Covert Cadre: What I saw leading up to the US Capitol attack

The deadly riot at the US Capitol bore the markings of an organized operation planned well in advance of the January 6 joint session of Congress.

A small number of cadre used the cover of a huge rally to stage its attack. Before it began, I saw from my vantage point on the West Front of the Capitol, what appeared to be four separate cells or units:

  1. Plainclothes militants. Militant, aggressive men in Trump and MAGA gear at a front police line at the base of the temporary presidential inaugural platform;
  2. Agents-provocateurs. Scattered groups of men exhorting the marchers to gather closely and tightly toward the center of the outside of the Capitol building and prevent them from leaving;
  3. Fake Trump protesters. A few young men wearing Trump or MAGA hats backwards and who did not fit in with the rest of the crowd in terms of their actions and demeanor, whom I presumed to be Antifa or other leftist agitators; and
  4. Disciplined, uniformed column of attackers. A column of organized, disciplined men, wearing similar but not identical camouflage uniforms and black gear, some with helmets and GoPro cameras or wearing subdued Punisher skull patches.

All of these cells or groups stood out from the very large crowd by their behavior and overall demeanor. However, they did not all appear at the same time. Not until the very end did it become apparent there was a prearranged plan to storm the Capitol building, and to manipulate the unsuspecting crowd as cover and as a follow-on force.

  1. Since I was present on January 6th, 2021 at the rally from approximately 0930 to 1630, I cannot agree more with this man’s account of the activities that he has so clearly presented in his report. I realized early that morning that the rally was being infiltrated by trouble making activists. There is no doubt that as indicated in the above article this was the case. In fact, the next morning I wrote a smaller version of the same observation and forwarded it to Andy Harris and my email list.

    In the end these infiltrators were the cause of many innocent attendees “going over the line” and have made President Trump and his true supporters and patriots look bad. It is still impacting the rhetoric coming out of the Democrats’ mantra and the left to the detriment of freedom and law abiding participants.
