So I looked into some stuff about him, including his "The Roman Road From Insurrection" piece linked below.
Moore's essay was published on January 11, 2021 and he presented a definite opinion about the meaning of January 6th.
But it was just recently revealed that there were 20 federal agents present in the crowds on January 6th. I take that as a minimum, not a maximum.
Which people there were the feds??
There are three people who have especially drawn my attention. I have no idea if they are feds or not. Probably not, in fact, but then it must have been someone else.
Philip Anderson has not yet been arrested. He is becoming influential on Gab, and is accumulating experience in talking to media.
Anderson was directly next to, and possibly at one point directly on top of, Roseanne Boyland--who supposedly died of a drug overdose.
One of the FBI agents photographed in June 2020 as they kneeled for Black Lives Matter was a woman of very similar general appearance and obese build to Boyland. Was it her???
Justin Winchell, who accompanied Boyland to the rally and protest, wore a bright blue or turquoise jacket which stood out very well on surveillance video, and which was almost unique within the crowd on the West Terrace.
Yet I still haven't figured out how Boyland got up to the West Terrace, and to the foot of the stairs leading into the tunnel where she collapsed.
There's a man in a conspicuous medium blue jacket and sunglasses on the West Terrace who arrived relatively early on, drank out of an open police water bottle, participated in some shoving with the police, and after that mostly just stood back in the best viewing position. Some of his gestures could be interpreted as hand signals. Philip Anderson passed not far in front of him as Anderson was approaching the tunnel. This man left just after Roseanne Boyland entered the tunnel.
I just want the truth, but I am still waiting for essential facts to be revealed.
At this point, the truth about January 6th is best revealed by listing the things that did NOT happen in and around the Capitol.

This song is haunting, although not directly applicable to my personal experience.
There's an interesting semi-parallel in Revelation 7:17 and 8:1:
"...and God shall wipe all tears from their eyes. And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour."
Some years back there were some public comments from famous authors about the Susan in the Narnia books not being present for the Final Battle and what followed. It was framed as bigotry against women and people of average morals.
Neil Gaiman's came in the form of a short story, "The Problem of Susan," which from an excerpt I found is apparently quite vile.
Gaiman has fallen out of public favor as allegations against him have begun to surface.
Two other authors were J. K. Rowling, who ought to know better, and Phillip Pullman, who also writes vile stories, I've been told.
Pastor Douglas Wilson has a lucid, sensitive, and rather long rebuttal to the Problem of Susan; link below.
My own, lesser contribution here, is that C. S. Lewis was a fan of George MacDonald, and MacDonald wrote some vivid portrayals of spiritual devolution. In The Princess and Curdie, Curdie was given the ability to discern which beast a person's moral character was descending into by holding their hand. In ...
