Biden Inaugural Like Baghdad: Green Zone, Red Zone, Military Checkpoints to Enter and Leave Downtown D.C., Bridges Into City to Be Closed
GP ^ | 01/16/21 | Kristinn Taylor

In the days leading up to the Biden inaugural, the nation’s capital has been turned into an occupied military zone like Baghdad.  Armed troops authorized to use lethal force are manning checkpoints to enter and leave downtown Washington, D.C.  Green Zone and and Red Zone perimeters have been established. Several bridges into the city from neighboring Virginia are scheduled to be closed next week for the inaugural.

Sean Spicer, President Trump’s first press secretary and current Newsmax TV host, posted video apparently taken Friday night that shows a military checkpoint to leave D.C. near the Lincoln Memorial. The video also shows cars on 16th Street near K Street parked in rows blockading the roadway. But first, a scene-setter report by Spicer’s Newsmax co-host Lyndsay Keith from 16th and K in the daytime.

Spicer’s nighttime video:

Another report on checkpoints to leave D.C., “A friend just called me from his car in DC, he was dropping his wife off at her office in NW. They had to go through an Armed Checkpoint to enter the city! Leaving the city, he had to stop at another Armed Checkpoint.
He was required to show his ID. #UnlikeAnElection”

Four of the main bridges in and out of D.C. from Virginia will be closed for 48 hours around the inauguration. Two bridges from Virginia to D.C. are not set to be closed: Key Bridge from Rosslyn to Georgetown and Chain Bridge from McLean to Canal Rd. near the Palisades neighborhood.

The Secret Service posted a detailed list on Thursday of the streets blockaded by military checkpoints and divided into a Green Zone and Red Zone.

This is why so many troops. 50,000 troops for this ceremony is dumb. But there will be 20,000 in civilian clothes looking like supporters. Some will not be happy but are getting paid to be there.

After Clinton was elected: “Those are our planes now”.

After Biden was elected: “Those are our fences now”.

I wonder how many armed A-10s and AC-130s they’ll have in the sky over DC for the inauguration.

For sure......Ben Richards will be there piloting a helicopter too...

“ OK key in on they are checking ID if you are leaving. Get it? Leaving. What do you think is happening?”

“What do you think is happening?”

Key phrase, there, GG. Key word “Think.”

What if all Patriots were absent from DC on Inauguration Day with the exception of US Military and Marshals. Like drawing DS flies to honey and $$.

Then the drawstrings on the net could be drawn closed and America could have Peace in our Lifetime.......

Oh, wait! I thought we were watching a Twilight Zone/V for Vendetta remake or perhaps the beginning of Hunger Games USA edition....

Oh well, waiting onBig Brother...Winston loved Big Brother.....

"They can ask for ID but cannot require it. If you refuse, they cannot arrest you..... They can bluster, tell you they will arrest......but legally can’t....."

The law? Such a quaint idea. They have guns and bayonets and a corerupt judiciary. What might happen to you if you refuse?

All Biden knows is that he won. His wife is raking in the money while Sleepy Creepy Joe does what the puppet masters tell him in order for his wife to keep bringing wheel barrows of cash home. Sleepy Creepy Joe is not as enlightened as people think he is. He is not in on the masterplan other than being the figure head to distract people from what is really going on behind the curtain. He is not the wizard Toto.

Articles of Impeachment will never reach the House floor to even be voted on. Just like the many Articles of Impeachment that came before it by the opposing faction in the House and subsequently died. Any attempt at impeachment will thwarted by the demoncraps. We need people in office that can hold the House Speaker position that has a spine. Trump is only one man cannot hold all of the positions, so he is out.

Biden won the largest vote count in American history.
Why do they need 25,000 US ground troops in DC?

Then they will make your life hell and FIND something to arrest you for, even if it’s a cracked taillight.
