Dumbest 'insurrection theatre' stunt of the week
American Thinker ^ | 6 Mar, 2021 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 03/07/2021 5:28:55 AM PST by MtnClimber

The relentless campaign to demonize supporters of President Trump entered the realm of self-parody this past week, with warnings that the U.S. Capitol and democracy itself were in danger on March 4 because QAnon saw that date as the real inauguration day. It was all balderdash, a PsyOp aimed at delegitimizing support for Trump or questioning the integrity of the presidential election.

Even the Washington Post admitted there was nothing to it, calling the reports a "mirage."

At the Capitol, a March 4 threat from militant Trump supporters proves a mirage https://t.co/pHUgunuHEN

— The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) March 4, 2021 This is too kind, for mirages are genuine phenomena, a product of the physics of light. This bogus warning was entirely the product of human intentions, not the result of impersonal natural forces. And it amounted to the worst sort of propaganda, intended to demonize a group based on lies, by fanning the flames of panic.

But Speaker Pelosi eagerly canceled voting Thursday because of the bogus threat. This freed up Representative Al Green, a Democrat from the Houston area, to undertake a stunt of surpassing stupidity that was taken with deadpan seriousness by much of the media. The D.C. insider publication, The Hill, bought into the stunt:

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) is sending a message to QAnon and right-wing extremist threats by sitting on the Capitol steps on Thursday, the date authorities warned militia groups were potentially planning another breach of the building.

"I want to make a statement to let people know, those who would threaten those of us who cherish this freedom that we have here that we refuse to allow those threats to negate our freedom," he told The Hill.

Trump supporters are the new Jews. Whites are also the new Jews. The Jews are still Jews.

Wether a real threat or not, madam speaker is terrified of the scary Trump supporters. She knows her party is illegitimate. She knows the people are angry and have every right to overthrow a corrupt government such as the one over which she presides. Her fear is real and deserved.

The Demoncrats want everyone to be afraid of any Conservative group so they can “protect” us from them so don’t be surprised if you begin to see state capitol buildings surrounded my military forces. When Antifa starts their “mostly peaceful protests” this spring that will give them the excuse to begin their military take over.

If Q was as big a threat as they say, they would have caught him by now.

Q is useful as a bogeyman. They are not even looking.

Q=Goldstein

Qanon is the 21st century version of Emmanuel Goldstein, the “perpetual enemy.”

Domestic enemy Pelosi is keeping the razor wires and NG there because she doesn’t want the public confronting their reps as they pass one act of treason after another. Now they are trying to make mail in voting permanent as it worked out so well helping Domestic enemy Biden illegal occupy the White house

Her default reaction is ‘duck and cover’

When your entire MO is cheat, deceive and steal...it kind’a makes sense that she’d react to things that way

When he’s not race-pimping, Al Green — who is anything but — enjoys fear-mongering. Fortunately, due to his severely limited cognitive abilities he is not as effective — or as politically relevant — as he could be ... and that’s a very good thing.

It would have been more theatrical and cryptic if they had announced it as being set for March 15. The "Ides Of March''.
