Capitol Riot One-Year Anniversary: Was it a False-Flag Attack?

Amateurish planning, delayed police response and presence of agent provocateurs in crowd offers indication that Deep State was behind it.
On January 6, 2021—one year ago today—a mob of pro-Trump supporters laid siege to the U.S. Capitol, causing more than $30 million in property damage and as many as seven deaths.
At that time, a Joint Session of Congress was convening to perform its constitutional obligation to count the electoral votes for President and Vice President and officially announce the results of the 2020 election, which the rioters viewed as illegitimate.
Upon entering the building, they disrupted the Joint Session of Congress, vandalized, and stole property, ransacked offices, and threatened the lives of elected leaders such as Vice President Mike Pence, who sanctioned the election result, and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who had been branded as “the devil.”
Since those events, .[1]
In November, Fox News host Tucker Carlson caused a stir when he hosted a documentary series, “Patriot Purge” that branded the Capitol riots as a “false-flag” terrorist attack.
According to Carlson, the riots were provoked by violent left-wing antifa activists, the FBI and other intelligence agencies in an effort to discredit the pro-Trump movement and political right.
Carlson was derided by mainstream news outlets as a “conspiracy theorist” and compared to maligned figures such as Alex Jones, who hosts a show that aims to expose the nefarious machinations of the “deep state.”[2]
But there is some substance to what Carlson is alleging—particularly with regards to the FBI and other intelligence agencies—though not with regards to Black Lives Matter and antifa.
Agent Provocateurs in the Crowd“Patriot Purge” presents the view that the pro-Trump mob that stormed the Capitol included numerous agent provocateurs.
Witnesses indeed reported that they saw groups of men wearing camouflage uniforms and black gear who resembled provocateurs.
The New York Times reported in September that there were at least two FBI informants in the Capitol riot crowd. A study by Revolver News, a pro-Trump news site, found unindicted conspirators to be among the most aggressive.
Thomas Caldwell, leader of the far-right Oath Keepers group, which was accused of being one of the chief organizers of the riot, was a former Naval Reserve intelligence officer and FBI agent. One of the unindicted co-conspirators was his wife.
Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys, another chief organizer of the riot, was an FBI informant.
The very first breach of the Capitol’s police barricades at 12:50 p.m. was coordinated by a former Marine Sergeant from Arizona, Ray Epps, who was removed from the FBI’s Capital Violence Most Wanted List in July—one day after Revolver exposed the FBI’s protection of known Epps associate and Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes.[3]
Rhodes had organized and activated a plan to use violence on 1/6 through a series of encrypted Signal messages beginning at 1:38 p.m.—as Trump concluded his speech at the National Mall and an hour before Oath Keepers lieutenants rushed the Capitol doors.
The FBI has been unable to identify one of Epps’s co-conspirators—despite having a full-frontal photo of him.

[Source: revolver.news]Another suspicious figure is John Sullivan, who filmed Ashli Babbitt being shot. He was exposed as an FBI provocateur who had infiltrated antifa and Black Lives Matters in order to cast them in a bad light and put them in jail.
A Poorly Planned Inside Job?“Patriot Purge” includes an interview with Emily Rainey, a former army psychological officer who said that, if the “capitol riots was an insurrection, it was the most poorly planned ever.”
This would give credence to the theory that the riots were stage-managed, with an ulterior purpose. Rep. Steven Horsford (D-Nev.) expressed belief that the riots were “an inside job.”
Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-Calif.) raised the question of possible collusion among some Capitol Police officers who pulled down barricades for the rioters and, in another instance, stopped for a photo with one of them.
House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) told a radio station that Democrats did not yet know if the failures by Capitol Police were the result of “poor planning or whether it was because there was certain kinds of infiltration”—which is precisely what Carlson has suggested.

Chemical Giant BASF Puts 1.5 Million Americans at Risk of Cancer
By Max Blau, ProPublica Lylla Younes, ProPublica
BASF, producer of ingredients for America’s most popular soaps, surface cleaners and dishwasher detergents, operates two dozen plants in the U.S. Emissions from those plants expose an estimated 1.5 million Americans to elevated cancer risks, a ProPublica analysis found.
Hollie Walker cherished the simplicity of her life in White Stone, South Carolina, a tiny community on the outskirts of Spartanburg. In the quiet of the country, she and her husband raised their two sons in a yellow house on 37 acres of secluded land, where they hiked in the woods and swam in their lake.Today, the area is home to a one-room post office, two churches, and a shooting range open three days a week. For years in the 1990s, Walker worked behind the counter at the post office.
There used to be a bar called the White Stone Mall on the same stretch of highway, where Walker would sip beers, shoot pool and chat with workers getting off their shifts from a chemical plant across the street.
She didn’t know much about the German-owned company, BASF, that operated the plant. After BASF expanded its site in the 2000s, demolishing the bar in the process, she had little reason to stop along that highway, except when the railroad gates halted traffic.
The passing trains carried tank cars of chemicals bound for White Stone’s BASF plant, a fleeting moment in an epic multi-state journey during which BASF transforms natural gas into specialized, secretive compounds that are the building blocks of ubiquitous cleaning products.
BASF isn’t a household name like Procter & Gamble, but the ingredients it creates are essential to the success of that company’s products, allowing dirt stains to be lifted from clothes and egg yolk to be washed off plates.
The long, winding path from shale rock to the kitchen cabinet contributes to massive sales for BASF, the world’s largest chemical maker. But for the company’s neighbors, the journey leaves behind a trail of toxic pollution that has placed hundreds of thousands of people — including Walker — in harm’s way.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency aspires to minimize the number of people exposed to emissions that increase excess cancer risk above 1 in 1 million. That risk level means that if 1 million people in an area were exposed to toxic air pollutants over a presumed lifetime of 70 years, there would likely be at least one case of cancer on top of those from risks people already face.
But a ProPublica analysis found that the EPA effectively allows two dozen BASF plants nationwide to expose an estimated 1.5 million Americans to elevated cancer risks greater than 1 in 1 million.
EPA rules also say that plants should never expose people to an additional lifetime cancer risk that exceeds 1 in 10,000. Yet an estimated 2,800 people who live near BASF plants around the country face risks at least that high because of the company’s emissions, according to our analysis.
Our analysis is based on an EPA screening tool that uses data reported by companies such as BASF. It cannot be used to assess the cause of individual cancer cases, but can identify geographic areas of potential concern.
BASF’s footprint of cancer-causing air pollution is larger than that of any other foreign-owned company in the U.S. and is the fourth-largest toxic footprint among all companies operating in this country, according to our analysis.

Omicron Spares U.S. ICUs So Far, Mirroring South Africa
Bloomberg
U.S. hospitals are so far seeing significantly fewer severe outcomes from the Omicron wave than they saw in past COVID-19 spikes, mirroring the experience of South Africa and the U.K. Even New York, the uber-dense site of one of the nation’s worst outbreaks, is seeing similar results.
In the U.K., the general pattern of lower hospitalization has held up so far even as cases surged, as the Financial Times’ John Burn-Murdoch showed Tuesday.

Pentagon Fails Audit (yet Again!) – $35 TRILLION still MISSING
Pentagon “loses” 50 cents of every dollar allocated by congress.
December 31, 2021 by Dave Lindorff
The Pentagon’s $35 Trillion Accounting Black HoleThe Pentagon failed its audit amid a now $35 trillion scandal (yes, trillion) – Lee Camp
That’s what should have been the biggest news of 2021.
Instead, the story, which broke on November 17, was largely ignored or buried.
The nation’s two main newspapers, the Washington Post and the New York Times, have simply ignored it.
Cold War is good for business: US contractors rejoice at the new Red Scare
Other news organizations stenographically quoted Pentagon officials as admitting that they “failed again” but saw “progress,” and as promising that they would achieve a “clean” audit by… get this … 2027.
The Pentagon, with some $3 trillion (give or take a trillion but who’s counting?) in assets and a record current 2021 budget of $738 billion, has for the third year in a row failed its audit.

With Clinton Brand Discredited, Its High Time to Reopen Investigation into Death of Vince Foster
By Jeremy Kuzmarov
Covert Action Magazine
Vince Foster was the highest federal official to die since JFK. His death was ruled a suicide; however, strong evidence suggests that he was murdered.
Shortly after 6 p.m. on July 20, 1993, following two 911 calls, the U.S. Park Police came upon the body of Vincent W. Foster, White House Counsel, and Bill and Hillary Clinton’s personal lawyer, who had come to Washington, D.C., after working closely with Hillary at the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Foster’s body was found lying face up, head up on the side of a steep slope in Fort Marcy Park, an old Civil War structure in McLean Virginia—located only 8 minutes away from CIA headquarters—on a dirt path in front of an old cannon. With his head blood-stained, Foster was still clutching the .38 colt revolver he supposedly shot himself with, his thumb trapped by the trigger.
On the day of his death, Foster had left his office in the White House’s West Wing at 1 p.m. after eating lunch there. Supposedly, he jumped in his Honda, walked to a secluded corner of the park and killed himself.
Strangely, no one had seen Foster from the moment he had left the West Wing to the time his body was discovered—even though his face had been splashed across the news.[1]
Also, no one heard the thunderous noise of a gunshot and police investigators initially did not find his car keys on him, raising questions about how he got to the park.
In the Foster case also, they would have expected a huge pool of blood—a mess—when only a small trickle of blood was found running from his mouth.[3]
The gun itself appeared clean—as if it had been wiped.[4]
Further Evidence that the Crime Scene Was StagedThere were several other suspicious things about Foster’s death to contradict the official story. These included:
No soil found on Foster’s shoes despite him allegedly having walked down a dirt path. Everyone who walked down the path had soil samples on their shoes.[5]The bullet that killed Foster could not be located.[6]None of the 26 people who viewed Foster’s body before the autopsy saw entrance and exit wounds from the bullet that allegedly killed him.[7]No fingerprints on the gun and no gunpowder was found on Foster’s tongue. There was also no disfigurement of the mouth or chipped teeth as is usual for a gun shot through the mouth.[8]Foster’s family could not identify the .38 colt revolver as being his.Foster’s eyeglasses were found some 19 feet from his head, or 13 feet beyond his shoes, indicating the staging of the scene.[9]A gash on Foster’s neck and wine stain on his shirt has never been explained along with the presence of semen in his underpants.[10]The first witness and police officer on the scene reported that they did not find a gun in Foster’s hand, indicating that a gun may have placed next to him afterwards.[…]
As the Clintons’ personal lawyer, Foster knew more than any living person about the Clintons’ finances and sub rosa campaign financing, tax evasion practices, shady associations,[43] and the Whitewater land deal—the focus of a prolonged legal investigation led by Kenneth Starr.

What Price Progress: Evaluating the 20th and 21st Century
Episode 33: The Transformative 20th and 21st Century
The Big History of Civilizations (2016)
Dr Craig G Benjamin
Film Review
The main theme of this lecture is the unprecedented technology progress mankind has made in the 20th and early 21st century manifesting, allowing it not only to dominate the planet but to threaten most other species to extinction. Benjamin cites
an explosion in global population (adding 5 billion people in the 20th century) and a doubling in life expectancy from 31 to 66massive innovation in communication, information sharing and collective learning.massive increase in the destructive potential of global militaries owing to the development of nuclear weapons and willingness to bomb civilians. Important byproducts of military spending included penicillin, radar, synthetic rubber and jet engines.development in the ability to move people and goods long distances cheaply and efficientlygreater control of energy use (via development of nuclear, solar and wind), coupled with risk we may destroy civilization unless we reduce our reliance on fossil fuels.His introduction to the topic is reasonable, beginning with a description of the brutal suppression of colonial independence movements in the early 20th century by European powers.
Otherwise he makes a number of assumptions I disagree with. In contrasting strong US and weak Soviet economic growth, he credits the US use of “entrepreneurial markets” to promote innovation. He totally omits the obvious role of the US imperialism in hijacking Third World resources and labor. With the Soviet Union, wealth flowed in the opposition direction, with Moscow using its wealth to shore up poorer allies, such as Cuba, Egypt and Nigeria. He also neglects the federal government’s massive subsidization of US innovation. Since the end of World War II, most innovations in medicine and information technology are developed by the US government and turned over to private corporations to mass produce.
Other points I disagree with:
His statement that vaccines and antibiotics are the main basis for increased global life expectancy. Epidemiological research shows a much larger role for improved nutrition and improved sanitation than medical interventions.His claim 20th century technological achievements allow modern humans to live better than ancient aristocrats. This would only apply to the middle class lifestyles of industrialized countries. His remarks clearly don’t apply to inner city residents, America’s growing homeless population or the majority of the Third World.His claim industrial agriculture has allowed the global food supply to outstrip population growth for the first time. Unfortunately he neglects to mention that this has come at the expense of destroying most of the world’s topsoil and contaminating most of its fresh water.His claim GMOs increase crop yields, though most farmers report the exact opposite. .His claim gender divisions between men and women have “broken down,” even though women still earn much less than men and continue to suffer high rates of sexual and domestic violence that is rarely prosecuted.His claim that “corrupt rulers and massive debt” sabotaged new 20th century capitalist economies in the Muslim world, Africa and South America. He neglects to mention these rulers were usually puppets installed by the US.Film can be view free on Kanopy with library card.

Short-staffed NYC schools asking teachers with mild COVID symptoms to return to classroom
By Juliana Kaufman
Business Insider
In NYC, COVID-positive teachers who are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms will return to classrooms after 5 days.Teachers who fit the bill will not have to test negative before heading back.At least 96% of teachers abided by NYC’s August mandate to one vaccine shot before the start of school.As students return to school amid a record-breaking spike of COVID-19 cases in New York City, some might be taught by teachers who tested positive just five days earlier.
The latest protocols now say that teachers and school-based staff who have tested positive but are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms can return after five days instead of 10, according to an email from the Department of Education to teachers, which was viewed by Insider. The DOE did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.
The new protocol stems from guidance issued by the state that says essential workers can return after five days of isolation when there are “critical” staffing shortages, and applies to fully vaccinated people who have had two shots of the mNRA vaccine or one shot of J&J at least two weeks prior to their positive test. In August, former mayor Bill de Blasio mandated that all teachers get at least one shot by the start of school, which 96% of teachers did.
It’s the latest group of workers to be told to return to the workplace after contracting COVID-19 — and another situation that illustrates the new pandemic workplace normal as some essential workers might head back earlier than their peers. The new protocol says that non-school based staff should still quarantine for 10 days.
“Like every school is in a staffing crisis right now, because of the number of people that are sick, or taking care of sick family members,” Liat Olenick, an elementary school teacher, told Insider. “There’s a lot of pressure on teachers to return after five days, which I really don’t believe is safe.”
For teachers who test positive, symptoms that would allow them to return include a “minimal cough” — they can’t be “coughing up phlegm” — and symptoms have to be mild or improving. Teachers will have to distance themselves if they take off their “well-fitting higher-level face covering” to eat or drink. They also must “must continue to stay at home outside of work” and “observe” other elements of isolation until 10 days pass.
They will not need a negative test to return to school.
When reached for comment, a spokesperson for the United Federation of Teachers said that its current guidance is “the staff member must be symptom-free,” and that anyone who still feels ill should not come to school.

Study: Chemical Additives in Highly Processed Foods Destroy Gut Health
A study published in the journal Gastroenterology found additives used in ultra-processed foods have a detrimental impact on gut health, which can lead to an “array of chronic inflammatory diseases.”
Good gut health is tied to a healthy brain, heart and a strong immune system. So what happens when chemicals in our food harm our gut?
A new study published in the journal Gastroenterology found synthetic additives in highly processed food can have “detrimental impacts” on our gut and cause an “array of chronic inflammatory diseases.”
Exposure to food additives has increased dramatically with the rise in ultra-processed food. Synthetic additives and emulsifiers are used in highly processed food to enhance texture and extend shelf life.
To measure the impact of food additives on gut health, scientists conducted a randomized controlled-feeding study at the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Human Phenomic Science.
The study examined what happens when healthy people eat carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), a thickening agent used in processed food, including food labeled gluten-free.
Some emulsifiers commonly added to food (such as lecithin) are a natural component of unprocessed foods, the study’s authors said, while others such as CMC are synthetic.
Scientists analyzed 16 healthy volunteers between the ages of 18 and 60, some of whom consumed only emulsifier-free diets and others who consumed an identical diet enriched with 15 grams per day of CMC for 11 days.
The study participants ate the same western-style diet, with the only difference being portion size.
The research showed that eating CMC increased gut inflammation and pain or discomfort after eating, and resulted in less diverse gut flora — a “hallmark of various disease states,” said the study authors.
The study’s authors wrote:
“These results support the notion that the broad use of CMC in processed foods may be contributing to increased prevalence of an array of chronic inflammatory diseases by altering the gut microbiome and metabolome.”
The research expands on mounting evidence linking highly processed food to inflammatory diseases including inflammatory bowel disease (IBS) and metabolic syndrome, a cluster of ailments that increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
Both IBS and metabolic syndrome stem from alterations in gut flora, according to the authors of the study.
Altering the bacteria in our gut can have serious consequences to our health, including affecting our ability to ward off infectious diseases and cancer. So why are chemical additives like CMC, with known health effects, being added to our food?
According to the study, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the 1960s approved — without proper safety testing — CMC and some other emulsifiers for use in food, partly because the body doesn’t absorb the chemical well, instead mostly excreting it.
But that doesn’t prevent the additive from interfering with our gut flora, the authors said:
“Such passage through the intestine allows these products to directly interact with gut microbiota and the intestinal mucosa. For example, CMC has been shown to impact gut transit time and alter fecal bile acid profiles.
“More recent studies show that CMC impacts human microbiota composition and gene expression in vitro, and in mice, wherein its impacts on gut microbiota promote the development of colitis or metabolic syndrome.”

Facebook’s gigantic data farm planned for Netherlands causing a severe energy problem
Facebook’s massive carbon footprint threatens Dutch climate targets.
Facebook has been hit by an outcry over plans to build a giant data centre in the Netherlands that will use as much electricity as the nation’s railway system or a major city.
Meta, the social media giant’s parent company, says it has stipulated that the 166-hectare (410-acre) complex at Zeewolde must be run from renewable power sources.
However, the plan is rapidly becoming the biggest headache for a new, fragile coalition government because its sheer scale threatens the nation’s climate change targets.

Rand Paul Vows To Bring Fauci To Justice If GOP Wins Back Senate In Midterms
NWO Report
Source: Steve Watson
Senator Rand Paul has vowed to directly go after Anthony Fauci and bring him to justice over repeated lies while under oath as regards his involvement in gain of function research that took place at Wuhan virology labs.
During a recent interview with his father, former Congressman Ron Paul, the Senator said that if the GOP wins, and he is once again elected, “I will be chairman of a committee in the Senate. We will use the subpoena power to bring forth all the records.”
“Right now they send us records. If we ask about their discussions, covering up where the virus came from, its origins in the lab, they white it all out,” Paul continued, referring to Democrats in power.
“They redact all the information and send us a blank piece of paper and they won’t tell us about their conversations,” the Senator further urged, adding that if power transfers back to Republicans, “We’ll get to the root of everything.”
Paul predicted that should this happen, Fauci will immediately retire and that it would be the “best thing right there for the country because he’s been so damaging.”
“All these blue state governors listen to him and think that it’s science to close a restaurant at 10 o’clock at night or to say that we have to have 25 percent of patrons,” The Senator explained, adding “There’s no evidence that any of the mitigation, any of the rules, and mandates changed the trajectory of the virus at all.”
If Republicans do win back the Senate, Paul is likely to be a front runner to take up the Chair of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP).
Elsewhere during the interview, Paul warned that thousands of Americans are dying from COVID every month because Fauci is obsessed with pushing vaccines in place of therapeutic treatments that are effective in treating the virus.
