What Happened
to 'the Storm'?

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 1/23/2021 8:50:52 AM

Despite the hype and expectations for "a storm," Jan. 20 marked another relatively peaceful transition of power, from one presidential administration to the next. Yes, there were more law enforcement than spectators at this strange inauguration, reminiscent of a Soviet May Day parade, but it was anticlimactic, at least to the many expecting a long-awaited storm, unleashed by Trump supporters, supposedly on the deep state, during former (I hate to use that word) President Trump’s final days in office.

Nobody is stupid enough to go up against 26,000 US Army troops under the control of insane old geezers who are just vile enough to order them to kill anybody with a red hat. Our time will come.

Sad to say I'm aware of everything Joondeph refers to here, so much supposed stuff going on behind the scene leading up to January 20th. The most credible thing about this "inside info" was the dims wanting the National Guard around into March, I guess they took the bait too. Bottom line, pure and simple, WASS.

No 'storm' occurred because the right deplores the tactics of the left and because the right isn't yet convinced that an armed revolution is needed. More to the point, those who were expecting a 'storm' have been listening to baloney online. Supposedly, the right called off their 1/20 insurrection because they were afraid of a dirty bomb in DC with Trump's name on it. Sometimes it seems some on the right are drunk on 'hopium'.

The absolute travesty that has happened to this country since Nov. 3 is bad enough, but gloating articles like this don’t make it any easier. If people needed to cling to hope, no matter how far-fetched, so what? You think conservatives don’t know they could be in for a disappointment, no matter what promises are made? You think we don’t KNOW that it’s likely that the Deep State will win, once again? Perhaps the author had just as many hopes as many of the people he mocks, and he deals with it by calling sour grapes. But, maybe a little compassion for people who have had every right to control their destiny summarily destroyed, by a godless, inhuman swamp of evil would be better utilized. I read all the “conspiracy” material. I thought it sounded far-fetched. But, I got tell you, I would’ve believed in Big Foot himself coming in to save the day, as opposed to the horror of the reality we now face.

I suspect the devil worshippers were also afraid of antifa and blm showing up on fauxgeration day. Totalitarians fear everyone, even those in their inner circles. FTA "The ruling class Republicans will remain in minority power, useful idiots for Democrats to use as they enact their far-left agenda and rewrite of the Constitution." They are complicit, and they are our enemy as much as the dem leftists. Can we please accept that? Accepting the truth about your enemy, particularly one you used to trust, is the first step to effectively dealing with that enemy. There's going to be one spark that will ignite the flame. There has to be something that happens to kick this thing off, but we have too many people who believe it's business as usual. The Q folks might be crazy (I don't know enough about them), but at least they know the enemy.

What President Trump already accomplished was no mere "breeze." And whining from the sidelines that your expectations weren't met? "He had them on the ropes but didn’t deliver the knockout punch. The deep state is like cancer, unless you eliminate it completely, it returns, sometimes with a vengeance." Why couldn't the naive Trump Team listen to Joondeph?! "Buckle up and pray for Trump and America." How about praying and then actually DOING something, Brian? I look forward to his future mea culpa as the "soup of nuttiness" morphs into humble pie.

Don't be fooled. There is only a displacement of the storm. National Guard with live ammunition should be gone around, not through. People are angry about this stolen election, and the response will not be a storm, but a whole bunch of bad weather taking many forms.

FTA: "Was Trump compromised or did he simply realize that the only storm was the one he was spitting into, fighting his battles alone, without assistance or support from his own party?" I would add to the sentence, 'and his own supporters who never visibly rose to his defense or used its formidable economic power against the democrat-run corporations at the center of the coup, including or perhaps led by the DNC media.'

It seems to me (out here in flyover country) that the whole image of riots on Jan 20th was a Democrat/Media mirage, composed 99.98% of smoke and mirrors. Other than ANTIFA and BLM thugs, and a few crazies, no-one was ever going to show up. It's all Kabuki Theatre.

It is depressing. We were hopeful. We are logical and good. TRUMP exposed that so much our government is an immoral den of thieves. We hoped, prayed, and called for justice. Justice was not served. Winning 2020 was the most important mission for the left by any means. We got beat back to what seems to be ground zero. We must fight like hell to get back. We have to get dirtier like them. We have to do it from the outside now. We had our 1 inside man but never many other. It was a miracle, he went in alone and busted the place up. It was a call to arms for them and they tried every thing. They are experts at fraud and the coup culminated there. I will fight like hell. I will be forever vocal Trump, i will be unswaying in the truth of the election, the jan 6 riot, and the inauguration lockdown. The children won all those battles.

I knew of The Storm but tiptoed around my initial comments. It's clear others here were aware of the possibility and I take comfort in that. Whether we have an effective response is in the air, one thing for sure the totalitarian fascists have laid all their cards on the table and have never been more exposed and vulnerable. Their trail of toxic criminality is out for all to see. Sooner or later they will pay a price. We may all foot that bill but the bastards will not get away with this.

The Boston Massacre occurred in 1770. One young boy was killed. But it was the spark that slowly, slowly led people to go more and more against the British. The Boston Tea Party was the next 'push back', in 1773, so things simmered along for three years, then, no violence against people, just against property. In 1774, the British closed Boston harbor until the tea was paid for, replaced the elected Boston council members with appointed members, more power given to the military governor and forbade town meetings without approval. In 1775, the British marched to Lexington and Concord, intending to capture "troublemakers" Sam Adams and John Hancock, and then confiscate the gunpowder and arms, thereby effectively disarming the colonists. This is the time of the Paul Revere, "On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five: Hardly a man is now alive, Who remembers that famous day and year." The people were warned, Hancock and Adams fled, guns were hidden and powder moved, and the people were incensed, and a militia stood at the Old North Bridge at Concord. This was our first standing against British troops. The British fired on the militia, and the militia responded in kind, causing the British to begin their retreat, and were harassed continuously back to Boston. Even with a British reinforcement of 1,000 men at Lexington, the retreat was a disaster, continuously attacked by militia groups, and the British running low on ammunition. The fighting in Lexington became house to house. The people were aroused and were armed. The British lost 73 dead and 200 wounded or missing in the Lexington and Concord actions and running gun battle on the 18 miles back to Boston. THAT was the event that started things off, well and truly. So, it took five years of ever increasing insults and injuries before the peaceful colonists decided to really strike back forcefully. And even then, how many were willing to fight for change? The British responded after Lexington/Concord by shelling Falmouth, Mass and Norfolk, Va from ships. Seven hours of shelling of Norfolk caused huge fires. The British had now kicked the southern states into action, too. Expect the leftist tyrants to overplay their hand in different, yet likely similar ways. These things take time to develop, injury piled on insult. We will observe and note their insults and illegalities.

Why a ‘National Divorce’ Cannot Be
Civil, but Would Inevitably Mean Civil War
7 replies
Posted by Magnante 10/15/2021 3:48:27 AM Post Reply
Many conservatives have talked recently about the need for a “national divorce” due to irreconcilable differences with the progressive left. (snip) We are talking about secession. And secession, in America, is anything but a civil or amicable process, and it’s useless to imagine it would be otherwise. It’s only truly been attempted once, after all, and it led to the bloodiest war in our history. (snip) There was war because there was a bedrock, nation-defining question around the legitimacy of state secession that had yet to be answered. That answer to that question was finally settled in 1865.

I've never watched The View other than clips of notable segments offering a glimpse into the minds of female progressive media people.

Vermont’s RINO Governor has been hailed as having “saved” the state from the scourge of COVID by “leading the nation” in high vaccination rates, but now the boondoggle of bunk COVID science is home to roost in the Green Mountains -- the state has the highest rate of infection nationally. The layers of COVID fog are starting to clear, as reality eclipses the fantastic lies of the government and medical establishment. Initially, Americans were told that natural immunity from COVID-19 was “unlikely” for those already infected. Now, it turns out it is the vaccines that wane -- 76% of Vermont COVID-19 fatalities from breakthrough infections are “among the first vaccinated.”

"Research obtained by a group of scientists shows the COVID vaccine spike protein can travel from the injection site and accumulate in organs and tissues including the spleen, bone marrow, the liver, adrenal glands and in 'quite high concentrations' in the ovaries." This is what Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology warned about. The spike proteins are not staying at the injection site and they are dangerous. Protein in the blood can be very dangerous. A Canadian cancer vaccine researcher said last week, “We made a big mistake. We didn’t realize it until now,” said Byram Bridle, a viral immunologist and associate professor at University of Guelph, Ontario.

Washington–Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has won back his full pension as part of a settlement of his lawsuit arising from his firing during the Trump administration more than three years ago, his lawyers announced Thursday. McCabe, a frequent target of then-President Donald Trump’s ire, was fired in March 2018 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions after the Justice Department’s inspector general determined he had misled internal investigators about his involvement in a news media leak. The termination came hours before he was to have retired, denying him his pension. McCabe has denied intentionally deceiving anyone, was never criminally charged and blasted his firing as politically motivated.

During the 2020 election, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent hundreds of millions of dollars to turn out likely Democratic voters. But this wasn’t traditional political spending. He funded a targeted, private takeover of government election operations by nominally nonpartisan — but demonstrably ideological — nonprofit organizations.Analysis conducted by our team demonstrates this money significantly increased Joe Biden’s vote margin in key swing states. In places like Georgia, when Biden won by 12,000 votes, and Arizona, where he won by 10,000, the spending likely put him over the top.

The number of illegal migrants released into the United States by the Biden administration is staggering. Fox News obtained an exclusive story with documents from the Border Patrol. They are being released with little or no supervision and no fear of deportation. The fact is that no matter how many times DHS Secretary Mayorkas says the border is closed, the numbers don’t lie. Since March, at least 160,000 illegal migrants have been released into the United States. There is a broad use of limited parole authority that made more than 30,000 migrants eligible for work permits
