Before presenting the question, I believe it best for the reader review the concept of a S.A.L.U.T.E. report if they have not done so before answering:
How to use SALUTE Reports
SALUTE reports include:
With that in mind, we hearing of a massive military troop presence in the District of Columbia not seen since 1861. Not to say that history is actually repeating itself but...
... I am more concerned with reports of National Guard build ups at state capitols. I have seen new reports from California, Florida, and Ohio for an increased presence in Sacramento, Tallahassee and Columbus, respectively. Which leads me to the question for those in the American audience:
Let us be reminded that loose lips do in fact sink ships, and operational security must take precedence. But with the networking abilities of Real Americans being compromised, a national pattern of activity may not be noticed or reported from a single medium, but from a compilation of multiple reports.
Please note we are NOT looking for speculation(s) here. We are looking for concrete information to explain the increasing military activity for a perceived threat (as reported by the FBI and other sources) that justifies more boots on the ground than active duty troops in 2 foreign theaters of operation at current time.
Please report back to the platform/person(s) where you received this message - AND TO OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES.
That is all.
Not so fast. You CANNOT prove that. Trump is STILL in charge.
Let’s wait and see before we make assumptions.
Some asinine protest going on in Ohio right now.
Nothing that I know of in Albany or Buffalo at this time
Several bridges that connect Virginia to Washington will be closed 48 hours for next week’s presidential inauguration.
The Virginia Department of Transportation and Virginia State Police announced Friday that state authorities would be assisting with the closures of the Potomac River spans under an agreement with the U.S. Secret Service.
Gov. Ralph Northam and several Democratic members of Virginia’s congressional delegation — Sens. Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, along with Reps. Don Beyer, Gerry Connolly and Jennifer Wexton — said in a statement that security threats called for “a response that balances protecting public safety in a manner commensurate with available intelligence about threats without going too far.”
“All of us want the transfer of power to be as peaceful as possible,” they wrote in the joint statement.
According to the statement, state police will help with the closures of the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge (Interstate 66), Arlington Memorial Bridge, Interstate 395 Bridge and 14th Street Bridge, beginning at 6 a.m. Tuesday and ending at 6 a.m. Thursday.
All summer cities were burned and looted. Demos rejected and refused NG assistance. And suddenly Democrats are devising this preposterous national military build up and linked/piggybacked on the Capitol breach.
This is for public mass consumption to construct a false narrative that Conservatives/Trump supporters are domestic terrorists requiring a massive military buildup.
It’s all theater and very very dangerous, IMO.
I believe the Aunty tiffa, and or the BM, L types have issued a threat that someone believes is creda-bull. Or, the dims in control are coming out swinging on inaugeration day, turn in your firearms, NOW.
Funny thing, tho....all of the lefty media are saying that it’s Pro-trump people planning to protest.
Only, I haven’t heard/seen ONE pro-Trump group actually calling got ANY demonstrations. Just the opposite, in fact. They’re calling for all to stay away.
Yet, the lying media MUST get their narrative out.
I just witnessed 6 or 7 empty charter buses prepositioning - about 40 miles south of DC just off I-95.
Completely empty, they were all turning into a side road with gas, McDonalds, and hotels.
There is no tourist activity going on here.

Sounds like you are describing one of the ‘pickup points’ for the Virginia Citizens Defense League (Gun rights group) members and guests that partake in the annual ‘Lobby Day’ at Richmond VA Monday.
https://www.nbc12.com/2021/01/16/richmond-office-buildings-closed-public-jan/
RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - City office buildings in downtown Richmond will be closed to the public on Jan. 19 and 20.
This includes offices located in City Hall, 730 East Broad Street and Main Street Station.
While the buildings will be closed to the public, city services will still be available to residents.
The buildings will also be closed on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
That could be it.
Yes, it is much to do about nothing, unless they have an indication ANTIFA will be rioting again. Any conservative MAGA patriot that goes anywhere other than home, to work or the store from 20 January to 25 January is asking for problems. Just stay home and follow your normal routine.
Let them call up the Guard and have their little parties. They will spend in the hundreds of millions of dollars for their little show. The NG will probably have budget issues for the next year or more. God forbid we have a real emergency.
Why do so many local news templates look exactly the same? They even feature the same nonsensical ‘general interest’ news stories.
Remember the FBI ‘predicted’ that Jan 6 was a warmup and they had ‘intel’ saying ‘WE’ were planning some big stuff on inauguration day in state capitols.
Kind of like ‘warning’ all of us over 65 that if we didn’t go hide in the attic or such we would all die from the ‘BeerFlu’
Fredericksburg?
Most likely it is Klantifa and BLM threats, but the media and demon-rats are blaming right wingers.
The national guard is not going to wholesale clamp down on their direct friends and neighbors as some have suggested.
I winder how many are looking for an excuse (maybe a positive test) to skip the party on Wednesday.
Once the communists start implementing their agendas, armed citizens will be problematic. They need to quickly come up with manufactured crises to justify the disarming. The justice department is certainly ready to go with a number of plans. CNN will provide the convenient footage.
The troop are not in DC for the inauguration, instead for the impeachment attempt of President Trump.
yes
It must be remembered that any time a government is overthrown, the military is always involved. And right now, in our nations history we see this fact being established.
Now the real question; is the military there to enforce the Steal? To complete the fraudulent overthrow of a duly elected president? Or are the Armed Forces there to destroy the insurrectionists and restore President Trump to power?
Those are the choices.
Okay
“All of us want the transfer of power to be as peaceful as possible,” they wrote in the joint statement.
Because nothing says “peaceful democracy” like 25,000 armed soldiers sent to keep the People in line; closed bridges into a ghost town; armed checkpoints; and, demands to see “your papers”.
