My take on Nat'l Guard presence in DC
1/19/21 | Vanity

Posted on 01/19/2021 7:29:15 PM PST by agatheringstorm

Many have offered up reasons for the military buildup all over the country, including over 26,000 in DC alone. I've pondered this for days and here's all I've been able to come up with:

1. You don't need 26,000 national guard troops to guard DC.

2. The people from Jan. 6, whichever sides they were on, are not hanging around for another run at the Capitol.

3. I do not believe the theory that these troops are there to round up all of the leftist criminals and send them to Guantanamo.

4. The only logical explanation is that this a show of force by the new regime. This still seems like overkill. Note that they're now vetting these guardsmen and have rejected two of them for "far-right connections."

5. You don't spend this kind of money and show of force for a single event if you can kill several birds with one stone. I theorize that the Biden administration is going to be making several highly consequential announcements in the first week of his presidency, and these will all be highly unpopular with about 50% of the country. THIS is why the troops are necessary in DC and throughout the country. We're being told about some of these announcements, but let's see what all gets slapped down on the Oval office desk in the next 14 days. Whatever is coming down the pike, the Leftists are worried that the citizens will revolt as the tidal wave of leftist gobbledygook is rolled out.

Does anyone know when the troops are supposed to leave? If what I said above is true, they won't be leaving right away.

Hillary is going to be there as a guest of Nancy Pelosi. 20,000 National Guard will be providing drink service Hillary thinks all service members are her servants.

Its all theater to reinforce the idea Republicans and Trump supporters are violent evil people.

Only a few billion was spent.

Everything you see is part of the psyop. Fear pron.

President Trump controls the military

You sure about that?

Yeap.

The Great Lie has two parts. The first is that if they don't protect DC, then the ‘insurrectionists’ will come back. The second part of the Great Lie is ‘if they weren't worried about the insurrectionist, then the inauguration would have had a billion people at it.’

Next year at the presidential address, will we see a parade of missiles, tanks, aircraft, and polished goose-stepping troops? Will Biden watch while wearing a medal-laden military uniform?

Interesting conversation with the wife of a National Guardsman. She was pretty upset and said her husband was called up about a week ago to our state Capitol. She said this wad the first time in his over 20 years he got orders to deploy with NO END DATE. What’s up with that?

I suggest nothing and I am too old to do anything, so whoever is monitoring us for the government can ignore me.

But for a history lesson:

Audie Murphy was the most decorated hero of WWII,

Here is a description of one of his most famous acts.
https://audiemurphy.com/places015.htm

That was a long time ago and my memory may not be accurate, but I think most of his heroic acts were as a foot soldier.

My point is that a good man with a good rifle is not to be trifled with.

Murphy was the recipient of 33 medals from a half dozen countries.

Died in a plane crash because the charter company sent him on a flight piloted by an incompetent pilot not instrument rated in weather that would have been a good ride with the proper pilot.

Very sad.

It’s not the only logical explanation.

Another is that Trump wanted to guarantee that Pelosi couldn’t pull a false flag and become president.

Just sayin.

Or it could be as simple as another FReeper stated: Trump trusted the American people; the left - Harris/Biden included - do not.

“they are coming right at us and will use Americans to kill Americans. Afterall, it wouldn’t be the first time it has happened in world history.”


Nor the first time in American history when considering Mr. Lincoln got 700K Americans killed by the hand of other Americans.

Giving way too much credit to people that have no issue spending vast quantities of money on photo ops . They’ve served their purpose so off they must go so as to not spoil the big party.

Nope—They are not that stupid. Arrest Trump and he become a new Nelson Mandela—an icon. Worse kill him and he become a holy figure worse than the living Trump who is a man—not a demi-god. Their arrogance could well spell their doom.

I believe you are more correct than those who claim that Trump has them stationed there for his purposes and somehow he’s going to miraculously sworn in tomorrow for four more years.

We hear a lot about how many gun owners are in the US.

It doesn’t matter.

The only ones who matter are the ones willing to actually fight, and from what I’ve seen, Antifa has more.
