Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick died from his suffering a pair of strokes on January 7, the day after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol Building in Washington, DC. We have known that truth for well over two months now, but the corrupt, Nazi-style propaganda media establishment has continued to push its made-up-out-of-whole-cloth narrative that officer Sicknick was killed on Jan. 6 by the rioters for the duration of that time.
That is, until yesterday, when even the anti-American scum who run the Washington Post were forced by Democrat officials to admit to the actual facts surrounding the real cause of Sicknick’s death.
Here is an excerpt from the WaPo story:
Capitol Police officer Brian D. Sicknick suffered two strokes and died of natural causes a day after he confronted rioters at the Jan. 6 insurrection, the District’s chief medical examiner has ruled.
The ruling, released Monday, will make it difficult for prosecutors to pursue homicide charges in the officer’s death. Two men are accused of assaulting Sicknick by spraying a powerful chemical irritant at him during the siege, but prosecutors have not tied that exposure to Sicknick’s death.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Francisco J. Diaz, the medical examiner, said the autopsy found no evidence the 42-year-old officer suffered an allergic reaction to chemical irritants, which Diaz said would have caused Sicknick’s throat to quickly seize. Diaz also said there was no evidence of internal or external injuries.

Oh.
It’s important to note that that false narrative about Sicknick’s having been sprayed with bear spray by the rioters and dying later from an allergic reaction to it was actually the second false narrative the WaPo and other corrupt propaganda outlets pushed about his death. The first false tale had officer Sicknick actually dying at the scene of the riot after rioters had pounded him with a fire extinguisher, an outright lie that video taken at the scene immediately disproved. The media pushed that false narrative well into February before finally relenting and settling on the false bear spray narrative as a means of refusing to report the truth.
Finally, three months later in mid-April, the truth about Sicknick’s death – which we have known since mid-January – is made official, and, as liberal writer at Substack Glenn Greenwald notes in another great piece on the matter, none of the corrupt journalists who pushed the false narrative for months on end will bother to apologize for their mendacity.
Here is an excerpt from Greenwald’s piece:
The Media Lied Repeatedly About Officer Brian Sicknick’s Death. And They Just Got Caught. Just as with the Russia Bounty debacle, they will never acknowledge what they did. Their audience wants to be lied to for partisan gain and emotional pleasure. It was crucial for liberal sectors of the media to invent and disseminate a harrowing lie about how Officer Brian Sicknick died. That is because he is the only one they could claim was killed by pro-Trump protesters at the January 6 riot at the Capitol.
So The New York Times on January 8 published an emotionally gut-wrenching but complete fiction that never had any evidence — that Officer Sicknick’s skull was savagely bashed in with a fire extinguisher by a pro-Trump mob until he died — and, just like the now-discredited Russian bounty story also unveiled by that same paper, cable outlets and other media platforms repeated this lie over and over in the most emotionally manipulative way possible. Just watch a part of what they did and how:

As I detailed over and over when examining this story, there were so many reasons to doubt this storyline from the start. Nobody on the record claimed it happened. The autopsy found no blunt trauma to the head. Sicknick’s own family kept urging the press to stop spreading this story because he called them the night of January 6 and told them he was fine — obviously inconsistent with the media’s claim that he died by having his skull bashed in — and his own mother kept saying that she believed he died of a stroke.
But the gruesome story of Sicknick’s “murder” was too valuable to allow any questioning. It was weaponized over and over to depict the pro-Trump mob not as just violent but barbaric and murderous, because if Sicknick weren’t murdered by them, then nobody was (without Sicknick, the only ones killed were four pro-Trump supporters: two who died of a heart attack, one from an amphetamine overdose, and the other, Ashli Babbitt, who was shot point blank in the neck by Capitol Police despite being unarmed). So crucial was this fairy tale about Sicknick that it made its way into the official record of President Trump’s impeachment trial in the Senate, and they had Joe Biden himself recite from the script, even as clear facts mounted proving it was untrue.
Because of its centrality to the media narrative and agenda, anyone who tried to point out the serious factual deficiencies in this story — in other words, people trying to be journalists — were smeared by Democratic Party loyalists who pretend to be journalists as “Sicknick Truthers,” white nationalist sympathizers, and supporters of insurrection.
For the crime of trying to determine the factual truth of what happened, my character was constantly impugned by these propagandistic worms, as was anyone else’s who tried to tell the truth about Sicknick’s tragic death. Because one of the first people to highlight the journalistic truth here was former Trump official Darren Beattie of Revolver News and one of the few people on television willing to host doubts about the official story was Tucker Carlson, any doubts about the false Sicknick story — no matter how well-grounded in truth, facts, reason and evidence — were cast as fascism and white supremacy, and those raising questions smeared as “truthers”: the usual dreary liberal insults for trying to coerce people into submitting to their lies:

Go read the rest. You’ll be glad you did.
The corrupt, Nazi-style propaganda media establishment is destroying our country, bit by bit.
That is all.
Doesn’t matter.
The MSM is spinning as “the stress of the demonstration caused the stroke.”
The Ministry of Propaganda already has their narrative planted in many minds.
Some people still believe that there was Trump/Russia collusion in 2016.
Do we even know how many police officers died during or shortly after last summer’s Antifa and BLM riots?
The deaths of January 6th are par for any large crowd. Talk to the police at any Big Ten football game. They will tell you that at virtually every game there are heart attacks, freak injuries and accidents that result in death or hospitalizations. Even Disney world has deaths every single day the park is open. The fact is, that whenever you have a crowd of 100,000 you are going to have deaths. Five people died. They were all Trump supporters, mostly because the Trump supporters were older. And then there was one cop who should be thrown off the force. He shot when many other cops on both sides of the doors were standing around being calm.
“The Media Lied Repeatedly About Officer Brian Sicknick’s Death. And They Just Got Caught. Just as with the Russia Bounty debacle, they will never acknowledge what they did.”
How many hate-crime hoaxes has the Media-Dem Party perpetuated on us over the decades? How many years have they screamed “racism”? It’s been decades upon decades of lies. Their lies about Sicknick’s death, Russia Bounty, Russia Collusion, Ukraine, and the rest are but the most recent of their never ending stream of lies.
“The Ministry of Propaganda already has their narrative planted in many minds.”
NPR, in their dulcet tones, repeating the message over and over and over. Even on the so-called conservative stations we get Covid news for 15 minutes every hour. It works very well on some people.
Vaccine?
“Today’s Required Reading: The Media’s Legend About the Death of Brian Sicknick Collapses”
The Lame Street Media will probably never mention his name again figuring the sheeple will soon forget about the story.
They got their headlines and talking points across to millions.
Maybe 10 people who don't go to conservative sites will even know about the real cause of death.
One of the most indicting aspects of the mainstream media is how they abandoned the fire extinguisher narrative when it was proven false for the bear spray narrative which is also false. Now proven, whatever the truth is must be quashed in favor of any lie which indicts conservatives.
Sicknick died from his suffering a pair of strokes and the media has reliable sources who say Russia caused him to have them news a 6:00.
The media is corrupt and vile and evil. I would embrace their economic demise.
