25,000 Troops, Officers Securing D.C., Joe Biden Inauguration — 5X as Many as Stationed in Iraq, Afghanistan
Penny Starr 14 Jan 2021
The Pentagon is putting 20,000 National Guard on the streets of D.C. in the wake of the assault on the U.S. Capitol to support Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Capitol Police for the inauguration on Jan. 20 of President-elect Joe Biden.
That is in addition to the more than 6,000 officers who are part of the U.S. Capitol Police and who are officers with the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department.
The more than 25,000 members of law enforcement personnel that are being deployed is five times the number of United States military deployed in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser’s request from President Donald Trump for an emergency declaration ahead of the inauguration comes at the same time the Department of Defense said it would comply by Friday with Trump’s orders to draw down troops to 2,500 in each country.
As Breitbart News reported, the DOD is meeting Trump’s January 15 deadline to draw down the number of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan to 2,500 in each country, according to the Pentagon. About 900 US troops will remain in Syria, multiple defense officials said.

'It's overkill': Inauguration lockdown deals another blow to struggling D.C. businesses
Washington Times, Jan 14, 2021
(https://twt-thumbs.washtimes.com/media/image/2021/01/14/Capitol_Breach_28661.jpg-51844_c0-389-4650-3100_s885x516.jpg?9e816a9577b940f8075f4e29cd3c5f8791a4b814)
The unprecedented security buildup in Washington for Wednesday’s inauguration — 20,000 troops, miles of fences and barricades, mass transit shutdowns — has business owners asking if all this is really necessary.
Federal officials and security experts say the measures are prudent, given the online chatter about a repeat of last week’s storming of the U.S. Capitol — an attack that some authorities now suspect was premeditated rather than spontaneous.
“They are sending an f—ing message. There is no question about it,†said Lew Schiliro, the former head of the FBI’s New York field office.
[...]
He said the Trump administration is committed to ensuring a “safe†inauguration for Mr. Biden.
That event is still days away, but the city of Washington is on lockdown.

It sure says a lot about how confident they are that Biden is the duly elected leader of the country.

This DC lockdown is unconstitutional and a blatant attempt to normalize dictatorial power. We’re nearly a week away from 1/20, yet there are checkpoints and ID checks for residents. DC looks like East Berlin. #FreeDC

Lawmakers ask Army to provide cots for National Guard members sleeping on Capitol floor

These guys aren't there to protect anyone - they're there as an audience.

Look at the forces that were provided to protect peoples lives, properties, and livelyhoods during the Summer BLM /Antifa reign of terror.
Just shows EXACTLY what priority the socialist democratic criminals have in DC.

1961:
The communists build the Berlin Wall.
2021:
The communists build the Capitol Wall.
What's changed...?
(I went through the Berlin Wall in 1971, Checkpoint Charlie... in uniform)

Well, I think there is a much larger target. 25,000 troops (I had heard 15,000) at first. 25,000 troops is a lot of troops to protect a relatively small city.
....hmmm....what is their true objective?
I've also heard that they will have additional troops in all capitals. Martial law perhaps?
Troops are already in place. Sloe Joe can direct them after he takes his oath.
He has two excuses; chatter of insurrection and/or increase in COVID cases.

My friend sent me a text this morning forwarded from a friend of his that is a Huntington Beach, CA police officer that rambled on about how martial law was going to be declared and there would be a worldwide media blackout but Trump would be talking to us on the emergency broadcast system. I asked him where exactly this scary news and he got a link from his friend that went to some fireside chat Lin Wood gave. I told him not to worry because fantasies almost never come true, now democrat communis nightmares? They come true.

ELIJAH SCHAFFER @ElijahSchaffer
So when there were 100,000 Trump supporters in DC protesting the election
they had 50 unequipped police officers guarding the Capitol
But when there are no people attending the inauguration they need 20,000 armed troops to guard it
They know something we don’t

I don't think so. The MSM/Big Tech/Dim rats have seized a once in a "20 year news cycle" event, and are milking it to the maximum.

DC this morning. This is mind boggling. Usually at this time before an inauguration the place is bustling ... final touches on the parade route, folks from all over the nation begin pouring in, vendors are out en masse, protesters are marking their territory. The place is electrified.
Not today, Jan 16, 2021. Here's a video from RSBN: https://www.pscp.tv/w/1vOxwEpQbNDGB (https://www.pscp.tv/w/1vOxwEpQbNDGB)

My thought still is that they are going to declare and implement martial law, but not quite sure why all they troops would be assembled in D.C., unless U.N. troops are already in place throughout the states.
My hunch is that the D.C. hub that Bammy wanted in D.C. was created quietly. There are quite a few UN offices in Washington and in DC.
Another thought; the dollar is getting ready to collapse; the projection wasn't until 2021 -- but the DEMS/Chinese may want to speed things up.

My two cents - its all theater intended to convey the grave threat to the new government right wing extremists/white supremacists present.
Can't enact draconian restrictions of constitutional liberties without being able to point to such a grave threat.

Do the democrats -- right now -- have the power to call up the National Guard @skeeter

Trump responded to Bowzer’s request, right? Once they’ve been called up I don’t know who arranges things tactically, though. Such as in what strength.

Armed, but given only one round of live ammo that they are to keep in their pocket. What are they afraid of?

Here's info gathered from sources other than Q's lunacy (who says this is in preparation of Biden's arrest on Jan 20) @skeeter
Bowser requested a while ago that the National Guard be brought in in anticipation of the riots in response to the Trump victory. Since Jan 6 she has increased her request. (Which is why no one is bitching about them being there)
The DC National Guard is under the command of the President. The President has delegated that to the Secretary of Defense, who delegated to the Secretary of the Army. So the Secretary of the Army is the one who approved this build-up.
The state National Guard who have been sent to DC fall under the command of the DC National Guard --- meaning they’re under the direct command of the Secretary of the Army.
As I posted up thread, these barriers won't come down after the inauguration and a military presence will remain around the Capitol --- and, I'm guessing, the White House.

Wow. Thanks for running this down.
I know nothing about the Scty of the Army other than he was a protege of Robert Gates.

@catfish1957
Today, a law enforcement officer in D.C., stopped a man in his vehicle and there was a weapon and 500 rounds of ammunition. That is why there will be 25,000 law enforcement officers in D.C. on inauguration day. :beer:

"DC this morning. This is mind boggling."
I watched some of the video.
"The land of the free..."
When I was a soldier in Germany in 1971, I got picked to take the "Berlin Orientation Tour" to [what then was] West Berlin. Travelled there overnight and back on the "Duty train" that ran across the East German border.
Part of the tour was a bus trip -- in uniform -- through the Berlin Wall at Checkpoint Charlie.
In the afternoon, we were given a couple of hours to wander freely on our own (again, in uniform), through the streets of East Berlin.
Considering the video above, there was much more "freedom" in that communist city in 1971, then there is in Washington, D.C. today...

Thank you! This is the information that I have been asking. Biden isn't obviously President yet, so this was initiated under Trump.
