I heard at least some of the people ...I was there. I heard at least some of the people apparently involved in breaching the Capitol talking about it on the radio. I don't know if they were Antifa/BLM or FreeFor and at this point it matters not. The movement from the Ellipse to the Capitol before 1 pm was the result of Pence's refusal to throw out the fraudulent EC votes, the fact that Trump was verbally meandering about without any firm call for action,and the awareness that the deadline for a vote was coming up and this was their last chance to make their point more or less peacefully. Anger, yes. Determination, yes. Lots of uncoordinated actions by thousands of small groups, yes. No "raging mob."<br /><br />Congress and the 4th branch have not seen an enraged group yet, but I am very much afraid that they will soon, if some of the attendees that spoke to me yesterday are to be believed. Given that many of these were veterans who take their oaths seriously, I am inclined to think that they meant what they said. We shall see. <br /><br />With regard to all who seek and defend the Light,<br />HistorianHistorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01582656292146780624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-22446911184725322532021-01-07T15:17:55.349-05:002021-01-07T15:17:55.349-05:00@Bob:

It's not going to come out immediately, probably have to wait 10 - 15 years, but come out it will; these are not the sort of people who will be able to, in the long haul, keep quiet about their "accomplishments."boronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05780356895910449471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-46730110921803444252021-01-07T13:59:37.163-05:002021-01-07T13:59:37.163-05:00You know, I've been in a very sour mood lately...You know, I've been in a very sour mood lately. I became aware of that more so this morning as I was shopping online for more rifle magazines. My wife, who's always been a middle of the road gal, told me she voted for Biden. It didn't surprise me much because no matter how much I tried to educate her on the BLM goon club, she was squarely in favor of the whole movement, though she didn't favor the violence associated with them,but still there was plenty of evidence to educate her with concerning their ideology, but she kept saying I didn't know what I was talking about. Couple that with her muffled musings in my presence lately, by telling me to just accept that Trump lost fair & square. She has expressed a lot of contempt lately regarding my opinions. I'm a die hard non party affiliated conservative. She's always known that. Politics never played any role in our relationship. The last time we had an argument over politics was probably 6 years ago re the whole Treyvon Martin shooting. It was a vicious argument. We were on opposite ends. I decided never to bring anything like that up again. We have a great marriage, otherwise. But lately she's been mouthing off under her breath in earshot of me about how finally "people like me just need to shut up & accept things. You lost." Excuse me? I wanted to tell her the guy she married is the one who is pretty much every -ism in the book according to her MSN newsfeed; racist, sexist, white supremacist, etc. I've held my tongue. Yet, she is doing her internalized victory dance & every now and then it's escaping in my presence. She has recently belittled me when I mentioned that every firearm I own is Joe's ban list & I no intention of registering or turning in any of it. She tells I'm being paranoid & crazy. We've recently discussed moving away from the city into the middle of our state (Florida), essentially into red county territory. We both want out of where we are, but oddly enough she starts with "if the welcome includes burning crosses on the lawn & a bunch of hicks flying Trump flags..." Huh? WTF? Hey, babe, everything away from the cities is solid red...and affordable," I told her. Funny that because she wanted me to move to Baton Rouge. Anyway, we still have a solid marriage but I guess she's been so isolated ever since the covid-19 nonsense, that she's losing focus. I've been spending more time out in the sticks rucking by myself, doing something training, & assessing my positions & where I stand. I'm too old to change, too independent in mind to shut up & submit to what seems to be approaching. Made my list of last preps. Stuff we may need.Almost there. But I'm angry after watching what happened on January 6th. That young gal murdered by some DC goon. I'm even more angry now because as I'm typing this Uncle Joe interrupted Rush & I can't stand to hear that moron lie. If he wants to fly the black flag, I'm game.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13934391467648789653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-23338636895648591132021-01-07T12:52:57.527-05:002021-01-07T12:52:57.527-05:00I, too, would accept an honest loss.

The beautiful thing about the protest is that they learned that not all of us are.<br /><br />My husband was aghast at the open show of defiance. I simply said, "Some people are really angry about the way this election was conducted."<br /><br />He wanted to engage in a discussion. I said nothing.<br /><br />Eventually, he may begin to understand that the Deplorables (not the Officially GOP ones - they are hopeless) - those that are not-Elite, nor even Wanna-Be's, those that don't have powerful friends helping them to a soft landing, those that just want to see an honest vote - EVEN IF IT MEANT THAT THEY WOULD LOSE.<br /><br />Think of that. The Deplorables would accept an HONEST LOSS.<br /><br />But, they are furious about the blatant dishonesty of this election.<br /><br />It may take a few - or more - rounds of this kind of action before they have to think about the corruption, fraud, and abuse they have permitted to stand, just because it left them in charge. I do hope they aren't slow learners - it could get nasty.Linda Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024201252345608291noreply@blogger.com
