They turn the lights out for security reasons. If I remember correctly the night they made Trump go to the bunker because of the leftist horde outside the WH gates, they also turned the lights out.

Just their own fears. Poetic, really.

The reason they turned off the lights during the riots was because the Secret Service owns the night. Anybody who breaches the White House parameter after dark is gonna have a very bad time.

Anybody can buy nods. If they think nobody else has them they're going to have a bad time.

Doesnt matter when fiber optic censors can locate your exact position and train various cameras directly at you.

But theirs are better and probably cost the taxpayer 50k each.

Meh quad nods are 40k and the benefits are minimal compared to night vision itself. Thermal fusion, most sof I've heard prefer normal night BB vision. You can get thermal china skeets for $4500. Combine with a high end pvs 14 for another 4-5k.

Yep bc they all have night vision, gives em a huge advantage over any threats that get inside. Question is why? What's the threat?

They’re waiting till they really piss everyone off, then they’ll send some antifa retards in MAGA hats in to riot & have the media say that if you’re pissed off at the govt, you’re a Trump-cultist & traitor/insurrectionist trying to overthrow “our democracy”. My best guess.

Not sure why you'd want to make it harder to see intruders.

Unless they break out the night vision.

Then the intruders break out flashlights and flares and molotovs.

Low lighting has nothing to do with security, only secrecy.
