Ron Paul: We Must Demand Justice For The January 6th Protesters!
The Ron Paul Institute for Peace & Prosperity, | 11/20/2023 | Ron Paul

Posted on 11/20/2023 8:38:42 PM PST by SeekAndFind

New US House Speaker Mike Johnson struck a blow for liberty and justice last week when he finally authorized the release of all the tapes from the January 6, 2021 “insurrection.”

We were told by no less than President Biden himself that this was the “worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”

The FBI was unleashed by the Biden Administration to hunt down hundreds of participants in this “insurrection” and lock them up in the gulag where they awaited trial in torturous conditions – many in solitary confinement.

A Congressional Committee was set up under then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi to “get to the bottom” of the “Trump-led insurrection.” It did not include a single Representative nominated by the opposition Republican Party, but rather two “Republicans” – Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger – who could be relied on by Pelosi and the Democrats to toe the line.

In short, the whole thing was an old-fashioned Soviet show trial, where the evidence was kept secret and the pre-determined verdict – guilty – was to be used to tighten the grip of the ruling regime and intimidate any further dissenters into silence.

The message was clear: “speak out against the ‘perfection’ of the 2020 election and you may find yourself in the gulag along with the insurrectionists.”

It was terrifying and profoundly anti-American.

And, as we finally can see for ourselves thanks to Speaker Johnson, it was a huge lie. The new video shows demonstrators shaking hands with police officers once they entered the Capitol Building. They were welcomed into the building by officers who even held the doors for them to enter! They had no way of knowing that they would soon be rounded up and locked away.

Does that mean no crimes were committed on January 6th? Not at all.

The tapes already released were carefully chosen to single out examples of violence and other possible criminality.

But the full release of the tapes demonstrates beyond a doubt that the endless propaganda that this was a coordinated attempt to overthrow the government was false.

And as for that violence and mayhem on January 6th?

How much of it was instigated by undercover FBI agents?

New footage clearly shows officers outside the building firing on protestors with no warning.

That must be why, in hearing after hearing, Biden Administration officials like Attorney General Merrick Garland have refused to tell Congress the number of federal agents present and their roles in instigating violence.

The release of this evidence should immediately result in the release of all non-violent protestors awaiting trial or serving their sentences.

Those in power responsible for promoting this lie should take their places in the jail cells.

This delayed justice will not help protesters like Matthew Perna, however.

Though the new video release clearly shows him calmly walking inside the Capitol in the presence of unconcerned police officers, when Merrick Garland’s Department of “Justice” announced they would seek terrorism charges against him, Perna, in despair, decided to hang himself in his garage.

Yes, there was an insurrection of sorts.

Those in power hated Donald Trump so much that they were willing to torture and even murder their fellow Americans to keep him from the presidency.

Unless these people are brought to justice, we will have no Republic left to defend.

Do something!

How about we cancel our TV subscriptions and stop pouring money into the coffers of the media that pushed this narrative?

And how about we stop enriching woke companies that are openly working against us, even if it means giving up some convenience?

That would be something, and it would count.

Only a handful of protesters had been charged before Trump left the White House.

A blanket pardon would’ve been seen as reckless during that time period. It could’ve led to a conviction in the 2nd impeachment farce.

Which you would’ve been fine with, because you dislike Trump.

Excellent response.

The fact is that Trump could have pardoned those arrested for misdemeanors and could have preemptively pardoned all of those who entered the Capitol on January 6th. He failed to do so.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Complete nonsense. On 1/6 Trump had no idea who was arrested and for what reason they were arrested. And by the time he had access to such information, he was no longer the President and therefore had no authority to pardon anyone for anything. By the way, you most likely will not have an opportunity to vote again for the POS now stinking up the White House.

“Those on the J6 Committee KNEW. They knew and sat by while people were imprisoned and mistreated, and were just fine with it.”

And “our” members in that committee were Cheney and Kinziger, hand picked by Pelosi because they’re closet Democrats. She refused to seat a ranking GOP member, which is (supposed to be) a requirement.

IMHO the only reason for the J6 Unselect Committee was to cover up the Coup that had been perpetrated against President Trump.

Praying, with the release of the J6 tapes, that this is all unraveling and the TRUTH will be known.

I happen to like both Rand Paul (him calling out FauXci was priceless!) and his father Ron Paul.
