The pictures near the end are of a group of people that ran up the steps of the Capitol and were met by a line of Capitol police. I happened to be standing nearby when I heard an officer say, "Here they come!" and then saw other officers move into position. The group was only a couple of dozen people, with most wearing black with bandanas covering their face. Apparently, according to a news report, the group was much larger at some point and there were minor skirmishes. What I saw was only this smaller group, and there was no physical confrontation. I thought the police were admirable in their lack of reaction to the group.

At the risk of generalizing and sounding uninformed, I found the group to be quite silly. I don't know who they are (and don't really care), but most seemed quite young. It seemed like they were playing dress-up ("Hey, why don't we cover our faces in black bandanas and ski masks and pretend we're badass anarchists!"). If you're going to go the trouble of concealing your identity because you're an outlaw, why don't you break some laws and do some jailtime? Instead, they just got in the faces of the police and yelled at them when they knew the police can't react. In some countries rebels conceal their faces because they know it could cost them their life if they don't. These guys don't have that worry, but they probably like to pretend that they do.

These guys are Cheney's favorite protesters.

1. The Wash post reported there were 300 of them storming the capitol

and "thousands" at the protest.

Guess they have some trouble with math? LOL

3. That's where I read it also. It might have happened earlier, but what

I saw was only around a couple of dozen. There were other people like myself that were there watching but weren't part of the group that came running up the steps like they were going to fight the police to get past them.

Thanks for sharing. :patriot: What's the story with the threesome holding the long red cloth? They are very compelling.

9. Here's a link explaining the group:

They gave out a small card showing a 1-inch square piece of the red cloth equals 12 casualties.

12. gotta watch out for "False Flag" protesters........

RW'ers infiltrating the protest to cause trouble. That world bank incident stinks of a "false flag" op.

13. Right idea, wrong numbers

When you have 500,000 people (according to the UFPJ organizers) marching and surrounding the Capitol, and only a relative handful of police, there is nothing stopping that mass of hundreds of thousands from occupying the "People's House" and staying there until the troop transports start flying. This war could have been over yesterday.

16. Hi Milky Way, thanks for the post. The anarchists were probably paid actors for the Administration

Much the same strategy they have created in places like Iraq.

To keep people divided and in constant fear and doubt, one of the most important elements of their agenda is to continue manufacturing staged chaos with paid operatives/players where ever they can. They create chaos wherever they can because that keeps them in power.
