DC Democrats Claim Victory Over Inflation With Temporary Two Cent Drop in Gasoline Prices – Their Emphasis Explains Why They Need Omicron


Posted originally on the Conservative tree house on December 2, 2021 | Sundance | 116 Comments

If you were still on the fence about Omicron being created/used specifically because the people behind Biden were worried about gas prices {Go Deep}, you can quit the straddle.

Energy inflation overall, and gasoline inflation specifically, is the Build Back Better communists’ Achilles heel.  The Biden administration is ideologically committed to climate change policy and as a result they have no supply-side tools to stop gasoline prices from necessarily skyrocketing.  They desperately need the fear of Omicron to shut down the demand side.

Ten days ago the communists said they were releasing 55 million barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum reserve {Go Deep}, approximately a three day supply of oil given the current level of demand.  Today the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) laughably claim victory over a two cent drop in gasoline price.  Worse still is the gaslighting graph they use to show a downward trajectory on price:

The Y-axis is in increments of half a cent.  The X-axis is showing six days of impact.

Yes, gasoline fell from $3.39/gal to $3.38/gal in the six days after the strategic petroleum reserve release.  We are spared a single penny per gallon in gas price.

Even the leftist media recognize this type of propaganda only makes Democrats look more stupid. A longer review of the Joe Biden price for Gasoline puts that six day Democrat graph into perspective:

Knuckleheads….

All communists are knuckleheads.

That said, what this insufferable effort highlights is how much emphasis the Democrats are putting toward trying desperately to get away from the problem of inflation.

All of Biden energy policy, and all of Biden’s spending around the Build Back Better agenda, is designed to take us from where we are now into some distant place where fossil fuels are not the energy mechanism; that’s the Green New Deal component of this.  However, there is no policy for their transition – they stopped all current energy policy around oil and coal.

Biden halted pipelines, cancelled oil and gas leases, blocked expanded refinery capacity and regulated the entire U.S. oil industry into a place of diminished capacity.  That is why energy prices have, as Obama promised,  “necessarily skyrocketed.”  And, we ain’t seen nothing yet.  Depending on how cold it is this winter, you can expect natural gas and home heating oil to double in the next few months.

The near horizon looks pretty clear.  Gasoline will keep rising fast and will cost $6 to $7/gal before next spring.   There is no way under current Joe Biden policy to avoid this, unless he was to completely abandon his energy policy; that’s not likely.  The climate change ideologues, academics and far-left communists behind the Biden policy are not likely to see the catastrophic economic damage as a bad thing, instead they will likely say it’s the new normal.

With that level of supply side economic chaos seemingly unavoidable, the only way for Biden to try and mitigate political damage is an attempt to halt the demand side.  That’s why the administration needs Omicron.

It is more important for our government to use Omicron than all other governments because we are the spending and ideological center. That is why we are seeing a much bigger emphasis upon the fear of Omicron by our government; and that is why the descending levels of variant emphasis/fear fall in line depending on how closely other nations are aligned as allies.

Meanwhile… China, Iran and Russia (adversaries on an ideological level) know what is happening, and to the extent they can drive U.S. inflation even higher, they will.  Our adversaries know how to use Biden’s policy to make massive inflation hurt the U.S. disproportionately. This is why OPEC is giving Biden the middle finger on his ‘request’ to increase oil production, and this is why China is now triggering shipping quarantines. (more)

Again, as repeated previously, our window to prepare for a massive jump in inflation is slowly closing.  We are down to around 60 days, and then things will get really ugly.  The people behind Joe Biden know this.  Omicron is a tool they are attempting to use to moderate the speed of impact within the inflation window.

Press We Can – Lee Smith’s Seminal Outline of the Media Role in Creating the Trump-Russia Conspiracy Theory


Posted originally on the conservative tree house December 2, 2021 | Sundance | 70 Comments

Author and journalist Lee Smith pens a seminal outline showcasing the media’s role in creating the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory:

“A comparison of the media’s role in the two biggest political scandals of the past half-century is worth the time of anyone who cares about what the next decade or so of American public life is going to look and sound like.”….

Inside the Actors Studio Presents Alec Baldwin’s Theatrical Debut: “I Didn’t Pull The Trigger”


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on December 1, 2021 | Sundance | 172 Comments

The dramatic and cinematic promotional effort is so over the top as George Stephanopoulos plays the role of James Lipton interviewing Alec Baldwin in the grand performance of “I didn’t pull the trigger, no, no, no… never” the revolver just went off all by itself.  WATCH:

The cinematic effort by ABC here is, excuse the pun, likely to backfire.  It’s just perverse, twisted and creepy, considering that someone died.

Whoever gave Baldwin the advice to do this was just playing to his own vanity.   The one thing regular Americans can detect better than all other nations of people is fake efforts at authenticity.  That reality has been the Achilles heel of professional con-artists and leftists for decades; and thankfully, most people have retained that instinct.

Very Interesting DOJ Inspector General Finding, CRS Officials Recently Gave Applicants Access to Main Justice Database


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 26, 2021 | Sundance | 115 Comments

This report from inside the Dept of Justice Office of Inspector General is very interesting; not just because of the ideology and agency attached to the issue they investigated, but also because of the recent timing this year – [ie. while the Rittenhouse and Arbery cases were being conducted.]

The essential summary of the OIG issue is that someone inside the DOJ Civil Rights Division; someone in charge of the secretive internal agency known as the Community Relations Service (CRS); gave access to the computer database of Main Justice to employment applicants for the CRS. [OIG Report Link]

We have tracked the CRS activity for years {Example Go Deep}.  The core ideology of the CRS is virtually unknown to the public.  The activists who apply for employment positions inside the CRS have one ideological outlook in support of radical elements like NAACP, Black Lives Matter, ANTIFA, and other social justice causes.  There is no other ideology in the agency of the CRS. Advancement of radical race-based agenda is their mission within the DOJ.  That reality is well beyond dispute.

As a consequence, anyone applying for a job with CRS would have a very specific purpose.  The motive for CRS leadership, to give a CRS applicant access to the Main Justice database potentially exploiting the entire federal Department of Justice, can only be looked upon as purposeful.  Think of this “misconduct” like giving BLM, Antifa, ShareBlue, NAACP or the radical elements of the DNC access to the Dept of Justice files:  [September 8, 2021]

The DOJ-CRS is the least known quasi-legislatively approved agency within the justice department.  The CRS is the Community Relations Service, and is a very secret division within the DOJ civil rights unit.  The activity of the CRS is rarely discussed, but essentially the agency is authorized to reach into any national event, investigation, court proceeding, local, state or federal, and modify/guide the proceedings under the auspices of maintaining national racial harmony.

“The Community Relations Service (CRS), a component of the Department of Justice (DOJ), serves as “America’s Peacemaker” for communities in conflict by mediating disputes and enhancing community capacity to independently prevent and resolve future conflicts.” (read more)

We followed the CRS in the Trayvon Martin case and watched them in real time organize the NAACP, New Black Panthers, Dream Defenders and AME church network.

We watched in real time as the Eric Holder led Federal Department of Justice, dispatched a team of federal agents, led by Thomas Battles, to block the Sanford Police Department and demand the resignation of Sanford Police Chief, Bill Lee.

Federal agents were doing this. The CRS feds organized the marches, coordinated the marches, facilitated the marches and yes, paid for the marches,…. to deliver what exactly?

Yet, almost the entire country has no idea what the DOJ-CRS activity consists of.

We originally began highlighting the work of the DOJ Community Relations Service (DOJ-CRS) over a decade ago as a result of several racial issues which surfaced after Barack Obama was elected.

The recent Christmas parade attack in Wisconsin was a worst case scenario for the federal officials who shape American racial views for political control.  That is why we are seeing such extraordinary efforts to tamp down the story, and that’s exactly the reason why local authorities said they would not provide any further press conferences after the one organized by the CRS at 1pm on the day after the attack.

If the races were reversed, there would be press conferences every six hours three times a day with updates.  There would be dozens of subsidiary human interest stories on national television sharing, highlighting and emphasizing every granular aspect of the horrific attack by Darrell Brooks.   There would be satellite trucks outside the hospitals and officials giving updates every few hours.

If the races were reversed, the white man who drove into a crowd of black parade goers in retaliation for a jury decision would be front and center of every news story, broadcast and panel discussion for weeks.   However, when any attack falls into the elements of control by the CRS, the story disappears quickly.  This is all coordinated by the DOJ-CRS, and yet few people know about them.

Race is used as a political tool by those who control the levers of power in the U.S. government.  Victims and perpetrators are defined according to how the dividing narrative fits their effort for political value. The progressive group deep inside the CRS are also called “the federal peacekeepers“, because they organize the nuances within the division to protect the system from outcomes they essentially create.

The CRS watches, and in many ways facilitates, politicians and federal officials stirring up racial strife.  The CRS supports cultural Marxism. However, when the inevitable violence surfaces, the CRS must control the backlash.   [NOTE: The CRS only activates when the minority supported group attack the majority non-supported group.]

The DC system operators have used racial division for their own benefit for decades; however, the federal ‘peacekeeper’ deployment has been refined, updated and refreshed with the advent of technology and social media.

The CRS primarily focuses on clouding, obfuscating and hiding motives from violent race-based attacks.  They will take a small innocuous possibility and expand it into the larger talking points if that helps to deflect attention away from the real racial motive of a violent attack by a black suspect.  The CRS primarily activates when the protected minority group attacks the majority group; their mission is to provide cover.

The CRS stands aside when national media and politicians push a false narrative that benefits their objectives.  When a NASCAR garage pull down rope is falsely promoted as a noose, the CRS just watch and do not refute the claim.  When Kyle Rittenhouse is wrongfully accused of being a white supremacist, the CRS do not get involved, they just watch and do not refute the claim.  These examples advance the objectives of the cultural Marxists and are therefore not impeded.

However, when a protected and supported racial minority group attack the majority group with a motive based on race, the CRS quickly jump into action.  That is the specificity of what they do, and the CRS have broad power and authority to carry out their operations because they are aligned with one side of the political continuum.

The CRS use allied media to shape their control over their defensive justifications and narratives.  The CRS also have a massive network within the faith-based community that act as partners for their mission.

The African Methodist Episcopal church (AME) is a major partner for the CRS in their objectives.  Their relationship goes back to the civil rights era, before the CRS was corrupted for unilateral political benefit.  There is also a large network of nationwide community activist groups who are part of the CRS rolodex.  The federal peacekeeper reach is massive and, because of the cultural sensitivity they use as a weapon, it is virtually unchallenged.

You can read about some specifics of how the CRS operates in the example of the Sanford, Florida protests {go Deep}.

The DOJ-CRS giving applicants access to the DOJ database is the same type of “mistake” as the FBI contractors unlawfully using the NSA database to assist in opposition research against the campaign and presidency of Donald Trump; which is to say, it wasn’t a mistake.

James O’Keefe Provides Update on Project Veritas Case Against New York Times


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 24, 2021 | Sundance | 26 Comments

[NEW YORK – Nov. 23, 2021] Project Veritas released a new video today refuting The New York Times’ legally flawed claim that the New York State Supreme Court acted in an “unconstitutional” way when it ruled that The Times must temporarily stop publishing Veritas’ attorney-client privileged communications with the attorneys representing Veritas in the defamation case, and further ordered The Times to explain the reasoning behind why they did so in an article earlier this month.

Veritas is currently suing The Times for defamation after they libelously labeled a September 2020 video exposing ballot harvesting in Minnesota as “deceptive.” The lawsuit was filed over a year ago. (read more)

Fox News Legal Pundit Johnathan Turley Makes False Comparison Between Trayvon Martin and Ahmaud Arbery


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 24, 2021 | Sundance | 70 Comments

CTH doesn’t do direct refutation unless the issues are very important.    Earlier today, immediately following the jury conviction of three men in the death of Ahmaud Arbery, a longtime Fox News legal analyst named Johnathan Turley made a claim of fact that must be refuted.  My apologies for the delay here.

I do not have video citation, but watched in real time as it happened.  Attorney and Law School Professor Johnathan Turley appeared on Fox News to discuss the jury verdict in the Arbery case.

During his appearance, Professor Turley stated the difference between Ahmaud Arbery’s death and the death of Trayvon Martin was video evidence.

Turley compared the Arbery case to the Trayvon case by saying there were no eyewitnesses for either events, but the difference in the Arbery case there was video.

The explicit and intended implication was that if video evidence existed in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, there’s a possibility George Zimmerman would have been convicted, or in the words of Turley, “there would have been a different outcome in that case.”   Everything about this claim by Turley is FALSE.

Turley’s viewpoint for the Arbery case discussion is not only wrong, it dangerously presents a possibility that is entirely fictitious.

THERE WAS a direct eye witness in the fight between George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin.  Direct eye witness Jonathan Good testified during the Zimmerman trial to witnessing the fight from his window in the condo unit next to the confrontation [LINK].  John Good testified in court to seeing Trayvon on top of Zimmerman and raining down blows MMA style, “ground and pound“, while Zimmerman was “shouting for help“, just before the fatal shot was fired.

John Good (pictured below right) originally gave the same statement to the police on the night of the incident, and all of the forensic evidence supported the description of the events as told during Good’s statement and court appearance.  Mr. Good’s first hand eyewitness account, and all of the subsequent physical evidence in the case – which included recordings of 911 phone calls which documented the sound of the fight, was the primary reason why detectives in the case and the local district attorney in Orlando did not file charges against George Zimmerman after the shooting.

All of the evidence in the case supported traditional self defense.  Ignored by most, and falsely reported by national media, George Zimmerman did not use a “stand your ground” defense, because traditional self-defense was evident in the facts of the case.  The “duty to retreat” was never debated in court or even by prosecutors, because Zimmerman had no opportunity to retreat from a physical confrontation he did not initiate.

The media’s false reporting in the Zimmerman case was jaw-dropping, and all these years later – thanks to the fabrications by people like Johnathan Turley – most of the public still have no idea what factually took place in the encounter between Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman.

Perhaps Turley does not know about the police statements and direct courtroom testimony by eyewitness John Good, because what he said did not match the false media narrative that was built in the aftermath.   The media ignored the evidence, and their complicit alignment with a prosecution narrative actually provided room for state special prosecutors Angela Corey and Bernie De La Rionda to carry out another egregious miscarriage of justice.  They completely fabricated a pro-prosecution witness named Rachel Jeantel {Go Deep}.

John Good was an inconvenient witness that destroyed the media narrative about the confrontation between Trayvon and Zimmerman; so the media ignored it.  Additionally, the officials in/around Sanford and Orlando Florida kept the spotlight away from John Good because there was a genuine worry that he would be targeted by the mob that was stirred up by the false racist narrative.

Essentially John Good was in hiding until he could give his first-hand eyewitness account in court.  Those facts are likely why Professor Johnathan Turley doesn’t know about the eyewitness; however, in the larger picture, what does that reality say about the media?

CTH came to the defense of George Zimmerman, because we were defending the truth.  Not the manipulated truth, and not any version of any individual truth; but the literal and empirical truth that undermined the myriad of lies around the Zimmerman case.   The lies were so thick in the case against Zimmerman, the state prosecution even believed it would be possible to successfully create witness #8 out of nothing and get away with it.

Witness #8, Rachel Jeantel, appeared at the trial and gave testimony; unfortunately for the prosecution, she could not answer most questions because she never saw, heard, or had anything to do with the events.   Jeantel was handed to the prosecution by the lawyers and family of Trayvon Martin.  Jeantel signed a statement for the prosecution that she did not write and couldn’t even read.

Jeantel was needed because lawyers for Trayvon Martin’s family claimed publicly a girl was on the phone with Trayvon when the encounter with Zimmerman took place.  Everything about that claim was a lie.  However, worse still, the state prosecution was willing to go along with the lie because the falsehood became the central point of their case.

As a consequence, Rachel Jeantel was a completely made up witness by the Florida state prosecution in the highest profile legal case in the past decade…. and no one was ever held accountable for that.

Let that TRUTH sink in a while…

I hope everyone can see how dangerous this stuff is…

Schumer’s Dilemma


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Nov 24, 2021 by Martin Armstrong

Chuck Schumer is up for re-election in 2022. When the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court took place, New York Progressives who are out to change America into the next Marxist-Wonderland, warned Schumer to “step up to the plate” and publicly support stuffing the Supreme Court with progressives who would rule against the Constitution in the manner that they want. They threatened Schumer that if he did not comply with their demands, then he will face a tough fight to keep his Senate seat when he is up for re-election in 2022.

The threat came in a very strongly-worded letter to Schumer signed by a coalition of 22 progressive New York City and state officials. The letter demanded that Schumer counter a number of “right-wing ideologues” on the country’s Supreme Court, which is described as not being an impartial arbiter of whether policies enacted by branches of government were in keeping with the US Constitution and US. laws. Biden’s pick for the top bank regulator is an outright Communist and against banking. Saule Omarova, a law professor at Cornell Law School, is probably the most anti-capitalist person who was educated in Russia and nostalgic for communism. Indeed, in her Senate hearing, some asked if they should call her comrade or professor. Either way, she has no experience in the real world of banking. She is just another academic with theories to experiment on society.

Schumer is up for re-election in 2022 and the Democratic Party is being torn apart. This Build Back Better spending bill is the single largest spending bill as a percentage of the national debt in the entire history of the nation. It has nothing to do with stimulating the economy. About one-third is all about the environment; shutting down fossils fuels is the main goal decades before there is any replacement. Forget just heating people’s homes, they are out to end commuting to work, eliminating office buildings, and shut down fossil fuels now even before a theory of alternative energy could ever replace everything in 20 years. The real objective seems to be reducing the population, for that is the ONLY way to ever achieve their unrealistic goals.

Looking at Schumer’s career, 2022 is the peak. Even if he is re-elected, there will be a decline between 2022 and 2026. So either the Democrats lose the Senate in 2022, or Schumer loses the election. Either way, his political career is peaking out in 2022. The vast majority of Americans are NOT progressives willing to surrender everything and overturn the Constitution.

Already 70% of Americans feel that the Democrats are taking the country in the wrong direction. Biden will never run in 2024, and the progressives do not care about the polls of the Democrats. They are forcing their agenda through come hell or high water, as they say. They just got the Democrats to pass the Build Back Better bill in the House. This is the takeover of the United States and the imposition of raw tyranny to create this new world of the Great Reset.

REPORT: Nancy Pelosi Joining The Pro DeSantis Migration and Purchasing a Home in The Free State of Florida


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 23, 2021 | Sundance | 278 Comments

For the past few weeks, rumors have been swirling about Nancy Pelosi traveling to the free state of Florida to view property for another home [link].   Everyone knows if Democrats get crushed in the 2022 mid-terms, she will exit congress faster than a fat kid playing dodge ball.  Pelosi was spotted on the same flight as Marjorie Taylor Greene [link], and then spotted again looking at a specific $25 million beach estate [link].

Obviously, it would be a little hypocritical for Speaker Pelosi to politically rail against the policies of Governor Ron DeSantis and yet support those policies with a physical move to the state.  However, that said, Democrats -particularly those in political leadership- are notorious for double standards.

John Cardillo indicates Speaker Pelosi has purchased this specific home on Jupiter Island:

There’s a lot of speculation, and not any specific evidence to support the claims.   Here is a LINK to the listing, which does show the home has recently changed to “pending” status.   The home sold in 2015 for $15 million and was then put up for sale again this year in May for $25 million.  That gives you an idea how rapid the home values in Florida have risen in the past few years.

If Pelosi has purchased that house, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will have a fun talking point in his reelection campaign; especially because the official Democrat funding mechanisms (Democrat Governors Association) have admitted it would be futile to try and defeat DeSantis – they ain’t wasting money trying.

It is a beautiful property.  However, obviously Pelosi -like Obama- is not worried about climate change.

Kyle Rittenhouse Violated the Safari Principle


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 20, 2021 | Sundance | 325 Comments

A good article outlining why Kyle Rittenhouse was considered a specifically purposeful target for the regime is written at Powerline Blog by Paul Mirengoff [SEE HERE].

What the author essentially describes is something CTH readers have witnessed for over a decade, we called it “The Safari Principle” narrative; and it surfaced in its most modern form during the George Zimmerman case.

In essence, the underlying elements of the Safari Principle narrative begin with a pretense that victims of the mob, any mob or individual predator, have no one except themselves to blame because they did not follow the rules of the safari.  When in the proximity of any person, event or situation that is engaged in an unlawful act supported by the political left, you are not permitted to exit your vehicle or engage in activity that will lead to your targeting.

If you enter their “space to destroy“, you are to blame for your own outcome.  The safari narrative includes catch phrases like “he should not have gotten out of the car,” and “he shouldn’t have traveled to Kenosha,” all based on the same principle.

(Powerline) […] The Rittenhouse prosecution and the demonization of him by the left (including the left-wing media) stems from a simple premise. Leftists, including Antifa and BLM, have the right to take to the street causing chaos and property damage, and when they do, those who disagree with them must stand aside while leftists run riot. If they don’t stand aside, they have no right to defend themselves against members of the mob who come after them — even if someone points a gun at them (as Grosskreutz did). (read more)

The first advocacy for the modern “Safari Principle” surfaced prior to the George Zimmerman trial, in the summer of 2012, when the professionally aggrieved first began the narrative: “He shouldn’t have gotten out of his car”.

Historically, we used to blame the victim by saying he/she was in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, politically it became too difficult to define where the wrong places were, and simultaneously legislators continued to struggle defining the right vs. wrong times law abiding people were allowed to be in these places.

Historically, the political media were skilled at excusing transparently guilty.  However, in the aftermath of the Obama paradigm shift, where the media began accusing the transparently innocent, a more specific rule was needed.

After various opinions were considered, eventually the advocates settled upon The Safari Principle – A selected narrative used throughout 2012/2013 as a point of advocacy driving home the belief that George Zimmerman had no right to follow, then exit his vehicle when he saw a suspicious Trayvon Martin peering through windows and casing houses.

The “Safari Principle” evolved to further claim, ‘if you do get out of your car, you deserve what you get’ with the implication by the leftist narrative engineers that essentially young black males cannot control their behavior.

Shortly after the grievance advocates of Ben Crump, Natalie Jackson, Daryl Parks and the congressional black caucus announced their own support for the Safari Principle – another incident surfaced in Virginia when two reporters for the Virginia Pilot stopped and exited their vehicle after their car was hit by bricks.

The couple was attacked by a mob of somewhere between 30 to 100 young black males while shouting “justice for Trayvon”.  After the reporters left the hospital, the Virginia Pilot editorial team quickly apologized for not following the Safari Park rules, accepted the beating of their reporters was the fault of the couple who stopped their vehicle, and the newspaper promised they would join the advocacy movement.

Fast forward through several more examples to August of 2014, when Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson exited his vehicle after Mike Brown punched him in the head and tried to gain his service revolver. The meme of The Safari Principle was quick to surface again, LOUDLY.

Officer Darren Wilson had no right to get out of his car after the attack.

By exiting his SUV,  Wilson was to blame for Mike Brown charging him in the street. Again reaffirming the leftist worldview that young black males cannot control their behavior.

Subsequently, the grievance advocates pointed out Officer Wilson was ultimately to blame for shooting Mike Brown. If Wilson had followed the Safari Principle, Mike Brown would still be alive today.

After Mike Brown was killed by police officer Darren Wilson, the Safari Principle advocates applied the same theme to explain how Zemir Begic was guilty of his own murder, again in Saint Louis.

Zemir Begic exited his vehicle in the vicinity of three young black males who beat him to death with hammers. Begic would be alive today if he had only followed The Safari Principle rules.

A year later, 2015 in Baltimore, Maryland, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake then became a public advocate for the safari rules when she proclaimed her decision to let the riots, looting and arson continue, as it was intended specifically to give the mob “space to destroy.”  Despite the dozens of property owners who saw their shops, stores and livelihoods go up in smoke, the rules of the safari took precedent.

Again, in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death in Minnesota, the rules of the safari became evident when looting, arson and riots were defined as “expressions of speech.”  All violence supported by the political left is considered speech, while speech opposed by the left is defined as violence.

Because the visible chaos did not align with the gentle media descriptions of “protests“, the corporate media decision was to modify the language used to describe the arson and riots by using the term “mostly peaceful protests,” that term has stuck within the visible chaos over the past few years in various forms.

Obviously the word “mostly” is a relative term , and that provides the flexibility needed to convince viewers the violence they are witnessing isn’t really the violence they are witnessing.

.

Kyle Rittenhouse made the mistake of trying to impede violence, arson and rioting supported by the political left and their media allies.   Rittenhouse paid a heavy price for not following the rules of the safari, and that is why they are so determined to make an example of him.

In 2020 the FBI, the political left who need/support the violence, and the current occupant of the White House did not make the same mistake as Rittenhouse.  Instead the FBI, Democrats and Joe Biden adhered to the safari rules and took the approved approach as demanded by the mob:
