   Despite the media's disparate treatment, the most recent 'insurrection'   
   mirrors the January one. Which Democrat is going to call for an Oct. 14   
   Commission?   
      
      
      
   Images of the insurrection are hard to stomach. Who did these lawless   
   rogues think they were to launch an attack on the federal government?   
   Taser barbs flew as demonstrators tried to batter their way past police   
   lines, with law enforcers suffering injuries to the point of requiring   
   hospitalization. Chants and obscenities rose from the mob of radicals   
   trying to send a message in the form of infiltrating our esteemed   
   government quarters with physical force. Some activists vandalized a   
   building, while others pinned police against a wall. This rebellion   
   against authority was nothing short of sedition.   
      
   Oh, you thought I was talking about this image, where pro-Trump   
   demonstrator Ashli Babbitt attempted to force her way into where police   
   were holding the line?   
      
      
      
   I was actually talking about this scene, where a radical activist appears   
   to try the same thing at a different federal building, even shouting   
   “Let’s go!” for other demonstrators to follow her.   
      
      
      
   Can you spot the difference?   
      
   Oct. 14 ‘Insurrection’   
      
   I’m talking about the rowdy protest outside the Department of the Interior   
   on Thursday that turned violent as climate activists stormed the entrance   
   — the Oct. 14 insurrection.   
      
   These climate activists staged a sit-in within the Interior Department,   
   with demonstrators who were left outside struggling with law enforcement   
   officers as they reportedly tried to force their way in, shouting “Go   
   inside! Go inside!” The ordeal resulted in a number of injuries, according   
   to multiple sources.   
      
   “Multiple injuries were sustained by security personnel, and one officer   
   has been transported to a nearby hospital. Medics representing both the   
   Department and the protesters were present,” Interior Department   
   spokeswoman Melissa Schwartz said in a statement. “It is also our   
   obligation to keep everyone safe. We will continue to do everything we can   
   to de-escalate the situation while honoring first amendment rights.”   
      
   Jennifer K. Falcon, who according to her Twitter bio does communications   
   for the Indigenous Environmental Network, tweeted updates of what occurred   
   inside the building, which was infiltrated by a large group of activists   
   (whom Falcon referred to as “water protectors”), more than 50 of whom were   
   arrested and removed.

   “Update: first round of arrestees are out. Still two rounds left.   
   #occupybia #expectus,” activist Falcon tweeted after noting that 55   
   activists had already been removed from the building.   
      
   Meanwhile, a mob of angry activists outside battled police and continued   
   their attack on the federal building.   
      
   Think Back   
   Amid this unrest, it’s hard not to think about another attack on a   
   government building this year, this one back in January, where a group of   
   mostly right-wing rioters forced their way into the U.S. Capitol over   
   election integrity. During that riot — which the left including corporate   
   media described an “insurrection” and Joe Biden said “borders on   
   sedition,” which is why I’ve applied that standard here — Democrat leaders   
   and pundits immediately flooded Twitter and the airwaves with condemnation   
   of violent activism. An attack on the federal government is a threat to   
   democracy, they cried during the attack and then every day since — until   
   this week.   
      
   A quick look at Twitter trends on Friday afternoon shows “Capitol Police”   
   trending near the bottom of the list — but only because of something   
   related to Jan. 6. Not a peep about the climate extremists busting their   
   way into a major government building.   
      
   The Washington Post’s little write-up characterized it as “clashes,” with   
   the paper’s anodyne tweet saying “activists ‘occupy’ Interior Department”   
   with some of them “entering the building and holding a sit-in,” the same   
   blasé word The Hill used. Something tells me CNN and MSNBC won’t be giving   
   this forceful entry quite the same wall-to-wall coverage as the Jan 6.   
   riot, if they cover it at all.   
      
   That’s because when Democrats and the media pontificate about political   
   violence and “attacks on our democracy,” they aren’t talking about all   
   political violence or all attacks on our government. They’re only talking   
   about the ones they can use to smear Republicans and boost their   
   narrative.   
      
   Remember when then-President Donald Trump was excoriated in the media for   
   not condemning the Capitol riot quickly enough? (And then remember how Big   
   Tech nuked him from their sites after he called on demonstrators to be   
   peaceful and go home? — a message those demonstrators never got because   
   the sitting president was muzzled by tech oligarchs.) Well, where are   
   President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris now that these left-   
   wing activists are attacking the federal government? And why isn’t anyone   
   in the corporate media calling on them to denounce this violence clearly   
   and swiftly?   
      
   We know why, which brings us back to the two pictures. There is no   
   difference between them. The photos both depict young women, revved up   
   about perceived political injustice, taking things a step too far in going   
   after those they decided to hold responsible.   
      
   The only disparity is how they’ll be treated. One was shot, while the   
   other walked away. One was blasted by the press, and one won’t ever make   
   the news. The first led to the media complex berating an entire side of   
   the political aisle for a violent insurrection and to Big Tech censoring   
   swaths of dissidents for deadly misinformation, while the second will just   
   be one of the nameless activists who hosted a sit-in barely worth   
   mentioning.   
      
   Despite the media’s disparate treatment, the facts show that the most   
   recent “insurrection” mirrors the January one. Which Democrat is going to   
   call for an Oct. 14 Commission?
