WASHINGTON (AP) — The song is simple and tinny, but that hasn’t stopped it from being embraced by former President Donald Trump and his allies in their campaign to rewrite the history of the deadly Capitol riot.
The tune, “Justice for All,” is the Star-Spangled Banner, and it was sung by a group of defendants jailed over their alleged roles in the January 2021 insurrection. Recorded over a prison phone line, the national anthem sounds more like a dirge than celebration and is overlaid with Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
Despite its low fidelity, “Justice for All” has garnered a lot of fans. Trump, a Republican, played it at a recent rally in Waco, Texas, as images of Capitol rioters flashed behind him on a big screen, and the $1.29 song last month briefly vaulted to No. 1 on iTunes, supplanting such recording artists as Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift.
Experts on extremism and propaganda say the song is another example of how Trump and his most ardent allies are trying to gloss over an avalanche of evidence proving the Capitol riot was anything but an act of patriotic resistance.
And it shows how such revisionists have dug deep into authoritarian playbooks that rely heavily on the use of national identity to sway public opinion. In this case, Trump and his allies are ironically relying on America’s most patriotic song in their efforts to whitewash an insurrection that contributed to five deaths and left more than 120 police offices injured, experts said.
“We should not be surprised that this propaganda is effective, but it is shocking to see this in this country,” said Federico Finchelstein, chair of the history department at the New School for Social Research in New York, an expert in authoritarian disinformation.

AP - Always Propaganda
It’s not tinny.
The Ass Press. Nothing to see here. They’re pimpin’ for their team, the O’Bama/Holder FIBBIES.
“Experts on authoritarianism”? “New School for Social Research, a source of expertise on authoritarianism”? What a nauseating essay!
New School for Social Research is literally the educational arm of the Frankfurt School of Social research, the bastards who conceived of the methods of unraveling the USA. We are seeing the fruits of their “labors” before our eyes nearly 100 years later.
Lying propagandists attempt to keep their blatantly dishonest narrative going.....including covering up the release of the video evidence as well as the hordes of informants and agent provocateurs sprinkled throughout the mostly peaceful protestors.
Maybe crazy Ass Press Dave would prefer the “hi fidelity” of Aaron Lewis’ “Am I The Only One”. Give it a listen, Mr. AP Jughead.
i’d still like to see the original intention for the gathering on the mall that day to be fulfilled.
that being an AUDIT of the 2020 election.
yes, i know, they’ll NEVER allow it to happen even in one district.
60+ cases filed. ALL dismissed without being heard.
that’s not a coincidence nor an accident. that’s a national cover-up.
The fake news of yesterday has become the fake history of today.
These false narratives are now codified in “history” text books, and college applicants are being scored by how well they can regurgitate them.
“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984
“...deadly Capitol riot...”
Deadly to civilians who were part of the peaceful protest...
yes, i know, they’ll NEVER allow it to happen even in one district.
Why is Ass Press so terrified of releasing the 40,000+ hours of J6 video?

Rioting targeting normal people good, rioting targeting the political ruling class bad?
“Experts on extremism and propaganda say the song is another example of how Trump and his most ardent allies are trying to gloss over an avalanche of evidence proving the Capitol riot was anything but an act of patriotic resistance.”
Who are these “experts” on extremism and propaganda? The only ones I know are the WEF and global Marxists.
The ap is a leftist information warfare wing of the democrat party. They lie...all the time.
Ape Pee Revisionists are projecting again.
Note the name of these propagandists, so justice may be rendered.
I’ll bet if this little whineyass bth Keppler had been around during the Apollo 11 moon landing, he would have threw a tantrum because NASA didn’t open Armstrong’s “one small step for man...” announcement with Also Sprach Zarathustra.
