I remember this is the Political Moonshine, so it defaults to politics. And, of course, another expert microanalysis on our current political situation. That being said, the macro picture must be understood to decipher why we see what we see happening both in politics and society. The West is deliberately being de-elevated while the East is rising, albeit all by sophisticated design. When one comes to grips with this fact, we can deduce that We, The People in America, will stop nothing; the best we can hope for is to slow it down. Trump is NOT the answer. He is NOT the solution. MAGA missed the class on psyops reverse psychology and counterintelligence. Politics is NOT the answer to America's demise. In order for some ethical and moral underpinnings to be returned to the persona of America, the IC must be heavily neutered, if not altogether reworked or ultimately eliminated. The likelihood of this being accomplished by the "grassroots" is about as likely as Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid riding in on white horses to save the day. So we watch, wait, and prepare for the inevitable. This is NOT capitulation OR admitting defeat; this is understanding the WAR, not just the individual battles.

Great analysis, as usual. We can all see what’s happening event by event, but it is always helpful to have someone connect the dots into a narrative and a trend line. Thanks for helping us separate the signal from the noise.

Here’s additional information about Pence and J6. When he says he “had no authority” to reject the electors, he is correct. But only because the Congressional activities that day had been suspended due to protestors in the Capitol building. When Congress resumed that night it was an “emergency session” - called by Pelosi - with special rules that did not allow any Senator or Representative to raise an objection for debate and vote. It was a rubber stamp session under emergency rules. Thus, Pence had nothing on which to rule.

This was always the plan. Entice protestors into the building to create a situation allowing for suspension of the session and reconvening under emergency rules. This is also why the pipe bomber has never been caught. The pipe bombs were the backup in case they couldn’t get folks to enter the building.

Once you understand this, everything the Feds did make perfect sense... no National Guard, publishing a restricted area notice the night before, violating use of force rules to antagonize the crowd, Ray Epps and his colleagues encouraging folks to enter the building, unlocking the doors, inviting the crowd in, escorting early arrivals to the chambers, etc. They had to have a “riot” to have a reason to suspend and reconvene under emergency rules.

I have no doubt Pence was in on it, and that he played his role. But he is correct that in the night emergency session he had no authority.
