The DC riot and the execution of Ashli Babbitt

Woman Killed in Capitol Embraced Trump and QAnon

After 14 years in the military, Ashli Babbitt bought a pool supply company and delved into far-right politics.

Ashli Babbitt had been preparing for this day, the day when world events would turn her way. When a discouraged friend on Twitter asked last week, “When do we start winning?” Ms. Babbitt had an answer: “Jan 6, 2021.”

Her name will now be connected to that date, and to shaky footage showing a crowd of rioters smashing glass on the door leading to the Speaker’s Lobby of the Capitol.

At the front of that crowd is the small figure of Ms. Babbitt, wearing snow boots, jeans, and a Trump flag wrapped around her neck like a cape.

“Go! Go!” she shouts, and then two men hoist her up to the rim of a broken window. As she sticks her head through the frame, a Capitol Police officer in plain clothes fires a shot, and she falls back into the crowd. Blood starts pouring from her mouth.

A day after Ms. Babbitt’s death, as part of a mob storming the Capitol amid counting of Electoral College votes, a portrait of her is taking shape.

THE RIOTERS
The mob that rampaged the halls of Congress included infamous white supremacists and conspiracy theorists.

Ms. Babbitt had left the Air Force after two wars and 14 years, settling near the working-class San Diego suburb where she was raised. Life after the military was not easy. After briefly working security at a nuclear power plant, she was struggling to keep a pool-supply company afloat.

As a civilian, she found herself newly free to express her political views. Her social media feed was a torrent of messages celebrating President Trump; QAnon conspiracy theories; and tirades against immigration, drugs and Democratic leaders in California.

“You guys refuse, refuse to choose America over your stupid political party, I am so tired of it,” she said in a video message posted on Twitter, addressing California politicians. “You can consider yourself put on notice. Me and the American people. I am so tired of it, I am woke, man, this is absolutely unbelievable.”

The people close to Ms. Babbitt have all responded with shock. Her husband, Aaron Babbitt, 39, told a Fox affiliate in San Diego that he had sent his wife a message about 30 minutes before the shooting, and she never responded.

Her brother, Roger Witthoeft, 32, said Ms. Babbitt had not told her family that she was planning to go to Washington. But he was not surprised that she would protest.

“My sister was 35 and served 14 years — to me that’s the majority of your conscious adult life,” said Mr. Witthoeft, of Lakeside, Calif. “If you feel like you gave the majority of your life to your country and you’re not being listened to, that is a hard pill to swallow. That’s why she was upset.”

Ms. Babbitt, who had four younger brothers, was raised in a mostly apolitical household, Mr. Witthoeft said. Their father worked in commercial flooring and their mother in a school program. Ms. Babbitt enlisted in the Air Force after finishing high school.

While on active duty from 2004 to 2008, she met and married her first husband, Timothy McEntee. She worked as an enlisted security forces controller, a job whose duties include guarding gates at Air Force bases, and was deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq.

She then served in the Air Force Reserves and the Air National Guard. In the Guard, she was assigned to a unit based near Washington that is known as the “Capital Guardians,” because one of their primary missions is defending the city. Security forces in the squadron regularly train with riot shields and clubs for what the Air Force calls “civil disturbance missions.” She was deployed twice more, to the United Arab Emirates in 2012 and 2014, according to an Air Force spokeswoman.

Ms. Babbitt left the military as a relatively low-ranking senior airman in 2016, several years before she would have become eligible for a pension and other benefits.

By then, she had found another source of income, working in security at Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Plant in Maryland. She was employed there from 2015 to 2017, according to a representative for Exelon, the energy company that runs the plant.

It was there that she met Mr. Babbitt, who had been employed at the facility since 2007 and left in 2017, the representative said. The two moved back to her native California. She filed for divorce from Mr. McEntee in 2018.

The transition was not entirely smooth. In 2016, Mr. Babbitt’s former girlfriend applied to a court for a protection order, telling the court that Ms. Babbitt, then known as Ashli McEntee, had approached her on a roadway and had rear-ended her car three times.

“She was screaming at me and verbally threatening,” the complaint says. The court granted a protection order. The following year, the former girlfriend again applied for a protection order, which the court granted.

Shortly after that, Ms. Babbitt relocated to California, where she helped purchase Fowlers Pool Service and Supply, a company where her brother, Mr. Witthoeft, said he had worked.

Capitol Riot Fallout

From Riot to Impeachment

The riot inside the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, Jan. 6, followed a rally at which President Trump made an inflammatory speech to his supporters, questioning the results of the election. Here’s a look at what happened and the ongoing fallout:

“We all worked together as a family — my other little brother, me, her husband, me, my uncle,” Mr. Witthoeft said. “It was kind of nice, a family affair.”

Ms. Babbitt appeared to struggle in business. In 2017 she took out a costly short-term business loan. In effect, it meant her pool business would have to pay an interest rate that she later calculated in court filings to be 169 percent.

Within days of signing the loan agreement, she stopped making payments, only repaying about $3,400 of the $65,000 borrowed from the lender, EBF Partners, records show. The lender soon sued her.

Ms. Babbitt’s politics were emphatically pro-Trump. On the door of the pool-supply company, a poster declares it to be a “mask free autonomous zone, better known as America,” where “we shake hands like men, fist bump like homies.”

Leaving the military had freed her to participate in politics, something she savored, her brother said.

“That was one of her things — for the first time in her life, she could actually say what she wanted to say, and didn’t have to bottle it up,” he said. She was frustrated, he said, with the number of homeless people in San Diego, and the difficulty of running a small business.

“My sister was a normal Californian,” he said. “The issues she was mad about were the things all of us are mad about.”

Her social media accounts suggest that she also, increasingly, embraced the conspiratorial thinking of QAnon, which has asserted that the 2020 presidential election was stolen by an elite Satan-worshiping cabal, and that it was up to ordinary people to reinstate Mr. Trump.

She retweeted a post that promised a violent uprising that would lead to Mr. Trump’s second inauguration.

“Nothing will stop us,” she wrote on Twitter the day before her death. “They can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours …. dark to light!”

Her brother said she was passionate about Mr. Trump’s cause, and believed she was standing up for the American people.

“I know it mattered to her a lot at the end of her life,” he said. “It mattered so much that she died for it.”

THE BEST OF THE BEST: Diversity Hire Cop David Bailey Who Murdered ...

 REDPILLED  JANUARY 12, 2021  1 COMMENTON THE BEST OF THE BEST: DIVERSITY HIRE COP DAVID BAILEY WHO MURDERED ASHLI BABBITT WAS HIRED WITH A SOLE BACHELOR’S DEGREE IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION — HE RAKES IN OVER $120K A YEAR!

Affirmative action at its finest.

Today, REDPILLED Media exclusively identified the US Capitol Police officer who shot dead 14-year high-ranking Air Force veteran and patriotic Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt. The media refused to report his name or his long history involved in shooting Trump supporters. We brought you the news.

Hours later, we discovered through careful research that the murderer, David Bailey, threatened to kill Trump supporters repeatedly leading up to the presidential election on Facebook. The FBI was nowhere to be found.

Now, REDPILLED Media can exclusively reveal that the savage killer is an obvious Affirmative Action hire — assigned as a US Capitol Special Agent while only holding a Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Education.

North Carolina Central University proudly trumpets alumnus Bailey as one of their ‘Forty Under Forty’ on both their Facebook page and their official website.



Shockingly, Bailey is projected to rake in over $120K per year for his work as a glorified security guard.

But does he really deserve this kind of money? What are his contributions to society?

In 2017, due to his sheer incompetence, a crazed leftist gunman was allowed to open fire on congressional Republicans at a baseball practice in Virginia. Steve Scalise nearly died.

Now, in 2021, Bailey brutally executed an innocent veteran then gleefully bragged about it on Facebook minutes after the slaughter, saying she deserved it because she was a Trump supporter.


People like this should not be allowed to carry weapons in public while the rest of us are disarmed.

This sick man should be locked up for a very long time, but at the very least, now that his name has been publicly released (which up until this point has been illegally withheld), he must be indefinitely suspended from the force immediately — before any more Trump supporters are violently shot and killed with their blood on his hands.

False flag confirmed

 At least partially, anyhow, as one arrested "MAGA protester" turns out to be BLM:

The FBI has arrested #BlackLivesMatter self-described anti-fascist John Sullivan for leading the charge during the insurrection at the Capitol. Sullivan goaded the first casualty of the event to climb through a window just before she was killed.

The FBI alleged that moments before breaching the Capitol's security John Sullivan told a crowd of disguised counter-protesters, "we about to burn this s--- down, we got to rip Trump out of office, f---ing pull him out of that s---, we ain't waiting until the next election... we about to go get that mother----, it is time for a revolution." 

Shortly afterward Sullivan could be heard goading Ashli Babbitt to jump through a window as he filmed her being shot and killed by law enforcement.

Not everything you think you see is real.

Antifa-Insurgence leader John Earl Sullivan is in custody after being arrested in Utah on Thursday.

Brother of Arrested Antifa-BLM Activist John Sullivan Turned Him In! — Says His Brother Was “Somehow in Charge” of US Capitol Riots (VIDEO)
By Jim Hoft
Published January 15, 2021 at 5:41pm

As reported previously Antifa protester John Sullivan was caught on video posing as a Trump supporter during the rioting at the US Capitol last week.

Footage obtained by the Gateway Pundit from militant Black Lives Matter and Antifa activist John Sullivan’s Discord server shows the so-called “civil rights activist” reveling inside the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6 as he damaged federal property.

TRENDING: HUGE! Brother of Arrested Antifa-BLM Activist John Sullivan Turned Him In! -- Says His Brother Was "Somehow in Charge" of US Capitol Riots (VIDEO)

Sullivan has maintained in multiple interviews that he regularly attends protests only to record what’s going on, but did not actively partake in the insurgence in Washington. This is a lie. He is a leader of the Utah Antifa-BLM movement and has been previously arrested.

“It’s just recording, solely, and not being active in it,” he told Fox News last week.

Sullivan also organized an Antifa-Insurgence rally on January 6th at the Washingotn Monument at 11 AM before they stormed the US Capitol.
The mainstream media refuses to report these facts.

John Sullivan’s brother contacted the FBI and turned his brother in.

James Sullivan turned in tips on his brother to the FBI.

James told the FBI he believed his brother was not only involved in the riots at the US Capitol but somehow was in charge.
James Sullivan: “He was going in there to document but he was also part of the Antifa groups.

Interesting but about Sullivan's adoptive Father. He has been painted a great career serviceman.

The Family uses to live in West Virginia. Very rich neighborhood. Then they moved to long Island, even Richer area. And very liberal. So nothing to see here.

Lots of us watching just thought John Sullivan had been radicalised and had gone off the deep end. But maybe it was just there all the time. Liberals do what liberals do.

Here's Sullivan also on Anderson Cooper segment the night of 6th Jan, alongside Sullivan's CNN chum.

https://twitter.com/JGray1221/status/1349886911779905536/photo/1

Note the name of Sullivan's organisation "Insurgence".  So a guy who runs an insurgency organisation is accompanied by the Clinton News Network to ensure the fracas he helped incite is classed as an insurgency.

My prediction is that if the DemoKKKrats are able to stop Trump from being able to run for POTUS in future, this even will be re-framed as "We the Left used violence to stop Orange Hitler".

black BLM/Antifa Sullivan went into the Capitol building WITH a CNN journalist, her triumphantly saying "We did it!"

He'd also previously been lionized by Anderson Cooper on CNN. 

Oh and here's his adopted father.

I've no doubt at all that the Deep State/DemoKKKrats orchestrated the violence in the Capitol building.  The took Hitler burning down the Reichstag and applied it to USA to give RINOs an excuse not to support an election audit.

Another Violent Leftist Arrested at US Capitol Protest: Registered Democrat and 34-Year-Old Son of a New York Judge

Another violent leftist was arrested on Wednesday for partaking in the US Capitol protest turned Antifa riot.

 Aaron Mostofsky, is a registered Democrat.  He is the latest Antifa rioter who was identified at the Capitol on January 6th. 

Another radical at the Capitol last week was arrested yesterday. He is a registered Democrat:

Mr. Mostofsky is a 34 year old registered Democrat and the son of a New York Judge.  He is seen in the picture above dressed in fur, carrying a stick and wearing a bullet proof police vest he had stolen.  Mostofsky is standing beside the man who carried a Confederate flag into the event.  This indicates they possibly knew each other and both appear to be outsiders and leftist demons plotting to smear Trump supporters.

It’s unknown at this time if Mostofsky is a member of Antifa, who was clearly leading the violent activities at the Capitol.

As the days go by, the violent criminal activity at the US Capitol continues to be linked to leftist outsiders at the event.  This really comes as no surprise.

FBI knew a week before of threats of violence in relation to the events of Jan 6th.

FBI claimed until now that they didn't know. And they never shared this information with Trump.

John Sullivan/JaydenX ran a discord server.  Woman on Twitter found it and screenshotted many items leading up to Jan 6th fracas.  I'll attach my screenshots of hers (as her Twitter account may disappear).

Muslim Terrorism Count

Thousands of Deadly Islamic Terror Attacks Since 9/11

Mission Overview

Most Western societies are based on Secular Democracy, which itself is based on the concept that the open marketplace of ideas leads to the optimum government. Whilst that model has been very successful, it has defects. The 4 Freedoms address 4 of the principal vulnerabilities, and gives corrections to them. 

At the moment, one of the main actors exploiting these defects, is Islam, so this site pays particular attention to that threat.

Islam, operating at the micro and macro levels, is unstoppable by individuals, hence: "It takes a nation to protect the nation". There is not enough time to fight all its attacks, nor to read them nor even to record them. So the members of 4F try to curate a representative subset of these events.

We need to capture this information before it is removed.  The site already contains sufficient information to cover most issues, but our members add further updates when possible.

We hope that free nations will wake up to stop the threat, and force the separation of (Islamic) Church and State. This will also allow moderate Muslims to escape from their totalitarian political system.

The 4 Freedoms

These 4 freedoms are designed to close 4 vulnerabilities in Secular Democracy, by making them SP or Self-Protecting (see Hobbes's first law of nature). But Democracy also requires - in addition to the standard divisions of Executive, Legislature & Judiciary - a fourth body, Protector of the Open Society (POS), to monitor all its vulnerabilities (see also Popper). 
1. SP Freedom of Speech
Any speech is allowed - except that advocating the end of these freedoms
2. SP Freedom of Election
Any party is allowed - except one advocating the end of these freedoms
3. SP Freedom from Voter Importation
Immigration is allowed - except where that changes the political demography (this is electoral fraud)
4. SP Freedom from Debt
The Central Bank is allowed to create debt - except where that debt burden can pass across a generation (25 years).

An additional Freedom from Religion is deducible if the law is applied equally to everyone:

  • Religious and cultural activities are exempt from legal oversight except where they intrude into the public sphere (Res Publica)"
