The idea of troops in U.S. streets for an extended period of time -- an extreme measure even when temporary -- has now become close to a sacred consensus.

Washington, DC has been continuously militarized beginning the week leading up to Joe Biden’s inauguration, when 20,000 National Guard troops were deployed onto the streets of the nation’s capital. The original justification was that this show of massive force was necessary to secure the inauguration in light of the January 6 riot at the Capitol.

Need more tanks. Nothing says fascist authoritarianism like tanks in the street.

El Commandante Bribem must be terrified for his life, or he would not be hiding behind concertina-wired fences guarded by soldiers. I hope the speaker and her communist bolshi-ilk are terrified and cannot sleep at night. What was left of a free constitutional republic is now being systematically dismantled by thieving fraudster communists. Do they think there will be no response? Do they think free people willingly give up freedom to violent overlords who shoot objectors in the face?

Time enough for Joe to organize his praetorian guard made up of the ideologically pure and reflecting absolute racial and gender diversity. I guess the old brown shirts won’t be flamboyant enough for this crowd maybe uniforms something along the lines of the Pope’s Swiss Guards.

The Occupation Government is acting like one. No surprises there. The silence of the media is telling, no surprises there either, although the cover story is getting thinner and thinner everyday. And people with guilty consciences are acting like people with guilty consciences.
