‘A riot is the language of the unheard,’ said Martin Luther King in an entirely different context. Purloined by the American mainstream media, it was used it to justify looting and burning by the far-Left Black Lives Matter movement and Antifa, effectively the paramilitary wing of Democratic Party, for eight long months in 2020, with reporters on multiple channels announcing that the protests were ‘mainly peaceful’, against a backdrop of burning buildings. Instead of criticism of this gross criminality by the Democrats, there was rapturous applause, with mayors and governors refusing offers of federal intervention, even against the declaration of an autonomous zone in Seattle. Far Left vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris not only encouraged Democrats to send donations to bail out militants, she endorsed their criminal violence on television, in the clearest possible terms. Indicating that the rioters would not stop, even after the election, she declared, ‘They’re not going to let up and they should not.’
The Democratic National Convention, where Harris emerged as a failed presidential candidate, refused to condemn the riots, while news of the continuing violence, which seriously affected poor, black urban communities, was kept from voters by the mainstream media which has become the propaganda arm of the Democrats.
Unsurprisingly, the media treated the invasion of the Capitol differently but as prominent independent Afro-American commentator Jason Whitlock said, it was Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion come to life, ‘For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.’ For four years, the millionaire and billionaire elite which controls academia, the mainstream media, politics, popular culture, and the sports world has framed Trump supporters as racist deplorables, worthy of elimination from society. More recently, those supporters have been denied a hearing everywhere when they sought legal remedy for their allegations of widespread voter fraud. But while the members of the BLM typically search for, burn and destroy their targets well into the wee hours, the deplorables soon returned to their hotel rooms. Whitlock commended their restraint. The Capitol, he says, is sacred ground for the elite. This is where members of their global club exchange cash for influence and privilege, with politicians on incomes of only $150,000-a-year becoming multimillionaires while building cosy relationships with Big Tech lobbyists and American corporations looking to curry favour with Red China. Biden and his family have emerged as the most glaring example of this phenomenon but mainstream and social media suppressed news until the election was over.
No serious journalist could ever conclude that President Trump incited the invasion of the Capitol. He specifically requested that the walk peaceful. An invasion, which he did not even envisage, would endanger what he most wanted; an investigation of fraud and unconstitutional changes to electoral laws. Had he called on his supporters to invade the Capitol, there would have been tens of thousands of them there — not a few hundred. Moreover, the invasion began before he finished speaking. Videos have been posted showing police inviting people into the grounds and Trump supporters restraining rioters from breaking windows, accusing them of being Antifa. Violence is totally inconsistent with Trump supporters past behaviour suggesting the perpetrators were agents provocateurs or extremists Trump always rejected.
