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 6 stuff was a culmination of what started many years ago back when Obama was in office." "There were some near the top who knew something was coming, and they prepped for it." "They were going to eliminate Pence." "There were agents out there. There were phony FBI out there. There was phony Secret Service, and there was phony US marshals." "There were people in place for months planning this, and there were there was help from certain intelligence agents and assets in this country, but there was also a foreign country, a couple of them helped." "One of them what we all like for Thanksgiving, yeah, Turkey." "They had people in their intelligence agency over there, MIT." "They were over here to help as well." "So why not come over here and help somebody else who is disloyal to his country and his president?"

I have been accused, and it's been a paid campaign, of being a federal agent because I was at January 6 and did not get charged. However, despite being at January 6 and not trespassing, which is the crime that everybody was charged with, despite not being charged, not having committed a crime, I only had my bank account frozen for six months, I only was placed on the federal no fly list for a year, and I was only subpoenaed by Congress. I testified under oath when I was deposed as part of the subpoena last year, or I think that was rather in 2022, that I did not ever have contact with federal law enforcement at any time during or after any of the election riots or protests. This was a narrative that was cooked up. Nobody was saying this in 2021 or 2022 because all of my legal problems were publicized. I was on the no fly list, I had my money taken, I was banned from everything. It was only after Joe Kent was defeated in 2022 in the midterms that Max Blumenthal, Joe Kent's best friend, wrote a three part hit piece about me with his wife, Anya Parampol, accusing me of being a fed. They paid people, someone paid people, on Influencible to spread this article and the narrative that I'm a Fed. The claim grew that I gave a speech outside the Capitol and I said, we're taking the Capitol back, keep moving. They say I incited people to go in the building. The report says that none of their confidential sources on the ground were encouraging people to go in the building. There were undercover operatives or informants tasked to do that, but there were no undercover agents and out of 26 informants none of them were doing that. If the claim was I was entrapping people, that wasn't happening. The report also says that all the confidential sources were known to law enforcement before and were interviewed afterward. If I were one of the confidential sources, why would they make the mistake of freezing my money and putting me on the no fly list? The New York Times said they did charge me. I testified under oath that I never talked to law enforcement under penalty of perjury. So if anything, they’ve been saying Trump is gonna get in and blow the whistle. I wish he would on January 6 because if anything comes out, they could arrest me for perjury. I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars defending myself from the feds; lawyers aren’t cheap. My lawyers, not cheap. I probably spent over 200,000, close to 250,000 in legal fees. All the money that I was given by the mysterious French donor, nearly all of it after it was unfrozen, I wound up spending on legal fees. I had to borrow money from people because my bank account was frozen for six months. I missed weddings of my best friends, funerals of my best friends because I was on the federal no fly list. I haven’t had banking services for four years. I haven’t been able to process a credit card for my business. I’ve been banned from everything—Facebook, Instagram; Twitter until May, not even a year ago. For years I spent defending myself from attacks as a racist and a Nazi and a Holocaust denier, then the tactic switched to accusing me of law enforcement, then gay, pedophile, the usual. The grand irony is that Tucker Carlson, a close friend of Max Blumenthal, collaborated on the piece; Tucker Carlson’s father is a federal agent, and during January 6 Tucker Carlson was not talking about election fraud and said he hated Trump. I’m pulling the veil back a little bit, because this is politics. The election was stolen, and there are these dynamics with Blumenthal, Kent, Tucker, and Max Blumenthal’s wife’s article in The Grey Zone.

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.

It's clear that the narrative around January 6th has been misleading. Initially, I didn't suspect any involvement from law enforcement or military agencies. However, after interviewing Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, who confirmed the presence of federal agents, I began to question the official story. The lies surrounding January 6th are evident, and if someone lies about one thing, it raises doubts about everything else. For instance, Jacob Chansley, known as the Qanon Shaman, was imprisoned despite being escorted by police into the Senate chamber. This situation highlights the misuse of terms like "insurrection" and the unjust treatment of individuals based on misleading narratives. It's infuriating to see people suffer due to these lies without any accountability from those perpetuating them.

BuzzFeed has just confirmed that the FBI had a, quote, “hand in nearly every aspect of the alleged plot, starting with its inception. In other words, the FBI helped plan it.” An FBI informant organized meetings to kidnap the governor. Another informant, quote, prodded the alleged mastermind of the kidnapping plot to advance his plan. And text from an FBI agent directed an informant to draw people into the conspiracy. In the end, it looks like there were more FBI snitches, informants, people working with the FBI involved in the plot than weren't. It was an FBI plot. So what does this suggest about January 6? We know there were FBI informants in the crowd. We know that for certain. Why can't we know their involvement in January 6 now that we're getting a sense of their involvement in this fake kidnapping plot? Julie Kelly of American Greatness discussed the Lansing April 2020 protest mirroring January 6, with militia groups in military gear, police stood down, firearms, and viral photographs. She cited the plausibility of FBI infiltration before January 6 and Revolver News Darren Beatty's article. The discussion called for leaders to question Christopher Wray.

Two things are highlighted: a serious look at charging documents for militia groups, and the Michigan infiltration episode, described as the 'kidnapping plot' and a 'plot to storm the Michigan state capitol'—seen as a dry run for a later action by the same groups. It says no one else mentioned this Michigan event in understanding what may have happened on January 6 until Revolver News, and that this was the thrust of the initial report that opened up the entire Pandora's box. The other speaker adds that this was not covered by the press, calling it potential clickbait about 'a conspiracy plot by our federal government to be involved in a kidnapping operation of a governor,' noting that 'the head of that operation is now in that position here in Washington, D. C. overseeing this January 6 investigation.'

Why are there still so many facts we don't understand about January 6, and why is the Biden administration preventing us from knowing? The claim they are hiding more than ten thousand hours of surveillance tape is questioned, with Revolver News offering an answer. The government allegedly hiding the identity of many law enforcement officers who participated in the riot, with some named as unindicted co conspirators. Person two and person three are described as organizers, with Caldwell linked to a quick reaction force and not charged. Revolver News says there are upwards of 20 unindicted co conspirators in the Oathkeeper indictments. The piece asserts the insurrection was organized at least in part by government agents. It cites the FBI director's admission of infiltrating dissident groups, contrasts informant roles with paying people to organize violence, and discusses Whitmer and Garland; a former FBI official talks about rounding up dissent.

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."

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.

I received a call from someone in Great Britain asking about federal agents in the crowd. I denied their presence, assuming I would have been informed. However, later I learned that there were indeed federal agents present. This was confirmed by Jill Sanborn's testimony in 2021, where she mentioned the FBI taking overt action to prevent certain individuals from attending the January 6th event in DC. In February 2023, a GAO report revealed that the FBI was tracking 4 domestic terrorists on January 3rd, which increased to 18 or 19 by January 6th. It's reasonable to have resources and multiple agents for such a situation, but it's concerning that this information wasn't shared in intelligence.

They say the FBI anticipated consternation around the election and actually prepared plans for January 6. They held a tabletop exercise in Boston in August 2020, five months before January 6. Kash Patel recently turned over memos to Congress at the request of Chairman Barry Lautenberg (Lautomilk) of the J-six investigation. The memos show the FBI knew there was a strong possibility of a hanging or contested election, with both sides agitated and likely to escalate to violence. They devised specific strategies, including embedding informants inside the groups where political violence or agitation might occur. They say the FBI had two dozen informants on the ground the morning of January 6. They also recommended mass prosecutions, even for the most minor crimes, which is described as exactly what the FBI did after January 6. Two big takeaways: the strategy appears to have been hatched months before and then carried out, and it involved a clear double standard compared to the political violence by the left in 2020. The FBI allegedly embedded informants in a broad range of groups, including Antifa and right-wing groups, and gathered intelligence suggesting a bad episode would occur. Barry Lautemux reportedly stated that while the warnings from informants were strong, the preparations of warnings to the brethren of the Capitol in Washington, DC did not exist. In other words, warnings were not passed along. The claim is that two failed examples of the Chris era of the FBI show that, knowing something was going to happen, they implemented a strategy that hurt conservatives but not liberals and did not warn the people who could actually prevent the violence. This is described as the legacy of the Chris Ray FBI, now laid open in documents for all to see. The question is whether any part shows that Bill Barr or Chris Ray briefed the president or his staff, or senior White House officials after the tabletop exercise and the development of the informant plan. The answer given is no: there is no documentation showing that the attorney general, Barr or other brass were briefed, and no mention that the White House, Homeland Security Department, Capitol Police, or Washington DC Metropolitan Police were alerted. The characterization is that the FBI remained insular, echoing the same “diseases” seen before nine-eleven.

- "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."

"the feds are entirely uninterested in this guy," "if anyone's a kind of major orchestrator in the first act of this so called breach of the capital, it would be him." "Epps' face was actually one of the first 20 faces that the FBI put on their January 6 most wanted list that anyone in DC would have seen, like, they had the posters everywhere." "Help us identify this man." "And then the Internet being what the Internet is, a remarkable vehicle, identified him within days and then crickets." "The feds weren't interested nothing about him until five months later, they scrubbed his face and name completely from their public database." "And the we were able to interpolate the exact day that they scrubbed it, and just by coincidence happened to be the very day after Revolver News ran an extensive piece on his, former, fellow oath keeper, Stuart Rhodes."

We had full 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 and was defended by the January 6th committee. There were clear signs of federal involvement, but I didn't want to wrongly accuse anyone without proof. Recent trials revealed FBI misconduct, including hiding evidence. We need to crowdsource the footage from January 6th, as it belongs to the public. The narrative of a violent insurrection is misleading; it was a political demonstration among many that year. Intelligence about the event was withheld from Capitol Police, suggesting a motive to create a politically damaging situation.

"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.

The New York Times published a report vindicating what we said months ago: FBI operatives were deeply involved in the events of January 6, the white supremacist QAnon insurrection. Citing, "confidential records," the newspaper reported that "the records suggest that federal law enforcement had a far greater visibility into the assault on the capital even as it was taking place than was previously known," and that an FBI handler was texting a member of the so called Proud Boys, they're America's greatest threat, at the Capitol Complex. Darren Beatty of Revolver. News says the extent is far more than the feds and the media were willing to admit. The NYT piece acknowledges two informants, and if the NYT is covering this, it's because the situation is far worse and there'll be many more informants coming to light. This creates a strategic dilemma for the feds and regime media: if informants existed, why didn't you stop it? The shift away from foreplanning undermines the conspiracy narrative behind one six and its prosecutions and commission. Either way, they're lying, and the effect is to strip law abiding patriotic Americans of their civil liberties. Darren Beatty of Revolver. News, which got this story right months before anybody else.

Three years after January 6, the speaker questions whether federal agencies played a role in staging the events. In a 2022 Homeland Security hearing, Congressman Clay Higgins asked: 'Did the FBI have confidential human sources embedded within the January 6 protesters and dressed as Trump supporters inside the Capitol prior to the doors being opened?' The FBI director said such claims are 'categorically false.' Higgins says evidence suggests 'deep state actors within the federal government' lured Americans to Washington and 'set the stage for j four, five, and six'—with 'well over 200' FBI assets in the crowd and inside the Capitol who 'led' protesters inside. He argues the objective was to 'destroy the entire mega movement' and to keep Trump out of office. He calls for releasing unredacted 'digital files from j four, five, and six' and cites those who 'cheered the murder of Ashley Babbitt.'

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."

It's clear that there were significant lies surrounding January 6th. Initially, I didn't suspect any involvement from law enforcement or military agencies. However, after interviewing Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, who confirmed the presence of federal agents, my perspective changed. The narrative around January 6th has been misleading, particularly regarding individuals like Jacob Chansley, who was imprisoned despite being escorted by police. This raises serious questions about the labeling of the event as an insurrection. It was a moment of anger, not an armed coup. The treatment of Chansley and others is unjust, and the media's complicity in these lies is troubling. It's unacceptable to imprison someone for actions that were misrepresented, and the lack of accountability for those who lied is infuriating.

The Justice Department released a report revealing the FBI had 26 confidential human sources in DC on January 6th, with four entering the Capitol and 13 entering the restricted area. Questions arose regarding the discrepancy between this information and previous testimonies given under oath by FBI Director Ray. Concerns were raised about whether these sources instigated events, similar to the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot. The media is accused of downplaying the report's significance, while Republicans claim the events were an inside job. The report's implications for January 6th defendants are discussed, particularly regarding potential pardons and whether confidential human sources are exempt from prosecution. Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley questioned why the confidential human sources who entered the capital were not charged. Trump may pardon January 6th defendants. Tulsi Ganford may become the next DNI.

The FBI had over 200 agents embedded in the crowd on January 6th, some even posing as Trump supporters. They infiltrated online groups discussing COVID restrictions, leading discussions of violence. Capitol Police were seen welcoming people into the Capitol, contradicting the insurrection narrative.

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.
