What Happened to 'the Storm'?
American Thinker ^ | 23 Jan, 2021 | Brian C. Joondeph

Posted on 01/24/2021 5:13:35 PM PST by MtnClimber

Despite the hype and expectations for "a storm," Jan. 20 marked another relatively peaceful transition of power, from one presidential administration to the next. Yes, there were more law enforcement than spectators at this strange inauguration, reminiscent of a Soviet May Day parade, but it was anticlimactic, at least to the many expecting a long-awaited storm, unleashed by Trump supporters, supposedly on the deep state, during former (I hate to use that word) President Trump’s final days in office.

This past week, in any case, rumors swirled of something big and stormy happening. An unprecedented number of military and National Guard descended on Washington D.C. There were fences around the Capitol and adjacent buildings. The razor wire atop the fences was facing inwards, supposedly to keep those inside from escaping.

This, a conspiracy theory went, was a giant trap for the deep state, President Biden’s inauguration luring the deep state into the witch’s oven, ready to be arrested by thousands of National Guard members recently deputized as U.S. Marshals, yet all secretly disloyal. In this soup of nuttiness we also heard that major Democrat players were already arrested, awaiting trial or execution.

This would make for a great Robert Ludlum or Tom Clancy novel but was nothing more than fanciful delusion for Trump supporters disillusioned at the president's loss.

The only storm on inauguration day was in the Oval Office as Biden signed 17 (a poke at Q followers?) executive orders or actions, promptly reversing much of what Trump accomplished during his presidency.

String pullers at the NSA, CIA, FIB and DOJ run everything.

Congress are pawns. The president is supposed to be a puppet. The Supremes are blackmailed. The “vote” is whatever they manufacture.

Ain’t leftist propaganda grand?

Nixon changed too much in office. While he had the opportunity to do a lot of good in terms of advancing the Constitutional way of doing things, he grew government instead.

BTW, “Conscience” was ghostwritten by L. Brent Bozell Junior.

“The Storm” was always a sick joke on the mentally ill.

Right on! And we prayed and are still praying for God to unveil evil. He has. . .more than we thought possible. . .. but I don’t think He is finished yet.

The book covers several subjects, from big government interfering in business, education and family, to the left invading both parties, to how to deal with the USSR and extirpating communism there. Digital text is here; I sometimes feel sad reading it because we were warned over and over.

You’re saying the media is credible because they’ve dared to oppose lizard people. That’s a very weak position.

What I’m saying is the media gives themselves away when they run a marathon of anti-Q articles in a very short period of time. They wouldn’t devote so much effort if it wasn’t real.

I think that getting 74 million—or more—to vote for the President hardly counts as “Inaction.”

Having Republican SOS and Governers sit on their duffs while the fraudulent vote counts were happening is inaction.

What I am saying is Q is garbage—and the mass media reaction to it is equally garbage.

Liberal 'elites' look into their crystal ball and tell their thugs in the press that right wingers are going to riot in every state capital... so the press runs with it.

The 'press' is all to happy to trash Joos... Tells Americans how horrible the Joos are... oh wait, I mean "conservative Americans". Hitler used the same tactics to 'unite' Germany - picked out a group for everyone to hate... and blame. And Hitler's thugs in this press carried that story - carried those lies - just like our press is doing.

It's NOT news if it's crystal ball reading by a group with an ax to grind.

“What is more likely, we get a Chinese asset as POTUS, the Military occupies DC, and it is all unrelated, or that Chinese asset is judged a NatSec threat and dealt with? Keep the faith people.”

This is *exactly* why I like following the Q threads/supporters :-). I don’t know why so many people go haywire when someone mentions Q. The people in that discussion group choose to keep the faith that something is being done.

Face it, at this time, we are SCREWED. A conservative will NEVER win another election. The Deep State owns the process now. Anyone to the right of center will not be elected after Trump.

Look at the bill the Rats just submitted ... it is every single thing they need to insure that they will control, at a dead minimum, the Presidency for a long, long time. That bill will pass too. Some of it might be unconstitutional, but that doesn’t matter to DS/Rats/RINOs.

Of course, some Republicans will run and win in the House and Senate giving the illusion of opposition. However, it will be the same old song and dance ... they’ll act conservative, win an election, find new ways to screw their constituents, and laugh their ass off at you when they’re voted in again.

I mean, is anyone here happy with Marco Rubio? Remember him back in 2010? He was touted as the future of the Republican Party, a staunch conservative, and the type of person that will not let us down ... how long did that love affair last? Six months? Am I supposed to simply accept someone like John McCain and vote for someone like that since they are the lesser of two evils? I mean, I kind of faced that dilemma with Arlen Spector in PA. What about Mitt Romney? Am I supposed to work my ass off to get someone like him elected? Or, even better, should I start gearing up to defend Mitch McConnell?

To me, thinking that things will somehow change based on the Republicans we vote into office is insanity at this point ... not Q discussion groups. I have absolutely no faith in that party anymore, and I cannot fathom how anyone thinks that voting Republican is a viable solution going forward. I am not kidding when I say I have more faith in the Q stuff than I do the RNC at this point!

If it all turns out to be bullcrap, oh well ... I haven’t hurt anyone. I will be disappointed for a little while. Life will go on. I didn’t sit here at home doing nothing but “research” the past 4 years ... I’m as prepared for hell on Earth as are most people here. I would rather see some kind of miracle than what awaits us if we don’t get one.

There are certainly idiots out there that hijack the Q phenomena and apply their own special sauce to the story ... some of them were posted here in this thread. Q never said anything about the restoration of the old Republic, or Presidents being executed w/o public knowledge, or body doubles, or kids that lived underground were moved to those ships that were docked outside of NYC and LA in the early days of the pandemic. Nothing was ever stated as a prediction save a couple of posts early on, yet everyone tends to think that Q was some sort of Nostradamus figure.

People that are into the whole Q subject want the exact same things all of us want. Why there is this constant trashing of the people that believe something is going on behind the scenes beyond me. We have everything in common politically.

Finally, I’m of the belief that if the National Guard is pulled out of DC and the razor wire cages come down, it’s over. Until then, I will suspect that something is up. Is that a stretch to believe that everything is in place for a day of big arrests? Not really ... Why would they deploy all of those troops and have them sit there for a month with no mission parameters? Are they really that worried about another January 6 (one of the biggest press-hyped overreactions I’ve ever seen).

Sorry for the long winded rant.

They’re in jail; you’re just seeing the body doubles and holograms.

I am listening to the latest Lin Wood video (1/25) and he is at it again:

https://rumble.com/vd88id-exclusive-lin-wood-i-believe-the-military-is-in-control-joe-biden-is-a-fake.html

...the military is going to save us...any day now...

After listening carefully, I am convinced he is a grifter.

He has absolutely _no_ basis for his claims.

None.

For whatever reason the Biden inauguration was allowed to happen. But the military is still in control and 25,000 troops will stay in DC for sometime. These troops are not being commanded by Joe Biden. The military refused to send a plane to pick the fool up. Trump flew to Maralago in Air force 1. That doesn’t happen. He took the football with him. My understanding is that Trump is still riding around in a presidential vehicle and taking late night flights in military aircraft.

Joe Biden is sitting in a big white cell in a deserted city surrounded by 9 ft fences with razor wire and 25,000 troops. I think everyone needs to stay tuned.

We underestimated Democrat evil and Republican cowardice.

You might have underestimated the above. But we did not. We know liberals are evil to the point of murdering the unborn and conservative Americans. They are of their father, the devil. And we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg.

Evidence? E-V-I-D-E-N-C-E?

Anything?

Nothing?
