Jan 6, 2021
We’re seeing the rise of state-sponsored vigilantism again, with some in law enforcement not taking seriously the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol or efforts directed against women and their supporters in Texas.
A hundred years ago, 250,000 vigilantes terrorized German Americans, minorities and union organizers to further the goals of the elite in the name of national security. Seventy-five years ago, we terrorized Japanese Americans. Today, vigilantes are terrorizing political opponents and women in the name of political and religious ideology. When will America learn that vigilantism is un-American in any form? -Joan Korb

Trumpism - Jan 6, 2021 - #NEVERFORGET

| America’s republic proved it could survive the kill shot that was attempted last year. But small, well-organized extremes on both sides will do their best to take away your freedom and replace it with their own viewpoint whenever they can. It’s not just up to the Capitol Police, Congress, the courts or even colonels and captains to protect this country’s liberty, enshrined in our Constitution. It’s primarily your job as well to resist these undemocratic impulses. Each of those other free societies fell because too many left it up to someone else to do that job. John A. Tures; professor of political science at LaGrange College |
| We cannot allow our religious institutions to continue to be fertile breeding grounds for far-right ideologies. To defeat the naked white supremacy and Christian nationalism spewed in right-wing pulpits and embraced by increasing numbers of people, we need faith leaders to step up and work rigorously to reverse the damage of this warped ideology. If we don’t, January 6th will only be the beginning. --Serene Jones; Religious Dispatches |

Jan 6, 2022: Anglican Ink: Presiding Bishop marks the Epiphany with a speech on the January 6 capital riot
The nightmare of last January 6th was not just an event. It was a revelation. It was a revelation of deeply dangerous divisions in our nation—some political, some ideological, some racial, and some disguised as religious. |
Jan 6, 2022: United Church of Christ: Blackmon: Let us mark Epiphany, learning from Jan. 6 and the tragedies of our past
How ironic it is that on this same date, Jan. 6, 2021, our democracy was once again challenged by some who profess Christianity and yet fear what the celebration of Epiphany represents: the coming together of diverse cultures and faiths across imposed geographical boundaries. On the grounds of our Capitol some citizens stormed the seat of our government, waving American and confederate flags and “christian” banners conflating God and government, in a futile attempt to thwart the peaceful transition of power for which our democracy is known.

Jan 6, 2022: Kentucky Today: Why we cannot look away from the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol
Unlike so much else in our current political environment that is fabricated, the attack of Jan. 6, 2021, was real. In the rush to define that riotous afternoon in political terms, which makes it easier to push away, we often miss the real agony of it all. There was an actual human toll from the events of that day — multiple lives lost and a heavy trauma inflicted upon those in the building — that cannot be waived away or dismissed. Instead, Christians should engage this moment for several reasons. |
| A badly-outnumbered police officer asked them to leave the Senate Chamber because “this is like the sacrediest place.” The insurrectionists ignored his plea and instead lined up behind the podium. “Jesus Christ, we invoke your name! Amen!” one of them shouted with a hand raised upward. Others also shouted “amen” as Chansley, suddenly inspired, added, “Let’s all say a prayer in this sacred space.” So, he set down the American flag he’d been carrying and picked up a bullhorn to pray. He started, paused for everyone to take off their Trump hats (or furry horns), and then started again. “Thank you, Heavenly Father, for this opportunity to stand up for God-given unalienable rights,” he offered. “Thank you, Heavenly Father, for being the inspiration needed to these police officers to allow us into the building, to allow us to exercise our rights, to allow us to send a message to all the tyrants, the communists and the globalists that this is our nation, not theirs.” (Rom. 12:9). .” ~ Brian Kaylor and Beau Underwood; A Public Witness |
| Shannon Rivers, member of the Native American Akimel O’otham, said the history of Christian nationalism began when the European settlers answered the Native Americans’ welcome with a belief that divine providence had ordained their domination of Indigenous land. Rivers said that to confront Christian nationalism honestly, churches and other houses of worship need to focus on a papal bull issued by Pope Alexander VI in 1493 known as the Doctrine of Discovery. Though it gave theological justification for colonization as the Americas were occupied by European powers, Alexander’s bull threaded its way into United States law, providing the basis for a key 1823 Supreme Court decision awarding the American West to the U.S. Jan 6, 2022: Religion News Service: Since Jan. 6 attacks, spiritual leaders unify to combat Christian nationalism |

Jan 6, 2022: National Catholic Reporter: Right-wing Catholic causes got millions from group that funded some Capitol rioters
An organization that provided hefty sums of money to nonprofits that spread misinformation about the 2020 presidential election and organized the Jan. 6, 2021, attack at the U.S. Capitol building has also funneled millions of dollars in anonymous donations to right-wing Catholic nonprofits and official Catholic groups.

The day after the January 6th attack on the Capitol—some six weeks before his death—Rush Limbaugh logged on for his first show of 2021. He managed to find a way to throw some blame at the Democrats for the previous day’s violence: “So you can set fire to a downtown strip of any blue-state city—Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, New York—and it’s called a peaceful protest. But you dare not set foot where the political class lives and works and does its job.”

Jan 5, 2022: Religion News Service: Violence isn’t the only way Christian nationalism endangers democracy
One year ago at the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, the world witnessed one way in which Christian nationalism imperils American democracy. We’ve all seen photos and footage of the mob violence perpetrated by Americans waving Christian flags, clad in Christian clothing, saying Christian prayers. As some increasingly isolated and radicalized religious conservatives react to their loss of power, the threat of their political violence is real. But it is not the only way Christian nationalism jeopardizes our democracy. |

Jan 5, 2022:The Cobb County Republican Party in Georgia has canceled a candlelight prayer vigil for suspects in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack — an event that was dubbed an "homage to treason" by Georgia state Rep. Teri Anulewicz (D).
The vigil was part of a larger program called "The Patriots Are Awake, Willing and Eager to Protect Their American Freedoms and Liberties" that had been scheduled for Thursday to mark the one-year anniversary of the Capitol riot. Cobb GOP Chair Salleigh Grubbs said in a statement the event's intent was "to acknowledge Americans who lost their lives and pray for those who have been denied justice," and the county GOP did not condone "any form of violence nor the glorification of what happened at the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021."

January 2021 brought the inauguration of a new president, with a hope of less divisive and vindictive ways than the past administration.

A Capitol rioter who also happens to be a former Republican candidate for the New York state legislature — and who received over 16,000 votes when running for the seat in question -- has been caught and charged for their involvement in January’s violence. The rioter in question is Gregory Purdy, and besides a slew of misdemeanor offenses, he also faces charges including civil disorder, obstruction of an official proceeding, and assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers — all of which would appear to be felonies. Purdy has been charged alongside his brother, Matthew Purdy, and a third individual, Robert Turner, who traveled with Gregory at one point.

He is still trying very hard right to the last minute to get a judge to block records from getting to the Jan 6 committee. Clearly he has something to hide. But we already knew that. Just curious how damning it is. On a related note, prosecutors recommended their harshest Jan. 6 sentence yet — 51 months — for JACOB CHANSLEY, the ‘Q Shaman’ who became a symbol of the insurrection.

He is still trying very hard right to the last minute to get a judge to block records from getting to the Jan 6 committee. Clearly he has something to hide. But we already knew that. Just curious how damning it is. On a related note, prosecutors recommended their harshest Jan. 6 sentence yet — 51 months — for JACOB CHANSLEY, the ‘Q Shaman’ who became a symbol of the insurrection.

Texas lawmakers Louie Gohmert, Randy Weber, Van Taylor & Dan Crenshaw have all been fined this year for dodging Capitol metal detectors that were put up after the Jan 6 riot.
All four of these congressmen knew the rioters weren't coming for them, anyway, because the rioters were only going to confront the people who respected laws and the Democratic process....and hang Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi.......attack and kill policemen........wave Confederate and Trump 2020 flags... ......you know, like how Rep. Andrew Clyde and Paul Gosar do whenever they go on a normal tourist visit to the Capitol.
I can count on zero fingers the number of times I went to the US Capitol as a tourist and decided to hang a vice president....

The plea deal for "The Conspiracy Nut Formally Known As QAnon Shaman" was not for info. It was for a lesser crime. I dont understand why they are letting these seditionists walk for lesser offenses. I am not advocating a firing squad, but there was a time when any and all seditionists were sentenced to die by firing squad. Point being, that it was considered a very serious crime.

July 8, 2021: Southern Poverty Law Center: Tweeting Hate: SPLC analysis shows that Twitter has failed to address its use by far-right extremists and was a major tool in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection
Six months after the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, Twitter continues to be a major tool for far-right extremists, facilitating and boosting their efforts, and – if left unchecked – will likely enable politically motivated violence again, according to a report released this week by the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project.

Jan 19, 2021: Religion Dispatches: WHERE WERE THEY RADICALIZED? NO ANSWER IS COMPLETE WITHOUT ADDRESSING EVANGELICAL CHURCHES AND SCHOOLING
As the United States prepares for the end of a nightmarish one-term presidency that seemed to drag on forever, Americans continue to unpack the January 6 insurrection that now even soon-to-be Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell admits was “provoked” by President Donald Trump. On January 16, NBC political analyst Mehdi Hasan tweeted, “#whereweretheyradicalized is a question we’re going to be asking of GOP lawmakers at federal and state/local levels for many, many years to come, sadly,” adding that the answer would lie primarily in “a combo of Fox/OANN/Newsmax and Facebook.”

Jan 17, 2021:
The 14th Amendment is clear. No American engaged in insurrection or rebellion are allowed to hold office. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley hold the most blame for the insurrection as a result of their dangerous rhetoric and conspiracies. 14th Amendment; Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Rep Matt Gaetz, Rep Paul Gosar, Sarah Palin, Fox News host Pete Hegseth & Laura Ingraham all blamed anitifa for the insurrection. Gaetz used an article from the Washington Times as his source, but the Times took down the article after realizing .they were wrong. More than 60 of them have been arrested (so far) and NONE of them were part of antifa and, in fact, most have a long social media trail showing them planning and clearly as Trump supporters. I have yet to see any Trumplican actually admit those were Trump supporters in DC. They are claiming a "CONSPIRACY" (of course). They seem to just replace one delusion with another delusion. Trumplicans are made of just layer after layer of delusion. 2 cabinet members, several staff, including Betsy Devos have all resigned. Soon it'll just be Trump and all the voices in his head.................... Trump threw his loyal revolutionaries under the bus and then denied he had anything to do with it......................So, I wonder why God lied to so many of these Trumpvangelicals?? I have heard many of them claiming that God told them that Trump was going to be re-elected...or they had a dream or vision from God that told them. Very sad delusion.........Attorney for Trump campaign in PA lawsuit files motion to withdraw: "the client has used the lawyer's services to perpetrate a crime. and the client insists upon taking action that the lawyer considers repugnant".................the Confederate battle flag reached the United States Capitol building, something that did not happen during the Civil War..................The twenty-fifth amendment could be used to take Donald Trump out for the rest of his term. |
I just read an article that said a diet high in fat will impede your memory.
I forget where I saw it though.

Paula White at Rally in DC on Jan 6, 2021
Paula White prayer in DC on Jan 6, 2021:
… God, you said you honor your word and your name above all things. So as we hold you, in covenant with you, today, let justice be done. Let justice be done. Let justice be done. Let we the people have the assurance of a fair and a just election. Hear our cry and turn our hearts to you. God, I pray that you would turn the hearts of those who are in power and position to make decisions, to walk in your wisdom, and to do justly today — for the integrity of democracy. For our nation.
God, we ask right now, in conclusion, for your provision. For your protection. For your power. For an outpouring of your spirit like never before. I secure POTUS — I thank you for President Trump. I thank you that he has stood with Israel. He has stood with life. He has stood for righteousness. He has stood for the most vulnerable. He has stood to alleviate poverty. He has stood for religious freedom. He has stood for safety and protection. He has stood in a place, God, that few men could stand. He has walked in your ways. And as you have allowed me to have a relationship with him and his family for 20 years, right now, as his pastor I put a hedge of protection around him. I secure his purpose. I secure his destiny. I secure his life, God, and I thank you that he will walk in a holy boldness and a wisdom, God, and that you will go before him. You will be his rear guard, and you will go in front of him this day and every day, God. …
