Take this at face value, call me a glowie, or kiss my ass. Either way...
I can't speak to the individual security practices of the DC police. But I can speak to some of the technology that may be deployed. If you plan to take torches and pitchforks into DC, you already know the risks, but let me advise you of the following:
- It sounds like the president will be addressing the crowd. The Secret Service is not your enemy, particularly in the context of our visit to DC, they protect Trump and will do so with deadly efficiency. Please do not make their lives harder or distract them, we need Trump safe.
This means:
If you are carrying any gear they would object to, do not try to see the president speak in person, be outside of that "zone" as there will be extensive security screening, much of which you won't see. If you try, you will very probably be caught, have a difficult 10+ yrs ahead of you, and you will not be doing any of us any favors. Street level screening points are probably easily noticed and not passed, but screening points will probably also be at exits to the metro / mass transit, and it's a lot harder to say "oops" and turn around at that point without a spotlight being on you for being the only dude turning tail in a crowd all headed one direction.
Advice: Walk the end, don't take the metro to the last leg(s). Use good judgement. The SS wouldn't be doing their jobs if you could easily sneak past security points, anything that looks like an easy bypass is probably not there by accident.
Just watch on the jumbotrons or stay on the outskirts of DC as backup.
If it were me, I think I'd lean first toward "acceptable" tools, such as a very solid versatile flag pole, and bear spray combined with protective gear/clothing... with the more objectionable stuff deeply hidden and disguised back in the car, hotel room, etc. that can be retrieved if the tides shift and it were required. Unless you're in a very large organized and trained group, my best advice is to play it safe, at least at first.
Good Luck Pedes
AOC Style, you know they’re keeping track of us, watching for later.
Day after day, I'm seeing articles and reports of corruption and full on treason. We know some the big names (Hunter, Comey, McCabe, Hillary, etc.)... but many semi-anonymous, deep state people constantly slip by under the RADAR. They, in many ways are just as bad, and there are certainly more of them.
For example, who in GA is actually making the decisions to wipe the machines? Names. It's not "The Government" or "The Courts" it's people, deliberately, and intentionally committing treasonous acts. What are the names of the justices that are playing games and thus not seeing evidence in GA to foil attempts at SCOTUS advancement? What are the names of the accused people running ballots through machines 3000 times, mainly people that have become public figures through their actions. The people actively involved in the coup.
We need a detailed, prioritized list of those that need to be brought to justice for when the rats start jumping ship. Maybe post names and the accusations in the thread, and the most upvotes raises the “priority”.
Further, God forbid if things do go full 1776, there will be significant chaos, and in that chaos is not the time to start tossing out names and looking for people, that’s how bad mistakes are made that history does not forgive. We need some level of vetting and prioritization in advance.
The rats will be scurrying for cover, so the people will need to know where to direct their attention. Such patriots are not ANTIFA, and are not interested in burning down a convenience store, punching the elderly or overturning a car in a childish temper tantrum. If it comes to that, there needs to be focused, direct attention to bring the right people to justice and end the coup (preferably to a Military court). The feeling of chaos is already picking up, and to be successful, we need some direction and organization.
To be clear, I’m not calling for violence. I’m calling for vigilance and preparation.
(Yes, I made a new account for this ‘get yourself on a list by suggesting making a list’ post. I’ve been on TD from birth to it’s demise, and on .win for ages…)
