fraud were fake but encouraged the crowds anyway. Did Trump knew they were baseless but threw them out there anyway because his thought his supporters were susceptible to that argument. That is the key allegation in the criminal charges against him, if they ever go to trial. Was Trump claiming fraud based on credible evidence, or just a hunch because he didn’t want to admit he lost? That answer is the real key to how people really feel about Jan 6.

  5. I don’t accept some of your premises. I’ll say much more about your premises in a later post(s). For now, I’ll mention:

    Whether Trump knew his claims of fraud were fake but encouraged the crowds anyway pales to near insignificance if the events of Jan 6 was a Deep State psyop.

    Trump encouraged his audiences to “peaceably let your voices be heard.”

    No one can know whether Biden or Trump would have won the election had all the legitimate votes were counted and only legitimate votes were counted. Our elections are fundamentally flawed and unauditable. Consequently, unless a person knows that the election was rigged, stolen, manufactured, etc., no one knows whether Trump’s hunch was accurate or inaccurate, and anyone who believes they know has been bamboozled.

    The charges in warfare cases against Trump in kangaroo courts adds no credibility to any assumption.

    Pretending that anyone other than Trump can read Trump’s mind adds nothing to the conversation.
