The January 6, 2021, “tourists” who trashed the Capitol, injured 140 law enforcement personnel, and tried ending American democracy – wanted to hang Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi.
The British, in 1775-1781, wanted to hang the 56 signers of TheDeclaration of Independence, were actively seeking to capture them – and hang them all, including Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Benjamin Rush, James Wilson; and most likely, the commanding general of the rebel army – George Washington.
Those 57 men, and many others, were designated as “traitors.” Had the British won, they’d have been prosecuted as such. Like Nathan Hale.
There is little difference between what the British wanted to do in 1776 and what the “tourists” wanted to do January 6, 2021 – end American democracy.
What is the difference between Benedict Arnold and the January 6 planners?????
Calling the January 6 rioters and planners “patriots” is an insult to all true Americans. It is an even bigger insult to the one million plus Americans who lost their lives defending America; and the many millions who’ve been wounded; and the many other millions who serve3d in this nation’s military services.
“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”
[Thomas Paine]
Following World War II, war crimes trials were held. The “crimes against humanity” that were documented to have been perpetrated were punished – so THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
We are now [June 19, 2022] only part way through the documentation of the many crimes against America, American democracy, American elections, American citizens, the TRUTH itself, that have been perpetrated by one EVIL CON MAN, his enablers, his “true believer” supporters.
The purpose of the four, so far, major investigations of the EVIL CON MAN, is THAT NEVER AGAIN WILL AMERICAN DEMOCRACY BE THREATENED BY SUCH AN EVIL FORCE.
America survived the “Watergate Crisis.” America. MIGHT have survived the treason around the January 6 insurrection. WE. MIGHT…… have…….survived…..
The “Watergate crisis” was ended by the BIPARTISAN efforts of PRINCIPLED people. The January 6 insurrection has NOT. YET. BEEN. ENDED; crucially, it is only minimally a bipartisan effort.
Therein lies the danger of January 6. In 1972-74, PRINCIPLED people in both major parties acted to end it; BUT – it was the action by PRINCIPLED people in the perpetrator’s party that convinced him to resign.
The DANGER of the January 6 treason is that most major figures in the perpetrator’s party are not stepping forward as did their 1972-74 counterparts. In so doing, they become ACCOMPLICES to potential future damage. The CON MAN’s “true believers” accept the incredible lies. – indeed, many are running for election ON THE LIES.
People who deny documented reality [like global warming] will eventually die in the fantasyland they’ve created.
If the Russians and Chinese are smart, they’ll just let “us’ kill each other.
A house divided against itself cannot stand.
“We must all hang together or assuredly we shall all hang separately.” [Benjamin Franklin, 1776]
