The Case of Ray Epps, Jan 6 Insurrection’s Agent Provocateur

November 28, 2021 by 30 Comments

In a House hearing on Thursday, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) questioned AG Merrick Garland about a mysterious man, Ray Epps, instructing protesters to enter the US Capitol building on January 5, and who later shepherded crowds towards the Capitol on January 6.

.@joerogan Discussing The Curious Case Of Ray Epps & January 6th

"He did it pre-January 6th, he did it during the January 6th thing, and that this guy has faced no legal charges whatsoever, and people are like well wtf is going on here?"https://t.co/6bbWmMWKxX pic.twitter.com/IRZnXUO2yq

— The Columbia Bugle 🇺🇸 (@ColumbiaBugle) November 21, 2021

Revolver Magazine exposes the Ray Epps story, and confirms that there were Federal agent and proxies working as agent provocateurs. In videos (Joe Rogan story above), Epps is seen urging people to breach and go into the capital. Several saw through it, and yelled “Fed Fed Fed Fed !”

Revolver’s investigative reporting team can now reveal that Ray Epps appears to be among the primary orchestrators of the very first breach of the Capitol’s police barricades at 12:50pm on January 6. Epps appears to have led the “breach team” that committed the very first illegal acts on that fateful day. What’s more, Epps and his “breach team” did all their dirty work with 20 minutes still remaining in President Trump’s National Mall speech, and with the vast majority of Trump supporters still 30 minutes away from the Capitol.

Secondly, Revolver also determined that the the FBI stealthily removed Ray Epps from its Capitol Violence Most Wanted List on July 1, just one day after Revolver exposed the inexplicable and puzzlesome FBI protection of known Epps associate and Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes. July 1 was also just one day after separate New York Times report amplified a glaring, falsifiable lie about Epps’s role in the events of January 6.

Lastly, Ray Epps appears to have worked alongside several individuals — many of them suspiciously unindicted — to carry out a breach of the police barricades that induced a subsequent flood of unsuspecting MAGA protesters to unwittingly trespass on Capitol restricted grounds and place themselves in legal jeopardy.

January 8, 2021, the FBI begged the public for information regarding the identity of Suspect 16, Ray Epps, and even offered a cash reward. In less than three days, Ray Epps was identified as Suspect 16. Researchers corroborated his identity with direct evidence, including an effective confession from Epps himself to his own local newspaper. For nearly six months, amidst the biggest manhunt in American history, the FBI did nothing with this information. As the FBI did nothing on Epps, it was simultaneously investigating, arresting, raiding, and imprisoning hundreds of completely benign MAGA moms and social media trolls — mostly for minor misdemeanor trespassing charges.

Then, on July 1, between the hours of 3:37 a.m. and 5:55 p.m., the FBI finally took action on Ray Epps. But not to prosecute him, or to announce a sweeping investigation or FBI SWAT raid on Epps’s house for all of his phones and electronics. Instead, someone at the FBI quietly and stealthily purged every trace of Ray Epps from the Capitol Riots Most Wanted database.

Ray Epps was not purged because he was arrested. If Epps was arrested, the FBI Wanted List would have the caption “ARRESTED” affixed to his picture, as you can plainly see is done for all other arrested suspects in the database itself.

The searchable Justive.Gov Capitol Breach Cases database confirms there are no case dockets or filings for any “Epps” at all.

On June 30th, the New York Times published a piece entitled Inside the Capitol Riot: An Exclusive Video Investigation. This is the first of the two aforementioned June 30th publications that caused major problems for the FBI’s narrative.

The New York Times analysis purported to be “the official record” of what happened at the Capitol that day. But there were a few problems with “the official record” produced by the New York Times. For one, it told an outright lie about Ray Epps: The NYT appears to be running cover for the FBI by referencing Epps’s appearance in “widely-circulated videos” and concluding that he “seemed to have acted on his own.”

Below, we see Epps give explicit instructions, mere minutes before the very first breach of a police barricade on January 6. He gives these instructions to a still-unindicted, still “FBI Wanted” ex-Marine commando nicknamed “MaroonPB” who is antagonizing police officers with a blazing bullhorn.

After receiving instructions from Epps, MaroonPB replies, “Noted” — which, last we checked, means “stipulated”, “understood” or “agreed.” This is an explicit verbal agreement between two or more people — the opposite of the NYT’s claim that Epps “acted on his own.”

In case it wasn’t clear enough already, Epps also says “One more thing” — stipulating he gave the man a set of instructions before adding others. And those next instructions were, “When we go in, leave this here,” likely in reference to MaroonPB’s cannister of bear spray.

    The one thing you can count on in most “Americans” is their lack of a working memory longer than a few nano-seconds.

    By noon, everything that happened before 11:59 has already been forgotten, as if it never was.

    Which takes us who do have working memories back to the Church Committee (formally the United States Senate Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect to Intelligence Activities), which was a U.S. Senate select committee in 1975 that investigated abuses by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), National Security Agency (NSA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

    The most shocking revelations of the committee include Operation MKULTRA involving the drugging and torture of unwitting US citizens as part of human experimentation on mind control; COINTELPRO involving the surveillance and infiltration of American political and civil-rights organizations; Family Jewels, a CIA program to covertly assassinate foreign leaders; Operation Mockingbird as a systematic propaganda campaign with domestic and foreign journalists operating as CIA assets and dozens of US news organizations providing cover for CIA activity.

    Those of us with working memories well remember the federal government agents provacateurs infiltrated into various groups in the 60s and early 70s whose sole purpose, beyond spying, was to try and provoke the groups into committing acts of violence, to give the gummint an excuse to shut them down.

    So can anybody be surprised that they would resort to the same tactics on 6 January 2021, the day Nancy Pelosi installed Joe Biden as our next president?

    On August 17, 1975 Senator Frank Church appeared on NBC’s Meet the Press, and stated as follows:

    In the need to develop a capacity to know what potential enemies are doing, the United States government has perfected a technological capability that enables us to monitor the messages that go through the air. (…)

    Now, that is necessary and important to the United States as we look abroad at enemies or potential enemies.

    We must know, at the same time, that capability at any time could be turned around on the American people, and no American would have any privacy left: such is the capability to monitor everything—telephone conversations, telegrams, it doesn’t matter.

    There would be no place to hide.

    If this government ever became a tyranny, if a dictator ever took charge in this country, the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny, and there would be no way to fight back because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know.

    Such is the capability of this technology.

    (…)

    I don’t want to see this country ever go across the bridge.

    I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America, and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss.

    That is the abyss from which there is no return.

    end quotes

    And here we now are!

          Trump DID NOT appoint Fauci, he was stuck with Fauci just the way we, the American people, are stuck with that mouth-running fool who changes what he is saying every five minutes it seems.

          Do some studying, Tommy, so you don’t keep making a real fool out of yourself before several million people in here all over the world.

          “Dr. Anthony Fauci’s career under six US presidents”

          Updated 11:35 AM ET, Thu December 24, 2020

          Dr. Anthony Fauci, a key member of the White House’s coronavirus task force, is no stranger to leading the federal response to national health emergencies.

          Since 1984, he has been the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

          Fauci has served under six US presidents, starting with Ronald Reagan, and in 2008 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

            Trump appointed lil Fauci to ‘his’ Covid Resopnse Team in 2019/2020 when the Chinese Flu was brought to our shores by airplanes. Yes, he was part of the swamp foe decades, before Trump selected him.

    Interesting. I wound up here because I started out looking for David Folkenflik who I heard on NPR stating that Tucker Carlson lied about January 6. I wended my way through MuckRack.com, the Twitter feed by Folkenflik, something called Flux I never heard of before, and the the mosh pit of DailyKos and Alternet.

    So they may have found something about the “Red Man”, I have not seen the video where he was said to be handing out hammers. BUT conspicuous by omission was anything addressing either Epps or this Osborne guy, who are very real seen and heard in many videos. Other than vague statements about the DOJ “circling” Osborne. What? When they kicked in the doors of completely innocent people who they thought “might”have Nancy’s fabled laptop?

    None of them face up to Tucker’s case of very questionable selective non-prosecution of others either. OR of the question of the initial breach–or even this weird business of the laptop (I have seen the picture of the guy, masked in battle dress, carrying the laptop). So it’s a bit of a stretch to proclaim Tucker’s case is “debunked”. Actually it’s THEIR case that looks like their usual Lies of Omission–like they did for 2 years + uniformly screeching about TrumpRussiaCollusion !

    Meanwhile it looks like the FBI director–the one compromised by the big $ his law firm got FROM CHINA–lied about whethef the FBI had informants inside the “Proud Boys”.
