Putins Daddy, it was mostly Trump supporters who entered the Capitol on Jan.6. ANTIFA's role was as provocateurs, which they clearly were, although they may not have been the only provocateurs present. They relied on generating a mob mentality among well meaning Trump supporters based on Benjamin Frnaklin's observation that "a mob has a thousand arms and legs but no head". There may also have been some private agendas among more fringe groups present like Q-anon and the Proud Boys, as well as some anarchist groups.

I saw the same thing happen in Moldova in the 2009 "Twitter Revolution" and it is why I advised anyone who asked my opinion not to go to the Stop the Steal Rally. What the Communists did in Moldova in 2009 with a student rally against election fraud in the just concluded parliamentary election was identical to what the Democrats did to set up January 6. Both situations relied on three things, deliberately light security so that it was easy for things to get out of hand, provocateurs to be sure they would get out of hand, and a well organized blame game against political opponents afterward.

I was in Moldova on a long term mission to advise the pro-western political parties there, and my office was three blocks from ground zero of the Twitter Revolution. When I first heard of the Stop the Steal Rally on January 6, I immediately had a foreboding that the same playbook would be used in Washington, DC.

The good news in Moldova, was that the voters got a new election later in 2009, and the pro-western parties won. Our polling showed that Moldovan voters overwhelmingly did not beleive the Coummunists' blame game, and even a majority of the Communists own voters did not. That happened even though the actual damage in the Twitter Revolution was more severe with the Presidency building and the Parliament building both badly damaged. Hopefully, American voters will be as wise in responding to the Democrats J6 blame game.

Having practiced criminal law for decades, I have been appalled at some of the things I have read about how the J6 cases are being handled. They do not reflect the standards of American justice that I have been familiar with.

Illegal immigration is also likely to have a big impact on elections to the EU parliament, also due in 2024. Polls taken across all the nations in the EU show a big increase in vote for populist / nationalist anti-immigration parties, while the traditional right holds the ground it has, and the socialists, liberals, and greens will suffer big losses. The polls show that it is likely that a combination of the traditional right and the populist / nationalist anti-immigration right will hold a solid majority in the new EU parliament. Public disgust at the invasion of Europe by Third World illegal alien "asylum seekers" is at the heart of the rise of the populist right, although other issues like the idiot "green" regulations of the EU also play a role.

You are a really gullible follower of this doomsday cult of climate alarmism, aren't you Bobbie, a total lemming? You really should get some professional help in deprogramming. The honest scientists are telling us it is total BS.

Not true at all. It was Antifa that stormed the Capitol and they should be punished!

We should, because we have no choice. Past the tipping point. Now it’s time to sit back, relax and start cooking!

Maybe Bobbie has forgotten the articles that have been posted here on people who had gender transition surgery, and life-altering drugs, as children and are now suing their doctors because they finally came to their senses and embraced their biological gender, only after the doctors had ruined their bodies. A couple of those cases are here in North Carolina. Maybe he has forgotten the articles posted here mentioning the detransitioners who had this done to them as children testifying to Congress and in state legislatures pleading for the politicians to stop this being done to other children.

And then there is the UK in the article above, where it was indeed done to children, as reported in the British press, which I think knows more about this than an internet troll. The Tavistock Center in north London was a gender transition center speciically geared for children, fortunately now closed. There are lawsuits against the doctors who did it there, too.

The actual video is embedded in the linked article, so of course it IS true as most of us understand that word. However, Bolshevik Bob always seems to define "true" as being "consistent with the leftwing narrative". Bob is welcome to his own opinion but not his own "facts".

And any one who passed algebra I can do the emissions calculations on 48 million barrels of oil per day. Every day. And that’s just oil.
Anyone care to do that?

Well, lets see, who is more believable, two major British newspapers or a far left internet troll who calls himself "Big Bob" whose only source of information seems to be the far left talking points.

None of this is true.

So, it appears that those legislators that continuously choose to drive legislation in favor of solar and wind can be considered prisoners of themselves as to their present opinion, because they refuse to listen to another's opinion, or they are simply $$$$$ whores.
