🚨BREAKING🚨: (Never-before-disclosed information about the J6 pipe bomb investigation begins in paragraph 5, below.) While the GOP grassroots, conservatives, MAGA, America First, and their variously preferred “influencers” appear “united” in tearing each other and their former coalition apart, a real curiosity has become increasingly apparent in the Black civil rights community. Almost without exception, the most visible and outspoken Black political activists have remained completely silent on the case of Brian Cole Jr., the autistic Black man accused, arrested, and jailed without bond by the Trump Department of Justice as the alleged January 5–6, 2021 pipe bomber. Sources within the Cole camp have told me that all of the most prominent voices in Black media, podcasting, and civil rights activism have been contacted about Cole’s case. While a small handful initially expressed interest in covering it or speaking out on his behalf, all have since “ghosted” them and no longer return calls or messages. What’s going on? This is a group of political activists almost entirely unified in their opposition to anything the Trump administration does. They are equally unified in their readiness to speak out, rally, march, protest, and even call for civil disobedience at any perceived misstep or civil rights abuse by law enforcement or the judicial system against people of color — even when those alleged abuses involve individuals with long and violent criminal records. By contrast, Brian Cole Jr. has no criminal background, has never been in trouble, and comes from a family with a long history of voting exclusively for Democratic Party candidates. Furthermore, Cole’s arrest bears all the earmarks of a classic scapegoat cover-up operation. Nearly five years after @FBI built a case file on Cole — apparently dismissed for lack of prosecutable evidence — the FBI and @thejusticedept did not revisit that file “with a new set of eyes” until after I named a WHITE former cop (now working for the CIA) as a possible forensic match to the mysterious gray-hooded figure who planted the two suspicious devices at the RNC and DNC headquarters the evening before the January 6 riot. According to Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) — the congressman who has spent the most time investigating all things related to January 6 — the FBI had two eyewitnesses who described the January 5 pipe bomber as a “white male.” Loudermilk revealed this in a televised committee hearing early this year. Rep. Loudermilk already knew I was on the right track in connecting the pipe bomber both to a WHITE person and to the @CapitolPolice. For the first time, I am revealing the contents of a private conversation I had with Loudermilk after my November 5 morning appearance on the Glenn Beck Program, where Glenn and I discussed our forthcoming November 8 story on @TheBlaze, in which we named our “person of interest” in the January 6 pipe bomb saga: a WHITE former COP with the U.S. Capitol Police. This was a text exchange between the congressman and me. (I will share screenshots of the entire exchange if forced to.) Here are his abbreviated remarks: LOUDERMILK: “You are about to shake the world!! … We had recently uncovered some evidence that was leading us in the same direction. We need to talk face to face; I have info that can fill in the gaps … Will need to meet to discuss. It is circumstantial, but it points to USCP involvement.” (I will also reveal what that “circumstantial” evidence of Capitol Police involvement is, in very short order. It is time, and it is quite “substantial.”) What more does the Black civil rights community need to rise up against this abuse by our Department of Justice? We have a young, special-needs Black man falsely accused by an FBI that already knows a white person planted the devices. We have congressional investigators who had already tied the gray-hooded bomber to the Capitol Police — even before my team and I independently made the same connection. In short: A Black man is being framed by Trump’s FBI and DOJ to cover up the illegal actions of a white cop. Dear God … what more is needed to call citizens to the streets of D.C. to protest this obvious injustice and cover-up? Where is … BLM? The NAACP? The National Urban League? Rev. Sharpton’s National Action Network? The Equal Justice Initiative? Fair Fight Action? Benjamin Crump? Pod Save the People? NPR’s Code Switch? The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne tha God and his crew? Roland Martin Unfiltered? The Root? The Grio? BET? Ebony? Essence? Blavity? Vibe? Black Agenda Report? Dr. Rashad Richey? Stephen Smith? Steve Harvey? Don Lemon? Oprah?
