Let's pretend the FBI and other three-letter intelligence community orgs don't simply react to events, they are often proactive in manifesting events.<p>Let's also pretend that same community is often in the mis-information business, as it pairs well with the being proactive. That is, get the ball rolling and then stay out in front of it with (misinformation) spin.<p>Was 6 Jan ugly? Sure. Are there entities who would prefer we focus on that ugliness, and not what led to it, context, failures, etc.? Yes, of course that's fact as well.
