Facial recognition firm claims antifa infiltrated Trump protesters who stormed Capitol

Discussion in 'Politics' started by TimtheEnchanter, Jan 7, 2021.

  1. "Trump supporters say that Antifa members disguised as one of them infiltrated the protesters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.

    A retired military officer told The Washington Times that the firm XRVision used its software to do facial recognition of protesters and matched two Philadelphia Antifa members to two men inside the Senate.

    The source provided the photo match to The Times."
    One has a tattoo that indicates he is a Stalinist sympathizer. Antifa promotes anarchy through violence and wants the end of America in favor of a Stalinist-state. “No more USA at all” is a protest chant.

    XRVision also has identified another man who, while not known to have Antifa links, is someone who shows up at climate and Black Lives Matter protests in the West.

    Trump Loyalists Push Baseless Theory Antifa Staged Mob Attack
    https://www.newsweek.com/trump-loyalists-push-baseless-theory-antifa-staged-mob-attack-1559559

    President Donald Trump's most fervent loyalists have been pushing a false narrative claiming that the U.S. Capitol building was breached by members of "Antifa" rather than violent Trump supporters who rioted in a failed attempt to overturn the presidential election outcome.

    A pro-Trump mob assaulted police officers and stormed the building on Wednesday as Congress convened to officially certify President-elect Joe Biden's victory. Video and photographic evidence shows the crowd carrying Trump banners and signs promoting unverified claims that the election was "stolen" from the outgoing president, but Trump loyalists baselessly alleged that the real perpetrators may have been disguised anti-fascist activists.

    "Some of the people who breached the Capitol today were not Trump supporters," Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said while Congress was debating Biden's certification. "They were masquerading as Trump supporters and in fact were members of the violent terrorist group Antifa."

    A number of members of Congress could be heard reacting negatively to Gaetz's claim, while some of his GOP colleagues clapped in support of Gaetz after he made the remarks.

    Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), another Trump devotee, also claimed that Antifa were the real culprits while sharing an unverified report from conservative newspaper The Washington Times, which said that an anonymous "retired military officer" said facial recognition software had matched two people photographed inside the Capitol to unspecified anti-fascist activists.

    "Evidence mounts that fascist ANTIFA infiltrated Trump rally & stormed Capitol," Brooks tweeted. " I don't know the true facts yet, and neither does 99.99% of public. I suggest no rush to judgment until an investigation reveals whatever the truth may be. Then Prosecute!"

    Some prominent Trump supporters seemed even more convinced that the emerging theory was more likely than what footage from the scene appeared to show, despite the lack of evidence. Televangelist Mark Burns tweeted that he was "saddened" by the attack after claiming that it had been "staged" by Antifa.

    Pro-Trump lawyer Lin Wood, who recently suggested that he might be the second coming of Jesus Christ, according to court documents, tweeted that Antifa, Black Lives Matter and "similar Communist groups" were responsible for the violence. Wood later said he had been blocked from posting to his Twitter account.

    Other Trump loyalists who entertained the conspiracy on Wednesday night included Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, Fox News hosts Martha McCallum and Laura Ingraham, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

    Many of those promoting the claims shared a photograph of Jake Angeli, a prominent supporter of the pro-Trump QAnon conspiracy theory known for wearing face paint and an outlandish furry costume featuring horns, falsely claiming he was a member of Antifa instead, according to NBC News.

    Trump himself has done little to quell the spread of false information. Prior to Twitter taking the unprecedented step of removing two of his tweets and blocking him from posting for 12 hours, he told rioters to "go home" while praising them as "great patriots." At least one person was killed while the Capitol was breached and more were injured, including multiple police officers.

    Trump supporters were not the only ones storming the Capitol.

    Why Was Founder Of Far-Left BLM Group Filming Inside Capitol As Police Shot Protester?


    Filming the incident from behind Babbit, however, was Utah resident John Sullivan - founder of the far-left organization "Insurgence USA" who made headlines in July after he was arrested for intimidating drivers in Provo. Sullivan was interviewed by the Daily Mail and CNN following Wednesday's shooting - both of which failed to provide a satisfactory answer as to why he was there in the first place.


    Sullivan isn't the only leftist believed to have been part of Wednesday's 'insurrection,' as internet sleuths have produced unconfirmed evidence that several of those pictured taking 'trophy shots' in the Capitol were in fact Antifa.

    More nonsense from Zero Hedge --- where just about anyone can submit stuff. We will wait for a reliable news source to provide insight on these type of claims.

    You’re just friggin lame at times...... the guy was interviewed live on CNN, he admits to being inside the Capitol but “I wasn’t there as a Trump supporter”. Well at least he didn’t lie about that.

    Why was a known far-left, professed Trump hating, BLM supporter inside the Capitol during the protests filming?

    Better question, who was he there filming and how was he connected to them.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...g-Capitol.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailus

    Two other witnesses spoke to CNN's Anderson Cooper, describing how Babbitt was shot as she tired to climb through the broken window into the area officers were blocking off.

    John Sullivan, recorded a video of the aftermath, showing police with guns drawn and Babbitt lying in a pool of blood in a stairway inside the Capitol.

    Sullivan is the founder of the left-wing activist group Insurgence USA. He said he was not at the Capitol as part of the protest but did not specify what exactly brought him there.

  9. We all know how the Full Retard Left Media will play this.

    They will dumb it down so the little low IQ'ers will think it was Trump.

    And they will suck it up line and sinker like a fish.
     

  10. So because Sullivan was there for whatever reason (and NOT carrying a Trump flag or Confederate flag), most likely filming and recording, that means the other 1000 or so Trumptards storming the halls nad vandlaizing and looting the Capitol and attacking the guards are forgiven?

    Sullivan does not mean the entire thing was ANTIFA.
