In an earlier article titled DOJ Watchdog & Other IGs Launch Probes Into Response to Capitol Riot: Questions Abound, I reported on a Friday announcement from the Justice Department’s inspector general that his office is conducting a probe into how the DOJ prepared for and responded to the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Apparently, it didn’t take long to come up with at least one conclusion — and solution.
As reported by The New York Times, Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy has authorized the thousands of troops providing security in the area around the Capitol to use lethal force. Yeah, stuff just got serious.
How much do you want to bet that the rules of engagement are much less restrictive than in Iraq or Afghanistan?

Wait! Who authorized this? How is it that the NG can occupy DC? And how does Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy get direct authority inside the US?

So where were these guys and where were these rules of engagement when Portland was assaulting federal courthouses, trying to burn federal agents alive inside? And Seattle when rioters seized a portion of the city and declared it an "autonomous zone"? Seriously, why aren't Republicans demanding an answer to those questions?

It’s all part of the charade. The hysteria is all manufactured to besmirch Trump and supporters. They are now using the National Guard as a prop in their theater.

The Generals are now politicians who have already dumped Donald Trump and sold their integrity to Biden.

The voting machines aren't the only thing in Venezuela that the democrats like.
They like lots of military personnel at political events to protect the corrupt politicians.
Demonstrate against Dear Leader at the risk of being shot.

The Democrats will be surrounding themselves with military personnel. The military will accompany them everywhere, motorcycles, SUV's. Very common sight for any police state, like the one we now have.

Doesn’t appear that any of the previous posters have spent much time understanding the message that was sent last week by the cretins who organized the charade. Had any serious group of killers actually been on site, it would have been one of the worst days in US political history. It’s still extremely difficult to imagine that the organizers (and idiotic local government) purposely exposed Congress by refusing appropriate security measures. Any hostile foreign enemy who watched the idiocy of 1/6/21 may easily conclude that American political leaders are more dangerously and foolishly irresponsible than previously imagined. This is an enormous invitation to every anti-American on the planet hoping to show that the USA isn’t what it used to be. Someone with some brains has figured this out and is in a mild panic. Having this many undisciplined weekend warriors playing such an important security role is a terrorist’s dream. The announcement of the level of force being authorized is nearly as stupid as using part-time sugarplums. Something bad is going to happen. [Wouldn’t it be absolutely AWFUL if the MOSSAD was to make the first day of Iran’s BFF President (Biden) one of the worst days on American soil?]

Hopefully there will be a carryover to 'insurrections' in Minneapolis, Portland, Furgeson, and elsewhere.

If any of those guardsmen fire on any Trump protestors, the Union is broken, and it IS war.
We the People will be cleared to use lethal force in defense of our country.

Perhaps those giving these orders should go back to 1989 and take a look at what happened to Nicolae Ceausescu when he ordered his military to fire on their fellow citizens.

They have already killed a Trump supporter without being accused of murder. In fact, the name of the officer who killed her has not been named. They got away with it once so now they have said they can do it again. I wouldn't go to this fake inauguration if they paid me. I am not even going to watch it on TV. I have to wash my hair.

but no one was "cleared" to use lethal force in Portland or Seattle all year long? Nikita Khrushchev saif it in the U.N. back in the 60"s that they will conquer us from within. bet that's not taught in our public schools. anyone who has seen and/or lived under communism has got to be having nightmares watching this as it unfolds.

No way are they gonna shoot anybody. Fake, bogus news. This is all just a part of their psych/photo op to intimidate. No matter WHAT their orders, do you really think an NG member would take a chance of ruining his/her entire life by firing a weapon---what if an infiltrator were mideastern, black, LGBQT or whatever? Just imagine what would happen if a minority protected class were killed or severely injured during an altercation? Hundreds of people would materialize swearing they heard, "Hands up, don't shoot!"
Having said that, we should definitely stay away from DC. I'm pretty worried that while all attention is focused there, someone will decide to wreak havoc elsewhere. It's a perfect opportunity for an evil mind. Stay alert.

Unless they are activated federally they are given permission to shoot citizens. The cancel culture wants to cancel some people permanently. It's a dumb Trump supporter who would protest anywhere in these times. I guess the ruse is up about opening the doors for Antifa and BLM. Biden transition will be peaceful or else we'll kill you.

Also, have you seen the pictures of all the high fencing topped with concertina razorwire? With the fully armed troops and the razorwire fences it looks like the world's largest supermax prison...which it ought to be, with the Congresscriminals safely inside. Yeah, those pictures of the fauxnauguration broadcast worldwide will give a whiff of the reality of "America under communist rule" to the entire world.
Sure, they'll believe that this came about though a free and fair election...NOT!

Nobody was going to attend this thing anyway. This is just another way of explaining why Joe Biden has no one in DC. attending his inauguration.
second somewhere in these articles this AM I read where the generals pledge loyalty to Biden. I hope that is a poorly written sentence. Pledges to a person and not the Country is very Hitler -like.

A trap for Trump supporters is very likely being laid right before our eyes. Why else would DC be starting to look like a replay of the 1930's Germany right now? 10's of thousands of troops with no exit strategy, razor wire by the mile, looks like something big and nasty is being set up.
Part of being courageous is also being prudent. I would say, let democrats have DC for that day. We have plenty of time for future battles.

How simple. They get a few of their own guys to dress up like Trump supporters and film them shooting National Guard people or vice-a-versa. Easy.
