I still say something doesn’t feel right.

You're right and I don't blame you. I backed away from following this for a bit to try to get my emotions in check and try to process this rationally.

You know that the agent provocateurs are numerous. Just hope that a few get pinched in the dragnet to support any claim of ANTIFA instigation. I bet there are a few video cameras that will be telling stories.

Think this is bad? Wait until they put four new members on the Supreme Court or add 200 new judges to the federal court system or hyperinflation hits and the pension values vaporize or they try to add 3 new states or...

Dr. Benjamin Franklin warned us about these kind of people when addressing The Continental Congress on the 2nd of June 1787. Here is the pertinent and paragraph.

“, there are two passions which have a powerful influence on the affairs of men. These are ambition and avarice; the love of power, and the love of money. Separately each of these has great force in prompting men to action; but when united in view of the same object, they have in many minds the most violent effects. Place before the eyes of such men, a post of honour that shall be at the same time a place of profit, and they will move heaven and earth to obtain it. The vast number of such places it is that renders the British Government so tempestuous. The struggles for them are the true sources of all those factions which are perpetually dividing the Nation, distracting its Councils, hurrying sometimes into fruitless & mischievous wars, and often compelling a submission to dishonorable terms of peace. And of what kind are the men that will strive for this profitable pre- eminence, through all the bustle of cabal, the heat of contention, the infinite mutual abuse of parties, tearing to pieces the best of characters? It will not be the wise and moderate; the lovers of peace and good order, the men fittest for the trust. It will be the bold and the violent, the men of strong passions and indefatigable activity in their selfish pursuits. These will thrust themselves into your Government and be your rulers. -And these too will be mistaken in the expected happiness of their situation: For their vanquished competitors of the same spirit, and from the same motives will perpetually be endeavouring to distress their administration, thwart their measures, and render them odious to the people.”

After viewing a lot of the footage numerous times last night, I am changing my vote.
I believe that it was a mix. I think that antifa was the spark and we provided the flame. Much of the footage that I could find looked a lot like antifa starting the trouble and breaching the barracades. It wouldn’t have taken much of a push to take it from there. It was just too easy.

And what would be the motive for antifa to embed and cause trouble? Well, no sooner did debate start on the floors of the House and Senate when the people entered the Capitol building. Why? To silence debate. To silence state by state evidence being shown to all Americans.

Just look what happened in the aftermath. House Reps and Senators took turns stating how this event would not prevent them from moving forward with certification. Almost like hours before there weren’t over 1 million people who showed up to voice their frustration with EVERYONE involved in this election. And now discussion to invoke the 25th Amendment on the President???

My fear is that “the event” will be used to further silence the people that just wanted to be heard for the past two months and nobody will really learn the lesson from yesterday.
