Today, the New York Times wrote an article attempting to place the blame for today's events on social media websites like Gab:
“On social media sites requested by the far-right, such as Gab…. directions on which streets to take to avoid the police and which tools to bring to help pry open doors were exchanged in comments.”
First: it appears that the Capitol Police allowed protestors into the Capitol complex. We do not control the Capitol Police.
Second: we work with law enforcement, state, federal, and international, to promote public safety. We proactively report when our moderation team discovers content which we believe poses an imminent threat to life and respond rapidly when law enforcement identifies any such threat. We do not comment on our communications with law enforcement in emergency situations, even when it is inconvenient to do so from a public relations perspective.
Third: we do not preemptively scan user content for criminal speech. Before the Capitol was occupied by protestors we had no idea what would come from today’s protests in D.C.
Third: as a result of app store bans, we do not have a mobile app. The majority of our users use Gab on desktop devices, which obviously are not easy to bring and use at a protest. The overwhelming majority of people using Gab today were observing the protest from home and reporting what they saw online.
Fifth: the people in attendance at today’s event in D.C. are on Twitter and Facebook, too, and in far larger numbers than Gab.
To be perfectly honest, organizations like the New York Times are the problem here. Over the course of 2020, political violence across the United States has been normalized by Democratic Party politicians and the mainstream media who excused away and refused to enforce the law against “peaceful protestors” – in reality violent agitators and domestic terrorists – who embarked upon various outrages including the occupation of several square blocks of Seattle, the setting fire to small businesses and federal buildings across the U.S., and yes, even forcing D.C. to board up on more than one occasion.
How quickly they forget the last night of the Republican National Convention when Rand Paul and other Republicans were assaulted by violent Antifa mobs after the Republican National Convention. The New York Times fired its opinions editor for publishing a piece by Tom Cotton to restore order with the same military our politicians are tonight deploying in our nation’s capital.
Two wrongs do not make a right. What happened today should be condemned. The protestors in D.C. today should have adhered to lawful orders given to them by the Capitol Police and not entered the U.S. Capitol building. They should not have fought the Capitol Policemen who were carrying out their duty to protect Congress as it carried out its constitutionally authorized role under Article 1.
But for the New York Times to pretend that Gab is the problem – noting that Gab officially has no political positions apart from respecting the First Amendment and being unashamedly pro-law and order- is to deny reality, which is that for many in the political establishment, their policy is to excuse away low-level political violence that serves their interests and only get outraged when it doesn’t.
Violence is always wrong. Our politicians and organizations like the New York Times have excused violence against American businesses and citizens, which we never have. No matter who is responsible or what cause they promote.
What happened today is not as unprecedented as the political class would have us believe. This is not the first mob that has attacked a government building in the United States this year – courthouses and police stations all over the United States have been attacked by anti-police activists year-round. Only six months ago, Nancy Pelosi decried law enforcement’s work to stop a dangerous mob from burning down a federal building in Portland as “political games” and “abuses of power.”
After today we hope our fellow citizens will say “enough” about the political bullshit from both sides. Do your jobs. If you had enacted policies at any point in the last 50 years that would have kept America safe this year from crime, voter fraud, illegal immigration, and domestic terrorists like Antifa – which government is currently failing to do – the American people would have a lot less to be angry about.
Gab provides an important safety valve by allowing people to exercise their constitutional rights. No more, no less. As and when we hear from law enforcement in this matter we will respond fully and expeditiously as is our policy. We will also keep those communications confidential, as is our policy.
Gab isn’t creating state failure in the United States. Our pathetic politicians are, enabled by their corporate media allies such as the New York Times.
God bless you and God bless America.
MANY people migh be uset for this that Rand Paul was a traitor. WELL, WE WERE RIGHT AND TODAY PROVED IT. He's a ****ING CAIN. Ron Paul should EXILE THAT BASTARD.
We were wrong about RUSH, he DID say what we would say. KUDOS!!!
And he's not wrong, This time the corruption needs to be overthrown with violence SO BADLY our genetic code depends on it. Consider the consequences of allowing this kind of corruption to proceed. We can't. We simply can't.
2. VP Chief of Staff Marc Short was likely the one who shot Ashley in the capitol
3. Trump surrendered.
PROBABLY NOT RUMOR: VP CHIEF OF STAFF SHOT ASHLEY, NOT THE CAPITOL POLICE
THIS RAID WAS DONE BY NANCY'S SON IN LAW. Even Nancy kept her secrets in this coup, which is why the capitol police were with the rioters, escorting them through the capitol building even on this video that shows the most intense moment.
Rumor: Rush going live for a final show
LET ME GUESS: Rush Limbaugh will go on the air today and tell everyone to accept the steal, not be violent and that they can vote their way out of this mess. I bet I am right. I never could understand why Rush destroyed Ross Perot. If he does what I think he will do today, we'll know why. Let's hope Rush does not destroy his legacy today. I sure hope he will not, but with ALL traitors coming out of the woodwork now, today we will know. "Traitor" is not a word I want to put on Rush until he proves it.COUP COMPLETE. Trump surrendered.
"Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it's only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!He did not say he conceded. However, that looks like the end.
If he could not "Make America Great Again" from the inside due to the extent to which every institution was corrupted, how will he ever do it from the outside? Forget about ever getting a real president again, if anyone who is not establishment talks about being president and gets even a small amount of attention, there will be a remote chauffeuring at 120 mph off a cliff and they'll use their killing to push an agenda on top of it.
Meet Michiel Vos
Nancy's son in law led the raid on the capitol. She obviously did not tell Pence what was going on!
THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO INITIATE THE OUSTING OF TRUMP TONIGHT.
The House judiciary committee is attempting to invoke the 25th and have Trump ousted IMMEDIATELY. They have made a formal, detailed appeal to Pence.Pelosi controls the DC police who allowed Antifa in.
They had Antifa stage an attack so they could shut down the proceedings, and now they are going to attempt to eject Trump. They were obviously going to lose, so they are pulling out all the stops and trying to get rid of Trump. Gosh, his twitter is shut down. HOW CONVENIENT. COUP IS ON
IT IS OVER. The military has now started ignoring Trump and is only speaking to Pelosi, Pence, Schumer and McConnel. IT IS OVER FOLKS. OVER.
The military is not going to be there for us. Today we finally got a complete look at the corruption, and it included the DC police, Rand Paul, Pence, and now the military. We cannot overcome that, it is OVER. Trump never had a chance. Now is when we finally found out just how bad it really was. Pence was a rattlesnake planted in Trump's heel the entire 4 years.
Update: The bastards are back in session. Yippee. This is NOT AN AMERICAN SESSION.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: I have edited this page now that it is known that Antifa crisis actors "stormed the capitol" with the full permission of the police, who shot only a pregnant woman who was not an actor they could be sure of. THAT'S RIGHT, THE PREGNANT WOMAN WAS NOT APPROVED IN THE CROWD THAT "STORMED THE CAPITOL" SO THEY SHOT HER IN THE NECK.
The electoral college was stormed BY ANTIFA. The DC police let them right in and they nuked Trump's twitter over this video.
CONFIRMED. WORST FEARS REALIZED. NO PATRIOTS STORMED THE CAPITOL EXCEPT FOR ONE PREGNANT WOMAN THE DC POLICE WERE NOT SURE WAS AN ACTOR, SO THEY SHOT HER. THIS VIDEO PROVES IT. THE DC POLICE SIMPLY LET THE PEOPLE IN AND THE GUY WHO WENT INTO THE CHAMBER AND SAT BEHIND THE PODIUM IS RIGHT HERE, IN THIS VIDEO.
Update: There is, in addition to the video to the left, Another video that shows the police resisting in a different location. The linked tweet says this was the "exact moment" but there was more than one location. Not all of the police were corrupt, just the ones that let Antifa in.
The two videos do not match. The sidewalks do not match. In one, they resisted. In another, they let them in willingly. So not all the police were corrupt, only enough to do the job I guess.Also, Twitter absolutely HATED this Trump tweet and it probably contributed to the nuking of his account.
