Multiple undercover agents and informants have been involved in various incidents throughout history. For example, in Michigan, there were more informants and agents than actual kidnappers in a right-wing militia plot. The FBI has also infiltrated left-wing groups like Occupied Cleveland. On January 6th, a man named Ray Epps, who was seen leading the charge into the Capitol, has raised suspicions of being an informant. Footage shows him pushing a large MAGA sign towards police, while others who touched the sign were arrested and charged. The Gateway Pundit, an online news site, has been investigating these incidents and believes that the government and various agencies were involved in the violence that day.

The January 6th events at the US Capitol are described as disgraceful and a deliberate assault on democracy. Bobby Powell, a retired radio journalist, claims to have video evidence of provocateurs or suspicious actors present at the Capitol. Powell describes witnessing a man removing a window and encouraging others to enter, as well as another man pushing people inside while yelling, "hold the line." He sent the video to the FBI but says the individuals have not been identified. Powell expresses frustration that his evidence and similar findings by attorney Brad Guyer are being ignored by media and politicians. Another speaker claims a group of provocateurs broke away and coordinated the removal of bike racks. They allege that suspicious actors provoked police and removed barriers, creating space for the crowd to enter, suggesting that most people believed they had permission to be there. One speaker claims that the FBI, not Trump supporters, led the insurrection.

Speaker 0 and Speaker 1 discuss an incident where a person named Ray Epps repeatedly urged them and others to go into the capital building. Speaker 1 recalls encountering Epps on January 5th during a protest outside BLM Plaza. Epps followed Speaker 1 and began instructing the crowd, famously saying they should go into the capital the next day. Speaker 0 also expresses readiness to go into the capital. Speaker 1 questions whether Epps was part of a scripted plan or an undercover agent inciting violence. The conversation ends with Speaker 0 emphasizing the need to go to the capital where their problems lie.

What needs to be established is whether the FBI and government agents used undercover operatives on January 6th. If evidence shows they had informants, it undermines the insurrection narrative. There’s reasonable suspicion of federal involvement, especially with video evidence of a person directing people into the building and the case of Ray Epps, who was briefly on the FBI's most wanted list. Two significant points support this: Epps’ sudden removal from the list suggests he may have been an informant, and FBI official Jill Sanborn's refusal to answer whether federal agents were involved indicates possible involvement. Her silence implies that confirming their presence could compromise ongoing operations.

Multiple undercover agents and informants have been involved in various incidents throughout history. For example, in Michigan, there were more informants and agents than actual kidnappers in a right-wing militia plot. The FBI has also infiltrated left-wing groups like Occupied Cleveland. On January 6th, a man named Ray Epps, who was seen leading the charge into the Capitol, has raised suspicions of being an informant. Footage shows him pushing a large MAGA sign towards police officers, an act that got others charged with assault. Meanwhile, other individuals involved in the Capitol breach have faced harsh sentences, despite being poor or middle-class individuals who were there to protest the election. There is evidence suggesting that undercover law enforcement officers may have encouraged and assisted individuals in entering the Capitol. The investigation into the events of January 6th is ongoing.

The video discusses whether the FBI had confidential human sources among the January 6th protesters. Speaker 1 denies this claim. Speaker 3, the former chief of the Capitol Police, suggests that the crowd on January 6th included federal agents. Speaker 1 questions the seriousness of conspiring to defraud America, comparing it to past instances like the weapons of mass destruction claim and financial collapses. They argue that many others have defrauded America without facing trial. Speaker 3 criticizes the Jan 6th committee, stating that if intelligence had been reported correctly, the situation could have been prevented. Speaker 1 believes that everyone involved in the committee should be on trial themselves.

The video explores the question of whether undercover agents or assets for the federal government played a role in agitating people to enter the Capitol on January 6th. The focus is on a man named Ray Epps, who was captured on video encouraging protesters to go into the Capitol. The video analyzes Epps' interactions with Baked Alaska, a livestreamer, and highlights Epps' repetitive phrases and unusual behavior. It also reveals a previously unseen conversation where Epps whispers, "storm the Capitol" to Baked Alaska. The video raises questions about Epps' possible involvement and the lack of attention given to his actions.

The discussion centers on whether January 6 violence was an FBI operation. Speaker 0 denies that the violence at the Capitol was part of any operation orchestrated by FBI sources or agents. Speaker 1 asks if the FBI had an engagement with embedded agents; Speaker 0 repeats denial. Several speakers challenge the lack of answers about how many agents were present, suggesting informants were involved. Speaker 5 says "attorneys for the Proud Boys revealed at least 40 undercover informants were doing surveillance on the defendants that day, including 13 working in the DC Metro Police." Plainclothes MPD officers on Capitol Grounds are referenced. Speaker 6 says he provided high-definition video to lawmakers and accuses the FBI/DOJ of ignoring it; he describes an open window and an operative pulling it. Speaker 7 concludes: "it was the FBI and not Trump supporters who led the insurrection of the Capitol on January 6."

In this video, there are discussions about the involvement of FBI agents and informants in the events of January 6th. Questions are raised about whether they committed crimes or encouraged violence. The focus then shifts to a man named Ray Epps, who was initially on the FBI's most wanted list but was later removed. The video also shows footage of individuals removing fences and discusses how easy it was for people to be drawn into the breach site. The brother of a man involved in the Capitol insurrection is interviewed, highlighting their political differences. There are also mentions of Antifa and questions about Speaker Pelosi's involvement. The video concludes with criticism of the January 6th committee's refusal to ask important questions.

The conversation centers on a set of claims and observations about January 6 that orbit around Sedition Hunters, Ray Epps, and the so-called “Northwest Scaffold Commander.” The speakers discuss and link multiple pieces of information to argue that the FBI and other agencies were paying close attention to, or coordinating with, covert actor networks on that day. - The discussion opens with a reference to a John Solomon article about Sedition Hunters and claims that the FBI and Justice Department paid Sedition Hunters about $150,000 to gather evidence on January 6 protesters to help the FBI make arrests. They note the figure was reported as over $100,000 in some places and $150,000 in a House hearing, and they say the FBI/DOJ paid Sedition Hunters, the SPLC, the ADL, the Atlantic Council, DFR Lab, and Bellingcat for intelligence. - The main focus shifts to a piece titled Meet Ray Epps (December 2021) by the speakers’ interlocutor, where they argue that the “main star of the show” was not Ray Epps, but a different figure labeled Northwest Scaffold Commander (referred to as Scaffold Commander). They emphasize that Sedition Hunters’ archives identified Scaffold Commander as their number-one suspect, although he was not placed on the FBI’s most-wanted list. - They recount how, on January 8, 2021, the FBI’s most-wanted list listed Ray Epps as a top suspect in the case, with public calls for information and a cash reward. By late June 2021, a Phoenix newspaper identified him as “Reyes,” and on July 1, 2021, the FBI removed Epps from the wanted list with no explanation and no arrest. They contrast this with Scaffold Commander, who was never added to the FBI’s public wanted list for identification by the public, despite being the focal point of Sedition Hunters’ investigations. - The speakers describe Scaffold Commander as an older man with glasses, a nerdy mask, and a blue cap, who allegedly directed the breach from the Northwest scaffold overlooking the Capitol. They claim he used a bullhorn to issue commands for approximately 18 minutes to an hour and a half, from 1:00 PM to about 2:30 PM, urging the crowd with phrases like “Move forward,” “Don’t just stand there,” “Help somebody over the wall,” and “We gotta fill up the capital.” - They juxtapose these observations with the chronology of the breach: the first breach around 12:53 PM, the crowd’s advance toward the Capitol, and the moment rioters entered the building. They argue Scaffold Commander acted as a ringleader and that Ray Epps was directly beneath him in the crowd, effectively functioning as an internal participant who helped draw people toward the front. - A key point they stress is that Scaffold Commander’s high perch and commanding role align with a long-cited CIA manual from 1983, Psychological Operations in Guerrilla Warfare, which describes a small cadre of crowd agitators operating from elevated positions to direct slogans and crowd movement. They quote and reference passages describing an “outside commando element” that stays above the crowd to observe and direct a demonstration, using high observation points to shout instructions and guide the crowd’s actions. - The speakers argue that the FBI has not acknowledged Scaffold Commander, has not included him on any public list, and has not publicly solicited identification for him, despite Sedition Hunters’ focus on him as the pivotal organizer. They suggest that internal FBI records, memos, or emails about Scaffold Commander could be highly revealing, potentially showing whether higher-ups instructed not to pursue him. - They conclude by urging the FBI and related investigators to search their internal records for “Northwest Scaffold Commander” and make any relevant documents public, implying that such records could undermine the official narrative of the event. They also frame the existence of an internal, externally guided command structure as a critical piece of the January 6 story that remains underexplored by authorities.

We had full cooperation from the Capitol Police and the speaker's office, but we couldn't show that FBI agents were present in the crowd, which the FBI has admitted. Ray Epps was not a civilian; he encouraged violence, yet the January 6th committee defended him. There were clear signs of federal involvement, like individuals with earpieces breaking things and then fleeing. I didn't want to wrongly label anyone as an agent without proof. The recent Proud Boys trial revealed an FBI agent lied and hid evidence. We need crowdsourcing for the footage, which should be public. The narrative around January 6th has been misrepresented; it was a violent political demonstration, not a deadly insurrection. Intelligence about the event was withheld from Capitol Police, suggesting a deliberate attempt to create chaos for political gain.

Discussion centers on the agent provocateur angle of January 6. They claim there were federal agents involved in instigating the violence and entering the Capitol, and that "this one guy" has faced no legal consequences while others face "massive federal charges and four years plus in jail." They compare to the World Trade Organization riots in Seattle '99, saying "literal government agents went in wearing antifa outfits" to provoke violence and were released conveniently. They focus on "Ray Epps, the Fed protected provocateur who appears to have led the first January 6 attack on the US Capitol," referencing a Revolver article and a video. They debate whether he was initiated by government, radicalized and acting on his own, or a rogue agent; they note it shows intelligence agency problems. They worry about autocratic solutions and how social media exposes such cases; they end with "Red or black" and Ray Epps.

- "Do you know who Ray Epps is, and where is he? And, is he sitting behind bars like some of these other, protesters who've been sitting there without bail for so long?" - "And what we need to know is whether or not that cooperation existed on January 5 and January 6 to get people to do things that they might otherwise not do, like enter the capital." - "We already know as a consequence of reporting in revolver.news and in re really, that was confirmed by the New York Times that there were people texting their handlers from the crowd in January 5 and January 6." - "Now we just need to know whether the folks being controlled by the federal government were, in fact, the very people that were doing the worst things on January 6."

"He is calling for going into the capital the evening before January 6." "And this isn't just a one off, someone some crazy who comes and goes. No." "He goes repeatedly to group after group, redirecting them saying, we need to go into the capital." "on January 6, it's a veritable, where's Waldo? He's everywhere." "twenty seconds before the very first breach of the capital, this individual Ray Epps whispers into someone's ear," "So he's everywhere." "But what it did do is said that Ray Epps was acting alone." "the FBI scrubbed Epps's face from their database, from their public database, just a day after Revolver ran a report on his fellow oath keeper, Stuart Rhodes, who is also unindicted."

Multiple federal agents and informants have been involved in undercover operations targeting both right-wing and left-wing groups. In the case of the Michigan militia plot to kidnap the governor, there were more informants and undercover agents than actual kidnappers. Similarly, in the Occupy Cleveland case, anarchists were led by an FBI informant. On January 6th, a man named Ray Epps, who was seen leading the crowd and pushing a large MAGA sign, has not been arrested despite others being charged for similar actions. The Gateway Pundit has been covering these incidents and believes that government agents were involved in instigating the violence. The investigation into the events of January 6th is ongoing.

Let's discuss January 6th. There’s no evidence it was an inside job; that’s a fringe theory. However, the released video footage raises questions about the number of federal agents present that day. It shows Capitol Police allowing people in, some of whom are now facing severe consequences, including suicide. This could be seen as entrapment, where authorities provoke individuals into actions they wouldn't normally take, then arrest them. Many were convicted before this evidence emerged. If law enforcement hadn't used forceful measures like concussion grenades and pepper spray, the situation may have remained peaceful.

Speaker describes Ray Epps as "a man walking about a psychological paradox as the events of January 6 are unfolding because he seems to be singularly driven by this desire to get people to enter the capital, but then he is overwhelmingly concerned with no harm to officers or nothing that would, impair the operations of potentially other people that could have been acting at the behest of the federal government." "What were the tells that this didn't strike you as a genuine MAGA grandfather?" The piece hinges on "the video footage itself," with Revolver News' clip "Where's Waldo?" following Epps from January 5 into January, sixth. He argues there was "no plan by in the case of the Trump supporters to go in." He was at the barricade on January 6, and "the very first breach of the Capitol occurred literally two seconds after this same Ray Epps whispers into somebody's ear." Described as "professional"—"cool cucumber" and a "cold professional," proficient at crowd control. Red flags include "radical extreme suggestions" like "let's go into the capital," with a "weird emotional detachment" from the content of what someone is saying.

Speaker 0 asks Miss Sandburn about Ray Epps and his suspicious behavior during the January 6th incident at the Capitol. He mentions Epps chanting about getting into the Capitol and the crowd suspecting him of being a federal agent. Speaker 0 also brings up Epps whispering to someone who then tears down barricades. He questions whether Epps urged them to do so. Speaker 0 mentions the FBI's public post seeking information on individuals involved in violent crimes, including Epps, but later Epps disappears from the list. Speaker 0 expresses concerns about the government's involvement in encouraging illegal conduct on January 6th and asks if federal agents actively encouraged violence. Miss Sandburn denies any knowledge of such actions.

The video explores the question of whether undercover agents or assets for the federal government played a role in instigating the events of January 6th. It focuses on Ray Epps, a man who has been accused of being a government informant and encouraging violence at the Capitol. The video presents evidence from various sources, including livestream footage, suggesting that Epps may have been acting suspiciously and repeating certain phrases to manipulate the crowd. However, it also acknowledges that there is no concrete proof of Epps' involvement as a confidential source. The lack of attention given to this story in the past is also highlighted.

Meet Ray Epps. Fucking yeah. At close. Meet Ray Epps, the Fed protected provocateur who appears to have led the very first one six attack January 6 attack on The US capital. So let's watch some of this because it's fucking crazy. It's really weird. This guy is doing this, like, over and over and over again. Yeah. This was there's a video of it. This is an article about Oh. So this is an article that's in revolver. Hold on. I'll get the video. We'll find the video because the the video is fucking strange. Ray Epps' video. Here it is. Like this. Well, that's twenty minutes long. Well, just watch. We'll see some of it.

Speaker 0: "What I'm saying is a reasonable suspicion is that there were agents. There's a video showing a guy with an earpiece pulling people into the building. Alright? Mhmm. You combine that with the evidence of Ray Epps, and it looks like you have a preponderance of evidence suggesting there may have been federal law enforcement involved in making that thing happen." Speaker 1: "I'll get you beyond a reasonable doubt. Two pieces of information. Ray Epps was on FBI's most wanted list one day, and the next day, he was off of the FBI's most wanted list. There are only two ways that happens. You die or your informant." Speaker 1: "Put that aside. Under congressional testimony, Jill Sanborn, who I used to work with, the head of the FBI counterintelligence division in charge of all these investigations, testified under oath when senator Cruz asked her, flat out, were there federal agents involved with January 6? And she said, quote, senator, I can't answer that at this time." Speaker 1: "The reason she said I can't answer that is because of the same stonewalling they gave us during Russergate with Christopher Steelehauper and everybody else. It's the same narrative, and and I'm telling you they were there." Speaker 0: "You're so you're saying that she said I can't answer that because the answer is yes Yeah. And that would compromise whatever their operation was. Exactly."

There is reasonable suspicion that federal agents were involved in the January 6th events, supported by a video showing an individual with an earpiece directing people into the building. Additionally, Ray Epps was briefly on the FBI's most wanted list, raising questions about his status as either deceased or an informant. Under congressional testimony, Jill Sanborn, head of the FBI Counterintelligence Division, was asked about federal agents' involvement and stated she couldn't answer at that time. This evasiveness suggests a potential cover-up, as a definitive "no" would have been expected if there were no agents involved.

An individual provided video footage purportedly showing two federal agents attacking the Capitol on January 6th. A defense attorney for the Oath Keepers filed a motion identifying 80 "suspicious actors" and "material witnesses" present at the Capitol on January 6th who have not been arrested or charged. These individuals were concentrated in areas where trouble occurred, including the East Side and the Columbus doors. The attorney alleges some worked in tactical two-man teams and were later seen on the terrace. He seeks to identify them using facial recognition and questions if the events were staged. A radio journalist captured footage of two individuals he believed to be government agents. One was encouraging people to enter the Capitol after a window had been broken, even pulling out a pane of glass himself. When he realized he was being filmed, he blamed a protester and shoved him. The other individual was holding open the Columbus doors with a wooden pole and pushing people inside. The journalist who shot the video said the man shoved him. One person claims that the FBI, not Trump supporters, led the insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th.

We had cooperation from the Capitol Police and the speaker's office, but we couldn't show that FBI agents were in the crowd, which they admitted. Ray Epps was not just a civilian; he encouraged violence, yet the January 6th committee defended him. There were clear signs of federal involvement, but I didn't want to wrongly accuse anyone. The recent Proud Boys trial revealed an FBI agent lied and hid evidence, raising questions about their role. We need to crowdsource the footage, as it's publicly owned. The claims about January 6th being a violent insurrection are misleading; it was a political demonstration among many that year. Intelligence about potential violence was withheld from Capitol Police, suggesting a deliberate attempt to create chaos and discredit a political party.

Speaker 0 argues that the individual is late, then urges going into the capital, which is described as incitement and premeditated. The speaker asserts the person is on video stating, “we need to breach the capital” and says this is very relevant because people ended up doing it. The claim is that the individual is instigating violence, trying to provoke or catalyze illegal acts so that the government can arrest those involved, describing undercover federal assets as honeypots that goad people into committing crimes to enable arrests of people law enforcement wanted to arrest anyway. The speaker then questions if the DOJ or federal law enforcement is seeking an insurrection, conspiracy, or acts of violence aimed at undermining an act of Congress, and asks why they aren’t looking into this person, suggesting that a lack of interest implies he may be part of the government or federal law enforcement. The implication is that there could be a reason for not pursuing him other than him being unaffiliated, namely that he is working with law enforcement. Ted Cruz is described as addressing this in a Senate hearing, with the speaker plan to read a report from the New York Post. The report is quoted: “magically, mister Epps disappeared from the public posting. According to public records, mister Epps has not been charged with anything. No one has explained why a person videoed, urging people to go to the capital, a person whose conduct was so suspect, the crowd thought he was a fed, would magically disappear from the list of people the FBI was looking at.” The overall claim is that Mister Epps, who encouraged people to go to the capital, vanished from FBI attention without explanation, despite being photographed urging action and being suspected by the crowd of being a federal agent.
