New Videos Emerge Appearing To Show Capitol Police Inciting Violence On January 6

The Capitol Police allegedly incited some of the violent events on January 6.

New videos emerging online appear to show Capitol Police inciting violence on January 6 by shooting flashbangs into what was then a peaceful crowd. The video shows them tear gassing protestors and beating up Trump supporters. The seemingly provocative actions by law enforcement, in those moments, appear to have set off the crowd, who in turn shouted expletives and grew more aggressive in reaction to the flashbangs, tear gas, and beatings.

New videos emerging online are appearing to show the Capitol Police incite violence on January 6 by lobbying flash grenades, administering tear gas, and brutally beating protestors. The violence appears to have caused the protestors to react with aggression and anger. This, combined with what appears to be undercover federal actors, posing as Trump supporters, instigating and participating in violence, could possibly explain why the protest crowd became increasingly violent as the day went on.

National File recently confirmed the presence of undercover federal law enforcement embedded within the January 6 protest crowd. The report raises questions concerning the full extent of federal involvement in the violence that took place that day.

In an exclusive interview with Congressman Paul Gosar (R-AZ), the Arizona representative pointed to the kidnapping conspiracy case of Michigan Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer as “proof in the pudding” that undercover federal actors likely infiltrated the pro-Trump crowd on January 6 to sabotage the peaceful protest. In the Michigan case, which has widely been compared to January 6, it was revealed that the FBI had employed at least 12 undercover informants to infiltrate militia groups involved in the alleged kidnapping conspiracy, fueling concerns among observers that the “plot” may have been the result of entrapment by the federal government.

“We have seen that the FBI has a history of animating criminal conduct. That is precisely what happened in Michigan, and it may be what happened on January 6th as well,” Matt Gaetz reportedly declared following the Congressional visit to the DC Detention Facility where January 6 prisoners are being held and reportedly facing tortuous conditions compared to those seen in Guantanamo Bay, which ultimately resulted in Representatives Gosar, Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Louie Gohmert being locked out of the facility.

“Today, four members of Congress, and staff, were threatened with arrest as we tried to engage in public oversight. The prison officials were angry, rude, obnoxious, unprofessional, and abusive. They did nothing to dispel the allegations of abuse in the prison. They did everything to confirm it,” Congressman Gosar told National File.

Trans Weightlifter Laurel Hubbard Crashes out of Competition

New Zealand transexual weightlifter Laurel Hubbard failed to record a single successful lift in the women’s +87kg weightlifting at the Tokyo Olympics on Monday morning, crashing out of the competition in the process.

A failed attempt to lift 120kg and two failed efforts at 125kg in the snatch meant Hubbard had his Olympics ended early.

Hubbard came closest on the second attempt, getting the bar above his head and appearing to get credit for the 125 kg snatch. But the jury ruled it was not to be.

That left him with another attempt at 125 kg, but she struggled to stand and dropped the bar behind her. Hubbard waved to the crowd, making a heart with his hands (see below).

Hubbard went on to thank fans in New Zealand, the Japanese people and a number of sports organizations including the Federation of International Gymnastics and the New Zealand Olympic Committee.

The 43-year-old said he had come to terms with the result, the BBC reports.

“I’m not entirely unaware of the controversy which surrounds my participation at these Games,” said Hubbard after his exit.

“And as such, I would particularly like to thank the IOC, for I think really affirming its commitment to the principles of Olympism and establishing that sport is something for all people, that it is inclusive and is accessible.”

In the days before Hubbard’s controversial appearance at the event, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) reaffirmed its full support of transgender athletes when medical director Richard Budgett declared “transwomen are women” and should be included in women’s sport “when we possibly can.”

“After 100 years of promoting women’s sport, it’s up to each of the international federations to ensure that they try and protect women’s sport,” he told a briefing in Tokyo. “Science will help, experience will help, and time will help.”

Despite the IOC’s repeated insistence that anyone who identifies as a woman can compete with women, eight U.S. states have recently enacted laws banning biological males from competing in girls’ and women’s sports, as Breitbart News reported.

Max Lucado Tests COVID-Positive Despite Being Fully Vaccinated

Pastor Max Lucado revealed that he contracted COVID last weekend.

The minister shared that he was planning to preach that day and travel abroad the next day when he discovered that he tested positive for coronavirus, The Christian Post reported.

“Groan. Covid found me. Tested positive yesterday. Was planning to preach today at Oak Hills Church and go with some guys on epic golf trip to Ireland tomorrow. Turns out it’s me in a downstairs room with aches, stuffy head and quarantine,” he posted on Facebook.

Moreover, the pastor stated that he was actually vaccinated.

“… Though miserable, the misery would have been worse with no vaccination. So doing my best to count blessings.”

The renowned pastor indicated that despite his predicament, there are reasons for him to be thankful, including his “amazing wife,” “good docs,” staying at “home instead of a hotel,” and a dog that “likes me.”

He also wanted to make good use of his time and is asking for people to throw him some prayer requests so he can pray as “Our good Father can’t catch Covid,” and so, “I’ll hang out with him.”

Readers are urged to pray for pastor Max Lucado’s healing and recovery.

Are the vaccines really effective?

The Times of Israel said that according to Hebrew University’s latest study, the effectiveness of Pfizer vaccine in preventing serious illness has dropped to 80%, a 10% decrease before the emergence of the Delta variant, but is 90% effective in preventing deaths.

However, the data released by Israel’s Health Ministry showed that the Pfizer shot is now only 39% effective in fighting against the coronavirus infection and 41% resistant from having symptomatic COVID.

The findings also showed that the immunity from the virus fades months after the vaccination, wherein people vaccinated in January only have 16% protection from COVID while those who took the shot in April have 75% immunity.

But the researchers noted that aside from time, the other factor, which is the early vaccination of the elderly and people with health conditions, should also be considered in the figures.

The Leumit Health Fund also published a report that supported the findings of the vaccine’s waning effectiveness.

Dr. Yotam Shenhar, head of Special Tests Department at Leumit, uncovered that the level of antibodies resulting from the vaccine decreases by 40% monthly, thus explains the vaccination’s effect over time.

Further, the organization’s study disclosed that the individuals, regardless of age, who got vaccinated early were 1.95 times more likely to be infected. Age is a factor on the rate of infection, wherein early vaccinators ages 60 and up are twice likely to catch the virus while aged 40 to 59 are 2.1 times more likely to get infected. In addition, those under 39 years old are only 1.6 times more likely to test positive.

“We looked at tens of thousands of people tested in the month of June, alongside data on how long had passed since their second shot, and found that those vaccinated early were more likely to test positive,” Shenhar told the media outlet.

He suggested that people over 70s should be given the third dose.

“Now we see vaccination effectiveness drops, so it seems we definitely need to think about a third vaccine. We have started already by giving the immunocompromised, but in my assessment we need to consider giving third shots to everyone over 70 or 80. We shouldn’t wait long; we need to make a decision fast,” the department head said.

The safety of vaccines is also currently being questioned following a revelation that thousands have died after getting the shot but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reportedly tried to cover it up by deleting a huge number of fatalities.

More West Texas Border Patrol Agents Test Positive for COVID-19

Three more Border Patrol Agents working at the Eagle Pass, Texas, processing center tested positive for COVID-19 over the weekend, according to a source working under the umbrella of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The agents were assigned to process migrants apprehended in the Del Rio Sector in a soft-sided structure that is currently holding double its rated capacity.

The total number of Border Patrol agents, according to the source, reached six since Thursday. In addition, at least one Texas Army National Guard soldier working in Eagle Pass also tested positive for the virus. The source, speaking on the condition of anonymity, says the facility is rated at 300 migrants due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The facility is currently holding more than 1,000 migrants.

Three northern border agents detailed to Eagle Pass to assist with the current migrant surge tested positive after spending less than one week at the processing center, Breitbart Texas reported on Thursday. The source now reports the total stands at six and is expected to continue to rise.

“This is a nightmare. We have no more room for anyone else in the facility,” the source told Breitbart. “We cannot process them fast enough and when we are done, we have no place to take them except to put them out on the street.”

Several of the Border Patrol Agents who tested positive for the virus had been fully vaccinated, the source reported. It is unknown if the agents were exposed to the Delta variant of the virus. According to the Border Patrol in Del Rio, nearly 1,000 migrants are being apprehended daily in the West Texas region covered by the sector.

The source says migrants are being let go in downtown Eagle Pass since a local non-governmental shelter refused to take in any more migrants. The Mission Border Hope shelter is concerned that they will not be able to arrange transportation for the migrants into the interior of the United States after a recent executive order issued by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

At least 70 Border Patrol agents in the Rio Grande Valley Sector also tested positive for COVID-19 since October, according to reports last week. A large percentage of those infections occurred in the past few weeks as increasing numbers of migrants are testing positive.

Gun Sales Surge Thanks to First-Time Buyers

Gun sales are spiking around the U.S., driven by rising crime, political shifts in Washington, and Gunss

al unrest.

QUICK FACTS:
  • Connecticut State Police data show 169,113 gun sale authorizations in 2020, according to American Military News (AMN).
  • The number of authorizations is up from 126,458 in 2019, representing a more than 33% increase.
  • Connecticut has received 94,534 authorizations this year.
  • First-time gun buyers making up a large part of the surge, the state issued 31,170 new gun permits from Jan 1 through early July—more than double the number of permits processed in all of 2019, notes AMN.
  • Across the United States, a survey of firearms retailers conducted by the National Shooting Sports Foundation “found that 40% of customers from January through April of 2020 were first-time gun buyers.”
  • 40% of those new buyers were female.
WHAT GUN ADVOCATES ARE SAYING:
  • Owner of Central Connecticut Arms in Portland—one of the states’ largest gun shops—Rob Pizzi Jr. said, “People are jumping at the opportunity to buy more guns.”
  • “People are starting to realize they’re their own first responders,’ Pizzi said. “With all the anti-police sentiment that’s going around right now, we’re selling a lot of concealed-carry handguns. We sell a lot of home defense handguns and shotguns.”
  • Pizzi also believes that Democrat Joe Biden’s pledge to address rising gun violence prompted some purchases. “They’re worried about the political climate and what may or may not be available for them to purchase and what’s going to be illegal,” he said.
  • Holly Sullivan—president of the Connecticut Citizens Defense League, a nonprofit group that advocates on behalf of gun owners—said, “The fastest growing demographic of new gun owners are women.” “By and large, the biggest growth is among women, and that’s consistent nationally and here in the state.”
  • “Americans across the board, whether they’re first-time gun owners or longtime gun owners, feel more of a need to defend themselves and their families than they have in the past,” Sullivan said. “That is the cultural climate, the political climate and the reality that we’re in.”
WHAT FIRST-TIME GUN BUYERS ARE SAYING:
  • Jenny—a 44-year-old stay-at-home mom who bought her first gun last year— is a victim of domestic abuse who said she was motivated by personal safety concerns.
  • “I had run into my ex-husband while I was jogging and after that, I made the decision that I needed to carry,” she said.
  • “It was such an unpredictable time, and people were under a lot of stress,” she said. “I realized I was responsible for my own self-defense.”
  • “I just love going shooting,” she said. “I have the confidence that I can hit my target.”
BACKGROUND:
  • The Covid-19 phenomenon and record sales of firearms have “fueled a shortage of ammunition in the United States that’s impacting law enforcement agencies, people seeking personal protection, recreational shooters and hunters,” according to The Associated Press.
  • The White House has been working in recent weeks to distance Biden from the “defund the police” movement, notes NBC News.
  • Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland have announced tougher enforcement policies for federal gun control laws, Biden focusing on so-called “assault weapons” and high capacity magazines, according to The National Interest, plausibly contributing to Americans stocking up on firearms.

Minnesotans Take Legal Action Over Critical Race Theory

A law firm has taken legal action on behalf of Minnesotans opposed to critical race theory (CRT) who argue that they’ve become victims of bullying and retaliation for speaking out against what they say is a divisive and discriminatory philosophy.

The Minnesota-based Upper Midwest Law Center (UMLC) announced on July 30 that it had filed complaints and lawsuits on behalf of clients who “seek an end to the ‘official’ propagandizing of CRT and the bullying and retaliation which accompany it.”

CRT, a quasi-Marxist ideology that interprets society through the lens of a racial struggle, sees inherent racism in the foundations of Western societies, which it seeks to fundamentally transform to end this claimed racial oppression. An effort to incorporate CRT in U.S. schools has been pushed by progressive politicians, activists, and major teachers’ unions, drawing backlash from parents and conservatives.

“Our clients are bravely confronting CRT-inspired bullying, indoctrination, and retaliation, which isn’t ‘training’ or persuasion,” Doug Seaton, president of UMLC, said in a statement.

“They have been insulted, lied about, threatened, demoted, and fired, simply for refusing to submit to this ideology. But the U.S. Constitution, the federal Civil Rights laws, and their Minnesota counterparts don’t permit this race-based discrimination, retaliation, compelled speech, and invasion of privacy.”

Acting on behalf of its clients, UMLC has announced a series of parallel Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charges and state and federal lawsuits.

One UMLC client, Dr. Tara Gustilo, a Filipino American doctor who was chairwoman of obstetrics and gynecology at Hennepin Healthcare System (HHS), was “demoted essentially because of her polite opposition to the Critical Race Theory that’s saturating her organization,” Seaton said in a statement.

“I see a racist and divisive ideology of race essentialism taking over our nation and my institution,” Gustilo said. “Further, there seems to be this growing intolerance for people with different opinions or ideas and it seems that this tribalistic ideology is fostering that kind of intolerance.”

In her EEOC complaint, Gustilo alleged that HHS “engaged in discriminatory and retaliatory behavior by demoting me on the basis of race due to my refusal, as a person of color, to subscribe to Critical Race Theory and the views of the Black Lives Matter movement and even admitting that such refusal served as the ‘trigger’ for my demotion.”

HHS didn’t respond to a request for comment by press time.

Other UMLC clients made similar allegations, with a Native American man claiming that his employer forced him to retire early due to his opposition to CRT and the parents of a Lakeville area student alleging viewpoint discrimination at their daughter’s school for refusing to allow “All Lives Matter” signs to be displayed while letting “Black Lives Matter” posters to be put up.
