I believe it was a case of opportunity arising, the deep state learned that thousands would be protesting, including a few hotheads, and they infiltrated, directed the so-called insurrection, and generally oversaw all details of what they would permit and what they would prevent.
It was a stage-managed event with actors and dupes who didn’t know how they were being used. Even Trump was partially taken in, he probably thought there was some chance of a historical event changing the outcome of what he knew to be a stolen election, and critically, he probably thought it would force Pence to take an action he didn’t take. I feel it is quite probable that Trump reached out to senior intel and military figures to see if they would back his defiance of what he saw as a coup. Nobody would stand up to the plotters and they won their victory. We see the results of that, a government or regime completely at the service of Davos, Bilderberg, the United Nations, and actors like Soros and Gates. It is not a government of the people, for the people, by the people. Not even close.
It was all what we call kabuki theater.
It was the Deep state that organized it, in the same fashion that they organized ISIS. With ISIS they attracted the Muslim fundamentalists, who were most prone to violence, and sacrificed the Yazidi people to start a war and kill off as many fundamentalists as they could.
It’s the same with the Jan 6 protestors. The Deep state sent word out and half-truths about a stolen election. They then said when and where the protest would take place. The DS then inserted themself amongst the protestors and caused the violenced and have jailed them for life without a trial.
It’s straight out of the Brown Shirt playbook.
