This publication has a history of calling out disinformation and lies from one of the USA’s biggest think tanks: the center-left Brookings Institution and in particular its affiliated “Lawfare” Institute.

Apparently, the center left pundits there are still hallucinating about violence on January 6, 2021, when Trump supporters protested all the ways that the Democratic Party has weakened America’s voting & election systems in ways both real (eradicating the secret ballot through mail-in voting) and also their own rightwing hallucinations (hacked election systems).

America’s progressive left continues to try to label the January 6 protestors’ actions a so-called “insurrection” despite the fact that those protestors are a bunch of gun rights 2nd Amendment supporters who did not bring any…ZERO…firearms to their protest.

America’s progressive left is under such deep hallucination about the equally hallucinatory rightwing January 6 protests that perhaps the most important center left think tank in the nation’s capital city of Washington D.C., the Brookings Institution, to this day continues to repeat disinformation lies about the January 6 protests.

“After January 6, some pundits were confused. How could a group of people who claim to Back the Blue also kill and maim law enforcement officers?” Jessica Pishko, Lawfare Institute guest

Too many supposed peacemakers hide their reliance on the violence of police enforcement even from themselves. Violence is physical, not verbal. Humanity has a duty to envision new ways to prevent violence (government or not) & solve other problems voluntarily without coercion.
