Friday Kunstler lays out the J6/election certification interference story pretty clearly. Harris at DNC is a huge clue
Cold Case Heats Up

Do you have any idea what tapestry of corruption and crime is attached to the little thread of the J6 / DNC / RNC pipe bomber suspect arrested yesterday by the FBI? Consider this: suspect Brian Cole, Jr., is alive and probably talking, unlike, say, Jeffrey Epstein and Thomas Matthew Crooks in other matters of public interest. Let’s hope he is under FBI protection in custody, lest something. . . say. . . happen to him.

As of early this morning, the country knows next to nothing else about Cole and what he was up to the night of Jan. 5, 2021. The FBI has not even said how he is employed.
Since then Mr. Cole was revealed to be employed by his father’s bail bond companies, which specialize in engineering the release of illegal aliens. Like their clients, Papa Cole’s business practices have fallen often enough on the wrong side of the law to be considered a basic principle
But his photo shows a young man dressed for office work. . . he lives in a nice house in the DC suburbs of Virginia. . .
…it is a nice house, and belongs to his mother, with whom he and his little Chihuahua live...
and you might infer that he is, possibly, a federal government worker.
Wonder, indeed. But the question was quickly answered.
Oh, and the FBI was unable to catch him through the whole four years of “Joe Biden?”
The rest involves speculation about the events of January 6th, none of it superceded by recent revelations, to whit:
You can suppose at this point that the story of that four-year botched investigation will be a way bigger thing than the pipe bomber’s little prank itself. It probably leads to the story of wholesale corruption in Christopher Wray’s FBI, and even more consequentially, to the realization that the so-called J6, 2021 “insurrection” was a government op from top to bottom, aimed at eradicating Trump and Trumpism. # id) ?>

1 This will be interesting. What has been released sounds like ANTIFA. He has bought possible bomb components back several years before. I suspect that he has built pipe bombs previously. Not sure why anyone would purchase bomb components on a credit card.

2 ^ He was assured by his Handler that using an Agency credit card was totes cool? Just throwing that out there

3 This is a breach of the ring wall not the citadel. I do want to hear an explanation of why a liberal anti-Trump kid unsuccessfully pipe-bombs the DNC on J6. The media will be stretching like Gumby to explain this one.
The indictment will be more sanitized than a Walmart checkout person’s hands during Covid. They will compartmentalize like they did Ghislaine Maxwell. No other’s charged. Lone bomber, no other accomplices, nothing to see here, move along.
This fact will remain: liberal kid bombs the DNC on J6.

5 "This is a breach of the ring wall not the citadel."


For me the good news is that it seems an actual, serious siege is underway, and the ringwall is a small but genuine first success. The USAUD/NGO/Foreign Aid cutoffs are the necessary starvation steps to isolate the besieged garrison, and the endless hoax attacks in the media are the employment by onangers and castle catapults to trip and damage the seige engines. Every whistle-blower may hold the key to a postern door leading to a major breach.

The key is that the deep state feels genuinely besieged and acts fearfully, ensuring defections and mistakes.

7 Report: J6 Pipe Bomb Suspect Confesses, Claims to Support Trump Despite Family’s Business Suing Administration

9 I have heard that Cole is ANTIFA, but I have not heard that from any news outlet. I would be interested in seeing Chris Wray subpoenaed by Congress for a grilling just in general principles. He would plead the 5th or not show, but he could no longer use the ongoing investigation card, his favorite, because he is out of government.

10 I tagged the first report as Fifth Column/Antifa based on the direction of the information therein, but subsequent reports do not appear to back that up.

From Skidmark’s Breitbart link, we have anonymous
sources, which may or may not br trustworthy:

Brian Cole Jr., 30, was arrested by FBI officials at his family home in Northern Virginia on Thursday before confessing to placing the devices, which did not explode, outside the Republican and Democrat national party headquarters near the U.S. Capitol on January 5, 2021, sources told MS NOW.

The two people familiar with Cole Jr.’s FBI interview also told the outlet that the suspect said he was a Trump supporter who thought he had actually beat then-President-elect Joe Biden, though his social media posts appearing to “express anarchist leanings” have made determining a motive complicated for investigators, the outlet reported.


But the Daily Mail story referenced in my tweet adds:

The 30-year-old Virginia man accused of planting pipe bombs near Capitol Hill on the eve of the January 6, 2021 riots is an autistic recluse and ‘computer nerd’ who has no party affiliation, his grandmother told the Daily Mail on Friday.

Brian Cole confessed and told his FBI interrogators that he is a Trump supporter and holds anarchist views, MSNOW reported citing unnamed sources.

But Loretta, his grandmother, said Cole has no party affiliation and never votes.

Rather, he keeps to himself, living in his mother’s basement in Woodbridge, Virginia, where he’s been grieving the loss of his beloved pet chihuahua, while working a data entry job for his family’s bail bonds business.

‘He’s not politically affiliated with anything,’ the grandmother told the Daily Mail during an interview at her home in Gainesville, Virginia. 'He has no social media contacts. He’s never online going back and forth with politics or anything like that. He says he don’t like either party.

'He’s borderline autistic,’ she added. 'He’s slow. He may be 30, but he’s got the mind of a 16-year-old. That’s why we’re thinking - What the hell? What’s going on?’

She said FBI agents swooped in to search her office on the southern outskirts of Washington, D.C. on Thursday, the same day they arrested her grandson.

She said her son Brian Cole Sr. had a message passed to her son at his arraignment Friday.

‘We were told that the main thing he’s very upset about is that he disappointed us, that he got locked up,’ the grandmother told the Daily Mail. 'We told him we’re out here, we’re going to make sure thing’s taken care of.

‘We’re terrified,’ she said. 'They say they’ve got all this evidence. Whatever happened, we’ve still got to fight it. We have to figure out what to do.'

She said she had no idea her grandson may have been gathering parts for months to build the bombs from area businesses, stored them in the home, then allegedly tried to carry out a terrorist attack.

Cole was charged with laying explosives outside the Democratic and Republican National Committee headquarters, which did not detonate.

She said she doesn’t believe the charges.

'This young man is very calm and quiet,' she said. 'He just stays to himself. Nobody bothers him because he doesn’t bother anybody.

'He doesn’t have a girlfriend,’ she added. 'That’s how slow he is. He’s just off in a little world on his own. He stays downstairs and he used to be with his dog all the time.'

'That’s why everything is so messed up with us because he’s a good kid,’ she said. 'If you knew him, you would say that he couldn’t have done it.’

‘And if he did, it was just him trying to prove a point or whatever,’ she continued. 'He probably doesn’t even know the magnitude of what he’s done, if he did it.’

She last him Wednesday when he came to work.

'He’s a data entry clerk in the office and answers the phones,’ she said. 'He’s right in the reception area up front. We have a business, so we have to put him to work. And he understands that. He’s good with data entry.'

'All I can tell you is I love my grandson,’ she said. ‘He’s not a bad kid and he’s not affiliated with any gangs or anything like that. He’s not a political anarchist, or whatever they’re calling him. People could pull unnamed sources out of the sky. I don’t believe that. I don’t know.’

11 And if he did, it was just him trying to prove a point or whatever,’ she continued. 'He probably doesn’t even know the magnitude of what he’s done, if he did it.’

"He's a retard, but not a Walz Retard Retard, OK?"

12 tw, that description of Cole might well fit the requirements for a manipulated asset of some alphabet agency.

13 TW, I saw the same coverage. It reminds me of the media releases of the Trump and Kirk shooters. I think that they will discover that Cole is a member of some type of community. I can’t see someone with no political affiliations deciding to pipe bomb the headquarters of two political parties in DC during planned J6 protests … and then he went back to playing MineCraft. It just didn’t happen. I’m also pretty sure that Mom wouldn’t know what her son was up to online in the basement. If the reality is inconvenient, they might try the lone actor stuff, but the made up story would need to make rational sense.

14 Thank you, gentlemen, for explaining. My mind clearly isn’t twisty enough. ;-)
