Advice to Trump Supporters Considering Protesting His Expected Arrest Next Week, from an Experienced Conservative Street Activist
gateway pundit ^ | 3/18/2023 | KRISTINN TAYLOR

Posted on 03/18/2023 10:20:25 PM PDT by bitt

President Trump has called on supporters to protest his expected arrest next week by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on bogus charges arising out of the alleged 2016 Stormy Daniels hush money arrangement. Several so-called influencers are warning supporters to stay home to avoid being entrapped by the feds into another January 6 riot.

As one of the most experienced conservative street activists who was active in our Nation’s Capital for over a decade, I want to offer my advice on whether to go out and protest (yes) and how to do it.

First, some background. I was active in the D.C. Chapter of FreeRepublic.com from 1998 into the early 2010s, but mostly through the end of 2007 when I left the area and returned a few times a year. I organized hundreds of street protests and counter-protests against President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore and other corrupt Democrat politicians. I organized an annual protest of liberal media bias outside the White House Correspondents Dinner for about fifteen years. Through Free Republic, Move America Forward and the Gathering of Eagles, we organized several rallies and counter-rallies supporting our troops in the war on terror in the years after 9/11. On a few occasions, we acted as human shields against the violent left and radical Islamists, protecting The White House, the Danish Embassy, Armed Forces Recruiting stations and even the Washington Post. I also helped organize the FReeper inaugural ball in 2005 attended by nearly 1,000 guests or so.

We dealt with D.C. Police, Capitol Police, Park Police, Secret Service, various other federal law enforcement agencies and the military in demonstrations at the White House, Capitol, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, the National Mall, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Arlington Cemetery, the old Walter Reed Army Hospital, the Vice President’s Residence, aka “Cheney’s House”, and many locales in and around D.C.

We faced off against communists, anarchists, Black Bloc (pre-Antifa), Code Pink, ANSWER, radical Islamists, Democrats, RINOs, dishonest media and the Westboro Baptist Church extremists.

We did all that by being peaceful and behaving in a civilized manner at all times. We hade a code of conduct that served us well.

Briefly, it read, “No violence, no racism, no profanity, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.”

I would suggest you take a lot of videos so as to catch any agent provocateurs that might be slinking their way around.

Good job we have some 10KW super cavity magnetron’s available of my own design. They will fry the electronics of anything within 2KM, even that POS mobile LRAD

Interesting...

Yes, protest by not buying anything on Tuesday
Excellent!

Also, if everyone supporting President Trump called in sick that day, I'm sure it would make an impression.

It's time to start thinking outside the box.

Damned good advice, but brother in freedom, please know that this is not enough.

The powers that are arrayed against us think nothing of adopting the old terror tactics of tyranny: False charges, unequal justice, Gulag-like imprisonment, and so on.

Not to say, for one moment, that this should dissuade us, or even slow us down. Remember, they simply cannot arrest us all. Even J6, out of the millions that showed up, they managed to arrest 1000, and plan another 1000. That is a tiny fraction of the crowd.

Still, we must be mindful.

To that end:

  1. Leave your personal cell phone at home.
  2. If you must have a phone, get a cheapo burner phone. Buy it with cash. Do not allow the burner phone to be physically near your normal smartphone.
  3. If you must have a phone, be very careful who you call. Do not call home. Do not call your partner. Be very careful which friends, if any, you call. Ideally, call only other burner phones.
  4. Wear a Covid mask to assist with defeating facial recognition software. Masks are only somewhat effective, though, and should be accompanied with sunglasses for enhanced interference with the software.
  5. Be careful how close to the protest you park. If possible, park reaasonably far from the event and take mass transit (if available) or a taxi (paid with cash).
These measures are meant to help you keep your identity private. If , however, your identity is ascertained, remember this: THEY CANNOT ARREST US ALL.

I think we're about see with our own eyes and fully understand how the Nazi's were able to seize power in Germany..The only thing I've yet to figure out is, who's going to be the jew.?

The ethnicity of those young military aged men poring across our borders may be a clue. (?)

The expected Trump arrest will likely fizzle as a media story. Bragg gets political advantage locally as long as the local leftists don’t pull their heads out. However, they are always planning one more attack on us. If we go into a happy slumber, assuming the nationwide and government monsters are harmless, they could try something more dangerous. DOJ already announced 1,000 more J6 charges.

Sound advice period
I saw myself on video too many times for me to have continued doing what I used to do period
I realized I was in a seriously backslidden state for about 10 years and I no longer Go out and protest and hold with a sign
It’s fairly obvious that our nation has already fallen and people just have to catch on to that point
It never was about the election of decent individuals into politics,. It was about whether the people themselves were honoring god in their lives
We now have a federal government and many liberals in the state governments and police forces. That will do anything that the media tells them to do because the democrats and the Communist leadership of these organizations are entirely godless and they will round up innocent. People simply because you are next to them
This is what tyranny looks like and they are not going to stop, in fact they’re going to make it a lot worse
I absolutely understand that freepers and many others who were just concerned citizens such as January 6 are not the violent ones at all but it’s going to. Be antifa dressed up in magazine forms. Who are gonna be going out? Doing the things that they normally do only this time they’re going to try and blame trump support.
Don’t do this and if concealed carry is legal in your state. Make sure you are wearing your weapon because the violence that the left is planning will affect. Everyone and it will be started at random and if you’re anywhere near the riots that they’re going to start. Then you’re going to be considered guilty if it looks like you showed up just to be a Patriot.

A cornered dog has two choices.

How does a ‘silent majority’ protest?

That’s all obvious no-brainer advice. Problem is, how to get rid of the provocateurs, and they will be there, who will be trying to provoke incidents and entrap demonstrators. That’s the real story of January 6.

Prayer rally?

Instead of “protest, protest, protest” let us gather and pray on the public squares across America. Let’s gather, join hands, kneel and bow our heads in prayer. Let us lift our voices up in song and praise to our Lord to save America.

Trump is just a man, a symbol of the fierce will of a free people. But, let us not rally around just him. He, alone cannot save for us from this tyranny.

Let us rally to God, petition God, and pray. Let us ‘fast’ for seven days in prayer and petition. Let us mark this ‘fast’ with no consumption or spending in the economy. Let us not ‘work,’ but spend the days in prayer before God to guide us, help us, be our shield against the evil and make our nation Holy again.

14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

This is my prayer and my protest. Amen

Wear black, baggy, loose, poorly defined clothing with platform shoes. Wear a Guy Fawkes mask, or equivalent full face mask. Immediately and loudly (without violence or profanity, even though they've certainly earned it) call out anyone who even seems like they might be a Fed (young, fit, short hair, well groomed, encouraging you to do something that can cause escalation).

DO NOT respond to any provocation (see above); do not enter any Federal buildings, even if invited. GTFOOT ("Get The F/Heck Out Of There" if the protest seems to be taking a sideways turn.

DO NOT BRING ANYTHING THAT CAN BE CONSTRUED AS A WEAPON (pocket knife, large heavy key chain). Don't even let your fingernails grow out.

Be prepared to GTFOOT (maybe even start to get in better shape by running a bit if you're young enough). Don't get caught in the middle of a crowd where you can't escape. If you get away, you will be able to protest again another day.

Maybe sing one of their own protest songs against them ("All we are saying; Is give Peace a chance - and yeah, I know, barf-o-rama). Confuse them - chant their own slogans.

If you can, at all, LEAVE YOUR CELL PHONE SOMEWHERE ELSE. They can't track you if you don't bring your personal tracking device with you.

“Trump didn’t have that much to say to or for them for quite a while.”

There are a couple of journalists deeply entrenched in the J6 issue, and have said PDJT quietly is footing the legal bills for some of the POWs’ attorneys.

With possible cases against Trump, if his attorneys aren’t advising him to keep his mouth shut, they’re terrible lawyers.

"Kyle Becker assumes it is another Pelosi trap:"

I don't think Nancy could find her ass both hands..

Our nation is under siege, and it seems the people are too rapped up in their cell phones and narcotics to see it.

The ones who are behind all of this are same ones who engineered and payed for the theft of the last presidential election..

Those who financing the invasion at the southern border.

The same ones who brought us covid.

The same ones who are working overtime at this very moment to destroy our banking system, and our economy..

Who do you think that might be...? Who do you think would have the most to gain..? Money would be irrelevant, they already have that..

Yes.

Wide spread protests of the old types will be advantageous to the left, not Trump.

Trump isn’t calling for widespread protests with thousands of people. That’s just playing into the Deep State’s hands.

We need to move away from what our enemies expect, the same old thing.

I could post my résumé here, I’ve been to hundreds of Tea Party rallies, as has our founder. Traveled across the county dozens of times. Rallies not ‘protests.’

That’s all the past.

Sick out and a day of not spending/buying (Tuesday, Trump Arrest Day.}

It’s a new day, time to not appease the left with masses of ppl for the Weaponized DOJ FBI etc etc to round up.

They are ready to suck all the info off of your phones tablets etc all across the country.

Plus I’m sure Xi has given Biden facial recognition software to track and dox us.

Buy no gas or anything next Tuesday!

“leave your phones at home, take your signs. bus in or drop off if you can.”

And do research on disguises to defeat facial recognition.

The last time I protested was when Teddy Kennedy was speaking at the Reagan Library, and I held a sign on the corner. That was around 200, when the First Amendment was still “a thing”. Fifteen years, and two hip replacements, have clipped my wings.
