If nothing else, the way the government has defended Ray Epps is proof he was a federal agent or at least some kind of informant operating to help create the riot at the Capitol.

Other people who were accused of doing what Ray Epps is on video doing were given a decade in prison. After he was finally charged, he gets a slap on the wrist.

Do the math.

Politico:

A Jan. 6 rioter who was falsely accused by Donald Trump of being a government agent was sentenced Tuesday to a year of probation for his actions during the attack on the Capitol.

The sentence of Ray Epps is more lenient than the six months of prison time that prosecutors requested. And it marks the conclusion of one of the strangest Jan. 6 subplots: the saga of Epps, a former Oath Keeper from Arizona who was among the first pro-Trump rioters to breach police barricades and then became the target of far-right conspiracy theories.

Epps received death threats after Republican members of Congress and conservative media spread false claims that he was an undercover agent who helped incite the Capitol riot. Those claims were even echoed by Trump — who on Tuesday sat in the same courthouse listening to arguments in one of his own criminal cases at the same time that Epps was being sentenced.


The media has more sympathy for him being a victim of “conspiracy theories” than for Ashli Babbitt being a victim of a bullet in the neck

“This is not an easy sentencing,” said Chief Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. district court in Washington. Boasberg noted that Epps knowingly joined a mob and entered a walled-off area on the day of attack — but then confessed to law enforcement, helped congressional investigators, and saw his life upended by the conspiracy theories.

James “Ray” Epps, a former Marine who ran a wedding venue in Arizona, traveled to Washington for the Jan. 6, 2021, certification of the Electoral College results. On Jan. 5, he told rowdy Trump supporters that they needed to “go to the Capitol” the next day. An attendee videotaped his comments and captured people in the crowd chanting “Fed! Fed! Fed!” at him.

During the Trump rally that preceded the electoral count, Epps told attendees they should march to the Capitol. And right before another defendant, Ryan Samsel, engaged in one of the day’s first acts of violence, Epps whispered in his ear.

Epps traveled with the mob as it turned violent — sometimes trying to quell violence, sometimes not. Prosecutors did not accuse him of having any physical contact with police officers or of entering the Capitol building itself. But, they wrote in a sentencing memo, “[e]ven if Epps did not physically touch law enforcement officers or go inside of the building, he undoubtedly engaged in collective aggressive conduct.”

Epps’ lawyer, meanwhile, pushed back on any suggestion that Epps was violent that day.

In court papers, Epps described chilling harassment after pro-Trump media commentators suggested he could have been planted in the crowd by FBI agents to incite violence and embarrass the Trump movement: a busload of Trump supporters driving past his wedding venue during nuptial ceremonies and shouting threats, shell casings appearing on his property, and strangers telling him in person to “sleep with one eye open.” Epps said the harassment forced him and his wife to sell their business and move to another state.

Epps and the Justice Department reached a deal where he pled guilty to one misdemeanor count: disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds. The charge carried a maximum prison sentence of one year.

Epps argued he should just receive probation. Prosecutors, meanwhile, argued that he bore partial responsibility for the day’s violence and thus deserved six months in prison.

But in his first words at the sentencing hearing, prosecutor Mike Gordon conceded that Epps was both a defendant and a victim. Gordon’s first sentence to the judge: “Ray Epps has been unfairly scapegoated.”

“His life has been destroyed by conspiracy theorists eager to blame the government for the violence on January 6,” he added moments later.

This is the only Trump-supporter, ever, that the government and the media have treated as a victim. In fact, he’s like some kind of hero.

He even got plastic surgery for his round of puff piece interviews.

Poor guy was just a victim of Trump and Fox News

America is such an absolute abomination.

]]> 1/6 People Finally Got Charged with Sedition (Oath Keepers) https://www.anglinarchive.com/2022/01/14/1-6-people-finally-got-charged-with-sedition-oath-keepers/ Fri, 14 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000
To truly understand what happened on January 6, you have to have played through all 5 Metal Gear Solid games.

After the big deal this week with everyone talking about Ray Epps after it was brought up in Congressional hearings, the Justice Department has finally charged people with sedition, i.e., insurrection.

Read the details of that blow-up here: Ted Cruz Attempts Redemption, Crushes FBI Wench at Hearing Regarding 1/6 Violence

Several members of the Oath Keepers now stand accused of trying to overthrow the government.

Tucker Carlson on Thursday interviewed Thomas Caldwell, a member of the Oath Keepers who is being charged with sedition.

The leader of the organization was charged, along with others who were at the Capitol.

CBS News:

The Justice Department charged 11 people, including the founder of the right-wing militia known as the Oath Keepers, with “seditious conspiracy” for their alleged roles in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, the most serious charges brought to date relating to the riot.

Elmer Stewart Rhodes of Granbury, Texas, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., and arrested in Texas on Thursday morning, the Justice Department said. Prosecutors allege he and others conspired to storm the Capitol and interrupt the tallying of electoral votes in the 2020 election.

In total, 19 people were charged in three separate indictments unsealed Thursday. Eleven of the individuals face seditious conspiracy charges, while the rest face counts of corruptly obstructing an official proceeding and other related charges. Rhodes and another man, Edward Vallejo of Phoenix, Arizona, were charged for the first time, while the others have been named in previous indictments.

Stewart Rhodes, as you will recall, has been widely accused of being a fed. He was close friends with Oath Keepers regional leader Ray Epps (who by the way, was not one of the 11 charged and still remains completely uncharged). Also, before these charges, he didn’t have any charges at all, despite the fact that Thomas Caldwell, a typically slow-witted boomer who was just a low-level member of the organization, was arrested in a anti-terrorism style raid and put in solitary confinement for three months on previous conspiracy charges. Caldwell didn’t ever enter the building, and they’re accusing him of trying to move “heavy weapons” to “attack the capitol.”

Side note: The indictment didn’t specify what kind of “heavy weapons” he was planning to move, but the term tends to imply mortars, mortars, howitzers, MPADS, etc.

These are really just outrageous and weird charges. The FBI has not produced any of these alleged “heavy weapons” or described any of the potential logistics of the alleged planning.

The only thing they have is video of this admittedly menacingly cryptic statement he made at the rally…

(To be clear, that is a joke – I edited that screenshot from the DOJ. I’m trying to lighten things up a bit here. As I wrote at the time, the initial interview with Thomas Caldwell on the Tucker Carlson show almost made me cry, this poor old boomer, who could just as easily be one of my family members, going through what he is going through – gotta throw some humor in.)

Several other members of the Oath Keepers were charged, while Rhodes was going around CPAC threatening to fight anyone who questioned him.

Rhodes was the focus of two (here, here) of the infamous (and infamously too long, Darren) Revolver News reports on 1/6, and basically accused outright of being a fed. Revolver has been the source of much of the information surrounding the 1/6 hoax. (I of course called it on the night of, but Darren Beattie of Revolver actually went and pulled all the documents and compiled these thousands of words long articles putting it all together.)

I listened to Alex Jones’ show on Thursday after Rhodes’ arrest, and he said he didn’t believe that Rhodes is a fed, and basically said he’s just stupid. I can believe he’s stupid. I can’t believe the other part.

Remember: low IQ is almost universally correlated with low moral fortitude.

I think he is obviously a fed, and I don’t think these charges change anything at all. Federal informants get charged with things all the time. Usually, they get reduced sentences if the crimes they were charged with were in service of the FBI, but not always.

Famously, the neo-Nazi radio host and FBI informant Hal Turner argued in court that the alleged crimes he was charged with – encouraging people to commit acts of violence against specific individuals – were things he was told to do by the FBI. His attorney went so far as to say he wasn’t even really a racist, he was just saying racist things because the FBI told him to.  Emails between him and the FBI were entered into the court record. The court said that was totally irrelevant. He was sentenced to 33 months for what amounted to “malicious communications.” (You can read his Wikipedia page, it has links to news articles and court documents, I don’t remember all of these details.)

Of course, the infamous Charlottesville informant Christopher Cantwell was sentenced to prison last year for threatening people, although he didn’t have the argument that he was doing it on behalf of the FBI.

On the other end of things, Whitey Bulger, an FBI informant in the mafia, was allowed to kill an unknown number of people while serving as an informant, and the FBI didn’t arrest him for it for decades. It came out at his trial that the FBI knew about at least some of the hits he’d carried out while on their payroll. He was of course beaten to death by fellow inmates when he entered the general population at the ripe age of 89. (In prison, people don’t play games with feds like right-wingers do – 89-year-olds in wheelchairs get beaten to death. Blacks have the same kind of rules. It’s really amazing the way right-wingers are so tolerant of involvement with the FBI.)

Despite the fact that Whitey was allowed by the FBI to commit all kinds of felonies, including murder, for decades, he did eventually get did up. All informants do.

So, Rhodes getting arrested and charged finally means nothing to me in terms of determining whether he was a federal informant. He ran an organization that was filled with feds, and resulted in innocent boomers having their lives completely wrecked.

The difference between Rhodes and Epps is that while Rhodes is likely an informant, Epps is likely actually an undercover FBI agent. That’s the only thing that would really explain what is going on here. It would certainly explain Adam Kinzinger going on a days long Twitter defense of Epps, who remains the only person we have on video identified as actually planning entry into the Capitol.

Kinzinger actually went on TV to praise Epps.

Remember: the entire government is run by exactly that type of creepy moron.

Look at this tweet:

This is the kind of moronic weirdo who if you ended up with him as a neighbor, you would sell your house and move. That’s what all of these people in Congress are. They are people who will sell out the entire country for a $20,000 “contribution” (read: bribe) from Jeff Bezos or George Soros. Probably, most of them are also pedophiles, I would assume.

But I digress.

Meanwhile, Oath Keepers were actually running around inside the Capitol building talking on cellphone chats about kidnapping Nancy Pelosi and “releasing the gas” – at least according to the FBI. So, probably like the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping hoax, it was a mix of agents, informants, and retards caught up in it.

Forget All That Noise – Focus on Your Own Life

Solving the mysteries of Ray Epps and Stewart Rhodes are not really the thing that matters right now. The bigger issue is the fact that the FBI and Department of Justice are moving to classify all normal white people as terrorists, and whatever happened on 1/6, that event is the justification for the whole thing.

They’ve created a new “domestic terrorism task force” to target white people who disagree with the government.

Julie Kelly’s article up at American Greatness goes into a lot of details about this new plan to hunt down white people as terrorists for disagreeing with the Democrat Party platform.

The Jewish Attorney General has basically said that anyone who disagrees with any government policy is effectively a domestic terrorist.

This is all happening under the Patriot Act, which means that they are moving directly towards being “legally” allowed to treat American right-wingers exactly as they treat members of alleged “foreign terrorist groups.”

It’s hard to describe how totally out of control this all is, but it is obviously something we foresaw here at the Stormer long before Joe Biden ever took office. It’s hardly some grand surprise.

The first thing it means is that they will start just sending FBI agents to people’s houses. They will start knocking on tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of doors and just harassing people. Remember: no matter what, do not ever talk to them.

Watch this video again.

(Here’s the direct link to share with everyone.)

You’re not going to talk your way out of anything, and basically anything you say to them at all can be used to rope you into some kind of thing where you’re either facing going to prison or becoming an informant (to then go to prison at a later date -see above).

As always: the number one thing you can do is get out of the city, get involved in a local community. Be a useful person, be helpful, and you can gain respect and status in a local rural community or small town in a year’s time. Don’t go on rants about Jews. Don’t act weird. Talk to people at whatever level they are at and don’t try to convince them of anything. They already agree with you 95% anyway. Just focus on being helpful and normal.

DO NOT join some right-wing group. All of these groups are a wet dream for the feds. Anyone who tells you joining a group is anything other than retarded is either a retard or thinks you’re a retard and is maliciously trying to exploit you.

People ask me about existing groups and my answer to all of them is “nope, nope, nope.” These groups should be encouraged to disband. If someone does one of these marches – I don’t care if they’re run by the feds or not. The point is, if they were run by the feds, this is exactly what they would be doing. So, you can do the math yourself.

I’m really done talking about these groups. You notice I don’t comment on the latest media stories of these groups. I’ve decided to let retards go be retarded. But it’s worth reiterating the position for anyone who might be new here, and might just be learning the ropes.

Understand: you can be put in prison for simply being a member of one of these groups. They have all kinds of laws to do this, from conspiracy, to the KKK laws, to RICO. That was all before this new push by the feds to basically declare all normal white people as de facto terrorists.

If you’re confused by any of this, then just do what I’m telling you to do. Just trust me. Get out of the city, go be a good American, be prepared for things to keep getting weirder for about a decade, at which point, you’ll be introduced to a new weird which will be much less gay and retarded.

When this tranny-Jew-vaxer-feminine-faggot shit is finally over, and the road wars begin, it will be a lovely day.
