Capitol attack was premeditated and blame poor preparation on lack of intelligence

It seems as though there are only two conclusions.
One, our intelligence agencies are simply not very good.
Two, they knew about it in advance and let it happen.

All four security officials responsible for the response to the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6 testified that they believed the attack was premeditated, but two blamed not receiving intelligence for delayed and unorganized responses. The head of Washington's police department defended the law enforcement response to the U.S. Capitol riots, saying District of Columbia officials were not warned about the potential for violence despite federal officials' claims that local officials could have been better prepared. "The intelligence was not that there would be a coordinated assault on the Capitol, nor was that contemplated in any of the interagency discussions that I attended in the days before the attack," Irving said.

Government agencies don’t seem to attract the best and brightest

Our guys should have anticipated ANTIFA and other instigators raiding the capital to make the Trump supporters look bad. The physically toughest among us should have organized to protect the federal buildings.
But, who really would have anticipated such a weak response from the police and federal security?
The left and oligarchy planned out this whole election really well. I understand they "war gammed" every scenario that could happen pre and post election.
We got our asses kicked due to evil, smart people who treated the election as a war and began planning for it from the date Trump got elected in 2016.

There is no doubt they had every scenario covered, but I’m still not discounting how much illegal activities contributed to Biden’s win.

Could be. But as usual, we will be given a multitude of excuses why it happened, promises be made to improve in the future, nothing will happen and no one will be held responsible.

We can argue about semantics, but there were officers injured and there were some violent actions.

It’s easy to blame a lack of intelligence here.
Nancy Pelosi helped turn down reinforcements for “optics” reasons. Doesn’t sound intelligent to me.

Can apply to, IMO, most of the plausible conspiratorial events in our history back to the USS Maine.

Our IC bureaucracy controls this country. They are the most intelligent of the bunch. They set the board.

It was not an "attack". Seattle, Wisconsin, DC in July were attacks. This false narrative bullshite is so irritating. If the people who gathered (up to a million strong) wanted to attack DC, the likes of ANTIFA, there would be nothing standing in that city. Instead, you got a bunch of photo ops of people walking around the capitol building. So scawwy!!!

I can understand your reluctance to use the word,” attack” because it’s perpetuates a somewhat skewed narrative, but you are almost placing yourself in the same category of misinformation as CNN and their,” mostly peaceful protest.”
There is video of police officers being knocked over and pushed back. There is video of barricades being used as weapons. There is video of people breaking windows and forcing themselves into the Capitol.
So while yes, attack my be strong wording, this wasn’t all a casual tour through the Capitol.

video of Antifa people breaking windows and forcing themselves into the Capitol. The misinforming of Americans as to who did what is the problem. This went as far as blaming the out going president(impeachment) and people who support America, not just Donald Trump. It is an ongoing campaign to not only render their voices mute but accuse them of acts not near the actual attacks on citizens across the country by others.
