The Capitol Insurrection, A View from Inside

“We did it, we did it. We showed them that this is our house.”

This is essential viewing for a full understanding of what happened at the Capitol on January 6th. The interview lasts over 2 hours, and covers a number of topics. It’s helpfully timestamped by topic at the Youtube page. (Click on the description).

  1. Unless there’s a real rise of deplorables with constant massive occupation of DC until the Biden globalist/CCP coup is removed, it’s truly game over for the USA, Canada and the rest of the weakened free world. Unfortunately, I sense it is not going to happen now though…As Kate puts it : “What we need is a real famine” but even that is a double edged sword. The USSR post Nicholas and 1930’s Germany comes to mind here.

    The best scenario (Least blood?) for North America would be for a massive heartland secession…All southern states from Texas eastward and the central states upward north INCLUDING Alberta and Saskatchewan and the Territories all the way to Alaska.
    Split the coasts where evil thrives.

    1. Yes, I like that idea, but they won’t let that happen without a war first,,, but a war would allow for a culling of leftist within the secessional boundaries.
      A war under Democrat leadership cannot be won, unless the military divides politically, left and right leaning. There was a time where men could take up their arms against the government as they had the same weaponry, not gonna happen today.

  2. Had to amp up the playback speed to compress the time. Although hearing Brett at .25 made him sound like he just smoked a pound of weed.

  3. I’m already sick of so-called conservatives putting all the blame on Trump as if the last four, or better 20 years, didn’t happen. I shut it off as soon as he said that. Fool.

  4. What happened to the big Republican rebellion the bought and paid for media have been pushing all morning?? So far no Republican has voted to impeach the president.

  5. Do you know why this freak show Impeachment is going on?
    They know that President Trump will be named for this second term.
    Biden would be disqualified do to foreign interface for him in this election.
    Then the crooks in the Senate will have enough votes to get rid of him.

      1. He may inaugurated on January 20th. However, when the evidence comes out of how widespread the underhanded, devious, evil and criminal tactics of the left have brought us to where we are, there will be no choice but to invoke the 25th Amendment AGAINST BIDEN.

        1. I hope are right, Doug. But it will take lots of hard digging, and a strong conservative media, to take the case of Biden corruption to the public.

          1. The other thing it will take is a strong and independent judiciary. At this point, our judges at all levels appear to be very afraid to let any evidence actually be seen. Hence the many rejections of lawsuits, based upon “standing” and “timeliness”.

          2. Yes, and it’s been made harder to present anything with the widespread censorship going on. Besides radio, FOX news is about the only TV station Conservatives “have” to get word out and FOX has lost a great deal of ground due to their “wokeism” on election night. Trump has to align with Musk to fund our own servers so that Gulag, Twitler, et al, can’t get away with censoring us again. Tim Berners Lee is looking to create another, free web so that we can have real conversations again.

        2. I may have to stop listening to John Batchelor’s show. Yet another guest in a recent interview insisted that Trump didn’t provide any evidence of electoral cheating.

          Never mind that all his attempts to show that evidence were consistently thwarted, culminating with Pence’s cowardice. Yeah, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, then it’s clearly a rhinoceros.

          1. Yeah, there is preponderance of evidence.
            First, the lawsuits were thrown because of technicalities not evidence.
            Second, the courts have severe aversion to decide elections.
            Can’t blame them, one man to decide is not very conductive to democracy, such as it is.

            Unfortunately, as certain Biden said after he brought the gavel down some 4 years and a month or so ago: ‘it’s over’.

        3. That will mean “Give head to Get ahead” Kameltoe will become the US President. Not a very good outcome either.
          Creepy Uncle Joe set up that poison pill for a reason.

        4. Which means a welcome to President Harris. Be careful what you wish for.

          Heh. I didn’t scroll down far enough to see Mike’s comment. Great minds, and all that.

    1. It’s like salting the soil after sacking a city, thereby rendering it useless to anyone who wants to rebuild it.

  6. Thank you for posting, I have watched Darkhorse almost from the beginning.
    Though Leftwing, there is a reason it has a significant center right following. I found it very useful, hope it goes viral. One of my takeaways was regarding the commentary on media’s awareness that tribal outrage is the most likely content to be shared and the most Profitable. They know it and exploit it.

  7. I see this situation very differently – and not in ‘the world is ending’ perspective of so many here. Think about a few things:….sorry..long post…

    1. Why are the Biden Gang so desperate to impeach or render Trump unable to be the 2024 candidate? After all – if they had won this election, fairly, they ought to feel: ‘Oh, the country has clearly chosen us- and clearly rejected Trump’…and would ignore him.
    But- they KNOW that the election was a fraud; that the country actually chose Trump – and so, they are afraid that he’ll run in 2024 – and, in a fair election – return to power. So, they have to prevent this.

    2. The Democrats are in trouble as a party. They – and the GOP – have over the past decades been taken over by a set of Washington elites, who used the party system to move themselves and their networked associates and families – into power and extreme wealth. This is whatever you call it: The Swamp; the Oligarchy. People such as the Clintons, Obamas, Pelosi and more…and the same on the GOP side. The policies of this Oligarchy were to divide the population into passive voting blocs dependent on govt subsidies [the Identity Blocs]; and, to control the economy by reducing the size and power of the American middle class and small businesses [regulations, high taxes]…and move Investment and Production overseas [cheap labour, no taxes]..via Big Companies controlled by The Oligarchy. This is how the Oligarchy became so wealthy; by removing Investment and Production from the middle class and into the big global companies which they control.

    The people were kept from knowledge of this huge economic transformation, from national to global, from middle class ownership to big business ownership.. by the Oligarchy’s control of the media, and by propaganda about the Evil Americans [climate change, Obama’s apology tour]…

    3. The economic results in the US [loss of employment, rise in dependency] reached a critical threshold..and the Democrats began to lose power..and movements such as the Tea Party emerged, to protest the economic constraints.

    4. Then came Trump – who saw exactly what was going on – and was a ‘street fighter’ [not one of the Oligarchy’s type of Ivy league coastal networks]…He won – to the shock of the Oligarchy. And, from day one, they fought to regain control of their Washington power. From day one: riots, media constant denigration and insults, fake charges of ‘racism’ and ‘fascism’ [???do they even know what these terms mean?]; Mueller, Impeachment, Pelosi tearing up his speech on live TV, sanctimonious women Dems wearing white in Congress, turning their backs on him [hey- is this really high school???]….

    But- the Democrats are, as a party, a mess. They have no policies; the Washington Swamp leaders have long ago stripped them of policies by setting up the govt only as a means of disabling the middle class and pacifying the people. The radical socialists have emerged in the Dem party as ‘policies’ – and the Oligarchy put in Biden, a puppet, to prevent or hinder this…because they know that it’s a losing set of policies.

    5. They knew that Trump would win this election. So- they rigged it. And now – they KNOW that they have to prevent him/the People…running in 2024. Because – can they rig another election? I doubt it. They have no policies to help the people – only to pacify and increase dependency. There is no-one in the Democratic Party to lance the rot in the party. The Oligarchy prevented valid genuine honest Democrats from emerging..

    6. I see this ‘election’ as merely another battle that began, before 2016, but was ‘declared’ in 2016, of We The People vs the Washington Oligarchy. So- we had riots Mueller, Impeachment on and on…and now, we have the Biden Fake Election. Just another Battle of Midway…
    Which is why the Oligarchy are desperate to take out Trump…They know the war isn’t over. They know they haven’t won.

    1. The barrage of stereotyping and demonization of the American Middle, in tandem with the revision of history and language, is to justify the sell out of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and American values to the Global Corporatists and Chairman Xi.

    2. Agree with what you say ET, but all of it matters not once the left officially has the levers of power.

      Communism or totalitarianism does not get voted out. It has to be defeated with the barrel of a gun or collapse.

      It took 70 + years for communism to fail in the Soviet Union. And that was with ongoing pressure from the west.

      Chicoms just walked through the doors of Congress as well. There is no one big enough to push back.

      1. I disagree, Ward. A few more things.

        1. The Washington Oligarchy – is hosted by the Democratic Party but there are plenty of GOPers within the Oligarchy. The Oligarchy is not the same as the Democrats – and the Democrats are not all corrupt or brain-dead left-winger socialists. The Oligarchy has almost destroyed the Dem Party by preventing new intelligent people from membership or allowing only minorities and ‘woke’ people in as ‘front-line-images’. That’s why the Dem Party has this internal ‘cancer’ of radical socialism…which the Oligarchy is trying to repress.

        2. The Oligarchy are not communists. They DO have a totalitarian agenda, i.e., an agenda to move outside the law [remember, Trump has been talking about this]…but, my view is that the infrastructures of the nation are strong enough to inhibit – not prevent the attempts – but to inhibit any movement into totalitarianism.
        Both communism and totalitarianism are defeated by collapse; economic collapse. The upfront battles are just that – upfront; the real issues are the deep economic collapse.

        3. I see this ‘Biden phase’ as just that – the name of yet another battle by The People against the Washington oligarchy. It is obviously a fraudulent ‘presidency’; Biden did not win with any legitimacy. I see this Biden phase as akin to the Mueller, to the Impeachment…ie.. a battle against the Oligarchy.

        4. I certainly agree that the influence of China will now increase – but- again, the key facts are that – although the Oligarchy seem to feel that ‘everything can [deep sigh] go back to the Way It Was [before that upstart Trump]… this is NOT the case. The deep infrastructural problems that the Oligarchy had created – the deliberate destruction of the middle class private sector small business economy – which Trump stopped with his rebuilding of this small business economy…you can’t shove that rebirth back into the back shed. You can’t go back to globalism, big overseas companies run by the oligarchy…

        That’s why the Oligarchs are so desperate to get rid of Trump; they think that if they can stop him now, they’ll be able to Go Back to The Way It was. I keep saying…All the king’s men and all the king’s horses couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty together again’…

        BUT – they will be trying to do so,..for the next four years. They will continue to attack Trump [aka The People] – and will try to pacify, brainwash, bribe, lie to..the people…to keep The People down. The impeachment will fail..but, the Oligarchy must continue to try to prevent Trump/The People from regaining Washington power and keep themselves in power. Won’t work. Time is one-way; you can’t go back.

        I’m saying that – it’s all about the economy. Introducing cheap goods from China won’t work. Introducing new government ‘benefits’ won’t work. Taxing ‘the rich’ won’t work. The economy in a large population is based around a free individual, private middle class market economy…and repressing this, the key Dem tactic, won’t work. Why not? Because no economy can afford such a non-wealth-producing method…

        1. ET – I speak in broad terms re who is responsible or behind or benefitting- The Swamp – while its a large group – is anti Trump, Agree that as subgroups they may have different agendas – but they all agree to enact those agendas Trump must be destroyed.

          ie Dems want mass immigration to shore up the voting base – Koch Brothers want mass immigration for cheap labor.

          Not to try to get too far afield here, but similarly Communism/Islam are both statist political ideologies – they may fight to defeat a common enemy – societies that are built on individual rights and freedoms – but at some point they will have to square off as well for ultimate power – something they both desire and require.

          But when that battle comes – societies built on individual rights and freedoms will be long in the rearview mirror.

          As for keeping the economy going in the manner it has run for years – I think the goal is precisely opposite of this – bankrupt the nation and subjegate the masses.

          The political elite will still enjoy their lifestyles though.

          I dont think Maduro has missed a meal yet.

          You are more optimistic that I, that is for certain.

        2. Really? So you don’t ‘believe’ Biden when he promises to impose the Green New Deal on America? Don’t be silly. Just watch how FAST ICE vehicles are Federally banned. And how many more cities will ban natural gas. And how fast oil exploration and extraction are hobbled.

          The only oligarchs that will matter, are those who are sold-out to global warming … and stand to PROFIT from Greendustrial Revolution

      2. Fully agreed, Ward. I disagree with ET’s The Oligarchy are not communists because why they are totalitarians is irrelevant at this point. It is their totalitarianism that is the problem. Whether they are organized and/or competent doesn’t matter at this point. The initial government after the Tsar’s family was overthrown were also inept, and came to be replaced very shortly by the cutthroat membership that weren’t inept. This is how I view Kamala’s involvement, the firebrand who can bring “order” and “direction” back to the movement (God help the rest of us).

        This is why some of us are in near paralyzed fear of what could be coming.

    3. Can they rig another election? Of course they can … and it will be even easier, and slicker than last time. Whether you believe it was a high tech (internet software tweaking) or low tech (ballot stuffing) STEAL … or a combination STEAL … next election will be even easier to steal. They got away with mass fake ballots and vote theft. Welcome to the New Normal.

      Unless the Congress can institute “purple thumb” voting … we’re fucked. No … the crackdown on Free Speech and Liberty has little to do with fear for the next election. Nope. The crackdown is testimony to the fact that the hardcore LEFT is now in TOTAL control of our government. We’re all CA now. And they will be RUSHING to pass ever more draconian leftist crackdowns … 1. Because they can, and 2. They need to prevent a counter-revolution. It’s not the “vote” these leftists fear … it is (by their own words) … an insurrection. And make no mistake … as the Left continue to BLOW UP our system … Trump’s 75M will soon become 135M as more and more Freedoms are STRIPPED from our citizens. The Biden-HARRIS leftists know they MUST go FULL Soviet Purge on the American people and CRUSH our spirits and rebellion … before it even gets started.

      Trust me … the Gulags are just now appearing in the horizon.

      Yeah. Doom. Gloom. Convince me otherwise. Because real time events have led directly to my conclusions

      1. I think you’ve hit the nail on the head. What i’m looking for in the next two years is for some quick state level legal victories to remove the massive expansion of mail-in voting. And I’m hoping that states begin to demand voter id (what you are calling “purple thumb” voting). If not, the US is most definitely fucked. Even if that happens, the next two years will be a complete shit show.

    4. Great synopsis. It’s true that many of these corporate fascists make their money by manufacturing in China and then selling products for beaucoup bucks in the West. I wonder what Apple products cost to produce? I also wonder if Trump’s corporate tax rate cuts didn’t hurt him? What do you think?

    5. This is a very good post. I would agree with everything you said, except I have a hard time thinking of the Dems who have all three branches of the US government under their control as “a mess.” They are evil… rotten to the core, but they know exactly what they are doing.
      I think of Pelosi and the Democrats stealing this election with forged/falsified/harvested mail-in ballots as the equivalent of Caesar taking his Legions across the Rubicon river. It was so easy what they did, but like Caesar breaking the law of ‘no Legions in Italy’ and becoming a dictator, the Democrats have destroyed the US electoral system and…. I hate to torture this post with analogies, but… created a nuclear arms race of mail-in vote harvesting.
      So now the next election, which in the borderline insane system the US has is two years away, will be about how many mail-in ballots can each party harvest/steal/forge in order to eek out a razor thin victory OR…. and this is what I’m hoping for, there will be large changes to secure the voting system… there are going to be legal challenges in all of the swing states that will remove the massive, unconstitutional expansion of mail-in voting. In which case, things will go back to normal and the pendulum will again swing back and forth normally. But like Caesar, the Democrats will have at least two years of Imperial rule.

    6. There is one curious thing about the ‘classes’.
      Seem to remember that the US was a class-less society.
      Of course there are and always will be rich and poor, the poor had to work their way out of being poor and it was incumbent on the rich to do charity. In fact the rich of the free enterprise must have of necessity supported the poor to get them out of it in order to sell them stuff.

      The stuff is made in China now, so there is nowhere for the poor to go to make a living. Hence the growing dependency and increasingly rigid class division. In Germany, they had a name for it lumpenproletariat, setting aside what the refined definition of it is in the dictionary, the idea is that there are permanently poor, they have no interest, no power, nothing that would get them out of their misery as viewed by those that have more.

    7. Please explain why you doubt they can’t rig another election?…So far they have committed a massive fraud election and it seems like they are getting away with it…it’s only going to get worse from now on, don’t ya think?…Of course they’ll let some ” Republicans” win just for show but they certainly won’t be the Tea Party/ Trump types anymore…More the Liz Cheney RINO I say.
      Until we know fair elections are conducted, it’s pretty much over…”The Democrats are in trouble as a party”…Give your head a shake professor. WOW!

  8. Tried watching the impeachment debate today but had to shut it down after five minutes.
    The abject hypocrisy coming out of the mouths of some Dems is just too much. For that POS Shiff to get up there and talk about “insurrection” and “threat to our Democracy” made me want to reach into the screen and throttle him.

    That said: The vote will be a good litmus test for GOP members as to where they stand.
    Choose wisely.

    1. Notice now that they want President Trump Impeachment before the January 20?
      They know that Biden was disqualified and the reason that announcement earlier that Trump has 4 more years.
      Impeachment then hide their crimes that Trump was being called President.

      You don’t tell the media and announce their candidate is disqualified, you use it.

      1. I wish that were true Jojo, but it comes from Qanon who has led Trump supporters around by the nose with stupid conspiracies.

    2. As I said above … the Dems are speaking of an insurrection … prophylacticly. The Capital “invasion” wasn’t an insurrection. They’re worried about the COMING insurrection … after The Green New Deal and the full plate of America-crushing policies are imposed by HARRIS-Biden. Then the people of America will really be pissed … and poised for action.

      1. In the Canadian parliament the members of parliament can lie, defame, offend and all that crap, they are immune from prosecution while talking in the chamber.

        Is that the same in the US congress?

        When you listen the so called “Democrats” it is as though they live in a fantasy world of bullshit and nobody is calling them on that.

        1. Because the media is compromised and fails to do their job. Err, they believe their job is to cheer and promote hard leftist Democrats. State media. Propagandists.

  9. I listened to about half of it, got fed up a quarter way through.

    Seems to me what these two were missing is that a) in the round, this was more a demonstration than the “insurrection” that they kept calling it, and b) most of the folks were just ordinary people who think it’s not right that their election seems to have been stolen.

    From a distance of several thousand miles away (so what would I know) it seems that the USA is getting its very own “color revolution”. Hope it’s more fun than the other ones were…

    PS: great blog Kate, keep it up 🙂

  10. I watched up until around the 23 minute mark where Weinstein stated that he believed what happened on jan. 6th was ‘an insurrection.’ Complete joke. He’s not worth listening to. Also, earlier than that I heard that “journalist” say that he was trying to find out how many people were at the Capitol and he was “googling like mad” to find out. I realized, this man doesn’t have a clue what is going on.

  11. I don’t think anyone knows how this travesty will play out, however things are much beyond Trump vs. Biden. The election was stolen with assistance — perhaps even direction — from foreign entities. I am sure the military is aware of that. Their duty is to protect the country and with Biden’s inauguration, control of the country is being handed to the globslists/Chinese. At this point, it is hard for me to accept that the military would allow that to happen.
