 Whatever else happened in DC today, the Stop the Steal rally resulted in the fatal shooting of a female Trump supporter, who was part of a group that forced its way into the capital building. Here are some things we need to keep in mind: First, as Steve Sailer reminded us, the left has staged similar actions before, with little reaction from law enforcement. Second, the events in DC will likely be used as a pretext to impose further censorship on the patriotic right and tighten the grip of what I call “the globalist Blob” on all of us. The MSM cast the BLM/Antifa riots as “mostly peaceful protests”—the people who showed up in DC today to angrily protest the rigged election will be condemned as a violent mob. Third, “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” As I’ve noted previously, politics are over in what used to be our country. The powers-that-be have excused and encouraged violence against our people, making further violence inevitable. And fourth, there is an as yet unorganized and undirected Middle American resistance out there. Mass participation in the Stop the Steal rallies has shown that our people can be mobilized, but they need organizers and coordinators at the state and local level—that’s where battles that we can win could be fought. Disparate patriotic groups could form a resistance network. We need to face the reality that national elections will not save us. The aim now is to defend ourselves and salvage something for our posterity, hopefully carving out enclaves where we can live our lives as we see fit. Do not be taken in by the political show being staged by some GOP luminaries, such as Ted Cruz: Remember that in 2016, Cruz portrayed the violent attacks on Trump supporters at campaign rallies as Trump’s fault. This will be a long battle. Hopefully, our people will have the determination, will, and wisdom to fight it. This piece was previously published on American Remnant at January 6, 2021.

At least 74.5 million Americans voted for Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States over the next four years. The number was likely higher, perhaps as many as 80 million if votes had not been flipped and accurately counted. Of those 74.5 million people, there were approximately 500,000 people representing them in Washington, D.C. on 06 January 2021. They, as did I sitting at home watching on my computer, heard and saw numerous speakers with President Trump giving the final speech before the huge crowd was to go to the Capitol for other speeches while the Congress, lead by Vice President Pence, hopefully addressed their concerns. Even as President Trump was finishing his address hoping that VP Pence would do the right thing, this massive crowd got, on their social media devices, the word that VP Pence was not going to address their concern in the manner which had been laid out for him. Based on reports from a score of friends who were there and on reports over the Internet (I do not watch TV or have a social media device), those there assembled were instantly angry at VP Pence. What had been laid out for VP Pence that he was supposed to have done that he did not do? In at least five of the swing states unconstitutional decrees and orders had been issued to change the will of the respective legislatures. Without the first instance of fraud itself, those elections were null and void on the face of it: only the legislature of a given state can determine the manner in which electors in that state are selected. In unauthorized change to that statue, whether from an election commission, a secretary of state, an attorney general, a governor or a state court, makes the election carried out under those changes null and void. The legislatures of three of those five states asked President Pence to give them ten days, which the courts would not give them, to determine who should legally receive the electoral votes in their states. This is all President Trump and the 74.5 million who voted for President Trump were asking. Now, of the approximately 500,000 people gathered in Washington on 06 January 2021, only a very small fraction actually went into the Capitol building. Of those, an even smaller fraction committed vandalism or deigned to sit in Mrs. Pelosi's chair. This hardly constitutes insurrection. Had it been an actual insurrection many if not all of the "honorable" men and women there gathered to "represent the will of the people" would have been killed. The criminal acts by some were certainly no greater than those of the people who forced their way in to the Kavanaugh hearings. Yet, the media, the Democrats, most Republicans and those who crave "respectability" have established the narrative of the insurrection incited by President Trump. I am not pushing back on this narrative for the sake of President Trump; I am pushing back on this narrative for the 74.5 million Americans who have lost their voice. What these Americans, if they can actually apprehend what has happened, have gained is the stark awareness that they things in which they have believed about political life in America are merely pretense, pretense, pretense!!!

This could very well the case of a one (or a few) rotten apples spoil the bunch: if we have an understanding of crowd or mob behavior (assuming actual conservatives took part), and if Sharyl Attkisson is correct (ref.: "Black Lives Matter activist who stormed Capitol previously called for violent coup against Trump").
