Our government is corrupt. 

That is not exactly news to you and me, but millions of Americans have swallowed the Narrative™, hook, line, and sinker. 

Will that eventually change? We shall see, but over the past two years, some House Republicans have been working diligently to uncover the truth about COVID-19, January 6th, the border crisis, and the overall weaponization of government. It’s been frustrating because the gears in the machine of justice move slowly and Republicans have had only modest power to do anything, but justice may be coming at last.

We can dream, anyway. And with a new president and new Congress our dreams may finally come true. 

Representative Barry Loudermilk, who chairs the Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight, released a report yesterday that slams the Department of Defense Inspector General and basically accuses him of engaging in an illegal coverup of the truth behind the Army’s failure to deploy the D.C. National Guard to defend the Capitol building as ordered. 

After a thorough investigation, the Subcommittee uncovered evidence substantiating that the Department of Defense intentionally delayed the deployment of the D.C. National Guard to the Capitol on January 6, 2021. In addition, the DoD IG concealed the extent and cause of the delay to protect Department of Defense and Pentagon leadership. The Subcommittee found multiple instances where the DoD IG failed to disclose evidence that contradicted the DoD IG’s erroneous conclusion. 
 
The DoD IG’s report reflects an alarming failure to adequately evaluate the actions of senior DoD officials, including Secretary of the Army, Ryan McCarthy, who failed to communicate deployment orders to Major General William Walker, the Commander of the DCNG on January 6.
 
“My Subcommittee worked with the DoD IG in good faith throughout our investigation to provide multiple opportunities for the DOD IG to produce corroborating materials or evidence to support their conclusions,” said Chairman Loudermilk. “Unfortunately, the DoD IG continues to promote an inaccurate narrative that protects senior Pentagon officials and attempts to cast fault on the D.C. National Guard, who were ready and waiting less than 2 miles from the Capitol but unable to respond on January 6 due to lack of communication from the Secretary of the Army.” 
 
“My Subcommittee released transcripts that show that not only were political concerns of ‘optics’ at play, but that DoD officials continued to delay as the riot at the Capitol worsened. The evidence is conclusive: DoD officials misled Congress into believing that help was ‘on the way’ with full knowledge that it wasn’t.”

Watch never-before-seen video footage from HBO, showing the Secretary of the Army’s false statements to Congressional leadership. At 3:18pm, Secretary McCarthy tells sheltering Members of Congress that he is not blocking deployment of the National Guard and, while referencing the D.C. National Guard, shares that “We have the greenlight. We are moving”. However, the Secretary of the Army’s own timeline indicates that the DCNG did not physically leave the Armory until 17:00 [5pm]

Army Generals initially disobeyed orders to deploy the Guard, and the IG hid that truth, furthering a Narrative™ that made it seem that President Trump engaged in an insurrection. 

Inspectors General are supposed to be independent watchdogs independent of the agencies they monitor, and occasionally they are and do a good job. And, occasionally, they are captured by the institutions they are supposed to hold accountable, as in this case. No doubt the IG was empowered by a Congress in 2021 and 2022 that wanted to place all the blame on the president, hiding the responsibility of Pentagon officials who evaded orders and Nancy Pelosi who refused to properly prepare for the events of January 6th, 2021. 

“After a thorough examination of emails and documents, including letters, memorandums, agreements, plans, orders, reports, briefings, statements made in congressional hearings, closed-door testimony to the Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol (‘Select Committee’), and closed-door testimony made to the DoD IG,” Loudermilk wrote, “the Subcommittee’s investigation has concluded that the Department of Defense intentionally delayed the deployment of the DC [National Guard] to the Capitol on January 6, 2021.”

“Furthermore,” Loudermilk added, “the Subcommittee also maintains that the DoD IG knowingly concealed the extent of the delay in constructing a narrative that is favorable to DoD and Pentagon leadership.”

That we have been lied to is of course no surprise, but proof that it happened will be to many people who bought into the multiple hoaxes attached to January 6th. 

Pravda Media will no doubt downplay this report as a partisan witch hunt, but the new Attorney General, whoever that will be, should pursue perjury charges for everybody who lied, and Courts Martial should be held for people who disobeyed orders or lied to Congress or the Executive. 

Accountability HAS TO be a major part of reform, otherwise all the abuses will keep happening. Good order and discipline doesn’t happen by itself. 

To those who have complained that all Congress ever does is write a strongly worded letter, I get your frustration. But until Trump is back in office and Republicans control both Houses, there was little else that the House could do. 

Under the Biden regime and with the Pravda Media at his back, Democracy has been Dying in Darkness as they say. 

And sunlight is the best disinfectant.
