Something's wrong. There's too much buzz going on around the internet about crisis actors, bussing in Antifa dressed in MAGA hats, bringing in sniper towers. The left has a plan to manage the Monday rally to their benefit. So you need to outfox and outmaneuver them. Change your plan!
I know some VA organizers, or people who can reach the organizers, must read here, so please do something like this:
-
Cancel the rally, loudly and publicly, citing concerns about the threat to public safety from government use of force and Antifa. Get that narrative out there. Announce that anyone in Richmond on Monday does not represent you.
-
Instead change to something else like simultaneous county-level rallies, another city, perhaps a different day. Move your key speakers there so it's clear that's where the rally is.
-
Use your organizing structure to circulate private messages among your members and use that to do things like:
-
Have everyone show up in jackets or suits. Everyone. Have members bring extras and set up fitting areas, get everyone suited up. It's hard to sell the message that a mob of people in dress clothes are a public threat.
-
Enforce credentialing. Don't allow public attendance, just attendance of your members. Make out-of-state visitors show an NRA or other gun group membership to be permitted in, or pass a quick interview about gun culture, etc. Weed out plants.
-
Decide on a credentialing symbol, like a specific flag sticker, and have everyone who has passed through credentialing given the prearranged symbol to wear.
-
Live post to the internet to show your numbers on a wide variety of platforms.
-
Do something to be countable. Have all attendees make a donation to something your opponents hate, like a gun group or (even better) Trump 2020, so the President can talk about how much money the VA dems raised for him and thus amplify your message. Try to get as many individual donations as possible, even if it's just for $1.
-
Pass out lots of signs like "Hands off guns! Voting Republican in 2020" to connect the numbers to upcoming election results and tell VA leadership they are living on borrowed time and have to move carefully if they want to keep any power in the future.
Turn their plotting into an opportunity and suck the oxygen out of whatever nefarious scheme the left has cooked up.
Some other post thread up above just now and I agree:
President Trump should go to this rally and be the keynote speaker.
I like the spirit of it. But I don't think it's a good idea.
There are apparently a lot of people willing to go to Virginia and protest publicly for their rights. This is a good thing.
Northam is making a big deal out of this, call in the national guard etcetera. CNN in the press is going to be all over this.
This is a good thing.
We want massive massive crowds of Patriots on camera. They must be peaceful, they must be disciplined. Do not let them intimidate you into staying home, so that only left-wing activists and racist groups are the ones that show up on camera for this rally. We need lots and lots of normal Americans.
Bring lots of cameras, document everything, every bus that goes in and out take its license plates. Take video of the people going in and out, make sure that any false flaggers are traceable, so that 4chan can do their work.
Again be peaceful!
If the government guns down a bunch of peaceful protesters with snipers, it doesn't matter how CNN sells it. It will be the spark that blows up the left forever.
But again we must be peaceful. Don't go there dressed as Nazis and start firing at random soldiers. Don't let anyone in who is dressed as a Nazi or racist.
Remember the point is not to take over some Capitol building or some silly thing like that. This is a battle for the hearts and minds of 400 million people.
I pray for peace, that all America sees is a bunch of patriots who love their rights standing up for their rights, and for America to see that they are not alone.
But if violence does occur let the government be the one that starts it! And yes, this means taking copious footage to catch any potential false flaggers.
If violence does explode the press will make it look bad at first, which is why it's essential to get video out, and be ready to fight the information war afterwards. The organisers need to organize a systematic the surveillance of the entire protest. A complete picture must be available to document the events, you cannot rely on CNN Fox news or random citizens. Be disciplined be smart and God be with you!
May God watch over Virginia in the coming days.
Just you watch. If AntiFa initiates violence and innocent people die, you know how we’ll react. We’ve been waiting for these sons of bitches to go too far, and I think we’re about to see it. The President will feel great anguish, and a great righteous fury. We all will.
More than anything, we need cameras there. We need to capture anything and everything that may happen.
Antifa dresses like demons and acts like demons. What a contrast to see a bunch of godly men and women standing up for their rights, compared against them.
Just one video of an innocent, peaceful protester being gunned down by Northam and his thugs will cause a wave in this country.
Do not bring your guns, this will justify it. Be unarmed be peaceful, bring your cameras, and your faith in God.
And you were right to remember that the president of the United States is on our side. Let our side to be as gentle as lambs during this confrontation. That way Trump can come down hard in the wake of it.
Let's make the Democrats fear God again.
Remember the President can nationalize the National Guard. Pull the rug right out from under the guv.

This is the Comment to up vote. I am in VA. Nought another gun today, the store was PACKED and they are running out of stock. They have organized a bus and busses are filling fast. This is going to be a MASSIVE peaceful protest. Get there if you can.
remember the Tea Party crowds... that put the fear of God into the politicians looking over that sea of people. And then the powers that be come to crush it. Targeting from IRS being prominent. Hang tough. Be respectful. I like the "wear a suit" comment and might do that except its so damn cold. WWG1WGA
I love your positive outlook but be careful! The democrats are starting to get dangurerus and they don't care about your safety Pede...
I'm glad you people of VA are fighting back! Do you know the election for Ralph Northam was rigged right? You need to recall him ASAP! From what I hear there are petitions going around in Virgina...
Get these petitions signed and force that loser to step down!

Ask the proud boys, especially the ones in jail, how well your idea worked.
Don't just bring lots of cameras, bring extra batteries.
I vote for OP's plan. It's better thought out, more positive, less violent.
The government set it up in Charlottesville and blamed it all on the conservatives. This is Terry McAuliffe 2.
I was gonna say all they need is a scared kid like Charlottesville. Then it's all the sudden a white supremacist gathering
Exactly. And this is Richmond FFS, not little ole' C'Ville.
Same here. This is obviously a divisive issue, and I'm a bit torn between sides. I even find myself upvoting both! But I was really impressed by a former SEAL's smart, well-thought warning against going.

He's a guy of proven courage--but also smarts.
Edit: He also has good advice for those he knows are going anyway, similar to what people are proposing here, cameras, keeping your cool, scouting out the surroundings, rooftops, windows, etc.
I saw someone on American Thinker in the comments section suggest that the rally be called off, and do a GENERAL STRIKE instead. Stay home. Buy nothing, go nowhere.
This is the answer. One or two months of not buying, using, watching, and doing will put these companies who buy our laws and control us with structured narratives on full blast panic mode. Six months of continued effort will effectively put them all out of business. One year of it and we can wipe the current crop of behemoths out, and shut the invasive internet platforms down.
And after approximately 21 days, all the strikers will discover they have developed brand new habits and lifestyles, which is a very good thing for us as individuals, families, and as a nation! We'll wonder what the hell we ever bought, used or watched X for in the first place. Oh boy -- will THAT ever panic them! And it will help bring a spiritual/cultural revival! Seriously! We should do this!
You can do both.
Not working and consuming doesn't mean you have to sit down and shut up.
" . . . do a GENERAL STRIKE instead. Stay home. Buy nothing, go nowhere." IOW, have one of my typical days?
Most people and kids are off on Monday anyway.
Trump needs to stay out of Virginia. It is not safe for him to go, since the government became completely controlled by Socialist Democrats. It is lost for now.
Rooftops are a great vantage point...
