Was Ray Epps an agent provocateur? Another covert truth is revealed about the Jan.6 rally
2 years 6 months ago - 2 years 6 months ago
Ray Epps is a man who, more than any other individual, appears to be the key to unlocking the question of probable active federal involvement in the so-called “Capitol Siege” of January 6th.
He is seen on camera plotting a pre-planned attack on the Capitol. On both January 5 and January 6, Epps announced multiple times, at multiple locations, his upcoming plot to breach the US Capitol. He then spent hours attempting to recruit a growing number of followers to join him in breaching the Capitol. On top of it all, Epps was seen leading violent cadres and managing key aspects of the initial breach of the Capitol grounds himself.
Newly released videos show Epps following through on his stated mission to shepherd others inside the Capitol. He actively orchestrate elements of the very first breach of the Capitol barricades at 12:50 p.m, while Trump still had 20 minutes left in his rally speech.
It is quite significant that the FBI originally put Ray Epps’s face on its Capitol Violence “Most Wanted List” on January 8, 2021, just two days after Jan.6. They offered a cash reward for information leading to his arrest. In fact, rank-and-file FBI agents initially deemed Epps’s role as an apparent riot organizer so important that they named him Suspect #16—one of the first 20 high-profile FBI targets in a database now packed with more than 500 suspects.
Six months later, when The New York Times and other media published inconvenient stories that encouraged a more aggressive interrogation about the role of Ray Epps in the Capitol breach, the FBI quietly purged all online Ray Epps files from their website. Furthermore, agents of the FBI Field Office in Phoenix (where Epps lives) have gone so far as to explicitly deny knowledge that Ray Epps even exists. Instead of pursuing Epps, FBI agents have instead pursued journalists who had the temerity to interview and ask Epps in person if he was a government operative.
Some 700 people have been arrested for their part in the Jan. 6 demonstration. Some are kept practically incommunicado. But Epps and a handful of other major players in that drama remain unindicted. Indeed, although the FBI surely knows their identity, they remain nameless to the public, known only through amateur video footage of the event.
Some of these nameless instigators are clearly seen in recently released amateur videos how they calmly removed fences and signage on Jan. 6, clearing a path for the protestors, who were carefully funneled through that one walkway up to the Capitol.
"Okay, we’re in! Come on! We gotta fill up the Capitol! Come on! Come now!”, shouted the man known as “Scaffold Commander,” so called because he was perched, megaphone in hand, atop a tall tower overlooking the Capitol complex. But he has not been indicted!
The official story, you will recall, says that the "Proud Boys" group caused the riot. But they didn’t! They were not the instigators.
Beyond what is mentioned here is the guy who allegedly placed pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC HQs during the Capitol rally. There is full video surveillance of the guy, but NO ID?????? This same guy is also seen on video, sitting in a local park, talking on his cellphone. Now, the FBI was able to go after people who were in D.C. that day –not at the rally, not at the Capitol– but in a local restaurant, just eating. The FBI was able to pull records of everyone in that town that day, yet they can’t locate nor ID this perp?!
No one can assert with certainty until a proper investigation goes through –if ever– that the agent provocateurs who organized and orchestrated the breach of the Capitol did so at the instigation of federal authorities. But it sure looks that way!
On the other hand, one wonders why none of the 700 detainees have been charged with "insurrection", considering the public outcry of the present government of an aggressive "insurrection" on January 6. Furthermore, while most have been charged only with misdemeanors, all of them have been denied bond! Can it be considered typical of a democratic system where the rule of law prevails to detain for a whole year people who are presumed innocent until they are tried? What happened to the writ of habeas corpus? Is it no longer valid in the present Administration?
