Just yesterday, the House Jan. 6 committee announced that it is postponing its ninth and final public hearing on its investigation — originally scheduled to be held and televised, on September 28 at 1 p.m. ET
Surprisingly or perhaps unsurprisingly the home website for the Committee had no
information about the reason for cancellation. The website just has a succinct
caption “*POSTPONED* 09/28/22 SELECT COMMITTEE HEARING”.
Perhaps they do not want the reason for the postponement to be part of
official government records.
They chose to reveal the reasons for the postponement to The
Washington Post their propaganda wing that also masquerades as a new outlet.
People often claim that the media has a Democrat bias. This is because they erroneously assume the mainstream media and the Democrats disparate
entities and the Democrats are somehow influencing the media.
That cannot be further from the truth.
The fact is news media functions like a
department within the Democrat party. At times the ‘news media’ leads and the Democrats in D.C. follow and vice versa.
There is perfect synchronicity between their utterances.
They almost always use identical phraseology to describe any given
incident. Words such as ‘collusion’ or ‘insurrection’ did occur to them simultaneously by coincidence. A nefarious but adept Democrat wordsmith and
mastermind supplied this terminology and the media assiduously followed. They obediently repeated these terms, until it became almost official jargon such that even some Republicans have
used them.
In a joint statement on, January 6th committee
leadership stated
the following:
“In light of Hurricane Ian bearing down on parts of Florida, we
have decided to postpone tomorrow’s proceedings,” said Chairman Rep. Bennie
Thompson, D-Miss., and Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who vice-chairs the committee. We’re
praying for the safety of all those in the storm’s path.”
No new date has been announced yet.
It is customary to postpone all live or public entertainment shows
following natural disasters, as a mark of respect to those suffering.
But the hurricane hasn’t hit Florida yet. Florida is almost 900
miles away from Washington D.C. where the hearing is to take place. Most importantly the
trial is not an entertainment show.
The Democrats claim the hearings have been conducted in defense of democracy and the constitution.
Why then would they postpone an event of such monumental
importance?
Why couldn’t they have their hearing but begin with a somber message in support of Floridians?
There are two main reasons for this postponement.
The first reason is they know that the media and the nation will soon be
totally focused on the hurricane in Florida which means their hearing will receive
no media traction. This is a media trial, if the media is unable to cover it and
amplify its misinformation, it is rendered meaningless.
The second reason it it gives them an excuse to conduct the hearing just before the midterms in November when it will be fresh in the minds of voters.
The Washington Post revealed the ulterior motives of the committee:
“They’ll attempt to do so this spring through public hearings,
along with a potential interim report and a final report that will be published
ahead of the November midterms — with the findings likely a key part of
the Democrat's midterm strategy. They hope their recommendations to prevent
another insurrection will be adopted, but also that their work will repel
voters from Republicans who they say helped propel the attack.”
But the show trial hasn’t received the attention, the players hoped
it would.
The Washington
Post conceded that even Democratic constituents have lost interest in the
committee’s work because of more pressing issues such as record high gas prices, an inflation
rate, etc.
It is not foolish but also insensitive and narcissistic of DC to
presume that the people would ignore issues that affect them personally to focus
on the vicious and personal vendetta against Trump.
It is said that citizens speak via their votes. The GOP Primary in
Wyoming held in mid-August proved that regular Americans aren’t indifferent but
antagonistic towards the show trial.
The de facto leader and brand ambassador of the trial, Liz Cheney
suffered an emphatic
routing during her primary contest. Cheney secured only 48,584 votes, just 29.2% percent of the votes while Hageman secured 109,902 votes, an emphatic 66.0% of the total votes.
The committee has held eight hearings throughout the summer. They had television producers hired to dramatize the proceedings. All of this is straight out of Stalin’s playbook.
The Committee largely
ignored the Capitol security failures on Jan. 6. They ignore the
shooting of an unarmed protestor, air force veteran Ashley Babbit. They
ignored the mysterious
Ray Epps, who was seeing inciting the crowd.
If their goal was to really defend democracy and investigate
the occurrences of January 6th, 2021, they would have insisted that
the committee was truly bipartisan i.e. consisting of Democrats, Establishment Republicans, and MAGA Republicans.
The likes of Cheney often claim that they stand
for the constitution and the rule of law.
If that was really the case, she would have
insisted that Trump’s defense team be allowed
to grill each and every witness and invite witnesses of their choice that the
anti-Trump contingent could question.
But these are Democrats, they do not believe in
freedom or fairness. They do not believe in convincing skeptics, they would
rather shout down orders and issue mandates, and use pejorative epithets for
dissenters.
Hence each and every member of the January 6th
Committee, irrespective of their party affiliation, is not just an opponent but
a vicious hater of President Trump. Every witness is vehemently adversarial towards
Trump. The witnesses mostly rely on conjecture and claims they overheard third
parties making. Never ever are their claims challenged. The more outrageous the
claim the better.
They no longer care to appear neutral.
When Cassidy Hutchinson finished her testimony in
which she made a preposterous claim Trump attempted to seize control of the
beast and assault Secret Service agents, she received
a warm hug from committee members Liz Cheney.
So what happens next?
The season finale will probably air, towards the end of October.
Expect a big media push for the finale much like there is for the season finale
of any show based on fiction.
Expect a major push by the media. Perhaps Tom Hanks will be roped in to narrate a documentary about the insurrection to promote the hearings. Perhaps Sir Elton John will compose the soundtrack.
The finale will be replete with more scandalous, outrageous, scurrilous, and spurious claims. The media will amplify every claim to attack the GOP until the midterms,
This was always the goal of this show trial with an aim to persecute political opponents and eventually outlaw political opposition.
The short-term goal is the mid-terms but the long-term goal is preventing Trump from running.
When they fail to block Trump after the season finale, the show will be renewed for a second will be the second season which will continue till November 2024.
By that time the GOP will be in control of the house.
The question is will they be able to stop the madness or will they be bystanders as they usually are?
