American truckers and their supporters are organizing and heading to Washington, D.C. to protest COVID-19 mandates. The People’s Convoy is patterned after Canada’s Freedom Convoy. Truckers will leave California tomorrow and arrive in Washington on Saturday, March 5. D.C. law enforcement is preparing for their arrival.
The People’s Convoy announced plans to launch a “peaceful and unified transcontinental movement” in Southern California. Organizers say their intention is to have a “law-abiding convoy” with truckers, blue-collar workers and supporters participating in it. According to the news release, they expect supporters from all walks of life. Their news release named some conservative-leaning journalists who will join the convoy to cover

There is a very annoying city kid trick I've seen over the years that might be applicable here. An enemy goes out of his way to walk toward you across large areas. He makes sure you see him and he keeps on coming. If you move, he adjusts and never breaks eye contact. At the last second, just outside of punching range, he veers off and proceeds on his way. You went into hyper vigilant mode all for nothing. Maybe the truckers could do something like that?

When Biden reads of the State of the Union speech chances are he will try to get out from under his very unpopular and really useless COVID mandates by shifting them onto the Governors to manage. As far as the fences and the National Guard are concerned, we will probably see them stay in place until after the November election as with gas prices really surging for all Americans it will quickly become evident that Biden and the Democrats are going to be about as popular as diarrhea, scared to death of the American people, and that behind their fences that the Democrats will think they are safe to create all sorts of false flag activities and operations to blame on the wimpy Republicans and especially Trump.

When the government fears it's own people, they're doing something very wrong and the people are doing something very right.
The rest is details for the historians to sort out later.

I still believe that 99.9% of all police officers in the USA are "the good guys".
Sadly, 99.9% of that 0.1% of bad cops all seem to be working for the Capital Police (better known these days and Lyin' Joe bidet's Gestapo storm troopers) these days!!!!! Murderous thugs!!!!
If you think that the Royal Communist Mounted Police (RCMP) up in Canada are the most evil police force in the world right now, wait for the Capital Police to say "hold my beer"!!!!!

The Deep State is reconstructing the Bastille in downtown DC. The truckers already said they would not invade DC but constrain themselves to making rings of trucks around the Beltway, locking the Deep Staters in DC. The Deep Staters will make the Freedom Convoy into another 1/6. Ultimately, the Freedom Convoy will park their trucks and strangle FJB's supply chain.

Botox Piglousi is having another ephinany on how to draw attention to the Jan 6 stupid commission. This is just another example of the ruling elite trying to convince the public on how wonderful communism saves the masses.

I am very concerned about this convoy. I fully support the reason for its creation. However, I expect that Biden and his thugs will do everything in their power to provoke and start various scenarios whereby the truckers will come off looking violent. Americans are not Canadians and I doubt they will take to being roughed up for peacefully protesting and this is the video that the left desires to see. They need footage of what they will then label domestic terrorists. I just don’t see how this is going to be effective when you have a police force just itching to crack some heads.
I understand we have every right to peacefully protest but I fear this may be another situation that democrats will exploit. They never want a crisis, even one of their own making, to go to waste and they are desperate to paint any opposition as domestic terrorists. Maybe if the truckers just slowed traffic down to a crawl in Washington DC and NYC it would be effective. Massive inconvenience may be a very effective strategy. I am not sure a siege strategy will accomplish what they intend to accomplish. Just like in Canada, Biden will hammer the Truckers as being the bad guys and he, of course, being the voice of reason. Bottom line: Democrats want a confrontation. They need a resistance movement to rail against and label domestic terrorists. That label equips this corrupt government with all kinds of tools with which to go after any opposition.

Personally, I like referring to the Capitol police as "Pelosi's Gespacho" BECAUSE of the misspelling. It infers "soup-Nazis". If only some reporter would ask her if that's what they have become. Repeatedly.

Mask, forced vacs, certain businesses shut down, paid government workers for staying home, media encouraged people to stay home, schools closed, empty shelves, churches closed...now they want peaceful protest to stop .. for almost 2 years they allowed burnings, cities to be taken over, looting & riots. One sided justice is alive & well in DC! DC is beyond corrupt. No way would I enter that city for any reason.

I have to add a serious recommendation to the truck convoy that I believe would both be very effective and would protect them from the same kind of fascist punishment that Canada imposed. Here it is... Do not stop... Simply keep circling the beltway! It's already a mess,. You wouldn't be breaking any laws. Just keep circling, very, very slowly. And keep adding other trucks like a tag team or a relay. Nobody could be charged for anything, and DC would be ground to a halt in complete gridlock.
Think of it as a trucking filibuster...

Who cares about city streets near the capitol. Just set up a 64 mile ring around the city on the beltway and choke it off.

The US Capitol Police entity has become Pelosi's personal Gestapo--exclusively under her control. And like James Bond, some of them like the black lieutenant have a licensed to kill--but unlike James Bond, they can even murder unarmed people. It appears that as long as they do whatever Speaker Nancy orders them to do, they are unrestrained by any law or face any legal remedy. Nancy and her select January 6 committee of rabid democrats and faux republicans need to be made to answer for their treasonous acts, but that is only a wish if a 2023 republican majority in the house is wasted by electing the same uni-party speaker from Kentucky.

Personally, I think the way to go, truckers, is to go “Galt.”

All you 18teen wheelers are the answer to a prayer. You don't need to waste your time and money trying to intimate our country's "Leaders".
Park your trucks and spend a couple days just polishing your rig.
DC will get the message in a hurry when the "goodies" they feast on every day are no longer on the shelves. You know things like, their favorite 'booze", thick steaks, fuel for the "Lexus", even a supply of arms for their security guards.
I only wish the Airline industry could follow your lead and park their planes, if only to keep their worthless soles trapped in the
Senate chambers and House of Representatives until November.

When you have to put up a security fence to protect you from the people you govern, you suck at governing.
When you continuously attempt to weaken the constitutional right of the people to keep and bear arms, you suck at governing.
Our current leadership has become more criminal-like than Al Capone's mob, because our current leadership has structured laws to benefit themselves.
May God bless and protect the truckers, and keep them safe from the knavish acts of Pelosi and her ilk.

I gather biden has no intention of talking with the truckers just like trudeau. I guess neither of them have good answers why all the mandates are still in place. Their only good reason is their lust for power. Note to so called leaders - the so called pandemic is over.

Re: poster #19, every day I wake up in what appears to be the world of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged".
And when I think it can't get crazier, it says "Hold my beer".

When you steal the American capital, you better be ready to defend it in order to keep it. The Freedom Truckers better stay out on the perimeter because that was the only mistake President Trump made on January 6, he shouldn't have been in walking distance to the democrat trap that was set. Make the Cap Cops if they have intent to present a false flag make them do it out in the open don't let them or the FBI set you up. MAGA

Gotta be sly with the plans.
Don't go near the Capitol.
Circle in and out of the Beltway.
Some truckers could circle round the dem critters home offices.

As long as it's Democrats they should make the walls concrete with no doors.
