Video - They’re Stopping Every Car Leaving DC - Asking For ID
To: AggregateThreat; All
A very wealthy friend of the local radio show host (Russ Clark) texted him yesterday from D.C.
He said he had a meeting in DC and the car had to go through several checkpoints.
In addition, when he was walking, a Guard or Police officer demanded to search his briefcase.
The threat if he refused was he would be “detained”.
He said he saw about 20 people who were “detained” in the back of a military vehicle.
He attempted to take a picture, but was told it was not allowed.
If he took one, he would be “detained”.

remember the zoom session with supposed SES workers....they talked about slowing things down and that they had the “power” to change things...
Just saw this comment; so it was Saul. I like Wictor a lot better than Saul.
Oh well, back to square one!
More anecdotal evidence that the insurrection act has been invoked and the locality known as Washington DC is operating under a PEAD.
Future proves the past.
Listen to your music, that's OK. But watch out for "the brown note."
George Orwell’s ‘1984’ Tops Amazon’s Best-Seller List #2
https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/world/2021/january/george-orwells-1984-tops-amazons-best-seller-list
We’re living through an era in which novelist George Orwell’s book “1984” seems less like fiction and more like a blueprint of what’s to come.
In fact, right now, the classic novel, written in 1949, is the No. 2 best-selling book on Amazon, a platform that, earlier this week, essentially removed the conservative social media site Parler from the internet because the company disagrees with the way the Twitter alternative polices its content.
The setting of Orwell’s dystopian story is “Airstrip One,” formerly known as Great Britain, a province of the bloated and powerful superstate “Oceania.” Those who live there, according to the Audible summary of the book, are victims of perpetual war, unending and inescapable government surveillance, as well as the impenetrable manipulation of information.
Oceania’s political ideology, euphemistically named “English Socialism” (shortened to “Ingsoc” in “Newspeak,” the government’s invented language that will replace English or “Oldspeak”), is enforced by the privileged, elite “Inner Party.”
Via the “Thought Police,” the “Inner Party” persecutes individualism and independent thinking, which are regarded as “thoughtcrimes.” The tyranny is ostensibly overseen by a mysterious leader known as “Big Brother,” who enjoys an intense cult of personality. The Party “seeks power entirely for its own sake. It is not interested in the good of others; it is interested solely in power.”
The book’s protagonist, Winston Smith, a member of the “Outer Party” and an official with the ironically named “Ministry of Truth,” which wields control over the flow of information, is tasked with rewriting newspaper stories so the narrative always matches up with the leading Party’s agenda. Workers are led to believe they’re correcting misquotes. In reality, however, they are replacing fact with fiction presented as valid information.
There’s also the “Ministry of Peace,” which keeps Oceania in a constant state of war, as well as the “Ministry of Plenty,” which rations food to all citizens. In addition, the government uses its pre-approved language, “Newspeak,” to limit the vocabulary used by the people.
It’s no wonder “1984” is flying off the shelves. I have a copy of my own sitting on the bookshelf behind me.
In less than a week of time, Twitter has permanently banned President Donald Trump from its platform, Facebook has “indefinitely” suspended the Republican leader’s ability to post to his account, Amazon’s web hosting service has virtually removed Parler from the internet by suspending its account with the app, and Democratic lawmakers, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), are calling for new congressional rules that would ban “gender specific” language on the House floor. All of this has happened following a violent riot inside the U.S. Capitol that led to the deaths of six people, including two police officers, and as Democrats move forward with legislation to impeach Trump just days before he leaves the White House, arguing his rhetoric incited the violence that erupted in Washington, D.C., last week.
All of these events come as Democrats — many of whom remained silent last summer as far-left rioters ransacked businesses and set city streets on fire — are just days away from taking over control of every level of the federal government: the presidency, the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The irony of the book’s success on the Amazon charts hasn’t been lost on those purchasing and reviewing the famed novel.
One commenter, Andrew, wrote: “I can’t believe that his book predicted the events of today so accurately to the point that I am writing this review on a website that actively violates the First Amendment via censorship of freedom of speech on sites such as Parler.”
“Orwell has always given us thought provoking literature, and this is no exception,” added another unnamed reviewer. “It seems very appropriate in today’s ever-encroaching government power.”
Lars Porsena commented: “[This] used to be a dystopian novel. Now a user’s manual. It will probably soon be banned.”
There’s no doubt the parallels between the world Orwell conjured up in his mind’s eye and the one in which we find ourselves today are fascinating. The book is probably worth reading or rereading in today’s context.

You’re welcome. Reread my comment, didn’t mean to sound snippy, sorry ‘bout that.
Simon Parkes said something today that hit home. Paraphrasing: Do you really think President Trump went through all that he has, accomplished what he did under extreme resistance, just to allow the USA to be subverted and taken over illegally by domestic and foreign criminals?
We shall see, very soon.
Agree. Look at what pervs did to the rainbow!
Q before Q signed the posts did say that Trump would be protected while everything goes down, so I doubt AF1 will squawk anything at all. Probably the same with its fighter escort and tankers. Why give compromised foreign military a location to burn to?
“I’m starting to get the feeling that all of these state governments that are boarding up aren’t doing it because they are afraid of Trump supporters.”
Same here!

It took awhile by my wife came around. So I don’t need the SERC.
I’m just going to start here this morning.
SimonParkes.org has a good video up now....
I know there are fakes...I'm sure some posters here are fake as well...
I know there's psyops on both sides....
I tend to believe SimonParkes.....he says that biden may get to be sworn in but Parkes says it will be in some studio....then he'll drive up to the White house and be refused entry...at that point, the MM(mockingbird media) will have shown their true colors by purposefully airing lies...
everyone tells us to wait, wait, wait....
I have no idea why we just can't go in their like gangbusters...
but we have no choice...
I don't think Trump would leave us hanging out here in deplorable land and following Q, etc....I think he would say very clearly "thankyou patriots" "but its over"...
I trust Trump....
one more thing ..Parkes says Trump won by getting 75% of the vote.....
Nevermind the votes, they want to erase 80 million lives.
I didn’t see it as snippy
WWG1WGA
It was a direct reminder to step out of the echo chamber occasionally.
“one more thing ..Parkes says Trump won by getting 75% of the vote.....”
This was the only thing Parkes said today that doesn’t make sense. It’s almost impossible to get 75% of the vote in an American presidential campaign and no one has ever come close to that in my memory. Also, if Trump got 75% of the popular vote Republicans would hold a hefty majority of seats in both Houses of Congress.
and Mike Adams does not have more intel than Trump or C. Miller
