With 20,000 Guard troops in DC already, why would even MORE troops be called up last night with Friday morning transport orders? (semi vanity)

Didn’t say WHERE they were headed...not that I know. And it is public info that the troop level is going up in DC. Question for the thread is why, and why is Pres Trump (CIC) allowing it?

It is known the NG’s there arrived with weapons and loaded for bear.
Would it make any kind of sense for “protesters’ to show up and be taken down without firing a shot?

“I think WWII began with a German unit, dressed as Polish soldiers, attacking a German radio station.”

Yeah, and what is really eye-opening is that the Germans had already moved 1.5 million troops into position to launch an invasion of Poland BEFORE that so-called “sneak attack” on the radio station, and that the deception was swallowed, hook, line, and sinker.

“A friend’s stepson has recently gotten out of the Marines. They came and got him; he has to be at the Inauguration as a guard, I assume. I wonder why they’re using inactive Marines? I guess he might be in the Reserves, possibly.”

When I was in the USAF (1970-1974), when we separated (i.e., when our 4-year enlistment was up, and we left active service) we were still on a 2-year “inactive reserve” status, and the formal discharge did not come until that period had passed. I assume that is still the way things are now.

Biden Inauguration, a time of unity

**************

They will have accomplished unity. Some on one side the fence
others on the other side.

“Perhaps China is going to attack.”

They already have. That’s why we are being saddled with Pedo Joe.

But if Biden has no control over them being there, how does it look like a coup?

The only problem with that theory is ...it is the current President that has authority call them in. No?

“WHY were Marine reserves called up???”

Yeah, that’s odd.

In a perfect world these troops would be in place to arrest every member of the House and Senate, and everyone in the FBI, DOJ, CIA, DHS.

My question is Who exactly is calling these troops up?
Trump?, Gov?,, Biden has no power to call up anything.....

The answer to the “how can they do that?” question makes perfect sense. It’s the “Why are they calling up Inactive Reserves?” question that’s intriguing.

Hence my earlier post that such a call-up is odd.

Oh, gosh.....could you imagine the absolute freak-out in the network control rooms if the military suddenly appeared on the grandstand for the inauguration and stated arresting people?

Only the President, Congress (as a whole), or the Secretary of Defense can call up military reservists. Soooo, who did call them up???

Are these people expecting a invading force? .....

And state capitals are being enforced in the same way. Something seems fishy. I keep asking, where are web sites of Trump supporters talking about going to Washington? I have not seen any. Trump has asked us to stay away.

What is going on???
