in DC. You can watch the documentary

Actor Nick Searcy's Movie 'Capitol Punishment'
Is the Best Documentary
About Jan. 6. He'd Know, He Was There.
Nick Searcy was at the huge Trump
rally on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C., and was so unnerved and shaken by
what he saw that day that he made a movie about it. The
actor/producer/director’s movie, Capitol
Punishment, is the most complete story about that day and its
aftermath that anyone has attempted to date. It’s a must-watch, even if you
think you know all there is to know about that day.
Searcy is here to say that you
don’t. He says it with a knowing wink and a rueful laugh.
The actor, who stars opposite
former Mandalorian actress Gina Carano in the upcoming film Terror
on the Prairie and who’s appeared in some of the biggest Hollywood movies,
including The Shape of Water, Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing,
Missouri, Moneyball, Cast Away, and Fried Green Tomatoes and
co-starred in the hit television FX series Justified, knows something
about stagecraft.
But he was stunned at the
stage-crafted events of Jan. 6.
“Everything that we are being told
[about Jan. 6] is a lie and Americans are being persecuted to support that
lie,” says Searcy who features national security experts in the film who attest
that the assault on the Capitol for political ends “was years in the making.”
Searcy’s idea for the movie with
filmmaker and director Chris Burgard began when the two men attended the Jan. 6
rally because they “believed the election had been stolen” stolen from Donald
Trump. Searcy told me on my Adult in the Room Podcast that they
figured any story they told would be about the typical anti-Trump media
malpractice. But, he told me, that idea went out the window when they
witnessed agents provocateur pretending to be Trump supporters.
After the rally, Searcy and Burgard
began to see footage of police admitting rally-goers and protesters into the
Capitol Building, video of Antifa provocateurs changing clothes between black
bloc and MAGA clothes, and video of a notorious Leftist militant who trains
activists in violent tactics and who worked with government workers to take
over D.C. buildings beginning on Election Day. In the documentary, Searcy shows
an organizing Zoom call in which professional protest provocateur, Lisa Fithian,
urges her co-conspirators during a Zoom call to shut down the Capitol. She told
them, “we are going to be in crisis but we want it to be one that we’re
creating. Whoever’s got the guns can win. Let’s take over the buildings.” Her
tactics look an awful lot like what happened on Jan. 6.
Searcy is unsparing in his
treatment of these questionable activities leading up to and on Jan. 6, 2021,
and the prosecutions of people who were either invited into the Capitol or who
stepped over an imaginary line where a fence delineating a no-go zone had been
taken down by early provocateurs such as Ray Epps. You’ll hear of the FBI raids
at their homes, the handcuffing of their children, and the inside story of the
life of Ashli Babbitt from her husband, Aaron.
He is outraged about the Trump
supporter’s shooting inside the Capitol. He wants answers to his questions
about why Lt. Michael Byrd “just shot her” without warning. “If he was going to
stop people from coming in,” he asked me, “then why didn’t he train his gun on
the people who were breaking windows right in front of him? There was no
evidence that she had a weapon, there was no reason to think she was a threat.
… Those windows had been broken out and he could have said something at that
point [as a warning] ‘if you come through that window I’ll shoot.'”
And who was in front of him
breaking the windows? John Sullivan, another Antifa/BLM provocateur who stood
next to Babbitt, urging her and others to go through the broken windows and
into another part of the Capitol. He recorded and live-streamed her killing.

Searcy believes organizers “wanted a bigger massacre.”
“That’s the real cynical view of
that killing, is they wanted more people dead,” he said.
Lives lost. Lives ruined. A
president’s legacy muddied. And a government arrayed against them. Searcy tells
it all.
He says the question isn’t whether
you believe that he convincingly lays out the case; it’s how you could believe
the FBI, Justice Department, and political actors are incapable of pulling off
such a caper. He points to the Russian “collusion” hoax and other incidents in
his movie as exemplars of such gaslighting and perfidy by the feds.
Searcy’s film was released in
November, and one wonders how such a quality product was conceived and produced
in under a year.
The first anniversary of Jan. 6
passed in ignominy, complete with stage-crafted Washington outrage, but don’t
forget the real story.

Oath Keeper.
