So I've decided against uploading the videos out of an abundance of caution. I do have several stills of some of the events I referenced, though I'm holding onto those as well. Even though I never went inside the building, I'm hearing stories of people now under investigation for simply being present. The ravenous liberal tyrants have simply tossed all reason aside.

I will keep fighting the good fight, but in a way that doesn't unnecessarily put me and my family at risk.

"Pray NOW - this is not a drill." - Good advice for any situation, actually.

The speaker (not sure who it is, but I assume it's Mike Adams) claims he now has information that there will be some real fireworks happening over the next 48 hours (Jan.19-20) but that some things have to happen in order for America to survive. He claims that the path ahead is almost unbelievable, and that it will take faith.

I'm still listening, but felt the above quote is most likely the most succinct tl;dr.

What is this in reference to? Who's being a pussy about what?

I am making the argument that nobody rioted, nobody was armed, nobody that I could see was causing any trouble. Did you misunderstand what I was saying, or perhaps mean to reply to a different post?

I will. On the one hand, I want to scrub the videos of my own voice and anything that can be used to identify me or the people I was with. But one the other, I understand how important it is for people to see it for themselves.

On a third, mutated hand, I think I'm cynical that sharing the video would do any good at all. There are already hundreds of videos out there, I'm sure -- I can't be the only one who recorded as much as possible. And I am so 100% convinced that it was all a setup by some very bad people that I almost fear what could happen if I were somehow targeted. And as my first edit states, I am somewhat traumatized by seeing things yesterday I didn't speak of in my post.

But even as I type these words, I'm realizing that I really don't have much of a choice - that I have a moral imperative to share what I have... I'll try to remove that which could identify me, but regardless, I'll release it. Give me a bit and I'll see what I can do.

Anyone have any suggestions on free, decent video editing tools that I can use to slice up digital videos, and modify the sound / disguise voices at various points in the audio?

I don't know the details - I wasn't inside. I'm re-telling what was told to me by someone who was inside. And remember, it was a traumatic experience. People tend to become very confused when recounting trauma as the brain naturally tries to suppress the memories.

I don't care if anyone believes me, nor is it my job to convince anyone, nor do I claim to be flawless in my own memory of events. If you expect perfection, humanity is not for you.

How would you have responded?

I don't know how many of you were actually there, but no one broke into or stormed the Capitol building. Very early on, as the first few of the massive sea of people began arriving at the Capitol building from where President Trump gave his address, I watched as a door on the right-hand side of the building (when you're facing it from the front) opened up and a police officer stepped out to invite a group of 20 or so to come inside. One of several people who came running back out minutes later told us what had happened:

He told me that some LE officials (he couldn't tell if they were Capitol police, federal LE, private security, or what) escorted them along the corridors toward the House chambers. They were told they would be allowed to come inside and watch the proceedings when a white male, dressed exactly like pantifa but wearing a Trump hat, started punching and kicking the interior windows. Several other questionable-looking "Trump supporters" joined in, and that the officers made absolutely no move to stop it. They were just standing by as though they had been ordered to let a pack of savages destroy the building.

The guy relaying this to us said the majority of the group - none of whom had any desire to break shit and riot - felt like something was seriously wrong and started retreating back toward the door through which they were invited in. Just as they were about to turn the corner, he said he looked back at the officers - who were still just standing there, letting the crazy assholes tear the place up - when he saw two muzzle flashes from inside the House chambers just before he heard two shots. They then got the hell out of there, where he told a large group of people - including me - what had happened. There were several others with him who confirmed the story.

Obviously the one of those two rounds killed Ashli Babbitt, who - like the guy who told us what happened - was invited inside, told she would be allowed in, tried to leave when it got weird, and was completely unarmed.

I discerned no deceit in the guy relating the story, nor in the others who had run out with him. They were genuinely freaked out, some were pale and trembling, and none of them looked or acted like disguised pantifa.

As for what happened outside, I can share that experience first-hand. I was standing about 30 yards from the front barricades of the Capitol building itself, towards the right-hand side, just to the left of a large wooden platform covered the concrete walkway, which was about five steps up and back down. We were 100% peaceful and minding our own business when officers started firing tear gas canisters and throwing flash-bangs directly into the crowd from the lower balcony of the building.

Old ladies, small children, handicapped - there were a LOT of innocent, vulnerable, law-abiding people up closer than I was who came streaming back towards us, faces red, snot pouring from their noses, and their eyes swollen shut.

I have video that covers a twelve-minute span from when everything was fine to the first rounds of attack, proving that we were assaulted and provoked. Where most people (pantifa, others) generally run when pepper balls start flying through the tear gas, we held our ground. It wasn't until the third round of gas that hundreds of people finally rushed forward, tearing away security barriers and climbing up the structure to overwhelmed the police who were attacking us.

I have always supported law enforcement, and attended my share of Back the Blue rallies. But the cowards who attacked us yesterday have absolutely no business carrying a badge. They NEVER gave us an order us to disperse. There was no warning, no declaration of an unlawful assembly, or ANYTHING else to indicate anything was amiss. We were just fine one minute, and the next we were under attack.

It was not until after a sustained assault that anyone took action, and only that which was required to stop the assault. Lacking weapons of any kind - no sticks, rocks, or anything other kind of improvised ammunition - those up front overran our attackers, forcing them to retreat back into the building. Even in our righteous anger we did not riot, nor did anyone pursue the officers as they ran away.

It was not our actions that ruined the day. Whoever ordered whichever law enforcement group it was to attack us did so in order to provoke just enough of a response to justify the overwhelming show of force that was then called in last night. And whoever was beating and bashing in those windows made sure the cowards and thieves elected to represent us were given exactly the excuse they needed to do what they all wanted anyway and decide once and for all to crown Biden the fraudulent king of America.

I hope and pray you're right.

I just joined this site, and so perhaps I haven't yet seen all the same material from which you express your confidence; however, while I know we have the best person in the world on our side right now (the only one we can trust to fight for us until the end), and notwithstanding the overwhelming evidence of massive fraud and illegal, unconstitutional actions that have led the lying liberal media to proclaim Biden as the first ever candidate to hold the made-up "Office of President-Elect," -- all those things, and many others, aside: I'm super discouraged.

Despite the plethora of admissible, direct evidence - empirical and circumstantial - of fraud, nearly every court in the nation (with notable exceptions) and the SCOTUS have proven themselves as ideologues, cowards, and / or politicians in robes, failing at every turn to see justice done. In every case, the court in question has tossed / ignored / rejected the suit on procedural grounds - not one case that has been tossed was ever heard on the merits, and the merits of any given case has had nothing to do with why it was tossed.

Yet, at every turn, leftist liberal loons - with or without a viable platform - are too busy proclaiming that "96% of Trump's attempts to overturn the election have been thrown out of court" to explain anything resembling the truth, which would be what I've already mentioned, for example; or that a vast majority of cases on this matter haven't been brought by Trump's legal team; or that this isn't about "overturning" anything, but about ensuring the Peoples' will is actually honored.

And the Peoples' will was / is abundantly clear: Donald J. Trump won another Presidential term by an overwhelming & historic landslide. We were angry with the Left before. Now, we're furious. At least, I am.

Might I ask if you could point me towards that which has your confidence so high in this matter? I feel like I'm missing something, and desperately want to know that justice will be served, that truth will prevail, and that our nation will survive. Thank you.

I hope and pray you're right.
