What if the people these troops in the Capitols were designed to repel were people coming to arrest executives?

Why would you stop and search vehicles LEAVING DC, and not the ones coming in?

Wouldn’t you do that if you were afraid fugitives were going to escape?

So 6 or 7 governors just agree to send their NG troops to DC because the Dem mayor of DC asked?

Generals send Stryker battalions roll interstate on this basis? Miles of 8” fencing are erected, with razor wire on top?

5 ton snow plow/dump trucks nose to tail blocking avenues all around DC, as if expecting barrier-crashing large VBIEDs?

There are 100 new checkpoints around DC, bridges are closed, ID is demanded of traffic in and out of DC?
All cooked up between the mayor and surrounding governors? I don’t buy that.

IMHO orders are coming from higher, but the higher is not Trump, the lamest of lame ducks, 2X impeached, with days to go.

So, who is the overall higher authority putting this DC militarization together in a coordinated plan, and getting dozens of NG generals to sign off on what these generals consider valid op orders?

These are orders that LTCOL adjutants bring in for the commanding generals’ hand signature. It’s not done over the phone or by email.

It’s a freaking mystery to me. But if we knew who was upstream of those orders sending 30K troops to DC, we’d have an idea of WTF was actually going on.

At this point, I don’t.

Maybe Pence? I’ve seen him on TV meeting with various people and wondered why Pres. Trump was not there. I kept thinking Pence had taken over for Trump—hope not. I also think the troops may be needed to protect Trump and his family—maybe he himself ordered them?

LOL, that dude in the long black coat and pony tail doesn’t look like a convincing Trump guy. I could be wrong, but to me he just doesn’t

To: OwenKellogg; All

Thank you, now for everyone else: class is in session...

S (size)- 6 or 7 charter buses [types of busses would help here]
A (activity) - prepositioning; turning into a side road with gas, McDonalds, and hotels [good]
L (location) - about 40 miles south of DC just off I-95 [northbound?, southbound?, mile marker?]
U (unit insignia) ? [words on busses, license plate numbers, etc(understanding you’re just driving down the hwy, but this if for education purposely)]
T (time/date) -can only assume it was at the time of these post, or shortly before
E (equipment) - Well at least you did say busses.

Again, this is not jumping on you, @OwenKellogg. just making a point. SALUTE reports, in whatever fashion, is something that Real Americans are going to need to start working on. What little information you provide on an intelligence report can help some or others totally unconnected to you.

Thanks again,

- jimjohn - OUT.

Albany: Three rings of security, only media showed up.

Priceless.

Go Bills.
