Capitol riot: What is going on beneath the surface?
American Thinker ^ | 16 Jan, 2021 | Robert Arvay

Posted on 01/16/2021 5:11:23 AM PST by MtnClimber

Today, we are observing turbulence on the surface of news reports.

Anyone who has spent much time fishing has likely observed turbulence on the surface of the water, without necessarily understanding what was causing it. Sometimes, it is due to a school of fish attempting to escape from a predator.

Today, we are observing turbulence on the surface of news reports. SNIP What is going on?

For one, the intrusions and accompanying violence were not the work of rank-and-file Trump loyalists. Some of the intruders may have been what are called right-wing extremists, but clearly, at least some were leftists. Moreover, there was apparent complicity by some of the police officers who were assigned there to protect the Capitol grounds. And yet, even that is only surface turbulence.

Warning signs were ignored. Yes, that has become an all too familiar cliché, but various government agencies are accusing other agencies of deliberately withholding those warning signs, thereby enabling the violent intruders to more easily gain access.

Government officials are now warning all fifty states that their capitols may be the target of planned, violent intrusions — but by whom?

We who are not in the know can only speculate, but our speculations can be informed. Those of us who watched the vote-counters conceal their counting, which is the opposite of what honest officials would do, are aware that the irregularities in the process were not innocent. We may be derided as conspiracy theorists, but those who deride us cannot offer reasonable explanations for the blatant exclusion, and even expulsion, of observers from the ballot tables.

If our suspicions are well founded, and I cannot imagine that they are not, then we can only conclude, absent a full and thorough public hearing, that the Democrats stole the election. They did.

It is nearly impossible to impose tyranny on an armed population. It is difficult to disarm a population without having a reason to guilt trip them into giving up arms. A guilt trip needs something terrible to smear those who own arms. The 50 States 2A protest is a hoax. If no one shows up the hoax does not work.

Be smarter than the left thinks you are, DON'T GO.

Sound advice.

In today’s environment it would not surprise me in the least to find out that some entity has hired crisis actors to play both sides in any conflict....

Problem is not going to be like last time. They mixed in with us like they did all summer in the riots brought on by race. This time I wonder if they are able to hire small amounts of people to show up at a few states. I look to the states that sent there military to DC to help them. Leaving themselves exposed. If there is truly threats in all states why would they send there troops elsewhere. I think they have something planned and there maybe a few Trump supporters that show up knowing there is a possibility of trouble. I pray everyone is going to be safe.

Looks like Antifa is setting this up. This is not a conservative poster!

Red and yellow are communist Chinese colors. We are not a "Democracy" we are a constitutional republic. Liberty is holding the torch in her left hand, not her right hand, The stars are coming from Liberty's armpit. Upside down stars are a satanic symbol and the stars resemble the "Anarchy A". It looks like Antifa is trying to set up these 2A protests to benefit their cause, not ours!

'...I pray everyone is going to be safe....."

Do not rule Trump and our Military out at this point.

I think there was a greater reason why the Dems are so desperate to remove Trump from office with only days to go.

By the way, where's Nancy...?

With him declassifying things I also wonder. I don’t think that Trump goes out with a whimper. There is something that they are worried about. Including some republicans. They don’t have anything to convict him on with impeachment and don’t think they can push it through. They maybe fearing something going on they know about.

As someone astutely observed a few days ago, the “Top” generals use the Constitution for toilet paper. If we’re counting on them for anything the situation is in fact dire.

I agree with you that Trump is going to pull the trigger before the 20th. All these NG troops amassing are to combat the leftist goons who will rampage once Trump declares Martial Law.
A guy can dream, can’t he?

Of course, the media will NEVER report this, it goes against The Narrative: That Trump supporters - who are by definition White Supremacist Nazis, egged on by their leader, Trump, caused a violent insurrection in the capitol and must be roundly punished, Trump as well. Meanwhile, the real agents, leftist terrorists, will be quietly bailed out by the likes of Commie Harris and the local Soros-placed DA will quietly drop all charges - while demanding 10 year prison sentences for ANY Trump supporters who are hauled into court.

Unless the plan is to have a Lee Harvey Oswald type stooge positioned to take out BiteMe and pin it on right wing extremists.

Joe has always played the part of stand in. Now is no exception.

The “Top” Generals also report directly to SecDef...who Trump recently replaced, as well as placed Specops troops directly under his command.
