Let us begin with a definition of the term insurrection. The following is a case law defining Insurrection:
Insurrection means “a violent uprising by a group or movement acting for the specific purpose of overthrowing the constituted government and seizing its powers. An insurrection occurs where a movement acts to overthrow the constituted government and to take possession of its inherent powers.” [Younis Bros. & Co. v. Cigna Worldwide Ins. Co., 899 F. Supp. 1385, 1392-1393 (E.D. Pa. 1995)]”*
The Democratic media and the Party have declared January 6, 2021 to have been an insurrection against American democracy. While there were those who were anxious to engage in violence, while there were interlopers trying to cause serious trouble for conservative visitors to President Trump’s electoral speech, while there were large numbers of riots of the left wing in the United States before January 6 that were much more productive of arson, looting and violence, the elevation of the January 6 event to the status of insurrectioin was strictly a media production, a political gimmick, and a fraud of the extreme left.
While January 6 was merely an excuse to punish not only some guilty of illegitimate mob activity and to persecute Trump supporters with severe penalties, there certainly has been an insurrection in the United States. The real insurrection arose from the Democrat Party’s declaration of “resistance” expressed by Chuck Shumer and Nancy Pelossi when President Trump took office. They declared they would resist everything that President Trump attempted to do. It was not an issue of strenuously opposing those policies and actions not in the interest of democrats; rather, it was everything that President Trump would attempt to accomplish in his presidency, much of which was extremely favorable for diverse groups of citizens.
The real insurrection arose from the violent actions of radical left extremists across the country after the death of Floyd George, who died as the result of a drug overdose. After an encounter with the police, to avoid arrest he swallowed all the drugs in his possession, so that he would not be arrested for possession of illegal substances. An autopsy did not determine that strangulation was the cause of his death, although the nation had been appalled at the sight of a police officer kneeling on his neck in the course of his arrest.
Resulting protests organized through 2020 and beyond by the insurrectionists of the Antifa and the Black Lives Matter (BLM) did indeed amount to insurrection, insomuch as they attacked government institutions, engaged in violence with looting, burning, and violence far worse than any in the attack on congress of January 6. The latter attack was a combination of protesters of the actual insurrection of November 3rd in which serious election fraud was committed by agents of the Democratic Party to alter election results, together with agents of the Antifa and BLM movements attempting to turn the protest violent.
Along with the few extemists on both ends of the political spectrum which participated in the protest at the capitol on the 6th, the massive majority of the capitol visitors were totally peaceful citizens who stayed on the grounds without entering the building. Many of those who entered the building did so, some commenting on the fact that the police had the guns and they had none, at the invitation of the police.
The only individual murdered on January 6th was Ashli Babbit, an Air Force veteran. She was unarmed, but wanted access to the congress deliberating about confirming election results. She wanted to tell the congress only to count legitimate ballots, not all of the ballots submitted by non-registered, illegitimate “voters.” This was Congress, all right, but they were also her representatives. Congress protected themselves from any damage this unarmed citizen could do by having her shot execution style without a hearing. Police around her were numerous, but rather than arrest her, they wandered away from her presence just before she was shot. Could that have been so her assassination could proceed without interference?
The Nature of the Real Insurrection in the United States
The left-wing extremists feel they are the vanguard of the Democratic Party in their attempt to overthrow the “racist” government of the United States of America, and to replace the constitution and American democracy with a Marxist, socialist “democracy.” They are also viewed as such by many of the leaders of the Democratic Party, such as by Kamala Harris current, presumably illegitimate Vice President of the United States; Vice President Harris stated on television before her election that nobody should expect the insurrectionist violence of the riots across the country in 2020 attacking American political symbols, demanding the “defunding” of the police, and destroying the properties of many small businesses through arson and looting to cease with the passing of the summer months. “It will not cease and it should not cease!! “
January 6 has been both politicized and propagandized by the Democratic Party and the traditional publications media in the United States. These two institutions have demonstrated over a period exceeding four years that their hatred is so strong and that they are so desperate to destroy President Trump that their outrageous prevarication and mismanagement of the “news” reflects the same frantic irrationality as that reflected in the strictly partisan warfare that “impeached” President Trump twice and which now seeks to eject him totally from American politics and, if possible, to incarcerate him. This media extravaganza is really just another in the long line of Democratic nasty tricks to subvert justice for President Trump. The congressional police under Speaker Nancy Pelossi have been complicit with her in covering up what really happened and why. Many questions remain about the nature of the “attack” on the capital, because the event has been from the outset no more than an effort to smear President Trump and his supporters. “Hearings” in congress on the same issue have the same validity and worth as the never-Trumpers ongoing cause.
The Democrats and non-genuine/unserious/partisan media have editorialized as though this “attack” on sacred governmental institutions such as the capitol were a first ugly precedent in American history. kylee Zempell, who may not be a democrat, should be thanked for contributing the article “8 Times Left-Wing Protesters Broke Into Government Buildings And Assaulted Democracy ,” which was published in The Federalist on January 7, 2022. For that report pursue the link below.
After many months, numerous suspects incarcerated (often in solitary confinement) for this “insurrection” had still not had their case heard. Reports were that they were confined in deplorable (political) condition. During that time, none had been charged with insurrection. The sanctimonious reference to them by the press and politicians began to break down when some of the people charged with insurrection simply made the point in court that police officers had invited them into the capitol. Television reports had also shown this to be the case and one judge observed that is clearly not the way insurrection is supposed to look. As observed earlier, there were some questionable interlopers and some inevitable hangers-on among those who did trespass in the capitol, but few were as aggressive as the thousands of Antifa and BLM radicals among the activist troops of the Biden era.
