The Myth of 1/6: Why Biden’s Commission Is Key to Uncovering the Truth
The events of January 6, 2021, are still widely debated. Many have argued that a bipartisan and impartial commission is necessary to fully understand what transpired, rather than relying on partisan narratives. Here, we explore why a presidential commission, similar to the one established by Johnson for JFK’s assassination, is crucial for a fair and thorough investigation.
Why a Congressional Panel Lacks Credibility
There was no Congressional appointed panel to investigate the events of January 6. Instead, they waited for the FBI to complete their criminal investigation—an approach that may limit the scope and effectiveness of the findings. The FBI's role in investigating criminal activity means that their findings may be focused more on legal implications rather than providing a comprehensive historical analysis of the events.
Biden’s Blue-Ribbon Commission Proposal
President Biden, or his handlers, have been criticized for not naming a presidential commission like the one established for the John F. Kennedy assassination. The argument is that a commission appointed by the President, including blue-ribbon leaders from both parties, would provide a more balanced and thorough investigation. Such a commission could delve into the unanswered questions and the broader political context surrounding the events.
The Failed Dem Conspiracies
Those who suggest that the January 6 event was a Democrat or Antifa-sponsored riot often fall into the trap of conspiracy theories. The narrative that the House will find Trump and Republicans at fault without a comprehensive investigation is misleading. The facts on the ground, such as the lack of armed insurrection and the strange circumstances surrounding some deaths, suggest a need for a more nuanced and independent inquiry.
Key Questions Unanswered
Many critical questions remain unanswered, despite the FBI’s involvement. The lack of weapons seized from the arrested insurgents, the unexplained death of an unarmed veteran, and the mysterious identity of the Capitol policeman who shot her all point to a need for a thorough investigation. Furthermore, the FBI testimony about knowing about white supremacists before the event and the delays in seeking national guard help are significant points that require more scrutiny.
The Importance of a Presidential Commission
A presidential commission would bring together respected and disinterested leaders to conduct a thorough investigation, free from political pressure. Key questions, such as who allowed individuals past the restricted barriers and why, need to be answered. Similarly, the decision-making process behind the capitol police’s requests for help and the refusal to do so must be transparently examined.
The Dem[N]ocratic Dilemma
The failure of the left to provide credible answers to the public suggests a desperate need for an independent investigation. The fear among Democrats of Trump's potential return to office drives their desire to maintain control over the narrative. This points to a broader issue of political integrity and the willingness to admit and address past failures.
Conclusion
The events of January 6 require a thorough and independent investigation to uncover the truth. A presidential commission, similar to the one established after JFK’s assassination, can provide the necessary balance and credibility. It is essential to address the unanswered questions and the broader political context to maintain the integrity of our democratic processes.
