The Fabricated Memory of January 6th

We in America have a collective memory of what slavery was like in the 19th century. And when I say we have a collective memory, I mean we share a fabricated collective memory. Slavery was real, but no one today has a real memory of it.

Our collective memory comes from television shows like Roots and movies like Speilberg’s Amistad and The Color Purple. It comes from every movie you've ever seen about slavery in the United States. And so, as a collective culture, we think that because we've seen these films, we have an authentic memory of what slavery was like when we are only remembering someone else’s portrayal -- someone else's idea of what they think happened. Whether it's Alex Haley or Quentin Tarantino, we have someone else's presentation.

The same thing is now happening with the Democrats when they're recalling January 6th. The Democrat Party has created a fake and fabricated memory of January 6th. They did it with the help of ABC News, with the editors, camera crews, and the post-production people to create a memory that would be played over and over in the media to create a collective memory of an insurrection.

We know the then-House Speaker invited her niece (a professional photographer) to come down to the Capitol and photograph the historic event. We also know that ABC producers were employed to produce the televised hearings of the January 6 Commission for several weeks, and had a hand in editing actual J6 footage. This was designed to create an altered, fabricated memory of what happened the day thousands of people came to Washington because they were concerned the election of 2020 had unanswered questions. Not necessarily unanswered by a non-asking media, but unanswered, nevertheless.

The people felt there were shenanigans in the 2020 elections, such as late-night voter drops caught on film, mail-in ballots counted at the last minute that all seemed to go for Biden, even from districts that previously had voted overwhelmingly for Trump in 2016. And what about the supposed water pipe explosion in Atlanta that forced the evacuation of a tallying center -- and then it turned out there was no pipe burst or flooding after all -- it was just a false alarm.

We now know, according to FBI Director Christopher Wray, they had dozens — if not hundreds — of embedded FBI agents in the crowd. It was like a Cecil B. DeMille movie production, and it was done for the specific purpose of being able to create and fabricate a memory of an insurrection that never occurred.

At present, most of the video depositions have been erased or have disappeared according to FBI administrators; they’ve lost hours of video depositions of witness testimony; Liz Cheney says she doesn’t know what happened to the original tapes. Do you think Biden’s FBI will perform a serious search? After all, we already know what happened, right?

Essentially, January 6th rioting was composed of a handful of (mostly unarmed) people who got stirred up, among over a hundred thousand otherwise peaceful protestors who were merely nearby. Frustrations were high due to a lack of law presence in the crowd. Unbeknownst to most, there were embedded FBI agents in the crowd, but their job was not to quell the crowd, but to stoke them, stirring up some of that commotion.

Don't forget the pallets of pristine unfolded flat as a board ballots that we all saw. Other than when you screw up at the polling place and request a new ballot, when have you ever seen ballots that were not folded? That's how they come in the mail, folded.

Uncle Tom’s Cabin started the fabrication of what slavery was like in the 1850s. Not all masters were Simon Legree, a few were mentally messed up and took it out on their hapless slaves. The Negative images come from here and have only grown with TV and films going back to the days of silent film. The bad news is that too many people saw and were part of the so-called insurrection of Jan 6. It’s a useful fiction, but fiction none the less. They would like to make it a part of the historic memory, like the Holocaust with Museums, and stark B and W photographs. No, the truth will come out. Remember they tried to turn JFK into a plaster saint too—and it worked for a while—until we discovered he had feet of clay and was screwing anything in a skirt.

I am thinking that the vast majority of slaves, were like employees of the time. The owner had very little to do with tending to them. They had a responsibility, the slaves that is, and they did it or food was withheld. The worst whipped and beat people, likely other slaves or employees who were white and indentured to the Master. Massa” if you believe Kunta Kinte demon knights tale. People in general were chattel if they didn’t have family, wealth or land/property.
