Once again, white people appropriate someone else's culture. (The insurrectionists, not The Onion)

Today is "Three Kings Day", aka "Feast of Epiphany", aka Epiphany, aka "The Twelfth Day of Christmas" (yes, as in the song). Throughout a large portion of the world, today is THE Christmas day for presents, not the 25th of December.

I don't get the plausible deniability zone part. But otherwise excellent.

I think that's what the insurrectionists are saying, they went there to see what's going on and didn't go inside the building and then left. Some were lying, of course.
