Two Eyewitness Accounts of January 6th in Washington, DC

 There’s a lot of miss information flying around these days especially concerning the events that happened in Washington DC on January 6 when Trump called for his supporters to peacefully meet. Two good friends of mine responded to his request. One went down on a bus and one in a private car, which made their experiences different. I will relate their eyewitness accounts.(Below is a video from the Epoch Times)

An analysis of January 6th's Events

 Because of the volatility of this subject and  censorship in the media, I will not disclose their names. Friend number one took a bus from Orange County, New York. Before the bus left, an assemblyman got on and prayed with them. He prayed for peace and for all to go well, but then got off the bus to take care of his wife and a newborn baby. My friend said as they headed to Washington, it was evident that most of them were Christians as they were cordial, polite and praying on the bus. A number of them had experience with large gatherings as they were pro-life and were informing them of how to assemble peacefully.

 When they arrived in DC, one of the men took a large pole and put a flag on top so that they could identify their group. They disembarked and she told me that there was a mass of people, which she estimated to be about 1 million. They found a place to gather towards the end of the crowd. After they assembled and began to walk to the area where the President would be speaking; she smelled pot and knew something was wrong. "Most Trump supporters don’t smoke pot." She then noticed that peppered throughout the crowd were men dressed in black wearing bulletproof vests. She assumed they were Antifa, as they had no designation of police. As they began to walk, she said people lined the streets, hurling insults at them and heckling the crowd. 

When they got to the area where Trump was giving his speech, all was peaceful. They were there for a couple of hours. When he finished speaking, they started moving towards the Capitol building. When they arrived in the Capitol parking lot, there were reports of violence and so the organizer decided that they should leave, which they did. My friend was very upset because she said 99.9% of them were very peaceful and she felt that they missed a great opportunity to pray all together. She also noted that Trump was not at the Capitol at that time when the violence erupted. He had been speaking to them at that time. She also said that reports of the timeline verified this.

 What’s really disturbing is what happened the next day. The Democratic Party called for the resignation of the assemblyman who they accused of going down on the bus with a group of insurrectionists and rioters, which was a lie. So the assemblyman called a meeting of the press the next day and invited all those who had been on the bus to go down and meet at his office. He then showed the press that the group that had been on the bus, which consisted of regular Americans: men and woman, mothers and fathers, grandmothers and a priest. They were not insurrectionists or rioters. He asked the Democratic party to apologize for calling them that, which they did not. Furthermore, he had not gone down on the bus with them. This is when it gets really upsetting. That evening the assemblyman received death threats from the Democratic Party and he had to move his wife and baby into hiding for their safety. Imagine that! You may not believe this but this is true. A number of people have been receiving death threats from the Democratic Party(see The Epoch Times Dec. 30)  for not verifying the votes. Also, remember all those fires and smashing storefront windows, even black people’s stores as well as other merchants? You didn’t hear the Democrats denounce that.

The violence at the Capitol was for the most part staged. From America Stands. My other friend is an eyewitness to that. Being at the front of the crowd, she could see more of what was happening. She too had heard Trump speak, but was able to get over to the Capitol building quicker than others. She was on the steps with a large crowd  when suddenly an aggressive group of people shoved past them, with a mission in mind, but she didn't know  their agenda. She wondered and was surprised by their aggressive attitude. She didn't think they were trump supporters because they were different than everyone else in the crowd. When their driver  in their group saw this, he sensed it wouldn’t be good, so they left. 

My friend had heard reports of e-mails that went back and forth between Antifa followers to dress up in Trump regalia, which seemed to make sense with what she experienced. The next day she was horrified when she learned what had taken place—the breaching of the Capitol building and violence. One Trump supporter, who was interviewed, said he went in to see if could talk to someone or help out. He and others had not planned any violence. (I'm not saying all the Trump supporters were peaceful, but the vast majority of them.)

The following day, my friend was trying to figure out everything that happened as she watched the news reports. On video, she saw several white vans pull up and a determined looking crowd disembarked. Although they were dressed in MAGA hats and Trump paraphernalia, she thought most of them were not “Trumpers,” She could tell by their demeanor and attitude as they shoved their way through the crowd towards the Capitol building. They began to agitate the crowd and surged the Capitol steps. These may have been the very ones who shoved passed her on the steps or a very similar group. She stated that the regular Trump supporters around her, had not premediated any violence, nor was it spearheaded by Trump, neither was he an insurrectionist! (After watching some other raw footage, I will concede that some Trump supporters did force their way into the Capitol and were aggressive, but nothing like the violent demonstrations  of this summer.) 

We must be in prayer for our nation, and the deep deception that is being played out over the people of the United States—friends and family are falling prey to their web of lies. Will you please gather with your church family and friends and continue to pray that the truth will be revealed? I believe the answer to all the lies and our nation’s problems lies in a true relationship with Jesus Christ and not in political parties, but neither can we bury our head in the sand. What do you think?

 PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THE CAPITOL FOR THE INAUGERATION ON THE 20TH. LETS BE PRAYING INSTEAD! 

Statement from the President: "In light of reports of more demonstrations, I urge that there must be NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism of any kind. That is not what I stand for, and it is not what America stands for. I call on ALL Americans to help ease tensions and calm tempers. Thank You." These are not the words of a man who promotes violence because he is not.
