This week, because now we have evidence of a number of highly damning facts about the Putsch of January 6 we lift the Fifth Amendment. WaPo published a time line:

and Bill Moyers:

All the following entities have been infiltrated with #45 cronies and supporters, and will need to be de-Nazified

PRINCIPAL ACTORS IN ORDER OF SIGNIFICANCE ARE:
DEPARTMENT OF “DEFENSE”
DOD refused to act for several hours,

https://popularresistance.org/details-emerge-of-high-level-state-involvement-in-january-6-events/
Gen. Walter E. Piatt, director of the army staff disliked what he called the “visual optics” of having the Guard stand in a line with the Capitol bldg. in the background.

Despite DC Mayor Muriel Bowser requesting National Guard from Virginia and Maryland, because of deliberate delays, some of the Guard did not appear until dark, and some only the next day.
POLICE:
Despite the FBI warning that extremists planned an assault on Congress,
1800 out of 2300 Capitol Police were told not to come to work Jan. 6
and
Police stand aside enabling the mob:

Steven Sund, the ex-head of the Capitol police was reluctant to call the national guard.
One PsyOps officer from Ft. Bragg led a 100-strong contingent from N. Carolina.
Several on-duty Capitol police officers have been suspended for supporting the mob. Two off-duty Virginia officers were arrested. A Houston officer caught in the building has resigned; police departments of New York City, Pennsylvania, Chicago, Seattle, Philadelphia and others are investigating whether they were also represented! More than 30 members of various police forces were present at the Capitol, not including this killer of two, Oakland officer Snyder.

WHITE SUPREMACISTS
Include cops, many of whom patrol in municipal departments throughout the Disunited States, and who either overtly espouse pro-Nazi views, or are sympathetic to them in departments which come down especially violently on peaceful demonstrators, and BLM demonstrations.
and a black cop perspective:
LAWMAKERS
Include newly elected West Virginia House of Delegates Derrick Evens.
Indivisible lists 147 of the U.S. Congress, 7 from California, who after witnessing the putsch mob, still voted to overturn legitimate election results. Hawley figures prominently.
Some members of the U.S. legislature refuse to go through metal detectors on their way to work (just try that you corporate types!); some members by insisting on remaining unmasked are practicing biological warfare against other members who do wear masks, one of them Pressley, having been confined in tight enclosed shelter with unmasked lawmakers and whose husband now tests positive for COVID. In all, 4 lawmakers have now tested positive because of GOP anti-maskers.

THE MOB
No generalizations hold up:
https://popularresistance.org/the-rioters-werent-all-blue-collar-maga/
The mob included lawyers, businesspeople, at least one CEO, parents, as well as Boogaloo Boys, One Percenters, etc. The mob arrived in hundreds of busses paid for by other CEOs and stayed at top-of-the line luxury Willard Hotel catty corner to the White House.
https://popularresistance.org/the-rioters-werent-all-blue-collar-maga/
Greg Palast alleges mob applied for a permit which did not include a march.
Anti-lockdown protesters and anti-maskers, some members of which participated in the events of Jan 6, include some 3 million Facebook Stop the Stealers from Oregon to Florida, including Boogaloo Boys and others.
Still waiting for toilet training, some members of the mob befouled the Capitol Bldg. in some areas.

Now please imagine if such journalists as Bill Moyers, Michael Moore and others, had witnessed a dress rehearsal prior to another coup, one previous to the Jan. 6 coup, namely the coup that went almost entirely unmentioned and unnamed for what it was by the entire U.S. public: the 9-11 “terrorist” attack. Can you imagine them point by point listing the timeline? Vacating of the premises by a Mossad front two weeks before. The dancing watchers across the Hudson whose front was a moving van; the one building that succumbed to two plane attacks in absentia, namely building 7 that imploded entirely without help, building ownership, the placement of the N.Y.C. command center, and certain files in a Pentagon file room; and the woman who is heard saying: “there were no windows on that plane”; pilots pointing out that those maneuvers conducted by a human pilot are impossible, raising the possibility of armed drones controlled from another location (a technology that was then already available); the at-that-time non-existent technology of listening in to air to ground phone calls at high altitudes, voice simulation technology already available at that time; and the sound of multiple explosions heard by N.Y.C. firefighters, the melting temperature of steel, the lignite found at the disaster site; the numbers of WTC people who failed to show up for work that day, and the fact that around 9 AM, the mostly working class people of color working in the top floor restaurant had to be sacrificed.
To cite only a few.
