Militia groups want to 'blow up the Capitol' when Biden addresses Congress

Skeptic Ginger · 28th February 2021, 07:14 PM

Not sure where to put this. Seems like we need a fresh militia threat thread. There is the threat of a March 4 Trump event and more worrisome this CNN: Capitol Police chief warns militia groups want to 'blow up the Capitol' when Biden addresses Congress.

Quote:

Acting US Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman warned Thursday that militia groups involved in the January 6 insurrection want to "blow up the Capitol" and "kill as many members as possible" when President Joe Biden addresses Congress.

Pressed by House lawmakers to provide a timeline for removing the razorwire fencing and other enhanced security measures installed after the US Capitol attack, Pittman said law enforcement remains concerned about threats by known militia groups "with a direct nexus to the State of the Union" address.

We have time:

Quote:

Biden's administration is considering an address to a joint session of Congress later this year, though a specific date hasn't been identified.

Homeland Security is monitoring internet chatter.

But it's going to be the lone wolves that are the hardest to stop.

Quote:

"The most significant terrorism-related threat currently facing the nation comes from lone offenders and small groups of individuals inspired by domestic extremist ideological beliefs, including those based on false narratives spread over social media and other online platforms," the spokesperson added.

If this belongs somewhere else, thanks in advance for moving it.

I brought this up in the "How bad will it get next week thread?" because we're supposed to believe by certain people...ok, one person...that it'll be just the "same old, same old" domestic terrorism a la Timothy McVeigh, the Unabomber, etc. I.E. not Trump motivated.

I considered that thread but it really has run it's course. If we were only talking about March 4th .... but now we have a whole new set of circumstances.

Maybe a merged thread is in order.

There is some twisted beauty in the reaction to right-wingers committing violence: because they have no sense of cognitive dissonance, an attack like the one on the Capitol, can be an expression of Patriotism and a False Flag operation at the same time.

Future terror attacks, too, will be seen as heroic and a (((left-wing Plot))) simultaneously.

No problem.

It's the same twisted logic from the people who have no problem seeing a serial adulterer, liar, conman, and sociopath without a shred of morals or conscience as the instrument of God sent to save America from the Commie, Socialist, Radical Libtards.

Perfect example Stacy.

I remember how, after 9/11, plenty of people trotted out the bit in the Koran that gives Believers permission to lie if it was in the furtherance of the Cause.

Current Conservationism, and Trumpism in particular has this in spades: lying to the Press, to Judges and voters is not only permissible, it is evidence of commitment to the Leader.

I don't see it as dissonance.

America is only America if ruled by Real Americans^TM. Any government not run by them is illegitimate.

It's boilerplate fascism crap, purging the nation of undesirables and enforcing their will through violence is all perfectly consistent with that ideology.

I made this thread a while back. Seems like the fears weren't unfounded.

This is a surprise? Doesn't surprise me.

Hopefully Homeland Security and the Secret Service will be able to nip this in the bud and prevent any violence from happening.

Then certain people will say, "See? I told you the fear mongering was all way overblown!"

Those certain people will never be convinced or swayed. Nipped in the bud? Project Fear. Attack carried out, left wing false flag.

We're talking about a group of people who believe Hilary Clinton drinks the blood of newborns.

They have been emboldened by Trump and the GoP. It's going to be a while before you guys can slap them back into place.

Depends on the packaging. If the USA and FBI SAC do a shoulder to shoulder press conference after some arrests, in front of a table full of scary looking guns, boxes of ammunition and bomb making material they will pretty much insulate themselves from fear mongering charges. If we keep hearing about these arrests for lower level felonies and misdemeanors of morons, yeah the public may have a hard time taking the threat seriously.

The DOJ should be able to come up with a couple of sacrificial lambs dumb enough to cross into seditious conspiracy who are also massive gun nuts to serve the purpose.

What did anyone expect from those Mexican murderers and rapists Biden has been sending private jets to bring into the country?

Skeptic Ginger · Today, 09:02 AM

I wonder if we'll see scattered mini-crowds tomorrow on a few street corners or in front of whatever buildings these guys focus on, while a Biden state of the union gives them a focal point to show up in one large group?

There were a bunch of cult members near CPAC, lining the street Sunday with Trump signs waiting for his limo to drive by. It's bizarre how many people are taken in by a lying con-man.
