First Came Word Guard Might Be Staying In D.C. For Much Longer, Now There's Word on the Barbed Wire Fencing
By Nick Arama | Feb 18, 2021 11:00 PM ET
We’ve been reporting on the troubling question of what are the National Guard still doing in Washington, D.C. at this point and why are there reports that they intend to keep them through the fall?
So far there’s been no explanation given as to why that’s happening and what the rationale is, what the “threats†are supposed to be. No one is being told, including the governors whose units were being used or Congressional Republicans. Rep. Lisa McClain, who is on the House Armed Services Committee, is demanding answers from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on the matter. It’s ridiculous that there’s so far been in excess of $480 million spent without any explanation to Congress as to why it is continuing.
But that’s not the only problematic security measure continuing in D.C. Remember that fencing around the Capitol? The Capitol Police are now asking that the 8 foot barbed wire fencing stay in place around the Capitol until September to help protect lawmakers “while authorities work to track down threats.â€

The wall and the troops aren't going anywhere.
Expect the wall to be rebuilt and reinforced.
Expect permanent "checkpoints" to be built for the Guardsmen.
Eventually, however, they may be replaced by some kind of new pseudo-military battalion. Call it "the Capitol Stasi", for lack of a better name...

How the hell did they come up with September? What's going to be dramatically different in October??
-
It's a strong indicator democrats are up to no good, and they are giving themselves the summer to get it all perpetrated. Try and be more suspicious.
-
Maybe the dems expect/invite antifa violence this summer and don't care if the rest of DC is destroyed.

My question as well. Perhaps that's the expected time frame of the complete collapse of this Republic. Martial law. UN troops.??

As often as Proggies accused Trump of trying to provoke an imposition of martial law, Joe & Nancy are closest to actually imposing it.

@Fishrrman
The wall will be around longer than any of us,but the NG troops will be going home as soon as the Dims manage to get a bill passed to hire a special "political police force" to be stationed in DC with the sole purpose of Fthe professional political class.
The first thing they need to do is come up with a "user friendly name". It WILL be a private political army,but even they won't dare using such a name. Maybe something like "Homeland Defense Force",maybe.
Maybe after a few years the pols might even be bold enough to rename it with it's natural name,"The Gestapo".
Expect the wall to be rebuilt and reinforced.
You betcha. I expect it to even have built-in defensive measures,like tear gas dispensers built into the wall itself.
Expect permanent "checkpoints" to be built for the Guardsmen.
Going to be a part of the original plan,along with machine gun positions and directional lights.
Eventually, however, they may be replaced by some kind of new pseudo-military battalion. Call it "the Capitol Stasi", for lack of a better name...
See the above. They WILL be nothing less than "The American Gestapo",but will have some sort of PC name like "Homeland Defense Force or "America's Capital Defense Force". At least at first.

@mountaineer
Why would they,when they live by the Golden Rule that states,"ME FIRST,DAMMIT!"?

@libertybele
Don't worry about UN troops. That is NEVER going to happen because if they see US troops as a potential threat to their thrones and personal safety,why the HELL would they trust UN troops to not take it all from them before hanging them?
Besides,it won't be long before we have an army composed mainly of illegal aliens looking to earn US citizenship who would be happy to do their dirty work for them in exchange for citizenship?

silly sh*t from both directions... nothing an armored D4 cat couldn't tear down in mere minutes.

The Private Political Army (whatever they name it) will be National, not just in D.C.
They will be heavily armed and trained in gun confiscation, and no 'rules' or 'laws' will apply.
If they stop your car (and they will) and see a weapon, they will take it immediately.
If they are in your home for whatever reason and see a weapon, they will take it immediately.
With no explanation necessary. Much like any occupation Army does.

Of course. Like their forefathers in the actual Gestapo,they will even eventually have the authority to execute you on the spot and hang your body from traffic signs as a message to others temped to break the laws.

Nope. I don't believe it will get that extreme.
Random checkpoints along roads looking for weapons, cash, and if you don't have a mask I can see.
Random arrests for vague 'laws' which cannot be obeyed I can see.
But I simply cannot imagine this new fascism going as far as the Nazis did.
Simply because we have the Nazis as an historical example.
America would never allow that.
The German people and Europe did not know what it was all leading to.
Like many stupid Americans today, they were thinking, "National Socialism can't be all that bad."
Now we do know. Now we know how far this can go.

Only some of us know, 240B. Most people under the age of 50 or so have absolutely no idea, thanks to their public school education. They don't know what the Nazis did, they don't know what Communists do. Like Sgt. Schultz, they know nussink!

IMHO...some form of the implementation of H.R. 127 or an executive order implementing an updated version of the 1994 assault weapons ban.
The only other thing I could imagine is that they decide as we head into winter they re-impose lockdowns and required mask wearing after relaxing the requirements over the summer.

@240B
Have you not been paying attention to what has been happening?
Ask yourself "Is there anything the Dims are promoting today that draws near zero attention that would have had people out screaming in the streets 10 years ago?
AND....who is going to stop them if they manage to seize total control over the government by rigging ballot boxes in the next 2 elections,2 years and 4 years from now?
Once they do this,there is NOTHING to prevent them from doing whateverthehell they WANT to do.
