I quit reading when you stated a policeman died from injuries sustained during this event.

Hi Maggie, I love your work and how you go beyond the personal effects of narcissism to shed light on the bigger picture - which most in that field won't go near. But I think the Jan 6th narrative is (mostly), an exaggeration / smear intended to divide us, intended to brand anyone associated with the (very, very bad) "right-wing" as violent and crazy and ignorant - just in time for a media landscape where it was only (some of) those on the right who would even listen to the doctors actually treating covid with repurposed meds, and the doctors /scientists warning that these vaccines are extremely dangerous.

And it worked. My Mom brought up Truth Social as reason to assume Dr Peter McCullough made up what he said to the European Parliament. She couldn't bear the sight of Ron Johnson for a second, when I was at her house the same night Johnson was on the FLCCC webinar. Democrats running for office who support "vaccine" mandates cite Jan 6th as the great threat to democracy, that they of course are going to save.

And there have been a lot of sources that seem too solid to dismiss who claim there really was inteference in the election - and certainly there was in the information environment before the election, with Hunter Biden's laptop - and the fact that info there points to not just Hunter's actions but also his fathers involvement in international corruption ... that probably got us into the war in Ukraine. But for sure, that info should have been honestly reported before the election.

I'm not defending every person who showed up on Jan 6th. Some people were violent, some people broke windows - but many many more who were just there ended up being prosecuted, for doing far less than many people did at BLM protests. There's video from the security cameras of people walking in through a broken window of the front of the building - and in the same view, many more people are walking in through wide open doors.

Not disagreeing about Trump being a narcissist and some people idolizing him, being part of some kind of shared fantasy with Trump where he is a purely good defender of freedom and they are his followers. I'm not a Trump fan, but I no longer see him as this singular great evil. Actually I realize that as unpleasant as narcissists are, they are not as dangerous as psychopaths who instead of wanting their name all over casinos and golf courses, want their tech inside the bodies of everyone. So many politicians are narcissists, finally there is an election where there's a candidate who is not a narcissist, psychopath, or puppet-of-psychopathic-entities. (RFK, Jr).

But citing CNN ... could you revisit those sources, and realize that CNN is ... I would say evil, with much more blood on their hands than any average person who attended Jan 6th. CNN was huge in brainwashing "safe and effective", and generating disdain at anyone skeptical of the shots or who listened to the doctors "selling horse de-wormer". I can't trust anything from any place that was so intense about getting every part of covid backwards, and insulting those who are truly good. I don't see Trump as truly good, but many of the covid doctors are, and CNN, MSNPC, NYT, NPR, MoveOn, Daily Kos, so many more, were horrible to the covid doctors and the info they were trying to share. I don't trust them on anything. . . .

Celia Farber has done some good writing about January 6th, also Elizabeth Nickson has written about it and about election fraud. (And even if the 2020 election was perfectly legit and those who claim otherwise are wrong, Democrats challenged the outcome of every presidential election this century, I remember going to protests about the Bush / Gore election. There was a Harper's article I can't find anymore from before 2016 about stolen elections with many sources, before it was considered an ignorant threat to democracy to question election results.

I think those pushing the Jan 6th was an insurection those bad right wingers are destroying democracy narrative are intending to manipulate, or being manipulated .. like in Cluster B family dynamics, the people have to be divided, with false views of who is really the abuser, and inverted realities ...

Meant with love and respect and so glad you are doing the work you're doing ...
