So this permit was sought almost certainly because Allie knew fully well that he would never be able to get a permit himself and that the Stop the Steel rally would never be approved since the limit for a permit on that lot is 50 people. It stands to reason that Allie had used a dummy organization to have get a permitted spot where he could then do a pop-up Stop the Steel rally.

You get a pretty strong sense that what was going on is a bit shady, and if I had to make a bet, I would say that Ali and the folks with One Nation Under God, that rally, they were lying to the Capitol Police in order to have a permit for a rally they knew in advance was going to get out of control. Even if the Capitol hadn't been stormed, if Allie's rally had attracted the crowd that he was clearly planning for, the Capitol Police would have been overwhelmed and it would have turned ugly.
