18 arresting moments in Storm at the Capitol

I frequently reacted out loud while reading Mary Clare Jalonick’s oral history of January 6th. Here’s a (partial) list of reasons why.

What emboldened these people was not just gathering in numbers and terrorizing anyone in their path but also that Mayor Ted Wheeler and the Portland police did so little to hinder in any way these premeditated acts of terrorism. In fact, the city and the various federal law enforcement outfits that aid them failed so miserably that they essentially welcomed and encouraged the extremists to push their neo-fascism to a grander scale. During a 2019 rally by these out-of-state purveyors of terror Mayor Wheeler and the Portland police even inexplicably choose to close down an entire bridge so that the violent interlopers might traverse the city more triumphantly and pose for photo ops.

"This was a top political priority of President Trump's and [he] was very clear about that," said Marty Obst, a longtime Republican political consultant in Indiana, who led the redistricting push. "And the bottom line is there's consequences and accountability to those actions."

I urge you to watch this video if you can. It concerns the question of whether (or not) the United States Capitol was attacked on January 6. The answers are beyond belief.

And what role have toxic lies about white supremacy, white superiority, inferiority of racial minorities, played in your choice of a "belief system"? What role has unmerited privilege due to your complexion played in your choice of a "belief system"? And what confluence of New Age nonsense and distorted white Christian nationalism comes together in your belief system?

I find that a difficult task to undertake. Smith and Cook tell viewers that what's at stake here are different "belief systems." Well have our belief systems, and we need to understand the belief systems of others.

The question I want to raise here: What happens when your belief system departs from reality, facts, truth — and you want to impose it on me? How far should my sympathies extend then?

"And she’s completely vindicated. Because she had her case on appeal, when her pardon [from Donald Trump] came down, [the conviction was completely wiped from her record]. It wasn’t rewriting history for Yvonne, it was erasing history – as if it never happened. Yvonne feels more sure of her power than ever."

Smith and Cook encourage viewers to "understand" and cultivate sympathy for these women.

"She sees that as part of her sacrifice for her godly mission, essentially. When she [was waiting to go to prison to serve her sentence for her January 6 conviction], she kept denying it would happen. But then, when it did happen, it was because ‘the spirit wanted to place her there so that she would find a new soul’. Everything Yvonne did was to stand for the truth till the last breath."

An example—former Marine drill instructor Yvonne St Cyr:

"Yvonne [believes herself to be] a ‘divine sovereign citizen’ and that playing into the system is keeping her a complacent slave – and so she stopped paying her mortgage and quit her job. She ended up living in a camp trailer in the middle of a field in Idaho where, in the winter, her pipes and the trailer would burst, and she had no water."

Liz Smith and writer Noelle Cook discuss their documentary about Trump-supporting (white) women, The Conspiracists. As it tells the stories of women who took part in the January 6 insurrection attempt, it focuses on "this mix between conspiracism and New Age spirituality: ‘conspirituality.’"
