The Coup Open

1. Mike Pence, Judas.

2. If I’m the Dems/Uniparty, I jam through everything possible as soon as possible. Let some theater happen, let some Republicans whine a bit on word whore shows, it won’t matter.

3. Then, manufacture another emergency for the next election so that there will be mail in ballots again.
3a) Then Uniparty solidifies and makes permanent their rule of the land, is this Union worth it?

4. How soon does the GOP send out donations mailings?

5. Endlessly discredit MAGA and anything related to it relentlessly…just like the Tea Party

6. This was all the lesson that Iron Fist tried to tell us, Politics is a knife fight, to the hilt.

Did I miss anything?

Some light reading.

    Because this:

    Trump will be an ex-president in 13 days. The fact is that getting rid of Trump is the easy part. Cleansing the movement he commands is going to be something else.

    Good morning. Continuing the discussion we were having yesterday about what the Left would do to erase us, here’s one we missed.

    CNN’s Oliver Darcy is trying to get the cable companies to deplatform – Fox, OAN and Newsmax.

    Larry Correia on how things have changed…….

    I’m seeing people I would consider boring vanilla normies, not gun culture people, not Trumpkins, not preppers, not even that political, now talking about violence and revolution like those are perfectly normal topics. Twenty years ago that was reserved for us internet gun nuts and taboo crazy talk for everyone else.

    I am at a loss. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I am not aware of the word uttered by Trump that could be considered ‘incitement’.

    Yet people like Trey Gowdey and Betsy DeVos are accusing him of just that.

    Either I’ve really missed something – please tell me what, exactly – or normally sane people are telling massive, socially destructive, lies. And I don’t understand why. Fear?

    Seeing reports of a Capitol Police officer dying from injuries sustained Wed.

    So they’ll somehow try and charge Trump with murder AND have a martyr to kneel for over six NFL playoff games, probably the biggest captive audience of the year. I know he’s a cop, but rules don’t apply.

    Sincere apologies to his family, many prayers,and may he rest in peace.

    But I don’t feel I have the luxury of not pointing out the obvious and disgusting tactics about to be used.

    I hope I’m wrong.

    And look at this headline in the Daily Mail about Ashli Babbit

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9126329/Trump-supporting-Capitol-rioter-shot-dead-harassed-husbands-ex.html

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has spoken to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff about preventing President Donald Trump from initiating military actions or a nuclear strike.

    Pelosi said in a statement to colleagues that she spoke with Gen. Mark Milley “to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike.”

    She said, the situation of “this unhinged President could not be more dangerous.”

    Another one

    A major Republican donor is turning on President Trump for stoking mob violence that breached the nation’s capital.

    “No tax cut is worth being branded a domestic terrorist,” Dan Eberhart, who is the CEO of an oil services company, Canary, told the Washington Examiner. “Trump’s made himself toxic by turning his rhetoric into violence, which is a line no politician should ever cross. Words matter.”

    Pseudo-realities are, simply put, false constructions of reality. It is hopefully obvious that among the features of pseudo-realities is that they must present a plausible but deliberately wrong understanding of reality. They are cult “realities” in the sense that they are the way that members of cults experience and interpret the world—both social and material—around them. We should immediately recognize that these deliberately incorrect interpretations of reality serve two related functions. First, they are meant to mold the world to accommodate small proportions of people who suffer pathological limitations on their abilities to cope with reality as it is. Second, they are designed to replace all other analyses and motivations with power, which these essentially or functionally psychopathic individuals will contort and deform to their permanent advantage so long as their pseudo-real regime can last.

    Lee Smith gets it

    When a regime sanctions the political violence of one faction against another, events like Wednesday’s bloody skirmishes at the Capitol are a foregone conclusion. Presumably the country’s corporate, political, and cultural elite assumed that after four years of trying to humiliate and unseat President Donald Trump that his supporters would simply accept their continued degradation, impoverishment, and disenfranchisement. Or maybe they thought that with their allied press and social media obscuring reality, no one would notice they were waging war on Americans.

    I once created a twitter account and was suspended without tweetrting a single tweet.

    Yep banned for not saying anything.

    Reason was aggressive following.

    I got reported to twitter for following people.

    That is when we realised that twitter was a toxic platform inflienced by mob mentality.

    There is probably an archive post at the other place. It was a test.

    It’s hard to move from one platform to another and right now he has other issues to deal with.

I WAS – and still am by nature – a software person – and the glitches I’ve seen in twitter are hilarious. He’s in it for the power trip, that’s it. Good luck, my bet is that the guy still can’t get laid.

    I’ve lived my professional life with dorks – most of whom were really good guys – who were just too nerdy to be socially successful.

    Then there were the ones who wanted revenge. That’s Jack.

    I think Trump needs a satellite. or two. I am sure Elon Musk would accelerate him. That lets him skip all this infrastructure owned by the left.

    I deleted my prior identity. Created a new one with an email addy I use for nothing else. I don’t post, I just watch. I lurk, basically. Twitter admin contacted me to prove I’m not a bot, which I did. I think I’ve posted once, to a Sherryl Atkisson tweet asking about good movies – I suggested Queen’s Gambit.

    I intend to remain invisible.

    I deleted my previous identity because of the Trump Accountability Project and others of the same ilk, who intend to come after anyone who ever supported Trump. My husband is in that target field, anyone looking could have dug around and figured out who he/we are/is.

    Sometimes it’s difficult keeping my mouth shut, but I have no illusions of the lengths these people will go to just to satisfy their virtue-lust and I have a family to protect.

    Is it only my impression, that the dems went back to the roots starting after the civil war in the South only with changed signs? They no longer use white militias like Red Shirts, White League or riffle clubs to wreak havoc but instead use black movements like BLM and similar groups as useful idiots. The goal is the same: wipe out the Republicans and the Trumpists entirely. To deplatform Trump and his followers is an unprecedented tool never seen before in a free country. To cut information was the first step communists, fascists and national socialists did after they came to power.

    Technocracy is a global system designed to implement central resource management and control through rules-based micromanagement. The growth of technocracy is made possible by digital systems and software, artificial intelligence, and the “one way mirror” managed through 24/7 surveillance by intelligence and enforcement agencies—funded by our tax dollars.

    The beauty of technocracy is that it can be integrated into a wide variety of political and corporate systems. While the U.S. promotes the notion of markets and democratic process, our systems can be converted to technocracy with the integration of an endless stream of government, banking, and corporate rules and algorithms that manage and control our daily lives and infrastructure. The same process is rolling out in the one-party system of China and also via mind-numbing regulation by multiple coalition governments and institutions of the European Union.

    Seeing and documenting this process is challenging. It requires integration of complex operations across many different industries and governments—and it is protected by extraordinary secrecy afforded to the military-industrial complex and the central banks.

    Transhumanism is in there too

    @ Guggi:
    IMO the election was the disaster. The march and protest was an effect of the election. It had plenty of opportunities in it for the energy to be addressed.

    Its not a positive event because the media doesn’t want to brainwash it that way. I heard one guess of 3 million attendees? and one of 500. But there are a lot of good energetic stories getting not told. The GoP is failing here by not collecting the good stories from the demostration. Par for the GoP course.

    In most of the videos of destruction I saw there was always a few people taking the destructors aside and talking to them.

    Ashli Babbit died and a capitol police officer. But that is much less than we have seen in the BLM riots which everyone is learning from. Is it necessary to be violent to carry the day? 2020 is suggesting yes. Congress seems to agree with 2020.

    It actually was a large peaceful protest with a few dozen anarchists destroying junk. Just like in Seattle or Portland. But with much less destruction and violence. No fires set. No Chaz.

    Pelosi is old. Very old. She is full of imaginary fears that are rounding out her years of service. And she likes to manipulate stories in unethical ways. The odds are really high that she orchestrated the protestor invasion. She only needed one or two accomplices. And I am sure she has very close relationships with the security. Pelosi let herself be rear ended so she could claim foul.

    Within the Capitol Police I think it is reasonable for them to open the gates when faced with a massive march. Retreat. Regroup. Only think is that they were still too small of a group. Trumps error is here. He should have been at the front talking and directing the crowd energy. If he wanted to do that walk he should have organized it first. And the crowd itself should have had some respect for their surroundings. Still no fires were set. There were instances of the police severely over reacting. Those instances set some people on fire. No de escalation. One sees a lot of spastic emotional Q hysteria in the internet forums. I’m sure some of that was there at the protest. No one knows how to deal with that.

    A disaster would have been 3 million people rioting or even 10,000. It was only a few. A statistically insignificant outlier. Who actually didn’t deliver a strong enough message to congress.

    @ darkwords:

    “Ashli Babbit died …”
    Did you happen to notice that the door she was trying to climb through led to the ‘Lobby’, not to offices? The door was blocked on the opposite side, held shut with office stuff that police must have piled there. It was her only way out. Also if you look at the video you see the riot squad climbing the stairs behind her and camera crues blocking her exit from that area on the other side. She did not have any way out other than that door. It appears to me that she took (tried) the only route available to her if she wanted to leave.
    She was holding the door with both hands while attempting to pull herself through, BOTH hands clearly occupied when the officer stepped out of his hiding spot and shot her point blank or particularly cruel.
    I normally defend the police but in this case that was some really poor judgement (yes, on both their parts).
    There were at least half a dozen heavily armed cops standing right behind her too which makes it even more puzzling.
    Of course the question to me is “Did you feel the same way when Floyd died?’ etc etc. No, no two incidents are the same.
    I hate to borrow from Obama BUT, ‘She could have been my daughter !”. It has just left me very sad so I’m hoping writing about it will help alleviate some of the sadness I guess. I also do not trust that the picture I described (‘Lobby’ sign) won’t disappear!
    I bet the officer wishes he had it to do over again and will no doubt suffer for the rest of his life because of it.
    In any case I don’t see any of it being Trumps fault. Most of the MSM should be the ones behind bars.

    Sunday (tomorrow) at midnight Amazon will be shutting off all of our servers in an attempt to completely remove free speech off the internet. There is the possibility Parler will be unavailable on the internet for up to a week as we rebuild from scratch. We prepared for events like this by never relying on amazons proprietary infrastructure and building bare metal products.

    We will try our best to move to a new provider right now as we have many competing for our business, however Amazon, Google and Apple purposefully did this as a coordinated effort knowing our options would be limited and knowing this would inflict the most damage right as President Trump was banned from the tech companies.

    This was a coordinated attack by the tech giants to kill competition in the market place. We were too successful too fast. You can expect the war on competition and free speech to continue, but don’t count us out.

    @ Bunk X:

    Sorry for the late response, I was just now able to get back on here. Everytime I went to type a reply a ‘Warning’ popped up along with gibberish , none of which made any sense to me.It wasn’t the first time this has happened to me here though over the years.

    Anyhow, look for the picture of her going through the door window frame with a ‘Warning’ in the top left hand side of the photo. Enlarge it. Then look close dead center of the pic. I can’t make out the first word but the second clearly says ‘LOBBY’ in white letters against a dark blue background with 2 red stripes at the top and bottom of the graphic. There are a bunch of photos on the page that give a pretty clear ‘picture’ of what was going on around her at the time she was shot. Then theres video too. You can see that the riot cops checked out the scene, gave their approval and started to head back down the stairs when the shot rang out. Its sickening and I’m used to violence.
    The assassin very easily could have signaled those riot cops, especially the one in front who was obviously in charge and standing just a foot or two behind her. If the shooter just leaned against the open window and hge riot cop grabbed her by the coat or hair, done, over, no problem. I wonder what he looked like when they told him she was a veteran?
    Until the cop popped out and shot her there was no one in that hallway thats she was going after, it was empty.
    I have no way of knowing this BUT knowing that she was in the military and in battle zones for all those years in the ME you knw damn well that she is familiar with unfamiliar places and had to learn to use her witts, be resourceful.
    With those riot cops running up the stairs towards her, finding that the exit door (to Lobby) barricaded shut, people blocking all other means of escape, I’m sure that empty hall marked, wait for ittttttt ….. ‘LOBBY’ …. looked pretty enticing as the best, quickest, safest way for her to escape the craziness – especially if she felt uncomfortable in crowded areas, maybe had some issues etc.Who knows… maybe some PTSD ? She appeared to me to want
    O U T … OUT !! Her hands were as clearly empty as could be as she was holding herself in the door frame WITH both of her hands – no possible way to hold a weapon.
    That cop just cooly walked up to her and executed her. It was as cool and calculated as the scene in Goodfellas when Tommy DeVito walks into the room thinking he was getting ‘made’. I don’t think she even had the time to say ‘Oh noooo…’ like Tommy did, no kiddin’. The riot cop who was right behind her gave the shooter a ‘Thumbs up’ too after he saw she was shot and down for the count. ‘Yep Ace, you got her …’. FUCK I wanna PUKE. NO ONE SEEMS TO GIVE A DAMN either !! I don’t get it. Because shes a Trump supporter she deserves to be EXECUTED ? How about the fact that she was a strong, independent woman who made a go of it and in a male dominated profession too and did so for many years proudly serving her country ? No huh ? That don’t count, there wasn’t a ‘D’ after er name on her voter reg card. Throw her out.
    I LOOOOOOOOATHE these people !!

    @ 4_Sticks:

    Good Lord help me, i can not even make a simple post anymore without screwing it up somehow.

    Where I said that the word Lobby is clear, right above the door is correct and that simple. The rest about the ‘white print, black background with two red stripes etc refers to a WARNING graphic added to the picture / page and it has nothing to do with describing the ‘LOBBY’ sign ! The description of the Lobby sign is simple:
    Just carved (or painted) above the door that Ashli is trying to climb through are two words – the first I can’t make out, the second ‘LOBBY’.
    Sorry, its very late and I did not sleep the night before I was so damn upset. Why else would Ashli be trying to get to an empty hallway to a LOBBY ?
    Doesn’t take a genius…..

    226 | January 10, 2021 8:22 am

    @ 4_Sticks:

    I hope you’ve been able to get some rest between posting and reading this.

    The word preceding the word LOBBY is SPEAKERS. Ashli was at an entrance to the SPEAKERS LOBBY.

    Here’s a 4 minute video that will show you the layout. As you will see, it’s not an actual ‘lobby’. The term refers more to function than architecture.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-aTwl5U61Q

    But recently, Pelosi had all the furniture removed. This is from last November

    The long leather-seated benches and armchairs around the fireplaces of the House Speaker’s Lobby have been cleared out in an effort to keep lawmakers from congregating and lingering during votes.

    Speaker Nancy Pelosi addressed the behavior, which is in direct violation of guidance from the attending physician, in an announcement from the House floor Wednesday.

    “The chair would advise that all members should leave the chamber promptly after casting their votes. Furthermore, members should avoid congregating in the rooms leading to the chamber, including the speaker’s lobby,” said Pelosi

    https://www.rollcall.com/2020/11/18/speakers-lobby-capitol-seating-members-social-distancing/

    It’s a social distancing issue.

    I don’t think the cop who shot Ashli knew there were cops behind her. They were coming UP the stairs and may not have been visible from his position.

    I don’t know that the cop who gave the thumbs up was doing anything more than to signal to the shooter that there was no more threat. He’d just arrived and hadn’t seen the whole thing go down.

    But, at the risk of assuming what people on scene did or did not know/think, it does seem clear to me that the cop simply could have pushed her back thru the window.

    I just found this. From Oct 2018. I have no idea where it stands now.

    The Guy Who Built The World Wide Web Is Building A ‘New Internet’, Where You Control Your Data

    You see, for years now Berners-Lee has expressed his distaste at how major corporations have taken what was supposed to be a free environment and placed restrictions on it. He doesn’t like how groups like Facebook, Google, and Amazon have effectively centralized the Internet, nor how they control people’s data. So he’s instead working on a new platform and startup that’s declaring war on Big Tech.

    Inrupt is a startup that Berners-Lee has been working on in stealth for about nine months. He’s even taken a sabbatical from his prestigious position teaching at MIT’s CSAIL labs in order to work full time. And Inrupt will finally launch to the world this week, Berners-Lee told Fast Company in an exclusive interview.

    @ eaglesoars:

    Well you beat me to it although I didn’t find the video you shared just that I played around with that photo in MS Paint until I could make out the word ‘Speakers’.By then my eyes hurt so I figured I’d sleep on it and do the researc h this morning. I just woke up now – thanks fr doing the research !!
    Not to imply you’re doing my work for me just that when I I woke up I felt hung over (I’m old) and seriously considered giving it a rest for the day. Or this morning at the very least.
    So no doubt the operative word is and was ‘Speakers’ not ‘Lobby’. I still haven’t heard that she was armed and I wonder if like the dog who chases cars, what she planned on doing if she bumped into Pelosi ? It could have gone the gamut from a rebuke to physical violence so the sop was probably following protocol the moment she crossed from the hallway side of the door to the Speakers side. As was pointed our already, he could have pushed her back through instead of delivering a bullet to the head but thats Monday morning quarterbacking.
    Well I’m done running my mouth over this, thank you for the info, I feel a bit guilty now that I’m about to take a sip of fresh coffee.

    I would tell you if you can spare some liquidity to buy metal but I think gold is expensive. I sold out about 10 months ago after some years of holding so I did ok. If you DO decide to buy, buy the actual metal, don’t fuck around with ‘certificates’. I’m still doing ok on the silver, but not enough to sell out.

    But they’re going to go forward with it, anyway, even if it takes several months. That way, if he’s convicted by the Senate, he can be barred from holding further federal office. Then he won’t be able to run again in 2024.

    1) Can I borrow the #NotMyPresident hashtag or is that reserved only for Trump?

    2) Do I have to accept the election results or can I adamantly oppose for four years claiming ‘election interference’?

    3) Am I entitled to see Bidens tax returns to learn how his income jumped so dramatically in one year?

    4) Am I allowed to trash anything that says Biden without repercussion because I’m just expressing myself?

    5) Is there a sign-up somewhere for riots or do organizers call me or how does that work since I didn’t get my way?

    6) And, are businesses targeted because they supported Biden, or do I just pick a business that has something I want to take home?

    I apologize for all the questions but this is all new to me, I want to make certain that I’ve got it right.

    Calibre works perfectly on ereaders. It’s a library manager used to transfer books from your computer to your book reader. Nearly all of them in fact. As for B&N book readers they are great. I use the Nook Glowlight Plus and it’s great. Waterproof, metal body, bright light, does the nighttime blue-light adjustment, the whole deal. Never have loved kindles closed ecosystem.

    To repeat, since no one else is saying:

    200,000 Trump supporters in DC.
    200 people committing violence/breaking the law on Capital Hill.
    99.99 percent of Trump supporters were law abiding, peaceful, protesters.

    And the violence:

    2 Policeman recieved medical treatment and went to the hospital. 1 died, reason unknown.
    1 Person murdered by the police.
    2 People died of heart attacks.
    1 person died of internal injuries. Trampled by mob? Fell off rafter? who knows.
    0 Congressman/Senators/Staffers attacked or injured.

    Property damage;

    a few broken windows and doors.
    a Stolen lectern
    a stolen computer
    a few trashed offices.

    That’s the “Terrorism”! Where was Herman the German when Antifa burned down Kenosha WI, and 10 people died, and millions of dollars in property damage occurred?

    Judge Janine paraphrased my thoughts on this past weeks’ events better than I could: The actions at the US Capitol several says ago were deplorable, reprehensible, outright criminal. These frightening and repulsive actions represent the most significant breach in our Capitol since the war of 1812. I don’t care what happened in the past, or if those who did it think the election was stolen. That isn’t justification. 75 million of us are still angry about the election, but I didn’t storm the Capitol, (or any building, for that matter). Stop looking for other people to blame, including the Antifa dirt brains. To those who did this, **YOU ** did this, and **you** will be held accountable. Take the veil of politics off, and be objective. Anyone watching this, must condemn it. In the end, what was the point ? What did you get out of it ? Was there any plan once you got in there, besides looking like a bunch of freaks ? Breaking windows, carrying off a podium, sitting at Nacy Pelosi’s desk, leaving her a love note ( complete with fingerprints ), identifying yourselves with selfies, stealing property, damaging, looting, trespassing ? 5 people are dead in your wake. A police officer, an Air Force veteran, countless others injured, a young officer on video screaming in pain while being stuck in a door, crushed, with blood coming out of his mouth. Did anyone stop to think that with this foolhardy effort to stop the Congressional meeting, you have smeared the 75 million of us, because of what you did ? Did anyone change their mind ? NO ! You have tarnished all of the good that has been done over the past 4 years because of this lunacy ! Worst of all, you have ceded the moral high ground to those who have repeatedly taken away our freedom of speech, freedom to practice our religion, the right to be with our families, the freedom to celebrate holidays, even to go to work, as you prance around in the Capitol like a bunch of grinning idiots. You just gave the green light to those who wish to silence the rest of us. You just gave the political Establishment and Big Tech cover to go about becoming more corrupt, and go about oppressing the rest of us. Goddamned idiots — you’ve harmed the rest of us !

    It’s not like they weren’t going to start this once Trump was out of office anyway. They just started a couple weeks early. The left has been chomping at the bit to line us up for the cattle cars for years, they are looking for an excuse even if they have to manufacture it.

    That’s the only reason to do it, since it won’t happen until he’s already gone.

    There are two possible punishments in an impeachment: Removal from office, and barring the person from holding further office. The latter isn’t automatic, though. It has to be specified.

    That’s how we got Alcee Hastings, impeached federal judge, in the House. When he was impeached, they didn’t bar him from further office.

    @ eaglesoars:

    not to put too fine a point on this..but.. lol

    this is going to be a long struggle with ups and downs and TONS of misinformation. i have no idea how it ends…i hope with dissolution of the union.

    i remember what i saw in east germany and how it went down. for a successful revolution, the insurgent has to live and thrive within the system; have two faces. the state wants people to willingly place oneself outside of the system, and thereby identifying as an insurgent. this is the goal of the state; the state would like nothing more than millions of isolated and pissed off islands grumbling to themselves, secure in their own purity. those huge protests contained many party members and people who worked on the inside. the east german state would have loved if all of those pissed off would have dropped out and self identified to be picked off one by one.

    i dont see much point in boycotts. for instance, amazon…they provide many great services. why would i stop using them? it would make my life much more difficult. if they went away, prices would also go up. that does not mean that i agree with them. so, if i take my money elsewhere and the next company pisses me off? then where? then where after that? grow my own cotton to make thread to weave my own clothes? why would i quit using my cell phone? yes its a tracking device and yes, i have a faraday bag if i need it, two faces.

    there are necessary evils while remaining engaged, but that does not preclude ‘insurgent’ activity and organizing as well. the east germans did a great job of having two faces. they also knew that any organ of the state is a potential enemy. this includes the police, stasi, military, bureaucrats, and politicians. they fully understood that any of these organs would crush them at will and in a moments notice. its not that the members of these organs had a hatred or anything ideological against the people, but, it was to protect their livelihood and to protect themselves from wrath of the state, the state that they helped perpetuate in infinite loops person by person. hence the reason that no one who is an ‘insurgent’ should ever trust any member of a state organ. back the blue? BWAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!! they will take your ass down in a minute to save their paycheck and pension.

    why no trust? well, the long march through the institutions has occurred and we are seeing the result. yes, the individual in the organ may be on your side on an individual level, and that goes out the window when lost pensions and jail time are the presented for not following orders. after that, you get stomped. sorry just business…gotta feed the family…the insurgents now have to take back the institutions.

    its going to be a long road. two faces works.

    how asymmetric information warfare and information management will be…i have no idea.

    Video of a policeman being assaulted at the capitol. Decided not to use the word cop anymore. I don’t approve. Although I know the police would treat me like a perp if I was there.

    A couple of cheap shots by protestors yet I think I also see people trying to protect the policeman.

    I’d prosecute the people doing violent things there for the violence. I also think the violence is a necessary outcome of the lid the Dems are trying to put onto society. I expect more of it.

    The majority of the policemen and women I know are Trump supporters and would be at the front line of any protest if they didn’t have responsibilities to their work place. I know bad cops. I know the police population has a stronger character than most populations.

    It’s one of the toughest jobs in the country and their leaders are forcing them to act against patriots. IMO they will drift into the Stasi faster than the country drifts into rebellion.

    One of the reviews.

    Humbling and fascinating look at what has happened during the Holocaust, something to reminds us that not everyone who perpetrates monstrous acts is, inherently, a monster: One need not be born a monster to become one, and if we arrogantly ignore that fact we risk repeating these same mistakes.

    People who have been in wars describe man as a someone with a quiet monster within

    “I don’t think that you have any insight whatsoever into your capacity for good until you have some well-developed insight into your capacity for evil.” ― Jordan B. Peterson

    People that have gone to war might be the only ones who really understand this.

    Its the reverse of my psychology. I tend to prefer the hard road to peace. I like all the kids to be able to grow up safe and healthy.

    Big Blue here though is a criminal entity. It won’t respond to peace. Some form of violence has to check it before thoughts of peace can be entertained. (And Big Blue as in Big Biden, Big Tech, Big SJW, etc) Needed something simple to represent them all.

    Loss of USCP Officer Brian D. Sicknick
    January 7, 2021 Press Release
    At approximately 9:30 p.m. this evening (January 7, 2021), United States Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick passed away due to injuries sustained while on-duty.

    Officer Sicknick was responding to the riots on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol and was injured while physically engaging with protesters. He returned to his division office and collapsed. He was taken to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The death of Officer Sicknick will be investigated by the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch, the USCP, and our federal partners.

    Officer Sicknick joined the USCP in July 2008, and most recently served in the Department’s First Responder’s Unit.

    The entire USCP Department expresses its deepest sympathies to Officer Sicknick’s family and friends on their loss, and mourns the loss of a friend and colleague.

    We ask that Officer Sicknick’s family, and other USCP officers’ and their families’ privacy be respected during this time.
