^From July 22, 2022Excellent point. The color revolution handbook included heavy use of NGOs, NED, political cutouts, unwitting dupes of gov't agencies, etc. The great mysteries of the Kiev 2014 Maidan revolution remain: who were the multiple shooters that fired upon the Maidan protesters that took Maidan kinetic, burning the conflict into blood hate? Who were their sponsors? Who gave the order to shoot? Who turned on the "Christmas tree procession," after it had been turned off as an obvious provocation? Putin claims to know, but he prefers his revenge served cold. Maybe we will see.
Epps claims he was not acting on behalf of US intelligence or LE. Perhaps that is entirely truthful, at least to his knowledge. It does not preclude that he was acting (knowingly or not) on behalf of a particular politician, party (or their apparatchik), law firm, NGO, or aligned powerful person. It doesn't prove he was an unwitting dupe of US intelligence or LE. Such examples could be: hillary/nancy/joe, DNC/Blue projects, 3-letter agencies by proxy, Open Society Foundation (or one of their many sub-agencies), a politically motivated power player, or any other cutout. Epps was clearly willing, but was he fully witting of what he was doing and who he was doing it for?
We've seen so many swamp shenanigans against Trump, there is no reason to believe they have any motivation to stop - even now. None have been held liable. They presently control the DC judiciary - totally. The slow-roll "independent" Durham probe is doomed, not really for lack of basis, but as most events have passed Statue of Limitations.
Jan 6 does have some aesthetic and ideological parallels to Maidan, maybe even other USIC-effected Color Revolutions. The apparent setup. The mystery of who gave what orders. The fog of agents. The fog of transiting political leaders, parties, and patsies. Heated, irreconcilable differences. Epps, even if he was unwitting, was plenty willing. And he was way out of his element in that town.
Today from Gab:

Jan 6 is looking more color-revolutiony than ever before.
What on earth does a horse farm owner from Arizona need to speak to Nancy Pelosi about during the week before Jan 6?
