Brane Space: Why The Insurrection Of January 6th Must Not Be Lost In The News Cycle

The insane events of Wednesday, January 6th, must be etched in the brains of every real American forever - and never forgotten - as much as the attacks of 9/11 for those who were alive then. Because what transpired can never be allowed to happen again, given it shattered our central symbol of democracy and affected the other democracies of the world as well.

Indeed, lost amidst the storming of the nation's Capitol is how many other state capitols were also assaulted by hare-brained, terrorist Trumpies the same day. Protesters backing Trump massed outside statehouses from Georgia to New Mexico on Wednesday, leading some officials to evacuate while cheers rang out at several demonstrations as a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol.

Hundreds of brainwashed Trumpie belligerents gathered in state capitals nationwide to oppose President- elect Joe Biden’s win, waving signs saying “Stop the steal” and “Four more years.” Most of this rabble didn’t wear masks amid the coronavirus pandemic, and many carried guns in places such as Oklahoma, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada and Washington state. There were scuffles in states such as Ohio and California, with some instances of journalists or counter protesters being pepper-sprayed or punched.

New Mexico police evacuated staff as a precaution from a Statehouse building that includes the governor’s office and the secretary of state’s office, shortly after hundreds of flag-waving supporters arrived in a vehicle caravan and on horseback.

Demonstrators in Santa Fe sang “God Bless America,” honked horns and wrongly announced on a megaphone that Trump was the rightful election winner — though Biden won the vote in New Mexico by a margin of roughly 11%.

In Denver Wednesday, hundreds in the state's MAGA cult gathered outside the state Capitol to protest Trump's electoral loss and railed against “establishment Republicans,” Democrats, the news media, the governor (Polis) , the state health department, gun regulations and unsubstantiated election fraud. None of these imbeciles ever processed that the election was one of the most secure in U.S. annals and NO fraud was found. They also failed to grasp that acceptance of the loss of an election - by the other guy simply getting more votes- is the foundation for our democratic Republic. Without such acceptance you could as well turf our whole system into a giant dumpster.

The Denver rally, called “We Are the Storm,” lasted hours as speakers took turns at the microphone. We note here, before going on, "the Storm" is a cockeyed QAnon meme which envisions the mass executions of all Trump's enemies. I mean, the analogy to the rat vermin of ISIS cannot be missed here, which is why one BLM member on MSNBC last night ('The Reid Out') called them "Vanilla Isis". (In Arizona, one of these assholes actually wheeled out a guillotine to behead those who "went against Trump" - including state election officials.)

At the same Denver farce, dozens waved flags with Trump’s name on them as well as signs that read “Stop the steal,” “Media is the virus” and “Crucify antifa.” Nowhere were any brains to be found, any evidence of critical thinking or any I.Q. s over 10. As The Denver Post reported:

"Men and women in military style gear stood in the crowd and at the corners of the Capitol lawn. They wore helmets, knee pads and gloves with hardened knuckles. Several had bear spray strapped to their legs or held riot shields."

Meanwhile, at the same time - 1600 miles to the east in D.C. - Colorado's own Glock -packing bimbo (Lauren Boebert) was on the objection warpath. She and fellow House Reeptards spouted conspiracy theories from right-wing news outlets and social media to justify their objections to Biden's electoral certification. To wit, that it was left-wing saboteurs ("Antifa")carrying out a false flag operation who ravaged the halls of Congress - not the honorable patriots of Trumpland. A lot of this horse manure was spread by Florida felon Rep. Matt Gaetz, e.g.

Rep. Matt Gaetz spread antifa lie and facial recognition firm demands apology and retraction

Excerpt:

Gaetz really doubled down on the day by telling the world that yes, what they saw did actually happen. But even though Donald Trump told those people to come, spoke to those people, and said he would walk them to the Capitol building, it was antifa pretending to be MAGA that actually attempted to coup d’etat. No, I’m not lying to you—that’s what he said. In fact, he said he had proof by way of high-level facial recognition technology! It’s been easily shown that the people Gaetz is claiming were antifa-connected are very much the opposite: They’re well-known white supremacist fascists. But Gaetz’s claims connected to a Washington Times article are being lambasted by the very company said to have made the facial recognition match.

It's truly mind boggling that so many of these forlorn Trumpie asswits - a pox on our nation - are so mentally deficient to actually have believed Gaetz' manufactured codswallop.

In her own grandstanding moment, Bimbo Boebert barked loudly with a straight face: "The Constitution makes it necessary for me to object to this travesty!”

Accusing Arizona of unlawfully amending its voter laws by extending the registration period. Blissfully unaware- or too damned stupid to grasp- any state has the right to make such changes under their own state laws. But unfazed by her demonstration of ignorance and low I.Q. she carried on, declaring in a self-righteous tone:

“It is my duty under the Constitution to object to the electoral votes of the state of Arizona! The members who stand here today and accept the results of this concentrated, coordinated, partisan effort by Democrats — where every fraudulent vote canceled out the vote of an honest American — have sided with the extremist left!”

Confirming once and for all her ranking amongst the lowest "Densan" 'Muricans. (I.e. the group Mensans associate with the bottom 2 percent of I.Q.)

After Boebert's baseless blabbering, Colorado Democratic Rep. Joe Neguse tried his best to gently re-arrange her ravaged neurons (from excessive absorption of QAnon BS), saying:

“In the United States, we accept the results of free and fair elections. We don’t ignore the will of the voters … and attempt to install a preferred candidate into power. It doesn’t happen here.”

Meanwhile, Trump bellowed to his bamboozled cult followers:

“We will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore, and that’s what this is all about.”

After which his MAGA terrorists stormed the U.S. Capitol.

Those who know their American history - not including the Trump MAGA terror tribe - recognized it had been more than 220 years since the U.S. Capitol was ransacked. That was in 1814, just 14 years after the building opened. Then British forces in the War of 1812 tried to burn it down. The invaders looted the building first, and then set the southern and northern wings ablaze — incinerating the Library of Congress. A sudden rainstorm prevented its total destruction.

But that event stands in stark contrast to the terrorism carried out by our own people on Wednesday. Hundreds violating the citadel of our democracy, invading offices, terrorizing lawmakers, rifling through drawers, smashing furniture, pawing historic artifacts and stealing documents - and oh yeah, leaving chewing tobacco spittle behind -- along with 11 Molotov cocktails, two pipe bombs and other paraphernalia, e.g. assault rifles fully loaded.

Who are these people? Steve Schmidt - former GOP strategist provided his insights last night on MSNBC 'Last Word':

"These people are like the blackshirts of Italy, and brownshirts of Germany in the 1930s. They are society's losers. They're on society's fringe. This is an army of the aggrieved and the incited."

Adding that whenever one sees such losers, there are always those in the background manipulating them - like chess pawns - in the name of power. In Schmidt's view "they are more dangerous than all the criminals and terrorists that stormed the Capitol."

Why? Because they engineered and created the memes and propaganda the MAGA losers imbibed -but which they were too stupid to see through. Schmidt names two of the "seditious elites" manipulating the mob - Josh Hawley, a Yale Law school grad, and Ted Cruz - a Harvard law grad. Two who theoretically ought to know better than to stir the "beast" - but find power more enticing. In Schmidt's words, driven by: "The cynicism, the sociopathy, the sickness in their souls, to incite this."

Thus one needs "to always look for such elites, in combination with the losers." And also, "the liars, the propagandists, all those who have lied in the service of Donald Trump."

With regard to Trump, Schmidt asserted he needed to be removed immediately. He had shown himself to be a deluded, deranged individual who commands the world's most potent nuclear arsenal. Adding that even at this hour, the nation remains under siege by this president.

We also know the thugs and terrorists who attacked the Capitol on Wednesday are planning more attacks, especially on inauguration day. But beyond that, we have to reckon with an ongoing insurgency by thousands of domestic terrorists and cells, that could well rival ISIS in Iraq - as security specialist Malcolm Nance pointed out last year in a post-election Real Time episode. All this because the Trumpie cult does not accept or grasp the basic tenet of democracy as articulated by Steve Schmidt last night, and how Trump and his enablers have wrecked it:

"We have seen the wholesale poisoning of American democracy - the faith and belief in the legitimacy of the electoral system - that is required for a democratic republic to survive.

The idea that one party must be willing to lose an election, and then to try to assemble a coalition to come back to prevail in the next election. That's how we make decisions, there are no other alternatives. No other forms of government available for us that protect the dignity of the human being and the freedom of conscience of the human.

The democratic tradition of this country is one of the great miracles in the world. The peaceful transition of power is the greatest things that's ever been invented on America's shores."

The tragic aspect of the January 6th insurrection is the evidence of so many poisoned brains which will never grasp that. And hence likely ensure our democratic Republic is in its waning days, like the Weimar Republic in 1930s Germany. As Schmidt said, and I wrote in an earlier post, unless the losers - candidates and their voters - accept their election loss, there is no way to go but anarchy, bedlam and yes ....terrorism and insurrection, such as we beheld two days ago.

Let's never forget that event and its future import!
