Political Warfare Expert Analyzes Jan 6 & 'Soviet Tactics' of Intel Agencies - Blaze TV​

J. Michael Waller, author of "Big Intel," takes Steve Baker through the history of U.S. intelligence agencies, the fall of the Soviet empire, how we acquired many of Russia’s secret military technologies, and how his own experiences in subversive activities led him to see January 6, 2021, as a planned event of military precision.

 

Trump Should Pardon ALL Jan. 6 Defendants?! | John Strand | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 240​

“You never forget your first time being on an FBI Most Wanted list,” says January 6 defendant John Strand. “The process is the punishment... they punish you at every nook and cranny of the bureaucratic machine.”

For what came down to four misdemeanours, John faced a year in prison, including four months in solitary confinement, where he was often denied his time outdoors, phone calls, or even a book to read.

“It was so totalitarian,” John says. “I didn’t really expect justice.”

He and Glenn discuss the Supreme Court ruling that shortened his 32-month prison sentence, the “uniparty attack on the American populist resistance,” and the aftermath of John’s “digital assassination.”

The two consider whether or not government officials like Nancy Pelosi and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser “benefited by creating the conditions” that made January 6 possible.

Did at least 26 FBI agents know what was coming that day? What about the pipe bombs at the DNC and RNC headquarters? The main question is what do we do now?

John suggests that the January 6 prosecutions are legally “irredeemably tainted.” Will President-elect Donald Trump issue a blanket pardon?

Proud Boys and Oath Keepers among over 1,500 Capitol riot defendants pardoned by Trump - BBC News​

US President Donald Trump issued pardons or commutations for more than 1,500 people convicted or charged in connection with the US Capitol riot four years ago.

Fourteen members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, two far-right groups, are among those whose sentences were commuted by the new Republican president as he took office on Monday.

Trump also signed an order directing the Department of Justice to drop all pending cases against suspects accused in the riot.

The executive action came shortly after Trump was sworn in as the 47th president of the US inside the Capitol, which was stormed by his supporters on 6 January 2021 as lawmakers met to certify Joe Biden's election victory.

During a signing ceremony in the Oval Office on Monday evening, Trump displayed a list of the names of US Capitol riot defendants he said were receiving a pardon.

"These are the hostages, approximately 1,500 for a pardon, full pardon," Trump said. "This is a big one."

"These people have been destroyed," he added. "What they've done to these people is outrageous. There's rarely been anything like it in the history of our country."

The proclamation says that it "ends a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years and begins a process of national reconciliation".

According to Justice Department figures released earlier this month, approximately 1,583 defendants have been charged with crimes associated with the riot.

More than 600 have been charged with assaulting, resisting or obstructing law enforcement, including around 175 charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious bodily injury to an officer.

The 14 defendants who had their sentences commuted - meaning they will be released, but their convictions will remain on the record - include Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes.

Rhodes, a former US Army paratrooper and Yale-educated lawyer, led a contingent of his militia members to Washington. They stashed weapons in a hotel room across the Potomac River in Virginia while participating in the melee.

Rhodes did not enter the Capitol but directed his members from outside, and was sentenced in 2023 to 18 years in prison.

Trump issued a blanket "full, complete and unconditional pardon" to all others who were involved in the riot.

They include former Proud Boys leader Henry "Enrique" Tarrio, who was jailed for 22 years for seditious conspiracy over the riot.

Tarrio was not present at the riot, instead watching it on TV from a hotel room in Baltimore after being banned from Washington, DC, following an arrest for weapons offenses.

Tarrio's lawyer said his client expected to be released, and in a post Tarrio's mother said he would arrive home in Miami from a federal prison in Louisiana on Tuesday.

The move was swiftly denounced by Democrats as an attempt to re-write history.

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who was among the lawmakers forced to flee during the riot, called Trump's actions "an outrageous insult to our justice system and the heroes who suffered physical scars and emotional trauma as they protected the Capitol, the Congress and the Constitution".

The former top Democrat in Congress said Trump "has decided to make one of his top priorities the abandonment and betrayal of police officers" who had physically fought with protesters to defend lawmakers.

Before he was sworn into office, some Trump aides indicated that he would not issue sweeping pardons, but would instead review each conviction on a case-by-case basis.

Just days ago, Vice-President JD Vance told Fox News "if you committed violence on that day, obviously you shouldn't be pardoned." He also said there was a "grey area" in some cases.

Pam Bondi, Trump's nominee for attorney general, called for a "case-by-case" review last week during her Senate confirmation hearing when asked whether Trump's clemency decisions would include those who attacked police officers.

"I condemn any violence on a law enforcement officer in this country," she said.

The Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson also recently called for individual case reviews.

Trump's blanket order came the same day that Joe Biden used the final minutes of his presidency to issue pre-emptive pardons for his brothers and sister, as well as members of the US House of Representatives committee whose investigation into the Capitol riot concluded Trump was to blame.

“The Democrats masterfully reversed reality after January 6, branding peaceful patriotic protesters as “insurrectionists” and framing the event as a violent coup attempt orchestrated by Trump—despite no evidence of armed rebellion or intent to overthrow the government. In truth, it was the Democrats who staged the real insurrection by certifying a fraud-ridden election, ignoring widespread irregularities, and weaponizing federal agencies to hunt down dissenters, all while Pelosi’s own security lapses invited the chaos they later exploited to seize and consolidate power. This gaslighting narrative allowed them to persecute innocent Americans, silence opposition, and distract from their own role in undermining democracy.”

Now where have I seen educated people living a reversed reality… OH WAIT! Most ‘contributors’ to this thread!
