Not only the shameful and deadly fiasco in the Capitol building on January 6, but the merciless parade of arson, defacement, and slaughter that tore through our cities in the summer of 2020: these are like the first thunderclouds that pass over the air before a storm. If the storm comes, it will be the ruin of us all.
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.

In videos posted to social media by the group, “Nurses Against Lockdowns” the women are seen addressing the crowd at the “Global Frontline Nurses” summit in Washington DC, an event that was scheduled to take place in front of the U.S. Supreme Court just hours before a group of rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol building, breaking windows and tearing through the offices of elected officials.

Senior law enforcement officials have said that the NYPD and FBI informed Capitol Police of the possibility of violence before the deadly riot in Washington DC took place, NBC News reports.
“Prior to this event, the FBI obtained credible and actionable information about individuals who were planning on traveling to the protests who expressed a desire to engage in violence,” said the official. “The FBI was able to discourage those individuals from traveling to D.C.”
NYPD also sent out information to police departments across the country, including Capitol Police, describing threats made online leading up to Jan 6.
The report contradicts previous claims by FBI officials earlier this week that they had no expectations of a violent riot occurring at the Capitol.
