I watched the movie ‘Peterloo’ last night. No particular reason. Was just skipping through the vids looking for something to watch and thought this would be worth viewing:
After having just written a Substack post on the alleged ‘violent insurrection’ of J6, I noted immediately the uncanny similarities with the mass wounding and killing of peaceful protestors (men, women and children) at St Peter’s Fields, Manchester, England in 1819, by the British state, supposedly to prevent a ‘violent insurrection’, (which they did their best to encourage) with the events which happened at the US Capitol, just over 200 years later. Of course the circumstances are very different, the grievances differ and the comparison only goes so far, but the similarities run far too deep not to mention. In particular, the state actors are uncannily similar and I believe this is no coincidence - the US deep state is peopled by exactly the same sort of characters as those who ruled the British empire and the domestic state with an iron rod in the early 19th century; the same sickening sense of entitlement, same corrupt, dismissive approach to legitimate dissent of the oppressed masses, the same warped ideological attachment to the assumed supremacy of the elite ruling classes. Hell, many of the Democrats/RINOs and Uniparty apparatchiks who conspired to manufacture the illusion of a violent insurrection at the Capitol are probably distantly related to their British cousins who did more or less the same thing at Manchester in 1819!
So, we’re putting you autocratic, dictatorial, fascist rabble on notice: we see you, and we saw you. This ends soon, one way or another. History is no longer on an indefinite repeat loop.
A Brief History of the Peterloo Massacre and the Events Which Led up to it.
Here’s a short explanatory video:
Here’s a longer one:
For those who prefer to read, this account by the British library is fairly comprehensive and enlightening:
Why were people protesting?
Since the end of the Napoleonic wars in 1815, increasing numbers of working people in industrialising yet disenfranchised areas like Manchester had become involved in the movement for reform. Under the influence of men like Henry Hunt and the journalist William Cobbett, they began to campaign for universal suffrage. They argued that extending the vote to working men would lead to better use of public money, fairer taxes and an end to restrictions on trade which damaged industry and caused unemployment. Only a minority campaigned for women to have the vote, but women were nevertheless active in the movement. In 1819, women in and around Manchester had begun to form their own reform societies campaigning on behalf of their male relatives and vowing to bring up their children as good reformers. Many of the Female Reformers appeared at the meeting at St Peter’s Fields dressed distinctively in white as a symbol of their virtue.
Suppressing the protesters
Despite the seriousness of the cause, there was a party atmosphere as groups of men, women and children, dressed in their best Sunday clothes, marched towards Manchester. The procession was accompanied by bands playing music and people dancing alongside. In many towns, the march was practised on local moors in the weeks before the meeting to ensure that everybody could arrive in an organised manner.
According to local magistrates, however, the crowd was not peaceful but had violent, revolutionary intentions. To them, the organised marching, banners and music were more like those of a military regiment, and the practices on local moors like those of an army drilling its recruits. They therefore planned to arrest Henry Hunt and the other speakers at the meeting, and decided to send in armed forces – the only way they felt they could safely get through the large crowd.
People who were already cramped, tired and hot panicked as the soldiers rode in, and several were crushed as they tried to escape. Soldiers deliberately slashed at both men and women, especially those who had banners. It was later found that their sabres had been sharpened just before the meeting, suggesting that the massacre had been premeditated.
The Mike Leigh film goes into a lot more detail about the grievances of the working class people involved who were literally starving due to poor wages and government limitations on the importation of foreign grains - the Corn Laws - which inevitably led to an increase in the price of basic foods. They had no vote and they wanted to get rid of the elitist politicians who were oppressing them - via peaceful, legitimate means. The J6 protestors had their legitimate vote stolen from them and they weren’t dirt poor or literally starving due to the cost of food - but three years of Resident Biden and that’s changing fast.
Like Peterloo was exposed by the legitimate British national press, who at that time actually did their job by holding the government to account for its crimes, Tucker Carlson and Fox News exposed the lie that is J6, where the ‘violent insurrection’ was staged mostly by government undercover federal operators and the vast majority of the protestors were peaceful and orderly. But Fox News are now getting cold feet after having been warned off by Schumer, so it’s down to Carlson himself to take the revelations to the next level. At least, this is what the 2nd Smartest Guy in the World is saying:
This article was started four days ago, when Tucker Carlson promised to release far more damning evidence from the J6 video footage throughout the remainder of this week. Since then, this substack has been awaiting Tucker Carlson’s followup reports which have to date been censored by FOX News.
Tucker Carlson assured his viewership yesterday that he will release all of the evidence even if his network continues denying him his journalistic rights, and subverting his employment contract which stipulates that he has final cut on his news stories.
In the meantime, what Tucker Carlson has managed to release offers irrefutable proof that the MSM and the Uniparty are all actively working against We the People.
Our politicians are not just mendacious malefactors that are subverting the very Constitution that they swore to uphold, but they continue to lie after they have been caught fabricating J6 “evidence” in their kangaroo court. Video footage literally shows the exact opposite of what they have been peddling for over 2 years now. Not a single police officer died on that day, despite the claims that 5 were murdered, and yet 5 innocent protestors were killed on that day. This is the very same reality inversion that was perpetrated during the COVID-19 scam, and the associated slow kill bioweapon injections that are still being touted by these very same grifter politicians as “safe and effective.”
The only violent elements of the J6 protest were the FBI and CIA agents that were embedded as agent provocateurs; in other words, Federal government operatives broke all kinds of laws on January 6th in order to entrap innocent patriots peacefully and rightfully protesting an unlawful election. And this election theft was in no small part made possible by the very agencies that had deployed their taxpayer funded saboteurs to the J6 protests in order to ensure the optics of “domestic terror” violence, thus attempting to further strip away all legitimacy to the claims that the elections were stolen.
I particularly recommend 2SGITW’s description of Biden:
The installed senile adult diaper shitting ice cream licking pedo criminal puppet is nothing more than a placeholder for Obama’s 3rd term.
Stunningly accurate. Not a lot different from the Prince Regent in England in 1819, who oversaw the wounding and massacre of his disaffected subjects.
No police officers died at J6. Five protestors were killed. The opposite of what the Demorats and Rinos have been claiming for two years as they left innocent protestors rotting in solitary confinement for two years, having been denied a trial date and denied their constitutional rights. As Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote, it’s now time to rise up (peacefully, but forcefully) like lions after slumber:
Percy Bysshe Shelley, on hearing news of the massacre while in Italy, called for an immediate response. His poem ‘The Masque of Anarchy’, encourages reformers to ‘Rise like lions after slumber, in unvanquishable number’ (stanza 38). He sent the poem to Leigh Hunt in London, who cautiously refrained from publishing it. The satirist William Hone had no such qualms. His Political House That Jack Built (1819), illustrated by caricaturist Cruikshank, neatly sums up the reformers’ grievances in his typically irreverent manner. The piece was wildly popular, reflecting both the extent of anger over Peterloo and the cleverness of using a well-known nursery rhyme to make a serious message widely accessible. Radical propaganda often veered between respectability and audacious humour, the latter, of course, being much harder to prosecute in court for fear of provoking hilarity.
Yep, I definitely think that J6 is America’s Peterloo moment.

This is what Stew Peters thinks. Agree 100%.

Carlson has obviously been prevented from releasing further footage and commenting on it. I doubt that he is OK with that. Some may maintain that he is, and that this was the plan all along. But this is what has happened. So the 'release' of the tapes by McCarthy has only resulted in the public being given a taster of the truth, not the whole truth. It is now obvious that these tapes should be made public. They are too hot for any one person or organisation to be made responsible for their controlled release to the public. It's going to be very interesting what happens next.
