September 20, 2021The media has spent weeks artificially generating hype and fear about the DC “Justice for J6” rally today, in order to set the stage for what they disgustingly hoped would turn into something they could label “domestic terrorism” and use against conservative Americans in the future.
Don’t believe me about the artificially generated hype? Check out this incredible Twitter thread by Drew Holden with receipts showing exactly what the media has done to manufacture this crisis for political fodder.
🧵Thread🧵
Today’s “Justice for J6” rally consisted mostly of reporters, cops & FBI agents, fizzling out in about an hour.
But in the last few days, the corporate press fearmongered constantly about it.
Will they follow up now that it, unsurprisingly, amounted to nothing? ⤵️

Perhaps the worst of it came from @CNN, who pushed nonsense for days leading up to the event.
“Renewed fears of political violence grip Capitol Hill” actually turned into “more press than protestors.”
Will CNN tell that story now? pic.twitter.com/Z7d08DCMSf

Bringing on a former FBI official who abused his power for political reasons to talk about this “rally” and why it should be taken “very seriously” is laying it on a little thick, don’t you think, @CNN? pic.twitter.com/HXJlTuTg2h

Maybe, just maybe, it wasn’t that right wing media downplayed the rally, they just didn’t deceive their viewers into thinking the rally was going to amount to much of anything, unlike left-wing media, @brianstelter? pic.twitter.com/hLgdRMDu2g

But of course it wasn’t just CNN.@MSNBC gave the event wall-to-wall coverage in recent days. The “700” people estimated proved to be off by a factor of, oh, 7 or so, but who’s counting? pic.twitter.com/RxTvkLY2yO

They had their chief voices trying to convince their viewers that this was the second coming of January 6th, because that’s what gets people to tune in.
Here’s @maddow and @AriMelber, both breathlessly concerned about today’s nothingburger. pic.twitter.com/hIUU9umaZr

There was a terrorist attack that killed a Capitol Police officer (and almost killed another) two months after January 6th, but according to @NPR, a couple dozen losers showing up for a protest is the “biggest security test since Jan. 6”
Deranged. Absolutely deranged. pic.twitter.com/ZGH7FYbLSl

As someone who resides in the Capitol area, I promise you, @nytimes, people aren’t actually “on edge” and it’s now pretty clear that there was never going to be any “turmoil” pic.twitter.com/2eroBjdWXU

@nytimes probably did more to “valorize” January 6th by breathlessly covering today’s gathering of reporters than the handful of people who showed up today. pic.twitter.com/KN5mwqL4ao

In the days leading up to it we also had breathless coverage of Capitol Police’s prep for the non-event, like here from @nytimes and @ABC pic.twitter.com/JNnMNv5TNx

Serious question: was there ever a reason to believe this, @ryanbort /@RollingStone? Doesn’t this sound a little hysterical in retrospect? pic.twitter.com/FqzcuUZNCT

Ultimately, it was an incredibly anticlimactic gathering consisting mostly of ravenous media propagandists, Biden’s new Capitol Police Gestapo, and even some eager counter-protesters. We’re talking dogs, aerial support, construction vehicle barriers, full riot gear, and even “journalists” wearing body armor. Honestly, the police and media presence was hilariously massive considering almost no actual “protesters” showed up.
Watch: The police and reporters far outnumbered attendees at the “Justice for J6” rally in Washington, with fewer than 100 people gathering in support of those accused of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6. https://t.co/yMkGvHQssT pic.twitter.com/FY4zsqo6lu

Still seems like more press than protesters. Less than one demonstrator per member of Congress as the scheduled event begins. pic.twitter.com/6HQjeXKeVA

At the J6 rally on the Mall, protesters are outnumbered by reporters. Massive police presence: helicopter, police dogs, dump trucks lining 3rd St. The cost per protester would be interesting to work out. pic.twitter.com/YjXXTW4Cdi

There’s even some discussion about a number of the “protesters” who did show up actually being undercover Feds. While some people call this a “conspiracy theory,” it really isn’t out of the realm of possibilities considering the recent revelations that the FBI was actually behind the “plot” to kidnap Governor Whitmer. And, as it turns out, the Capitol Police actually detained a “protester” who was, in fact, undercover law enforcement.
Earlier at “Justice for J6” defendants rally:
Police surround masked man reportedly armed with a firearm.
He tells them where the gun is, and they pull out his badge.
He’s undercover law enforcement.
Without disarming or handcuffing him, police extract him from the event. pic.twitter.com/F1n4PeuXkt

I hope the dozens of attendees from today’s Justice for J6 rally make it safely back to their desks at the FBI.

There was one arrest today at the imaginary “J6 rally.” The individual just happened to be an undercover FBI agent. Wow.

And just like that, a “conspiracy theory” is proven once again to be completely true.
As a writer, though, I’m honestly impressed with the manipulative word-smithing by the media in this situation, which is intended to evoke very specific emotions and cast the entire fabricated crisis in a certain light that is the most politically advantageous to the leftist narratives and agendas. They are very good at what they do.
“Fears of political violence grip Capitol Hill”
“Capitol locks down”
“MAGA fans plot”
“Capitol Hill is bracing”
“Threats of violence”
“Mounting… a rally”
“Protesters may arrive with weapons”
Imagine if the media had used this kind of evocative and emotionally charged language to frame the reporting about any of the hundreds of violent and destructive domestic terrorist riots by BLM and ANTIFA last year. Plotting and mounting attacks on cities, private businesses, and federal property. Gripping fear of what was to come when the mobs descended. Locking down in preparation, like all the cities that literally locked down by boarding up all their store fronts and closing everything while the media pretended like it was just another Tuesday and things were boarded up against conservatives (another manufactured crisis). Neighborhoods and communities bracing themselves for violent attacks on people and property.
Imagine if they had warned the public that the rioters “may arrive with weapons,” which many actually did.
Imagine if they had correctly identified the many “threats of violence” by the unruly mobs.
Imagine if the media was objective and truthful in their reporting.
Instead, they are simply partisan propagandists who are paid to craft and promulgate narratives that support and protect leftist causes and priorities.
