The tapes are coming again. After the firing of Tucker Carlson by Fox News, the lone journalist who had access to the January 6 tapes no longer had a venue to report on more than he initially did. Now, House Republicans are releasing the tapes to more journalists.
This is good news, but there’s a huge asterisk that must be addressed. We weren’t promised a filtered view of the January 6 tapes through elite journalists. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said he would release all of the tapes to the public. That hasn’t happened, and unless something changes soon it appears it’s never going to happen.
Two of the journalists selected to receive the tapes are superb. It doesn’t get much better than John Solomon from Just The News and Julie Kelly from American Greatness when it comes to releasing such important information. A third unnamed journalist is also getting the tapes. Since they’re unnamed, we can assume that it’s either a news outlet that still hasn’t decided who’s going to take the lead on the project or it’s a leftist corporate media hack. We’ll know soon enough.
But letting journalists see the tapes and telling us what they found is a far cry from the huge potential benefits of releasing the tapes to the public. Unleashing the power of American patriots to find and disseminate useful information would be exponentially more powerful. We will get some truths from the journalists with access, but it’s impossible for them to find it all regardless of how big their teams are.
On a side note, it’s telling that Congresswoman Greene was selected to deliver the good but not great news. Ever since the GOP won a majority in the House, Greene has been in lockstep with McCarthy. What’s going on with that?
Here are the details of the release from Harold Hutchison from Daily Caller News Foundation:
Marjorie Taylor Greene Announces Release of Jan. 6 Tapes to More Outlets: ‘Unfettered Access’
Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia announced Wednesday that the tapes showing the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol building would be released to more journalists.
John Solomon of JustTheNews.com, Julie Kelly of American Greatness and an unnamed outlet will receive “unfettered access” to the over 41,000 hours of video footage of the Capitol riot, the Georgia congresswoman posted on Twitter.
Huge news: As I promised the J6 tapes will be released. @SpeakerMcCarthy will give @jsolomonReports, @Julie_kelly2, and a third outlet unfettered access to the J6 tapes.
Their reporting on it starts tomorrow!

“As I promised the J6 tapes will be released. @SpeakerMcCarthy will give @jsolomonReports, @Julie_kelly2, and a third outlet unfettered access to the J6 tapes,” Greene tweeted. “Their reporting on it starts tomorrow!”
Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, the Speaker of the House, previously provided then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a co-founder of the Daily Caller and Daily Caller News Foundation, access to the tapes, Axios reported. Previous reports indicated that the amount of footage was 14,000 hours.
On March 6, Carlson aired video of the riot that showed Capitol Police officers escorting one protestor, the “QAnon shaman,” through the halls of the building. Carlson also showed video of Republican Sen. John Hawley of Missouri being escorted with other members of Congress from the Capitol, saying the Jan. 6 Committee selectively edited it to target Hawley.
Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York attacked Carlson for airing the footage and demanded that Fox News prevent Carlson from airing more footage. Fox News announced Carlson’s departure April 24.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that fiat currencies across the globe, including the U.S. Dollar, are under attack. Paper money is losing its value, translating into insane inflation and less value in our life’s savings.
Genesis Gold Group believes physical precious metals are an amazing option for those seeking to move their wealth or retirement to higher ground. Whether Central Bank Digital Currencies replace current fiat currencies or not, precious metals are poised to retain or even increase in value. This is why central banks and mega-asset managers like BlackRock are moving much of their holdings to precious metals.
As a Christian company, Genesis Gold Group has maintained a perfect 5 out of 5 rating with the Better Business Bureau. Their faith-driven values allow them to help Americans protect their life’s savings without the gimmicks used by most precious metals companies.

It’s not quite so cut and dry. In a perfect world, sure release them. Americans will not be the only ones looking at the tapes though. 1950 is calling, and asking if you’d like to stay stuck in an ideological time capsule, pursuing a reality which no longer exists, or perhaps try joining the modern world in real time. I think it’s good for there to be a limited release of mass footage to only some trusted people. Because the alternative is akin similar to having the white houses entire security camera system set to an online anyone can view any time state. People would abuse the privilege. January sixth makes for a convenient new narrative to keep people distracted from all the criminal activities happening within our government.
Those protestors played with fire and got burned. There are more effective and responsible ways to call for government transparency than being part of some giant out of control gathering at a government building. In the future, please leave the zealotry and emotional reaction duty to the low IQ crowd. I don’t care what the circumstances are or what the state of the world is, you won’t find me voluntarily cruising up to government buildings voluntarily or just for kicks or to hold a protest sign or whatever.
In this installment of the ever so popular series; Ten thousand ways to die. The surfs got duped! Adventures of the people whom just started paying attention to their own government. They’ve been stealing the vote for a very very long time. The mechanisms for fair voting have been restructured so many times over time, they no longer represent the original frame work of republic voting the founding fathers intended. Delegates, so easy to bend. Federalism, so misunderstood. The federal government, always growing. Votes, handed out like candy. The count, never quite accurate. People actually think they count every vote, that’s rich. Think estimated by sampling size. What happened to the president and vice president being voted for separately, just for starters.
Anyone whom thought the systems we have today are reliable in the first place, well, they’re easy to coral into dangerous places. Like the capital steps in one of the most controversial political events in modern history. For those whom could not see what happened coming a mile down the tracks, they were blind. People are not aware of cell phone tracking technology yet, or the ability to reframe popular issues with contrived media propaganda narratives? The problem with activists today, they think they have to do something, they are compelled to pick a side and form an opinion immediately regarding every topic and every current event. They think holding those signs up actually matters. Bless their tiny hearts, and tinier brains. Curiosity killed the cat. Patience is a virtue. There is no greater objection than absence. Politicians will literally never save the world, appealing to them is a fools errand. Ron Paul; Ideas are the only things that matter, politicians are for the most part, pretty much irrelevant. Ideas are bulletproof. Having another John Patrick Henry moment here; I know not what my countrymen are doing, but for me…
