Just yesterday, Tucker Carlson aired the first of a series of shows based on 40,000 hours of security camera footage from Capitol Building from January 6th, 2021 provided to him by Speaker Kevin McCarthy.
The
episode debunked various Democrat hoaxes
Jacob
Chansley (pejoratively branded by the left as the QAnon Shaman) wasn’t violent
or destructive, the footage shows the Capitol police accompanying him as he
ambled across the building.

Sen.
Josh Hawley wasn’t fleeing from the building petrified of a violent mob, he was
the last among the lawmakers to be ushered out by Capitol Police.
Police
Officer Brian Sicknick was walking normally with a helmet on his head
disproving the theory that he was bludgeoned on the head by violent Trump
supporters.
Rep.
Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga, whom the Democrats accused of conducting a
"reconnaissance mission" prior to the ‘insurrection’ was actually
offering a tour to constituents in a congressional building down the street
from the Capitol.
Ray
Epps, contrary to his sworn testimony, was at the Capitol protest scene for at
least 30 minutes past the time he told the committee that he had left for his
hotel.

Among
the unanswered questions was why didn't former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif, receive any blame for dereliction of duty, despite being responsible for the security
at D.C.
To
dig deeper Carlson interviewed a former Capitol Police officer Tarik
Johnson who was present that day.
Johnson revealed that despite pleas for help, he received no directives from his superiors such as from Capitol Police Chief Assistant Yogananda Pittman.
The
federal intel and law enforcement agencies also received warnings of a massive
disturbance at the Capitol on Jan. 6, yet they too did not keep on-duty officers
informed about the possibilities.

Since
Johnson, whose role was to evacuate lawmakers safely, didn’t receive
instructions from his superiors he took matters into his own hands.
Johnson
said a Trump supporter placed the MAGA hat on his head as he waded through
the crowd. Despite being a Biden voter, Johnson said he kept wearing it to
avoid any confrontation with the crowds.
The
Democrat narrative was the members of Congress in D.C. were in danger that day. Since
they have an inflated opinion of themselves and think of themselves as the
equivalent of the state – their being in danger was seamlessly translated into US
Democracy being in danger.
In a democracy whenever there is peril, you look to law enforcement for protection. If the ‘insurrection’ narrative is believed then those allowing the insurrection to occur should have been punished, especially the top law enforcement officials and their superiors, one of whom happens to be then House Speaker Pelosi.
But
nothing of the kind occurred.
Johnson
who at least attempted to quell the situation indefinitely suspended. He
eventually resigned and lost his pension.
Johnson’s
superior Pittman who withheld vital information from her subordinates causing matters
to exacerbate was elevated by Pelosi to acting chief of
Capitol Police. Pittman is currently the head of security at the University of
California Berkeley, near Pelosi's constituency.
That
was not all, the January 6 Committee never called on Johnson to testify.
Johnson
opined the Committee was mostly “focused on Donald Trump and not the failures
of the Capitol Police."
As
expected the D.C. Democrat establishment and their PR agencies that masquerade
as the media went ballistic because their falsehoods were debunked with proof.
Senator
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer demanded that Rupert Murdoch and Fox News prevent
Carlson from airing further episodes on the January 6th footage.
The usual suspects in the GOP such as Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell, Thom Tillis from North Carolina, and Mitt Romney from Utah sided with Schumer.
The
mainstream media accused Carlson of doing what they do on a daily basis –
spreading malicious and baseless propaganda.
The Federalist’s Jordan Boyd alleges that searching For Carlson’s J6 Videos on YouTube leads users to ‘Fact Checkers’ who push the Democrat narrative. Only Twitter, thanks to Mr. Musk, placed no restrictions on the material.
Citizens are probably so accustomed to the blatant dual standards in D.C. and in the media that it ceases to shock them. They take it in their strides and move on.
But
one must not judge these demands for press censorship and reprisals against dissent by current standards but instead by the high standards of a functioning civil democracy.
We revisit the basics.
In
a democracy, the citizen is supreme.
Since all citizens cannot govern simultaneously, they elect a representative to govern on their behalf to whom they lend their power. These representatives do not own power they merely have access to power on a temporary basis.
It is the citizens who own that power. It is the citizens who are joint owners of all public property. It is the citizens to whom representatives report to the citizen. This is why they are known as public servants.
Transparency
and the periodic release of factual information are essential for a democracy.
Since
all citizens cannot hold their representatives accountable all the time, the
press is assigned the task of asking tough questions and demanding
transparency. By default, the press should have an adversarial relationship
with the establishment.
Government agencies also have an important function to protect democracy and ensure that the elected representative doesn’t usurp their authority and doesn’t coopt agencies to follow their agenda.
Alas,
the watchdogs have become lapdogs who wag their tails when a biscuit is tossed
in their direction. These lapdogs crawl when asked to bend and prostrate
servilely when asked to crawl.
Social
media which should have been facilitators of freedom have become enablers of
the regime and engage in censorship.
What
about the two-party system?
The
public elected Clinton because they were tired of Bush, they elected another
Bush because they were tired of Clinton. They elected Obama because they were
tired of another Bush.
The
people thought they were switching between Republicans and Democrats. But
policy-wise there wasn’t much change.
They
are all for expensive optional foreign wars. They are all for open borders.
They are all for big government. They all despise dissent and have
disdain for citizens.
This
was a very convenient arrangement in D.C. until Donald Trump joined politics
and exposed the rot in their system.
During his inaugural address in January 2017, President Trump talked about giving power back to the people. He reminded D.C. that it had forgotten its fundamental duties.
George W. Bush was in the audience at that time allegedly remarked 'That
was some weird s###". This is all you need to know about the system.
Tucker is part of the new ecosystem created by
Trump.
This
has driven the old guard to such insanity that they no longer care to conceal
who they are.
If facts were on their side, Schumer and the rest would have delivered presentations on the floor to meticulously debunk Carlson’s claims.
But
that is not the case, hence they are demanding that an adversarial voice be
shut down.
The
word outrageous isn’t enough to describe this situation.
The
public is being shielded from facts by the powerful while the agencies and media
side is siding with the powerful instead of challenging them.
If this isn’t a national emergency what is
