Must watch timeline/documentary on the events of January 6th

This is really well done. For the first time, a true timeline of the events and the various mitigating factors on the day of January 6th 2021 has been put together in video documentary form.

Highly recommended. Free to watch, on:

Nice new picture Chancer cheers
Happy new year mate.
Happy New Year buddy cheers
I'd watch it if i cared.
Or could believe it is a true and accurate timeline with untrue mitigating factors, I mean true mitigating factors, as portrayed by real people or Actors?
I don't even care enough about determining that.
Trump has to get past the Supreme Court and documentaries won't do it.
Besides, what makes either of you think a different Supreme Court can over rule Two different / separate Supreme Court Rulings? Trump should have opted out on his own. The Government can make a very very rich man very very poor in one single swoop.
Maybe they can and maybe they can't. I don't care enough about that too.
Do either of you know who funded the documentary?
Was it Government funded or private?
This can make all the difference in which direction the watcher is taken.
Just seems suspicious, to me, it appears now... right now.
Do either of you know? I'd watch and find out for myself but I figure what's the point? Trump won't quit. Can't quit.
It's all or nothing now baby. Balls and all. W.
I note it isn't running on YT. To me that means it may not check their fact checking. False stuff about Jan 6 doesn't last long on YouTube. Yes the question of whose documentary and who funded it is also important. Funded by the fascist re-election campaign? Funded by the BBC or Al Jazeera? Funded by Putin's nephew? It matters.
The footage was compiled by citizens and citizens groups. Footage is used from police bodycams, journalist footage, footage from citizens, and security camera footage. I'd encourage people to watch it. It's all time stamped and shows what was happening in various places at once. It helps shine a light on different things. There used to be a time where journalists in the mainstream media would have put such a production together. But I think we're past that time. Respect to the citizens who put in the work to be able to knit it all together. It's now in the historical record.
I watched the whole video yesterday.
IF it came from a totally neutral source it would be useful but knowing that Bias is rampant one has to be critical.

It's good as a timeline in that it shows Trump speaking at his rally completely oblivious to the disastrous events unfolding at the Capitol.

It shows the Capitol Police royally mucking up, as they are prone to do which in itself would make a great comedy skit under different circumstances.

It shows one guy planning the storming of the building and being active in orchestrating events. This seems to be the intended fall guy. Blame him and not Trump.

A couple of things which seemed to me to be slightly fake is the police saying repeatedly that "they were set up to fail".
That kind of dialog is unusual.

They're the main points.

In summary. If it can be believed it's good and is an interesting watch.
It touches on many important points. Ray Epps is just one element - it's definitely curious how he was present at so many of the flash points on the day, and his repeated urgings on the morning of J6 and the night of J5 telling people to go IN to The Capitol. For the longest time Epps wasn't charged at all, and even had various Trump-haters coming to his defense (VERY strange). Epps' lawyer is even a prominent Democrat lawyer who has done various work on behalf of Media Matters (the notorious outlet of Democrat hatchet-man David Brock). It just makes no sense - unless Epps was an agent provocateur working to rile people up and ultimately entrap them. Epps faces minor charges compared to others. It's very unlikely he'll see jail time, despite being quite clearly more involved than many others who have faced serious charges and received lengthy sentences. I don't agree it's making him a fall guy. He's just one very obvious example of someone intimately involved in the events of that day who seems to have been protected.

As for Trump, there's zero evidence he encouraged any violence. As you say Trump was giving his speech a mile down the road when the initial breach and skirmishes occurred. At his speech he spoke of walking to The Capitol to "peacefully and patriotically have our voices heard". That's hardly the language of incitement. And then shortly after he concluded his speech he sent out his first tweet urging calm and for law enforcement to be respected.

The police saying they were set up to fail comes from THEIR OWN bodycam footage. You can't fake this. And why wouldn't they feel that way? It's clear that they were vastly under-resourced in terms of manpower that day. In order to get a better understanding of this I'd highly recommend watching Tucker Carlson's interview of then Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund (https://rumble.com/v36fm7t-tucker-carlson-ep.-15-steven-sund.html). Very enlightening.

I found it to be a good watch. There is plenty of footage of protesters not acting in a good way - and it's in no way trying to apologize for them. But likewise it shows police not acting in a good way. That officer - Officer Thau - it's just beyond belief how that guy acted. It just goes to show how much mayhem one single out-of-control rogue cop could cause. It's clear protocols weren't properly followed. Overall I think it provides very important context on how things transpired that day, linking things well via all the different converging timelines.
There is no question the Capitol Police (and MPD present) were set up to fail by the White House. There was adequate advance warning of the potential size and intent of the different participants. We need to compare the support they got for this demonstration compared to the support they received in 1971 when T. Leary organized a demonstration and said we will raise the Pentagon and tear down the Capitol Building. Didn't even get close, LoL

Further, at the time Congress authorized the placing of the US Marine Barracks on 8th Street the legislated purpose of their presence outside the Navy base was to defend the Federal Buildings in Washington, DC. Totally exempt from Posse Comitatas inside DC's city limits. All ending or preventing the Capitol riot needed was a phone call from the White House that was never made. So yeah, the boys in blue were set up by the White House. Who ran the White House that day?
I just wonder about something.
As of the timeline at some point the insurrectionists broke through, ok... yes
but how long after did they take control of the government?
Ken, you are so completely shameless. You know full well that the responsibility to secure The Capitol lied with CONGRESS. It's their jurisdiction. A president can invoke The Insurrection Act (usually after many days of continuous unrest). A president may NOT order National Guard as a substitute for law enforcement. Congress - as well as DC Mayor Bowser - were aware that they could make a request to The Trump Administration ahead of J6 for National Guard backup to bolster security numbers on the day. Outside of a small number of National Guard used for traffic control, no such request was made by Mayor Bowser. Indeed Bowser made it very clear that she did NOT want additional personnel.

As for Congress, Capitol Police Chief Sund's request on January 4th for National Guard backup on J6 was TURNED DOWN. Communications surrounding the decision-making on this in Congress has been completely covered up. Then on J6 itself, Congress waited over an hour after the violence began to request National Guard. By the time they arrived it was evening time - long after the trouble had subsided. Even police from out of State arrived before National Guard did. This is because it takes hours to call up and deploy National Guard if not already in place. They needed to be already in place. They weren't, which is why so many people - including many police who were present at The Capitol on the day - believed they had been set up to fail.

Congress and the DC Mayor should have taken Trump up on his wise and generous offer of National Guard reinforcements to be put in place on the day. Unless, of course, you consider that they may have acted deliberately, to set the day up for chaos to frame and label MAGA and ultimately to try and destroy Trump - something which seems to have backfired badly with Trump leading Biden in polling ahead of this year's election.
