Virginia Rally Monday may have Antifa thugs bused in (my title)
self ^ | 1/17/20 | Tom DeWeese

Posted on 01/18/2020 7:22:41 AM PST by blueyon

"""I’m in Richmond and have just received information from a very reliable source concerning Monday’s rally against the legislature’s gun grabs. Antifa have rented seven buses to bring in their thugs to cause trouble. The report says they will be wearing MAGA hats and wearing NRA garb. They will pretend to be pro gun people. Meanwhile others posing as democrats holding anti gun signs will stand on the side. The Antifa thugs, pretending to be pro gun , will attack the sign holders. Making it look like the pro gun people have started violence. This is the plan. If you are attending the rally be aware. Be very careful."""

False Flag events will be common in Richmond. Liberals will dress, act, or carry signs proclaiming their stereotypes of us and do bad things so we get blamed.

Typical Democrat Party shenanigans.

Sic the psychos on the normal people (who “coincidentally” have been forbidden to carry firearms.)

I agree with Matt Bracken, there is NOTHING to be gained by showing up for Lobby Day.

Pursue local Town Halls and move towards the Gold Star standard, as Dr. Edwin Vieira asserts, "to bring the Unorganized Militia" back into county statutes." I am paraphrasing, but this act is the best way to roll back the clock to 1775.

We MUST leave no later than 2:00 am and aiming for a 1:45 am departure so we will have time for stops, anticipated traffic, pick ups in Chilhowie and Marion, as well as entry/parking in Richmond which will be quite crowded. Get plenty of rest while riding! We are traveling a great distance to get to our Capitol.

Additionally, I wish to thank the volunteer drivers for their help in this event. If you are also interested in volunteering to drive to help others we would surely apppreciate it.

The rally in Richmond has all the hallmarks of a set-up. Yes, the current government has far overstepped the bounds of the rule of law and are deeply within the current flowing towards full tyranny. Yes, the people have a right to object to and protest this abuse of liberty and freedom. Unfortunately, the state government, the liars in the media, and the paid provocateurs lurking behind the scenes have control of the situation on the ground and will manipulate this situation to manufacture the optics they want to create.

I lived through the Ferguson riots and saw how these despicable people act. Ferguson has not been in the national news for a long time. Why? Because the good guys won. Unlike Baltimore and other places that have been subjected to these attacks on the freedom of the individual, Ferguson is recovering nicely from the assaults of five years ago. Why was Ferguson not destroyed by these Alinskyite attacks? The amount of prayer cover over this city was astronomical.

The evil players in the unfolding Richmond saga are expecting this battle to go according to their script.. Their plan is for freedom-loving and defending citizens to walk into a trap that will provide the opportunity for a horrific false-flag attack. Don’t give them that victory. While I am very aware of the overall tactics of Alinsky disciples, I know nothing about the specifics of the city of Richmond. However, I am confident that there are a large number of Bible-believing churches (not liberation theology, SJW fronts) in the Richmond area.

The best, on-the-fly reaction to the steps taken by the unfortunately legally elected government of Virginia is to switch the rally from being held in the Northam-devised kill box to the various churches, coffee shops, hotel lobbies, and other sites in the area. I saw God do things that were impossible for the good citizens of Ferguson to do and the results were amazing. God loves Richmond just as much as He does Ferguson and, if His people will ask, He will provide incredible answers.

Multiple gatherings of Bible-believing, God-trusting patriots, in diverse places away from the pre-planned targeted area, will produce a countermove to Northam’s evil plans in such a way that the country will be astounded. By all means, go to Richmond and make your voices heard. Just don’t walk into a pre-planned kill zone. Join with other believers (Where two or more are gathered in my Name, I am there, too) and ask God to intervene in ways you cannot. You will witness miracles.

Yeah, this is just a trap.

My advice would be to ring the controlled area, do not go in.

As soon as you hit some perimeter of theirs stop and spread out laterally.

Let the tee-tee’s go in and stand around looking at each other.

If the LEOs are set up to cover the controlled areas this will totally sidestep any “plans” they may have concocted.

Folks with decent cameras should photograph the LEO’s lift and shift attempts and then immediately withdraw and preserve the photographs and video.

I’d continue to marshal our forces for maximum effect at local county and city council meetings. The 2A sanctuary county movement has been extremely effective at getting positive attention through this means. We should keep attending every local political meeting in force. Make your local politicos feel the heat. Keep pressing at the county and city level. Experiment with holding “unorganized militia” flash mob events. Be imaginative, and always use friendly local terrain to your advantage.

And I’d arrange other types of demonstrations, also on favorable friendly ground, using social media to distribute a strong message. For example, groups can hold and film what I would call “William Tell” events, where local shooters rendezvous and get on the firing line together for firepower demonstrations. The combined sound and fury of fifty or more semi-auto rifles banging away against steel targets at 100 yards would be very impressive, especially if different counties held similar demonstrations on the same day, all filmed and then combined for upload to the internet. The point is, if we want to demonstrate our strength, do it on friendly ground, using technology and social media to spread the message.

For our side, downtown Richmond is the worst terrain possible for an angry showdown. Does anybody really think that there will be a positive political outcome when thousands of pro-gun folks take dozens of buses and hundreds of cars and trucks into downtown Richmond, to try to change the minds of the very politicians who already hate their deplorable stinking guts? That’s just foolish, in my humble opinion.

Yes, and some of the agent provacateurs may be Fed or State operatives, as well. Normally, I would say that backing away from what should have been a lawful lobby day is a defeat, but this has become a planned disaster where the Dems and the rest of the crazies want major confrontation. VCDL would be well advised to pull the plug for another day, but it likely too late to stop the whole machine that is in motion to organize and bring thousands to Richmond.
